Nakisa vs. Org Publisher Premiere

Any input on using Nakisa or Org Publisher for org charting? We are researching both applications and I would be interested to hear about any experiences (good and bad) using both tools. We will be using it mainly for org charting and basic master data visualizations at first, with the potential to integrate talent management/succession planning in the future.
Many thanks in advance!

I have used OrgPublisher for more than 3 years. The purpose of using OrgPublisher was to retrieve Personnel and Organisation Data from SAP automatically and publish it in the web for whole company (more than 6000 employees)
I am sure you are already aware of how strong Org Publisher is on displaying Organisation data already and how flexible and easy to use it even for a shop floor personnel. I like to talk about more on the points that we sometimes forget to think about when analysing new software.
1) OrgPublisher for SAP Solutions (Some call it SAP Connector)
OrgPublisher for SAP Solutions comes as a package with ready output formats, wizards to use. It is very friendly and you can easily customise new Output Formats to download any information from any Infotype of PA & OM. There are ready user-exits enable you to perform certain specific actions. Most importantly you do not need any consultant for you to do this. Any IT Analyst with basic PA&OM knowledge can easily start using this solution by just reading user manuals and that's what I did. I have never attended to any training and I am able to develop sophisticated formats in a day.
Wizards are very practical and allows you to develop simple formats without any training at all.
You rarely need support of OrgPublisher from Aquire due to its simplicity and bug free solution but when you need the support, it is very quick and resolves issues.
2) Enhanced Plugin for Web users
You can publish OrgCharts like any ordinary web page easily. There's also plug-in version (Free of charge) which enable end users to search by name or any field (For example by age, gender, employee status, employee group etc...), it is like a mini reporting tool. You can download your results or whole data to excel with one click. You can also define groups and display statistical information about the organisation.
3) Planning
This is a great functionality of Plugin that provides planning your organisation data in the web and save it to your local. You can add new positions, remove positions, rename them for planning purposes in your Internet Explorer. It is again very friendly.
I do not know the other tool but it might be good to check if the other tool has these functionalities and flexibility. It is especially important to have flexibility on the SAP side.

Org Publisher

Hi,
I am trying to configure Org Publisher output types. I have configured custom output types with additional fields and filters.
The problem is when i run the report /EHR/SOL71_ORGPUB with selection root orgunit, It picks up only the data related to Orgunit.
I am not able to see the employee number, name in the output.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks
Jay

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your response. We have a licensed software. They have manually extracted the data and feeding into Orgpub and publishing it in their local intranet site.
The requirement is to automate the whole process and publish the chart in ESS&MSS. I know the procedure for automation. I am struck with one issue.
I have made a copy of the output type /EHR/MAX and extracted the file by using the report /EHR/SOL71_ORGPUB. But when I open file using OrgPublisher, it doesnt show in a tree format. it just dumps all the employees in one single box.
But if I extract using /EHR/MAX, it is displaying in tree format. What could be the problem??
Thanks
Jay

Where to configure Org Publisher in IMG?

Hi All,
I need to know the basics of org publisher, what is it? how is it used and most important thing how and where to configure org publisher in IMG?If anybody has any material and links please pass it on.Any kind of help is appreciated. Thankyou.

Hi,
OrgPublisher integrates easily with SAP. When you install the SAP version, transports are provided that you can install in your SAP server (4.7, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0). A fully functional trial is available for download and good for 30 days 10,000 objects. A getting started guide, an installation guide and functional guide come with the installation. Once the transports are installed, there are two main transactions you can execute. The transactions are:
/n/ehr/sol71_orgpub = extracts data from SAP based on a collection of instructions called an output format.
/n/ehr/sol71_img = various functions, including powerful wizards that let you map fields and set filters
The interface comes with predefined output formats. You can copy an existing format and modify the copy to extract the desired fields you wish to display in the org chart using the wizard for Output Formats. The field mapping contains a large number of fields and the Wizard for Additional Fields can map other fields that may not be listed in the Output Format wizard. Table configuration is also possible for further customization.
Once the data is extracted, you format the org chart using the OrgPublisher application and publish it as a web based solution for end users or as needed by your company.
Let me know if you need any additional info.

SAP TVN (Talent Visualization by Nakisa) // Historical Org Chart

Hello Experts,
Would you please let me know if it is possible to get the historical org chart from Nakisa. We are looking at few products and not sure which one can serve our needs. Therefore, we would like to know if Nakisa has capability to get the Org Chart (in PDF format) on a specific past date (say if the company wants to know how the org chart was looking 6 months ago!).
Thank you very much.
saplover

Hello Evani,
Thank you very much for your response on this. Now Nakisa on enhancement pack 4, can it be used to get the historical org chart. Please confirm if this functionality is available.
Thank you very much.

Publishing Premiere video to Flash

Might someone be able to point me to a tutorial on how to
publish a Adobe Premiere CS4 video to a Flash CS4 web page? I did
STFW, but I am not finding anything. I guess I am searching for the
wrong thing:(
Sam

Has anybody ever used one or recommend one. Preferably free. < </div>
You're on your own there. But if you find one you lie, please come back and let us know which one you used.
The buzz around Flash is still bigger than the reality as witnessed by your misunderstanding. it is NOT a univresal solution to anything and it comes with a heavy learning curve.
Flash is a super efficient visual technology that uses, when it can, the host computer to build images. This keeps the files really small. However, this trick only works with vector images. Video must be rasterized so the Flash version of any QT file is going to be about the same size. Flash has the advantage of offering universally available free players. QT and WMV are proprietary and the two owners have conflicting agendas about global domination. Adobe wants to rule the world, too, but Flash is free and will run on anything anywhere anytime.
Drop by adobe.com and spend a few days trying to figure it out.

Org Publish

Experts please help .
Issue :
when trying to get the org chart through PPOME, the system pulls Job codes instead of position codes. The same problem does not exist when we try to pull the org chart through PPOM_OLD. Could someone please advice as to how to fix it ASAP?
Thanks so much.
Anu

Hi Anu,
This is really a strange issue. Just check in which View are you in PPOME.
Good Luck

No section Org Unit Information in Nakisa OrgChart

Hello
We have faced a problem during the customization of the Nakisa OrgChart.
I go to Nakisa Admin Console - OrgChart - Hierarchies - Organizational structure - Details Designer. There are two sections which must be displayed in Nakisa OrgChart: Org Unit Information and Manager Information. The profile tab contains the same sections. But I can see only Manager Information section in the user GUI.
Where can be the problem?
Thank you

The language parameter must be EN for the OrgUnits Name in the info-type 1000. The value of this parameter was RU. This is the reason of absence of Detailed Information for OrgUnits.

Org chart from SAP HR

Dear collegues,
has anyone managed to get org. chart from SAP from standard report or HIS.
I need an org chart with org. unit manager position and below manager the employees position. Is it possible to get this from standard report or do I need a software like org. publisher.
In the standard report I have only managed to get org unit and all postition below but not functional org chart with org. unit, under that is manager position and under that postion, employees postitio.
Pls help
Thank you
Romano

Hi Harshvardhan,
i have tried what you've suggested me and now I can get the manager position in red square but I can't get other positions in that org. unit to be under the manager position. I only get org unit and all positions under that unit.
Hi Dilek,
i have tried standard reports but they don't give me the sturcture that my director wants.
They want to have org chart like this:
Org. unit
     I
     I
Manager postition
     I
     I
All other positions that are not manager
And from SAP I can only get this org chart:
Org. unit
     I
     I
All positions (manager and non manager positions) in one row
Thank you
Romano

Org Modeler 3.0 : Can't load scenario

Hi,
I'm on OrgModeler 3.0, with DB2. I tried to create a scneario and load it. In the application, it looks like it is able to create but it can't load the scenario. Here's the log. Does anyone have any idea? It looks like it is related to database. Perhaps authorization? database settings?

I am having a similar problem with Org Modeler 3.0 Microsoft SQL. On creating scenarios it lets me select the orgunit for the structure, but on the popup that checks off the creation tasks it gets stuck on "Importing data...".
I have tried it many times and there is also a create scenario button on the popup as well that looks like it just starts the process over.

Org Management Update via web

does anyone know a solution to update org. mgt data via a web serice (some kind of PPOME via web) ?
--> SAp service available ?
--> supplyer ?
--> specific developement ?
thanks in advance for your answers.
KR
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
Nothing in the SAP Standard and also Org.Publisher is only for Publishing not editing.
Also the third party certification available now with HR-OCI (see note 846057 and 931794) are only for displaying not editing.
Might be that all the checks that have to be done to validate the input end up in more or less what PPOME is.

Found a major bug in AME 6.0.1 - Anyone else experiencing this?

When exporting media from Premiere 6.0.1 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with an I7 Quad core with Hyperthreading and 16GB of Ram with NVidia Cuda card (Mercury Engine Acceleration enabled) I encounter an issue where AME hangs. I can export media fine under all but one circumstance. If the media has no "Accelerated" effects added, I can export either directly in Premiere or queued in AME with no problems. As soon as I add any ACCELERATED effects to a clip, whether it's rendered entirely or not, I can no longer export the clip in AME, yet it will export just fine in Premiere. Upon attempting to export in AME, it looks like it starts, though I see no preview of the export and the remaining time indicated just keeps climbing very quickly. A clip that will export with accellerated effects in a matter of seconds in Premiere will climb to hours remaining in AME. If I click 'Stop' on this export in AME, AME just hangs (not responding) and I must close it entirely.
This happens with various types of files exporting to any number of different codecs. The only way I can get the file to export properly with the accelerated effects in AME, is to switch the Mercury Engine Playback to Software (Cuda disabled) in Premiere first, and then encoding takes longer. Never encounted this in CS5 on the exact same machine.
One other small bug I found, is that if I create a preset with given settings for exporting having first unselected "Keyframe every 'X' frames" under the advanced settings in the video tab, when I later select that preset, the box next this setting is rechecked, despite it being unchecked when creating the preset. Also, sometimes I notice this box rechecks itself even if I just make changes under the audio settings tab.

I use the GeForce GTS 360M - of course, not a supported card, though using the CUDA hack, so guessing most people will attribute it to this. Though did not have this issue with CS5. Found someone here with the exact same problem, though with an officially supported card:
http://www.indiev.org/2012/premiere-pro-cs5-5-workarounds/
Looks like I will just have to use this work around, by rendering my timeline first with MPE CUDA enabled, then disable it, select "keep previews," then export - at least for any clips with accelerated effects.
Not entirely sure why it would matter what the preferences are set to in Premiere when sending an export to AME. Oh well. Maybe a future update will fix this.
If I didn't travel so much, would simply build a desktop with a supported card. My Asus G51JX laptop with 8 logical cores and 16GB of ram is sufficient for the work I do, though I know some people may chime in here and say I need a system with at least 24GB of ram and a minimum of 17TB of HD space in various raid arrays.
Anyways, if anyone does find a solution, please let me know. Thank you.

Invalid XPath ?

I have a process that gets a date (format YYYY-MM-DD; forced by Console), which has to be delivered to a Webservice, that requests dates in format 'dd MMM yyyy' (24 aug 2005).
I've tried the following options (in an Assign):
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload" query="ora:formatDate('/client:bpAanvraagProcessRequest/client:DatumBemonstering', 'dd MMM yyyy')"/>
<to variable="addAanvraag_addaanvraag_InputVariable" part="pDbg"/>
</copy>And:
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload" query="xp20:format-dateTime(/client:bpAanvraagProcessRequest/client:DatumBemonstering,'[dd] [MMM] [YYYY]')"/>
<to variable="addAanvraag_addaanvraag_InputVariable" part="pDbg"/>
</copy>Both fail with the following message:
[Error ORABPEL-10076]: invalid xpath query string
[Description]: in line 68 of "L:\workspaces\BPEL\bpAanvraag\bpAanvraag.bpel", According to BPEL4WS spec 1.1, section 14.3,
the xpath query "ora:formatDate('/client:bpAanvraagProcessRequest/client:DatumBemonstering', 'dd MMM yyyy')" is invalid,
query should be an absolute location path and it must start from the root element prefixed with "/"..
[Potential fix]: Please make sure that your xpath query starts with "/" which is the root..Anyone has any ideas how to fix this?

Okey, found it:
The format-string is an XSLT 2.0 picture string, see syntax explained at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#date-picture-string
By the way:
a) w3.org publishes the function xslt:format-date(), and format it by picture. This is not offered by Oracle BPEL it seems (at least not through the Expression builder, ver 10.1.2.0.0 ).
Oracle-BPEL offers:
b) ora:formatDate(), and format it by java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
c) xp20:format-dateTime(), and format it by picture.
So I took it away by code like:
<copy>
<from expression="xp20:current-dateTime()"/>
<to variable="myDateTime"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from expression="'P21D'"/>
<my-xml-comment>The Xpath syntax (like P21D) is for specifying an xdt:dayTimeDuration of 21 days ahead, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#lexical-dayTimeDuration</my-xml-comment>
<to variable="myDuration"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from expression="xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime( bpws:getVariableData('myDateTime'), bpws:getVariableData('myDuration') )"/>
<to variable="myResultTime"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from expression="xp20:format-dateTime( bpws:getVariableData('myResultTime'), '[Y0001][M01][D01]' )"/>
<to variable="myResultTimeNOARK"/>
</copy>

Timelines and items checked as visible not showing up

I decided to simplify a project and make better use of the timeline instead of making every part of a topic a new slide. When I hit the timeline arrow or scrub through the slide, everything shows up and looks great. Yet when I preview the project, the slides are flat and don't have any of the stepped in objects I so carefully positioned. The objects are smart shapes, images and highlight boxes. Some of them I cut and pasted in. I know about how timelines work and have successfully published Premiere Pro projects. The visible in output box is checked for single item. Any ideas on why this isn’t working?

Hi Varun,
Is 4.8 sec enough duration time?
This object is not being hidden. I'm sending one of the simpler screenshots...others are more complicated but since the caption (about mobile) isn't showing up on this one then it's probably the same problem.
I've used simple objects with no effects. This is the first project I have created in Captivate so I'm keeping it simple and as a demo. One thing that gets me is the way smartshapes are given numbers...what does this mean? Could cutting and pasting a smart shape (caption) from one slide to another be causing a problem? I created my own theme, styles and template.
Any help would be much appreciated!
