Title
Updating the Attribute Buffer for Generic Attributes

Purpose
The program is used for structuring the attribute buffer for a specificday.If required, buffer entries can also be reset.
The program also offers you the option of preparing mobile clientdistribution for the scenarios SALE and SERVICE.
Daily manual updates (for example, after changing the organizationalstructure) are not necessary, as when you switch on buffering for ascenario, (asynchronous) updating of the buffer when there are changesis activated.
Buffering is only valid for a certain day, that is to say you cannothave a buffer for today and tomorrow.

Prerequisites
Indicate the scenarios for which buffers should be set up in viewcluster T77OMATTR. If, for example, you would like to buffer the BBPscenario, first call up view cluster maintenance with SM30 for tableT77OMATTR and select the indicator "buffering".

Features

Selection
You can choose whether all buffers should be reset (recommended as abatch run at night) or if you only want to update the buffer(recommended that you update manually during the day).
You can also choose whether the buffer entries should be rewritten. Ifthis is the case, you can determine the validity (date) of the buffer.Normally today's date is proposed; from 20.00 hours (system time) thefollowing day is proposed. This gives you the option of running theprogram in a batch from 20.00 hours to set up the buffer for the nextday (recommendation: Set the program to start after midnight so thatonline changes do not affect buffering).
The planned scenarios for buffering are displayed for your informationalong with the buffered object types. The program also displays the dayon which the buffer was last set up, when it was started and when itfinished.
In the CRM environment you can also prepare mobile client distribution.There are three possible variants:

• Only distribute changes (recommended)


• Only distribute changes and deleted or invalid objects or


• distribute all data (initial distribution).

If there is initial distribution, all objects that already exist arefirst deleted from the mobile client before new initial distributiontakes place.
You can also change the issue: In the standard (shortened), only theindividual actions are displayed. In the more detailed version, youalso receive a list of the updated buffer entries.
