1 Introduction
Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) for SAP S/4HANA is not a legal successor of the
PP/DS component from the SAP SCM Server. Data migration and customer code migration from PP/DS
component from the SAP SCM Server is not supported by the standard solution.

The following guide describe the steps required for the activation of PP/DS after a conversion to
S/4HANA.

2 Installation of liveCache for S/4HANA

2.1 Install the LCAPPS plugin
We recommend that you use the latest version of the LCAPPS plugin for the SAP HANA revision that you
use. You can determine the appropriate version using SAP Note 2074843; please also see SAP Note
2074788. SAP Note 2037585 describes where to find the LCAPPS plugin in the SAP Support Portal and
how to install it. Installing the plugin requires a downtime of the SAP HANA database.

NOTE: No activities required since the plugin is already installed.

2.2 Creating liveCache connections

To include liveCache in the S/4HANA system, you must create the three liveCache connections LCA,
LDA, and LEA in the DBA Cockpit (transaction DBACOCKPIT) for the ABAP schema users.

The ABAP schema user is the standard user of the SAP HANA instance, as displayed in the menu
item°"System" -> "Status", in the section "Database Data" --> "Owner". This user is referred to in the
following as <ABAP-USER> (previously, this was usually the user SAP<SID> for S/4HANA 1610, and in
later versions also the users SAPABAP1 or°SAPHANADB).

1. Call transaction DBACOCKPIT

2. Double-click on Database Connections and Add a new one

3. Define the parameters as per the following picture (password is jk366SAP)

NOTE: Use your database host details and not linux-hk00

4
10Steps2S4 – [ACT] PP/DS Implementation

4. Save and test the connection

5. Create other 2 identical connections named LDA and LEA and test them to make sure they are
Working

10Steps2S4 – [ACT] PP/DS Implementation

2.3 SAP HANA Studio

In order to execute liveCache procedures in the SAP HANA database and to log warnings, it is necessary
to execute the following SQL commands as a system administrator in SAP HANA Studio:

GRANT AFL__SYS_AFL_LCAPPS_EXECUTE to <ABAP-USER>

create schema lcaalerts
GRANT SELECT on schema LCAALERTS to <ABAP-USER>
GRANT INSERT on schema LCAALERTS to <ABAP-USER>
GRANT DELETE on schema LCAALERTS to <ABAP-USER>
GRANT CREATE ANY on schema LCAALERTS to <ABAP-USER>
GRANT DROP on schema LCAALERTS to <ABAP-USER>

NOTE: Nothing required since it has been already done as part of the preparation activities.

2.4 Implement SAP Note 2664811

2664811 - liveCache tables have incorrect table type on SAP HANA 2.0 >= SPS03

Correction in support packages mentioned below. In urgent cases, you can implement the correction
instructions as an advance correction.
Execute the program /SAPAPO/OM_CREATE_LC_TABLES to rectify inconsistencies.

1. Implement SAP note 2664811 from transaction SNOTE

2. DO not execute the suggested program now as it will be part of the next step.

2.5 Initialization reports

Now execute the°report SLCA_INIT_FOLLOW_UP in the S4/HANA system, and after it has finished
successfully, execute the report°/SAPAPO/OM_CREATE_LC_TABLES. This prepares liveCache for use
in S/4HANA and creates the database tables required for operating the liveCache.

1. Run program SLCA_INIT_FOLLOW_UP from SE38

6
10Steps2S4 – [ACT] PP/DS Implementation

2. Specify parameter LCA for the “DB Connection Name” and press “Execute”

3. Check that the execution was successful

4. Run report /SAPAPO/OM_CREATE_LC_TABLES

5. If the execution is successful there is no result

2.6 Live cache jobs running regularly

For the correct operation of liveCache, some programs must be executed regularly, for example, updating
the calendar or cleaning up obsolete liveCache data. For this reason, you must schedule the following
background jobs periodically:

/SAPAPO/OM_REORG_DAILY in every liveCache-relevant client: daily (preferably at night)

/SAPAPO/OM_DELETE_OLD_SIMSESS in a liveCache-relevant client: every 30 minutes

/SAPAPO/OM_LCAALERTS in a liveCache-relevant client: every 12 hours

1. Schedule the jobs using SM36

2.7 Checking the installation

To determine whether liveCache was set up and integrated correctly, you can execute the following
transactions in your S/4HANA system:

/n/sapapo/om13: liveCache Health Check. Note in particular any error messages on the tab page
"Checks"

/n/sapapo/om03: Basic check of the PP/DS function

1. Execute transaction “/n/sapapo/om13”

2. Check that in the tab “Checks” all lights are green

7
10Steps2S4 – [ACT] PP/DS Implementation

3. If you have any red items check the information and complete the related activity
4. Execute transaction “/n/sapapo/om03”
5. If everything is ok you will just get a message on the buttom saying “liveCache-test at LCA
finished without errors”

3 Configuration of PP/DS
3.1 Settings in Customizing
3.1.1 Activate Advance Planning flag in customizing
1. Call transaction SPRO and click on button “SAP Reference IMG”
2. Navigate to Advanced Planning à Basic Settings à Activate Advance Planning and Scheduling
3. Select “New entries” and activate the option
4. Save the changes selecting a customizing request or creating a new one

3.1.2 Global settings in customizing

/SAPAPO/RRPCUST1). In addition, maintain number ranges for production campaigns and
interchangeability groups depending on the usage of these functions.

1. Call transaction SPRO and click on button “SAP Reference IMG”

2. Navigate to Advanced Planning àGlobal Settings à Maintain Number Ranges for Orders
3. Define the number range

4. Confirm the warning message and Save

3.1.3 Setup integration via Core Interface (CIF)

Set up the CIF customizing in customizing by choosing Basic Settings for Creating the System
Landscape, and by including SAP S/4HANA with system type SAP_APO and release 713 so that an
Integration model pointing to itself (own system and client) can be created and logical system and queue
types could be maintained. Set up CIF user parameters. Register the CIF queue (Transaction SMQR).
There is no need for maintaining distribution definition or publication types as the PP/DS is part of SAP
S/4HANA. SAP recommends using CIF Post-Processing as the error-handling option to avoid queue
blocks.

1. Call transaction SPRO and click on button “SAP Reference IMG”

2. Navigate to Advanced Planning à Integration via Core Interface (CIF) à Integration à Basic
Setting for Creating the System Landscape

4. Define a Logical System for your system in client 100 (e.g. S4HCLNT100)

5. Go back
6. Execute “Assign Logical System to a Client”
7. Double click on client 100
8. Make sure that the Logical System assigned is the one you created or verified previously
