Application Parameters

Although officially listed as an Infrastructure table, the Application Parameters (APPCTRL) table is one that is part of general system configuration. Options on this table are set once and do not vary by year, fund, department, transaction, or other factors. The table is very generic in its design so that it can host many different types of options with the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. Of the controls on this table, those listed below directly relate to the Payroll Processing business area. Note: Any changes to records on this table should be followed by a bounce of all servers used for CGI Advantage HRM.

Parameter	Description
ASYNC_REQ_POLL_INTERVAL	Polling Frequency (in seconds) to check the status of an asynchronous REST call. Default value that is set is 10 seconds. The transformed jobs polls REST_REQ_LOG table once in every such interval set here to determine the status of the REST request that was being processed. A very low value here means a higher number of polling (may not be necessary) and a high value here means a longer wait time for the job to finish if the request ends between the two polling intervals (may be an overkill).
ON_DEMAND_CHK_CLASS	This parameter determines the NextGen Payroll class to be invoked for Online Check (OCHK) and Paycheck Calculator actions invoked through HRM application.
ONLINE_HRM_JAVA_SRVC_TIMEOUT	This parameter determines how long an Online Check or Paycheck Calculator action has to wait before it times out, in case of non-responsive call. By default, this parameter is set to a value of 60 seconds. Changing the default value might impact the user experience as a very high value would force the user wait for that long and a low value might interrupt the running process in case it exceeds this time out value.
MULTI_STATE_TAX	This parameter determines whether or not enhanced multi-state tax processing is in use. By default, this parameter is set to N. If the Parameter Value is Y, the multi-state tax functionality is enabled, which means: Users utilizes the Federal Tax Enrollment (TAXF), State Tax Enrollment (TAXS) and Employee State Tax Withholding Certificate (ETAXS) transaction to adjust employee federal and state taxes. The Employee Tax Parameter tab on DEDM will only utilize the federal tax information. State tax information is not displayed. This tab provides the option to create or modify Federal Tax Enrollment (TAXF). The Employee State Tax Parameter tab is displayed to allow users to make adjustments to employee state tax deductions. This tab provides the option to create or modify State Tax Enrollment (TAXS). The Employee State Tax Withholding Certificate (ETAXS) transaction is available for employee user roles to create on the Manage Tax Information tab of Pay Landing (MEIPAY). The Time-to-Gross (TTG) process populates the State ID and Local ID on the pending payments, if a Schedule Location is available on the Timesheet (TIMEI), Timesheet Adjustment (TADJ), Overload Payment Generator (OPAY) or One-Time Payment (OTPAY) transactions, or a valid State Tax Enrollment is available for the employee. The Gross-to-Net (GTN) process retrieves the ST_CD that is processed using the following hierarchy: Retrieve from EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST if record exists for an employee. If an employee has multiple state taxes, each state tax deduction should be calculated based on the subject gross amount. Retrieve from ADDRESS if record exists for an employee and employee does not have a record in EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST. Retrieve from Multi-State Tax OPROC if employee does not have a record in either EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST or ADDRESS. Retrieve from Multi-State Tax OPROC if employee does not have a record in either EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST or ADDRESS.
ON_DEMAND_CHK_CLASS	This parameter determines the NextGen Payroll class to be invoked for Online Check (OCHK) and Paycheck Calculator actions invoked through HRM application.
ONLINE_HRM_JAVA_SRVC_TIMEOUT	This parameter determines how long an Online Check or Paycheck Calculator action has to wait before it times out, in case of non-responsive call. By default, this parameter is set to a value of 60 seconds. Changing the default value might impact the user experience as a very high value would force the user wait for that long and a low value might interrupt the running process in case it exceeds this time out value.
