E-Recruiting - Data Overview Format

Does anyone know where the parameter is stored that controls data overiew formats (PDF/HTML) at a user level? (I want to know where it is stored not where to change it on the screens).
Many Thanks
Rich

Hi,
table SPERS_OBJ can be maintained directly if the client allows changes. So the quickest solution would be to work with a basis admin who temporarly opens the system for changes and then directly add / change the necessary entries via SE11 / SE16.
A record has to contain the following field velues:
Field          Value
SPERS_TYPE     U
SPERS_LOBJ     <username>
SPERS_KEY      HRRCF_PREF_DATA_OVER_FORMAT
FIELDNAME      <empty>
SPERS_GUID     <empty>
DATUM          <current date>
UZEIT          <current time>
INTLEN         000003 or 000004
INT2           3 or 4
SPERS_FLD      PDF or HTML
The alternative, if opening the system for changes is not possible, is to write a short program which has field for the user name on the selection screen and uses class cl_pers_admin method set_data. Pass HRRCF_PREF_DATA_OVER_FORMAT for p_pers_key, <username> for p_uname and PDF or HTML for p_pers_data parameter.

Problems with E-Recruiting Data Overview Smartforms

Hello,
We recently upgraded from E-Recruiting 3.0 sp12 to sp15. During this upgrade we have noticed that our custom Data Overview Smartforms have not being displayed. Instead the system is calling the original SAP delivered forms. The problem is that in table T77RCF_UI_PARAM we have the parameters set to display the correct forms. As strange as that sounds we were able to fix most of them by changing the case, i.e. from lower to upper or upper to lower, of the BSP application name. We are still however having problems with one particular BSP application:
<b>Name                         Paramtyp             Parameter</b>
HRRCF_CAND_DOVR    DISPLAY_PDF     Z_ER_CANDIDATE_PREVIEW
HRRCF_CAND_DOVR    SF_VIEW_CAND     Z_ER_CANDIDATE_PREVIEW
The SAP delivered smartform is HRRCF_CANDIDATE_PREVIEW.
This one, regardless of what case the BSP application is in, continually displayes the SAP delivered smartform.
I have verified that the custom form is indeed active. And we also went as far as appying oss notes:
Note 1017662 - T77RCF_UI_PARAM: Application name is case-sensitive
Note 1037121 - T77RCF_UI_PARAM: Length of Input Field Parameters too short
Yet another twist to this is that when I log on as an Internal Candidate and click on the Data Overview link on the external candidate personnel page the custom form is displayed. However, when I log on as an External Candidate and click on the same link the SAP delivered form is displayed.
Could this have something to do with the type of roles assigned? Just incase I verified that the roles for the External Candidate were indeed SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE and the internal role was SAP_RCF_INTERNAL_CANDIDATE.
Any help would be appreciated!
Respectfully,
Ryan

Well the error you are facing, that the external candidate does not see the custom smartform depends on a new BSP application that is delivered with SP14.
You need to copy the customizing of hrrcf_cand_dovr to hrrcf_cdovr_ext.

Can Attachments be displayed in Job Postings Data Overview in E-recruiting?

Hi All,
Please advise if it is possible to have attachments displayed in the data overview of published job postings to be viewed via Web Dynpro applications e.g. apply direct for internal candidates to view the attachments as they are searching for jobs?
Any help and information will be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

Hi Venki,
Thanks for your information!
May I also clarify that in order for attachments to be displayed in the data overview ofpublished job postings for internal candidates (candidates point of view) via the web dynpro screens in the portal, programming will be required?
Currently, from the recruiter point of view, attachments in the requisitions are already available in the data overview of the job posting.
thanks again!

E-Recruiting 3.0 - Problem with emailing Candidate's Data Overview as .pdf

Hello,
Not sure if I'm posting this to the correct forum, so please let me know if you suggest somewhere else to post.
I'm trying to make available the data overview for applicants to hiring managers by emailing the Data Overview .pdf to them. This is done while logged into the system via the web, and having the data overview open. One of the options is to email a copy of the .pdf, which is what I am choosing to do.
The email recipient can open up the .pdf file, but if there is an attachment to the overview (like a resume), the url link is incorrect, and the attached document cannot be retrieved. When I hover over the url, it starts out with "file:///sap....", when it should start out with "https://jobs.mphi.org/sap...."
When we originally testing this out months ago it did work. Not sure what has changed in the meantime causing this to no longer work. I'm hoping that someone else might have experienced the same or similar issue and would be able to assist me.
Thank you,
Leeanna

Well,
this is not a WebDynpro topic. The issue you have is quite clear.
The links within the PDF have a relative link. Because of this, you can only click on the links within the PDF while having it open in the web browser.
The only possibility to make the links available offline, is to modify. In this case you need to change the link generation to absolute links.
But besides that, sending data overview by mail is quite unsafe and a big security risk for handling of applicant privacy.

Data overview - SAP E-recruiting

Hi experts,
I observed that the data overview is working if we use PDF in the personal settings. However it doesnot work .
Regards,
Bharat

Hello Bharat,
some questions:
- with which dataoverview do you have this problem
- on which particular place / step of the application are you opening the dataoverview
- which ui technology do you use there (BSP or WebDynpro)
- is the dateroverview showing up as html or is there a general error with the dataoverview
If you could supply this information we surely can give hints what to do.

Rename filename of Data Overview PDF

Hi,
Using E-Recruiting, when the user opens a BSP to see a Data Overview (SmartForm), it opens up Adobe Acrobat to view it. However, the filename is 'dummy.pdf' when it opens up. The client would like it to be something else, but I can't find out where the filename gets populated!
I have checked the controller for the BSP, as well as the function module for the SmartForm, but I still can't find out where this name is being populated. I check this forum often for other problems, and you guys are great!! Please help!

Joe,
In this sample BSP application SF_WEBFORM_04 I see the following code, which might be of interest, just check out.

Specifying date time format in Finder

How can I specify the date-time format in Finder for the "date-modified" and "date-created" columns in list view?
About three years ago, I got a command line instruction to set these formats and I kept it at mm/dd/yy
Then a couple days ago, I changed the date format in iStat menus and the date-time formats started acting weird. I want the dates to be like "07/08/05" (mm/dd/yy) and then the formats started changing to "November 07, 2008" (month/dd/yyyy). This change seemed to take effect any time I open the view options for a folder. Now I discovered that the date format change depending on the column width according to the format specified in system preferences, international, formats.
Narrow column, short date format; a little wider to long format, with ellipses if the column is not wide enough; then full format.
Does anyone know the command line to set the format to keep it to the one I want?

this doesn't seem to be it. however I now like the way Finder does display dates -- format gets more compact as the width of the column decreases; although there still is some excess space left on the left -- perhaps for AM & PM which I don't use; I use a 24 hour time format instead.
Happy New Year

Trasnform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM

Hi All,
How do I transform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM?
I am able to get the format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss by using the standard date function. How do I get AM or PM to end of MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss??
Thanx
Navin

Hi Navin,
How AM/PM is added? In the sample values given its in 24 hrs notation. Are u sure you want to add AM/PM to this notation? or U want to change this 24 hrs notation into 12 hrs and add AM/PM?
For converting into 12 hrs and appending AM/PM you can use this code:
input a:
int hr = Integer.parseInt(a.substring(11,13));
String appendVal = "AM";
if(hr > 12){
   hr = hr - 12;
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 12){
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 00){
   hr = hr + 12;
Sting finalVal = a.substring(0,11) + String.ValueOf(hr) + a.substring(13,a.length()) + appendVal;
return finalVal;

E-REc: Error in Candidate Data Overview

Hi All,
When we try to open the external candidate 'print preview' - Data overview for Candidate is not opening.
we are getting this error only for one candidate in production, rest for all the candidates - data overview is opening fine.
Error is: Error when generating the form for the data overview.
We have checked in SLG1 error are
Table row is larger than 176 cm
The error occurred in program CL_HRRCF_M_DATAOVERVIEW=======CM007 line 92.
Could you please advice.
Regards
BTM

Hello BTM,
as Antje described there is a technical restriction on the maximum length of a field in a SMARTFORM and can't be directly changed. But your issue is not unique. At some time it is found in nearly every eRecruiting system.
The most common case is that a candidate copied his cover letter from MS Word into the eRecruiting application. In some cases layout information and other special characters are transformed into line breaks which causes the text to get very very long. More rarely you find candidates which actually have the urge to write a lot of pages for their cover letter or their work experience. The result is the same in both cases when the system tries to create the SMARTFORM the field exceeds the technical restrictions and you get the generation error.
My standard solution for this is to put a function into my data overviews to truncate texts which have the possibility to have this problem (cover letter, work experience description, education description, other qualifications). I truncate after a defined number of characters or a number of line breaks whatever comes first. I set the values as system parameters / values in a table of delivery type A so a system admin can change them quickly if necessary. Of course you could try to distribute the text to several fields but so far none of my customers thought this was necessary.
Kind Regards
Roman

Date Field Formatting

Hi All,
I'm back already! Learning Flash is beginning to get to me
again so I returned for yet more help!
I've written the following AS code to get tomorrow's date . .
// Calculates today's date and tomorrow's date
var dToday:Date = new Date();
dToday.getDate()
trace("today: " + dToday) //today's date
myD = dToday.getDate() + 100; // plus one day
var dTomorrow:Date = new Date();
dTomorrow.setDate(myD)
trace("new: " + dTomorrow) //tomorrow's date
var strDate:String = new String();
var strDate = String(dTomorrow);
trace("String: " + strDate);
The strDate string returns the following value . . . "Tue Jul
11 16:19:57 GMT+0100 2006".
That is all well and good but I want to convert it into the
following format for comparison with another field . . .
"200607111619" which is basically the same value in the following
format . . . "yyyymmddhhmm".
Does the only way of doing this involve using parsing logic
to break down the original string and then reconstruct it in the
required format using variables from the broken down original
string?
I have tried looking at the Date Field object notes in my
book but it does not give me anything as regards this programming
requirement. The only thing I can find that might suit this purpose
is string parsing logic. Am I right or is there an easier way to
set a date field format?
Any help would as always be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin.

I'm working on an application which requires a valid Voucher
Number to proceed. The Voucher number is based on a combination of
'date/time/no of items' (e.g. 20060711095802 which is today at
09:58 (on a 24 hr clock) for 2 (02) items).
As this date this date/time Voucher Number logic is
essentially sequential, in that each subsequent Voucher Number will
be greater than the last good known Voucher Number entered into the
application (which is already stored in a variable field for
comparison). But it must also be less than tomorrow's date, for
which the Voucher Number would always be tomorrow's date (e.g.
20060712 at 00:00 hrs for 00 items, thus giving 20060712000000).
This is the value that I'm trying to ascertain from the date field
logic.
It would thus be really handy for comparison if I could just
format tomorrow's date and time in the format yyyymmddhhmm and just
add '00' to the end of the string.
I don't like the idea of using the milliseconds value as it
will be necessary then to convert the Voucher Number entered to a
date field for comparison.

How do you add a format to the "Date Picker Format Mask" available formats?

Hi,
When I select the Date Picker Format Mask or "Number / Date Format" they doen't have YYYYMMDD or others that may be desired...
How do you add a format to the available formats?
Thank you, Bill

Bill - From the popup help text:
If you need to create a Date Picker item, but the format you need does not appear in the Display As list, select Date Picker (use application format mask). When an application uses this type of date picker, the Application Express engine derives the date format from an item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK. You can populate this item in two ways:
- By defining an application substitution string named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
- By creating an application-level item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
See the doc for more details.

Convert Epoch Date Time to Date Time format

I am trying to convert Epoch Date time in GMT to Human Readable Date time format in UTC. I used the one below but it returns just the date in GMT but how can get datetime in UTC ?
select To_Char( To_Date( '01.01.1970 06:00:00','DD.MM.YYYY HH24:Mi:Ss') + STARTIME / 86400,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:Mi:ss') FROM HQ_AVAIL_DATA_RLE;
I refered a couple of forums and applied everything, but still I wouldn't get the timestamp.
Please note that i'm looking for datetime stamp, not just the date.
Thanks in advance!
