How to enable the cache memory in SAP R/3 ?

Hi VVR,

Can you tell me how to enable the cache memory in SAP R/3? In Whole landscape, for some cache is working and for some it is not.

Please let me know the setting I can enable the cache memory.

I am facing a lot of problems like noting down all the documents and field entries i have typed earlier to test.

Good to see the site for more configurations i dont know and good portal to develop the SAP knowledge esp. in configuration.

Thanks & Regards,

Goto the SAP GUI Help :

In that you can see "Adjusting the Local Layout". If you click on that you will get more items in that select the "Local Data Settings". There you can see the options about the History. If it is "Off" you will see blank space with some text in there. In your case may be it is "off". Check with the other systems (Developemnt/Sand box) may be you can see the details. This is normally controlled by the BASIS people.

SAP BAI, BAI2 flat file format?

This file is used for SAP financial purposes and this does interact mainly with the Banks. Banks have different format like BAI, BAI2 etc. BAI and BAI2 formats differ in their level of information detail. BAI does not separate out the incoming check line items by invoice subtotal reference. Conversely, BAI2 splits the check total into separate invoice references and associated payment amounts. As a result, your hit rate percentage of payment-invoice matching from each transmission is likely to be higher when using BAI2 rather than BAI formats.

Usually how we approach (when we receive the file) is we will read the legacy file with file adapter and then will convert into the BAI file format and drop the converted file on a shared drive. There are standard programs in SAP which picks this file and loads the data in sap. If your client has different structure then the ABAPer may need to change the program accordingly.

The Bai file format you can take a look here:

DOCUMENTATION ON THE FORMAT

Also please look into this help:

Note 86952 - Electronic bank statemt:BAI format (you can see the standard programs here)

NOTES ON BANK STATEMENT

The bottom line is the standard program in SAP expects this format and using PI will make this file from your legacy file

Differences between SAP EC-CS and BCS

ECCS is R3 based consolidation system while SEM BCS is on top of BI or BW
server. There are following differences in ECCS and BCS.

•    BCS, integrated into SAP's Business Intelligence (BI) system, is a component of Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM)
•    Integration of BCS into Business Intelligence, not SAP R3, requires data to be transferred from FI R3 to the FI cube in BI
•    Data is consolidated in Cube thus it improves performance
•    The inclusion of BCS into SAP's BI allows a tight integration between Consolidation Processing and Consolidation Reporting
•    BCS BI Reporting provide a great deal of flexibility, allowing the user to select & analyze data to meet their specific business needs!
•    Can work with two conso units in one Data Set. Cost accounting values can be stored and can be used for reporting purpose.
•    BCS includes the following new tasks that were not included in ECCS:

1. Use of one monitor, including both Data and Consolidation tasks
2. Period Initialization
3. FIGL Datastream
4. LC Trial balance
5. Allocation
6. Elimination – IC Operating Lease
