Multiple backend systems for business package ESS/MSS

Hi,
I would like to know whether there is a smart solution for connecting the business package ESS/MSS with multiple backend systems (up to 10 systems).
I am aware of the possibility using parameter "sap-wd-arfc-useSys", but this implies, that content needs to be duplicated n-times in order to be able to maintain the Jco destination suffix.
Any hint, also for custom built solutions are very welcome!
Best regards,
Johannes

Business Package ESS/MSS

Hello folks,
I'm getting started with this package that i don't have much knowledge on it and i'd like to know about the customizations that we've inside R/3 that may be done by the IMG. Do you guys know where can i find a customization map / guide regarding these Business Packages(ESS/MSS) that i could use? I saw 2 links Employee Self-Service and Manager Self-Service in Personal Management, but i would like to have a proper documentation that could guide me.
Thanks in advance,
Andre

Hi
Go through this
Yes there are 3 sca available in Service Marketplace for ESS and MSS. The path is
service.sap.com->Software Download->SAP Application Components->SAP ERP->SAP ERP 2004->SAP XSS.
Here You can find there latest patches for ESS, MSS and PCUI_GP.
You can deploy these on your J2EE server. Then you need to create the systems in the portal and configure the JCO.
Here is the link that explains the same.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/38/e8584c2a664547b60442646bee23b6/frameset.htm
JDI is needed if you want to change the ESS Applications. You don't need to create and iViews as SAP delivers standard iViews for all of its services.
If you need any more information, let me know.
I this is useful for u rewad me... you also can get points...

URGENT : EP 7.0 /ECC 5.0 - Problem with Business Package : ESS/MSS

Dear Portal Gurus,
We are facing a problem with business package for ESS/MSS
Our system Info is as under :
Portal:- NW 2004s
ERP2004: - (R3 ECC 5.0)
ESS:- BP for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.2
MSS:- BP for Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.1.1
SAP XSS à (SAP ESS 100, SAP MSS 100 and SAP PCUI_GP 100 , all upto SP 12)
After the Business Packages were installed,found that some ess apps where not deployed...so manually deployed it.
The JCO connections are OK.
Do we need to set up the backend Homepage Framework for the same......even for preview.....was thinking not.
Also, here is the error and exception that we get when we preview any ESS iview.
A critical error has occured. Processing of the service had to be terminated. Unsaved data has been lost.
Please contact your system administrator.
You dont have the authorization to start service sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuArea.

CFolders System for Business Package Buyers

I am very new in KM and cFolders area.
Currently we have already installed EP+EPC on Netweaver04s and trying to apply
business package Buyers.
The installation guide of Business package said that we need to have SM59 RFC
connection to cFolder system.
Anyway, as I have little knowledge about cFolder system. I don't know how
I can navigate to that and do the initial testing.
Kindly advise.

Dear G,
As I see your back-end system has 2 app servers... to cofigure the portal iViews to use both app servers you need to define that in the portal system object that is defined to connect to the backend system... You should look if the system object you use for connecting to srm is of the type: "SAP_R3_LoadBalancing"
See also: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/1f/bddf3d48b05d5ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
In addition because you are talking about ITS you could configure a WebDispatcher in front of your Backend SRM system...
Good Luck,

Create iView - Portal 7.0 - Business Package ESS/MSS

Hello guys,
Someone can tell me how to create an iView with proprieties like:
Code Link:
PAGE_DEPENDENCIES:
PAR_DEPENDENCIES:
thanks.

This is very simple -
For PAR files -
Make sure you deploy your custom PAR file (com.<client namespace>) to the Java engine.
Creating iView -
In the Content Admin role in PCD - Right click on the folder and create iView by chosing option of 'Portal Component - Now choose your PAR file (if deployed correctly it would appear in this list) - Now chose the Portal Component within your PAR for which you are creating the iView.
Create a Page -
In the Content Admin role in PCD - Right click on the folder and create Page and chose the right template (eg default page layout). After creation keep the page open. Now right click on the iView and add iView to Page via Delta Link.
Hope this helps !

Find exact RFC Destination for Multiple backend Systems In SAP Gateway

Hi Gateway developers,
I have requirement,if gateway hub system has multiple backend systems( for example two backend systems: ECC and SRM ) then how hub system can get the suitable backend alias for exact entity collection..
Here i have developed two entities one entity regards: ECC and second one regards SRM system..within this when I run the service it is always taking any of the same alias for both the collections..
Can you please suggest me..
Thanks
Sreenivas Pachva

Hi Srinivas,
You can add the respective system Alias Name: Like logical system name in your URI also.
Example:
/sap/Service Name;mo=ECCCLNT210/zentity1?Customer1='0001'
/sap/Service Name;mo=SRMCLNT400/zentity2?Customer2='ABCD'
May this help you.
Thanks,

Business Package ESS with more than one backend

Hi,
i need to implement a business package (ESS or MSS) two time in one portal system to access two backends. The portal landscape will completely be in the SAP standard, so we only want to implement a two system landscape (DEV and PROD) for the portal. On ERP side we have a three system landscape. So the aim is to implement the business package in the DEV portal two times and access both, the DEV and the QAS ERP system.
Are there any informations concerning this or has someone already performed this?
It think the steps are:
- Copy of the BP in PCD
- New Alias for the second system and change the alias at all PCD object in the copy
- Copy of the used JCo Destinations and adding them as a parameter to all iviews (the sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResourcesXYZ)
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Christian

I don't think you can do that for Jco Destinations.
You might create the copies of JCo Destinations.But you might need to change the new Jco names in the standard ESS/MSS Development Components which is quite difficult..
May be you can make JCo Destinations to point to Dev initially and then change it to quality for testing

WD Exception when pointing ESS Travel & Expense to multiple backend systems

Hi All,
I have a query regarding ESS Travel Management pointing to multiple backend systems.
ESS MSS is installed on a single portal(Portal1).
ESS MSS is currently pointing to Backend System1. The requirement is that ESS Travel from Portal1 should point to various multiple Backend Systems therefore making ESS Travel region-specific.
Is this possible? and if so what are the pros and cons?
This is what I have attempted:
1. Followed the documentation from "Multiple Back End Support for the Adaptive RFC Model" [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/af/84a34098022a54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
Therefore, I created 2 JCOs namely: SAP_R3_Travel_R1 and SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData_R1 pointing to Backend Sytem 2. SSO and JCO tests successfully.
2. On the iview properties for ESS Travel & Expenses, I added the following to the Application Parameters: sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Travel:_R1&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData:_R1
3. I additionally created a system in the Portal under System Configuration pointing to Backend System2 and adding the SAP_R3_Travel_R1 as the default System Alias. Do I need to add SAP_ITS_XSS and SAP_WebDynpro_XSS system alias, if so how since it is seeing as redundant because it is added in the system I created for Backend System1.
4. I then tested one of the ESS Travel & Expenses iviews. I have the following error:
Accessing System XYZ is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved using System ABC. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections properly. A Server restart may be necessary!
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Unable to define connector for multiple backend systems in BRM

Hi,
I am on GRCFND_A V.11 and SP04
I have multiple backend systems integrated with GRC box. So far I was using one backend connector as default one for role maintenance but it is not feasible if you have to create roles in variuos backend connected systems. I know one way to do so, i can keep changing the default connectors whenever i need to create roles but that is obviously not at all the onw any one would like to go with.
So, I tried to create unique connector groups for every individul backend connectors. But the issue is, the moment i assign the backend connector to the respective connector groups, the same gets reflected to other connector groups as well. So, whenever i either add or delete some of the connectors to any connector groups it gets modified/changed from all of the connector groups.
These are the backend connectors where i have to create roles from BRM whenever needed.
These are the connector groups:
I followed to the ink: GRC AC 10 BRM: Default Connectors with Multiple Back-end R/3 Systems , which is the same as mine issue, but not able to come to the solution point.
would appreciate for your quick response.
Thanks,
Ameet

Could anyone suggest solution to the above mentioned issue please?

New portal forum for business packages?

I think it might be useful to have a separate forum under the portals area for business packages. There is often confusion if a question is related to portal content or portal implementation and a separate forum would help this.
Cheers

Hi Marilyn and Uri
Potential forum name: Pre-packaged portal business content
Forum description: This forum is for discussing the installation and configuration of business packages mentioned in the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio">Portal Content Portfolio</a>. Topics might include licensing, portal version compatability, and back-end configuration.
Reason for separate forum: A lot of the business packages have a backend component or extra development requirements which goes beyond straight portal details. For example, the XSS (old ESS and MSS) make use of Web Dynpro for Java and some backend ERP or R/3 configuration.
The portal content development forum would still be aimed at those using the PDK and the portal implementation forum would be more about user management and PCD.
Cheers

UoM issue due to multiple backend systems

Hi All,
We have multiple backend systems hooked up with the SRM system. One issue that we have is that many of the UoMs are different in the backend systems. For example, for THOUSANDS, we have TH and THO in different systems. As part of optimization we intend to include only 1 entry per UoM in SRM box.
The problem is if we put TH as the unit, then if it is chosen by a user linked to the backend system that does not have this Commercial unit, then the Shopping Cart fails when trying to create a follow-on document.
Any advice how we can get this resolved will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
Common problem when using multiple back-ends, which can be resolved rather easily. The best way to solve this is by a business change. That isu2026. synchronize the use of the UoMu2019s throughout the organization. This would be the most elegant solution. All back-ends will then have the same valueu2019s in their respective CUNI tables.
Off course the feasibility of this will depend on your organizational structure and the hitting the u2018right stringsu2019 in order to get every one to understand the importance of this.
As a back-up an other solution would be to create a Z-table which will translate the UoM used in the SRM system to the corresponding UoM in the respective back-endsu2026.. The table will have three columns. u2018SRM UoMu2019 u2013 u2018Back-end Systemu2019 u2013 Back-end UoM. Depending on the implementation scenario U use, you can have the interface to the back-end carry out the translation. For this you can use the available Badiu2019s: BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW, BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW, BBP_CREATE_BE_RS_NEW
Downside of this solution will be the extra maintenance effort for the Z-table. Best choice in my perspective would be the business change.
Kind Regards,
Skander

Do we need to install SAP Portal for implementation of ESS & MSS

Hi All,
We are implementing SAP (ECC 6.0) for one of our client, Due to some contractual limitations, we do not want to implement SAP portal though it is a part of standard delivery, I want to know that is it absolutely necessary to install and implement SAP portal for implementation of ESS & MSS.
What i know and understand is that with the new architecture ESS & MSS can be deployed and accessed as a stand alone application on an internet browser by (Web dynpro client) without any need of enterprise portal. While ESS & MSS application can be hosted on Web application server.
Please validate my understanding if it is correct, Also does the new Web dynpro based client support all the functionality and authorization related issues for ESS & MSS ??
Regards
Amit Ajmera

Hi Amit,
Yes, you can run ESS/MSS as WebDynpro application without having to deploy on Portal. However, the look and feel and user accessibility is much better when deployed as Portal page. For WebDynpro, you will still need to publish the individual URL link to application somewhere...
Another point is that on portal you can deploy standard Business package specific to ESS and MSS which contains lots of readymade iviews/page/roles etc so it can reduce your development cost dramatically.
But, at the end it all depends on your individual requirement and project scope.
Cheers !!
Satya.

Problem with business packages ESS

Hi,
I have put in a EP6.0 SR1 a business packages ESS 50.4.
I have crated a systems SAP_R3_HumanResources, SAP_R3_Travel, SAP_R3_Cross and SAP_R3_Financials.
I asign the iView ESS to Rol Employee but when i go to Resum in the menu i get this error int the iView "Recording working times":
[Method connectToSAP(SAP_R3_Cross)] java.lang.Exception: R3_CONNECTION_FAILED
I have asigned the user to system SAP_R3_Cross.
The other parts of menu run good and i get data of system R/3.
Any idea with this error?

Hi Vincente,
You probably need to configure CATS (ITS). Please check the following link:

Programmatic access to multiple backend systems using adaptive RFC

Hello,
The following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/af/84a34098022a54e10000000a1550b0/content.htm talks about the support to map multiple backend systems by specifying the backend system as URL parameters in a webdynpro application.
For example:
http://<hostname>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/ESSProject/ESSApp?
sap.wdarfc.useSys=WD_MODELDATA_DEST:ABC&
sap.wdarfc.useSys=WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST:ABC
Is it possible to programmatically change the backend systems the application connects to? in other words can a single application while executing connect to different backend systems by dynamically changing the model parameters?
(This should be possible without the portal in the picture)
Cheers,
Praveen

Hi,
