On-premise

The difference between on-premise and other deployments is provided in this topic.

Prerequisites

  • You must install M3 Scheduling Workbench on-premise.
  • You must setup ION API for M3 Scheduling Workbench. See Setting up ION API.
  • You must setup M3 BE for M3 Scheduling Workbench. See Setting up M3 BE.

Starting M3 Scheduling Workbench

Follow these steps to setup M3 Scheduling Workbench on-premise.

  1. From the start menu, launch M3 Scheduling Workbench.
  2. Verify if the correct Schedule Version is used.

    Alternatively, you can also import another Schedule Version.

  3. Specify the ION API OAuth2 credentials and verify the information displayed. See Configuring SWB to use OAuth2 credentials for ION API.
  4. Select ION API JSON text, then click Paste ION API JSON text from clipboard to paste the content from the ION API file.
  5. Click Test logon.

    A message is displayed that the test logon succeeded.

  6. Click OK.
  7. On the Planning Area section, specify this information:
    Company
    Verify if the company value displayed is correct.
    Warehouse group
    Specify the warehouse group defined in MMS009.
  8. On the Miscellaneous section, specify this information:
    M3 BE user
    Verify if the M3 BE user displayed is correct.
    Tenant ID
    Verify if the tenant ID displayed is correct.
  9. On the Selection of Order section, specify this information:
    Horizon for section of orders
    Specify the horizon for selection of order value.
    Division
    Verify if no exclamation mark is displayed. If exclamation mark is displayed, then the calendar in CRS900 is not defined in Horizon for section of orders. You can extend the division calendar or reduce the horizon for selection of orders until the exclamation mark is no longer displayed.
  10. Click OK.
  11. Run Initialize plan.

    Review the Messages lines displayed. You should define the bottleneck resource with finite capacity. Validate that only bottleneck resources are defined with finite capacity and the errors and warnings are fixed. If Shift Patterns are only in the past, you must extend the shift patterns for M3 Scheduling Workbench to create a plan. See Setting up M3 BE.
