Best practice to upload data for Appraisals: BDC, LSMW or functional module

Hi,
I have heard that BDC and LSMW do not work for data upload in appraisals. Is it true?
Can we use ECATT or SECATT to upload data in appraisals?
I somewhere got the information that functional modules
HRHAP_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
HRHAP_DOC_UPDATE_BODY_AND_SAVE
HRHAP_DOCUMENT_CREATE
are used to upload the data for appraisals?
Many of my earlier clients found it very hectic to create appraisal templates every year (PHAP_CREATE). They needed something automated for this. I managed to suggest them manual upload or SECATT, but I am not sure if BDC/LSMW work for this.
Can somebody throw some light on this?
Best regards,
Veera Sasidhar Jangam

Hi,
You need to write a code for same and use function modules available as those does direct updates to database.
If client is not bothered about look and feel during dataload or do not care about display infotypes during data updates then use above method otherwise BDC needs to be written with screen control programming in it.
Thanks,
Ameet

Hi,
To be honest I don't understand your question. When You execute LSMW and create project, then all steps are shown in a very clear way with good description. With which one you have problems?

BDC Program for Uploading Data for Property Tree in cg02

Hi,
How to upload data for property tree ( standard Properties ) of CG02. I checked for BAPI or Function Module but most them supports for specification header and sub item.
Please Let me know if any function module or BAPI available for this process. I tried with BDC Program, but it fails.
Regards,
Rajesh Kumar Murugesan

Hallo Rajesh
take a look here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
Chapter "Import and Export".
1.) Reads cross these further chapters:
"Tools (EHS-BD-TLS)" => "IMport and Export" => "Import: Process" => "Specifying the Sequence of the External Data Structure " => "External File Structure: Specification"
Here you will learn how to prepare the data. In chapter:" Example: Transfer File for Specifications" you will find an example of an file whcih could be used to upload data in the property tree
2.) Chapter:" Importing Specifications" is explaining the steps whcih are need to populate the property with data using the file as prepared; read cross chapter "Specification Import Control"
I hope this helps.

Best practice to define length for varchar field of table in sql server

What is best practice to define length for a varchar field in table
where field suppose Remarks By Person varchar(max) or varchar(4000)
Could it affect on optimization in future????
experts Reply Must ...
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Varchar(n/max) is a variable-length, non-unicode character data. N defines the string length and can be a value from 1 through 8,000. Max indicates that the maximum storage size is 2^31-1 bytes (2 GB). The storage size is the actual length of the data entered
+ 2 bytes. We always use varchar when the sizes of the column data entries vary considerably. While if the filed data size might exceed 8,000 bytes in some way, we should use varchar(max).
So the conclusion is just like Uri said, use varchar(max) or varchar(4000) is depends on how much characters we are going to store.
The following document about varchar in SQL Server is for your reference:

Best practices to reduce downtime for Database releases(rolling changes)

Hi,
What are best practices to reduce downtime for database releases on 10.2.0.3? What DB changes can be rolling and what can't?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
RJiv.

I would be very dubious about any sort of universal "best practices" here. Realistically, your practices need to be tailored to the application and the environment.
You can invest a lot of time, energy, and resources into minimizing downtime if that is the only goal. But you'll generally pay for that goal in terms of developer and admin time and effort, environmental complexity, etc. And you generally need to architect your application with rolling upgrades in mind, which necessitates potentially large amounts of redesign to existing applications. It may be perfectly acceptable to go full-bore into minimizing downtime if you are running Amazon.com and any downtime is unacceptable. Most organizations, however, need to balance downtime against other needs.
For example, you could radically minimize downtime by having a second active database, configuring Streams to replicate changes between the two master databases, and configure the middle tier environment so that you can point different middle tier servers against one or the other database. When you want to upgrade, you point all the middle tier servers against database A other than 1 that lives on a special URL. You upgrade database B (making sure to deal with the Streams replication environment properly depending on requirements) and do the smoke test against the special URL. When you determine that everything works, you configure all the app servers to point at B and have Streams replication process configured to replicate changes from the old data model to the new data model), upgrade B, repeat the smoke test, and then return the middle tier environment to the normal state of balancing between databases.
This lets you upgrade with 0 downtime. But you've got to license another primary database. And configure Streams. And write the replication code to propagate the changes on B during the time you're smoke testing A. And you need the middle tier infrastructure in place. And you're obviously going to be involving more admins than you would for a simpler deploy where you take things down, reboot, and bring things up. The test plan becomes more complicated as well since you need to practice this sort of thing in lower environments.

Is it a best practice to Input Data directly to Parent Currency ?

Dear Gurus,
I understand this question is very simple, but I am wondering is it a best practice to Input data directly into <Parent Currency>?
I am having a scenario where users do translation in Oracle and they wish to see the same number in HFM. As the process that they follow is unique in nature by Entity->Account [OR] for all Entities->Account, creating Override accounts is not helping us and rapidly increasing the Override hierarchy month-on-month.
Thanks...
Satya

By overriding the accounts, I assume you are referring to accounts that are translated historically as opposed to the default translation performed by HFM?
If so, I have seen two general approaches to achieve this:
a) Allowing the user to directly override the translation at IsTransCurr (i.e. <parent currency> if parent is in a currency other then entity)
b) Entering in a special currency rate in a rate account and then adjusting the translate routine to translate your account by that rate.
I personally, am a bigger fan of the first option.

How to upload data for custom infotype

Hi Friends
Can we use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS FM for custom infotype too or is there other way or other Standard FM to upload data for custom infotype starting with 9000..etc.
Points will be there for sure.
Thanks
Meeta & Roopa

Thanks for quick response.
my qns is can we use Standard FM like HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS for custom infotype too ?
in my requirment input will come from portal form and in background Java Wd is going to use these FM but i have this big doubt can we use these standard FM for uploading data in custom infotype as well or else is there any other way.. but for sure we can't use BDC and LSMW in this requirement .
Thanks Meeta & Roopa

Best Practices on Routine Data Load.

Can someone please tell me what are the best practices on routine data load from one database to another?
We have PeopleSoft system where new employees' records are created; however, these new employees are required to take new employee tests that is being tracked by an application outside Peoplesoft on an Oracle db. Therefore, we need to populate the Oracle db with the new employee's information - on a daily basis or as needed. The data we will need to track are new employees or rehires, changes on existing employees - position, title, etc, terminated employees - date of termination, etc.
What is the best practice to get the employee's information to the Oracle db?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
-andy

Depends on your source and your database version which you didn't mention. What is the easiest way to get them out of your source database?
Perhaps a database link though that might be a security violation.
Perhaps as a delimited ASCII file loaded using SQL*Loader or an external table.
Can you provide more information and database version numbers?

Hi Sunny,
My suggestion is go txcode BAPI.
After this in the left side of the window complete information on BAPIs will be available search out in Human resource you may get the BAPI, in the mean while some one may help you.

Best practice to develop internet app integrating with backend R/3 modules

While we wait to upgrade from R/3 4.6c, going forward we want to stop investing in ITS Flow Logic applications.
What is the best practice around using backend RFCs/BAPIs to expose SAP functionality as a web application that is accessible on the internet? One thought looks like using WAS 6.4 - utilizing JRA to call RFCs and using JSP/Servlet; another is to use Webdynpro based development. Will appreciate some architecture advice along side - especially if we also wanted internet surfers to set up user accounts. Thanks!

Hi Vito,
I do have the same situation as you and also some of the guys mentioned above as well. I have Portal only users and also users who uses the SAP GUI.
Thus, what I would advise, taking into consideration of audit as well, is to have the below scenerios:
1) Users who login to backend with SAP GUI on Citrix only
We have changed the system parameter: login/password_change_for_SSO=2
The password change dialog box appears and the password must be changed (input: old and new password). Also we have setup SNC (CyberSafe) so that in our SAP GUI, users can click on the system with SNC setup and login to backend without having to enter userID and password
2) Users who login to backend with SAP GUI on client (local)
Users will login with userID and password
3) Portal user with SSO and no login to backend vwith SAP GUI
Portal users will have their password deactivated.
Explaination to Audit for Portal users:
We have 90days password reset on Windows (AD). So our Portal users are respecting the audit request of having 90days password reset, but instead of having it in SAP, its in our Windows. Furthermore, SSO is setup as such that the coinnection for these Portal users to the backend is secure.
We are not able to set login/password_change_for_SSO=3 as we have sites which does not use Citrix. Thus, these sites will have local SAP GUI install.
Hope that can share some experience of mine to those who are also in my past situation.
