Activating and Deactivating Integration Models 

Report: RIMODACT

Use

The integration model is activated, and this means that an initial data transfer can take place. Incremental transfer is released for transactional data. Integration models that have to be activated are therefore compared by default with already active integration models. In this way, data transfer is restricted to the delta of the data records between already active and newly active integration models.

To make it possible to retransfer the entire data record, all active integration models must be deactivated and reactivated.

It is possible to generate more than one integration model, but only one version can be activated per model. You can activate and deactivate several integration models simultaneously.

Integration

Follow-up reports include:

Prerequisites

In order to activate an integration model, it must first have been generated using the report Generate Integration Model (RIMODGEN).

For further information, see Generating Integration Models

Features

For release 3.1I - 4.5B, open the CIF area menu (transaction CIF). After entering the CIF area menu, choose Integration model ® Activate.

From release 4.6B choose Logistics ® Central Functions ® Supply Chain Planning Interface ® Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer ® Integration model ® Activate.

Use entry fields to select the integration model to be activated.

If no entry was made for Logical system and/or for APO application and the report is started, the system automatically includes all integration models of the same name in the list of results (version creation).

Display

The selection screen displays the available models for the model name specified.

Version creation: If several integration models exist with the same name, they will be displayed in chronological order (according to date and time). They can also be assigned to different logical systems (target systems) and APO applications.

You can activate the required model by double clicking on it, or using the button Active/inactive. The green OK icon to the left of the model generation date and time shows that the integration model was activated.

To deactivate, proceed accordingly.

Choose the button Start to begin the data transfer. The actual data transfer takes place in the background.

You can use the ‘Check’ button to carry out a consistency test on the resulting status of the integration model. All active models are tested, including the models intended for activation, but not including the models intended for deactivation (for further information see Consistency Check).
