Adding Additional Columns in ESS Leave Request iview ( EP 7.0)

Hi,
I have a requirement to add some additional fields to the Leave Request Iview. Can any one suggest me the best possible solution to add the fields 'Processed by' and 'Approved Date' to the iview?
Thanks in Advance,
VR.

Hi,
You can personalize Web Dynpro iViews. I have explained this in another topic (2nd post) : [Re: Remove colums in WD MSS teamviewer].
And the wiki contains useful information : [ESS Personal Information UI enhancement without modification|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/ESSPersonalInformationUIenhancementwithoutmodification].
If it is the Universal Work List iView you want to modify, you'll have to modify the UWL configuration.

Error in ESS Leave Request iView(Developed in ITS )

Hi,
I am using ECC 6 (upgrded from R/3 4.6 C) and EP 7.01. All iviews of ESS are developed in ITS.
In leave request iView when i am selecting the leave for certain period and clicking on send button it showing the message like "Logout successfully from Netweaver Web application server. But same reuest is working fine in older version.It showing the message like Process Leave Request.
The information was sent successfully .
I am very new in ITS application. Someone can help me in resolving this issuue.?
Thanks,
Kundan Kumar

You will soon realize that you need to upgrade your ESS applications (to webdynpro) as well.
A lot of configuration has changed from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 for ESS applications and it will be very difficult to trouble shoot issues (without SAPs support).
Here is a link that you can follow to verify the correct SP levels you need to be on:

Multiple Leave Request iviews in 1 portal instance

Hi Guys,
We are working on EP 7.0, I have 2 questions:
1st question:
current our portal is shared by 3 agencies (A, B,C), which maps with 3 clients (100, 200, 300) in R/3, and the three ESS Leave Request should looks different.e.g: for agent A, he wanna the input field changed to drop down, B wanna add radio button, C wanna add check box, which results in 3 different copies of standard DC "sap.com/esslea" which is the standard DC imported from NWDI, we may need to rename the copies into "AAA.com/esslea" , "BBB.com", "CCC.com/ess~lea", etc, as long as we have 3 different iviews for leave request, anyone knows how to do it? Keep the original DC unchanged, while create extra copies to add customized code.
2nd, any one knows where we can change the client that the Web Dynpro Java iview points to? Can we change in the source code?
Thanks with Rewarding points.
Regards,
Guo Feng

Enhancement in ESS Leave Request

Hi Gurus,
I am new to webdynpro Java. I have a requirement to add a custom button in a Standard ESS leave request (Webdynpro Java) view. When i click the the button it has to call popview(not sure is it possible to call a webdynpro abap view). If possible explain me with step by step preocedures(with screen shots).
Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi,
          Good, you are now able to do modification in Standard ESS package. If you want to navigate to another WDABAP iView from your WDJAVA application, you can use the below code on some button or link action to navigate to another iView.
Check this link:-
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html
public void onActionnavigateToToAbapiView(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionnavigateToAbapiView(ServerEvent)
     try
                    WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
                     "ROLES://portal_content/com.demo.DEMO_PCD/com.demo.ESS_SAP/com.demo.iview_ESS/demo.com.java_demo_com_demodc_demo_com_DemoApp",
                     WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                     "Window Title", WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
                     "Title",
                     "",//ContextURL
                     "param1=10&param2=portalID");
     catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
You will find your WDAbap PCD location in Content Admin, copy it and repace PCD: with ROLES at start.
also you can pass parameters between 2-iViews, in the above code snippet you can find that.
the above code needs to be written in your source iView so as to navigate to destination iView which is mentioned using its PCD location.
to retrieve the parameters you need to check ABAP syntax to retrieve URL parameters.
In java we retreive using below syntax:-
String param1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param1");
String loginID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param2");
to show it as a Pop-Up you need to find some work-around to achieve it, If i get time will do it and let you know, but if you find something for that do share.

Error after second level approval in ESS leave request

Hi Experts
I am using custom workflow for Ess Leave request process which is copied from WS21500001.
I have added custom class methods to change status from approved to sent.
Then another method i have set next appovaer.
The problem i m facing is that I am getting an error on portal after second approval approves the request.
i.e Field syomol has not been assigned yet.
from st22 i found its generating from
Include LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF06 - Form   execute_approver_update
By debugging i found that Its not getting next approval with status T as there is only first approval with status 'A'
This results in unassigned field symbol. and then error.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Please confirm why next approver is not found in method.

Hi All
Thanks for your reply.
I checked why it was giving a dump.
This execute_approver_update subroutine takes approval data from table ptreq_approver .
I filled this with resp actor id after request is approved and status is changed to sent.
For every emp its unique actor id is saved in ptreq_actor table agaist his pernr.
   SELECT SINGLE actor_id FROM PTREQ_ACTOR INTO actor_id WHERE objid = nextApprover_pernr.
    wa_appr-mandt = sy-mandt.
    wa_appr-request_id = Request_ID. "Req.requestID ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-version_no = version_no. "Req.Version ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-seqnr = seqnr. "Same as version no but in char
    wa_appr-approver_ins = actor_id. "Employee actor id from ptreq_actor
    wa_appr-status = 'T'. "Manual
    append wa_appr to it_appr.
    INSERT PTREQ_APPROVER FROM TABLE it_appr .
    commit work and wait.
This resolved my issue.
Thanks

ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

Hi,
a. SAP version being discussed
SAP ECC6.0
EP7.0
ESS/MSS
b. Here is the scenario
1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Rajesh

Please, can I take this question a little further.
Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
Cheers

ESS Leave request customer fields customization

Hi all,
I'm wondering how can add or modify the Data Type of one customer fields. I mean on the ESS leave request I need a customer field check box, or list of value for example.
I try to append a structure to table PTREQ_CUSTOMER_STRUC, but this table cannot be enchanced....
So any ideas?

ESS leave request issue?

Hi Gurus,
I have an requirement where in which if employee enters (Employee total working hours is 8 hours per day) 4 hours in the hours column of the ESS leave request page.
He has to get 0.5 days in the no of days column in the ESS leave request page.
Then if employee choose the leave type as Sick Leave (It will be generic in standard ESS) he has to get the column where in which he can enter the reason for the same.
EP 7.0 and backend is ECC6.0 and am using ESS/MSS 60.2 business package.
Is there any patch is avaiable to incorprate the above requirement into standard ESS/leave request page.
Higher points will be rewarded for valuble inputs.......
This is very urgent requirement............
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Issue with ESS Leave request workflow - Deleting a leave request

Hi friends,
This is my scenario: An employee has created a leave request from ESS - Leave Request Workflow(Copy of WS12300111) gets triggered and work item gets created in manager's UWL. After that the employee realizes he has created a wrong leave request so he deletes that leave request from ESS. In this case the workflow instance which got triggered when he created the leave request is under process and the work item stays in the Manager's UWL( there is no terminating event or wait for event step in the approval step of workflow WS12300111), when the Manger opens that work item it shows a blank column, ideally speaking when the leave request is deleted by the employee the work item in the manger's UWL should be logically deleted and the workflow should complete, but this part is not handled in the standard workflow WS12300111as well. How to handle this case. I can put a wait for event or a condition to complete a work item at the approval step but i would like to know how the standard ESS leave request framework works in this case. Please advice.

Hi sapient
This is not handled in std. You have clear the next processor in your in method then only the work item will get vanished from the UWL. For clearting the next processor either you can create a method in your BOR and get the request id. For the request id get the max version and clear the next processor or in the BADI you have wirte your own logic when the change happens what you have to do. This logic has to be written in you BADI. I thing BADI will start with PT_ check with that name in se18
You cannot use wait for event or terminating event since its not R/3 workflow its ESS workflow you cannot use ternminating event or wait step.

Link for ESS leave request?

Hi,
Can some one tell me how to display Ess leave request form ( THR10_1, Lesson Time Data figure 74)
Ejaz

Hello,
It's not a form, it's an Iview. You can access the Iview in 2 ways:
1. Via Content administrator, on the following path:
Portal Content
Content Provided by SAP
End User Content
Employee Self-Service
iViews
Working Time
Leave Request
2. Via Portal Directly, on Links:
ESS -> Working Time -> Submit Leave Request
(opc). Or via the Service directly. But this is only used for testing purposes. You can access the service via the following url:
http://HOST:PORT/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequest

ESS Leave Request - Custom validations

Hello all,
As I understand SAP does not perform any custom validations (which we might have coded within the PBAS0001 enhancement OR the HRPAD00INFTY business add in) when requesting a absence from ESS~LEA leave request iView from the portal.
Hence to validate the absence record, I attempted to insert the HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION function module and run it in CHK operation mode to validate the data in the PT_GEN_REQ~START_WF business add in method.
If the validation fails I return RETURN_CODE as non-zero from the business addin. However I keep getting a dump as a result.
Can anyone advice if this has been tried successfully and any alternate if @ all?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aditya
