SAP GE: Host Activation action

Hi all,
While configuring global employee in SAP, I encounter error while running "assignment activation" from the front end.
By default under user parameter, Action type is 82. However after execution it gives error that personnel " Action type 82 is not for Activation of Global Employee". Looking at T529A, there is neither an entry for 82 nor for 83. Looking at SAP help, it points that:
"You can activate an assignment by means of the following personnel actions:
       1.      Host Activation (82)
·        A Host record is created provided that the status of the record on infotype Global Assignment Details    (0715) has been set to To be activated. The status is eventually set to In Progress.
·        A Home record is created with the status set to To be activated.
       2.      Expatriation (83)
·        Activate the assignment by means of the personnel action Expatriation (83).
Am I required to create a new activation action for GE? If so what infotypes to use. Otherwise, how do I go about activating assignment. In IT0715 I can only change status to "To be activated" and am stuck here.
Kind regards.

Hi all,
Bit of further research resolved above issue... SAP states action type 82 and 83 in SAP help, however, it also points towards feature ACTCE to check, it is there where instead of action 82 and 83 SAP delivered action type E2 and E3.
Selecting above values (E2 and E3) solves the issue.
Regards.

Have you activated MGE?
MGE can only be activated after consultation with SAP.

Host activity lighs ALL light up. RAID VERY slow.

Hi...
I have three XRAIDs. One is connected to an Xserve serving as fileserver. I'm having issues with it. Suddenly for no apparent reason it will light up all the Host Activity Lights - it appears like it's working REALLY hard! - But nothing really happens. When this happens it becomes almost impossible to navigate the harddrive - both locally on the server and remotely on the network...
The data going to/from the Xraid comes to almost a complete halt!
What's going on? - So far the only solution I've found is restarting the server!
Any ideas?
PS: There's still 420GB available on the Xraid

What firmware version are you using, and do you have both ethernet controllers plugged in?
Hint: The answers should be "1.5" and "yes." If not, do this and retry

Hiding com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.oldwfl.approve button in UWL InBoX

Hi,
Currently I am working on SRM upgrade project . How to remove/hide approve button in UWL inbox.
Below xml code, using in UWL configuration file in portal:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS90000005.SAP_SRM" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.srm.core.view.tasks" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_SRM" externalType="TS90000005" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<Actions>
<Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" />
<!<Properties><Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/></Properties></Action>>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
Implemented " uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail" code in xml, but it is not working. Pls guide, how to tweak the properties definition a little bit to get it to work.
By removing approval reference in xml code, approre button and inbox hyperlink both functionality disappear. As per my requirement, Inbox approve data should have hyperlink as it is and approve button should be disappear/remove/hide.
Otherwise without hyperlink, user has to select any workflow item and click "Details" button. For this need xml code for enabling Details button
Anybody light on this

Hi,
Remove the Approval action from the XML by deleting <Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" />
Also on this, <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS90000005.SAP_SRM" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.srm.core.view.tasks" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" executionMode="default">
change the defaultAction="viewDetail" to enable the hyperlink which will open up the detail if click on hyperlink. If you need to open up the details in SAP GUI (ITS), change the defaultAction="launchSAPAction"
Hope this helps.

Read Activity Action (Table ASHP.Descr.)

Hello,
is it possible to read the activity action strings from the database (PhoneCall, Meeting, Task, Note, Other) ??
OCLG.Action i only get an actioncode (C,T,M..) but i need the values. Debuginformation says the table is ASHP.Descr, but this table doesnt exist. So ASHP is an internal or a temp table?
Chris

Hi Chris,
Any drop down combo box that you select shows the table as ASHP. This table does not exist and is probably just an internal temp table that is used.
The values of the activity type you are referring to is fixed and cannot be updated by the user. No addtions, modifications or deletions can be made. You can thus directly map it in your code to the one character stored in the database. I have searched and cannot find any mapping in the database to the field you are referring to.
The reason for the codes being fixed is probably because the screen acts differently for every selection made. Look at the dates and times options in the bottom of the window.
Hope this helps,
Adele

Interface SAP/ABAP-Host - Non SAP/ABAP Host

Hi experts,
I need to define an interface technoloty between an ABAP-host and a Non-ABAP host.
I know, that non-abap hosts are able to call RFC-Function Modules of the ABAP-host and that I can use this method to exchange data between the systems. This means, the non-abap host starts the action.
But I don't know, how I can do it on the other way, so that the ABAP-host starts the action.
So how can I call a function/program on the non-abap host out of SAP?
Do I need to define this as an external program call in SM59?
And if so, how does the syntax needs to be look-like, which I need to implement in ABAP.
Is it an normal RFC-FM which has the destination of the SM59?
Kind regards and thank you for every tip.

Hi Christian,
SUP i.e Sybase is the interface which is used to connect non SAP to SAP system via RFC-FM. It does not require to do RFC settings through SM59.

User base Synchronization between SAP and MS Active Directory Server

Dear all!
I'm using Web AS 6.20 ABAP and MS Active Directory Server based on Win 2003 Server.
i successfully implemented the synchronization of user data between SAP and the ADS.
My question: Is there a way to customize the users on Active Directory Server in regard to their SAP authorization (roles auth. objects etc.)?
Currently I don't have a clue how to do this.
Regards,
Christoph

Have you searched on SDN for "Active Directory"? That turns up a number of results. I think your expectation might be backwards though, it's not how ADS exposes SAP specific data but how SAP uses ADS to store SAP specific data. My understanding (from quite some time ago so I am fuzzy on this) is that SAP can use ADS in much the same way it can use LDAP as an external user store.
The Security Newsletter from November 04 [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/sap security newsletter november 2004.pdf] mentions that a webinar is hosted on SDN about this exact topic, unfortunately I was unable to find a direct link.

BOBJ SAP Integration with Active Directory SSO via Portal

Hi all,
We are only interating BOBJ with BW/BI and the user experience is as follows:
Users login to the SAP Portal using their Windows Active Directory user id and password to gain access to the portal.
From my understanding at the moment, the way the interation kit works is that the BOBJ system is configured as per the manual importing the SAP roles and SAP users who will access the Crystal reports via either GUI or Portal.
My question is: When creating a Crystal report is created, the connection details use SAP login credentials and in the CMC the SSO option can be set so that the SAP user who has logged onto GUI or Portal can launch the report... this is fine and works as intended taken that the user logged on with his/her SAP login. As per the user experience above, users log in using their AD Login into Portal, and never use GUI, where this in theory is SSO into Portal. So how does one get past the login screens (BOBJ and database) while preserving AD SSO to SAP and BOBJ?
Any guidance, documents or comments will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jacques

HI,
yes it is possible:
take a look at the blogs I did on the install and configuration (specially the SAP Authentication):
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 1 of 4
Install Part #1
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 2 of 4
Install Part #2
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 3 of 4
Install Part #3
BusinessObjects and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 4 of 4
Install Part #4
BusinessObjects and SAP - Configure SAP Authentication
SAP Authentication
Important here is that:
- the BI System is configured to accept tickets
- the portal and BI system are configured as trusted system
- the SAP authentication is configured

SAP Query to join action infotype with additional action infotype

We have created SAP Query on PA0000 which shows all actions that are executed for an employee.
The problem is that if two actions are exceuted on the same day then it shows only one action instead of showing both the actions.
As two actions are executed on the same day it will be stored in additional action infotype(0302).We tried to join PA0000(Action infotype) with PA0302(additional action infotype) in SAP Query by using joins(inner join/outer join) but it shows duplicate records.
Is there any way to get additional action along with records of action infotype without any duplication in SAP Query.

All entries that are in PA0000 will be in PA0302, but not vice-versa so you just have to reverse what you are currently doing, i.e.: create a Query on PA0302 and join to PA0000, and then make sure your selection criteria is from PA0302 and not PA0000.

SAP Router - Host did not respond 8 times

Guys,
I'm able to test OSS connection successfully in SM59. But in service connections, whenever i open connections, the connection failing to open with the "Host did not respond 8 times " error before changing to Cancel. Any suggestions please?

There was a little glitch in the saprouttab file, which i fixed. But interesting to note that it didn't clear the error. I keep having the same error, but SAP was able to connect inspite of that. As i read elsewhere, often times this error is misleading. anyway, thanks.

SAP HR - Retro active Accounting

Hello SAP HR Dudes,
May I know the details on Retro active accounting. If we enable this retro active accounting would it have impact on the currrent payroll?
Please clarify.
Thanks.
Regards,
SAP HR User 2012.

Hi,
May I know the details on Retro active accounting.?
The beauty of SAP in Payroll is Retroactive Accounting,means if you gone live from say 01.01.2012 and in 2017 you have to increase the pay of employees wef 01.01.2012 then the system will calculate all the arrears due to an employee from 2012.
Also remember any changes to employee master data that is back dated then also the payroll for that employee runs a retro from that back date and any changes related to his pay are to be effected in that retro period are termed as arrears for him.
before this you have to do configuration of carry fwd and brought fwd wage types(this you can search in forum)
If we enable this retro active accounting would it have impact on the currrent payroll?
As said earlier we do not enable retro,the date from which you are going live in system is the Earliest retro active date set in IT 0003 of an Employee,this is cause anything beyond this date does not have any record of Payroll.
I have tried to answer as per my view also lets wait for others to share their view.

Activating action usage report in RAR

Hi,
I want to configure the Action usage report in AC 5.3 RAR. However after reading all of the configuration documents I am still not clear on the steps to achieve this.
Specifically how is the transaction data gathered?
Is there a job that runs on the SAP system?
I have looked at the options for configuration under alerts generate jobs, however I do not want to gather data on transaction related to a specific risk, I want to gather data on all transactions used. I cannot see an option to set this up.
I want to use this report for remediation purposes.
Thanks,

Hi,
Action usage job runs on RAR (Java front-end) side and basically, collects the data from SAP system and populates the RAR database.
Alert is only supposed to work at SoD risk level or critical action risk level. The reason why SAP doesn't allow you to generate alert for all the transactions as that would be too much of data.

SAP and MS Active Directory 2008

hi all,
i want to set up a connection between our MS Active Directory 2008 and the SAP user maintenance.
what i've already done:
1. setup a RFC connection with the name LDAP_{Hostname of AD}
2. setup a ldap system user with auth. mechanism "simple bind" and credential storage "simple memory"
3. setup a LDAP connector
4. setup the LDAP server with port no. 389, product name = ms ad 2003 domain mode, protocol version = ldap version 3, ldap application = user, default = true, base entry = {highest level}, system logon = {the ldap system user}
5. done the ldap server mapping. you can see it in the screenshot here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/444/mappingoverview20111017.jpg
when i now try to log in to the LDAP server, everything works fine and i get a green light.
now when i try to search something over the "find in directory" application i get an error message like that:
Operation failed
Message no. LDAPRC001
Diagnosis
This is an error message that is triggered by the directory server.
It is not possible to analyze the error in the SAP system.
Procedure
Check the log files for the directory server (if they exist), to see if they contain more information.
i get the same error message when i try the report RSLDAPSYNC_USER.
can anybody help me please?
best regards & TIA
strobbel

Hi...
Red light Operation failed (Message no. LDAPRC001) - This says Opeartion failed due to fail in search
Red light LDAP_SEARCH failed (Message no. LDAPACCESS101) - This says LDAP Search Failed due to Insufficient Privileges to connect from AD to SAP.
So try these ...
. While logging to the directory server did u check the option "USE SYSTEM USER" ?
. And while searching the Seacrh parameters should be as below,
Base Entry : OU=Users,OU=BDN,DC=bdn,DC=xyz
Filter : (&(objectclass=*))
. Also check for the user's privileges which is trying to connect to SAP.
