XRPM to BW

Hello,
My BW team was able to extract data from xRPM to BW but have a problem with a missing hierarchy. They can't seem to find ITEM_HIERARCHY wich is requiered by most objects. They were able to use the hierarchy JERARQIA DE ELEMENTOS which I believe is the local SAP translation for the ITEM_HIERARCHY but all elements in this hierarchy appear as not assigned.
Please help,
Henry

Resource planning in cprojects with xRPM or MRS?

Dear Experts,
To my understanding there are four options to perform resource planning in combination with cprojects:
1.     Do a planning in cprojects only
2.     Use resource planning application (RPA) from SAP CRM
3.     Schedule resources with xRPM
4.     Schedule resources with SAP MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling)
I have a couple of questions:
(a) Is it correct that I cannot assign resources to project roles in xRPM based on qualification matching? Is it right that xRPM is used rather for a long-term view to define the available capacity of projects/roles than assigning specific resources to roles?
(b) How can help SAP MRS in comparison to option 1 (planning in cprojects)? I assume that I can do also in cprojects itself a qualification matching. MRS provides a more detailed qualification object to cover complex requirements, right? What else provides MRS what cannot be managed in cprojects itself?
(c ) If we want to use a staffing process were project lead and resource manager doing the staffing and have the option to suggest or reject roles, we have the option to use xRPM or MRS, right? What are the differences? In MRS we have options like using several resource managers, softbooking/hardbooking or itu2019s possible to define the workflow who proposes resources and who is doing the final staffing (project lead or staffing manager), reasons for rejections can be configured etc. Are these options in xRPM available as well?
Thanks,
Angie

Hi Angie,
I have not implemented MRS or RPA so can only answer your first question. You cannot do a resource search via qualification in Portfolio Management (aka xRPM), typically you would do this in Project Management (aka cProjects) and this functionality works fine provided you have maintained qualification data for BP's and roles. Portfolio Management financial planning function can be used for a long term view as you have mentioned. However, it is also typically used to summarize and/or roll up resource demand / assignment to a bucket or portfolio level or summarize resources for multiple projects via initiatives or collections. You can also use a top down approach and at a high level plan values at the bucket level (i.e. forecasted demand or business case demand) and compare against detailed planned / assigned demand rolled up from project management.
Hope this helps.

Lashan

Runtime Error in enhanced DPR_Approval form in xRPM 4.5

Hi ,
I'm working on an enhancement for the DPR approval Adobe Form to display phases and tasks in a Project.
I have created a form based on the standard DPR_ARPPOVAL form and did the configuration on the SPRO.
Everything is mapped correctly but when I run the approval for a Phase on Project Management, I get the folllowing run-time error
I have checked the table mentioned in the error and the type exists. I have no clue how to fix this. I also checked the OSS notes but nothing helped.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this.

Found the Solution. Add the reference fields for currency and quantity fields used in the Interface.
This should resolve the issue

Long times charging xRPM Dashboard

Hi,
We have noticed that times charching xRPM Dashboard are increasing while more projects are created. Is there any way to avoid this problem?
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

hello Camilo Uribe,
1. you should take a look at the columns available in the dashboard (xRPM backend configuration). in general it is good to keep this number low. hence you should analyze which fields are necessary from business point of view
2. through the status group you can define which portfolio items are considered as active. you can reduce the runtime for the active tab, if you exclude 'old' (i.e. non-active) projects
4. as far as I recall there is also a global switch to limit the number of portfolio items loaded initially
transaction is SPRO
IMG path
SAP xApp Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP xRPM) -> Global Customizing ->
for point 1 go to
Global Field Settings -> Define Fields for Dashboards
the number of fields for the object type should be low 15 to 20 would be good number.
for point 2 Go to
Portfolio-Independent Settings -> Define Portfolio Item Types
select the item Type and go to node 'Item Status' if the Item Status' status group is 'Canceled' or 'Closed' or 'Rejected' the Item is inactive Item. Item in status other than these status group is active item item.
for Point 3 Go to
Global Settings -> Override Default Global Settings
Add following entry
Area = 0007
Name = 0004
Settings Value = <number of items to be displayed on dashboard> recommended number 100.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks and Regards,

How to automate the employees info. from R/3 to xRPM for object type P

We need to automate the employees information (new/change) whose object type (P) from R/3 system to xRPM system (CProject component).
We did ALE distribution model with the message type (HRMD_ABA) and able to achieved distribution(R/3 -> xRPM) thru manual step using PFAL transaction. I have no issues on this part.
Now we want to automate the same process to distribution(R/3 -> xRPM) that whenever employees have been created/change in R/3.
By using standard program RBDIDOC which can be achieve by defining background job with message type HRMD_ABA. But it pulls all the object types for the given message type at selection screen. But i am interested only employees with object type P.
There is no much provision existed to restrict only for employees with object type (P).
Systems Release version details:
Source(R/3 system version): SAP R/3 Enterprise
Target(xRPM: SAP ECC 6.0 with HR component: 6.00)
Any help would be appreciated...

PI 7.1 and xRPM 4.5: compatible?

Hi,
We are rolling out xRPM 4.5 and its documentation for PI compatibility only states XI 7.0.
We also have an XI now PI 7.1 server already up and want to use it as the PI server for the xRPM 4.5 server.
Is it possible? Will it work? Any notes, documents, links to get a definite answer?
Thank you.

Hi,
You can definately use the PI7.1 server for xRPM without failure..
PI7.1 server advaced upgradation on PI7.0/ XI 7.0 and it is compatible. I am not sure if any help doc will be available but you may refer the PI 7.0 related documentation

Using Java Webservices provided by xRPM 4.0 in PPM 5.0

Hi,
We have developed some custom WD ABAP applications in PPM 4.5 which were using Java webservices provided by xRPM 4.0 to get the UI context.
The details are provided in the document
https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000315412008E/How_to_xRPM_custom_iView.pdf
We have upgraded to PPM 5.0 and the custom webDynpro application is not able to fetch the UI context and get the portfolio GUID. I have verified that the RFC destination and Logical port required to call Java webservices is maintained as mentioned in the above document.
Are these SAP standard Java webservices available for use in PPM 5.0 ? Please let me know if we need to change the custom code to fetch the UI context in PPM 5.0
Thanks,
Yomesh

Thanks Amit for the confirmation. I am following SAP Note 0001399319 which mentions about how to develop for custom WD ABAP applications in PPM 5.0.
The example WDA component mentioned in the note is /RPM/CUSTOM_COMPONENT. I am developed a custom WD ABAP application in lines with the SAP note and still not able to get the GUID in the context.
The code written in WDDOINIT of these applications is as below,
instantiate session state class
    wd_this->mr_session_state = cl_inm_session_state=>get_instance( ).
Obtain current context from session state.
    CALL METHOD wd_this->mr_session_state->get_current_context
      IMPORTING
        es_context = wd_this->ms_context.
I am getting null in ms_context.
Please let me know if you have tried to implement an custom WDA application in PPM 5.0. Not sure what am I missing in the above scenario.
Thanks,
Yomesh

Error connecting using JCO.Client: null in xRPM in EP

Hi Friends,
I am getting the following error in xRPM through EP
"Error connecting using JCO.Client: null"
I can't enter xRPM, but I can enter other Business packages iViews.
The problem is intermittant and user specific.
Can you pls provide any input on this ?
thanks in advance and warm regards
Purnendu

Hi Flavio,
Thanks for your reply.
The user is created both in the backend as well as in portal.
The roles are also ok.
The error I am getting only while accessing xRPM iViews.
If I restart the instance the error is removed. But it reappears again may be after few days.
This error is intermittant.
May be it is related to the Maximum Number of JCo connections in the WebDynpro configuration.
But I don't have much idea on that.
Can you pls provide any help on this.
Warm regards

We are planning to go for SAP Netweaver CE 7.1.
(Usage Type : Web As for Java, EP Core & EP)
CE 7.1 is a separate product, you can´t install EP (core) on top of it. If you want to run a portal you need to install Netweaver 7.0.
Kindly route me to some SAP Notes/Docs/Links for Prerequisites/Installation notes/Constraints and provide me
the Latest Versions available of OS: AIX,DB :Oracle & SAP etc..
I´d start with the official installation guides:
http://service.sap.com/instguides
--> SAP NetWeaver
--> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s)
--> Installation
Media List for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3
and
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 - Installation Guides
What are all the issues I might face at the time of Installation?
Do I need any Oracle Patch?Do I need any OS Level Patch?
Read the installation guides, everything is documented there. It will point you to notes and additional documentation.

Hi Runal,
I think, the reason is that the status is not attribute of the project, rather a linked object. That is why the Badi method is not get called.
Please check with the Badi DRP_EVENTS, this Badi is typically called, if the status of object is changed.
Kind regards,
