How to Use Function_Loader_Inlay in SCM APO Version 4?

Hi ,
I was going through the SE38 - Program - Function_Loader_Inlay , to check the possibilities of upload and download product/location combinations in SCM APO version of 4.0.
But I am not able to use it as per the selection screen given.
Please let me know if some one has used the same.
Any inputs regarding the documentation OR how to use would be appreciated.
Thank you - Prasad.

HI,
We do not use this program.
For Characteristic combination creation as per product- location we use transaction /sapapo/mc62 inthat
Create characteristic combination --> infoprovider file
I would also like to know more about APOLoder which uses program which you have mentioned.
Function_Loader_Inlay report is no official SAP software.
It encapsulates ApoLoader functionality inside APO system

APO Version

Hello,
we are planning to Upgrade our core system from 4.7 to ECC6.0.
We are currently using a separate APO System with Version SCM4.1.
Is it possible to stay with this APO version or do we have to upgrade it as well?
If we don't have to upgrade: What PlugIns do we need for APO and the core system?
I guess the PI Plug-In for the core system is delivered with ECC6.0 right?
What about APO? What PI Basis Patch / Patchlevel do we need?
Where can I find further information?
Thx in advance,
Matthias

Dear,
The link is 'Integration of SAP R/3 / Enterprise, ERP and SAP Components' -> "SAP APO / SCM" which is in the left side under R/3 plug-in iten.
Note that on SAP ECC 6.0 and subsequent releases will automatically contain ALL integration interfaces that so far have been contained in the SAP R/3 Plug-In and that ensured the technical integration with other SAP Components. The Strategy Change is also well described in SAP Service Marketplace.

Hello Mathias
You dont need to upgrade APO also. I think from ECC6.0 onwards CIF is integral part of R/3 and you would not need plugins to integrate it with R/3. Hope this answer your question.

PP Version & APO Version

Dear All,
We have Versions in APO & Versions in PP.
I am clear on versions in APO, but what is the difference between the two, can anyone explain & summarize.
Thanks
Team Acceval

Dear All,
Our query should have been Versions in R/3 or ECC versus Versions in APO.
Because in the R/3 IMG there are settings for versions under
1. APO
2. Basic Data
3. Batch Management
4. Demand Management
5. Logistics
6. Logistics - General
7. LIS
8. Master Data
9. MRP
10. Purchasing
11. Supply Chain Planning Interfaces
All of these have a bearing on APO
Mohit, thanks for the inputs, if all details are available on SAP help, then there is no need for forums such as these right?
Dear Senthil & Harsh, Many thanks for the explanations.
We are looking for answers in light of the above points on Versions in ECC versus APO
If no further inputs are available, we award points to Senthil & Harsh

Unable to Open Bex report from SAP APO User Menu

Hi All,
I am an SAP APO consultant, and have not miuch expereice in BEx reporting. As APO uses Build in BI for reporting and pulling history from either external BW or R/3.
Now my issue all BEx reports we use are assigned ot my user menu and when I select a report, I would expect report to open but an excel sheet opens and closes and nothing happens. However I am able to open this reports from my desktop menu selecting Business explorer and Analyzer and linking my SAP system. I use Excel 2007 , Is this some compactibilty issue or is there anything I need to do?

Hi KV,
There's a couple of possible root cause why you dont see properly the Bex Report.
Can you share to me the APO version and the BW software component being used?
In case this is still in the 3.x, 4.x APO, I think, a separate BW add on is needed for you to run your BEx report properly. You can ask your basis team for this separate installation.
Btw, is this report working before, meaning was it pulled successfully already in the past?
Can you try doing this again in a separate workstation, as the BW add on is installed separately per workstation.
Its possible that this is also an auth issue that the user you are using is not capable enough to run BEx.
As of now, I have not encountered any Bex issue that is related with the Excel version, I have tried running Bex in Excel 2007 no issue also. I think it maybe more related with the OS you are using, if its in Vista already what I know is you need to add your excel as a trusted document before you can run bex fro Vista.
Let me think of other possibilities.
Hope this helps.

Dangerous APO and BI Transaction codes

Hi experts,
I have question Dangerous APO and Transaction codes
Background :
We are in the process of implementing SOX controls for the new APO and BI Systems
Questions :
What are the Dangerous APO Transaction codes which should not be assigned to any one in Production system
What are the Dangerous BI Transaction codes which should not be assigned to any one in Production system
Additional Notes
System which we are having
APO
Version : SCM 5.0
BI
Version : BI 7.0

Praveen,
I am a puzzled that you would ask such a question.
Authorizations ALWAYS derive from requirements. In this case, Sarbanes-Oxley speaks of control mechanisms. Your SOX auditors should tell you what they consider to be critical, and they should advise the client company as to which transactions should be controlled, and how best to control them.
There is no transaction that should be disallowed to everyone. That would eventually make the system unusable. The question is, "how many people should have these critical transactions, and how should the execution of these transactions be monitored and controlled".
Generally, the APO portion of SCM should require less SOX controls than ERP, since APO is mostly a planning system, and not an execution system (there are some exceptions here though). Likewise, the BI portion of SCM usually contains no financial reports, and therefore should have relaxed controls over, say, the main BI instance used by your company.
Don't make the mistake of strangling yourself to satisfy your perception of what you think an auditor may require. Make them tell you the minimum requirements for compliance. Anything beyond minimum compliance with SOX is costly. This question is then a matter of your company's policies. I usually vote for 'no additional restrictions' (but my poor vote doesn't usually count for much).

Background jobs deleted when planning version is deleted

Hi everyone,
We are implementing SAP APO version 4.1. We have the following problem. We have a simulation version used from time to time. When it is not used, it is deleted for performance reasons. However, when we delete planning version, background demand planning jobs (SNP jobs as well) are deleted although we do not want this to happen. Is there any suggestion to overcome this problem?
Thanks in advance. Regards,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
As mentioned by R. Senthil Mareeswaran. it is (unfortunately) standard.
The easiest solution in my opinion is to never delete completely a version.
However you can, to reduce the space consume by the version, "reinitialise" it: instead of deleting it, copy back the active version on your simulaiton version but FOR MASTER DATA ONLY.
This way all transactional data are deleted, which save a lot of space.
I think this will also automatically deinitialise the planning area... If not do that to!
Good new: if you do that yur jobs will not be deleted.
Next time you want to use the version, do again a copy, with transactional data!
Ps: your job can be transported from on system to another, so hopfully you haven't lost them all: just transport / reimport the request
good luck
Thanks and Regards

Upgrade of APO - Dependancies??

Dear all,
We are currently using APO version 3.10, BW version 3.10 and R/3 version 4.6c. We are looking to upgrade all, but were considering APO and BW first. If we were to upgrade to SCM5.0 and SAP NetWeaver 7.1 are there any technical/application implications if we do not upgrade R/3 at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hello Melanie -
Look at the following Link it will give you an idea into what are the technical implications

Licecache table missing Table MATRIXINDE does not exist in the database wit

Hello,
We recently done a system copy of our APO system, everything went well. in case of Livecache there are 2 problem
1) when we do the integration for LCA/LDA/LCA while we mentione the Livecache server it is not taking the host name , it is only picking the IP address of the livecache server. If we tried host name, it times out.
2) once we give the IP address as livecache server we can start the live cache server. Bure there is only two tables in it
when we run
transaction Livecache Check (/SAPAPO/OM03) we get the erro i.e.Table MATRIXINDE does not exist in the database with ID LCA
runtime error DBIF_RSQL_TABLE_UNKNOWN
When we look into the tables there are only 2 tables in it
AAPSYSNAME
LCA_WARNINGS
when I compare with other system...it is missing a lots of other tables..
We did re-initialized the livecache.
Appreciate your help in this

Hello Sudhir,
1) Did you create the SAP ticket where this issue is reported?
2) It's good to know more details about the APO version, liveCache/LCA versions on your
    source & target systems.
    What note or document did you follow to do a system copy of our APO system?
3) Please pay attention to the recommendations in the SAP notes:::

How can I Use a Stored Procedure from Microsoft SQL Server?

Hi All,
Would like to use stored procedure as my data service in Visual Composer.
Our version is VC7.0 SP20.
Is stored procedure feasible? What is the system that i need to create in Enterprise Portal? Currently i have BI JDBC System which only allows me to search for tables from SQL Server.
Much appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarah

Hi Skif,
Referring to my post: JDBC System Connection VS BI JDBC System Connection
I do not even able to view list of stored procedure. I need help too..maybe you can show me how do you set the connection? What are the mandatory connection properties? I have filled up:
- Connection URL
- Driver class name
- User Administration: User, Admin (I did user mapping too)
The error message that i got is:
com.sap.guimachine.portalconnector.commandhandler.CommandException: Failed to connect to backend system. Check your system definition and user privileges.#
I had assigned full control to the DB user, and map my portal user to that DB user.
Many Thanks,
Sarah

Formula Variable Customer Exit

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to read the one formula variable value ( Replacement path with attribute value ) into customer exit of another characteristic variable .
For example :
I have one characteristic formula variable called VAR1 ( which gives the value ) .This value I want to use it in customer exit of another varable VAR2 ( is it possible to use one formula variable value into another variable ) which I want to use it in Customer exit.
VAR1 - Formula Variable
VAR2 - Simple Variable with out User Input.
Example is as below :
Formula Variable ( VAR1 i.e PLND_DLVRY ) based on this value I want to define another variable APO Version in the Customer
If it is possible please guide me what is the process. Also I want to make sure which I_STEP I need to use...
Please guide the best solution.
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.

Hi Krishnan / Arvind,
Sorry I was thinking 0PLND_DELRY is nav attribute for 0MAT_PLANT. But 0PLND_DELRY is the quantity field so I can't make this field as a nav attribute. Right now I am populating directly in the Cube using master data. my cube data looks like
Fields Description
F1 = Version
F2= Material
F3= Plant
F4= 0PLND_DELRY
F5= Calendar Yr/Month
F6= Concensus Forecast ( Key Figure )
Condition is Combination of Material and Plant will define 0PLND_DELRY ( Delivery Time )
F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 |F5 | F6
201104 | M001 |200 | 30 | 2011/07 | 5100
201104 | M002 |200 | 60 | 2011/07 | 6200
201104 | M001 |300 | 90 | 2011/07 | 4900
201104 | M001 |200 | 30 | 2011/07 | 7900
201105 | M001 |200 | 30 | 2011/07 | 5700
201105 | M002 |200 | 60 | 2011/07 | 6900
201105 | M001 |300 | 90 | 2011/07 | 4300
201105 | M001 |200 | 30 | 2011/07 | 7400

201107 | M001 |200 | 30 | 2011/07 | 8000
In Order to bring the variance for F6 for Material M001 and Plant 200 then my result is
Calendar Yr / Mnth = 2011/07
Current Value = 5000
Lead Time = 30, offset = -1
Version = 201107-1 = 201106 Then
Prior Value = 5500
Variance = 5000-5500 = -500
for Material M002 and Plant 200 then my result is
Calendar Yr / Mnth = 2011/07
Current Value = 6500
Lead Time = 60, offset = -2
Version = 201107-2 = 201105 Then
Prior Value = 6900
Variance = 65000-6900 = -200
for Material M001 and Plant 300 then my result is
Calendar Yr / Mnth = 2011/07
Current Value = 4000
Lead Time = 90, offset = -3
Version = 201107-3 = 201104 Then
Prior Value = 4500
Variance = 4000-4900 = -900
for Material M001 and Plant 200 then my result is
Calendar Yr / Mnth = 2011/07
Current Value = 4000
Lead Time = 30, offset = -1
Version = 201107-1 = 201106 Then
Prior Value = 4500
Variance = 8000-7500 = -500
Every month we get same data with different version and different numbers for all months. Please advise me what is the best solution we can do
Thanks

View db alerts generated in planning book A from within planning book B?

Hi,
I have a db alert macro implemented as a default macro in one of our SNP planning books/data view. This is correctly generating db alerts per the criteria coded into the macro. In Alert Monitor, the database alerts show the planning book (book A) and data view (view 1) from which the alerts were generated.
The planners monitoring this specific alert do not have/should not have access to planning book A and data view 1, but will have access to a different planning book (B)/data view (2) within the same planning area.
Is it possible to generate a db alert from a default macro residing in planning book A, data view 1 but have the db alert as viewed in Alert Monitor display a different planning book (B), data view (2) so that when the user launches Supply Network Planning by right clicking on the db alert, the user is taken to planning book B, data view 2 with the alert selection loaded?
In short, I need to generate db alerts via a default macro in one planning book/data view but must enable planners who monitor these alerts to do so in a different planning book, data view -- all within the same planning area.
I saw an earlier thread (id 4517019) that seemed to indicate this was possible to assign db alerts generated in one planning book to another planning book, but it was not clear how to implement this. We are on APO version 4.0. In the macro's Alert/status element properties I do see a section called 'Different Source' which allows me to specify a different planning book and macro. However, I do not understand how this is meant to be used and whether this will be useful to me.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!
- Heidi

Saradha,
Thank you for your reply! I checked the various versions of SAP help and found that only as of Release SCM 4.1 can you assign the alerts that are generated in a planning book/ data view to another planning book/data view via the mechanism you explained. That tells me that perhaps in SCM 4.0 there is no straightforward way of doing this.
In 4.0, when I double click the macro alert element I see different attributes - one of them is in a section titled 'Different Source' and contains to fields - one that allows you to specify a planning book and the other to specify a macro in that planning book. I'm experimenting with that now to better understand what it's purpose is. If you have any idea, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks very much for your response!
Thanks,
- Heidi
