Talent Profile WD configuration / customizing

Hi,
We're currently implementing Talent Profile for the employee. Therefore the IMG refers to SA38 to execute a program to configure the Web Dynpro views.
I'm a little bit lost in what exactly to configure / how it's structured within FPM.
The requirement is to:
- Group tabs of the employee into new parent tabs
- Add new fields on the existing tabs (like add new fields on the internal experiences)
- Add new tabs (with content available in the backend)
1) What would you advise in order to stay future proof (upgrades)?
2) How should I exactly understand the FPM structure? Applications - Components - Customizing of components - ...
3) When the customizing is done, how to link this in the portal Iview in order to show the new configured Iview
Thanks a lot for your input, if you have additional warnings or things to keep in mind, would be very interesting.
D.

Hi D,
--> Do I need to copy the MSS/TMS iView and as such have 1 for MSS and one for TMS?
No need to copy it - it uses the same program and configuration for TMS that you create for MSS.
--> Is this just creating a link from CP to BP and that's it or should we be aware of other implications (maybe even in other modules?)?
There are no other implications that I am aware of. It just creates a BP object for each CP object and links them with relationship 207 (or 209, I forget off the top of my head). You can use report HRALXSYNC to to create the objects in SAP after you've activated BP integration. Also, there is a variant from SAP that allows you to schedule the report so you can sync the data regularly. The report also allows you to repair missing CP > BP data.
Best regards,
Luke

Error while configuring talent profile for ESS

Dear Experts
I am having following error while configuring talent profile for ESS:
The URL http://pplkhidr05.ppl.com.pk:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrtmc_employee_profile was not called due to an error.

Custom org view for talent profile application

Hi,
I have a role for talent management specialist role where I want to show custom org view, can you please let me know how to achieve this?
Thanks & Regards
Sahil Kohli

Hi Luke,
My requirement is to create a talent management specialist role , who can manage the qualifications of the employees and this role is not given to the regular managers.
Either I can replicate the MSS home page and include talent profile in the employee menu , wherein I need to have it for the Z org views.
Or Second option is to use the competency matchup view , but the problem is, the view is showing blank data and I need to show this also for the customOrg views (Like all employees, substituted employees etc).
Please suggest if there a way to specify the custom org views created in OADP for the home page view and competency matchup view, so that the specialist gets the option to maintain qualification for the selected group of employees only or anything standard is available for this requirement.
We are on MSS add on 1.0 and BP for MSS add on on portal.

Mobility prefrence in talent profile

Hi All
We have a tab Mobility in Talent Profile accessed by ESS. Under that tab , we can define country groups.country, state , region etc.
I have configured India as a country group and subsequently the state and region are getting displayed on portal.
Through standard config , "All Countries " is also getting displayed under the country group section.
Can we remove the All countries tab through config changes and How ?
Please find below the screenshot for the same.
Thanks

Hi Smriti,
These are standard values, but you can add your own values in customizing in Talent Management and Talent Development > Basic Settings > Country Groups and Areas of Country.
Countries are only defined if Areas of Country are to be specified. SAP will always display all countries defined in SAP by default. The Regions to Areas of Countries are selected based on values maintained in T005S (text values in T005U), maintained through Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Person Data > Addresses > Country/Regions (GB).
Best regards,

Talent Profile "More" Links

Has anyone had experience of configuring the "More" link on a talent profile page?
I can configure "More" links to go to detailed functions when the Talent Profile region is a seeded one. But, when I create a custom region, such as an EIT or custom, I cannot see how to achieve this.
The method to use is to configure a subfunction called HR_TP_MGR_MORE_LINK and map the region name to the destination function.
e.g. pTPMCMPETNCY=HR_COMPETENCE_PROFILE_SS - in this example TPMCMPETNCY is the region name and HR_COMPETENCE_PROFILE_SS is the destination function.
But, how do you find out the region name for a user defined region??
Any ideas anyone?
Regards
Tim

Hi Luke,
We have managed to get the Potential values. The issue was the analysis period parameter was specified incorrectly in 'Define Group of Analysis Periods to Be Used'
We are still having a problem with Competency and Performance. Competency show us no values. Perfromance brings the dates through but does not show the value and the slider. We are going to debug today to see what the issue might be.
Luke just wanted to find out, can a Quantity scale be used on the Calibration grid for performance. We are using a quantity scale for performance. However when configuring the calibration grid using the combination of the potential value and perfromnace value, i get an error 'No Values Found' when i click on the serch help to choos the perfromance value. If i try to enter the value manually i get the error, Entry does not exist in T77SP.

How to change employee information in the MSS Talent Profile application

we are using the MSS iview talent profile. On the overview page of this iview, on the left side, there is employee informattion displayed (org assignment, successor for... ). we have a requirement to modify the way the position is calculated.
how can we do that? is there a badi that allows for modification of the org assignment fields?
Thanks,

hi tiberiu, there is a way yes...
Step1: create you custom field
in spro navigate to talent management -> basic settigns -> adjusting the user interface -> configurations for data retreival -> extend field selection - > add fields to selection field catagory ->
here you will see SAP_POSITION - the last column reports to the badi. The badis for each field are also in the same spro sub-menu.
create a zsap_position column by copying the standard one. You than replace the "Position" badi with your own BADI.
step2: add the field to the view:
in spro navigate to talent management -> basic settigns -> adjusting the user interface -> configurations for data retreival -> create configuration with field groups.
here copy a view and make a Z view. in your z view you can remove the SAP_POSITION column and add your Z column.
than in same spro sub-menu, experiment with your new view by telling it where in the various user interfaces it should be used. Place the name of your view as the parameter value in
assign configuration to user interface
solution solved!

     propagated by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the

    The reason for the exception is:
    You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
    access a component.
    An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
    before it can be used to access components.
    Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
    CLEAR statement.
Please can someone indicate a solution to fix this issue.

Hello Raj,
We had faced the same issue. We had raised an OSS message for the same with SAP, and an SAP note was mentioned to fix this.. I am not having access to that note now and dont remeber the note number. Please contact SAP. Meanwhile, please check with BASIS team and check whether all the Webdynpro services are activated in SICF transaction code. I am sure, some of the services have not been activated and this is causing the problem.
Please make sure all webdynpro based services are activated. Meanwhile, also try to access the application via SE80. This should give you an idea if the issue is from SAP Backend or EP.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Best Regards.
Karan.

Transaction Codes: Talent Profile, Talent Assessment, Talent Review Meeting

Hi experts,
When a user accesses the Talent profile, Talent Assessment and Talent Review Meeting on the Portal does SAP call specific transactions on the backend.
I would like to find out what are the transaction codes being called(if any) to restrict access to the Talent Profile, Talent Assessment, and Talent Review meeting. I have checked the SAP standard roles for Talent Management to
get an idea however, P_TCODE= All Transactions.
Thanks

Hi Francesco -
So Luke is more a technical guy than me, and he already gave some great input. Here are my thoughts.
I think an initial assessment would be that this is a challenging effort. There are number of BAPIs that could be potentially be used utilized. However, much of the entire Talent Management space recently developed by SAP was written with ABAP Objects using class / methods. Exposing these as web services to be used by XI or wrapping the functionality of the class / methods into a custom RFC would require some effort.
The link below shows some pro's and con's on ABAP objects.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/60/8c94422533c46ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
This paragraph really touches on what you would need to do:
Classic access through RFC is only possible using function modules. You can generate server-side proxies for ABAP classes using XI and thus provide existing functions as external services in classes. However, function modules are still a better choice in comparison in order to make the functions accessible as a Web service or using RFC.
So to really know the scope of what you are trying to do, we would need some more specifics. Are you just wanting to retreive some SAP data and display it on variouis .net screens. Are you actually trying to execute a process, like succession planning, in a .net application?
Hope this helps.
Thanks Mike

Portal Workprotect in Talent Profile - WebDynpro ABAP FPM application

We are trying to implement Workprotect in ESS - Talent Profile application (HRTMC_EMPLOYEE_PROFILE). The requirement is that when user had entered data in either Internal work experience, External Work experience or other tabs; before he has saved the data, if the user clicks on some other link in portal or try to close the window, Portal work protect that is enabled should prompt the user to save the data or risk losing data.
What has been done so far:
1. Enabled Workprotect on Portal:
Step 1: In the portal, go to System Administration -> System
Configuration -> Service Configuration.
Step 2: In the portal catalog, Select
application "com.sap.portal.epcf.loader" and open the properties for
service "epcfloader" for editing
Step 3: Set property workprotect.mode.default = 3
Step 4: Save -> Restart service
Now, Portal Work protect is enabled.
2. On the Talent application end, I have seen many posts in forum & FPM related workprotect documentation. But, it is not clear as to how this actually works when it comes to FPM application.
The documents says FPM allows application to make use of work protect
mode offered by Portal. To achieve this, the application must u2018tellu2019 the
FPM whether it contains unsaved
(u201Cdirtyu201D) data. For this, the FPM provides the Web Dynpro Interface
IF_FPM_WORK_PROTECTION. In the is dirty method, you have to put
METHOD is_dirty.
if * component contains unsaved data
ev_dirty = abap_true.
else.
ev_dirty = abap_false.
endif.
ENDMETHOD.
Questions:
1. If you see the shared application component HRTMC_TP_SHARED_DATA, it implements interface IF_FPM_WORK_PROTECTION. But, the isdirty method in the component controller has already existing code
METHOD is_dirty.
ev_dirty = wd_this->mv_is_dirty.
ENDMETHOD.
Where should we put the code given below as described in FPM documentation. In shared component or in individual components like HRTMC_TP_WORKEXP_INTERNAL, HRTMC_WORKEXP_INTERNAL, HRTMC_TP_EDUCATION
etc.
METHOD is_dirty.
if * component contains unsaved data
ev_dirty = abap_true.
else.
ev_dirty = abap_false.
endif.
ENDMETHOD.
And, the line "* component contains unsaved data" as described in document- how do we code this for talent profile considering that there are multiple components, shared component etc? My requirement is that if user has entered some data in any of the tabs like internal work experience, external work experience, then work protect should work if
user tries to navigate away or close browser.
2. If you see general documentation for Work protect and webdynpro (not for FPM), it says that the application must define a special status (dirty flag), which tells the portal when there is unsaved data. You can set and cancel this status (TRUE, FALSE) using method
SET_APPLICATION_DIRTY_FLAG in interface IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION.
And it goes on to say that one must set application flag dirty
SET_APPLICATION_DIRTY_FLAG
exporting
DIRTY_FLAG = TRUE | FALSE
and also set work protect mode
call method L_PORTAL_MANAGER->SET_WORK_PROTECT_MODE
exporting
MODE = NONE | APPLICATION_ONLY | BOTH
3. Which is the correct way to enable Work protect in case of Talent profile applications? Which method of which component should should we add code to? Which of the above ways should we follow ( Interface IF_FPM_WORK_PROTECTION or IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION) ? Which component and which method should we Set Work protect and Set isdirty
Please advise.

Hi Experts,
Can you please provide some useful info in implementing work protect in Standard FPM WebDynpro ABAP applications? In this case, as mentioned above, the application is ESS Talent Profile application (HRTMC_EMPLOYEE_PROFILE).
Thanks,
Sandeep

MSS iview talent profile internals

hello experts,
in the MSS iView talent profile (See help link below)
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/9e/71dad0aba74a62a07bdee6edf8d91f/content.htm
information is presented in two visual areas (left and right):
1. the left side shows information for talent data, org assignment, successor etc
2. the right side is an FPM component with tabs for Overview, Resume, Talent Assessment, Mobility, Career Goal, Development Planths
where is the ABAP code that populates the left side of the iView (talent data, org assignment, successor for).
note: I found component configuration HRTMC_LP_OIF for component FPM_OIF_COMPONENT, which populates the FPM tabs, but what is the source code (abap component) reponsible for populating the left side of the iview (to the left of FPM)?
T.

Hi,
You mean write an Enhancement in the Web Dynpro ABAP application (which is not trivial - to me at least - since it relies on FPM) ?
Another idea I got is to set an handler on the ICF service for Web Dynpro ABAP application HRTMC_EMPLOYEE_PROFILE so that the ABAP Proxy is called first and a call to the super Handler (Web Dynpro) is done after.

Single Sign On is not working when deploying a Wi-Fi profile from Configuration Manager 2012 R2

Hello,
Trying to deploy a wireless profile to a user collection everything works except for the single sign on.
The user will get the wireless profile and be able to connect successfully but when the user signs on again to the same device the Wi-Fi will not connect before the logon process starts.
So GPO processing and home drive mappings are not occurring. The Wi-Fi profile is configured for "Single Sign On - Perform immediately before user logon"
These same settings can be managed successfully by GPO. It would be really nice to be able to use ConfigMgr though!
Thank you.

I have created a talentprofile for an employee in the ESS. The profile is filled. All the customizing activieties have been completed. Also business partners are created.
Does anyone have an idea why the talentprofile in the MSS does not work. Maybe I have forgotten something!

Launch standard talent profile page of employee from zWDA application

we have created a custom webdynpro application, which displays list of employees ( employees can be searched ).
the employees are displayed in alv, and we provided a coulumn to view profile.
when we click on the view profile, the standard talent profile screen of that employee needs to be launched in popup.
for talent profile, in mss, there is already a standard fpm/wda application. http://eccserver:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrtmc_long_profile
but when we launch it says:
The application cannot be started because the person ID is missing
this error makes sense because we need to pass the pernr to this application, so that it can display talent profile of that employee only.
how to pass pernr to this application.
also, when i searched for the application params of this application, it has parameter mem_id.
is there any way / any other application to launch talent profile application for selected pernr in a webdynpro application.
thanks in advance,
Madhu_1980.

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3611870 all these are based on OBN, You can debug the standard application and see how the pernr_mem_id is sent. for example METHOD GET_PERNR_FROM_MEMORY CL_HRESS_EMPLOYEE_SERVICES====CP HRESS_C_PERSINFO_CONFIG COMPONENTCONTROLLER WDDOEXIT cl_hress_employee_services=>clear_memory( iv_mem_id = lv_mem_id ).
