Time Evaluation: Problem with Absence Quotas

Hi Gurus,
When vacation days are keyed in advance, and at a later date are made inactive as a result of a LOA. What happens in those cases is that SAP still considers the absence valid and it remains as deducted from the vacation quotas.
How can we prevent this and allow time eval to run correctly?
Regards
Naveen

Hi Gurus,
I will try to explain it more clearly.
An employee records a vacation well in advance. for example, today I have entered vacation in IT2001 from 23.12.2009 - 31.12.2009. But then tomorrow I go on a leave of absence meaning I am on LOA from 18.12.2009 - 31.12.2009.
What is happening now is since I recroded absence already, the quota has already been deducted. But later on the next day, even though I went on LOA, the system is not considering me as inactive and neglecting the absence which I recorded.
So how should I prevent this quota from deducting?
Regards
Naveen

Use of Time Evaluation to generate Absence Quota

Hi,
We are planning to use time evaluation to generate absence quota. At the moment we are using RPTQTA00 report to generate Absence Quota. We have negative time management and since, the project has already gone live i have very limited scope to change the basic settings for example we do not have any employee subgroup to identify part time employees, PT & FT are in one employee sub-groups. We have only one ESG & PSG for time recording, time quota etc. The base entitlement is defined for the FT employees and it is reduced propertionately based on the employement percentage in IT0007. Now we are going to adopt a change in design, and planning to have specific work-schedule for PT employees. In that case, we will not have the scope to maintain %age in IT0007 for part time employees but exact no of working hours will be used. It means that system will treat the PT emploees as FT while generating absence quota and output the FT absence entitlement. As i said earlier we can not differentiate PT employees from FT employees based on ESG or PSG, i can not create a separate quota selection rule for part time employees. Hence, we are moving from running RPTQTA00 report to time evaluation for absence quota generation purpose.
Now can anybody please help finding a alternate solution for the above, if it is possible to do it through report RPTQTA00 or we have to adopt the time evaluation. In case we are going to generate absence quota through time evaluation, can we only generate absence quota and skip anything that is related to payroll.
Any comments/suggestion/advise will be very helpful to us.
Thanks.
Sujit

We are not able to generate absence quota for part-time employees as when we do that, system is treating PT employees as FT employees and the FT base entitlement is referred while calculating absence quota. i can not define separate absence entitlement for PT employees as we have only one ESG and PSG, and based on this quota selection group is defined. The QUOMO feature is defined based on work contract - employee sub-group (there is no separate emp sub-group for PT employees) - Pay Scale Group. We are having this problem as we have specific work schedule for PT employees now (Ex. we create 3 days work schedule with 15 hours: 4.5,4.5, 6 hours) and we are not maintaining employement percentage for them. So system is treating PT employee as FT employee with 100% employement percentage. Please let me know if you need any specific info to understand my issue.
Thank you so much for the response.

Time evaluation to generate future quotas

Hi Gurus,
We must generate absence quotas for the future(year 2015) cause personnel must request absences for next year.
We run time evaluation till 01/01/2015 to generate quotas: 2015 quotas were generated correctly.
If we run time evaluation till december 2014, all entitlements of year 2015 are reset to zero( IT2006-Absence quota).
Is this a standard sap behaviour? the only solution is to set time evaluation till the 1st of january of the next year?
Thanks a lot.
Marco.

Hi Marco,
I recommend you consider your schema and quota generation rules (V_T559L) in detail to see how system generates quota. As you know 1st of each year is a key date to generate and accrued quota to EEs.
I think the quota generation rules check the 1st day of year and gives the quota to EE. What will happen if you run time evaluation till 2015? Is there any problem in this case.
If you would you can make a small schema with separated PCRs just for qota generation in such a cases to run and generate just quota without any other effect. In this way you can develp new PCRs with new rules in V_T559L to generate quota at the end of 2014. You should take care the quota validation be the same as you would.

Omid

Time Management - Work Schedule /Absence Quota / Part-time quota generation

Hi Experts,
Need your help!
We have a requirement where we need to create distinct work schedules for each irregular / part-time work pattern and the number of work patterns we have identified is more than 1000. We are using report RPTQTA00 to generate quota. We have used work contract, employee sub-group & employee payscale group in the QUOMO feature to get the base entitlement picked up. We have defined base entitlement for the full time workschedules with 37.0 / 38.5 hours and there is a reduction rule which reduce the absence entitlement for part time employees as per the employement percentage in IT0007. Now we have a scenario where we have created a work schedule with different no of hours for each day of week (M-4, T-6, W-4, TH-6, F-4, S-OFF, SU - OFF); this work schedule is treated as full time work pattern by the system and quota is generated as full time work schedule refering to the QUOMO settings, but as per my client employees with this work schedule have reduced hours of working hours (24 hours, not 37.0 or 38.5 hours)and hence it should be treated as part-time employees, and the quota generated should be proportionately reduced. I have very limited scope to create any ESG or PSG as we do not have any distinct emplyee sub-groups maintained for full-time and part-time employees and the project has already gone-live with payroll/time. It is worth mentioning over here that we are recording absence through ESS and it takes into account the daily planned working time maintained in IT0007, so we are very particular to keep it as accurate as possible.
I would really appreciate if somebody can please suggest any possible solution for the above issue, or guide me on what would be the best way to tackle it. I can give more details in case anybody need to have a better understanding of the issue to suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance
Sujit

Hi Kathy,
Yes, i have found the solution to it. I do not know whether it will fit into your situation or not, but i got two solutions for my issue mentioned above, please check it may help:
1) To use capacity utilization field in IT0008 to get the FTE hours and defining the reduction rule of absence quota based on the capacity utilazation percentage.
2) There are three user exits available in the standard report RPTQTA00, i have used one of them to write my own rules for the calculations (deduction rule)
Do let me know if i can help you in any respect. Thanks.

Sujit

Time capsule - problems with directory

I have got time capsule running about two weeks ago and everything worked well Tuesday evening it came up with a message saying it could not access the directory on my Macbook pro - still doing it so switched it off - any suggestions?

Here's something weird. Another annoying issue I've had with TC is that it slows down the network over time. I'm on Uverse at 10/1.5 and after a week or so it's down to about 2.5 to 3 down. A reboot of my Mac and TC and the problem goes away. So while I'm musing about the problem with the directory, I notice I'm starting to slow again. I reboot, and guess what? My directory is back all the way to April when I set it up.
I'm beginning to suspect that TC/TM doesn't play well with a couple of other applications. One of the companies I'm working with uses a P2P system to send around some monster video files and I'm using something called Azureus (which is also hook up with an application called Vuez that seems to be a YouTube sort of thing). I run Azureus overnight as do most of the development guys I'm working with so we can send around some big video files and have them ready for review and discussion in the morning. I didn't have anything coming in or going out last night and didn't launch the program after the reboot and everyhing is fine so far. It's my first suspect. If not that, then something else maybe is fighting TM for resources? Anyway, I'll keep an eye on this and post if something becomes obvious.

Time offset problems with file i/o

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the file i/o VI's. I require my application to save serial data at constant five minute intervals. The problem I'm currently seeing is that on each save to a file a time offset is being added which eventually becomes seconds, then minutes and so on. Since this application is meant to be run for a whole year this is a serious problem.
Attached is the VI, an Arduino program simulating how the DAQ sends data and a file showing my time offset problem.
Any ideas/suggestions/fixes are appreciated.
Thanks
Jose Molina
P.S.
To run the VI upload the code to an Arduino, select it's serial port in the popup VI then click on Ok. The VI will wait for a time that is a modulo of 5 then create a folder structure inside the same location as the LLB. Inside this folder structure should be a file with the data which should be saved every five minutes if left at the default averaging time.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the averaging time is configurable in the pop up vi at the start. I tried 20 seconds because it's much faster for testing than 5 minutes. Timing is being done by a simple counter that increments each time data is received. So if I receive data the timer increments by 5 because data is sent every 5 seconds. Once the timer is equal to the averaging time the data is sent to the enqueue function and then the blocking dequeue function on the second loop sends the data to the file save vi which then saves the data to the file.

Time synchronization problem with "niUSRP EX Rx Multiple Synchronized Inputs.v i " ??

Hello,
I used "niUSRP EX Rx Multiple Synchronized Inputs.vi "( offred by NI) to synchronize 2 USRP in reception (the master connected to laptop via Ethernet and the slave connected to the master via MIMO cable).
I set: master--> RefIn and PpsIn     slave-->Mimo and Mimo.
Problem: Inspite I used identical cables that connect the both devices to the transmitter; the signal received by the master and the signal received by the slave ar'nt synchronized in time because the time lag (delay) is not constant!!!.
Where is the problem?!!
Thank you

Hi,
I used:
transmitter--> Rohde & Shwartz SM300 signal generator.
Receivers--> 2 x USRP N200 (connected with MIMO cable) master--> RefIn and PpsIn     slave-->Mimo and Mimo.
3 identical cables to transmit the signal, connected via Power Splitter/Combiner (Mini-Circuits).
Cable 10MHz connects the master device with the transmitter.
FreqTx=700MHz (sin)           CarrierFreqRx=701MHz --------> so the received signals are a sin of 1MHz (701-700=1MHz).
I have no probleme with phase synchronisation (because both the slave and the master received a sin of 1MHz).
My problem is the time synchronization:
How can I verify if i did the time synchronization?
I must have 2 superposed sin [(ch0 I with ch1 I) (ch0 Q with ch1Q)] ?
I must do Timed commands? if yes! How to do it?
I try to run the example of constellation, then i have message: Find VI Named".........Vi"    I have this problem all the time when I run some examples . I have probleme with setup LabView?!
Best regards

Times Font Problems With PDFs

Hello,
I am having an intermittent problem with PDFs with Times fonts.
Sometimes the PDFs print OK and other times words will be jumbled together or strange characters will take the place of certain punctuation marks. There are several other things that seem to happen, but I cannot remember every issue. Every time there is a problem, the PDF "Looks good on the monitor!".
This happens on 10.3.9 and Os9 machines also.
I have done Permission Repairs on a regular basis, cleaned my Font Caches, used FontFinagler etc.
I have run Norton on the Os9 machines, taken all fonts out of ATM and put them back in, trashed Adobe prefs, etc.
Sometimes this happens on PDFs from PCs, other times it happens on PDFs from Macs.
All of the versions of Acrobat we are using are Professional versions with the latest updates, so that shouldn't be the issue.
If anyone has any input on this, it will make my life considerably easier.
TIA,
David

David,
It sounds like the problem PDF docs did not have the fonts embedded into the docs when they were created originally, and the Times font on your computer is different. A couple of possible options, (a) ask the original creator to re-make the PDF doc with embedding the fonts, or (b) try re-writing the doc by doing a Save As... in Acrobat.
Hope this helps.

Real Time Simulation, problem with the 3D Lookup table

Hello,
I have a problem with LabVIEW RT. I want to read under the parameters of temperature, time and voltage, the current out of a matrix.
The matrices differ only in the temperature (first entry in a matrix).
If the 3D Lookup table only get one matrix, I often get "Not a Number" as result. But not always, although the parameters remain the same.
If the 3D Lookup table gets three or more matrices, the result never be "Not a Number". But the 2 other matrices are "dummys" filled up with zeros, expect the temperature. Also the problem appears only if I start the test sequence as Startup on the RT-System. If I start the test sequence from the Front Panel, the 3D Lookup table works well, whether one or more than three matrices!
Its confusing, I know ^^
The appendices contains pictures from a matrix an from the Block Diagram

Hello salomon,
The 3D lookup table is not generated in my code, but is invoked as a constant. I examine the behavior of electrical loads in the cars. Consumers were in a climate chamber measured at various temperatures and these values were packed into a 3D lookup.
Helps you even further? : D

Time Machine Problems with OS X Server

I have been using a MacMini with OS X server for about 5 months, backing it up to Time Machine on an external Western Digital MyBook (2 TB) hard drive. I had no problems until recently, when I migrated all of my iTunes media onto the home user profile on the Server. Time machine now completes backing up about 97% of my files, but consistently will not complete backing up the final 2-3% of files, giving the following error message? "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk." The backup file is listed on the external drive as "2010-04-04-10491.inProgress". This indicates to me that there are certain files that Time Machine will not backup now. I have checked the file sharing permissions on both MacMini hard drives and can not see any problems. I have restarted the system many times with a similar result. I have also reformatted the external drive, with a similar result. Does anybody out there have any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer.

The logs didn't really help much.
It looks like it's a permissions issues. There are permissions problems with some of the files on the source disk. Here is what I had to do to fix. I'm sure there is an easier way to do it, but this is what worked for me...
1. Deleted all of my sharepoints in Server Preferences
2. As root, changed the permissions to all of the files on my source disk (recursively) to be owned by my main admin user—the one running the backups.
3. Re-created my sharepoints
That worked for me. Hope it helps others.

Problem with single quote around ANYINTERACT

CREATE TABLE JUNK

This is how you go about debugging execute immediate statements. I am assuming that you fixed the first problem as marias suggested and cam up with something like this. Note, I changed the table in your surso to dual since I do not have your tables, but the effect is the same. I changed the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line so you can actually see what you are trying to execute. I also added some carriage returns to make the formatting a littel easier to see. This is what I got:

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.You have at least two issues with this CREATE TABLE statement. The last line needs to have the X (which came from dual) quoted since it is a string. You also still have a reference to CNT.DSNM, unless you fixed both occurences.
Another major problem is that if your cursor will return more than one row, and by the structure of this I assume that it might, the on the second record you are going to get:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object.
Although I see no reason why you need dynamic sql here, you really need to use bind variables whereever possible (everywhere you use a variable except ofr names of database objects. So, your procedure should look more like:

                   ' AND R.DSNM = :b2 )';
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement USING cnt.dsnm, cnt.dsnm

Perhaps if you can explain in words what you are trying to accomplish someone can provide a much better response.

Importing excel files - problem with single quote

When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
REM Error report:
REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
REM *Cause:
REM *Action:
One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Steve

Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
Thanks

Time Machine problems with MBP 2011

I've been having problems trying to back up my computer data to a hard drive using Time Machine. I've already set Time Machine up, connect my 500 GB Seagate hard drive (which says is specifically designed for Time Machine on the Mac) and press Start Backup Now. After I do that, the computer pulls out a progress bar, so I left it there and after a long time went to check the progress, but the machine said that it had 600 MB out of 320 GB to copy. Why is this? Also I try to do something because the computer seemed stuck, or frozen. So I had to do a hard shut down, and tried it again but the same thing happened. What can I do to finally back it up? I know the Hard drive is not a problem... please help me!
