Transport of calendars in APO

Hi,
I changed the validity period of calendars in the APO system using the SCAL transaction code, but I am not sure of how to transport the changes to Production environment. Please help me with this.
Thanks for the support.
Regards,
Guru Charan.

Guru,
I think that you should reconsider the logic by which you are maintaining the calendars.
If your SCM is attached to an ERP, then your calendars must be in synch with the ERP calendars in order to maintain consistency. It is usually not important that the calendars in SCM Prod match the calendars in SCM dev. This is why SAP offers the option to import the entire calendar database from an attached system.
In many businesses, all calendar changes are performed in the ERP, using the normal transport mechanism (ERP Dev > ERP Qual > ERP Prod). Once the calendars are in place in the ERP, then the updated calendars are then copied from the ERP to the attached SCM systems using the program mentioned by expert Kaushik. Actually, if you run this program in batch periodically, you will always be assured that the ERP calendars synch with the SCM calendars. Program is RSIMPCUST.

Transporting holiday calendar gives export error

I have changed settings for a holiday calendar and I am trying to transport the calendars to my test system. But in the process I get an export error saying "scrap char in NUMC field found in TFAIT.VON."
Does anybody know what the issue might be and how to solve it? What I have done is only to remove a fixed date holiday from one calendar.
The error refers to note 718511 for further information but it does not suggest how to fix the problem directly.
Any thoughts?
Regards Jesper

Hi,
All public holidays calandar will be deleted in the target system.You can include objects of this type in a
Workbench request only and crete tranport request manually.If you want any further clarifications pl revert back to me.

How to transport Factory calendar to Production

Hello PP Gurus !,
I have a question regarding transporting factory calendar to production system . Is there any specific way of moving the transport request from development to production ? or it is as usual like other config transportation ?
I was told that there is a special procedure to transport factory calendar . Please throw me some light on this .
Regards,
Giri

Jiaul,
First of all, I only need to transport this configuration from DEV Client 301 to QA.
Referring to another SDN note, our Basis Team has changed the Client Role to Customizing, and make the system changable and client independent. Now, the "Transport" function is enabled.
We finally able to transport the Factory Calendar. But when we click on the "Transport", it warned us that "All public holidays, public holiday and factory calendars will be transported.All public holidays, public holiday and factory calendars will first be deleted in the target system."
Like Xioliu mentioned in the same message: "this kind of transport is a table transport, that is , if you use it, all table entries in the target system will be overwritten from the source client.
this is not a SAP recommended transport."
I feel that this is a high risk if we transport the whole table.
Is that a way that we can just transport the two Factory Calendar entries we added (without manually re-create in the system.). The purpose is that we need a TR # generated, so that we can transport to Production with proper transport log.
Thanks for advise.

Can the route consider the transportation calendar in APO?

Hi GATP experts,
the transportation calendar is normally part of the transportation lane.
Is it also possible to assign the transportation calendar to the route?
Thanks for help.

No it is not possible.
Development is necessary.

Changing Fiscal Calendars in APO 4.0

All,
We need to change our Fiscal Period in APO. When we make this change, do I have to copy the data to a backup cube, change the fiscal calendar, and then reload the data back into DP?
I am on SCM 4.0. We will be going to SCM 5.0 in February. Will it be easier to make this change once we are on 5.0? Or will the same process have to happen in 5.0 that is necessary in 4.0?

Hi Monty,
Changing the Fiscal Period (Fiscal Year Variant) in APO is only possible when the Fiscal Period is not assigned to any Time Bucket or Storage Bucket Profile. This means you need to extract the data in the Planning Area to a cube, deactivate the time series, unassign the Fiscal Year Variant before you can change the Fiscal Year variant.
I am not sure if SCM 5.0 has made this process simpler. You need to check the Release Notes.
Also please note there is a separate forum for SAP Advanced Planning & Optimization (SAP APO) now.
Thanks,
Somnath

Crystal Reports transport files for SAP APO / SCM

Hi there,
Problem: we want to use Crystal Reports on top of SAP APO / SCM and have some difficulties getting the definitions of BW / OLAP servers right and don't know which transports to import on the SAP to report with Crystal.
System is a SAP SCM system with APO module. There is a cube in this module (because there is some internal BW system) and I can see the cube in Crystal Reports. When I want to report from this cube I get an error:
"/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFO" not found.
This means some transport files were not imported and some functions are missing.
The following transports are missing:
====quote from transports_EN.txt included in transports for Crystal Reports=====
The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
===========================================================
My SAP BASIS expert refuses to import these transports in SAP SCM, because he thinks it is not an SAP BW system as listed in the above transports_EN.txt file. Just trying is not an option because transports cannot be removed once imported...
In my opinion these transports have to be imported to clearly access the cube and will work on SAP SCM even if it's not a 'dedicated' SAP BW environment. In other words, these transports should be imported and will work on SAP OLAP servers like SAP BW, SAP SCM, SAP SRM (APO) or SAP SEM.
Does anyone of you have some more experience on reporting from SAP SCM / APO cubes and if I can import these transports without getting some nasty errors, because its not an SAP BW system?
Kind regards!
Edited by: J. van de Mheen on Mar 3, 2009 4:21 PM

Thanks for your reply, but this is not helping me much.
Let me explain more.
In the transport_EN.txt file we see this:
If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 *BASIS system* or later, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
* Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
* Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
* Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
* Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
The following files must be used on an *SAP BW system*:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
* Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
* MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
* ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
So I have to import 5 transports in SAP BASIS system and 4 transports in SAP BW system to make full use of the integration kit.
SAP SCM / APO is basically a BASIS system, so the BASIS expert says only those 5 transport have to be installed.
But SAP SCM / APO is also having some reporting capabilities and stores data in OLAP cubes (Infocubes).
In Crystal I can see these cubes when using SAP BW MDX connection.
To make the error go away, I must have some function modules used in transport 'MDX Query Connectivity transport. But the BASIS expert doesn't want to import this transport, because it is listed as a transport for a SAP BW system and he says SAP SCM / APO is NOT a SAP BW system (it's a BASIS system).
And now I have to get some proof that this transport has to be imported in the SAP SCM / APO BASIS system before he installs it...

Transport factory Calendar ( T. code

Hi,
Warm Greetings,
How to Transport Factory calender to Production, transaction code used (SCAL) . As changes are been made in Development to factory calendar year as 2010 Workbench request can be seen in se10)
But dont know how to process to quality, & production
Badly in need of solution
regards & thank u shamulheq

Changes to calendar data are not automatically included in a correction request.
For the calendar data to be utilizable in another system, use the function Transport in the initial screen of the maintenance transaction.
Note that you cannot transport individual public holidays or calendars. You can only transport calendar data in its entirety. When you do this, all public holidays, public holiday and factory calendars existing in the target system are deleted.

Is it possible to transport alert profiles in APO, from one system to another system?
If so, how can this be done?
Thanks in anticipation...

Hi GroupAPO,
You can very well transport alert profiles in APO between SAP

Transport of Factory Calendar

Hi BI Gurus,
I have created a new factory calendar in BI Development system and transported to Quality system successfully. When i proceed to transport to Production system, it return RC = 0 but I couldn't find the newly created Factory Calendar in BI production system.
is there something related to authorization? Any pre-requisites to transport factory calendar? Please shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pei Fung

Hi Rasim,
Thanks for you reply.
Understand that the best practice might be load from the source system to BW.
The factory calendar can be transported to BW Quality system successfully and the newly created calendar id appeared in SCAL. Why the same factory calendar is not appeared in BW Production system after transport with RC=0?
Are there any steps that I miss out when transport of this calendar?
Please advice. Thanks.
Best regards,

Factory calendar change in APO

Hi All
There has been a change in Factory calendar (holiday changes) in R/3
How do I make the changes for calendar in APO ? Never done this. step-by-step procedure would help.
Looks like there is a 'holiday calender' assigned to 'factory calendar' and I have the factory-shut down dates.
Thanks
Pooja

Pooja,
You can transfer Factory Calendars from R/3 to SCM. Here are the steps:
in SCM
Transaction RSA1
Select Source systems>SAP>your R/3 client.
Right click on the client>Select Transfer Global Settings.
Select Factory Calendars
Select Rebuild tables
Unfortunately, you may not update only a single calendar, you must update all calendars in SCM.
You can set this program up as a batch job using RSIMPCUST. Some companies run this regularly, depending on how often the calendars change in R/3 and how the changes will impact SCM.
If you have Timestreams that rely on your factory calendars, you will have to update these manually using /SAPAPO/CALENDAR transaction

SAP APO and WM

Hello All,
Is it possible to put some warehouse related controls and limitations in SAP APO (SCM) without having EWM? For example, a certain warehouse can only process 300 orders and if anyone tries to place order beyond 300 then it automatically pushes the CGID to next day?
Second example can be on availability of truck? If the Truck leaves Warehouse only twice a day for a certain customer, then APO (SCM) automatically place the order on those two days?
Thanks,
Ali

Ali
You might be able to get GATP to meet at least some of your requirements with some creative thinking and enhancements. Standard GATP does not consider warehouse (field is not transferred from ECC to GATP during the ATP check), so you would add that to the field catalog through an enhancement (relatively simple). You could then use Product allocation functionality to limit the warehouse to 300 orders per day. Standard product allocation functionality is based on order quantities, not number of orders, so you would need an enhancement to modify this behaviour (sounds simple, but you would have to explore).
I don't understand what you mean by 'CGID', but you could get GATP to commit material availability dates based on warehouse limitations (push out material availability date based on next available free 'slot' in the warehouse). As long as you run the delivery due list with a short (say 1 day) window, this might work.
Configurable Process Scheduling (CPS) functionality within GATP may also work for your requirement of 'truck leaving warehouse only twice a day to a certain customer' - using customer-specific condition tables for transportation activity calendar determination.
One thing to remember is that GATP works only on commit dates of Orders (Sales Orders/ Stock Transport Orders), it doesnt directly influence actual pick/ pack/ ship activities in the warehouse (it does affect warehouse operations indirectly .)

The Creation of Export DataSource Failed Error while transporting ODS Cube

Hi All,
I am facing this issue from last 1 week.. i had developed an ODS cube in APO-DP BW which will fetch data from SAP R/3 and its working fine in APO Dev Server. But when i transport this cube into APO PAC(Prodn Server) the below error i am getting..
   Start of the after-import method RS_ODSO_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) ODSO (Activation Mode)
   The creation of the export DataSource failed
   Password logon no longer possible - too many failed attempts
   Password logon no longer possible - too many failed attempts
   Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects
   Error when activating DataStore Object ZANAUTSL
I also updated the transport conversion tables but still problem not resolved.
Immediate help is hightly appreciated.
Thanx
AJ

Hi AJ,
Looking at your error, it seems that the RFC user's password is locked and hence connectivity from R/3 towards APO BW is broken.
You know the name of your export datasource (from R/3 to APO BW). Find out the name of your R/3 source system e.g. PACCLT000, by scrolling to the right against teh export data source.
Take help of your Basis or EAI team to identify the RFC destination corresponding to the connectivity from the R/3 source system (PACCLT000) to your APO BW system. (If needed ask for help from your BW team, I am not very sure how connectivity would be set up from R/3 to APO BW, I guess this would be independent from CIF connectivity)
For this RFC connection from R/3 to APO BW, see which RFC user is maintained in SM59 in APO and ask your security team to reset (or unlock) the password of this RFC user in R/3, and then if required update the user password details in SM59 in APO also.
After this, your issue should get resolved.
Thanks - Pawan
