• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM449 - Old transactional simulation deleted from database ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM449 Old transactional simulation deleted from database typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a transactional simulation that is no longer valid or has exceeded its retention period is deleted from the database. This can happen during various planning activities, such as running simulations or performing planning runs.
  Cause:
  
  Retention Policy: The system may have a retention policy that automatically deletes old transactional simulations after a certain period.
  Manual Deletion: A user or administrator may have manually deleted the simulation data.
  System Cleanup: Regular system maintenance or cleanup processes may have removed old simulations to free up space or improve performance.
  Data Consistency: The simulation data may have been deleted to maintain data consistency within the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Status: Verify if the simulation you are trying to access is indeed deleted. You can check the relevant transaction or report to see the list of available simulations.
  Recreate Simulation: If the simulation is deleted, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you have the necessary parameters and data to perform the simulation again.
  Adjust Retention Settings: If the deletion is due to retention settings, consider adjusting these settings in the system configuration to retain simulations for a longer period, if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of APO you are using for any additional guidance on handling simulations and retention policies.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you believe it is related to a bug or system error, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in APO, such as /SAPAPO/OM01 for simulations, to manage and monitor your simulations effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the deletion of the simulation.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your transactional simulations effectively in SAP APO.
