SAP ME Data Collection setup

Hello Experts!
We are trying to set up data collection for following scenario:
Typically our order quantity can vary from 1000 - 5000 pcs and we want to create only one SFC per shop order. We want to collect data after a fixed number of pcs are reported, for example, after every 100 pcs reported. So in above example number of iterations for data collection could vary from 10 - 50.
We see that there are two fields "Required Data Entries" & "Optional Data Entries" in the Data Collection parameter detail tab but looks like those are for static values but we want this to change based on order quantity.
Also we noticed another issue with these fields for our scenario, if we use "Required Data Entries" field then user has to collect all the iterations together but that is not possible since we are collecting after reporting a certain qty. If we use "Optional Data Entries" then system allow the user to collect multiple times but the pop-up does not indicate how many iterations are already collected which is confusing for the users.
Has anyone else had any experience with a similar scenario?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Venkat,
To collect data against the same SFC several times you should enable the corresponding System Rule 'Allow Multiple Data Colelction'. The "Optional Data Entries" rather controls the number of optional entries that you can enter (i.e. you measure temperature of SFC and need to enter several measures for a single Data Collection).
As long as you enable the system rule, it will be up to you when to collect it. But there is no standard functionality to force it after certain Qty of SFC processed. You'll need a customization for it.

SAP Personnel Cost Planning - Data Collection Employee not providing hours

Hello,
I am implementing SAP PCP and have created a 'Salaries; Cost Item. It has both Salary $ (1003) wagetypes and an Hour amount (1305 Normal hours) wagetype attached to it. When I run data collection, I only get the $ amounts for Infotype 0666. Is there a setting I have missed in order to bring the Hour Amounts into the 'Salaries' Cost Item in Infotype 0666?
Conversly, I checked the SAP help and it looks like I can also bring in Hours via another Cost Item and attach that to a Statistical Key Figure. However, I can't see where I can attach a WT (hours) to the Statistical Key Figure.
Can anyone help me out? I appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks
Alex

1) Create a new cost item of the Statistical Key Figure Type
2) Create a symbolic account
3) Assign the Hours wage type to the symbolic account
4) Assign the cost item to the symbolic account
That way the Hour wage type will then be related to the Cost Item. The issue you may have is if the Hour wage type is already assigned to post to an existing symbolic account.
Hope this helps.

SAP data collection framework - owner change

Hi,
in the data collection framework there is an owner assigned to all data collectors. In general the owner is the SID system itself.
If another system (i.e. solman) is connected to the system, the owner of the data collector changes to that system.
The data collection does not work any longer and creates a lot of errors.
I can change back the owner, but it changes immediately to the connected system.
Why does the data collector not work with the "foreign" owner? And why does the owner change at all?
Best regards
Arne

Dear Mr. Knoeller,
Your SAP_BASIS SP and release would be helpful, both for SolMan and the managed system.
Until then, could you please check the following notes and KBAs, in this order:
1927012 - SYB: DBACockpit shows warnings about data collectors not
being properly set up or having a different version
1972114 - SYB: Error in DCF ownership transfer - should solve your issue in my opinion
1712802 - SYB: Change ownership of Data Collection Framework /
ATM
1623182 - SYB: Authorization issues in DBACockpit
In case this is a test system, if the mentioned notes do not offer you a propper resolution, I would also drop all the collectors (Framework Collecter would be the last one, of course) and reassign it to Solution Manager. This also depends on your NW release, SP and DBA Cockpit rellease.
Relevant notes regarding DBA Cockpit version known by me:
1757928 - SYB: DBA Cockpit Release Notes 7.02 SP11, 7.30 SP6, 7.31

BPMon Setup: Check user for data collection

Dear experts,
I'm trying to configure Business Process Monitoring in our Solution Manager system and I'm stuck in the step "Check User for Data Collection". See screenshot. I mark this row and click on "Execute Selected". A background job is scheduled and finishes after some 6 seconds, But this step is still marked as "Activity not yet performed". Any idea how this can be solved? I read the documentation, notes and the troubleshooting guide but found nothing about this specific problem.
Many thanks for any help!
Calin

Hi Calin
The status will remain grey as long as there are clients in the managed system that have not been connected to the Solution Manager.
However, if there are clients the you would not like to connect to Solman on purpose, he can simply set the execution status to “manually performed”, then the activity will be set to green. I have attached some screen shots from a test system so you can see what I mean.

How to perform Data Collection on single SFC with QTY = 1 with material lot size 1?

Dear experts,
We are working with SFC qty>1 on a relaxed routing. At a given operation we want to collect the data on single quantity; i.e. SFC qty on that operation, where the collection will happen, will be 1.The corresponding material lot size is for ex 10. The operator must be able to collect data on SFC with qty=1 multiple times until the quantities will be consumed. He must be also able to collect other values on the remaining quantities on the same operation with the same DC group or other DC groups. How many times the data must be collected is dependent on the shop order build quantity. The data may be collected several time but not more than the build qty. In other words some specific data will be collected on a qty of a product while others will be collected against remaining quantity. The data collection must be also done in a serialized manner.
Here's what we have set up so far:
1) 3 DC groups, each DC group has 3 data fields.
2) Each data field has the following restrictions: Required Data Entries = 0 and Optional Data Entries = 1
3) All DC groups are attached on the same combination of operation\material\routing
4) we are using relaxed routing
Process description:
The operator must be able to collect any data field on single product. For that he will enter the operation where the data collect are attached, he will enter the SFC with qty=1 then he will run the data collection after selecting the appropriate DC Group and entering the needed information. The operator will complete the SFC with qty=1.
The operator will pick the next product, select the same SFC and enter qty 1 and collect other value against this product.
Problem is:
Once the first collection is done on a given SFC with entered qty=1, the system is not allowing the operator to do further collects on the same SFC with qty=1 or any other quantity. He cannot select any DC group from the DC group list. We tried also with the table selection menu on the DC Group list but nothing can be selected.
So we tried to play around with the DC group definitions as follows:
A) we set Required Data Entries = 0 and Optional Data Entries = 10. Still the operator was not able to select any DC group after collecting data the first time. We tried to reopen the pod and list again. But we get the same blocking behavior.
B) we set Required Data Entries = 10 and Optional Data Entries = 1. The operator was able to select the DC group after collecting data the first time. BUT operator must enter the data fields 10 times on one SFC quantity, which is not what we want. Besides again he cannot collect other information on remaining quantities on the same operation.
C) There's an option to serialize the SFC before reaching the operation where the collection is happening, then merging ofter complete. Automation is needed here; hence customization. We are highly avoiding customization now, since we expect the data collect to work well on single quantities even when the main SFC has qty>1
Questions:
1) Are we missing any kind of further configuration\setup?
2) Or the current system design does not allow collecting data on single quantities of an SFC which main quantity is greater than 1?
3) Looking at this link Approaches to Collection of Data - SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME) - SAP Library, there's nothing mentioned about same SFC number with multiple quantities!!!
We are using SAP ME 15.0.3.0.
Thanks in advance for your help

Ali
to collect data for the same SFC multiple times, your system rule "Allow Multiple Data Collection" needs to be set to true for the site.

CCMS monitoring data collection

Hi,
I have set up CCMS to show alerts for inbound IDOC errors.
This seems to be working correctly, but the status is not being updated when the data collection method is being run. The data collection is set to run once per hour.
best regards,
Jason.

Hello Jason,
the IDOC monitoring functionality in CCMS is somewhat limited and cumbersome to set up via transaction BDMO. Far more sophisticated is the corresponding capability in Business Process Monitoring where you can monitor IDOCs regarding certain status and there it is also possible to monitor with a higher frequncy than just one hour.
More information on IDOC monitoring and other interface monitoring capabilities can be found in the corresponding Setup Guide from Q4/2008 that you find under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Technical Information.

How to Check UPL data collection at Solution Manager

Hello,
I had activated UPL data collection as per the document How to Guide –SAP Custom Code Management Usage and Procedure Logging.
I can check UPL data in my managed system by Report “/SDF/SHOW_UPL"
But I am not able to get the same data in Solution Manager by this same repot (/SDF/SHOW_UPL).
When I run this report in solman it show me only Solution manager data.
How I can read Manage System data in Solman? And what are the check point (for both Solman and Manage system) I need to check for ensuring my UPL date collection is working fine.

Set up CCLM and the custom code setup and you will be able to view UPL data that way,

SMD installation - Initial Data Collect ERROR

I installed the SMD on several machines already, SP13 and NW2004 are used. When I try to configure the production system, I get this error:
Initial Data Collect ERROR for host sapbp5a0.agfa.be
!! Exception : Thu Jul 17 13:57:39 MEST 2008 | storeHost(...):Host [][sapbp5a0][10.233.9.188][/usr/sap/BP5/]:Cannot insert/update the host '[IHost: key=1216295859558156, hostName=sapbp5a0, hostFullQualifiedName=, serverName=sapbp5a0, ip=10.233.9.188, agentHostName=sapbp5a0, agentFullQualifiedName=sapbp5a0.agfa.be, agentIp=10.233.9.188, path=/usr/sap/BP5/, pathName=null, SmStatus=U, creation=Thu Jul 17 13:57:39 MEST 2008]'! Please see log for next error(s).
We (I) know we need to input the hostFullQualifiedName somewhere, but we cannot find the place to put it. Can anyone please give us a clue to where we need to put this?

Hi, thank you for the input, but I think I gave too little information. Let me elaborate:
The monitoring system we are using is YP5, the monitored system is BP5. On BP5 is where the problem is situated. I installed the SMD according to the SAP specs and now I am at the end of the installation, just before installing the Wily.
I log on via http://sapyp5a0.agfa.be:55100/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcsmdnavigation/SmdNavigation to setup the final things (collection of data and so on, running Wily, ...) and this is where I get the error, after I entered all the correct information.
We checked the SLD settings in ABAP and everything is connecting as it should.
Anyone has any more ideas where we could look?

Howdy,
DATA COLLECTION - refers to a database table or view. This is the data that the search help will search through and display based on the parameters provided, so you can create your own view for the search help if you want the search to cover multiple tables.
SEARCH HELP EXIT - You can create a function module to be able to alter the Search Help's selection and results at various events throughout the search help. An example of this function module is provided with some documentation in function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE.

Data collection table in database

Hi,
In our SAP ME WIP databse we are not able to see the parameter values for data collection ,as entered by operator.
We tried searchin in WIP db as system rule setting for '
Store Data Collection Results in ODS ' is false.
Are there any other settings apart from those mentioned in "how-to-guide" for datacollection that stores data in ODS database?
Or are we going wrong somewhere?
Attached is the reccomended landscape that we have used in our project.

P.S.

I think this post is in the wrong forum, but what table are you looking in for your data?
Did you figure out the answer to this problem?

Standard Data Collection Failing with Error ORA-04054: database link does not exist.

Hi Gurus,
When I am running Standard Data Collection in ASCP(APS) instance R12.1.3, its failing with error : ORA-04054: database link does not exist.
There is no such Database link exits which is showing in above error.
Also the database link name in the above error is not profile values in the database.
I think, concurrent might be fetching this database link name from some tables related to plan.
I am not having much knowledge about how this ASCP/APS works.
Need your help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
ASCP Collections looks at the dblink from instances definitions from.

Data Collection

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue in Data collection Error in Decentralized environment.
Earlier Data collection (Standard collection) was working normal but recently I am facing the below issue.
If I launch Standard collection, it is getting Error out. Log file message (in Data pull Program) is Staging Tables' data is not collected. Please submit the request Planning ODS Load.
For resolving the above, I tried the below two methods.
1. 1st launch Planning data collection - purging staging tables then Launching Standard collection, but it is also fails with error in the program "APS Collections Miscellaneous Task". Error message : FDPSTP failed due to ORA-06512: at "APPS.MSC_UTIL", line 1192.
2. launch Planning data collection - purging staging table, Data pull (manual launch) then Planning ODS load (manual launch). Same error message
But, I am getting negative result.
Hence, what is the missing setup. Is this need any profile option. or How to solve this.
Appreciating your earlier answer.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi
Package is Valid (I used the said query "select object_name, object_type, status from all_objects where object_name = 'MSC_UTIL'")
Data collection issue is not resolving. Below are my tryings
Try 1:
1. I launched "Planning Data Collection - Purge Staging Tables" with validation = No (Later I tried with Validation = Yes also) then
2. I launched Standard Collection (as standard way)
Result:
Planning ODS Load getting Error out, log file showing below error
Exceptions posted by this request
Concurrent Request for "Planning ODS Load" has completed with Error.
Try 2:
1. I launched "Planning Data Collection - Purge Staging Tables" with validation = No (Later I tried with Validation = Yes also) then
2. I launched "Planning Data Pull" manually (Completed Normal) then
3. I launched "Planning ODS Load" manually

I tried running a repair on the SQL Server installation.
This solved the problem.
Only thing is that now I have to figure out the mening of these last lines in the log of the repair:

ASCP Data Collection Fails

Dear Members :
For sake of learning, ATP in R12.1.1 Vision instance, I created a simple ATP rule with Demand as Sales Order and Supply as PO, On-hand Available.
I followed all the steps as below:
1) After creating ATP rule and attaching it to the order mgmt tab in item master, enabled ATP at the org level.
2) created sourcing rule for that item and assigned it to an assignment set(Supplier Scheduling).
3) This assignment set appears by default to MRP:ATP assignment set profile option
4) Set INV : Capable to Promise to ATP/CTP based on collected data, at responsibility level
5) Include organizations to instance TST(default)
6) Run ATP Data collection Program.
RCS is errored out with User-Defined Exception (Source Setup Objects Creation Requests did not complete Successfully) along with Collection Triggers/Views errored out with
Error with creating Source Triggers/Views
Is it my setup problem or patch I need to apply, if you could please guide ?
