SCM-Optimizer question

Hi All
Can anyone please point me document or let me know what  is the need of SAP SCM 5.1 u2013 SCM Optimizer.  I am  trying to understand what SCM component uses SCM-Optimizer. 
Thanks Everyone.

Hi,
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/scm
http://service.sap.com/notes ---> Note 1019666 - Installing SCM Optimizer Version 5.1
Note 1165080 - SCM Optimizer 5.1 Support Package 06
You can find the SAR archive of the optimizer in the SAP Software Distribution Center (http://service.sap.com/patches) under the menu path "Entry by Application Group -> SAP application components
-> SAP SCM -> SAP SCM 2007 -> Entry by Component -> SCM Optimizer -> SAP SCM Optimizer 5.1 -> <platform>"

    Hi Kheer,
    As per i know, there is NO standard function module or program by this name '/SAPAPO/OPT_SVR_CALL' in SCM system.
    But anyways, you can check in your SCM systems but not in Optimizer.
    Go to transaction - se37 & se38 for checking for both function module and programs respectively.
    note - you may just put /sapapo* and press f4 to see the list of the function modules or programes in your system.
    I hope this will help you in concluding the issue.

  • SCM Optimizer  Installation ?

    We have installed SCM 5.0 with livecache 7.6; How to make sure SCM Optimizer  is installed in my system or not and we are early birds on SCM System
    How to identify SCM Optimizer  installed or not ? if installed what version ?
    Help Please
    Rgds
    PR

    Hi,
    You need to login to your SCM system. Tcode SM59
    Look for TCP/IP RFCs containing following names.
    cso
    ctm
    dso*
    mmp*
    seq
    snp
    There will be 6 RFCS pointing to yout Optimizer server.
    If these are missing then Optimizer installation is Not done.
    Incase Optimizer is installed, you can check the version as follows
    Login to Optimizer machine.
    Traverse to the path where optimizer is installed. for eg.  /apoopt/dps_tmp/bin
    run the command  
    "/apoopt/dps_tmp/bin/dsoptsvr -version" -> This will display version of executable dsoptsvr
    Similarly you can repeat the command for other executables. All the executables will be stored under
    /apoopt/<CTM>/bin/ctmoptsvr.exe
    /apoopt/<CSO>/bin/csooptsvr.exe
    etc.
    Hope this helps.

Can you give some examples of what type of Output Files you are talking about. Iam fairly new to Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium. I am presently usiung Premiere and Encore as well as After Effects. I just want to make sure as to what files will be going tomy Output Raid Drive.  I am thinking that one of them may the file created when you export out of Premiere wo Media Encoder.
    Thanks for the help and keep up the Tutorials.

  • SCM optimizer CPU utilization mostly 0%

    Hello All,
    My SAP and DB are running on the same host. And its an SCM 5.0 system.
    I observed that the idle time is always 100% for the optimizer.
    Can anyone please elaborate the role of this optmizer and why the idle time is always 100.
    for my SCM system, the CPU utlization keeps varying which is normal, but i dont get the role of optmizer.
    Please let me know.

    Thanks a lot again for the reply.
    I have checked  in /sapapo/opt11 and I am able to see only SNP related logs however the status are in yellow and when I click the log buttun it throws a pop with a message that "no log exist".
    And in SM59, under TCP/IP i can see 4 rfc connections (OPTSERVER_SNP01, OPTSERVER_SNP02, OPTSERVER_DPS01, OPTSERVER_DPS02) and for all these connection test is working successfully.
    So from this can I canclude that the planning method are not being used and for that reason CPU Utilization is 0%?

  • SCM certification Questions?

    Hi,
    In the SCM certification exam can we get some questions like....
    What is the transaction code to configure the company?
    Here the answer is OX15.
    But do we need to actually learn the configuration transaction codes or the knowledge of the navigation path helps(Will do)?
    IMG->Enterprise Structure->Definition-> Financial Accounting-> Define Company.
    I understand that we memorize a lot of TCODES like ME22n for PO etc......while working on them.....
    but I am not sure if we got to memorize the configuration tcodes too...
    Can someone please let me know if this kinda questions will be asked?
    I am sorry...I couldn't find information on the certification Questions pattern online...
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    The book SAP MM - Functionality and technical configuration - By Martin Murray is a basic source it can not be your on source to do the test.
    The academy books (TSCM50 and TSCM52) have several questions similar to the test.
    Here some examples:
    - Delivery schedule lines can be stored in every purchasing document. True or False
    - Which are the Organizational Levels that you can define Service Master Conditions? Company code, plant...?
    - Which of the following ways of handling cash discount are possible?
    - Which indicator must be set in the source list for a source of supply in order for this source to
    be taken into account in requirements planning?
    I don't think that you need to memorize the customizing t code but you need to know what you can do on customizing.
    Take a look on competency areas covered in the test. Be sure that you covered eveything because every point is important. I saw some people failing because never study or saw solution manager.
    good luck!

  • Rman backup optimization question

    Hi,
    I have come across a RAM related question and would like to understand the answer:
    The RMAN configuration has backup optimization set to ON. Which of the following commands will this setting affect?
    a) Backup Archivelog with ALL or LIKE options, b) Backup Backupset ALL, c) Backup Tablespace, d) Backup Database
    I believe all of the above are affected by backup optimization, however, only a, b and d seems correct, not c. I wonder why tablespace is not affected - it does not say read only, etc.?
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response!
    Meanwhile I did a few tests below, and yes, tablespace does obviously not use backup optimization. But why? Doesn't the same like backup database apply? Isn't using the same retention policy?
    RMAN> backup database;
    skipping datafile 5; already backed up 2 time(s)
    RMAN> backup archivelog ALL;
    skipping archived log file /u02/fra/ORCL/ar...; already backed up 1 time(s)

    input datafile file number=00005

  • Import/optimize question

    I'm importing videos shot with my digital camera which takes great HD movies. I notice when I import them into iMovie 11, some of them will come out more grainy than the original. I'm selecting the Optimize video checkbox when importing. Is this what's causing the problem? I don't quite understand what the Optimize function is all about. I see some iMovies which other have made that are just crystal clear but a few of my clips, especially ones which are a bit darker, come out in a lower quality once they've been imported. Not sure of the proper way to do this. Any ideas/suggestions? Should I always be optimizing my video imports and if so, how do I get them to be as crystal clear as the originals? The movies my camera takes are 30fps Motion JPEG. They are 1280 x 720 HD and the QT info panel says:
    Photo - JPEG, 1280 x 720, Millions
    Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 16000 Hz

    Optimize usually indicates that iMovie is translating the videos into the Apple Intermediate Codec format so that iMovie can easily preview and edit the video accurately down to the 1/30th of a second video frame. If you don't want iMovie to do that, you can import it not optimized and Full Size as well just to force iMovie to touch the video a little less as compared to Large Size and Optimized. Might try just doing a test with one batch of Events coming in (don't erase the clips off the camera) then re-import with the Full Size, unoptimized settings and see if you can tell a difference between the two settings. Full Size, unoptimized is going to take up a lot of Hard Drive space so be aware there's no free lunch when choosing those settings (Full Size = Large File sizes)

  • Simple string optimization question

    ABAPpers,
    Here is the problem description:
    In a SELECT query loop, I need to build a string by concatenating all the column values for the current row. Each column is represented as a length-value pair. For example, let's say the current values are:
    Column1 (type string)  : 'abc          '
    Column2 (type integer) : 7792
    Column3 (type string)  : 'def                    '
    The resulting string must be of the form:
    0003abc000477920003def...
    The length is always represented by a four character value, followed by the actual value.
    Note that the input columns may be of mixed types - numeric, string, date-time, etc.
    Given that data is of mixed type and that the length of each string-type value is not known in advance, can someone suggest a good algorithm to build such a result? Or, is there any built-in function that already does something similar?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Pradeep

    Hi,
    At the bottom of this message, I have posted a program that I currently wrote. Essentially, as I know the size of each "string" type column, I use a specific function to built the string. For any non-string type column, I assume that the length can never exceed 25 characters. As I fill 255 characters in the output buffer, I have to write the output buffer to screen.
    The reason I have so many functions for each string type is that I wanted to optimize concatenate operation. Had I used just one function with the large buffer, then "concatenate" statement takes additional time to fill the remaining part of the buffer with spaces.
    As my experience in ABAP programming is limited to just a couple of days, I'd appreciate it if someone can suggest me a better way to deal with my problem.
    Thank you in advanced for all your help. Sorry about posting such a large piece of code. I just wanted to show you the complexity that I have created for myself :-(.

  • Font embed and PDF optimizer question

    using Quark 7, Acrobat 8 professional, non-intel mac OS10.4.11. According to the quark dialog, the fonts are imbedded. When I look in PDF optimizer, the fonts don't show up. Does this mean they were never imbedded? Also, when I save a file as PDF optimized I get a zero kb figure in the finder panel. Is this correct?
    Thanks

    Although you may have embedding turned on, Doesn't necessarily mean That fonts are embedded. Only fonts that allowed to be embedded, are those from Adobe, plus other font houses that have agreements with Adobe to allo it. If your trying to embed MicroSoft Fonts. Forget it it They share nothing with anyone. And The chace of it happening are about like the old say saying The chances of it happening are *Slim* and *None* *and Slim just left town*.
    Also if you receive a PDF form someone else. They may have run through Optimizer to reduce the size and removed all instances of Embedded font.
    If you use common fonts between windows and Apple say for example Ariel There should only be subtle differences in the look of the PDF if you have use system fonts turned on.

  • Optimizer questions

    Hello, I am pretty new to Oracle. Now I have something strange on the optimizer looking at explain plan.
    I have a fact table and several dimension tables. I want to get the Max value of a field from the fact table. And it's extremely slow.
    If i don't use Max function, it returns within 3 sec. If i do, it takes 5~10 minutes.
    Each dim table with its condition returns the result within 1 sec. Searching the dim table keys in the fact table returns within a couple of seconds (The fact table has millions of records. May be more than that).
    And the explain plan looks strange.
    If I join 2 dimension tables, the Max function seems to run after all joining.
    Explain plan looks like this as I expected:
    Hash (GROUP BY)
             NL ...
                       Index Unique Scan (Dim table 1)
                       Index Range Scan (Dim table 2)
                   Partition Range
                Partition Range
    But, if i join 3 dimension tables, the Max function seems to run before all joining
    Explain plan looks like this:
    Temp table transformation
         Load as select
              View
                   Filter predicates (Dim table 1)
                   Hash Join
                        Access Predicates (ROWID = ROWID)
                        Index Range scan (Dim table 1 again?)
         Load as select
              Table access by index rowid
                   index range scan (Dim table 2)
         Hash (group by) <== this runs here after joining only 1 dim table with the fact table
              Nested loops
                   Hash join
                        access predicates
                        inlist iterator
                             table access by global index rowid
                                  index unique scan (Dim table 3)
                        View
                             Nested loops
                                  partition range (subquery)
                                       partition list (subquery)
                                            bitmap conversion (to rowids)
                                                      access predicates (FACT_TABLE.KEY_OF_DIMTABLE3 = C0 <=== what is C0?)
                                                 BITMAP MERGE
                                                      BITMAP KEY ITERAION                                                                                                    
                                                           BUFFER(SORT)
                                                                TABLE ACCESS (FULL <==== why full?)
                                                           BITMAP INDEX (RANGE SCAN)
                                                                ACCESS PREDICATES (FACT_TABLE.KEY_OF_DIMTABLE2 = C0 <== why use key of dim table 2 here although the condition of dim table was calculated already)
    Add just one more table shows not only the much more complex explain plan, but much slower performance. Does it really run the Max function before joining all tables so that it runs on so many rows?
    If it is so, what can I do to run it after joining all tables so that it can run on the reduced number of records?
    Please help me! Thank you                                                              

    the decisions of the optimizer are cost based: there are a lot of (more or less) complex calculations used to determine the plan that seems to be the most appropriate choice to the optimizer. Depending on the statistics (on which the calculation is based) and some limitations of the calculation model this decision is good in many cases, not bad in a lot of cases - and not so good in some other cases. So an additional join and the use of a function can lead to a plan that needs much more resources and multiplies the execution time. (Since I have worked with some other RDBMS I think it's save to say that the Oracle optimizer is quite good in doing its job)
    That said I would suggest that you add the complete execution plans since your representation shows the operations but not the costing. If you can also add rowsource statistics (with the gather_plan_hint or a fitting statistics_level) this would make the analysis simpler.
    You could also take a look at https://blogs.oracle.com/optimizer/entry/star_transformation since your query seems to be based on a classical star schema and there are some options provided by Oracle to improve the access in such cases.

    say a table(tab1) have two columns col1,col2
    now when i see the execution plan of the two following queries they are same but is there any difference between these two queries?
    select *from tab1
    select col1,col2 from tab1

    Certainly there are ways to make one query faster than the other. However this would require some extreme circumstances. Even your scenario is not neccessarily under those.
    SQL> create table tab1 (col1 number(1), col2 number(5));
    Table created.
    SQL> create index ixtest on tab1(col1, col2);
    Index created.
    SQL> insert into tab1 (col1, col2)
      2  (select mod(rn, 5), mod(rn,10)
      3   from (select level rn from dual connect by level < 10000));
    9999 rows created.
    SQL> explain plan for select *from tab1
      2  ;
    explained.
    SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display());
    PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
    | Id  | Operation            |  Name       | Rows  | Bytes | Cost  |
    |   0 | SELECT STATEMENT     |             |       |       |       |
    |   1 |  TABLE ACCESS FULL   | TAB1        |       |       |       |
    Note: rule based optimization, PLAN_TABLE' is old version

    Hi
    I am making my new website in iweb, and i am a composer with a fairly large portfolio.
    I need to be able to show potential clients lots of bits of different genres to get across the idea of what i am capable of. Trouble is that i am not really up on how to get things loading fast enough to be useable. So the things I need to know are these:
    1. What bit rate of mp3 is high enough to be good enough for showing off audio (bearing in mind that i am a composer and the quality is important) but small enough to load quickly into most browsers?
    2. How long an audio clip is sensible for this purpose?
    3. Am i right in thinking that iweb converts mp3 into .mov files? If so, does this make a problem in terms of speed of loading.
    4. Does iwebenhancer help speed up loading when it simplifies the folder structure
    5. What size (in terms of megabytes not pixels!) images are acceptable to accompany audio?
    6. Is iweb the right tool for trying to do this job, or am i trying to get it to do something it is not intended for?
    Hope someone can help me, because i am spending hour upon hour trying to get this right, and the site is ridiculously slow at the moment. It took 10 seconds to load a page on a machine with a 10meg broadband connection!!!!
    Thanks in advance

  • Optimization in SCM from Third Party Logistics-Business ProcessOutsourcing

    I am compiling an exhaustive list of SCM Optimization touch points from Third Party logistics business process outsourcing point of view.
    Based on your experience, could you list out,
    1) Third Party Logistics business process outsourcing touch points in the entire width of SCM
    2) KPI's to Measure and Optimize at each touch points.

    Few KPI's
    - On time Delivery
    - Response time
    - Quality of WOrk
    - Costing
    - Profit at 3PL

  • High Availability (HA) questions

    Hi Gurus,
    First of all not sure is it a right forum to post this thread. But if anybody has any idea which forum, then I will do that again.
    But here is my scenarios and questions. Currently I am doing High Availability (HA) implementation using PowerHA & MSCS for SAp and NON-SAP environment. Using Oracle 10g possible datguard (still test is going how feasible is this), AIX 6.1 and Windows server. As per SAP docs, there are 3 categories for HA Testing.
    1. Before Failover u2013 Before Failing over to Passive Node
    2. After Failover u2013 After Failing over to Passive Node
    3. After Failback u2013 After Failing back to Active Node
    So I prepared my test plan for the said above categories for the system ECC, SRM, SCM, SCM-TM, SCM-Optimizer, BI, PI, EP MDM etc..
    Question(s) is/are:
    1. When switchover(or failover) from active to passive or when switchback(or failback) from passive to active, what transaction or command need to run to check all process or system is good. I mean initially I thought SGEN to run to do that. I am not sure SGEN is right one or not. If anybody has any idea, would be great. Although I am checking system consistency, ERS for any lock, message server, gateway etc. Other than that I mean while switchover suppose something running internally and do not know and did switchover. Then how will make sure nothing happened.
    2. What are the high availability functionality test for F5 Big-IP loadbalancer?
    3. What are the high availability functionality test plan for End-to-End process?
    4. What are the high availability test plan for VMWARE and WINDOWS environment?
    There are lots of questions, but the said above are initial to start and move on with HA.
    Thanks for effort and time.

    Hi Krish,
    Answers to some questions.
    1. You can use JCMON tool to check the Java services are up after the switchover to any node ( either passive or active)
          For ABAP, you can just try to login and check if the services are up.
    2.  F5 - BIG IP Load Balancer is used to balance the load if you have multiple application servers i.e additional dialog instances. You need to refer F5 load balancer documents for the same.
    3.  End to End process test plan might change from client to client. So this should be drafted in conjunction with client and developers.
    4. VMWARE and WINDOWS - Not worked extensively on these platforms. So no comments on this
    Let me know if you need more information.
    Cheers...,
