Performance Management: The perfect UI.. and hidden PM info

Hi there,
I have 2 questions for you which relate to performance management, but not in a technical sense.
1. What kind of information are you looking for in regards to PM which cannot be found in the docu?
Back-ground, in the past I used to Blog on PM topics and currently I am considering to pick it up again. So, what PM topics would you see discussed? More process wise, or technical.. or rather just have me shut up
2. What is the perfect PM UI?
Everyone hated the BSP UI, not sexy and then all those columns next to eachother.. that horizontal scrolling.. Then Webdynpro UI, well.. it looks better.. but everything is below eachother.. why can't I put columns next to eachother.. Pre-defined.. Oh, I love the UI, it looks good.. but why can't I adjust it to my process?
So, what features are you looking for in your perfect PM UI, if you have a top 3 how would it look like. and what do you hate the most about the current UI';s.
Based on the response (on question 1) I would make my second question topic for the first blog entry.
Regarrds and Groetjes,
Maurice Hagen

Thanks a lot Maurice for this initiative. Really appreciate it.
Coming to what I hate the most first.
1. Higher level manager - Why does the Higher level manager have to check documents using ESS and not MSS? Its really the biggest pain convincing the clients on this. I would really like SAP to look seriously into this and provide iviews in MSS.
2. For testing purposes, would like SAP to change the process of SAVE->RELEASE->CREATE DOC-->TEST ->DELETE>CANCEL RELEASE..this is a real pain area.
Coming to what topics we can have for blogs,
1. Technical details on iviews. This is one area where most of the consultants struggle.
2. Workflow related configuration in PM.
3. Process wise, how to tackle more particpants. We have, appriaser, appraisee, part appraiser, and say higher level manager. Now, how do we include an extra participant like HR business partner in your document. This is one area where we would like a discussion.
Thanks a lot Maurice.
Best Regards.

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.

When I change the time zone of the clock, the "Date created" time information for my documents and image files in the Finder window (and in Get Info) is changed. Can I make the time info in "Date created" remain fixed regardless of the clock's timezone?

Performance Management - Transporting "Define Tabs and Process config"

Good Morning Experts,
We are moving from Development into our PPT (pre-production test) environment and have successfully transported the Performance management category settings/values, as well as the Template itself.
Upon executing the Performance Management toolset from the portal side, I see that my tab configuration for the template did not transport. I have searched high and low for any reference to transporting this config step, but have been unsuccessful, thus this post.
Does anyone have any suggestions for transporting this configuration. As you know the IMG Personnel Management > Personnel Development > Objective Setting and Appraisals > Define Tabs and Process Configuration for Template launches a webdynpro app to make this configuration step, so saving these setup selections is the only option. How can I force these changes across ? I look forward to your responses !

All - the solution:
SAP Note 1428054, implement the corrections according to the note.
Run the report, RHHAP_Transport_tab_config which will generate the transport containing entries from tables:
hrhap_tab
hrhap_tab_data
hrhap_tab_t
Basis implemented, I ran report, transported the tabs and and all is well.

How to measure work centre performance in the pp point and pm pinot of view

Dear Guru`s,
how to evaluate the work centre performance in the pp,pm point?
how to evaluate the OEE (overall equipment efficieny)?
can anybody suggest that, if there is any transactions are avialable to get the reports or any process is to be followed to evaluate these?.
regards,

hi
you can evaluate the PM work center using t-codes
CR05 - Work Center List
CR06 - Cost Center Assignment
CR07 - Work Center Capacity
CR08 - Work Center Hierarchy
with this you can get the requirment,available and overlaod of the capacity
OEE cannot be directly calculated you can develop the custom based program to calulate the one with available input,( available hrs,down time hrs)

Managing the Creative Cloud and other Packages

Until this morning I had installed in my computer
Acrobat X Pro, Photoshop CS5 (64-bit), Photoshop CS6 and CS6 64-bit (all bought), and
Illustrator CS5, CS6, and CS6 (64-bit) and SendNow Basic (all subscribed to).
After subscribing to the Creative Cloud, I installed InDesign SC6 and decided to streamline my Adobe packages. I started with the uninstallation of Illustrator CS5. When this was done, my InDesign, Application Manager, and Acrobat X 'disappeared'. I therefore, used System Restore (I have Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit).
Following the Restore, when I open Illustrator CS5, I get a message to uninstall and re-install (Error: 1), InDesign refuses to open, and Acrobat X appears without my personalised printing settings.
I need advise on how to manage my packages?
Thanks.
Paul

I would be inclined to run the Cleanup tool
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
then reinstall all Cloud apps via the Appplication Manager.

Hate the new layout and LACK of info!

Duet partners are no longer listed on songs in the iTunes store, so unless you KNOW the song and main artist/album, you can't find a duet with another artist. Lame!

I'm not a big fan of the new store layout, either. Takes forever to find things. Tell Apple:
itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback

Weather Channel Missing Local On The 8's and local weather info.

I Have rebooted my box twice and still only get generic/national weather with no local info or maps for two days. According to the Weather Channel: "Your cable provider may be experiencing a technical problem with The Weather Star computer. The Weather Star is a piece of equipment located at your cable system that generates the Local On The 8s graphics for your area. " http://dw.weather.com/interact/contactus/localforecast.html Can someone please fix the box that generates the Local On The 8s graphics for the Claremont, NH area (03743)? Thank you!

Well, it's either coincidence or someone is really on the ball - either way the local came back just 10 minutes after I posted the message above. Thanks!

Hi,
In your case check for HR administrator for final ratings and other things also check for r/3 desktop services.
but why they are not going for mss, om is in place right

IOS 8 Photos: Hide and Hidden Album

I think is must be missing the point of the "hide" option and "Hidden" album in iOS 8 Photos app. More specifically, it would make sense to me if, viewing the "Hidden" folder we're password protected. As it is now though, best I can tell, all it seems to do is move the photo to an album called "Hidden" that anybody can still view.
To clarify, I'm only speaking strictly in terms of how it shows up on the iPhone itself. Maybe it has effects upon other considerations, like whether or not it gets backed up to icloud?
But as far as th presentation on the iPhone, it doesn't seem to do any real hiding, as far as I can tell.
Presumably I'm missing something?

This is such a cluster-f*ck. I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto. Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is. This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority. Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this.
What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto. I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this. Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword. I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad.
Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

Oracle Performance Management doubts

Hi All,
I have some questions related to Oracle performance management and hope they will get answered over here:-
Que1. The weight of all objective should be 100 but in my case it is allowing any value. What I need to do to restrict it?
Que2. Can we do objective setting and Appraisal process simultaneously? That would be allocate objective and rating in parallel?
Que3. When and how the rating provided by manager would reflect in the Performance (People --> Assignment --> other --> Performance) widow and what would be the effective date. I have completed all setup and process but the final rating is still not available.
Que4. What is difference between Talent management, Performance management and Workforce performance Management?
Que5. When I include the Appraisal in the PMP and select the Appraisal template (that just has final rating) and click on the "Go to Task" against "Manage appraisals" (to initiate it) I do not see anything. Do we/manager need to create plan every time using the link Appraisal.
Sorry for asking too many questions.
Thanks,
Avinash

Que1. The weight of all objective should be 100 but in my case it is allowing any value. What I need to do to restrict it?
ANS : This is a seeded one. If you want to restrict it you have to customize the page.
Que2. Can we do objective setting and Appraisal process simultaneously? That would be allocate objective and rating in parallel?
ANS : There is a checkbox "Allow Objective Setting outside of the period" (something like that).
Que4. What is difference between Talent management, Performance management and Workforce performance Management?
ANS: AFAIK, Oracle Talent Management and Oracle Performance Management are same. Prior to Oracle Performance Management, the module name was Oracle Talent Management.
Que5. When I include the Appraisal in the PMP and select the Appraisal template (that just has final rating) and click on the "Go to Task" against "Manage appraisals" (to initiate it) I do not see anything. Do we/manager need to create plan every time using the link Appraisal.
ANS : You can schedule the concurrent program, "Mass Appraisal Creation".
Hope it helps!.

Competency Weight age- Oracle Performance Management

Dear All,
We are in the process of implementing Oracle Performance Management (12.1.3 Ver), these are following scenario we need to address. Kindly post your advice .
1.     We have 4 Objective ( Objective-1, Objective-2, Objective-3 and Non-Bonus able Objective) for all the employees with weigh age. We need to restrict the weight age and the sum of all the Objective weight age should not exceed 35% . (EX: Obj 1+ Obj 2 + Obj 3+ Non-Bonus able = 35%). How to achieve this?
2.     We have 4 Mandatory competency and for which we need to provided weight age for each competency ( Ex: Communication Skill -20% weight age & Team work – 30%) How to achieve this?
3.     Our final rating works as, Objective Rating + Competency Rating ( Final Score = Objective Rating + Competency Rating). How to achieve this?
4.     We have another requirement like we need to Tag Absenteeism Rating ( Please see the below rating scale) along with the Final Appraisal rating . I am furnishing the Rating details
Excel----------Never Absent and always punctual.
Achieved----Never absent but late in or early out with prior permission.
Partial ------ Deduction of 5%     Few Absent or late in or early out without prior permission or advance intimation.
Not Achieved ----- Deduction of 10%     Multiple Absent or late in or early out with no permission at all.
Please let me know if you need more information
Thanks and Regards

MSS - Team - Performance Management - Maintain Performance Documents

Hi,
When I click on the Maintain Performance Documents the page opens and shows only one iView - 'Status Overview'. As I understand it, this page is supposed to have two iViews on it, but the other iView 'Performance Management Document' is missing. So I can see my list of employees, but when I click on them, nothing happens. Anyone else run into this problem?

Hello Kenneth,
As sujan said is right, When you click on Maintain performance Document it opens Status Overview Iview
its display list of employees , initial if you have no appraisal its display blank cell In preparation colume,
if you have appraisal it display Performance Maintain Document iView(BSP) is App - HAP_DOCUMENT with all list of option for approval.
You can also create appraisal in Create Appraisal Document in ESS.
Please points if helpful.
Please close thread if problem solved
Thankyou
