Activate sites - Activating the Sites concept

The final stage in the activation process is the actual multisite activation.

You can only execute this stage if:

  • You have super user authorization.
  • The activation status is In Preparation.

Before launching the activation:

  • Complete and successfully validate the setup in the In Preparation stage.
  • It is strongly recommended to create a backup of the company environment.

To activate the multisite concept:

  1. Click Activate on the Sites tab in the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) workbench session.

  2. Click Yes in the dialog box displaying the message: "This step will lock the companies to start the Data Upgrade Run. Do you want to continue?"

    Note: Locking the companies means that the sessions of the company environment are unavailable for end users during the execution of the process.

  3. In the Initialize Data Upgrade Run (ttspt2200m000) session that starts, specify the settings for the data upgrade run.

    • To immediately start the data upgrade run, select the Start Data Upgrade Engine After Initialization check box and click Initialize. See step 8 for the steps carried out during the data upgrade run.
    • Otherwise, clear this check box and see next step.

  4. Click Initialize to complete the creation of the data upgrade run and close the Initialize Data Upgrade Run (ttspt2200m000) session.

  5. Start the Data Upgrade Runs (ttspt2500m000) session.
  6. Select the data upgrade run created in the previous steps and if required, adjust the settings.

  7. In the appropriate menu, select Data Upgrade Engine.

  8. In the Data Upgrade Engine (ttspt2201m000) session that opens, check the run settings if required and click Continue to start the data upgrade run. You can run the process in simulation mode first.

    The data upgrade run includes these steps:

    1. Revalidate the master data setup.
    2. Add sites to operational data such as orders, quotations, claims, shipments, and so on, that are not stored in history tables.
    3. Set the Sites concept to Active in the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) workbench session.

    4. Unlock the sessions of the company environment.

      Note: This means that from this step onward, end users can resume working in the company environment.

    5. Assign sites to history data, that is, orders, shipments, quotations, and so on that are present in history tables.
Note: In case of errors during the revalidation of the master data setup, an error report is created and the process stops. You must manually correct the errors and restart the data upgrade run starting the Data Upgrade Runs (ttspt2500m000) session and clicking Data Upgrade Engine.
