Team calibration in flexible PMS EHP4

Hi PMS Gurus, Need your expert advise. We are implementing flexible PMS on EHP4 . Team calibration is a standard feature of Predefined PMS (EHP4 onwards). Due to heavy customization we are not implementing Predefined PMS but going for Flexible PMS. Our client has specifically asked for Team calibration feature. Now can we import Team calibration feature from Predefined PMS for flexible solution. Or is there any other workaround for building this feature. Or do we have to custom develop Team Calibration feature. Regards Tarun

Hi Tarun,
Did you manage to find answer to your above question??
All these years, we have been going with custom development for this forced distribution bell curve functionality. and now when SAP comes up with the Team calibration functionality, it limits to only Predefined templates. Wonder why SAP releases such nice functionalities in bits and pieces..
Let me know how you went ahead with developing this functionality; whether you developed an entirely custom application or were you able to reuse the existing Team calibration webdynpro?

Part appraiser in flexible PMS

Dear All,
Need your expert advise on flexible PMS process. We are implementing flexible PMS in EHP4 for a client. There is a requirement to send appraisal document to part appraiser after self review is done. We have defined status sub status as per this requirement. However part appraisal process is starting before self appraisal process in system. How to change and send part apparaisal docuemnt first to appraisee and then to part appraiser.

Dear Sivani
Before the start of review phase, after mangager submits ratings & comments if he wants to add a new Part appraiser (Reviewer) - configure a new button which on selection the workflow goes to the HR / Appraisal administrator.
HR / Appraisal administrator should read the comments of Appraiser to add an additional Part appraiser (reviewer) * they should do the same in the backend using PHAP_ADMIN transaction. They can manually add them in edit mode of the particular appraisal document. Later, on submission by them the appraisal dicument should proceed to the review Phase.
This method is an workaround as their is no add option to appear in the appraisal document either by means of a BADI or by any development.
Note:- If you are using part appraisals then in 'In Proces' (final) phase - the first substatus or review should be done by Part Appraisers. Then onlt the status flow & Radio buttons will behave / appear correctly.

Is it possible to configure Team calibration for Objective Setting Appraisals in EHP7

Hi Friends,
We are on EHP7. We have implemented objective setting appraisal for our client.
We have created an appraisal template under category group "Personnel appraisals". We have configured the VA, VB, VC, Column ids. Status tab flow is used from In preparation - Completed.
The enhancements are used to accommodate customer specific calculations for the scores based on the final ratings.
An additional requirement from the client is; once the appraisal process is over for a team; the team manager should be able to see the scores of his direct reportees in the MSS.
1) He should be given a provision to modify the final rating score; incase if he finds that one of the team members deserve a better score in line with the comparison of other team members. He should be able to call the template and be able to revise the final ratings from his MSS directly.
2) When he modifies the final ratings by calling the appraisal template on the MSS; that new score should be stored in the appraisal template (database tables); that is; this should overwrite the final scores which was initially calculated during the final appraisal discussion between the apprasier and appraisee. This new values should be taken for all reporting or new compensation revision process.
Should this requirement be addressed by Assessment of Employees and Calibration Process for Employee Assessments standard configurations?
If that is the option; I have already done these settings for flexible performance appraisal.
But in the MSS > under Talent Management > Assessment
We are getting a blank screen in the "In process & Completed " tabs. No employee is listed.
The calibration grid is empty. But under under talent profile; we are able to see the names of the team members.
Is there any other method available for this purpose ?
Request your comments on options to deliver this functionality.
Thanks.
ER.

Hi Srujan,
For every paying company code you can have multiple sending company codes.
You can make this configuration in FBZP > Paying company codes tab.
Once in 'Paying company codes', here click on 'Company codes' button on top right.
This means you will need all the FBZP setup for your paying company code only.
Also, please refer to below link to configure cross company settings

Are CC for Teams license seats flexible?

We have 4 users in the office but at no time are all of them using adobe products at the same time. Are the seats for CC for Teams flexible allowing 4 users to share fewer seats or would an administrator have to constantly reassign seats?

RJAplanres the seats are designed for each individual which will be utilizing the software. Not only does Creative Cloud for Teams include Adobe applications but there are also User specific services including syncronization of the application preferences.

Predefined appraisal process and flexible appraisal process

Hello
I read the new presentation about the New in Performance Management (SAP enhancement package 4
For SAP ERP 6.0) I don't understand the connection between predefined appraisal process and flexible appraisal process.
Can I use these 2 processes together?
Is the new "Predefined Performance Management Process: Calibration" work with flexible appraisal process or this is 2 different system and process?
For example This process of predefined appraisal compare "final appraisal" of workers. Where this "final appraisal" is stored . In which question of the appraisal form ?
In the presentation Sap wrote "Team calibration based on overall appraisal". What is "overall appraisal" in terms of appraisal form ?

Hi,
so to answer your questions:
Can I use these 2 processes together?
No these are 2 different functionalities. The reason they were delivered at the same time is because they are using the same technology (web dynpro)
Thus the 'calibration' which is designed for Predefined does not exist for Flexibe.
So with EHP4 SAp delivered the new Predefined functionality
and the Flexible which is basically the same functionality as before but using web dynpro instead of BSP page.
Regarding "Team calibration based on overall appraisal". This functionality allows manager to compare the individual appraisal documents of the employees that reports to him.
You can find some more information on these fucntionalities in SAP help link below

LSO EHP4 functionality - Appraisals

Hi,
We are in the processing of upgrading to LSO EHP4. I have gone through what is on offer in this Enhancement Pack and stumbled across this one:
Appraisals, Evaluations and Surveys: "An additional user interface has been provided to enable the creation and maintenance of appraisals, evaluations, and surveys based on Web Dynpro ABAP."
We are very interested in this but we're wanting more information on exactly what this does and how it differs from what we currently have. Does it just look different or is there more functionality?
Thank you.
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
There is no new interface for Level 1 Evaluations. The new interface referred to is a fixed performance appraisal that supports new functionality such as cascading goals and team calibration. You must leverage the SAP form - there is no inherent flexibility, such as there is with the traditional appraisals as the process is predefined.
See this link for more information:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f9/e9a24d36004d959ea6642c3bda21d1/content.htm
You will note a reference to LSO integration. This has to do with the ability to include learning elements (course types) in an appraisal as a part of the performance appraisal. Basically the free enhancement BAdI has been extended for you. These learning elements appear in the Learner's Messages and Notes as Mandatory Training. They may be leveraged with the existing appraisals (rather than the predefined) and the newer development plan functionality as well.
Best regards,
Sharon

NIC teaming and Hyper-V switch recommendations in a cluster

HI,
We’ve recently purchased four HP Gen 8 servers with a total of ten NICS to be used in a Hyper-V 2012 R2 Cluster
These will be connecting to ISCSI storage so I’ll use two of the NICs for the ISCSI storage connection.
I’m then deciding between to options.
1. Create one NIC team, one Extensible switch and create VNics for Management, Live Migration and CSV\Cluster - QOS to manage all this traffic. Then connect my VMs to the same switch.
2. Create two NIC teams, four adapters in each. Use one team just for Management, Live Migration and CSV\Cluster VNics - QOS to manage all this traffic.
Then the other team will be dedicated just for my VMs.
Is there any benefit to isolating the VMs on their own switch?
Would having two teams allow more flexibility with the teaming
configurations I could use, such as using Switch Independent\Hyper-V Port mode for the VM team? (I do need to read up on the teaming modes a little more)
Thanks,

I’m not teaming the ISCSI adapters. These would be configured with MPIO.
What I want to know,
Create one NIC team, one Extensible switch and create VNics for Management, Live Migration and CSV\Cluster - QOS to manage all this traffic. Then connect
my VMs to the same switch.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/cedward/archive/2014/02/22/hyper-v-2012-r2-network-architectures-series-part-3-of-7-converged-networks-managed-by-scvmm-and-powershell.aspx
What are the disadvantages to having this configuration?
Should RSS be disabled on the NICs in this configuration with DVMQ left enabled?
After reading through this post, I think I’ll need to do this.
However, I’d like to understand this a little more.
I have the option of adding an additional two 10GB NICS.
This would mean I could create another team and Hyper-V switch on top and then dedicate this to my VMs leaving the other team for CSV\Management and Live Migration.
How does this option affect the use of RSS and DVMQ?

Appraisal template error - A maximum of 18 columns are allowed

Dear Friends We are implementing flexible PMS solution on EHP4 platform. We have defined many customer specific columns. Now, we want to add more than 18 columns in our appraisal template but system is showing error if we try to include more than 18 columns. We have already tried to rationalise element (VB-VC) structure to reduce no of columns but still we need to have more than 18 columns in our template. Does SAP provides any BADI or NOTE to resolve this issue. Or whether we can tackle this issue at a technical solution level. Pl. advise.
Warm Regards

Hi
You can customize this in the CATS IMG data entry profiles - it could be the data entry profile
includes more than 65 columns
Unfortunately due to performance reasons 40 is the maxium number of columns allowed
- a modification would likely be required to allow more - you would also need to test performance and
load (whether the WD application could pass all the columns or values)
Best regards
Stuart

ESS EHP5: Appraisal document not working

Hi,
I am implementing performance appraisal (EHP5 and BP ESS 1.50) and am sorting out the very confusing scenario of EHP4 and EHP5 versions of appraisal documents. I am using the pmp version EHP5 and BP ESS 1.50 (BP ESS 1.41 not installed). I did basic setting in Object Setting and Apprsaisals (repla = X) and created a category and a basic template (Do I need to do this if I use the predefined version?).
But when I run the iViews, I got a system dump from the pmp version ...
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible
Error Code: ICF-IE-http .....RABAX_STATE -e: OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
I checked sap note 1319829 but our basis guy said we are ok with sap basis level (level 7)
... and this error from the flexible version:
The Web Dynpro application was called up with the wrong URL parameters
I checked some related notes about OBN configuration but they are only for EHP4. I've very little about EHP5. And from what i found, the EHP5 PMP version already takes care of OBN configuration in the iviews and launchpads.
BF and extension sets are all on as far as I can see.
My questions are: is BP ESS 1.4 needed to run appraisal for EHP5? Is Object setting configuration needed for EHP5 (predefined) which is abap based, since whe I tried the template (web layout), it shows BSP sicf bsp services not activated.
Thanks

Dear Team,
We are running ECC6 EHP4 on vmware.
OS RHEL 5.4
DB MAXDB 7.7.04 build 28
We are facing one issue related to RAM High utilization in ECC 6 EPH4 system.
earlier we had 8GB RAM after this issue upgraded to 16 GB.But the issue still persist.
Our system works fines.After 30-45 mins RAM usage goes at peak.Due to which we face performance issue and due to which we are not even able to login in the SAP system.
As checked from sm37,sm66 no sap process is running than also its RAM usage is going at high.
We are not able to see any process in top at OS level that is consuming to much RAM.
Please advice .

EHP4 flexible appraisal - How to use one coloum mutiple times

Dear PMS gurus,
I have a requirement as follows
Is there a possibility to use a column many times in a criterion group or criteria. Like,
There are five objectives created in a criterion group and all the fine objectives have to evaluated as
1. Target to be achieved
2. Actual target achieved
For every target we need to have these columns. Is there a possibility we can do that in the standard.
Also is there a possibility we can have the coloums in horizontal manner instead of the current vertical way the standard gives
Thanks
Balaji

Hi Balaji
Yes in a flexible appraisal template you can use a column more than once in a criterion group or criterion.
With regards to layout of Columns , no you cannot have it vertical instead of horizontal (unless you enhance the webdynpro) . If you wish to have it vertical , you can change the layout in the offline download of form which means the users will always have to work in the offline download mode and upload the appraisal doc. Also you need to check if the ADOBE user licenses allows you to change the offline ADOBE form as it needs ADOBE designer .
Hope this helps
Regards
