Data Integrity Manager
As of SAP CRM 7.0 Enhancement Package 3, SP03, you can use the Data Integrity Manager (DIMa) to check whether all your provider contracts from SAP CRM are replicated to SAP ERP and SAP CC.
DIMa Object ISX_PRV_CONTR
The DIMa object ISX_PRV_CONTR can be used to perform a header comparison, for example, to check that the contract exists in the other systems. However, the system does not check the details here. You can use the business partner or the contract ID to select the provider contracts which you want to compare.
Use the transaction SDIMA to start a new DIMa request. You can either start a comparison for an existing DIMa instance or create a new DIMa instance using the wizard. If you create a new DIMa instance, you must maintain the following:
-
Name of the DIMa instance
-
Select ISX_PRV_CONTR as the DIMa object
-
Enter your filter settings
You can use the business partner (field name = GPART) or the contract ID (field name = VTKEY) to search for your provider contracts
Once the comparison is finished, you can see how many contracts exist in both systems (SAP CRM and SAP ERP + SAP CC) and how many contracts exist in SAP CRM only . You can display the contract using the contract ID if you want to analyze why some contracts only exist in SAP CRM.
You can display errors that occur during the search in the SAP ERP system by selecting the indicator Messages in the DIMa header.
Settings in SAP ERP
In the SAP ERP system, the common object layer (COL) is used to read the provider contracts from SAP FI-CA and SAP CC and return the results. You can execute the searches in parallel to improve performance. To do so, maintain an entry in the table CRMPAROLTP in the SAP ERP system:
-
PARNAME = CRM_ISX_CC_PARALLEL_THREADS
-
PARNAME2 = ISX_PRV_CONTR
-
CONSUMER = CRM
-
PARVAL1 = number of parallel threads
Enter the number of parallel threads that should be used for parallel processing in PARVAL1. This entry must be less than or equal to the allowed number of threads in SAP CC (parameter in SAP CC system HTTP_SERVER_THREAD_COUNT).
