What is Historical Record Flag?

[former_member678355]

Hi,

Our team needs to record every time the candidate saves their profile (exactly the same way as the audit trail for the Administrator role). And I was wondering if 'Historical Record Flag' could be used to do this. I don't know what it does, and hoping we can use it to track changes. Any clarification on this would be great!!!!

Also, if you have any suggestions as to how we would save each time the candidate saves their profile (we need to see the content of each version, like the audit trail), it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Hi Joe

Historical records are permanently stored on the database, so that you can report on the information at a later point in time.

For example:

a) Perform action: TCODE: pa40

b) Use 'Org Reassignment' action type

c) Put in a new position number in IT0001, (any available one)

d) save IT0001, a pop-up window appears asking if we want to delimit vacancy.

e) click 'yes'

f) save till the end.

g) Go to tcode: PO13 to the position object. ( the new position assigned the employee to), I will see that the historic rec is ticked on the vacancy record - which you do not want to see.

h) checked SE16 HRP1007

If the historical-flag is missing the reporting about the positions and vacancies is not quite correct. Furthermore it is not possible to deactivate the historical flag ndicator in IMG .

Thanks very much for the info!

Would there be any way I can use this to track versions of the Candidate Profile? Also, is this what the Audit Trail uses to track their version?

Thanks in advance!! You guys are great!

Try if the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY is of any help. You may have to configure the PD infotype change log in table T77CDOC_CUST.

Thanks for the information!

Unfortunately, we haven't enabled logging on the table that we need to (HRP5102).

If you could, please explain how to enable logging on a database table. It would be a GREAT help!!

We really need to record every change to the data in this table, so we really need to find out how to log records.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

As suggested by Suresh, create an entry in table T77CDOC_CUST using SM30 for HRP5102. Also check the table in T77CDOC. Then use report RHCDOC_DISPLAY in SE38 to display the change document for that table HRP5102.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Sarika.

Hi Joe,

The historical record flag is something that's appended to objects when they're delimited so that changes can't be made. It's used during follow-up in TEM as well for courses. If you look at the RHGRENZ* reports, they describe how you can add and remove HISTO from a table. I don't think they're going to buy you what you need.

Cheers,
