E-Rec: Preferences tab on RoadMap

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We are on EhP5. E-Rec and ECC are on different boxes. When I use the second link (sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_ext?sap-client=100&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=0002) from the report RCF_Generate_URL which is for External Candidate Start page and click on the Candidate Profile link, I am presented with the old kind of tabs for Candidate Profile:

   Candidate Profile    1  Work Experience  2  Education  3  Qualifications  4  Attachments  5  Desired Job  6  Desired Work Location  7  Data Overview  8  Profile Release 

This is not a Road Map, just a series of tabs. Also, preferences tab is also not available as it should. I am not sure what is missing. Can anyone please help? We are just setting up our system, so some basic settings may have been missed which I am not sure of.

Please advice and guide.

Regards,

Hi,

the reports RCF_GENERATE_URL and RCF_GENERATE_URLS were used for the BSP UI. While it is still possible to use the BSP applications for the external and internal candidate view there has not been any development for them since the introduction of the web dynpro UI for candidates. Furthermore since EhP 4 the recruiter and recruiting administrator only web dynpro is supported so from the overall maintenance aspect you should use web dynpro for all functional roles.

To get the links for the candidate web dynpro applications you simply grab the link from SE80 instead of running a report. The candidate web dynpro applications can be found in package POAC_RCF_UI_SELF_SERVICES. The name of the application for the external startpage is hrrcf_a_startpage_ext_cand. If necessary you can add the URL parameters sap-client and sap-language to define logon client and logon language.

Kind Regards

Hello Roman,

Thanks. I understand that I now need to use the URLs available for WebDynpro going into SE80 and looking at the webdynpro applications available under package PAOC_RCF_UI_SELF_SERVICES.

Now, if I try to register using the URL available for hrrcf_a_reg_applwizard_ext, after I enter all the details and click on Register button, nothing happens.

Can you please guide further?

Hi,

directly using the URL for the application wizard won't work. The web dynpro applicaion requires a publication GUID encoded in the URL as parameter. Only if the application is called via unregistered search, registered search or reference code search the parameter is supplied. You should find a log entry in the application log (SLG1) which states this.

If you want to create an external candidate to test the external startpage you can either start from the unregistered search and register while applying, use the registration application (hrrcf_a_candidate_registration) or use the manual entry of an external application as recruiter. Of course the first and second require the correct setup of ICF service activation, external alias definition and you have to put the service user into the external aliases.

Kind Regards

Hello Roman,

Using the URL for WebDynpro Application - hrrcf_a_candidate_registration, registration page is presented with Name and User data fields. When I fill all the details and click on Register button, nothing happens.

In the SAP system, we have created a unreg_user service user with following roles:

SAP_RCF_UNREG_CANDIDATE_CLIENT

SAP_RCF_UNREGISTERED_CANDIDATE

Assigned this user in SICF: to /default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrrcf_a_candidate_registration

ICF services are also activated. Is there anything else I need to config or setup as registration dosent works?
