Time constraints and Dialog module

1.What is the difference between the time constraints A(IT exists just once from 01 Jan 1800 to 12 Dec 9999) and B(IT exists for maximum of once from 01 Jan 1800 to 12 Dec 9999)?
2.What is the necessity of dialog module for a Infotype?

Time Constraint A and B
Infotypes with time constraint A & B must have no more than one record. The system automatically assigns the record a validity period from January 01, 1800 through December 31, 9999. This validity period cannot be subdivided.
Infotype records with time constraint A CANNOT be deleted.
Infotype records with time constraint B CAN be deleted.
The difference is check the BOLD TEXT.
As for ur second question, Function modules/dialog modules helps calling infotypes when called from any custom program ,and allows you to perform similar actions/tasks that you would perform on them from direct maintainance. ex: create,change, delete etc. also performing the same on multiple infotypes in a single go using a them is easier than writing a code to manipulate each single infotype.
SAP exposed these functions to be exploited as there will come many situations in business scenarios where you require to work with them by writing custom code.
hope its helpful

  • 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.

  • "New" and "old" appraisals at the same time (OSA and Perf module)

    Hi All,
    We currently use the old Performance Appraisals system (APPCREATE, BA object), but we are planing to switch to the new one - Objective Setting and Appraisals module (HAP00 REPLA switch).
    My questions are.
    - After switching the appraisal system, old appraisals will be available at the same time, too?
    - Are there any transaction to view the old appraisals (APPDISPLAY, or else?)
    - On IT0025 we will see only the new appraisals, or all of them?
    Do anyone have experiences on this issue?
    Thanks in advance!
    Márta

    hi Marta,
    i have started directly with osa in 2006 so i barely touched the old mbo appraisals in it25 (besides a migration project). Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if the transactions were well separated, which means that you could easily copy and make your own transaction for the old appraisals, for the technical users. For the business users i would suggest to write an implementation for the hrhap00link badi, where you print out in a smartform the last one or two "old" appraisals of the appraisee.

  • Time Constraints on ESS - Record Working Time and Leave Request

    Hi All,
    I have configured Time Constraints and their reaction in V_T554Y.
    When I record the appropriate combination of Attendances and Absences in back-end, I can see the reactions as specified... However, when I try to do the same in ESS - Recording Working Time and Leave Request, I do not see that Time Constraints taking effect on the front end.
    Here is what I have done:
    I have two attendance - P001 and P002. P001 is configured to be recorded on Leave Request where as P002 is configured to be recorded via Record Working Time (CATS) link.
    I record the attendance P001 in Leave Request and also post that into infotypes. After this, I try to record P002 in the Record Working Time Screen and I still get errors (Errors are from: HRTIM00REC E/207 and LR E/335)
    If I try to replicate the same in the back-end in IT20002, then there is no issues.
    Can anyone help and let me know how we can implement the same Time constraints reactions on the front-end and the back-end.
    Thanks a bunch
    - Harshal

    Note that Time constraints are not valid for Leave request and Working time ie in ESS
    it only comes via PA30
    in CATS too, we dont follow much HR related collisions checks these are taken into consideration during CAT6
    and in leave request via Rptarqpost
    so its not gonna work, Its intended and correct! go for a user exit cats0003 or check cac1 profile customisation

  • Ess Time Sheet and Attendance Web Dynpro - ABAP or JAVA

    We are determining the resources we will be needing for the HR - ESS Time Sheet and Attendance Module.   
    What is this module written in.  ABAP Web Dynpro or Java Web Dynpro.
    Many thanks, 
    Multiple replies welcome.

    The ESSTimeSheet is now called Record Working Time & for now it is still in WebDynpro JAVA.. looking at how complex the whole application is, it will really take some beating to rewrite the same in WDA.

  • Time constraint in 0008 infotype - any report for this siituation?

    Hi,
    I need some help to solution a big problem with time constraint and 0008 infotype.
    Resume:
    when I put the "2" time constraint, all the history of 0008 entries are changed...
    For exemple:
    Old (before "2" time constraint):
    0 - 01.11.2007 - 31.12.9999 - 1000,00
    0 - 01.10.2007 - 31.10.2007 - 900,00
    NEW (after "2" time constraint):
    0 - 01.11.2007 - 31.12.9999 - 1000,00
    0 - 01.10.2007 - 01.10.2007 - 900,00
    BR - 01.10.2007 - 01.10.2007 - 900,00
    OR
    0 - 01.11.2007 - 31.12.9999 - 1000,00
    BR - 01.10.2005 - 01.10.2005 - 900,00
    there aren't logical situation, all the records have a lot of errors...
    Are there any report that corrects this situation????
    Regards!!!!

    Daniel,
    thanks for your response, and here's some more info:
    - I've use the time contraint in multiple playlists, that have worked just fine before adding the time constraint;
    - initially, after adding a time constraint (usually something like "time" "is less than" "10:00") everything seemed fine;
    - only a few days later I noticed that my playlist hadn't been updated correctly. For example, one of my playlists consists of songs rated 4 and I limit to 50 songs by least recently played; with over 900 songs rated 4, after a song was played it should disappear from that playlist for a while but some songs didn't; also, sometimes I would see less than 50 songs in that playlist;
    - after removing the time constraint the playlist updated correctly again
    I know that the fact this only appears after a few days (or that I've only noticed it a few days later) makes it pretty tough to narrow down but that's all I've got so far.
    Thanks again,
    Heiko.

  • How to run the PioneerCyclingJSP and MotorPriseJSP modules at a time

    Guys,
    I would like to run the PioneerCyclingJSP and MotorPriseJSP modules at a time.
    Could you please suggest me the steps to run both servers at same time on JBOSS 5.0 with ORACLE.
    How to run a more that one server instance...
    Thank you

    You should be able to include both modules when building your ear file. Then both the module's war files will be created in the ear file. Access both the applications with their respective /PioneerCycling or /motorprise ( look for context root in application.xml)
    If you want to run each application on different server, then
    1. create 1 individual instances of jboss server for pioneer and another for motorprise
    2. create additional dynamo server using command makeDynamoServer.bat motorprise 8861 8851
    3. deploy each one on respective server folders in jboss
    Use the appropriate ports to access ( say for ex:)
    localhost:8860/pioneer
    or
    localhost:8861/motorprise

  • Dialog Module and List Processing.

    Hi All,
    I am having a program in which after processing I get a basic list. Using PF-STATUS of the basic list a dialog module is called using 'CALL SCREEN'  which accepts date and has exectue and cancel buttons on it.
    What do I do to so that user when clicks on cancel button the dialog module disapperas and the original list processing is still seen.
    Thanks,
    DJ

    Hi,
    To pass control from the dialog processor to the list processor, you must include the following statement in one of the dialog modules:
    LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING [AND RETURN TO SCREEN <nnnn>].
    You can include this statement in either the PBO or the PAI event. Its effect is to start the list processor and display the basic list after the PAI processing of the current screen. The basic list contains any list output from all PBO and PAI modules that have been executed up to that point.

  • 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.

  • Time constraint classes and  screen number for absence type

    Hi all,
    What should be the Time constraint classes and  screen number for absence type.
    The different absence types are annual leave, sick leave , study leave , personal leave, maternity leave , juryduty leave nad leave without pay etc
    Kindly help.
    Regards,

    The time constaint class depends on the client requirement. 
    eg.if they want that a error needs to be generated while overlapping absences or warning message is required. 
    Time contraints comprise the following:
    Time constraint classes that determine which collisions in time data records are allowed
    Time constraint table that contains the time-based collisions allowed in the time data records
    Time constraint indicator that displays whether a new data record that collides with an existing time data record can be transferred to the system or whether the transfer is prohibited
    For screen number you will have to see if the is quota based deduction or just an absence.  Here is the documentation of screen number from SAP
    In the standard system, the following numbers are allocated to the screens:
    1. 2000 - General absence
    This screen is used for all absences which do not require special processing (such as paid leave of absence for getting married).
    2. 2001 - Quota deduction
    This screen is used for entering data on leave or time in lieu of overtime.
    3. 2002 - Work incapacity
    Use this screen for all absence types where continued pay should be taken into account automatically by the system.
    4. Special screens have been developed for the following absence types:
    2003 - maternity protection, parental leave
    2004 - military and non-military service
    2005 - work incapacity (Netherlands)
    Please go through the documentation of the configuration.

  • 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

    Instead,  I have only the field "ObjId".

  • Infotype 0185 Personal IDs and time constraint

    Hi people,
    Can you help me... is it possible to set different time constraint for different subtypes in infotype 0185 Personal ID's and where?
    Thank you,
    Romano

    Hi guys,
    thank you for your asnwer, I can see that in table V_T582A we can change time constraint for the whole infotype, but unfortunatelly I can't set different time constraint for different subtype in infotype 0185.
    I want to manage that for subtype 01 i have time constraint 2 and for subtype 02 time constraint 03.
    It is possible for example for infotype adress (0006) but i don't see where is it possible for infotype 0185.
    Thank you.

  • Change time constraint of Infotype 0006 subtype 1 and subtype 2

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to change the TC of infotype 0006 subtype 1 and subtype 2.
    Currently I tried to change the TC in table V_T582A but its giving me an error : "Text maintenance not permitted as infotype part of Data Sharing (T582G)  "

    REPORT  ZTEST.
    tables: t591a.
