Cross Applicatin Time Sheet (CATS) Vs Time Manager's Workplace

Dear Guru,
I am not an expert in HCM Module.
I would like someone to kindly do me a favour in explaining the diffent between CATS and Time Manager's Workplace.
The main objective is to select the right tool for implementing Time Sheet User Interface for "Incentive Wage/Piece Work Payroll Scheme".
Please kindly give me some light.
Thanks in advance.

The Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) is a cross-application tool for recording working times and tasks. It enables you to control all business processes concerning your employeesu2019 tasks u2013 from paying the employees, through monitoring the progress of a project, to creating invoices.
Its main strength is that it enables your employees to record their own data.The Time Sheet is a cross-application component in SAP R/3.
The Time Manageru2019s Workplace is a user interface incorporating the tasks involved in administrating employee time and labor and time evaluation messages. It was specifically designed to meet the needs of time administrators in decentralized departments.
The Time Manageru2019s Workplace enables time administrators to do their daily work quickly.
The Time Manageru2019s Workplace replaces the majority of functions of the Maintain Time Data (PA61) Time Management Pool (PT40), and Time Recording for Multiple Persons and Infotypes (RPTTMW00) transactions

Time Manager's Workplace required fields (BAdI)

Hello,
we have a problem with required fields in Time Manager's Workplace. In our process, when time aministrators creates absence ILLNESS, field Certified start is required field. In customizing and in note 415119 is written, that required fields can be customized with BAdI. Our specialist has tried to customize it as written in note but he didn't found how to customize screen enhancement. He also found, screen enhancement is not possible. Does anybody know, hot to fix that problem?
BAdI, we are using is PT_BLP_USER.
Thank you very much,
David

Hi David,
To update any customization you made to the PTMW screens, you have to run the following Program on the Production System:
Transaction SE38 > RPT_TMW_CUST_UPDATE_TCVIEW
Select the u2018Update TCVIEW tableu2019 block.
Run the program for the following Screen Areas:
u2022 EN1: Column settings for Time Events tab in Multi-Day view
u2022 TN1: Column settings for Time Data tab in Multi-Day view
u2022 T11: Column settings for Time Data in One-Day view
u2022 T1M: Column settings for Time Data in Multi-Person view
Please let my know if this solves your problem.

Time Manager's Workplace and Employee temporary assignment in Shift plannin

Hello fellow SAPPERS,
I trust that this mail finds you all well.I wonder if you could help me
1. With the temporary assignment of employees to another org unit using the shift planning section of TM, will i be able to see those people temporarily assigned unedr my reporting structure within PTMW as the line manager.
2. How do i default the people/employee list on PTMW that are reporting to a specific line manager or supervisor without having to do a selection of a specific org that one is reposible to. Is it STD and backed up by user exit. I know you have to set the ID's for selection condition in IMG. But i would kik eto find out how do i default the reporting structure/list of employees without having to first make selection via Org unit?
Many Thanks
Sher

Hi,
Note that I am not sure of my answer:
1) It won't work because what you assign in shift planning doesn't change his "real" assignement.
2) Right now I don't remmeber but I think it is possible... I am suppose to spend time exploring deeper PTMW, I'll let you know if I found something

Manager's Desktop and Time Manager's Workplace

Hi All, we want to use TMW within MDT. TMW should start with the employees selected by the Manager's Desktop. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks
Gerard

Hi, thank you for the answer. I know that I can start TMW from the Manager's Desktop platform but even if I select one employee in MDT and than I start TMW, the TMW comes up with all the employees for who I am the time administrator.
I know I should use (or create) another selection rule but I cant find the right one. Do you have any idee?
Thanks,
Gerard

Time manager workplace

Hi all,
An interesting question for the SAP guru's!
In Time Manager Workplace (trx PTMW) the user has to select the employees he wants to see in the time data area. Everytime he selects another date in the calendar he has to refresh or reload that list and again select the users he wants to see in the time data area.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
It would be really nice if everytime the user selects another date in the calendar that the employee selection is updated and that the updated employee list is also loaded in the time data window (pe multiple employee view)
Any usefull suggestions will be rewarded
Kind regards,
Jonathan

I got ur problem alright...I am sorry I probably have no answer to that...May be something to with the USER ID and the Transactions that it has...or may be u can check the following:But I am not sure of this either..
Summary
Symptom
In the Time Manager's Workplace, users can choose the .Temporarily insert employees menu option to call up a dialog box and enter a personnel number directly. The personnel number is then added to the employee list included - regardless of whether it is already in the list.
If administrators use this function frequently, they may want to be able to use it more quickly. The disadvantage of the current approach of having the function in a menu button in the employee list is that the function cannot be accessed using a keyboard shortcut.
Two alternative approaches are conceivable:
1. An input field for the personnel number, or
2. A button in the menu or in the GUI status with corresponding keyboard shortcut.
The disadvantage of the first solution is that users must confirm their entries for the system to update data in the data entry area. There is therefore a risk that the personnel number entered does not correspond to the data displayed if the user has forgotten to confirm entry of the personnel number and the user could then enter data for the wrong employee. For this reason, the second, modal approach is favored.
This note describes how to add an entry to the MEN screen area of the Time Manager's Workplace for calling up the employee dialog box. The new functionality is therefore fully customizable. The new functionality is inactive and you must make it accessible to users by maintaining the field selections of the MEN screen area.
Additional key words
TMW, employee selection
Cause and prerequisites
Usability improvement
Solution
Call up transaction SE80 and edit the functional group PT_GUI_SAP_TMW.
In the GUI status CT_FACILITIES, add a new entry in the .Utilities context menu. Enter SELECT_EMP as the function code, .Temporarily insert employees as the function text and info text, ICON_EMPLOYEE as the icon name, and .I for the fastpath.
Add the SELECT_EMP entry to the GUI status CT_FIELD_SELECTION also.
In the GUI statuses PLAN and WORKLIST, add the SELECT_EMP entry to the Utilities menu bar. Afterwards, add the function to the application toolbar of both statuses. Finally, add the SELECT_EMP function to the UMSCH-F9 function key.
Make the changes documented in the 'Source code corrections' section to the program objects and generate the changes.

CONCURRENT MANAGER SETUP AND CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS IN AN 11I RAC ENVIR

제품 : AOL
작성날짜 : 2004-05-13
PURPOSE
RAC-PCP 구성에 대한 Setup 사항을 기술한 문서입니다.
PCP 구현은 CM의 workload 분산, Failover등을 목적으로 합니다.
Explanation
Failure sceniro 는 다음 3가지로 구분해 볼수 있습니다.
1. The database instance that supports the CP, Applications, and Middle-Tier
processes such as Forms, or iAS can fail.
2. The Database node server that supports the CP, Applications, and Middle-
Tier processes such as Forms, or iAS can fail.
3. The Applications/Middle-Tier server that supports the CP (and Applications)
base can fail.
아래부분은 CM,AP 구성과
CM과 GSM(Global Service Management)과의 관계를 설명하고 있습니다.
The concurrent processing tier can reside on either the Applications, Middle-
Tier, or Database Tier nodes. In a single tier configuration, non PCP
environment, a node failure will impact Concurrent Processing operations do to
any of these failure conditions. In a multi-node configuration the impact of
any these types of failures will be dependent upon what type of failure is
experienced, and how concurrent processing is distributed among the nodes in
the configuration. Parallel Concurrent Processing provides seamless failover
for a Concurrent Processing environment in the event that any of these types of
failures takes place.
In an Applications environment where the database tier utilizes Listener (
server) load balancing is implemented, and in a non-load balanced environment,
there are changes that must be made to the default configuration generated by
Autoconfig so that CP initialization, processing, and PCP functionality are
initiated properly on their respective/assigned nodes. These changes are
described in the next section - Concurrent Manager Setup and Configuration
Requirements in an 11i RAC Environment.
The current Concurrent Processing architecture with Global Service Management
consists of the following processes and communication model, where each process
is responsible for performing a specific set of routines and communicating with
parent and dependent processes.
아래 내용은 PCP환경에서 ICM, FNDSM, IM, Standard Manager의 역활을 설명하고
있습니다.
Internal Concurrent Manager (FNDLIBR process) - Communicates with the Service
Manager.
The Internal Concurrent Manager (ICM) starts, sets the number of active
processes, monitors, and terminates all other concurrent processes through
requests made to the Service Manager, including restarting any failed processes.
The ICM also starts and stops, and restarts the Service Manager for each node.
The ICM will perform process migration during an instance or node failure.
The ICM will be
active on a single node. This is also true in a PCP environment, where the ICM
will be active on at least one node at all times.
Service Manager (FNDSM process) - Communicates with the Internal Concurrent
Manager, Concurrent Manager, and non-Manager Service processes.
The Service Manager (SM) spawns, and terminates manager and service processes (
these could be Forms, or Apache Listeners, Metrics or Reports Server, and any
other process controlled through Generic Service Management). When the ICM
terminates the SM that
resides on the same node with the ICM will also terminate. The SM is ？hained?
to the ICM. The SM will only reinitialize after termination when there is a
function it needs to perform (start, or stop a process), so there may be
periods of time when the SM is not active, and this would be normal. All
processes initialized by the SM
inherit the same environment as the SM. The SM environment is set by APPSORA.
env file, and the gsmstart.sh script. The TWO_TASK used by the SM to connect
to a RAC instance must match the instance_name from GV$INSTANCE. The apps_<sid>
listener must be active on each CP node to support the SM connection to the
local instance. There
should be a Service Manager active on each node where a Concurrent or non-
Manager service process will reside.
Internal Monitor (FNDIMON process) - Communicates with the Internal Concurrent
Manager.
The Internal Monitor (IM) monitors the Internal Concurrent Manager, and
restarts any failed ICM on the local node. During a node failure in a PCP
environment the IM will restart the ICM on a surviving node (multiple ICM's may
be started on multiple nodes, but only the first ICM started will eventually
remain active, all others will gracefully terminate). There should be an
Internal Monitor defined on each node
where the ICM may migrate.
Standard Manager (FNDLIBR process) - Communicates with the Service Manager and
any client application process.
The Standard Manager is a worker process, that initiates, and executes client
requests on behalf of Applications batch, and OLTP clients.
Transaction Manager - Communicates with the Service Manager, and any user
process initiated on behalf of a Forms, or Standard Manager request. See Note:
240818.1 regarding Transaction Manager communication and setup requirements for
RAC.
Concurrent Manager Setup and Configuration Requirements in an 11i RAC
Environment
PCP를 사용하기위한 기본적인 Setup 절차를 설명하고 있습니다.
In order to set up Setup Parallel Concurrent Processing Using AutoConfig with
GSM,
follow the instructions in the 11.5.8 Oracle Applications System Administrators
Guide
under Implementing Parallel Concurrent Processing using the following steps:
1. Applications 11.5.8 and higher is configured to use GSM. Verify the
configuration on each node (see WebIV Note:165041.1).
2. On each cluster node edit the Applications Context file (<SID>.xml), that
resides in APPL_TOP/admin, to set the variable <APPLDCP oa_var="s_appldcp">
ON </APPLDCP>. It is normally set to OFF. This change should be performed
using the Context Editor.
3. Prior to regenerating the configuration, copy the existing tnsnames.ora,
listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files, where they exist, under the 8.0.6 and iAS
ORACLE_HOME locations on the each node to preserve the files (i.e./<some_
directory>/<SID>ora/$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<SID>/tnsnames.ora). If any of
the Applications startup scripts that reside in COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<SID>
have been modified also copy these to preserve the files.
4. Regenerate the configuration by running adautocfg.sh on each cluster node as
outlined in Note:165195.1.
5. After regenerating the configuration merge any changes back into the
tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files in the network directories,
and the startup scripts in the COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<SID> directory.
Each nodes tnsnames.ora file must contain the aliases that exist on all
other nodes in the cluster. When merging tnsnames.ora files ensure that each
node contains all other nodes tnsnames.ora entries. This includes tns
entries for any Applications tier nodes where a concurrent request could be
initiated, or request output to be viewed.
6. In the tnsnames.ora file of each Concurrent Processing node ensure that
there is an alias that matches the instance name from GV$INSTANCE of each
Oracle instance on each RAC node in the cluster. This is required in order
for the SM to establish connectivity to the local node during startup. The
entry for the local node will be the entry that is used for the TWO_TASK in
APPSORA.env (also in the APPS<SID>_<HOSTNAME>.env file referenced in the
Applications Listener [APPS_<SID>] listener.ora file entry "envs='MYAPPSORA=<
some directory>/APPS<SID>_<HOSTNAME>.env)
on each node in the cluster (this is modified in step 12).
7. Verify that the FNDSM_<SID> entry has been added to the listener.ora file
under the 8.0.6 ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<SID> directory. See WebiV Note:
165041.1 for instructions regarding configuring this entry. NOTE: With the
implementation of GSM the 8.0.6 Applications, and 9.2.0 Database listeners
must be active on all PCP nodes in the cluster during normal operations.
8. AutoConfig will update the database profiles and reset them for the node
from which it was last run. If necessary reset the database profiles back to
their original settings.
9. Ensure that the Applications Listener is active on each node in the cluster
where Concurrent, or Service processes will execute. On each node start the
database and Forms Server processes as required by the configuration that
has been implemented.
10. Navigate to Install > Nodes and ensure that each node is registered. Use
the node name as it appears when executing a nodename?from the Unix prompt on
the server. GSM will add the appropriate services for each node at startup.
11. Navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Define, and set up the primary and
secondary node names for all the concurrent managers according to the
desired configuration for each node workload. The Internal Concurrent
Manager should be defined on the primary PCP node only. When defining the
Internal Monitor for the secondary (target) node(s), make the primary node (
local node) assignment, and assign a secondary node designation to the
Internal Monitor, also assign a standard work shift with one process.
12. Prior to starting the Manager processes it is necessary to edit the APPSORA.
env file on each node in order to specify a TWO_TASK entry that contains
the INSTANCE_NAME parameter for the local nodes Oracle instance, in order
to bind each Manager to the local instance. This should be done regardless
of whether Listener load balancing is configured, as it will ensure the
configuration conforms to the required standards of having the TWO_TASK set
to the instance name of each node as specified in GV$INSTANCE. Start the
Concurrent Processes on their primary node(s). This is the environment
that the Service Manager passes on to each process that it initializes on
behalf of the Internal Concurrent Manager. Also make the same update to
the file referenced by the Applications Listener APPS_<SID> in the
listener.ora entry "envs='MYAPPSORA= <some directory>/APPS<SID>_<HOSTNAME>.
env" on each node.
13. Navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Administer and verify that the Service
Manager and Internal Monitor are activated on the secondary node, and any
other addititional nodes in the cluster. The Internal Monitor should not be
active on the primary cluster node.
14. Stop and restart the Concurrent Manager processes on their primary node(s),
and verify that the managers are starting on their appropriate nodes. On
the target (secondary) node in addition to any defined managers you will
see an FNDSM process (the Service Manager), along with the FNDIMON process (
Internal Monitor).

What is your database version? OS?
We are using VCP suite for Planning Purpose. We are using VCP environment (12.1.3) in Decentralized structure connecting to 3 differect source environment ( consisting 11i and R12). As per the Oracle Note {RAC Configuration Setup For Running MRP Planning, APS Planning, and Data Collection Processes [ID 279156]} we have implemented RAC in our test environment to get better performance.
But after doing all the setups and concurrent programs assignment to different nodes, we are seeing huge performance issue. The Complete Collection which takes generally on an avg 180 mins in Production, is taking more than 6 hours to complete in RAC.
So I would like to get suggestion from this forum, if anyone has implemented RAC in pure VCP (decentralized) environment ? Will there be any improvement if we make our VCP Instance in RAC ?Do you PCP enabled? Can you reproduce the issue when you stop the CM?
Have you reviewed these docs?
