E-Recruiment 6.0 - External candidates - Work Experience

As an external candidate I am able to register and login to the job search BSP.
The first time I am able to create a "Work Experience" record, no issues. However, the second time I try to create a new record for the Work Experience tab, it throws a error message saying "Complete all required fields". Flexibilization is working for the RECRUITER context for the same page without an errors, but while using the EXTERNAL context this error message occurs.
I have regenerated URL's, regenerated HRP5103 etc, regenerated customer include in HRP5103 etc, all to no luck.
Any pointers appreciated.
Regards, Sunil

Did you make changes to the Work Experience BSP? I am thinking if you made changes, then the error could be because in Flexibilization you have hidden the field for the External candidate context, while in your code changes you have made the system to check if the field is not blank before allowing to save.

E-Recruiment 6.0 - External candidate search for Jobs

Configuration situation: I have configured the search functionality and the OTR text.
Requirement is to add State and City to the external candidate search for jobs page.
Z search template element using "FROZEN_REQUI_JOB_INFORMATION"-region field has been created. This custom search element has been assigned to the template. Also a custom search group has been created and assigned to relevant application.
Issue: In the BSP page for external candidate job search, only the cities are showing up without the state. Further more, if you select a country, the city is not getting restricted according to the selected country.
The class used is CL_HRRCF_BRANCH.
If I want to get the region and city onto the standard BSP page, will the class have to be modified? Any other ideas?
Assistance appreciated.
Regards, Sunil

Hi Sunil,
If i understood correctly, the requirement is to add state and city fields to external candidate job search. For that follow the procedure.
1) In "Define Search Template Elements" node, copy the element "FRO_REQ_JOB_INFO_COUNTRY_LB"
to "XXX" and make entries to "FIELD". For city add "CITY" to FIELD fields in "Attributes of infotype category" and "Data Collection". For Region add "region" to FIELD fields in "Attributes of infotype category" and "Data Collection".
2) Add this element to search template 0021at "Assign Search Template Elements to Search Templates"node.
3) Then assign the search template to search group 0005 at node "Assign Search Templates to Search Template Groups".
Now u should be able to see the fields with drop down lists on BSP screen.

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.

EREC: work experience, make end date not mandatory, current employer flag?

Hi,
is there a way to make the end date of an external candidate's work experience NOT mandatory when the candidate is created by a recruiter?
Here's the code that triggers the error message when the recruiter doesn't enter an end date:
WD: ERC_C_CAND_EDU_WORKEXP_UI
View : V_WORK_EXP_POP
Method : ONACTIONOK
IF lv_sdate IS NOT INITIAL AND lv_edate IS INITIAL.
    CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->raise_t100_error
      EXPORTING
        msgid = 'HRRCF0007'
        msgno = 110
        msgty = 'E'.
    RETURN.
ENDIF.
If there's no other way, I guess I will have to create an enhancement, but in the code I read about a "current employer flag", so it seems there might exist a better solution. Can a recruiter set the current employer flag somewhere to avoid entering an end date?
Joë

Hello Joel,
The 'current employer flag' is the checkbox you can flag in the work experience maintenance. This flag means that the entry you are now creating is the last current one (which means your current employment). If you activate that checkbox the system automatically creates that entry with the high date as end date. So you only have to fill the start date but in your case that would not be successful as you would have only valid work experience entries then which could lead eg. to wrong results in the search scenarios and rankings.

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.

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.

Disable duplicate email check for external candidate registration

Hi,
I am working with eRecruitment 6.0 and I would like to disable the duplicate email check on the external candidate registration page. Has anyone done this before? I have chased the code down to where it check for correct email syntax but I can't find where it does the duplicate email check. I debugged to where I was starting to see BP type function modules and bapis but I still can't find the check. I just want to turn it off for testing then turn it back on and test more. I have searched OSS and SDN and still no answers. I thought about using an enhancement point to 'ignore' the message but by the point the system has already decided not to create the user so ignoring the message is a mute point.
Anyone been down this road and can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hola,
Ok a small 'enhancement' to CL_HRRCF_ADDRESS_SERVICE->IS_EMAIL_UNIQUE has done the trick. Not exactly a best practice but will get me through this testing. NO this will not be going to production. This is strictly a test.
Cheers!

E-Rec 6.04 Incorrect status of external candidate user password.

Hi,
We are on E-Rec 604 with seperated standalone e-rec system.
I have a problem with the password of external candidates. When an external candidate is registered in the application, introduce user and password and all mandatory fields and all work ok. He can enter in his profile, introduce all fields, apply offers, etcu2026
But when he log off and try to access again, the password is incorrect. If the external candidate Request a new password all works ok and when introduce this one and change this initial password, this new one let him to access in the future login in the correct way.
I realized that this is because the USER in R3 of the external candidate is cretaed with the field Password Status set to Initial password (set by administrator) and I think it is wrong, the status must be Product. Password. Instead, when request new password and set the new one the field status is Product. Password., the correct statusu2026
I´m very confused I don´t know what can I did wrong.
The type of the user is Dialog and the user that create all the external candidates user is the WF-BATCH my workflow useru2026 I think perhaps this is the reasonu2026 This is the correct user to create the external users?. Perhaps.. I set the assigned agent bad in any Workflowu2026?
Somebody could guide me, please?.
Best Regards,

Hi,
it seems you have a workflow in background sending out a smartforms based email after registration.
This smartforms seems to have a password generation mechanism, which overwrites the password of the user with a new initial one.
Please check that.

EREC: Internal Error while logging in using Registered External Candidate

Hi,
We are on ECC 6.0 EHP 5 & ERECRUIT 605 (0005) and EP 7.0 SP22.
I'm on the final stages of config on Production system for eRec applications, all works fine and ready for LIVE except the below functionality:
1. i've registered 2 uses as external candidates using the external url
2. when trying to login with that user, it throws internal error - this kind of issue didn't happen in DEV/QAS.
when i've checked the SLG1 below came:
Serious error; see log
The error occurred in program CL_HRRCF_ABSTRACT_CONTROLLER==CM001 line 56
The user is not assigned a candidate or an employee
The error occurred in program CL_HRRCF_START_A==============CM007 line 19
The user is not assigned a candidate or an employee - this message didn't make me any sense as its the external candidate who is logging into the system.
Then i've checked that user by running the HRALXSYNC >User: 455DC84C411 > F8. This gave me below errors:
Determination of connections to object 'CP' of 'US' '455DC84C411' failed
User 455DC84C411 is not integrated in the organizational model
This kind of issue didn't repeated while I was configuring the DEV and QAS system, why i'm getting this only in PRD?
Awaiting for valuable inputs.
Thanks,
MS

Hi,
I do not really understand what you expect from report HRALXSYNC. This report has nothing to do with the external candidates.
A common issue when things on the production system are not working like on dev / qs are insufficient authorization tests. So you should check the authorization trace for the sevice user wich is defined in the external alias for the external candidate registration ICF service. Furthermore checking the NA, CP, BP, US objects and the relations between them can help analyse authorization problems on the object creation.

EREC: theme for Web Dynpro ABAP pages (external candidate)

Hello,
I have created a custom theme in the SAP Netweaver Portal for my customer and now I have the requirement to use the same theme for my stand-alone Web Dynpro ABAP applications (pages for the external candidate). Is it possible to use the same stylesheet as in the portal, without having to recreate a theme?
I tried several options, but none of them did work:
A. Downloading the portal theme as a ZIP file and then uploading it in ERP using the report BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS (after unzipping) to a location /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/CUSTOM_THEME. After that, I call my application with the additional URL parameter sap-wd-themeroot=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/CUSTOM_THEME but it does not work (the app is displayed with the default sap_tradeshow stylesheet)
B. I also tried calling my app using the URL parameter sap-cssurl=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/CUSTOM_THEME but here again, it does not work (the app is displayed with the default sap_tradeshow stylesheet)
C. Downloading the portal theme as a ZIP file and then uploading it (zipped) using the report WD_THEMES, but here I receive the error "no themes found in the ZIP file". I have the same error if I upload only the ur.zip I receive from the portal (instead of uploading the whole *.zip file)
I checked the UR versions both in portal & ERP, and we had a lower version in the portal than in the ERP, so we upgraded the portal version according to SAP note 1446099. Now we have a higher version in the portal than in the ERP. We regenrated the portal theme and downloaded it again, but with the same result.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the solution to our problem?
Thanks in advance!

I would recommend to try another way. If it is possible to access any SAP Portal from outside you can use two URL Parameters to integrate the Portal style sheets in a standalone WDA application. The parameter sap-cssurl contains the absolute URL address to the style sheet and parameter sap-cssversion the current SAP Portal style sheet version. For all external facing scenarios it is important to use the whitelist mechanism to block unknown URLs.
Example
?sap-cssurl=http://myportal.myserver.com:50000/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme/ur/ur_ie6.css
&sap-cssversion=7.11.5.20.0
I canu2019t recommend to raise manually the version number. You will not get an consistent system this way. The meta data (project.zip) are outdated and of course you will get an outdated theme.

Candidate Profile - External Candidates- Data not saving

HI All,
I have a developed a custom Web Dynpro application and added it to the Candidate Profile.
This Custom Webdynpro application is updating a custom infotype.
When I run the candidate profile application for external candidates, it does not save data in the custom infotypes but it is working(saving) fine for internal candidates.
Also I noted that there the standard Education infotype updating the standard infotype is saving data and working fine even for external candidate.
Can anyone help me on this?
Is it Infotype Authorization issue?
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Hey Nicole,
Can it be some infotype level authorizations that we need to maintain.
Because the standard application for education, updating infotype 5104 is working fine for both internal and external candidate.
But my custom application updating the custom infotype(9XXX) is working fine(i.e. saving data) for internal candidate but not for external candidate.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

"Central system not accessible" when registering external candidate !!

Hi,
When registering an external candidate via candidate registration link we get an error as " Central system niet bereikt ( This is translation of "Central system does not reach " in Dutch language ). This issue is for only ONE language NL (Dutch) and working fine for other languages.
The SICF service HRRCF_CAND_REG is displayed correctly in all languages . But when an external candidate goes to register itself, he gets such an error message. The recent installation of Dutch language was done correclty.
Please help ,as what could be the possible reason.
Thanks
Shubham

Hi Shubham,
Did you add Dutch language in this parameter zcsa/installed_languages in RZ10 ?
Thanks

External Candidate Registration does not create the user id

Hi Everyone
I am implementing EREC on Enhancement Pack 4 and I am trying to get External Candidate Registration to work. When I try to register nothing happens. User Id's are not created and I am not taken to the Candidate Profile screen. I have activated in SICF the hrrcf_a_candidate_registration service and assigned RCF_UNREG as a service user to it. I used OSS note 1017866 but it says:
Execute the IMG activities under "'SAP E-Recruiting' -> 'Technical
Settings' -> 'User Interfaces' -> 'Settings for User Interfaces with WebDynpro ABAP'". Note that you must execute the IMG activity for both the front end and the back end.
EP4 does not have this IMG path anymore.. So do I just setup both front end and back end? Can anyone help.
Thanks.
Vince

Vincent, I'm experiencing the same problem but had trouble finding the answer in the forums. What fix did you use?
thanks,

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
Apologies for the late resonse, we have applied the note and system is generating another error. Please see the details below:
When a Recruiter creating the external candidate and on saving the data system is generating the following error. We are using the EP5 system.
