Workforce Initalization in 11.1.2.2

Hello Experts,
This many sound a bit odd, but I am not able to locate initalize workforce option in planning in 11.1.2.2.
Can anyone help me with it?
It is not where we find in 11.1.2.1 i.e. in Admin->Initilize Workforce.
Sandy

Hi,
Use admin login.
One can find this option in Administration->Application->Manage Application.
Then select the required application from the application list.
Later click on Action-> Initialization.
Select which module you need to initialize.
And click OK.
Hope this helps.
Regards
-SM

  • Error while deploying Capex Application Workforce

    Error while Loading members for Dimension: Account
    used parser is :class org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserImpl ---------- (What does this line mean, unable to correlate any functional setup for this)
    Kindly help me in this regard.
    Regards,
    Uday

    For the classic app where Capex is failing, options to try:
    * Creating the classic app without the wf/capex plan types first. i.e. do not select plan type wf and capex when you create the app in Planning Administration. After the app is successfully created with the basic plan types( Plan 1, 2 and /or 3), log into the app in workspace and initialize WF an Capex from within the app. The options show up in one of the menus as ‘Initialize Capex’ and ‘Initialize Workforce’ and will disappear after you initialize.
    * If this is the route that you took already, did you add any custom dimensions to the app? If so, you may have to add a ‘No DmensionName’ member for those custom dimensions. For example, if you created an additional dimension named ‘Project’, make sure you create a ‘No Project’ member under that dimension as the member formulas that come with WF/Capex look for such members for each dimension.
    Hope that helps.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

    Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

    Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
    Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
    The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
    Do one of the following:
    USB
    Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
    Wireless
    Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
    Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
    Ethernet
    Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
    Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
    Do one of the following:
    If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
    Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
    Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
    For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ.

  • EPSON Workforce 310 "scanner reported an error" when using document feeder

    I'm having trouble using my EPSON Workforce 310 printer/scanner with my new MacBook Pro (late 2012, 2.5 GHz i5, OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2).
    Using the flatbed I can scan without a problem. But when I try to use the document feeder, I get the following error right after I click Scan and before the scanner has done anything (at least I don't hear anything moving inside the EPSON):
         Scanner reported an error
         An error occured during scanning
    The EPSON's display doesn't show any error or special message.
    This is repeated whether I use Image Capture, Preview's Import from Scanner, or the printer's native app (PrinterProxy, the one that shows up in the doc whenever the printer is printing or scanning).
    I have no problem doing the scanning from my old iMac (2006, 2GHz Core Duo, Snow Leopard). After scanning to the MacBook fails I can walk over to the iMac and scan from there without problem and without resetting anything on the EPSON.
    The EPSON is connected the home network via ethernet to a Time Capsule. Both computers are connected to the network via WiFi.

    Syd,
    My wife's iMac with 10.6.6 stopped working with her Epson 2480 Photo scanner. Get the error message "SCANNER reported an error. An error has occurred during scanning" I am trying to use it from the Image Capture App or from the print/fax option in Settings which opens Image Capture. I ran the uninstall program and then reinstalled the ICA 13969 .dmg but get the same error. Not sure what else I can do.

  • 11.1.2 - Workforce and CAPEX issue - Add New Hires and Add New Asset Rules

    Hi All,
    We are working on Oracle Fusion 11.1.2 and are using the out of box functionality for Workforce and CAPEX.
    We are facing a weird issue in case of the above Modules when we try to Add a new Hire or a new Asset in the respective modules using the Add TBH Hourly , Add TBH Salary and Add Asset rules.
    The Issue is sometimes the correct number of New Hires or Assets is added as specified in the prompt. For instance, if specify Number of New Hires as 5, then 5 rows of TBH are added on the web form dynamically with other employee properties populated on the form as mentioned in the prompt. However, at times this does not happen, so if I specify 5, 4 rows are added, if I specify 15, 7 rows are added and so on.
    The out of box rule looks okay, we are not sure why this should happen?
    Has anyone of you faced a similar issue, It would be really helpful if you can share your thoughts.
    Thanks a ton in advance.
    Madhavi

    Have you try to check the related Business Rule? In older version Add TBH menu related to a Business Rule. Never configure this module on 11.1.2 but maybe the add tbh menu related to a Business Rule or Script on Calculation Manger

  • Report generation issue for headcount/workforce

    Hi,
    I have succesfully deployed my capex, workforce, and C/F application. I was wondering if someone could help me with the creation of a head count report based on this data where I could see the Dept Code, Name, Salary in a report. I have gone through the process of creating a report in Dataform with the dimensions but I am unable to see all the dimensions listed. I do have access to both smart view + financial reporting studio.
    Thanks

    Nvm, solved it just had to set up Reporting studio in order to create an accurate report.

  • How do I print in draft mode on Epson Workforce 3540

    I just bought and set up an Epson Workforce all in one printer.  Everything is working fine, except that I can't get it to print in draft mode.
    I've tried a few different applications and all are the same.  When I go to print, I get a window that includes a print quality slider at the bottom that includes three settings: draft, normal, and best.  The word "draft" is grayed-out.  If I try to drag the slider to it, it snaps back to normal in the middle.
    I looked in the printer's manual, and it says draft mode can only be selected with "plain paper" selected.  But, even when I have plain paper selected, I cannot choose draft quality.  In fact, it seems no matter what I try I cannot choose draft quality.
    The printer's owner's manual, it also shows some printer dialog windows that I don't get (I think I did get them with the Epson I just replaced, though).
    Can anyone tell me how I can select draft print quality, and why I'm having so many problems doing so?  Maybe it's to be expected that the Epson isn't letting me select the print mode quality that would save me the most ink.
    I'm attaching a screen capture of what I see when I try to print.  It is the first image.
    I'm also attaching a couple of screen captures from the printer's owner's manual section on Mac printing.  These are the printer dialog windows I don't see when I try to print.
    What I see when I try to print (note that "Draft" is grayed-out on the quality slider):
    These are what the printer's manual seems to suggest I should see (and what I think I did see with my last Epson printer that I just replaced):
    And:

    Based on your screen captures I believe you may have selected Apple's AirPrint driver rather than the Epson driver. This can happen if you add the printer by selecting it from the small pop-up window that appears with a heading of Nearby Printers after you click the plus button in the Print & Scan preference pane.
    To confirm which printer driver you are using, open the Print & Scan preference pane and select the Epson in the Printers colum. The right pane will give some details about the printer. If there is mention of AirPrint in the printer Name or Kind, then this will be the issue. The fix would be to remove this printer from Print & Scan and add again. But this time, don't select the Epson from the Nearby Printers pop-up. Instead, click on Add Printer Or Scanner from this pop-up window and from the next Default Add printer window, select the Epson in the list and ensure you select the Epson driver in the Use menu rather than the AirPrint driver.

  • Getting Error while deploying application in Planning Workforce

    Hi,
    While deploying a sample planning application through BPMA i am getting this error.
    The error message is saying “You must select the Valid for Wrkforce application property before redeploying the Application View”.
    Any ideas about what might be going wrong?
    Moreover, I am having this concept that this is only a “general planning” application view. This application view is not meant to be enabled with Workforce.
    Please share your knowledge about this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Uday

    Check all the dimensions to see if any one of them is enabled for WF. Also, please paste the exact error message that you receive. Have you deployed this app before?

    Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.

  • Can't scan from epson workforce 845

    I can't scan documents from my epson workforce 845 printer.  I use a wireless home network to connect to printer.  Printing works fine, but epson software shows communication error when I try to scan. 

    Scanning drivers over wireless typically aren't as good as printer drivers themselves.   Try hooking it up directly via USB and see if it works that way.  Have a look at my FAQ* to see if any open source drivers might work better.

  • Epson Workforce 500 and HP  OfficeJet Pro 8500 - "Printer Offline"

    This week I downloaded an Epson printer driver update from Apple's Software Update. I use an Epson Workforce 500 with my Mac Mini computer at my office. Since installing Snow Leopard originally I had experienced no problems with the printer but assumed that if Apple was telling me to install a driver update, I should do so. Big mistake!
    After installing the driver update I was unable to print anything. When attempting to print a page from Safari or MIcrosoft Word, everything initially seemed ok, until I saw my printer icon bouncing in the Dock with a yellow symbol indicating "Printer Offline." After searching the Apple site and various discussion boards I spent an entire afternoon attempting all of the recommended fixes with no results. Since I cannot operate my business without a printer, I decided to simply purchase a new printer hoping that this was simply an Epson problem.
    I am now the proud owner of an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One. Unfortunately I am still suffering from the "Printer Offline" message whenever I attempt to print anything. After spending another afternoon on the phone with a tech support person from HP, I am still unable to print. I have done all of the following:
    Disconnected and reconnected all cables between the computer and the printer.
    Switched the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
    Restarted the computer and the printer.
    Unplugged and replugged the computer to reset it.
    Checked to confirm that the printer does show up under USB on the System Profiler.
    Deleted any old print jobs in the print queue and made certain that the printer was not in pause mode.
    Tried to print from various programs with the same result.
    Although this printer does appear in the printer list, deleted it and then added it again under the Printer and Fax area of System Preferences.
    Uninstalled the HP printer driver, restarted the computer, downloaded HP's latest driver for this computer from their website under the instruction of HP's tech support person and reinstalled this driver and again performing all of the above.
    Repaired disk permissions several times.
    Reset the printing system under the Printer and Fax area of System Preferences.
    I have been unable to find any further possible fixes in any of the discussion boards either on the Apple or the HP site. After doing everything listed here the HP tech support person felt that the problem must be with Apple rather than HP since the problem developed initially after the Epson printer update and then occurred with both the Epson and the HP printers.
    I have an appointment later today with an Apple Genius at my local Apple store to see if I can get any advice. Any suggestions from anyone on this board would be greatly appreciated since I do need my printer to carry on in my business. At this point I am desperate to the point of considering the replacement of my computer but am hesitant to do so suspecting that the new models should be released soon.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try downloading and installing the 10.6.1 combo update. It's OK to do this even though you are already running 10.6.1. One of the "fixes" .. "some printer compatibility drivers not appearing properly in the add printer browser"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL930
    Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Always make sure your Mac has sufficient disk space available.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • How do you get Workforce 840 to print two-sided

    I can't figure out how to get my new Epson Workforce 840 to print two-sided (iMac running Mac OS 10.7.2).  From MS Word the two-sided option (in Layout) is grayed out.  In Mail and other Apple applications the Preset for two-sided printing is off and I can't figure out how to turn it on.  The two-sided print function works as expected when I print from Windows 7 software (Bootcamp) or if I use the LCD controls on the printer to have copies printed two-sided.  Probably something obvious, but I'm a newbie to the Mac world, would appreciate some help.  Thanks.

    I am not sure if it is still valid for OS X 10.7, but check the User Guide.  Go to Output Settings
    Then make your choces:
    All instructions and images are from the online Users Guide on the Epson US website.
