    Uploaded by

    SanjayMurthy
    The document discusses optimizers in APO, including their role in complex mathematical optimization, customizing settings, version checking, and installation planning. Optimizers are used for supply network planning, detailed scheduling, network design, vehicle scheduling and routing, sequencing, and capable-to-match. They can run on their own optimization servers to improve performance.

    Optimizers: Introduction

    APO optimizers are complex mathematical optimization


    algorithms written in C++
    They are built on top of C libraries from ILOG SA
    (co-development)
    There are optimizers for

    Supply Network Planning (SNP)

    Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)

    Network Design (ND)

    Vehicle Scheduling and Routing (VSR)

    Sequencing (SEQ)

    Capable-to-Match (CTM)

    They can be located on their own optimization server(s) to


    improve performance
    They are currently only available on Windows NT 4.0 / 2000

    SNP/ND Optimizer User

    A special user is required in the APO system to run SNP


    optimizer
    User role (single): /SAPAPO/SNP_EXPERTE
    User information (name and password) is stored on
    optimizer server in file <drive>:\apoopt\optuser.ini

    Limit the access to this file to administrator only

    Optimizer Installation
    Available only on Windows NT / 2000
    Installation with R3Setup
    Two installation possibilities:

    On an APO application server

    As a standalone optimizer server

    SAP Gateway has to be installed and started in this case

    All programs are installed to subdirectories of <drive>:\apoopt\


    A PP/DS optimizer should be installed on every optimizer
    machine, even if for example only SNP is used on the machine

    Reason: PP/DS optimizer has an internal remote administration


    functionality (such as OS process kill via /SAPAPO/OPT12)

    For a PP/DS installation that is never used, set in


    /SAPAPO/COPT01 Priority to 9 and MaxNoUsers to 0

    SAP AG 2001

    Optimizer Sizing
    Main memory requirements

    PP/DS: 512 MB is normally enough, depending on time horizon

    SNP: up to 2 GB at some customers, mostly depending on number


    of product/location combinations

    CPU requirements

    Estimate more than 1 CPU for one optimizer run because one
    optimizer can contain multiple threads

    Example: CPU usage on a 2-CPU machine during one optimizer run

    CPU 1: 80%

    CPU 2: 50%

    Especially SNP optimizations contain complex functions

    Disk requirements

    1 GB should normally be enough

    Better: as large as optimizer memory (for big traces and dumps)
