Data Selection on E-rec-Performance Issue

[Former Member]

We are in the process of optimizing the Data Selection on the E-rec Portal page . Presently the data selection takes about 3 minutes for single selection which hits the performance. All the E-rec Portal page are Custom BSP's

We are looking for solutions to optimize the Data Selection on the Portal page. One suggestion is to use check box in place of entire selection. But we are not sure how to implement this

Request you to help us with your inputs/suggestion if any of you have handled similar requirement.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Pavithra,

improving the performance of e-recruiting is not really easy, as bypassing the object caches can, if not done right, delete application data.

Really speeding up applications needs changes deep in the application and the two systems I know which have done it need big efforts for maintenance when patching or upgrading.

There are small points for improvement. If you follow my recommendation to use "candidate selection" only and work without the list of "my applications" you could delete the recruiting team records for applications from HRP5131 and only keep the requisition ones. This speeds up the list of requisitions in candidate selection if you have a lot of requisitions per recruiter.

Other attempts are usually more organazational. Like do not overuse requisitions and application groups. If you have application groups for unsolicited aopplications close them after half a year or a year and open new ones to avoid collection thousands of applications there. Only assign employees to the recruiting team which are really working on them so lists stay small. Close finisched requisitions etc.

In some cases presetting the selections might help but this has to be checked to the implementation and with the business process.

If you could share some details on the applications you have trouble with we can perhaps offer some more detailed hints.

Hello Roman,

Thanks a lot for your time.

The application that we are looking at is HRRCF_CDCY_PROC. We have made a Z-Copy of this application. But the selection per record itself takes a lot of time. SAP standard has used Table View Iterators to display the set of candidate records.

Can we include check boxes in the first column and do the selection? To achieve this i need to change the current data selection that is happening in the Custom BSP. Would this improve the performance?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Pavithra,

i am a bit confused. I know that if you have a lot of records in the hrrcf_cdcy_proc it takes quite a while till the application shopws up when called from the requisition list. But I interpret your post that you have trouble when selecting a single record within the table view? When just clicking the table line selector?

Do I get this right?

Hello Roman,

Thanks for your response

It is not about the data that comes on the E-rec portal, but the time it takes for selection a single row/multiple rows on the table view iterator. One option is to add a check box to the first column of the table iterator. I belive the rendering would be avoided if we add check box, based on the selected check box we would pick up the record and pass it to other pages for subsequent processing.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Pavithra,

I checked in some systems and I admit I takes about a second for the line to get rendered as selected but so far I have not seen this as a real issue. If you add checkboxes this might be reduced but still there would be some rendering as the checkbox in bsp is AFAIK not a html-checkbox but a ton of java script and pictures which are replaced, so your performance improvement will not be as huge as expected as there is still some rendering.

I'd personally not change the bsp UI in this way. It is a lot of work and as soon as you upgrade to EhP4 all bsp for recruiter will be replaced. So if you plan to upgrade to EhP4 soon, I would not invest much in BSP.

Hi Pavithra,

What kind of data ?

are they vacancy requisitions? if yes then , have a dropdown with different statuses and date ranges.

Hope this helps.
