Effective Monitoring and Cleaning of bgRFC Queues in SAP IBP

Monitor Bg Rfc Queue Clearing / Error Reading

• Monitor Bgrfc Queues

The purpose of this blog post is to demonstrate how the process of monitoring and cleaning the BG RFC queue, as well as error reading, is performed. Accumulated tasks in the BG (Background)

RFC queues in the SAP IBP system can negatively impact system performance. The goal of this

process is to clean unnecessary data from the RFC queue, ensure the system operates efficiently, prevent delays, and ensure seamless integration processes.

In SAP IBP, bgRFC (Background Remote Function Call) queues are used to manage background processes and data integrations in the system.

• What is bgRFC?

bgRFC is a mechanism that enables asynchronous data transmission between SAP systems. It

runs in the background to ensure that tasks are carried out in an organized and reliable manner.

• Types of Queues

• Outbound Queue: The queue in the system that sends data.
• Inbound Queue: The queue in the system that receives data.

• Monitoring and Management

• SM58: This is the primary transaction code used to monitor bgRFC operations.
• SMQ1 and SMQ2: These transactions help manage outbound and inbound queues, respectively.

• Troubleshooting

• It is important to check the error logs for any entries marked as “Failed” in the queues.
• SLG1: Another important transaction code used to view error logs.
• Performance Monitoring
• Regularly monitoring queue lengths and processing times is essential to identify potential bottlenecks.

bgRFC queues are critical for managing the data flow and integration of SAP IBP efficiently and securely. Therefore, regular monitoring and management are important.

• Monitor Bg Rfc Queue Cleanıng

1. Before starting an integration process, there are monitoring screens that should be checked. One of these is the ‘Monitor Bgrfc Queues’ application in IBP Fiori.

This application checks whether there are any queues generated during integration. If there is a queue, it will be displayed in the lower part of the screen.

!!! In this screen, error logs are shown to us. The error type is analyzed by reading the log, and the issue is resolved accordingly.

• QUEUE CLEANING ON THE ERP SIDE

1. To monitor queues created during integration on the ERP side, go to transaction SE93

and execute the ‘SBGRFCMON’ transaction code by pressing F8. Then, press F8 again on the next page to execute the code.

2. If there is an error message, it will create a queue. The error message in this queue will appear under the ‘Outbound’ section on the screen. Below is an example screenshot showing a queue in the Outbound section. After reading the details of the error messages, troubleshooting steps can be taken as shown below.

3. To delete the existing queue, right-click on the value under the Outbound section. Then, click on the ‘Mass Operation’ option that appears. After that, click on the ‘Delete

Queues filter’ option.

4. A confirmation box will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the queue. Once confirmed, the queue deletion process will be completed.

• CONCLUSION:

Regular cleaning of BG RFC queues in the SAP IBP system is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and ensuring uninterrupted data integration processes. Accumulated tasks in the

queues can cause performance degradation and delays. Therefore, timely cleaning of the RFC queues helps prevent potential issues, speeds up data flow in the system, and ensures that

overall business processes run more efficiently. Regular maintenance and monitoring contribute to the healthy and stable operation of the SAP IBP system.
