Adjusting time based on rule

Hi all,
I two fields in my screen start time and end time.
Based on start time i want adjust my end time.
Here is my rule
The above rule is not working any suggestions will be advisable.
Regards,
Gupta

Gupta,
The rule looks fine. It should add 30 minutes to whatever time is in PlannedStartTime. Questions:
Where are you using this rule? As an update rule on another field? Transaction screen?
What data types are the fields? DateTime, or Time?
When you say it isn't working, what is it doing then?

Time Based Workflow - how to make it work?

Hello,
Has anyone successfully built a Time Based Workflow? Could you share your examples?
For me it does not work properly.
I have tried to set up 2 workflows: on Opportunity Close Date and Account Contract Expiration Date.
- Account Contract Expiration Date: I want an Account Owner to get an email notification exactly 6 months before the contract with his client expires. However - the email is triggered each time the record is modified - so I have seen in the workflow monitor that users on the date of contract expiration - 180 days will receive as many emails as many times they modified the record! Is there a way to avoid this situation?
- Opportunity Close Date - I want to send an email to Opportunity Owner's Manager - 10 days after the opportunity was closed. However - there will be the same issue as above + the wait action is not working with a PRE function.
Please let me know what you think and if you have already built a Time Based Workflow that works correctly.
Edited by: MagdaR on May 18, 2010 1:57 AM

Let's start with the workflow for Opty Close Date.
There are a lot of ways to do this, so you'll need to evaluate which way is best for your case, but the basics are to check to ensure that the opty is closed for the first time, then set the flag. In order to accomodate for the opty being closed when it is created, you will have to consider a post default for the flag in addition to the workflow.
In this case, you could create a workflow on Opty using the before modified record saved trigger event. In the Rule Condition, have the workflow check for a closed opty and if the status changed to closed during this modification. There are a number of options to validate this, including sales stage = Closed/Won or Lost, Closed Date is populated for the first time, Status is closed. In any case, just validate that the opty was closed for the first time using the PRE Function (i.e., PRE(Closed Date) is null and PRE(Closed Date)<>Closed Date). When your condition is met, set a flag that will trigger the event. You could also add a date that the wf conditions were met the first time, to ensure that you track when the rule was originally triggered.
The next step is to have a workflow that unsets the flag if the conditions are not met. Set the order on this one to follow the rule above.
The last rule is the wait/email rule and it uses the when modified record saved event. This rule triggers on the flag being checked, then waits to send the email.
Test this and validate that it will work for your purposes. Based on this workflow, you should be able to create the other one, and I can help if you have any issues.
Good Luck,
Thom

CMX / MSE 7.4 - Time-of-Day rule

With Cisco ISE, we can define time-based rules (example: if 2am, user Nancy can't connect via VPN using a non-corporate laptop).
With MSE, can we have a rule: if passenger walking through an airport between 4pm and 7pm, advertise the Happy Hour special for a restaurant in the terminal but don't advertise the special if it's after 7pm?
Thanks.

Refer to Rule section :
"...The Rules section allows the user to identify the specific set of devices to which the analytics are to be applied. To describe the subset of this data, parameterized rule types have been created. Therefore, the rule for Date presents the user with valid dates of devices in the database. The Time rule allows the user to specify any hour and minute within 24 hours that a device was detected. Path rules identify devices with possible start, finish, and intermediate points on a path. A number of rules together constitute a rule set..."

Assembly Point with mix of time based and discrete components

Hi all,
I have a scenario where I want to assemble 2 different components - one of them time based (assy data EXTERNAL_LOT), the other one discrete (assy data INV_SFC).
Resource system rule "time based resource (genealogy)" is set to true.
I set up and loaded slot config on resource for the time based component.
Operation is configured to not allow SFC complete if components are missing (CT520 on PRE_COMPLETE hook)
When I start SFC at operation and resource in POD the time based component is assembled automatically (according to device history record) However, once I open assembly activity (COMP_LIST_DISPLAY, CT500) to assemble the discrete component both components are displayed as not assembled in component list. If I assemble the discrete component only and then try to complete SFC I receive an error message pointing out that not all components are assembled yet.
I would have expected that time based component is displayed as already assembled and also CT520 hook does recognize the time based component as already assembled.
Am I missing any settings?
Or does such a mixed scenario not work at all?
We are using ME 6.1.4.2
Thanks for your help!
BR Ulrike

Hi,
The issue you are seeing with CT520 whereby the hook does not recognize the time based component as already assembled was resolved in a later release. Please patch to latest version. Associated release notes will detail which patch fixed it.
You would need to use assembly point in POD to add the INV_SFC
Thanks

Time Based Workflow - update existing activities?

Hi, I've added a checkbox field to my activities template, and wondered if it is possible to update this field on existing >124K activity records using a time based workflow. <br><br> Has anyone come across this requirement, or have any thoughts on how to solve the issue? <br><br> Thanking you in advance for assistance.
Edited by: Sherry10602332 on Oct 11, 2010 12:07 PM

Hello SKJ
Your requirement is to send an email notification to an owner if the Opportunity remains with sales Stage = "Inquiry" for more than 90 days.
New Record Saved.
This means even the opportunity can be modified but the sales stage should not change. For e.g. when i create a new record, I can have the sales stage as "Inquiry" and save. At a later date I can modify the description of the opportunity (this would change the modified date), but the sales stage remains at Inquiry. Thus the notification should go 90 days after the sales stage has been set and not since last modified date. Keeping this in mind the condition the rule condition "Rule Condition : Sales stage = "Inquiry" and modified date = Created date" needs to be modified as Sales stage = "Inquiry".
Coming to Modified Condition:
Trigger Event - When Modified Record Saved
Rule Condition : (PRE('<SalesStage>')<>[<SalesStage>] AND [<SalesStage>]="Inquiry") OR ([<SalesStage>]="Inquiry")
Wait 90 Days
Revaluate Conditon = 'Y'
Action Send Email Notification
Explanation
When you set the sales Stage as "Inquiry", the condition (PRE('<SalesStage>')<>[<SalesStage>] AND [<SalesStage>]="Inquiry") would be satissfied and then the workflow would trigger. After 90 days if the sales stage is still in "Inquiry", the second part of the condition "[<SalesStage>]="Inquiry" would be satisfied and the email notification would be sent. If the sales stage has been changed to other sales stage, then the condition would fail and the notification would not be sent.

TDMS - time based reduction - receiver system deletion

Experts,
I'm doing a time based reduction. I'm on the step "Start Deletion of Data in Receiver System". It's been running for over 18hours.
But I don't see any jobs running in SM66 on the Central/Control or Sender or Reciever systems.
When I click on the "Task" button, I see it has completed 8,444 of 12,246 sub activites. There are 3,802 not yet started.
We're on all the latest levels of DMIS and ECC.
Any ideas?
Thanks
NICK

Ashley and Niraj,
Hey, I'm all for tips/tricks so don't worry about messing up my thread.
I completely shut down the central/control system via stopsap and restarted. Still it was in "running" status but no jobs were running on sender/rec or central/control.
So I tried the trouble-shooting but it was un-clear to me what to do.
I ended up highlighting the phase I reference earlier, then doing "execute" again. The status changes from the "truck" to a green flag and I started to see jobs run again on the receiver system. Again they have stopped, but I see another job scheduled to run in a few minutes....It's just weird, I didn't run into this on my last time-based copy.
I'll post a few things I've learned to increase performance:
RDISP/MAX_WP_RUNTIME = 0
At LEAST 25 WP and 25 BCK procs
rec/client = OFF
RDISP/BTCTIME = 60

Auto Entension of LAC based on Rules

Hi All,
I have a business requirement where in the time of LAC should get extended automatically based on rule that if there has been a Bid submitted before 5 minutes to the closure of the Auction, the Auction should get automatically get extended by another 5 minutes. For example say I have set the time limit of an auction to 60 minutes. Now if there is a bid between 55 to 60 minutes the time for auction close should become 65 minutes and so and so forth till there is no bid received in last 5 minutes where in it should get closed.
I searched SAP Help and other SDN Documents but did not find anything similar to the requirement.
Has any body encountered this issue earlier? Any idea to use which BADI to configure such a rule?
Rgds,

Hi,
If standard LAC extension is not suitable for you then you must extend program.
Start from this FM's:
- BBP_LA_MSG_TIMEOUT_CHECK
- BBP_LA_BIZAPI_RETRIEVE_MSG

Dear Srinivasan Muthu,
Assuming that Red,Blue and white are the values for the chracteristic say Colour and if this assigned to
a class type say 023 batch,while uploading the stock,the system asks the chracteristic value.
Say suppose if you are entering 561in MB1C or 101 movement in MIGO for that material and if you
select for Blue,then in MMBE you can click on the stock quantity and right click-->batch classification.
The system shows for Blue colour.
check and revert back.

Sales orders in TDMS company/time based reduction are outside the scope

Guys,
I have had some issues with TDMS wheras it didn't handle company codes without plants very well. That was fixed by SAP. But I have another problem now. If I do a company code and time based reduction, It doesn't seem to affect my sales orders in VBAK/VBUK as I would have expected. I was hoping it would only copy sales orders across that have a plant which is assigned to a company code that was specified in the company code based reduction scenario. That doesn't seem to be the case.
VBAK is now about one third of the size of the original table (number of records). But I see no logic behind the reduction. I can clearly see plenty of sales documents that have a time stamp way back from what I specified in my copy procedure and I can see others that have plant entries that should have been excluded from the copy as they do belong to different company codes than the ones I specified.
I was under the impression that TDMS would sort out the correct sales orders for me but somehow that doesn't seem to be happening. I have to investigate further as to what exactly it did bring across but just by looking at what's in the target system I can see plenty of "wrong" entries in there either with a date outside the scope or with a plant outside the scope.
I can also see that at least the first 10'000 entries in VBAK in the target system have a valid from and to date of 00.00.0000 which could explain why the time based reduction didn't work?
Did you have similar experiences with your copies? Do I have to do a more detailed reduction such as specifying tables/fields and values?
Thanks for any suggestions
Stefan
Edited by: Stefan Sinzig on Oct 3, 2011 4:57 AM

The reduction itself is not based on the date when the order was created but the logic enhances it to invoices and offers, basically the complete update process.
If you see data that definitely shouldn't be there I'd open an OSS call and let the support check what's wrong.

Calculation of SLA times based on Service Organization

Is it possible to calculate the SLA times based only on Service org?
a) Using Service contracts i.e create SC with only org and assign the Service & Response profiles.
Else as mentioned below.
Please give your more thoughts.
I maintain the Service & response profiles at "Maintain Availability and Response Times" .
Can I access these values directly in the BADI ?
My scenario is
a) An agent belongs to a service org.
b) I define these Profiles seperately for each Org (Org1 Org2 etc) at the above tcode.This manual entry.I know we dont have org to profiles mapping in the above tcode.I just painly maintain.
c) In the BADI i check the org entered in the complaint.
d) for Ex if the Org1 is entered I want to access the profiles for Org1.If else ladder.
e) then use these profiles to calculate the SLA times.
f) then save the document.
g) Also trigger an e-mail saying the above time lines.
Is the above flow possible??
Let me know if you want me to post this onto another thread.
Thanks
amol

Shalini,
I will be just maintaining the service and response profiles in the "Maintain Availa..." tcode.
There wont be exact mapping stored in any table.
My logic would be ,i dunno whether this right or wrong..
1) Once i get the Org ,I would compare like ths
if( orgdata = org1)
then service profile 1 etc.
2) then apply the profiles to the cal of SLA times.
I think we can achieve what you said using CRM_ORDERADM_I_BADI
Or we need to use the BADI's specifically mentioned for serv contract det and calculation of SLA.
As you know in SAP for SLA times we need to have the service contract for a) customer b) org and many other parameters.then to this SC we need to associate the service and response profiles.When the SC is determined in a complaint ,the serv and resp profiles will be used to get the SLA times.
But my requirement is to have determine the SLA times based on the service organisations.Not based on the customer and any other parameters.
For ex : If my serv org is in India the times would be diff ..if my serv org is in US the times would be diff.
So let me know what approach would be best ?
Use BADI's as above or does this approach of having define different Service contracts (without having Partner functions customer etc) for diff orgs?
Thanks

What are the special conversions for time in update rules?

What are the special conversions for time in update rules?

Hello,
Special conversions for time in update rules are automatically conversion rules.
Example: If the cube contains calendar month and your transfer structure contains date, the date to month is converted automatically.

Problem in Time Based Publishing Content

Hi every1,
Im working with Time based publishing.
Using xml form builder i created 3 contents means 3 xmls.
Then i created one iView for reading the contents (KM Navigation iView) and i setup the properties like
layout set, layout set mode, root folder of contents.
After creation of iView i checked in the preview all 3 contents visible in my iView.
Now i want to show time based content in that iView.
Contents displayed as per time based
for that i enabled time based publishing and life time of particular content(xml)by using the given way
Time dependant publishing in Km. I clicked on the right hand side of the name of my folder-> go to details -> Settings -> Lifetime. there you have to enable the time dependant publishing. Then i opened the folder and click on the rt hand side of the document-> properties -> lifetime, here give the time span of the document.
After life time setup , again i seen in the iView for reading the contents (previous created) in the preview
again all 3 contents displayed including life time expired content also.
Please give me solution for this, or any more configurations required.
Note :
I required to display the contents in between time applicable only ( from time and until time).
Thanks in advaince
Vasu

I have waited more than 3 hours for settings to apply.
But i couldn't find any changes.
any other solution?
Thanks

Cannot adjust time as user, no printing either in KDE, arch 32 bit

Hi,
I installed ntp, and tried to adjust time as it is aways wrong.
Down South here in Oz it lookks liike we are in Canada or Europe!
It asks for root password to auto update it from a time server,
but says it is not system policy and then refuses to let one do so even once as root
It states there is something wrong with the dbus backend.
Perhaps a root login may be able to fix it but perhaps not too
There is no printing in kde, the config complains of orpan modules and old third pary modules lying around and blames the last upgrade.
Guess I 'll have to go to cups printing and hope cups is OK.
Guess these are bugs and a wonky kde control module and/or dbus and they may have been reported already,

Thanks for you interest Yurlungur,
Somehow I managed to fix ntp, it now updates with ntp and an ntp timeserver, so now I am going to try printing via cups printing on the web due to the bad state of the KDE control panel in Arch.
By the way before your post I upgraded dbus, but the control panel is the problem I am sure, as this did not help.
May I ask what desktop you use

Hi El Zorro,
I don't use KDE so I can't help you there, but I can try and help with ntp. This is sort of an obvious question, and if you've already done this, please ignore me, but have you tried debugging dbus? Is it running properly (as far as I know, it's pretty plug-n-play, but maybe you need an update, or the daemon isn't running right)? KDE may have a front end for ntp, but there's no reason ntp shouldn't be completely controllable by the command line... and if it's not, there's probably a dependancy problem.

Define Time-Based Fields for Cost Centers

Dear All!
I would like to know , how I'm abale to cahnge the setting
of business area for Time-Based Field of Cost Centers to period
Transaction is OKEG
Would be thankful

You can maintain master data for cost centers, cost elements, activity
types, and business processes with time dependencies. You can make
changes at any time for any given time interval. Data storage also takes
place with a time reference. In this way, a master data record can have
multiple database records storing different information.
The smallest interval is one day. To ensure data consistency, you
cannotchange each field daily. The timeframes in which you can change a
field depend on the field functions, which are fixed by the SAP R/3
System and cannot be changed. Master data maintenance includes an
automatic check for each field's time-based consistency, resulting in
individual time-based maintenance for each field.

Execution time of Business Rule

Hi,
My rule is taking more than a day to run. How can i watch its exact execution time. I can't see it in job console as it shows that the business rule is still in processing. And i have also checked in HSP_JOB_STATUS table. It also shows that it is in processing.
Is there an other way to see the exact execution time of business rule.
Thanks and Regards.

To see the exact execution time, you can check in HBRlaunch.log file in planning.
If you want to track the execution time of different parts of your calculation script/business rule then see the essbase application log in detail in EAS.
To see log specific to your business rule, use maxl and spool log to text file, this will give you the logs related to your business rule only and the execution time.
Thanks
