Hello experts,
we have an SCM5.0 system using DP/SNP etc. Now we want to onboard another company (Joint Venture) and introduce DP first for them. We are investigating what it would mean to setup another client within our existing SCM system or what challenges we could run into (since the underlaying BW is not truly multi-client capable).
SAP Note 1413544 says that theoretically SCM is capable of doing so with some limitations since there can only be 1 "master" BW client in an SCM system. Does somebody have / would kindly share experiences working withe several APO clients within 1 SCM system and preferably using DP.
My questions would be:
1) if I create a new DP PlanningObjectStructure in the additional APO client - do I need to activate it the "master BW client" (since there is an internal InfocCube behind) ? Does this also mean all POS and PAs are visible in all clients or only in the client where I created them ?
2) if I want to use RemoteCube to extract data from a DP (or SNP) planning area (ad-hoc reporting on LiveCache Data)- does this go thru the "master BW client" or thru the additional / new BW client ?
3) Assuming I would create a new DP POS + Planning Area in the additonal client and create planning Books / DataViews - are these PB/DV visible in all clients or only in the one where I created it ?
Regards
