·        Logical system: Name of the logical system that you are working with

·        Web server: Name of the ITS Web server with the corresponding port.

·        Web log: The log that is to be used.

For more information, see Collaborative Planning – Installation and Settings.

Procedure

Start Collaborative Planning with the SAP ITS Standalone

·        Start Collaborative Planning in the Web browser directly

Use the following URLs to start Collaborative Planning:

¡        Collaborative Supply and Demand Planning: http://<yourITS>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clpsdp/!

¡        Collaborative Transportation Planning: http://<yourITS>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clpbid/!

¡        Collaborative Promotion Planning: http://<yourITS>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clppromcal/!

¡        Displaying alerts in the Web browser:

§         Displaying alerts: http://<yourITS>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/amon/!

§         Alert overview: http://<yourITS>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/amon_statist/!

·        Start Collaborative Planning using the transaction in the SAP APO menu.

You can also start Collaborative Planning from the Easy Access Menu in SAP APO, with the exception of displaying alerts in the Web browser. You find the corresponding transactions under the following paths:

¡        Collaborative Supply and Demand Planning: Advanced Planning and Optimization → Supply Chain Collaboration

¡        Collaborative Transportation Planning: Advanced Planning and Optimization → Supply Chain Collaboration

¡        Collaboration Promotion Planning: Advanced Planning and Optimization → Demand Planning  → Planning → Promotion

Make sure that the corresponding services in the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) are not active. For this, use transaction SICF and the path \default_host\sap\bc\gui\sap\its\. The services are delivered by SAP in an inactive state, as standard. If the services are active, the transactions attempt to start Collaborative Planning using the integrated SAP ITS.

·        Start Collaborative Planning in the Web browser directly

Use the following URLs to start Collaborative Planning:

¡        Collaborative Supply and Demand Planning: http://<yourHost>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clpsdp?

¡        Collaborative Transportation Planning: http://<yourHost>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clpbid?

¡        Collaborative Promotion Planning: http://<yourHost>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clppromcal?

¡        Displaying alerts in the Web browser:

§         Displaying alerts: http://<yourHost>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/amon?

§         Alert overview: http://<yourHost>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/amon_statist?

If you start Collaborative Planning with these URLs directly, you can specify the logon client and the logon language explicitly using the parameters “sap-client“ and “sap-language“. If you want to start Collaborative Supply and Demand Planning in client 001 and with English as the language, for example, enter the URL as follows: http://<yourITS>:<yourPort>/scripts/wgate/clpsdp?sap-client=001&sap-language=en. For more information, see Configuration.

You can also start Collaborative Planning from the Easy Access Menu in SAP APO, with the exception of displaying alerts in the Web browser. For more information about the respective paths, see the section Collaborative Planning with the SAP ITS Standalone above.

If you start the services using the transactions in SAP APO, the system copies the logon client and logon language from the open session from where you called the transaction.

Make sure that the corresponding services in the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) are already active. For this, use transaction SICF and the path \default_host\sap\bc\gui\sap\its\. The services are delivered by SAP in an inactive state, as standard. If the services are not yet active, the transactions attempt to start Collaborative Planning using the SAP ITS Standalone.
