Outlook notification in performance management

Hi,
In the steps of MSS-Performance Management, I m getting the notifications in UWL.It's working fine. The requirement is to get the email notification in outlook also. How to achieve this, any idea?
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. I am following the below link;
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/d5/581ee8d56f1247bf34cfcd66d16d81/frameset.htm
Please let me know is it the right way to achieve the notificaitons in outlook?
If so, I need an explaination on one point. In the link it says
Create the Configuration Settings Automatically
       1.      Execute the report RSWNUWLSEL once.
The Select Work Items screen appears.
       2.      Select Reset Configuration as the mode and FULL Filter as the filter.
If I reset config - what would be the impact. I don't want to mess up with existing workflow settings. Is it ok to do this?
Thanks,

  • Oracle Performance Management - Notifications to Plan Population Members

    All:
    I've been working with Performance Management for several years and am implementing for a customer now.  They are on R12.1.3 RUP6.  We're creating notifications to be administered by the Performance Management Admin and the customer has asked for some simple definitions of the Plan Population Members & Statuses.  I created this matrix, based on my own understanding and assumptions and wanted to see if anyone could validate to be sure I have these definitions correct.  Please note that in the "Who Received The Message" column, where "worker" is listed in the matrix, I have only used the term "employee" since the customer is not evaluating contingent workers.  I realize worker could be either an employee or contingent worker. 
    Could anyone please tell me where I may have gotten the "Who Receives the Message" definitions wrong?  I've checked online documentation and there isn't anything I could find that makes an attempt to map this.
    Thank you,
    Mark
    Plan Population
    Who Receives The Message
    All managers in the plan
    All Managers who have active, eligible employees or terminated employees (during the appraisal period).
    All eligible workers for the plan
    All employees, regardless of their status in the plan. 
    All managers with at least one ongoing appraisal
    Managers who have not completed all appraisals for their employees.  These will be in “Ongoing with Manager” status

    All managers with at least one scorecard pending for review

    All managers with at least one scorecard not yet started
    This is when the manager begins the goal-setting process (cascading approach) and who have not started creating their employees’ goals (at least one).
    All managers with at least one scorecard in transfer
    Managers have transferred the employee’s goals back to them and the employee has not returned

    Sanjay,
    As always, thank you for responding and for your insight.  Your clarifications and thoughts here really helped.  I am also going to post what I received back from Bina Kulkarni at Oracle.  This might be helpful for anyone here looking for additional clarification on the WPM Notifications.  Thanks again for your help!

    Plan Population
    Who Receives The Message
    Comments
    All managers i the plan
    All Managers who have active, eligible employees or terminated employees (during the appraisal period).
    Terminated managers will no longer be part of the plan population & hence will not receive any messages.
    All eligible workers for the plan
    All employees, regardless of their status in the plan. 
    All managers with at least one ongoing appraisal
    Managers who have not completed all appraisals for their employees.  These will be in “Ongoing with Manager” status
    All workers with appraisal pending feedback
    Employees, whose managers have submitted their performance appraisals to them, complete with Overall Rating and Performance Summary and are awaiting their response.
    All workers with at least one ongoing appraisal
    Employees who still have an appraisal sitting with them in draft form, not submitted to their manager.
    Here the Appraisal can be in Planned or Saved status.
    All managers with at least one incomplete scorecard
    Managers with employees who have not completed their scorecards
    All managers with at least one scorecard pending for review
    Managers who haven’t completed the review of at least one employee’s goals
    All managers with at least one scorecard not yet started
    This is when the manager begins the goal-setting process (cascading approach) and who have not started creating their employees’ goals (at least one).
    All managers with at least one scorecard in transfer
    Managers have transferred the employee’s goals back to them and the employee has not returned
    Points 10 & 11 below seem the be the same. I think both cases talk about Managers who have set goals for their employees and transferred the scorecard to the employees for their review.
    All managers with at least one scorecard transferred out
    Managers who have updated their employee’s goals and have transferred them to the employee for review.
    Same as above
    All workers with an incomplete scorecard
    Employees who have started working on their goals, but have not completed them and they are still in draft.
    All workers with scorecard pending for managers review
    Employees who have submitted their goals to the manager, but the managers has not acted on (updated or approved) the scorecard. 
    When employees transfer their scorecard to their managers, the manager can either approve the objectives in the scorecard or Approve and finish objective setting, whereby the scorecard status changes to 'Published' and can no longer be worked upon.
    All workers with scorecard not yet started
    Employees who have an active scorecard, but have not opened it, started writing or saving the record. 
    All workers with scorecard in transfer
    Employees who have transferred their goals back to their manager.
    All workers with scorecard transferred out
    Employees who have transferred their goals from one plan to another plan (e.g., from Student Plan to Lab Regular Plan)
    Transferred out means the employee is transferred out of the plan due to hierarchy changes, eligibility changes or termination. In this case the transferred out scorecard is no longer visible amd the objectives from such a scorecard cannot be retrieved.
    All workers with scorecard pending with them
    Employees who have received their goals back and need to review and resubmit.
    This means that the employees have not completed objective setting from their end.
    An individual worker or manager (can select from list of values)
    This is an option when generating a notification.  You can select a single person and use a notification expressly for hers or his benefits.
    I think you are referring to an Ad-Hoc approver here.
    All Appraisal Participants
    Appraisers, Reviewers or Other Participants who have not completed their appraisal feedback about the employee.
    All Approvers
    Approvers of appraisals (AME defined or added Ad-hoc)

  • Workflow for Predefined Performance Management Process

    Hi All,
    We are in process of implementing Predefined Performance Management to our client, as I know we donu2019t have workflow for predefined performance management, but I saw below thread:
    Performance Management Process - Workflow between participants
    Please give me more clarification about configuration of Workflow for PMP, we need e-mail notifications only when ever manager is going to do some status change like approve planning phase, reject planning phase etc.
    We are expecting these notifications not through portal only employees e-mail account, can you tell me where the location of the configuration is?
    Thanks in advance.
    -Abhi

    Hi,
    The pre-defined is not ment for changing by anyone. The template is generated and the settings are as is. You would need to go to the phap_catalog to change the template (but that option is disabled for PMP templates). Theoritically you would need to change the status flow tab and select the correct workflow there. The information workflow is standard delivered for use in the flexible one.
    So, yes you probably are able with tricks to get it working in PMP but it is not supported by SAP.

  • Outlook notification appears before email arrives in inbox

    issue we have with a couple of folks,  outlook notification appears before email arrives in inbox.  any idea why this happens?
    if they click on the inbox, then click on another folder, then click back on the inbox, they email shows up.  users are getting frustrated.  I cant find anything wrong.
    Josh

    Hi,
    Are the users using any rules? Temporarily disable all rules in Outlook to check if the problem persists.
    You can also use Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if this is 3rd-party add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    For Exchange Accounts, please switch to Exchange Online mode to check the result.
    In addition, if you are using Remote Desktop Service, this problem may also be caused by the performance delay, try to optimize the RDS performance, check the result again:

  • Performance management with ONLY ESS and NO MSS??

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a very peculiar scenario regarding and ESS/MSS.
    Let me first post our requirments:
    We have implemented all modules of HR along with OM and now in the process of implementing Performance Management along with ESS only .  I am stressing on ESS only here with NO MSS functionality.
    Now my question is..is it really possible in the first place to have a performance management functionality without MSS and just with standalone ESS?  If yes,  what are the options that I have to configure the performance management system and the ESS system so that the workflows for Planning, Rating an employee, and Approvals regarding appraisals can be achieved??
    Is it possible to assign an ESS role to the manager and then when the manager logs in ESS, he/she can go ahead with the performance management process and can check employees just like the way it happens in MSS?
    Thanks a  lot for your time.
    Best Regards.
    Karan.

    Dear Karan,
    Firstly, it is not mandatory to implement MSS for approvals/notifications...
    Manager in MSS term is used to refer Head of Unit (in general) and not the immediate supervisor, i.e, relation ship (012).
    UWL - Universal Work List is the place where all work items for approval is listed and this can be activated in ESS with out using MSS functionality also.
    Comming to Performance Managment: Yes it can be acheived. NO MSS is required for Appraisals.
    if you are using BSP applications, there are different pages available for employee view, and manager view..\
    all that u need to do is, use the appropriate pages in the links that you gonna provide in ESS>Performance Management.
    SAP has given provision to create your own notifications (workflow) in configurations. Create a Z Event and ask your ABAPer to send a notification based on that Z Event. This all is standard.
    Regards

  • Performance Management Objective Setting

    Hi Everyone,
    I am working on a full HCM implementation and had a few questions regarding performance management.  The client is interested in having goals and objectives "cascade" through org. units and pre-load on Performance Appraisal templates.
    In the phap_catalog, I have noticed a value determination named "ORG_OBJECTIVES" and it supposedly auto-fills goals set by managers for the performance review period.
    Basically, I am looking for a productive/proper way to have goals flow from the overall organization, through lower level organizational units down to each and every employee.
    For example: Company X has 3 overall goals -> Bob Smith works within Org. Unit Y in which there are 3 separate goals that refer to this Org. Unit -> and then Bob Smith has the ability to add 3 of his own goals for the year.  Overall there would be 3 overall company goals, 3 org. unit goals (total of 6 that pre-fill) and 3 empty fields for Bob Smith to input his own goals.
    Any help would be wonderful.  Thank you for your time.

    Raghu,
    Your response was extremely helpful.
    Do you have any documentation or guidance on how I could create custom tables to use this BADI that you are talking about.  Currently there is no plan for SEM, so I am going to have to take the route of custom tables utilizing the BADI that you mentioned.  In terms of custom tables, creating them and using them, I only have a high level knowledge, so any documentation/guidance would be very helpful.

  • Performance Manager  and Data Gatherer

    Hello,
    I am looking for some basic info (I think). I have been using the EM Console - standalone for some time now but would like to use the diagnostic pack and Performance Manager. Can this be used in a standalone configuration or do I need to buy Enterprise Manager? If it works in a standalone configuration and I do not need to buy it, could you point me in the direction of documentation on how to start the data gatherer on my 9i database on AIX 5?

    i suggest you to uninstall businessobjects and install again(else it's very hard to add the performance management program).

  • Replacimg performance Manager with SSM(SAP Strategy management)

    Hi,
    Can any body tell me  how to migrate all the scorecards, KPIs  based on Performance Manager to SAP Strategy Management. Is there is a tool for that in SSM if not should those be rebuilt in SSM from the scratch.
    how do we replicate everything fromPM to  SSM
    From the developer perspective what will their tasks.
    Edited by: chrisbaker1999 on Jun 16, 2011 1:01 PM

    Chris,
    What the External Data Loader does is to allow you to transfer your scorecard structure from Performance Manager to Strategy Management. What you are importing is the structure of Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives and KPI aspects. It allows you to put all of these in the loader, verify the structure in the loader, and then using Transport to bring into SSM.
    There are additional definitions and settings that SSM requires that will have to be added after you Transport the loader's data.
    You will still have to build PAS models separately, because the External Data Loader does not build models.
    The Transporter tool in SSM allows you to export (and then import) your scorecard metadata from DEV to PROD. Moving between systems is a two-step process, and Transporter is step one. PAS is separate (step two) and you make a dump of the model in your DEV system, take that dump file from the Home directory in DEV and move it to the Home directory in PROD. In the PROD system you create a new PAS model frame and then load that dump into the new framework.
    Each SAP customer has a super-administrator that can add users to the SAP Service Marketplace. Find out who your super-admin is and get yourself added to allow you access to those areas on Service Marketplace.
    Regards,
    Bob

  • Managers can't see their employees when creating apprisal documents in Performance Management

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for you experts to enlighten me regarding an issue with the SAP Performance Management solution. We have recently (2013) implemented the Performance Management solution and everything has worked as expected. Now, we are in the process where the managers create the employees appraisal documents for the evaluation of the year 2013. The issue we are encountering is that managers who have been transfer to a new organizational unit are not able to see the employees which they supervised before the transfer.
    Currently our company has an structural profile which is assigned to all the managers and supervisors, and this profile gives access to the employees which are assign to the manager or supervisor. In addition we have an MSS role for managers and supervisors, and here we added the authorization object P_HAP_DOC to authorize manager to perform the PM process.
    Why the managers/supervisors who have been transfer are not able to see their employees?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Santhiel Ramos

    Thank you for your response,
    Yes, as the manager (appraiser) I have created the document in documents_todo.htm.
    I went to t-code phap_admin_pa and the document exists.  The manager's name and employee's name are listed and the status is listed as In Process.
    When I use t-code phap_start_bsp, then documents_received_open2.htm and log in as the employee, there are no documents listed.
    I am not sure what is missing Any more ideas?

  • How could I install outlook with business contact manager 2007 in windows 8.1 system?

    Recently I got a new 8 win pc, then I tried to instal Outlook with business contact manager 2007 but I couldn´t
    The reason: sql server is not compatible. Would you please let me know how to fix that problem?

    Hi CarlosZC,
    Since the issue regards Outlook with business contact manager 2007. I suggestion you post the question in the Outlook forums at
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook?tab=question&status=all&auth=1. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    According to your description, we need to verify the version of the SQL Server, usually the warning of compatibility issues applies to all SQL Server Express editions when installing Business Contact Manager (BCM) 2007 on Windows 7/8. The incompatibility
    was fixed in SQL Server 2008 Service Pack1 and SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 on Windows 7.
    There is a similar issue about compatibility message when installing BCM 2007 on Windows 7, you can review the following article.
