Accessing ESS and MSS Portal from home PC

If an employee wants to check there vaction and sick balance from there home PC.
Or they need to enroll a member of their family into a benefits program.
All they need is the proper version of the Web browser.
Or will you need to install the SAP Client.

Also I feel that the thread poster has to take help from his Security & ABSIS folks for the constraints. Just Portal on Internet would not suffice, I think he will need to expose R/3 outside firewall as well.
If answer is NO to expose ECC then I think they need to setup two web dispatchers protecting EP and ECC servers behind firewall.
User -> Web Dispatcher1 -> Portal (behind fiirewall) -> Accesses ESS iViews -> Web Dispatcher 2 -> ECC (behind firewall)

  • Configuration of ESS and MSS in Portal for HCM

    Hello Friend's,
            This is suresh calling for clarifications and doubts in HCM...   see i'm new to portal, but my requirement is to configure ESS and MSS for HCM... i dont know actually wat needs to be done and the way of approach... these are the doubts,
    1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
    2.  I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
    3.   a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether    i  need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
         b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
    I dont know basic steps .... plz help me ... Thanks i advance...........!

    Ok. Here are the answers:
    1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
       > Download ESS/MSS Business Package, it has two parts Business Package for ERP 2005 (Contains iviews, Roles etc) and XSS 5.0 or 6.0 depending upon the version of the ECC.
      > Make sure that you have SAP_HR and EA_HR component installed on your ECC box.
      > Also make sure that there is no compatibility mismatch between version of SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS.
      > Configure the JCo Destinations, create required system definition and establish SSO between ECC and Portal.
      > Assign the role to the users
    > After doing these steps you can see the SAP provided iviews etc working PROVIDED configuration on HR side are already done.  (This is just to get initial configuration work)
    2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
    > Provided by Bala above
    3. a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether i need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
    > Look for that application in WebDynpro (identify the component from iView properties) and show it to the client.
    If they are Ok with the basic things then fine else they need to specify the kind of customisation they want in this component
    Options available if we need to modify the components
    >>Copy the component in your namespace and do the modification using NWDINWDS
    >>If some field need to be disabled, you can do the same using Self service administration.
    b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
    Hope this helps. ...

  • Versions of ESS and MSS business packages

    I have just installed EP6.0 SP2 on J2EE 6.2.  I have R/3 systems 4.6C and 4.7.  Which versions of the iviewstudio business packages for ESS and MSS should I install?

    Gary,
    If you have access to sdn, you can check the Portal Content Portfolio (from SDN home), --> Search Content Portfolio (on right pane/nav) and you will get the People Centric Search screen.
    Within the search criteria's you can choose by selecting Business Package, or globally search by EP 6.0.

  • Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

    Hi Experts,
    This is the first time I am going to deal with
    ESS and MSS.
    I have some basic questions about it and they are
    listed below:
    1. In an organization if they want to integrate
    ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
    is, will they install the packages in the R/3
    system and then use the to portal features to
    make iViews of ESS and MSS.
    2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
    and the R/3 system
    3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
    iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
    MSS applications, if yes how?
    4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
    ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
    Please do let me know on these subjects and also
    if anyone of you have any links or documents
    associated with this scenario please do send me.
    Thank you
    Regards
    Luke

    Hi,
    here is what I know..
    1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
    3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.
    ent
    4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
    You can find all the  different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.

  • Performance in ESS and MSS

    Dear Expert,
    Is there any specific performance recommendations for ESS/MSS content being accessed over WAN.
    Best Regards,
    Deepak..

    There are no specific performance recommendations for ESS and MSS itself.
    Since the source code is already delivered by SAP, we can assume that the coding has been done keeping performance in mind.
    The only suggestion I can make here is try to make your portal landing page a simple html file which would not require a backend call. This will improve the time taken for the initial portal landing page to load.
    The standard homepage framework based ESS and MSS landing pages need to make a backend call for loading the landing page also.
    You can look at the general recommendations to improve portal performance and your network performance.
    I believe you can find tons of information on improving portal performance tuning here on SDN.
    Thanks,
    Shanti

  • Changing ESS and MSS Pictogram

    I am trying to changing the standard icons that came with ESS and MSS business package with custom icons.
    I have places my custom icons - using SE80 and going to MIME repository and saved it there.

  • BP ESS and MSS

    Hello,
    I have SAP ERP 6.0 and portal 7.0 with ESS and MSS versión 1.0. We need to update to the versión 1.41 but in this link says that is required the EHP4 in the ERP. Is that true do we have to upgrade the ERP first?
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/76/77594d165144a1a9bff9aae1e26b26/frameset.htm
    Please help me with this.
    Regards

    Just to note ---> In WD ABAP there is still dependanices between software components for example BP HRA 1.11 is WD ABAP - there is still key dependancies between BP HRA, SAP_HR, EA_HR and SAP_BASIS
    Also moving to 1.4 is considered a move to EHP4 - which means moving ECC to EHP4 as well  - however this applies evern for current WD ABAP products - for example if you want BP HRA 1.41 (WD ABAP) you will also need EHP4 in the back-end (as per note 1375308) so the architecture is very similiar
    Whether EHP5 changes all this is not yet clear
    Best wishes

  • Hide certain services in ESS and MSS

    Dear friends
    We want to hide certain services in ESS and MSS we are on ECC 6.0 and EP 7.0
    In ESS  career and job, purchasing, work environment, life and work events, corporate information
    In MSS we want to hide Budget, Projects, Planning
         In Team also we want to hide services like employee working time (approve time sheet data), performance management, competency management, hcm process and forms, in recruitment (create new candidate assessment), organization
    Please let me know where and how to hide these services in ESS and MSS
    Thank you

    Hello,
    For hiding the links in both ESS and MSS, you need to make changes in Home Page Framework.
    For this go to transaction SPRO and navigate to
    Cross-Application Components - Home page Framework.
    I suggest not to delete the standard one instead see and create new iView with new parameters.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers-
