E-recruiting Job Board Integration using XI

"E-recruiting Job Board Integration using XI"
Hi
We have an SAP backend system ERP 6 complete with e-recruiting module installed. We need to integrate the Job board using XI.
Our XI system is completely basic 7.0 with NO Software Components installed - so completely bare.
Can someone help us in explaining what software components and patchlevels are needed in XI in order to get this up and running. We have followed pdf "E-recruiting Job Board Integration using XI" but this is based upon an existing working XI installation and we only have a bare one. We tried to install the ERECRUIT (600) and HR-XML (2) only, but they fail in that they are missing source structures in the mapping programs.... etc.
So what Software Components would we need to install in the repository in addition to the 2 mentioned above?
Cheers

Hi,
>Our XI system is completely basic 7.0 with NO Software Components installed - so completely bare.
two things:
first one:
if your system has no software components than it means
the installation is not finished yet as you need at least BASIS component
(which is part of the installation steps) to have adapter metadata
second one:
I'd realy suggest asking someone how knows XI to help you
as it seems you want to do an XI project with no XI skills - and
XI skills come in handy in such projects
(at least get a decent - full - installation)

External Job Boards Integration

Hey Friends,
I need to do external job boards integration in e-Recruitment..
Can you explain me the process for integration ??
How the XML document gets generated, some existing standard program or a custom program we need to develop ??
Ok assuming the job board makes use of the XML file and displays the posting information on their site...Suppose we click on "Apply" on that job board site, how does the application information gets linked to our e-Recruitment system ??
Thanks

Hi
in the SAP Library "SAP E-Recruiting" will you find the topics "System Administration", and "Master Data Recruitment". Is this what you are looking for?

External job board integration -- E-Recruiting EhP4

You need SAP XI to integrate with external job boards? I think you can configure it. I did search on SAP Help and SDN , I see no mention.
Can you share the links or your experience. Thanks for the help.

Hello Vishal,
the integration to external job boards can be done using XI, but only very few cutomers use this way. Either they have no XI at all or the projects using XI do not want to let the HR e-rec guys play with it.
Usually you go for some customer development implementing a publisher class creating the data / files for the job boards. The exact implementation depends on the job board and in some cases on the special aggreements how to interchange data.

Integrating with External Job boards

Hello,
I am fairly new to this forum and the posts in here are very informative.
We have been successfully using E-Recruiting 3.0 for over a year and will be soon upgrading to 6.0. Do any of you have any experience in using an aggregator to post to the job boards?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Roman,
With respect to Job Board integration/ Agency integration, i want to know the following:
1. Do we need to write a program to convert the Publication data into XML or is it done by some existing class/program in e-Recruiting ??
2. When we provide the XML document to the Job Board, how is it linked to our e-Recruiting portal ??
Actually the picture is very much unclear in this aspect...
3. Suppose the Agency wants to perform a particular activity say, passport verification, how can that be integrated on the Agency page ?? Will that be a custom development or it can be done using standard ??
For the above questions, if you have any help docs, please forward it to me at my following gmail id shashumacher16. Could not write the mail address together cos of SDN check
Thanks.

E-Recruiting job posting XML

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any standard programs or solution to collect the job posting in e-Recruitiing.
I would like to collect all the job posting and send and XML with the data via HTTP to an external application.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks.

hello Eduardo,
as far as I know for using the XI solution for publishing e-recruiting postings you need to do the following steps:
First of all, if not already done, you should contact the different Job Boards to provide their XML requirements.
For XI there is an extra installation / addon package which contains the XI e-recruiting structures. I am not really sure about the name but it should be found in the servie marketplace.
Then you have to link the XI server to the E-recruiting server. That means doing all the Admin stuff which is not e-recruting specific.
In the e-recruting system you define posting channels for the Jobboards. I prefere having one per Jobboard. You do that via IMG -> SAP E-Recruiting -> Recruitment -> Req. Management -> Job Posting -> Define Posting Channels. In the channel you use class CL_HRRCF_PUBLISHER_XI as publishing class.
Then you have to activate the periodical service PUBLICATION_VIA_XI within the technical settings of the e-recruting customizing. The service itself should already defined.
Then you have to restart the periodical service job in SM36/SM37 so it really runs the new service.
From there on the Posting data should be transfered to the XI system where you can create the transformation s to get the data into the format th Jobboards require.
You might also have a look on the SLG1 if something is not set up properly the periodical service should write an entry there. Furthermore you can check table T77RCF_XI_PUB. This is the publisher table for the XI. You can see which posting instances wait for publishing, which are published and which are withdrawn.
I hope that helps you in configuration.
Rgds.

E-Recruiting Job Posting Text

Hello,
We are using E-Recruiting 6.0 Release 603 (EhP3 has not yet been activated)
Is it possible to convert non ASCII characters into ASCII characters when copying and pasting text from MS Word into an E-Recruiting job posting? We have found that many external job boards do not support many of the characters found in MS Word. This causes junk characters to appear in some of our job postings, e.g. apostrophes, accented letters (é), bullets, etc. Frequently we will just copy and paste text from MS Word into E-Recruiting.
Where I can find more information relating to control over formatting and character types for job posting text in E-Recruiting?
Has anyone else experience these issues? How did you resolve them?
Thanks!
Ryan

Hello Ryan,
copying texts from Word into the posting texts is in fact even more tricky than you so far experienced - Surprise, Suprise!
In addition to the issue with external job boards copying texts directly into the posting texts can transfer non printable characters which prevent the posting from being indexed in the TREX search engine. As a result this posting will not be found in the standard e-recruiting job search without any error shown in the sap e-recruiting system. Took me some days to find this as the character was displayed as SPACE in the ui. As a general recommendation I request end users to at least copy a word text to notepad first and than copy from there to e-recruiting to get rid of at least the most non printable characters.
Next to this solution I'd like to ask what you want to achieve. You could always try some modification to prevent the system if wrong characters are entered or at least displays a warning if they are saved - a direct transformation would be possible with EhP4 in a BAdI for posting texts which could be misused for this requirement. You could also let the system send you a mail by a workflow if a posting with such letters is released. So you could avoid modification. Or you could build a customer publisher for the jobboard which transforms the letters assuming you can define a sufficient replacment algorithm. Overall I recommend an implementation with a positive list of allowed characters as you can never know which characters will appear (I use such things in my BW transformations).
If you give some additional information we could work on a more detailed solution.
Best Regards
Roman

Re-Publishing a publication to a job board

Hi,
Our solution uses various publisher channles (IF_HRRCF_PUBLISHER).
Jobs are posted to the job board via XI.
Rather than editing a published job directly on a job board we have a requirement for re publishing jobs.
- on change of any of the underlying infotypes we need to create a new entry for the existing job in T77RCF_XI_PUB, this will then be picked up by the scheduled job for XI posting.
In theory we would like to reset the status HRP5122-STATUS to 'Draft', make the changes and then set the STATUS to 'Released'. I think it may not be that easy because of other posting statuses.
If anyone has done this successfully with minimum fuss, please let me know.
cheers

Exactly what i wanted
IF_HRRCF_PUBLISHER=>REPUBLISH_REQUIRED
Thanks

SQL Agent Job failing - not using credentials in the config file for Data source

Hi
We have an SSIS pkg, that is secheduled as SQL Agent job using proxy account. The pkg contanins data source for connecting different SQL servers and the proxy account do not have access to the external DBs. The data source credentials are stored in the Config

Why the job is not using the credentials in the config file and try to use the proxy account and failing.
Do the proxy account need access to all the external dbs in the pkg, and then what is the purpose of the config file.
I am sorry, i am not SSIS person trying to understand. If any one can explain tha will be great!!

EREC - SAP to any Job-board ... XML

Hello Everyone,
           I have created posting channels for the Job-boards below in IMG.
E.g. 9991 - Indeed.com   CL_HRRCF_PUBLISHER_EXT   External
       9992 - Dice.com     CL_HRRCF_PUBLISHER_EXT   External
Also, there is already an entry for table T77RCF_PS_SERV - Periodic Services i.e.
CREATE_SP_FOR_EXT_POSTINGS       CL_HRRCF_SPB_POST_REQ_EXT_PUB
Now I will have to schedule the program RCF_PERIODICAL_SERVICES to run every X minutes. ( we can also change service rules in view if we want in T77RCF_PS_RULES).
Question - Now what I have to do with XML , do I need to create Transformation in t-code STRANS/ SE80? OR I need to do SOAP calls OR Web service?
Also, Can we enhanced posting WD4A to give options ( Publish/Withdraw) with any job board?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Saquib

I just took a brief look, but I think the CL_HRRCF_SPB_POST_REQ_EXT_PUB class is related to searching for external postings, and not so much sending them to 3rd party sites. If you look at the CL_HRRCF_PUBLISH_XI_PUB class, it implements the IF_HRRCF_INTERFACE interface, which gives it the RUN method. This is in turn called every X minutes when the period services run.
Additionally, I believe you need to create your own classes for each job posting channel. These classes need to implement the IF_HRRCF_PUBLISHER interface, which give it several methods which are called at various times. If you look at CL_HRRCF_PUBLISHER_XI method PUBLISH, you see that it basically inserts an entry into the t77rcf_xi_pub table, which is basically a storage area that lets XI know what needs to get published, when it got published, publication dates, etc. Additionally, there are methods that control whether or not that publication channel is selectable as a hot job, whether you can edit it, withdraw it, etc.
In the past, I basically have just copied these classes, and then made them fit my own needs, and assign them in the appropriate steps in the IMG.

How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the ......

How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the exisisting programs

Hi
1. The ALV Grid Control is a tool with which you can output non-hierarchical lists in a
standardized format. The list data is displayed as a table on the screen.
The ALV Grid Control offers a range of interactive standard list functions that users need
frequently (find, sort, filter, calculate totals and subtotals, print, print preview, send list,
export list (in different formats), and so on. These functions are implemented in the
proxy object class. You as the programmer have the possibility to turn off functions not
needed. In most cases the implementations of the standard functions provided by the
control are sufficient. However, if required, you can adjust these implementations to
meet application-specific needs.
You can add self-defined functions to the toolbar, if necessary.
The ALV Grid Control allows users to adjust the layout of lists to meet their individual
requirements (for example, they can swap columns, hide columns, set filters for the
data to be displayed, calculate totals, and so on). The settings (list customizing) made
by a specific user are called a display variant. Display variants can be saved on a userspecific
or on a global basis. If such display variants exist for a list, they can be offered
to the user for selection. If a display variant is set as the default variant, the associated
list is always displayed based on the settings of this variant.
2. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
3. Use of Field Catalog is to determines the technical properties & add formating information of the column.
6. all the definition of internal table, structure, constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
7.fieldcat-fieldname
fieldcat-ref_fieldname
fieldcat-tabname
fieldcat-seltext_m
5. Form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
<b>The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;</b>
1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
Purpose of the above Functions are differ not all the functions are required in all the ALV Report.
But either no.7 or No.8 is there in the Program.
<b>
How you call this function in your report?</b>
After completion of all the data fetching from the database and append this data into an Internal Table. say I_ITAB.
Then use follwing function module.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = 'Prog.name'
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'I_ITAB'
I_DEFAULT = 'X'
I_SAVE = 'A'
TABLES
T_OUTTAB = I_ITAB.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
ENDIF.
ENDFORM. " GET_FINAL_DATA
The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70. Each of the
activities 01, 02 and 70 controls the availability of particular
functions (in the menu and the toolbar) of the ALV line item list:
a) 01: "Settings -> Display variant -> Save..."
b) 02: "Settings -> Display variant -> Current..." and
"Settings -> Display variant -> Current header rows "
c) 70: "Settings -> Display variant -> Administration..."
Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
most restricted one: The user can only select layouts which have
been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
named above are inactive with activity 03.
Now if you want to permit a user to change the column selection and
the headers as well as to save the layout thus created, for example,
but if you do not want to permit the user to administrate the
layouts, you grant him or her the authorization for activities 01
and 02.

SEEBURGER integration using PI: BIS, BIC, AS2 Adapter, FTP ?

Hi All,
we are exploring on EDI project, where sap ecc is integrated with an seeburger edi partner via PI.
the integration involves: EDI ANSI X12 documents like 850, 855, and UN/EDIFACT documents like DESADV
for this while searching, i came across:
1. the wiki content created by Prateek Raj Srivastava, http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SeeburgerSuiteforSAPPI
2. a presentation by sam raju http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00f9cdf5-d812-2a10-03b4-aff3bbf792bf?QuickLink=events&overridelayout=true
I was trying to find out, what all we need in PI..
in PI, what type of communication channel can be used,
can we use FTP adapter, that is comes by default in PI.
or is it necessary to buy something (adapter or content) from SEEBURGER.
after searching little more on seeburger front, got to know that there are:
BIS (Business Integration Server)
BIC (Business integration Converter)
AS2 adapter.
is BIC is an adapter, that we can select as adapter type, while creating the communication channel.
the presentation by sam raju, describes "Configuring BIC as Module", if BIS is configured as a module, what is the type of communication channel in ID.
is AS2 adapter is part of BIS or BIC.
for integration using PI, out of BIS, BIC, AS2, what all is minumum required?
what are the roles of BIS, BIC and AS2 in the context of integration using PI.
thanks in advance.
Madhu_1980

>>in PI, what type of communication channel can be used,
Any. Using Seeburger Adapter for EDI communication is not mandatory.
>>can we use FTP adapter, that is comes by default in PI.
Yes, you can use it to send even EDI files.
>>or is it necessary to buy something (adapter or content) from SEEBURGER
To convert EDI-xml file to EDI, you have to use Seeburger BIC module which has to be purchased.
>>is BIC is an adapter, that we can select as adapter type, while creating the communication channel.
No, it is an adapter module.
>> BIS is configured as a module, what is the type of communication channel in ID.
Don't get confused between BIC and BIS. BIC is a module and BIS is a separate middleware provided by Seeburger just like PI. You can use BIC module in any channel which supports use of adapter module.
>>is AS2 adapter is part of BIS or BIC.
AS2 can come with BIS middleware. It is type of adapter while BIC is module.
>>for integration using PI, out of BIS, BIC, AS2, what all is minumum required?
For EDI communication, BIC is required (if you don't want to create your own modules). AS2 is required only when some partner demands the use of AS2 protocol for communication.
>>what are the roles of BIS, BIC and AS2 in the context of integration using PI.
Already explained. Forget BIS when you already have PI.
