Print forms performance management

Dear
Since the transaction phap_catalog, we applied the configuration to the requirements shown in the form, take the long description (to take the verbal description information IT1002) as referred to research that was done here:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Inheritingdescriptionfromexternalappraisal+element
This makes the form display is seen correctly and not cut in the 40-character description as done in the catalog of qualifications (OOQA Transaction). Therefore, it is loaded in each of the requirements of the infotype 1002 of verbal description.
In the portal with the configuration above is accomplished the display correctly, but when you print the form shows descriptions in addition to the IT1002, the infotype 1000.This should be omitted
I expect an response for informed as for applied if somebody know this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3999573/Print%20forms%20PD.doc
I attached the document with the screens of the steps of the problem.
Thanks
Luciana López

Thanks you very much Andy, what you suggest how should I do? I have no alternative standard configuration it?

Performance Problem with Adobe Print Forms (Non-Interactive)

Hi Team,
I have a Web Dynpro ABAP application with a print button which actually launces an Adibe print form (NOT Interactive) for the WDA data context. The scenario is for a Purchase Order in the ERP system. The problem is regarding performance when the line items are more then 150. The Adobe form is very simple WITH NO scripting and a plain tabular display of the line items. It takes around 4 minutes to load the form which has only 5 pages and is causing the WDA application to time out. Following are the configuration/Design details:
ADS Version: 705.20060620101936.310918
Adobe Reader 7.0, Version 7.0.9
Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1, Version 7.1.3284.1.338866
FORM Element in WDA:
displayType = activeX (Should this be native for performance improvements?)
"enabled" is not checked
readOnly = 'X'
SFP Settings for the template Form
Layout Type in Properties = Standard Layout (Should this be xACF or ZCI for performance improvements?
Interface type for the Form Interface = XML Schema-Based Interface
We are on 2004s release SP10
Specific Questions:
1) Any recommendations for the above settings to improve performance?
2) The form design is very simple with no complexity. The Table element is very basic and as per the blogs given in SDN. NO Scripting is performed.
Any help, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi Sanjay,
i would suggest you to have ZCI layout (native).
Set the form properties to be cached on server (refer performance improvements in the Adobe LC Designer help).
The performance will also depend on the ADS and also the network, including the R/3, as all these components come into picture.
Hope these points, if you have not checked already, will help you.

MSS Dashboard for Performance Management - PMP vs Flexi-Form

Hello Experts,
I have the following problem in Performance Management.
We have decided to use PMP template for some employees (manager level) and Flexi-form for remaining employees (because we have pre-defined criteria in template that PMP UI is not showing).
I found that PMP dashboard in MSS is only showing PMP appraisals.
When manager opens Flex-form UI, it is showing all appraisals that the manager is responsible for (PMP & Flexi) and when the manager clicks on an employee's appraisal document link, it is always displaying the document in Flexi UI mode.
If a manager is having half of his employees using PMP and other half using Flexi-form, what is the best way for him to look at Dashboard (initial screen to open employee's appraisals), so that for PMP appraisals will open with PMP UI and Flexi appraisals will open with Flexi UI?
Thanks

Hi Raghu,
So i was wrong about it being portal development, glad I finally figured out how to do it.
configuring the "quick criteria maintenance":
It can be done by config following this post: Define default value in POWL Quick Criteria Maintenance for all users
regarding assessment, it doesn't work for you, b/c you probably haven't done the configuration. go to talent management and talent development > talent assessment.
here you wil have to read all the IMG activities, the documentation is decent on how to implement. Basically with EP4, there are new types of assessment that a manager can do besides just performance, this includes assessing potential, risks, barriers, and development plans. all of these assessments processes tie into downstream talent management processes such as talent review meetings and succession planning. hope this helps.

PDF Error in Performance Management

Hi
When launching the Performance Management link from Manager Self Service (Role) --> Talent Management --> Performance Management I am getting the PDF error. Seems the page is trying to open the form in PDF, instead I want it to be displayed in html itself.
For Travel Expense form I have changed the URL parameter "sap.xss.tra.UsePdf=true" for the resource EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05.
What is the PCD Object and the resource key for the corresponding Performance Management iView.
Thanks,
Murthy

Did you get this error in the initial landing page?
Please detail out the error. And for the pcd location, it depends on the role you created unless you are using standard objects.
This iview should have a webdynpro application.

Hi Chris,
This component must be deployed in Portal because have a lot of services which need ESS in order to work properly. According with note 1408243 you must add those business components in your iView and only are available in that component. Once you deploy this component you do not need to assign any special role to users. The business object component is in Content Administration --> Portal Content --> Business Object --> ERP Common Parts --> Human Resources --> Employee.
Follow this link:

And get rid of mismatch issues!!!!

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?

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.

Pre-Populate Data in HRMS Performance Management

Hi experts !
My question may be a bit basic as I am not an expert on HRMS but if anyone one can give me a hint , will really appreciate the help.
Our customer is using the performance management module (appraisals) for capturing the annual reports of employees. Moreover, the assignment history is also being captured. My question is regarding a use case. If an employee has performed her duties under a specific supervisor, her annual report is also suppoed to be written by that specific supervisor even if at the time of annual report e.g 1 Jan of each year, she has moved to the other department. Moreover, based on the nature of job, a group of employees have a specific appraisal form which we have customized.
My question is that is it possible in the standard performance management module that it automatically populates the dates an employee had performed under that specific supervisor and based on the job of the employee, the relevant form is also selected.
I hope my question makes a bit of sense and is answerable.
Really appreciate your response.
Regards

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 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 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

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

Apex 4 tabular form performance

Hey all apex experts,
Having some issues w/ tabular form performance.
Posted below are the results from a debug run recently, I know it is a little tricky to read, was the simplest way I could find to get online.
To highlight the problems, it appears that page is running rather well, with the exception of the line...
*20110609090107.671238 0.38075 15.40215 rows loop: 15 row(s)*
You can see that this record is consuming over 15 seconds of page load, or 97% of the time.
So I need to find out what is consuming so much time, but "rows loop: 15 row(s)" tells me near to nothing.
The query that is behind the tabular form I am not worried about at all, as it easily runs in sub second through any direct db querying method.
The query does contain 8 apex_item calls...
- 2 apex_item.hidden
- 1 apex_item.select_list_from_lov
- 1 apex_item.date_popup2
- 3 apex_item.text
- 1 apex_item.checkbox
I am worried that the performance has to do with the rendering of these items, but I clearly need some assistance.
Any pointers on how to pinpoint the bottleneck?
I am currently running Apex 4.0.1.00.03 on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit.
Thanks in advance,
Hayden

I had something like that. In my case it is a "pl/sql function retuning query" that is the source of the report region.
Check in the database if the query is running slow when Apex is running the query, not when your are running the query. The binding may be different than what you expect.
