Hello Risha,
If you've applied the note 1416756 , you probably already have the ESS and MSS Business Package 1.41.
First off, have you got the standard iViews to work from the standard ESS portal role before creating you own iViews?
On your Portal Content Admin tab, navigate to Content Provided by SAP->End User Content->Employee Self-Service->ERP 6.0 EHP4->Pages->Career and Job
You will see 2 pages called Appraisal Document and other two called Appraisal Documents (WD_UI) and Appraisal documents (Predefined Process). Since you are trying to use hap_main_document, I assume you are trying to get the Flexible Template iViews working.
The Pages you will want to reuse/copy are Appraisal Documents (WD_UI) and Appraisal Document with the PCD ID ending with documents_ee.'Appraisal Documents (WD_UI)' is your starting point and 'Appraisal Document' is your target page on clicking on an individual document. If you check the properties of the iViews included in these pages, the ECC applications used will make more sense. (Notice the OBN within the WD_UI page under the page properties. The OBN operation used should show up here If you want to add your own, navigate to Portal Content-> Business Objects->ERP->HR . Locate the operation you want to use and add it to this perspective in your custom page) .
So create some docs using 'phap_prepare' . Launch the Appraisal Documents (WD_UI) page and click on the doc you've created. The target Page will be launched . What you have been trying to do all along (I think) is launch the target page independently without any inputs.
Good luck
