Documentation

Definition

  1. In Customizing (table TMCEXUPD):

    The maximum number of collective runs for which the delta data of the logistics BW extraction is retained in the backup table MCEX_DELTA_BACK.

  2. For the selection in the reconstruction report RMBWV3RE:

    The number of collective runs for which data is to be taken from the backup table MCEX_DELTA_BACK for the reconstruction of the extraction queue.

Dependencies

For 1.:

If a value for BACKUP_DAYS (number of days for which the backup data is to be retained) was also defined, the larger number of entries in the backup table is retained.

Example

  1. In Customizing:

    You have scheduled the collective run for application 04 to occur every hour (report RMBWV304). In Customizing, you have entered 72 for BACKUP_RUNS (represents three days) and you have entered 2 for BACKUP_DAYS. The delta data for application 04 is then retained in the backup table for three days. If the periodicity of the collective runs changes, this period can also change. However, it always amounts to at least two days because of the setting for BACKUP_DAYS.

  2. For the selection in the reconstruction report RMBWV3RE:

    You have scheduled the collective run for application 04 to occur every hour (report RMBWV304). In Customizing, you have entered 144 for BACKUP_RUNS (represents six days) and you have entered 2 for BACKUP_DAYS. The delta data of the last six days is therefore retained.

    Due to a database error, problems with RFC, an accidental deletion, or something similar, you lose the delta data of the last four days. Since it has already been extracted, it no longer exists in extraction queue MCEX04. You determine that this is the case for the data for the last 96 collective runs.

    Therefore, if you specify 96 as the selection parameter for the number of collective runs to be reconstructed in the reconstruction report RMBWV3RE, you can then restore the data.

    For more information about reconstructing the data, see the documentation for report RMBWV3RE in the SAP Reference IMG.
