Drop Box Folder Structure
• Inbound – Files dropped in this folder requires a corresponding audit file (cksum file). This folder is
used to send files to Callidus.
• Manual – Files dropped in this folder does not require a corresponding audit file (cksum file). This
folder is used to send files to Callidus.
• Outbound – This folder will contain outbound files from Callidus
• Badfiles –This folder will contain any rejected files (note: only applicable for ODI)

Standard File Templates – CDL & ODI
• These are a set of Callidus specific standard files.
• Each of these files are documented in a corresponding Excel sheet.
• These files require the data content to be formatted in a specific way.
• Each of these files require a specific naming convention.

ODJB (On-Demand Job) Trigger File
 Alternative to Commission U.I.
 Triggers Commission jobs when “ODJB” file arrives into the Inbox folder.
 Can run Imports, Pipelines, Report Generation in sequence.
 Detailed Run Results Reported with ODI Email

Best Practices
 Gzip large files (any files over 1GB is not recommended), split if
possible
 Create email group and add them into ODI notifications.
 Pre-processing in Landing Pad (SDI for HANA) or inhouse
 Truncate custom tables created in EXT schema (storage quota

implications)
 Attend Callidus Training to become familiar with the product before

developing ODI data feeds

REST API

REST API
The Commission REST API includes the following REST resources:
• Orders
• Transactions
• Credit
• Measurement
• …
Each REST resource supports a range of REST operations to read and

manipulate these REST resources. All REST operations require authentication
credentials for an active Commission user and perform the operation in the role
of that user.
You can access the document of full list of APIs via the following URL:
https://{4 letter moniker}-{environment}.callidusondemand.com/ APIDocument/
For example: https://sg11-sls.callidusondemand.com/APIDocument/

Lesson 6: Reporting
Crystal Report In Commission

Report Types
For people who manage

Commission, e.g. HR
For people who get

Commission, e.g. Sales

Generating the reports
Ways to generate reports:
a. Generating via Calculation Screen (Pipeline – Generate Statement)
b. Generating via ODJB automation
c. Report designer client tool
Reporting inbox, delivery mechanism
Once the reports are generated(a and b), they will be published to the Sales Performance Home Page of
the users.

BO Reporting Groups
Default BO Groups:
 <TENANTID> Compensation Reports Admin Group
 <TENANTID> Compensation Reports User Group
Custom BO Groups
Custom BO Group allows dividing the user data further into smaller chunks and gives more flexibility on how
the reports should be generated.
Custom BO Group Maintenance
The users in custom BO groups should be added and removed explicitly as needed.

Stored Procedure and Reporting Tables
Naming Conventions
Stored Procedure Naming Convention: RPT_<CUSTOMPACKAGE>
Table Naming Convention: RPT_<CUSTOMTABLE>
Package/Procedure
A driver package should be developed, which will be one point of entry. This package will be internally called by the Generate Statement
Calculation (via ODSReportsGenerationConfig.xml). This driver package can then call other required reporting procedures/packages to
populate reporting tables. Once the reporting tables are populated, they should then be used in Crystal reports directly instead of going via
the universe.
Pass the following parameters to the driver package:
 PeriodSeq
 ProcessungUnitSeq
 CalendarSeq
 TenantID

Stored Procedure and Reporting Tables Cont.
In the reporting table include the following fields, apart from the other required fields:
 Positionseq
 Payeeseq
 ProcessingUnitSeq
 PeriodSeq
 PeriodName
 ProcessingUnitName
 CalendarName
NOTE: Never include TenantID as a column on these tables.

Best Practices – (for Performance & Maintenance)
 All reporting tables should be partitioned by PeriodSeq and ProcessingUnitSeq.
 Create indexes on the reporting tables, based on the SQL in the Crystal Reports. Create the index on PeriodSeq,
ProcessingUnitSeq, PositionSeq and PayeeSeq. Use local indexes instead of global in partitioned tables.
 Make sure the datatypes of the indexed columns match that of the joined columns in the queries using the tables.
 Truncate the partition relevant for the period and processing unit being processed on the reporting tables, analyze
the truncated partition and then populate and update the statistics of the partition again after the data is loaded.
 Log each step in the reporting package into cs_debug table. This is required by Tech Ops to support with any
issues found in future.
 Design the solution in such a way as to re-use the intermediate results in more than one report.
 Keep number of tables joined in a single SQL to a minimum.
 Do not combine two or more SQLs with UNION ALL, instead use them as separate statements.
 Never use Loops and Cursors, instead use bulk SQLs.

Best Practices – (for Performance & Maintenance) Cont.
 Include sort_order & sort_group columns on the reporting tables so the report can order or group by those.
 Instead of connecting tables to SQL such as CS_ProcessingUnit and CS_Period, they should be queries further up in
the procedure and the required values should be fetched in variables. These variables should then be used in SQLs.
This will help in reducing the number of tables involved in SQLs.
 Query the pipeline table to identify the reports that are being generated and based on this only populate the reporting
tables used by the reports being generated.
 Always reference the custom objects from Crystal using the schema name qualification. The custom objects will need to
be given read access to the <TENANTID> schema from EXT schema. Example NTELEXT objects will be accessed
from the reports using NTEL schema, so NTEL should be given access to NTELEXT database objects.
 If for some reason synonyms have to be created, then only create Private synonyms.
 Never do any data manipulation or calculations in reports, instead get them aggregated in rules.
 Never Hard Code in Crystal and PL/SQL code. Use constants package or store them in a reference table/generic
classifier and then use them in the reporting logic.

StageHook - ODSReportsGenerationConfig
Once the custom PL/SQL stored procedures are created, they need to be linked to the Generate
Statements option in the calculation screen. Here is how we do it.
Navigate to the path: /apps/Callidus/pipeline/classpath/properties/<TenantID> and create a file

<TenantID>-ODSReportsGenerationConfig.xml (by copying from a template).
In the file <TenantID>-ODSReportsGenerationConfig.xml include the following:

Code Promotion
Once the development is finished in DEV environment, to move the code from DEV environment to
PROD a Code Promotion Document should be completed. This will contain details about each code
to be promoted to the new environment.
The following steps should be taken to promote the code from one environment to another:
1) Check-in latest code to SVN
2) Write up a Code Promotion Document – Template available with OD Support
3) Raise a Ticket with OD Support and send the code deployment document to support.
4) OD Support will grab the code from SVN and will complete the migration.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Access to PROD environment is not given to any developers. The only PROD
access will be via Callidus Portal for the users.
NOTE: Partners to Callidus will not have access to SVN, so they should send the code by email
instead to OD support as part of a ticket.

Technical Support Tickets
An OD Ticket will be required for the following tasks, to support with the Report development:
 Connection to OD Environment: VPN connection. (Not required for HANA Platform)
 Developer access to Database: Access to EXT schema (Database user: fdc1ext, password and TNS) in the
database.
 Adding new TrueComp Admin users by default are setup under BO user group. To move them to admin user group, a
ticket needs to be raised.
 To add the Driver package to the Generate Statements Calculation (ODSReportsGenerationConfig.xml) a ticket will
have to be raised.
 Code Promotion – A ticket will be required to be raised to move the reporting code from one environment to another
(e.g.: DEV to UAT or UAT to PROD).
 User Sync Request – This is to be requested as and when needed. Also, this is required just before go-live.

Deposits

Pipeline Process
Stage Description
Classify Classifies valid transactions.
Allocate Calculates credits and primary measurements and allocates them to position
assignments. The output of the Allocate stage is credits and primary
measurements.
Reward Calculates secondary measurements, incentives, commissions, and deposits
for each position assignment. The output of the Reward stage is deposit
amounts for participants for the period in which the calculation is run.
Pay Calculates trial payments for periods that are not finalized (marked as closed),
or calculates trial balances for periods that are finalized.
Post Changes trial payments and balances to posted status (read-only).
Finalize For a position group or for all positions effective in a period, Commissions
marks the period as finalized. Thereafter, Commissions generates balances
instead of payments if you run the Pay stage.

Stagehooks
 Stagehooks are SQL stored procedures stored in the EXT Database
 They can be triggered to run as a part of the pipeline process, before or after a
particular stage
 Note: Stagehooks are customisations, and should be kept to a minimum in
most situations
Stagehook Type Description
pre-stage Pre-stage hooks are executed prior to the specified stage. For example, a prestage hook
for the Allocate stage will execute before the Allocate stage begins.
post-stage Post-stage hooks are executed after the specified stage has completed. For example, a
post-stage hook for the Allocate stage will execute when the Allocate stage completes.
stage failure A stage failure hook is called if any stage exits because there is an exception during the
pipeline run. You can only specify one stage failure hook for the whole pipeline. This is
not commonly used

Pros and Cons
PROS:
 Supports the execution of a stored procedure.
 Well-suited to bulk processes, such as generic attribute updates.
 The code can be easily tuned in the case of a stored procedure.
 The stagehook code will not be considered by the product upgrade scripts, meaning that it will not be a failure point when
upgrading.
 Stagehook execution time is reported in the UI. The location of the double underscore indicates when the stage hook ran
in relation to the stage. For example, a stage „__Classify‟ signifies a pre-Classify stagehook, whereas “Classify__”
signifies a post Classify stagehook.
CONS:
 Can only be executed before or after specific pipeline stages.
 No integration with the Commissions UI. Stage Hook processes appear as a 'black box' to users.
 SQL in the stagehook may be affected by an upgrade. Typically, the effect is minimal.
 Code is obscured from the UI and back-end access is required to make changes and to debug issues
 Unlike Commissions rules, these typically have to be modified by technical teams, cannot be done by non technical users
 Impact analysis of changes would also require technical team involvement

Apply for Grants and Stagehook Permissions
The following information is requested:

 Names and roles of the people requesting the grant, and the company they work for.
 Grants for consideration (SQL grants with appropriate syntax)
 Reason for this request
 Justification (What was attempted to perform this process, and why it cannot be completed using standard
system functionality. Why you would need the grants)
 Design Document (If not available, a description of how the process will work, where the information is
coming from, what is the expected flow of the process and where the information is going to)
 Code (If possible, otherwise we will use the Design Document Information)
 Run Information (How this will be run in the system. If this is for a stagehook, when will it run - Pre/Post
what step? If this is for a trigger file, how will it be run? If this is for a custom process/script/workflow, how
will it be triggered and run?

Drop Box Connection
 Any SFTP software can be used to establish connection with the drop box
(e.g. Putty, WinSCP).
 Private/Public key pair needs to be generated in the source server and
public key would need to be copied into Callidus Drop Box to establish
connection.
- Developer needs to raise ticket to Support attaching generated public key in order to obtain
access to Drop Box

Using the ODI Email
 Key part of Business Process
- Who Should Receive these Emails; i.e. Who Will Monitor and Decide on
Next Steps?

ResetFromClassify/Allocate Stagehooks
 If the credit processing requires a externally calculated value to be available on the transactions, then SH can
be used to update certain GAs or GNs on the transaction. It is not always possible to have this information
available when the file is loaded into Commissions
 Simple example scenario where a stagehook may be used:
A transaction should be credited only if the payee has at least N transactions for the product in the month.
If there is a large number of products and the list changes often, it may not be practical to create a PMR rule to
count every product’s sales for the month.
In this case, a stagehook can be run that counts the transactions in the system, and for each transaction for the
product, it stamps the count on the transaction.
This count is now easily available to the credit rule, and the logic can be implemented in credits
Note: Files may not be loaded for the entire month , they will be loaded day by day, so the total count will not be
known until the pipeline stagehook runs

Pre AllocateAggregation Stagehooks
 Stagehooks can also be used to update PMRs
• Example: A payee’s compensation may depend on the overall achievement of his team.
This can be done via roll up and rolldown in the pipeline. However,
If the team changes often, relationships can be too effort intensive to maintain. Storing the
relationships in a classifier or position attribute is often easier to maintain
Performance issue can occur due to rollups in SMR/IRs of the teams are too large.
Depending on the above considerations, Stagehooks may be used
