SAP e-Recruiting - WebDynPro - Flexibilization

Hi,
I want to configure a custom roadmap for the WebDynPro-based Candidate Portal. I also want my Candidate Portal to refer to a custom build Search screen, instead of the SAP Standard search screen.
I have maintained the follwing customizing in the IMG:
SAP E-Recruiting - Technical Settings - User Interfaces - Web DynPro ABAP - Flexibilization - Backend
In the section "Start Pages" I have defined:
a structuring element for first level called "Employment Opportunities".
a structuring element for second level called "Job Search". This is referring to my custom made search screen.
I also defined a new start page for external candidates (0001) with configuration ID Z_WDCONF_EXT_CAND. The first and second level are the same as in SAP Standard, except that it refers to the custom made "Job Search" instead of the SAP Standard one.
In the section "RoadMap Pattern" I have defined:
"Create Roadmap Pattern": For the startpage of the external candidate, also with configuration ID Z_WDCONF_EXT_CAND I customized that some of the steps are in different sequence ("Attachments" should be the second step).
My question is: how do you call this configuration? I guess you need to specify somewhere that configuration ID Z_WDCONF_EXT_CAND should be used. I tried to add it as an URL-parameter(&sap-wd-configId=Z_WDCONF_EXT_CAND), but that didn't do the trick. Also, the BaDI HRRCF00_DETERMINE_APPL_CONFIG is only relevant voor the Application Wizard, not for the startpage of the external candidate.
Thanks for the help. Points will be awarded!

Dries,
Please check - WDA Component/Application Configuration for Logo - HRRCF_C_STARTPAGE
You can find the way to call your URL.

E-Recruitment Webdynpro Flexibilization

Hi all,
My project has implement E-Recruiting and using Webdynpro ABAP as the user interface. I am currently trying change the logo of my External Candidate startpage. I have configured an application configuration via SE80. The logo is reflected correctly when i call the startpage via the url http://portal.recruit.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrrcf_a_startpage_ext_cand?sap-wd-configId=ZTEST.
However, the SPRO configurations e.g. hiding the 2nd level favorites navigation tab are not reflected. The SPRO configurations will only be reflected when I remove the parameter sap-wd-configId=ZTEST.
Anyone has encountered this issue before. All help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Eshwar,
the overall challenge with this requirement is the posibility of bypassing the screens by going to "send the application" directly from the personal data screen. Your requirement was discussed with SAP by different customers, still SAP could not find a solution. So there is no solution to do this in standard, neither for the BSP nor for the Web Dynpro ui.
The most promissing approach to get this done should be to find the processing when the application wizard checks if the required fields of the questionaire were filled. Perhaps you can add some code here to add your checks add send a response to the ui if they are not passed.

Web Dynpro ABAP in SAP E-Recruiting

Hi,
We just imported SP8 for our SAP E-Recruiting 6.0. SP8 offers Web Dynpro ABAP as candidate UI. One question we have is how WD pages incorporated for recruiters who still use BSP pages. For example, when a recruiter logs into E-Recruiting and finds a specific candidate, he/she can click on "Candidate Profile" to get to that candidate's pages. In BSP technology, recruiter actually uses exactly the same pages that candidate uses for Work Experience, Education, etc.. With candidate UI using WD technology, does recruiter use the same WD pages when displaying candidate profile information? I have been searching all the possible places, such as IMG, SICF, in order find a spot so that I can set the switch on, but so far unsuccessful.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Li

Hi Li ,
At best of my understanding in WD ABAP , its possible to make one WebDynpro page serving same purpose ( showing profile deatils ) visible for manty( Candidate , as well as Recruiter ) ....
I would like to know what exactly you want from web Dynpro ..then I will be in better position to tell you.
FYI ...
1) Web Dynpro ABAP
As the name suggests Web Dynpro for ABAP uses exactly the same meta model as its cousin Web Dynpro for Java. A Web Dynpro component, a Web Dynpro view, a Web Dynpro model, a Web Dynpro controller have the same semantics both for ABAP and Java. The main difference is the designtime environment, the development infrastructure and the runtime environment.
The designtime environment is properly embedded in the ABAP Workbench where Web Dynpro artifacts are simply a new category like BSP applications or classical dynpro based applications before. Also no surprises regarding the development infrastructure. The correction and transport system keeps track on all changes that are done, versions them and helps to propagate the Web Dynpro application from development to production like you would do with ordinary BSP or dynpro-based applications.
Last not least the execution platform is the ABAP server that produces application content ready to be integrated in the NetWeaver Portal seamlessly. Features like portal eventing can be used between applications written in ABAP or applications developed with Java.
2 ) I can give you links that can help you a lot.
First of all start doing SAP SDN tutorials .
Create some compenents with BAPI , Component usage and ALV .
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/02e1fa45-0801-0010-10a0-f1cf47e8c943
/people/marilyn.pratt/blog/2005/12/20/web-dynpro-for-abap
Try to Download demo tutorials from SDN library & Try to search WebDynpro ABAP WebLogs .
Wait not just that SAP has provided you with ample demo example of WD ABAP already bundled with SAP . Just Try out Components starting with WDR . I can tell you few like WDR_TEST_EVENTS ( It shows how every UI elments to use )
See packages like SWDP_DEMO , SALV_WD_DEMO
there are many more .

Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.

Hi SAP E-Recruiters,
Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).
Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.
We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Sudheer,
So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.
However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.

Sridhar

Recruiter page in SAP e-Recruiting

Hi,
We have been live with SAP e-Recruiting 6.0 for about 3 years. We have been using BSP applications so far. We have a standalone e-Recruiting system with a ECC6.0 EHP4 backend. We are in the process of upgrading to EHP5, and want to switch to WebDynpro. I have activated all the Services from SICF, and I can get the internal and external candidation application to work. However, I cannot get the recruiter page to work. Actually, I dont see any service that shows the recruiter start page. The requisition list comes up empty. However, I can get the requisition maintenance screen to work.
Albert

Hello Albert,
the short answer: you cannot find a web dynpro startpage for the recruiter as there is not really one like for the candidate.
I assume you are currently on E-Recruiting 6.0 without any enhancement package. The upgrade from this release to EhP 4 or 5 is quite a big task as there are a lot of changes in technology, data model and best practises.
EhP 5 for e-Recruiting requires the use of SAP Portal (or NetWeaver Business Client) for recruiter and recruiting admin. So you have to link the eRec system to the portal and have to deploy the business packages (BP for Common Parts 1.51, BP for Recruiter 1.51, BP for Recruiting Administrator 1.51). Within the recruiter portal role there is the recruiter entry page with the work sets for the recruiter. This application is based on the POWL standard component.
For the upgrade you have to activate the business functions for eRec EhP 5 on the eRec system:
HCM_ERC_CI_1
HCM_ERC_SES_1
HCM_ERC_CI_2
HCM_ERC_CI_3
HCM_ERC_CI_4
This brings two issues. The business function activation cannot be reversed and as soon as you activated the one which enables the web dynpro ui for the recruiter, the BSP ui is no longer supported. So you should clone the eRec system to test the upgrade impacts and steps. Otherwise you would loose your maintenance landscape. Another issue is the changed TREX interface with buiness function HCM_ERC_SES_1 which requires a new TREX installation and connection setup.
When you have done this you should be able to access the recruiter entry screen. If you are using the standard eRec role for recruiter (id 0007) you should find requisitions under "Open requisitions of Team" (the "My open Requisitions" work set is empty as no requisition has a lead recruiter flag yet). A hint here: work sets are not refreshing automatically and the refresh link is only refreshing the active work set, NOT ALL!
Unfortunately then the real work starts. Some highlights you will face:
- ALE implementation has changed and needs to be reconfigured
- There is no longer a startpage for the decision maker and requisition requester. These functions are only supported by Manager Self Serves. The requisition request is based on HCM Processes and Forms.
- The correspondence is only supporting the letter section option. If you used the older option to change letters it is no longer working. Even if you use the letter section option the correspondences will probably need adaption as the control in the UI changed which effects the behaviour in the smartforms
- There are new fields in the requisition data model which are partly even required (e.g. Lead Recruiter flag). There is no SAP report to set this information for active requisitions. So this has to be done manually ever in frontend or database. And we lost some fields in some screens.
So you will have to plan some time and ressources for the upgrade.
Kind Regards
Roman

EREC: What is new in SAP E-Recruitment 6.0 SP5, SP7 and SP8?

Edited by: Ridzuan Mohsin on Nov 18, 2011 9:30 AM

Hi Ridzuan,
as the named support packages are already years old is your question actually about e-recruiting 600 or do you mean the support packages for an enhancement package (like EhP 3 or EhP 4) for the e-recruiting application.

Integration of SAP e-Recruiting 6.0 in Enterprise Portal 7

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate e-Recruiting functionalities into our Portal.
The current situation:
SAP e-Recruiting 6.0 is set up (integrated on ECC 6.0), and works fine when using the BSP-front-end.
De ESS/MSS Business Packages are installed on the portal.
The system alias for e-recruiting is created (and tested).
My test user has the ESS Portal role, and the role "SAP_RCF_INTERNAL_CANDIDATE" in the backend system.
The problem:
When I log in with my test user, and go to "ESS" => "Career and Job". I have several options under "Job", being:
   - Applications
   - Apply Directly
   - Favorites
   - Search for Jobs
All of these are related/connected to the e-recruiting module. All of these functionalities work fine, when log in to the e-recruiting BSP's directly. But when I click on them via the Portal, I get the message "An internal error occurred. Please try again later."
When I go to transaction "SLG1" for a detailed error log, I see "The system accesses Customizing table T77RCF_sp_ID using parameters [0000]. There are no entries in the table for this."
When I use the BSP-pages, I can set the parameter RCFSPID via a parameter in the URL (e.g. "application.do?BspClient=800&BspLanguage=EN&rcfSpId=0001"). And via this parameter, the system knows which recruiting-role I have (e.g. 0001 = Internal candidate and 0002 = External candidate). But this value is not transmitted to the BSP pages when I access them via the Portal.
What I tried was editing the iview "Career and Job Services". I set the value "Parameters forwarded to BSP" to "rcfspid=0001". But that was not the solution.
So finally my question:
Where do you set this parameter?
Thanks!

Hi,
Other applications are fine (although the Portal is not 100% set up yet). I think this is related to the link between the portal and the e-recruiting module.
More details:
Serious error; see log
    - The system detects a technical inconsistency.
    - The operation will be terminated.
The error occurred in program CL_HRRCF_ABSTRACT_CONTROLLER==CM001 line 56

SAP E Recruiting - Manage future leaving employees in standalone EREC system.

Program HRALXSYNC
We are using E Recruiting system as a separate server and employee master data comes via ALE IDOCS
Is report HRALXSYNC need to run in case of separate server also?
It is creating user ids which we do want as our system administrator creates user ids and user ids comes from central CUA system with Info Type IT105.
Can we stop this background job as it is creating unwanted user ids in our SAP E- recruiting system, as mentioned in our case both the server are different and ALE being used for master data flow.
Processing of Future leaving / terminating employees
If we stop this Background job then how the suture leaving / terminating employees will be processed in our SAP E-Recruiting system.
In our case both the business function HCM_ERC_CI_3 is active and as per OSS note 1779471 (ERE: Information for processing future) Leavings it is mentioned to run program HRALXSYNC.
1. Considering this behavior do we need to start periodic service PROCESS_CAND_STATUS_CHANGE.
2. Is there any way program HRALXSYNC do not create user id ?

Hi Nicole
Thanks a lot for your reply.
As you said job HRALXSYNC is must require also in case if E Recruiting system running on separate instance also along with ALE master data distribution.
- Every one will not have user id assgned then this job should not create random users. Generation of multiple users may impact licences.
How we can stop randon users creation by this job?
- Also we have multiple companies rollout implemented in E recruiting system. And one company internal candidate should not apply job to other company. In this case if this job creates a random internal candidate user then they got assigned RCF_CAND_INT reference user and with this they are able to apply to any company. Whic is a wrong business process for us and a big issue.
- For future leaving employee - they are not getting convert to external in our system. Meaning this job do not assign RCF_CAND_EXT to future leavinf employees.
Please can you help us, Highly appreciated your inputs in this direction.
Thanks and regards
Sandeep

Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

Hi SAP Experts,
We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
Please give your valuable inputs,
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks

    - call function module CLOSE_FORM with option OTFDATA
    - convert OTF data to PDF by using function module CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
Now I would like to know how to display the PDF string from WebDynpro.
Please help....

Hi,
You can call by creating external window method.
create LINK to URL or LINK TO ACTION according to requirement, for this. write code in onaction of that.
data: iv_url type string value 'http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction=*se38 RS38M-PROGRAMM=rsparam;DYNP_OKCODE=SHOP'.
data: api_component type ref to if_wd_component,
          window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager,
          window type ref to if_wd_window.
api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
window_manager = api_component->get_window_manager( ).

Connecting SAP E-Recruiting with SAP ERP HCM via PI 7.10

Hello guys,
i am currently working on connecting a SAP E-Recruiting and a SAP EPR 6.0 (HCM) via a SAP Netweaver PI 7.10 SP6 (Its a Proxy-to-Proxy Connection). For this i have created a more or less detailed How-to Wiki page. As i am not a PI/XI Expert at all - but i am always eager to learn I have some difficulties and i have hoped that you may help me out so i can complete the guide and so help others who also have some difficulties in setting up the scenario.
For what i have already done, please check out the Wiki page i have created.
One question i do have is, where can i monitore the send process.
I mean i am executing the proxy-call in the sender system (E-Recruiting) but nothing happens (no error message)
Also please take a look the RFC Destinations i have created for the Communication Channel. Not sure in which system i have to create those Destiantions and where they should point to.
Here is the Wiki (still working on layout issues)

Hi Li,
I am the Product Manager for SAP E-Recruiting. I'll try and give some direction.
SAP E-Recruiting uses no functionality from the existing SAP recruitment module, and has a new data model. For HR releases before ERP2004, SAP E-Recruiting can only be deployed on a separate instance to HR, and integrated using a combination of ALE (qualification catalogue, employees, organizational units, jobs, and positions) and RFC calls (for moving candidate to be hired into HR).
If you have ERP2004, then you can have E-Recruiting on the same instance as HR. There are advantages and disadvantages to this including, security, sizing, etc. We can discuss this if you consider this an option.
If you have E-Recruiting on a separate instance to ERP2004, then you can also display or use organizational data using supplied data extractors. These are great for easily pulling HR data. In the standard they are only used to display information based on the job/position (example: current position holder) but they could also be used in custom workflows, job postings, etc.
With ERP2005, employee qualifications will also be available in E-Recruiting, as well as the possibility of defaulting qualifications on the requisition, based upon the job or position.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask more questions.
Best wishes, Mark
