Workforce Planning through Portal

Hi All,
Please help me out with the issue mentioned below,
Users are accessing SAP through a portal and most of the project activities done by the Managers is through portal only. Managers are using the transaction CMP2 for workforce planning but off late we are facing a typical issue here. I would also like to bring into light that this is happening only after application of some new HR module patches. Prior to this the system was working fine.
When we try to assign a resource after selecting an activity in CMP2 transaction system pops up an information message in the portal as "First select an activity". We are not able to figure out as to why this information message is popping up even after selecting the activity. Request you to help out in this as this is hampering the process since managers are not able to assign the resources to the respective activities.

No replies. So closing the thread.

DMS Document access through Portal

Hi Sap Gurus,
we are in the process of integrating SAP DMS with Enterprise portal 6.5, and SAP DMS on 6.0 SP 12, ie the latest Version,
when we try to access or view the documents in Portal, we could only see those which have been maintained through Easy DMS, ie.. the folders and documents created in EDMS only is visible
The Documents which are created in normal DMS, ie the document types and all the documents are not visible in Portal view. any one who have seen or managed DMS through Portal let me know can we see all the documents through Portal or only those maintained in Easy DMS,
can we avail all the funtionality in Portal to manage the documents just like we do in DMS. what are its limitation.
Pointa awaiting
Thanks and regards
Priya S

Hi,
The Kpro Tick is been given to all the document types i have configured,
i dont know if i have to enable any other KPRO feature apart from this,
if any one have made DMS and Portal integration, please let me know is Portal access is only for Document maintained by Easy DMS, or it is for all the documents of DMS, (is there any note to be implemented to avail this feature)
also we are planning to have Trex search engine for Portal file search, can this same Trex be used be for searching files inside DMS also.
Points eagerly awaiting.
Regards

Workforce Planning for Partially Confirmed Activities

Hi All,
I have recently configured Workforce planning for one of the clients, and it has been working as per the requirement. Here, I have configured Workforce Planning profile and Scheduling parameters of Network. So, once a Project and a Network is created, User plans Personnel for this Network's activity using CMP2. Also, CATS profile is maintained in such a way that Worklist shows the Planned hours and accordingly a person can book Time against it.
Now, the problem arises after a Personnel assigned to an activity books the Timesheet. Once a Person books time against this particular Activity, it gets disappeared from CMP2 screen. Now, practical implications are that, suppose that person goes for a leave or leaves the organization and PM wants to assign another person for the same Activity (which is partially confirmed).
How can we address this issue - to perform workforce planning for Partially Confirmed activities?
Any pointers to User Exits, BADIs, BAPIs or SAP Notes are highly appreciated.

Hi Sanjeev,
Thanks for your feedback.
In CMP2, we are already checking the activity work hours. According to that only we are adding resource, then checking that resource's availability and then assigning work.
As an example, activity work duration is from 20.08.2014 to 30.09.2014. I assigned a resource A from 20.08.2014 to 30.09.2014 for 8 hours because he is available in that duration.
Now, the real problem comes when this resource is suddenly unavailable (due to any reason) and PM comes to know about this on 07.09.2014. Resource A has already booked Timesheet for the duration he has worked (20.08 to 06.09). So activity is PCNF.
So PM wants to reduce the Work assignment for Resource A from 30.09.2014 to 06.09.2014 and assign Resource B from 07.09.2014 to 30.09.2014, but he is unable to get this activity in CMP2 view because it is PCNF. Here PM can only see activities of same project which are in REL status.
So how can I enable this PCNF activity in CMP2 view.
If there is any IMG activity settings, then let me know.
If this is standard behavior and can be done through User Exit/BADI/BAPI then also let me know.

Need Guideline in Workforce Planning

Hello All,
I am working on project, where I have to create data forms in workforce planning. I also am reading Oracle Hyperion workforce planning Administrator Guide. My question is can some one help or guide me to create my plan types?
I can create dimensions by Navigating > Administration > Dimensions > Add Dimensions
I can create Data Forms by Navigating > Administration > Managing Data Forms > Create
I have confusion about under given questions....
1- As I know there are pre-build data forms ..so how can we modify and use them for loading data? I can understand we can load data by DIM or Outline load Utility but how can we load data manually?
2- What is relationship between Dimension and Data Forms which I have mentioned up there? If I create Dimensions then we can work or Data Forms or is there any other philosophy?
3- How to increase rows, and columns in those data forms and what will be the Fields for HR?
I have been told to create two dimensions i.e. Employees and Positions. I can create those Dimensions as I mentioned above steps but what kind of parents and child i need to put and how can i load those dimensions in to Workforce Data Forms.
I hope to hear positive reply..
Thank you very much in Advance for helping me to understand this workforce.....I am really new in to workforce please help...

TableView LINEEDIT works differently when viewed through Portal

I have a simple table with a few columns of data that I display and allow the user to change a row using the selectionMode = "lineedit". The columns are all controlled using htmlb tableViewColumns.
When I test my application from the WebAs the table looks fine. If a user selects a row they can see the entire amount of text that appears in a column they want to change
However, when the BSP comes up in our SAP portal and the user selects a row only the first 20 (or so) characters can be seen and the user must use the arrows keys to get to the part of the text they wish to change. Is this a setting somewhere?

For the <htmlb:inputField> look at attributes maxlength, size and width.
width: Determines the text width for the input field. We recommend that you use the size attribute instead of width.
size: Determines the size of the input field.
maxLength: Maximum length of the user input.
I must admit that this documentation is not tell me enough. Will ask on Monday about this.
As for your remark "works differently when viewed through Portal": You keep in mind that once a BSP application is running with the portal, all stylesheets (*.CSS) files are loaded from the portal server, and not the webAS.
Now it could happen that you are running an EP and an older (or incompatible) patch level than your BSP stylesheets are at the moment. For EP6, starting from what I remember at SP11, there is planned a technique to install the latest stylesheets from service market place. You ask about this via OSS, queue EP-PIN-?-STY (something like this).

Oracle Financial Analyzer through Portal

Does anyone currently display OFA generated reports through Portal. Alternatively does anyone link to OFA from Portal?
Ideally I'm looking to create a report in OFA and publish it in static form in Portal.

Hi,
OFA: How is it related to DW. Is it an OLAP tool? if yes How is it different from Express Objects and why two tools like OFA and Oracle Express Analyser/Objects?
DW usually refers to a larger enterprise solution including multiple solution areas of data consolidated. OFA is an OLAP tool which typically only focuses on one or a few solution areas, such as Finance or Human Resources. OFA is a prepackaged solution much like Office productivity software, where as Express Objects is a complete development environment for OLAP applications. Express Objects is comparable to Oracle JDeveloper or IBM Eclipse, only it's for an OLAP data source (Express Server that is).
Why two tools, well some people want custom applications developed from scratch because of user requirements and data analysis needs, while others are happy with a predeveloped solution that only needs a little customization such as OFA. OFA does a great job in the Budgeting/Planning/Reporting area.

Authorization problem to execute a report through portal

Hi All,
One of user while trying to execute report through portal, getting error message saying that
"you are not authorized to execute the report XXXXXXX'
Can not load query <query name> (data provider <data provider name> No authorizations for requested service.
The report is a web template which is getting executed through portal.
User is having all the authorizations to execute the report(report autho as well as infoprovider autho also)
we have regenerated the user roles , done user comparision....every thing is OK.
Still unable to execute the report.
Please advice what can be done in this case....
Regards

Hi Shaik,
Are you able to run this report with your user id?
If so check the role or authorization objects which are missing to the user.
And also check whether he got portal roles assigned to his profile.

How to solve this issue?

Hi,
You will have to check this with the person who is upporting our portal applications. From the error description it does not look like there is any thing wrong with CATS application as such.

Unable to run a report through Portal.

Hi All,
I am not able to run a particular BEX report through portal.
I get a white screen and no pop-up for selections and later nothing happens.
I have checked my Roles but no changes has been made.
My other colleagues are able to run the report.
Please let me know what could be the possible reason/solution for such an issue.

are different roles assigned?
i.e., for you and for your colleagues. Please try login with your id in their PCs and vice versa.
let check the compatibility. if you are failed to execute in that PCs also, then it should be authorization issue. Ask your basis folks to add that particular info area and info cubes to your role.
Hope this would give you clear pic.

Issues while running a WebDynpro Application through portal.

Hi,
I am trying to execute a webdynpro application through portal and facing some issues. I hope to get a significant help from the experts:
> Initially, a report is called from the portal which in turns calls the WebDynpro Application.
> After this, I am again trigerring "FIRE" event in order to go back to report.
At this step, portal shows a message "The Page Can Not be Displayed". Browser link field contains the event name which I am passing to the Fire Event.
Can anybody let me know the root cause for this issue? Below is the piece of code that I am using for navigating from Webdynpro to Report.
        l_sapgui_manager->fire(
          EXPORTING
            name = 'INDI'
        parameters = lt_parameters ).
lt_parameters contains some field values which are required in the report.
Thanks,
Ashish
