E-recruiting Blueprint

We are new to E-recruiting. We would like to see what someone else has done with their E-recruiting project. Can anyone share their Blueprint for E-recruiting with us? We are just getting started and are just in the planning stage but are looking to get E-recruiting up and running in the next six months. Any help would be appreciated. We are moving from a paper process directly to E-recruiting.
Regards,
Jim

I will be happy to share any information I get. We are also trying to get information from some of the consulting firms we do business with. We went through a lot of pain trying to even determine whether we could run E-recruiting 6 on our current environment (ECC 5) and were told by several people (who shall remain nameless) that it could be done. After a week of research and search the SAP website, we found a couple of notes and an E-recruiting architecture document that said differrent.
Additionally, we asked SAP to talk to the E-recruiting Product Manager who confirmed that we need to run E-recruiting 6 on ECC 6. We have had some argument still from other consultants that it can be done using ECC 5 but they all admit that to use all of the functionality of E-recruiting 6 you need to run it on ECC 6 as well. Your core R/3 can be something other than ECC 6 but the E-recruiting instance should be ECC 6. Also, SAP told us that 90% of their customers implement E-recruiting on a separate instance mainly for security purposes since the outside world is now updating your database. This also means that we will need to use ALE to get data back and forth between the instances.
As you have seen, there is not a lot of information out there on E-recruiting and especially not version 6.

Jim

Hi,
Every Roll-out of SAP modules is similar based on the functionalities required for each of the countries or employee groups rolled out to.
some of the Key things for E-recruitment Roll-out are-
1) Processes are defined and documented in the Blueprint already which have been developed and tested.
2) If there is any country specific changes, like language, external candidates profile, application wizard process, questionnaire.
3) Recuiter should ensure to use appropriate process templates respective to the various roll-out specifics
4) The project would be executed in the ASAP methodlofy with Regression testing of critical processes currently in process.
5) Functional and Technical resources would be required based on the scope changed with the developed/ already implemented e-Rec solution. Basis and security are required from the server maintenance, assigning roles, performance testing and for updates if any to TREX
In a nut-shell, ensure you are combining and harmonising the Client specific processes with SAP standard functionalities for effecient maintenance and exploring various functionalities linked to MSS.

EREC: What is new in SAP E-Recruitment 6.0 SP5, SP7 and SP8?

Hi
Does anyone know what are the features available or improved in SAP E-Recruitment 6.0 for Support Package 5,7 & 8?
Regards
Ridzuan
Edited by: Ridzuan Mohsin on Nov 18, 2011 9:30 AM

Hi Ridzuan,
as the named support packages are already years old is your question actually about e-recruiting 600 or do you mean the support packages for an enhancement package (like EhP 3 or EhP 4) for the e-recruiting application.

Issue in Data transfers using ALE for E-Recruiting standalone system

Dear Experts,
We have an issue in data transfers using ALE. We are having standalone system where E-Recruiting is maintaind seperately and the version is EHP5.
When we configured iDoc in Sandbox and its working fine. But when it comes to Dev and Quality servers this is not working fine.
we have created iDocs using the following filters.
For Object P: Infotypes 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0006, 0024, 0105.
For Objects O,S: 1032, Subtype: 0010
For Object: 1001, Subtype: A003, A008, A012, B007
For Object O: 1001, Subtype: A002, B002, B003, B012, Tyoe of related object: O,S
For Objects: C, O, S, Subtype: 1000, 1002, 1028
For Object:C, Subtype: 1001, Subtype: A007
When we do the data transfers in Sandbox using PFAL it is transferring the data properly.
But when we do the same iin Dev and Quality servers we are not able to do it and gettign 52, 51 errors.
Here we are facing a strange issue. For some Users when we transfer data it is transferring data but with 52 error messgae.
For some users I am getting 51 error where i could not transfer any data.
For some users, when we tranfer O, S, and P related data is moving but getting mostly 52 error and all the relationships are not moving here for O,S and properly. But P related CP, BP and NA are getting created successfully.
It is happening only in Dev and Quality server and that too some users are able to get transferred but not all.
Where will be the issue? How can we resolve this?
Any help will be appreciable.
Thank you in advance.

Custom Application Configuration not pulling the data in E-Recruiting

Hello,
My requirement is to make some fields 'required', hide some buttons, change button texts & hide some columns in standard wd component (ERC_A_REQ_MGMT) delivered by SAP. So I created an application configuration and component configuration and did the layout customization. Now in the application I am passing this new configuration name with the parameter (sap-wd-configId)(......sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/erc_a_req_mgmt?sap-wd-configId=ZZERC_A_REQ_MGMT)
As this is a portal environment, in LPD_CUST, In the application parameters, I've used this parameter (sap-wd-configId=ZZERC_A_REQ_MGMT). The custom application is displayed, however, the data is not being passed to this custom configuration, so when I open a exisiting requisition from dashboard, this is shown as empty screen (like a new requisition), but when I take off this parameter from the lpd_cust, the standard app is working fine. Can you please help me understand why the data is not being passed to the custom application configuration?
Really appreciate your insights.
Thank you.

Hi,
We faced the same issue in SAP E-recruiting EHP4 solution. The reason is, the configuration which is assigned statically in FPM editor is loaded after the OVERRIDE_EVENT_OIF and thus discards all context nodes which have been already initialized. Afterwards, the context node of has no value anymore and the field on UI doesnu2019t display anything.
Remove the static component configuration in the FPM editor and use the following code in the wddoinit method of the view V_GEN_JOB_INFO. This assignment happens at the runtime.
data: lo_api_controller          type ref to if_wd_component,
        lo_pers_manager            type ref to if_wd_personalization,
        ls_configuration           type wdy_config_key,
        lt_config_table            type wdy_config_table,
        ls_config_header           type wdy_config_header,
        lo_fpm                     type fpm_s_runtime_info,
        ls_fpm                     type fpm_s_runtime_info.
      lo_api_controller = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
     lo_pers_manager = lo_api_controller->get_personalization_manager( ).
     lo_fpm = wd_comp_controller->go_fpm->get_runtime_info( ).
    ls_configuration-config_id    = u2018ZERU_REG_REQ_MGMT_UIu2019 u201C Your Component configuration name
    lo_pers_manager->load_config_by_key( ls_configuration ).

CP and BP is not being created in E-Recruitment after PFAL

Dear Experts,
I need your valuable insight into the below issue:
We are implementing SAP E-Recruitment in our company and we have a stand alone system for e-rec, i.e. I2-B scenario. Release 604.
We defined the process model, filter groups as described in note and many threads here. We are able to transfer (distribute) objects O, S, C, Q and QK using PFAL. When I am trying to distribute object P (IT0000, 0001, 0002, 0006, 0009, 0105 and 1001), object P is getting created with PA infotypes but system does not create the CP, BP and NA objects in E-Rec. My understanding after reading the documentation and some threads on SCN is that system should create these objects (CP, BP and NA) on distributing Object P from ECC.
Do we need to Run the HRALXSYNC program in E-Recruitment to create these objects? We thought of running this program as well but the Employee Check box in the selection screen of the program is disabled. Even after implementing BADI HRALX_HRALXSYNC_BADI it remains disabled.
Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated...
Kind Regards
Syed Aijaz

Dear Salil,
Thank you for the quick response.
I had considered maintaing the number ranges for CP in E-Recruitment, but had two concerns/doubts about it:
1. We have already generated CP in ECC for all Persons and the numbers are taken from an internal range Subgroup ($$$$) and CPs have their own IDs starting with 5XXXXXXX. Now if I maintain a number range in E-Rec, different from this, would that be an issue? I understand that we need to have the same CP ID in both the systems (ECC and E-Rec). Kindly clarify.
2. We have not maintained any number ranges for other objects (O, S, C, Q, & QK) in E-Rec system. But system has created these objects in E-Recruitment on running PFAL.
Currently we are doing all these settngs in Sandbox system only.
Kindly advise....
Thanks

Function Modules and non-PI services to create a front-end to E-Recruiting

I have looked quite a bit throughout the forums and via Google and am having a hard time answering this question. I'm positive I'm not the first to ask this. Anyway, our business users are not too keen on the look and feel of the WebDynpros or BSP's that are available via the E-Recruiting system. They would like to really change the look and feel of the application. Is there any document discussing how to change the look and feel of the External Facing job board and application process? I have not been able to find a cookbook or anything related to this. I could dig through a bunch of code and work my way back, but their has to be a better way.
I'm looking for either a how-to guide that discusses to what extent the look and feel of the screen can change and/or what are the services/function modules that are being used for the external candidate (create candidate, list jobs, show job details, apply for jobs, etc.). Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

am not a techie so cannot answer your question in earnst but I know exactly how youfel about e-rec looka nd feel so adding my two pence:
1. when discussing e-rec it is imp to mentione the version below version 6 it was bsp 6 onwardsit is webdynpro.
2. before we discuss code changes, what is the extent of 'look and feel' change your clientwants? can that be addresed via the portal-theme by way of developing a flashy new css based theme? thatmakes life easy for everybody involved and also makes the entire nw portal flasy not just the outward facing job portal... at a comparitively low cost...
3. If the answer to abovepoint is a 'no' I guess the only option is to go-a-code-dredging,..
good luck.

Recruitment - Applicant attachments to be transferred to PA

Dear Experts,
Im able to transfer Applicant data from recruitment to PA and EMployee ID is generated along with Infotypes updation.
Now my query is Is there any option to transfer Applicants attachments also along with Applicants data transfer to PA in recruirment module??
If so where to do settings.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
In SAP each module is a stand alone module.
PBA7 and PBA8 are used for transferring of data from RC to PA.
If you want to transfer any data from one module to other module is possible by using data carrier instruments with technical people help.
Thanks,

Follow-up Activities in Recruitment...

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding 'Recruitment-PB60'. When I try to do 'Follow-up Activities', it is not working & giving me an error- 'Activity
type 007 not maintained (Choose another Entry) & likewise Activity Type 018 & 016 not ..............'
How would it be sorted out? Kindly explain.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
If you are hiring the applicant after completing the Bulk processing PBA3.
1. In PB60 you first select the Hire date from the planned activities and click on Follow-up activities then from the pop p screen tick the completed activity as interview inv.
In the next pop up complete activity select the activity type 016 interim reply.
2. Next again select the hire date from the planned activity and go to edit and select created completed activity and select the activity type 014 Hiring date.
Try to execute this and see.

Pulling Signature into an XML Publisher report for Recruitment letters

Hi All,
I'm trying to create signed recruitment letters for the Talent Acquisition module and am not quite sure how to handle this technically.. I assume some customizations are in order...
I guess some of the questions I have are:
1) Is there OOTB functionality to handle Signatures in PS?
2) Do i store the image in the database or on an accessible network/local drive location?
3) Can XML Publisher handle this type of request?
4) Is there any documentation out there to explain this in more detail?
5) Any advice on how to proceed?
I also have a company logo they want pulled into the XML Publisher Report.. i assume it would be a simliar effect.
Anyway, I was hoping someone out there may have some advice on how to proceed.
Regards,
Greg

Below excerpt from Oracle XML Publisher Core Components Guide
Images
XML Publisher supports several methods for including images in your published document:
Direct Insertion*
Insert the jpg, gif, bmp, or png image directly in your template.
URL Reference*
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the
following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter:
url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
You can also build a URL based on multiple elements at runtime. Just use the
concat function to build the URL string. For example:
url:{concat(SERVER,'/',IMAGE_DIR,'/',IMAGE_FILE)}

E-Recruiting and IE8

We are currently on E-Recruiting 6 with Enhancement Pack 3 SP level 5 with Netweaver 2004s (7.0) (support pack stack 20).

PROBLEM 
We did some testing with Internet Explorer 8 and the Candidate Web Dynpro seemed to work fine. However, if the user changed the zoom level to 125% (actually any zoom level not evenly divisible by 100%) then the initial screen displays (at least most of it) and then locks up. This was true for several possible entry points, all of which were Web Dynpro applications:
Candidate - External Registered
Candidate - Internal (Employee)
Candidate - Register as External

SAP NOTE 1347768 
We looked at SAP Note 1347768 ("Web Dynpro and Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 8.0").
Basically it said that if you are getting the message "Sorry, your browser/program is not supported by Web Dynpro!" then "Microsoft IE 8 browser version will be supported starting with following WebDynpro support package: NetWeaver04s,SP20 / NW7.0,SP20." But we are on SP20 but did not get the message "Sorry, your browser/program is not supported by Web Dynpro!".

SAP NOTE 1296463 
We also looked at SAP Note 1296463 ("Browser suport in NW 7.0").
This note said it is "the main note for browser support for Release NW 7.0.". The bottom indicated that "SAP aims to support Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.5 by Q1 2010 at the latest." Well that wasn't extremely helpful since some of our users are on Vista and use IE8. And since it didn't give more specifics like support packs, et cetera.

COMPATIBILITY MODE 
One other thing about Note 1296463 is that it says "Microsoft has confirmed that IE8 in compatibility mode works exactly like
Internet Explorer 7 (IE7). Any error that customers experience in IE8 in compatibility mode should also occur in the same way with IE7. So SAP will deal with this as with any other IE7 problem (standard support for all versions/patch levels that are released for use with IE7). However, if there is an issue with IE8 in compatibility mode that does NOT occur with IE7, SAP reserves the right to refer customers to Microsoft for assistance." Our findings were that this problem did not happen in IE7, but DID happen in IE8 when in compatibility mode!

JUST GIVE ME A PICTURE 
The document that was MOST USEFUL was, by far, a PDF I found that neatly summarizes what I wanted to know ... the document's title is SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Product Availability Matrix (PAM) [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80800e7d-da0e-2b10-9e8c-b85181ad8fac?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
This document showed (on page 8) that Web Dynpro (for NW 7.0) is supported for IE8 on Vista as of Support Pack Stack 15 & on Windows 7 as of SPS 20. It also confirmed that our Linux Firefox 3.5 users (and believe me, you get them all when you have external candidates from around the world appying to jobs) are not supported until SPS21 & we are on SPS21. Useful information!

SAP NOTE 1397363 
Now that we knew we are on a "supported" verison, we felt better about submitting an SAP message asking for help. We then sent SAP a message and they were kind enough to point us to SAP Note: 1397363 ("Web Dynpro application freezes if zoom level changed in IE8"). We applied that note and that fixed our problem.

Edited by: David Broughton on Dec 21, 2009 8:13 AM

Hi,
do you have a solution for the problem? We have actually a similar problem with locked IE8 when using a zoom factor > 100% (it's a customer WD4A).

Steffen Brauner

Can E-RECRUITING share the same box of ECC?

I always install E-RECRUITING on a dedicated server as an ABAP application. Then connect to its backend ECC.
Just curious, can I install E-RECRUITING on the same box where its backend ECC system is installed? ECC and E-RECRUITING will have
different SIDs but co-exist in one Oracle MCOD DB.
Further more, can E-RECRUITING and its backend ECC belong to the same SID but on different clients?
Thanks for help.

Yes and yes. The first scenario is comparable to I2-A and the second one to I2-B. See the application help for details.
