How to trigger follow up processing actions in appraisal documents?

Hi gurus,
We are customizing the performance management process using Objective Settings and Appraisals (ECC 6.0; Enh.Pack 4, ESS/MSS with business pack 1.41) and we have customized the evaluation templates (transaction PHAP_CATALOG_PA) with the enhancement "Follow-Up Proc. (Background) - Adjust Qualific. (Start Date)" in Follow-up Processing section of the Processing tab, at template level (VA object).
The system functions is ok, and the cualification appears in the employee profile (transaction PPPM) correctly after the performance management especialist trigger it using the admin report (transaction PHAP_ADMIN_PA).
My question is: Is there anyway to automatically trigger the follow-up processing after the appraisal document is finished? Do we need to develop in ABAP a new implementation of some BADI?
Thanks in advance!

Do you mean ALL available follow-up processes should be started as soon as status is set to "competed"?
That's not what happens for our (custom) appraisal: follow-up process(es) are not started when the status becomes "completed", neither from the backend nor the portal. We always have to manually launch the follow-up process from the phap_admin transaction, and select the ones we want to be done.
In phap_catalog, we have a couple of follow-up processes that are selected in the "Processing" tab.
when the approval process is activated (infty 5025) and or status 6,7,8,9 are selected then the follow up process only takes place after status change to close approved.
Even when setting the status to "closed approved", no follow-up process is started.
Any suggestion? Isn't there a setting somewhere that should be set in order for the follow-up prpcesses to be automatically started when the status is set to "completed"?

  • How to trigger a local process chain to run manually

    Dear Experts,
    In my company, I have a Daily process chain.
    In this Daily process chain, it contains many other local process chains which are grouped by modules.
    For example, I have created the following 3 process chains:
    - Accounts Receivables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAR data.
    - Accounts Payables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAP data.
    - Inventory Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading  Stocks data.
    These 3 process chains are scheduled one after the other in the main process chain which is called Daily Process Chain.
    FIAR needs to be successful before FIAP can run and Inventory chain will run only after FIAP is successful.
    Normally it runs without any problems.
    But recently, when the previous chain is successful, the next process chain does not get triggered to run.
    In the end, I have to manually execute the remaining process chains to start running.
    With this, all data are loaded, but the Daily Process Chain status for the day is yellow because it is not complete.
    Is there a program or method which I can execute or use to trigger the process chain to continue to run in the Daily Process Chain? If there is, please let me know so that I can avoid having to run the process chains manually one by one.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How to trigger a single Process Chain within a Metchain

    Hi All,
    I had a couple of failures in the overnight dataloads.  I need to trigger just 1 process chain within the daily metachain.  I do not want the subsequent chains to be triggered. 
    The variant on this process chain is set to 'Start Using Metachain or API'  I am aware that I need to change this to 'Direct Scheduling' and immediate and then execute.  I need to ensure however that the subsequent chains are NOT triggered.
    Many Thanks BI Experts!
    Michelle

    Hi,
    you can goforward making it to immediate schedule  as you said.
    Also after your chain completes execution make it back to start using metachain.
    I faced the same scenario and did this step and next daily load was succesful .
    Also going forward this way will not trigger the subsequent chains.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to trigger an integration process at a certain time each night.

    I have an integration process to collect messages that I would like to trigger at a specific time each night. I looked at the Wait step in order to do this, but it looks like you can specify a fixed time, or a repeating time.
    If I used 'Wait until Specified time', I could specify the time, but the date is a problem; I cannot fix it as a certain date because it will only work for that date only.
    If I take the date from a field of the message, I'm not sure what will happen since it looks as if the date would be updated each time a message is received to the collective process.
    I could take the date from the first message, and store it as a variable, then use that in the wait step, but since the date is not in the correct format, I would need to use xpath somehow to do that.
    Alternatively I was thinking about  using a wait for event step, and raising the event from a background job, but this only seems to be available in ABAP Workflow directly, not from the Integration Process Editor. Is it permissable to modify the generated ABAP Workflow and add a Wait for Event step to allow this to happen?
    Does anybody have an opinion on the best way to proceed?

  • How to trigger the automated row fetch process and open modal window by javascript api?

    Hi,
    I would like to click the one row of column of IR report, to open the modal window of current page.  <----------------it is ok. I can use "javascript:openModal('windowID')"  to do it.
    There is one form in this modal window, Meanwhile, I would like to pass column data to this form.    <--------------------- it is ok also. I can use " $s('P7_ID','column_value');" to do it.
    But I don't know how to trigger the "automated row fetch" process of this form to retrieve other field's value in this form.   
    I tried to use following 2 ways. But failed.
    First method:
    add one ajax process of "automated row fetch" in "page processing" block, named "get_fetch_data"
    when click IR column , call "openModal", and call  "apex.server.process ( "get_fetch_data", {}, { success: function( pData ) { }  } );"  , I tried to call above ajax process to refresh form. It is failed.
    Second method:
    add one process of  "automated row fetch" in "page rendering" block, named "get_fetch_data"
    when click IR column, call javascript api "apex.submit" to submit current page , then call "openModal".
    such as :  javascript:apex.submit({request:'MODIFY',set:{'P7_ID': #ID#}}); openModal('trade');
    But it is failed also. the modal page is showed firstly. then page refresh. but modal window will not open again.
    I am not sure if my thinking is right. Could you please provide any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ping

    Hi Ping,
    You can try to set the session state of your modal page's primary key before opening the modal page. Use one dynamic action (on click of IR row) with two true actions. First one to set session state of modal page pk, second on to open modal page.
    Or you can add the modal page url as link in your report by extending your query:
    select ...
    ,         apex_util.prepare_url( 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':7:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||':7:P7_ID'||COLUMN_VALUE ) as link
    from ...
    This will give you the url of the modal page, with set primary key.

              The exception 'CX_OS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND' was raised, but it was not caught
               anywhere along
              the call hierarchy.
              Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not

         Error analysis
              An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
              The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_OS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND', was not
               caught in
              procedure "IF_MEDIUM_PPF~EXECUTE" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a
               RAISING clause.
              Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
              exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
              The reason for the exception is:

  • How to trigger a process task on IT Resource process form

    Hi,
    I want to know how to trigger a process task on IT resource process form using OIM API.For Example:- If a task ilike an e-mail is to be sent on the departure date of a user.So,how can it be done using API?
    Thanks.

    This would typically be done through a scheduled task. Write your code to query for the departure date. If someone meets your criteria for an action to occur, you can either use the addProcessTaskInstance which has an adapter attached to it to send the email, or in your code, send the email.
    The details that need to be considered though is where the departure date is stored. Is it on a process form, or is it on the user's OIM profile. Do you want to disable the user or revoke the object instance at this departure date? You could use the notification tab of these existing tasks if so.

  • How to trigger BPM Process from SRM Portal

    Hello Experts,
    I'am new to BPM and NWDS 7.3 but experienced with Abap and NWDS 7.0 Development...
    Before posting, i have been through the forum and couldn't find exact answer to my case..
    Basicly what i need to do is to trigger BPM Processes on the BPM Server from SRM Portal Server, I'm aware that i can communicate between these servers with WSDL basicly but how am i going to call the BPM Process' Web Service from Standart SRM  Processes?
    These processes will be standart ones mostly and also i am new to SRM.
    Kindest Regards,

    SAP SRM 7.0 user interface is developed in WebDynpro and runs on NetWeaver Portal (Portal was optional component in earlier versions of SRM but it is mandatory component now). So in order to call BPM Webservice (i.e., to trigger a BPM Process) from NetWeaver Portal / SRM 7.0 you can do the following
    - Develop a custom application (using EJBs,etc) to call the BPM web service by creating a web service proxy client using NWDS and then deploying it on Portal Server.
    - Directly create a model in WebDynpro project by using the WSDL of BPM trigger webservice (using NWDS). You can then call the model in WD User Interface, which in turn will invoke the BPM web service and start the process.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Trigger process chains??

    hi all
    How to Trigger process chains??
    Can anybody step by steps??
    thanks
    Senthil

    The background control options are available to directly schedule the start process. You can start the start process immediately , that is when activating the process chain, for a specified time, or after a particular event. When you activate the process chain, the start process is scheduled in the background as defined in your selections.
    You can also trigger the start of a process chain via a meta chain. A meta chain is when a process chain, to which you set this start condition, is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this meta chain.
    When you start the start process via a meta chain, it is not scheduled after you activated the related process chain. The process is only started when the meta chain, to which it is linked, is running.
    The remaining chain processes, that is the application processes and the collection processes, are scheduled to wait for an event.
    The start process has the following special features:
    Only the start process can be scheduled without a predecessor process.
    The start process can not be a successor to another process.
    Only one start process is allowed for each process chain.
    One start process can only be used in an individual process chain

  • How can we set a process chain to trigger the nodes w/o manual intervention

    SDNers,
    We have a Master PC which has the loading & activation of some Hierarchies.Wats happening is some of the hier activations are failing (we got track of the root cause as well) and the nodes below are not getting triggered automatically, eventhough they have been designed to get triggered irrespective of success or failure of this hierarchy activation. The chain prompts for the u2018Status change & trigger the following eventsu2019 opo-up and only when it was said u2018yesu2019, the subsequent node gets triggered in the chain. If this manual intervention was not there, the Chain gets struck at the activation node, whic is running in yellow status for long, though a short dump - error has already been thrown.
    My query is how can we set a process chain not to anticipate the manual intervention of chnaging the status & trigger events pop-up

    Hi ravi,
    i'm not sure abt the query but what i got thru ur qustion is u have to automtaically go to the next load/step even the proceess chain fails in the step......
    for that we have the same master meta chains with link of so many local chains...for this even if there are some interventions/fails in between the process chains it never gets stopped....
    it goes to the next step and we'll work, analyse and finish the failed load manually....the next day it'll be
    fine...
    b4 to this make sure that there is no dependency for the previous loads....
    And now the solution i found for this is in the process chain design itself.......
    while giving the links itself we'll be getting the options as status RED,GREEN and RED(or)GREEN.....now if u got for the third option the event goes to the next step even it is unsuceesful....

  • How to trigger standard task manually in Process controlled workflow?

    Hi All,
