Maintaining the event queue

You can check the outgoing current event queue for events that have not been processed by the connector.

  1. Go to IBM WebSphere BI Station (transaction /n/CWLD/HOME).
  2. Click the Management tab, and then click Current Events.
  3. Click the Execute button (F8) to display the current event queue.

To limit the number of event entries that are displayed, populate the applicable fields in the Current Event Selection section. For example, to limit the displayed entries for a particular business object, enter a business object name in the Object Name field. If you do not know the exact syntax for the business object name, click the Object Name field, click the arrow button (F4), and then select the appropriate business object name.

To see more information about an event, double-click an event field. Under normal conditions, events are picked up every few seconds. If an event is displayed, it has not been processed by the connector. This may indicate that the connector is not running.

The following is a list of the possible event status values for the event queue:

P -- Prequeued When an event is triggered, the status is initially set to prequeue (P), since it has not yet been determined whether the business object is locked.
L -- Locked When a user creates or updates a business object in SAP, a lock is placed against that business object. Once the business object has been committed to the database, SAP removes the lock. If an event is triggered while a business object is locked, the event remains in the event queue with status locked (L) until the lock has been removed.
Q -- Queued When the business object is no longer locked, the status changes to queued (Q), and the event is ready to be picked up by the connector. The event remains in this status until a confirmation of a retrieval is received.
R -- Retrieved When the business object is retrieved it is marked with an R in the event queue. The event remains in the queue until the event has been processed.
