EP5 TM "Inconsistent behaviour in working time appln" EP5 TM "Inconsistent

Dear SAP Experts,
We have recently migrated EP4 TM appln to EP5 with additional requirement(i.e.) new column "lunch break" between start & end time).
We don't have "Lunch break" column in EP4 Appln. The additional field is displayed in working time appln through ABAP code because of 2 reason a) No Change in profile but need to display additional field for certain group of EE b) Lunch break column should be treated as Quantity(hours) instead of CHAR field.
Everything worked fine in Development & Test system. Infact we have tested immediately after moved to QA and lunch break column is display and the value entered is considered for calculating total hours.
But when we move the same coding to Production it's didn't work and we cleared the browser cache & it worked fine..
Later we cleared Portal cache and it's working fine.
My question: Does anyone had this similar issue in cache issue & how does its resolved.
After we sign-off to use in production, does any user will have a problem(cache) problem in future
Appreciate your valuable input
With Regards
Babu

My problems were being caused by these files:
/var/db/.TimeMachine.cookie
/var/db/.TimeMachine.Results.plist
To reset any TM history on a machine you have to delete these in addition to:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.timemachine.plist
And anything in Managed Preferences. Also there are hidden files on the TM sharepoint created on first backup (named after the machines MAC address). I've had to delete these on occasion too.
Once I got all of these files correct, I had no problems.

Record Working Time task merging multiple employees into a single task

Hi Everyone,
I'm going to check our configuration again to see if this is standard behaviour, config, or a problem with EHP 3's version of record working time.
So if employee A submits to manager A 1 task is created. Then when employee B submits to manager A we were expecting 2 tasks. However, we've been noticing manager A is getting 1 task with several line times.
We are ok with it merging tasks for employee A over multiple weeks. That is ideal actually.
The problem is that employee B's task should be separate.
Is there a quick fix?
Thanks,
Doug Robbins

I did try 31000007 and noticed the same behavior. Are you saying I should use an older version of the task to get back to grouped by employee number and not merging everything?
Well this causing us issues for a few reasons. The main one we developed a work around because we had to make sure emails were not being sent to 1 person for all the employees with their data. That would cause obvious security concerns.
But when forward tasks out managers want to be able to forward a specific employee's requests and not all of them. If some customers want this it should be a configurable option. To allow companies that want 1 single task or companies that want 1 task/employee/week.
This is inconsistent with the other portal applications. It would be nice if Germany picked 1 way of doing things or provided more configuration options. I'm hoping that OSS gives us something because merging everything into a single task for all employees is not the behaviour we want or expected.
I always appreciate your input because you have been very helpful as I learn about portal.
Thanks,
Doug R

Custom Search help in Record Working Time

Hi,
We have a requirement to add a custom field on RECORD Working Time ( ESS). This field has been added and custom search help is assigned to the data element of the field. The values in the F4 help should vary based on employees department.
The related code for this requirement is written in the serach help exit. The F4 help is working as expected from backend ( ECC) but not in Portal (ESS).
I have added the custom field in TCATS_SHLP_ITS. After maintaining this table all the values in F4 help are displaying , whereas it should only display the values under employees department in Record Working time.
I understand the class cl_xss_cat_value_help_general is responsible for the search help in ESS is there any user exit or enhancement available for this class in order to control the serach values on ESS.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Pradeep

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

CATS webdynpro Java - working times in weekly view

Hi Team
1. Start & end time in Weekly view : Requirement is to allow shift planning employees to enter their working times in weekly view itslef. But as I had discovered that it is possible to enter it only in dailuy view of webdynpro Java application in ERP 6.0.
I came across a better Webdynpro ABAP application which exactly fits the requirement but it is part of EHP5, getting a mini upgrade for one application was also rejected. is it possible to implement in a short period of time without great impact ..anybody experienced on this?
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/30/e67780e37f4f5a90105a9e9205660f/frameset.htm
So I am again back to finding way to enhance the weekly view.I read all teh therads...didnt find anyone successful
2. Default Attendance type & target hours & start & end times from Infotypes : CATS0002 exit is called only when we go to next step ,is there any other way to default as soon as CATS screen is loaded ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated & rewarded.
Thanks

Hi Suresh,
Thanks for your valuable inputs. I went and looked into the java file and found bit different.I dont see how they are getting the column headers like Saturday,Sunday,Monday...
Basically I need to keep one 'Submit' button on top of my table and on click, it should populate 8 hrs in the correspounding column.For eg. if its monday, it should default 8 hrs in monday column so that user dont have to manually type it in and also save these working hrs in the backend system without further click on 'Save' or 'Review'.
I still need to check with the ABAPers regading the user exit.
Also, Is it possible if I create a custom webdynpro application where I can use a BAPI that takes in the current day from my webdynpro and update the cats database and send an export parameter with success or error message.
Thanks
Anjana

ESS Working Time - Start Time and End Time in Weekly View

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the business package ESS - functionality Working Time (cat2).
I need that information to Start Time and End Time appear in the Weekly View of the portal.
In Daily View that information are already visible, but In Weekly View that information does not appear.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you very much your attention.
Att,
Jair de Oliveira Junior

Hi Bala
You can have clock in and clock out in a weekly view.
you have to change the data entry profile settings.
In general settings tab in data entry profile click the with clock times button and maintain the Period type to 02 in time settings tab.
And you can view the weekly entry in clock in and clock out.

Call ESS FPM CATS Working time application from non FPM web dynpro application on click of button

Hi,
My requirement is to launch ESS Working time application HRESS_AC_CATS_1 from custom web dynpro application.
ESS CATS working time application is configured in LPD_CUST launchpad.
I tried using method cl_hr_navigation_services=>navigate in my custom web dynpro but it did not work.
Regards,
Ibrahim

In case you want to use Launchpad, you can use ABAP class CL_APB_LAUNCHPAD_API. If choose not to use Launchpad, you can use method CONSTRUCT_WD_URL of ABAP class CL_WD_UTILITIES to generate the URL. Specify Web Dynpro application and Web Dynpro Configuration as parameter. Finally create an external window using method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW that points to that URL.

Hiding non-working time in Team Planner View

Hello there. The tasks in my project are typically between 2-5 hours over a week period. In Team Planner View, I'm hoping to provide a better representation of free time between tasks by making my bottom tier hours in a 4 hour count. However,
decreasing the scale forces the Task names become cut off when the event itself shrinks.
I was hoping to remove the non-working time (i.e., nights and weekends) from the Team Planner view to enable a better view. I'm aware that the capabilities of Team Planner View seem to be limited, but is this type of formatting at all possible?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

Joe --
After I created my response and posted it, I wondered whether you wanted to completely remove the nonworking time periods. This is not possible. The best you can do is to remove the shading for nonworking time periods, but you cannot remove them
entirely in any view. Hope this helps.

Approve/Reject Working Time through the Enterprise Portal Workflow

Hey Everyone,
We are currently working on a project to rollout a number new portal services. I was wondering if anyone in ECC or Portal has experience with enhancing the Time Entry Approval process. Is it possible to trigger an email notification when a manager rejects an employees time for any of the configured reasons. I would like an email back to the email to let them know they should change their hours or that their overtime was rejected. I have been spoiled by the deeper config options available for Leave Request.
In the standard workflow task the Item does turn red when rejected, but if employees aren't reviewing their entries they may never know it was rejected before they check their pay stubs.
I would be pretty surprised if the BADI or workflow task would be unable to know there was a rejection because it clearly asks you for a rejection reason and changes the colour of the request in the Record Working Time screen.
Thank you in advance,
Doug

Sid,
I believe we are or have looked into RSWUWFML2, but I will confirm.
After trying a number of different options we are currently looking at using the Rejection check-box and determine if BASIS can redirect the messages to the employee's IT0105 subtype 0010 email address.
Here are some of the notes we have looked at.

How to restrict the dropdown values in Att/abs type in Record Working Time

Hello experts,
We are implementing ESS business package. In the Record Working time, within the Weekly View and Daily View tabs, there is a column Att/abs.type which has several drop down values - like: floating value, Funeral Leave, Military Reserve, Regular Attendance, etc. Our requirement is to restrict the dropdown values by means of showing only one of these values (say: Regular Attendance) and others should not be shown. How do we achieve this?
Thanks
Vicky R.

Hi Siddarth,
Thanks for the info. By the way, this table info is not mentioned in the Business Package documentation. Which documentation are you referring to?
Thanks

Sales Order ATP (ECC) with Working Times - available customizing methods?

Dear All.
We're having some issues with sales order atp and working times.
Seems like the sales order atp function is not looking at the time zone assigned to the working times. I would have guessed the time zone would have come from the shift sequence or just the time zone off the shipping point or plant.
Seems like it's taking the time zone assigned to the user though.
Any thoughts on this ECC functionality?
Seems like it works ok if atp is checked in APO.
Otherwise, we may need to do a little customizing update the material availability date to the correct date, or update the correct timezone if possible, or possibly roll back the confirmed dates by one day if the request misses the cut off on the working times due to the delta in the timezone checked.
I've been reviewing:
userexit_availability_in, userexit_availability_out, exit_saplatpc_001, and userexit_check_vbep but nothing jumps out at me as a good option.
Any thoughts on an approach for this?
Anyone made any similar updates through userexit, badi, cmod, other?
Looking for structures, tables, fields in these programs which we could use for this purpose, or possibly just adding a check to skip the working times under certain circumstances.
Many thanks.

More on this one (below) in case anyone has come across this before and found a reasonable solution to it.
Looks like there is an OSS note on this, but it just describes the fact that it doesn't work. The note = 547961, and looks to be related to #7. I'm not sure how adjusting the transportation duration would help as it suggests. Seems like we would then just be sending more packages overnight rather than ground.
Going to take a look at adding some custom code to set the material availability date (mbdat) to the correct date based on the shipping point cut off time.
Any extra input would be helpful on issues this might cause, how to go about, etc.....
Thinking that we could roll the mbdat back one day if the item was confirmed but was rolled forward one day due to the time zone issue.
Looking at mverf, mverf_pos, xvbep. Others?
One possible issue I can think of is that initial delivery scheduling for the requested date has already been completed before the ATP check. But not sure if there's a userexit, routine, badi, etc... available specific to the delivery scheduling peice?
Thanks again!

I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files? Also, how do I add co-workers to my work time capsule and wife to my home time capsule? Thank you!

You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

Header information not displaying in ABAP Webdynpro record working time

1. I am not seeing the header information, personnel number, name, cost center, on the ABAP Webdynpro record working time timesheet. When I run the timesheet profile in CAT2 the header contains the personnel number, name, cost center, but these do not display when the ABAP Webdynpro timesheet is run
2. Is there a version of the ABAP webdynpro timesheet that prompts for the personnel number, date and profile prior to executing the timesheet? I want to define an ESS link for managers to update timesheets of individual teammates. The teammate do not necessarily have to be their direct reports

Hi David,
CATS Webdynpro application is a OIF fpm. Please check if you have performed the FPM IDR configuration properly.
In standard, the ESS CATS does not prompt for the personnel number except in CE scenario. In MSS addon, you have an option to launch the ESS CATS application on-behalf of the employee. Please refer to the sap library documentation.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Roy

Enhance legend in Record Working Time IView

Hi,
I am working on SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0(Service Pack 4). New NetWeaver functionality in Record Working Time section(of ESS>Working time ) allows employees to enter their working times for different attendance/absence types showing different colours in calendar for Rejected and Not Released statuses. Now the requirement is to include one more colour to show the approved times in the calendar. Ie, Currently legend has two colors with text, like ( <Red box> Rejected <Light Red box> Not Released), now i have to add ' <Green box> Approve ' beside 'Not Released' text, and if manager approves the time sheet then those dates will be displayed in green color.
If any body worked on the similar type of requirement or having knowledge....please let me know how to achieve this req.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
You need to implement BADI for this ..
BADI name : "PT_ABS_REQ"
In the BADI "PT_ABS_REQ" interface "IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ" you can find the method
"SET_CALENDAR_COLOR" in that you can set the colure for the Absent type ......
Adjust Colors of Calendar and Team Calendar
Functionality
You can use this method to change the colors in the team calendar.
In the standard system, the different statuses for requests have different colors. You can use this method to differentiate the colors of requests depending on the following aspects:
Status of requests (status)
Action that an employee has executed: new request, delete, change (UIA operation)
Subtype of absence (SUBTY)
Full-day or partial-day absence (BEGMT, where BEGMT = 0 signifies a full-day absence)
Application mode ( mode). You specify the application mode in the Select Employees for the Team Calendar IMG activity.
Color Display of Status of Leave Requests(COLORS_ACTIVE). You specify this status in the Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values IMG activity.
Available Colors
You have a choice of 16 colors. The 16 colors are hard coded, that is, you cannot change them or add other ones.
The available colors are stored with their RGB value as constants of the CL_PT_REQ_CONST class. Use these constants if you want to change the colors.
Notes
If you change the colors in the team calendar, you should also adapt the legend accordingly. You can use the Adjust Legend for Calendar and Team Calendar method to do so.
Hope this work!!!
