Conversion of Supervisor Hierarchy

Has anyone programmatically loaded the Supervisor Hierarchy during the conversion of a legacy system to Oracle 11i?

We did this when we implemented HR onto an existing Financials system. We used a nominal start date for the assignments (and supervisors relationships) to start from.
You can see how we did it at http://www.patrickhaston.co.uk/eBusiness/LoadingAssignmentsIntoOracleHR.html.

Query for HRMS supervisor hierarchy

I need to list all people in a given person's supervisor hierarchy. The following query returns me a person's direct manager and whether or not that person is an officer. I've tried using connect by to return all supervisors in the person's hierarchy but cannot get it working thus far. Any idea what I am doing wrong with the connect by?
SELECT papf.employee_number,
papf.person_id,
papf.full_name,
ppg.segment1 officer_flag,
NVL(spapf.full_name,'NONE') supervisor_name,
spapf.person_id,
spapf.email_address
FROM per_all_people_f papf,
per_all_assignments_f paaf,
pay_people_groups ppg,
per_all_people_f spapf

AND papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN paaf.effective_start_date AND paaf.effective_end_date
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN spapf.effective_start_date(+) AND spapf.effective_end_date(+)
AND apps.xxx_person_type.is_employee(SYSDATE, papf.person_id) = 'TRUE'

Thanks for the response.
I tried the following using a variety of employee numbers in the hierarchy, sysdate and level < 100. I got ORA-01436: CONNECT BY loop in user data and it seemed to think the reference to per_all_assignments_f to be the issue, but not sure.
What am I doing wrong?

Query for Supervisor Hierarchy for top most manager

Hi,
I have requirement where I have to start from one employee and move up to top-most supervisor of that employee:
For example starting from Employee ABC and moving to supervisor3 through supervisor hierarachy.
Employee ABC
Supervisor1*
Supervisor2*
Supervisor3*
Can anyone help me in constructing such query.
Regards,
Salman Ahmad

The linked query is to find a loop in the Supervisor hierarchy top down.
The SQL here will display the current supervisor hierarchy for a specified subordinate bottom to top.
select level, rpad(' ',level*2)||paa.person_id, pap.first_name, pap.last_name
from per_all_assignments_f paa
join per_all_people_f pap
on paa.person_id = pap.person_id
and sysdate between pap.effective_start_date and pap.effective_end_date
where sysdate between paa.effective_start_date and paa.effective_end_date
start with paa.person_id = :PersonID
connect by paa.person_id = prior paa.supervisor_id
and sysdate between prior paa.effective_start_date and prior paa.effective_end_date;

Where can you build/maintain the Supervisor Hierarchy table in HRMS?

I am using SSHR for LOA and I receive the error "Unable to build the Supervisor Hierarchy, no person record exists with the person id 1109 as of sysdate." Obviously, a person in the hierarchy is terminated but where is the supervisor hierarchy table so I can change the person that is terminated? The terminated person with the assignment ID has a person type of ex-employee. So that works. But, I don't know if they have been cleared from the hierarchy table.
Can anyone help?

Can anyone help?As mentioned by the previous replies, there is no supervisor table in Oracle. The relationship is stored in the assignment table.
If you have a specific problem ID, you can use the following SQL to give you the employee number, assignment number and effective dates of the current and future assignments that have this person assigned as a supervisor. (Note I have not tested the code, so there may be typing mistakes)
select ppf.employee_number, assignment_number, paf.effective_start_date, paf.effective_end_date
from per_all_people_f ppf
, per_all_assignments_f paf
where ppf.person_id = paf.person_id
and paf.supervisor_id = 1109
and paf.effective_end_date > sysdate
You will then need to use your knowledge to determine the date that each of the assignment records should be corrected.

Andy.

Supervisor Hierarchy Diagram from Oracle other than Employee Directory

Hi,
Can some one guide me if Oracle provide diagrammatic description of Supervisor hierarchy the way it provides for Org Hierarchy.
Will be looking forward for the response. We are on 11.5.10.2 version
Thanks,
Nitin Singh

Dear Nitin,
As far as Oracle HCM is concerned, there is no diagramatic representation for "Supervisor Hierarchy" as u can see the same for Position and Oraganization..
The only way to find is backend .. check with your techies for the same..

IExpense Supervisor Hierarchy

Hello all!
Does anyone know of an existing report or some SQL that they have to view how the Supervisor hierarchy is setup for the iExpense approval workflow? (View Employees>More>Supervisor)
We have had several issues where there ends up being a loop in the hierarchy but we have know way to currently find it except to go through each employee one by one and see who their supervisor is. If we could run a report to show this, it would help tremendously! We are also running into this issue with the requisition approval process as it uses the same employee/supervisor hierarchy.
Thanks!
Janel

This query should give you who is the manager.

Contet Conversion for multilevel hierarchy structure

Hi,
I wanted to create csv file as a output for the structure
GROUP1                     1-1
      ITEM1
      ITEM2
GROUP2                      1 - unbounded
     ITEM3
     ITEM4
     GROUP3                 1-10
          ITEM5
          ITEM6
but i see only one level content conversion is possible. Does anyone worked such kind of scenario ?
Laks

Hi Lakshmi,
Few questions on the structure..Is it like thsi
GROUP1 1-1
-ITEM1
-ITEM2
--GROUP2 1 - unbounded
---ITEM3
---ITEM4
---GROUP3 1-10
-----ITEM5
-----ITEM6
means group3 is withing group2 and so item5 and item6 becomes 4th level in hierarchy
FCC is possible till 3 levels and hence in your case the normal FCC will not work.. I will suggest you to look into this link and do some workaround like that mentioned in the blog
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3414700%29ID1981012450DB01072979760660502867End?blog=/pub/wlg/7154
Also You want Group1, Group2 etc to be written in th output file? Then you need to have them in a field of target structure (so possible need to put one more node at each level viz Group1, 2 and 3 which will have the name of the group).

List all employees that report to a Supervisor Hierarchy

Hi
I am trying to write a report in discoverer which lists "All reports" for a Manager.e.g. a Director of a Company will have direct reports and then the direct reports will have people reporting to them and so on all the way down the hierarchy tree.
I can do the direct reports quite easily by including Supervisor name in the report .
I am not having much joy with trying to report on the people that reports to the direct reports and so on.
Any advise would be appreciated .
Many Thanks in Advance
Edited by: user650649 on 30-Nov-2010 03:47

I have used Oracle's Hierarchical Query functionality in custom Discoverer Folders to provide hierarchical reports such as this. You can Google on "Oracle Hierarchical Query" and get very good information including basic examples of how to use this. Reply to this if you need additional help as I think I can quickly create the SQL and I can probably use it in the future.

File Adapter with Conversion - XML with Hierarchy?

XI 3.0 (SP9)
We are using the inbound file adapter with conversion to convert a flat file that has header and line items. I would have thought that the data type should have been setup something like this:
<data type>
<header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</header>
</data type>
Our flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
We have only been able to configure the file adapter to bring in the data like this:
<data type>
<header></header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</data type>
What is the proper way to inbound data through a file adapter that has structure conversion like this?
Do all of the elements get put under the root node, or is there a way to build structure?
Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
Thanks
Peter

Not quite sure what you want to get, as the flatfile and xml structure does not contain the same values.
However, I will try to give you an example:
Your flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
If the first row is header and the next is a line, then you need to specify the fila adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = recordset
Recordset structure = header,1,item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
Keyfieldname = id
header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
header.fieldNames = id,number
header.keyFieldValue = H
header.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.keyFieldValue = H
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<recordset>
<header>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</header>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</recordset>
</datatype>
Hoever, if both rows are "item" rows , then you need to specify the file adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = header
Recordset structure = item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<header>
<item>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</header>
</datatype>
Q: Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
A: Yes!
Good luck!

Position Hierarchy - Employee Supervisor Change

Hello,
We have few of our Operating Units setup with Position Hierarchy Approval method for Purchasing documents. We want to change this to Employee-Supervisor Relationship due to change in some of the global policies.
Would like to know what are the implications & what are the things to be taken care.
Thanks,
Shilpa

You will find that emp. Supervisor hierarchy (ESH) is simpler to setup and understand. But it has less functionality.
e.g. In PBH (position based hierarchy), you can submit PO's using different paths if necessary. But in ESH, the po always will go to the supervisor and his supervisor etc.
To implement your change
1) Go to the define employees screen (in the purchasing module if you use Shared HR or in the HRMS module if you use full HRMS). Enter the supervisor name for all employees that will submit /approve PO.
2) Purchasing > setup > organizations > financial options > Human resources tab > uncheck "Use approval hierarchies" checkbox
3) You can end-date existing hierarchies.
4) You don't have to run Fill employee hierarchy program anymore.
5) When a person leaves or there is a reorg, make sure you update the supervisor name for the employees.
6) You need to continue to maintain approval groups and assignments as before.
Hope this answers your question,
Sandeep Gandhi

Problem with File Content Conversion

Hi All
I am facing a problem with file content conversion.
This is my sample file structure:
Header_Record (Occurance - 1)
Field1 in Header
Field2 in Header
Item(Occ-1 to n)
Field3 in Item
Field4 in Item
<<ItemType>> (Structure in Item) (Occ - 0 to n)
<<Field5>> in ItemType
<<Field6>> in ItemType
<<ItemTypeCategory>> (Structure in ItemType)(Occ - 0 to n)
<<<<Field7>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
<<<<Field8>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
Footer_Record (Occurance-1)
Field9
Field10
There is a key field 'Type' in all the above records with unique value in each record.
Now, I defined Field content conversion as follows:
Recordset Structure: Header_Record,1,Item, * , ItemType, * ,ItemTypeCategory, * ,Footer_Record,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
KeyField Name: Type
Following are parameters defiled:
Header_Record.Keyfieldvalue: 00
Header_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Header_Record.fieldnames: Field1,Field2
Header_Record.endseperator: 'nl'
Item.keyfieldvalue: 05
item.fieldseperator: ,
item.fieldfieldnames: field3,field4
item.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemType.keyfieldvalue: 10
itemType.fieldseperator: ,
itemType.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
itemType.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemTypecategory.keyfieldvalue: 15
itemTypecategory.fieldseperator: ,
itemTypecategory.fieldfieldnames: field7,field8
itemTypecategory.endseperator: 'nl'
Footer.keyfieldvalue: 20
Footer.fieldseperator: ,
Footer.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
Footer.endseperator: 'nl'
Now, i pass the following file:
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
What i expect out of my FCC is this (Sample output to show the hierarchy of field values):
00,111
05,222
<<10,333>>
<<<<15,444>>>>
20,555
But, I am getting this output (Hierarchy is missing. All the structures are in the same order without hierarchy):
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
Field values are being identified according to field content conversion, but, the hierarchy of the fields is missing.
Can you please tell me how should i change my FCC config?
Sorry for this long question.
Many Thanks
Chandra

You will always get a flat structure from FCC. If you want hierarchichal strucuture, you have to create a target and map. You will get only like -
Root
--Recordset
Group1
Fields
Grop2
Fields
Group3

APPROVALS IN POSITION HIERARCHY IN HRSS

Buddies,
Assume:
A and B are the two managers having same designations (Manager purchase)
C and D are the two employee have same designation (purchase supervisor)
Purchase supervisor are reporting to purchase manager.
We are using positon hierarchy for approvals in HRSS
leave of absence requests generated by C and D will go to only manager or will be going to both manager. What will be the approval process when their are more than one persons at same desigation.
Please help

You can create approval group as you want. But looks like even though you are using Position Hierarchy positions are not single incumbent. So if you send approval to position id or person occupying the position that would not be correct. So I think you may have to use supervisor hierarchy as well in this case to send the approval to the appropriate person.
Let us know the detailed requirements.

How to use AME to define Compensation Workbench Manager Hierarchy?

Hi,
I have set up the CWB to allow HR managers to allocate all the compensation using AME Hierarchy in R12. However, after running the CWB Participant Process using the manager login, there is no employee attached to this manager.
For e.g. a company has 2 compensation managers that determine all the compensation within the company including himself and upper level manager.
My question:
How to setup the CWB to use AME hierarchy to allow the 2 compensation managers to view all the employee in the worksheet?
Regards,
ShiauChin

Even i am facing the same issue.
if i use supervisor hierarchy for the plan. the worksheet is listing the plan and people.
If i use AME transaction, plan is not attaching to the worksheet. I am working with Oracle SR to find the issue.
If you find any solution for this problem please share at [email protected]
thanks in advance

How to convert org hierarchy XML to CSV/Excel format using PI/XI

1) How do I go about this? I think I have to configure an adapter but which adapter would give me the desired result?
2) How do I tell PI when to pick the file from and where to place it after conversion? Could this be done in adapter configuration?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
--Mithun

>>> 1) How do I go about this? I think I have to configure an adapter but which adapter would give me the desired result?
Use File adapter at the sender side to pick up the xml and use file adapter at the receiver side (message protocol file content conversion) to convert xml format to csv.
Basically you have to configure in the file adapter (FCC) on the receiver side to get desired csv structure from XML.
>>> 2) How do I tell PI when to pick the file from and where to place it after conversion? Could this be done in adapter configuration?
Configure sender file adapter to pick up the file from the specified directory. Configure receiver file (fcc adapter) to drop the csv file after conversion.
For sender adapter
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
For receiver adapter in our case FCC (FILE content Conversion) follow the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/d2/bab440c97f3716e10000000a155106/content.htm
Hope answered your question.
Mapping area: simple suggestion. Keep input and output message same structure and do one to one mapping. In the receiver fcc adapter configure for csv structure following instruction given in the above second link
Note: FCC adapter does not support nested structure more than 2. So in your case you can achieve using conversion agent tool. Otherwise you might have to achieve through some graphical mapping.
