Multiple Clients in SCM/APO 51.

Hello,
1.Is it possible to create Golden master client & Testing client in a single SAP SCM/APO5.1 instance and work simultaneously with the BI and APO commands (e.g. RSA1) in both the clients?
2.Can we have two live cache servers on a single physical hardware?
3.Can a single live cache server can be connected to two different SAP instance DEV and QAS?

I do not have a good answer but it seems APO-DP uses BW as Data Mart which results in some restriction in using multiple client. See SAP Note 522569 for details. Moreover in the Multi-client Whitepaper (attached to SAP Note 31557) the table in page 23 mentions Multi-client Status for APO with DP : Not OK and APO w/o DP : Restricted OK.
Hope this is of some help.

Multiple Clients in SCM-APO?

In a Development SCM-APO 5.0 environment, can we have multiple clients? For instance, can we have a unit test client(with master and transactional data), a security client, and a golden configuration client.
We have heard that there may be issues with having more than one client, but we are not sure if this is correct. Our SCM-APO unit test client would be the only one that is connected to a BW (3.5) Development client and a R/3 (4.7) Development client. The security and golden config client would not be connected to external systems. Is this landscape possible and supported by SAP?

Multiple Clients in SCM 7.0

Dear All,
Can we have multiple clients in SCM 7.0?
What is pro's and con's of having multiple clients???
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi Siva,
For non BI-based applications such as PP/DS you can use multi-client landscape in the same manner as in ERP system.
For DP, SNP etc. see sapnote 522569 (it's relevant for 7.0 as well)

SCM and CRM Multiple Clients in one system

Dear all,
I want to ask a question regarding Multiple clients in SCM 5 - IDES and CRM 5 -IDES.
I installed the system and plan to have multiple clients in a system with copying client 800 (IDES) to others.
I heard opinion that it can't possibly be done because if during the exercise the Administrator Workbench is executed it will search to the source client (800) and probably affect the exercise.
Would you mind giving me more suggestion about this?
Thank you.
Fausto

Hi Fausto,
Could you be more specific about what you need to achive?
You can always creat a new client, logon to the client and do a client copy with TCod SCCL.
If you logon to other IDES clients then You'ld overwrite the content of the client which have been pre-configured.
Check the status of the client you need to overwrite from TCod scc4.
Also to verfiy the status of the target client for TCod se06 -system change option.

Multiple clients in SAP SCM /APO/BI

Hello,
1.Is it possible to create Golden master client & Testing client in a single SAP SCM/APO5.1 with BI 7.03 instance and work simultaneously with the BI and APO commands (e.g. RSA1) in both the clients?
Regards
Riyaz

Hi
We have a requirement at our end as below-
1)We have 2 clients in our APO Developement system and they are using BW functionality of APO
2)These 2 clients need to talk to 2 different client in our ECC System for ex:- APD has 2 clients(100 & 200) and ECC has two clients(101 and 201).
We need APD 100 to talk to ECC client 101 and APD client 200 talking to ECC client 201.
The query is - Is this possible to do the same .
If yes,can anyone guide me with some required documents

SCM APO can we copy the data from client 001 to client 002???

Hi Guru's
SCM APO can we copy the data from client 001 to client 002???
If it is possibulity please let me know?
Regards,
Sree

Yes you can do.
Tcode SCCL.
Options :
When copying clients, you can select what you want to transfer from the source client to the target client:
User masters: You select this option, for example, if you want to give all users of an existing client the same authorizations in the target client.
Client-specific Customizing: You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a new client in an existing system.
Client-specific Customizing and master/transaction data:
You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a test client that is identical to the production client (in the same system).
Client-specific and cross-client Customizing: You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a quality assurance system based on the production client of another system.
Client-specific and cross-client Customizing and master/transaction data: You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a test client based on the production client of another system.

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?
Regards,
Rob Veenman

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.

640 SID With BW Layer - Multiple Clients?

My company installed SRM (SRM_SERVER 500 SP #7) with the BW layer (BW 350 SP # 14) does it make sense to have a multiple client strategy in the non-productive SRM SIDs? Does anyone have any SAP white papers on client strategy on the new dimension products (BW, CRM, SCM/APO, EP, etc.)? Since I am not a BW developer I am uncertain as to why in BW it only makes sense to have 1 client which I would guess if a new dimension SID has the BW layer active then it would make sense to only have 1 client as well? Any information would be most appreciated.

Hi Ken,
SAP NetWeaver BI cannot use multiple client because the objects it creates and uses are client independent. In fact only SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP (usage type AS ABAP) based system offer the potential of a multi- client solution. AS JAVA based applications do hot have a client concept, they tend to have multiple instances (i.e. one per client).
I'm having a little difficulty understanding one part of your question ".. would guess if a new dimension SID has the BW layer active then it would make sense to only have 1 client as well?...". Can you elaborate on the question?
Are you asking, if the SAP NetWeaver capability one has one client, does it make sense to have only one client in the ABAP based application too?
Cheers,
Mike.

Multiple clients in SAP BI possible to create?

Hi,
I already have a SAP BI system on client 150. Is it possible to create a different client for the same system? In R/3 we do the developement and import it through SCC1. If I want similar scenario in BI then is it possible?
Regards.
Shailesh Naik

Technically, you can have multiple clients. SAP does support it. It has its own limitations though. Refer the below note:
Note 522569 - BW: Working in several clients (especially APO 4.x/SCM 4.x)
But advise is not to do it unless its a testing environment.

SAP SCM-APO

Experts,
I don't know, Is it the right place to post, but I am confident about only your suggestions.
I need your valuable suggestion to learn and built my career in SCM APO. I have been into technologies ABAP, SAP Console, RFID, WM, and have knowledge about SCM EWM. I am very much interested to learn SAP APO,but I don't have knowledge about this module how the future will be.
Your valuable suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar,
You sure have very good experience in SAP but please let me know if you have any domain experience as well in any Industry. Because WM or EWM is not going to be of any help to you in understanding the business requirements. More over the Modules that are primarily used by the clients are Demand Planning, Supply Network Planning, Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling,
Global Availability to Promise, Transport Planning and Vehicle Scheduling.These are the key modules for which there is a reuiqrement for Consultants.
So I would suggest that instead you should try for BI which has very high requirements in the Market as of now and with your Technical background picking up BI should not be an issue.
This is my personal opinion... Choice is yours
Thanks,
Harsh

Integration of SCM-APO

Hi,
Can any body please tell me how to check whether a ERP system is integrated to SCM-APO or not other than SM59
Thank you
Regards,
Reddy

HI Reddy,
i suggest rather going to tech transaction codes,
you can check the same in RSA1, source systems...
on the source system list you can asee what are all the servers/clients available and Rt.click and choose check it will give you the status of the source system. whether it is connected correctly or not. if any issues in connectin it will give you the error.

Accessing the same stateful session bean from multiple clients in a clustered environment

I am trying to access the same stateful session bean from multiple
          clients. I also want this bean to have failover support so we want to
          deploy it in a cluster. The following description is how we have tried
          to solve this problem, but it does not seem to be working. Any
          insight would be greatly appreciated!
          I have set up a cluster of three servers. I deployed a stateful
          session bean with in memory replication across the cluster. A client
          obtains a reference to an instance of one of these beans to handle a
          request. Subsequent requests will have to use the same bean and could
          come from various clients. So after using the bean the first client
          stores the handle to the bean (actually the replica aware stub) to be
          used by other clients to be able to obtain the bean. When another
          client retrieves the handle gets the replica aware stub and makes a
          call to the bean the request seems to unpredictably go to any of the
          three servers rather than the primary server hosting that bean. If the
          call goes to the primary server everything seems to work fine the
          session data is available and it gets backed up on the secondary
          server. If it happens to go to the secondary server a bean that has
          the correct session data services the request but gives the error
          <Failed to update the secondary copy of a stateful session bean from
          home:ejb20-statefulSession-TraderHome>. Then any subsequent requests
          to the primary server will not reflect changes made on the secondary
          and vice versa. If the request happens to go to the third server that
          is not hosting an instance of that bean then the client receives an
          error that the bean was not available. From my understanding I thought
          the replica aware stub would know which server is the primary host for
          that bean and send the request there.
          Thanks in advance,
          Justin


          If 'allow-concurrent-call' does exactly what you need, then you don't have a problem,
          do you?
          Except of course if you switch ejb containers. Oh well.

To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

Experts,
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
Thanks,
Meera

Hi,
Think in this way,
To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO, then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
Thanks

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.
