How Basis troubleshoot IDOCS error error status 51 and status 68

Steps:

1. From Basis point of view, the technical problem that we have to look at is the
transmission of the IDOC.
2. Firstly we execute BD87.
3. Enter IDOCS status 51 and press enter. You shall see below screen shot. As we
can see, error
 “Status 51″ are application or data related error.

4. For status 68 error, we do the same thing. Use BD87 ‘ Enter 68 on IDOC status.
 5. As there is no error message. We double click ‘Without error message’ to see the
IDOC details.

6. Go to status record to see what has happened with the IDOC process. As seen in
the picture, the error 68 was because the IDOC had status 51 which is caused by
application/data error.

7. Look at transaction SM58 for any hanging or error tRFC (most of IDOC use
tRFC/Asynchronous). If any check the error message.
8. If the partner type is LS which is logical system, you can check and test
connection of RFC connection via SM59.
9. In this case, there is no error tRFC on SM59 which proves those error are not
Basis issue.

BDOC and IDOC – What are they?

30 December, 2007 at 4:17 am · Filed under EDI ·Tagged BAPI, BDOCS, EDI, IDOCS,
RFC

What BDOCS and IDOCS.

IDOCS are intermediate documents (normally in text file format) which are used as
between SAP and non-SAP system. In a real work, a company may have different
systems. So IDOCS are used as a vehicle encapsulate these data so these systems can
exchange information.
Eg: During POS, IDOCS are generated and it includes price, number of items, description
and etc. Then its transfer ASYNCHRONOUSLY to SAP system. Think of it like excel
exporting a file to *.csv and then Outlook can read the *.csv file.

BDOCS on the other hand, is the CRM version of IDOCS. BAPI is another SAP
intermediate documents but its used for SYNCHRONOUS transactions.

In the computer world, we called such activity as ELECTONIC DATA INTERCHANCE

(EDI)

Procedure Cache Hit Ratio for database

26 December, 2007 at 2:24 am · Filed under Database ·Tagged Database, db2, mssql,
oracle, st04

What is it?
The hit ratio is a mean value that gives a snapshot of a short period of time before the
analysis. This value should always be above 95%, even during periods of heavy
workload. If the hit ratio is significantly below 95%, the data cache could be too small.

To check the hit ratio:

1. Execute ST04

2. If the hit ratio is below 95%, you will have to increase it.

demands are for specialized skills, and if you’ve got to pick the right market to be a
