Use

If you are not using EH&S service administration, you must process this Customizing activity to enter the configuration of EH&S Expert in the Windows registry. If you have installed EH&S service administration, you configure the relevant settings directly in EH&S service administration (see the Customizing activity Set Up Server Using EH&S Service Administration).

Standard settings

Using the Expert Admin icon, open the EH&S - Expert Administration dialog box.

The following settings are generated automatically during installation and if possible, you should not change them:

  • Global Settings
    • Server Polling Intervall..milliseconds field
      • Typical value: 100
      Value in [ms] after which the program checks whether a request from the SAP system to determine data is present.
    • Maximum Number of Requests before Restart field
      • Typical value: 100
      Number of requests that the Expert server processes. For performance reasons, the EH&S Expert server then starts a new Expert server and terminates itself.
    • EH&S Version: Value that was specified during installation
    • Reconnect Wait field
      • Typical value: 500
      Value in [sec] after which EH&S Expert attempts to reconnect to the SAP system after an interruption. This means EH&S Expert is not interrupted if the SAP system is not available for a brief period of time.
    • CheckGateway field
      • Typical value: 300
      EH&S Expert works as a registered RFC server that registers itself in an SAP system when it is started and waits for jobs. The RFC connection may be lost at any time, for example, if the network is interrupted or the SAP system is restarted. The RFC registration may be lost without the EH&S Expert server being aware of this. Other jobs do not then arrive at the EH&S Expert server. To prevent this, the EH&S Expert server can be set up so that it checks its own registration independently at specified time intervals. If the registration has been lost, the EH&S Expert server attempts to reestablish the connection after the intervals defined in the Reconnect Wait field. You can use the CheckGateway setting to define an interval in seconds for the active check of the RFC connection. If you enter the value 0 or the setting is missing, no check is carried out. Note that when the check for registration is active, it slows down the network and may create log entries for routers and gateways.
    • ReOrderBytes
      • This value is obsolete since EH&S Expert 2.7B SP03.
    • ShowBapiTime field
      • Value: <leer> oder Yes
      Enter Yes if you want to display in the DOS console or the Windows event display how long the respective calls to the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) modules took to read and write the input and output data for EH&S Expert data determination.
    • CacheRoot field
      • Directory for the EH&S Expert cache
  • Systems (settings for the EhsExpert entry)
    • Core Module (DLL) field
      • Value: ExpCore.dll
      Defines the *.DLL file for the Expert server.
    • Working Directory field
      • Value: for example, C:\Program Files\EHS Expert\Rules
      Working directory
    • Logging Directory field
      • Value: for example, C:\Program Files\EHS Expert\Log
      Log directory
    • Additional Settings list, name RfcLog
      • Value: Yes or No
      Here you can activate a log of the data exchange for all sets of rules. For more information, see Activities.
    • Additional Settings list, name LogLevel
      • Value: for example, 0
      Here you can activate a log of the rule execution for all sets of rules. For more information, see Activities.
    • Additional Settings list, name Install Dir field
      • Value: for example, C:\Program Files\EHS Expert\BIN
      Installation directory
  • SAP Destinations

    You can also make the settings described in the Customizing activity Set Up SAPRFC.INI on the SAP Destinations tab page. To do this, choose Add and configure the required settings.

    In addition, you can adapt the settings described here under Global Settings specifically for a particular SAP system and thus run EH&S Expert with EH&S systems or SAP systems of different versions on the same PC.

Activities

You register sets of rules for EH&S Expert under Instances. Demo sets of rules are delivered with the standard system (Demo1, Demo2, Demo3). To register a new set of rules, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Add.

    The New Instance dialog box appears.

  2. Enter the key for the new set of rules and choose OK. The set of rules is identified by means of this key in parameter EXPERT_RULE_SET (see Extend Entry in Secondary Data Determination).

    The key is transferred.

  3. Under Rule File, enter the name and path of the rule file: <Path>\<Name of rule file>.RUL
  4. Under Map File, enter the name and path of the file that contains the mapping tables: <Path>\<Name of map file>.MDB
  5. Under LogLevel enter a number between 0 and 15 for the log type of the Expert server. The higher the number, the more detailed the log that the Expert server generates. The file name of the log is EXP<name of set of rules><eight-digit random number>.LOG. No log is generated for the value 0. The following log types exist:
    • ERROR: displays the errors in rule processing
      • The message text is relayed to the calling system as follows: ERROR("<message number>","<message text>","<parameter1>","<parameter2>"," <parameter3>")
      EH&S Expert contains an error message table in the calling interface that includes internal errors (for example, errors reading and writing the data, errors in the mapping tables, and so on) as well as errors created by the person who created the set of rules using the ERROR command.
      The message number indicates a message code in the following form:
      - The first character indicates the message type (E for error, W for warning, I for information).
      - The next two characters indicate the message class (typically a customer message class specially created for the set of rules).
      - The next three characters indicate the message number.
      The message text specified is output if no text is specified in the SAP system. The three further optional parameters are inserted in place of placeholders in the message text.
      Example:
      ERROR("EZM502","Identifier & & with error","NAM", "PROD")
    • FACTS AFTER APPLY: Displays the facts with the data that is returned as the result after the rules are applied
    • FACTS WITH DATA: Displays the facts with the data before the rules are applied
    • APPLY COND: Displays the condition of the respective rules while they are being applied
    • APPLY TODO: Displays the respective TODOs being applied while the rules are being applied
    • APPLY NAME: Displays the respective names of the rules being applied while the rules are being applied
    • APPLY RULE: Displays the complete rule text of the respective rule being applied while the rules are being applied
    • ISFREE: Displays the status of the rules with respect to their preconditions (for example, whether a rule cannot be applied for specific reasons)
    • DEPEND PATH: Displays the rules that are dependent and on which the rule itself depends
    • EVALUABLES: Displays the result of the check, or in other words, whether or not a fact is empty
    • EVAL: Displays the result of an arithmetic expression (for example, A + B < C - D => result: A + B = 5, C - D = 6, 5 < 6 = -1)
    • RULES AFTER PARSE: Displays the rules that result after parsing after the rule file has been loaded. The sequence corresponds to that of the rule file. Parsing is the process of loading a set of rules. The syntax is checked, syntax errors are identified, and memory structures are generated in EH&S Expert in accordance with the rules.
    • REDUCE: Not currently used.
    • STATISTIC: Not currently used.
