please help
Thanks & Regds

Hi Manish
Yes, you would need a seperate server for Live Cache, we just completed installation of SCM 5.1 with LiveCache 7.7
Install the Live Cache 7.7 as per the install guide (This is MAX DB not Oracle) or the version you need on a seperate server.
You can do this install before you install SCM system, when you are in the install process of SCM system it will prompt you to enter LiveCache details. Or if you wish you can do it later.
IMP: There will not be any GUI to start and stop Live Cache alone, start and stop of Live Cache happens from SCM system using the transaction LC10.
Once both systems are up and running, use LC10 from SCM system to complete the post install steps and complete the configuration. DO NOT GET CONFUSED WITH POST INSTALLTION PART in the Live Cache install guide, these should be done from SCM system.
Backups: You need seperate backups for SCM and for LCA (Standard SAP naming convention for LiveCache Database)
Hope this helps. Let me know if you understand this.
Thanks

Ok, so what is the problem with that?
You use the liveCache quite heavily (e.g. make lots of commits/changes) and the storage where you put your log-volume to is not quick enough to save the data.
Either you fix the storage speed or you accept that your users might have to wait a bit longer for their application to save the data.

These two things have no connection.
A log queue overflow simply means, that sessions have to wait until the log queue is saved to disk before they can put new entries to the log queue.
The log mode overwrite means: you don't care about data security and the ability to recover the liveCache from a backup.
It's a setting used for throw-away database instances where it doesn't matter to loose data.
It means that the database simply overwrites log entries that have not been backed up, when the log area gets filled.

SCM-- Live cache trace on

Hi Experts ,
Recently I have encountered one issue in my SCM system .There was trace on in live cache due to that system's performance very slow and CPU utilisation was more than 80%.
I have checked in LC10 but i didnot find is trace on or off .I have checked all other standard live cache tcode as well but no luck
Could you please tell me how to check live cache trace is on or off and where it stores the trace data at OS level.how to deal performance issue in live cache.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks,
Arun

In LC10 click on "liveCache: Monitoring". Then execute the very first node in the navigation tree ("Properties"). There you'll see some flags such as Database Trace on/off, Command Monitor on/off, etc.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Vaibhav,
while using transaction LC10, the error 11 "tp error: Terminating. [nlsui0.c ...]" occurs. The user authorization with tp fails and the application server cannot connect to the liveCache.
I assumed, that it's due to a library version mismatch, tp cannot use the liveCahe UNICODE libraries.
Please check, that the tp call at the command line works properly. And a dbmcli call in the transaction SM49 with the tp options
(dbmcli ::
-d <LC-SID> -n <LC-servername> -tpp <profile> -tpi <system-SID>
-tpc <connection - LCA/LDA> dbm_version)
works also properly.
I recommend you to update the liveCache client software on the Application server.
If you've got access to OSS/Service Market Place, then please take a look at note
649814 how to update the liveCache client software on the application server.
< Please also review the SAP notes 847736 & 831108 >
Before the liveCache client version will be upgraded on the application
server you can use the workaround by switching off the central authorization for the liveCache LCA/LDA connections:
In transaction LC10, choose Integration and deactivate the option Central authorization, then save.
If you are the official SAP customer, I recommend you to create the ticket to SAP on 'BC-DB-LVC' queue.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Hi having a problem upgrading SCM 4.1 APO Live Cache

Hi I am new to SCM and I came into a project that was already started, I am doing a SUM upgrade and its at the upgrade of Live Cache I need to run the report /SAPAPO/OM_LC_UPGRADE_70 and perform all steps in section A. when I try to run the report it comes back "No shared library for the database with ID LCA" I checked LC10 and saw in the Settings that the database is still pointing back to the source system it was copied from. Like I said I walked into this in the middle the they are upgrading from SCM 4.1 to 7.0EHP3 on SQL 2012 and Windows 2012 so they built the 2012 Vm installed the Central services and when they installed the DB it was an attach / detach method and I installed the DB instance. Question should any of the file directories have come with the attach db there are no sapdb in the directories do I just install the live cache and that installs the maxdb and makes the directories /sapdb/ because I see them in the source system? I tried installing the live cache that came with the original system but it had errors.

Data fetch from live cache

How can I retrieve data from live cache?This is in Demand Planning : SCM APO.
Please suggest ways.
Thanks & Regards,
Savitha

Hi,
some time ago I worked on SAP APO.
To read live cache, you first have to open a SIM session.
You can do this as shown in this function module:
FUNCTION ZS_SIMSESSION_GET.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(IV_SIMID) TYPE /SAPAPO/VRSIOID
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(EV_SIMSESSION) TYPE /SAPAPO/OM_SIMSESSION
CONSTANTS:
lc_simsession_new       TYPE c LENGTH 1 VALUE 'N'.
DATA:
lt_rc                   TYPE /sapapo/om_lc_rc_tab,
lv_simsession           LIKE ev_simsession.
IF NOT ev_simsession IS INITIAL.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
*--> create Simsession
CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CREATE'
    IMPORTING
      ev_guid_22 = lv_simsession.
*--> create transactional simulation
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TSIM_SIMULATION_CONTRL'
    EXPORTING
      iv_simversion            = iv_simid
      iv_simsession            = lv_simsession
      iv_simsession_method     = lc_simsession_new
      iv_perform_commit        = space
    IMPORTING
      et_rc                    = lt_rc
    EXCEPTIONS
      lc_connect_failed        = 1
      lc_com_error             = 2
      lc_appl_error            = 3
      multi_tasim_registration = 4.
IF sy-subrc > 0.
    CLEAR ev_simsession.
*   error can be found in lt_rc
ENDIF.
* return simsession
ev_simsession = lv_simsession.
ENDFUNCTION.
Then you can access the live cache.
In this case we read an order (if I rememver correctly, it's a plan order):
DATA:
lv_vrsioid                  TYPE /sapapo/vrsioid,
lv_simsession           TYPE /sapapo/om_simsession.
* Get vrsioid
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/DM_VRSIOEX_GET_VRSIOID'
    EXPORTING
      i_vrsioex_fld = '000' "By default
    IMPORTING
      e_vrsioid_fld = lv_vrsioid
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found     = 1
      OTHERS        = 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZS_SIMSESSION_GET'
      EXPORTING
        iv_simid      = iv_vrsioid
      IMPORTING
        ev_simsession = lv_simsession.
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/RRP_LC_ORDER_GET_DATA'
    EXPORTING
      iv_order      = iv_orderid
      iv_simversion = iv_vrsioid
    IMPORTING
      et_outputs    = lt_outputs
      et_inputs     = lt_inputs.
If you change something in your simsession, you have to merge it back afterwards, so that your changes become effective.
You can do this like that:
* Merge simulation version (to commit order changes)
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TSIM_SIMULATION_CONTRL'
    EXPORTING
      iv_simversion                = lv_vrsioid
      iv_simsession                = lv_simsession
      iv_simsession_method         = 'M'
    EXCEPTIONS
      lc_connect_failed            = 1
      lc_com_error                 = 2
      lc_appl_error                = 3
      multi_tasim_registration     = 4
      target_deleted_saveas_failed = 5
      OTHERS                       = 6.
I hope this helps...

Unable to login to Live Cache

Hi,
I've just completed an SCM 2007 Installation alongwith the live cache.
However, when I try to login to the LC using the dbmcli command (user control/superdba & the pwds. set during installation), it gives the foll. error:
-24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User Authorization failed.
Also, I'm not able to use LC10-->Live Cache Monitoring
Pls help, since it's extremely urgent.
Thanks a lot,
Saba.

Hello Saba,
-> For SAP liveCache documentation in English see the SAP note 767598.
-> In general, the error could be due the wrong password of the dbm user.
     For example, I created the database instance NLK with the control user and
    control password. If I will try to connect to the database with wrong password
    I will get this error ::
                                 dbmcli -d NLK -u control,test
                                 Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database NLK:
                                 -24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed
-> You are running SCM 2007 < SCM 5.1 > system, therefore you are SAP customer.
    Please create the SAP ticket concerning this issue => we could logon via OSS and check the status of your system.
    Please set 'high' priority of the ticket, if it's extremely urgent.
    If it's the DEMO or PROD system you could escalate the message to 'VH'.

Some concern about Live cache Homogeneous System copy

Hi All,
I need to do the Homogeneous system copy SCM 5.0 / Live cache 7.6.00 on AIX. Following are the Source and target System SID for Live cache. Moreover I had check the respective SAP note 457425 and 877203 but still having some concern.
Source System
Live cache SID           =      SCD
Live cache user ID      =      SAPSCD
Live Database instant software owner = scdadm
Live cache Data Size      = 8 GB ( 4 Data volume / 2 GB each / auto extend off)
Target System
Live cache SID           =      SCT
Live cache user ID      =      SAPSCT
Live Database instant software owner = sctadm
Live cache Data Size      = 4 GB ( 2 Data volume / 2 GB each / auto extend off)
For same I having following concern.
1.     Since there is difference between source system and target system size / data volume number what action I need to take on target system. Do I need to add two more data volume into the target system?
2.     After complication of database restore on target the system do I need to change the Live cache user ID (i.e. SAPSCD to SAPSCT)?
or
It is just fine to change the log on data in Integration tab in LC10.
Please let me know some more information on same.
Thanks,
Harshal

Hello Harshal,
"1. Since there is difference between source system and target system size / data volume number what action I need to take on target system. Do I need to add two more data volume into the target system?"
Please pay attention to the SAP note :: 457425    Homogenous liveCache copy using backup/restore
Please update the thread withy additional information ::
What is the version of the source liveCache? What is the version of the target liveCache?
How much data do you have in the source liveCache?
And you need to have the size data area of the target liveCache to be able to restore the databackup created in the source liveCache.
So by the size of the data volumes in the source liveCache, it's not clear how much data you have.
"2. After complication of database restore on target the system do I need to change the Live cache user ID (i.e. SAPSCD to SAPSCT)?"
Please review the SAP note 877203.
You could rename the user SAPSCD to SAPSCT using the SAP note 877203 steps
OR
You could have the user SAPSCD in the target liveCache as Standard liveCache user &
After you run the homogenous liveCache copy using backup/restore procedure you need
to change the LCA/LDA/LEA connection with user SAPSCD on target system and
set the user SAPSCD to the user containers ( please see the SAP note 616555 for more details )
Before to restart the liveCache in LC10.
PS: Please pay attention about the value of the liveCache parameter _UNICODE.
      What are the values of this parameter in the source & target liveCache?
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

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

Live cache lock handler not available

Hi we are frequently getting this error Live cache lock handler not available and this causes our process chains to fail.
Can anyone please explain in details what this error refers to and direct to any good links for error resolution.

Hello,
1. As SAP customer, you could create the SAP message to the component BC-DB-LCA and get SAP support.
2. If you set the flag 'activate livecache lock' in tcode /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN for your planning area on SCM system, please run the connection test for the LEA connection in /ndb59 to check the LEA connection settings.
The liveCache installation guide has additional information about LEA connection.

Live Cache config prob!!!!!!

Dear All,
I have just installed IDES of SCM 5.0 and scheduled and released the default jobs from sm36. But from sm37 I can see that the jobs are getting cancelled .
1)" Connection to LiveCache Failed " .
2)" LiveCache Lock Server not Accessible " .
I have installed ABAP + JAVA and logged in client 001.
Please advice ........
Regards,
Souren

Hi Natalia,
Thanks for the reply.
Ours is win2k3 32 bit system where we have installed :
(1) Oracle 10.2 &
(2) SCM 5.0 server (Central System Installation).
During Installation, SAPinst asked for Live cache related details (eg, Live Cache ID - we have given LC1, Control user's Pwd etc) along with the installation DVD for the same - where we have given the DVD 51032259_11 (NW 2004s SR2 liveCache 7.6.0 Windows Server on IA32 32bit).
The installation completed successfully. Our SCM system id is SR3.
**Does this mean that Live Cache Server got installed ??
After the above installation, we have referred the "Installation - SAP liveCache Technology on Win - NW 7.0 SR2" and tried to do the post installation steps (Assuming that Live cache got installed )
We created the RFC user with all the authorizations as described in the SAP note for the same.
During the post installation step :
dbmcli d <SID> -u <controluser>,<password> db_offline,
we got the following error:
ERROR! Connection failed to node <LOCAL> for database <SID>:
Database instance not found.
We tried with both SR3 & LC1 as SID but the result is same.
Further, we tried the next post installation step using LC10.
After Integrating LCA,LDA & LEA, when we tried to "monitor" the Live Cache (by clicking the Live Cache: Monitoring button), we got the following error:
DBMRFC Function : DBM_CONNECT
Error :DBM Error
Return Code : -4
Error Message database instance not found
How should we proceed now??
Thanks & Regards,
Souren
