Messages in Updates
During updates , the behavior of messages depends on the work process.

During updates in an update work process (

synchronous and asynchronous updates ), all messages apart from type "S" lead to a termination of the update. The update work process performs a database rollback, enters appropriate comments in the associated database tables VB... , and notifies the user whose program generated the entries by SAPmail.

During local updates , all messages apart from type "S" and "X" are converted to messages of type "A" and these behave in the same way as in dialog processing , which means they lead to a termination and a database rollback . Messages of type "S" and "X" are also handled in the same way as in dialog processing.

Note
In exceptional cases, the work process may be connected to a dialog (for example, during debugging). Messages then behave as in local updates.
