Personal: career move from SD to APO

I am an SAP SD consultant with nearly 4yrs of exp and I would like to move into APO.
I am trying to find what the best way to do this is.
As a first step, I am planning to get trained in the following courses (internal training offered by my company)
> SAP Core Interface APO
> SAP GATP (Global Available to Promise)
So would like to hear experiences of the fellow consultants who moved over from R/3...what's the best transition strategy, any mistakes that you could have avoided...any other experiences..
Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the world of SAP SCM
starting with GATP to leverage your SD experience is a good move I would say
but my opinion is GATP in itself is not a substantial area. I would also suggest you have a look at Demand Planning which is relatively easy to pick up but is a totally different concept. DP -GATP might also have some common areas .So add on DP to your list. Even if you dont get training there will be enough material to learn on your own
CIF is something that all SCM consultants should be knowing anyhow (except the Pure DP ones). just make sure you dont get stuck with the job of monitoring CIF 
good luck

  • HT1688 Messaging does not let me move from one conversation to another without going to the contact info of the person and choosing "send a message", then I can continue the conversation. I'm sure it's a setting I have made by mistake, but can't figure it

    Messaging does not let me move from one conversation to another without going to the contact info of the person and choosing "send a message", then I can continue the conversation. I'm sure it's a setting I have made by mistake, but can't figure it out

    Hi Elaine
    Here si what I do:
    Since I tend to message with teh same people I leave the messages available to me.  If you are in one conversation with "Karen"  and want to message with "Kathy" tap the message back arrow and select Kathy.
    As always just be careful to rememeber who you are messaging to!

  • 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

  • Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

    Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • Watching movies from Netflix app on your tv from iPhone 5

    I was wondering, since at the moment I'm without cable tv and internet because of a dispute with my local cable provider, is there a way I can 'mirror' or whatever movies from the netflix app to my tv? I don't have any special cables for my iPhone but for my MacBook Pro I do use a HDMI cable from my macbook to my tv (just a regular Sanyo 46" LCD TV) and it works just fine. I figure if I can somehow connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, then to my tv I might can stream the movies on my phone but shows on my tv.
    As I said, right now I don't have internet (just relying on Sprints network) and I'm not in range of any free wifi.

    You may be able to do so through your "Personal Hotspot".
    Hook your computer to your TV.
    On your phone under settings click "Personal Hotspot" and turn it on, use the information provided to connect your computer to your "Hotspot".
    That should work so you can use Netflix on your computer since you'll now have wi-fi.

  • Transfer movies from camera roll to macbook pro

    How do I transfer a movie from camera roll in iPad 3 to Macbook Pro. It doesn't seem to show up in iTunes.

    You don't use iTunes to import photos and vidoes.
    When the iPad is connected to the Mac - launch iPhoto. The iPad should show up on the left side under the devices heading. Click on it, you can import the videos from the camera roll using iPhoto.

  • Watch movie from Mac Air to tv without AppleTV

    Can I use a Thunderbolt to hdmi cable to watch movies from my MacAir without having to go through AppleTV?  I have been successful getting the video to show up, but no audio was sent to my TV. 
    Thanks in advance

    I'm a Mac person.  That's the first thing I tried.  There is no setting other than internal speaker or Airplay via my netwrok.  It appears that this cannot be done and my Air is new this past summer.  Would have thought this would have been adressed.

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?

    How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the "replacement" face from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the face. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the face from picture B to cover the face on A
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and face B on a separate layer
