Backend settings for ESS

Hi Experts,
I like to know about the backend settings for ESS.
If possible provide some links about "ESS backend settings".
Regards,
Krishna Balaji T

Hi Krishna,
For ESS in Backend you need to rember two things.
i) Home Page Customization where you need to create Resources, Areas, Subarea, Services, Area Groups and Assign Services to Subarea and Subarea to Area.
ii) For rest of the ESS applications like Time, Leave, Claims, Travel, Training, Reimbursements, Benifits and Payments, Pesronal Info you need to go to SPRO -> Personal management ->ESS -> Self-Service Settings

Language specific settings for ESS/MSS

Hello Experts,
I got a question on language specific settings on the portal:
1) Suppose i have configured my ESS/MSS BP and my settings are in English language. Now when i logged in to the portal and click, it is opened in English language only, but when i click on Leave Request page, this particular page is opened in some other language (i mean other than English), so what might be the problem and where are the settings needs to be done if i encounter these kind of errors.
Cheers
Vijay

Hi Vijay
There are so many things that could affect language here is the ones I am aware of
1) IE locale
2) JCO language setting
3) Forced Language in Iview itself
4) Missing translations in the translation cycle
5) Java Dictionary bugs see 1082994
6) WD JAVA runtime bugs see 1265969

Backend R/3 connectivity for ESS MSS from portal

Hi,
We are currently in development cycle for ESS/MSS based on portal EP 6.0 SP16 and ERP 2004 in backend. We are trying to find out how the ESS/MSS business package on portal works with backend ESS functionality in ERP 2004. It is more of a connectivity question. We want to know if we expose our portal to internet so that users can login to ESS/MSS from internet, do we need to put backend ERP (ECC 5.0) system also in DMZ? Do we need to open ports between portal and R/3 so that ESS/MSS can work? Or the communication happens using JCO connections and we need not to expose R/3 system.
Also one more specific question? If someone knows how ESS/MSS talks to backend system. At SAP application layer level or database level? I am asking this question to check if I need to open a port to talk to database or I can very well keep 2-3 SAP application server in DMZ and work.
PK

You need to look at the specific business package. For example, ESS for mySAP ERP 2004 says that the technology is Java / Web dynpro, which says that the Java engine uses RFCc to get the data from the backend.
Othe businesss packages may use ITS, which then needs another connection from the user to the ITS server.

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

Shopping Cart - Default Settings for items

Hi all,
We are on SRM 7.0 SP05 classic scenario with backend ECC 6.0 EHP4. There is a requirement to retain shopping cart default settings so that user is no need to enter default values on each shopping cart creation.
We are intent to develop a custom WDA for users to edit their own shopping cart default settings, the values will be saved to user position attributes and extended attributes (including some customized attributes) at PPOMA_BBP. After that, default settings will be copied from attribute during shopping cart creation, for example:
Item Basic Data: Product Category <== extended attribute "Product Category" value which is set as default
Account Assignment: Account Assignment Category <== attribute KNT which is set as default
Assign Number: Cost Center <== attribute CNT, Asset <== attribute AN1, WBS Element <== attribute PRO (plus two custom attributes to hold value of Internal Order and Network)
Here are the questions:
(1) For GL account, we did not config combination of Product Category and Account Assignment Category in SPRO, we will create a custom attribute as mentioned above. However, where can we insert our coding to copy custom attribute value to default setting during shopping cart creation? Is class /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_USER_CONTEXT a candidate? If yes, which method should be enhanced?
(2) For Delivery Address, if we do not use standard address management and maintain value at attribute ADDR_SHIPT, we intent to use similar approach: maintain custom attribute and then populate to default settings. The same question is where can we insert our coding to copy custom attribute values to default setting during shopping cart creation?
Thanks.
Regards,
Donald

Hi Lee,

Setting Up the System Landscape for ESS

Hello Experts,
I am implementing ESS in portal.
I am in step of defining systems in portal for ESS/MSS.
Below is link I am following from help.sap.com
[Link|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/5b/76a6d7fd3a4e91bfb422405bf3e04d/frameset.htm]
In above link it is mentioned that we have to define following systems :
SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
SAP_ECC_HumanResources
SAP_ECC_Travel
SAP_ITS_XSS
SAP_BSP_EREC
Additionaly according to below Article in SDN :
[Link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b2224432640a?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
Following additional systems must be created :
SAP_ITS_EBU Looks similar to SAP_ITS_XSS above
SAP_R3_Financials
Now the basis person in my project has handed over to me following systems :
SAP_BSP_EREC
SAP_ITS_FND Name mismatch as FND is used in place of XSS or EBU
SAP_R3_Financials
SAP_WebDynpro_ESS Name mismatch as ESS is used in place of XSS
Now below two systems are altogether missing as per first link on help.sap.com
SAP_ECC_HumanResources
SAP_ECC_Travel
Please explain if it requires to be corrected or name mismatch and missing ststems would do.
Thanking you in anticipation.

All the above names that you are referring to are not necessarily separate systems.
These are system aliases for a system object created in your portal via System Administration - System landscape.
So, if you have HR and Finance on the same backend server, then you need only one system with the related system aliases.
You will need SAP_BSP_EREC only if you are planning on using E-recruitment.
Similarly, you will need SAP_ITS_XSS only if you are planning on using any ITS applications.
It is pretty straight forward to change/correct the names of your system aliases instead of changing the usage of these aliases every where else.
SAP_ECC_HumanResources is absolutely necessary.
SAP_ECC_Travel is required if you are planning on using travel and expense related applications.
Also, note that SAP_WebDynpro_XSS should be the alias of the system where your webdynpro applications are deployed (typically the same portal server)

PDF not opening for ESS PZ11 Pay Stubs in ECC 5.0

We are in the process of converting from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. We use a few of the ESS applications including heavily-customized PZ11 to let our employees view their pay stubs. In ECC 5.0, the first time the Acrobat pay stub appears, it displays a very small, collapsed Acrobat with no trace of the pay stub showing. If you click on the Acrobat Print icon, it will print your pay stub. So Acrobat is not empty but it is collapsed.
If you click on one of the lines of the table view above the acrobat portion of the window listing pay periods, then the corresponding pay stub for that period appears full-blown in Acrobat.
When I do View Source for 4.6C and 5.0, the code is totally different, so I cannot pinpoint where the problem lies. Has anyone run into this problem, or have you encounted this collapsed Acrobat in any SAP web application?

Hi Janice,

Unable to create PO in backend system for a text material in Shopping cart

Hi All,
When I am approving a shopping cart with text material(ie without material/product/goods), I am getting PR instead of PO. Please explain the settings for getting PO.
Regards
SATYA

Hi,
SPRO--> SRM > SRM server> cross application basic settings --> Define objects in backend system (PR,RS,PO)
Always purchase requision
Or
PO if item data complete,other wise PR.
1. Enter the organizational unit and/or the category.
2. Enter a source system.
3. Choose the procurement type.
Reservation if stock is available, otherwise external procurement
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management and sufficient stock quantity is available in the warehouse on the requested date.
Always reservation for materials subject to inventory management
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management, irrespective of whether stock is available.
Always external procurement
The system does not create a reservation, but always procures the item externally. In this case, you specify the type of external procurement.
The following options are significant if the system cannot create a reservation (for example, if there is no stock available or for a non-stock item) or the system must not create a reservation (choose Always external procurement).
Purchase order if item data complete, otherwise purchase requisition
The system always tries to create a purchase order. If the item data is incomplete (for example, the vendor or price is not known), the system creates a purchase requisition from the item.
Always purchase requisition
The system always creates a purchase requisition.
Always local purchase order
The system always creates a local purchase order.

EA-HR                600       0064
For ESS MSS (both Generic & WDA),
1) Do we need to deploy EA-HR_MSS add-on on our backend ECC ? If yes, what would be the version ?
2) Based on the system we have, What are all Portal business packages (list) should we deploy into Portal? and sequence to follow?
we have different verions of (BP ERP05 ESS, BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS & BP ERP05 MSS ), which version has to be deployed ?
do I need mss add-on Portal business pack also??
3) Need to deploy HR Renewal and HR Administrator Business packages as well, so could you please advice what version needs to be installed ? Unable to find HR Renewal as a Business Package in the market place.
4) Any post-installation activity after importing the business packgages in portal ?
Many Thanks in Advance !!!

As you could see our SAP-HR, EA-HR LSOFE are still in 600 release. If we select the target package in MOPZ to the latest will it upgrade the SAP_HR 600, EA-HR 600& LSOFE 600 components to SAP-HR 604, EA-HR 606, LSOFE 606 ?
If I had to install HR-Renewal 1.0 I would need EA-HR 607 and LSOFE 607, so can that be included in the same stack ?
Please advice.

System configuration for ESS/MSS Implementation

Hi,
I am stuck while configuring the systems for XSS configuration. I have completed following:
1) Installed Portal 7.00 (based on NW2004s) which uses the backend ERP2005 system as a User Master source.
2) Implemented the business packages for ESS 1.0 (SP6), MSS 1.0 (SP6) and SAPPCUI_GP 600 (SP6).
3) Configured the SLD ( we have SLD running on a separate XI system)
4) Configured JCO destinations (tested ok).
5) Configured Systems for Portal and the ERP systems with system aliases.
    For Portal System:   I have only configured the WAS properties (i.e. hostname, path and protocol).and User management (using UDIPW as the logon method)
The system alias is SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
    For ERP System: I have configured connection, user management and W.A.S. properties. The system aliase is SAP_ECC_HumanResources
However, when I perform the connection tests for both systems, they both fail for "Connection Test for connectors" test. It gives the message "Connection failed. Make sure the user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Kristoffer,
I have tried as per your suggestion but it still gives an error.
The connector properties for my ERP system are as below:
Application Host : C1BL1 (also included the domain)
Gateway Host   : C1BL1
Gateway Service : sapgw00
Logical System Name   : ER1CLNT210
Remote Host Type - 3
SAP Client   : 210
SAP System ID (SID) : ER1
SAP System Number : 00
Server Port : 3200
System Type - SAP_R3
System aliases for ERP system are:
SAP_ECC_HumanResources and SAP_R3_Financials.
I have not maintained any W.A.S. properties for this system.
For my Portal system: WAS properties are:
Web AS Description : EP_Portal
Web AS Host Name : C1BL3:50100
Web AS Path   : /webdynpro/dispatcher/
Web AS Protocol - http
I had not maintained the connector properties for this system before, but I have now maintained as following:
Application Host : C1BL1 (also included the domain)
Logical System Name   : ER1CLNT210
Remote Host Type - 3
SAP Client   : 210
SAP System ID (SID) : ER1
SAP System Number : 00
Server Port : 3200
System Type - SAP_R3
The system alias for EP is: SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
In the UME configuration --> User mappings, I am using SAP_ECC_HumanResources system as the reference system.
Please let me know if you need more info.

Nilesh

Help with S_SERVICES configuration for ESS WebDynpro

In the authorization instructions for ESS MyERP2004, it is stated to add required services to the S_SERVICES. Many of the application components in the content administrator have a path longer than the field length to add these services.
Here is the example:
The service names must follow the naming convention <vendor>/<dc>/<Application>. Example: sap.com/ess~us/Per_Address_US
Has anyone completed this? I would appreciate some tips in completing this task successfully.
