Livecache error in COM routine after system copy

[Former Member]

After system copy we are getting a livecache error when we want to de-initialize and initialize the planning areas.  Any ideas?

Hello,

- What document or SAP note did you follow to copy SCM system?

- Did you copy the liveCache & SCM database to the same point-in-time?

- See the SAP note:

886103

System Landscape Copy for SAP SCM

Hi Janet,

Mostly the problem could be one of the below reasons:

•/SAPAPO/DELETE_LC_ANCHORS was not entered as post-processing step for liveCache initialization.

In LC10 press the pencil button (and the administration reports tab if necessary) to check this setting.

•The RFC destination was not set up (correctly) for the affected client during liveCache initialization.

See note 305634 for more details.

Usually the solutions below cannot be applied production system directly, but since you just performed system copy, so it could be ok if you try below:

•If DELETE_LC_ANCHORS is not entered as described above, correct this and re-initialize the liveCache.

•If a RFC destination was missing for a specific client, add it according to note 305634.

Afterwards it is sufficient to log on to this client and run /SAPAPO/DELETE_LC_ANCHORS from SE38.

•You also can try to correct the missing simversions using /n/sapapo/om17.

But remember not to try this on productive systems.

Best regards,

Hi James

Thanks so much for responding.  In the end there was still an invalid/erroneous created time series in the planning area, when you right click on the planning area in administration of demand and supply network planning.  Was this maybe because we did not delete the livecache anchors ?  I don't think so ?  It was strange as the planning area status was green, but what gave us a clue was when you click refresh in the administration window it gave a message which led us to try and create the time series objects again even though it looked fine.  It is juts weird that the status was green although the time series objects was not correct/active.  After that we could run the consistency checks etc and everything worked.  Before we did that we got the COM error when we ran consistency checks or any transaction relating to livecache/time series.

Was there a step we should have done after the system copy ?

Thanks

Janet

Hi Janet,

Probably you did not call /SAPAPO/DELETE_LC_ANCHORS when liveCache has been initialized. /SAPAPO/DELETE_LC_ANCHORS will delete the content of anchor tables in the APO.
