Integration model generation

Hi,
We have a integration model for master data- Schedule lines and contracts. We have a background job that generates and activates the model. If I regenerate the model in CFM1, does it hurt anything for the job?
I think every time you generate a model, a new model will be generated right? Does this cause any discrepancy?
Thanks.

There are two types of sending data to APO through CIF
1) Sending only changes (Delta)
2) Sending everything (Delta+ New creation).
Considering there are three materials which changed on a certain day then just activating the IM model will work perfectly fine.
If along with three materials there was also an addition of a brand new material in R/3 . Then only by generating the Integration model will not help .
You will have to delete the original IM and recreate the same IM by using variants then activate the IM. By doing so it will consider as a initial transfer and send all the three old materials and the brand new material changes to APO.
If you feel it is useful pelase reward points.
The reason behind this behaviour : When you try to activate already existing IModel, then it only activates those objects which are already been generated and present during the generation of the IM.
So if a new material is created you will need more than just to generate. You will have to delete the model, generate the model, activate the model.
Thank You

Automatic generation of integration models

For Automatic Generation of integration Model we referred SAP Help and have done the settings as per SAP help.
     T code: CFC9
     Material Master Change Transfer         2 (BTE Transfer, Immediately)
     T code: BF11
     Maintained
     ND-APO     New Dimension PlugIn APO
     T code: SM30
     Table:     CIFIMODGEN
Connection pt     Counter     Program     Variant
MAT_INS        1     RIMODGEN     RSG_BTE
But system is not generating NEW Integration Model.
Reference from SAP Help:
Make the following settings to change to online transfer:
     Use transaction CFC9 to call the screen Change Target-System-Independent Settings in CIF. Under Change Transfer for Master Data, choose BTE Transfer, Immediately. As of SAP R/3 4.0B, you can make this setting in CIF Customizing in SAP R/3 under Basic Settings for the Data Transfer ® Configure Change Transfer for Master Data.
     Use transaction SM30 to call the screen Maintain Table Views: Initial Screen. Call table CIFIMODGEN. You see the screen Change View "Customizing Automatic Generation of Integration Models". You determine the procedure for adapting the integration model by making entries in this database table.

Did you run program RIMODGEN in SE38 with appropriate variant to generate new integration models ? The spro settings or CFC9 have nothing to do with generation of new integration models. try to do some forum search on Integration Models and you may get some clue.

More than one CIF integration model possible for material?

Hi Gurus,
we want to have two different integration models (with non-overlapping selections) for materials to be able to have separate selections, but we cannot make it work.
When we create them the first time and then activate them, everything works fine: both models send their products to APO in the initial load. However, if there are changes in products in both models, when we generate and then activate one of the models, the changes in the other one are lost: the generation-activation of the second model does not send any product to APO even if there were any changes in the master data (and we see the ALE pointers as processed in the table)
Is there any workaround to solve this issue in a system without CIF pointers in BDCP2?? The ECC system is below the relevant releases and will not be upgraded in the near future.
We could not find any mention to an existing limitation on the number of models being one neither in OSS notes nor the help pages.
thanks a lot,
Pablo

Pablo,
It is common to have multiple Integration Models for Materials.
I have never heard of transaction BDCP2. I also have never seen the problem you describe.
I usually prefer not to use change pointers at all for Master data, such as Materials. You can alter this behavior in CFC9, and instead use Business Transfer Events. This means that all fields that are relevant for 'change transfer' to SCM will move across almost immediately after saving the changed material master.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/c8/cece3be9cd4432e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Also read the links contained in this page.
If you wish to actually perform a new 'initial load', then run the Integration model through program RIMODINI. It may be a lengthy run.
As always, check first in your Qual system before committing to production.
Best Regards,
DB49

System copy:integration models altered

Hi SCM experts,
We have APO 4.1 connected to ECC system.Recently the QAS data is refreshed with PRD data and after that all CIF integration model variants in QAS are pointing to PRD system. There are more than 100 integration model variants and changing the logical system mnaualy to QAS client is taking long time.
Is there any standrad report or t.code by means of which we can do a mass maintenance of these integration model variants ?

Hi deeparai,
You can change the name of logical system in ECC table CIF_IMOD. However, the integration models will not become active unless you generate them again (CFM1/2/3).
Hope this helps in reducing manual work.

biplab

CIF - Integration model name and APO application

Hi Experts,
In the CFM1 Transaction, there are 3 mandatory inputs are Model name, Logical system and APO application.
Logical systems are customized in CFC1 transaction. I couldn't trace the model name and application creation.
What is the transaction to customize/Create the new Model name and APO application.
Hope this is very simple question to you and expect your soon.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Hi Somnath,
Thanks for ur reply.
First I saved the selection as variant. But it was not updated in the IM table.
Then I tried to generate the model and now I can see the details when I use the F4 help.
So, to create a integration model need to generate the variant once.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Transfer of material from R/3 to APO, Problem in Integration model

Hi
I have created Integration model for Transferring material from R/3 to APO.
While activating the model, it is giving error with status as i..e. SYSFAIL
On clicking the status, I am getting the following message
"Logical system R3CON does not assigned to Business System Group"
?Where to locate the BSG in R/3 and assign before transferring matl to APO
i require the steps&help to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance to all members for the help.

Dear Srikant ,
Pls check you have followed the below steps in the same sequence for R3 and APO
CIF Settings in R/3
Check ALE settings or activate ALE settings
Define the logical system BD54
Assign logical system to a client SCC4
Set the RFC destination SM59
Assign target system and queue type CFC1
Maintain the SAP APO release NDV2
Activate BTEs for SAP APO integration BF11
User parameters for CIF CFC2
CIF Settings in APO
Check ALE settings or activate ALE settings
Define the logical system BD54
Assign logical system to a client SCC4
Set the RFC destination SM59
Set up business system group
Create BSG /SAPAPO/C1
Assign logical systems to BSG /SAPAPO/C2
Maintain distribution definitions /SAPAPO/CP1
User parameters for CIF /SAPAPO/C4
You have got stuck up somewhere in R3 setting , which I have marked in italic font i.e.Assign target system and queue type CFC1
I hope this will solve your problem .

Is there a way to use EJBs directly inside WDJ without Model generation?

Hello,
Is there a way to use EJBs directly inside WDJ without Model generation, to avoid producing tonnes of code and reuse the JPA Entities?
Thanks

of course, you can.
it's pure java programming.

What is the latest model/generation for ipod touch?

what is the latest model/generation for ipod touch?

Stedman1
I'm not sure how all of this works but I read a few of yur comments and figured you'd be the person to ask! I have an iPod touch as well as my iPhone 4. I'm trying to find an otter box for the touch because I truly love it on my ip4, not to mention ive given the touch to my 6 year old and NEED the protection. Anyway, I'm not positive which generation it is and don't want to order the wrong one. The model # is A 1367.
Any help?? Please!!!!

Not able to include PM order type PM03 in integration model

Hi Experts,
I am creating PM order in R/3 with order type PM03. But while creating the integration model for maintaince order, PM03 is not populating. and others I am getting like PM01, PM02 etc...
Please advise if I need to do some setting for the same.
Thanks
Hitesh

Hi,
Request you to cross check whether the PM03 order type has the below two check box active in IMG. 9 Tcode = OIOA
Open Item Management and Release Immediately.
PM03 order type with the above settings are getting reflected for me in my integration model.

Creating integration model

I have created an integration model using CFM1 & activated in CFM2.
now dont know how to proceed.
is there any document or link to transfer data from R/3 to APO system.
i m new to this field & trying by own.
Thanks in advance.

Best way of creating CIF integration Model
Hai,
Please go through the above thread which can help you for understanding more about the integration models creation.
You have mentioned that you have done CFM1 and CFM2. Can you please inform for which object you have done and what you would like to see in APO?
Giving more details would enable helping you better.

Web Dynpro Model Generation for Application Services

Hi Experts,
I'm currently experimenting with the new functionality provided by CE, but there is one thing that I can't seem to figure out. How does the new Web Dynpro model generation work with regards to CAF Application Services? I'm trying to call an application service from a web dynpro application, but it seems as if models are completely different from Netweaver 7.0. What type of model do I need to create? Do I have to expose the application services as web services?
I've tried creating an EJB model and then binding the model to the context, but I kept receiving null pointer exceptions when doing this and I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this. Can anybody point me to some good documentation on Web Dynpro/CAF interaction in CE?
Thank you,
JP

Hi JP,
You are right, the CAF models are completely different in NW CE 7.1 compared to NW 7.0.
CAF Application Services in CE 7.1 are in fact EJBs. So the EJB model importer is the way to go. You can find <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/dd45e4bc295595e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm">documentation</a> and some <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/f7f744aea471fae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm">tutorials</a> on help.sap.com. If you still have troubles after you go thru these, please post your concrete issues and I'm sure we'll be able to figure out what's been going wrong.

Deleting an Integration Model.

hi Guys
if any kind of changes happens in master data in ECC then we transfer that data in SCM,then what happens with that planning data with which we work earlier.
And Deleting an integration model does not mean that the previously selected data in APO is also deleted.what happens of that data.
thank u
karan
Edited by: karan.sap on Feb 27, 2010 6:36 PM

Hi Karan,
1) if any kind of changes happens in master data in ECC then we transfer that data in SCM,then what happens with that planning data with which we work earlier.
As and when you activate an integration model, a new integration model gets
generated and the earlier one will get deactivated. (provided the model name,
model selection criteria are same). That means the newly changed master data
will get activated to SCM system in which the old change is obsolete.
2) And Deleting an integration model does not mean that the previously selected data in APO is also deleted.what happens of that data
Whenever a new model gets generated, the old model will be there in the system
only and that inactive models needs to be deleted at frequent intervals orelse
it will add inconsistency to the system. This will be done using CFM7 transaction
by selecting inactive models indicator. Whether the old model is deleted or not, but
system always will read and plan as per the newly activated model.

Manual Reservations Integration Model

Hello All,
In our project, during Go-live we dint had manual reservation Integration Model Activated due to some business reason.
whenver a process order is created in R/3, Reservations for Components appear in R/3 and APO.
Now when the components are good Issued in R/3 during Finished Product Process Order, these dependent reservations are not deleted in APO though the stock is reduced. Upon analysis we found that by activating the Manual Reservation Integration Model , these reservation will be deleted and hence both the R/3 and APO System will be in sync.
Now the Problem is when we are trying to do this manual reservation Integration Model activation through Batch Job , activation is taking a very long time. Upon further analysis we found that for the material-Plant combinations, program tries to search records in table RESB and approximately it takes around 5 minutes for each material -plant combinations. In our integration model we have around 2400 Material-Plant Combinations. CFC3 settings for Reservations are select block size of 1000 and filter block size of 512. R/3 version is 4.7.
Table entries in RESB are close to 3.5 Million with 141 Extends.
So just wanted to check with you guys if anybody has experienced this problem before and what resolutions were put in place to addres this ? Are there any SAP Notes available ? I searched but could not found any.
also what would be the best way to go forward? Some of the options i could think are
1) Run the I.M for selected material-Plant Combinations
2) Run the I.M for generic selection Criteria ( i.e AS IS) during Weekend.
Pls share your opinions.
Regards,
Pawan.

Hello Kenneth,
As i understand from your message that if a final Issue Indicator is unchecked, then those reservations should be present in APO. However i got confused with your below statement
Therefore it is neccessary that reservations with final issue indicator set are available in APO.
I think you might be trying to tell reservations with final issue indicator unchecked ( and not SET) are available in APO.
Regarding Transaction Code MBVR, I have few queries
1) Does this T-CODE MBVR sets the deletion Indicator in Table RESB or does it delete the Reservation permanently from Table.
2) I am not able to locate Completed Items field, which will enable me to delete Reservations. Can you pls let me know the field name.
Pls note that whenever i am trying to delete reservations thorugh t-code MBVR, it gives a message " No Document exists for the Speficied data".
thanks for your assistance,
Pawan.

Requirement Reduction integration model

Hi,
Can someone explain in layman terms with an example what happens when "requirment reduction" object is CIF'd alongwith Planned independent Requirements (to APO). Why should/would someone create an integration model for requirement reduction when integration models exist for PIRs and Sales Orders consumption settings are taking care of netting (as applicable/set). we have funtionalities for consumption and reduction of sales orders from PIR's e.g in APO and ECC.
Thanks
Lok

Hello,
I would like to see a clear explanation to that as well.
From what I understand reading about this topic it is to have additional control over this by applying own logic in CIF.
Quoting the SAP documents:
<<If you set this indicator, you can create integration models specifically for
the Requirements Reduction filter object type (type T_FCC).
The filtering takes place on the basis of active integration models for
requirements reduction. In this case, you can control in greater detail for
which material-plant combinations a requirements reduction should be transferred
to SAP APO.>>
For normal cases this is not needed. Perhaps it is needed if you want certain shipments to other plants to reduce forecast. E.g. mixed MRP.

Tor

Purchase Order Integration Model Activation Error "Source Invalid"

Hi Experts,
When I try to activate Purchase Order CIF integration model for a specific plant, I am getting an error
"SOURCE_INVALID" r XC 014
When I checked failed LUW, found one product which is Subcontracted.
These a Subcon PO exist at this plant and Vendor is Subcon Vendor.
Before IM activation, I have CIFed Subcon vendor and T-lane between Vendor to plant exists in APO.
Any idea how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Vipul

Hi Vipul,
I hope you have created subcontracting purchasing info record and connected with the productuon version.
Secondly whether it is valid.
A purchasing info record of the category subcontracting which documents the subcontractor as the source of supply of the end product.
