OTL Time Calculation

Hi,
We are having a strange requirement in terms of OTL hour calculation. We are using payroll layout and military time format (HHmm) to capture time for hourly employees.
On the time card entry page, when you click "Recalculate", you see the total for each day in hours decimal format (e.g. Start: 0800 End: 1212 total: 4.2). However, the customer wants to see it like 4.12 or say 4:12 (something like that). where it shows both hours and minutes.
How do we achieve this? If it needs customization, what kind of customization?
Any pearls of wisdom would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

I believe this would require the timekeeper form bespoking. Be warned though, it's not a nice form - it builds itself up dynamically based upon preference values etc. Our developers hate doing anything with it! :)

OTL: Time Entry Rules

Hello ,
Iam working on a requirement, in OTL time card entry from the oracle self service page.
If Employees work on Holidays then they are allowed to enter work Hours .
Eg:
Mon, 25 dec
Regular: start 08:00
stop 12:00
hrs 04
Holiday: start 08:00
stop 17:00
Hrs 8
Iam getting the Overlapping Error as 'This time overlaps another entry.' when trying to save the timecard.
Is there any way, I can override this Error.
Can anyone Please help on this ?
thanks,
Babu

Ramesh,
OTL doesn't allow the over lapping entries, its one of the basic validations. But at the same time you can define OTL rules to configure this requirement which will automatically generate the holiday premium hours as per your requirement. There are many scenarios which you can configure to define the calculation of premium hours worked on holidays.

Welcome to the forum!!
Please read {message:id=9360002} from the FAQ to know the list of details (WHAT and HOW) you need to specify when asking a question.
I primarily hate 3 things in your code
1. The way you have used BULK update which is totally unnecessary
2. COMMIT inside LOOP
3. The use of WHEN OTHERS exception.
Your code can be simplified like this
create or replace procedure my_proc
is
   v_start_time timestamp;
   v_end_time   timestamp;
   v_rowcnt     integer;
begin
   for c1 in (
                 select rownum tab_no
                      , tablename
                      , type
                   from table_list
   loop
      sql_string := q'[
                              merge into #tablename# a
                              using (
                                      select id, dt
                                        from emp_base
                                    ) b
                                 on (
                                      a.empkey = b.empkey
                                when matched then
                                    update set a.id = b.id;
      sql_string := replace(sql_string, '#tablename#', c1.tablename);
      v_start_time := systimestamp;
      execute immediate sql_string;
      v_end_time   := systimestamp;
      v_rowcnt     := sql%rowcount;
      insert into exec_time
           values
                c1.tab_no || ' ' || c1.tablename
              , v_start_time
              , v_end_time
              , v_end_time - v_start_time
              , v_rowcnt
   end loop;
   commit;
end; In the INSERT statement on the table EXEC_TIME try to include the column list.

OTL Time Cards to PA Integration. - All Time cards are imported into One OU

Hi,
At our site, we have implemented OTL to support PA. (No Payroll/HRMS).
We have created multiple selfservice Time Resp for each Operating Units. The MO Operating Unit for the responsibility is set to corresponding OU for each responsibility.
The issue is that,
When the Time cards are approved and the PRC: Transaction Import is ran for each operating unit (again difft responsibility for each OU), it is not importing the time cards into the respective OU in PA. Rather When we run the PRC: Transaction Import in US operating unit, all the Timecards are imported in the US OU.
We found, For all the OTL time cards, the ATTRIBUTE1 for the "SECURITY" Attribute category is 84 (which is US OU) in hxc_time_attributes table.
which configruation controls this ? Why the MO: Operating Unit is not used to populate the value or is there any other profile which needs to be set to get the right OU?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chidambaram

Please check and confirm whether you have the profile 'HR:Business Group' set to corresponding BGs for the respective time entry responsibilities.

How is Processing time calculated in Simulation

Hi,
How is processing time calculated for every simulation-relevant object?
say for example,
i have 2 objects of person type (p1 and p1)
4 human tasks (T1, T2, T3, T4)
T1 assigned to p1, processing time 2hrs
T2 assigned to p1, processing time 2hrs
T3 assigned to p2, processing time 2hrs
T4 assigned to p2, processing time 2hrs
start --> T1(p1) --> T2(p1) --> T3(p2) --> T4(p2) --> end
Have not set any other simualtion parameters. now,
* Duration for simulation is set to 6hrs,
T1, T2, and T3 are getting processes once, but start event is getting processed twice
# Why is start event getting processed second time?
# Will this take any processing time..
* Duration for simulation set to 7hrs,
start event and T1 gets processed 2 times, T2 and T3 once..
and the total processing time becomes *8hrs*..
# At wht point of time does the second processing of T1 start.
# If it is not after after the completion of one full process cycle, in this case, why not the second processing start at the end # of 2nd hour, or 4th hour.
Thanks,
Vishnupriya

Hi Vishnupriya,
"Why is start event getting processed second time?"Can you check the "Frequency" attribute of your start event? There you can specify how often the process will be triggered.
"At wht point of time does the second processing of T1 start."You should be able to check it in the Processes (det.). It provides an overview regarding the process instances started during the simulation run. Furthermore you can check the Events (det.) category.
Best regards,
Danilo

Ess Leave Request -Change in Time calculation without changing work schedu

Hi All,
We are implementing a ESS Leave Request in EP6 with backend HR ECC5.0.
The time calculation is taken from the Work schedule rule in
HR backend which is 24*7.
For example if the leave taken is for 2 days-systems calculates as 24*2=48 hrs
but in actual the requirement is to calculate 2*8 =16 hrs without changing
the Work Schedule in 2001 infotype in HR Backend.
Can we do this change through
1.Validation in portal itself
2.Changing the RFC PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK
3.Changing the Absence Types

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

OTL Time card versions issue

Hi,
For a particular timecard.
The timesheet has 2 versions. The days has 2 versions, but the detail have 3. So the max version number on the timesheet is 2. The max version number on the DAYS is 2. But the max version number in the detail is 3.
My joins work as follows:
timesheet.time_building_block_id=<timecard id>
timeday.parent_building_block_id=timesheet.time_building_block_id and timeday.parent_building_block_ovn=timesheet.object_version_number and
timedetail.parent_building_block_id=timeday.time_building_block_id and
timedetail.parent_building_block_ovn=timeday.object_version_number
Because of this, I am reporting incorrect results.
A) Is this normal?
B) How should I handle this?

Scout: Too much time calculating dirty regions

Hi All,
Frist of all, sorry for my English.
I have a problem with my AIR App, I'm developing for Android and iOS. In iOS works perfectly but on Android the performance is poor.
I checked with Scout and this is what i see:
I don't understand why it spends so much time calculating dirty regions but I didn't change anything on the DisplayList.
Edit: AS you can see in the screen the frames are 13 but in the next frames is over 200 frames and that repeats.
Can someone tell me how to interpret this results?
Thanks a lot.

Mensaje editado por: goratz

The feature you are referring to exists in Logic but not in GarageBand (yet?). It is called the Marquee Tool that lets you drag a selection, and when hitting the delete key, that section of the Region(s) will be deleted, and the remaining part of the Region on the right will be moved to the left to close the gap (if you you have set the Drag Mode to "Shuffle L").
Hope that helps

Warning Time calculation "Before Aggregation" is obsolete

Hi,
Recently in our project we have upgraded BW 3.0B to BI7.
After upgrade to BI7, when we run some of the reports we are getting a warning message as below -
Warning Time calculation "Before Aggregation" is obsolete.
Pls refer to the attachment.
Any of our satyam colleagues encounter this warning, if so what was the solution you applied.
Note : I found some notes in Forum like saying use ' Exception Aggregation' for the Before Aggregation.. etc etc., but my problem is in our project thre are many CKFs are there which are using 'Before Aggregation'.
Please let me know if you have any other alternatives.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Try SAP notes 935903.
Symptom
Calculated Key Figures "Existance Indicator" with aggregation behaviour "Before Aggregation" will get now with NW 2004s warning popup "Time of calculation 'Before Aggregation' is obsolete" during execution.
this may be helpful.

While doing puchout user is getting Overlapping time message in OTL Time entry responsibility

while doing puchout user is getting Overlapping time message in OTL Time entry responsibility

XmlBeans, at least the version I'm working with now, doesn't support version 3 of the Document Object Model (DOM). I don't know what operations were introduced in DOM 3, but I guess you're trying to use one of them. What worked for me is to copy the Document into a DocumentBuilder that does support DOM 3, such as the JDK's own builder, and work with the copy. This should be all right if the document is not too large. The following URL has the details:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-100

Time Calculation Shell dimension is slow compared to hardcoded measure?

Hi,
I have a measuregroup with 200m+ rows with about 20 measures (sums). I've created a shell dimension to hold my time calculation members such as mtd, qtd, ytd, etc. My problem is that it performs REALLY poorly when using the time calculation dimension.
My script looks like this:
SCOPE
Measuregroupmeasures("MyMeasureGroup");
SCOPE
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[None];
THIS =
[Measures].CurrentMember;
END SCOPE;
SCOPE
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[MTD];
THIS =
Aggregate
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[None]
MTD([Date].[Calendar (YQMD)].CurrentMember)
END SCOPE;
SCOPE
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[QTD];
THIS =
Aggregate
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[None]
QTD([Date].[Calendar (YQMD)].CurrentMember)
END SCOPE;
SCOPE
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[YTD];
THIS =
Aggregate
[Time Calculation].[Calculation].&[None]
YTD([Date].[Calendar (YQMD)].CurrentMember)
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
When I use my Calendar hierarchy and time calculation dimension as a background selection it takes forever. It never returns anything. A profiler trace shows that it's just pushing 1 and 21 events (cache data).
If I create the following measure:
CREATE
MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[TestMTD] AS
SUM(MTD([Date].[Calendar (YQMD)].CurrentMember), [Measures].[MyMeasure]),
VISIBLE = 1 ;
it works just fine but the whole point here is I want to avoid creating new measure for every time calculation.
The measuregroup has been partitioned by month and I've set each partition slice to the corresponding month in the calendar hierarchy.
Why doesn't my script perform - please advice :)
Thanks.

Hi Mortenbpost,
According to your description, the issue was solved by change Aggregate() function to Sum() function, now you want to know why it behaves like that, right?
In Aggregate function, if a numeric expression is not provided, this function aggregates each measure within the current query context by using the default aggregation operator that is specified for each measure. Here is a thread which discuss difference
between AGGREGATE() and SUM()https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ef4b2555-45f2-4871-9137-a12a637ce2f5/whats-the-difference-between-aggregate-and-sum?forum=sqlanalysisservices
Besides, you can use SQL profiler to monitor what's the difference between using AGGREGATE() and using SUM().
