UPGRADE NOTES:
A new queue management utility helps
manage the new queues in version 5.3.2. It is available on Windows. Please see
BIA_AleEventUtil_readme.txt for information and usage of the utility.
To upgrade the Ale Module from version 4.8.1 and earlier or version 5.0.0 to
5.3.3 or later:
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.
Six new queues are needed:
· SAPALE_Archive_Queue
· SAPALE_Event_Queue
· SAPALE_Wip_Queue
· SAPALE_Error_Queue
· SAPALE_UnSubscribed_Queue
· SAPtid_Queue
Also an empty text file called EventState.log is
required in the %CROSSWORLDS%\connector\SAP\ALE directory.
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 5.3.2 or later:
* Process all of your failed events in the SAPTid_Queue.
* Clear the messages out of the SAPTid_Queue.
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.
