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.

Flexible appraisal processes & predefined Performance Management process.

Good Night.
What is the diference between Flexible appraisal processes & predefined Performance Management process and in what case i have that use it?
Kind Regards-

Hi Juan,
Flexible Appraisal Porcess- As the name suggest you have the flexibilty to design your apparisal templates using the functionalities provided by SAP.
For eample: Using transaction PHAP_Catalog_PA or OOAM, you can design your apparsail template.
Predefined Appraisal Template: Again as the name suggest, SAP has pre-designed the strucure for defining the appraisal template. After clicking on the tab for Predefined appraisal process in IMG node, you will follow the number of screens in sequece.
Excellent material is available on SAP Servicemarketplace for Performance Appraisal in EHP4. Please check the link below:
https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000687484&
Thanks!

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

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
Edit: I have no idea why the formatting won't hold. It doesn't look this bad when I edit it, sorry

Performance Management -- Predefined process

How do you change the status of the appraisal document in the predefined performance management process -- so that the manager can start giving ratings

Hi Victor:
Are you talking about how to do it administratively? In PHAP_ADMIN you can select the "change status" option of the "appraisal document" menu to set the status to "In Process". That, on the front end, will allow a manager to rate an appraisal in the predefined process.
Or are you asking what status it needs to be on the front end? If so, the status to rate the overall rating for an employee is "Edit Overall Appraisal For Employee".
Hopefully that helps you. Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Chris

Predefined Performance Management Process and Infotype 7409 'Performance'

Hi,
I hope, that anyone can answer my question.
I have configured a predefined Performance Management Process in SAP 6.0 EHP4 and finished the process with an overall assessment of the performance of the employees. However, no data has been written into Infotyp 7409 "Performance". Shouldn't the data of such an assessment be written into it?
The SAP documentation for IT7409 says the following:
"An employee's manager can use a form to assess the performance of the employee. In a talent review meeting, the participants can confirm this performance assessment or reclassify the employee regarding his or her performance.
For each performance assessment that is stored in the talent profile or made in the talent review meeting, the system creates a record for the Performance infotype in the background and stores the ID of the employee's central person in the record (object type CP)."
(http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a7/2bbb6a72aa4812b834a5ac777f630b/frameset.htm)
However, to be able to add a talent to a talent review meeting, the talent already needs to have an entry in IT7409.
Hence my question: How does the IT7409 get filled?
Kind regards
Daniel

My question seems to have been a problem in fact and seems to have been solved with OSS note 1338701 just yesterday.
Kind regards
Daniel

Predefined Performance Management

Hello
We're currently upgrading to EHP5 and have been looking at potentially using the Predefined Performance Management Process.
On the whole, the solution seems to meet most of our requirements, but there are a few minor aspects that we'd like slightly different if at all possible. For example, with the competencies, does anyone know if it is possible to automatically default required competencies onto the employees appraisal template? We have a few standard competencies that all employees must have assigned to them each year and other than creating them as qualifications (so that they are available to select from the profile match-up option), we can not see any other method via config?
We had thought of whether we could manually edit a predefined template after it has been initially created (i.e. un-releasing the template, adding new elements under the Competencies section and then re-releasing it again)? We're wondering if there is any flexibility once the initial template has been created?
At the moment we're waiting for the DEV box to finish the upgrade so just trying to investigate the options.
Thank you
Regards
Phil

ok Phil let me take a logical pot-shot at this (I aint much of a perf.mgmt guy but I have done a bit of quals in the past)
1. you need competencies to default am assuming these are basically 'skills'or qualifications of an employee, right?
2. if yes,.. you have 2 options: a. you defien requirements against positions for these skills and there is a std report to transfer them as quals to personnel, b. you define them in PA-itself and use the integration report to transfer to pd which is also the same as defining quals against personnel in an integrated environment,..
3. either way you have to do a dataload or conversion for these 'competencies' and on the per.mgmt side they should default...
feel free to correct me if my understanding was wrong,..
cheers

Help needed in oracle 11g soa suite.........(BPEL Process manager)

we tried to download bpel process manager 11g but as per oracle it is under Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 so we have downloaded the same also.....*
but the problem is agter installation we are not getting anuthing called oracle bpel process manager and also we are not able to run soa suite..........*
Can you please suggest how we can install the same or is there any other way so that we can run bpel process manager.*

Hi,
Download SOA 11.1.1.2.0 from OTN.
1. Don't forget to download RCU (Repository Configuration Utility). It is an extractable zip folder. Extract it. Navigate to its bin folder. Invoke rcu.sh/rcu.bat. It will open RCU. Choose Create. Enter your db details. In the next screen, choose SOA Infrastructure schema. Provide a schema prefix. Default would be 'DEV'. Proceed with further steps.
2. After installing 11gR1, navigate to your $ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
Invoke config.sh/config.cmd based on your OS. This will open the configuration wizard.
Choose create domain option. Enter the domain name. Select the templates: SOA Suite and Enterprise Manager. In the JDBC Datasources screen, enter the SOA schema information, db details. Complete the wizard. No need to customize anything else. This will create a SOA Domain.
3. Run the setNMProps.sh/cmd from $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin folder.
4. Navigate to $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin. Execute startNodeManager.sh/cmd. This will start the node manager.
5. Now navigate to your $DOMAIN_HOME. You will be able to find startWeblogic.cmd/sh file. Execute it. This will start your Admin Server.
6. Once the server started, login to WLS Admin Console (http://host:7001/console). Navigate to Servers. Click on Control tab. Select soa_server1. Start the server.
This will start the SOA server. To test your soa is up, access the url http://host:8001/soa-infra
There is no BPEL Console/ ESB Console / OWSM console in 11g. Everything is managed from your EM. EM url would be http://host:admin_server_port/em (http://host:7001/em)

Sharepoint Out of the Box as Business Process Management (BPM) Tool

How Sharepoint out of the box can be used as Business Process Management tool? Like we have K2.

Hi Bharat,
Thanks for posting your query,
All versions of SharePoint support workflows based on windows workflow foundation. SharePoint Server includes some predefined advanced workflows such as Approval, Collect feedback, Collect signatures. WSS 3.0 and SharePoint foundation contains simple "3
steps workflow".
But all versions support custom workflows and custom worflow steps created in SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio.
You can customize forms with SharePoint Designer, Visual Studio or InfoPath.
Also, check out below mentioned URLs to know more on this functionality in SharePoint 2013

Fresh install of Oracle VM Manager Template into Oracle VM Server

Hi,
I am trying to install the Oracle VM Manager template and then
create an Oracle VM Manager client.
I have already done a 'fresh install' of Oracle VM Server.
I do not have another machine available to use to contain the
'Oracle VM Manager', therefore, I am attempting to install the
Oracle VM Manager template directly into an Oracle VM Manager Server and
run the client.
I am following the instructions of the Oracle VM Server Users Guide
in section 4.3.
When I extract the zip file contents into the
/OVS/seed_pool directory, I get the following files.
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz
So far, so good.
Next, I used 'tar' to help me extract the directories of the .tgz file.
So far, so good.
Next, as instructed, I used 'python' and 'print randomMAC()' to create a new MAC address.
Inside the /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM/vm.cfg file
I modified the vif MAC address. I replaced the
xx:xx:xx with the 'last three' that were generated by the python randomMAC
function from above.
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:<my generated numbers>', ]
So far, so good?
In the Oracle VM Server Users Guide in section 4.3.,
The next step, expains that I should run
xm create mv.cfg
I did this. When I ran this I received back the error.
Using config file "./vm.cfg"
Error disk is not accessible.
When I peek inside my vm.cfg file.
I see file references starting with the following
file:/OVS/running_pool/ ...
Of, course my running_pool directory is empty.
(Again, this is a fresh install of Oracle VM Server).
My first question is the following.
Sometime in this process was I supposed to run
the the following executable?
./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
If so, should I have done this early?
Was the modification of the vif (of adding the MAC address
into the vm.cfg file, something I 'should have not done'
or 'something that could be ignored' because the
'./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh' would have done this for me?
My second question is the following.
Would the following process be 'more correct?'
..1 Not modify the vm.cfg' file.
..2 run ./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh.
..3 In the /OVS/running_pool/ directory find my
vm.cfg file of interest, then modify the vif with a new MAC address.
..4 In /OVS/running_pool/Change my current location to my directory of interest
run xm create vm.cfg (to run my Oracle VM Manager)?
Any help or ideas whould be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
AIM

Hi,
This is the README file for Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0
Readme for Media Pack B57738-01
Print: Access key=P Close: Access key=C
Oracle VM Templates for Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32 bit)
=====================================================================
Template Version 2.3
Oracle VM Manager Version 2.2.0
This document contains:
1. Prerequisites for Oracle VM Manager virtual machine (VM) deployment
2. Oracle VM Manager Template description
3. Creating an Oracle VM Manager Virtual Machine from
Oracle VM Manager Template
4. Deployment Interview
5. Known Issues
For more information on Oracle VM Manager, please refer to
the "Oracle VM Manager Installation Guide" and the "Oracle VM Manager
User's Guide" available at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/index.htm
1. Prerequisites
================
- A new install of Oracle VM Server 2.2 that has NOT been managed by another
Oracle VM Manager. Manager Template 2.2 is intended to be installed on Oracle
VM 2.2 server. If you have a new Oracle VM 2.1.5 server and want to deploy
Oracle VM Manager template, please use the Oracle VM 2.1.5 Manager template.
Note: root access to the server's dom0 is required.
- It's highly recommended that you upgrade the default agent (ovs-agent-2.3-19)
to ovs-agent-2.3-27 or later. You can get the latest Oracle VM 2.2 packages
from Oracle's Unbreakable Linux Network (http://linux.oracle.com).
Note: Alternate location to get Oracle VM agent 2.3-27 is
http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/server/2.2/RPMS/ovs-agent-2.3-27.noarch.rpm
- A working directory of the Oracle VM Server 2.2 has at least 4GB free space
for downloading and installing the template. The working directory can be any
directory on the Oracle VM server except /OVS/running_pool.
Note: The /root partition of the default Oracle VM server install may not have
enough space to temporarily host the template installation. Please use other
directory that has sufficient free space.
- At least 15GB of free space in the cluster root storage repository. For storage
and repository configuration, please refer to Oracle VM 2.2 Server User Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/storage.htm
and
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/repository.htm
- At least 2GB of free memory on the Oracle VM Server
- A static IP address for the Oracle VM Manager
- If enabling HA (high availability) for the Oracle VM Manager,
mount a clustered OCFS2 or NFS filesystem on /OVS. If ext3 or a
local OCFS2 filesystem is used, enabling HA will cause the high availability
prerequisite checking to fail. The Oracle VM Manager configuration
process will exit without completing the configuration.
- The Oracle VM Manager will register the first VM that it detects.
To have Oracle VM Manager be the first VM registered,
make sure there are no virtual machine images besides the Oracle VM Manager
virtual machine in the /OVS/running_pool directory on the Oracle VM Server.
- A desktop or other system with a VNC Viewer installed
The steps below assume that the Oracle VM Server used is not currently
or was not previously managed by another Oracle VM Manager. If this is not
the case, the instructions below will ask user clean up Oracle VM Agent DB
before running the Oracle VM Manager.
2. Oracle VM Manager Template Description
=========================================
The Oracle VM Manager Template is distributed as one archive file which
includes:
File Version
OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz 2.3
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh 2.3
The OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz archive contains two disk images,
a VM configuration file and a readme file:
- Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86 system disk image
- Oracle VM Manager 2.2 disk image
- vm.cfg
- README
The system image is a JeOS (Just enough OS) installation of Oracle
Enterprise Linux 5.3. It is a smaller footprint install that contains
the only packages needed by Oracle VM Manager.
Oracle VM Manager is configured to use Oracle Database 10g
Express Edition (included).
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh is used to check the prerequisite and
create virtual machine.
During the first boot of the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine,
the Oracle VM Manager configuration process will create server pool
and import the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine.
Two OS user accounts are created by default:
user: root password: ovsroot
user: oracle password: oracle
The user 'oracle' belongs to the 'oinstall' and 'dba' groups.
The default vnc console password is 'oracle'
3. Creating the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine
=================================================
1) Download the Oracle VM Manager Template (V19215-01.zip)
from http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm
2) Login to the Oracle VM Server's dom0 as 'root'
Copy V19215-01.zip to your working directory with at least 4GB free space.
You can choose any directory on OVM Server except /OVS/running_pool.
This zip file contains the archive file OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz
and a deploy script Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
3) As root, run
# unzip V19215-01.zip
4) As 'root', run the deployment script:
# chmod 755 Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
# ./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
The deployment script Deploy_Manager_Template.sh will complete the following
tasks:
a) prerequisite checking
b) uncompress OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz file to directory
/OVS/running_pool. This directory will contain the files following files:
/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM
|- System.img (OS image file)
|- Manager.img (Manager image file)
|- vm.cfg (VM configuration file)
|- README (Readme file)
c) generate and assign new MAC address to the virtual machine
d) interview the user for VM and VM Manager configuration parameters
(next section 'Deployment interview' provides the list of questions)
e) create and boot the virtual machine from the Oracle VM Server
command line
f) display the access information for Oracle VM Manager and Oracle VM
Manager VM
4. Deployment Interview
=======================
The deployment script will prompt a user to enter
a) Agent password
The agent password is required for the prerequisites check.
b) Storage configuration
Storage Source: NFS address, OCFS2 partition path
The script will automatically detect your cluster root storage repository
if you have configured it. Or it prompts users to input their storage source
and the script tries to set it up as cluster root.
NOTE: how to manually create your own storage repository in OracleVM server 2.2.x
1) Register your storage source. Example:
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n myhost:/mynfslocation
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n /dev/sdb3
Note that the storage source should have at least 15GB free space.
If the storage source is successfully registered, note down the uuid genereated
by the command above, such as:
51d4c69b-e439-41ac-8b31-3cc485c993b0 => /dev/sdb3
2) Mount your storage repository.
If the agent version is 2.3-27 or higher, execute:
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -i
otherwise, complete the following commands:
[1] mkdir -p /var/ovs/mount/$(echo <uuid> | sed s/-//g | tr '[:lower:]' \
'[:upper:]')"
where '<uuid>' is the uuid noted down in step 2)
[2] mount your storage source to the directory made in step [1].
3) If /OVS exists, delete or move /OVS
mv /OVS "/OVS.$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S').orig"
create a symbolic link from storage repository to /OVS
ln -nsf /var/ovs/mount/<UUID>/ /OVS
c) Network configuration
Static IP address
Netmask
Default Gateway IP address
DNS Server IP address
Hostname
d) Password for database accounts:
'SYS' and 'SYSTEM' (the same password the same password is used)
'OVS'
'oc4jadmin'
'admin'
e) Web Service configuration (supported in template in version 1.2)
Web Service password (at least 6 characters)
Enable HTTPS or not
f) SMTP server (outgoing mail server SMTP hostname)
E-mail Address for account 'admin'
g) Data for the manager services configuration:
Oracle VM Server Pool Name
Oracle VM Server login user name
Oracle VM Server login password
Note that Oracle VM Manager is critical for managing Oracle VM Server Pools.
Do not pause, suspend or shutdown this virtual machine! Configuring
HA is recommended for this virtual machine so that Oracle VM will
automatically restart the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine if there
is a server crash.
5. Known Issues
===============
1) You may see messages on a virtual machine's console similar to these
when the virtual machine is booting up:
Fatal: No PCI config space access function found
rtc: IRQ 8 is not free.
i8042.c: No controller found.
These messages can be ignored.
2) Mail server check fails.
Bug #7140 in bugzilla.oracle.com
Oracle VM Manager installer only checks the default SMTP port 25 for the
mail server. If the SMTP port is not 25, the check fails, and you will
see the following message:
Mail server '<mail server hostname>' check failed, want to re-enter it(Y|n)?
You can enter 'n' to skip the mail server checking. You will also see the
send mail checking fails with following message:
Failed to send mail to '<Admin e-mail address>'
want to re-enter the e-mail address(Y|n)?
You can enter 'n' to skip the send mail checking.
3) OEL VM console may display error messages similar to those below:
BUG: warning at drivers/xen/fbfront/xenfb.c:143/xenfb_update_screen() (Not
tainted)
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff803aa461>] xenfb_thread+0x135/0x2c5

[<ffffffff8029b856>] keventd_create_kthread+0x0/0xc4
[<ffffffff803aa32c>] xenfb_thread+0x0/0x2c5
[<ffffffff8029b856>] keventd_create_kthread+0x0/0xc4

[<ffffffff802338ca>] kthread+0x0/0x132
[<ffffffff80260b1a>] child_rip+0x0/0x12
This will not cause any problems.
4) If you accidentally power off Oracle VM Manager virtual machine through
Oracle Manager UI, and restart the virtual machine from OVM server command
line, although Oracle VM Manager virtual machine is running normally,
the virtual machine status in Manager UI will stay in 'Shutting Down'.
This is expected, as the virtual machine status sync will only happen when
the virtual machine status is "Error" or "Powered Off".
To re-sync the virtual machine status, please complete the following steps:
1. Log on the Manager UI;
2. Navigate to the 'Virtual Machines' tab;
3. Select Oracle VM Manager virtual machine, "OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM";
4. Choose 'Reset' from 'More Actions' dropdown list;
5. Click 'Go' button, the status will become "Running" after a while.
5) (Bug 9191053) For OVS agent version 2.3-19, the following High
Availability scenario will not work.
"If a Virtual Machine Server fails, all running virtual machines are
restarted automatically on another available Virtual Machine Server."
For OVS agent 2.3-19, Oracle VM Manager virtual machine will not be
automatically restarted on any other available Virtual Machine Server,
but on the original Virtual Machine Server when it becomes available again.
To fix the issue, please upgrade OVS agent to 2.3-27 or the latest version.

Link to PL/SQL procedure using a Template Manager template.

Hi,
I need to link a portal application report (report from SQL query) to a SQL procedure that uses a template manager template. The PL/SQL procedure requires parameters. I'm not be able to create a link based on a PL/SQL procedure. The only solution I found is to setup a link to a Form based on that procedure. But the form is only used to call the PL/SQL procedure by clicking the submit button and redirect to the template.
Another question:
Is it planed to support dynamic links based on column conditions?
I'm using Portal release 3.0.7.6.2.
thanks in advance
Jens

Jens,
You may want to search the Oracle9iAS Portal Applications forum. It may have the answer you are looking for. This forum is for questions related to the Portal Development Kit.
Thanks,
