Tuning LDB PNP

Hi all,
Can any one tell me how to optimize data retrival in PNP LDB.

Hi,
Use the following statement to restrict selection by dates.
infotypes : 0008 VALID FROM date1 TO date2.
I don't think you have the GET dbatb FIELDS option with the PNP Logical database. You just have to use loop at p0008 where ansal =...

How to use LDB PNP with ABAP objects in a program

Hello,
I am wondering if anybody has used the HR logical database(LDB) PNP with user defined ABAP objects in a program? I am using the FM- LDB_PROCESS but its not working. Also assigning PNP in the attributes section of the program -- so that I can use predefined fields from the LDB and then invoking the FM doesn't work -- throwing 'Logical database already active' error.
I suppose even with the ABAP objects and the new FM -- I should still be able to utilize the pre-defined fields of the PNP database -- and also the built in authorizations. I cannot use GET PERNR and REJECT as they give errors. I understand that the use of HR-macros (RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST and et al.) are not allowed as they use the table work area -- which is not allowed in ABAP-OOPS.
I would really appreciate if anyone could show me some insight regarding this. Thank you.
Kshitij R. Devre

Hi Kshitij
It would be really good if we could use both together. But as I know, it is not possible. "GET pernr." is an event-like loop statement and so cannot be used in OO context. And I guess, the same restriction holds for the "LDB_PROCESS" since it uses LDB-specific processing.
What I suggest you is to use standard and BAPI functions.
Sorry for giving bad news...

Reading Locked records from HR table using LDB PNP

Hi,
I am trying to read the table pa0168 using LDB PNP.
But the problem is that get pernr staement does not retrieve locked records i.e where PA0168-sprps eq "X'.
Can anybody help me with this.
I have to use LDB so i don't want a solution of writing a select * for the pa0168 table.
hence i have to use get pernr statement but it should also retrieve locked records.
how can i achieve that.? please help
Thanks

Hi GT,
In the START-OF-SELECTION event, set the parameter value
pnp-sw-ignorelockedrecords = 'N'.
Good Luck,

Authorization check in LDB PNP

Hi All,
I am using logical database PNP in my report program and GET PERNR to fill the infotype tables. Infotype level authorization checks are performed but not Org data level (organizational assignments). The role assigned to me has access to data of specific personnel areas but I am able to retrieve data of all personnel areas (this was maintained in the authorization object P_ORGIN).
I read the level of simplification should have a value 1 in the authorization object P_ABAP for Org Level authorizations to be performed. I have updated my role but still org level authorizations are not performed.
Can you please let me know if any special setting are to be done like in Tcode OOAC or set some flags/parameters in the report program to perform org data level authorization.
Any information provided will be really helpful.
Thanks,
Pavan

Hi,
A separate ID was created in an environment similar to production and proper authorization were assigned to it (I mean roles with authorization objcts P_ABAP - level of simplfication 1 and P_ORGIN - restricting based on personnel area). Still Org level authorizations were not performed while using the LDB PNP. Is there anything I am missing?
Thanks,
Pavan

Screen Change when using LDB - pnp

Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem.
I am using LDB -> pnp and HRIN0013 as Master data rep ,
in one of the programs that i developed.
The Screen and program behave fine in the development server.
Once i transport it to the production server, the Screen changes to something completely different.
What i noticed is that in attributes -->'Report category assignment' , HRIN0013 is not present.
This means that HRIN0013 has not been transported?
What can the problem be and how can i fix it?? I need to get this in by tommorow. Help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sanchit,
when I change the report class in an HR report, the system tells me for the change request number.
This change request, introduces, I think, a new record in some customize tables, like t599C.
There must be a record in this table, for the report class that you create.
Hope this helps you,

Make (LDB)PNP Fields obligatory on selection-screen

I am using LDB PNP.. I want to make some fields of PNP as obligatory. How Can I do that?
So far I am doing the following...
Initialization.
PNPABKRS-LOW = '?'.
Append PNPABKRS.
At selection-screen.
if PNPABKRS-LOW is initial.
PNPABKRS-LOW = '?'.
Message e100(z01).
endif.
What you suggest ?
Thanks
Message was edited by: Saquib Khan

You have to do this way,
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
 IF SCREEN-NAME = 'PNPABKRS-LOW '.
 SCREEN-REQUIRED = 1.
 MODIFY SCREEN.
 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Get pernr in screen 900 for ldb PNP

hi All,
I have created a program in HR-ABAP using ldb pnp and I have used the screen 900 [for get payroll] Now for few employees when I use GET pernr, its nt giving ne results. as in the the program goes to end of selection. Now wen i change the screen to normal [ blank or 000], the get pernr for same employees gives me results. Can someone please explain the reason for above?

Check whether the payroll run has taken place for the input employee numbers you are giving.
You can check in the Tcode PC_PAYRESULT.

Hi Reena
Check the status of employees for no result is displayed in 900 screen. Either they are active or payroll is run or not. That might be one of the reason. Another reason can be they are being open for the changes.

Transport of 'Report category Assignment' for LDB - PNP

Hi,
I am using LDB - PNP for a HR report. The screen works fine in the development server.
Once Transported to Quality and Production servers the screen changs to something else completely.
I see that HRIN0013 under 'Report category Assignment' ( found in Attributes of program ) is not transported to
to quality server. How can transport HRIN0013 to
to quality server? 
I have used 'Report category Assignment' X__X2201 and it works fine.
I need your assistance on this. Help will be highly appreciated.

Hi sanchit,
1. This report category HRIN0013
 must be a sap standard report category,
 which must be a part of the LDB program.
2. Just check out in your QA and production servers,
whether this HRIN0013 is available for
selection or not,
 in the same screen, u mentioned.
ie. se38 -- 'Report category Assignment' Button
( found in Attributes of program

Record selection in IT0000 (Actions) using LDB PNP

Hi Guys,
I am writing a report using LDB PNP, where I need to EXCLUDE the employees, if an action has been done on IT0000 for the reporting start date and end date.
Can anybody share the logic to do this using HR Macros or FM?
Thanks,
mini

Hi miniSAP!
I think this tip can help you.
You can make your job at follow form:
at "infotypes" declaration, use:
INFOTYPES: 0000 MODE N.
Inside "GET PERNR" event, you can get the informations using directly fm: HR_READ_INFOTYPE, because using "MODE N" at infotype declaration the standard system will not return any information about employee. In this form, you can make de filter of informations from fm HR_READ_INFOTYPE.
Best regards!

Coding ABAP using LDB PNP and authorizations problems

This post requires a blend of ABAP and HCM skills.
When coding my own ABAP using LDB PNP, the LDB will provide me with the employees selected but will skip those for which I do not have access (regarding Authorizations settings) to one or more of the infotypes declared in the program.
As a programmer I would like to receive from the LDB the information that an employee is skipped so that I can handle the exception.
Do you know how can I get this information from the LDB?
Thanks

I dont know if PNP can do it but PNPCE can:
at END-OF-SELECTION call macro PNP_GET_AUTH_SKIPPED_PERNRS
it will provide a list of skiped PERNRs
for further info see docu PNPCE

only infotype 0041 or others too?
Do you use PNP or PNPCE?
Configuration error? different date types?
no central person? OType CP in HRP1001?

LDB PNP authorization check authorization object

Hi,
I have used LDB PNP for HR reports.
We are using the authority check also, but the problem is all the records/data for all the people is being read by the report where some of the people data should not have been read as they belong to some other personal area that the role of the executer (user).
Hence it appears that authorization check is not working properly.
Following is how I am using it, Please suggest corrections or alternate way to correct this issue.
    rp-provide-from-last p0002 space gwa_outlist-begda
                                                    gwa_outlist-begda.
    IF pnp-sw-found NE '1' OR
        pnp-sw-auth-skipped-record EQ '1'.
        EXIT.
    ELSE.
        ls_tab-vorna = p0002-vorna.
        ls_tab-nachn = p0002-nachn.
    ENDIF.
Please reply with the corrections ore alterations,
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
(1)
Actually, if you're wirting report with PNP LDB, you do NOT need to do this hard-coded auth checking at all. Because the LDB abap code behind PNP has already do this job for you.
So all you need to do is to ask you HR consultant or Basis consultant to modify the authority config of certain ROLE with t-code PFCG, and then assign that ROLE to certain user with t-code SU01.
ABAP code behind PNP will automatically verify the current user according to his ROLE setting.
(2)
In some case you do not work with LDB report, then you need to do the authority check by yourself. General function AUTHORITY_CHECK is what you need. AUTHORITY_CHECK do the authority check by means of Authority Object.Belows are authority objects used in HR module(you can also see in PFCG if technial name switched on):
P_ORGIN    HR: Master Data
PLOG       Personnel Planning
P_PCLX     HR: Clusters
P_TCODE    HR: Transaction codes
Sample of checking personal area:
CALL FUNCTION 'AUTHORITY_CHECK'
     EXPORTING
          FIELD1              = ' PERSA'
          OBJECT              = 'P_ORGIN'

LDB PNP authorization check at record level - rp_provide_from_last

hi,
i am using LDB PNP,
I am using macro 'rp-provide-from-last' .
I neeed to place a authorization check so that the user of the program should only be allowed to view records of the people which comes under the same personnel area as of the user of the program.
Can you please guide me on how to implement this?

What is the main diff b/n ldb pnp and pnpce?

hi ,
what is the main diff b/n ldb pnp and pnpce?
thanks.

Hi Arun,
PNP/PNPCE - Both are Logical Databases for PA Module
In PNPCE - CE stands for Concurrent Employment.
The differnces are:
The PNPCE logical database supports the evaluation of HR master data. It includes the functions of the PNP logical database and offers additional evaluation options. Therefore, you should use the PNPCE logical database instead of the PNP logical database for all new developments.
The enhanced functionality of PNPCE in comparison to PNP essentially concerns the evaluation of Concurrent Employment, that is the possibility to group evaluate several assignments/personnel numbers of a person. The new events 'GET PERSON' and 'GET GROUP' as well as an enhanced syntax for the INFOTYPES statement (addition AS PERSON TABLE) for the procurement of infotype data enable you to use the new functionality. The use of these new functions is optional. You can run a PNPCE report that does not use the new events and the addition for the INFOTYPES statement in a PNP-compatible session. Since the PNPCE also has an improved selection screen, each report benefits from this even if the report does not use the functions for evaluating Concurrent Employment.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Chandra Sekhar
