Suggestion: map function for contacts

suggestion for iphone contacts - i think it would be awesome if there was a "map" function associated w the contacts addresses, so that if you are traveling or whatnot you could pull up an area and see what friends are around there, i know facebook had a similar app for a while, but a lot of people no longer but their addresses on there or just aren't on facebook, this way you would see where their actual location is based on what is in your phone

Find My Friends already does this.

  • Mapping table for contact person download from ECC and Groupware

    There are 3 connected system in our landscape:
    - CRM
    - Groupware (connected to CRM)
    - ECC
    We have a requirement that the Contact Person can be created in any of the above 3 system and should flow to the other. So, the below scenarios are valid in our case:
    1.  Contact created in Groupware, flows to CRM ->ECC
    2.  Contact created in ECC flows to CRM-> Groupware
    3.  Contact created in CRM flows to Groupware and ECC
    Our flow system works fine and the contacts created in one system, flows to the other 3 and any changes also flow.
    The problem is that for the contacts created in ECC, the communication data (phone, email etc) flow in CRM and get updated in the "Work Address" section in the Contact display screen in Web UI and the updates from Groupware for communication data gets updated in "Main Address" section.
    Can anyone please advise what are the mapping tables for the address update when the contact is created in :
    - Groupware/CRM
    - ECC
    Regards

    Hi Christophe,
    Thanks for the response.
    I checked for the notes you suggested, but having read it it doesnt appear to address my problem. Did you get this from SAP as fix to solve' specify the name of contact person' error in SMW01 ? Unfortunately even SAP isnt replying to me on this.
    I am also not getting any dump, all my queues are getting cleared in ECC and CRM. My error remains 'specify the name of contact person'. Interestingly when i tried to push the contact person directly as bupa_main..it too failed with the same error..more interestingly whenver my contact person tried to get replicated as bupa_rel..ecc does eat up a number assignment..but no record is created for it in ecc...the smw01 says partiaslly send ..receivers has error..

  • Filter Function for Contacts.app

    Apple Contacts.app needs to be able to filter contacts with more flexible criteria.
    I have maybe hundreds of useless contacts synced from Gmail. Neither Apple Contacts nor Google Contacts offers an ability to filter contacts with following criteria:
    - have phone number but no email
    - have email but no phone number
    - have name but neither phone number nor email
    - don't have name but both name and phone number
    These filters seems impossible to achieve through the existing keyword search. (Maybe with "@" ?) and these would help organize my contacts dramatically more efficiently. For example:
    - I would delete all contacts without either an email nor a phone number
    - I would categorize all contacts without phone numbers into a group
    - I would name all contacts with both name and phone number
    Therefore, this improvement would be very useful.

    Is the exception you made STATEFUL? If it's not stateful the return
    packets will be dropped.

  • Making a User Defined Function for Mapping in XI

    Hi folks..
    I knw how to make User defined Function in XI,
    i was wondering about can we have any room for making a function for Initializing Purpose, which intializes few fields in source Message to some Global variables, and later we can use these Global Variables to set the the Target field
    My Doubt is this...
    i have Source & target Structure like this Structure like this....
    SOURCE  TEST DATA IS... 
    Parentsrc                   
        child1src a              
        child2src b              
        child3src c                     
        child4src hi
        child4src hello
        child4src hey            
    (On the basis of instances of child4src the istance of the Parentdst will be generated)                                        
    TARGET DATA SHUD BE LIKE THIS....
    Parentdst                    
        child1dst a              
        child2dst b              
        child3dst c

        child2dst b              
        child3dst c                     
        child4dst hey

    Hi
    You have to modify  your target structure:
    <b>Source</b>
    Parentsrc
    child1src a
    child2src b
    child3src c
    child4src hi
    child4src hello
    child4src hey
    <b>Target</b>
    <b>root</b>
    Parentdst
    child1dst a

    child4dst hi
    Parentdst
    child1dst a
    child2dst b
    child3dst c
    child4dst hello
    Parentdst
    child1dst a
    child2dst b
    child3dst c
    child4dst hey
    <b></root></b>
    Now map like this:
    child4src -
    Parentdst
    child1src--|
    child4src--| UseOneAsMany -- Splitbyvalue --- child1dst
    child4src--|
    child2src--|
    child4src--|UseOneAsMany --Splitbyvalue --- child2dst
    child4src--|
    child3src--|

    child4src--|
    child4src -- SplitbyValue -- child4src.

    Benefit Administration:
    This section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) is where you set the SAP Benefits Administration component.
    Here you enter in the system all the details of the benefit plans offered by your company.
    Benefit Area:
    Benefit areas allow you to have separate administration of different benefit plan pools. This division is primarily for administrational purposes and would not normally be used for eligibility
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Benefit Area
    Assign Currency to Benefit Area:
    In this step, you specify the currency for the benefit area
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Assign Currency
    this step, you enter the providers of the benefit plans you offer.
    This could be the Insurance company, or Health Maintenance Organization that receives the benefit plan costs
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Benefit Providers
    In this step, you set relevant benefit area for your Customizing activities
    If you have more than one benefit area to set up, you must set up each independently. After you have set up all the plans in one area, you must return to this view, set the next current benefit area and work through the IMG again, setting up the new benefit area.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Set Current Benefit Area
    Benefit Plan Types:
    In this step, you enter the benefit plan types that you require for the plan categories predefined in the system.
    The following plan categories are provided by MSD:
    • Health Plans
    o Medical
    o Dental
    o Vision
    • Insurance Plans
    o Basic Life
    o Supplemental Life
    o Accidental Death & Dismember
    • Savings Plans
    o 403B
    o 457
    o PERS (Public Employees retirement Scheme for CP Benefit Plan) & TRS
    (Teachers Retirement Scheme for TP Benefit Plan)
    • Flexible Spending Accounts
    o Health care
    o Dependent care
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Plan Attributes &#61664; Define Benefit Plan Types
    Define Benefit Plan Status:
    It is important that you assigning statuses in order to be able to control the availability of plans with a minimum of effort. For example, you can control whether or not employees can enroll in a plan simply by changing its status
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Plan Attributes &#61664; Define Benefit Plan Status
    Benefit Plan Status:
    In this step, you define parameter groups. You decide which groups you require in two stages:
    1. You consider which costs, credits, coverage and employee and employer contributions for your plans vary according to the age, salary and/or seniority of employees (or possibly the age of the employee's spouse).
    2. You determine the different ways in which you need to divide your employees according to different value ranges for these criteria.
    It is not possible to define overlaps of ranges for a criterion within a single parameter group. Therefore, if you require different employee groupings for different plans, you need to create a separate parameter group.
    For each unique combination of criteria and their values, you need to define a parameter group.
    In this step, you simply create the parameter groups to which you assign groups for the individual criteria in the following steps. You later refer to the parameter groups, where applicable, in the individual rule variants for plans. Since one parameter group can be referenced by multiple plans, Customizing effort is kept to a minimum. In the plan variant, you also have the flexibility of being able to specify that you only want to use certain criteria values belonging to a parameter group, for example, age ranges
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Employee Groupings &#61664; Define Employee Criteria Groups &#61664; Define Parameter Groups
    Age Groups:
    In this step, you define the age groups for the parameter groups that you defined in a previous step.
    Depending on your needs, you may find for some parameter groups, you can leave out this step, if for example there is no requirement to differentiate between employees based on age
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Employee Groupings &#61664; Define Employee Criteria Groups &#61664; Define Age Groups
    Age Groups under Parameter grouping “PAR1”
    Cost Groupings:
    In the parameter group you could differentiate between employees based upon age, salary and seniority. Here you can further differentiate between employees, based on other employee criteria, such as geographical location, job classification, marital status and so on. Only set up this feature, if you find that the parameter group does not adequately cover your needs, when specifying costs for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Employee Groupings &#61664; Define Cost Groupings

    In the parameter group you could differentiate between employees based upon age, salary and seniority. Here you can further differentiate between employees, based on other employee criteria, such as geographical location, employment contract, residence status and so on.

    Dependent Coverage Options:
    In this step, you define the dependent coverage that are used in health plans.
    Define all possible variations that you need, because this view is not specific to any plan or plan option
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Dependent Coverage Options
    Number of Dependents:
    In this step, you can restrict participation in a health plan under a dependent coverage option to certain types of dependent, as determined by the subtypes of the Family/Related Persons infotype (0021). You can also define a minimum and maximum number of persons of a particular type that can be covered. During enrollment, the system only includes those dependent coverage options in the benefit offer for which the appropriate dependents are available
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Minimum and Maximum Number of Dependents
    Define Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of a health plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option
    • Dependent coverage
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often costs vary for all the combinations of option and dependent coverage that you have defined in each plan.
    This indicates how many cost variants you need. You can use the same cost variant more than once, for example, if costs are always identical for the dependent coverages 'employee only' and 'employee plus family' within a plan, regardless of the plan option
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Cost Rule
    Health Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all the definitions relevant to the health plan that you have made in the previous steps.
    You assign to each health plan:
    • Its options
    • Relevant dependent coverages
    • The cost variants for the combination of options and dependent coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Assign Health Plan Attributes
    Insurance Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for insurance plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Insurance Plan General Data
    Coverage Variants:
    In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual coverage in this step. You simply define how coverage varies according to:
    • Plan
    • Coverage option
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.
    This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:
    • If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a
    coverage variant for each.
    • If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a
    range, you need only one coverage variant.
    • If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
    2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664;
    Coverage Rules:
    In this step, you define the actual coverages for a plan.
    You need to define coverage for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    Coverage can be defined as a flat amount or as a factor of salary
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Coverage Rules
    Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of an insurance plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Coverage option
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often cost varies for different coverage options:
    • If an insurance plan has set flat coverage options and flat costs, you need
    to define a cost variant for each flat cost.
    • If you have set flat coverage options and the flat costs are directly
    proportional to the coverage stated in the flat cost, you need only one
    cost variant.
    • If an employee can choose any amount of coverage within a range and the
    cost of the coverage is directly proportional to the coverage, you need
    only one cost variant.
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Cost Rules
    Insurance Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all those parts of an insurance plan, that you have already defined in the previous few steps.
    You define the insurance plan options, then associate to each insurance plan:
    • Cost variant
    • Coverage variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Assign Insurance Plan Attributes
    Combined Coverage Limits:
    When you define coverages for plans such as insurance, you can set limits on the coverage amount. This is often used when the coverage is an amount dynamically calculated when the employee chooses her coverage.
    However these limits apply only to one plan and yet you might need to define limits which combine the coverages of more than one plan.
    In this chapter, you define these combined limits as follows:
    1. The limit that might span 2 or more plans is reduced to a mathematical equation, where there is an amount on one side and plan coverages on the other side. The two sides of this equation are then DIVIDED BETWEEN the two views in this chapter.
    2. The first view defines the limit in monetary terms which is one side of the equation. It also defines the operator (equals, is greater than, and so on).
    3. The second view defines the other side of the equation in terms of the plan coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Combined Coverage
    Combined Coverage Limit Expressions:
    In this step, you enter the second half of the equation, as discussed in combined coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
    Imputed Income for Selected Benefits:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria needed to calculate Imputed Income.
    Imputed Income is based upon benefits paid for by the employer and calculated using rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This value is then treated as taxable income for the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Review Age Groups for Imputed Income
    Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income:
    In this step, you check that the Imputed Income Rate Table entries are correct.
    The imputed income age groups are associated with the rates/factors set by the IRS
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income
    Savings Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for savings plans.
    You have defined the relevant type, status, and provider for each plan in the Basic Settings section of the Benefits IMG
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Savings Plan General Data
    Employee Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employee contribution variants to determine which factors influence the permitted employee contribution to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define how contributions vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employee contribution grouping to determine employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employee Contribution Variants
    Employee Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define the employee contribution limits for each plan.
    You need to define employee contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define minimum and maximum employee contribution in the following ways:
    • As a fixed amount
    • As a percentage of salary
    • As a contribution unit
    In Payroll, the total employee contribution is the sum of these amounts
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employee Contribution Rules
    Employer Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contribution in this step. You only define how contributions vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employer Contribution Variants
    Employer Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define limits for the contributions made by the employer to employee plans. You so this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.
    You need to define employer contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define the employer contribution and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:
    • As a fixed amount / as an amount per unit contributed by the employee
    • As a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employer Contribution Rules
    Assign Savings Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you complete the definition of savings plans by bringing together the relevant elements that you have already defined:
    • EE contribution variant
    • ER contribution variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Assign Savings Plan Attributes
    Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs):
    In this step, you define general data for flexible spending accounts (FSAs).
    Requirements
    You have created the appropriate plan type , plan status, and benefit provider in the preceding steps
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) &#61664; Define Spending Account General Data
    Assign Spending Account Attributes:
    In this step, you enter the details of your flexible spending accounts including contribution limits, an employer contribution variant (if required), and rules for the reimbursement of claims
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) &#61664; Assign Spending Account Attributes
    Flexible Administration:
    In this chapter, you define the flexible aspects of your Benefits administration. You define the availability of plans to your employees, in terms of the plans themselves. You also define aspects of the enrollment process.
    you enter parameters that apply to processing within an entire benefits area, including:
    • Open enrollment period dates
    • Default validity dates for adjustment/standard plan records
    • Advance availability of future plans
    • Dependent age limits
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Define Administrative Parameters
    Benefit Adjustment Groupings:
    In this step, you define adjustment groupings. These groupings allow you to specify different adjustment permissions for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Benefit Adjustment Groupings
    Benefit Adjustment Reasons:
    In this step, you define adjustment reasons to control changes to employee enrollments according to company policy.
    The adjustment reason types that you define here are assigned as subtypes of Adjustment Reasons records (infotype 0378) in HR Master Data. Since a record can only have one subtype, a new record must be created for every adjustment reason an employee experiences.
    According to the adjustment concept, an employee can only make changes to her enrollments if she has an Adjustment Reasons record (infotype 0378) with the required adjustment reason as a subtype. The only exceptions to this are if changes are made during an open enrollment period or if an anytime adjustment reason is assigned to the plan type.
    In addition to defining adjustment reasons for certain events that can trigger changes, you may also want to define a special adjustment reason to allow changes to plans at any time
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Benefit Adjustment Reasons
    Adjustment Permissions:
    In this section, you assign adjustment permissions to each benefit plan type for an adjustment reason and any adjustment grouping that you have defined.
    Note that the elements for which you can define permissions are automatically determined by the system, dependent on the plan category
    Health Plans:
    In this step, you define the changes permitted for all plans of this type. You do this for each combination of adjustment reason, adjustment grouping, and plan type
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Adjustment Permissions &#61664; Health Plans

    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Adjustment Permissions &#61664; Spending Account
    Programs:
    In this section of the IMG, you define benefit programs and the eligibility restrictions and termination conditions for the plans within these programs.
    Within a program, eligibility for plans can be determined on two levels:
    • Program groupings control eligibility on a high level (macro-eligibility) by allocating an employee a defined program, depending on his/her organizational and employment data.
    • Eligibility rules are optional and control eligibility on a low level (micro-eligibility) by determining whether an employee can participate in a plan within the relevant program. An employee must fulfill the conditions defined in the rule in order to be able to enroll. Eligibility rules are assigned to plans in programs by means of an eligibility variant.
    First Program Grouping:
    In this step, you define first program groupings. Later, you define programs for a combination of first and second program groupings.
    Identical attributes are available for the setup of both the first and second program groupings, and they are therefore interchangeable. The fact that you determine macro-eligibility for a program using two dimensions means that you are able to make finer distinctions between groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Define First Program Grouping
    Second Program Grouping:
    In this step, you define second program groupings. Later, you define programs for a combination of first and second program groupings.
    Identical attributes are available for the setup of both the first and second program groupings, and they are therefore interchangeable. The fact that you determine macro-eligibility for a program using two dimensions means that you are able to make finer distinctions between groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Define Second Program Grouping
    Employee Eligibility:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria according to which you control eligibility for individual benefit plans within a benefits program (definition of micro-eligibility). You perform the following steps to set up eligiblity requirements:
    • You define eligibility grouping to identify groups of employees for whom
    certain eligibility criteria apply.
    • You create eligibility variants, which you later use to link eligibility
    rules to programs.
    • If necessary, you define dynamic eligibility conditions relating
    specifically to actual hours worked/length of service, or zip codes.
    • You bring your definitions together in the eligibility rule, where you
    can also specify further conditions for enrollment.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Employee Eligibility &#61664; Define Eligibility Groupings
    Eligibility Variants:
    In this step, you define eligibility variants. These consist simply of an identifier and a description
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Employee Eligibility &#61664; Define Eligibility Variants
    Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define eligibility rules for the benefit plans offered by your organization. You define these rules for combinations of eligibility grouping and eligibility variant, thereby determining the eligibility conditions that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Employee Eligibility &#61664; Define Eligibility Rules

    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Define Benefit Programs
    Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility:
    In this step, you define family member groupings and determine how family members are allocated to these groupings
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Family Member Groupings
    Dependent Eligibility Rule Variants:
    In this step, you define the dependent eligibility variants to which you want to assign dependent eligibility rules. You also specify whether you wish to use a family member grouping in the associated eligibility rule to restrict eligibility to types of family members with certain characteristics
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Dependent Eligibility Rule Variants
    Dependent Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define dependent eligibility rules to determine which types of family member are eligible as dependents. You then assign your rules to the appropriate plans by means of a rule variant in the step Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Dependent Eligibility Rules
    Beneficiary Eligibility Rule Variants:
    In this step, you define the beneficiary eligibility variants to which you assign beneficiary eligibility rules in the next step. You also specify the following:
    • Whether you want to use a family member grouping in the associated eligibility rule to restrict eligibility to types of family members with certain characteristics
    • Whether the following apply for plans to which the variant is assigned:
    &#61607; The employee can be a beneficiary
    &#61607; Contingency beneficiaries can be named
    &#61607; Spouse approval is required if beneficiaries other than the spouse are to be amed (the system only takes this setting into consideration for plans of the category avings)
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Beneficiary Eligibility Rule Variants

    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Beneficiary Eligibility Rules
    Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan:
    In this step, you assign dependent eligibility variants and beneficiary eligibility variants to plans, thereby assigning the eligibility rules associated with these variants
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    COBRA Plans:
    In this step, you specify which health plans that you have already defined in the system are COBRA-relevant.
    When a clerk collects COBRA-qualified beneficiaries, the system only considers employee enrollments in the plans you select here as legitimate cases where COBRA must be offered to the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Choose COBRA Plans
    this step, you determine for which flexible spending accounts (FSAs) you will offer continuation of coverage under COBRA. You need to do this for each benefit area separately
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Choose COBRA Spending Accounts
    Qualifying Event Coverage Periods:
    In this step, you define the events that qualify individuals for COBRA coverage, and the periods of permitted coverage continuation for each qualifying event type. COBRA legislation states the following regarding coverage continuation periods:
    • In the case of Termination of employment and Reduction in working hours, only 18 months coverage must be provided. If qualified beneficiaries are determined to be disabled within 60 days of the COBRA event, they are entitled to a further 11 months of coverage, as are the other qualified beneficiaries who experienced the original event.
    • For all other qualifying events except Bankruptcy of employer, a qualified beneficiary is entitled to 36 months continuation coverage, and there is no extension provision for disability.
    • In the case of the event Bankruptcy of employer, the coverage continuation period is the life of the retired employee or retired employee's widow/widower. You therefore do not need to define a continuation period in this case.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Define Qualifying Event Coverage Periods
    Assign COBRA Events to Personnel Actions:
    In this step, you define how the system recognizes COBRA-qualifying events from employee personnel actions (infotype 0000) records. You do this by creating a link between the two.
    The only COBRA-qualifying event types that you assign to personnel actions are:
    • Termination
    • Death of employee
    • Reduction in hours
    You need to assign these COBRA-qualifying event types since they are based on customizable entries in your HR master data and therefore cannot be delivered as standard.
    When the system collects COBRA-qualified beneficiaries, it considers employee records within the date range you specify in two stages as follows:
    1. The system searches for employee personnel action (infotype 0000) records. The COBRA qualifying events assigned to any personnel actions found are collected.
    2. The system checks other employee infotype records for specific information which corresponds to COBRA-qualifying event types
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Assign COBRA Events to Personnel Actions
    Notification and Payment Intervals:
    In this step, you define details of COBRA administration for those states where state law concerning COBRA differs from federal law.
    Federal regulations are reflected in the state settings for the District of Columbia, which is also the system default.
    If you must comply with state regulations that differ from the federal regulations, you should create a new state entry. Otherwise, you can use the DC version for all employees, regardless of which state they reside in

  • N73 - trouble with search function for the contact...

    Hi, i just bought a N73 series phone. i noticed that N73 search function for the contact list is different from others standard. Normally, it should show the 1st contact of the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the contact contains the letter. I found difficulties to look for the contact unless i press 3 or 4 letters. is there any setting can be changed to order search function only search the contacts with the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the letter in middle of the contact?
    For example:
    ang on
    office
    when i pressed "o", the contact will search for "ang on" instead of "office" unless i press few more letters like "off".
    hope to get some help from you guys.

    I found the same problem as this with all my S60 3rd edition phones, what I have done is in my contacts put a hyphen (-)in between the name - i.e Joe Blogs would come us under searches for J & B, so try putting Joe-Bloggs, this way, the search will only come up with all the J's in your phone book directory.
    Hope this helps, DLJ

  • I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts.

    I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history and now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts. I check the checkbox but no email accounts are present to select.  My iPhone4 has all the contacts & mail account and runs ok.
    Part of the solution to the previous problem was to delete (really I moved it) the contents of the backup folder.  Now I get this message "iTunes was unable to load data class infromation from Sync Services".  I moved the folders and files back and it did not help.

    An alternate email isn't a rescue email, and it isn't possible to add an actual rescue email without correctly answering two of the questions. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

After compiling and linking succesfully under 10.1.0, I get ORA-06521 PL/SQL: Error mapping function and ORA-06522: ERROR - vms_dlsym for file x, where x in the filename of the linked executable. Another external procedure that does not connect to the 10.1.0 database runs fine. What could be causing this error in Server 10.1.0 on VMS?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Here is the code to create the function:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f1
    (h_file_name IN VARCHAR2)
    RETURN BINARY_INTEGER
    IS EXTERNAL
    LIBRARY l1
    NAME "f1"
    LANGUAGE C
    WITH CONTEXT
    PARAMETERS
    (CONTEST,
    h_file_name string);
    Here is the beginning of the Pro*C:
    int f1(epctx, h_file_name)
    OCIExtProcContext *epctx;
    char h_file_name[70];
    char h_line_txt [251];
    int lineno;
    FILE *fptr;
    /* register the connection context ... */
    EXEC SQL REGISTER CONNECT USING :epctx;
    The function loads a flat file into the database. It is probably not related but are unable to SQLPLUS/ or SQLLDR/ into the database from an OS autheniticated account (get ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact.) Thanks for taking the time to look at this. There aren't many people trying this on VMS, I'd bet.

  • ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function while writting into a text file

    Hi,
    I'm getting an errror ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function while trying to write data into a text file.
    I'm using the following code:
    --To create a new directory
    create or replace directory temp as 'C:/temp';
    declare
                    l_str varchar2(1000);
                    output_file utl_file.file_type;
                    cursor test_write_cur is
                         select EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,SAL,HIREDATE
                           from EMP
                         where DEPTNO=30;
    begin
               output_file := utl_file.fopen('TEMP','TESTFILE.txt','w');
               for test_write_rec IN test_write_cur
               loop          
                l_str :=     test_write_rec.EMPNO||'^'||test_write_rec.ENAME||'^'||test_write_rec.JOB||'^'||
                         test_write_rec.HIREDATE||'^'||test_write_rec.SAL||chr(10);
                utl_file.put_line(output_file,l_str);
                     end loop;                                                                           
               utl_file.fclose(output_file);
    end;Please suggest me if i'm wrong.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Sanket,
    I think you are need use TO_CHAR() function
      to_char(test_write_rec.EMPNO) ,
      to_char(test_write_rec.HIREDATE,'DD.MM.YYYY')
      to_char(test_write_rec.SAL)
