Self service api for 11.1.2 B2B???

Hi All,
I have installed 11.1.2 Soa suite and B2B comes along with it.. I wanted the pointer to documentation that explains about using the self-service APIs for tp and agreement creation....
Regards,
Praveen

Hi Nitesh..
I was successfull in creating the TP by using the following xml..

Mass creation of Oracle HR Self Service Users (for access to all employees)

Mass creation of Oracle HR Self Service Users (for access to all employees)
Hi all,
We have Oracle Human Resources 11.5.7 and recently implement Oracle HRMS (Self Service) for the purpose of Online Appraisal System.
Is there any fast way to create all employees as users of the Self Service instead of creating the users manually one by one in HR?
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanking you in advance.

Self Service Requests for OIM Access Policies

In the absence of a Role Management product, is there a good way to enable OIM End User Self Service to process requests and approvals for OIM Access Policies or OIM Groups?
Any suggestions are appreciated!
KC

Ultimately the group membership will trigger an access policy. The access policy assignment is the goal, the group assignment is the typical method to assign the access policy to the user.
When creating a dummy resource, I assume that resource would have a lookup on the form to select the group name. Is this what you are suggesting?

Reg Self Service Personalization for Termination transaction

Hi All,
I am new to self service personalization. User wants to personalize the self servie pages.
User Requirement: our client has diffetent self service transactions like
Payroll Name and Subgroup Change
Termination
Location Only Changes
People Group Only Changes etc.
Whenever user is selecting Termination as transaction, and continued to the next step, calendar shows up to select the date for termination. Here I need to personalize such that user should select last day of the employee as termination date rather than following day.
Eg: Employee last date is 01-oct-2009, prersently some users are taking 02-oct-2009 as termination date assuming that 01-oct-2009 is the last working day. For payroll process, 01-oct-2009 needs to be last day of the employee and he needs to terminate same date for processing.
Please advise me.

You can't do this through personalization. You need to extend the page controller to restrict it.
Thanks

Self Service Approvals for Salary Elements other than Base Salary

Hi
I hava a requirement. With Self Serviuce seeded functionality I can have base salary approvals in place and after approvals the base salary changed. Now this base salry is attached to the salary Element called 'Basic'
Now there are other salary elements too, like Housing Allowance, Conveyance allowance etc. Is it possible through seeded self srervice functionality to have this salary changed functionality through approvals??
So far I know, salary approvals work for base salary only. Is there any way (no customnization), where I can have other salary elements also in Manager sels service approvals?
Any response into this will ne highly appreciated!
Regards

Thanks, sorry for this delayed reply! This surely helps! Yes, we can do through customization using element apis, but then client has to accept is as CR!

Please help me with this problem

This is a pain; this can happen when users manage to submit or approvel leave of absence transactions without selecting a responsibility first.
It's when you select a responsibility that the HR initialisation is performed, including setting the Business Group and Security Profile context. No responsibility selected = no proper initialisation.
How can a user do this? Easy:
a) Access a Saved For Later notification from the worklist and continue the transaction
b) Access an item via Favourites
c) Approve a transaction via a notification in the worklist
d) Approve a notification by accessing a link through an email notification
What can you do about it?
Well if your single Business Group and you haven't enabled multiple security groups you can usually just set HR: Security Profile and HR: Business Group at the Site level.
If you're multiple Business Groups or you have enabled multiple security groups then you may need to consider:
• Removing the worklist from the home page (or making the Subject non-clickable)
• Removing Favourites functionality
• Disallowing email notifications from being clickable (this is a customisation)

Error from LOA Self service page for few employees

Hi
I have a problem in our production environment were few employees are receiving the following error when they enter absences from LOA SS.
We did not make any security profile changes. Please advise.
1. java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20001: An error occurred when trying to retrieve the default person type for your business group. Please check that you have a business group and a security profile assigned to your responsibility. Depending on your security setup, you can do this either by viewing the HR:Business Group and HR Security Profile profile options, or by viewing your responsibility in the Assign Security Profile window. You must also check that you have a default and active Assignment Status Type defined for your business group. If the above are set correctly then report this problem to your System Administrator. ORA-06512: at "APPS.PQP_GB_OSP_FUNCTIONS", line 6712 ORA-06512: at line 1

Self service - request for groups - OIM

I would like to allow end-user to request groups from end-user interface?
I would appreciate your guidance...
Out of the box only resources are available for request.

I can suggest you one approach to meet this req.
1. Create a scheduler which will fetch all groups(findGroups()) in OIM and write the result to Lookup, say Lookup.OIM.Groups
2. Create a Process Form with a a field as Groups and make the field type as lookup type and attach the lookup Lookup.OIM.Groups to this field.
3. Create an adapter which would use addMemberUser() in groupOperations and adds the user to specific group.
4. Create a RO, say "Provision Groups" then create a Process Def and attach the above created adapter to process task, say "Add User to OIM group".
Have an approval process in place which allows users to select a group and request for approval. Once approval completes the task "Add User to OIM group" gets called which adds the user to specific group.
It would be better if you show Groups field in child form which allows user to add more groups.
This is one approach which i can think of as of now.
lets see what experts say..

VLAN Tagging for VMs created through self service

Experts !
I am evaluating SCVMM 2012 R2 along with HyperV. The aim is to provide a self service portal for each departments so that they can take care of provisioning and management of their VM. Each department will be using a dedicated VLAN which will be in the TRUNK.
I am planning to make a Priviate Cloud for each group.
Group1 - Private Cloud 1 - VLAN101
Group2 - Private Cloud 2 - VLAN 102
How should we enforce the VMs deployed by each group gets the right VLAN tagging based on the VLAN assigned for them?
At this moment, I dont see that self service user or even an ADMIN get an option to assign a specific VLAN while deploying from template.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
InsideVirtualization.com

First you create a logical network for each network/VLAN you will use. In the logical network you will specify IP Subnet and VLAN. Then create VM Networks for each logical network.
Then you create logical switch and use appropriate teaming mode. Then create a uplink port profile which will be used with the logical switch to specify what logical networks can connect to the logical switch.
Then you connect the logical switch to the correct NICs on the hyper-v servers and use the uplink port profile.
That´s shortly explained. You might want to read more here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2013/01/08/virtual-networking-in-vmm-2012-sp1.aspx
It´s pretty most the same in SP1.

OIM self service

I am looking for information on creating a self service application for OIM which will be almost similar to the one offered by OIM but with some customizations.
This application should interact with OIM via OIM API's. Has anyone implemented such requirement before.

Sure. That is a common use case.
The most widely architecture is to write the self service application in whatever language or environment that the organization is comfortable in and then use web services to talk to some Java code that calls into OIM using the APIs.

Self Service Personalization Making a Flex Required

I have added a flex field into my self service pages for iProcurement/Requisitions and it is working fine. The user base would like the field to be required but we cannot require it at the DFF definition because that would break PO's for us. Is there a way to make this field (a simple poplist of 4 values) to be required in Self Service pages without checking it as required in the FF definition? I see other field types like a Messgae Choice and the like have a "required" attribute, but the Flex does not.
Any thoughts?

I haven't been able to get this to work. I'm trying to change the Returns form in Receiving to force the user to enter a reason code when they do a return. When does the WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD event occur? Is it when you press SAVE? I've set it up to give the user an error message when the reason_code field is null, but it's not working. It allows me to save with a null reason_code.
Thanks for your help.

HRMS Self Service User Comments

Hi Experts,
We need to capture user comments displayed in either the REVIEW or the APPROVAL Self Service page for reporting purpose.
Checked HR tables and Workflow Notification tables, but was not able to find these user comments data.
Thanks in advance.

I am extracting data from these three tables along with an activity history view. Note that only comments to "Salary Changes" are stored in the P_COMMENTS of the transaction values table. User comments entered by Personnel actions initiator to approver, or approver's comments do not exist in the values table. Please provide the table name and column name storing the user comments described above if you know their storage location. Thanks.

SSO to SAP EP6 (for Employee Self Service) using WebSEAL

Hi SDN friends,
We are about to embark on a SSO implementation using IBM WebSEAL for SAP EP6 ESS (Employee Self Service) connecting through to an SAP R/3 4.7 server. Since the ESS solution for 4.7 still uses ITS services, this means that we have ITS iViews in the EP6 portal.
We have managed to look through the whitepaper 'IBM Tivoli Access Manager - Single Sign On for SAP NetWeaver - September 2005' described at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/ibm
We have the following queries, if anybody has a simple answer to these:
- Is it absolutely necessary to configure an SNC connection between ITS/EP6 and R/3 server to achieve SSO for the portal?
- Given that SAP EP6 references ITS IAC iviews, is it necessary for us to configure both ITS and EP6 for SSO, or can we simply configure EP6 for SSO? If so, is it also necessary to configure both for SSL?
- Otherwise, how easy is it to set up SSO in this scenario without SSL (for demo purposes)?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
John Moy

Hello John,
regarding your questions:
ad 1) no. SNC is only mandatory if you use X.509-based SSO to R/3. You can also use SAP logon ticket-based SSO from EP to R/3 or usermapping that do both not require SNC.
ad 2) yes, you have to configure both EP and ITS at WebSeal.
ad 3) you can always omit SSL. However for production use, it is recommended.

Michael
