SSHR - MSS ICD (Individual comp Distr) if chained in Hire workflow commits

hello -
I have inlcuded the ICD(Individual Compensation Distribution) workflow function inside the seeded Hire workflow processes.
the seeded sequence is -
Emp Details > Asg Details > Pay Rate > Change Manager > Review
I have customized it to -
Emp Details > Asg Details > Pay Rate > ICD> Change Manager > Review
However, I as soon as I am moving from the pay rate page to the ICD page, the data is committed to the tables and there is a row in the per_all_people_f table with null employee number. The same behavior is replicated if ICD is after the change manager function. Upon submitting the workflow background process, the a new row in person table is getting generated with a valid employee number.
Please advise whether I am making some error in the chaining process , or do we need to set up some attributes differently to prevent this commit. Or is this a bug with Oracle.
Page 8 of chapter 1 ( Page 40 in document SSHR User guide version 4.2 ) says that ICD workflow is chainable, hence I am trying to chain this function in the Hire Process between the pay rate function & Change Manager Function.

Hi Vinayaka -
Thanks for your reply. It does provide me some insight into the reasons for this behavior, however when I searched for the participation process requests submitted in the last 2 days, I could not find any request related to the participation process.
Also, I tried to include the ICD in the Worker Status Change ( WSC ) Process, and it works perfectly fine there. If the participation process runs in commit mode, then half of the data entered in the pages prior to the ICD page should be committed, is this not correct ? But in WSC, it does not commit the data.
Hence, I am not too sure whether this is the intended functionality or whether it could be a bug.
Please do let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Tushar

In MSS, can Managers view information of Future Dated Hires & do EIT entry?

In MSS, can Managers view information of Future Dated Hires & do EIT entry? We followed Metalink NOTE:459876.1 but still not working.
Thanks,
Peter

I have looked at the document you referred to. The personalisation described may not work on its own. You would need to make sure that the security profile allows these 'future' people to be seen. For example, is the supervisor marked on the assignment?
I am a bit sceptical that this method would work, but hope it dioes! Let me know if the suggestion is of any use.

Firewire drives work individually; fail when daisy chained

I have 3 FW400 drives daisy-chained. All was fine until a couple of weeks ago when I started having problems with drives randomly freezing up or unmounting, especially when writing large amounts of data (e.g., during a backup.)
Despite multiple repairs with Disk Utility, running Disk Warrior & reformatting one of the drives, the problem continues.
But--each drive works fine when connected directly to the Mac.
-Does this indicate a problem with the chipset in one of the drives? (I already ran Hardware Test on my G5.)
-Would a Firewire hub solve this problem?

I have seen this problem before. It could be a chipset failure but it may be that each of the chipsets has the same ID. This causes problems with connecting them all at once. It seems to me that recent changes in Mac OS X can cause FW enclosures with the same ID to have problems connecting at the same time.
One way you can verify this is if the enclosures also have USB 2.0 connections you will find they work with one on FireWire and the other two on USB.
If an ID problem is your situation, even a hub will not help. If you have a friend with a hub or you have a WiebeTech Maxelerate you can use its hub to verify if a hub will work or not.
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/max/
You might want to contact the FW enclosure manufacturer and see what they believe the issue is. Quite frankly, if you need to use more than a single enclosure or hard drive at a time I would consider external SATA. It is a lot more reliable for me.
Have fun,
Michael

How to see render/encode time for individual comps rendered in AME?

After rendering a number of comps in AME, following the new recommended workflow for H.264, I don't see any display of how long each render was. I do see a total for all the encodes at the top of the AME window. In the AE Render Queue, I can see when each render was started, and how long it took to complete.
Where can I get that information in AME?

Hi Experts,
Request your valuable inputs and support on achieving the above requirements.
Looking forward for your responses.

SSHR - MSS - include Benefits page in the Hire function

Hello -
My client's requirement is to include the Benefits function in the "Hire" sequence of pages in Manager Self Service.
The sequence of pages required for "Hire" is--
Enter Basic Details > Person Details > Assignment > Pay Rate > Benefits > Review
Now, Benefits is inside SSBEN item type, whereas rest of the functions is in HRSSA. I want to know how we can achieve this requirement.
Can we create a workflow function in HRSSA and somehow point it to the benefits page? What else need to be done to achieve the functionality.
Thanks
Tushar Kumar - Atlanta

Hi Tushar,
SSBEN is built and configured differently from other manager SS functions and so, it will not be possible to integrate it with other flows (Especially Hire) You can add the benefits function to the manager SS menu and the managers can separately go and provide benefits to employees.
In most cases, benefits can be defaulted for employees and the rest are chosen by employees themselves. why is there a requirement for managers to do it ?
Regards.

Comp Planning MSS iview display

But I want to display only the employees eligible for the LTI plans on the comp planning iview and not all the employees within the reporting structue. Can someone please tell me how to achieve this on the MSS iview for comp planning.
I really appreciate any help in this regard.

What is the difference between Process Type TRIGGER AND CHAIN

What is the difference between these two process types. When I am looking process types, I want to provide information only about process chains and not individual steps of process chain. Looks like one can do using either.
Along the same line, I am looking at data from RSPCPROCESSLOG, no where this table has a column process chain id. So How od I find information about a process chain.
Thanks a lot,

A "Chain Process" can be a a step in a Process Chain as well. For Example: So you could have the following Process Chain:
Process Chain Example
Step 1. TRIGGER (Execute Daily at 4am)
Step 2. DTP_LOAD Execute DSO Load
Step 3. DTP_LOAD Execute InfoCube Load
Step 4. CHAIN Execute Master Data Process Chain
I believe the "Master Chain" is called a "MetaChain" since it controls the start of another Process Chain.
Hope that helps...

Email notification in Process chain

Hi Gurus,
Can any one tell me if job fails or update the records immediately user should get notified with email.How to achieve this in Process Chain.I searched in forms but I could not get relevant answer.Please any one can tell me the step by step process.
Looking forwar for valuable answers.
Thanks,
Srini

Dear srini rao ,
You can send messages to an application process of the chain, depending on the success or failure of the process.
1. To do this, using the context menu for a process, create another process variant of type Send Message.
2. If you maintain a message, first specify whether you want the message to be sent when the process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully. Then choose Next.
3. A dialog box appears, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4. If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent and maintain a list of recipients.
5. Save your process variant and go back.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log are also sent.
Note, you must configure SAPconnect in order to ensure that your system can send email - use transaction SCOT if this has not been configured.
It's set as a property for an individual process in the chain. You would have to set on each process where you want notification.
One technique you might consider, is that tou can create a "meta-chain" made up of local chains, and you can set a message on each of the "local chain" processes in the meta-chain

Process chain with ABAP reports included

Hello !
I need help regardin an issue.
I have a process chain with the processes:
1) Start
2) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
3) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a first variant of the report
4) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
5) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a second variant of the report
6) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
7) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a third variant of the report
report that has a system message : has 3 variants
The reports work each individual, but in the chain , when I execute, I must see some system messages and there is nothing
I assigned for the processes the right reports, including the variants for the processes 3, 5, 7.
Do you have some clue? I can't imagine why they don't work in this process chain.
Thank you.

In RSPC transaction -
create your process chain
To include ABAP program --- expand General Services --- Select ABAP program -
drag and drop it in right panel
Create process variant -
provide program name and program variant(if exists)

How to make a comp from selection using clip names

I have a lot of footage imported into AE7 and I am looking for a way to make an individual comp for each clip using the clip's name as the comp name. When I use the "Comp from Selection. . ." menu item, AE creates a comp name with the next sequential number available.
For example, if my clips have names like "Subclip 1, Subclip 2, Subclip 3. When I use the make comp for selection option, AE will make a comp from each clip, but it will name the comps Subclip 4, Subclip 5, Subclip 6, starting from the last sequential number from the clip names.
Is there a way to do this without scripting? Or and easy way to do it with scripting?
Thanks

Thanks, TimeRemapper this function still works in AE7, but it generates the same result as selecting all the clips and selecting File>New Comp From Selection. . .
I tried a set of files with unique names instead of a series of clips with the same clip name followed by a number. The list of unique named files generated a Comp with the number 2 after each comp name for every new comp created.

Comp Planning - 2 Level Approval

Hi comp gurus ( I am coining a new Variation of Guru here ),
System Landscape
ECC 6.0
ECM ( Enterprise compensation Management)
EP 7.0
Currently we have deployed the Enterprise compensation management module. We have a standard compensation scenario where the comp planners use the comp planning screen( Via MSS) to perform the comp planning and the comp approvers, use the comp approval screen to approve the planned(submitted) compensation.
But we have a slightly different scenario where we want to have 2 levels of approvals before the comp record is set to 'Approved' status in IT 0759.
Let me explain it in detail
Lets assume that we have Manager A who is the manager of B, B is the manager of C and C is the manager of D.
C performs comp planning for D. A record is created in IT0759 for D in planning/submitted status. B can now log on and approve the comp planning/submitted comp records by C. Here we do not want the planning record to set to "approved" status when it is approved by B. But we want this to go to Manager A who can then give the final approval and only then should the record in IT0759 status be changed to Approved.
The matters gets more complicated by the fact that, the comp planners and approvers see the data(in MSS) based on OADP and not based on any workflows. Obviously I cannot create a new status for the IT0759 records. Based on your experience what is the best way to handle these scenario.
Any suggestions
regards
Raj
Edited by: Raj Kishore on Jul 10, 2008 2:46 PM

Santosh I really appreciate your inputs.
I just think that this approach would bring in a lot of enhancements
I would have to change the underlying FMs to trigger WF rather than the IT0759 "status" change FM. Build WFs. Change OADP "status" update FM, and other changes which I may get to know when we start designing the solution if we go this way. But I would (infact am) surely consider this option. But I will be really suprised, if I will have to go thsi route. Adding another approval level seems to me a pretty common requirement and if this involves a major development and maintanance effort, the clients will not be happy
Can others also please provide your inputs here.

Have you looked at using the 'Implicit Enhancements' options available in the function module HR_ECM_CHANGE_PROC_STATUS? I think you can reset the status from 'approved' to 'submitted' at the end of the standard code & send out an email to the next level manager. I'm guessing there will not be a need to change anything else.
