When to stop LiveCache

[Former Member]

Hi,

In a SCM 5.0 system, is it mandatory to stop livecache via LC10 every time SAP and the SAP database (Oracle) is stopped/bounced?

When is it appropriate to stop LiveCache?

Thanks,

Chris.

Hello Chris,

It's NOT mandatory to stop livecache via LC10 every time SAP and the SAP database(Oracle) is stopped/bounced.

If you would like to bounce the SCM system you need to run the following steps:

-> Stop the liveCache in LC10 transaction; < stop x_server, if it's planned >

-> Stop the application server & SCM database -> stopsap

-> Start the application server & SCM database -> startsap

-> < start x_server, if it's stopped on the livecache server >

Start the liveCache in LC10 transaction

For example, the liveCache need to stopped if you are going to run the livecache

upgrade or reboot the livecache server.

When you are going to restart the liveCache the liveCache application users need to be informed about the downtime, when the liveCache will be not available and the liveCache application jobs/activities & CIF queues need to be stopped for the liveCache restart procedure.

For SAP liveCache documentation in English < See the SAP note 767598 >:
