OTL Self Service Time Card to OTL Timekeeper

Hi All,
I'm new to the Oracle HRMS module and have a question. Can you update OTL Timekeeper with time cards from OTL Self Service? I did read a very brief, one or two line sentence in one of the implementation manuals that said you could. However, at this point, I have researched in vein and still cannot find any information as to how or what should be done.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Gaurav,
Sure.
We would like to take the employee time cards being entered into the (OTL Self Service Time Entry) and once approved, have them automatically populate the OTL Timekeeper by employee. These employees are already defined in various Timekeeper groups. Once the supervisor opens up that group in Timekeeper they will be able to export those employee time records to an excel spreadsheet for further data manipulation. That's our end goal.
The question I have is, how does the upload from (OTL Self Service Time Entry to OTL Timekeeper) happen?
Does it happen once the employee time card has been approved?
or
Do you have to launch some type of concurrent job, etc?
I just can't find that process answer and what if anything that needs to be done.
Again, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Any idea on Self-Service Time, is it different module?
Has anyone done upgrade from Self-Service Time to Oracle Time? Need help to arrive at efforts required for upgrade from self-service-Time to OTL.

Oracle Self Service time

Hi,
Can anyone tell me that how to have default into oracle self service time. For e.g suppose if i have not submitted time card from 6/12-6/18 then in the week of 6/19 - 6/25, I should see the timecard for 6/12-6/18 in oracle self service time not for 6/19-6/25

Unless you are on R12.1, you can't control this value. If you are on 12.1, Default Timecard Period has been added to preference Self Service Timecard Period for a Worker, where the following options are available:
Period on or after system date
Earliest Period prior to system date
Closest Period prior to system date

Self Service Time Customization

Hi Friends
I have a requirement to include an option button / listbox to show where the consultant worked. That is either onsite or offsite in Self Service Time Application. We are in 11.5.10 version.
We dont have any descriptive flexfields in this HTML based application.
How can i do this. ? Please suggest me
Regards
Rajkumar

OTL Timecard selfservice pages are not true OA pages and are based out of LDT layout files. There are wrapper classes over OA beans and a custom rendering engine to render the timecards. There are still some references to AK and hence the corresponding changes. We can directly use LOV OA regions on 11.5.10+ instances along with the LDT changes, but I still won't suggest that.

OTL/HXC - Adding Help Link to Self Service Time Entry (TcActivitiesPG)

Hello folks,
I'm a system analyst newly assigned to handling Oracle HR at my job. One thing I'm looking into is the possibility of adding a link to help documentation on our intranet (i.e. outside of Oracle) to the page where employees enter their time (using Self Service OTL). The problem is that no matter how much I look at personalizations for this page, I can't seem to track down a page element that could be used for that. I know there should be something, but I'm not having any luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? How would you add an arbitrary link at the top (or bottom) of the self service timecards?

We're in the process of upgrading to R12; is it possible to add or custom links through personalization there, or is it still something that can only be done via customization? (We can certainly do the latter, but were hoping for a solution that didn't require it.)

OTL Self Service Error Message

We use OTL Timekeeper functionality for entering time, but want to switch to some Self Serve OTL time entry also. The error messages we are currently using work fine in OTL. The overtime rule goes out, validates the time entered, and returns an error apparopriately. When I try this in Self Service, I get the following errors:
The Oracle error is: ORA-20000: ORA-20001:ORA-20001: Formula KCI_JEAN_TEST_TOKEN: ORA-01403: no data found ORA-01403: no data found Cause: During the PL/SQL execution part, an Oracle error was detected. Action: Please refer to your system administrator..
I am unsure why. If I enter time in Timekeeper, it tells me I don't have enough regular time to charge overtime. However in self serve, I just get this weird message.
Ideas? I can post my entire fast formula (it calls a pl/sql function to do the actual verification that return any errors found to the fast formula) if you are interested.

I wrote this code to test the passing of Tokens and it works perfectly. The messages come out condensed into two messages with tokens.

This one keeps returning the no data found error I listed up top whenever it runs. I'm not really understanding what the issue is though... obviously something with the KCI_OVERTIME_VALIDATION. However the KCI_OVERTIME_VALIDATION runs currently in the current fastformula and it works great without tokens. It returns message1..5 without an error and reads correctly. However as soon as I try and put it in here with tokens, it starts giving me the no data found errors.
Please note - this works great with Timekeeper, but in Self Service OTL it returns the error.

OTL & Self Service Module on internet

Hi,
We are using OTL and self service module in R12.1.3/11gr2. We are looking to deploy OTL and Self Service to be on Internet but other modules are not like GL etc. Employee don't need to come secure office connection and do their work or submit time sheet etc. Please point me if any ML document or presentation , how to configure OTL and Self service module on internet.
thanks

Hi,
All you have to do is assign the profile Responsibility Trust Level to a responsibility which users want to access outside the secured area.
Make sure the value is External for this profile.
If you want to give access to only a set of functions under a responsibility, then you will have to create a new responsibility.
Cheers,

Defaulting the Expenditure Type field in OTL self service screens

Hello,
I am having a requirement in OTL to provide the default value for the Expenditure Type in Self Service Screens.
I have tried to set the attribute “HXC_CUI_EXPTYPE2_LOV” by extending the TimecardCO. But it did not work.
Can somebody guide me on this issue?
Regards,
Munish

[ There original post I made is incorrect. The classes/shared libraries need only to be available to the server - they do not need to be available to ALDSP Studio, since the database is access via the server. Double check that the required classes/shared libraries for your jdbc driver are available to your server ]
I searched our CR database for the stacktrace/error that you have and found serveral CR. Most of them indicate the problem was jar file(s) for the jdbc driver were not present in the client classpath. So - whatever you added to the server classpath (and PATH - if there were also shared object libraries) - we need to add those to the ALDSP Studio (eclipse) classpath (PATH).
you can put the jar(s) in
aldsp_3.0\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_3.0.0
and modifying
aldsp_3.0\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_3.0.0\META-INF/manifest.mf.
There are two places in manifest.mf you will need to add the jar file - once under Bundle-Classpath and once under Export-Package.

Split up of Time Cards - OTL Self Service

Hi,
I have a requirement that the employee may charge his time against multiple projects. A notification is issued to the corresponding supervisors.
When the supervisor logs in, he has to see only his project related details.
Is there any way I can restrict data of other projects popping in...

user535605,
Check the project manager approval style. It will provide you what you are looking for. I am assuming that by supervisor you mean the corresponding the project manager.

OTL Self Service Customisation Question

I am currently going through our implementation of OTL and I am looking to make a few changes, I have a reasonable grasp of most of it and how it all fits together but I can't for the life of me figure out one thing.
In the ldt files for the entry/review/confirmation etc, the code is referring to all kinds of fields which appear to be references to values in the timecard.
These include stuff like hxccuiprojectid, hxccuitaskprojectid, hxccuitetprojectid.
These values seem very similar to the a few we have setup in the AK Regions but I can not find the full set in there..
Can anyone tell me where the hell these values are setup and what exactly they point to, or is there some kind of variable format you use which Oracle just understands and it's just not very well documented?

Hi,
I had a look at document 788130.1 and while I am not currently having problems with the length of attribute6 there is mention of changing the AK Attributes.
The problem I have is there does not appear to be all the attributes being referenced in attribute6 present as AK attributes.
Basically I can't find the attributes such as hxccuittaskprojectid, etc....

Adding comment in the OTL Timecard ( in both timekeeper entry & Self-Service)

Hi all,
I need to add a new comment field in the timecard (both the timekeeper entry page & the Timecard Self-Service page).
I am going through the white paper "Configuring The Oracle Time and Labor Timecard User Interface" currently.
what i understand is modifying the LDT file will allow me to add the desired comment in the TimeCard Self Service page, while I need it to be exist in the Timekeeper Entry page also.
i should be able to enter the employee timecard with my comment in the new comment field using the timekeeper entry page and submit it for approval. The approver should be able to review and see my comment in the employee timecard self service page.
what are the required steps to have the new comment field exist in both layouts?
also, is it possible to add the comment not as a new column, can we add the field just beside the seeded comment in the Timekeeper Entry down beside the Select All/Deselect All button?
Note: I am using the Payroll TimeCard Layout.
Thanks for any help.

OTL Time Card issue in Self Service

Hi All,
I am working in OTL. I m new to this module. Currently i am facing the below issue.
In OTL, there is a validation of project and task when user enters time card.
Whenever user enters time cards against the hour type which is not of PTO (e.g. regular) etc, project number
and project task should be mandatory.
It is working fine in OTL Time Keeper, but not working in Self Service Time Card.
I am analyzing the issue but not getting the exact solution for the same.
Kindly reply me to resolve it.
Thanks in Advance

Basaw

OTL: Time Cards

Hi,
So far I have created timekeeper timecards. Now Im moving to self service time cards.My question is, like how we add the fields that we want in Time Keeper timecard using the preference 'Timekeeper Layout Attributes', is there anything available for self service timecards?
So is it that like how I change my timekeeper timecards just using prefrences, I cant do the same in SSHR. Should I use personalization framework, create my own timecard layout and then use it?
Please share your thoughts.
Tks.

KKN,
Because layout changes involves view changes, query modification and use of FNDLOAD command besides many other things, it is not completely a functional area but again it is not completely a technical thing. Either you should be a bit techie or should have a techie around for little help.
Coming to costing field, by default it is mapped to an independent value set called "US#Cost Center" in the seeded LDT file. So just define this value set and whatever values you have in it, will appear on the timecard.
