2 system PLM setup question - Connecting to another ECC system for master data

I have been tasked with setting up the latest version of PLM in our environment. We have a free standing PLM Server (ECC 6.0 EHP7, SP2 with PLMWUI 747, SP3) that we would like to connect to another ECC system (ECC 6.0 EHP5, SP4 with PLMWUI 701, SP4) for its master data. In trolling around google and the marketplace, there isn't any setup guide or anything that really explains what the options are. Does anyone know what the possible setup options are or even better provide links to documents that show how to set this up? Can PLM be setup in the way that we want it to be?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Steve,
Unfortunately there isn't a lot of PLM documentation available.
I'm not sure I really understand what you need, but in essence, the PLM framework was developed using the SPI technology. That is, the Service Provider Infrastructure, which is a technology to split the UI from the business logic behind it. The idea is, in the end, you can have one single DB, connected to multiple systems and different types of UIs. (you can find some more details here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SPI/Home)
As far as I know, you have to do some customization in SPRO and maintain views /PLMB/V_RFC_DEST and /PLMB/V_RFC_LSYS. Everything else is done by the PLM framework via RFC connections.
Hope this helps you...

Extractors/ Setup Tables for Master Data

Hi Experts,
I am not sure if the extractor enhancement methods, setup table initialisation for Master Data different from transaction data.
I am trying to do a delta init with initialisation of Setup table (OLI7BW) for 0CUSTOMER_ATTR. And I am not able to see any records in RSA7. Althought RSA3 shows 10 data packets and 1000 records.
What does that mean.
What I want to achieve is all the records a fresh for a few master data datasources since they were refreshed last month. Since then they were not being used.
Kindly help me as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Priya,
I am not sure if the extractor enhancement methods, setup table initialisation for Master Data different from transaction data. -
For your information there is no conecpt of intialisation for master data.
I am trying to do a delta init with initialisation of Setup table (OLI7BW) for 0CUSTOMER_ATTR. And I am not able to see any records in RSA7. Althought RSA3 shows 10 data packets and 1000 records.
What does that mean.
As said there will be no setup tbale concepts for masterdata, the changes for masterdata follows the delta pointer concept(i.e whenever changes to standard masterdata table happens the message class trigger the delta pointer for those changed records and post in RSA7).So always u see in RSA7 the changed records for masterdata tables
What I want to achieve is all the records a fresh for a few master data datasources since they were refreshed last month. Since then they were not being used.
i didn't get abt this question can u eloborate
let me know if i answered ur queries

A question on DataSource for Master Data example 0plant,0customer etc...,

I can get the field names of a standard data source for master data (say for example 0plant_attr) using table ROOSFIELD .
Now i want to know from which tables these fields are coming from.
How to get the table name for a each field in standard data source for master data .
For transaction data, transaction LBWE is there,similarly is there something like this for master data.
Another Question:
How to see communication structure for standard data source for master data ?

Hi,
the entire documentation for standard things in bi is avaialable in business content of net weavers in help.sap.com..... please refer this for any standard thing the entire documentation will be available.....
this is one of the thread for 0customer attr datasource and the various fields and the tables of origin check accorignly for what ever u want.......

Is there settng source system level for master data delta loading perfo

Hi Viwers,
Good Morning,
I am loading data from the source to target level for Master data it is taking too much time,I would like to know the how to increase the master data delta loading performance.
I would like to know the source system level is there any setting requited & target system level also.
Please give your inputs..........
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat Vanarasi.

Venkat -
Are u deleting the indexes of data target before delta loading ? If not,delete the indexes of data target before delta loading and recreate them after delta loading is done.This procedure increase load performance.You can perform whole procedure in process chain.

How to do Stastical Setup for Master data Loading

Hi All
Thanks a lot for all guys,who are helping me a lot.
I want to do stastical setup for Master data of sales order.I know how to do for transaction data.
But what is the procedure for MAster data in SBIW-Tcode.
Regards
Balaji

Hi,
<i>Actually first we should load data to Master data table and then to Transaction load data.By this reporting performance will be good.Right?</i>
Actually this will decrease the time of transaction data loading .So it improves the loading performance , not reporting performance.
<i>Now I got a doubt from where this Master Data is been loading? and how to load this data.</i>
2LIS_11_VAITM and 2LIS_11_VASCL are the DS for Transaction data , not for master data.To load the master data, first of all find out the master bearing characterstics in the data target.And then search for teh DS of master data in R/3 with tcode RSA6 .You will use characterstic(info object) as the search option here.
For example 0materail is the Master characterstic.
And you can see the DS for this Characterstic in RSA6(if it is not there, you have activate it from RSA5)

Question about converting to Quicktime: "Searching for movie data"

Hi All -
I converted several clips on FCP to Quicktime files onto my MacBook Pro. They play just fine. However, when I send these files to someone else or try to play them when my external hard drive is disconnected from my MacBook, I get the following message: "Searching for movie data in file sequence Sequence1-FIN-0000006".
The sequence number changes from one movie to the next, of course. Either way, the QT file will not play unless my external hard drive is connected to my laptop.
Why is this? Am I converting wrong? I'm using the top Convert to Quicktime when exporting the footage.
Any insight would be very helpful.
Thanks!!

Don't mean to disagree David, but that's not it. What was exported were REFERENCE QT files...not SELF CONTAINED. Meaning that smaller files were made that reference the media on the Capture Scratch. They will work fine on your system, as the media being referenced is there. When someone else tries to open them, they get that error, because they don't have the media being referenced.
When you export QT Movies, you need to check the SELF CONTAINED box.

Simple basic question on attribute data load for Master Data InfoObject....

Hi
I am a bit confused & wanted to have some clarification on the following:
1) For loading Attributes data to Master Data InfoObject, we load it through Data Source of Type Master Data Attribute.
But what i did, i created Data Source of type Transaction data and using the same Excel file, i was able to create transformation with Matser data Attribute and was able to load the data.
This shows i can use Data source of type either master data attribute OR Transaction Data doen't matter while loading into master data attribute. IS THIS TRUE?
2) I have 2 master data infoobjects (Test1 & Test2). I made Test2 as an attribute in Test1.
My question is while loading Master data for Test1, will it also load the data into Test2 if it doen't find respective data in Test2?
(i did all the transformation as per need.)
Waiting for your reply....
Thanks...

HI Harpal,
1. Did you make a transformation between attribute data source from source system other than flat file and DSO?...
I think PC File is flexible in this aspect..
2.While loading Test1 the infoobject Test2 will get loaded only if it is a navigational ttribute..(You can see this by refering the SID Table)
Please also note that it does not load Test2 attributes.
regards,
Rakesh.

BW system connecting to multiple ECC systems

Hi,
I am new to BW world & has a question to Gurus
1. Can I connecte a single BW system to source from multiple ECC systems (activley) with out any technical issues ? I am assuming that the multiple ECC systems are pretty much mirror images.
2. If possible what are the areas ( at a high level) I need to double check to make this happen ?
Thanks
Hari

Hi Hari,
Yes, you can connect multiple ECC systems to one BI system in one of my project we had more than 20 ECC systems connected to BI Production system.
How this works is because source system and BI system has got different provisions for that,
1) For connecting different systems you simply need to create RFC connection between them. After the RFC is formed you can load data from any of the systems.
How BI system differentiate similar data coming from these systems?
There is a field called 0SOURCE SYSTEM which is used as Compounding field, or primary key field where ever you have data loading from multiple systems, this field basically contains the 3 char source system ID and is used to differentiate records coming from different source system.
How delta is managed in this scenario?
In source system for each data source, a new delta queue is maintained for each target system.

Durgesh.

Master Data Setup Steps & Execution for SNP Aggregated Planning

Hi,
I need some URGENT Help on the Master Data Steps and Execution of SNP Aggregated Planning. I've read the SCM 5.0 help with quite confusing understanding from it as regards to Master Data setup.
I want to run SNP for a Group of Products at a Group of Locations (say Customer Group or Group of Distribution Centers) at an Aggregate Level & then later Disaggregate the Generated Supplies from the Aggregate Level to the detailed Product-Locations level.
I have setup a Location Hierarchy with the Group of Distribution Centers and Product Hierarchy with a Group of Products & since SNP_LOCPROD aggregation is assigned to the 9ASNP02 Planning area ... I created a LOCPROD Hierarchy which use the Location & Product Hierarchy.
The Main intention is to Improve Performance of Planning Runs at a Rough Cut / Aggregate Level by doing a Rough Cut Capacity Check & Split Distribution Center requirements to Multiple Plants producing the same product. This would also help increase the Optimizer Performance.
I am finding there is no place to run SNP Heuristic by Specifiying a Hierarchy in the Selection screen of /sapapo/snp01. So how is Aggregated Planning even run ?
(I know there are Aggregation & Disaggregation Functions available in SNP Interactive Planning ... but what do I put in the Selection as 'Hierarchies' are not available in the Selections in the 9ASNPAGGR Aggregation Planning Book).
Can someone also Provide me Detailed Steps and point me to a Detailed Training document on this ? I could not find anything on the SDN Form as well as BPX Forum as well as on Wiki site from within SDN.
Please if anybody can Guide me Urgently ? I am needing to test this quickly to Demo to someone to demonstrate the APO Capabilities (else the Customer may lose interest in APO as he is comparing functionality with another tool). I don't want this to happen.

Ambrish Mathur

Harish,
Read your Blog with great interest. I think you have very nicely captured the Features over there. It was very helpfull.
I still have some very very basic questions (sorry if I was not clear earlier) and I will try state with an Example.
Are you saying ...
1. If I have 2 Products FG1 & FG2 .. then I need to FIRST
     create another Product Master called FG1_2_GP (say)
     via Trnx. /sapapo/mat1 ?
2. Similarly for the 5 DCs say DC1, DC2 .... DC5 ... I need
    to First Create a Location of type 1002 DC1_5_GP (say)
    via Trnx. /sapapo/loc3 first ?
I think I have not done these at all.
3. Finally are you saying that I need to now Create the
     Hierarchies ... ZCPGPROD (using FG1 & FG2)
     and ZCPGLOC (using DC1, DC2 ... DC5) and
     then create a generated Hierarchy ZCPGLOCPROD
     with Structure SNP_LOCPROD and using the ZCPGPROD
     and ZCPGLOD as Component Hierarchies ?
4. I am still not clear how would you Link Product Group
FG1_2_GP with ZCPGPROD ?? Where do we setup that FG1_2_GP is a Header of FG1 & FG2 ?
5. Similarly where do you Link Location Group DC1_5_GP with the Location Hierarchy ZCPGLOC ?
6. Finally in SNP Interactive Planning with Planning Book 9ASNPAGGR using the Location-Product (Header) as Selection what will I enter in this field ?
I read your Blog. More details on the Example would help ... I saw in your Blog the PH_POWDER product Group (containing PH_FG1,2,3 Products) example which I was not clear whether it was a New Product you created via /sapapo/mat1 or a New Hierarchy Code created via /sapapo/relhshow. Similarly you did create Location Groups PH_DC_AGG but do not seem to have used it. I think you have assigned PH_POWDER group and assigned to Locations 3000, 3100 & 3400 individually via /sapapo/mat1 ... but was not clear on how you linked it to the Location Product Hierarchies. You have also not created a Location Produc Hierarchy at all using PH_POWDER and PH_DC_AGG at all ... or have you ?
7. Is the Untold Trick that the Product Hierarchy Name and the Product Group created in Trnx. MAT1 must be same and the Location Hierarchy Name and the Location Group code created in LOC3 Trnx. should be same ?
8. I had created a Generated Hierarchy at ZCPGLOCPROD ... is this what I enter in 9ASNPAGGR as Selection of Location-Product (Header) ?
9. I want to first understand Standard SNP before I go into the diretion of creating my own Planning areas and Planning Books. Is this really needed for me to Plan 2 Products in these 5 DCs at an Aggregate level. I will be doing Aggregation of all kinds of Demand (STOs, POs, Forecast, SalesOrders, TLB Order Demand) and want the Supply generated at Aggregated Level to Disaggregate to the 2 FGs at the 5 DC Locations based on Proportion of Demand.
I think my question is far more basic wrt the Master Data Setup ... would help if you can clarify each of my questions separately in your reply. The Confusion is due to lack of clarity on the Master Data Setup in linking the Product Group PRODUCT Code & Location Group LOC Code to the respective Hierarchies and also SNP Interactive Planning not having a Place to enter these created Hierarchies.
I do want to praise and appreciate your contribution to the Blog ,,, well done. Full 10 Points Guaranteed on reply to above questions.

Ambrish

Error in RSA3 - no target system for the delta update

Hi friends,
I have created one datasource but in RSA3 when i press F4 at target system it gives me msg like "The DataSource V_BW_DPP still has no target system for the delta update" what could be the reason? kindly help me.
Regards
Suyash

Hi Suyash,
First check whether the BW system is connected to R/3 or not by Right click on Source system in RSA1 and selecting the option Check.
Also What is the update mode you have chosen in RSA3?. Is it full ( F ) or Delta (D) . If you have chosen delta then you check in RSA7 whether the data source V_BW_DPP is appearing or not . If it is not appearing in RSA7 do init upload in BW system for the data source and then check in RSA3.

Change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system

Dear All,
I need to change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Marilia

Welcome to SDN.
There are SAP Notes 933024, 804057 and 592239 that provide a means of opening UCWB only for master data objects.
Another possible work around is to make the updates in BW and use the synchronization programs UGMDSYNC and UGMDSY20. However for FS Items and Cons Groups all of the master data elements such as breakdown category and period of first consolidation are not available for entry in BW so for these characteristics the maintenance must still be completed in UCWB.
