Extension Module |
Keep the value of ObjectEventId for an inbound transaction when returning the object back to the integration broker. |
**** ATTENTION ****
Current ALE Module users ONLY: This version of the adapter manages ALE transaction id's and IDocs using MQ Series. As a result, it is imperative that you allow the current IDoc processing cycle to complete before applying this patch. Temporarily halt the transmission of IDocs both to and from the adapter and verify that there are no IDocs (files) in the following directories when you upgrade:
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\events
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\wip
Also verify that any failed or unsubscribed IDocs (files) in the following directory have been reviewed, corrected and re-processed:
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\archive
Once all IDocs (files) complete successfully, apply the upgrade and follow the new configuration instructions in the documentation. For further details, please refer to the adapter guide.

UPGRADE NOTES:
To upgrade the Ale Module from version 4.8.1 and earlier to 5.2.5:
This version of the adapter manages ALE transaction id's and IDocs using MQ Series. As a result, it is imperative that you allow the current IDoc processing cycle to complete before applying this patch. Temporarily halt the transmission of IDocs both to and from the adapter and verify that there are no IDocs (files) in the following directories when you upgrade:
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\events
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\wip
Also verify that any failed or unsubscribed IDocs (files) in the following directory have been reviewed, corrected and re-processed:
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\archive
Once all IDocs (files) complete successfully, apply the upgrade and follow the new configuration instructions in the documentation. For further details, please refer to the adapter guide.
To upgrade the Ale Module for request processing from versions 4.8.2 through 5.2.4 to version 5.2.5:
The ArchiveDays connector configuration property determines the number of days when the TIDManagement files should be deleted from the %CROSSWORLDS%\connectors\SAP\ale\request directory. A file is created after an event has been processed successfully. All failed events will remain in the SAPTid_Queue until they are resubmitted again. The default is seven days if no value is given.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
To use the ALE Module to process large
IDocs or IDoc Packets:
Refer to the MQSeries System Administration publication for more information on configuring the log files.
