Appraisal Document Error in ERP6 EHP6 and Portal 7.3

Dear All,
I am on ECC6 EHP6 and Portal 7.3 and using WDA ESS and MSS business packages. I have gone through all the below notes:
1600380 - Appraisal Document does not open in portal
1468466 Performance Management Launchpad Configuration
1463821 Performance Management Portal Configuration
1416756 OBN Configuration in Performance Management
1408243 Configuration for object-based navigation
But since I an using Webdynpro ABAP package for ESS I dont have the below path in Portal:
portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.14.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.14.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.14.career_job
I am getting the attached error while accessing Appraisal Document in Portal. Also when checked in SE80 its giving the same error.
Kindly help.
Thank you,
Regards,
Disha.

Hello disha,
This issue (Error in Calling Up Application) is a common issue and SAP Note 1600380 was created to address this.
1) Keep in mind your custom environment, please pay attention to the following comment in the Note:
"Note: this document has been created based on standard ESS and MSS roles. If you have copied the standard content to customer specific roles you will have to adapt them accordingly."
2) Remember to test each role independently, this is because OBN will resolve with the first available navigation found:
"Recommendations: in order to set up the navigation it is better that you first solve it independently for each role. So first just assign the ESS role to your user and Content Administration role. Once it is working, proceed with MSS role (in that case remove ESS role and
assign MSS plus Content Admin)."
3) After checking all the customizing, please pay special attention to the "further checks" section:
   3.1)
   "Check note 1352104 - OBN action's Business Parameters don't reach AI' is implemented. This note corrects an issue with parameters not correctly passed in POST."
   In order to check this, go through your ComponentInfo Page and check the version of your EP-PSERV component. For instance:
EP-PSERV 7.01 SP3 (1000.7.01.3.1.20090302142421)
This is the patch level:        ^
So, in this case you would have:
EP-PSERV: 7.01
SP: 3
Patch level: 1
The problem for the non-working OBN link, could be a mixed protoco between the portal and the WDA backend system (WebAs). The Object Based Navigation framework, among other things, is based on Java Script, hence it needs that the portal and backend will have the same protocol and the same domain. Please check note 945516 - Web Dynpro ABA in a portal environment.

Appraisal Documents Link Disabled

Hello All,
Using ESS WDA on EhP5 and for some reason the Appraisal Documents link that I am using from the launchpad is disabled (greyed out).
My launchpad config calls HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_ESS (Services for the Flexible Appraisal Process).
I can test this application in SE80 and it works as expected. Thinking this may be an authorization issue, I've done a couple of traces that show nothing - though I'm not sure if the traces are working as expected either.
Anyone have any thoughts here?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Resolved... this link is set to disabled in the standard ESS WDA launchpad from which I copied.

How to trigger follow up processing actions in appraisal documents?

Hi gurus,
We are customizing the performance management process using Objective Settings and Appraisals (ECC 6.0; Enh.Pack 4, ESS/MSS with business pack 1.41) and we have customized the evaluation templates (transaction PHAP_CATALOG_PA) with the enhancement "Follow-Up Proc. (Background) - Adjust Qualific. (Start Date)" in Follow-up Processing section of the Processing tab, at template level (VA object).
The system functions is ok, and the cualification appears in the employee profile (transaction PPPM) correctly after the performance management especialist trigger it using the admin report (transaction PHAP_ADMIN_PA).
My question is: Is there anyway to automatically trigger the follow-up processing after the appraisal document is finished? Do we need to develop in ABAP a new implementation of some BADI?
Thanks in advance!

Followup processes are started as soon as the document goes from status 1-4 to 5 (completed).
Do you mean ALL available follow-up processes should be started as soon as status is set to "competed"?
That's not what happens for our (custom) appraisal: follow-up process(es) are not started when the status becomes "completed", neither from the backend nor the portal. We always have to manually launch the follow-up process from the phap_admin transaction, and select the ones we want to be done.
In phap_catalog, we have a couple of follow-up processes that are selected in the "Processing" tab.
when the approval process is activated (infty 5025) and or status 6,7,8,9 are selected then the follow up process only takes place after status change to close approved.
Even when setting the status to "closed approved", no follow-up process is started.
Any suggestion? Isn't there a setting somewhere that should be set in order for the follow-up prpcesses to be automatically started when the status is set to "completed"?

How to change Font size and alignment in Appraisal document - Font settings

Dear Eperts,
We are working on 360 Appraisal. Can Any body explain how to change the fornt size and allignment (text wrapping to wndow size) in Appraisal document.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajaykumar

Hello Ajaykumar,
if I am not completely mistaking the 360° Appraisal uses the Adobe Forms.
In this case the font can be set in the Adobe Live Cycle Designer by selecting "Palettes" -> "Font".
Here is a discussion which addresses this question, and also contains a link to how to handle Adobe Forms:

BADI for changing Appraisal document application name for Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
For Appraisal document customizing through PHAP_CATALOG_PA, We have BADI HRHAP00_BSP_TMPL to change the BSP application name which can be used in Web layout for output display. Using this we can change application name from HAP_DOCUMENT to custom BSP application name
Similarly, what is the BADI for changing Web dynpro ABAP applictaion name? Currently its triggering HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT.
how do we change application name to some custom web dynpro application name
Regards,
Kothand

Hi Karim,
I don't know, if there is any chance to get the Webdynpro application name. At least in the ABAP System fields is no information about the webdynpro application name.
One remark: I have allways problems with BAPIS / BADIS that behave different depending on the caller. Could it be a good idea to pass some information through the interface / parameters?
Best regards
Renald

The note field is in non-editable mode in appraisal document

Hi all,
In appraisal document,
the reviewer can give his comment in the status u201CIn Processu201D and in the Sub Status u201CAnnual Review by Addl Managers/Reviewersu201D in an appraisal document. It is editable when I am trying via web but when I try to upload the comment from backend GUI ( using phap_admin) the note field is in non-editable mode. My client requires it in editable mode at the back end.
Can any one help me on thisu2026

Hello Girish,
Can you please check the appraisal template, Proper access has been given to use the note column. If still faces problem can look for the BADI HRHAP00_COL_ACCESS.
You can look for the following notes also :

Shortdump while accessing Appraisal document in portal-Null obj ref.not pos

Hi all,
We are implementing Performance Management in Ehp4 with EP 7.1, flexible template   We have been facing an issue where in Portal while we are trying to click on Appraisal document either in ESS or MSS, it dos not open anything instead we are getting
short dump error in ST22. We have performed the portal and ESS setup as per the SAP recommended notes.
1272076 - Appraisal Nav
1408243 - OBN
1416756 - OBN Confi
1463821 - Portal confi
1458466 - Launchpad config
The short dump error analysis as follows.
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
   caught in
procedure "READ_ATTR_ALL_FOR_CASETYP" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a
   RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component (variable: "LO_CASE_CUST").
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
Just wondering if any one of you came across this issue. I have put external break point at main appraisal component
HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT and class CL_HAP_WD_DOCUMENT_UI. But it didn't go through. I think because this abap dynpro not being called due to url issue and thus dump says null pointer exception.
Appreciate your response and I Look forward your insights.

Appraisal Documents (WD UI) open the same page in the pop up browser.

Hi Expert,
    I am using the business package for Appraisal Documents. I got some problem on navigate to the new browser.
   When the user click on a link in 'Appraisal Documents (WD UI)' in should open a new pop up for Appraisal Document(HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT), but It open Appraisal Documents (WD UI) again in the new pop up browser.
   I am not sure whether i did it correct or not. Below is the step that i did.
- Copy Appraisal Documents (WD UI) page and Appraisal Document'(HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT) to the folder.
- Change system alias for pages.
- Add Appraisal Document (WD UI) operation of Employee Business object to Appraisal Documents (WD UI) page.
- Assign them to the role.
Could you please suggest. If you have a document about using the page from business package please provide me
Thank you in advance,
Noppong Jinbunluphol.

we kindly recommend you to re-check note 1600380 paying attention to
point 1.2 which deals with the relevant configuration to ESS for
flexible process.
please notice per default role delivery two services two roles for
Performance Management will be displayed. Both services are named
Appraisal documents. The difference is that one service is for the
Predefined Management Process employee access, the other one for the
configurable/flexible Performance Management employee access. The ESS
business package is set up in a way that all services/iviews are in
default role delivery available and customer can choose which one to
leave in (This is different to MSS where there is an standard role
delivery and a hidden iview delivery. There the customer can choose
whether or not to remove existing iviews in standard role delivery or if
the ones which are hidden shall be made visible in the role).

IView Appraisal Document not showing customer process step names.

the iView "Appraisal Document", after pressing the pushbutton to move to the next process step, shows the text
"status changed to 'In Review'" in the info area of the iView.
we have changed the names of the standard process steps using IMG "Define Tabs and Process Configuration for Template"
for instance we renamed "In Review" to "Progress Tracking".
the issue is the iView "Appraisal Document" still shows "status changed to 'In Review'" instead of showing "status changed to 'Progress Tacking'".
note: the names of the steps in the roadmap (on top of the iView) show correctly, it is just that the state transitions "Status changed to..." the names of steps show standard instead of customer steps.
any idea why?
Thanks,
Tiberiu

Hi,
My first advice would be to talk to customer out of this.
As a client using SAP you're using standard software which has predefined 'names' for certain things. The names of appraisal - statuses is one of them.
(I've never seen a client wanting to adopt the names of menu texts in Microsoft Office and personally I don't seen the difference. Of course, it will take some time for the client to get used to the new names but in a year or two, everybody is used to those terms).
If you don't succeed, there's no need to change programs. You'll need to change the values of the standard SAP - domain mentioed before.
Wilfred.
