(DTERP-2208) Release notes
- SNP
New Features
Analyzer - new straggler analyses
Functionality was extended with the following archiving objects:
| Archiving object | Description |
|---|---|
| MM_REBEL | Materials Management: Invoice Documents |
| SD_COND | Pricing condition records |
Mass archiving - monitor and scheduler
Old generic task handler monitors were replaced with new ones. The new monitor screen is tailored for archiving with new possibilities of execution of the run or selected variants.
Monitor
One row contains all necessary information about execution and the variant itself.
Scheduler
Execution of the archiving jobs is more flexible as you can decide the following parameters right before execution:
- Execution order
- Execution up to selected phase
- Number of jobs that will be used by execution
- Restricted execution time
Restricted execution - up to year parameter
The scheduler also makes sure you will not create multiple archiving files with the same data. Execution will be carried out respecting the specific design of archiving write reports. This includes archiving objects that have parameters 'Up to year' where with wrong execution order can create archive files that contain the same data.
Fewer jobs for execution
The new scheduler requires fewer jobs for the execution of archiving jobs as it executes them directly not using another job. Execution is now using half of the jobs to execute the same number of archiving phases.
Mass archiving - new archiving objects supported
Functionality was extended with the following archiving objects:
Archiving object | Description |
|---|---|
| CO_TOTAL | CO Totals Records |
| SD_COND | Pricing condition records |
| FI_ACCOUNT | G/L Account Master Data |
| FM_FUNRES | Earmarked Funds |
| BC_XMB | Archiving Object for the Integration Engine |
| AM_STEUER | Assets - Control Tables |
| FI_MKKPAYL | FI-CA: Payment Lot |
| MM_REBEL | Materials Management: Invoice Documents |
| MM_INVBEL | Materials management: Inventory documents |
Mass archiving - run filter
When runs in mass archiving overarch some numbers it could be more problematic to find desired runs and also the time of loading is decreasing. Therefore we added a filter screen at the start when there are more than 50 runs. The threshold can be changed using settings.
Mass archiving - multiple types of archiving object
Some of the archiving objects are archiving multiple types of data that can be selected from multiple tables. Mass archiving is now able to distinguish these types using multiple source analyses. However, one archiving run can archive only one type therefore when you want to archive all of the types you need to create multiple runs.
Mass archiving - object-specific static variant parameters
Archiving object writes report contains option parameters that are common for all of the variants (like key date, custom residence period parameters, and so on). Previously we generated variants with fixed default values for these parameters. Now, the user can decide what should be the values used on these parameters in the second step of archiving wizard. Default values are initially displayed for the fresh run.
