MSS implementations using Webdynpro - workflow

Hi All,
I would like to know what would be the best way i can implement the MSS transaction in our implementation project.
We are planned to go with Webdynpro and Wrok flow, in my previous experince we have used the IQSR frame work to driver all the MSS transaction ( Multil level BADI implementation).
I Want to know in the latest version of Ecc6 EHP4 what is the best suggestable way to implement , I am aware of implementing point to point (Initiator Page (webdynpro ) submits the request can able to trigger the Workflow ).
I am looking for your valuble suggestions

Hi Krishna, I have been working with Webdynpros and Workflow and I didn't face any impossible issue to solve. So, I recommend you this option.
Good luck.

MSS implementation questions

Hi guys!
I'm in trouble with my MSS implementation. There are a lot of threads of this topic, but no complex information about setup.
Is there also an implementation guide, as it is for ESS?
If yes, could you send me a link please?
My questions are:
a, Is it necessary to have set up SSO with the R/3 backend, or is the usermapping enough for MSS?
b, My connection to R/3 from System administration->SLD->connection test worx. I have created also SAP_R3_HumanResources alias for this system. In spite of this i get an error, that app can not connect to backend. What can be wrong?
c, Are there needed same setting also in J2EE admin?
d, I have read about SAP_R3_HumanResources_Metadata alias.. What is it good for?
Thanx for answer! Points are guaranteed!
Peter

Hi Peter,
there is some documentation in the help.sap.com and also in the Portal Content Portfolio (see files at the top right; they contain some useful links...)
You didn't write about the version of you portal, the ERP and the MSS version. Please do that if you want useful help.
JCO: it is not necessary to install/ upload JCO in Netweaver.
If you have issues with the connection from the portal to the ERP then there is some problem with the configuration;
take a look to the ports and also use the fully qualified domain name and not the IP address (easier for later SSO config). Use first the user mapping to verify that you can connect.
Regarding the SAP_R3_HumanResources_Metadata. that is an JCo property you have to define where you deployed the MSS webdynpro part. The MSS portal package contains only "pointers" to the Web Dynpro components, which reside on the ERP side.

Kai

Support multiple languages in ESS-Portal (using Webdynpro)

Hi,
We are customizing ESS and Portal using Webdynpro. I have couple of questions here:
A. ESS can support multiple languages but requires language configuration, where I need to do that?
B. We are implementing ERP04 ESS (Webdynpro services) there may be additional configuration of the homepage framework for specific languages in the the backend, where I need to configure in portal side?
Can you help me out?
Regards,
Kumar.

You can try the translation workbench in the Portal for translating portal content.
Content Administration > Portal Content Translation

Manager Self Service MSS EHP5 in Webdynpro ABAP?

Hi All, I have one question. According with the different documents and the OSS Note 1450179 - ESS Based on Web Dynpro ABAP Available as of EHP5 we know that now is possible to use another portal different than SAP portal in order to use the ESS. Right?
But .. what about the MSS? I can´t find info about if the MSS is WEBdynpro ABAP enabled or not. Is it possible to use the MSS with another portal (Websphere) ?
Or is the MSS only for WebDynpro JAVA so that means SAP portal?
Thanks in advance and best regards...

Thanks Siddharth for your quick reply, but I still have doubts.
According to Note 1588625 - Release information for Manager Self-Services Add-On 1.0, the MSS addon will be release for Portal and NWBC , so if you don´t want to use a porta you can use NWBC but,
How can we call it from a Websphere portal? Is there any integration option using NWBC and Websphere portal?
And in Note 1582553 - Release strategy for the ABAP add-on EA-HR_MSS you can see that now, the availability of EA-HR_MSS is only in controlled availability, and until end of 2011 will not be fully released!!
SAP Release     Add-On Release     Availability
SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5      EA-HR_MSS 1.0     22.06.2011 CA
SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5      EA-HR_MSS 1.0     22.12.2011 GA
GA: general availability
CA: controlled availability
PL: pilot version
So, really you can use MSS integrated in a Websphere portal?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Enhancing standard BSP application by using WebDynpro components

Hi all,
We have standard BSP application delivered by SAP; we need to enhance the functionality and some new views to meet our requirement. We have planned to develop new things in WebDynpro ABAP and attach those to BSP.
Is it good practice to use WebDynpro component instead customizing BSP application?
If any body has fair knowledge on BSP and WDA, please let me know.
Regards,
Rajesh

hi
good
BSP->
It is a set of pages that represent a user interface (layout and page flow definition). The layout part of a page normally contains ABAP or JavaScript code which is inserted into the HTML structure. They can contain server-side scripting code in either JavaScript or ABAP. BSP applications use all the conventional ABAP technologies, such as Open SQL and internal tables, allowing developers to create Web pages quickly. This enables existing SAP logic, data structures, and interfaces to be directly used in Web applications.
http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_WAS_BSP_Apps.asp
WDA->
Web Dynpro for ABAP or Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP Workbench (SE80).
Web Dynpro offers the following advantages for application developers:
●      The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation effort
●      Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
●      Strict separation between layout and business data
●      Reuse and better maintainability by using components
●      The layout and navigation is easily changed using the Web Dynpro tools
●      Stateful applications are supported that is, if the page is changed and the required data remains intact so that you can access it at any time throughout the entire application context.
Note that stateless applications are not possible.
●      Automatic data transport using data binding
●      Automatic input check
●      Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
●      User interface accessibility is supported
●      Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment

A question about ESS / MSS implementation.

Hi All,
Just a brief again about our landscape as:
1. We have an ERP ECC5.0 system which has J2EE6.40(add-in) without the 'EP' usage type and the present Support package level of the relevant ESS and MSS components are as follows:
a. J2EE6.40 Support Package level is '17'.(We are going to deploy the XSS components here)
b. ERP ECC5.0 system's Software Components details are as follows:
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS RELEASE LEVEL HIGHEST SUPPORT PACKAGE APPLIED
SAP_BASIS 640 0016 SAPKB64016
SAP_ABA 640 0016 SAPKA64016
SAP_APPL 500 0009 SAPKH50009
SAP_HR 500 0019 SAPKE50019
EA-HR 500 0005 SAPKGPHC05
2. We have a separate NW2004s(Dual stack(ABAP7.0+J2EE7.0) installation having EP7.0 with Support Package level is '16'. (We are going to deploy the Business Package for ESS & MSS here).
Here are my questions?
1. what is the best 'Support Package' level recommendation or combination is applicable for all the components(J2EE6.40,SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR...etc.,) involved in this type of mixed landscape - ESS & MSS implementation?
2. If we apply the higher Support Packages 'only' for the ERP ECC5.0 software components such as: SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR - what other ERP ECC5.0 software components would get impacted from functionality prespective ?(let us say if we keep the current Support Package level for other software components as untouched)
3. Is there any dependency exist from the Support Package point-of-view between the ESS MSS Business Packages and with XSS components(PCUI_GP; ESS; MSS)
4. Is there any dependency exist from the Support Package point-of-view between XSS components and ERP ECC5.0 software components such as "SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR"
Kindly address my above concerns.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay
To answer your questions
First you should check note 1007341 which helps consultants proposing this type of landscape
To answer some of your questions
1) For SPs you have to patch ERP 2004 components following ERP 2004 stack and patch
    ERP 2005 components following the ERP2005 stack recommendations at www.service.sap.com/sp-stacks
    in terms of equivalence levels I would select SP levels from each stack with similiar release dates
2) Presumably you will be using ERP2004 components in the front-end in some capacity therefore these
    ERP2004 components must be patched in line with ECC 500 stacks
3) There is dependancies between Business Packages and XSS
4) There is dependancies between back-end components SAP_HR and EA_HR and XSS/BP
    SAP_HR and EA_HR also have their own dependancies with the other back-end components listed

Modify process flows using Oracle Workflow

Hi,
I'd like to use Oracle Workflow to enhance the process flows created using Warehouse Builder, as some features are missing if compared with the full-blown Workflow Builder, and it is desired to integrate OWB processes in larger ones. I have successfully applied changes on the Workflow processes generated from OWB but it's not clear how far I can go, especially because I don't want to lose too much of the benefits of the original Workflows:all mapping results should continue to show in the Runtime Audit Browser, and it shouldn't be impossible to deploy the processes in a new environment.
I am worried that when I change the processes manually in Workflow, I lose the possibility to re-deploy automatically from OWB, but this is tolerable as long as the final Workflow processes are maintainable and deployable.
Has anyone tried a similar approach? How much can it be feasible/supported??
regards, Antonio

Jean-Pierre, thank you very much for your reply.
I'm still evaluating what will be done through OWB and what through OWF. However my first attempts were oriented along the lines you suggest, that is to keep the process flows generated by OWB untouched, and use them as building blocks for larger processes. At the moment I am trying to realize what balance gives the best result. One extreme would be to use OMB scripting to wrap mappings in very simple generated processes, deploy them and build all the workflow logic in OWF. The other extreme would be to implement complete workflows through OWB and modify them through Workflow, but I'm sure this would certainly not be supported (as the Workflow developer manual states).
My intent is to use OWF to add some flow logic I find difficult to introduce using OWB, especially for recovery actions, eg I added a join operator to the standard AND and OR, which purpose is to wait that all joining processes complete and than to branch depending on a failure in any process. I don't want the following recovery/logging actions to start unless processing has stopped.
I built such logic very easily throw OWF but it's very involved using OWB, unless I'm missing something...

Which part of EP implementation requires webdynpro

Hi All,
       I am new to EP, and i know only how to create normal iviews(url iview & transactional iview only),worksets,roles. can anybody help me to know which part of EP implementation requires webdynpro and its importance.
Give some tips on some other important stuff which will be helpful for the implementation of EP
                  -- Jasmine.

hi,
   webdynpro is another kind of perspective.Where we can use components of portals like abstract,dynpage,jsp.. or webdypro which is another perspective for creating UI screens.
Web Dynpro is the SAP programming model used to develop professional Web UIs for business applications. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical development environment with special Web-Dynpro tools that are integrated in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
The Web Dynpro tools support application development during the implementation and design phases. When a Web Dynpro application is developed, a platform-independent metamodel is created from which Java classed are generated.
Since Web Dynpro features a clear separation between layout data and business data, you can develop Web Dynpro applications with the same programming model both for mobile devices and conventional PCs.
Web Dynpro offers application developers the following advantages:
·        Different implementation languages are supported
·        The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation effort
·        Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
·        Strict separation of layout data and business data through use of the Model View Controller concept
·        Reuse and better maintainability by using components
·        The layout and navigation is easily changed using the Web Dynpro tools
·        Stateful applications are supported that is, if the page is changed, the data that are required again remain intact, so you can access the data from a previous page again
·        Automatic data transport using data binding
·        Automatic input check
·        Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
·        Flicker-free screen construction
·        Syntax check at design time

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

How to create a Language Branch using custom workflow?

Hi,
I’ve a requirement where I need to create a workflow process which will create a Language branch. i.e I wanted to achieve the functionality using custom workflow as given in the docs: https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/multi_site_manager.html#Managing the Translation of your Language Branches
As per the OOTB functionality,
1. If the target page is not exist in the Language branch, it will copy the reference page to target path.
2. If the target page is already exists, it will not create a copy of the reference.
After the translation, if we make any changes in the reference page and activate the reference, then we have a button called 'Show side by Side' under Translation in the side kick which shows differences between reference page and translated page.
Example:
So, I would like know how we can achieve this in my custom workflow process. In my workflow process, I’m checking whether the page is existed in the target path or not. If not exist, I used page copy.
Eg: Page page = newPage.copy(originalPage,targetPath+"/"+originalPageName,null,true,true );
When I use above api, it just copies the page and it will not maintain any relation with reference page.
Any pointers would be more helpful.
Thanks
Siva

Hi,
I have a similar request to export the texts from one language and after the translation to import them to the new language, did you find any solution? My question is how can I add some steps into my workflow to validate the imported data -and if the user validate the texts then proceed with next step(in my case I import the text from a file and generate a form with values). I read the documentation from Adobe but I didn't find anything related to how we can add a workflow to a dynamically generated from(I don't use the CQ form component).
Can anybody help me with this?
Thx, Lorand

Hi Consultants,
We have requirement to send PO - Emailing PO's from concurrent program using new workflow
Request details>
develop a way to email a PO as a PDF from the reports menu. Currently the PO can only be emailed from the PO approval screen.
The business would like a way to email the PO anytime after the PO is approved. Reference IT Request ticket #87341.
Ticket#87341: Details
Details: If a purchase order has been sent to the supplier by email, and it needs to be resent for some reason (lost, recipient out on vacation, etc.)
we have to print off a hard copy, then scan it and email it out.
We cannot just send a new email copy directly. We would like to have the ability to re-send an email copy of the PO directly.
Business Justification: If a purchase order has been sent to the supplier by email, and it needs to be re-sent for some reason (lost, recipient out on vacation, etc.) we have to print off a hard copy, then scan it and email it out. We cannot just send a new email copy directly.
This takes extra time and is inefficient.
Please advice me how can i achive this one
