3544704 - Group Reporting: Activation of Group Reporting in an EC-CS client?

Official transition process from EC-CS to Group Reporting is described in SAP Note 2833748.

Activation of Group Reporting is described in FAQ SAP Note 2659672, point 1.1.

As stated there, "Note that by activating the Best Practice scope item XX_1SG_OP or running Initialize Settings in an EC-CS client, which contains EC-CS configuration without any transaction data in database table ECMCT, EC-CS becomes unusable!"

Nevertheless, user decided to run Initialize Settings as ECMCT is empty and existing EC-CS configuration is not needed any more. This means, by running Initialize Settings, EC-CS become unusable.

This article contains further guidance on the potentially required follow-up steps for this use case:

1. Deactivation of EC-CS Realtime Update.
   
   
2. Cleanup of EC-CS consolidation versions to defer error pop-up in Data Monitor app.
