SAP deliver a really neat tool called “Manual Transport Link”. You can access it via transaction SE38 and progam name RHMOVE30.

What this program does is allowing you to capture PD/OM objects and place it in a transport you can easily release and apply to other clients / systems.

To start, let say for example you want to transport organizational structure and all positions below it. WIth that, you will start with creating 1 transport containing all O objects. Specify the O objects, all for reporting period, and add it to the transport. To specifically capture the position, specify the evaluation path in the selection paramters for it to find the position and add that to the transport.

Do some trial and error testing of this in a sandbox environment with different selection variations to see how it operate. You might find the best combination that fit your needs.

I was at a SAP implementation with the production orgranizational structure was maintained in a DEV environment during the lifecycle of the project. Using this allows you to transports exactly how production structure will look like to all your environment. Thus easily replicating conversion cycles multiple times and cutting the time out from converting OM objects. Pretty neat huh?!

The method to find this out is very easy. You would first need to activate “IMG Activity” in the Additional Information menu on the Display IMG

Using the information displayed (as shown above) from activating the additional information of IMG activity, you can use SE16 or SE16N and query off a table CUS_IMGACH

When you query the CUS_IMGACT table using the IMG Activity name, one of the return value from that table is Transaction Code found under the TCODE field.

Now you can either type in the transaction code each time you would like to visit that node or easily add it to your favorite to be used. Cool stuff huh!

What was useful is the fact SAP offer a really nice tool to handle that. The transaction code is “PFAL” – HR ALE Distribution of HR Master Data. This program relies on the ALE Message Type structure, but is able to send HR data from one systems to another. You could use one of the standard deliver message type, such as the HRMD_A or HRMD_B or even HRMD_ABA (this one is recommended if you use Management Global Employee functionality in HR).

If you dont need all of the infotype provided in the message type, you could create a reduced message type of it and call that. One the functionality, when passing HR data, you could have it go by evaluation path, which allows it to also take relationship on the OM side as well. It will pull the object, create the object, and their related data.

Bare in mind since this require some ALE distribution, you will need to involve the SAP Basis team to help you setup the message type and the RFC connection.

Either case, it beat writting a new ABAP program to extract and load through old fashion flat file.

Logic:

1) We started with the main feature “TARIF” modification through transaction code PE03 and have it call the ZFEATURE_TARIF custom program

Original Custom Code Attached:
(Due to restriction, the custom code will not be available to the public)

2) In the PA30 user exit, both in the PAI and PBO we have use the set parameter to pass us the information we need to be retrieved in this ZFEATURE_TARIF program. The main purpose of using the SET PARAMETERS route, is the fact out of the box functionality, the feature is limited to use what is defined in the feature structure. Standard program does not have certain values needed such as PERNR, Position ID, etc passed to the main TARIF feature to be used in any custom program below it. The structure TARIF used is PME01, could be look up via PE03.

Sample Set Parameter:

SET PARAMETER ID: ‘Z008′ FIELD wa_0008-begda.

3) With all of the set parameters done, we can call these parameters within the ZFEATURE_TARIF program to be used to look up data we need through ABAP statements.

Sample Get Parameter:

GET PARAMETER ID ‘Z008′ FIELD L_0008_BEGDA.

4) Once all of the logic to look up the data is done, the information is then passed back to a custom feature we could maintain via PE03 called ZTARI. In example screenshot, “FEATURE_TARIF had been defined in the DATA segment above in the program to be ZTARI

5) In the ZTARI feature, we can now proceed with using the returned value and the standard configured decision functionality of a feature to determine the final value to be passed back to the main TARIF feature. Due to the depth of the feature and feature limitation, we had it call another featured called ZTA10 for US.

• RHINTE00 – Transfer PA Records To PD Positions. In another world, it creates the HRP1001 between P to S in the OM side of the world. When you view a record via IT0001, you see this person holds the position, however via HRP1001, that relationship isn’t so.
• RHINTE10 – Generates the required relevant tables. (T513 – Jobs, T513S – Jobs, T528B – Positions, T528T – Work Center, T527X – Org Unit
• RHINTE20 – checks for all objects for integration between PA and OM. This is a big one and will take awhile to run. What it does is look at table T513/T513T – Jobs, T528/T528T – Position, and T528X – Org Unit. It will then compare it against the HRPxxxx table to find missing objects. If there are any missing objects, it will create the record.
• RHINTE30 – Transfer OM to PA. This will create infotype 0001. If the conversion strategy is to have SAP auto inherit factor to kick in for IT0001, often time jobs and org unit are missing via IT0001 during the inital conversion load. RHINTE30 will find the relationship and push it through IT0001.

After running these, don’t forget to check SM35 as some of them will create a BDC Session that needs to be executed for actual update.

You can also execute RHINTECHECK program to check for any issue on the integration side.

Usually the rule of thumbs on conversion is that you use DTT, LMSW, or even custom ABAP program to load P0000, P0001, and P0002. Once those are done, you run RHINTE00 to establish the P-S relationship on the OM side from information you’ve load via P0001. You then would run and RHINTE10 to establish the text table on the PA side for positions, org unit, and jobs. You are correct that text are stored in HRP1000, however that is where OM stores the information. PA has a few text tables storing the same information for PA usage. RHINTE10 will handle that. At the end of the process you would run RHINTE30. What this would do is re-create P0001, this time allowing standard SAP integration functionality to default in the org unit and job into the field. Since you did RHINTE00 earlier, you’ve established P to S relationship on the OM side. Not SAP knows where to find the O and C.

Of course the process above is only showing one point of view and scenario. Different implementation will have different flavor of how conversion occurs. You would have to test it out and do trial and error on finding the best solution for you.

Read the help files for further details and also explore what other possibility you can use this for outside of implementation (i.e.: Pos Go-Live situation as in Production Support)

In the program, send data from PME01 to the ZPM01 structure. You will need it for the decision tree in ZPM01 later. What you don’t have in PME01 is the job function. This is where you use the read infotype function module, look up the job function code and pass it back to the ZPM01 structure.

At the every end after you finishes with looking up data, send the ZPM01 structure to the HR_FEATURE_BACKFIELD function module for it to handle it’s own duties of going through the feature ZTARI and send you back the return value.

Play around with this method and you can see the flexibility of it is fairly nice. What other methods have you come across, feel free to share it!
