If full sync has not been performed or is not going to be performed, all the necessary objects must be transferred to FSM manually, with the dedicated sending transactions (see the FSM Cloud Connector folder Send). On test systems, where just a few master data objects are necessary, it’s more practical to transfer all the necessary objects manually, e.g. a small range of test customers or materials, not to clutter the environment. On production tenants, the full sync is usually executed because all the master data may be needed. Keep in mind that newly created or changed objects in most cases will be transferred automatically to FSM, e.g. equipment, customers, service calls and activities, as long they’re assigned to an FSM-relevant plant/sales area, etc.
How can it be launched?
From FSM Admin
The recommended way to trigger full sync is via FSM Admin module, see the button Trigger Initial Synchronization:
...
From SAP ECC/S4
Another way to perform full sync is execution of the FSM Cloud Connector program /PACG/ECM_FULLSYNC_S - Fullsync simulate.
What is the opportunity/problem the request will address?
Improve efficiency of processing large number of idocs
What is the expected benefit?
Performance improvement.
What are FSM Cloud Connector customizing options that I should consider before performing the full sync?
Specify which message types are relevant for full sync (field “Fullsync rel.”). Review which objects really need to be fully synced. | /PACG/ECM_CLSASSIG - FSM Connector's Outgoing Messages Configuration |
Specify which order statuses are relevant for full sync (field “FullSync”) | |
Optionally generate reserved materials for already existing components and transfer them to FSM. Reserved materials are not generated automatically with full sync, therefore execution of a dedicated report in addition is necessary. | |
Optionally enable parallel upload flow of the SAP FSM Transporter component to improve full sync performance. | Company setting ‘TransporterSettings.MaxParallelUploadBatches’. Learn more:Initial-/full-sync performance improvement - parallel communication with SAP FSM |
Full sync alternatives
A process similar to full sync can be executed with the program /PACG/ECM_IDOC_30_DIRECT_SEND. Idocs for master data are collected into packages and then sent to FSM. The program requires changes in idoc processing (transaction WE20):
...
Generated idocs remain in status 30 and then they can be processed by the mentioned program. Input parameters are required. The report provides better efficiency of processing large number of idocs than the regular full sync process.
