We are planning to start our APO project and I would really appreciate if you could answer the following questions:
1) We are planning to use "ONEDB" concept for both APO & Livecache using MAXDB 7.6.
Is this supported by SAP for Production use ?
For Prod landscape, can we implement "oneDB" on one UNIX node (assuming this will withstand the load) ?
Is this recommended by SAP ?
How many customers in USA are using this "OneDB" architecture ?
2) Our R/3 system is a NON_UNICODE 4.7 system.
Do we have to convert to UNICODE before we go live with APO ? We use only English in our enterprise.
3) Since APO has it's own BW system embedded,
Is this recommended by SAP to use APO's BW for APO reporting ?
If not, use Enterprise BW for APO reporting ?
Our EBW is on 3.5 version and APO's BW will be on 7.0. Will there be any lack of functionality due version differences ?
Truly appreciate your responses in this regard.
Thank you
