ECM question

We are using the Enterprise Compensation Management (ECC 5.0) and I am not able to get the defualt guidelines when running the report by transaction PECM_CREATE_COMP_PRO.
I have set the Eligibility and Guidelines correctly as I am able to do thru PA30 for the same group of employees.
Any help from those who have implemented ECM, is greatly appreciated. Also one important thing is we are imlementing ECM without MSS.
Thanks

Hi Suresh,
We have used the BADI for Elgibility Grouping but for guideline I am just going by the feature with "ALL". When I run the report, I am getting a warning message as
"No Guideline defaults found for Selected employees" and not getting the 759 records created in "In Process" stage. I have given the defualt percentage in the Define Guideline without using any matrix.
When I am doing the create 0759 thru' PA30, I am able to use the "Apply the guideline" button but it is not taking while running the report by tcode PECM_CREATE_COMP_PRO.
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance!

Integrate with SES: connector approach or embedded search approach

hi Experts:
According to the document, we have 2 options to integrate ECM11g with SES11g:
* SES connector approach
* embedded search approach
My customer needs to use a unified search engine to search ECM, internal web and file system, so SES should be used with ECM, question is which approach should be taken, what is the difference?
Best regards

Hi
SES connector approach
In this case SES and UCM have different DB schemas and for SES to search contents of UCM the feeds are created by SES Crawler Export component and placed in SES home location for it to read . It is a 2 stage approach viz 1. UCM creating the feeds 2. SES Crawling the feeds so that search can retrieve results .
Embedded search approach :
With this UCM schema is the same as SES one so that SES acts as the search indexer engine for UCM . Moment contents are checked in to UCM indexes are created on the common DB schema so that SES can directly search / display the contents from UCM .
In my view you should go for Embedded SES Search engine approach.
Thanks

Question about ECM

Hi all,
I'm working on a project about ECM.
I'm completely new about the subject ....
In particular, I am looking for the documentation for customizing to the portal, can someone help me?
The portal part of ECM technology is based on what?
Java Web Dynpro, BSP or other?
Thank you all in advance.

hi,
ECM on the portal side is handled mostly in MSS. There is a big difference between MSS business package 1.0 and 1.41.
For BP 1.0 ECC 6.0 is sufficient but for BP1.41 ECC 6.0 EP4 is required. iViews are mostly WD Java. Find the link for MSS BP 1.41 and ECM in general.

Thanks,

Hi,
Adding on to Paulu2019s inputs, you must run report u201CDisplay Compensation Planning Progressu201D (RHECM_DISPLAY_PROGRESS). From SAP help:
Upon execution, this report evaluates the contents of the Process History table (T71ADM_PROCESS) for the selected organizational unit(s) during that compensation review, then displays the contents of that table in the report output.

Hope this helps.

Multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server

I've read a few posts about installing multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server, but I have a few questions. My current set up is
A single Windows 2008 Server R2 server
8 gb RAM
Weblogic 10.3.5
1 install of ECM 11g in the base_domain
Database is Oracle 11.2
I want to add another instance of ECM to this server, but when I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected? I'm fine with using a different prefix, I just was surprised to see that I couldn't use the same prefix on this install since I was using a completely different database.
Assuming I use a different prefix... do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?
Thank you

I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected?Yes. It will create tables with the same name visible for a different database user (thus, the prefix).
do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?Actually, I think you can even install more instances to the same domain (this is more a question to Weblogic Server admins - I think there's been some posts recently on this topic). What definitely must be unique, is the port number. If you are OK with using different port numbers for your instances, it should be relatively easy. If you need the same port (e.g. 80 because of proxy limits), there are some ways how to redirect - it that case, two domains might be required.

Need Suggestion on ECM application of Manager Self-Service Role

Hi All,
In ECM application When manager select an employee working under him and click on "Plan" button, it will display a page with some information in the table.The column of this table is configured in backend using SPRO t-code.Now requirement is to add one column to the table and button with name "Promotion" on this page.but the problem is "promotion"column and button will be visible for some users only and for other users, column and button should not visible.(ex differentiate the users who logged on to portal by secter wise)
As per the SAP delivered ECM code, now only the Personnel number of employee under manager is passing from portal to standard RFC when manger select the personal number working underhim and click on "Plan" button and it will display the page where information are shown in table usng OADP configuration.
Can you please provide the suggestion how the below requirement is feasible or not and if feasible how we will achieve:
When user try to access the ECM page and click on "Plan' button, based on portal user id (wherher he belongs to some sector) it will display the next page with "Promotion" column and button.(NOTE:On Action Plan button , it will navigate to the page where details of employee will be shown who is woring under manager.Along this information we need Promotion column and button should be visible for some portal user id who belongs to ""XYZ" sector)
Let me know if you need more clarification
Thanks

Hi,
You just phrased my question in your words. All hooks are listed in hr_api_hooks table, each one with before and after methods.
Now how to determine, which hook is being called by which front-end process? For example, there are three different hooks - for Appraisal, Appraisal Template and Appraisal Period.
How to determine which one is called for my purpose, say validating before appraisal record is created.
This is just an example. There are number of processess related to assignment change. Using trial and error method will take long time and may be unreliable result in determining actual hook.
So, has any prepared a list of hooks to be used against each front-end process? Or has Oracle provides with any such document?
This is highly likely if one is involved in such work area.

ECM project, what to do with MSS? Please guide me what to do?

Hello Everyone,
I have set myself a goal to learn and implement ECM at my company by myself. I have started reading very informative documents posted on my old friend/colleague u201CKevin Nguyen-Tu u201Cwebsite. Kev, you are doing great man. I have your email, will write you sometime in details.
Here is the deal, my company is running ESS and we are using bunch of services. In order to implement ECM, I need to have MSS? right ?If so, what is the minimum thing I can do so I can spend more time reading and configuring ECM then MSS?
Please share your experiences, thoughts, suggestion that how should I proceed. I set myself a target of one year. We are running some other application and bunch of excel sheets to do that all stuff and compensating employees. I want to prepare a demo, so I can show it to management and tell them that what SAP ECM can do.
I also set my eyes on following book about ECM releasing in October 2008.
http://www.sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H2961
I also look at HR540, but it doesnu2019t seem like good one.

If u agree [this|General administration in sap; is the right way to answer a question for someone who is equally lost like you...
Then my answer to this question of urs wld be
to quote ur own words
"donot know , but I can tell you one thing . I`d go to t-code SPRO cross my fingers and find it there ..." as everything is indeed there.
Friend Saquib,Sometime i understand people ask questions which are well..what can i say..we see all kinds of posts in here..
but our role here is to guide as much as possible..or atleast redirect them to other links..or even pose questions in return asking for more detailed explaination..coz sometimes people even dont know what they need exactly..
so pls abstain for giving such reponses,especially while still being in same boat.

ECM-Problem with Change number in CS01 and CS02 Transactions

Hi Experts,
I am creating or changing BOM's using above transactions. I am entering the change number while creation and changing the BOM to track the changes.Here my problem is these transactions are not validating the ECM number.
If you enter any value in the change number filed system is allowing me to create a BOM.
I am assuming that becasue of patches applied to system,I am getting this.
kindly help me out on this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rakesh J
Edited by: J.Rakesh on Apr 22, 2009 10:26 PM

Dear Mangalraj,
Thanks for your reply.
We are not using CC01 transaction to create Change number. Z transaction is there to create change number.
My change number contain alpha numreic charectors Eg : 341793ABCXYZ
Yes, in CS01 system is accepeting any value that we enter :Eg: asddfgh. The value is not there in AENR table.
I observed one thing If I am going to chnage a material using MM02, there its not accepeting any value,its accepeting the values which are there in AENR table otherwise its giving error :Change Number XXXXXXXX does not exist.
My question is same thing should function in CS01 and CS02, why its not happening for these transactions.

Additional Columns in ECM - Compensation Planning view

Hello
We have a requirement to hide some columns in MSS Compensation Planning view.
I know that this column framework can be configured using OADP.
But my issue is that, we wanted to hide the specific columns (like Amount) only for one compensation plan and not other plans (all these plans are in the same category "Additional payments").
Can the column framework be made Compensation Plan specific?
Could anybody suggest me?
Thank you & Regards
Raghu Kolukuluri

Hi Saurabh,
I have similar requirement for ECM implementation that for a specific comp plan I want to display two columns otherwise not. You mentioned that you could achieve it via OADP; however I can't find any linkage between the comp plan and data view.
I can see standard data views (following and more)
MSS_ECM_APR_BON     Approval: Bonus
MSS_ECM_PLA_BON     Planning: Bonus
MSS_ECM_REV_BON     Planning: Bonus (Review)
And I believe If I change the view for MSS_ECM_*_BON; it will affect all the views related to bonus plans. I was able to add 2 columns there too.
Now question is -- Is it possible to give drop-down values to one of these columns ? e.g. my column is Status and I want to allow only 5 statuses, can I bring the drop-down in the portal without any WDJ application change ? I'd like to achieve it via config if possible.
At the column definition/config level in SPRO, I can see following:
Convers. Rout.
FM for Column Contents
FM from Column Framework
Service Key
Can I use any of these to achieve such drop-down?
Please let me know if you have any clue.
Thank you

BOM Validity Using ECM

Hello All,
We are currently reviewing the ECM functionality to assistn in BOM validity maintenance. I have made the necessary changes in SPRO to activate this functionality. My initial testing utilizing the Change Master and associating it with the BOM works fine. However, the question I had was more around having to make retroactive changes. I noticed that the system using the Entered or Created date from the transaction to determine the BOM validity. Is there anyway to influence the BOM validiy to look at document dateof the transaction instead of entered date? Has anyone run into this type of issue before?
Thanks for your help.
Gus

Dear Sir,
That is what I have done for a material.
Apart from making Routing again after deleting the BOM, do I need to take care of any other thing?
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit.

ECM Change no Mandatory for CS02

Dear all,
To make the ECM change no mandatory for CS01 and CS02 i have followed the below settings.
1.In OS27 - Check box included for BOM validity maintained,EC Management active,History Requirement.
2.In OS25 - BOM usage 1 & BOM status 1 - History Requirement check box is included.
3.Authorization object C_STUE_NOH is with No.
After making these changes and saving and assigning the same to that user id,logout and login.
It is working properly for CS01 but for CS02 even waring message it is not giving, directly it is allowing to chage the BOM without change no.
Can any one suggest what may be the issue or any other settings i am missing?
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh

Dear all,
I noticed one issue if the BOM is alraedy created without the change number, when i try to change that BOM it is not throwing error message as Change no. mandatory.
For that same BOM if i assign with one change no and make the necessary change and saved.
After this change it is not allowing me to change the BOM without change no.
My question is all materials BOM are already created in the system, so the user try to change the BOM in CS02 as first time without the change no it allows.
How can we restrict the user to change the BOM with change no only?
I hope my question is clear.
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh

BOM Validity-ECM

Hi Gurus,
How to configure BOM validity from to to date ?
Before posing this question, I have gone through the threads in SDN.
As said, I tried to create BOM with ECM. Valid till date is not changing.
BOM-1 valid from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.9999 with ECM No
BOM-2 valid from 01.07.2008 to 31.12.9999 with ECM No
As per the configuration, BOM-1 must be valid till 30.06.2008 and in display mode dates must be 01.01.2008 to 30.06.2008.
regards
Ram Kumar

Hi Ram,
This is not possible in Standard SAP.
Eevry time the Vaild to will be 31.12.9999 (this is system setting).
This is valid if you use ECM or Not.
But, will ECM you can control this..
With Revision level concept you can control the BOM explosion also..

Siva

ECM Plan with no budget, planning, or approval for hourly union employees

We are implementing Enterprise Compensation Management at my company. We are on 6.0 Ehp5. One of our requirements is for a General Increase Plan (Salary Adjustment) for union employees. There is no approval process for this plan. Once top leadership has approved the increase (outside of SAP) every eligible employeeu2019s base pay is increased by the same percentage. Also, this group of employees has fixed pay per job. We use table T510 to store their pay scales and levels. So we normally increase the values in T510 by the approved percentage and then create new IT0008 via mass upload.
Since we are implementing ECM and want this plan to be administered through ECM, my question is about how that should work. I was thinking that we would use PECM_CREATE_COMP_PRO to create the Compensation Process record and bring to the minimum. I am not sure if this transaction looks at T510 or just T710 or the Planned Compensation (HRP1005). I assume we would then use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to change the status to u201CApprovedu201D (not sure if the IT0759 has to be in Appoved status before being activated). Lastly we would use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to Activate the Compensation Process infotypes. Does this sound like the way to handle a plan where every eligible employee gets the same % increase or do you know of a best practice you could share?

Hi Vishal,
Nice to see your reply, i am having SAP_ALL permissions in the backend system, my user id was attached to employee, that employee is top level manager, i am able to see employees successfully in MSS 600 Compensation Approval WebDynpro JAVA application for Approval and Rejection, but i am not able to see employeed in MSS 604 (EHP4) Review Planning(Compensation Approval) WebDynpro ABAP application.
When i am trying to execute that application even i am not able to see any errors, the screen looks fine, only in the table it displays " table does not contain data"
If you have any idea please help me on this one.
Thanks in Advance.

Babu.

MSS ECM - how to retrieve custom OADP column in Webdynpro java application

Great day to all,
We have created custom OADP column for MSS ECM planning in SPRO.
In Portal, ECM Plan Table, the column is visible. User enters values into that and toggles the tabstrip.
Before submitting, i need to capture that value in Webdynpro java.
My Question is,
How can i make use of that column in my ECM Application using webdynpro java??
or how can i retrieve the custom OADP columns in webdynpro java with out using RFC??
Need ur great help... thanks alot in advance...
Thanks
Malla

In OADP ,there are two types of columns , functional column which cannot be edited in web dynpro java application and another type is application column which can be edited in application and the value of this column is handled in application using rfc enabled function module. MSS ECM comes with certain application column whose values are handled in MSS-ECM application . If you are trying to add custom application column you will have to handle that column value in your Z function module and also at OADP level you should not configure supply function for that column.
In order to call custom Z function module to handle custom application column I would suggest to create a seperate Software component and development component and in that handle the logic for calling Z Function module. Also you will have to define the usage of custom Development component in the MES-ECM standard component.
