Manager of user

[ritatimmons]

format USWF-MGR1 (for example).  Instead of calling SWX_GET_MANAGER
directly, I am calling the role AC00000168.  It is working okay for me.
Org_object has the value USRGRADIG for example and ac_agents returns the
manager in the format USWF-MGR1.
 
 swc_get_element ac_container 'ORG_OBJECT' org_object.
 
* call the rule to find the manager
* Note our rule id is number 90000001 - so the technical id of the
* rule is AC90000001.
* The list of agents will be returned in table ac_agents.
 call function 'RH_GET_ACTORS'
      exporting
           act_object                = 'AC00000168'
      tables
           actor_container           = ac_container
           actor_tab                 = ac_agents
      exceptions
           no_active_plvar           = 1
           no_actor_found            = 2
           exception_of_role_raised  = 3
           no_valid_agent_determined = 4
           others                    = 5.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
* message....
 endif.
 
Maybe this will help?
 
Regards,
Rita

I just tried the  SWX_GET_MANAGER FM.
I set the AC_CONTAINER as so.
 
AC_CONTAINER 'ORG_AGENT' 'USSAMPLRL'. "ORG_OBJECT.
AC_CONTAINER 'OTYPE' 'US'.      "ORG_TYPE.
AC_CONTAINER 'OBJID' 'SAMPLRL'. "ORG_ID.
 
Still returns a position. Not a UserID.
Am I passing in something wrong?

Rick,
 
I just tried and SWX_GET_MANAGER returns well a username. If you look at the
code of the FM, you will see that it calls two others
FM's:RH_ACT_LEADING_POSITION to get the manager's position, and then from
there it uses RH_STRUC_GET with evaluation path SAP_TAGT to give you the
corresponding users.
Hope this helps.
 
Patrick

I know of SWX_GET_MANAGER. It return a position.
Then I would have to find the users USRID. Just trying to get it in one
call.
I was just checking to make sure I didn't miss something.
Time to stop what I am doing and role my own *sigh*.
 
We are in 4.6C. Going forward, if anyone knows of a FM that will do this
please let me know so I can document. Or if SWX_GET_MANAGER is
getting deprecated.
 
Thanks!

There is a role which returns the position of the manager of a user, so in
two calls (find manager position, find position user) you can make it.
Or you could just define your own evaluation path and use that. Maybe that
is the best solution.
