It should be fairly painless. One huge advantage of using a seperate instance is that it can be R12 where as your EBS could still be a lower version (such as 11.5.x). This way you can use R12 advanced functionality without forcing an upgrade on everyone else in the company. Once you have installed the ASCP on that box, make sure you apply the latest UI RUP patch (only to ASCP instance) Then apply the latest collection patch to both instances (EBS and ASCP) Then create a dblink on EBS instance that points to ASCP and vice versa. Delete the plans on the EBS instance. Drop the plan partitions. Then delete the instance record in the EBS instance. Then drop the instance partition. Create an instance partition on ASCP instance. Create a new instance record in ASCP instance. Make sure you enter the right db link. After that select orgs to be included. Then run DC, configure responsibilitiy security. Then create plan partition(s). Define plan, configure plan options and run the plan. Hope this helps

Hi We are performing a demo on a single instance( I am using a single server setup with planning and transactional data on the same server) for Client Acceptance to go with ASCP. I created the Instance TST and Attached the org's. But in the Advance Planning the Source instance Setup details are not seen, also when I tried to enter the Parameters its showing as No Org Defined. Can any one help me with the steps I need to take to make the Plan run successfully. Also do I need to apply any Patches, Please Suggest Srinivas

you need to setup the instance in the ascp admin responsibility (enter null for db links for same instance), assign the orgs, and then from advanced supply chain planner responsibility run collection. you can define planning parameters for each org in souce using the mrp responsibility and thereby collect them or define the planning parameters for each org in the source. you also need to enable ascp organization security for all the orgs from the admin responsibility.

once you have done all that , make sure collections is run (complete refresh the first time around )- and before running collections you may have run refresh collections snapshot concurrent program (from ascp responsibility) in the source in a complete mode the first time around.. then you can proceed to defining your first plan.
