PCP Implementation

Hello,
Has anybody implemented Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation? If yes can you please respond back because I'm not able to get the system working correctly based on what the HELP doc's mentioned.
One of the key question is when I'm doing data collection on Employees for the Cost Items, by default all the records in IT666 are getting generated with Time unit - 'Biweekly' even though I have selected only Dec in the Process Dependant and Additional Cost Item details screen.
Thank you,
Archie

Hi Suresh,
Yes, the Employee is on a Bi-Weekly payroll. Do you have any idea on how we can handle One-Time Bonus etc. Also, I get the same result even if I do Data collection using IT0014 or the Payroll results.
Thanks,
Archie

Hi,
Any updates please
what is 'Personal Cost Planning and Simulation' and what is it use (what data can we analyse)

EBS 12.1.3: a few questions about cloning

Hi,
We have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1.
A few questions about cloning from shared application tier environment to non-shared application tier environment. We have been following "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]"
Source environment (shared app tier):
- Two active application nodes and LB
- One active database and one passive database setup with Oracle Data Guard.
- SSL termination at the load balancer
- PCP implemented
Target environment (non-shared app tier):
- One active application node
- One active database node
- No SSL
- No PCP
After the cloning was completed we noticed the following problems in the target system:
1) Home page cannot be accessed as application tier $CONTEXT_FILE still contains "https" and ssl termination settings.
Workaround:
Modify (with text editor) Application Tier $CONTEXT_FILE as follows.
<webentryurlprotocol oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol" customized="yes">http</webentryurlprotocol>
<sslterminator oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
<login_page oa_var="s_login_page" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
<externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?No, you need to edit the context file manually and run AutoConfig.
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?You are following the best approach. You could update the node details from the backend if you want.
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?By default, Rapid Clone will create the target database in noarchivelog mode.
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? Correct.
What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?You can copy the application tier node files while the application is up. And, you do not need to shutdown the application to run "Maintain Snapshot Information".
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
If it is working from one browser, then it should not be an EM issue. Have you tried from a different client and see if this works? Have you changed any setting in your IE browser? Please make sure you add the EM URL to the trusted sites list.

Concurrent program required on a single node with RAC connfiguration

Hai all,
RAC with 11.5.10.2 on Linux . 2 DB server with 2 app server with concurrent managers
running on only one node..
We have requirement to run a concurrent program and its child process to run on only one
node of the RAC DB. Since this is not possible in this version and possible with 12.1 as per the note
Method Of Always Running A Specific Concurrent Program On One Particular Node [ID 1070621.1] .
We created a concurrent manager and under Specialization rules, we added all the program that
we required. now in the concurrent manager -define form - under the primary and secondary node
- do I have to set the node as one of the database server (or) one of the apps server.

Please advise.You only need to set the name of the node where the CM is running (under "Primary Node").
If you have PCP implemented, then you can type the name of each node where CM is running (CM node1 and CM node2).

The Applications File Server could not open the file

Hi All,
We have shared appl_top between 2 nodes.
When running concurrent request such as active user report, i got the following error:
The Applications File Server could not open the file oXXXXX.out for read
I have found metalink note
The Applications File Server could not open the file o611681.out for read (Doc ID 1311372.1)
The $APPLCSF are all fine and so are the permissions.
I found out if i start my primary node first, wait till concurrent manager start, then start second node, it would be ok.
is this recommended practice?
i thought i can start up all node at the same time.
am i right to say that the last node run adautocfg is the primary node?
Thanks in advance

I found out if i start my primary node first, wait till concurrent manager start, then start second node, it would be ok.
is this recommended practice?Do you have PCP implemented? If yes, you do not need to start the CMs on the second node and running adcmctl.sh script on the first node would be enough.
i thought i can start up all node at the same time.What exactly do you start?
am i right to say that the last node run adautocfg is the primary node?Please explain what components are running on each node.

EBS R12.1.2 Implementation - Architecture Doubt

Hi guys,
I have some questions about an architecture a client wants to implement.
The customer has 12.1.2 on two nodes. One for the database (11.1.0.7) and the other for all the Application services.
They want to add another Application node (with all the services) to receive another location users /requests. So basically they want two apps nodes (with all the services). one for the New York users and other one for the Los Angeles users. This two nodes working against the same DB Node. They dont have the hardware to enable load balancing.
Can this implementation work? It is possible to have two web/forms nodes without load balancing?
I know PCP will work. dont now about the web/forms.
Any answer should be helpful.
thanks.!

Hi,
Can this implementation work? It is possible to have two web/forms nodes without load balancing?Without load balancing I believe you cannot restrict the users from region 1 to access the first node and users from region 2 to access to the second node (or vice versa). Moreover, having two forms/web nodes accessing the same node and both are independent of each other is not supported (ICX_PARAMETERS table should have a single entry, either Node 1 or Node 2 for the application URL), so you need to have a load balancer implemented -- Please log a SR to confirm this with Oracle support.

Profit Center Planning PCP

Hi All
What exactly is Profit center planning and how is it implemented in BW. I know few things about PCA and I know the cubes and datasources for this, but I am unable to find anything for PCP. I tried SDN as well as help.sap.com
Can you guide me in the right direction.If anyone wants to forward any documents my email is [email protected]
Thanks for your help in advance and point will assigned !

Thanks for giving ur valuable time for reading my blogs:)
You can use PCA Datasources directly, just by replicating them.

Doubts - PCP/PCPS - Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation

Hi gurus,
How are you? I hope you are very well.
Currently I'm working in PCP and Simulation implementation project. Actually, in our case, the client is using the old component PCP and would like to implementing the new one.
Basically, we have the following scenario here: They have two tables for store some premisses (T511K and P) and, before the scheduled period for PCP execution, they run a simulated Payroll in order to generate calculated values for the future, it means, the values from payroll are calculated for the next year and the payroll rules uses these mentioned tables to change the values in specific months of the next year. Confused? I agree, but it can become worst...
After this execution, the calculated data are stored in logical DB PCL5 and can be used by PCP process. According the payroll responsable told me, each wage type will be associated automaticlly(How???) in a cost item and these meintioned cost items are used during the PCP running. In this current version of PCP, they do not use values associated to Organizational Elements, but they would like to use this from now on although they do not use infotypes 1005 or 1015.
So, I have a lot of doubts related to two specific points:
- Wage Types x Cost Itens: Could I keep all the current cost itens without associate each of these to a simbolic account? Is this association mandatory or can I create cost itens just collecting data from PCL5, for example? Does exists any standard collector for PCL5? If I need to create new simbolic accounts specifics for PCP, how can I do this in order to the real payroll do not be affected by these changes?
- Organizational Elements: Wich infotypes are mandatory? Are there any kind of collector that uses an occupied position as a template for a vacant position, I mean, can I use a hold position to find calculated values for a Person that is associated to this position and populate a similar vacant position? If is it posible, does exists something standard for providing this solution?
I would appreciate if you could help me. I have been reading many materials from SAP, but unfortunally these practical questions was not answered for me yet.
Best regards,
Alexandre Ferreira

PCP related queries

Hi all,
One of my client wants to use PCP for budget estimation. We will not be implementing CM or ECM. The budget is for the period Nov 2012 to Oct 2013. Salary increment happens in July. For example salary of a person is 30000 from Nov to Jun. From July it becomes 33000 (assuming 10% hike). So he gets paid 8 months with old salary and 4 months with new salary. In March how can the system extrapolate given that only Nov to Feb payroll has run? It cannot factor the July increment of 10%. The client always goes with a 10% increase in costs for estimation.
Also SAP documentation seems to suggest that data collection from Org objects is necessary and from Employees is optional. In our case no information is stored in Planned Compensation infotype for the OM objects. We need to use payroll results only as the basis for estimation. Can this be done? Are there any issues?
Please help me.
Thanks
Pramd

How to implement node affinity for java type concurrent programs.

How to run a concurrent program against a specific RAC instance with PCP/RAC setup? (Doc ID 1129203.1)
This works for non java registered concurrent programs but not java registered with use the DBC file
EBS RAC environment with two RAC nodes. We would like to implement node affinity to allow concurrent programs to be directed to a single RAC instance. Oracle have provided the NODE AFFINITY ability via the concurrent program definition in Session Control. This then uses the entry in the 10.1.2 tnsnames.ora to pass the request directly through to the instance as defined by Node Affinity.
However, concurrent programs defined as type java do not access the database by the 10.1.2 tnsnames.ora but use the dbc file under $FND_SECURE. This file is configured for both self service and concurrent processing so any change to the dbc file entry will affect both self service and concurrent processing.
How to we implement a node affinity solution for concurrent programs without affecting Self Service conncetions? We'd like the dbc file to directly connect java concurrernt programs through to one instance but the self service connections to use the SERVICE name only.
Regards.
philippe.

Did you think about Online/Batch node concept ? By that way you can seggrecate application connection.

PCP: budget split for employees on multiple positions

Dear experts,
I have a question concerning the use of the Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation module (PA-CP) to determine budgets for Org. Units containing employees that are on multiple positions.
When running the Personnel Cost Plans for the Org. Units that contain such employees, the Cost Items associated to the employee are u201Csplitu201D between the positions, according to the percentages of the relationships S-P. However, the client desires that the Cost Item for the employee is completely assigned to his main position (the one displayed in infotype 0001). Is it possible to do so in this module?
In the u201Coldu201D PCP module (PA-CM-CP), there was a parameter switch in table T77S0 (group PCOST, field MULTP) that controlled whether or not multiple assignments were taken into account in Cost Planning. However, this switch does not work with the new module, and I havenu2019t found a corresponding switch for it.
Is there a corresponding switch for the u201Cnewu201D module? If not, how could we implement this requirement?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Denis

Hi,
I am not sure if the below solution would work for the charts also but you can give a try to it. The below solution works well
to restrict the no. of rows in blocks.
Create a variable as:
v Test = Floor(Rowindex()/20)
so as to return integers when RowIndex() returns multiple of 20's.

SAP PCP (Personnel Cost Planning)

We are planning to implement PCP on SAP ECC 6.0. I am trying to achieve the basic scenario but it is not workign fine.
In first step i need to collect data like basic pay of employee , valuate cost item by 50 percent , and then run the cost plan. for example i colllected theh data through infotype basic pay , and when i run the cost planning run , i get the same value , how to valuate the basic bay. If data collected is $100 , and when i valuate it should be 150$ but this is not happening. Please advise what to do.

ECM budget using PCP

We are implementing ECM budgeting using Personnel Cost Planning Tools. We did the PCP minimal configuration, ran the PCP data collection to populate IT666, the budget for all cost items are there. Then, Cost plans were created for the organization units. However; Cost Plans run did not work for Stock. There were no error, but with warning. The report (cost items per cost object) did not have number populated. Do you know why?
I noticed that the currency is requested as an input when execute the Planning Run although it is for Stock.
And how is the number calculated in each quarter columns.
The other issue Im having is I got the error for each employee: does not have a budget for date xxxxx. The dates are the dates in IT666. What is the system looking for?
Thank you for any feedback
Sue
