ELM Process not getting started

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In our project, we are facing one issue in External  List Management (ELM). We are using 3 mapping formats but it's not getting started in any of the formats.

We have done all settings :

1) Workflow customizing

2) Automatic Workflow customizing in Swu3

All settings are same as development system. This ELM process is running fine in Development system but it's not starting aromatically in quality system. However when we debug the ELM BaDI then ELM process is running smoothly in quality system.

I need your help on this issue. What can be the reason for this problem??

Hi Sunil,

I suggest to check the authorization for running ELM. If the user doesnt have the authorization it will not get executed.

Hi Azaz,

Thanks for your reply. Could you please tell me the name of authorization object for ELM?

Thanks,

Hi Sunil,

I would suggest you to follow the below steps to get the exact Authorization object.

Please follow the below steps or take help of your basis consultant to find the authorization objects.

1. Goto St01

2. Select the 'Authorization check' check box

3. Click on the button 'Trace on'.

4. Click on general Filters and maintain the user name in 'trace for user only'.

5. Execute ELM and come back to ST01.

6. And check the log whether any authorization object is failing.

Best Regards,

Azaz.

Check the Auth Objects CRM_LIST_H and CRM_MAP_FM

Thanks Shobhit

The issue is resolved. We had not activated  the workflows for run time environment in transaction SWU3.

Check your user parameters in SU3.

If you have CRM_DEBUG_CODE = MKTLIST then remove it and then create ELM and start.

Thanks Naresh,

This was also done. The issue is resolved now.

But I do not understand how does this parameter affect the starting of ELM process.

Hi Sunil,

When you start elm it call the FM : CRM_MKTLIST_PACKAGE_MAINTAIN

In this FM on line no 111 - FM :   CRM_MKTLIST_CHECK_DEBUG_ACTIVE gets called.

This checks the parameter if it is active means you are in ELM debug mode and it will not start directly.
