Time Constraint

Hi All,
Can you please tell me how to view all the infotypes which fall under a particular category. For example, what are infotypes that are of category 'A'.
Thanks,
Ranjith.

The field ZEITB in the table T582A holds the time constraint of the Infotype.
1. Execute the transaction SE16
2. Click on the Table Contents button in the toolbar
3. Ensure that the Time Constraint field is available for selection
(If not availble, add the field by following the menu path Settings->Fields for selection)
4.Input the value of the time constraint (Ex: 1 or A)
5. Now, click on execute, the system lists all the infotypes with the selected time constraint.

Hi,
Well, are you trying to do a batch input on infotype 0000? If yes you need to check that the proposed values respects the time constraint, meaning no gap, no overlaps and no inversions. Also fields SUBTY, OBJPS, SPRPS and SEQNR must remain initial when processing IT0000...

Time Constraint for Boundary Events

Hi experts.
I am pretty new to BPM (NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.1 SP04 BPM SP05) and I am just making a test process to try to get the time constraint concept right. So far I have three tasks in my process, very much like a textbook example. In my first task I have an input field in which you're supposed to type in your name, which is then saved to the context and triggers the second task when completed. That second task is nothing but a screen displaying "You successfully generated a second task, (with the name you entered in the first task here)."
That works fine so far. Then there's the third task, which is linked to a boundary event on the second event with a start deadline which is critical exception. Here's the idea... You complete the first task (name input), then you fail to start the second task within a certain amount of time defined by an expression, so the process should go to the third task because of the deadline. By the way, it works fine when using a default time, so I must be doing something right so far, the problem is when trying to dynamically change the time with the expression.
What I tried was to define a context attribute type time and date (I tried both) and assigning a time (current time plus whatever amount of minutes) to that attribute via Java coding at the time you click on the button which completes the task, then use that context element in the expression, but that didn't work. I also tried to make that context attribute an integer and set it to whatever amount of minutes I want to use for the deadline, then in the expression get the current time and add that afore mentioned integer to its minutes. That didn't work either.
Please help, I have seriously done some research, and no success yet.

Time Constraints and Boundary Events in BPM

Hi all,
I have done the following:
In the Task window, Time Constraints tab
- Checked "Define a default completion deadline" with the offset as 3 minutes.
- Checked the "Raise critical exception when deadline is reached" checkbox.
In the boundary events for the activity, I have added "CompletionDeadlineIsCriticalException".
From the boundary event, I have linked to to another activity that belongs to another user (User B).
When i am testing the BPM, the task goes into a Suspended status after 3 minutes. However User B did not received a new item in the UWL.
In the NWA, "Manage Process: Process Instances", i can see that Task is escalated by null and the status is suspended.
Does anyone has any advice over here?
Thank you.

Hi,
i have checked the BPEM-CORE version as instructed.
It says 1000.7.11.2.0.20090321233900
Does that means I need to update to the latest patch?
Please also check the version of your NWDI build plug-in BPEM-BUILDT in the respective NWDI track. This is used to build Process Composer DCs in your NWDI.
I am in the Development Infrastructure Perspective in NWDS
How do i check the version number for BPEM-BUILDT in the NWDI?
Thank you.

Any report to identify Time Constraint issues?

Hello,
Is there a report that I can run to get the employees and Infotype records with time constraint issues? So until last week, we had not turned on the PC-UI switch in T77S0 table. So the way it worked was, if in history there were 2 records with time gaps for Infotype with time constraint = 1, then it still allowed us to create new records. Now with the switch turned on, it gives an error. Once the historic records are corrected, it allows us to proceed. This is freaking out a lot of data specialists, and we were wondering if we can proactively identify the employees with these historic data inconsistencies and be able to correct them. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Nakul

Time constraints for IT0377

Hello All,
For the Benefits IT, 0377, we are using a benefit area 08 and subtype 0001.
For this Benefit Area and Subtype, we have configured several Benefit Plans such as BUPA, CYCL, TRVL etc.
We want to set the time constraint such that for an employee, multiple benefit plans for the same period can exist (Time Constraint 3), but at the same time, there should be no overlapping record for the same benefit plan.
for Ex, a BUPA can exist from 01.01.2007 - 01.01.2008 and
a CYCL could exist from 01.01.2007 - 01.01.2008 <i><b>but</b></i>
another BUPA with 15.01.2007 - 15.09.2007 should not be allowed. In this case the earlier BUPA should be delimited.
If I use time constraint 1 or 2 I cannot create multiple benefit plans, as all previous records with the same time range are deleted.
How can I configure the Infotype such that the above requirement can be fulfilled?
Thank You,
Vaishali

Hi..
I don't think it can be done, as this as time constraint depends on the startdate and enddate, and it has no connection with the Benifit Plan .

Position to Cost Center Relationship with time constraint 1

Hi,
I have a situation wherein:
1. There exists 2 records in PP01 with S-K relationship e.g. 01.01.2013 to 28.02.2013 and 01.03.2013 to 31.12.9999
2. There is a requirement to create another S-K record with dates; 01.02.2013-28.02.2013 automatically delimiting the first record.
Hence in all three records should exist
But when i try creating the 3rd record with end date 28.03.2013, it gives an information message stating End Date corrected to maximum end date of 31.12.9999. Thereby over writing the previous record(2nd one)
Do I need to change time constraint? Time constraint 1 should ideally allow this, as my records do not have gaps and exist at all times.
Please guide me through.

Hi Rohan,
Please check the table V_T777ZVK and the time constraint between S and A011 it must be 02 as per the standard system.
Then time constraint 2 means a maximum of one infotype record of the same type for the same object at the same time.
So if you change then end date must be 31.12.9999.

How to make a custom infotype field the time constraint 1?????

Hello everyone I have this challenging question for gurus to answer it.
In custom created infotype for OM Ii have that field called ZZJOBID. When infotype was created I assigned the time constraint 1 for that infotype. That time constraint was base on OBJID not on ZZJOBID. Now the problem I am encountering is when I assign the 2nd ZZJOBID with time span 01011800-12319999 it overwrite the 1st assign ZZJOBID.
for the requirement reason I have to use PO10( not po03). If I change the time constraint to 3 which let me have the multiple records but I am losing the delimit and other functionality which comes with time constraint 1.

Suresh,
you are wright when you say that ' Time Constraint is for the Infotype/Subtype record and cannot be based off a field.' The OM infotype runs on bases of Object such as Organizational Unit, Job, etc... The point I was trying to draw is I am looking for a way that allow me to work via TC PO10 which run on Organizational Unit along with different ZZJOBID (with same begda and endda, if needed).

Get a process variable's value to set a task's time constraints

Hi,
I want to have my task expiration times determined by a process variable (Data Object Artifact) that defines a task's "time to live".
The problem is that I don't have visibility of the process variables inside the Time Constraint's Expression editor.
Is there a way to get a value of a process variable inside a task without modifying the Web Dynpro associated with the task?
Thank you,
Pietro

Hi Pietro,
As the task is associated with the WD mapped to it, we will be able to access only the WD Interface controller context associated with it and also few other Task attributes.

Deleting an Infotype with Time Constraint 1 - programatically

Hi there,
We have a few records (IT0008), that need to be deleted. Unfortunately, when we use PA30 to delete, it won't delete the record(s). (Displays the error msg. "Record has time constraint 1" ) But, when we use the Utilities option in PA30 and go thru', it appears to successfully delete the same.
Now, could somebody pl. let us know how to go abt. doing the same programatically in ABAP ? I've tried looking at the FM's HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA and HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION (without much luck though....Although, SAP claims to have a documentation of these FM's, there is actually no proper docmn. at the Field level of these FMs)
Moreover, the FM HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA returns exactly the same error "Record has time constraint 1".
Am a bit baffled as it is...
Any help would be gratefully acknowledged and appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Kind Regards,
RVS

there is no function module to do forbidden actions.
you only can do it with DELETE statement.
select single dbtab from t777d into gv_dbtab where infty = p_infty.
delete from (gv_dbtab) where pernr in p_pernr.
But you will have to be very carefully. There are "blind" infotypes behind some "normal" infotypes you will have to care about (i.e. 0000 -> 0302).

Time constraint in Smart Playlists

All,
I'm having a problem with my smart playlists as soon as I add a time contraint to them. Basically, I would like to make sure that in certain playlist I don't have any song that is longer than 10:00 minutes. As soon as I add a constraint for that to any of my playlists, iTunes starts acting weird by placing songs into the playlists that shouldn't be there (ruled out by "genre" or "My Rating" constraint) or simply by not updating the Playlist anymore. Removing the time constraint will update my playlist correctly again. This result is reproducable.
Anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Heiko.

Daniel,
thanks for your response, and here's some more info:
- I've use the time contraint in multiple playlists, that have worked just fine before adding the time constraint;
- initially, after adding a time constraint (usually something like "time" "is less than" "10:00") everything seemed fine;
- only a few days later I noticed that my playlist hadn't been updated correctly. For example, one of my playlists consists of songs rated 4 and I limit to 50 songs by least recently played; with over 900 songs rated 4, after a song was played it should disappear from that playlist for a while but some songs didn't; also, sometimes I would see less than 50 songs in that playlist;
- after removing the time constraint the playlist updated correctly again
I know that the fact this only appears after a few days (or that I've only noticed it a few days later) makes it pretty tough to narrow down but that's all I've got so far.
Thanks again,
Heiko.

Time Constraints....Help

Guys,
Need help.
I want the standard SAP time constraints (or a copy ) of the TCs from t554y.
i have been experimenting in it and now i dont have the original.....
problem is am not able to overwrite my absence with an attendance...
have used 1 as the Tc for both the Attd and Abs.
though am using "A", am not able to over write.system says "check collisions, not able to insert your attendance"
wht to do..

HI
i want to overwrite it. thatswhy i am taking help of TCs....
and it can be done , but i donno how..
only thing i know os we shuld change in 554y table.

Hi,
This occurs because the absence record is present for that period. Please delete that record and then enter your attendance for that day.
You can change the TC in table T554Y.
Hope this helps,

Time Constraints - Hr ABAP

Hi Everyone
Can anybody throw some light on the various time constraints used in the HR-ABAP and their relation to the infotypes.
Also specify if their some Transaction code from where we can get to know about the value's of the time constraints.
And also if their's any Table associated with them.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Please refer to the document below:
When you update an infotype, old data is not lost but archived for historical evaluation. The system records a specific period of validity for each infotype, This enables the system to store more than one infotype record at the same time, even if their validity periods overlap. This means that the time relationships between infotype records must be defined. The concept of time constraints enables you to do this.
HR master data uses the following three time constraints:
Time Constraint 1
For the entire time that the employee works at the enterprise, exactly one valid infotype record must exist. The validity periods of the individual records must not overlap. If a new record is created, the system automatically uses the start date of the new record as the delimitation date of the old record. Gaps are only allowed between the employees entry date and the start date of the first record.
Time constraint 1 must be used for all of the infotypes containing information that must be available at all times. This is particularly true of personal and organizational assignment data.
If a record is delimited because of time constraint 1, the system displays an appropriate message.
Time Constraint 2
No more than one valid record can exist at any one time. Records with constraint 2 must not overlap. Their existence is not obligatory. If a new record is created, the system automatically delimits the previous record, if one exists.
If a record is delimited because of time constraint 2, the system displays an appropriate message.
Time Constraint 3
Any number of valid records can exist at any one time. The individual records do not conflict with each other.
The system also contains the following time constraint indicators:
Time Constraint A
Infotypes with time constraint A must have no more than one record. The system automatically assigns the record a validity period from January 01, 1800 through December 31, 9999. This validity period cannot be subdivided.
Infotype records with time constraint A cannot be deleted.
Time Constraint B
Infotypes with time constraint B must have no more than one record. The system automatically assigns the record a validity period from January 01, 1800 through December 31, 9999. This validity period cannot be subdivided.
Infotype records with time constraint B can be deleted.
Time Constraint T
Infotype records with time constraint T depend on the subtype.
The principles of data entry and time constraints that apply to infotypes ensure that data is consistent and accurate. They also constitute the basis of time recording, payroll accounting, and reporting.
Thanks,
Sriram Ponna.

Time Constraints on ESS - Record Working Time and Leave Request

Hi All,
I have configured Time Constraints and their reaction in V_T554Y.
When I record the appropriate combination of Attendances and Absences in back-end, I can see the reactions as specified... However, when I try to do the same in ESS - Recording Working Time and Leave Request, I do not see that Time Constraints taking effect on the front end.
Here is what I have done:
I have two attendance - P001 and P002. P001 is configured to be recorded on Leave Request where as P002 is configured to be recorded via Record Working Time (CATS) link.
I record the attendance P001 in Leave Request and also post that into infotypes. After this, I try to record P002 in the Record Working Time Screen and I still get errors (Errors are from: HRTIM00REC E/207 and LR E/335)
If I try to replicate the same in the back-end in IT20002, then there is no issues.
Can anyone help and let me know how we can implement the same Time constraints reactions on the front-end and the back-end.
Thanks a bunch
- Harshal

Note that Time constraints are not valid for Leave request and Working time ie in ESS
it only comes via PA30
in CATS too, we dont follow much HR related collisions checks these are taken into consideration during CAT6
and in leave request via Rptarqpost
so its not gonna work, Its intended and correct! go for a user exit cats0003 or check cac1 profile customisation

Time Constraints for objects and relationships

Hi,
How to set up time constraints for objects and relationships under Org Management?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you need time constraint for subtype A002 then you have to define it over here.
Usually for all standard objects this table gets populated by SAP. But in case you want something which is not there in this table and is as per the client requirement, you can create.
