Employee search : Infoset query

Hi All,
We are trying to configure the employee search in ESS. We have requirement in order to display the Position, date of entry into the position (start date), or when the employee got promoted into that position.
As default, ESS displays the position for each of the respective employees search results. We have explored the option Who's Who (ESS): Selection and Output in spro and this is an infoset query submitted to Employee search service resulting the appropriate fields in Portal.
I am finding difficult in order to display the date of entry into respective positions ie what would be the technical name (field) to be passed to this infoset query.
Thanks in advance.

Thnx for your valuable inputs pooja.
As suggested, I have tried to create a query in standard Infoset HR_XX_PA_ESS. However, it doesn't allow me to do it. Even I have tried with ABAP client with all of the developer rights.
I have created a Z-copy of that standard infoset, then it allowed me to create query field in that Z-infoset. But, how can I refer this customized query from this Z-Infoset to Who's who selection output screen (PZ01C).
Please share your experiences.
Regards,
Anil Kumar

How to restrict f4 help values in select options of Employee Search

Hi,
I am using HRASR_EMPLOYEE_SEARCH for employee search and created a new query ,infoset , usergroup which is responsible to fetch the selection criteria and result.I have one field in the search criteria as Cost Center which is connected to P0001-KOSTL.f4 help for that field fetches all the values(Local cost center,starts with M and Global Cost Center,starts with G)
I want to filter out the f4 values in WDA so that it can fetch values only starts with G
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Hi Bala,
Do you mean to say that when the user gets the OVS popup he should be able to use wildcard characters like G* in there? If thats your requirement then thats quite possible. You can do this within the phase 2 of the OVS. You first read the values that were entered by the user in the restriction screen by saying something like:
assign ovs_callback_object->query_parameters->* to <ls_query_params>.
You then fetch the desired attribute into a local variable like:
lv_matnr = <ls_query_params>-matnr.
Then you can say like:
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN lv_matnr WITH '%' .
SELECT <your fields> FROM <table> INTO TABLE lt_select_list WHERE MATNR LIKE lv_matnr.
Hope that this is clear for you now. You can also try go through this [full example|http://****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/OVS/page1.htm] where they have explained the same concept using step-by-step screenshots.

Who's Who: How to refine employee search using customer defined indicator?

Hello,
It is possible to refine employee search using status indicator STAT2 (Employees' Employment Status). I would like to refine employee search using e.g. Customer defined status indicator STAT1. I created an entry identical to STAT2 but with STAT1
in view V_T77S0 but it did not help at all.
How to refine employee search using customer defined indicator or any other info
from infotype 0000 or 0001?
Kind regards,
Pawel

Hi
This could be done using the infosets provided in who's who customization screen.
Pl go through following help.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Who's Who (ESS): Selection and Output
In this activity, you can change the fields for selecting and outputting data for the Who's Who service. The fields of the underlying InfoSet Query are available. Note, however, that text fields cannot be used for data selection (with the exception of the fields Organizational Unit, Position Name, and Job Name).
You have the following options:
You can specify the fields for selecting an employee.
You can specify the fields for the hitlist, that is, the list of all employees who meet the selection criteria.
You can specify the fields for the detail screen for a selected employee.
All selected fields are automatically transferred to the service in the sequence you chose and are then available for selection or output.
Standard settings
The standard system contains an InfoSet for the service. It contains default selection and output fields.
Activities
1. Check whether the default settings fulfill your requirements.
2. If you want to change the default values, proceed as follows:
a) Choose the relevant tab page and remove the indicator in the Use default settings for group box.
To change the selection fields, choose the Selection Fields tab page.
To change the fields of the hitlist, choose the Output Fields List tab page.
To change the fields of the detail screen, choose the Output Fields Detail tab page.
b) If you want to delete a default field, select the field in the relevant tab page and choose Delete Line from Display Table.
c) If you want to add an additional field from the InfoSet, select the field in the Fields in InfoSet group box and choose Copy Entry from InfoSet Table. You have two options:
You select an existing field in the tab page and choose Insert Entry in Display Table. The system copies the InfoSet field and inserts it above the selected entry.
You select the blank field at the end of the tab page and choose Insert Entry in Display Table. The system copies the InfoSet field and inserts it at the end of the tab page.
Note that the sequence of the fields in the tab page determines the sequence of the fields in the service.
The selection screen fields are laid out according to the following pattern (maximum of 4 rows and 20 fields):
1 I 2 I 3 I13 I17
4 I 5 I 6 I14 I18
7 I 8 I 9 I15 I19
10 I11 I12 I16 I20
The fields in the detail screen are laid out underneath each other for a maximum of 20 rows, while the fields in the hitlist are laid out from left to right for each row, for a maximum of 20 fields.
Note: You cannot select by the Employment Status field (P0000-STAT2).
d) If you want to add a new field that is not in the InfoSet, you have to create a new InfoSet. You then assign the required field to the new InfoSet. Then select the new InfoSet in the InfoSet field in the Parameters group box. Proceed as described above to add the field to the relevant tab page.
For information about creating InfoSets, see Specify InfoSets for Interactive Employee Selection in the IMG for the HR Information System.
Not the SAP naming convention for the standard InfoSet: /SAPQUERY/HR_XX_PA_ESS
The country code "XX" stands for "international." The InfoSet itself is in the global area (cross-client). You can create customer-specific InfoSets by copying an existing entry. Take account of your customer namespace and set the relevant country code.
Note: The Personnel Number field (P0000-PERNR) must not be added to the InfoSet. If you want to use the personnel number, use the P0001-PERNR field, for example.
e) In the Sort field of the Output Fields List tab page, you can specify the sort sequence in the hitlist.
Example: You have selected the Last Name and First Name fields for the hitlist. You want the hits to be sorted first of all by the employees' last name, then by the first name. You therefore enter 1 for the last name and 2 for the first name in the Sort field.
f) Once you have completed your modifications, choose Check Display Table. If the check was successful, choose Save to save your changes. If inconsistencies were found during the check, a message in the relevant line notifies you of them.
Further notes
In certain circumstances, runtime issues may occur, especially in data selection. If they do, set the Selection Fields indicator in the Use Default Settings for group box. This deactivates the use of the InfoSet Query; instead, the system uses the BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA method.
You can switch the hitlist and the detail screen to the BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA method by setting the Output Fields List and Output Fields Detail indicators.
Note that by setting an indicator, you restrict the field selection in the relevant tab page to the interface of the method.
If, in the initial screen, you enter a country for which values have not yet been defined, the system automatically creates an entry that sets all indicators in the Use default settings for group box. You can then edit the entry to suit your requirements.
You can specify whether you want employees' photos to be displayed in the service in the IMG for Employee Self-Service under Determine User Options.

Error while running OA framework Employee search page

Hi All,
I am new to OA framework.I am trying to create a simple search page on EMP table and DEPT table in SCOTT schema.I have defined EMP and DEPT EO's and VO too.I have also defined association object.When I am trying to run Employee search page it is throwing following error:
"Error(13,8): class chola.oracle.apps.fnd.schema.server.DepartmentEOImpl should be declared abstract; it does not define method setLastUpdateLogin(oracle.jbo.domain.Number) in class oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OAEntityImpl"
What I understand from this error is that since my EMP table in Scott schema is not having Last update columns so Jdeveloper did not generate LastUpdateLogin method.Am I correct?If I am correct then it means that I cannot query on any table which does not have WHO columns like Last Update time,Last updated By etc... but that should not be the case.
Can you please guide me where am I going wrong?
Regards

First of all if you dont want to save data then why you have created EO.
For Search Page, only by creating VO you can achieve the functionality. As you VO is based on EO that why it is giving error.
Thanks

Runtime error while executing infoset query

Dear Experts,
When we execute infoset query we get following dump :"
" An SQL error occurred when accessing a table."
Database error text........: "ORA-25153: Temporary Tablespace is Empty"
Internal call code.........: "[RSQL/FTCH/EBAN ]"
Please check the entries in the system log (Transaction SM21).
You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
use the following search criteria:
"DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR" CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DBC
"/1BCDWB/SAPLIQG000000000015" or "/1BCDWB/LIQG000000000015U02"
"/1BCDWB/IQG000000000015EXTR"
can any one hve idea about the above error.

Hi Jaspal
Looks like a BASIS issue.
Check with BASIS, they need to regularly monitor the tablespace and file system, at OS level

MSS Employee Search results

Hi All,
        Just wondering if any one knew if the standard delivered MSS > Team > General Information > Employee Search (a.k.a OADP) shows separated/withdrawn/terminated employees as part of search results. I just separated a couple of employees in our development environment with PA40 only to find out that they are still showing up under direct repots.
        If this is indeed a standard behavior is there any way to filter the search results to display only active employees without having to customize OADP configuration?
Thanks,
Winston

you can do so in ESS STAT2 settings in table T77S0
ie
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Personnel Management > Employee
Self-Service > Service-Specific Settings > Address Book > Who's Who >
Who's Who (ESS): Refine Employee Search
If you wanted to restrict the search to all active employees, you would
need the next entry on table T77S0: ESS STAT2 3
You can get further information about Organization Chart iview on the
next link:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/69acffed1b30f3e1000000
0a11466f/frameset.htm
. The Function
module      HRXSS_ORG_GET_ORGCHAR intern calls Function module
     EVAL_INITIA which filters and select the per.nos and send to the
front end; and same list is being displayed ; and also the search query
/SAPQUERY/HR_XX_PA_ESS also plays an important role.

Infoset Query based on 0023 IT

Hi,
I have created one infoset query for infotype 0023. When I am executing this report for all the employees I can see the records. But if I select just one employee only blank fields are coming.
Samriddhi

Hi,
That employee has four records on 0023 infotype.
And I have checked with both Reporting periods All and Past(until today).
But still one record is coming that too blank although employee has four records.
1st record (01.06.2000 - 21.12.2002)
2nd record (01.12.1996 - 01.06.2000)
3rd record (01.04.1991 - 01.08.1996)
4th record (01.061989 - 01.03.1991)
Then I created one more record from the date 01.09.2008(start date in the present company) to
31.12.9999.
When I am executing the Adhoc Query I am getting only this last record. In selection I have choosen personnel number of that employee.
But if in the selection field I didn't choose any personnel number it will show all the records of all employee.

Custom Field in Infoset Query missing in Infoset

Hi Everyone,
I'm in a puzzle and I hope someone can help me. Basically I need to maintain an existing infoset Query - While looking through the query and it's related Infoset I noticed there is a custom field appearing in the query (SQ01) but this field is nowhere to be seen in the Infoset (SQ02) - I'm just wondering how can this be ?
The same custom field exists in another Infoset - is it therefore possible to build a query using an infoset while pulling in fields from another ?
I would appreciate any thoughts on this matter as I'm in a very confused way over this.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Damien
Edited by: Damien Kesle on Jul 22, 2009 3:48 PM

Hi Damien Kesle ,
There are ways by which you can create fields ( they are called Local fields ) in the Query too.
Please see , whether the custom field you are asking is present in the Query.
Even then , just to confirm that your said field does not exist in the infoset, follow the steps.
Go to SQ02, put the name of your Infoset and click on tab "Description ".
Then do a Ctrl + F (Find/Search) for the field. If its not there, then you can confirm that the field comes from Query and not Infoset.
Approach for any further queries.

What is an infoset and infoset query?

hello can anyone tell me about
infoset and infoset query.

Infoset is based on Joins. Infocube, DSO and infoobject can be used to make infoset.
How to Create Infoset Query (SAP Query)
Steps on how to proceed to create a Query:
ADHOC QUERY
A query can be created to extract information from master records i.e Infotypes. For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
Proceedure :
Decide on the various Infotypes we want to make the query. Decide on the area where we want to query i.e Global area or Standard area. Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
Menu : HR PM Admn - Information System - Adhoc Query
Select area standard and select the user group already created
Creation of new query :
TC SQ03 - Select Environment Select Standard Area - Enter -- If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and exit after saving
TC SQ02 - Enter name of the Infoset Create enter name of Infoset - Data source -- > Table join by basis table give name of table e.g pa0000 - Enter - Click on insert table if we want to include more tables give name of table one by one and after finishing, place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships - check - and go back - field groups - include all table fields - click on generate button   - go out
TC SQ03 - Select user group -   eg. Payroll
Infoset - Enter name of newly created Infoset
Assign users and Infosets - Assign infosets - put tick on payroll - save and go back
TC PAAH - Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
Save the query by giving the same name as infoset for easyness.
If this answer helps, pls assign points.
Thanx in advance.

InfoSet query results confusion...

HI All,
We have 2 ODS. One is Billing and the other is Project Sales. In the billing ODS we have billing documents that have the billing date (calmonth) and employee. The projected sales is an ODS that has for each employee for each month, their Projected Sales.
We have created an InfoSet and linked in the billing ODS the calmonth (in billing) to period field (in Projected Sales) and 0SALESEMPLOYEE (in billing) to PERNR (in Projected) ODS.
The Projected Sales ODS has exactly 1 entry for each employee for each month. i.e. employee '12345' for 200501 a projected sales of 10,000. With the above mapping the query results for projected sales is about 50X more. In other words, it shows 30 million when it should be 150,000. I think this has to do with it somehow including results from the billing ODS??
We've read help about interpreting infoset query results and it's quite confusing. It speaks of some filter option to exclude query result set, but can't figure it out.
In addition to the monthly projected sales we want to see for each employee, we want to include all the net sales they had for the same month. So you can see the mapping we did above.
Query would look like this:
Calmonth Employee NetSales ProjSales
200501 123456 220,000 10,000
The projected sales is entirely off by millions of dollars and also the net value isn't calculating correctly. I'm sure out setup is incorrect.
Can someone help us out please.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Ashish,
What you explained is exactly what is the case.
The billing ODS has many, many entries for the for the employee + calmonth combination while the projected sales only has 1. I've figured out that this is what is happening...multiplying the number of entries in the billing X the Projected Sales.
Is there a way to avoid this with a particular join in InfoSet?
The key for billing ODS has billing number, billing item and fiscal year variant, while the key for projected sales is start period and pernr. So I don't see how a multiprovider would work because the fields are different...am I incorrect?
Thanks for your quick reply,
Mike

Infoset query: Runtime Errors TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED

Hi
I have searched the forum and could not find suitable solution for my problem.
We have an infoset query whose data source is an ABAP program and this is within our BW system only. Earlier it used to run perfectly fine. Recently, due to the increasing data, the load for the same is failing because of memory issue with runtime Error TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED . The dump occurs within 5-7 minutes of the data load. Once, we give some more filter selections in the infopackage, it runs fine.
Our problem is neither we can increase the memory any further nor we want to give filter selections in the infopackage. Also, once we execute the ABAP program alone, it runs fine.
Any help to solve this problem is appreciated.
Cheers
Chanda

Hi,
There are 3 ways to avoid this kind of problem:
1) Reduce the data set - if it is possible to process this in smaller
chunks then please do. This is an infoset query - please be more restrictive in your selections
- please refer to note 354657.
When you work with infosets that use tables or joins then it is
possible to read packages (from Rel. 6.10 on). When you work with
infosets that use logical databases or data retrieval programs than
it is not possible to read packaged - by technical restrictions.
That means that the query is executed completely taking all restrictions
into account and the result is stored internally.
2) Re-allocate some of the unused shared memories to program memory.
A prime candidate for this is Roll and Page "In Memory" values.
Alternative memory management via PHYSMEMSIZE generally overallocates
roll and page memory. Please reduce the amounts allocated to the "in
memory" part (see ST02) using the parameters below, for instance:
rdisp/ROLL_MAXFS....Total amt of ROLL (Filesystem+SHM); in 8KB blocks
rdisp/ROLL_SHM......Shared memory element of Roll; in 8KB blocks
rdisp/PG_MAXFS......Total amt of Page (Filesystem+SHM); in 8KB blocks
rdisp/PG_SHM........Shared memory element of Roll; in 8KB blocks
=>Filsystem amt = MAXFS - SHM
60MB or so each in memory should be sufficient.
This should allow an extra 260Mb or so for process memory.
Bear in mind however that Roll_SHM MUST be greater than 10% of
Roll_MAXFS.
This will not affect alternative memory management operation in any way.
3) Reduce the em/global_area_MB from 128 to 64MB.
These measures should give you ~320MB additionally per work process.
To get even more - if there is a 64 bit machine in the landscape then
redirect the load there.
I would like for you to review the SAP Note 712664. Although
the Notes 20527, 369726 and 166551 specifically refers to this
and has helped resolve multiple performance problems.
I hope it can help you.

Report: INFOSET QUERY REPORT

Dear SAP Guru's ,
I need to design a report on Customers Sales figures for the month alond with the sales person responsible.
The sales person responsible is existing in the PE sales partner Feild: KTONR

Please tell me whether it can be possible infoset query ...? and How?
As the tables of PE ,KNA1 and Bseg cannot be joined..
please help me out

SAP SD

Dear G. Lakshmipathi,
The Reason of using BSEG rather than VBRP and VBRK.
because the customer sales data is uploaded as JV in Finance accounting and not as sales order cylce....
I have assigned sales employee responsible in the partner function which acceses the HR table of employees.
I now need to disply a report in
1. Customer
2. Sales Employee responsible.
3. Sales Data/revenue.
Also the sales employees are county code wise.
Thanks
