Purpose

To maintain historical data for Service Parts Planning (SPP), you must initialize Real-time Data Acquisition (RDA) of SAP NetWeaver usage type Business Intelligence for the InfoProvider being used. In the standard system these are the InfoProviders 9ADEMMUL and 9ARAWMUL. If you use your own InfoProviders, you must carry out the initialization for them. If you want to simulate the data realignment of the demand history, for example, you must carry out the initialization for the copied InfoProvider as well.

Prerequisites

You have transferred and activated the InfoProviders 9ADEMMUL and 9ARAWMUL.

Process

You execute the Initialize Data Realignment of Demand History IMG activity for each of the InfoProviders in use.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Advanced Planning and Optimization under Supply Chain Planning → Service Parts Planning (SPP) → Forecasting → Initialize Data Realignment of Demand History .

In the application log (transaction SLG1), you check whether the initialization was successful.

Make sure that the DataSources, InfoSources and update rules being are not in the emulated version (3.x format). If the DataSources, InfoSources or update rules being used are still in the emulated version, then delete them.

In the Administrator Workbench screen (transaction RSA1) you create transformations between the DataStore objects and the DataSources. To do so, proceed as follows:

Select the required DataStore object.

Open the context menu for this DataStore object (right mouse click).

Choose Create Transformation...

Define the parameters as described below.

Accept the rules suggested by the system.

Link the fields of the DataSource with the InfoObjects of the DataStore object. Note the following:

The field names must match the InfoObject names.

For characteristics and key figures the rule type must be set to Direct Assignment.

For key figures the type of aggregation must be set to Totaling .

Do not create any rules for the fields FCSTABLE and RECORDMODE.

Save and activate the transformation.

If you are using InfoProviders 9ADEMMUL and 9ARAWDAT, create the following transformations:

Transformation between the DataStore object 9ADEMCRT and the DataSource 9ADEMCRT

Transformation between the DataStore object 9ARAWCRT and the DataSource 9ARAWCRT

Specify the DataStore object as the target of the transformation and the DataSource as the source. Select your own system as the source system.

On the Administrator Workbench screen, create data transfer processes. To do so, proceed as follows:

Select the required DataStore object.

Open the context menu for this DataStore object.

Choose Create Data Transfer Process.

Define the parameters as described below.

Save and activate the DTP.

If you are using InfoProviders 9ADEMMUL and 9ARAWDAT, create the following DTPs:

DTP for DataSource 9ADEMCRT and DataStore object 9ADEMCRT

DTP for DataSource 9ARAWCRT and DataStore object 9ARAWCRT

For DTP type select Standard (Can Be Scheduled). Specify the DataStore object as the target of the DTP and the DataSource as the source. Select your own system as the source system.

You create the following InfoPackages:

One InfoPackage for each of the DataSources 9ADEMCRT and 9ARAWCRT with the update mode Initialize Delta Process and Init Simulation Without Data Transfer

Run these InfoPackages.

One RDA InfoPackage for each of the DataSources 9ADEMCRT and 9ARAWCRT.

Create one RAD InfoPackage by setting the Real Time Data Acquisition InfoPackage indicator. For these InfoPackages copy the settings suggested by the system. Furthermore, assign a daemon for Real-time Delta to each one.

For more information about InfoPackages, see the SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver under SAP NetWeaver Library → SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability → Information Integration by Key Capability → Business Intelligence → Data Warehousing → Data Warehouse Management → Scheduler → Creating InfoPackages

You assign the ID of each DTP that you created in step 4 to the InfoPackages that have been created.

Start the daemons that you assigned to your InfoPackages in step 5. To do so, proceed as follows:

In the Monitor: Real-Time Data Acquisition (transaction RSRDA) screen select the desired daemon.

Open the context menu, choose Daemon Settings and ensure that in the Period [Min] field the value is 0001.

Start the daemon from the context menu by choosing the Start Daemon with All InfoPackages entry.
