Succession Planning EHP4 data model, only STVN or backend?

Hi Guys
I'm currently investigating Succession Planning, and I have a few questions that I need confirmed or elaborated.
Running Succession planning with the newest data model, it can only be performed through STVN (Nakisa) or SAP Backend (HRTMC_PPOM, and related transactions)? Succession Planning in SAP Portal is only supported through the old e-Rec data model?
Best regards
Jan

Hi Jan:
First off, as of EHP4, Succession Planning has been completely extracted from e-Recruiting. They are two completely different pieces of functionality with completely different data models.
You can run a completely functional Succession Planning implementation without Nakisa. It will be A LOT less pretty as HRTMC_PPOM is much less attractive than STVN Succession Planning, but the great majority of Talent Management functionality in EHP4 is SAP delivered (as opposed to Nakisa delivered).
Hopefully that helps you out. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Chris

Succession Planning EHP4.0 without NAKISA- Can it work?

Hi all,
Can succession planning work without NAKISA? Are there any comparable screens in the portal where we can use for succession planning?
I know there's HRTMC_PPOM but how about functions such as profile matchup? Where would we do it?
If from R/3, what are the related t-codes for succession planning?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Eric,
SAP's only solution for succession planning is STVN SuccessionPlanning so there are no other portal applications that offer this functionality. The only backend transactions are the HRTMC_PPOx transactions. The following functionality only exists in STVN SuccessionPlanning:
- 9-box (performance v potential) grid
- Profile Match
- Position v successor candidate gap analysis
- Successor calibration
- Bench Strength
- Talent Profile PDF (might be in EhP5)
- Analytics dashboard
If you chose not to use STVN SuccessionPlanning then you have to use the backend transactions and you cannot perform profile match-ups etc.
Best regards,
Luke

Right click in data modeler only shows "properties" choice

Hi:
I've been playing with the data modeler for an existing schema and I am unable to follow the directions in most of the tutorials because supposedly right-clicking on a table in the diagram or on within the data modeler browser is supposed to bring up a menu but when I right click I just see "properties". Is this a permission thing? I've made a relational diagram by dragging the objects from the connections view onto a diagram and I see them all.
In particular, I was trying to create a subview in the browser but right-clicking on subviews[] gives me nothing. The most choices I get at any level are "Show" "Hide" "Properties".
SQL Developer 2.1.1.64, Oracle 10gR2.
Thanks.

Hi Philip:
I was trying to import the data dictionary for my current schemas. I thought I was actually able to do this about a year ago with an earlier version. Do I need the download for that? I can see the complete relational model by dragging and dropping the tables/views into the diagram. But most of the data modeler example start with "File->import->Data Dictionary and I never see those submenus.
Thanks

Issue in creating a custom data model from BP

Hi Team
We have a requirement to create a custom data model by copying data model BP. I have successfully created new data model ZP . I have copied the UI for searching from BP. Issue is when i search a business partner ideally it should not display any entries because i have just created the data model, But it is taking entries from BP and getting displayed. Please let me know how to map data model to search UI. I dont see option USMD_MODEL here

Hi Imran,
actually that is not an issue but a designed feature. I'm afraid that you need to re-think your whole project. The explanations is rather simple:
Data model BP in MDG is a so called Re-Use Area data modell. This means that active data (records that are currently not stored in a change request) are saved in existing SAP ERP data base tables like BUT000 for the business partner master data and LFA1 or KNA1 for Vendor or Customer master data.
If you copy data model BP to ZP you still refer to the same active area. You will always find the same active objects - no matter which data model you are actually using for the user interface. The only difference wil occur for objects being currently processed in a change request. In that case a separation between BP and ZP is possible. But this won't help to solve your issue.
From SAP side I can only recommend not to copy BP but to find a different way of integrating your project needs into BP.
Best regards
Michael

Succession Planning: Suitability Percent Calculation

Hi Experts,
How is Suitability Percentage calculated in Succession planning in Personnel Development Module?
Please guide..
Thanks and Regards,
Neetha

Hi,
in SAP Standard this processes can only be maintained in the backend with code hrtmc_ppom. There definitely no frontend component for succession planning available. Therefor NAKISA STVN can be used, but with additional license costs....
Some customers developed own WDA Apps for some of theses processes. Maybe this is an option for you.

SQL Data Modeler - Startup Problem

Hi
I've created a Relational Model with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler, with a few tables, and everything was working ok.
Yesterday I made some changes to the model, added columns and another table, saved the model and closed the Data Modeler.
Today - when I tried to open the Model, I only get an error "Some objects are not loaded correctly. See the log file for details"
The log at the bottom of the Data Modeler only shows: "Open Design: "nameof model"" and no details of what went wrong. No other details is provided, and as far as i can see - and now I can't view the model at all.
Any ideas how to find the problem/ fix it in order to get the created Model back?
Thanks
Coenraad

Hi Philip
Thanks, I found the log file there. I have cleared the log file, and when I tried to open the model again, it created the below information, any ideas what could be wrong?

Publisher11g - no return data with a data model from logical query

Hi, i am usign publisher11g with obiee bi server autenthication.
On rpd i define a security model with a user variable, a initialization block and a where over one fact table.
When i create a answer report, bi server automatically include on the wher something like this: where user = 'name'.
Well, when i create a publisher report and try to view data from this fact table, return no data.
If i create a data model only with a dimension table, not over automatic where from bi server, the report return data.
View the log nqquery, i see that the generate query include where user ='', not include the value of a session variable.
Any idea?
Thanks.

I do have one question, is the member Balancesheet already in the outline?
Yes
**Measure
Balance Sheet
Profit and Loss**
Also in the load rule did you change the dimension load settings for the accounts dimension to be parent/child for the accounts dimension.
Field Properties -> Dimension Build Properites
Dimension=
Field 1 Measure; Type = Parent
Field 2 Measure; Type = Child
Field 2 Measure; Type = Alais
OK
Quite often people don't realize they have to double click on the dimension name to make sure it gets put as the dimension that gets changed.
I'm pretty sure your issue is it is trying to do the data load and not the dim build,but that could just be the first problem
**Click on Dimension Build Field
Click on Dimension Build setting
Dimension = Measure; Build Method; = Parent/ Child**
Please advise

Trouble saving Data Modeler design 4.0EA3

Hello,
I'm having trouble saving a Data Modeler design. I can create and import tables into a physical model; however, when i save the model (File > Data Modeler > Save) it doesn't appear to be saved correctly since the resulting .dmd file is 0 bytes. If i close the design and reopen it, none of the tables that i created appear.
I'm using version SQL Developer Version 4.0.0.13.30 on Windows 7.
Thanks,
Pete

i don't see any recent errors in the datamodeler.log file. the only entries for the last 2 days are:

if run sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe, the only message in the console is:

no other messages.
I have 3 different builds of sql developer 4.x - they all have this problem. My 3.2 build does not have this problem. So, next, i installed the Data Modeler standalone version (4.0.0.825) and created a physical model with just one table - and i was able to save it! The .dmd had the following content (not 0 byte):
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<OSDM_Design class="oracle.dbtools.crest.model.design.Design" name="test_dm_only" id="986F3685-3223-BAF6-8D69-6C2C4C52718E" version="3.5">

<designId>986F3685-3223-BAF6-8D69-6C2C4C52718E</designId>
</OSDM_Design>
So, looks like the Data Modeler works, but there's a problem with my installation with the full SQL Developer product. One thing that i noticed is that my full SQL Developer install does not have a full list of logical types. I had to manual create a the ones that i use. In the Data Modeler only install, all of the logical types were available out of the box.

Tables in SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER seem to be read only and have a chain symbol in the upper left

I have a bunch of tables in my data model. I have three relational models defined in this file. In one of the models, all the tables seem to be read only. They all have a chain in the upper left hand corner of their box.
I am not using version control, so that are not checked in or anything like that.
How do I unlock these objects? Why to they appear to be locked?
Thanks

It looks like you've linked tables across multiple models or designs.
Does this look about right?

STVN and succession planning

Hi Experts,
IS it mandatory to go for STVN(Nakisa) for implementing Succession planning through Talent management?
RK,

It is not a requirement to use Nakisa's solution extension for Succession Planning. There are backend transactions and portal content supplied for the administration of the processes but you won't get a visualisation of the succession information in a hierarchy.
Read note 2 on the SAP Help page for their stance on this:

Talent Management & Succession Planning

Hi
As part of the EHP4 functional upgrade of HCM core processes for Talent Management such as Succession Planning or talent development is getting switched on.
Any input on the impact it will have on existing BI reports on succession planning which is based on ehp3 data model.
(The latest talent Management and talent development BI content is available only in the release of EHP5 package)
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

Hi Dinu,
It sounds like a data issue. SP is probably reading the HRP1001 values but somewhere the data may have been corrupted or an object incorrectly deleted/unassigned. I would just delete the relationship in PP01 if not actual successor is assigned.
Kind regards,
Luke

Planning area data not updated in infocube in APO system

Hi all,
User is uploading a flat file using addon program to an infocube 1, from this infocube data for sales forecast KF is getting transferred to a planning area KF using standard program RTS_INPUT_CUBE. I can see the updated data in Planning book (which refer the same planning area) data views. In planning book the sales forecast data is also getting copyied to second KF 'Arrangement FC' and its correct.
Now there is a infocube 2 (second) which is getting data directly from this planning area (infocube also contains both KFs). But When i checked this infocube 2 , the updated data is availabe in Sales forecast KF , but arrangement forecast KF is having old data only and user is running query on second KF , so he is getting wrong report.
Since there is no data flow for this infocube 2, and it is getting data from planning area, I feel its remote infocube.
I have also found the datasource for this planning area but don't know how to move further to find why data is not updating properly? Please help on this.
I have information that 2 weeks before data was properly updated, but this time data is not updated,
system version is SAP SCM 4.0

Hi Vivek
it is advisable to run the background jobs when the planning books are not being accesses by the users to prevent such inconsistencis. Hence i would advise you to run the jobs durng non-working hours. and if you have a global system, then you may restrict to run the jobs based on regional levels.
in addition, it is also a good practice to run consistency jobs before and after your have completed the background jobs. i hope you are using process chains to execute the sequeuce of jobs. if yes, then you can add consistency check jobs in the process chains.
some of the consistency check reports are :
/SAPAPO/OM17 - liveCache Consistency Check
/SAPAPO/TSCONS - Consistency Check for Time Series Network
/SAPAPO/CONSCHK - Model Consistency Check
and so and so forth..
you can find these conssistency jobs under APO Adiminstration --> Consistency checks in APO.
let me know if this helps.

Format Trigger on Frames - SQL in data model

I am working on a report that gets data from huge tables that could possibly have millions of records. I have about four different queries in my data model. Each of the queries is attributed to a Frame in my layout model. However depending on the input parameters to the report, I need to suppress some frames.
I know we can simply conditionally set the format trigger (return FALSE) on the frame to turn of its display. But is there a way not to do the SQL query in the first place. In other words is there a way to accomplish this instead of having separate .rdf files. These are very I/O intensive queries and I don't want all the queries to run when the user chooses to see only on of the Frames (views). Remember that in my report each frame has its own query.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

Succession Planning - German text displayed

Hi,
We are experiencing a problem where a German text appears in Career Type column for a position that is displayed on Nakisa screen. The text in the Postion Attribute though is in English.
This happens when slecting Positions ==> All Positions ==> then search for position using position title or position ID. Position ID, Title, Career Type, Career Level, etc columns are then displayed. The Career type text for a position where Career Type and Level values are captured are displayed in German. Can you advise how to fix this.
Succession Planning 2.0; Nakisa 2.1; SAP ECC 6.0, Service Pack 6.
egards,
Ike

Hi Ike,
Ah ha! Now I know the problem! I have correction instructions from SAP that I know are fixed in a later service package for SAP, but I haven't seen a SAP note released with the fix. This is from the OSS message:
there is an error in the Enterprise Search modelling which has been
corrected by support packages in the meantime.
In the technical template SUBTYP the field SUTXT in the node
T777U is not marked as text field. So the search does not know
that this field contains a language dependent text which has only
to be provided in the logon language.
The modeling in SAP-Standard has been corrected in the meantime
by support packages. You can correct the error in advance by
changing the technical template subtyp as indicated in the attached
picture: You only have to check the field "contains text".
For this you probably need to create your own software package and then include EA-HRGXX because some nodes in the standard software component cannot be changed.
Best regards,
Luke

SQL Developer Data Modeler - integration with subversion

I just discovered the release of SQL Developer Data modeler, and found this to be very interesting.
We are still using Oracle Designer for database design, but we are looking for a replacement (for several reasons).
My question is quite simple:
Given that the modeler uses a filebased repository, and also given that we have several developers potentially working on a data-model at the same time, how does Data Modeler integrate with subversion for source control etc.?
Can the repository itself be under source control, and checked in/out directly from Data Modeler?
Or will only the output files be candidates for version/source control?
Let me admit right away that I have not read much of the data modeler docs, and I have also not downloaded/installed it (yet), but does anyone have pointers to docs on this , or general input/knowledge around it.
On a side note, I must say that it puzzles me that a company like Oracle, that delivers one of the best databases doesn't use its database engine to host the repository, but instead chooses to go for files (I assume xml) "scattered all over the place"....
Well, I guess they a have a reason for it..
Anyway:
Sql Developer Data Modeler and Subversion anyone?
Jens

Hi Jens,
It's early days and the initial implementation is indeed file based. Though I'd say not xml files "all over the place", but in ordered folders. Yes, as a database company it does make sense that we'd have a repository for managing and versioning metadata. However the tool supports Oracle and other databases and many companies use open source version control tools, such as Subversion and so anyone using the Data Modeler today can use it with Subversion regardless of the database they are designing for.
We do plan to have a repository, but in the 6+ months of the early adopter program found that many of the early adopters were happy to place the files under source code control using Subversion and in so doing also managed the multi-user development.
Integrated Subversion support is planned for a future release.
