eWM in decentralized mode - How "disconnected" from ECC can it be?

432 Views

Dear eWM Experts!

I've searched in SDN and internet but fail to find an answer to my very basic question. I hope someone here knows the answer or can provide a link to a document where I can read up on this.

The deployment options for eWM include a decentralized option with qRFC and CIF. It sounds as a potential solution if we need to have factories up and running, performing eWM functionality while we have the global ECC module down for service.

But how disconnected from the ECC backend system can these decentralized eWM solutions practically be in reality? That is, can they operate individually and support eWM activities/functionality even though the ECC module is down for service for 10-20 hours?

Of course, qRFC is in its nature queued asynchronous information transfers u2013 But can we queue it all for hours and still have eWM operating on its decentralized local data, and then release the queue once the ECC is available again? Or will eWM functionality stop working rather quickly as the qRFCu2019s are queued up?
