Multiple Languages for Performance Management

Hello,
We are investigating how to allow multiple languages within the appraisal templates within our Performance Management application. Our users currently utilize a Portal entry into Performance Management where they are able to Create or Update their appraisals, all in English.
Is there a way to allow them to select a different language and then use a translator somehow? Is there anything delivered to handle this?
Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated!
Mary Ann

Hi mary ,
Priya has pointed in the right direction .
PM appraisal template can be translated in any language maintained in table T002 .
around 41 different languages are supported by sap .
1) once you right click on the element and select the translation option , you would be asked for
target language .
2) On identifying the target language , a dual panned screen appears where you can have a look at
original and target language .
hope this helps
thanks,

Designate multiple languages for a Business Partner

In the province of Quebec (Canada), contacts for a Business Partner can either be French or English. When creating a Marketing Document, I would like to be able to use the Language setting found under the Logistics Tab to select either a French or English version of a PLD template that is marked as default for that client.
This means that a BP can be associated to multiple language versions of the same PLD.

Thanks for your reply.
I need the have each LOS ( Location of sale or location of delivery) of Business Partner because we will deliver items for the LOS and not for BP.
As we also need to control (serial numbers) items & services ( field management) I also need to have the LOS as BP.
As example:
BP name AAA have 30 LOS.
BP AAA bought 2000 items.
BP AAA ask us to old theses items in warehouse.
BP AAA request to delivery a x quantity in LOS 1, 2,3,4,...
The invoice went to BP AAA, but the deliveries will be to each LOS of BP AAA.
As I said we need to have the field services working side-by-side with serials numbers and services for each LOS of our BP AAA.
So, we have subcustomers from big customer BP AAA.
Do we have any way of having all subcustomers(LOS) as BP, along with the real customer AAA?
Thanks in advance,

Database storage of multiple languages for name of a single entity

Surely I'm not the first person to have this problem, but I can't find many resources on how to solve this. Just some background on what I'm working with, I'm running a web application using the Struts framework with jdk 1.4 on a Weblogic 8.1 server connected to an Oracle 9i database, I'm using DAO for my persistence layer, and I'm not opposed to using any 3rd party software to assist in this task.
For example, say I have a database of DVDs, My application will retrieve the list of DVDs from the database to display to the user. Depending on the user's Locale I want to display the title of the DVD in that language.
This is a simple example, but the real-world application is much more complicated. The application is highly configurable meaning that through a configuration application, my internal users can add DVDs at any time, edit the title of the DVD, or add a new language that they want the title to display in, etc. When a customer logs in to the application front-end they will be able to change the language they want the application to display in at any time, and the application will need to reflect that change. The display of constant text like field labels and page text is easy using Struts but its this configurable dynamic text thats a bit more difficult.
Its obvious to me that I will need to store the multiple languages in the database in some way, I'm thinking of either storage in some xml format, or a new table hanging off the "dvd" table with languages for each dvd. Either of these options would work for my purposes, but I don't want to go reinvent the wheel when this same problem has arleady been solved. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

One common way to handle this is to modify your key for the dvd title to include a locale identifier:
key dvdtitle
becomes
key locale dvdtitle
Now your db can hold multiple translations of the same dvd title.

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

Additional language for lifecycle manager XI 3.1 SP3

Hello, Experts.
I have lifecycle manager XI 3.1. I would like to transfer reports, connections and etc. from dev to test and prod in landscape, but my reports have Russian language. In Promotion Jobs i see "????????????????" instead of Russian names.
How can i installed additional language for LCM XI 3.1?
I have installed SP3, but it didn't help me, In folders of SP3 and SP4 i see, that folders with name RU, DE and etc. is empty. Language pack is present only in EN folder.
Please, help me.
Regards,
Denis

JC:
It would be good to know information on distributed deployments;
such as how to handle upgrades on machines that are distributed/firewalled off..and HA machines..etc..
More information needed on Unix deployment, I always find the guides are weak when it comes to unix information.
Also: There needs to a way to communicate clearly; the upgrade scenarios.
The table of that information was good in the past.
Example: IF you are on SP1...then do this
if you are on SP2 then do this
if you are on SP1 with any FP do this..etc...
As many installation scenario that can be covered in a TABLE should be presented...that way you get customer types.
ALSO; Information about deployments with SAP customers (BW or ECC)..duh..that is obvious, the SP3 materials should have tons on that, but it's lacking.
Personally I think there should be a separate SAP IK SP3 upgrade GUIDE!!! why not.....BOBJ and SAP are one right...why not provide MORE info for your customers that are hybrid (SAP + BOBJ)...
Thanks,

Issues while loading the Menu in Infoview for Performance Manager

Hi,
I have been seeing intermittent issues with the menu getting loaded when I click on the Performance Manager tab in Java Infoview. I am working on BOXI R2 SP2.8 on Windows 2003 Server with Oracle 10g as our Database. I have been working with BO tech Support to find out the resolution but so far they have been unsuccessfull in finding the root cause of the issue.
I have tried enabling the logs (Performance Manager) I have checked on the Tomcat Logs (Application Server) and have tried to check the AF_Verbose logs which atually pointed to errors with web.xml however there is no other error pertaining to it. The issue comes up intermittently and sometimes the menu does load successfully but most of the times it is not able to load the Menu for Corporate dashboard.
Any input on this would be very helpfull.

Available Languages for Solution Manager

Hello Experts,
I am implementing the Business Blueprint within Solution Manager (transaction Solar01 etc.)
Our customer wants to know if the language Dutch is available and of course if it is constistent/complete. I have heared that it isn't complete and I would like to know this for sure before we install the Dutch Lanaguage.
One of the questions is for example; are the scenario's, processes and process steps (in solar 01) also translated into Dutch.
Can anybody tell me if this is provided by SAP??
Thanks

Hello Van,
the Solution Manager 4.0 is not available in Dutch language, for a list of the languages available please check note 892412, point 8!
If you would like to use e.g. the Service Desk function, you have following two possibilities:
1. You can install e.g. the Italian language for the systems, where messages should be created from by using the "Help" function. Afterwards should messages, created by customers, who have logged in to the given system in Italian, created in Italian language also in the Solution Manager system (prerequisite in this case is, that the logon language is left empty in the RFC-destination of the given satellite system). The question is only, what will you do with the texts in Italian in your Solution Manager system, as it makes no sense to logon there in Italian language. A processing of the messages e.g. in English should not be any problem by the employees working at the Service Desk.
2. You set the logon language in the RFC destination of the satellite system to e.g. English or German, then all messages will be created without any error in the defined language. A problem in this case could be, that possibly not all characters will be transported correctly, as we assume, that the text is written in English or in German, but can actually contain Italian characters, which in the other two languages do not exist. Then we could have characters, which can not be interpreted. Here you could set up rules, that e.g. all messages are to be created in English, avoiding the issue, that characters are used, which can not be interpreted.
I hope this short explanation helps you,
Cheers,
Satish.

How to manage multiple locations for Item (Management warehouse locations)

Is there any way, with UDF and Formated Search, to manage multiple locations for Item in the same warehouse
I must have several (at least 2) locations for the item in the Warehouse and that i enter in goods receipt and have track of this location and search possibilities at sales order by item and WHS.
read carefully and imagine how (Management warehouse locations)
I added a user table '@Location' who linked to a user field 'U_Location in Item master data --> lnventory data line and an ather user field 'U_Location' in sales order
I met the value of location in the table (list of locations for any warehouse), I select the location of each item while receiving merchandise in the user field of inventory data line (Item M data) and this value appears in the sales order 'U_Location' user field ( only the location value in the default warehouse for this Item)
or
create an user field 'location' in Good receipt PO to fill it while receiving merchandise that appears in the sales order to give possibility to find/select the location of the item at this order and in Item master data
I think we will use all these tables and there is a relationship between all.
@LOCATION
PDN1
OITM
OITW
OWHS
RDR1
a piece of code has been proposed, but it is not so simple
SELECT T0.U_Location FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
Thanks,
Ouchen

I believe you are talking about defining BIN's (locations) within a Warehouse.
This is quite possible and has been explained / discussed on this Forum a few times in the past. Though I am completely clear on how you would like to implement this I could give you some guidelines..
Creating a @location UDT is correct to maintain list of warehouse locations
UDF in Items - Warehouses (Item Master ..Inventory Data Tab..Rows)
UDF in Marketing Document Rows (When you add a UDF here U_Location then this will available in all marketing documents, both AR and AP)
You will define a location for an Item in the Item Master....
In the GRPO..you can use FMS to list the location/s for the Item being received from the Item Master and the User can Select it.
In the Sales Order, you can select the location from which the Item could be picked..
Let me know if your process / ideas are different

MSS Dashboard for Performance Management - PMP vs Flexi-Form

Hello Experts,
I have the following problem in Performance Management.
We have decided to use PMP template for some employees (manager level) and Flexi-form for remaining employees (because we have pre-defined criteria in template that PMP UI is not showing).
I found that PMP dashboard in MSS is only showing PMP appraisals.
When manager opens Flex-form UI, it is showing all appraisals that the manager is responsible for (PMP & Flexi) and when the manager clicks on an employee's appraisal document link, it is always displaying the document in Flexi UI mode.
If a manager is having half of his employees using PMP and other half using Flexi-form, what is the best way for him to look at Dashboard (initial screen to open employee's appraisals), so that for PMP appraisals will open with PMP UI and Flexi appraisals will open with Flexi UI?
Thanks

Hi Raghu,
So i was wrong about it being portal development, glad I finally figured out how to do it.
configuring the "quick criteria maintenance":
It can be done by config following this post: Define default value in POWL Quick Criteria Maintenance for all users
regarding assessment, it doesn't work for you, b/c you probably haven't done the configuration. go to talent management and talent development > talent assessment.
here you wil have to read all the IMG activities, the documentation is decent on how to implement. Basically with EP4, there are new types of assessment that a manager can do besides just performance, this includes assessing potential, risks, barriers, and development plans. all of these assessments processes tie into downstream talent management processes such as talent review meetings and succession planning. hope this helps.

Choose multiple languages for OCR in a pdf document?

I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro (version 10.1.12) for OCR. Two scenarios:
1. I have a scanned pdf file, which has English for text, and English and Greek letters for math symbols and formulas. How shall I specify the languages for OCR, so that both can be recognized?
2. I have another scanned pdf file, which has Chinese for text, and English and Greek letters for math symbols and formulas. How shall I specify the languages for OCR, so that all the three can be recognized?
Thanks!

I do not think that is possible.
Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Recognize Text - General Settings dialog box
I do not know if there is a dedicated OCR package that can do what you want.

Multiple Languages for Area pages, subarea pages, links, etc

Is there a language setting that can be used to display the configured text on the area pages, subarea pages, links, etc in different languages or do I have to configure multiple language versions of my areas pages, subarea pages, links, etc?

Hi DM
As per my knowledge.
Area pages texts, Service Texts don't have Multiple Languages configurations option.
Based user logon language text will chnage dynamically.

Captivate 7, closed captions in multiple languages for YouTube

Hi,
I'm creating a tutorial that is destined for YouTube. The tutorial has voice over-lay in English. I need to create closed captioning for several languages (e.g. Spanish, French, Portuguese) for YouTube. The Closed Captions will appear coincide with the voice over-lay on each slide, but the voice over-lay will always be in English.
Has anyone else ever done this? I've studied up on the Closed Captioning guidelines for YouTube. I can easily create the Closed Captioning for each language using their guidelines. However, I need to understand how to locate the exact timing of each slide such as shown in the example below.
Example:
3
00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:10,880
>> ALICE: Today we'll be teaching you how to make
our famous chocolate chip cookies!
Thank you for your help!

Captivate provides no really easy way to get these time indexes across the entire project. You can watch the time being shown at the bottom of the TOC if you want and make notes based on that. But the CC Slide Audio dialog only shows the timing for each individual slide unless you have a single audio clip spread over multiple slides.
So you might be in for a considerable amount of tedium.
