Monitoring Data Transfers

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to inspect data transfers via the Message Queue.

Monitoring and Managing Master Data Uploads

To monitor master data imports, you view master data load requests. After SAP Ariba receives master data, data load requests are created to load the data into the SAP Ariba infrastructure and index it for searching. You can view the status of master data load requests to see when SAP Ariba has received master data and verify that it was successfully loaded.

To view incoming material master data loads, sign in to the SAP Ariba Administrator and select Master Data Manager→Manage Data Load Requests.

Select List All to see log entries for all master data load requests.

Monitoring and Managing BOM Uploads

When using the BOM upload service you can:

  • See the status of the BOM upload by various status types.
  • Download the original content sent from the SAP ERP system.
  • View detailed BOM upload information, including any errors and the required corrections.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Message Queue located in the Product Sourcing Manager area on the Administration tab.
  2. Choose the following options in the Message Queue:
    • Message queue type: INBOUND
    • Type: BOM_UPLOAD_SERVICE
  3. Choose a Status from the dropdown.
  4. Select Search.

The BOM upload service runs every 5 minutes and takes all items in CREATED status and processes them.

A list of results based on the status type is displayed.

Monitoring and Managing PIR Data Transfers

To monitor PIR data transfers, you view outbound PIR messages (PIR data sent to SAP ERP) and inbound PIR messages (SAP ERP responses to the PIR data).

To view PIR data transfers, sign in to the SAP Ariba Administrator and select Product Sourcing Manager→Message Queue→Message queue type: OUTBOUND→Type: PIR.

The message status should change to Created, then Processing, and then either Success or Failed. If the status changes to FAILED again, check the configuration items listed in Configuring Purchasing Info Record (PIR) Integration.

The system displays responses from the SAP ERP if you choose INBOUND in the message queue type. If the results show a failed inbound message, notify the SAP ERP administrator.

Summary

  • Monitor master data load requests to verify successful SAP Ariba data imports and indexing for search functionality.
  • Use the BOM upload service to track status, download originals, and correct upload errors using SAP ERP.
  • Review PIR data transfers by checking outbound and inbound messages, ensuring status progresses from Created to Success.
  • Address failed inbound messages by notifying the SAP ERP administrator for further resolution.
