Info on Performance Management Framework/Viewer

Hi all
I am looking for information on the Performance Management Framework and Viewer. We are looking at this product for use as a KPI system, but I am struggling to find any useful information on this.
Any information on this or links would be very useful.
Regards

Thanks a lot Maurice for this initiative. Really appreciate it.
Coming to what I hate the most first.
1. Higher level manager - Why does the Higher level manager have to check documents using ESS and not MSS? Its really the biggest pain convincing the clients on this. I would really like SAP to look seriously into this and provide iviews in MSS.
2. For testing purposes, would like SAP to change the process of SAVE->RELEASE->CREATE DOC-->TEST ->DELETE>CANCEL RELEASE..this is a real pain area.
Coming to what topics we can have for blogs,
1. Technical details on iviews. This is one area where most of the consultants struggle.
2. Workflow related configuration in PM.
3. Process wise, how to tackle more particpants. We have, appriaser, appraisee, part appraiser, and say higher level manager. Now, how do we include an extra participant like HR business partner in your document. This is one area where we would like a discussion.
Thanks a lot Maurice.
Best Regards.

Performance Management: The perfect UI.. and hidden PM info

Hi there,
I have 2 questions for you which relate to performance management, but not in a technical sense.
1. What kind of information are you looking for in regards to PM which cannot be found in the docu?
Back-ground, in the past I used to Blog on PM topics and currently I am considering to pick it up again. So, what PM topics would you see discussed? More process wise, or technical.. or rather just have me shut up
2. What is the perfect PM UI?
Everyone hated the BSP UI, not sexy and then all those columns next to eachother.. that horizontal scrolling.. Then Webdynpro UI, well.. it looks better.. but everything is below eachother.. why can't I put columns next to eachother.. Pre-defined.. Oh, I love the UI, it looks good.. but why can't I adjust it to my process?
So, what features are you looking for in your perfect PM UI, if you have a top 3 how would it look like. and what do you hate the most about the current UI';s.
Based on the response (on question 1) I would make my second question topic for the first blog entry.
Regarrds and Groetjes,

Information about Performance manager's APIs

Hi All, I require some information about Performance Manager of Business Objects XI R2. Business Objects provides APIs for BOE server, Web Services for customization, as that of, is there any APIs available for Performance Manager (for customization)? Can we customize the performance Manager as per requirements? Please let me know your views & finding on this topic. Thanks

Hi John, From the output you shared it looks like you using Performance Advisor and want to share a graph of a 7-mode system. The instructions link you shared is from Performance Manager which is for Clustered Data ONTAP only. In the Performance Advisor there is unfortunately no way to share a link. You can 'save as' to png as you probably already saw, or you can use the dfm CLI to generate the same and email, perhaps as a daily report. There is also a data collector that will post to the NetApp ToolChest that submits data to Graphite with dashboards in Grafana. This solution would allow sharing of a URL like you desire. If you want more info on this let me know. Kind Regards,Chris MaddenStorage Architect, NetApp

Thanks

Hello
Corporate performance management (CPM) is the area of business intelligence involved
with monitoring and managing an organization's performance, according to key performance indicators
(KPIs) such as revenue, return on investment (ROI), overhead, and operational costs.
For online businesses, CPM includes additional factors such as page views, server load,
network traffic and transactions per second. CPM is also known as business performance management (BPM)
or enterprise performance management (EPM) .

Performance Manager and Data Gatherer

Hello,
I am looking for some basic info (I think). I have been using the EM Console - standalone for some time now but would like to use the diagnostic pack and Performance Manager. Can this be used in a standalone configuration or do I need to buy Enterprise Manager? If it works in a standalone configuration and I do not need to buy it, could you point me in the direction of documentation on how to start the data gatherer on my 9i database on AIX 5?
Thanks,
Jeff Graham

CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
you have to find the keyword to see...
i suggest you to uninstall businessobjects and install again(else it's very hard to add the performance management program).
while you install, check the install performance management also(you have to have the keyword).

Replacimg performance Manager with SSM(SAP Strategy management)

Hi,
Can any body tell me how to migrate all the scorecards, KPIs based on Performance Manager to SAP Strategy Management. Is there is a tool for that in SSM if not should those be rebuilt in SSM from the scratch.
how do we replicate everything fromPM to SSM
From the developer perspective what will their tasks.
Edited by: chrisbaker1999 on Jun 16, 2011 1:01 PM

Chris,
What the External Data Loader does is to allow you to transfer your scorecard structure from Performance Manager to Strategy Management. What you are importing is the structure of Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives and KPI aspects. It allows you to put all of these in the loader, verify the structure in the loader, and then using Transport to bring into SSM.
There are additional definitions and settings that SSM requires that will have to be added after you Transport the loader's data.
You will still have to build PAS models separately, because the External Data Loader does not build models.
The Transporter tool in SSM allows you to export (and then import) your scorecard metadata from DEV to PROD. Moving between systems is a two-step process, and Transporter is step one. PAS is separate (step two) and you make a dump of the model in your DEV system, take that dump file from the Home directory in DEV and move it to the Home directory in PROD. In the PROD system you create a new PAS model frame and then load that dump into the new framework.
Each SAP customer has a super-administrator that can add users to the SAP Service Marketplace. Find out who your super-admin is and get yourself added to allow you access to those areas on Service Marketplace.

Bob

Performance Management Template issue in EHP4

Hi Guru's,
I have created a Performance Management template in PHAP_CATALOG and few days before i have delete the template in PHAP_CATALOG. But when i tried to login into portal for any user i am getting this error message " Template 50022735 is not assigned to the given Add-On application " and moreover i was not able to view any of the appraisal documents. A blank screen is appearing on the screen.
Please advice.
Thanks.
Ganesh R K

Hi vasehgal,
I have created several templates using SPRO too. But my actual problem is cannot able to view any of the Appraisal documents and standard screen in portal. Due the error message, I was not able to view any thing. I have tried with the function modules HRHAP_C_VA_DELETE to delete the template 50022735. It shows the return message as Template not found. Is there any other way to delete the is error message in portal
Thanks,

Performance Management Installation problem

Hi all
I'm in a big trouble with Performance Management XI installation on a BO XI R2 environment.
When I reach the CMS logon information, the CMS box is left blank by default, so I fill it and I got the following error:
"Logon Information for the CMS is invalid"
But when using java launchpad I can enter CMS with the same information (username, password, and authentication).
Anyone knows a file or something else where setup file looks for CMS configuration info?
thanks in advance
marco

Hello Marco,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Best regards,

Collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0

Hi,
collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0, but I cant found a way. I cant see that it is in the inventory data for SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName.
So any way to get computers with windows management framework 3.0?
/SaiTech

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct on SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ProductName like "Windows Management Framework 3.0%"
That won't work because as mentioned, it doesn't appear in ARP.
Torsten's suggestion will work or you can resort to software/hardware inventory using the info at

Performance Management EHP4 Flexible Appraisal Process

Hi
We are in the process of building Performance Management using Enhancement Package 4 in ECC 6.0 in our test system. We have activiated flexible appraisal process and have completed the necessary config for ESS and MSS and appraisal template.
The MSS user can create the appraisal and define the objectives etc. The ESS user can view the appraisal but cannot add comments. On checking the appraisal template we have created a criteria for employee comments and an element called additional comments the tab 'element access' has been marked against the employee as follows:
Participant = Employee
Plan:Access = Change
Review Access = Change
Completed = Display
So we do not know why the ESS user cannot add comments.
Can anyone help on this issue?
Many thanks
Julie

Many thanks for this - we have checked the template level and have the column access for column 'objectives' (which is what is used at element level for appraisee comments) and if we change the column owner to 'appriaser and appraisee' it works for the appraisee but not for the appraiser. So we have a choice either it is set to appraiser and it works fine for the manager or we change it to appraisee and appraiser and it works fine for the ESS user.
Perhaps there is something else we need to check?

Performance management

HI Gurus,
We are working on Performance management we are facing a p[roblem in OPR over all performance rating Can any one help us where can we see the overall performance rating in R/3 like in which table OPR strores
Regards
Renuka

Hello,
The final appraisal (OPR i guess) in an appraisal document is stored in column 'FAPP'.
You can read the value of the cell against column 'FAPP'.
The standard function module like HRHAP_DOCUMENT_GET_DETAIL give you all the data of one appraisal document. You can retrieve your relevant data about final appraisal from there.
One suggestion: Avoid directly hitting database table as you can end up reading invalid value from a process point of view. Use standard module specially if the document is not yet completed.
Thansk&Regards,

Appraisal template for performance management plan

Hi, I can see my performance management plans in the table per_perf_mgmt_plans. But in this table I can't see the appraisal template that is linked to the plan. Is there any table or view which shows this?
Thanks

Thanks for the answer but I actually would like to see it in a database table. In the per_perf_mgmt_plans table there is no mention of the appraisal template. Is there a table or view I can find this link between the plan and the appraisal template? Thanks
