Change of Position in MSS with Process and Forms

Hi,
I'm trying to create authorizations for a change of position in Process and Forms, but every time that I choose a new position to the employee I get the error, No authorization, with this details:
No authorization
Message no. 5A277
Diagnosis
You are not authorized to perform this activity.
System Response
The system cancels the activity you have tried to perform.
Procedure
If necessary, you can maintain missing authorizations in Customizing. Please remember that both the standard authorizations and the structural authorizations are checked.
I have managed to change the position and create positions in SAP with t-code PPOME, but in the MSS Portal it doesn't work.
I use authorization with context ( S_ORIGINCON ) with a FM in the structural profile that returns my objects ( O, S, P ). I also have personnel planning authorization ( PLOG ) for the returned objects.
Any help to overcome this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Diogo Silva.

Hi there,
We stop using SAP code to manipulate the infotype 0001, and started using our own code throw generic services I guess (Not my part of the project).
The problem was that in a change of position for a new created position or even for an existing position there was a need for access to the default position OBJID='99999999'. That's why when you give authorization for object OTYPE=' ' and OBJID = ' ' you will not get an error, because it gives authorization for all objects, witch defeats the purpose of security.
If you debug the functions used by the portal (MSS or ESS) you will see that in some FM on the call stack there is passed a flag that controls wether or not there is a authorization check for that default position.
Basically ww stop using the SAP code, and started calling this FM (BAPI, etc) ourselves, and them we manipulated that flag so that we could circumvent the error.
I hope it was clear, sorry if it was not, truth be told it was a long time since I finish that project.
If you need anymore help just let me know.

Diogo Silva.

I checked log in ST22 as below
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_PARAMETER_INVALID_RANGE' was raised, but it was not caught
     anywhere along
    the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
    adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
     'CL_ABAP_TSTMP=================CP' has to be
    terminated.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_PARAMETER_INVALID_RANGE', was not
     caught in
    procedure "SUBTRACT_TIMESTAMPS" "(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:

MSS - HCM Processes and Forms

Can somebody please tell me what the standard HCM Processes and Forms used in MSS are?
Thanks
WB

Hi Will,
I can't find any information that SAP has that states exactly what forms are delivered with each enhancement package. I know if you go into the IMG and launch the Create ISR Scenario, and you will see a bunch of forms. Anything that has an "H" in the Application column is an HCM Process & Form, and that will show you what is delivered in the way of those types of forms. If you want to see all forms, go to transaction SFP, and search them all... I think there are almost 1400 forms.
Another thing that you could do is go into SE16 and enter table T5ASRFSCN. This will give you all form scenarios, same as going into the IMG as stated above...
Another table you could look at is QISRSCENARIO...
Other than this right now, I don't have anything that just states, here are the forms that are available with each suppport pack, or enhancement package.
Here is a link to the [HCM Processes & Forms |http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000081847&]in the Service Marketplace. There is a link on the right hand side to the Media Library, which has documents on different aspects of HCM Processes & Forms.
Hope this helps a little more.
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi,
Note 1266588 - Automatic height adjustment does not work
Symptom
Your application has problems with the height adjustment in the browser. The following symptoms may occur:
Your Web Dynpro ABAP application does not use the maximum height of the browser or iView.
You run your application in an iView of the Enterprise Portal. After several interactions, the system no longer adjusts the height of the iView correctly.
An SAP Interactive Form by Adobe with a height of 100% turns into a line or does not use 100% of the height in the browser.
In a TransparentContainer, Tray, and so on, you have set the height to 100%. However, in Firefox, this user interface (UI) element does not have the full height. This is unexpected.
Your application runs in an iView of the Enterprise Portal with automatic height adjustment and seems to be too large. The application becomes visible only after scrolling, or it has an unnecessary scroll bar.
After the appplication has started, the browser displays an empty light-blue space or a thin line.

Dynamic navigation, on HCM Process and Forms "Web Dynpro FORM"

Hi,
I'm trying to solve an issue regarding dynamic navigation, on a enhacement done at the Web Dynpro ABAP QISR_UI component for HCM Process and Forms.
I'm hiding the Adobe Form, and doing "do_dynamic_navigation" for a dynamic generated view container present at the VIEWSHOWFORM on the QISR_UI component.
The code works great, i.e.: the Adobe Form remains hidden and the custom form, using Web Dynpro appears.
I'm also using the HRASR00_PROCESS_EXECUTE_1 component to execute a Portal IView (Floorplan based component).
When the process is started, and the folowing actions are executed:
1- Select Employee
2- Select Process
3- Edit form
4- Press back (for example if the wrong process is selected)
5- Select the Process
6- Edit form again
There is a NULL exception, the "embedding_vca" (below) is NULL

Can you guys give me an hand?

Hello,
Basically what I did was replacing the Adobe Form, by a Web Dynpro component that contains its own form, and associated logic.
Tecnically the steps to acomplish the task were:
1º Development of a component for showing a form. ( I suggest you to start with just a "hello world" or something very basic )
2º Enhance the QISR_UI component (VIEWSHOWFORM view, on the modify view method), something like
if form scenario = XXXXX then
hide the adobe form;
create a custom view container (the problem I had above), and create an instance of the component created on step 1
end if
3º Access the context that the original form returns (you can check the context debugging the VIEWSHORFORM view )
4º Pass the context to the component created..
I can't provide further details on this, I'm sorry...
I do not suggest doing this, this was a requirement so I had to do it... But this requires a lot of workarrounds, and lots of small changes in standard code related with process and forms... It's not, also, a "clean" solution

Joã

HCM Process and Forms Position Change Workflow Rejection

Hi Experts,
I am new to HCM Process and Forms workflows and have a simple query here.
With the conventional workflows (PR/PO) when Approver Rejects a workitem we send a notifcation to the INITIATOR and when he changes the PO/PR the workflow gets triggered via CHANGED EVENT.
However, here in POSITION CHANGE workflow when an approver REJECTS it at any level HOW WILL I SEND BACK THE FORM TO INITIATOR SO THAT he does the suggested changes and submits for RE-APPROVAL.
Idea is to avoid the burden of filling all the fields everytime
Please guide me on this.
Thanks a lot
Rgds,
Lakshmi

Hi,
If a change method doesn't exist you can create a new one where you can use a Call Transaction sentence that redirects to a tcode where you can modify the form.

Process and Forms - Issue with Method which Uses Imported Form Values

We are doing a project to implement ESS and MSS. Using Adobe Process and Forms we generated a process with form and workflow.
The workflow's first step uses a version of TS17900110 task to move the form to the workflow container.
Binding:
export:
&FORM_STANDARD& @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM&
'USER_ID' @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM_FIELD_NAME_1&
'PERNR' @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM_FIELD_NAME_2&
'AWART' @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM_FIELD_NAME_3&
Binding
import:
&EMPL_USERID.OBJID& @9S\QReceives data from...@ @0D\QAssign Value@ &FORM_FIELD_VALUE_1&
&PERNR& @9S\QReceives data from...@ @0D\QAssign Value@ &FORM_FIELD_VALUE_2&
&AWART& @9S\QReceives data from...@ @0D\QAssign Value@ &FORM_FIELD_VALUE_3&
The workflow is bringing values for: EMPL_USERID, PERNR, AWART.
We need to write these field values to a table using a method. We are using a custom task to do this.
The task triggers a method which calls a FM which makes the update to the table.
The step with the custom task is a foreground step which the workflow stops for so we can test execute it.
When we execute there is a breakpoint in the ABAP code which stopps us at the point where the values are being read.
We are trying to read values: 'USER_ID', 'PERNR', and 'AWART' but the debugger is not showing any values being brought in.
The binding we currently have for the step we feel is the problem:
This is all we have in there so far - NEED suggestions/advice:
Binding export:
&ZABSREQ&     @0E\QAssign Value@     @9T\QGets data for...@     &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
(&ZABSREQ& - This is a BOR)
Any information is appreciated.

Edited by: Alicia Morante on Jan 23, 2012 8:43 PM

We were very anxious to solve this issue.
While I was posting my counterpart realized that we did not have target containers setup to receive the values from the workflow.
Once those were set the values were able to be read from the FM.
Here's the binding updated to:
&EMPL_NUM&     @0E\QAssign Value@     @9T\QGets data for...@     &EMPL_NUM&
&SUBTYPE&     @0E\QAssign Value@     @9T\QGets data for...@     &SUBTYPE&
Still gave you some points for helping - Thank you.

Infotype 0000 Creation using HCM Processes and forms in MSS

Hi,
I need to create an Action for Transfer an employee using HCM Processes and Forms. So, my form should update infotype 0000, 0001, 0008 etc.
But when I provide create operation for infotype 0000, system is throwing short dump. When I change the operation to change nothing was creating in infotype 0000 for that respective employee. Is there any way to update infotype 0000 using HCM Processes and forms. Please help me here.
Thanks & Regards,
Nayani.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply mate.
I understand that for IT0000 update we don't have to configure it explicitly.We just assign values to MASSG and MASSN and IT0000 should update. I am doing exactly that.
For the "condition" we do have multiple rules for that and I am familiar about the trickthat the rule fields must be part of the SAP_PA service which is actually making the update. That's all in place and that's working fine.
Now coming to the problem -
The "action" is "Return from Career Break" where the only PA infotype that has to be updated is IT0000. Besides that we are updating Absences,IT2001.
I have tested the process thoroughly and it seems that the system does not allow an IT0000 update without any other PA data change. To test this, I added a PA infotype update in my config and at that time IT0000 got updated beautifully. But when I am trying to update only IT0000, it fails.
To solve the issue, I had a discussion with my team and we have decided to copy IT0001 along with IT0000. So as of now, we have sorted out a workaround but the technical issue is something I would like to look into.
If you figure out anything then please let me know.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Saikat

HCM Process and Forms - Changes to Form Issue

We have a scenario within HCM processes and forms where the changes being made by an intermediate approval step is not being sent to the next level approver. For example, in a pay change the initiating manager sends the pay change to his/her boss for approval, then once approved the form is sent to HR for final approval and update into R/3.
In this scenario the initiating manager starts the process and makes appropriate updates to the form (including comments). This then routes to that manager's manager for updates/approval. When processing the form, the approving manager can see the information input by the initiating manager. The approving manager then has the opportunity to make appropriate changes within the form and add comments before it is approved and sent to HR for final approval.
Once the approving manager makes changes and sends this to HR, when HR processes the form they see the changes as if it was sent by initiating manager (HR does not see the changes made by the approving manager).
I appreciate any insight you may have on this issue.
Regards,
Brad

Sounds like you process is designed incorrectly and your are having problems with your process object integrity. You need to be careful with loops/branches when designing your process. Are you doing it all in the same Form Scenario and just using multiple steps? The form scenario will "share" the "data" hence you can have issues. You can split it to a differnt form scenario and pass the data over from the other FS to your FS. Then you know you will have your own data there. I often see people trying to do their whole process within one form scenario and use multiple steps without realizing the data integrity issues with that.
Hope this helps.

Unable to add a process to the HCM processes and Forms Option on MSS

Hi,
We are on EP 7.0 / xSS SP 7/ EP 7.0 and using HCM processes and forms. I have defined one new Process and made all the required configurations (Form Scenario, ISR Scenario, Process Start configuration for the Manager Role, Etc...) at the Backend for the process. Does anyone know how to add this process to the list of processes that are available to pick from when we click the HCM Processes and Forms Service on EP>MSS>Team.
Do I need to define a Service and Resource for the process under IMG Homepage Framework?
Is there any setting required on the Portal?
I would appreciate step by step guide to add a new process to the existing list of processes that manager sees when 'HCM Processes and Forms' link is used.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi,
You have to allow the process configured for manager role. This can be done in process configuration.
You should add HRASRB ( manager role) in the process configuration so that manager can see the process in the list.
Also manager role does not use home page customizing to list process in the table. This will not help.
There is a function module HR_ASR_SELECT_PROCESSES that is used to filter out processes relevant for the role and the current user.
Check if process is returned using this function module once you have done the changes.
Hope this helps !!
Best regards,
Ruchi

Creating a new position and updating IT 1028 using HCM processes and forms

I have to create a new position and update the related infotypes using the design time framework of HCM processes and forms. The problem I am facing is the info type 1028 is not a part of the de coupled infotype framework and does not appear in the service fields list. How can I update the infotype 1028? I was thinking of updating it using the FLUSH method of the class implementing the ADV services interface IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE_ADVANCED by calling the function module RH_INSERT_INFTY. But, how do I get the position ID created? Is there any other way of achieving this? Please help as soon as possible.

HI
Create one Function Module to return all the vacant positions and load that in a drop down.
For IT1028 you have to update via the RH_INSERT_INFTY.
Kind Regards,
Mukesh

Process and Forms Isuue

Hi All,
Before i mention about the issue i am facing i would like to brief about my process. In HCM process and forms i have a form where user1 will modify the position and submit it. user2 will approve the request, which updates the records in back end.
I observe that when user2 tries to change any drop down content a round trip is triggered and will not able to proceed further,but these functions are working fine with user1. However, user2 is able to proceed without making any change, but again same problem is occurring when he clicks on SEND button.
When i try to set a break point in the class CL_IM_HRASR00ISR and when i click on 'CHECK and SEND' button the debugger stops at the breakpoint , but when i click on 'SEND' button debugger fails to stop .
And wanted to mention that this is happening only in QA system and it is working absolutely fine in DEV.
I appreciate help on this.
Thank You,

Custom iviews in HCM process and forms

Hi ,
We are using EhP4 in ECC and E-Recruiting systems.
We want to use the customized requisition request process in HCM Processes and Forms.We have developed a adobe interactive form with webdynpro for ABAP along with some workflow.
I want to link these in via the HCM Processes and Forms framework so that they will be called from the standard screen in MSS (Manager Services > My Requisitions > Create New Requisition Request).
what is the best way to implement these customizations? Is there any way to link these applications in HCM forms in SAP Portal.
Thanks,
Lina

There are 2 ways you can accomplish depending on your requirement. The current process group getting called when create requisition is selected is H1NB. If you want to keep the existing processes and just add your process to the list, then you will need have the developer add the process group H1NB to the custom forms. If you only want to disply your forms, you may have to create a new process group in the IMG under Personnel Management>HR Administrative Services. Once you have defined the new group, the developer will have to link the custom forms to the new group. Additionally, you will have to change the application parameters within the Portal on the Iview for Create Requisition request on the Manager Self-Service role from the standard parameter PROCESS_GROUP=H1NB to PROCESS_GROUP=CUSTOMGROUPCREATED. Once these steps have been completed, you should now see your custom forms within the launcher.
Cheers,
Mike

Portal PCR and HCM Process and Forms.

Hello,
We have a request from client that they want to use SAP Personal Change Request (PCR) in MSS role.
So when we tried to configure it, A error was thrown to us as :
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF
u2026u2026
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.PDFDocumentCreationException: ../../sap.com/msspcr/PcrApplication/wd_key48u2026..
So after looking for the cause of error we came to know that this requires an ADS (Adobe Document Service) to be activated.
Now we came to know that it requires some additional licence from SAP (Please verify this statement....if anybody has faced this issue)
So we now decide to use HCM Process and Forms for our client...
How ever when we try to access that in portal it says "Resource not Found".
After looking for the same in SAP help we came to know that it requires some
Business Package for HR Administrator (SAP ERP)
HR Administrative Services (PA-AS).
Now how can I know that whether we have these components already deployed in Portal / R3.
And if I get them, then will there be again a need for ADS (Adobe Document Service).
Please comment on the same.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi Saurabh,
Yes the error you are getting is for the ADS and interactive forms does have additional licenses for online forms but this totally depends on the package that you use.
For e.g IF you have SAP E.C.C 6.0 with Ehp4 then there are standard HCM processes and forms available that comes with the package .
In this case you can check in your sandbox if the sample processes works and verify with SAP for the usage.Since the cost depends on per form per user basis.
Note :
For SAP supplied interactive forms, no additional cost.
As for custom interactive forms, there is an additional cost.
For checking if HCM processes and forms are available in your system :
You could go for the t.code HRASR_DT or Configuration of Design Time can be accessed in the IMG under Personnel Management > HR Administrative Services > Configuration of Forms/Process.
However you need to check with the BASIS and portal guys for roles and authorizations.
Hope this info helps.

HCM Processes and Forms: Work Item is not opening

Hi,
We are implementaing HCM processes and forms using NWBC (EHP7 - HR Renewal 2.0 FP1) and after using configuration of POWL inbox for MSS and HR Admin, We are not able to launch the Work Item.

Failed to resolve Object Based Navigation target ".MSS_WL.NAVIGATE_FORM_WD". Use transaction PFCG to define this OBN target in a role or contact your system administrator to assign a role with the relevant OBN entries to your user.
2) For HR Admin, we are getting message - Work Item can only be open using Portal and UWL. and it is displaying back end transaction SWNWIEX.
Detail configuration steps are shown as below -
Workflow Task used in configurations -
1) Entries in IBO_C_WF_TA_P_SC (Assign Task ID’s to POWL Types)
2) IBO_C_WF_ACC configuration - (Define Tasks and Actions)
3) IBO_C_WF_APC configuration (Provide Details of navigation parameters)
4) IBO_V_WF_TTAC (Assignment of Actions to the Tasks)
5) IBO_C_WF_TAC (Specify Default Action)
Error -
