The RCIFIMAX report can be used to generate the runtime version of theactive integration model (CIF_IMAX table) and to check the dataconsistency between the runtime version and the table of the activeintegration model (CIF_IMOD).
The runtime version is a representation of the table of the activeintegration model in an form that is optimized for the online transferto SAP APO. In the runtime version, all active integration models arestored in an optimized form for each object type (for example, stocks)and target system. In addition, this table is buffered to all ERPapplication servers. As a result, the database access to the table ofthe active integration model during transfer is no longer necessary. Thedata in the runtime version is optimized for the evaluation of relevanttarget systems for each object type in online transfer (for example,stock posting). This means that the relevant target systems can bedetermined significantly faster. The runtime version is adjusted aftereach activation or deactivation of integration models. This ensures thedata remains consistent between the integration model and the runtimeversion.
After upgrading to SAP R/3 Plug-In 2002.1 or higher, we recommend youstart this report with the Generation indicator. The runtimeversion is created using the current entries in the table of theintegration model and this increases performance when determining therelevant target systems for online transfer. Note that the runtimeversion must be generated in all ERP systems and clients. If the runtimeversion is not generated, the system accesses the integration models todetermine target systems as before.
To check data consistency between the runtime version and integrationmodel, start the report with the Consistency Check indicator. Werecommend that you schedule this report regularly in the background.During the consistency check, you may not activate any integrationmodels.
You can rectify inconsistencies through regeneration. If inconsistenciescontinue to occur, open a problem message in OSS and describe the stepsthat led to the inconsistency.
