Maintaining the archive table

Using the IBM CrossWorlds Station tool, you can display the archive table and determine the status of archived events. In the table, you can identify events that need to be resubmitted for polling when an integration broker subscribes to them.

To display the archive table:

  1. Go to IBM CrossWorlds Station (transaction /n/CWLD/HOME).
  2. Click the Management tab, and then click Archived Events.
  3. Click the Execute button (F8) to display the archive queue.

To limit the number of archive entries that are displayed, populate the applicable fields in the Archived Event Selection section. For example, to limit the displayed entries for a particular business object, enter a business object name in the Object Name field. If you do not know the exact syntax for the business object name, click the Object Name field, click the arrow button, and then select the appropriate business object name.

To see more information about an event, double-click an event field. The following is a list of the possible event status values for the archive table:

0 -- Success The connector successfully processed the event and sent the business object to the integration broker.
1 -- Error in SAP The connector encountered an error while retrieving the business object within SAP for this event.
2-- Not Subscribed No integration broker was subscribed to the combination of the business object and verb for this event.
3-- Error in Java The connector encountered an error during one of the following:
  • Receiving the business object from SAP
  • Converting the SAP business object to a WebSphere business object for SAP
  • Inserting the business object into the message queue
4 -- Max requeued The event was requeued more than the maximum times specified by the requeued constant, c_maximum_requeue (usually 100). An event is requeued if its business object is locked.
5 -- Multiple Event Some business objects have single events in the event table that cause multiple events to be created at the time of retrieval. The original single event does not create a business object and is therefore archived using this event status.
6-- Event Deleted A user manually deleted the event from the event table.

Resubmitting events from the archive table

You can resubmit events from the archive table to the event queue for reprocessing. Depending on how you want to handle the events in the archive table, you have the option of resubmitting a single event or multiple events. Keep in mind that resubmitting events only moves the events from the archive table to the event table and therefore the events do not pass through event distribution, event restriction, or event priority. Follow these steps from the Archived Events window:

  1. Click the Execute button (F8) to display the archive queue.
  2. Select the events to be resubmitted.
  3. Click the Resubmit button, or from the Archive Entry menu, click Resubmit (F8).

A status message displays. You can display the connector log to view the event and its new status.

Deleting events from the archive table

You can delete archive events manually or schedule them to be deleted automatically.

To delete archive events manually:

  1. Go to IBM CrossWorlds Station (transaction /n/CWLD/HOME)
  2. Click the Maintenance tab.
  3. In the Online section, click Delete Event Archive.
  4. Populate the applicable fields.
  5. Click the Execute button (F8).

To schedule automatic deletion of archive events, contact your basis administrator and schedule report /CWLD/TRUN_EVENT_ARCHIVE_TAB.
