Retrieve responsible resources for a role in cProjects

Hey all,
I would like to display a list of assigned/unassigned resources corresponding to a role for tasks grouped under individual projects. I am not sure how I can find a relationship between the roles and resources using the tables. It would be really helpful if you could give some pointers on how I can approach this issue.
Thanks
Vin

Hi
Please check, if the report DPR_GET_ALL_PROJECT_ROLES available in your system or not, it is delivered by a hotpackage.
Otherwise, you can use the selections direct of the tables, briefly it should be like following.
dpr_project : get the guid of the project
cgpl_hierarchy. using project = guid, object_type = MTG, you get all roles of the project.
dpr_part : details about the roles.
dpr_bupa_link: assigned business part guid.
KInd regards,
Zhenbo

Multiple Resources for one role CATS scenario

Hi
We are on cPro 4.5 sp 006
the scenario is
One Role (say Consultant): Multiple Resources (say Niranjan, Amit) at a time (using Edit in parallel)
We have Time confirmation against Role
We have activated Confirmations against Project header as well
now when i try to enter time in CAT2 for Niranjan (who is staffed first) i get all attributes like Project, Project subobject, WBS element etc.
for Amit however I get project and WBS header and I get Subobject as Object does not have a de
It allows Amit to save data but when i try to transfer data to cProjects using Report the program throws error.
Thus for single resource staffing it works not for multiple staffed resources
Any inputs on this.

How to retrieve the approvers for a role..???

I am tring to retieve the approver for a particular role using a workflow.
But i am not able to retieve it, i have tried "get approvers" method but i am not very much familiar as to what condition should i give to make it run.
Any help in this regard will be great.

If you have an app that doesn't work then have you tried deleting it and then redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If that doesn't fix it then have you tried contacting the developer of the app (thereshould be a link to the developer's site on the app's description page in the store) ?
If you don't get a reply from the developer then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (we are fellow users on here) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Allocating multiple accounts on a resource through multiple roles

Is there anyway for IdM to cater for the following scenario
Role 1 -> Allocates accounts on Resources A & B
Role 2-> Allocates accounts on Resources A & C
Such that when a User is given both Roles, their account list is
(1st) account on A, account on B, (2nd) account on A, account on C
rather than the aggregate of (1 only) Account on A,account on B, account on C.
And if, say, Role 1 is revoked for the account on Resource A as provisioned by Role 1 is the only account to be revoked on the resource allowing the 2nd account on Resource A (as provisioned through the still active Role 2) to still be managed
Thanks
--Calum

Yes, it should be possible, but messy.
The easiest way would be to create separate resources for the roles. So you'd have two configured resources for the same target, and the roles would assign the separate resources. You'd have to make sure that the target resources account names are different because usually they are required to be unique.

Searching for tasks based on Responsible Resource

Hi All,
I am having a requirement to search for all the tasks within cProjects based on the Responsible Resource field in cProjects. I am planning to design a custom Webdynpro application for this purpose. The requirement is that when i enter the user name of a person the entire list of tasks for which that user is the responsible resource is to be displayed.
Can anyone tell the related tables for this purpose? i want to know which table contains the Responsible Resource field. Also, i would like to know which tables are related to this functionality. If anyone can give me an idea to get me started, that would be great.
Best Regards,
Mazin

Hi Mahmood,
You've probably already figured this out, but you might want to look into DPR_ENTITY_LINK.This table lists role assignments to task. The fields that would be of interest to you are the following:
- Entity_GUID = Task GUID (system value)
- Participant_GUID (system value)
- Responsible (boolean) - part-guid is "responsible role"
- Concrete (boolean) - part-guid has "resource' (concrete role)
- Entity Type (of structure item)
Note, though, that this table will not have entries if there are no role assignments in your tasks. Since you're trying to identify responsible resources (concrete role), this won't be an issue when querying the table.
Good luck.

Items in the cats-worklist for responsible resources

Hello,
I try to implement cProjects with CATS. Everything is fine except one thing:
Every user has some tasks assigned. The employee is able to record his times to the tasks. This is correct.
But the responsible resource also has the tasks he is "responsible for" (defined in the task general tab) in this worklist. Is it possible to exclude this tasks?
How can I avoid the task's responsible employee to be able to record times to this task if he is not assigned to it directly via task->assign?
Thank you,
Vanessa

Hello Zhenbo,
thank you for your answer. Somehow I don't get the point with "the program explizitly excludes such ressource". I think that it includes the ressources.
There is the boss that is responsible for the projects/phases/tasks. This boss sees all the task he is responsible for. But we would prefer that he only sees the tasks that are really assigned to him. How could this would if we don't want to use two users?
Thx, Vanessa

How to trigger approval request for resources after assigning role

Hi,
We have a use case where we need to assign resources to user via assigning roles.
In order to achive this use case
1. we have created a role and assigned the access policy to it which contain the resources to be provisioned once the role is assigned to the user.
2. Created a SOA composite having manager approval and assigned this composite to a approval policy of type 'Assign Role'.
3. I am already having the approval policy for the resources which are present in roles. The approval policy of resources is of type "Provision Resource".
4. Also the SOA composite for resource apporal is deployed in OIM and assigned to the approval policy.
5. Now when I am raising the request from OIM of type "Assign Role" the approval defined in the SOA composite for Role approval gets triggered. After approving the role request the role is assigned to the user and also the resources defined in the access policy gets provisioned to teh user account.
Now I want to trigger the resource approval process after the role approval instead of directly provisioning the resources. So that once the role is approved the individual Approval Process of resources part of roles should also gets invoked. Based on the approval or rejection of resources approval, the resource gets assigned to the user.
Please let me know how to achieve the above use case.
Thanks in advance

Access policy is saying whoever gets xyz role, will get this abc resource. Now once a user gets xyz role, you are stopping to get abc resource? both are contradictory. Don't go through access policy. User is anyway going to request for roles. Modify your flow and make user request for resource. Have your composite and approval policy attached. User will get resource once it is approved.

CProject, task based costing, strat. 10, plan price for the role in ctr acc

Hello all.
According to the costing logic described in R/3 library the following strategies are available for costs when using task based controlling.
Costs for task
4.      Different costs which you entered for the task
5.      Costs per activity unit for the task in Customizing
Costs for roles
8.      Different costs which you entered for the project role
9.      Costs per activity unit for the role in Customizing
10.      Plan price for the role in cost center accounting
Do anyone have experience with using strategy 10? If so, please elaborate.
Thanks for your help / Anders

Hi Sejo,
Thanks for your reply, Standalone cProjects works, but obviuosly it has to be integrated with ECC and configuration related to accounting in ERP has to be done.
Scenario is that I have created a Project and before transferring it to ECC(creation of internal order) I should be able to calculate the cost from cProjects, as these are just rough cost based on cost/revenue rate.Later when I calculate cost using internal order from ECC it should overwite.
Additionally as per the link I have already done the required configuration.
1.     Activate Integration
2.     Define Object Links for Accounting Integration
        Default entry: 0FIN_INT_SOC_R3
         defined RFC destination . Is webserver to be defined - required ?
3.     Make General Settings
4.     Define Cost/Revenue Rates
        Cost revenue rates are defined here.
        I havent maintained Organisation unit as it takes default 'zero'.
5.     Replicate Cost/Revenue Rates
        To replicate cost revenue rates from Cprojects to ERP.
6.     Replicate Accounting-Relevant Characteristics
7.     Make Settings in ERP System
        Make settings in ERP system related to controlling
        Create and Change Controlling Scenario
        Define Controlling Scenario
        Settings for Easy Cost Planning
Assign Cost Elements and Activity Types > Activity type must be open for period and must have proper cost element. (can be maintained in tcode: KP26).
Then also for Task based costing is not calculating and for role based it is showing Negative.
Please guide me where it is going wrong.Is it related to Organisational Mapping?

Resource availability (xRPM 4.0/cProjects 4.0)

I have a question about resource availability in xRPM/cProjects 4.0
What do i need to do to be able to see real availability of my resources?
Do i need to set up the link to HR, do i need WFD?
Can i see the availability decrease if users have booked holiday time or training in their CATS?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jocelyn,
As per cProjects 3.1 and 4.0, it is possible to use WFD with cProjects. In project roles, it can be specified if a role is relevant for WFD or not.
Note 900310 discusses the following:
Enhanced resource management using the RPA (Resource Planner Application) and the Workforce Deployment (WFD) servers: As up to now, WFD can be used as an enhanced scenario for resource planning in cProjects to staff project roles externally or to show resource availability. However, you must install the liveCache in an separate instance in order to use these functions. See the notes in the Master Guide. In this case (when you use cProjects outside the SAP Enterprise Portal), the 'Resource planning' tab title is available at the highest navigation level in cProjects. When you use the SAP Enterprise Portal, you can use the 'Resource Planner' CRM portal role. For further information, see Note 939501. If you intend to use cProjects 4.0 with the RPA and WFD servers, all three must be installed on the same system.
Please let me know if WFD is forbidden for higher versions of cProjects, and if yes - what are the alternatives available.
Thanks,
Vivek Pandey

Query reg. Resource and time allocation in cProjects

Wondering if someone can answer this query related to - Resource and time allocation in cProjects.
I understand the following regarding creating cProject -
1 - Project manager creates a cProject for any upcoming new project in the organization.
2 - Phases and Tasks will be created automatically (at our end) based on the template selected while creating the cProject.
3 - Project manager assigns the resources to the project.
4 - Allocate start date and end date for the resources against Tasks or Phase -
> This is the point where there isn't enough documentation to help me progress further. Please can someone suggest how and where do we specify the start date and end date to a resource in cProject.
A sample document on the BEST approach to create cProject, assign reources to tasks, allocate start date and end date would indeed help further clarify my doubt.
I wante to create a cProject with various tasks, assign resources, start and end date for each task. As the project progresses,
I want to execute a report to track the progress of this cProject as resources go on completing a task.
Thanks,
RB

Hi Pramod,
Thanks for your reply. Below are some queries based on few points mentioned by you.
Allocate start date and end date for the resources against Tasks or Phase -
When we prepare Project template, we define all project structure with phase, tasks, milestones, etc. - OK
Also we define phase and task depedency, duration for tasks. - OK
In actual Project execution PM creates project with reference to template, he add or delete any task / phase, changes duration if required. - How do you change duration of the task ? What series of events or clicks need to be followed ? Would be nice if atleast one option is listed.
While in project planning, planner has to enter start and end date for project. - OK
cProject scedules all other dates accordingly. We need not to go to individual phase or task to adjust dates. one can adjust only duration and depency to get required dates for tasks. This is standard planning phelosophy used in CPR, MSP or Primavra I believe. - At phase level, I can see Earliest start + finish and Latest start + finish dates populated automatically. In addition Start date constraint and Finish data constraints fields are available and empty. Is it mandatory to enter these dates ?
While doing resource assignment, the start and end dates are coming from task assigned to particular Project Role. - At Task level, I can see Earliest start + finish and Latest start + finish dates populated automatically. In addition Start date constraint and Finish data constraints fields are available and empty. Is it mandatory to enter these dates ?
cProjects automatically schedules the plan in create status, once the project released and actual status updated in cProjects, Project plan needs to schedules manually with help of schedule button in Project menu.- When I click Schedule button, message - Bottom-up scheduling was carried out is populated on screen. What is Bottom-up scheduling ?
Would be nice to get reply to above queries.
Thanks,
RB

Workflow Notifications not sending for AdHoc Role

Hi,
I am trying to send my workflow to multiple dynamic users, using the call createAdHocRole.
Here is my code (I currently am using 2 user names for testing. This will be eventually be a variable) :
+-- create role --+
apps.wf_directory.createAdHocRole(v_role_name -- role name
+, v_role_name -- role display name+
+, null -- language+
+, null -- territory+
+, null -- role description+
+, null -- notification preference+
+, 'JEHANSEN,DCDRIGGS' -- role users+
+, null -- email addresses+
+, null -- fax+
+, 'ACTIVE' -- status+
+, trunc(sysdate) + C_PURGE);+
When I run the workflow, it runs with no errors, but I am not receiving any emails. I can view the workflow in the Status Monitor and I see the Notification being created and it shows my new role as the performer. Both usernames that I am using for the Role Users are setup as Users and Employees in the environment.
I've queried the WF_USER_ROLES_ASSIGNMENTS table and I see my new role there, and both usernames are in the table. Both users are also in WF_USERS with email addresses, and also in WF_LOCAL_USER_ROLES. When I query WF_NOTIFICATIONS, I see the notification being created there, with a status of OPEN, receipient_role being my new role, mail_Status is blank, responder is blank, original_recipient is my new role, from_user is the supplier, and to_user is my role name .
Can anyone see what I am missing? I thought if I create the role with a null email_address it then sends email to all users in that role? It probably doesn't matter, but these are being submitted upon the change of a PO in iSupplier (Oracle Apps).
Thanks,
Janel

Hi,
Once you have created the role, they can be referenced in your Workflow process in the same way as an other role. For example, create an ad-hoc role "MYTEST123" using the standard WF_DIRECTORY API. Then you can use this as the notification recipient in your process.
If you are creating the roles dynamically within a process, then once the role has been created, set an item attribute (e.g. attribute NTF_RECIPIENT) to the name of the new adhoc role, and then have the notification recipient set to the value of the item attribute.

Is OIA supports adding Multiple data owners for single role?

Hi
Can you please let me know, if we can assign multiple data owners under resources tab, data mangement tab.
Or with glossory upload using file based?
The intension to keep backup data owner for each role for certifications.
Thanks

No, OIA does not support multiple data owner. You also cannot target the backup data owner in certification.

Wf_engine.context_text for a role returns a role name

wf_engine.context_text for a role returns a role name on forward or transfer of a notification but i need to capture the username of the person in that role. Do we have any API for that?
Thank you all.
Kumar

Hi,
If the notification is being actioned from a worklist, then you can find out the current user using FND_GLOBAL.
If the notification is being actioned from an email then you will have the email address of the responder and will need to resolve that manually by looking in WF_USERS / WF_ROLES to find who is responding to the notification.
