Can You Turn Off E-Mail Verification?

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We have activated business function HCM_ERC_CI_4 and have hidden the User field so that external candidate's e-mail address is used as the Alias.  Also, we have the e-mail verification process working.  However, we may want to stop doing this verification.  The SAP release notes for EhP5 states the following on page 51, "Once the business function is activated, unregistered candidates have to confirm their e-mail address before they can register their details in the Talent Warehouse."   On the other hand, there is the customizing activity that activates the email verification process which is RECFA VERIF = X.

So here is my question.  Is it OK to set RECFA VERIF a blank to deactivate e-mail verification and continue to use the external candidate's e-mail address as their Alias?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Nicole,

I just set the T77S0 switch RECFA VERIF to spaces.  When I now go to the candidate registration screen the username field is there.  However, in customizing activity "Assign Values To Interface Parameters" PROVIDE_UNAME_FIELD is set to N.  Can you not hide the username field and use the email address as the user id without email verification?

Hi John,

That's parameter is just considered if you use the verification process.

So you can't hide the user field but you still can use the email address as user.

Hi Nicole,

I am a little confused.  My original question was: Is it OK to set RECFA VERIF a blank to deactivate e-mail verification and continue to use the external candidate's e-mail address as their Alias?

However, it sounds like if we turn off verification then we are forced to have the username field on the registration screen and it is a required field.  Therefore, I do not understand what you mean by "you can still use the email address as user" unless you mean that the candidate can enter their email address in the username field.

We were hoping we could turn off verification, continue to hide the username field, and use email address as the candidates user.

Thanks for your help.

Hi John,

Yes, that's what I meant -> only the user can type in the email address as user field but the field itself will be shown.

You would need to enhance that in HRRCF_C_UNREG_APPLWZD_UI => VW_REGISTER => WDDOMODIFYVIEW. The attribute wd_comp_controller->gv_usernamefield_available will be filled in this method, so you could include an individual check outside of:

    if wd_comp_controller->gv_verif_process_is_active eq abap_true

Additionally, the check in method REGISTER has to be changed too:

        if wd_this->gv_verif_process_is_active eq abap_true and
         wd_this->gv_usernamefield_available eq abap_false.

(eg. by replacing AND operator with OR).

Hi John,

Out of curiosity, do you have an alternative verification process or have just decided to forego any verification at all?

Hello Richard,

We do not pan to use any verification at this time.

Hi John,

Yes, you can do that. It is your decision if you want to use the verification process or not. For that we provided the T77S0 switch RECFA VERIF so that every customer can set that individually.

Best regards,

Nicole
