Transaction CFC9 in ECC - regarding CIF change transfers to APO

[Former Member]

I am using APO 5.1 connected to an ECC 5 system.

I am using ECC transaction CFC9 for CIF settings.

How do the 'change transfer' settings (online/periodic) in transaction CFC9 actually relate to the use of the online change transfer via CFC5 and the use of the periodic change transfer via CFP1. Is there a dependency here?

Thanks for any advice on this...

Hi,

CFC9 is where you specify what way you want to have the data transfer for master data from R/3 to APO - online, periodic or no transfer.

Based on what you maintained in CFC9, you need to either maintain configuration relevant for ALE (periodic transfer) or BTE (online transfer).

So, if you selected periodic transfer, you should use periodic change transfer using CFP1. Alternatively, you could schedule a periodic job corresponding to CFP1 to send change pointers from R/3 to APO. You should also select "acticvate ALE change pointer generally".

Not sure what you meant by CFC5. If you want to send master data changes online (using BTE), you should have activated "online transfer using BTE".

Thanks - Pawan
