Reporting relationship of people when a managing position has many holders

Hi experts,
SAP OM and PM allows multiple holders of a position. I have 2 questions about that actually:
1. Is it common in implementation to have more than 1 holders for a position?
2. usually, a position reports to the managing position of its org. unit. If the managing position has multiple holders, how can we know who reports to whom? any other configurations solve this issue?
3. Similar problem happens when an org.unit has more than 1 managing position. But that can be solved by S-S relationship.
Thanks a lot.

Alex

Hi,
I agree 100% with Dilek.
Alex, from your question i can tell that you're aware that with regards to "relationships" P is just a holder S, thus inherits all position's attributes, meaning if a person1 holding positionX that reports to a positionY having holders(person2 and person3) it basically means that person1 reports to both person2&3 and vice-versa.
So to make your situation less complex, use Dilek's advice as it will make others things(i.e. workflow, cost distributions etc) easier to do and maintain henceforth.
I hope you manage to fix it.
Kind Regards,

Relationship code for Manager Position

Hi Experts,
How to find the relationship code for finding Manager position of France and US.
i know that
A012 is the relationship code for France,
What should be the relationship code for US?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The standard SAP relationship code in OM is global and remains the same. Its not country specific. Hence France & US will have the same code.

ECM - roll up functionality in ECM when a manager left the company

Hi Experts,
When a Manager B reports to Manager A. Manager B leaves the company and has 5 employees reporting to him; his position is now vacant in SAP. Should Manager A now see the 5 employees that reported to Manager B in Manager Au2019s list of direct reports in the initial planning screens? I meant automatically roll up to the one-up manager.
Currently, this is not happening in my system, the manger A need to go search from the Org Unit dropdown to find manager Bu2019s employees. Is there a configuration setting for this?
Thanks!

Hi Susan,
The recently released EhP4 constitutes "Multilevel Approval Process" centered upon the organizational structure of the enterprise, rather than the employees assigned to the units within it. Because the Multilevel Approval Process is based on the organizational structure, it is designed with the intent of simplifying, for each successively higher-level manager within that structure, the administration and execution of the entire compensation planning cycle.
Within the Multilevel Approval Process, the planning manager of an organizational unit is understood to be the manager who is responsible for submitting compensation planning data for employees of that unit who are not managers themselves.
Under normal circumstances, the planning manager of an organizational unit is synonymous with the manager of that unit u2013 provided that a corresponding user is assigned to that manager in the system. However, if an organizational unit has no manager, or if the manager of that organizational unit has no user in the system, then the next higher-level manager who has a user in the system becomes the planning manager for that organizational unit.
This is a completely new functionality. I don't think we have any option uptil EhP4.

Update manager in IdM automatically when the manager changes in SAP HR

Hi Experts
I have been given a requirement where the manager of a user in IdM should be updated automatically when the manager changes in SAP HR.
The HR extraction job is currently in place and runs every 30mins.
Please could you give me some ideas on how to implement this.
IDM 7.2 SP 6
Thanks
Ran

Hi Deepak
I have been discussing this a bit more in detail with the client. So, the issue is as follows
When a new/replacement manager is hired
When people are moved from one org unit to another
The scheduled extraction job (RPLDAP_EXTRACT_IDM with a variant with the delta tick on) does not update the new manager info in IDM for the relevant users who report to that manager. The client has to run the program (RPLDAP_EXTRACT_IDM with a variant with the delta tick off) manually each time for the affected users which updates the manager info successfully in idm.
I investigated the query LDAP_IDM_QUERY from user group /SAPQUERY/L1 and want to know if the below should be ticked as well. Your thoughts please?
Please advise.
Thanks

Reports in Favorite Reports did not run when open

In SCOM 2012, I have run a few reports with the report template in the default SCOM management pack and saved them in the Favorite Report. When I open the saved reports at the Favorite Report again, they suppose to be run automatically. However, when I open
the report, it stopped at the parameters page and I need to click the run button explicitly. Does any one know why it is so and how can I make it run automatically when I open the reports which I have saved in the Favorite Report.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Thanks a lot for your comment.
First of all, there is no error at all and no message in the event log that related to this issue. The report saved in Favorite Reports did able to run successfully without any error just only I need to click the run button manually. Suppose it should run
automatically, right?
Second, there actually two MS (say MS01 and MS02) and both of them point to the same SSRS. Say for example, the report saved in the Favorite Reports at the Operation console on MS01 will not run automatically when open it. The behavior is the same when using
the Operation console on MS02 to open that particular report saved on MS01.
However, when I save a report in the Favorite Reports at the Operation console on MS02, it will run automatically when I reopen it. Then I use the Operation console on MS01 to reopen this report, it will run automatically as expected.
In short, report saved in MS01 got problem no matter where you open it. Report saved in MS02 got no problem no matter where you open it. It is very weird and I don't know what setting in SCOM 2012 would affect this behavior. In a big head right now...

I'm getting the below issue when I try to deploy a report with Dynamic parameters, when I deploy it with static parameters I'm not getting this issue.

I’m getting the below issue when I try to deploy a crystal report with Dynamic parameters in BI Launch Pad, when I deploy the same report with static parameters I can deploy and run it. I have Restarted the BI server, still the issue exitno use. kindly help me on this issue.
“This error occurred: Adding Crystal Report "CrystalReport1.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file CrystalReport1. Reason: Failed to read parameter object”.

BO does not run dynamic params through the report as would happen without BusinessObjects (BO) or Crystal Reports Server (CRS). When you publish a report with dynamic parameters to BO/CRS, the prompt is published to the repository so that it can be accessed through the Business View Manager (which can be installed as part of the client tools). In order for this to work a couple of things need to happen:
1. You need to be sure that you check the "Update Repository" box on the Save As screen the first time you publish the report.
2. Your BO/CRS user needs to have "view" access to the Crystal2013ReportApplicationServer in the Servers section in the CMC - in fact, the Everyone group should be given view access to the server in order for dynamic prompts to work correctly.
3. In the Business View Manager, the Administrator user needs to give your user, or, even better, a Crystal Developers group full control access to the "Dynamic Cascading Prompts" folder.
Best practice for dynamic prompts in a BO/CRS environment is to actually create the prompts in the Business View Manager. This will allow you to create a single data connection that can be reused and also create lists of values such that the same list or prompt can be reused by multiple reports. If you just create the prompts in Crystal, you will end up with multiple data connections to the same database, the prompts will use the whole query for the reports to get the dynamic values instead of just a focused query to the lookup table that contains the values, and there ends up being lots of duplication and chaos.

Health Service Heartbeat Failure Alert for Generated when one Management Server Down,

Hi,
I have Two Management Server, every one manage about 100 server, when one Management Server goes down unexpected, I receive 100 Alert for 100 Server Health Service Heartbeat Failure.
My Question, why when the Management Server down, it send that all Managed agent Health Service Heartbeat Failure?
Is there a way to change this?

SCOM 2012 agent will autofailover when primary server is down. You can check the failover management server by using the following powershell cmdlet:
#Verify Failover for Agents reporting to MS1
$Agents = Get-SCOMAgent | where {$_.PrimaryManagementServerName -eq 'MS1.DOMAIN.COM'}
$Agents | sort | foreach {
Write-Host "";
"Agent :: " + $_.Name;
"--Primary MS :: " + ($_.GetPrimaryManagementServer()).ComputerName;
$failoverServers = $_.getFailoverManagementServers();
foreach ($managementServer in $failoverServers) {
"--Failover MS :: " + ($managementServer.ComputerName);
Write-Host "";

MSS Reporting relationship

Hi Experts
I would like to know about MSS functionality.
I am currently configuring MSS at one of the client site and wherein i could see the standard functionality of Manager who has reporting relationship A012 (Manages) has the authorization for viewing and approving his sub-ordinates requests. If he has only reporting relationship A002 relationship he will not be able to view and approve any of the sub-ordinate request.
e.g. If there are 3 employees are working the same dept. as A, B, C.
C is reporting to B and B is reporting to A.
And A is having relationship A012 (manages), will be able to see and approve the sub-ordinate request but B will not be able to view or approve the sub-ordinate request.
Could you please give your comments on the same.
Regards,
Anand

Hi Suresh
Problem is narrted below with detail example
In one of the department i.e. HR, there are 3 (A,B,C)employees are working.
Where C is reporting to B (A002 reporting relationship)
Where B is reporting to A (A002 reporting relationship)
A is a head of the department and he forms the relationship with organizational unit A012 (Manages)
Suppose C raises the leave request for approval from ESS which should go to B since C is reporting to B.
If B logs into the system, he should be able to approve leave request of C in MSS.
Similarly in case of B and A. In my current system A is able to view the B request and approve the same. Actual problem lies between B and C
I would like to know that whether B will be able to view C as a staff and approve all his related request since he is not the head of the department as C and B only forms the reporting relationship A002.
As per the MSS document, i have read the pre-requisite for viewing the sub-ordinate and approve their request, immediate superior should be head of the department i.e. relationship A012.
Could you please give your expert comments on the same.

Anand

Mandatory Organizational unit when creating a position

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to make mandatory to create a relationship with a organizational unit when somebody creates a position using transaction PO13, or any other transaction.
Thanks a lot,
Mforman

Hi Mforman,
You can define the A003 Org unit relationship to position an "Essential relationship" and make it the next screen to be filled when creating a position (Table t77so). This, however, does not make the respective relationship a mandatory one as one can skip this relationship creation screen.

Managing positions in org management

Hello Team,
What is the best way to manage scenarios where there is an overlap in the time between an employee leaving and a new employee starting in the same position.
e.g. Employee one is leaving on May 31, 2010 and employee two is starting in that position on May 14, 2010 to train with the leaving employee. I don't want two people in the same position and I don't want extra positions to affect my headcount and budget etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Jeanette

Hi,
For your problem there are two ways as per my understanding,
1) You can share the position between those employee as 50%-50% by making configurationOr
2) you can assign Dummy position 9999999999 to the newly hired employee for time being.
Hope this will help you.

Best practices around building reporting relationships in OM

Hello Experts,
Would you please let me know the pros and cons of building the following kind of reporting lines in Organizational Management (OM):
1) Direct line reporting
2) Travel expense approval manager relationship
3) Compensation approval reporting lines
4) Performance and other reporting lines.
What do you all suggest and what's the best practices in this respect....just build one (the direct reporting) and that's it or you recommend building all kind of reporting relationships. Any thoughts and what you all have done on this!
Thank you very much.

I learned for Time Management, you need to have Chief not in the same org unit as his employees so he won't have access to approve his own time. I wondered if same would apply for ESS / MSS?
Here are two different scenarios of maintaing this. I learned that Scenario I would not work for Time Management for the reasons I listed above and Scenario II would work. Can you provide some input? what's SAP best practices on this? which scenario would be best practice? Please help!
Scenario I
*HQ Sales (Org Unit 1)     *
     General Manager (Chief)
     Sales Rep I
     Sales Rep II
     Sales Rep III
Scenario II
*HQ Sales (Org Unit 1)     *
     General Manager (Chief)
     *HQ Sales (Org Unit 2)     *
                Sales Rep I

Report showing data only when preview in Eclipse is executed

Hi people,
I intend to do a dynamic report sending two parameters and displaying on browser.
My application runs under Coldfusion 9 and i'm using Java Reporting Component for report generation and Crystal Reports Design for Eclipse 2.0 for design and Oracle 10g database.
In first preview it shows the parameter window and after confirmation the report is generated. But when i preview again the report is generated with the older data. It seems that the data in the first execution is cached.
In Coldfusion execution the report appears in browser when the value on the line parameter.setCurrentValue("","Pessoa",value); is the same used in preview. After change this an generic exception Error loading JDBC driver. Class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver' not found is throwed.
The Coldfusion code is below.
<cfscript>
     byteRead                    =     '';
     exportFormat               =     createObject('java','com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.exportoptions.ReportExportFormat').PDF;
     reportBuffer               =     createObject('java','java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream');
     reportDocument               =     createObject('java','com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument');
     reportParameter               =     createObject('java','com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ParameterFieldController');
     printOutputController     =     createObject('java','com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.PrintOutputController');
     connInfo                    =     createObject('java','com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.ConnectionInfo');
     reportPath                    =     expandPath('report/DividasPessoas.rpt' );
     reportDocument.open(reportPath, 0);
     parameter = reportDocument.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
     parameter.setCurrentValue("","Credor","1");
     parameter.setCurrentValue("","Pessoa","226426");
     printOutputController = reportDocument.getPrintOutputController().export(exportFormat);
     reportDocument.close();
     do{
          byteRead = printOutputController.read();
          reportBuffer.write(byteRead);
     }while( printOutputController.available() NEQ 0 );
     reportBuffer = reportBuffer.toByteArray();
</cfscript>
<cfheader name="content-length" value="#ArrayLen(reportBuffer)#" />
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="inline;filename=Report.pdf" />
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#reportBuffer#" />
I googled a lot about the problem, reviewed all Eclipse options to disable the "cache" but everything was unsuccessful.
I don't know if missing code is causing this or another component that i need to use.
Any suggestions?
Thanks everybody for attention and sorry for english errors.
Ian

Hi,
Regarding your query that when you preview a report that has parameters in it, the prompts daillog box comes when you first preview the report.when you again preview you get the old values again.
For this there is a refresh button, click on refresh, it will again promt you for parameters.
Thanks
