Debugging WDA External Candidate Application - E-Recruitment

Hi I am trying to enhance E-Recruitment External candidate registration and Candidate profile applications which are built in Webdynpro ABAP.
My problem is I am not able to debug these applications using external(http) breakpoint as the breakpoint is set using my ID and the application user by default uses the user RCF_PUBLIC( I think so).
Please help me in finding a way to debug these applications.
@Moderators
I'm not sure where to post this message, in Webdynpro abap seciton or HCM. when I searched I saw a couple of similar questions in this section, hence posted here.
Thanks,
Sunil

Guys,
Thanks for all the replies, they were all helpful.
Here is how I was able to debug it.
Transaction SICF -> select the WDA application ->activate Debugger(edit->debugging->activate debugger)->change the User to 'RCF_PUBLIC' or watever the user maintained in logon data for that service.
now set your breakpoint and test the application. I was able to successfully debug it.
Thanks and Regards,
Sunil

E-Recruiting -External Candidate application - External Branding - SAP Them

Hi,
In E-Recruiting, External Candidate application launched out side of portal. We need to change the SAP Themes as per customer branding requirements. Is it advisable to change the themes? What is the View of SAP for changing the Themes?
I understand that SAP generates links (eg. u2018Invites to applyu2019 has a URL) in various places in E-Recruiting BSP/WDA Application. We canu2019t modify/enhance methods to append URL parameter in order to call custom there. Am I right?
Please share your experience on this.

ERec: External Candidate as a Recruiter??

Hi All,
In EHP4, can we map the External Candidate as a Recruiter, bcoz our client is hiring few candiates on contract basis and want them to do the 'Recruiter' role from frontend.
But as per our Standard functionality, HR Objects can be created successfully for internal candidates only.
We created the CP in HCM system, but that CP is not transfering to E-rec system. HR Objects itself not at all transferd to E-rec system for external candidate.
Any one can share their valauble sugessions on this scenario.
Thanks,
Asha...

Hello Asha,
handling of contract workers differs from company to company.
If the contract workers are in the HR core system as active employees they will be transfered to the e-recruiting system using the standand functionality to create internal candidates for them.
If the contract workers are in the HR system but not in active status, you could use the ALE outbound BAdI to rewrite their status for the IDoc (infotype 0000, field STAT2). This way the e-recruiting system would also use the standard functionality to create internal candidates.
If the contract workers are not in the HR core system at all, I would use the e-recruiting administrator function or the report RCF_CREATE_USER to create internal candidates for them directly on the e-recruiting system. Use a number range for their employee Ids which is blocked in HR core so there won't be any issues with future employees transferred.

How to differentiate an internal from an external candidate in E-recruiting

Hi experts,
I need your help. I'm creating a Z report to show the % of internal and external candidates who were hired or choosen in a selection process. I will have two columns the first one will show the internal candidates and the second one the external candidates. I'll also display the reasons why a candidate were reproved on the selection, for this reason I also have to separate internal from external candidates.
I've seem some threads where you say that the best way is to find the relation NA<CP<P. Is this the only way or there is any other way as a module function where I put NA and it show me if it's an internal or external candidate.
I'll really appreciate any help!
Best regards,
Thais

Hello Thais,
reportig in SAP E-Recruiting is quite difficult due to the missing historization in some infotypes. A lot of changes are not historized so it is not possible to get any other valid information than the current status. Looking back into the past is in the best case unsure in the worst impossible. External candidates become internal candidates on hiring and internal candidates become external candidates on termination, maternity leave, ....
It is very difficult to get the percentage of external und internal hirings based on e-recruiting data. It is much easier to get this from the HR core as (at least in a perfect world) you just count hiring actions and org. change actions. Of course not every org. change is usually an "internal hiring" in e-recruiting.
If you want to get these numbers purely from e-recruiting data, the best approach from my experience is getting the candidacies in hired status -> get the application for the candidacy -> get the publication for the application -> get the publication channel candidate type. This information is not changing over the time and not depending on the candidate. Restrictions of this approach are usually direct assignments from talent pool, if internal and external candidates can release their profile. If you do not request an application for the candidacy you can not determine the candidate type. Furthermore in many organizations the e-recruiting process ends with hiring the cadidate. Noone maintains rejections for the no shows so you get too many hirings from the e-recruting data. But perhaps this approach works in your scenario.
Kind Regards
PS: The method mentioned above works fine to find out if a candidate is currently an internal or external candidate. Unfortunately these methods are often to slow for mass use in reporting. So from a performance point of view reading HRP1001 relations and HRP5102 INACTIVE flag is the better solution.

E-recruiting - Customizing external candidate start page with a new start p

Hi ,
I require some inputs from you on creation of new start page for external candidate.
I have a requirement to hide Age / Gender fields in the Personal data tab of the external candidate application wizard in the external candidate start page.
I Created a new start page with I.D "9001" and using customized context i was able to hide the Age and Gender fields. The URL using the customized context looked like below;
http://XXXXXX.XX.XXXXXXXXX.XXX:8053/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_ext?sap-client=300&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=9000&rcfContext=NAEXT
The external candidate start page requires the following services assignment to a service user;
hrrcf_apply_ext: Apply with Reference Code (Non Registered Candidate)
hrrcf_cand_reg: External Candidate, Registration
hrrcf_unrg_srch: Non Registered Candidate, Job Search
The service user requires SAP standard role u201CRCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATEu201D to provide access to any external candidate to do a job search and register. This role in standard would have application object u201C0002u201D u2013 Standard external candidate start page I.D which would provide access to the start page.
We have cloned the role to include the customized application object u201C9001u201D and have assigned it to the service user.
But even after doing this i get an error message when trying to execute the URL in IE which reads "You do not have the required authorisation to use this start page"
Iam not sure if iam missing anything on the authorisation part. Please advise.
Thanks
G Raj

Hello G Raj,
it seems you are mixing some things up. The service user is only for all parts of the e-recruiting which are accessable without logging in. This includes services linked to the unregistered search and the registration (where the applicant creates his candidate / his login). The service user is no candidate and has a special role (must not have a candidate object or the candidate authorization role).
As soon as someone logs into the system, e.g. to his start page, he acts as candidate. Depending on his relation to a P object he is either an external or an internal candidate.
In your example we are talking about external candidates. These candidates get a reference user assigned on candidate creation which is customized for the external candidate role (here the e-recruiting role) in IMG. Usually it is called RCF_CAND_EXT. The SAP delivery role (here the authorization role) this reference user gets is SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE (as long as you are using BSP). You have to copy this role to a customer one and replace the value 0002 of auth object P_RCF_APPL (Application in E-Recruiting) by your customer one 9000.
Then everything should work fine.

EREC - Recruiter profile no change on external candidates

Hi,
Our recruiter shall not be able to change data on external candidates, but a recruiter shall be able to create internal and external candidates via his recruiter profile. When we changedthe recruiters profile in backend, he lost the ability to create internal and external candidates.
Does anyone have experience in what settings must be made and where?

hi,
there's more than one way to skin a cat . . .
- using fpm to configure the service . . .
or
- login as content admin ( enterprise portal )
- click on portal content
- sap content > specialist>recruiter-->iViews --> select the iview "external candidate management" or any other iview . .
- right click "preview"
- right click within the service --> change config
select the element you want to change / disable . . . an put everything into a transport
or
using the se80
or . . . .
hope that helps

E-Rec - Add text to Notes tab of Int. candidate application wizard

Hello,
I have a requirement to add some more text to the Notes Tab of the Internal candidate application wizard. I have defined the text using SOTR_EDIT.
I find that texts available in the notes tab of the internal applicant start page are logically grouped in the package/ alias PAOC_RCF_UI/TITLE_REG_APPLN_ENTRY_M (From M1 to M10)
Hence i created the additional text as PAOC_RCF_UI/TITLE_REG_APPLN_ENTRY_M11
Iam not sure how to group the text items from M1 to M11 to make the new text i have added to display in the notes tab. Can this requirement be handled in configuration or does it require activation of BADI "BTFR_CONTEXT". If this can be handled only through BADI activation, pls. let me know the steps how to modify the BADI.
Thanks
G Raj

Hello Sebastian,
My requirement is to add customer text only to the Notes tab of the Employee application wizard.
I was able to make modifications to the standard text in the Notes tab of the Employee application wizard using SOTR_EDIT.
But i suppouse, the Package and Alias is commonly used in Employee as well as external candidate application wizard. This has resulted in the changes reflecting in the External candidate application wizard also.
How do i restrict the changes to reflect only in the Employee application wizard and not in External candidate application wizard.
Can this be handled only by modifying the BSP??? your inputs please.
Thanks

E-Recruiting: Exposure to External Candidates

Hi Experts,
We're currently in the initial phase of implementing e-Recruiting 6.0 (Integrated scenario) at a telecom client on a global scale. Following is the doubt:
Can we do away with exposing the client's e-Recruiting system to the external world/internet. Client has decided not to expose the e-Rec. system to the external world/internet. Question is so how will the external candidates search, register & apply for the jobs? A workaround is to have the external candidates' data which is currently being captured on their existing career site (non-SAP legacy) & pull the data to e-Recruiting. On this, I'm not sure how will the mapping be achieved.
Is this scenario possible through some std. functionality (we're not using PI/XI). If this solution is a Z solution, what are the efforts required for custom development? How will we intergrate SAP KRPO for storing the documents & TREX indexing etc.
Thanks in advance,
Sachin.

Hi Sachin,
Hope you are doing good.
Some pointers to exposing your PA-ER System to external candidates, This is standard security process.
Concept of DMZone:
External candidates: to register and search for vacancies available in the company, the web applications residing on the E-Recruitment system (ECC System) should be made available via internet.
Additional security to the Intranet ERP system: ERP system has to be separated from the external users using reverse proxy server configured in the DMZone (neutral zone in between Intranet and External network, which is protected by firewall) of the company, So , externally would not have direct access to the E-Recruitment system.
Exposing the IP address of E-Recruitment system: we expose the IP address of reverse proxy server for public access. Then the reverse proxy server would be configured in such a way that all the requests for E-Recruitment applications would come to the standard HTTP port XX of the reverse proxy server and the reverse proxy would take care of forwarding the requests and (transparently) sending them back as if it was the content server itself.
ISA Server 200X: the reverse proxy server has many additional features and, most of the customers prefer to implement their reverse proxy scenarios on ISA Server series.

Not able to connect to E-recruitment Screen with EXternal Candidate URL

HI., when i generate the External candidate URL., by making use of the same i am not able to connect to the portal Screen of E-recruitment.. (I am able to connect with other roles like Recruiter and Employee)
How else can i connect to the Screen to fill the application details in E-recruitment.

Hi,
please make sure that your user is really an external candidate. The logon for external candidates works with the ALIAS instead of the username. Ss if you want to logon with your user as an external candidate you have to enter the username in the field ALIAS within SU01.
Cheers

E- Recruitment 600 - External candidate creation

Hi All,
I created internal candidate and iam able to view the start pages of the internal candidate.
But when followed the similar steps to create external candidate iam facing lot of issues starting from User creation. can anyone share their inputs wrt ext candidate user creation and its related portal page.
thanks in advance.
kind regards
saipriyan

Hello Sai,
of course you are right that the standard functions to create an external candidte differ from creating an internal one. In the production scenarios there are basically 3 ways to create an external candidate:
- The candidate uses the registration where he registers to the candidate pool without actually applying to a position
- The candidate uses the unregistered search and applies for a position. In the process of applying the candidate is created
- The recruiter uses the minimum data entry functionality accessable through a link on his startpage to enter a hardcopy application into the system
These 3 scenarios are available for creating the external candidate but each of them requires a certain amount of configuration (e.g. unregistered search requires a properly set up TREX search engine) which usually takes some time.
On the very beginning of a project when the servers are installed and the basic configurations have been done, I usually test all standard start pages to see if the basic settings are ok. In this case all I want is the ability to log in and call the startpages. Then I use the described approach to just give an internal candidate which is usually my test user the authorization for the external startpage and I set the username as Alias so I can call the page. Of course next steps are creating the first requsition / posting / publication and test the application wizard (as said this requires the TREX set up or some help report to generate a direct application link). But overall for me I find it very handy to ba able to log on to all internal and external applications with my test user so I do not need to remember several logins as long I do not start testing full scenarios with applied authorization.

E-recruiting status of a external candidate data

Hi experts,
I have a question about status of an external candidate data. Here I have a situation where the customer I'm working for asked that whenever a external candidate create data (a CV) via e-recruiting, the information should be available to recruiters and only be blocked if the candidate perform a step to block data. Today the standard does the opposite, when an external candidate creates data, this data remais blocked until the candidate unblocks it via a step in E-recruiting.
Is there any possible way to change that via customize or I'll have to create an enhancement?
Thanks in advance for your time!
best wishes,
Thais

Hi Sally

External Candidate -- E-Recruiting EhP4

I have a situation -- the external candidate completes the registration and when she clicks on the Register button, nothing happens -- it does not take you to the candidate profile screen.
I checked in the backend and the data is created, BP, et al.
With the same set of data, if you click on the Register button again, an error is displayed, "the same e-mails address exists".
Would you know what might be the cause?
The customer is in QA. We are not able to set up the debugged in the QA

Hi,
in addition to the post above. If you use a frontend and a backend server for e-recruiting not only check that the unregistered candidate / service user has the authorization to assign the role of the external candidate to the newly created candidate (often a problem if you copy the standard roles to z-roles and forget to replace the standard assignment authorization to the new z role). Also check that the unregistered candidate role on the backend includes the RFC authorization for function group SUSR as this is missing in some release stacks.
You also should remember that the unregistered candidate has to have the user type "Service" and must not have a candidate created using rcf_create_user otherwise the session switch from the unregistered to the newly created user will not work properly.
If you still have trouble take a deeper look into authorization. You can use SU53 (and switch to the unregistered user) to see the last missing authorization or better run an authorization trace using ST01 for the user.
