Regeneration of Interface Tables

Deletion of Interface Tables and Records

98
When columns are added or deleted from the system database tables, you must
regenerate all local and remote interface tables that are associated with those
object structures.
You regenerate interface tables by using the Create Interface Tables option on the
Select Action menu in the External Systems application. If you select the Rename
Existing check box, the application backs up existing data in the corresponding
interface table to the INTERFACETABLENAME_BAK table.
If necessary, restore the data to the new table. If you do not back up the table, the
table is dropped and the data is lost when you regenerate the table.
You cannot regenerate an interface table when the MXIN_INTER_TRANS queue
table contains a record that points to that interface table. When a row exists in that
queue table, the corresponding inbound transaction is ready to process, or the
inbound transaction is in error.
The interface table creation process does not check for records in the
MXOUT_INTER_TRANS queue table.
When one or more related inbound transaction records are successfully processed
in an interface table, the corresponding record is deleted from the
MXIN_INTER_TRANS queue table. This means that the transaction was
delivered successfully to the inbound Java Message Service (JMS) queue.
Records are deleted from the MXIN_INTER_TRANS queue table, never from the
individual interface tables. The system administrator determines when and how
to delete records from the interface tables.
For outbound transactions, the external system must manage the deletion and
archiving of data in the queue table and interface tables. An administrator must
manage the archiving of data in the interface tables.
You cannot delete interface tables by using the user interface or by deleting the
corresponding object structure. If necessary, a system administrator can drop the
table.
