ECC Client switch to SCM 7.0

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are planning to switch our ECC Development client from 120 to 130 which is already connected to SCM system and has data related to ECC 120.

When switch the ECC client from 120 to 130 and run the Integration Models again, what are possibilities of SCM system data to become junk or Inconsistent?

1). SCM data needs to be scrambled before we run the Integraion Models from New client?

2). SCM data gets appended with new Data from new client?

Kindly provide your views...

Thanks,

It depends on which modules of SCM you are using. If you are using DP integrated with a BI system, the Infocubes/ Time Series Data could be inconsistent after switching. If you are using GATP with Product Allocation (again due to DP/ BI linkage), you could have the same issue.

Other than that you might be ok if you simply do CIF initialize (RIMODINI) and also do a Transaction data reconciliation (/SAPAPO/CCR).

As far as possible, my opinion is that it is always better to rebuild the SCM system everytime the connected ECC client changes rather than attempt to clean it. The reason is that should anything look funny in Development (either due to an enhancement or while testing standard functionality), you will always be thinking in the back of your mind that it might be due to the client switching. The fewer wild cards you introduce in your development environment, the better off your testing.

You can just append the data

Thanks Rishi and Sravanthi !

The Modules in our system are DP. SNP, PP/DS and TP/VS.

As I already mentioned the client change is in ECC Dev. So, is it good idea to rebuild SCM Dev evrytime we do client change?

Thanks,
