Lesson 1 Export IPK for Control Sets and Data Mapping
Exercise 1: EXPORT ControlSet IPK
Using your ICStudent login/password, login to the consultant server:

http://ottvmd364/RapidResponse//

LOGIN: studentnn

PASSWORD: kinaxis1 (will require you to change the password)

Open the Administration Panel

Select Integration Utilities

Select Export

Be patient…it takes about 20 seconds for the next screen.

Make sure the scenario is ROOT

Select Control Sets (17 of 17)

Select the

Clear All the choices and then Select only the SAP Control Set – Integration Training Course

Click OK and then NEXT

Name your IPK something meaningful. It will be stored on your laptop.

Click SAVE (The file will be saved on your laptop)

Select CLOSE
Select CLOSE again

Notes:

Each customer deployment begins with an environment that contains a Default Site and a Default Control Set.

Each Site must have a control set assigned to it. Hence, the Default Site is assigned the Default Control Set.

The consultant server contains various versions of control sets that have been developed over time. These control sets
represent different environments, such as: OracleEBS, SAP and Baan. These control sets can be leveraged during the
deployment, to avoid having to “start from scratch” to properly set the rules associated with the values on each of the control
tables.

The control sets can be easily moved from the source environment to the destination environment via an IPK Import and
Export process.
Exercise 2: EXPORT Data Sources and Mapping IPK
Open the Administration Panel

Select Integration Utilities

Select Export

Be patient…it takes about 20 seconds for the next screen.

Make sure the scenario is ROOT

Select Data source and mapping (24 of 24)

Select the

Clear All the choices and then Select only the SAP_Integration Training Data Source
Click OK and then NEXT

Name your IPK something meaningful. It will be stored on your laptop.

Click SAVE (The file will be saved on your laptop)

Select CLOSE

Select CLOSE again

The login to the consultant server will be closed by you.

Notes:

The initial install of a new customer deployment does not contain a Data Sources and Mapping. If not using the Integration
Tool Kit, a traditional Data Sources and Mapping will be performed.

As such, similar to Control Sets, the consultant server also contains Data Sources and Mapping Templates that can be
leveraged and used as a starting point. Additionally, the templates have been developed over time and align with various
source environments, such as: SAP, Oracle EBS and Baan.

The data sources and mapping templates can be easily moved from the source environment to the destination environment
via an IPK Import and Export process.
Lesson 2 is not a good header
Exercise 1:

Using your VM connection to RapidReponse:

Create a new scenario for importing your control sets and data mapping created in the previous section:

Select NEW SCENARIO button

Enter @Integration as the NAME and Based on: Enterprise Data

Select OK

You should now see a new private scenario

Make your scenario PERMANENT and AUTO UPDATED

NOTE: only SHARED scenarios can be PERMANENT and AUTO UPDATED

RightClick on @Integration. Select Share

SELECT: Select Names

DoubleClick on your LOGIN NAME (share it with yourself)

Select OK

Select OK again

RightClick on the Scenario Name. SELECT Properties

Select: Automatic

Select: Permanent

SAVE
Note: It is best practice to create a new Integration Scenario that will be used for integration activities including: Modifying
Control tables and Modifying Data Sources and Mapping.

The objective is to isolate all changes relative to integration activities in a scenario that will be committed to the Enterprise
scenario at appropriate points of the deployment.
Lesson 3 Import the ControlSet IPK
Exercise 1:

Open the Administration Panel

Select Integration Utilities

Select Import

Select the Control Set IPK file you saved in Lesson 1 Exercise 1.

Select Next

Select Control set (1 of 1)

Scenario Name: Import IPK from Consultant Server

Based on: @Integration

Select: Import

Scan the Error display to ensure all records are valid.

NOTE: OFConfiguration is a calculated control tables and will always show as invalid. All other tables should have valid
counts.

Select Import Valid Records

You should see this message:

Note: you can review the Details but it should match the previous display.

Select OK

Commit your private scenario to @Integration

RightClick on scenario Import ControlSet IPK from Consultant Server

Select Commit

Select After Commit: Delete this scenario

Commit Shared Scenario @Integration to Enterprise

RightClick on scenario @Integration

Select Commit

Select Yes

Select OK

The SAP Control Set has now been commited to Root (Enterprise)

You can verify by opening the workbook ControlSets in the Administration menu

Note: The scenario commit has effectively moved the new control set to the Root (Enterprise) scenario.

Note: The @Integration scenario is not deleted because it is ‘Permanent’
