Release Notes 3.4.6
Pay Period 10
May 9, 2008
The following items have been moved (migrated) to Production for use by Agencies beginning on May 9, 2008.
-
IM141919 - Position Occupied field in the PAR pages.
ISSUE: Invalid code was not forcing (a) this field to always be present, and (b) the value in this field to match the value in the Position Data menu option.
RESOLUTION: Correct the coding so these two conditions are enforced.
USER IMPACT: Users will not be able to save a PAR action without a value in the Position Occupied field. If they do attempt a save with the Position Occupied field blank on a PAR action an error will occur and the following message will be displayed, “Position Occupied is Required. This field must be entered.” In addition the user will be forced to have the same value for the Position Occupied field in the employee’s PAR Record, as in the Position Data record for the position number assigned to the employee. If the user attempts to update the Position Occupied field on the PAR page and the value does not match the Position Occupied value from Position data an error will occur and the following message will be displayed, “This value does not match Position Occupied value of "VALUE” in Position Data. The Position Occupied field in the PAR pages does not match the Position Occupied field on the Position Record.”
-
IM133256_IIB - PHASE IIB - Auto Actions (Cont.)
ISSUE: A Pay Rate Determinant (PRD) of “5” or “7” is not allowed except on PAR actions with a 1xx NOA. When an auto-generated action occurs, the system generates the action with the incorrect PRD.
RESOLUTION: Source code modifications will automatically change the Pay Rate Determinant (PRD) to the proper code on WGI actions (i.e. the PRD 5 will be changed to 6 (Special Rate), and the PRD 7 will be changed to 0 Regular Rate).
USER IMPACT: Employees with a pay rate determinant (PRD) that have a WGI processed by the Auto-WGI process will have their pay rate determinant correctly updated to regular rate by the Auto-WGI process. Users will not have to manually correct the PRD for these employees.
-
IM141164 - Rewrite of the Mass Mask Employee Awards process.
ISSUE: Previous version did not:
- Allow users to specify the Employee Record #;
- Allow users to delete the employees from their run control (when they are done, so they can reuse the run control id);
- Perform sufficient error-checking in both the run control page and also within the process itself.
- Consistently pick the correct PAR action to use as the “template” when creating the new award PAR action.
RESOLUTION: Program was rewritten to address the issues listed above.
USER IMPACT: Users will be able to manage Mass Mask Award errors without opening Peregrine tickets, because they will be able to delete emplids from their run control and rerun the process using the same run control id. In addition, users will be able to specify the Employee Record # on the run control page, thus allowing users to process awards for employees with multiple appointments.
-
IM142767 - Assign hire date to concurrent assignments where they are missing.
ISSUE: On some concurrent assignments, the hire date is missing.
RESOLUTION: We will be correcting the vast majority (but not all) of these cases. Specifically, we are correcting the concurrent assignments where:
- for that concurrent assignment, one or more PAR actions is missing the hire date; and
- a hire action appears on only one effective date for that concurrent assignment; and
- the hire action is on the earliest effective date for the concurrent assignment
If these conditions are met, then we set the hire date for all PAR actions for the concurrent assignment equal to the earliest effective date (i.e. the hire effective date) for the concurrent assignment.
USER IMPACT: Employees with concurrent assignments will have the EOD date on all appointments, not just their first/primary appointment (empl record 0). This date is needed and used for validation throughout the Capital HR system, so the need for a value is necessary for accurate, successful processing of actions on this employee.
-
IM136997:
ISSUE: Develop Security Recertification process. Each EHRP user will need to review their current security access and certify that they have the appropriate access.
RESOLUTION: Designed a Security Recertification page and created process where users can review and certify their access online. The Administrator will be able to define the Security Description and Terms that the users see on the recertification page, Track who has or has not yet completed the certification and run queries to extract this information.
USER IMPACT: The EHRP users will see a new “Security Recertification” option on the Main Menu when logging into Capital HR. This link is necessary for all users, as they need to certify their access by a specified date in order to remain active users. If the certification does not take place by the specified date, the users will be inactivated. A broadcast email was sent to all users explaining the certification process and the date by which it needed to be completed.
-
IM134297_B:
ISSUE: Security update - remove all the Default Delivered roles, along with the old 8 “Must Have” (MHAV) roles.
RESOLUTION: This is accomplished by changing the Search view for the Role lookup in the User profile page: ROLE_USRLST2_VW and adding a new custom table/page HE_ROLE_EXCLUDE.
USER IMPACT: 22 EHRP users with unauthorized roles will have those roles removed and their access will be reduced, accordingly. 12 EHRP users will have their old 8 MHAV roles replaced with the new consolidated MHAV role (if not already there). No other users will be impacted. These changes are just a few in the PSC’s process of getting all security standardized, as well as having security meet all audit requirements.
-
IM142805 - Increase amount of online data for query HE0322 (Personnel Transaction Status)
ISSUE: Frequently there is a need to check a transaction’s status that is over 60 days old.
RESOLUTION: Increased the amount of data kept online from 60 days to 1 year from this time forward.
USER IMPACT: From this point forward the HE0322 report will retain actions for 1 year instead of 60 days. This will allow users to verify the status of an action sent to DFAS for up to one year.
