Explaining Replication Usage

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain replication usage

Replication Usage

Screenshot of the replication status. Information about the replication status is provided in the following text.

The replication status provides a user interface that allows the Master Data Steward to check the replication status of specific objects. It allows a business object-related monitoring, which is different from the replication log that has a more technical view with a focus on data replication runs that include many business objects.

If the user interface shows too much information, personalize your view using Settings.

Problems that are identified here usually have to be evaluated by a Master Data Administrator using the DRFLOG transaction.

There is also a SAP GUI transaction for the administrator for the replication status, and DRFRSD that shows more technical details. Be aware that the object type code handling differ sdepending on the business object. For example, the Business Partner is handled in general by object type 986, which is used in the SAP GUI, but is automatically exchanged with object type 147 in the Web UI.

Screenshot of the Web Services Monitoring. Information is provided in the following paragraph.

The figure Web Services Monitoring shows an example for an optimized monitoring using Web Services Monitoring (via SRT_MONI or SXMB_MONI). The shown layout allows for more transparency with regards to the Sender and Receiver interface and the messages associated.
