Data fetch from live cache

How can I retrieve data from live cache?This is in Demand Planning : SCM APO.
Please suggest ways.
Thanks & Regards,
Savitha

Hi,
some time ago I worked on SAP APO.
To read live cache, you first have to open a SIM session.
You can do this as shown in this function module:
FUNCTION ZS_SIMSESSION_GET.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(IV_SIMID) TYPE /SAPAPO/VRSIOID
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(EV_SIMSESSION) TYPE /SAPAPO/OM_SIMSESSION
CONSTANTS:
lc_simsession_new       TYPE c LENGTH 1 VALUE 'N'.
DATA:
lt_rc                   TYPE /sapapo/om_lc_rc_tab,
lv_simsession           LIKE ev_simsession.
IF NOT ev_simsession IS INITIAL.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
*--> create Simsession
CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CREATE'
    IMPORTING
      ev_guid_22 = lv_simsession.
*--> create transactional simulation
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TSIM_SIMULATION_CONTRL'
    EXPORTING
      iv_simversion            = iv_simid
      iv_simsession            = lv_simsession
      iv_simsession_method     = lc_simsession_new
      iv_perform_commit        = space
    IMPORTING
      et_rc                    = lt_rc
    EXCEPTIONS
      lc_connect_failed        = 1
      lc_com_error             = 2
      lc_appl_error            = 3
      multi_tasim_registration = 4.
IF sy-subrc > 0.
    CLEAR ev_simsession.
*   error can be found in lt_rc
ENDIF.
* return simsession
ev_simsession = lv_simsession.
ENDFUNCTION.
Then you can access the live cache.
In this case we read an order (if I rememver correctly, it's a plan order):
DATA:
lv_vrsioid                  TYPE /sapapo/vrsioid,
lv_simsession           TYPE /sapapo/om_simsession.
* Get vrsioid
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/DM_VRSIOEX_GET_VRSIOID'
    EXPORTING
      i_vrsioex_fld = '000' "By default
    IMPORTING
      e_vrsioid_fld = lv_vrsioid
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found     = 1
      OTHERS        = 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZS_SIMSESSION_GET'
      EXPORTING
        iv_simid      = iv_vrsioid
      IMPORTING
        ev_simsession = lv_simsession.
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/RRP_LC_ORDER_GET_DATA'
    EXPORTING
      iv_order      = iv_orderid
      iv_simversion = iv_vrsioid
    IMPORTING
      et_outputs    = lt_outputs
      et_inputs     = lt_inputs.
If you change something in your simsession, you have to merge it back afterwards, so that your changes become effective.
You can do this like that:
* Merge simulation version (to commit order changes)
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TSIM_SIMULATION_CONTRL'
    EXPORTING
      iv_simversion                = lv_vrsioid
      iv_simsession                = lv_simsession
      iv_simsession_method         = 'M'
    EXCEPTIONS
      lc_connect_failed            = 1
      lc_com_error                 = 2
      lc_appl_error                = 3
      multi_tasim_registration     = 4
      target_deleted_saveas_failed = 5
      OTHERS                       = 6.
I hope this helps...

Data movement from R/3 DB to APO DB and to Live cache

Dear APO Experts,
I have few questions on live cache and how it works, I understand that Live cache is memory resident database. below are my questions.
1) What sought of data move from R/3 DB to APO DB and then to Live cache DB
2) When data moves from APO DB to Live cache, till how much duration that data stays in live cache
3) And how does data gets pulled in to live cache from APO DB
4) Why do we require live cache logs while data never gets commited to hard disk
5) Do we ever add a datafile to Live cache DB
any info that you provide on this will be really helpfull to me
Thanks,
Chetan

Hello Chetan,
As you know, itu2019s MAXDB/liveCache forum.
What is the version of your system?
The is documentation available at:
   SAP liveCache technology
< Please review document u201CWhat is SAP liveCache technology?u201D >
Sap documents at service.sap.com/scm -> Technology:
u201CliveCache overviewu201D and u201CIntegration overviewu201D
For SAP liveCache documentation also see the SAP note 767598.
Go to SAP link Best Practices for Solution Management: mySAP SCM at   SAP liveCache technology ...
And Review the document u201CManage APO Core Interface in SAP APO (3.x) / mySAP SCM (4.x/ 5.0)u201D
1. As you saw in the reference documents the data transferred from the connected R/3 system to APO.
And the transactional data could be uploaded to the liveCache, if you downloaded them
to the APO database cluster tables first. This procedure steps are running during the
system upgrade < for example, from SCM 5.0 to SCM 7.0 ) u2013 report /SAPAPO/OM_LC_UPGRADE_70 steps. Or you want to migrate the
liveCache to another operating system or convert your system to Unicode,
and therefore you want to back up the liveCache data first so that you
can reload it into the liveCache afterwards - SAP Note No. 632357.
2. Could you collaborate more on this sentence. Could you give examples?
3. u201CAnd how does data gets pulled in to live cache from APO DBu201D
    The data are not pulled from the APO DB to liveCache.
     When you changed the APO data on the system the LCA procedures have been called from ABAP. The objects stored in the class containers in liveCache can be accessed and manipulated only via LCA routines. The registration of the LCA routines is done automatically when the liveCache is started by the LC10. The LCA procedures in the LiveCache are written in C++
and shipped to the customers as binary LCA libraries(LCA build) together with the LiveCache.
< See more details in SAP Note No. 824489 or 1278897 as of SCM 7.0 >
4. See the SAP notes:
               869267     FAQ: SAP MaxDB LOG area
             1377148     FAQ: SAP MaxDB backup/recovery
5. You could run the quicksizer & estimate how much data you are planning to have in liveCache.
     Also the amount of data could be increased by the creation of the new data in APO by users
     Or another reason u2026
     In general you will add the datavolume to solve or prevent the DB_FULL issue,
     See u201C17. What do I do if the data area is full? u201C in SAP note 846890.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Error on starting Live Cache

HI there,
why don't you take a closer look to what is in the message?
> Internal errorcode, Error code 9050 "disk_not_accessible"
> 20017,RestartFilesystem failed with 'I/O error'
> ERROR : Restart not possible (please check KnlMsg)
There is a problem with the liveCache disks.
This problem prevents that the liveCache can be started.
For more information you should look into the KNLMSG file.
Why don't you just do that?
The file will tell you what file is the problem and what kind of problem there is with the file.

Live Cache error with message number /SAPAPO/OM028

Hi Experts,
When I run RLCDEL program for deletion of obsolete SNP orders in the back ground , system shows livecache error alert with message number /SAPAPO/OM028 in the deletion job log. The details of message is "invalid order" or ABAP programming error. Live cache consistency checks are not resolving issue. Product release is 5.1 with SP08. Please suggest a resolution
Regards,
Raghav

Hi Raghav,
The sap notes 642503 & 973244 will fix your issue but they are for
versions 4.0 and 5.0 respectively.
You can write to SAP by creating a OSS message to update these
two message for version 5.1
This will resolve your issue
Please confirm

BW reporting from APO live cache

It has been 4 years since I have worked on a BW/APO project. Back then, I know that in APO you could backup live cache and then use the backup as the datasource for reporting in BW. Is this still the same or can you go directly against live cache now.
Thanks,
Dean

Hi Somnath,
Can you pl. give me the reference where running reports from internal APO-BW directly is recommended by SAP?
We have a similar situation with our client. It is possible to do reporting from APO cubes directly, but we are not sure since I found this in once of the SAP presentations
SAP recommends for customer to prepare separate systems for APO and BW.
Reasons
The APO system will be tuned for optimal APO functionality performance such as calculating forecasts in demand planning or deriving ATP values
The BW system will be tuned for optimal query performance in order to return results in a timely fashion.

Hi having a problem upgrading SCM 4.1 APO Live Cache

Hi I am new to SCM and I came into a project that was already started, I am doing a SUM upgrade and its at the upgrade of Live Cache I need to run the report /SAPAPO/OM_LC_UPGRADE_70 and perform all steps in section A. when I try to run the report it comes back "No shared library for the database with ID LCA" I checked LC10 and saw in the Settings that the database is still pointing back to the source system it was copied from. Like I said I walked into this in the middle the they are upgrading from SCM 4.1 to 7.0EHP3 on SQL 2012 and Windows 2012 so they built the 2012 Vm installed the Central services and when they installed the DB it was an attach / detach method and I installed the DB instance. Question should any of the file directories have come with the attach db there are no sapdb in the directories do I just install the live cache and that installs the maxdb and makes the directories /sapdb/ because I see them in the source system? I tried installing the live cache that came with the original system but it had errors.

Log Queue Overflows in SCM+Live Cache system

Ok, so what is the problem with that?
You use the liveCache quite heavily (e.g. make lots of commits/changes) and the storage where you put your log-volume to is not quick enough to save the data.
Either you fix the storage speed or you accept that your users might have to wait a bit longer for their application to save the data.
User Basis wrote:
> I think it is occurring because we are managing the Log with "Log automatic overwrite". This configuration is being used because we don´t have a lot of disk space to manage it as well.
> Al jey.
These two things have no connection.
A log queue overflow simply means, that sessions have to wait until the log queue is saved to disk before they can put new entries to the log queue.
The log mode overwrite means: you don't care about data security and the ability to recover the liveCache from a backup.
It's a setting used for throw-away database instances where it doesn't matter to loose data.
It means that the database simply overwrites log entries that have not been backed up, when the log area gets filled.

Is there a way to convert outlined text back into live text?

I have an Illustrator CS3 doc in which all text has been converted to outlines. (I wish I had an intelligent answer to the question of why I don't have the original doc with live text, but...) I remember seeing a post some time ago that explained how to change the outlines back into live text, which may have involved making a pdf or something, but I can't find that post anywhere in the Adobe forums. Does anyone know how to do this, if it can even be done? Thanks!

I had to test it. Yes, you can use Acrobat Pro to OCR the text. First you'll need to rasterize the outlined text in AI (at 300dpi bitmap) and save as PDF. Then open in Acrobat and go to "Documents>OCR Text Recognition" to convert the image to text. Click "Edit" in the "Recognize Text dialog window and select "Formatted Text & Graphics" to view only the text in Acrobat. Save and re-open in AI. The text will be editable, but broken into individual words. You can cut multiple words to the clipboard then click with the text tool and paste, to merge the text into a contiguous sentence, but you'll lose the spaces. Exporting as text from Acrobat may be a better route.
