CIF Data Transfer Monitoring

[Former Member]

Hello recently, we've implemented SAP SCM solution integrated with SAP ERP system using CIF. I've searched SAP notes and did some googling around to find the best way to monitor the actual amount of data transfered by CIF from ERP to SCM or vise versa in a specified time perioud. We need to be able to tell that at any given timeframe, a number of data records was transfered from ERP to SCM. All I found out that this can be done from SAP CIF cookpit ( /SAPAPO/CC ), but when i go to this transaction, i only find zeros (0) in all cells. 1- Is there anything else need to be done before we can see such information in the cookpit? 2- Will gathering such statistics draw a significat overhead over the system performance? 3- Is it recommended to have such statistics collected all the time or only once needed? Appreciate you help. Ahmad

Hi,

To activate the saving of CIF Cockpit data, use transaction ASACT and put a check in the box for SAP Functions.

I found this in the SAP help for CIF cockpit -

Saving and Deleting Performance Data

In accordance with the setting in the user profile, the CIF cockpit evaluates the performance measurements for certain intervals. You can use the program Saving and Deleting Performance Data from CIF Cockpit (/SAPAPO/CC_SAVE_PERF_DATA) to save these evaluations over a certain period of time. You can then have the system display the evaluations you have saved in the CIF cockpit. The smallest evaluation interval for saving and displaying performance data that has been saved is one hour.

We recommend that you schedule this program as a background job to run every night. If you specify the last two days as the evaluation period, you can be sure that you do not lose any evaluation data. To schedule the program as a background job, in Customizing for Integration, choose Basic Settings for Data Transfer ® CIF Cockpit ® Save CIF Cockpit Performance Data.

During each program run, the program also deletes saved data records that have reached the minimum age for deletion.

Hi Ahmad

You want to know the actual amount of data transferred in a given time period - here is one way of doing it. Before running your CIF jobs , query the BDCPV table and find the number of unprocessed change pointers against each message type . Then run the CIF jobs and lets say the material CIF finishes in 30 mts. Lets say the number of unprocessed CIFMAT change pointers you had before running material CIF was 10,000 . So it means it took 30 mts to transfer 10,000 material related changes

Thanks
