Performance manager-collection,flow

Hi, in the collection wizard I can't find port-channel interfaces ( ISLs ). But in the real-time monitoring I can monitor all ISLs and port-channels. How can I collect history of port-channels? I have also IVR configured and I am not able to setup flows for IVR source and destination. I don't see the devices in the flow wizard. I see only devices within a single VSAN. How can I do that? Thanks in advance for Your Help.

I opened a TAC case and the answer is:
Customer can create a collection with the performance manager for ISLs,
host, storage and the flows, not for the port channels. (Port channels
are not supported) The wizard is not able to be used for the the flow
creation for the IVR devices since the flow is created within a VSAN.
Unfortunately this is as designed.
I think it's really a very big problem when You can't monitor port-channels and IVR flows!!! That does mean this features are not usable in production environment where monitoring is a must!!! Why is this not written in the documentation on the first page with bold. It's really frustrating. Thanks for Your help.

Performance manager collection

The majority of the host end device data is collected but there are hosts that there is no data just n/a in the following fields:
Avg. Rx/sec Avg. Tx/sec (Rx+Tx)/sec Peak Tx/sec Peak Tx/sec Errors Discards all have n/a entries. How do I enable the collection for these hosts.

Performance Manager does not collect statistics on nonmanageable and non-MDS switches. Loop devices (FL/NL) are not collected.
One year's worth of data for two variables (Rx and Tx bytes) requires a round-robin database (rrd) file size of 76 K. If errors and discards are also collected, the rrd file size becomes 110 K. The default internal values are as follows:
â¢600 samples of 5 minutes (2 days and 2 hours)
â¢700 samples of 30 minutes (12.5 days)
â¢775 samples of 2 hours (50 days)
â¢300 samples of 1 day
A 1000-port SAN requires 110 MB for a year's worth of historical data that includes errors and discards. If there were 20 switches in this SAN with equal distribution of fabric ports, about two to three SNMP packets per switch would be sent every 5 minutes for a total of about 100 request or response SNMP packets required to monitor the data.
Because of their variable counter requests, flows are more difficult to predict storage space requirements for. But in general you can expect that, each extra flow adds another 76 KB.

Graphs for items that Performance Manager doesn't do

OnCommand Performance Manager has a fairly limited scope in terms of what performance it actually manages. Apparently it does capture the statistics but just doesn't show them. Despite the interface being pretty awkward to use in general, it would be nice if the range of graphs was expanded similar to what is available for 7mode. That aside, the recommendation is to use a third party system to pull the data from Performance Manager over API, for example Graphite. I'm wondering if anyone out there has setup Graphite for this purpose or have used other tools (if so, any in particular)? I was hoping to be able to see the traffic on a network interface, something that I had thought would be quick and easy, but setting up yet another tool is a bit of a speed bump.

OnCommand Performance Manager collects data only from clustered data ONTAP systems. However, there are two ways to get performance counters into Graphite (or any 3rd party monitoring tool): * API feed from Performance Manager - benefit - best quality metrics due to proprietery counter post processing not available through ZAPI* Collect counters from cluster using ZAPI and push into Graphite Our solution for customers using both 7-mode and Clustered data ONTAP uses both options concurrently so that in Graphite you are able to see metrics for your entire NetApp estate. This can be put together by customers today. What we are working on is a simplified pre-packaging of the above - allowing "quick start". Best,Yossi

Performance Manager Startup Error

Hello All and Happy Holidays,
We are just starting up out 9509 Storage Directors and have licensed the Fabric Manager Server. Setting up flows using the Fabric Manager for performance monitoring goes according to the documents until we try to create the collection. The Performance Manager will not start.
When I check the log in the Fabric Manager, specifically the Performance Manager log, I get the following error: "C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MDS 9000\pm\C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MDS 9000\pm\pm.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)".
It appears to me there's a duplicate string in a config file somewhere that's providing an incorrect path to the appropriate.xml script. But where do I edit this to fix the problem. I've looked in all the .conf files, the .properties, and the .xml files I see and no where can I locate something obvious. Also, it will noit allow you to remove/reinstall. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
I have not seen this message before with PM but I know if you mess with the database .rrd or .xml it gets you in more trouble.
Are you running latest Java 1.5 ? And is this 2.1.2 FM/PM. If not you can upgrade just the FM with switches staying where they are. The Java is important also
I tried to find if just PM can be uninstalled by playing around on my lab system but only could find complete FM uninstall. Can you try loading FM on a differnt host that has not had FM before or is at least cleaned from past Cisco FM/DM app, to see if this is a file naming issue as you say.

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.

Appraisal - Performance Management Quetions

Hello
We are on ERP 2005 and implementing Performance Management at the company.
We have some questions in relation to the requirements:
- Is there any documentation on the use of columns like OBJH, OBJB, QBJ7, QBJ8 etc. How to identify which column best suits our need?
- Depending on the situation, one EE may have 5 areas (criteria groups in SAP) to work on this year whereas the other EE may have 3. Does SAP allow the ability to add one row at a time for each criteria group?
- There is a requirment that once the manager completes the EE appraisal in MSS, it should be available to the Manager's Manager and HR Dept for final
approval. How should we approch this requirement?
- Does SAP allow the ability to display the appraisal form in various tabs like one tab each for "Competency", one for "Goals", etc. OR does it all have to be on one long form?
- There is a need wherein an employee can choose from various development plan for the current year. The development plans (about 25 in number) are like "Conflict Management", "Decision Quality" etc. One EE can have 4 developement plans whereas the other may have 8 plans for the same year. We thought of adding the development plans as qualifications in Qual. catalog and then link it in Appraisal template.
Is this the best way to approch the requirement? If so, how do we link the qualifications to appraisal template? If not, what other options can be explored?
Please advice. Many thanks in advance,

Hello
Here is the updated information:
- Is there any documentation on the use of columns like OBJH, OBJB, QBJ7, QBJ8 etc. How to identify which column best suits our need?
No documentation found
- Depending on the situation, one EE may have 5 areas (criteria groups in SAP) to work on this year whereas the other EE may have 3. Does SAP allow the ability to add one row at a time for each criteria group?
It seems it is available in the latest version of We Dynpro.
- There is a requirment that once the manager completes the EE appraisal in MSS, it should be available to the Manager's Manager and HR Dept for final
approval. How should we approch this requirement?
This can be achieved via the status flow of the appraisal document
- Does SAP allow the ability to display the appraisal form in various tabs like one tab each for "Competency", one for "Goals", etc. OR does it all have to be on one long form?
It seems it is available in the latest version of We Dynpro.

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.

Configure approval process in Appraisals - Performance Management

Hi Guys
I am trying to configure the approval process. After the final appraisal by the manager, the appraisal forms hould go to the manager of the manager (next level manager) for approval.
My queries:
1. Is the next level manager defined as further participant or part appraiser?
2. Where do we assign the next level manager? In PHAP_PREPARE? I don't see anyplace where I can do that.
I have done the following configuration:
1. At category level, selected Role 'Higher Manager'
2. At category level, in Status flow--> Person Authorized, selected Higher-Level Manager.
3. In the template, selected Higher Manager in Roles.
What am I missing here?
Regards
FS

Hi FS,
I am also facing the Performance Management Higher Level Manager Approval issue in my client. Will you be able to help me about this BADI: HRHAP00_DOC_DEF_DO. How did you impleted this BADI related to higher level manager and how did you configure in Status flow.
Please Provide technical details about the BADI and configuration about the status flow also.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear all
We are in the process of Implementing Financial Supply Chain Management - Collections Management. We are also looking at business content in BI 7.0 as reporting solution.
While 0CLM_MC1 and 0CLM_MC2 are providing most of the data related to call worklist (like amount due, amount disputed, amount promised,dunning level etc etc) , an important piece of information that is crucial for debt reviews which is the text information stored in promise to pay and customer contact is missing.
Is there any way to upload this information (Long Text) is BI.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
U can go for BDC to upload ..
i.e.
'GUI_UPLOAD'
In general BDC and BAPI's are used to upload the data...mainly BAPI s are used to upload the bulk data...
if it screen flow then go for BDC upload...otherwise go for the BAPIs FM's

Approval process in performance managent

we need to understand a bit better the standard process for approving appraisal documents in performance management....
1. who is the default approver for appraisal documents?
2. how is the document sent for approval? is there a standard pushbutton that does that? is this in the Appraisal document WD4A application?
3. what is the difference between statuses 'approved' and 'closed approved'
4. is the status flow like this: completed->approved->closed approved?
thanks,
Tiberiu

this is completely controlled by who you let move the document on the status flow from In Process to completed. Generally it is the appraiser, i.e. the manager.

all of this is controlled on the status flow tab in phap_catalog when you are at the template level for config.

approved, and closed approved are really up to you from a design perspective and how you want the flow to work. within the status flow tab you could do something like:
in proces -> completed - Is only allowed by appraiser
Completed -> Approved - is only allowed by higher level manager
Approved -> closed approved - is done by the employee as an acknowledgment

Oracle Performance Management Sysem

Hi All,
Can anybody help me on implementing, Scope & Assumptions on Oracle Performance Management System?

Hi Prashanth,
Using Oracle PMS, clients can automate their entire assessment cycle right from objective setting to assessment.
Objective Setting - Is a collaborative process between Employee and his/her manager. You have the option of selecting the initiator of the process as either employee or the manager (Cascading/parallel). both the parties have to agree for freezing the objectives
Assessment - All approved objective will automatically flow to your assessment, based on the appraisal template define. You have the option of using competency assessment, objective assessment or even some questionnaire functionality as part of assessment.
Scope will be dependent on your business requirement. You key assumptions can include based on what your business wants to do:
1. Do the business need a global Objective setting plan or regional
2. Process of review of objectives
3. How will the actual loaded into system for objectives? (Not available out-of box)
4. What is the frequency of assessment? Twice a year or annual assessment
5. What will be the normalization method? (Not available out-of box)

Self-evaluation, Performance Management

Hi,
I need help to solve a problem. I'm implementing the Performance Management module, and the process can be one the following:
- manager appraisal for his employees
- or the employee (appraisee) does his self-evaluation, and after the manager could accept it or not.
If the manager does not accept the evaluation from the appraisee, he creates the final appraisal.
So I configured one form, based in standard appraisal, and when I try to create my self-evaluation, in R3 the form appears, but in portal the appraisal form only appears to the manager, it doesn't appear to the appraisee.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance for any help.

hi
check the status flow of the template u have designed.
And also check what all buttons that come in the first page on portal when manager opens the appraisal. In your case the template may be needed to opened first by the manager then save , it will go to the concerned employee , then come back for ratings.
Regards

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?
Thanks,
Jeff Graham

you have to find the keyword to see...
i suggest you to uninstall businessobjects and install again(else it's very hard to add the performance management program).
while you install, check the install performance management also(you have to have the keyword).
