Blank screen while release working time

Hi,
One particular employee in Prod system (ESS Portal), is getting a blank screen while releasing his working time. (It is working fine for all other users)
I did following things
1. User has all the right master data (backend data)
2. Did a backend trace (ST01/ST05), and find that the RFC for releasing working time is not getting triggered for this user. (It is triggering and working as required for all other users)
3. In backend trace did not find any valid authorization failures.
Please suggest.
Thanks

User exit CATS0003 on loading of record working time screen

Hi Experts
this is continuation to my last thread
ESS CA-TS Missing time sheet,
the requirements remains the same and I just need to confirm below thing
Does cats enhancement user exit CATS0003 will trigger initially at the time of loading the data entry page (record working time screen) in ess? so that before entering the time itself users will get to know that they need to fill previous weeks time before continuing,
experts pls confirm.
Jo

If you want the end user to know what attributes to save time on, Try to make use of template
or A worklist!
Other than this you can just use Default values from Cac1 and Infotype 0315, Just check the docs
on this
Also a simple cats0002 can be used to supplement the recorded data

Enabling "Daily View" on Record Working Time iView

Thanks a lot

HI,
You need to implement BADI for this ..
BADI name : "PT_ABS_REQ"
In the BADI "PT_ABS_REQ" interface "IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ" you can find the method
"SET_CALENDAR_COLOR" in that you can set the colure for the Absent type ......
Adjust Colors of Calendar and Team Calendar
Functionality
You can use this method to change the colors in the team calendar.
In the standard system, the different statuses for requests have different colors. You can use this method to differentiate the colors of requests depending on the following aspects:
Status of requests (status)
Action that an employee has executed: new request, delete, change (UIA operation)
Subtype of absence (SUBTY)
Full-day or partial-day absence (BEGMT, where BEGMT = 0 signifies a full-day absence)
Application mode ( mode). You specify the application mode in the Select Employees for the Team Calendar IMG activity.
Color Display of Status of Leave Requests(COLORS_ACTIVE). You specify this status in the Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values IMG activity.
Available Colors
You have a choice of 16 colors. The 16 colors are hard coded, that is, you cannot change them or add other ones.
The available colors are stored with their RGB value as constants of the CL_PT_REQ_CONST class. Use these constants if you want to change the colors.
Notes
If you change the colors in the team calendar, you should also adapt the legend accordingly. You can use the Adjust Legend for Calendar and Team Calendar method to do so.
Hope this work!!!

When you are applying att./absence in the master data, system is telling there is 0800 att/absence type with 99 psg .grouping.
Which one you are applying whether absence or attendance.
either it is absence , create one absence type 0800 with 99 psg. grouping
either it is attendance, create one attendance type 0800 with 99 psg. grouping .
After creation of 0800, assign the screen no, TC, couning rules.

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

ESS Timesheet - Record Working Time application partialy in german

I initially deployed the ESS BP and the Time Entry -> Record Working Time application was comming completely in english.
Then I changed the JCO references of ess/cat DC to some other backend, still the app was english.
When I changed the JCO reference back again this time the Record Working Time application was half in german langauge.Text on tab strip, all buttons are in german.
I even changed ProjectProperties.wdproperties property masterLanguage="en", earlier this was masterLanguage="de"
Still half the app is in german. I even deployed the standard ess/cat DC again still no luck.
How do I make it english back and what is the reason for random behavior?
Regards,
Vishal

Make sure you have no language set up with Jco connection
it should be blank!
Normally no language should be maintained for the above mentioned JCO's
If you have maintained any language for the JCO's ,kindly put it
blank.

Please have a look at the Note 947081
this is how language are set
the hierarchy of what locale a component will be shown in the portal,
will be :
1)component- if he have a locale define
2) portal mandatory locale -( that's what we suggest)
3)user locale
4)browser locale
5)Portal default locale
6) system locale

Recording Working Time issue

Hello Guru's,
We are working on Time Management and for this we are using Working Time iView in Employee Self-Service role.
We are using Record Working Time and in this we record the working times and in the WBS Element cell there is option like F4 which opens up a popup and we can search for Projects (or WBS element) I want to make changes to that screen.
Please guide me where to do the changes for that?
I looked into the code but couldn't find.
Thanks in Advance for your time.
Regards,
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
In order to modify the standard webdynpro record working time application , you have to do below steps.
Import source code ( XSS Components ) in NWDI
Create a track.
From Developer studio , connect to DTR and check out the source code .
Create the sap.com/ess~cat (DC') project in NWDS.
Modify the standard SAP code as per your needs .
Refer JDI Cookbook for ESS.doc for above tasks.
Thanks

MSS Record Working Times header

I am losing the employee's name in the screen header when I use a custom Webdynpro Application Configuration for Record Working Times on Behalf of Employee in MSS.
Here is what I've done...
The ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 in the screenshot below is an exact copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1. I did not make any changes to it.
When I specify the standard HRESS_AC_CATS_1 in the Launchpad:
This is what the Record Working Times header looks like:
But when I specify ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 (EXACT copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1) in the Launchpad:
This is what the header looks like:
Does anyone know why I'm losing the employee's name, and how I get it back?

Hello David,
I guess this is a limitation of CATS application.

Record working Time link in General Related Activities iView

Hello Gurus,
    In the MSS Related Activities iView we have a link to navigate to Record Working TIme iView, but when I click on that link it is pointing to the production portal but I am testing in the development environment.
   So please any one help he me out whether do we have to maintain any URL.
   When I click Timesheet I can see the list of employees in employee search area and information in general section but when I click on the record working time link in the related activities area portal redirects me to the production portal URL and displays the production portal login screen. Please help me out in resolving the issue.

Hmm this is interesting. Guess that's reason even when i am trying to call pdc location of iview "Record Working Time" it is unable to load fpm application based changes and some of personalizations.
Wondering if there is any way to generate or find absolute path to run these application, as they are running on Portal(it works just fine when i launch from my ESS role).
http watch was not great help..

Extra fields in search help window in Record working time EHP5

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know how to add additional fields/select options in search help window for Record Working Time ?
My system is EHP5 NW 7.02
I have added the custom search help for the respective filed in table " TCATS_SHLP_ITS".
I can see this table is having entry for only 4 selection options and 6 value fields for search help display.
But in my custom search help programme is having 8 select options(for advance search) and 10 display fields on the search window. It's working from CAT2 transaction but when I am running through webdynpro timesheet, I can only get 4 select options and 6 value fields.
Please let me know how to make the other fields available.
Thanks in advance.
Sonia

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for your response. In that modify possible entries screen (Details view) I can see the search help is only having 4 select options and 6 display fields.
So as per my understanding max 6 display fields/4 select options can only be displayed on search window.
My requirement is to display more fields on search help OVS window.
Can you please suggest.
Thanks ,
Sonia

RECORD WORKING TIME DC

my requirement is in RECORD WORKING TIME dc.
under weekly view when i press F4 it will display advanced search. in that advance search there will be CO Area: Short ID: WBS Element: Description: areas.
now abaper have created two more fields for search as per requirement.
now i have to include those those fields in to that advance search view (this comes when f4 is clicked under weekly view) along with the other fields.
my doubt is whether i have to write any coding to include those fileds or just reimport the model?
if to reimport the model it is asking for host name system nuber router and etc..
which model i have to reimport? who will provide me these details? basis people??
and which model i have to reimport?
after reimporting the model if i want test it what i have to do like right click on project and rebuild and deploy ???
else
if i have to write code where i have write the code for adding those fields??
in which iview and in where??
below is what i have done so far...
i have selected the ess~cat DC and created project.
i have opened the vc cat record entry iview, here i can find the same iview.
please help me its very urgent.
thanks in advance.

go to cac2
Let me explain with an example
You will need to:
1. go to CAC2, choose "Data entry section" from the first screen,
click "Modifiable" at the top of the screen.
2. find field "CATSDB-LTXA1" and check the radio buttons, if it is set
to "Hide", change it to "Disp.", and save.
3. now go back to CAT2 and go for "Administrator", the tick-off action
shall be available.
Please note:
On the first screen of CAC2, button "Modifiable" is affecting the whole
client, while "Influencing" is affecting a single profile.
So, that tick in "Administrator" will not be returned on by system only
when: you have set the field as "Input"/"Disp" in both "Modifiable" and
"Influencing".
But those fields which are "Disp." in "Modifiable" (whole client) but
"Hide" in "Influencing" for some profiles, will not be shown for those
profiles. (similiar with the problem with CATSFILEDS-DISPTEXT1)

Can we display Approved Times as marked in Record Working Time Calendar

Hi All,
In the Calendar provided by Record Working Time iview,I could see the following three types of dates as marked
1)Rejected
2)Not Released
3)Excess Time Recorded
Similarly is it possible for us to mark the dates for which the OT is approved.
Can some thing be done at the backend with configuration to achieve the same.
We do not have NWDI to modify webdynpro code of the iview
Regards,
Santhosh

The reason behind this was
the descision to keep the interface simple: Highlighting should be used
for records (or days on the calendar) for which action might be required
by the user. No matter if a record is approved or still to be approved,
the next step in the workflow is not for the user to perform but for
the approver.
If a record has been rejected, action is required by the user and
therefore the record is highlighted. Currently, there are no plans to
change this.
This could be changed on a project-basis, of course. Such a change
would require action in Java as well as in ABAP, since we do not
transfer the status to the frontend except for the detail screen, which
is for one record only. What would have to be done?
1) Add a new semantic state "approved" to the DDic element used for
semantic states.
2) Set this semantic sate within the RFC-layer (using the method
"build_timesheet", IIRC).
3) Possibly do the same for the calendar as well.
4) Adopt the Java-side to take this new semantic state into account.
This would of course be a modification, so please understand that I
just wrote down a rough outline of the changes that would have to
be introduced. I didn't actually do an analysis or design for such
a modification but simply noted all the steps that I am aware of that
would have to be performed.
Please refer the help.sap.com for further information on this
or SPRO path.
