Leveling question: levels to end of previous task while time free

Hi,
Guess this is one I don't know how to approach it in the correct way. This is where MS P is all about.
I have two tasks. Task one is a task in which I defined 4 hours a week over a period of 20 weeks for a total of 80 hours and assigned a resource. Task two is a task of 16 hours which can be done in one week. This week is also part of the 20 week span of
task one and has the same resource assigned to it, so MS P tells me this resource is overallocated.
When I have a look into the task usage, that makes perfect sense. Let's say task 1 and 2 both have the same start date. So at this first day task 1 is scheduled 4 hours and task 2 is scheduled 8 hours while working days are 8 hours. Now when I use leveling
based on priority, standard and check the options (leveling can adjust individual assignments and leveling can create splits in remaining work) MS P shifts task 2 to the end of task 1. While in every week this resource only has 4 hours work of task 1
assigned and is able to do task 2 as well. The task type doesn't make a difference, tried fixed work and fixed units (which in my eyes makes no sense). Can anyone help me out?

Hi Jan,
Thanks again! Using the recurring task makes it at least a lot more neat.
I'm still stuck with one issue. I have a recurring task now every monday, lasting 4 hours/half the day with resource X assigned. When I plan a second task (it will start the same monday since it's the project start date) and assign resource X MS P tells
me that this resource is overallocated. The same applies here, resource X can't work 12 hours in a 8 hour work day. Both tasks are fixe work. Now when I use leveling (with split option checked), it do anything.
While typing this I checked this again with a completely new file and pool. There it does what I expect, levels task 2 to 4 hours on monday and 4 on tuesday. Seem to walk against this sort of bugs more and more. It seems like I have to do everything right
the first time, because after changing the task type it doesn't know how to handle it. I'm gonna try a bit more and will report back here.
Edit: Gues I found the reason, not what is causing it. In an attempt to solve the overallocation myself, I put the hours to the next day in task usage. When I wanted to delete the hours of the first day by selecting it and pressing delete, it deleted the
hours on the second day I just added instead. Seems like there is some sort of restriction for the task to start on that first day. I checked for that, but couldn't found anything besides the most obvious. The task was set to as soon as possible, no deadlines,
date in start field not manually set or whatsoever. I made a new task and deleted the initial one, no problems with that. If someone knows how this is possible, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Edit 2: It has to do with priority settings. Still figuring out what it is exactly but I think it was due to all tasks were set to 1000 priority. :|

SRM 7.0 RFx: Supplier not able to reply to Header level questions

Hi Gurus
I am currently working on SRM 7.0. I am facing a strange issue.
While creating an RFX I am able to create questions as both item level and header level and able to assign weights to the same. I am also able to see questions along with weights at the supplier's end however when I try to create bid it shows weights at header level questions as zero and the supplier response to the question is also not accepted.
For questions at item level it is just working fine.
Please suggest what could be wrong. waiting for your replies.
Sohil

Daniele,
it could be due to multiple purchasing org. assignment to the suppliers.

Very High-Level Question on Approach (PI ccBPM or CE7.1?)

All -
I have a very high-level question. I am not current on what would be the appropriate tool for my scenario.
My scenario...
Transitioning business to use new sales order system.
This will be a phased roll-out, not Big Bang.
Company ordering website needs to send orders to one of two systems (new and old).
Assume order has a flag or some other value that is an indicator to which backend application it should be sent.
Each recieving application has an order insert web service, which would be in PI 7.1's ESR.
What we "envision" is that there would be some kind of fronting web/enterpise service that would read the "flag", then pass the message to the appropriate web service (and on to the appropriate application).
But I really am not clear how to architect this, if any rules "engines" (ccBPM or in CE 7.1) would be or should be used.
You opinions are welcome...
Thank you for your time...

Hi Eric,
It would be more elegant , if you can classify this orders logically and provide two user interfaces one for each type.
But coming back to your question , if you are planning to implement the process in BPM , you could utilize the capabilities of BRM for this purpose . BRM comes with CE 7.1 and works in conjunction with BPM.
[BRM Help|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-rules-management]
Once you want a complete roll out , you can remove the BRM decision making.Logically this would solve the purpose. ccBPM is not really positioned for this approach. It can be used when you need to interact with multiple systems using different protocols.
Caveat : The use of BPM will restrict your UI to WebDynpro Java (atleast for now). The whole process needs to be built around webservices or RFCs.

Created Quiz in Captivate 4. How can I create a report on Question Level

I have created a quiz in Captivate 4. I would like to create a report on question level. for e.g., I'd like to determine the no. of users that answered wrong on specific question consistently. This helps us to go back and tweak the quiz to make it more learning friendly.

Hi there
This is normally handled by virtue of installing a Learning Management System (LMS). You then upload the Captivate into the LMS and the LMS handles aggregating and keeping track of performance.
Captivate does offer an E-Mail reporting function, but it's far from reliable and not remotely secure. Additionally you would be forced to hand tally and track responses if you are fortunate enough for it to actually SEND responses.
Cheers... Rick

I would still defend myself saying that this has already been answered...
I just did a search on SDN and found a post that would answer your question....
Re: Help desk& rollup
you are looking at L1 and L2 support....
The thread was locked because the question is already answered ( or discussed about ) in another post and you can get your answers faster by just searching....
Also if you do find the answers fetched as not being correct or accurate enough - you would need to mention that you did search the forums before posting. This way questions which have already been answered are not brought up again and it ends up with others doing the searching for you which paints a wrong picture...
Also in some cases L1 teams are merged with the company's existing L1 support desk to avoid confusion but follow similar rules as mentioned in the link and simlarly L2 - when you have multiple systems being supported by a central support team you get such scenarios where L1 and L2 are on-shore.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.
Hello,
I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
but I need to ask questions.
Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

For starters,
DO:
Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
Try to understand their level of computer literacy
Keep your conversation non-technical
Continue to interact with the users during the design and
development process
Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
project progresses
DON'T:
Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
Talk down to them
Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
requirements and they have approved them

Basic Information about Organizational Level & Org. level value.

Hello Experts,
I am new to the field of SAP and security. I have the following questions:
1. What is an organizational level & org. level value? What do they represent? How do they matter in PFCG?
2. What is a derived role and what is its usage?
I appreciate your help regarding this. If you could point me to some documentation regarding this that will be very helpful.
Regards, Ben

Ben,
I am new to the field of SAP and security. I have the following questions:
1. What is an organizational level & org. level value? What do they represent? How do they matter in PFCG?
if you want to restrict on region vice (best use org level & values (plant,company code, sales org)
In role u will notice them in red color
2. What is a derived role and what is its usage?
Derived role inherits menu struture and the function from the parent role. Derived role do not differ in their functionalities(identical menu & trans) but have different characterticts with regard to Org levels.
Eg1; Master role
PFCG -> role name -> create->menu->enter tcodes-.Auth tab->export mode->read old status and merge with new data->Pop for org levels (give a full access)->see to that everything is green->generate it.
http://e-mory.blogspot.com/2007/12/sap-pfcg-create-role.html
Eg2: Derived role
pfcg->role name->create->in describtion tab towards right enter the master role name->Auth tab->export mode->read old status and merge with new data->you will get a pop for org levels (here you can restrict on plant lvel,purchasing group,company code....)
->let say for plant : 1000 ->generated / user comparssion
Once the role is added to the user. User will be albe to see only those plant related details (1000) (i.e he will have access to only plant 1000)
suppose if the user enters 2000,he will get a error message saying no access to 2000
NOTE: Any changes to the role should be done in master role (like adding tcodes)

How dynamically get an agent f a level-by-level workflow after PO changed

Hi all:
     I'm trying to create a level-by-level workflow after PO changed, but how dynamically get an agent and how assign it to
task dynamically?
    Thank you very much!!!

Hi Sony,
There are diffrent ways to get agent level by level....it depends from where you are getting the agents.
1>Suppose you have 2 level PO worklfow and my agents are stored in some custom table:-
    level1 -- agent1
    level2 --agent2
2> You can create two attributes in your BO i;e zgent1& zagent2.
3> Inside the attributes zagent1 u will get the actual agents from custom table by putting code
   i.e select agent1 into zagent1 from zcus_tab where level = 1.
4> Inside the attributes zagent1 u will get the actual agents from custom table by putting code
   i.e select agent1 into zagent1 from zcus_tab where level = 2.
5> Now generate the BO...and test it ..u will se the user id of agents in the attributes populated.
6> Now bind these both attributes to workflow container.
7> Use attribute ZAGENT1 for level 1 approval task in worlfow.
8> Use attribute ZAGENT2 for level 2 approval task in worlfow.
The values will comes dynamically from custom table...which u will maintain.

Howto trigger an update of SCEP at the end of the task sequence?

Hi,
Howto trigger an update of SCEP at the end of the task sequence?
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Do you know if the command is running in WinPE mode or full-OS mode? You might try wrapping the command into a .bat or .cmd file and then running that through the task sequence.
Edit - I don't know how you're doing your task sequence initializing (e.g. unknown computers, OSD imaging collections, etc), but do you have a Client Policy (not Endpoint Protection Policy) set to allow SCEP to be managed? And if so, how are your imaged
PC's getting into the collection to be managed. Same for SCEP updates.
What I wonder is if your PC's know they have updates deployed to them. That command line, if I remember right, will search for your internal update server, aka WSUS/SCCM for updates. If the device does not have SCEP updates deployed to it, that
command will do nothing. If you add -MMPC to the end of it the device will download from Microsoft.
There's a setting client setting for Endpoint protection called Disable Alternate Sources for the Initial Update. What is that set to? Sorry, I know I just threw a bunch of information at you and asked a lot of questions.

Supply Area-BOM Level by Level

Hi Folks,
I am having a problem in fetching the Supply area when a Component is having many sub-assemblies.
To be in detail,
I am fetching the DISTINCT Production Order(AUFNR) from MSEG w.r.t to MBLNR and MJAHR.
Then w.r.t to this AUFNR I am fetching the BOM category(STLTY) and BOM (STLNR).
Then w.r.to this STLTY and STLNR I am fetching the Supply area(PRVBE).
If the supply area is maintained at this level,then fine.If this BOM is having many sub-Assemblies and the supply area is maintained at a different level then we need to explode that BOM step by step and fetch the Supply Area.
To be precise CS11 gives the Supply Area according to the BOM Level by Level.I just wanna fetch the Supply Area as per that.Do anyone here has an idea about how this functionality can be achieved.
I am trying to find by debugging CS11,any valuable inputs from experts here will be helpful.
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

Can we move back an instance from end to previous activity?

Hi,
Using Oracle BPM WL 10.3 MP2, Can we move back an instance from end to previous activity? If yes are there any ways to make this happen? I guess that instances which are aborted cannot be brought back from end activity? but not sure.
Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks,
-Sree

If the instance was aborted due to an exception, you could have an exception handler which would allow you to handle the error, and then retry if desired...
However, once the instance is at End, its done...

Binary Tree (insert level by level)

Hello,
I'm trying to program a binary tree. It's totally clear for me to insert new (Integer) Values in an ordinary binary tree.
I simply have to check if the root is equal (--> ready) smaller or larger than the value. I repeat this until I reached a leaf and then I insert a new node.
BUT:
My teacher gave me following problem: Inserting values level by level. The first element is the root, the leftson of the root is nuber2 the rightson of the root is number3
The leftson of root's leftson is number4, the rightson of root's leftson is number 5, the leftson of root's rightson is number 6 and so on.
I have NO idea how to program that.
For example: the 23rd element is in the tree: left, right, right, right, whilst the 24th element is right, left, left, left.
I cannot find a recursive structure, that solves the problem.
Perhaps YOU can save me from gettin' mad ;o)
I really hope so.

It's not quite clear what you mean by level-by-level (at least not to me). The structure of a binary tree depends in the insert order. If you insert 1,5,2,8 the tree will look different to when you insert 1,2,3,4. In the last case the tree actually has degenerated to a linked list (there are only rightsons).
Now, to minimize the number of levels (if that's what this is about) there's a technique called balancing. In a perfectly balanced binary tree each level is filled before a new level is started. This is quite complicated. Search the net or look in some data structures textbook for balanced binary trees.
