SCM APO have 2 databases.

1. Data Base server- MASTER data stored.
2. Livecache server- Transnational data stored.

The first one is in BW as Info Cubes and second data is stored in Live CACHE. The data stored in Live Cache is USED for planning and processing during TRANSACTIONS. Cubes are only for storing data and backing up data. The whole reason for making APO as a different server (box) is to make the process of simulation FASTER using Live Cache memory database which is faster than accessing the data stored in tables in other ECC module.
