SCM/APO - Livecache client copies?

The basis team have been asked to do a client copy (refresh) from
production for ECC, CRM, BW & SCM. I know how to perform the client copybut am not aware of what post processing has to happen with LC(Maxdb).
Does this have to be refreshed??? Please provide location of
documentation to perform this. I stress this is not a system copy but a
client copy.
Thanks & Regards,
Frank Magliozzi

(SCM-APO ) - LiveCache error - tp error : operable program or batch file

Dear Gurus,
On one our APO systems, I cannot administer liveCache, using database connection LCA, LDA, or LEA. Using LCA as an example, with
tcode LC10> liveCache Monitoring, I get this error:
Name and Server :    QDP - ntsapsc001
DBMRFC Function : DBM_CONNECT
Error : DBM Error
Return Code : -11
Error Message : tp error: operable program or batch file
Using tcode /sapapo/om13, I get these results:
liveCache connection to LCA      (GREEN)
liveCache Stat. from LCA     ???    (RED)
liveCache Initialization          001   (RED)
Using tcode SE38> program RSLVCINIT > database connection LCA, I get this error:
Error in DBMSERVER or DBMCLI
What is wrong ?
Thanks and regards,
cjperk90

In the syslog (tcode sm21), and on the NT server's syslog,
I also get these errors:
Database error -10709 at CON
> Connection failed (RTE:database not running)
Please advise.

How big is SCM/APO/Livecache/TM customer base?

Becuase these products are not used by some sectors such as finacial sector, etc., they
used to have a small customer base.
I have heard that now more companies start to use it.
Is that true? Thanks!

Hi Jennifer,
the answer to this depends on what you define as 'small'.
It's correct that many of the optimization functions are based in production and supply chain management and that they are used most often for this as well.
I'm not aware of any optimization option available for SCM that might be used for the financial/banking sectors - but hey, I'm just a database guy
Anyhow, there are literally thousands of active SCM/liveCache installations that are heavily used by our customers and that are and inevitable building block of their processes.
Hope that answers your question.
regards,
Lars

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?

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.

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.

SCM , APO and Livecache administration

Hi SAP Guru's
Can any one guide me what is role and responsibilities of SCM and APO and Live cache administration as part of Basis.
I will be great help if any one can guide me in SCM and APO and LIVE cache administration.
Waiting for Reply
Farooqui

Hi Farooqui
Since this Forum handling more application related topic, it is better to post your question in different Forum "MaxDB/liveCache ".
Above MaxDB/liveCache is handling more basis and liveCache related topic.
As a general information, SAP provides following documens that describe task and check point related to SCM system and liveCache. So I recommend you to check following 3 documents.
URL : http://service.sap.com/solutionmanagerbp
Number
44            System Monitoring for SAP APO (3.x) / mySAP SCM (4.x/5.0)
34            Monitoring and Administration for SCM / APO
42            Checklist for Recovery of SAP APO liveCache >= 7.4
Also there are some documents that describe liveCache behavior, so for better understanding,
I also recommend you to check following 2 documents. (The information is bit old. but it might be helpful to understand liveCache).

APO livecache logging with SCM 7

I am trying to understand how APO livecache logging works with APO release 7.
OSS Note 385808 suggests that, for APO DP release 3, there is no logging.
But what is the situation with APO release 7, for DP, SNP, PP/DS, GATP?
Thanks for any information on this point...

Hi,
We had upgraded SCM 4.1 to SCM 7.0. No need to change to DTP after upgrade. All the objects of previous version would be there and can be used as usual. But our BW upgrade is from 3.1 to BI 7.0.

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
SAP Basis.

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.

SAP SCM 2007 liveCache 7.7.0 Windows Server on x64 64bit ERROR

Hi All,

APP : IDES SCM 2007
Our Requirment is need to Install SCM 2007 with LiveCache, APO.
to Install SCM 2007.. We must need to have 2 DATABASES and 2 SID
1. One Oracle or SQL Database for SCM    (one SID)
2. 2nd for ONly MaxDB Database for LiveCache         (Another SID)
Can you please advice me.... here are the steps I done as of now.
oracle 10g Installation completed.
SCM IDES 2007 Installation Complted.
   (At the time SCM Installtion its prompt me for SID's for 2 times..
   I given Both SID Same (One for [SID-SCM]) and (Another for Live Cache[SID-SCM]) Then the Installation is successfully completed. but now when I run LC 10 is not working...
Name and Server : IE6 - XXXXXX
DBMRFC Funcation : DBM_CONNECT
ERROR : DBM ERROR
Return Code : -4
Error Message : database instance not found.
to over come from this issues do we need to Installl LIVECACHE SERVER SERVER ?
1. if we need to install livecache server.. I need to go for only for MAXDB.
2. In the MAXDB Instance I have to give the Instance name same as Live cache server SID ?
3. IF we need to Install livechache server, do we need to use SID same as SCM or different one?
4. SCM IDES and Live Cache is running one the same machine.
5. After this LiveCache server.. we need to Install livecache client also install... if the SCM IDES and Livecache running on same BOX and SAME OS.
can you help me on this.

Hello,
-> As SAP customer you have the option to create the OSS ticket to the component BC-DB-LVC to get SAP support.
->
"1. if we need to install livecache server.. I need to go for only for MAXDB."
You need to install the liveCache server of the 7.7 version, as you are installing SCM 2007 with LiveCache, APO.
Please follow the liveCache server installation guide.
"2. In the MAXDB Instance I have to give the Instance name same as Live cache server SID ?"
How many MAXDB/liveCache database instances are you planning to install on the liveCache server?
"3. IF we need to Install livechache server, do we need to use SID same as SCM or different one?"
The liveCache SID for the SCM system need to be unique on the liveCache server, you have only one database instance MAXDB/liveCache with this name, also you checked the restrictions for the names at
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary ->Database Name -> Conventions for Database Names
"4. SCM IDES and Live Cache is running one the same machine."
You could run SCM IDES and Live Cache on the same machine.
"5. After this LiveCache server.. we need to Install livecache client also install... if the SCM IDES and Livecache running on same BOX and SAME OS."
If the liveCache instance and application server are running on the same machine, you don't need to install the liveCache client software.
Please review the SAP notes::
822239     FAQ: MaxDB Interfaces
822271     FAQ: SAP MaxDB client software
-> Please update with output of the following commands:
     dbmcli -s inst_enum
     dbmcli -s db_enum
     sdbregview -l
     xinstinfo IE6

ECC - APO Integration (Client Copy)

Hello,
What if the source ECC client of APO has a new client(copy) and APO should connect to this new client. Should all master data be re-integrated from the new client? I would need your advise on this since when i was maintaining the publication settings for data to be transferred from APO for the new client, I noticed it warned that the plant i used was from another client.
Thanks.

Hi,
In client copies, you copy the "wrong" logical systems too. So you need to review the connectivity settings (logical system, business system group, assigning the right logical system to new client etc) thoroughly.
You once again need to generate and activate the integration models as the original models are referring to the old APO logical system. Please check all background job variants where the field logical system is involved e.g. CCR, RIMODAC2
Also ensure the consistency of live cache to the APO DB (GUID's). Check the mapping tables of master data.

Loknath

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

SCM-APO, SAP APO on SAP ERP

hi does anyone have detailed information how this works eg
what happens to the livecache in the traditional SCM APO system
and overvie presentation will be good
thanks
Andre Cronje

Hi Andre,
There can be a number of transitional steps to move from SCM with liveCache to ERP/SCM on HANA. The bottom line is that liveCache becomes part of the HANA database so there is no need for a separate liveCache server. SCM on HANA is generally available now. See SAP Note 1825703. I believe the following steps are representative. You'll have to consult with your SAP representative for the exact details.
Steps -> SCM w/ LC -> SCM w/ LC and HANA -> SCM w/ HANA -> SCM on ERP w/ HANA
You don't have to go through each step. I'm not sure when the consolidated ERP/SCM on HANA will be GA.

Mike

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.

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
Reddy
