SAP ME Client component requirement

0 Kudos

HI,

I understand that SAP ME Client comprises ODS, Archiving, Labor Rollup, Xchange (Data Exchange), Alarm Cleanup (Events) and Failure History Extract (NC).

So to have these functionalities in my application, I need to have SAP ME client machine.

But I would like to know more details about this component as I am unable to figure out whether it would be really necessary to suffice my project requirements or only SAP ME server would be sufficient for me.

Does any body have details or can share any document on this? I have gone through ODS setup guide but could not figure out explicitly the need of SAP ME client component.

In a nutshell:

ODS scripts - for reports over production data, with summarization.

Archiving - for removing old production data from WIP to ODS database to keep overall performance at scratch.

Labor Rollup - for labor reports.

Xchange - for importing/exporting master (configuration) data.

Alarm Cleanup - for deleting old alarms triggered at different events during production activities in SAP ME.

Failure History Extract - for displaying Verified Defect chart in PCA POD.

Hi,

Thanks for the brief introduction of terminologies.

However, i believe functionality such as ODS scripts wherein we need to define them on the server that carries ODS database (SAP ME ODS DB server)  and hence may not require SAP ME Client component. please correct me if I am wrong.

Also for integration purpose, the data exchange would happen between SAP ERP server and SAP ME server (via SAPMII/SAP MEINT server) then how does SAP ME client machine plays role in that  (Xchange functionality).Is it mandatory if there is any integration in our project?

It would be helpful if there is any document detailing all this. Since,otherwise i have to bother with such basic doubts on this forum
