ESS - Dynamic actions

Hello,
Can we use dynamic actions in ESS. ex: employee changes his/her address, we need to send an email to the department and the employee too.. I tried setting it up and testing it.. does not work. The email can be sent when I make changes using PA30. Just wanted to confirm here if dynamic actions work in ESS.
My other option will beusing workflow.. any idea which business object to use to catch the triggering event "changed" .
Thanks in advance.

Hello Mark,
i have successfully implemented such a requirenment several times already. Check transaction SWEHR2 (SAP-Entries) and SWEHR3 (Customer Entries).
create a new entry with transaction SWEHR3 for infotype 0006:
OT: P
IType: 0006
VBOper: DEL / INS /UPD (3 entries in total)
LfdNr: (e.g. 901 ... )
OBJECTYPE: ADDRESSEMP
Funktion Module: Custom FM (a specific interface is required: check FM: HR_EVENT_RULES_PA0006)
In this FM now get sure that you just process the email-sending when you are coming from ESS and not via the PA30 transaction. A simple sy-tcode is initial or sy-tcode <> 'PA30' is sufficient.
.. Now simply add your coding to send an email. This solution works perfectly smooth.
regards,
Markus

ESS - Dynamic action

Hi,
I have dynamic action which works in PA30 how ever when I am trying thru ESS then it is not triggered.
when ever I enter phone number in IT0006 then it will update in IT0105**
Is there any other settings I need to do to work dynamic action thru ESS(portal)

Hello,
The portal does not trigger dynamic actions, you can use function module or user exits.

Dynamic actions in ESS

Hi,
As dynamic actions CAN NOT be used in ESS I would need to know if there is a technical way to make a link between two sections of the Personal Information service.
In fact, what we would like to achieve is that when an employee changes his maritital status for example to "married", the system can propose the Family/Dependents screen to allow the filling our of his spouses data.
Any information will be rewarded.
Thank you
Regards

Make it a Life and Work event. Individual ESS services are meant for JUST THAT....INDIVIDUAL services. Tie a series of services/steps together with Life & Work events. You can even have some control within that framework for dynamic selections/steps.

HR PA Dynamic Actions: Generate mail to the admin when 0002 & 0021 changed

Hi gurus!
My client wants us to generate a mail to the Admin when an employee changes his 0002 or 0021 infotype
through ESS. I believe we could do this is Dynamic Actions. Can you please tell me how we do it?

Issue in execution of Dynamic action on change event

Hi,
Greetings.
I have scenario, where I have one select list (P_CATEGORY) and one shuttle control (P_ROOMS) on page.
The values of the shuttle list is being populated based on the selected value in select list.
The left pane of shuttle control's value based on LOV and source of the shuttle item is a plsql function, which returning colon separated value list.
So that returned values shown in the right pane of shuttle.
The LOV values are getting being populated using cascading LOV i.e based on the of Select List item. But the Shuttle source values not getting auto refresh and for achieving that I've created a dynamic true action on change event of Select list.
The dynamic action is with :
Action : Set Value
Set Type : PL SQL funciton body
Page items to submit : P_CATEGORY (this is select list)
Escape Special Character : Yes
Suppress Change event : Yes
Affected Elements -
Selection type : Item(s)
Item(s) : P_ROOMS
This is perfectly working on Firefox but not working on IE9 & Google Chrome.
I've debugged in both IE9 & Google chrome and found the dynamic action get executes ajax call and the values get back but not rendering on the screen. i.e not assigning to the item.
So can you please advice me what will be a workaround for this issue?
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32 .
I'll appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks & Regards,
Jaydipsinh Raulji

I don't understand why this is not working withouth seeing an example, there might be multiple processes working on the item.
Anyway if the value is returned check if the value is in the session aswell. If it is in the session but not on the page that means you will need to find a way to bring it from the DB to the page. You can do this by adding an action to your DA:
Action: Execute PL/SQL code
PL/SQL code: NULL;
Page Items to Return: your shuttle item

Re: Dynamic Action is not triggering in LSMW Recording

Hello All,
In SAP HRMS personnel actions if i do using LSMW Recording it is not triggering the dynamic actions.
Is there any mechanism to Trigger dynamic action in LSMW Recording ?
How to find the differences in process with and with out recording ?
Small help is also highly appreciated.
With Regards,
Sunil,

Yes. Do one thing. First study the dynamic action. Try to understand what the dynamic action is doing. Is it creating data in other infotype or is it updating some other table. Once it is clear what the dynamic action is doing then you can try to implement the same logic in LSMW. In LSMW there is a provision to add more than one recording and this recording can be called based on some logic..
Thanks & Regards,

Refresh report title with dynamic action

Hi all,
I have a report that is refreshed with an dynamic action. When the refresh is performed, first the value of two hidden variables are set (P2_ID and P2_NAME) and are submitted (using a dynamic action type 'pl/sql', with code 'null;' and page items to submit: P2_ID,P2_NAME).
In the query of the report, i use :P2_ID in the where-clause. That's all working like a charm! The one thing that doen't work, is the title of the region: that's defined as 'Properties of &P2_NAME.', but the title isn't refreshed when the report gets refreshed.
Is there a solution for this? I hope I'm clear enough.

See Re: Dynamic action - Refresh
So you are right; the native Refresh action just refreshes the report content, it does not perform &ITEM. substitutions everywhere in the region.
What you could do is use a named SPAN as the title like <span id="my_title">&P2_NAME.</span> and add a TRUE action to your Dynamic Action to set the title using Execute Javascript code $s('my_title',$v('P2_NAME'));Hope this helps.

Dynamic action on text box change does not working

i have a page with following components.
a report that has and edit link.
a text box to catch the primary key from report link when it is clicked
a number of elements (text boxes, check boxes and LOVs) which are used as data entry form.
Now my design is that user enter values save them and no sooner did they save, the report depicts new
values. if user want to edit any record, they click on edit link and the data entry form elements
should now bring all those values from DB on page. i m successful to pick primary key and bring
it in a hidden text box and wrote a dynamic action on its change event that will bring values from
DB and set all page elements. but but but.........the change event doesnt work. it only work
when focus is lost from the text box...!! offcourse user wont want to click in that "hiddent" text
box and then click some where else to bring values in page data entry form......
help is humbly requested from forum or if any other solution approach is to be used easier than
one i m using, would be appreciated.
thanks in advance for reading my bore question :)

bundles of thanks for reply. i m going to elaborate.
1. My page no is 3.
2. Hidden Item name is P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID
3. Data entry form, hidden item and the report are on the same page.
4. on the edit link of report, i have used following settings.
    Target: Page in this application
     Page: 3
     and i set hidden item as follows......
     Item 1   P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID         Value #ACTIVITY_ID#
   well, when i click the link on report it does bring Activity_Id in the hidden box (which is not yet hidden for debugging purpose)
Next i wrote Dynamic action which fires on the change event of P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID and run PL/SQL code with in it which is as follows
declare
Dept varchar(50);
begin
   select my_dept into Dept from activity_main ACTIVITY_ID = :P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID;
   :P3_Dept := :Dept;          (i did use :P3_Dept := Dept also but this wont work)
insert into testdynamic (stamp) values (Dept); (I did this to check whether correct value is brought from DB, yes it works correctly, correct Dept is being inserted in stamp column)
end;
i have created another true action to check when the dynamic action is fired. its very simple alert. and the problem is, it only fires when focus is lost from the P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID. i mean, when u keep changing value inside the text box, nothing happens, when u go outside, the alert is fired and so the pl/sql procedure. but the line
    :P3_Dept := :Dept;       OR      :P3_Dept := Dept;         arent working which is the actual requirement.
I m not using set value here as i have to set a lot of values on page not one. further. plz let me get rid of this lost focus thing as i want the form to be populated with correct values related to P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID as the user click on any edit_link in the report.
Thanks for persistence. i hope i have provided all the details.
looking forward.

Dynamic Action with KeyCode check for ENTER button pressed

Hi,
I want to create a dynamic action which executes if the ENTER button of field P1_NAME is pressed.
I thought about this type of DA:
Event: Key Press
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_NAME
Condition: Javascript expression
Value: this.triggeringElement.keyCode == 13
That unfortunately doesn't work! Dynamic action doesn't get executed...
Hope for help! :)
Tobias

I found the solution in my own blog: :)
Event: Key Press
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_NAME
Condition: Javascript expression
Value: this.browserEvent.keyCode == 13

Dynamic action with interactive report region refresh

Hi!
I'm using APEX 4.02
I've got a page with 2 regions.
Region1 is a (input) form
Region2 is an interactive report on the same table as region 1
When entering values on the form I'm trying to dynmically lookup similar records in the table with the interactive report.
I've made a dynamic action on the change of the form fields which should refresh the interactive report region. I can see this one fires if I add a alert to debug if it fires.
The dynamic report is based on a query with bind variables pointing to the form fields, for example
where
field1 = :P2_FIELD1
This works great on the page load, so no dynamic action is fired but I can see the rows in the report region are the ones I am looking for.
But the refresh of the report region is not working, it is never refreshing and/or showing the correct data after a change of the form fields, so it looks like the dynamic action "refresh region" is not working on the interactive report.
Any ideas why this can go wrong ?
I would like to solve this using standard dynamic actions and preferrably not via PL/SQL or JS, shoudl be possible if I should believe the documentation... ;)
Cheers
Bas

Hi,
When you change value to item, I assume you do not set value to session state.
Use interactive report advanced attributes "Page Items to Submit" , set items session state before report is refreshed.

Dynamic Action with field DIVGV not working

We have built the dynamic action below to default values from infotypes 0007 and 0008 behind the screnes in infotype 0491 Payroll Outsourcing. The issue that we are having is that the dynamic action will not work for field P0008-DIVGV, but will work with all the other fields.
The only difference between the DIVGV field and the rest of the other fields mentioned in this dynamic ation is that it seems to be a free text field (which you can modify), even though the values are pulled from the work schedule rule in infotype 0007. We have also hidden the DIVGV field in 0007 per client requirement.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working. Do we need to populate these values in any of thh HR tables first?

Hi Damas,
it seems to be no specific reason for not updation P0008-DIVGV only.Please cross check whether field is populating or not in Infotype 0008, before dynamic action triggered, other that that there is no reason.

Dynamic action with function works, doesnt refresh textfield

Hi all,
experimenting with dynamic actions so I got the following setup:
I've built a screen with 2 text boxes
P7_input
P7_output
The goal is to put some tet in P7 input and have it returned with additional text in P7_OUTPUT
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PRC_ECHO
P_INPUT IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'LEEG'
, P_OUTPUT OUT VARCHAR2
) AS
BEGIN
p_output := 'Ingevoerd: ' || p_input;
END PRC_ECHO;I've created a dynamic action on the LOSE FOCUS event of item P7_INPUT.
The true action executes PL/SQL (sequence number 10)
Begin
eigen_apps.uga_prc_echo (:p7_input, :P7_OUTPUT);
end;"Page items to submit" are set to P7_INPUT, P7_OUTPUT
(and I tried with just P7_INPUT).
The second true action (sequence number 20) does a REFRESH on ITEM P7_OUTPUT (and I tried refresh region and other things I thought would make it work.)
When I enter something in P7_INPUT and tab, click or enter away from the P7_INPUT field, nothing changes in my P7_OUTPUT textfield.
Only when I hit the refresh button in my browser P7_OUTPUT is filled with 'Ingevoerd: <P7_INPUT value>.
So. The procedure does return the value into P7_OUTPUT, but I cant get an instant refresh of the P7_OUTPUT to work.
Can any of you help me?

Dynamic action with set value on date field

Hi,
I'm using APEX 4.02
I'm trying to calculate the age based on the date of birth dynamically on a form. I'm trying to do this with a (advanced)dynamic action with set value.
I'm able to get this kind of action working based on a number field etc, but NEVER on a date field.
I've read all posts on this subject but so far no solution. Even if I try to simply copy the value over to another date field or typecast it to a string ( to_char function ) it does not work. So for me the problem seems to be in the source field being a date field.
I've tried using the source value as is in a select statement :
select :P33_GEBOORTEDATUM from dual;
and also type casted based on the date format :
select TO_DATE(:P33_GEBOORTEDATUM,'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual
but still no luck.
On the same form I don't have any issues as long as the calculation is based on number fields, but as soon as I start using dates all goes wrong.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you need any extra info just let me know.
Cheers
Bas
b.t.w My application default date format is DD-MON-YYYY, maybe this has something to do with the issue .... ?

Hi,
Create a dynamic action named "set age" with following values.
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE
Set Type: PL/SQL Expression
PL/SQL Expression: ROUND( (SYSDATE - :P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH)/365.24,0)

IT0071 Dynamic Action does not overwrite Pension Scheme Calculation Rule

I am trying to write a dynamic action to create IT0071 with default values for the Employee contribution (0%) and Employer contribution (4%). However when IT0071 is created the default values from the associated Pension Scheme Calculation Rule (4% and 8%) are not being overwritten by the dynamic action.

Hi Brian,
              In standard SAP physical sample planning requires sample drawing procedure.

              And drawing procedure is advised with partial sample numbers.

             Generally when we use partial sample numbers, we also use a drawing procedure. And in that scenario SAP describes the calculation as shown in

             What you have done (partial samples for MICs and not having for others, all without drawing procedure) is not generally done. I think our observations in this context should be confirmed only if we try more of such examples.
