Hi John, From the output you shared it looks like you using Performance Advisor and want to share a graph of a 7-mode system. The instructions link you shared is from Performance Manager which is for Clustered Data ONTAP only. In the Performance Advisor there is unfortunately no way to share a link. You can 'save as' to png as you probably already saw, or you can use the dfm CLI to generate the same and email, perhaps as a daily report. There is also a data collector that will post to the NetApp ToolChest that submits data to Graphite with dashboards in Grafana. This solution would allow sharing of a URL like you desire. If you want more info on this let me know. Kind Regards,Chris MaddenStorage Architect, NetApp

Performance management controls

What specific controls should an auditor be looking for when looking for effective performance management of business critical oracle databases? I.e. what clues would indicate a good performance management process, what would indicate a poor performance management strategy?

Replacimg performance Manager with SSM(SAP Strategy management)

Hi,
Can any body tell me how to migrate all the scorecards, KPIs based on Performance Manager to SAP Strategy Management. Is there is a tool for that in SSM if not should those be rebuilt in SSM from the scratch.
how do we replicate everything fromPM to SSM
From the developer perspective what will their tasks.
Edited by: chrisbaker1999 on Jun 16, 2011 1:01 PM

Chris,
What the External Data Loader does is to allow you to transfer your scorecard structure from Performance Manager to Strategy Management. What you are importing is the structure of Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives and KPI aspects. It allows you to put all of these in the loader, verify the structure in the loader, and then using Transport to bring into SSM.
There are additional definitions and settings that SSM requires that will have to be added after you Transport the loader's data.
You will still have to build PAS models separately, because the External Data Loader does not build models.
The Transporter tool in SSM allows you to export (and then import) your scorecard metadata from DEV to PROD. Moving between systems is a two-step process, and Transporter is step one. PAS is separate (step two) and you make a dump of the model in your DEV system, take that dump file from the Home directory in DEV and move it to the Home directory in PROD. In the PROD system you create a new PAS model frame and then load that dump into the new framework.
Each SAP customer has a super-administrator that can add users to the SAP Service Marketplace. Find out who your super-admin is and get yourself added to allow you access to those areas on Service Marketplace.

Bob

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,

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?

Problem in refreshing Performance Manager Metric

Hi,
We are Using SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP3.
On this environment, we have configured SAO BO Performance manager / Dashboard manager Application (not EPM).
While refreshing the metric following error occurs;
Error:The probe engine cannot query the repository.(EPM 03008)<Metric Name> : ORA-00936:missing expression
Any clue on this?
BTW, I have tried to debug the problem and verified that, the query generated for metric is syntactically correct and runs without any problem (when @prompt replaced by actual date).
Some more details are as below;
Created a Calendar (Monthly) and also Created a Dimension.
The Connection is created which has privileges to access both PM Repository Schema and the Report Data Schema.
Thanks,
With Regards,
Sachin Dalal

the very simple strategy to do is to call removeAllItems() method for the 2nd combox box and then insert the contents. this is because the validate() method is not repeatedly called and so the contents are not updated immediately.

Performance Management Appraisal pull position to position

We are implementing Performance management in MSS/ESS 1.41.
The requirement is to have the appraisal document (flexible) pull position to position instead of chief to position.
Does anyone know where in the webdynpro this change should be made?

Hi Donna -
This is interesting that you posted this question.
My client and I are currently trying to come up with a solution design that would work given their requirements. Without getting into details, they do not have OM implementing currently, and need a performance management process implemented now.
One solution was to build position to position and keep it very simple.
My question to you is: Are you using other functionalities in performance management, such as cascading goals? If so, are you only using it for direct reports and not at the corporate level?
Thanks,
Nick

Predefined Performance Management process Issues

Hello
1. Is it possible for the High level managers to have a display access to employee's appraisal documents in PMP (Predefined Performance management)?
2. Is it possible for Further participants (such as dotted line managers, etc) to participate in Appraisal process for PMP. I tried using Part Appraisers. But the Part Appraisers are only getting access while appraisal status is In process - Part Appraisal". We want these Part Appraisers / Further participants to get access to employee's appraisals starting from Goal Planning status.
3. We wanted to add additional Criteria Groups (VB) to the PMP Appraisal Template. I have added a Project Goals Criteria Group. But that's not being shown in PMP web interface (although it is being shown in Flex-Form).
I have been realizing that the PMP, which is very good web design does not have ANY flexibility to change Template or process.
The Flexi-Form, which is very flexible in terms of Template Design, does not offer the Goal Cascading functionality and Competency Goals functionality.
I am surprised that the PMP is very un-flexible (contrary to what SAP advertised).
Any suggestions for my above 3 problems?
Thanks
Raghu Kolukuluri

Hi Wim:
Thanks for taking the time to read through my rambling and for responding.
I guess the point of what I was trying to get at is why it would be an unlikely scenario to put the configuration for predefined into PHAP_CONFIG and then let you modify it to suit the whim of your customer.
My intention was not to suggest the impossibility of integrations in the flexible template. There are certainly enhancements to accomplish integration with the Qualification catalog and LSO, and even the old school Development Plans that virtually no one uses.
However, as someone who has seen Predefined in a production environment; I have to tell you, I do disagree that the alignment of goals is the only 'functionality' piece missing from Flexible. A quick summary of other items missing out of the box:
- Potential Assessment
- Calibration with drag & drop capability of entire team
- Integration with the Talent Profile - Assessments tab
- Target rating distribution %
- Profile matchups to positions other than the employee's own position
That obviously excludes the UI stuff that's been addressed above. These things above come in Predefined automatically with literally no work other than what basically is equivalent to a configuration wizard.
Now, could you create that in Flexible? Sure, anything's possible with enough time and money, right? You can certainly dig into the code and create equivalent custom code for your Flexible template. But like I noted above, it certainly appears to at least me that SAP has continued improving Predefined in EhP5 and made no improvements to Flexible. So in my opinion you run the risk of creating something supremely custom for your customer in order to satisfy some requirement like 1 over 1 approval of a final rating. Then, when EhP6 or whatever comes out, the customer decides they want to start leveraging those Predefined improvements, they've painted themselves into a corner of sunk costs, or continuing to customize Flexible.
To me, that doesn't seem like a good solution, especially for a business unit like HCM that really doesn't generate revenue. I elluded to this in an earlier post, but I really like that Predefined has a process already built into it. It's not like SAP made that up from nowhere, they presumably built that from feedback they'd gotten from customers, along with feedback that it was frustrating how much time and money it costs to build an appraisal system that - while necessary in the corporate world - generates no revenue for the company.
Let me know what you think though. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris

SSM and Performance Manager

I will be migrating a client from Performance Manager to SSM. I understand the capabilities of SSM but have never used Performance Manager. Is these material that compares the two, or even a good description of Performace Manager.
Thanks

Hi,
SAP Strategy Management is the product that is designated as the route for the future and replaces Performance Manager.
The product has a long history as PilotWorks from Pilot Software prior to the acquisition of Pilot by SAP. It is increasingly being integrated into the SAP/BOBJ environment and with version 7.5 now on general release supports Business Objects Enterprise for authentication and the data in the underlying multidimensional OLAP database (PAS) is available to Business Objects tools through web services. The PAS database can store all the actuals targets etc and you can manipulate this data to reflect your needs. SSM is structured around u2018Contextsu2019 which are a u2018view of the worldu2019 so that you can have contexts for geographical or organisational slices through the organisation which can all roll up all the way to organisational level.

Problem Exporting Performance Management ScorecardData From MaxDB to Oracle

Hi all,
Iu2019m using the Transporter Utility in order to move a Context from QA to Production. However i´m having the following problems to do that:
Here are the specs of my systems:
QA System:
- SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP 1
- MaxDB 7.7 (DB Schema DB1)
- SAP Strategy Management 7.5 SP06
Production System:
- SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP 1
- Oracle 10.2.0.4 (DB Schema DB1)
- SAP Strategy Management 7.5 SP06
I followed the steps from the Strategy Management Upgrade Guide 7.5:
1) Access http:///strategy/tools
2) Click Transporter
3) Select Export all data (From All Databases, there are four)
4) Click Export Database
5) Click Download Export
6) Open the downloaded .zip file and sort by size and checked if files have a length of 0.
On the production system I make a clean install of Strategy Management 7.5 SP06, and everything seems to be OK, but when I import the performance management scorecard data with the transporter utility, it said it's OK, and then when I look in the Administration area, I cant see the context that I want to migrate, I can only see the samples contexts that brings the SSM which I haven't imported, I imported the latest boostrap.zip.
But I can see the migrated models and test them with PAS.
(Can I create scripts from Strategy Management tables with MaxDB and then import them into Oracle?)
If anyone can help me, or has a similar problem and could fix it, I appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
David

Hello Agudelo,
First of all, just for clarification, the models in PAS have to be transported manually between the systems, there in no export and import function. This is done independently from the transport of the scorecard databases.
For the transport of the scorecard databases, how many are then available if you use the demolauncher? You can also go to the tools page, in the Add Database options and see how many DBs were transported. If you access the administration link directly, only the contexts from the PWSAMPLE database will be displayed. You can change this property in the Java System Properties so that this link points to the administration page of a different scorecard database. If you want to see all links to all scorecard dbs, then use the /strategy/pilotworks/demolauncher.htm link.
Best regards,
Ricardo

Performance Management Architect doesn't display applications

Hi,
I am reading through the Performance Management Architect Administrators Guide (System 11 release) from Oracle trying to figure out how to work with Hyperion Planning and Essbase. First of all, is the Architect just a fancy name for certain functions in Workspace? Because the documentation describes accesssing Archictect through the Workspace Navigate options. Second, the Application Library is defined in the documentation as "A summary of applications that have been created and/or deployed to Financial Management, Planning, Profitability and Cost Management, Essbase Aggregate Storage Option (ASO), or Essbase Block Storage Option (BSO)." It also says I can create Planning applications here as well.
I follow the directions to access the Application Library - When in Workspace, I go to Navigate > Administer > Application Library, a new tab comes up, but there is nothing in the tab. It is completely blank. I have created several Planning applications, including initializing the Sample Application that comes with the Planning installation. I can view this application from Workspace or the Planning Web-app. Does anyone know why it is not showing up in the Application Library? If I want to build my own outline and define dimensions and members to create a planning applicaiton that works with my own sample data, where do I go to do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
The planning applications that you have created maybe classic planning applications so you won't see them in the EPMA application library. There are two methods of managing planning applications either the classic method or through EPMA.
You can create a new planning application through EPMA or you can upgrade one of your classic applications to an EPMA version.
Cheers

SAP Performance Management

Greetings guru's,
Could somebody please tell me what SAP PM is all about ? What is it made up of ? Is it made up of old modules grouped together?
Thanks
Mark

Hi
Enterprise performance management (EPM) refers to an integrated management approach that links strategic goals directly to the operational and financial activities necessary to reach those objectives. Comprising of Strategy Management, Profitability and Cost Management, Business Planning, Financial Consolidation, Spend, Supply Chain and other operational performance areas, Enterprise performance management aligns the processes, systems, and metrics needed to measure and manage the performance of an organization.http://forumsa.sdn.sap.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=8218908

In some docs I've seen an option called "copy link to page", which seems like EXACTLY what I'd like to do - copy the link to the page I'm looking at, and then send that link to the others that I want to be able to see it. (see https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1552961/html/GUID-E000CFC4-C568-4181-AAB5-790BF331FD6C.html). However, that option does not show up under my "Actions" pulldown, like the link above says it should. Does anyone know where to find this option, and/or how to acomplish the same thing ? I was thinking there must be a "standard" url that points to these types of graphs, but can't find any reference to that, though. Thanks, John

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.
Regards,
Adam P.
