Although the opinion is very subjective, I wld say SAPs HR solution is better than Oracle. My opinion is based on several things, i am not just judging the product superiority but things that affect in a larger picture
1)size,industry,Geography of the business in question is something to consider while deciding an ERP. because issues like scalability,Integration and most importantly Localisation are of major significance.
different legislation governs employment in different countries and as far as i know SAP does a great job in localization..and their efforts continue still with growing UNICODE significance. its is also strong in localising a major HR process i.e PAYROLL. Also its intergration with number of industries supported too is extensive compared to Oracle.
2)with introduction of Netweaver SAPs proved to be a Agressive competitor in terms of provising great user experience with simple and effective user interface.
which is of greater significance in todays world of superior UI design.
3)SAP HR has evolved with SOA,its ESS and MSS functionalities are not limited to typical HR operations but efforts are on way to extending them to accomodate Composite Application Framework and Colloboration Tools. so for any product company Investment in research/ future technologies and functionalities shows its longevity in competitive market.
4)SAP was essentially a leader in European Market whereas Oracle has strength in US market..but the coporate Marriage of SAP with Microsoft in the form of Duet only shows the tip of an iceberg as to what plans SAP has to extend its market share. Most companies adore the simple and straightforward usage of MS Outlook...now for end users performing SAP functions thru the same interface is a dream come true. SAP HR features are significant in DUET.
5) Not sure where i read but i believe SAP HR implimentation has become very affordable even to small busineses.The time frame for entire end-to-end impliemntation user training etc everything is significantly faster and cheaper.
(Lots of us Hr consultants do a great job with less pay
so if i keep myself in a businessmans Shoe analysing which ERP gives me ROI and Superior functionality within my budget..and is scalable etc
or as a end user who doesnt find using SAP interface too complex
or as a SAP HR Consultant...whose jobs is secure for years to come
I wld Vote for SAP
P.s opinion shared is entirely personal based on my knowledge and experience any discripancies otherwise can be pointed i wld correct myself.

SAP HCM Or Oracle HCM Module - Certification

Hi,
I always wanted to ask the expert before I take a jump on my career, can any one please help me. To give you a little back ground on my profile, before I ask the Golden Question. I am currently not working and have a solid 3 + Years of Exp in Recruitment and post recruitment.
Which is the best certification SAP HCM or Oracle HCM Module?
Can any one answer the above question with lot of data keeping the current MARKET Condition?
I have been asking lot of people on this subject, most of them are not able to give me the proper information. Awaiting your expert advice.
Warm Regards,
Zulfikarlos

Hi,
Go for SAP HCM. Eventhough Oracle is taking over many companies, SAP still prevails.
My suggestion is that, first you try to get a job in your domain. It's better if you join a company who practices SAP. So that, you can have first hand experience on the SAP HCM/HR.
Then try doing the Certification.
You would have taken certification, if you were a fresher. As such you have 3+ years exp.
Generally for any job opportunity, employer will look for the candidate who is currently working if he is not a fresher.
While you working you can get certification with eLearning. Now so many institutions are offering this. Also, the fees is 50% less.
All the best.

Obtaining the list of data interfaced out of SAP HCM

Hello,
we got a good challenge from our partners in the business organization that we support. The Data Privacy officer on the business partner side would like to know:
- what other systems are "takers" of the data from our SAP HCM instance
- what data pieces (what tables, fields...) are being interfaced out
- what is the frequency of that
We are trying to maintain the document whenever a new interface is being built but in practice you know how it looks like.In order to have 100% confidence in the anwser I would want to pull such list from the system. Is there a way to do that? What would you suggest?
Regards,
Pawel

Try the function below, pass the item name and get the Data provider for that particular item, you will have to do this for all the items in the template.
function getDPName(item){
     prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(item);
     var tableHidden=true;
     if (prop != null){
       for(i=1;i<prop.length;i++){
         if (prop<i>[0] == "DATA_PROVIDER")
               return prop<i>[1]
       }//end for
     }//end if
}//end function
Thanks.

Dear All,what are the major issues in implementation in sap hcm

what are the major issues in implementation in SAP HCM project scope is PA ,OM,TIME, INDIA PAYROLL

Hi Ramjan,
Try to have a clear understanding of requirements and find the best solution in SAP. Keep as much as possible everything standard and based on SAP best practices.
In PA look for a comprehensive enterprise structure. It's base for everything.
DON"T do anything through development(ABAP code) as much as possible specially in PT and PY. Try to do claculation by PCRs and Schema.

PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

Hi all,
in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.
is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:
1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.
2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.
I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.
are there any doc or blog which shows this.
is possible with/wihout PI.
We have follwoing things installed.
1. PI 7.1 SP4.
2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.
are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).
basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.
I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".
thanks,
Madhu.

Integrating SuccessFactors PMS solution With SAP HCM without saving any employee master data in SF

Hi Friends,
We’re implementing SuccessFactors’s Performance Management Solution only at one of the client location in Saudi Arabia and trying to integrate with the On-Premise SAP HCM and Push the employee data to SF.
However, due to security concerns customer doesn’t want to store any data on SucessFactors cloud solution to run the PMS cycle.
During the purchase of license for SuccessFactors SAP has demonstrated client that, in SF a unique Id will be created for each employee, which will not be the actual UserID(PERNR)from SAP, and with this unique ID actual employee data will be tagged/linked in SF which will fetch the data from SAP On-Premise system to run the PMS cycle. Once the user logins in SF, based on the unique ID data will fetch from SAP On-Premise system to SF on a real time basis and when the user logged out from the SF system, data should be cleared/deleted and nothing will be saved or stored in SF with respect to employee Master Data.
I understand SAP has provided the standard add-on for the Employee Data Scenario between SuccessFactors and SAP HCM, which could have been leveraged here for integration using PI, however with the above limitation this solution is absolutely out of scope.
Please advice, is there any solution where with PI if we can achieve the above requirement of client.
Thanks,
Farhan

SAP Adaptor for Oracle Installation Help

Hi,
I am newbie, I am looking for help in installing SAP Adaptor for Oracle.
My Idea is to do some RFC calls to fetch data from SAP into Oracle database. I am looking for what is my starting points, what to install and configurations. If you can help me with steps to be followed is really Appreciative. I tried to search in Oracle Forums, I guess I am not able to come up with correct tags. It may be a long explanation and may be people asked this question before. If you give me links to read is good enough.
Following is My platform:
Oracle:
I have Oracle 10G and 11 versions. Right now I have my infrastructer ready for 10G. If I install SAP Adaptor and get things running according to what I need, and tomorrow if I upgrade Oracle to 11 version, What all the things that I Upgrade?
Operating System:
Unix AIX 5.3
SAP:
ECC 6
Thanks In Advance,
Raj Murthy(Bhavaraju)

Hello,
Right now I have my infrastructer ready for 10G. If I install SAP Adaptor and get things running according to what I need, and tomorrow if I upgrade Oracle to 11 version, What all the things that I Upgrade?About all the topics relatives to SAP, you should ask them (to SAP support service) the question. For instance, is Oracle 11.2 certified for SAP ECC6 ? Or would you have to wait for a later release or patch from SAP ?
Only SAP could answer you for their own product and matrix compatibility / certification.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

To implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I have SAP ECC 6.0 system already implemented 2 years back.
I am planning to implement SAP HCM with OM, PA, SAP Time management, SAP PAYROLL in existing SAP ECC 6.0 system.
I have currently 3 system landscape for SAP ECC.
I would like to know what change/addition is required in above landscape to implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0
Do share your view.

Hi.
As per you, Already designed Landscape. Why dont you follow you existing Landscape which is alredy proved for other modules.
Normally Dev/Quality/Production clients will there..
If more that depends upon flexibility in Each client and defining different business for testing and production interfaces purpose.
Better use Existing only remaining modules already sucessfully running in Production Right????

Help in getting into SAP HCM

Hi All,
I am very new to this community. I was earlier working as a SAP ABAP HR consultant. 6 months Back I did my certification in SAP HCM ECC 6.0 and started working as a techno functional consultant. To explore my self in this new dimension I need guidance in HR functional ground. I would request here to provide me your valuable suggestions how to approach. Also I request all of you to please share with me relevant documents/videos, if any. Materials (i am having certification materials) relevant to any SAP HCM sub modules would be of great help though I am currently working in payroll. my personal email id is deleted
Thanks & Regards,
Chandra

You know, asking for documentation and material isn't permitted on these forums. It's probably a good idea to check out the rules before beginning any new project.
what do you think?

Field Name     Description                     Value (For: E.g.:)
CON_NAME     Logical name            RAJ
DBMS          Database system        MSS
USER_NAME     Database user          <username>

MSSQL_SERVER=depotserver MSSQL_DBNAME=HOF_INDORE
DB_RECO                              Availability type for an open database connect
Step 2: Now you can write code to connect to the external database
Your Sample code can be something like this
EXEC SQL.
    CONNECT TO 'RAJ' AS 'V'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
    SET CONNECTION 'V'
ENDEXEC.
*- Get the data from MS-SQL Server
EXEC SQL.
