| # Processing the conversion cluster Use the CI Process (tccri7203m000) session to start the conversion batch process. Running a trial conversion To prevent inconsistent data after conversion, you must first run at least one trial conversion to check the availability of all data needed for the conversion. The trial conversion must be repeated until a "Trial succeeded" status is encountered. The trial conversion carries out the changes without storing the new data in the database. The errors detected during the trial conversion are logged to the error log file. During a trial conversion, the process does not stop at an error. In this way you can detect and solve all errors before you carry out the actual conversion. After a trial conversion, the Cluster Status remains Registered. The Run Status has one of these values: Errors/Warnings Errors were detected during the trial conversion. Trial Succeeded The trial conversion was completed without errors. Running the currency initialization process You can start the conversion process for a conversion cluster that has not yet been successfully processed. The Cluster Status must be Registered. When the process is started, LN sets the conversion cluster’s Run Status to In Process. During the conversion, LN performs these actions: Currency initialization. Registration of the audit data. Recording the process information. Update the Currency rates (tcmcs008) table. LN adds the CI currency rates of the new home currencies that you defined in the CI Rates (tccri7100m000) session to the currency rates that are defined in the Currency Rates (tcmcs0108m000) session. The CI rate is copied to each of the exchange-rate types in use. If a rate is defined in both sessions, the rate defined in the CI Rates (tccri7100m000) session replaces the rate present in the Currency Rates (tcmcs0108m000) session. The currency rate effective dates are set to the date and time when the conversion was completed. Update the company setup, visible in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session, with the CRI settings. A progress indicator informs you about the progress of the process. If no errors are detected during the batch process the conversion ends normally and the conversion cluster Run Status is set to Ready. The Cluster Status is set to Processed. If errors are detected you will receive a message and the Run Status is set to Aborted. The errors are logged to the error log file. |
