RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES - what does this do?

[Former Member]

Hello there

I am trying to delete messages out of XI using the standard job that runs RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES. Runs successfully saying "72,909 XML messages deleted". Good news, but I can't find evidence of this. When I look back through SXMB_MONI -> Monitor for processed XML messages I can still old XML messages and can drill down into display XML message versions.

Could someone please explain what the program RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES does and how it does? Tried SAP Help, and although it says to run archive/deletion jobs through SXMB_ADM, I am still confused as to how it works.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Rakesh for your help but this hasn't resolved my question. I'm still looking through the SAP Help....

Hi Nicholas,

RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES deletes all successfully processed asynchronous messages after the retention period. They will not delete messages in error status though.

This will help u

Hi

There is two way to handle XML messages. Either Archiving or Deletion.

You have executed Deletion job & this job has deleted the XML Messages from XI
