Now about SM13
The Question is:
- What do you know about SM13 Check?
- If you found error, how you must report that error (for email report)? I ask this, because for this T-Code we have different way to report the error.
I’ll try to answer J
1. About SM13 transaction code:
- SM13 (generally) is Update management tcode.
- SM13 used for checking terminated update records on our manual check.
- Basically Update management is used for the following:
- Display update requests.
- Analyze problems pertaining to the update.
- Test and debug canceled update requests.
- Display and reset the status of update requests.
- Delete update requests.
- Display statistics on updates.
- Display update requests.
- SM13 transaction code is basically used to monitor the update statistics. In this tcode we can find out if any uncommitted updates are there for a particular user. We can check critical updates and non critical updates here. And also we can specify the date and time when there is an update error happened in our system. In netweaver system, Shift +F5 will lead us to the administration of the update system.

For Question 1 this is my answer I found from SAP R3 Administration made easy; maybe this can update your knowledge about this T-Code
A failed update, or an “update terminate,” is an update to the failed database. These failed updates occur when a user entry or transaction is not entered or updated in the database. The following analogy should help clarify this concept:
1. A secretary gives a file clerk a folder (similar to a save).
2. The file clerk gives the secretary 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 put into the cabinet (this is the failed update).
4. The end result is the folder is not in the cabinet—even though the secretary has the receipt.
For performance reasons, the database update is done in asynchronous mode. In this mode, the user continues to work while the system takes over the update process and waits for the database update to complete. In synchronous mode, users would have to wait until the database successfully updated before they could continue to work.
