Business Function Requiring Activation in Addition

Not relevant

With this business function, you can improve the effectiveness of initial data transfer via Core Interface (CIF). You can use the following features:

  • Incremental Initial Data Transfer

  • Parallelized Initial Data Transfer of PDS

Prerequisites

  • You have installed SAP Supply Chain Management 7.0 (SAP SCM 7.0) and in Customizing, you have activated the incremental data transfer. For more information, see Customizing for SCM Basis under   Integration   Basic Settings for Data Transfer   Activate Incremental Data Transfer  .

  • You have activated the parallelized initial data transfer on the Activate or Deactivate Integration Model screen. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, you have chosen   Logistics   Central Functions   Supply Chain Planning Interface   Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer   Integration Model   Activate   or transaction CFM2.

Features

Incremental Initial Data Transfer

You can activate the incremental data transfer for a logical system. You can use the incremental data transfer during the initial data transfer of master data objects from an ERP system to an SCM system via Core Interface (CIF). The incremental data transfer is valid for the following master data objects:

  • Product master data

  • Location product master data

  • Production data structure (PDS) (in SAP APO only)

If you do not activate the incremental data transfer, the initial data transfer stops in the event of an error during the processing of a queue even if the error only affects one of the objects in the queue. If the data transfer is scheduled in a background job, then the background job is canceled. You must correct the error and start the transfer of all objects again.

If you activate the incremental data transfer, the system transfers all blocks of correct master data objects in a CIF queue so that you only have to retransfer blocks with errors. Due to the lower volume of objects to be processed again, the retransfer becomes more effective.

The incremental data transfer only considers errors in the SAP SCM system for the master data objects listed above. The system does not activate the integration model when errors occur in the SAP ERP system or if errors also occur in the SAP SCM system for data objects other than the master data objects listed above.

Parallelized Initial Data Transfer of PDS

The parallelized data transfer has been enhanced to include the object type PDS.
