Symptom
• Object /SAPSLL/APPIDX missing from Import/Export Buffer.
• Buffered Objects report in transaction ST02 does not show /SAPSLL/APPIDX.
• Missing object occurs after a restart to the application server.
• Multiple application servers are available for GTS.
• Running /SAPSLL/SPL_INDEX_CREATE simultaneously syncs all application server buffers.
• /SAPSLL/APPIDX stores SPL search terms in application buffer, if it is not available then SPL
screening performance is negatively impacted.
• Customizing setting "Store summarized index in Application Buffer" is not realized.
Environment
• Global Trade Services
• Sanctioned Party List Screening
Reproducing the Issue
1. Transaction ST02.
2. Double click "Export/Import".
3. In the next screen click "Buffered objects".
4. /SAPSLL/APPIDX does not appear in this report.
Cause
After implementation of SAP Note 1834267, if several application servers are available for the GTS system,
the buffers are now synchronized simultaneously when running /SAPSLL/SPL_INDEX_CREATE.
If a change to an SPL customizing setting is made or any SPL relevant data is uploaded by XML the system
will not use the buffer until the synchronization job has been run.
After a change to /SAPSLL/APPIDX it will get "kicked out" or "dropped from" the buffered objects. This is to
ensure data consistency across all application servers.
Resolution
The synchronization job must be run after every change to the SPL customizing or an SPL relevant XML

upload from a data provider.
Program /SAPSLL/SPL_INDEX_CREATE triggers the synchronization across all application servers. This job
must be run after every change in the following order (see KBA 2074620):
1. Reset Customising and Application Buffers:
Transaction: /SAPSLL/SPL_RESET (Program: /SAPSLL/SPL_CUS_APP_BUFF_RESET)
2. Generate Comparison Index for SPL:
Transaction: /SAPSLL/SPL_ST01 (Program: /SAPSLL/SPL_CREATE_SEARCHTERMS)
3. Aggregate Comparison Terms:
Transaction: /SAPSLL/SPL_ID01 (Program: /SAPSLL/SPL_INDEX_CREATE)
4. Generate Comparison Terms for Business Partners:
Transaction: /SAPSLL/SPL_STBP (Program: /SAPSLL/SPL_CREATE_SEARCHTADRC)
5. If TREX is active then Transfer Comparison Terms to TREX:
Transaction: /SAPSLL/SPL_STTREX (Program: /SAPSLL/SEARCHTERMS_LOAD_TREX)
After running these jobs /SAPSLL/APPIDX will be buffered again and the data contained in the object will be
consistent across all application servers while also being adjusted to whatever changes have been made.
