I am working on the performance management workflow. When the manager chooses to require an employee self assessment then an email notification should be triggered to the employee (appraisee) notifying them of the self assessment to be taken.This is my requirement.
I have copied the standard workflow WS12300113 and customized the workflow to send the notification to the appraisee. I have customized the business object APPR_DOC . I am using the custom event and the event linkage is activated.
The manager from MSS select the employee and workflow is triggered. The mail notification will send a mail to the appraisee(employee) ,stating
Dear Appraisee Name,

Performance Management: 'Share with Main Appraiser' button not visible

Hi Gurus,
I am using Oracle R12.1.3, Performance Management module.
I am trying to publish Performance Management Plan with Objective setting and Appraisals both tasks. Appraisal plan is set to be appraisee initiated, standard appraisal
However - When the appraisee is trying to initiate the appraisal (by clicking 'Update' on the appraisal task appeared) - s/he sees all the objectives set and get to choose a performance rating. However - the button 'Share with Main Appraiser' button is not visible.
When I am trying to create a Performance Management Plan with only 'Appraisals' - this problem is not occurring. Any clue as to how to rectify this problem?
PS - I have tried disabling personalizations and re-tried several times - but the same error occurs.
Would really appreciate any response which might help.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul

I'm thankful for your effort Hussein. However, this document is applicable for version 12.1.4+ while I am working on 12.1.3. I re-tested the thing after making some changes in appraisal template where I ticked 'Update Appraisals for Terminated Workers' and also checking 2 more related check-boxes. Surprisingly it worked.
Also if I am selecting method for objective allocation as 'Parallel' - then also this error is not occurring - even with old appraisal template. Although this hit and trial worked, I do not have a logical view about the solution and correctness in all environments yet.

Performance management with 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.

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

Project Manager ruins timecode and tape name

After picture locking a sequence, I tried using Project Manager with the "collect files and copy to new location" option to consolidate for the colorist.
Unfortunately, the resulting files all lack tape names, and have incorrect timecode. This is a serious problem, obviously, since the colorist will never be able to relink these clips. Has anyone else gotten this process working?
I then tried cleaning the media cache database, and I ran the Project Manager again with the same settings. This time, it created files with proper tape names, and incorrect timecode.
This project contains clips from multiple cameras, and the only ones having this problem are from a Sony FS700.

That's a great idea.
Importing the sequence into a new PP project brings the accurate timecode and tape names, so it's easy to export all the clips. But after queueing them up and exporting QuickTimes in AME, the new files all have timecode starting at zero and no tape name! WTF??
Here is a screenshot with proof. You can see file 00001.MTS in Premiere with timecode starting at 46:10:20 and in AME starting at zero.

SSIS - pass variables to Data Manager for Appset and Application name

Hi folks,
I'm building an SSIS package, and I can't work out how to set the Appset and Application names in the Convert Task item - I have created the item, and the variables, but I can't work out how to reference the two.
Any tips or help greatly appreciated - this is one of the worst-documented pieces of software I've ever seen!
Thanks,
Jason

Hi,
Please refer to the other SSIS packages already created. We need not set these parameters while creating the SSIS package. When we link the SSIS to DM package, we can dynamically send the appset name and the application names.
Hope this helps.

Performance Management -- Workflow notifications for appraisees

Managers and managers + 1 can see WF notifications through the UWL in MSS.
How do appraisee's receive and see WF notifications? For employee apporval or acknowledgement for example?

Hi,
I normally activate WF forwarding to their email address for the employees. So the employees get all the WF's as normal emails with a link to their document.

File management workflow - in and out of PS CS

I am getting used to using LR in my workflow and find it great for a simple shoot where I sort/cull, process and export. However I am getting into a bit of a muddle on the file management side
1) Moving files in and out of PS
I often create complex manipulated images - here I edit in photoshop and tend to create many versions. I save a version whenever I feel I have got somewhere with the file. However if I use 'save as' the file doesn't appear in Lightroom - I would have to go and re-import them. I've noticed that lightroom does create a new edit each time I close and reopen the edit, but this is time consuming and I don't want to do this.
My process in PS CS would be to flag relevant raw files, open in PS and save to a Work in Progress folder. Here I would store the various versions. Then once the images had been finalised I would save to a Final folder.
At present with LR - I am importing into LR, sorting/culling, using Develop for basic edits, opening in PS for manipulation and then getting into a muddle with files and versions.
How do other people deal with the interlink between LR and CS?
2) Creating a final portfolio
I tend to export any final images as Tiffs in to a Final subfolder, as I am slightly wary of leaving them as Raw with an attached xmp in case things get messed around when I archive them to a separate HD.
What is the best way of creating a "portfolio" library, versus a working library? Re-importing the Tiffs and keywording/rating for portfolio? Or creating a separate LR Library where only final files are deposited?
I would be grateful for any tips/workflows you find work.
Thanks

> ) Creating a final portfolio
 I tend to export any final images as Tiffs in to a Final subfolder, as I am slightly wary of leaving them as Raw with an attached xmp in case things get messed around when I archive them to a separate HD.
 
 One way around the latter is to convert to DNG as a final step. When i do this, I know the file is pretty complete. By using "Edit in PS" my work gets linked with the original RAW or DNG file, has ratings, key words, etc. But I've not done a lot in that area, and not sure how I'd handle multiple versions of photoshopped images from one RAW file. I might be inclined to save snapshots within PS or layer comps.

Performance management - add a new appraiser

how can I allow another manager (in addition to the appraiser) to provide feedback to the agreement document?
Thanks,
Tiberiu

Dear Tiberiu,
I am sure when you have designed your appraisal template, you have taken care of following things:
1. Columns
2. Column access
3. Status Flow
4. Elelments
5. Element Access.
Once the template is prepared in all respect, the next step is to assign that template to employees. For this you can attach the template to the OM object. For example: In standard you can attach it to set of employees from particular organisation unit.
If you are using part appraisal and also if you want to attach the template to some other OM object like Job Family etc, then one of the option is, you can write a BDC where you will specify the logic for picking the values for the Manager as well as for your part appraial participants.
So using this BDC program, you will attach your template to all employees with appropriate header data.
Thanks!

Performance Management/Objective setting and Appraisals - To Hide elements

Hi All,
In PMS/Objective setting and Appraisals module, is there any BADI available to Hide elements( Criteria & Criteria group) on Sub status wise. Meaning, suppose i have Substatus A, B, C & D in status "2" ( In planning) and one of the VC element should be hidden in Status = 2 & substatus = A, B. But in "C" & "D" sub stauts it should be visible.
If BADI is not available then is there any possible way out for the same.
Thanks,
Ashwini.

There is no badi for this, it slipped of radar during the development of the hide element functionality.
The only why to achieve the same would be by having a customer own UI and control it on UI level, but its an ugly way which I do not recommend.

Performance Management EHP4 Flexible Appraisal Process

Hi
We are in the process of building Performance Management using Enhancement Package 4 in ECC 6.0 in our test system. We have activiated flexible appraisal process and have completed the necessary config for ESS and MSS and appraisal template.
The MSS user can create the appraisal and define the objectives etc. The ESS user can view the appraisal but cannot add comments. On checking the appraisal template we have created a criteria for employee comments and an element called additional comments the tab 'element access' has been marked against the employee as follows:
Participant = Employee
Plan:Access = Change
Review Access = Change
Completed = Display
So we do not know why the ESS user cannot add comments.
Can anyone help on this issue?
Many thanks
Julie

Many thanks for this - we have checked the template level and have the column access for column 'objectives' (which is what is used at element level for appraisee comments) and if we change the column owner to 'appriaser and appraisee' it works for the appraisee but not for the appraiser. So we have a choice either it is set to appraiser and it works fine for the manager or we change it to appraisee and appraiser and it works fine for the ESS user.
Perhaps there is something else we need to check?

XI3.0 and Performance Managment

All,
I have downloaded and installed XI3.0 in a local virtual machine using the Performance Manager BOE Premium Bundle license key from ESD. It all installs fine but I get no EPM demo dashboards (Total Electronics).
I do however have in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Performance Management 12.0 various folders including one called demos. In XIr2, there used to be a BIAR file to import the demos but I cannot see the same in XI3.0.
All I can find are XML files in a demos>>dashboard folder, XML files in demos>>dataconnections folder and the usual 7 universes in the demos>>universes folder.
Anyone know how I get this demo content installed ?
Andrew

There is no demo actually.
Performance manager and Dashboard analytics are both wdeployed into the tomcat webapp folder.
You can try some in the performance manager through infoview and need the license for the analytics catalog in infoview

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.

Error on Flexible Performance Management Appraisal Document

Hello Experts,
We are in the process of building Performance Management using Enhancement Package 4 in ECC 6.0. I am having issues with getting the Appraisal Document to work for MSS. Just to clarify too, I have no experience with Performance Management and the fact that we are using Enhancement package 4, our Functional consultants are not sure what to expect either. One more thing, the SICF service is activated.
*) When trying to preview the Appraisal Document (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hap_document), I am receiving a Portal Run Time error.
*) When I go into SE80, I am using Package u2018PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_WD_UIu2019 to run a test on Web Dynpro Application HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT, I am receiving u2018Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.u2019
*) When I go into SE80, I am using Package u2018PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_WD_UIu2019 to run a test on Web Dynpro Configuration HAP_AC_MAIN_DOC, I am receiving u201Cu2018Error in Calling Up Applicationu2019 The Web Dynpro application was called up with the wrong URL parametersu201D.
QUESTIONS:
1) Do I have to implement Generic Performance Management (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.generic_performance_management) to call the appraisal document?
2) Is there any special configuration that needs to be done to make the HAP_MAIN_DOC work (portal or R/3)?
3) Do I need to manually create an SICF service for this?
4) Is there any documentation on how to implement the Flexible?
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

Hello H2R,
I copied the Iview Generic Performance Management (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.generic_performance_management) with Application Name 'HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_MSS' and the Application Configuration Name 'HAP_START_PG_POW_MSS_AC'.
Activated the SICF services of 'hap_main_document', 'HAP_START_PG_POW_MSS_AC', 'HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_MSS. Also, I would activate the services that begin with 'HAP' that l thought that I would need.
In SE80, there are 2 locations to find these Applications: 1) Web Dynpro Comp./Intf. = FPM_OIF_COMPONENT and 2) Package = PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_WD_UI.
As for the notes, we are on SAPK-60420INEAHRGXX, these are the notes that we applied:
1468466 - PM Launchpad Config
1463821 - PM Portal Config
1416756 - OBN Config in PM
1408243 - Config for OBN
Hope this helps,
Mike
