Client concept for SAP SCM APO and SAP TM

Hello,
We are installing SAP SCM APO 5.1 (SNP, gATP, DP) and SAP TM 7.0 (ramp up). Both connect via CIF  to ECC 6.0 SP3. As far as my knowledge goes for CIF, both master data and transactional data is exchanged via CIF.
In ECC we have a three client concept:
100 customizing only
200 customizing + master data (golden client)
300 customizing + master data + transaction data
Can we use a similar model for TM and SCM APO as well? Should we then only connect ECC-300 to TM-300 and ECC300 to SCM-300 via CIF?
I have also heard that also some ECC customizing is transferred via CIF to SCM/TM. Is that true and does that change this model?

Rob,
As a general rule of thumb, for each ECC client you will probably want an SCM client.  From your landscape description, it is not clear to me in which clients you perform the everyday functions of development/test/production, but I guess you have already worked that out.  Without knowing exactly how you manage your environment, I will say that it is probably a good idea to have active CIF connections between each of the three pairs of clients.  Once you have set up a single connection between your first pair (ECC/SCM), you will find that setting up the second and third is pretty trivial. 
Yes, quite a bit of ATP configuration can be CIFd across.  Typically, you do this one time, and then lock the transfer of config out (there is a config setting in SCM to stop further transfer of config).  From that point forward, any config that must be parallelled in both systems is usually done manually in both systems.  Notable exceptions are Factory Calendars, units of measure, and Fiscal Periods, which can be pulled across from ECC to SCM any time you want via standard program.

    Hi Ashutosh,
    you can find all informations about the implementation (installation /upgrade) of SCM on the SAP help portal.
    In http://help.sap.com choose in "SAP Business Suite" the "SAP Supply Chain Management".
    In Knowledge Center for SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) choose the required SCM release e.g. SAP SCM 5.0  and open it.
    Here under "Installation, Upgrade, Master and Operation Guides" you can find all necessary information about the installation, technical upgrade and operation of SAP SCM.
    The Master Guide for SAP SCM provides important information about the installation of the relevant scenarios and the components. It links to all other documents that are required for the implementation of a specific scenario, for example to the Upgrade Master Guide, which is the important overview guide for upgrading scenarios . 
    I hope I could help you with these informations.

  • . What is the client concept in SAP? What is the meaning of client independ

    hi,
    send me replay

    Hi ,
    since u r maintaining different clients in da same server ,
    so ,
    tables needs to have diff data for diff client.....
    now if u dont make tables client dependent then , same table data will be used by all clients ...
    But all clients have their own diff data ,
    So making a table client depedent , u r using same database table, to store data of different clients.
    for more information:
    A client is a logical division of data within an SAP system. Some things, like application data are mostly client-dependent, meaning that for example, a G/L account defined in client 123 of system ABC is only visible in that client. Therefore if you logon to client 456 of system ABC you will not be seeing the same database entity (if it is defined at all).
    At a technical level, client dependent data simply resides in database tables that have the client number as a key field (typically the first key field).
    Multiple clients within an SAP system are often used in development, testing and training systems - so that individuals can work in the same system (on the same codeset) but in isolation of each other.
    Very rarely will a production system have multiples clients (ignoring the internal SAP clients like 000 and 066).

  • Unable to install client integration for SAP XI 3.1

    Hello experts.
    I'm trying to install the client integration kit for SAP XI 3.1, but get an error message saying:
    "Unable to perform Client installation. The installation is unable to proceed with a client installation because neither Crystal reports 2008 nor Universe designer were detected".
    This is not true, as I do have the Designer up and running - and in v3.1.
    The server installation was without problems.
    Anyone knows how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards, Ingeborg

    Hi,
    so the BO Edge client tools would only install the Universe Designer. So there is no Crystal Reports so far on the client machine ?
    Did you also install the SAP Frontend with BW 3.5 and BI 7 Add Ons ?
    Are these brand new installations for Service pack 1 of the XI 3.1 release ?

  • SCM, APO and EWM

    Hi Experts,
    My apology if I'm posting this on the wrong category.
    I'd like to ask for SAP SCM (APO, EWM etc) if its a separate installation like with SAP ECC or it can be added as one of the components for SAP ECC?
    Cheers,
    R-jay

    Hi R-Jay,
    SAP SCM Applications are separate installations like SAP ECC or SAP CRM  software applications .
    Within SAP SCM also there are separate licensing requirements for APO, EWM, EM, SNC applications.
    For SAP EWM and EM, SAP ECC add on option is available,  however,  the licenses for  EWM, EM will be seperate than thoseof ECC.

    Hi Farooqui
    Since this Forum handling more application related topic, it is better to post your question in different Forum "MaxDB/liveCache ".
    Above MaxDB/liveCache is handling more basis and liveCache related topic.
    As a general information, SAP provides following documens that describe task and check point related to SCM system and liveCache. So I recommend you to check following 3 documents.
    URL : http://service.sap.com/solutionmanagerbp
    Number
    44            System Monitoring for SAP APO (3.x) / mySAP SCM (4.x/5.0)
    34            Monitoring and Administration for SCM / APO
    42            Checklist for Recovery of SAP APO liveCache >= 7.4
    Also there are some documents that describe liveCache behavior, so for better understanding,
    I also recommend you to check following 2 documents. (The information is bit old. but it might be helpful to understand liveCache).

  • Client strategy for SAP Discovery system

    Hello,
    We have installed SAP Discovery system and would prefer to create custom clients copied from the standard clients for use by the users. Please let me know if there are any restrictions or possible problems creating custom clients in SAP Discovery system.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    There are no restrictions for creating custom clients on the Discovery System box.
    It is highly recommended to backup your current server before customizing the box so you can return to the original state if needed.

    hi,
    ? First log on to SAP R/3 server connections Go to SCC4 in R/3 & in Scc4 BW server. A screen opens in that logical name of the system would be opened in both (R/3 & BW).
    ? Take notepad in it save .R/3 & BW logical names go to R/3 & click SM59 to create R/3 connections click then a screen opens gives BW logical name in RFC Destination option & give connection. type 3 & give some description & then press enter.
    ? You will get another screen under it then at target host gives BW server name we will get it from BW logon change ID, IP address option & give the system no. The system no go to logon pad just drag it then you will see the name.
    ? Then click on log on securities go to log on give BW server details like No, client user Password. Then save it then click test connection tab if there are errors then it gives yellow color if they are no error the whole thing come as white.
    ? Then click on the Remote Logon then we go to BW server give RFC – SM59 & click create. Then give the server name which is at the bottom right corner give it then give the no, name, password in logon Security save it & test connection & then remote logon.
    ? R/3 - B W - R/3
    ? Logical connection source system connection is used to transfer the data from R/3 to BW. Go to BW system& click RSA1 go to source system option go to top to the source systems right click on it. Then click create then a screens opens then.
    ? PC ?Flat file , DB ? Database
    ? Select the option manual then a screen appears RFC Destination, Logical source name then click OK then it goes to opens other screen save it test connection then remote login then it go back to the then a screen opens then click only activate.

  • Connection steps for SAP BW and R/3

    Hi Every Body,
    Can you please explain me detail about the connectivity between R/3 and BW.
    General steps which am aware is as follws;-
    SAP R/3 steps to be performed
    1.     Define Logical system---->(e.g ABC100)
    2.     Assign client to logical system -->(100)
    3.     Define RFC Destination.(Here I assume I have to give Destination user name and password should be the user which have SAP_ALL authorization) Am I right.
    SAP BW Steps:-
    4.     Define Logical system---->(e.g ABC100)
    5.     Assign client to logical system -->(100)
    6.     Define RFC Destination.(Here I assume I have to give Destination user name and password should be the user which have SAP_ALL authorization) Am I right.
    Then in BW Environment in RSA1->Source Systems->right click and choose Create
    There are two options available for R/3 system one is Manual and one is Automatic.
    For Manual  creation we give RFC Destination should be BW system and Logical system should be R/3 and Source system name is xyz.
    Is there any other steps am missing.What about the inbound and outbound Idoc Parameters.
    I feel this will help while transferring data to BW.am I right.
    Please clearly explain the steps for R/3 and BW connectivity.
    Regards,
    VJ

    Hi,
    <i>For Manual creation we give RFC Destination should be BW system and Logical system should be R/3 and Source system name is xyz.</i>
    RFC Destination should be R/3 system. NOT BW system.
    <i>should i make connection with only R/3 200(Data Client) to BW</i>
    Yes you have to connect to 200 only. Not to 100.Other wise you will not get data from R/3 to BW.
    <i>What is the Use of Transport Button in RSA6.Post Processing data sources.</i>
    It will be used to create Trasnport requests on DS .
    <i>Suppose if i activate data source from Customizing client(100)and click on Transport button in RSA6 if there is connection with this client to BW. What is the Impact.</i>
    It will not give any impact on BW. Actually it ask you to create a Transport requset by Prompting the message box. After click on create button and entering the description, it will create a transport request.
    <i>Clearly explain me in detail what happen when i choose Transport Button in RSA6 for BC data sources.</i>
    It is must and should process. Because you will not activate(using of RSA5) the DS in quality R/3 system. So to use this DS in QA system, you will import the Transport request creatd in DEV r/3.
    In your case, you will use client 100 for activating the DS and creating Transport reuests. And then these DS are automatically available in client 200, because DS are Client independent.

  • Desinger fom SCM (APO) infocube.

    Hi all,
    I'm using BOBJ Enterprise 3.1 and Integration kit 3.1.
    I tried to extract data from info cube from SAP SCM (APO) and i can't see any data.
    Anybody knows if BOBJ can extract from SCM infocube or only from SAP BW? Or maybe an documentation with explanation about how to do this loads...
    Thansks in advice,
    Ralph

    Hi Sai,
    When you are creating CVCs from infocube, please make sure that the input  values in the selection screen of the transaction for creating CVCs are correct:
    1. Version in the selection screen is existing in infocube. This is the version in the infocube and not in the DP PA.
    2. Secondly, date from and to fields need to be correct  and matching with the same in the infocube
    3. Check if clicking  "Number of Hits' on the selection screen ,  gives you the no. of CVCs which would get created.
       Only if you see here number, then program will create CVCs in the DP PA.
    Please check and confirm.

  • 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).

  • Interfaces R3 - SCM APO with qrfc

    Hi,
    We have some interfaces from  R3 to  SCM APO system  which actually runs with tRFC.
    We want to change it to a qRFC scenario.
    I've configured queues and systems as documentation
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm41/helpdata/en/13/747b3704716066e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
    But nothing has change in our interfaces.
    Queues are not used.
    I have no experience in SCM APO and i don't what is wrong or what step is missing.
    Could you help me?
    Thanks in advance.
    S.

    Sara,
    Keep reading that help doc, into the subsequent sections.  You have to generate and activate Integration models, which will specify exactly why type of data will be exchanged, and which individual records.  Start with transaction CFM1.
    If any of your master data changes, then you generally need to re-generate and re-activate your IMs each time.  Many people commit these to periodic jobs.
