HR Support Pack Schemas
Changes to standard payroll Schemas, Functions, Rules and Operations are delivered in SAP support packs. LiveCompare converts SAP payroll types to LiveCompare types. The following are some examples:
-
SAP Schema = PSCC, LiveCompare = HRSC
-
SAP Function = PFCS, LiveCompare = HRFU
-
SAP Rule = PCYC, LiveCompare = HRRU
-
SAP Operation = POCS, LiveCompare = HROP
The purpose of the HR Support Pack Schemas workflow is to provide the paths from the changing objects to all top-level schemas impacted by those changes. The results are used to generate an Excel report which has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The type of an object from the analyzed HR Support Pack or transport. |
| Name | The name of the object. |
| Parent Type | The type of an object that uses the HR Support pack or transport object. |
| Parent Name | The search depth at which the object was found. |
| Depth | The search depth at which the object was found. |
| Transport | The name the HR Support Pack or transport that contains the analyzed object. |
| Description | The description of the found object. |
If a support pack has not been applied to the Source SAP system, it must be disassembled before it can be analyzed using the HR Support Pack Schemas workflow. This can be done by running transaction SAINT and selecting ‘Disassemble OCS Package’ from the ‘Utilities’ menu. Alternatively, it may be disassembled using the Package Disassembler App.
Creating RFC Destinations
Before you begin, you will need to create an RFC Destination for the SAP system you wish to analyze.
Preparing the Workflow
To prepare the HR Support Pack Schemas workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, and modify the workflow as follows:
To specify the system to analyze:
-
Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.
-
Select the RFC Destination for the system to analyze, then click ‘Save’.
To specify which Support Packs to analyze:
-
Select the Transport Selections parameter and choose ‘Edit Table’ from its context menu to display the Table Editor dialog.
-
The table has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| SELNAME | This column should be set to SPPK. |
| KIND | KIND This column should be set to S. |
| SIGN | If this column is set to ‘I’ the transport specification will be included in the analysis. If the column is set to ‘E’, the transport specification will be excluded. The ‘E’ option should only be used if the table also has a row which uses the ‘I’ option. |
| OPTION | The comparison operator to use: One of EQ, GT, GE, LT, LE, BT or CP. See the Select List Parameters help topic for details. |
| LOW | The 'low' comparison value. |
| HIGH | If the BT (Between) operator is used, this column refers to the ‘high’ comparison value. |
-
Modify the table so that it contains specifications for the Support Packs to be analyzed, then click ‘Save’.
Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.
Running the Workflow
To run the HR Support Pack Schemas workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the Report URL dataset and choose 'View Details' from the context menu to access the generated report.
