Role of a Functional Consultant in ESS/MSS in a implementation project

Dear Guru's,
Please help me understand what is the role of a Functional Consultant in ESS/MSS in a implementation project. would be great if any documentation is available. i have building blocks and other stuff which i got from this network, but iam confused looking at them, most of them talk about technical stuff. please give me a functional insight of a Functional Consultant in ESS/MSS.
Thanks,
vinay

hi
the link above mentions the in general role of a functional consultant. But for Ess/Mss , First understand that the technical aspects are there as it would be for any other HCM module . Functional aspect comes into picture to show the functionality to the end user and also to modify the same as per business needs. Sap has given certain functionality which is common in case of few countries and common to the HR world in general. As a functional consultant your role would be to demonstrate and configure the needed functionality to the business.
A very simple example would be , talking about the who's who functionality. The output you see can be altered according to business needs by means of authoirization or customizing the columns which appear on the ouptut (e.g Change the columns as per business needs)
Hope this simple words make your doubt clear.

May I please know how to create the change document functionality for a dependent objects?
I have done it follow the same process as for business process objects. But when i try to test it in BOBT, there is no records under "FIELD_CHANGE_WITH_FILTER". It seems the change hasn't been recorded.
If the way I did to create change document for dependent object is correct, please also kindly advise the possibilities for why there is no record during testing.
thanks in advance.

I also have some doubts about the business object.In this case,one abstract BO hase a subnode wihich is root extended.I added the change document for this node under the category "root_extended" and then tested the function in BOBT.I got some error message "can't find the root key".Shall i redefine the method /BOFU/IF_CDO_CREATION~IS_CDO_CREATION_ACTIVE so as to solve the problem?
Thx.

Needed() and changed() region function

Hello,
I'm studying the basicBoxBlur code that comes as sample in
PBToolkit. As I'm a beginner in code writing, I have some troubles
understanding properly the use of needed() and changed() region
function: are they supposed to simplify the PB calculations, since
the filter runs even commenting those lines?
Could you gently provide some more info about their role
specifically in the basicBoxBlur code?
I'm sorry if this appears as dummy question, but the my
personal learning curve is quite steep... (my actual goal is to be
able to rewrite some sort of Gaussian Blur, Maximum, Minimum and
Median Photoshop filters, so this is only a initial step toward
them - I'll be fighting with sorting algorithms later on :)
TIA,
Davide Barranca

Hi Davide,
I'm really glad you've asked this question. It's a very good
question. Region functions would be considered one of the more
confusing, topics with respect to Pixel Bender. Unfortunately, this
makes it difficult to explain in words, but we'll try anyway.
The region functions are the mechanism by which you indicate
to the product your running in (whether it's the toolkit,
Photoshop, or After Effects) how your filter affects the size of
the image. Currently, Flash does not support these functions in the
Pixel Bender source, but you do need to implement the same thing in
the supporting ActionScript code.
If you think about a blur or any other convolution type
filter, you end up sampling a certain window around the pixel in
order to get the output color. For instance, if you have a blur on
the X axis that's one pixel in radius, you end up sampling 3 pixels
for every output: one to the left, the pixel that's at the same
coordinate as the output pixel, and one to the right of that.
Simple. If you consider what happens at the edge of the image,
though, things get more complicated. If you processing the result
for the very left edge of the output image, say at coordinate
(0,0), you'll need to sample three pixels, (-1, 0), (0, 0), (1, 0).
You need to account for the negative values when sampling. There is
a similar problem on the other edge where you will be sampling at a
location greater than the output window on the right. This means
that to produce an output of size 512, you actually need an input
of size 514 (one extra pixel for the left, and one extra pixel for
the right). This is what the needed function is calculating. The
function answers the question: "For an output of size X, what size
input do I need?" In most cases this will be exactly the same as
the output, but in some examples, like BoxBlur, this is not the
case.
The same thing happens on the output as well. Consider the
one dimensional box blur with a radius of 1 again. In this case,
you provide it an input of size X. If we were interested in
displaying any pixels that had any color at all, we would get an
output of size X + 2. This is because the edge pixel contribute to
the coloring of pixels outside of the input dimensions. In other
words, we would get a non-black pixel at location (-1, 0) because
the pixel at (0, 0) would be within the radius. This is what gives
you a smearing of the image outside of its boundaries when you
apply a blur to it. This is what the changed function is
calculating. In other words, it asks the question: "If I give the
filter an input of size X, what sized output would it produce?"
Again, for most cases, this would be the same as the input
size. Filters that fall into this category are color corrections.
Additionally, for convolutions and blurs, the needed function would
be the same as the changed function. For warps and other
transformations, this is not the case. The best example of this is
scaling the image by two.
When you commented out the region functions, the output image
became smaller by the blur radius. This was probably not very
noticeable, but if you made the radius large, you would see the
difference. Additionally, you are probably asking why we need this
level of detail in the filter. In most simple examples, no one
would ever notice this since we often have a single input image and
execute a single filter on it. However, because these filters can
be used as a small part of the workflow for professional graphics
and effects applications, getting these details right is very
important for the filter to render the correct results in all
cases.
Since you asked specifically about the basicBoxBlur sample,
here's a breakdown. Note that the functions are exactly the same
code because it's a convolution.
float2 singlePixel = pixelSize(src);
This is getting the pixel aspect ratio. One thing I didn't
mention is the notion of the pixel aspect ratio and the need to
account for this when calculating the regions (this is the subject
of another post entirely).
return outset(outputRegion, float2(singlePixel.x *
ceil(blurRadius), singlePixel.y * ceil(blurRadius)));
The next line is increasing the requested region by the size
of the blur window radius (conceptually expand the single radius
out to a radius of size blurRadius). We take the ceiling of the
blur radius in case the radius is a non-integral value.
I hope that helps clear up any confusion. Please let me know
if you have any questions or need clarification on any points. By
the way, I'm very impressed with your list of filters, and I wish
you the best of luck with the sorting ones.
Thanks,
Brian Ronan

Change of functionality in deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match with the 11.0.2 version of iTunes?

I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and this version brought a change of wording regarding deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match, and I'd like to know if there are any changes in functionality to match the change in wording:
With version 11.0.2, when I try to delete any song (uploaded, matched or purchased) I'm presented with a pop-up dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and also gives me a "Also hide this song from iCloud?" option.
In prior iTunes versions the pop-up dialog box would ask instead "Also delete this song from iCloud?".
Has the functionality changed? If so, what's the difference in functionality between 11.0.2 and previous versions? If the functionality of deleting songs has changed, how do I delete an uploaded song from both my local library and iCloud/iTunes Match?

I am having the same issue- pelase could anyone help? Mods?

Dynamically changing the functions in a menu based on the user (in SSHR)

Dear All,
I have a requirement to change the functions in a menu dynamically.
For Ex: An employee is allowed to apply Advance only in the first one month of his/her joining. I created it as an EIT and attached the function, to the menu. Now, i want to remove it automatically from the menu if his/her term in the company crossed one month.
Can any one tell me how to automatically disable it after one month.
Thanks and Regards

The following code should do it. In this example, MyCellRenderer is the renderer class implementing TableCellRenderer, used for displaying combo box.
TableCellRenderer renderer= new MyCellRenderer();
(JComboBox)renderer.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//Your event handling goes here
});

How do you change a function to a procedure

I have written a function which works fine in Oracle, but our .NET developer is struggling to call the function from the web client. Apparently .NET isn't great for working with Oracle functions and needs me to change my function to a procedure. Is it possible to change a function (which is designed to return a value) to a procedure (which is designed to 'do something')?
FUNCTION get_user_basket_item_count (
p_usr_id IN VARCHAR2,
p_basket_id IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_count_result NUMBER (38);
BEGIN
IF p_basket_id IS NOT NULL
THEN --return specified basket count
SELECT COUNT (oubi.ID)
INTO v_count_result
FROM ol_user_baskets oub, ol_user_basket_items oubi
WHERE oub.ID = oubi.bas_id
AND oub.usr_id = pA_usr_id
AND oub.ID = p_basket_id;
ELSE --return default basket count
SELECT COUNT (oubi.ID)
INTO v_count_result
FROM ol_user_baskets oub, ol_user_basket_items oubi
WHERE oub.ID = oubi.bas_id
AND oub.usr_id = p_usr_id
AND default_basket = 'Y';
END IF;
RETURN NVL (v_count_result, 0);
END get_user_basket_item_count;
The .NET developer has told me i will need to add an 'OUT' parameter. Any ideas?
Cheers
David

Portal favorites doesn't work after role change

Dear all,
we encounter the following problem in our EP:
We have an WAD-Template stored in a folder. If a user is assigned to a specific portal role, he can see and execute the report. While executing he is allowed to store the report in his personal portal favorites.
Last week we joined three old portal roles (names: OLD_A, OLD_B and OLD_C) to a new one NEW_A containing all reports of OLD_A, OLD_B and OLD_C. After that we assigned the new role NEW_A to all users formerly assigned to at least one of OLD_A, OLD_B or OLD_C. In addition we unassigned the users from the old roles.
As a consequence the users now see all the reports of the old roles in their portal menu (as they are stored now in NEW_A) BUT the old favorites saved before the role change could not be opened anymore. The following error message appears:
"Page not found or not available"
We found out so far, that the favorite stores the combination of role and iview (in this case OLD_A and the iview-name). If the role changes the pcd-link is different.
Does anyone know this behaviour? How can we change the access pcd-link in the content management manually or by script/program?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Volker Schmitt

Yes I saw this thread too. However, I think viveknidhi solution is pointless for us since we can not perform this operation manualy for each favorite...
For the moment, based on what I red on forums and sap documentations, there is no workaround. Portal favorites are hardcoded pcd urls to the navigation node. If we modify our roles we will loose related favorites since the navigation node will change.
I hope you will find a solution to move forward.
Regards,
Alexis M.
