Taking back up of Transactional data in SNP

[Former Member]

Hi All,

How do I ensure that I have a backup of transactional data (Including orders) in SNP. I believe one idea is to create a version, say 123, and copy data from active version 000 to version 123. Is this the best way to take back-up of transactional data in SNP?

I believe I cannot extract transaction data into an infocube because I will not be able to save orders in an infocube. Is there a better way to take a back up of data in SNP??

Thanks,

Shiv.

Hi Shiv,

Yes, version copy is the better way to take a backup Transactional data in SNP

Hi Shiv,

Since transactional data is dynamic and I hope APO system is connected R3 system ... so you can always restore the transactional data from R3 to APO.

Copying version can also be used for simulations.

I agree with what Venkat has mentioned. If your APO system is connected to R/3 system then i dont see the need to back up transaction data.

Also i dont understand why you cant backup the data to info cube. You can by all means create an info cube and dump all your transaction data to the cube . Also you can write BEx queries and use data in the cube for reporting purposes.

Hi,

Guys, Thanks for your response.

@aparna... I was under the assumption that orders cannot be stored in an info cube...that was the reason I thought transactional data cannot be stored in an Info cube. I will try to store the transactional data in an Infocube and check if everyhting is fine...Thanks for your help.

@venkat....Do I have to set up an Integration model for the transactional data to be linked to R-3 or is it linked directly to R-3?

Hi Shiv,

Yes, you have to setup Intigration models for the transactional data to be linked to R/3, you have to setup CIF connection between APO and R/3, by default no intigration models will be create automatically.

To get transfer data between APO and R/3 perticular material & locations should be active in the intigration model.

for more details gothrough any CIF documents.
