SAP Message RSMD670 - General task list for report RSRV_ALPHA_TEXTTAB_REPAIR. See long text

General Task List for the Repair Program for Keys in Text Tables:
With transaction RSMDCNVEXIT, you can do asystem-wide conversion of characteristic values for characteristicsthat use one of the conversion routines ALPHA, NUMCV, or GJAHR, andthat occupy characteristic values in invalid, internal formats. Basedon a program error, the characteristic values in the text tables oftime-independent characteristics are not considered with regard to timefor this conversion. This error is described in SAP Note 525799.
The available program RSRV_ALPHA_TEXTTAB_REPAIR, which will beintegrated into the subsequent support packages in transaction RSRV,convert the keys in the text tables and, in doing so, maintain theconsistency between the text tables and the remaining master datatables.

Prerequisites:
You can only use this program if you have previously executed theconversion for your system with transactionRSMDCNVEXIT. Otherwise, the programterminates with an error message.

Parameters:
The report occupies three parameters:

  • With the first parameter (Basic)Characteristics, you can
    • restrict the characteristics to be examined. If you do not specifyanything here, all basic characteristics having the followingproperties are checked:
    The characteristic, or one of its higher-level characteristics, usesone of the above-named conversion routines.
    The characteristic includes generated master data tables.
    The characteristic has a text table.
    • With the help of the indicator Check Only, you can determine
      • that only a check should be executed without any changes to your data.In doing so, if you specify that certain characteristics contain noincorrect values in your text table, then this information is saved tothe database so that such a characteristic is no longer checked withlater executions, and it means that the indicator ForceCheck/Conversion was selected.
      • With the parameter Force Check/Conversion, you can force a check
        • of a characteristic even if a check of the characteristic has alreadytaken place.

        Note:
        As when converting with the help of transaction RSMDCNVEXIT, it is alsoadvisable before using this program to save to the database.This is especially important if the texts no longer exist in the sourcesystems.
        If the program makes corrections, it locks the text table that waschecked. Thus, no texts are loaded while the program is running.
        Reporting is only affected in the run of this program if texts thatwere not found before this run are now found. Reports that run duringthe execution of this program can, among other things, display textsfor a part of the characteristic values, but cannot display them forother parts. (The program executes a commit according to 50000corrected records in order to avoid problems with overlapping rollbacksegments.)
        The task for this program is saved in what is known as an applicationlog. You can also view the task later with the help of transactionSLG1. There you need to specify RSDMD as the object, MD_CNV as thesubobject, and CONVERSION as the external indentifier.
