Time Constraint for Boundary Events

Hi experts.
I am pretty new to BPM (NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.1 SP04 BPM SP05) and I am just making a test process to try to get the time constraint concept right. So far I have three tasks in my process, very much like a textbook example. In my first task I have an input field in which you're supposed to type in your name, which is then saved to the context and triggers the second task when completed. That second task is nothing but a screen displaying "You successfully generated a second task, (with the name you entered in the first task here)."
That works fine so far. Then there's the third task, which is linked to a boundary event on the second event with a start deadline which is critical exception. Here's the idea... You complete the first task (name input), then you fail to start the second task within a certain amount of time defined by an expression, so the process should go to the third task because of the deadline. By the way, it works fine when using a default time, so I must be doing something right so far, the problem is when trying to dynamically change the time with the expression.
What I tried was to define a context attribute type time and date (I tried both) and assigning a time (current time plus whatever amount of minutes) to that attribute via Java coding at the time you click on the button which completes the task, then use that context element in the expression, but that didn't work. I also tried to make that context attribute an integer and set it to whatever amount of minutes I want to use for the deadline, then in the expression get the current time and add that afore mentioned integer to its minutes. That didn't work either.
Please help, I have seriously done some research, and no success yet.

Time Constraints and Boundary Events in BPM

Hi all,
I have done the following:
In the Task window, Time Constraints tab
- Checked "Define a default completion deadline" with the offset as 3 minutes.
- Checked the "Raise critical exception when deadline is reached" checkbox.
In the boundary events for the activity, I have added "CompletionDeadlineIsCriticalException".
From the boundary event, I have linked to to another activity that belongs to another user (User B).
When i am testing the BPM, the task goes into a Suspended status after 3 minutes. However User B did not received a new item in the UWL.
In the NWA, "Manage Process: Process Instances", i can see that Task is escalated by null and the status is suspended.
Does anyone has any advice over here?
Thank you.

Hi,
i have checked the BPEM-CORE version as instructed.
It says 1000.7.11.2.0.20090321233900
Does that means I need to update to the latest patch?
Please also check the version of your NWDI build plug-in BPEM-BUILDT in the respective NWDI track. This is used to build Process Composer DCs in your NWDI.
I am in the Development Infrastructure Perspective in NWDS
How do i check the version number for BPEM-BUILDT in the NWDI?
Thank you.

Time Constraints for objects and relationships

Hi,
How to set up time constraints for objects and relationships under Org Management?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you need time constraint for subtype A002 then you have to define it over here.
Usually for all standard objects this table gets populated by SAP. But in case you want something which is not there in this table and is as per the client requirement, you can create.

Default time frame for ICAL events

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the default time frame for ICal events has been set to "entire day". Is there any way to change this?

Hi,
If you add a time to the event description, like "meeting 11am tomorrow", it should create an event (with the title "meeting" on tomorrows date at 11am with a duration of 1 hour.

Different time constraint for 0081-military service infotype and subty

Hello
I need as follows:
To enable entry for each desired valid Subty.
To enable ONLY ONE entry for each Subty.
Time constraint T is not allowed for 0081 so I used
Time constraint Z and I'm trying to maintain T591A.
But I don't find the expected entry which offer me to
define time constraint for each Subty.
Instead, I have only the field "ObjId".
(Are there other IT which behave the same ?)

No Time constraint for S 1001

Dear Team,
When I am trying to create a relationship to Position (S) or (C) Job, receiving a message as "There is no time constraint for S 1001". Unable to locate the exact error location in the customization.
Could anyone know how to solve this. Not maintained any new objects or relationships.
Thanks and Regards
Team Member.

Hi,
Should have been standard for Position (S) and Job (C), but check table V_T777ZIT for IT1001 that the time constraint entry exists for the exact relationship you are trying to create. If it does not exist, you will have to create the time constraint for that object and relationship.
IMG: Personnel Management --> Organizational Management --> Basic Settings --> Data Model Enhancement --> Maintain Infotypes. Select IT1001 and click on the folder on the left for Time Constraint. Only one relationship at a time (Position described by one Job) - time constraint = 2. More than one relationship at a time (Job describes many Positions) - time constraint = 3.

Change Time Constraint for Personal Data InfoType

Hi,
How to change the Time Constraint for Personal Data InfoType.
I tried to do it in Customisation Procedure --> Infotypes, but the option to change Time Constraint is disabled for Infotype 0002.
Thanks

Hi,
you can change time constraints in general attributes of infotype attributes,this can be done through table maintenace view V_T582A.
But note that we cannot change the time contraints for mandatory infotyepe of personnel in an organization i.e -0000,0001,0002.
ex:- without personal details like names no personnel will exist in an organization.

Time Constraint for Subtype

Dear All,
I have created Customer Infotype 9909 having Five Subtype. Now I have to give Time Constraint to each separate subtype. please guide for the same.
Regards
Mangesh

Dear All,
My created Infotype 9909 having Five Subtype like 1,2,3,4,5 and I have give Time Constraint i.e. 1,2,3 to each separate Subtype. Like same example you will find for Infotype 0006 of Address. For Infotype 0006 the Time Constraint is "T" but there is separate Time Constraint for each subtype of 0006. You will find it in Table T591A. I am sending the following values of Infotype 0006 with its Subtypes having Filed "ZEITB" which shows different Time Constraint for its Subtypes. So like that I want to maintain separate Time Constraint for each Subtype of created Infotype 9909.
MANDT     INFTY     SUBTY     ZEITB     OBJRQ     STEXT
800     6     1     1          Permanent residence
800     6     2     3          Temporary residence
800     6     3     2          Home address
800     6     4     2          Emergency address
800     6     5     2          Mailing address
800     6     6     2          Nursing address
So please let me know the solution.

Time constraints for infotype 0185

Hi experts,
Need your suggestions,
Is it possible to change the Time constraints for infotype 0185. What will be the impact if i change from 2 to 3 time constraints. Please explain...
Shiv.

hi,
what i meant was standard time constraints should not be changed unless there is no other option.
changing the time constraint is a quick fix solution.
these standard time constraints are set after a lot of thought.
like he referred 185 which is personnel ids.
here you can see that it has sub types each sub type can have one record.
you cannt have two passports .
you cannot have two pan numbers etc.
lets us sasy the end user enters some data wrongly and then he realises and creates another record for the same with out deleting the old one.
the system will take it.
but as you can see the data is already duplicated and it gives errors if some work flow or some other functionality is written basing on that input.

Time constraints for IT0377

Hello All,
For the Benefits IT, 0377, we are using a benefit area 08 and subtype 0001.
For this Benefit Area and Subtype, we have configured several Benefit Plans such as BUPA, CYCL, TRVL etc.
We want to set the time constraint such that for an employee, multiple benefit plans for the same period can exist (Time Constraint 3), but at the same time, there should be no overlapping record for the same benefit plan.
for Ex, a BUPA can exist from 01.01.2007 - 01.01.2008 and
a CYCL could exist from 01.01.2007 - 01.01.2008 <i><b>but</b></i>
another BUPA with 15.01.2007 - 15.09.2007 should not be allowed. In this case the earlier BUPA should be delimited.
If I use time constraint 1 or 2 I cannot create multiple benefit plans, as all previous records with the same time range are deleted.
How can I configure the Infotype such that the above requirement can be fulfilled?
Thank You,
Vaishali

Hi..
I don't think it can be done, as this as time constraint depends on the startdate and enddate, and it has no connection with the Benifit Plan .

Time Constraint for Position A012 Relationship

Our organization's structure is such that one position may manage more than one organizational unit. The time contstraint for A012 relationship for positions is currently set to 2, which appears to be restricting me from establishing a position as chief for more than one subordinate org units. In our test environment I changed the constraint to 3 and now am able to have a position as chief of multiple org units. Have I created any potential problems (i.e. with workflow) by changing the A012 time contraint?
Thanks for any advice,
- Lora

Not that I am aware of. In the situation of having the time constraint is the when certain program uses evaluation path, it doesn't know which one of the path to pick since there are more than one path presented.
In the case of workflow, usually it will go to all of them. The first one that open the task owns the task.
But in the case of A012, it should be okay. There are situation where the chief relationship will be towards more than one organizational unit. Where his position belongs to is a different story. As where his position belongs to for the org unit defines who is his/her reviewer for performance and compensation. But he could have as many A012/B012 to manages all those org units as he wishes.

How do you change the time zone for all events?

I didn't have the correct setting checked for my time zone. It appears that I now have to go back and correct each event. Is that true? It would be impossible since I have over 1,000 events in my calendar.
Any suggestions? Thanks - Kris

Go to SETTINGS on your iPod Nano 6G.
From SETTINGS -> GENERAL -> DATE & TIME -> TIME ZONE and select the right zone/location form there.

Different times showing for an event

I received in invite from someone who is one hour behind me. He sent me a test invite ("Fake 2") for 10am my time, which is 9am his time.
In the Calender, the time is shown correctly, but when I click on it, it shows his time zone. Why is that? Why won't it show the time of the meeting in my time zone? Note that on my iPad, I see 10am in both cases.
This looks like this has something to do with the "Turn on time zone support" preference. However, I'd like to be able to use that function to change times if I want to set my Calendar to different time zones I'm visiting but see the actual time of the event in my time zone when I click it. If not, it can be a bit confusing to see two sets of times.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Tony

Dispatching event from any component by either by using this or simply without this
can not be listen by each and every componet of the application,depends upon where you have write addListner. Check Event life cycle
in the flex. While if you are using the system manager for dispatching the event and
also for listenting the event so in that case you will always listen the event.
You can visit this link for making it simple to use and understand.By this way you can always listen your event
inside any component in your application.
