Inbound/Outbound Queue Restart Automation
The customer’s end-to-end business often requires the sending and receiving of transactions across SAP systems via synchronous/asynchronous messages stored in queues, otherwise known as qRFC/tRFC (queue/transactional Remote Function calls). Failures in this either on the inbound or outbound queues can cause delays and disruptions in critical business processes.
IT-Conductor allows users to automate the restarting of Inbound/Outbound (SYSFAIL, RETRY, CPIERR, and RUNNING) queues. It can be applied to one or more systems and can be run manually or on a schedule. This feature is highly adaptable to any customer environment and can become an essential component of IT maintenance operations.
- The system should be registered in IT-Conductor for monitoring.
