Hi Vignesh,

The basic purpose of this programme is to delete periodically the hanging

transactional Simulations.

Whenever user carries out simulations in transactional level, sometimes

data will get locked or hanged depending upon the situation.

Such scenarios can be corrected using this programme

Report /SAPAPO/OM_DELETE_OLD_SIMSESS can be used to clean up the unused simulation version in the liveCache and transactional context in the database table. Notes 1029856, 1254079 and 1354893 describe how to trace locking problems in demand planning.

Hi Vignesh,

Some times the jobs fail due to user locak and inspite of user not in the system,.

Such problem arises due to obsolete lock entries present for the planning version, which may occur if the sessions has not finished correctly.

By running the report /SAPAPO/OM_DELETE_OLD_SIMSESS we can solve such user lock problems.
