Chapter 10: R/3 System AdministrationSpecific Transaction Monitoring Overview12. Critical and noncritical alertsin each task are displayed.12An update terminate (or failed update) is an update to the database that failed. Theseterminates occur when a user entry or transaction is not entered or updated in the database.The following example should help clarify this concept:1. The accountant gives a file clerk a folder (similar to the “save” in a transaction).2. The file clerk gives the accountant a receipt (similar to the R/3 document number).3. On the way to the file cabinet, the clerk falls and gets hurt.The folder in not filed in the cabinet (the failed update).4. The end result is that the folder is not in the cabinet—even though the accountanthas the receipt.This same end result occurs in an update environment, the document is not in theR/3 System—even though the user has a document number.10–32Release 4.6A/B
