PA40 Actions display

Hi Experts,
I have configured actions according to requirement. When I am watching PA40 with my userid I am able to see all the configured actions but when seen with another id those actions are not seen in PA40 screen. Pls help.
Regards,
Tomesh

Hi,
You must have configured actions as user-group dependent. While the user group parameter is set for ur userid it is not set for the other userid.
Use transaction SU3 and set parameter UGR for the other userid.
Hope this helps,
Amit

Text not getting displayed in PA40 action.

Hello All,
We upgraded from 4.6 to 5.0. When I doing the hiring or any other action, the text for the action type, reason for action or any other field is not getting displayed. Even when I select the entries the text for that is not getting displayed.
like its displaying only 01- for Action type hiring.
Thank You all in advance for your reponse!

Hello Sharath,
I checked this and this table is having all the values properly maintained. Language, Action, Name of the action is maintained. Is there any place where we need to activate this in order for us to see the name of the action type also when we select an action in PA40.
Thanks a lot for your response.

How to retrieve the action type of a PA40 action?

Hi there,
I am trying to find out the way to identify what was the action type for the personnel action that is just being executed. I will try to explain myself with a concrete example.
Let's take the hiring action.
A user goes to PA40 and initiates the action to hire a new employee. The program will then start guiding the user through the different infotypes defined within the infogroup.
Let's say that the order is IT0001, IT0002, IT0006, ...
I have setup table T779X to call a Function Module of my own after inserting IT0006. At that point in time I can know that the IT has been modified through transaction PA40 (sy-tcode) but, how can I know what action is being executed?
Thanks

Jim,
Actions can always be found afterwards in IT000 indeed
My problem is that I need to know what action type was initiated in REAL TIME. When I am debugging the batch for IT0006, after the user initiated an action through PA40
Thanks for the answer anyway

Action - Display smartform in PDF format

Hi All,
I have a requirement whereby on triggering of a print form action in crmd_order, the smartform should be displayed in PDF format and from there, user should be able to choose whether to save or to print the form. How can this be done?
Thanks!

Hi,
Here's the solutions.
1 .Show the PDF as pop-up upon trigger, very much the same how PDF attachment always pops up in the internet explorer. But this pops up in GUI.
Call the smartform FM with the GETOTF checked,
control_parameters-GETOTF = 'X'.
control_parameter-no_dialog = 'X'.
control_parameter-langu = <ur language>.
output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
output_option-tdimmed = 'X'.
output_option-tddelete = 'X'.
i_otf = job_output_info-OTFDATA.

SHDB/BDC - PA40 - How to Avoid Absolute List Position of PA40 Action

The following code was generated by SHDB for transaction PA40. It's picking a particular action from the list on the screen (23rd item from the top). This is almost certain to change in production because our dev environment isn't configured exactly the same.
Is there anyway I can avoid using an absolute position in my code do perform this logic? Thanks!
    PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPMP50A'                '2000'.
    PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_CURSOR'              'T529T-MNTXT(23)'.
    PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE'              '=PICK'.
    PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RP50G-SELEC(23)'         'X'.

You can even do an action from PA30. I usually do BDCs for Action via PA30. There won;t be any issues related to config variations in it.

Apraisal action log - without action "display"

Hi,
we are using the standard action log for apraisals. But it's very large and so we don't want to save all "display" actions.
Is there a BADI or a customizing table where we can switch out the looging of the display of an apraisal?
Thanks in advance
Jürgen

Hi
You can do the same. It can be done, you need to call in the following struture in your BOL layer CRMT_ACTION_GRID which coantins all your required data. You need to craete a Z implementation class where in you need to code in for fetching the values from the structure and fill in your view.

Default Reason code in IT0008 during PA40 Actions

Hi,
My requiremnt is default the reason code in infotype 008 during actions in PA40. Itshould be same as the one the user selected during the initial Action screen.
For Eg: Suppose user is selected the '01' as reson code in the initial action screen during the Hiring action, then when IT0008 appears, reason code should be defaulted as '01'.
Pls share any idea to do it.

Hi,
I have got the user exit for poulating the data. But the problem is how to get values from the screen for Infotype 0000 to screen for infotype 0008. Since the user may not save the data in 0000.So we can't read it from database.

Save as Adobe PDF Automator action displaying dialog

Hi,
I'm trying to use the "Save as Adobe PDF" Action in Automator in a workflow.
As soon as the action is initiated it interrupts the workflow to ask for a save path.
I don't understand this. Is it possible to provide this save path beforehand?
Having it pop up a dialog in the middle of the workflow renders it useless to me,
or am I missing something?
hope anyone can help.
kind regards,
Richard

No :-) I'm just surprised that an automated workflow asks for something halfway.
It seems to defy the point of automation. I would expect to be able to pre-set something like that.

PSE 11 actions display

How can you get actions to show in PSE 11? I want to be able to do one-step clicking while I'm editing photos, but I cannot figure out how to get them loaded on the right-hand side like I had in PSE 10, or even where they're located in the top menu. Thank you!

Window>Actions. If you set up a custom workspace by clicking the More button at the bottom right of your screen, you can then rip the actions panel loose from The Clump and put it into the panel bin if you like.

How to reproduce PA40 - List of Personnel Actions

Greetings experts.
I need to reproduce the list of Personnel Actions EXACTLY as they are displayed on the PA40 screen (same order, same items). I can see that these values are coming from table T529T but not all of them are showing and I'm not sure how the program is ordering them in the display.
I'm relatively new to SAP but I did try digging around in program SAPMP50A but for me it was trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Can anyone provide me with some advice on how to reproduce this, please?
Thanks!

Let me ask this another way.
I recorded a PA40 session to create a participant. The event selected on the client I recorded it on is 24 (24th item from the top of the "Personnel Actions" displayed). However, on the client the user is testing it's in a different position.
I'm on a very tight deadline and I don't have time to go back and re-work my code so I need to be able to somehow read the index (position) of the event I'm looking for so I can pass it to the BDC commands:
PERFORM bdc_field USING 'BDC_CURSOR' 'T529T-MNTXT(24)'.
PERFORM bdc_field USING 'BDC_OKCODE' '=PICK'.
If I could only access the list at runtime and somehow "query" it by doing a READ, etc., I could find the correct action and get it's position and replace the hard-coded "24" (from the SHDB recording) with the actual index.
Any thoughts?

Need to create a 1-sided matrix in Virsa CC5.2 for (132) sensitive actions

Hello
I need to set up sensitive transactions in Virsa Compliance Calibrator 5.2 , in addition to the out of the box global rule set. Our company tracks 132 sensitive transactions in SAP like PA40 for example. I need to be able to have CC 5.2 give me a list of all users that have access to any of the 132 transations. So I would want to run a report in Virsa CC5.2 and it needs to provide me with the names/IDs of the users that have access to the action PA40. Display/Add/Create etc. it does not matter I just need to know who can perform the action. I believe there should be a way to create a one-sided matrix with the 132 sensitive transactions on one side. I tried putting a few in a Function ID, and creating a Risk with just that function but it is not pulling up any matches, when I am sure there should be some. Can you please let me know how to create the one sided matrix in CC5.2 if you can.
Please help if possible.
Thank You

Hello Vince,
The logic that transactions within a function use to calculate a risk on Critical action Level is "OR".
Thus, for your scenerio what you can do is to create a Function and add all the transaction to it. Then, define a Critical Action risk with this single function only. That should do the work for you. Thus anytime, any role or user has one or more of these transactions, this will show up as a risk in your reports.

Hersh

New infotypes from form are displaying in black font instead of red

Good day,
I recently created a new form where a manager can submit a form to change their employee's work schdule infotypes in MSS.
The form can be successfully processed through workflow and the new infotypes from the form are populated in PA40 when executing the corresponding PA40 action.
The issue is, for all other forms when a new infotype is pulled into PA40 in SAP ECC the data is displayed in red font (making it easy for the data processor to see which feilds have been updated by processing the form). For my new form, the data is successfully pulling in but the font is black.
How do I change the font of the new infotypes to pull in as red instead of black? Is there a setting/config somewhere that I have missed?
Thanks,
Christine

SSAS SSRS Report Action on Cell Value w/ Embedded Single Quote Not Executing

I have configured an SSAS 2008 R2 cube SSRS ReportAction. I'm having problems when the member value for a cell has an embedded single quote, e.g. abc's. The action displays on the context menu appropriately, but when I click on the action, nothing happens.
For member values that do not have the single quote, the action works as designed. I've added a calculated ember to escape the embedded single quote by adding another single quote, e.g. abc''s, with no luck. Is there a resolution or workaround for this?

Hi Mdccuber,
According to your description, you create a reporting action in you cube, and it works fine except the members that have embedded single quote, right? In your scenario, it seems that you pass this value to the report as the parameter.
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), when pass values to a report, multi-select parameters have to be placed into IN statement and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will do single-quote wrapping for string values automatically. In this case, the original
value that have embedded single quote will be damaged. So this action not work. You can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.
