SCM5.0 Live Cache issue

Hello,
I am a newer from SCM5.0. I have 2 questions regarding live cache for SCM5.0.
1) if I want to run SNP or PP/DS, the live cache is necessary. that means, we MUST install live cache for APO planning run.
2) From now on, no 32 bit live cache version for SCM5.0. I can just install 64 bit live cache version for SCM5.0. right?
Could anyone give me some comments on the 2 issue? thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Karl

Hi Karl,
1. In APO whatever runs you take there should be liveCache. The data will be refreshed from database to livecache and is accessed.
In APO data is stored either order series or time series.
2. Yes you have to install 64 bit.

Kishore Reddy.

What are the possible live cache issues turn up for demand planning?

HI all,
Can anyone tell me the issues that may arise iin live cache and how to ensure the performance and maintenace of live cache that a planning area is utilizing it.
if the utilization is high how to bring it down!!
Can anyone pls guide me on this!!!
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
1) Accumulation of logs created during demand planning jobs will have an impact on performance
and affect livecache and hence to be cleared periodically
2) Livecache consistency check to be performance at planned intervals
which will reduce livecache issues
3) Through om13 transaction, you can analyse the livecache and LCA objects
and act accordingly
4) You can also carry out /SAPAPO/PSTRUCONS - Consistency Check for Planning Object
Structure and /SAPAPO/TSCONS - Consistency Check for Time Series Network related to
demand planning to avoid livecache issues later

Unable to delete Order does not exist in live cache but in table POSMAPN

Hi Experts,
We are facing an issue where purchase order is not available in live cache (which means no GUID) but exists in database table POSMAPN. We have tried to delete it using standard SAP inconsistent order deletion program and also using BAPI BAPI_POSRVAPS_DELMULTI but not able to delete it.
Can anybody suggest a method by which we can get rid of this order from the system.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
Apologize me for taking your question in a wrong perspective. If you want to delete the same then you need to Re-CIF the order from ECC so that it would come and sit in Live Cache. Once done, try using the BAPI.
If you are not successful with the above approach try running the consistency report /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 in APO system
so that it first corrects the inconsistency between ECC and APO (Live Cache + DB tables) and then use the BAPI to delete the PO.
Not sure if you have tried this way. If this does not solve your purpose you need to check SAP Notes.

What is the significance of Live Cache in demand planning ?

Hi all,
Can anyone explain me significance of live cache in the demand planning. What are the issues will turn up for live cache if it is not properly maintained?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
SAP has come up with Live cache concept for storage and most important, quick and efficient processing of transactional data. Its a layer between data base and GUI and even the search methods and storage space has been optimized due to its structure. In DP it is used for storage of time series data whereas in SNP it can store both time series and order series data.
Regarding your second query, it is recommended to have Live cache consistency on a periodic basis for synchrinising data between LC and database tables. You can face many issues due to LC inconsistency as incorrect time series generation, Transactional data discrepancy, COM routine errors during background processing etc.
Let me know if it 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'.

Data written to Live cache but not visible in SNP Planning Book

Hello All,
We have an issue this morning, Customer service cordinator placed a Purchase Order in SNP (VMI). Order was sent to ECC and a sales order was created. This morning when we check the sales order, it shows 4574 cases but in TLB Pur chase order, it only some 2000 something. I went to OM16 and checked the sales order and it had the entire 4574 cases written in the live cache. Any help on how to get the entire quantity to be seen is appreciated. Thank you.

Rohit.

Hi Ada,
Thanks for the reply. The issue got resolved by itself.

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 Consistency

Hi Folks,
Seeks your help urgently.. I am executing the transaction code /n/sapapo/om17 with object type as product location combination to check the LIve Cache consistency.
But its getting stuck in the sense when it comes to Pegging Id check.. It keeps on looping at the pegging Id check and hence it doesnt proceed further and gives a time out error..Rest all of the things are fine
it would really be appreciated and would be rewarded with points if any body can provide a clue or lead to this issue.
Any OSS notes pertaining to the issue would also be appreciated....
Thanking you in anticipation..
With Regards
Sundaran Nair....

Sundaran,
Pegging area checks can be very lengthy. In this case, execute them in background, where in most systems there are no timeout limitations enforced.

Live Cache error with message number /SAPAPO/OM028

Hi Experts,
When I run RLCDEL program for deletion of obsolete SNP orders in the back ground , system shows livecache error alert with message number /SAPAPO/OM028 in the deletion job log. The details of message is "invalid order" or ABAP programming error. Live cache consistency checks are not resolving issue. Product release is 5.1 with SP08. Please suggest a resolution
Regards,
Raghav

Hi Raghav,
The sap notes 642503 & 973244 will fix your issue but they are for
versions 4.0 and 5.0 respectively.
You can write to SAP by creating a OSS message to update these
two message for version 5.1
This will resolve your issue
