Regarding datasources on 1 planning area

Hi all,
Can i create more than 1 datasource for one planning area.
Please suggest.
Shashi.

Thanx a lot for your answer,but we has alreary 1 datasource on 1 planning area ,if i create 1 more datasource on that planning area ,does it effect the existing datasource becoz we have appended 2 new fields in the existing data source which is not present in that planning area.So i would like to know if i create a new data source for that planning area does it effect the existing datasouse.
If you answer this it could be very help ful to us...........
Thanx
Regards,
Shashi.

Datasource on APO Planning Area - Transportation Error

Hi All,
             I have created the Datasource on APO Planning Area. Datasource working fine check in RSA3 and also in BW side. when transporting the data source from APO Dev to APO QA i am getting following error and transport fails. Please suggest.
Thanks

Christopher,
There seems to be no extract strucutre available for this data source in quality. This is creating the problem in quality. The extract strucutre which is created in your scenario would be available in temp folder and that will not be availbale for transport, so you need to have the datasource generated in quality and then you transport the active version to quality so that it will be available with the changes as that of development.

Reassigning Datasource to a new planning area

Hi,
Currently we have a datasource in a planning area. However this planning area was not as per the naming conventions and hence a new planning area had to be created. No we need to reassign the datasource to this new planning area. Is there any way to achieve this without deleting the datasource and recreating a new one with the same name?
Thanks & Regards
Dharmendra

There may be possible approaches through backend database table updates. However I would not recommend that. You would need to regenerate the datasources. Else there will be surely issues while migrating or even while doing backups.

APO- BI Datasource from Planning Area

Hi All,
I need help with APO-BI datasource generated from Planning Area.
In the Dev environment we had two clients:
DCLNT020 (Holds APO part) DCLNT010 (Holds BI workbench).
So a datasource was generated from the Planning area in DCLNT020 --> it was replicated in DCLNT010 --> data from Planning Area was extracted to BI cube using this.
Now we transported this datasource to the Test environment which has only one client (TCLNT010). I maintained the Source to target mapping there such that DCLNT020 -- TCLNT010 and DCLNT010 -- TCLNT010.
However the Transport fails and the error message is:
Cannot replicate DataSource
Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for ISFS L
If I go to the Test system and try to generate the transported Datasource directly from the Planning area again, it says this DataSource already exists. However I cannot see this datasource in the system even after replicating and refreshing multiple times.
Please provide your inputs as to what might be wrong and hat I need to do to solve this.
TIA
Amrita

Hi Amrita Goswami
Based on the above post it seems to be your maintain two clients in Dev one is for creation and another is for testing and when it comes to test environment your maintain only one client and maintain the DS in one it wont give any impact..
Based on the error
> +Cannot replicate DataSource+
> +Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for ISFS L+
There could be two reasons
1) Needs to replicate the data source once you have imported it to test environ ment and than ran the program "RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL" by giving the name of the source and DS name if its BI 7.0
If its 3.x then have to execute the program :"RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL" By specifying the transfer structure name.
2) RS_AFTER_IMPORT in some cases its because of improper transport of the update rules.
Solution would be recollect the transport and release the DS transport first and execute the ( 1)Activities and then transport the remaining._
Hope its clear a little..!
Thanks

***Even if you have nothing, you can get anything.
But your attitude & approach should be positive..!****

Problem in getting data in SNP Planning Area Data Source

Hi All,
Problem Statement: To fetch data from SNP Planning Area for reporting in SAP BW.
Approach: Followed the standard SAP Help Document. Link:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/e0/9088392b385f6be10000000a11402f/content.htm
First Step: To create a DataSource on the Planning Area (Z9ASNP02) and Aggregate(9AMALO).
For that
Go to SAP Easy Access>Click on /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN/ you are on S&DP Administration>Select the planning Area Z9ASNP02 double click on it
You are on Change Planning Area Screen>Go to Extras left click>DP/SNP Data Extraction Tool-->Click on Generate Data Source, Provide the
Data Source Name & Select the Aggregate 9AMALO and click on continue. Data Source is generated.
But now when i go for Test Data Source-->Extractor Checker Screen and then providing the version 000 and then when i click on extraction Button
It gives a Message "0 data records selected".
Thanks in Advance,
rahul

Hi Somnath,
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong; you are saying that, we cannot extract data from order series keyfigures. In that case how many key figures you maintain for time series, performance miight come down for planning area if you maintain huge no of keyfigures.
Is there any way to extract data from Order series Planning area?
Thanks & Regards,

Generating data source for a planning area

Hi all,
I have a problem when generating a datasource for a planning area as it gives the following logs.
Activate table /1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX
Tabble 1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX was activated with warnings
and the data source is not being activated.
I have also created an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX and tried to activate the datasource for the planning area ,it is saying the datasource already exists.
Can anyone give me a straight solution for this.
thnks in advance.

Hi Satish,
After you generate the datasource, go to transaction /n/sapapo/sdp_extr and try doing a check on this datasource. If you still get those warning/error messages, try the Repair datasource option and see if it fixes the issue. In RSA1, replicate this datasource and then try activating it there and see if it works. Don't create an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, as this is not a standard recommended way of doing it. Good luck

Mohammed.

Back up cube for report from planning area

Hi Gurus,
We are in implementation and i had seen that client wanted to see daily data and wanted to delete that data and load next day data.One more point is client even wanted monthly data as well in a same cube and this two facilities should be in single info cube.
How is is possible?
for further info we have calday and calmonth time Chart.
please suggest me some good ideas.
I will be verythankfull to your suggestions.
Thanks a Lot
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can use SAP BW to create reports for the user. You have the option of using an external BW system or the BW system that is coupled with the APO server. If you have an external BW system, then it is recommended that you report from there. As you may know APO is an OLTP system and thus is configured for such. The external BW system will be configured for OLAP access and thus would be much more suitable for reporting purposes.
You may want create a SAP RemoteCube so that the data in your report is "as fresh as possible".
Here are the steps if you will be using the BW component in the APO system:
1) Create an export datasource for your planning area. (Transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR)
2) Create an InfoSource and attach the datasource your have created in step 1. (transaction RSA1 Modelling tab)
3) Create a SAP RemoteCube and attach your InfoSource and SourceSystem to that.
4) Create a BeX query and a BeX report (either in Web or Excel).
If you will be using an external BW system here are the steps:
1) Create an export datasource for your planning area in the APO system (Transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR)
In the external BW system:
2)replicate the datasource your have created.(transaction RSA1, Modelling tab, sourcesystems->choose the APO system->Right click->Replicate DataSources).
3) Create an InfoSource and attach the datasource that you have created in step 2. (transaction RSA1 Modelling tab)
3) Create a SAP RemoteCube and attach your InfoSource and SourceSystem to that.
4) Create a BeX query and a BeX report (either in Web or Excel).
Note that a RemoteCube is only suitable for few users only. If you will have many users, you need to create a Basic InfoCube instead.
In your BeX query, you can choose the granularity of your report. If you want your report to be aggregated to monthly level then be sure to include the 0CALMONTH InfoObject.
Please post again if things are not clear and I will be happy to help out.

SNP planning Area Backup

Hi All,
     Currently i am working on 5.0 SCM.I have one query.
For Reporting perpose we required to take backup of SNP planning Area,so that i can save SNP planning Area data in Info cube.I would like to see data in Infocube according to Product,Location & Resource wise only. So that i can use this data for reporting perpose.
     Can we create whole data flow process for SNP Planning Area?
     We have lot of Product & resources in APO,so is it feasible to take backup of SNP planning Area?
     I want to take backup of SNP planning area only for reporting perpose,so that i can publish report according to my Product,Location & Resources.
    So kindly suggest proper solution to achive above requirement.
   Thanks in Advance!

Attaching note 428147
Summary
Symptom
When extracting data from an SNP planning area, you must take account of some special features. These are explained in this note.
Solution
      1. Data can be extracted only for existing SNP aggregates.
      Existing SNP aggregates are:
          o 9AAC (9AACTNAME)
          o 9AACPR (9AACTNAME, 9APPMNAME)
          o 9ALA (9ATRNAME)
          o 9ALO (9ALOCNO)
          o 9ALORE (9ALOCNO, 9ARNAME)
          o 9AMA (9AMATNR)
          o 9AMALA (9AMATNR, 9ATRNAME)
          o 9AMALARE (9AMATNR, 9ARNAME, 9ATRNAME)
          o 9AMALO (9ALOCNO, 9AMATNR)
          o 9AMALORE (9ALOCNO, 9AMATNR, 9ARNAME)
          o 9AMAPR (9AMATNR, 9APPMNAME)
          o 9AMARE (9AMATNR, 9ARNAME)
          o 9APR (9APPMNAME)
          o 9ARE (9ARNAME)
          o 9AREPR (9APPMNAME, 9ARNAME)
           Only the characteristic/characteristic combinations contained in these aggregates may be used in the InfoSource, transfer structure and transfer rules.The simplest way of doing this is by always generating Export-DataSources for SNP planning areas to one of the aggregates and not to the Basis planning object structure '9ASNPBAS'.A typical result of using the Basis planning object structure '9ASNPBAS' without correcting the transfer structure is that, while data is transferred to a RemoteCube, it cannot be extracted in a BasisCube.
As of APO 3.0 Support Package 17 (or note 443613), only export DataSources for aggregates can be generated in SNP planning areas they are no longer generated for the Basis planning object structure.
Furthermore, note that the navigation attributes 9ATTYPE, 9ALOCTO, and 9ALOCFROM up to APO 3.0 Support Package 17 (or note 441653) must be deleted from the transfer structure for the SNP aggregates '9AMALA' (9AMATNR/9ATRNAME) and '9AMALARE' (9AMATNR/9ATRNAME/9ARNAME). These navigation attributes can be used from the specified correction.
Due to technical restrictions the characteristics '9ATRNAME' and '9ATTYPE' can only be restricted with single values in the selection for the data extraction.The use of intervals and formatting characters (+/*) is not allowed for these characteristics.
      2. For an SNP aggregate, only the key figures assigned to it can be extracted. You can see which key figures are assigned to an aggregate in transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN on the Key figure assignment tab of the relevant planning area. As of APO 3.0 Support Package 17 (or note 439366), only the key figures assigned to this aggregate are taken into account when an export DataSource is being generated for aggregates.
      3. During the definition of queries, the following restrictions apply:
           In the case of queries for the aggregate '9AMALA', certain key figures can only ever be extracted with another key figure.The key figure combinations that can only be extracted together are:
          o (9AFSHIP, 9ADMDDF, 9ADMDDFVMI)
          o (9AFSHIPLP, 9ADMDDFLP)
          o (9AFSHIPVMI, 9ADMDDFVMI)
          o (9APSHIP, 9ADMDDI, 9ADMDDIVMI)
          o (9APSHIPLP, 9ADMDDILP)
          o (9APSHIPVMI, 9ADMDDIVMI)
          o (9ATSHIP, 9ADMDDT, 9ADMDDTVMI)
          o (9ATSHIPVMI, 9ADMDDTVMI)

Planning area data not updated in infocube in APO system

Hi all,
User is uploading a flat file using addon program to an infocube 1, from this infocube data for sales forecast KF is getting transferred to a planning area KF using standard program RTS_INPUT_CUBE. I can see the updated data in Planning book (which refer the same planning area) data views. In planning book the sales forecast data is also getting copyied to second KF 'Arrangement FC' and its correct.
Now there is a infocube 2 (second) which is getting data directly from this planning area (infocube also contains both KFs). But When i checked this infocube 2 , the updated data is availabe in Sales forecast KF , but arrangement forecast KF is having old data only and user is running query on second KF , so he is getting wrong report.
Since there is no data flow for this infocube 2, and it is getting data from planning area, I feel its remote infocube.
I have also found the datasource for this planning area but don't know how to move further to find why data is not updating properly? Please help on this.
I have information that 2 weeks before data was properly updated, but this time data is not updated,
system version is SAP SCM 4.0

Hi Vivek
it is advisable to run the background jobs when the planning books are not being accesses by the users to prevent such inconsistencis. Hence i would advise you to run the jobs durng non-working hours. and if you have a global system, then you may restrict to run the jobs based on regional levels.
in addition, it is also a good practice to run consistency jobs before and after your have completed the background jobs. i hope you are using process chains to execute the sequeuce of jobs. if yes, then you can add consistency check jobs in the process chains.
some of the consistency check reports are :
/SAPAPO/OM17 - liveCache Consistency Check
/SAPAPO/TSCONS - Consistency Check for Time Series Network
/SAPAPO/CONSCHK - Model Consistency Check
and so and so forth..
you can find these conssistency jobs under APO Adiminstration --> Consistency checks in APO.
let me know if this helps.

Problem in developping Multi Planning area

Hi, experts,
I have a question regarding as the multi planning area ->
I have created a mullti planning area which include two basis area:
A for plan data (transactional cube)---> Charateristic: Material, 0CALYEAR/ KF: Price
B for actual data (non-trans cube)---> Charateristic: Material, Fiscal year/period/ KF: Quantity
My requirement is:
I would like to display the the quantity for a certain material for Fiscal year/period= [001.2009,012.2009] from Cube B, at the same line, i should be able to input the Price for 0CALYEAR 2010 into Cube A.
My question is:
how should I define the value of these two characteristics which restrict these two KF respectively ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As per my experience,you get this error message "Characteristic combinations cannot be assigned to any basic area",only when you have any characteristic present in one cube and not in another and then you try to post some values for it in the cube where it doesn't exist.With your example I guess there could be an issue with 0CALYEAR and Fiscal year/period.
Secondly you cann't post data to non transactional cubes which I guess you are trying to do so ,when you say post in same line mean the granularity of the record which you want to write can be like:-
FrmCubeA/BFrmCubeBFrmCubeAFrmCubeBFrmCubeA
Material1Fiscal year/period0CALYEARQuantityPrice
The above scenario where u are trying to get the data from both the cubes and post value to Cube A for price is not possible,as cube is non-transactional cube.
You can Include the Fiscal year/period and quantity in your real time cube CubeA ,copy the data using multiprovider into CubeA from CubeB for material and then u can plan price.
FrmCube AFrmCube AFrmCubeAFrmCubeAFrmCubeA
Material1Fiscal year/period0CALYEARQuantityPrice
Hope it may be helpful.

How to change the Package of planning area and datasource to be transportab

Hi every body,
I av created a datasource for the xxx planning area and saved in $tmp which is local package and cannot be transportable .and i would like to transport the planning area along with the data source.But before transporting the planning area along with the data sourse i av to change the package of the data source.I am not able to understand where should i change the package of the planning area and datasouce.
Can any body help me out of this problem.
Can be rewarded.
Shashi

Hi alaxander,
Thanx for your reply but before tranporting a datasource i av to transport the planning area bcoz it is the source.so how can i change the package of the planning area which is in $tmp (local object).

Planning Area datasource Parallel processing

Hello Experts,
Have anyone worked on using a parallel processing profile in a data source.
We are extracting the data from planning area for backup and extracting to BW for reporting purposes. To speed up the process, we have an option to implement parallel processing for the datasource related to the planning area.
Does this really work without any discrepancies in the data extracted?
Please provide some pointer on the concept.
Thanks,
Rag

Hi Raj,
In our project we are using 8 parallel processes with Block size 1000.
Regarding question 2: Ideally, yes both the iterations should result in same number of records, but data packets will be different based on Block Size. Please check whether you are referring to data packets or records.
Also if you have the check box marked in one of the iterations, the number of records may vary.

JB

Generate Export datasource for planning area

we are using SCM 4.0 version for running Demand planning.
i have one strange problem. that is, to generate export data source for planning area, there is no option when
right clicking on planning area(context menu).is this option is available somewhere else?. please give me a clue on how to generate export datasource for planning
area in version SCM 4.0? or do i need to do some configurations?.
Thanks in advance
Ramakrishna

Hi,
You may try the following:
1) From the menu: Demand Planning->Environment->Current Settings->Administration of Demand Planning
2)From the list of planning areas, double click your Planning Area to display your planning area setup

Missing key figures from planning area after recent transports

Hi,
We are facing an issue of data not loaded to the planning area , realized this after planning book does not show any values in the current week bucket. However the required values show up in the Infocube. Our setup is as below on SCM 7
external FILE---> FILE DataSource -
>CUBE -
> /SAPAPO/RTSINPUT_CUBE program -
> Planning area ---> planning book
Recent transports included selelction variant for the above program and now we see that some Key Figures are missing from Planning area from the KEY FIG assignement tab option from the above RTSINPUT_CUBE program.
Can any one please help

Hi,
Did you check what all change objects have been selected in your trasport request which is causing this?

Data source for a planning area

Hi Experts,
I have created a data source 9AZDP_APAP for my planning area ZDP_APAP. When I'm creating this data source, SAP itself prefixing my datasource name with '9A'.
I'm wondering is this ( Starting the data sorce name with '9A') with in our system only or with every system.
If it is with every system then is there anyway I can override this.
The reason why I'm asking this question is my data source is giving error " M version is different from A version' in RSA1, when I'm trying to activate my datsource I'm getting authorization error. When I contacted my security people on this they are telling I'm not following the naming standards. They are telling that the data source name should start with Z.
All the inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
Generating a data source on a planning area in APO is really very helpful function we have. this will help us to save a lot lot time to generate cube/rules/source.
Definately, when system generates the data source it will follow its own logic "9A" which we can not change.
I guess you create a DataSource manually if required, where you can follow your own logic, but that is not really consistent as system generates. becuase when it generates, it will check for time char and all based on storage bucket profile and generates.
Hope my information will help you in understanding the importance of auto generation of data source
