Administrative Utilities

Checking the status of a converter is an important administrative utility. This helps you avoid conversion errors.

Display the status in Customizing for Conversions, in activity Maintain converter.
Each converter can have one of the following statuses:

Status	Description
Ready for conversions	No error has occurred yet.
Conversion in execution	This status can sometimes be incorrect. It may appear after a system crash, for example. Check whether a conversion is actually running. Set the status: ready for conversions when no conversion is actually taking place.
Connection error not ready	The system sets this status when an error occurs. Check the RFC destinations and the installation. You will find notes about troubleshooting the errors in the field Error number. Also read the output files from the communication programs (See: Installing the Converter). Set the status to Ready for conversions once everything runs properly. Rerun a conversion with this converter to ensure that the error was corrected.
No license for the last conversion	No software license available that is required for the conversion. The system automatically sets the status: Ready for conversions after a short pause. You can also set this status manually.
