I am not sure that there exists something in SAP HR in pure form which supports your use case. But you can handle the scenario as mentioned by you by making some changes here and there.There exists an infotype ‘Contracts’ with SAP HR which stores the type of employment of the employee like permanent or contract. You can take care of this type by flipping the status of the employee type by some third party service.  Once the employee resigns then rehire him as a contractor but create a dummy pay roll so that it does not gets picked up ...

As you said you are using the hot folder concept, you need to ensure that the proper threads are being used at every moment for any operation.By default, the number of threads used for import is one. To be more technical, impex.import.workers thread is one if not set explicitly. Since in your case the file is big, make sure that you exploit all the available cores to the fullest. It is highly recommended that maximum threads at any point of time should not be more than twice the number of cores. For optimal working, you may need to work out ... Read More

Basically Infostore refers to the metadata about Objects and in BO terms – infoobject. An infoobject is basically an entity in SAP business Object universe. It can be a report or a user or an event as well.For E.g.: if we are speaking about an employee so an employee has a metadata like Name, Department, Designation, Salary and others. Infostore lists out this metadata when the context in Employee. So when you execute a GET request for getting infostore it returned you the metadata for an info object.

The logic is pretty simple. You can define a local variable which is used for storing the total sum of all the groups. When you are performing iteration for each group, you can add the sum at the group level to the local variable.I am not suggesting code as it is very basic and straightforward.

Yes, there exists an equivalent. You can go for using SAP HANA Smart Data Integration also known as SDI. It is a standard offering of SAP for data integration.  You don’t require any additional infrastructure for this, like a separate server or other. There are lots of blogs and online help which can help you to start on SDI.You can also check out for Data services but that is too complex and may be excessive for the mentioned usage.

Yes, the PBO-PAI triggers commit so your requirement will fail. You need to make changes to your current implementation to avoid the auto-commit.

As you had already mentioned that extended services are natively integrated with HANA, so it’s going to be easier to use against HANA but as it is native to HANA only it can’t be used elsewhere.  It will be faster when you compare it against ODBC because the extra step will be avoided here as it is native to HANA. Also, as it is integrated other factors like latency and other would be out of question which can be considerable factors with ODBC.Extended Services follow the MVC architecture so you need not worry about the implementation style as it will ...

You are making a basic mistake over here. A VORA virtual table does not support the traditional INSERT or UPDATE or DELETE statements. If you are planning to make any modification to data from VORA itself, then you need to use the APPEND command to add data or files to the table. But since you are trying from SAP HANA even this will not work for you. For your requirement, you need to have a HDFS file then use it for appending to the virtual table.

I have gone through your code and it looks your list binding is incorrect. When you bind your data, your data should be in a JSON array format.  Please find below the updated working code.Examplevar oModelData = [   {Animal: "Kangaroo", Zoo: "Sydney"},   {Animal: "Tiger", Zoo: "Melbourne"},   {Animal: "Lion", Zoo: "Alaska"} ]; var oItem = new sap.m.StandardListItem({    title : "{ Animal }",    description : "{ Zoo }" }); var oList = new sap.m.List({    headerText:" Items",    items: {         path: "/",         template: oItem     } });Hope it helps!

As you need to make some changes to happen when an activity gets completed in SAP, I would suggest you to go for services. Services are the best way to communicate when you are dealing with two discrete systems.Firstly you need to create a program on SAP side which can do the following task             Fetch the file from a specified directoryConverts the file into a formatted data or send the data to a serverAt the webserver end, have a listener which receives POST requests (send by SAP). You need to have proper authentication set up ... Read More
