approval , when i initate the process from the portal after filling all
the details in the edit route map step , when i click on the check and
send , wheel spinning starts , and it is a never ending one ,
i can't understand , when i execute the process from the backend it is
properly working , but i can't able initate the relocation form from
the portal end ,
one more information , the process which i have initated from the
backend , workflow starts and going to tthe approver

Can I create an HCM Form without involving any workflow steps?

Hi Experts,
Can I create an HCM Form without the involvement of any Workflow steps ? I tried to create a simple form to save the User id( IT0105) of a person. I tried to simulate the process through program RPASR_TEST_PROCESS_EXECUTION. But, finally it failed saying "No workflow assingned. Process not successfully completed" . How should I proceed if I dont want any workflow steps to be included?
I just want the form to update the infotypes directly when I save.
Pls advice,
Thanks in advance!
Mahesh

Yes. This is undocumented for some reason (I learned it from SAP folks! haha). Set the workflow to:
NO_WORKFLOW
You're welcome. haha

How to Edit a custom HCM form directly after Employee selection?

Hi All,
As per the requirement, the Manager should have a tab in Portal called "Forms and Processess" and on click of that he should see a Page with few hyperlinks . Each hyperlink is the name of a HCM Form.
So, the Manager will click on one of them to start a particular form. ex. One time payment
After clicking, he should have the Employee search result having Direct reports under STEP "Select Employees".. But the next STEP has to be "Edit" instead of "Select Process" and the Form "One time payment" should directly Open for him to work on.
Please help me providing the relevant information and the approach. Let me know if you need any additional information.
Regards
DK

Return function module result to HCM form using backend service

Hi
I'm trying todo something very simple.
I would like to call a FM using a backend service and return the result of the FM to the HCM form.
I'm using USER_EVENT_CHECK on button to initiate the call.
Here is my dooperations, I have omitted the calling of the FM. I just want to return the changed text to the form in this example.
I have stepped through code using external breakpoint and the field gets changed succesfully in the service_dataset
method IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS.
DATA service_operation_wa TYPE hrasr00genserv_operation.
DATA service_dataset_wa TYPE hrasr00gensrv_dataset.
DATA dummy TYPE string.
DATA message TYPE symsg.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <service_dataset_wa> TYPE hrasr00gensrv_dataset.
DATA inputText TYPE string.
LOOP AT service_operations INTO service_operation_wa.
    CASE service_operation_wa-operation.
      WHEN C_CVRT_OPERATION_NAME.
        LOOP AT service_datasets INTO service_dataset_wa WHERE fieldname = c_oldText_fieldname.
          inputText = service_dataset_wa-fieldvalue.
         MODIFY service_datasets INDEX sy-tabix FROM service_dataset_wa TRANSPORTING fieldvalue.
          exit.

        ENDLOOP.
        IF sy-subrc = 0. "entry found; must not necessarily exist
          CONCATENATE inputText '-TEST-' inputText INTO <service_dataset_wa>-fieldvalue.
        ENDIF.
    ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
endmethod.
Any help will be appreciated.

You could use 'CU_READ_RGDIR_NEW' to get payroll directory RGDIR, 'PYXX_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT' to read results (RT, CRT, ...) from specific entry in payroll drectory.

Standard HCM & forms Process development using WD4A

Hello All,
We are planning to implement applications of Standard HCM & forms Process using WD4A same like standard create Position u2026etc. to avoid Adobe forms.
Could you please share your advises, suggestions and approach to be followed. Best feasible solutions.
To meet the same like standard solution what are the precaution need to take into the consideration?
Can you any provide how the standard HCM & forms Process technical flow and logic.
Where I can find the technical information of the Webdynpro Component: HRASR00_PROCESS_EXECUTE. If you any please share the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
SS

If i understand you correctly you want to replace adobe with WD4A
it was done here
refer here
/people/brad.pokroy/blog/2010/10/05/web-dynpro-forms-using-hcm-processes-and-forms
While investigating and figuring out the best way to classify a form as a "Web Dynpro form" opposed to an "Adobe form", that was one of the routes I looked into. in transaction QISRSCENARIO I started going the route of a fixed value append to domain QISRDPROCESS_TYPE and adding a new value fixed value 'W' - Web Dynpro Forms. It ended up that it would need a bit more work than just that. And I was advised that much of the data in view V_SCENARIOVERSN was populated automatically via transaction HRASR_DT opposed to QISRSCENARIO, so it wasnt the best way to do it via that field.

Opening /Attaching a BDS document to an HCM form (Adobe interactive)

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to attach a document in the Adobe Interactive form used for Employee recruitment process.
The document will be stored in the user's local machine.
We are using HRASR_DT to design the recruitment process.
We are not able to open the document from HCM form.
Can anybody help us resolving the same?
~BiSu

Hello,
I don´t understand when/who/how do you attach files. I also don´t understand what does not work: who cannot read the attachments? The machine/SAP system or the user? In the step after the step when the attachments were attached? Orin any stpe? Please elaborate a little. This seems like a difficult problem (at least for me) and any additionl info could help a lot here.

HCM Forms and Related activities

Hi,
I have configured the search process for HCM forms in related activities. Although the process is working fine i am having two issues.
1. when i click on search process it opens in a new window and launches another window to display the "display_process" iview, so there are 2 popup windows. Can we make the display process iview to open in the first popup window which is the related activities launcher.
2. when i click on the search process link for the first time the initial pernr is passed to it. When i click on another pernr in the employee search iview and click on the search process link, it still uses the old pernr. if i wait for 5 mins and then click on the search process iview, it displays the correct pernr. I think there is a delay in refreshing the shared memory area for holding the pernr. is this a known issue?
Thanks,
Anand

Hi Siddharth,
I have done the configuration for related activities and used the "Related activities launcher" to lauch the "Search process" page (com.sap.pct.erp.hradmin.11.show_processes). This is working fine.
When i click on the link (Search Process) in related activities for HCM Forms, a popup window appears for the search process page and it launches another popup window which displays the "Display Process" screen. is this the standard behaviour?
The first popup window title is "Related activities launcher (search Process)" and the second popup window title is "Display Processes"
If not how to display the "Display process" screen within the first popup window.
==============
The personnel number form Employee Search is not passed to the Search process iview until i refresh the related activities iview. Is this a known issue or am I missing any configuration.
Thanks,
Anand

HCM FORMS and Process Initiator role

Hi,
Certain forms/process needs to be initiabed by only group of people,
Is it posible to restrict the process using the initiator role?
How to create the custom Initiator role in HCM Forms and Process?
Can i pass the directly custom intiator role as application parameter to the Iview?any other configuration is required to complete this requirement?
Thanks
Srikanth M
Edited by: srikanth chowdhary on Apr 28, 2010 6:17 AM

Hi Srikanth,
Yes it is possible to make the process initiate for a group.This can be achieved via roles in the process.But in case if you are using custom roles then you need to include it in the process .So that it is exclusive for that role alone.
For custom roles you need to create them in the processor role (yes configuration is required to be set up ).I don't think it is necessary to pass an application parameter for the custom role to the standard component.

Reg HCM Forms/Processes with Adobe Forms

Hi,
Details of the differences between HCM Forms and Processes with Adobe Form based PCR's and the recommendations for the selection between the same. Point of view on which one can be used.
Regards,
Sujana
Edited by: Sujana Reddy Kumbham on Feb 9, 2009 9:06 AM

SAP_PA backend service EXPECTS either a hardcoded/configured subtype OR a "*" for all available subtypes (which won't work in your case). What you "could" do is get creative with "rules" and check if values are entered, and then if so, do the operation for your subtype.
What you will need to do, which is what I do a LOT because of issues with SAP_PA is to actually make you update/changes in a backend function module (triggered in workflow). Now, things get a bit more complicated.....
Priod to EhP3, you could just call the ol' infotype operations function module in your own FM to do the change. However, from EhP3 and onward, you will need to do this via classes (same used by decoupled infotype framework.
Soooooo......time to get creative with your solution.

Trigger Adobe Window from HCM Form

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to open a ABAP Dynpro window when a button on an HCM Form is pressed.
Certain data would be selected in the Abap Dynpro window and the same would be passed back to the Form.
Any idea how this can be done.
Is any enhancement needs to be done in the standard Dynpro pro component HRASR00_process_execute which contains the HCM Form ?
Regards,
Sameer Tapre.

Hi Sameer,
You dont need to enhance the SAP standard Web Dynpro component HRASR00_processs_execute. This is currently supported with HCM forms and processes. You only need to create your ABAP webdynpro that you want to pop up through form in a certain way.
Refer to the blog /people/ian.stubbings/blog/2010/02/22/hcm-processes-forms-web-dynpro-abap-search-helps for step by step details. There are some standard webdynpro delivered as example and are highlighted in the blog as well.
Hope this helps.

Fill HCM Form fields in creation process

Hi,
I created a HCM Form, everything is working fine so far. i can create a form in the portal, the workflow is triggered and all buttons do what they should do.
But i got a request, that the form should come up with some prefilled information.
I implemented the IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~INITIALIZE method and filled some fields with test information. But its not rendered.
In this web blog
http://weblog-42.blogspot.com/2010/04/hcm-processes-forms-howto-basic-generic.html
I read that i have to call Transaction HRASR_DT to make the Backendservice the default. But this transaction is not available in my system. I also read that this transaction is only available in EHP 4.0 but we do not have this EHP and we do not plan to install it.
Is there a workaround this or do i do something wrong?
Best regards,
Kai

In the configuration you can make backend service as providing the default value.
Personnel Management->HR Administrative services->Configuration of forms/processes->Configuration of forms
->Create form scenario
Here in the form fields you can say default value coming from whichbackend service. For defaulting values,
pass the value to the field in the INITIALIZE method, maintain the form scenario at the above mentioned place and
in the form have the correct binding

In HCM form & process Workflow event linkage changed to inactive status.

Hi,
In HCM form & process event linkage is activated in HRASR_DT and workflow object .
Now once we complete the process from EP portal ,reference number is generated and enteries are created in table T5ASRPROCESSES .
In SWEL,event is triggered and linked with the same workflow.
Now the problem is,thesre is no workitem in SWIA with this workflow numbmer and the event linkage also changed to inactive status ( both in proces and workflow )after we complete the process from EP.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi
When you are delaing workflows with HCM Process and form the behaviour is slightly different from the normal.. In order to check why the event linkage is inactive the possibilities are
1. Either there are some chnages done in the workflow and it is not activated from the transaction HRASR_DT.
2. The other possibility is that you might have directly actovated the workflow from SWDD transaction and if you have done in this way then it is a wrong way of generating and activating the workflow
Follow the below steps to find the error
1. Execute HRASR_DT txn and try to activate the workflow from here. If you try to activate the workflow from this transaction the check function module which is linked to the workflow will be knowing that for which specific process which workflow has to be triggered..
so in HCM process and forms frame workf it is always suggestable that try to create the workflow from HRASR_DT transaction using forward navigation and activate the respective event linkages.
The other point you need to check is make sure that all the respective program exit classesare included in the basic data of the workflow other wise even if you miss the program exit classes in the basic data the workflow will not be able to start its process/execution.

Pavan
