Handle log from SNP optimizer (program /SAPAPO/RMDPLOPT)

Hi gurus,
I need to run program /SAPAPO/RMDPLOPT in background (easy part) but the log should be available through sm37 or in spool. I'm using FM OPEN_JOB + SUBMIT program VIA JOB + CLOSE_JOB but log isn't saved.
( I also tried with TO SAP-SPOOL, with EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY + printing the list retrived)
This program is using FG /SAPAPO/MSDP_LOG to manage the log. And before displaying it, program checks if sy-batch is initial --> that's why I dont have it on sm37
I also checked that program /SAPAPO/RMDPLOPT has the following parameter in selection screen:
4.1 DP_SNP_001: ProcessID for JobScheduling
PARAMETERS p_procid TYPE rspc_instance NO-DISPLAY.
It uses p_procid with FM /SAPAPO/MSDP_LOG_CREATE to create the log. After execution program call FM /SAPAPO/MSDP_LOG_SAVE, so I think log is saved in DB. My problem is that I dont know how to retrieve it.
Could any of you give me any clue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kumar,
Please find my below comments on your points.
1) /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_PLOB_DELTA_SYNC : This report is used to adjust the time-series objects.In the name of this report TS stands for Time Series, LCM stands for Management of Live-Cache/ LiveCache Management,PLOB stands for Planning Objects and SYNC stand for Synchronization.
2) /SAPAPO/RMSDPDEP : In this R stands for Report which is an executable program,,M stand for Material Management Application Area, SDP stands for Supply & Demand Planner
which is nothing but package under which this report is developed, DEP stands for Deployment
3) /SAPAPO/RMDPLOPT: R stands for Report which is an executable program, M for Material Management which is an application area, DPL stands for Deployment and OPT stands for Optimizer.
4) /SAPAPO/RSNPDRP1: R stands for Report which is an executable program,SNP stands for Supply network Planning, DRP stands for Demand Requirement Planning and for 1 I am also not sure why they added 1 behind this.
I hope now at least for few of the above points, you are clear with naming conventions of standard reports in APO.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Error:conversion of PPDS order from SNP order-error /sapapo/rrp_heur45

Hi,
I am converting a snp planned order from ppds order in transaction /sapapo/rrp_sap2ppds and using heuristic sap_pp_002.But it is canceling the heuristic and giving above error message.I have given 60days ppds horizon and 61days snp horizon.lot size:lot-for-lot.Please suggest what to do?
Thanks&regards
venkadesh

Hello ,
The hueristics sap_pp_002 you are using is based on algorithm "planning of std. lots".
For converting Supply Network Planning (SNP) orders or Capable-to-Match(CTM) orders into Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) orders, try to use a heuristic based on the algorithm /SAPAPO/HEU_SNP_CONVERT, such as the standard heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL..
I think the above mentioned hueristics should be able to solve the problem .
Also for more information refer to below link.

Logs from OLAP DML Programs

Is there any way to get a continuous stream of logs when an OLAP DML program is running ( eg. A Loop ). I am on 9.2.0.5 currently. The logs are being dumped only after the program has finished execution but not when it is running. Can this behavior be changed ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Swapan.

This can be done very easliy. Here is what I did.
1. Create a table called OLAP_LOG - with columns OLAP_DATE, OLAP_MESSAGE, OLAP_PROGRAM. Note that this is along the same lines as olapsys.XML_LOAD_LOG table.
2. In OLAP create a function (lets call is OLAP_LOG_MSG) which will take two arguments which are text values (one for a message, second one for program name).
3. Within OLAP_LOG_MSG olap program you will do an INSERT statement into OLAP_LOG table. In the OLAP_DATE column you can put in SYSDATE, the next two columns will be populated by the two arguments.
4. In all your olap programs, wherever you are doing a SHOW statement at the same place also do a call to OLAP_LOG_MSG with the arguments. I put it in all my olap programs, including the error section.
It has worked out very very very well....
Enjoy!!!

While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center).

Hi Thanks for your response....
lets assume there are 2 buttons, first button to submit concurrent program and second button to view concurrent program output/log.
Actually im able to submit concurrent program from oracle custom form(6i) in ebusiness(11.5.0.2) i.e first button (WHEN-BUTTON_PRESSED buitin).
Rather user navigating to VIEW-> REQUEST, i would like to give option to user to view concurrent program output/log when user clicks on second button (WHEN-BUTTON_PRESSED buitin)

How to determine runtime of SNP optimizer

Hi Experts,
I am new to SNP optimizer, i would like to know the factors that determine the runtime of SNP optimizer,
for example if i have 100 product-loc combination, what should be my runtime?
Thanks in Advance
Raja kiran R

Hello Raja
Following details are based on my recent experience/learning's while working Optimizer runtime(it was a nightmare)
SNP Optimizer varies regardless of number of location products or demands.
SNP Optimizer runtime is split into following 3 main steps -
Runtime 1. Reading input data
Runtime 2. Solution Calculation and
Runtime 3. Order Creation.
Runtime 2 is usually varies depends on degree of problem complexity and number of iteration optimizer has to go through before finding cost effective/optimal solution.
Analyzing the optimizer logs/trace file and collect various statistics/facts for couple of weeks can give you some idea on optimizer runtimes. Use below Tcodes - /SAPAPO/OPT11 and /SAPAPO/SNPOPLOG for collection such statistics on following criteria's -
Please keep a watch on inputs like - Number of products, locations, location products, transportation lanes and demands.
and Output like Total Fulfilled Demands, Total Un-Filled Demands and Total number of stock transfers.
and Result Indicators like how many ProdDeco iteration, Solution Quality/ Cost iterations and what is the Service Level achieved.
Besides, you can control the Optimizer runtime by setting up the Maximum Runtime(in Minutes) in Optimizer profile. Also use Parallel profile process for improving the performance of the optimizer run.
Also ask you basis team to watch system performance when it is reading data from livecache, solving the problem or creating orders in livecache, if there are any memory issue etc.
Hope this will help.
Thank you

SNP Optimizer dropping the demand

Hi,
While planning using SNP Optimizer against a given demand in a constraint scenario, the optimizer is dropping significant demand.
Capacity of the production factory is not constraint. But somehow a lot of demand is not propagated to the factory. In fact, out of the 3 factories where one product can be produced, one factory did not get any plan at all !!!
Can you please help me understand the other possible reasons why this can happen? The master data - Lanes and production master data at the factory is maintained correctly.
Regards,
Ankur

For a demand to be considered in the optimizer Run following are the checks to be done:
1. Lane should be defined from a location where the demand is to a valid source. (lane can be at location level for all product or lane can be product specific)
2. Cost definitions: If the production + transportation cost for the product at source is greater than the Demand loss cost at dest loc there wil be a demand loss. Please update the Demand Loss cost in /SAPAPO/MAT1:- SNP1 tab. Total demand loss cost after planning is avaialble in IT_NONDELV table in Optimizer Log
3. Capacity avaialble for planning. resources to be properly defined and capacity availability to be checked (IT_RESOURCE) will give the details wether the reource is avaialble
4. If a PPM is used with output componenet demand uinmet we need to check whether the input product is produced (capacity to be checked for input Product production to happen)
these are few basic checks for Demand Unmet

Error while running background deployment, program /SAPAPO/RMSDPDEP

Hi all,
For the second time in 3 months, I encounter this strange error while running a daily background deployment job, using program /SAPAPO/RMSDPDEP.
The job starts correctly and does a part of its job, but then interrupt with this message in the job log :
--> "no valid simulation guid" (class SAPAPO/OM_TS, n° 101)
--> "Unknown error" (class SAPAPO/OM, n° 100)
--> "Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE" (class 00, n° 564)
I just can't find any clue about what causes the problem...
Did anyone encounter that kind of difficulties before ? Any help would be usefull...
Thanks !
Fabrice

Hi Siva,
In this range of time, I effectively run 13 parallel deployment jobs, as follow :
n° 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 : same location (factory 1) and each treats a products selection
n° 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 : same location (factory 2) and each treats a products selection
n° 11 : all products of factory 3
n° 12 : all products of factory 4
n° 13 : all products of factory 5
A product can only be produced in a single location, so there might not have access concurencies during parallel jobs. Do you think it could be some kind of a technical problem (not enough process available ?). Note that the problem can't come from CPU, we use CPU auto-allocation, and it works well.
What do you think ?
Thanks

SNP Optimizer Issue

Hi Experts,
We are working on SNP Optimization scenario with Transportation, Procurement, Strorage and penalty Cost. Our business process trading industry (we procure and sell).
We maintained Optmizaion profile with linear and Primal simplex Algorithm. We took a sample scenario where our product has four suppliers with diffrent transportation costs maintained in transportation lanes.
In SDP94, Optimizer behaving diffrently.
Case 1: When we run directly at destination location (product + Destination) level optimization running smoothly with out picking any transportation lanes, costs. Subsequently no purchase requistions are created.
Case 2: When we select all locations (Product + Source and Destination) and run optimization the following errors are coming which we are not able to identify the origin.
Error 1: Cost function 051MhWG07j6MwgLZXQcXSm not found
Error 2: Conversion from STD to EA for product WDE-MATL1A not maintained
Error 3: Error occurred when reading data
We checked CCR no errors are identified. Also there is no UOM called STD. We couldn't understand why Optimizer is proposing STD to EA conversion error.
Can you please throw some light.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ugameswara Rao
When you run optimizer,you need to run as a whole including all teh Network...So,the first observation is standard
Regarding teh second issue,It is a Master data inconsistency,So,please identify the 'concerned location product' and maintain the cost accordingly(Check teh log to find the concerned location product)
Regarding error "Error occurred when reading data",please raise a seperate thread,as the raesons for this are multiple...but try this first run //om17,model consistency check and correct the data model set...but,the reason for this could also be a softwre error....hence,if the above don't help,please rasise a seperate thread with all details like: STEP in which thi serror occur,and also teh message log details
Thanks and Regards

SNP Optimizer With Runtime Errors

I am Trying to run SNP Optimizer.
The actions performed on SNP Interacive planing book is Selected the Product Locations in Selection window and When trying to load data or click optimizer it is giving a runtime error.
The Error Says: A table is refered to in a SAP open SQL statement that either does not exit or is unknown to the ABAP dictonary.
Table involved is /SAPAPO/STOCKANC.
Please , can anyone help me understand. What the error is and how to go about it?
That would be a great help.
Thanks
GAyatri

Hi Gayatri,
Very first check is already mentioned in the error message.
Did you check that the table "/SAPAPO/STOCKANC" exists in your system? When you would dispplay the table in SE11, you should see against the table name that it should show up as "active".
Click on "check" and then "activate" button if the table is not active. This would make it active.
Alternatively take help from your ABAP colleagues.
(Table should have a description "Key and Descriptive Data for Stock". You should also try to find out if recently some OSS note was applied which is causing this kind of issue)
Thanks - Pawan

Error when generating program /SAPAPO/TSM141 and Errors in source system

Hello APO Experts!
I had to include a new key figure in the cube and the planning area with configuration semantic = 000.
The problem is, in my DEV system, the modification was perfect. Then when I did in the QA system, I´ve got the error "Error when generating program /SAPAPO/TSM141" and u201CErrors in source systemu201D when trying to load data in the Infopackage.
Do you have any idea of what this could be?
Best Regards
Nik

Hello,
The problem may come from the inconsistency between the datasource settings and the content in table /SAPAPO/TSAREATE.
- SE16, go to table /SAPAPO/TSAREATE, input the planning area name, check the extraction structure, which is started from '/1APO/EXT_STRU'.
- SE16, go to table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, input the datasource name, and check the extraction structure.
Are the two extraction structures the same or different ?
If they're different, please read the below solutions, otherwise, you can ignore the following.
In general and most customer cases this inconsistency happens during transporting of datasource alone. In many cases the planning area is directly created at target system and datasoucre transported from a a different system which causes incorrect export structure entry in planning area table.
Please refer to following content from note 549184:
Q4: Why could I have extraction problem after transport of DataSource?
A4: DataSources for DP/SNP planning areas depend directly on the structure of the planning areas. That's why the planning area MUST ALWAYS be transported with or before the DataSource.
The simple solution will be to create a dummy data source for this planning area. This will regenerate the extract structure for all other data sources as well and update the corresponding tables. After that you can delete the dummy datasource.
After delete the dummy datasource, in case of inconsistency, please also run the report /SAPAPO/TS_PSTRU_GEN report for
- Basis - form routines
- Create planning objects
- Planning area extractor
with the flags "Reset generation time stamp" and "Generate" set.
And in order to transfer datasource correctly, please also refer to the consulting note 514524.
Best Regards,
Ada

Deletion Time Period at SNP Optimization

Hi!
I'm facing some problems at my SNP Optimization due a wrong Deletion Time Period.
Where could I maintain the "Deletion Time Period" (DEL_TRANS and DEL_PROD) for SNP?
Thanks a lot!
Victor Leao

Hi Pawan,
Thanks for your reply.
In fact, it is not a program error. The situation is the following:
For example:
I have some SNP documents (stock transfer) at 23.12.2011. They were generated at the last optimization.
Now, a new optimization is run and some documents at 23.12.2011 were not deleted.
Checking the "Deletion Time Period" (DEL_TRANS) at SNP Optimization Log, I see that for those products the "Start" is 06.02.2012 and the "Finish" is 06.05.2012. So, documents before 06.02.2012 are not considered for deletion.
The products wich documents were deleted have "Start" at 01.01.1970 and "Finish" at 06.05.2012.
I would like to understand how can I maintain those dates for DEL_TRANS.
Thanks in advance,
Victor Leao

Considering Forecast in the past for SNP optimizer

Does SNP optimizer considers the forecast in the past as a requirement?
I tried with standard book and dataview but SNP optimizer did not consider past forecast. I checked optimizer log, forecast was not there also.
Am I missing something? Or is it default behaviour?
Thanks.

Hi
Yes that is the default behaviour, essentially the Optimiser has assumed that anything in the past has already occurred and will only start to plan demand from the first bucket onwards.

Ian

SNP Optimizer

Hi All,
When we run the SNP Optimizer in the background scheduler, several buckets don't get planned and are missing planned orders. When we run it in the foreground, that is in Interactive SNP Planning, it works fine and plans for every bucket.
I checked at the parameters and everything looks fine. I also checked the Optimizer Log data. When we run it in the background I get a warning message saying that the Non-delivery penalty cost is too low, but again, when we run it in Interactive SNP Planning screen it works fine.
Thanks
Rob

Check if optimization profile used in interactive planning is different from the background mode.
For the background mode optimization profile try maintaining relative Penalty costs considerably high.
If you don't maintain any penalty costs optimizer will skip creating orders as there is no costs affected if that specific requirement is not met.
Check for the material & capacity availability, in case if some other order(for a different mateiral probably using the same resource) has more penalty costs it will consider that first.
Hope this helps
