IBP Planning Operators - Can it be triggered via CPI? or any External system?

[former_member360851]

Hi,

We have a process of extracting data from BW system going to IBP on a regular basis via CPI. Once the data stored in IBP there is a DISAGG planning operator that will copy and dissaggreate the values to the final key figure visible to the users.

To automate the process we develop a custom program in BW. At the end of the BW process chain there is a program to trigger the CPI tasks automatically to start the extraction. However, this will not trigger the DISAGG operator in IBP.

I am thinking of just scheduling the DISAGG operator to run regularly (i.e. every 15mins). But there might be a more elegant solution/option for it? Can CPI trigger the planning operators in IBP?

Appreciate your response 🙂

Hi Jerson,

Did you try using Group operator which triggers automatically after importing key figures data?

Within the group operator you can configure COPY, DISAGG etc which you want run after data import. See help for details.

Thanks,

Rohit

Hi Rohit,

Thank you for your response.

As per the SAP Help portal, there is a limitation in DISAGG operator which cannot be used in a GROUP operator. 😞

Hi Jerson,

Thats correct, I missed this point. You cannot use DISAGG in group operators.

Thanks

I will check but application trigger the job I. Sequence does 2 separate job schedules works First jobfor CPI and other for operator and yiu can schedule one after other to verify it works if yes the sequence should work I have not tried but test

I am not sure if i understand you correctly but I tried to test it. In my example, i manually run the "Step1: CPI task 01" in CPI and it was executed successfully. However, it doesn't proceed to "Step2: CPI task 02" and so on.

did you try build job templates that include CPI and planning operators for disaggregate? See that works ?

[former_member360851]

Hi Anil, yes i created a job template that include the CPI tasks and put it in a batch job with steps. sample:

Step1: CPI task 01

Step2: CPI task 02

Step3: DISAGG

However, the BW program only triggers the CPI tasks but NOT the batch job with steps. Hence, the DISAGG operator isnt triggered.
