Basic manager/employee role with MSS/ESS content

hey
which role should I give my manager/employee in the R/3 system so they got the right permission?
Now I have to add SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW to there profiles or I get error messages saying they don't have the right permission.
In the portal my manager has rol com.sap.pct.mss.manager
and my employee has rol com.sap.pct.ess.employee_self_service
thanks in advance

hi lien
u can assign SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP role to employee which is composite role.
which contain following role.
SAP_BC_EMPLOYEE
SAP_BC_ENDUSER
SAP_ESSUSER_ERP
SAP_HR_EMPLOYEE_DE_ERP
SAP_HR_EMPLOYEE_US_ERP
SAP_HR_PA_XF_EXPERT
mainitian the authorization for all role using tcode-pfcg, generate the profiles and completet the user comparisation.
if u don't have the full authorization for PFCG ask ur basis person to do this.
(this is usefull to RUN ESS from portal)
or if u used custom role than
make sure your user will need authorization object (S_SERVICE)
add this object in the Role that u used. (PFCG)
if u have any query revert me back.

Portal role in MSS/ESS

can we use the new MSS/ESS without the Portal? the new MSS/ESS are based on WebDynpro, and WebDynpro applications run as stand-alone J2EE applications.
thanks in advance

The new MSS/ESS based on web dynpro is tightly integrated with Enterprise Portal and utilizes a lot of functionality from portal. So while it may be theoretically possible to access some parts without portal, but for production use one is better off with going the integrated with portal route.

Performance management with ONLY ESS and NO MSS??

Hello Gurus,
I have a very peculiar scenario regarding and ESS/MSS.
Let me first post our requirments:
We have implemented all modules of HR along with OM and now in the process of implementing Performance Management along with ESS only . I am stressing on ESS only here with NO MSS functionality.
Now my question is..is it really possible in the first place to have a performance management functionality without MSS and just with standalone ESS? If yes, what are the options that I have to configure the performance management system and the ESS system so that the workflows for Planning, Rating an employee, and Approvals regarding appraisals can be achieved??
Is it possible to assign an ESS role to the manager and then when the manager logs in ESS, he/she can go ahead with the performance management process and can check employees just like the way it happens in MSS?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Best Regards.
Karan.

Dear Karan,
Firstly, it is not mandatory to implement MSS for approvals/notifications...
Manager in MSS term is used to refer Head of Unit (in general) and not the immediate supervisor, i.e, relation ship (012).
UWL - Universal Work List is the place where all work items for approval is listed and this can be activated in ESS with out using MSS functionality also.
Comming to Performance Managment: Yes it can be acheived. NO MSS is required for Appraisals.
if you are using BSP applications, there are different pages available for employee view, and manager view..\
all that u need to do is, use the appropriate pages in the links that you gonna provide in ESS>Performance Management.
SAP has given provision to create your own notifications (workflow) in configurations. Create a Z Event and ask your ABAPer to send a notification based on that Z Event. This all is standard.

WebDynpro ESS content pages with ECC6 backend blank while loading (hanging)

Hello all.
I am implementing ESS on a newly installed NetWeaver 2004s SP10 Java Server with portal and existing ERP2005 / ECC6 backend.
Whenever it comes to the concrete pages, e.g. own address or WhoIsWho, the pages remain blank while loading. The "progress bar" in the Browser status frame moves forward a bit and then seems to hang.
I know this issue was asked in some other threads but I couldn't find the concrete ansewer to my situation.
My steps:
1) Deployment: XSS (PCUI_GP) 07, ESS 07, ESS BP 07, all last SP
2) Portal systems as mentioned in ESS docu: I configured all system parameters but the connection tests fail for the J2EE and the "R/3" system, is that a problem?
3) JCO definition: all tests successfull, even SSO.
4) ECC6: demo users linked to employees, given the neccessary(?) permissions (mainly ESS role profiles and S_Service authorization as I found that in another thread)
5) Portal / PCD permissions for the ESS user: on the ESS root folder, on the systems and even on the "Content prov. by SAP" folder, where I don't want them...
What I missed regarding some other posts:
I did not configure the portal content in the IMG of the backend under Personal Management->ESS. Do I have to?
There are some Service Keys predefined but not all like in the ESS docu, e.g. the one for WHOSWHO is not there like spelled in the docu. Do I have to define it?
If so, what are the correct keys and parametets, since I can't find it in the ESS docu.
Please can someone give me a complete example for one application function with the Service Key and all service parameters like path, object, pcd url?
On top of each application section in the ESS docu is a technical description. Are these the entries for service definition? But not all fields are matching, an example which data belongs to which field in the service definition would be helpfull.
Or did I miss something else?
Where are the log files located to find additional info (I'm relatively new...)
Thanks in advance
Carsten

Thanks for the tool, Darren. I may try it in future.
I solved it:
After setting up some general permissions of the Portal-Content folders in reference to a Portal post-install guide, the "Everyone" default group was missing on the ESS content folder because the permissions were not inherited any more.
I added "ESS role" permissions before but not "Everyone" group. I guess "Everyone" is needed for some general content included in the iviews. After adding "Everyone" with eu-role to ESS content folder (and srvcfg) it worked.

Carsten

How to change HR assignment for BP with employee role in CRM

Hi,
we download employees from R3 HR into CRM. By mistake, some duplicates BP were created. we want to change the assignment with the BP employee in CRM and the employee in R3. In other word, to remove the personnel number ID stored in CRM and to add this personnel ID to others BP in CRM.
For example:
In CRM, BP 100 does not have a personnel number assigned to his employee role.
In CRM, BP 101 (duplicate of BP 100) is assigned to the personnel number 345 from the employee in R3.
We'd like to assign the personnel number 345 to BP 100 and remove the link with HR in BP 101.
is it possible? where is this assignment stored - In R3&HR or in CRM?
can you guys share your experience on how to resolve this
thanks in advance

Hi,
We can assing the CC in two ways.
1. is for position.
2. or for a Org unit.
In your case if it is for Position. GOTO PP02 enter the details as
Plan Version    HI
Object Type     s
Object ID       50018133
Object abbr.
Infotype        1001
Subtype         A011
Planning status 1
Validity        06/23/2008 to     12/31/9999
Data sample.
Then goto change and change the CC. this will also updates the IT0001.
If not, You can also change through Org unit.
Where goto PPos_old> select the org unit> then goto staff assignments> select the required position> and there is a option called goto from top menu> there you can check accoutn assignment> there you will get diff screen to be displayed--> there select the position if you want to change and select the option maste cost center and change the CC by giving dates, this will also updates the IT0001.
Reward me if hleps.
Thanks,
Vasu.

Problem with images in content management portlet

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the content management portlet provided with Bea WLP 8.1 SP4, but I've a problem with the images (they're not displayed at all, only a lot of red "X"s). Some how it seems to be a problem with the Taglib render. It tries to get the resourceRootPath to post it in front of the src path in the image tag and it always includes the parameter that are in the URL.
I followed the instructions in the help of workshop, so I think I've imported every needed files. Moreover, the images are in the right folder tree. The wired thing is, that the My Content Portlet works fine.
Any help for a newbie???
Cheers,
Cord

Hi Cord,
I was having that same problem, and I couldn't find anything on this website either. I tried creating a new portal project and following the directions exactly again, but it didn't work there either. It works in the sample portal.
So I contacted BEA Support, and they were able to provide me with a solution:
The file url-template-config.xml (in the WEB-INF directory) has to be modified and have the {url:currentPage} parameter removed in order to get the images working for the content management portlet. For now, do this only in the section . Leave the other places like in WSRP etc as it is.
I actually took it out of the WSRP places too, by accident, but I don't use WSRP anyway, and everything else seems to be working fine. And the images show up!
Hope this works for you too,
Beth

Unable to see ESS content with an end user

Hi All,
When I try to see my ESS content with an end user, it is giving me the following error:
com.sap.xss.config.FPMConfigurationException: Read of object with ID portal_content/com.sap.pct/srvconfig/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.skills/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.fpmapplications/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.skillsapplication failed.
Part of the stack trace also says,
Caused by: com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PermissionControlException: Access denied (Object(s): portal_content/com.sap.pct/srvconfig/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.skills/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.fpmapplications/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.skillsapplication)
It is coming for all the applications in ESS.
I think it is a permission issue, so i gave the end user permission to the user in the PCD as well in the directory where all my ess contents have been kept.But still it doesn't work.
And only when I assign the end user with Admin right, it works which should not be the case.
Kindly suggest a possible solution for this.Your efforts will be appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Friend,
Could please let me know , how you have solved this issue.
I am alos facing the same

Integrate IdM roles with Sun Access Manager roles

Hi all,
I am currently working on a solution involving Sun Identity Manager 7.1 and Sun Access Manager 7.1 as well. We use AM for overall authentication and SSO across the application, and IdM for user provisioning.
I need to create roles in Identity Manager, and I would like that when I assign a role to a user in Identity Manager, he gets the same role in my Access Manager repository (Sun LDAP). Identity Manager does provide a way to set attribute values in resources when a role is set. Access Manager on the other hand has both dynamic roles, based on an LDAP search, and static roles.
What are the important differences between static and dynamic roles in AM?
Does anybody know a good way to propagate roles from Identity Manager to Access Manager?
Thanks.

I found answers to my question. I succeeded in setting the Access Manager role from Identity Manager using the nsRoleDN attribute. Here are some references to begin with:
About directory server roles:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2493/fvbrn?a=view
Forum thread reference:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5208694
Here are roughly the steps I followed to get this working.
Access Manager roles setup:
1. In Access Manager, create a new static role named test_role under the identities realm (in Subjects > Role).
Identity Manager roles setup:
1. Create a new role in Identity Manager: tab Roles, click New....
2. Assign the LDAP resource to synchronize the role with.
3. On the Assigned Resources line, click the Set Attributes Values button. This shows up the attributes listing allowing you to bind your IdM role to your LDAP repository.
4. Set the attribute nsRoleDN to the LDAP DN of the role that was created in AM (nsRoleDN must be added in the resource attributes mapping before).
* In the column Value override, select Text.
* In the column How to set, select Authoritative merge with value, clear existing. (* See IDM Admin guide about this setting, I am still not sure how it reacts with multi-value attributes)
* In the text box, enter the role DN text (ex: cn=test_role,dc=com).
5. Save the role. You can now add the role to a user.

Is it possible to translate MSS/ESS WDJ content without using NWDS?

Hi there, is it possible to translate MSS/ESS WDJ content without using NWDS? CTRL+Right Click allows only to hide the text element, portal content translation doesn't allow to translate Web Dynpro Java content.

Hi,
Using CtrlRight click you can modify the names, hide the text . on the ESS/MSS ivew's preview and cTrlright cllick.
then you will get options to hide,change the text . etc.
For deploying,changing the WDJ files you need NWDS. without NWDS it's not possible

Integrate Siebel eService (8.0) with Oracle Enterprise Content Management

We are planning to integrate Siebel eService (8.0.0.10) with Oracle Enterprise Content Management. Has anybody did this integration in past and give us some suggestions.

Hi,
Oracle SQL Net Connect String is the entry in TNSNAME.ORA file which identifies your Oracle Database SID.
e.g.
ORCL_SBA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = host.com)
(PORT = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_SBA)
Here, the Oracle SQL Net Connect String is: ORCL_SBA. Net Connect String is utilized to directly connect with the Database, without any Driver being interfaced in between.
While, ODBC DSN is a all together different stuff. You create ODBC DSN using "Data Sources (ODBC)" Utility under Administrative Tools. Here you need to specify a Driver to Connect to the Database, which should be the Siebel Oracle Driver Provided by DataDirect Technology.
Hope this clears your confusion.
Oracle SQL Net Connect String & ODBC DSN are two different stuff, used for different reasons.
As Robert said, you need to read the Installation Guide more thoroughly for understanding the nuances of Siebel Installation.
Thanks,
Shalabhsneha

Role Menu for ESS (WDA) in SAP NWBC

Dear experts,
I am implementing ESS&MSS using SAP NWBC. For this use the following documentation:
Configuration of the Role Menu for ESS (WDA) in SAP NWBC - SAP Documentation
SAP delivers the composite role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_2.
1. Call up transaction PFCG and create or copy your customer-specific role based on the standard shipped composite role for ESS (WDA), SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_2 in the customer name space (Z_*.
I have copied this role with the singles roles
My first question: Should modify my composite role for add a new folder that content two applications WDA customer or this should do it in the single role ? How Can do it?
My second question:
What I dont can display the folder in top screen "Employee Self-Service"---"Employee Self-Service XX"---"Employee Self-Service2"(See Image leff)
Thanks

Hi Armin,
For NWBC you must place transactions under the second folder down (or at least this is how its works for NWBC for ERP roles). Standard NWBC roles have 'Role menu' as top folder and then (generally) one main folder under that - like 'Purchasing'. Transactions should go under this folder or under subsequent sub-folder.
There are additional parameters using right click 'Details for Net Weaver Business Client' under PFCG also - but assume your documentation has explained this to you.

Craig

I set a breakpoint on RFC HRXSS_PER_READ_P0002_ES. It only stops on the breakpoint when we are in the view option.
When I had the ESS inside the SAP 6.00 it was running correctly, but now that I uploaded the version to 6.04 (EHP4) where I had to include the EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_ES_SERVICE_13 services along other services(PERSDATA).
The only service I had to include where Im finding problems is EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_ES_SERVICE_13.
Its showed in the Error I put above, that it is trying to find u201CSubtypeu201D.
In the SAP 6.00 version I was setting the subtype option in the "specify use case and active subtypes" option but now I donu2019t find this option. Only a new option appears called "Determine Active Subtypes and Make Settings".
I hope you could help me to solve this problem, thanks.

@Kirsten
I enter a record of V_T588MFPROPC, result is the same (error: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0)
@Sergio:
I reviewed the Portal Content,
I look the role folder ESS in case the "Personal Information" Personal Data

I look the EHP4 folder in case "Personal Information" > Personal Data
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4469/myrole14.jpg (My EHP 4.0 folder)
Both are different because the EHP4 contains the number 14 which I presume is the version, but this version is not replicated in the Role folder
In this part, I show the "User Management" option
In case the ESS, once record.

MSS/ESS in Europe

Do you know that Bosnia and Azerbaijan have country MSS/ESS portal screens as part of the offering?
Edited by: Magdalena Wlodarz on Sep 25, 2009 1:12 PM

HI,
Check it out by following infomration
Country-Specific Services
Use
In this IMG activity, you define country-specific services. When an employee starts a service, the system determines the employee's country grouping and checks if there is a country-specific service definition in the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views.
If there is a country-specific service definition, the system uses this definition.
If there is no country-specific service definition, the system uses the general service definition in the V_T7XSSSERSRV and V_T7XSSSERSRVC views. If the general service definition does not contain a resource object, the system does not display the service (see example 2).
This enables you to define country-specific variations of services for certain countries while using a general service definition for all other countries.
Activities
Examples
Example 1
Your company has employees in seven different countries:
Germany (01)
Austria (02)
Switzerland (03)
Canada (07)
USA (10)
(Number in brackets = country grouping)
The service for displaying a salary statement is the same for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. For Canada and the USA, you need services with additional content.
You define a general service for displaying the salary statement in the V_T7XSSSERSRV and V_T7XSSSERSRVC views.
You define two additional services for the country groupings 07 and 10 in the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views.
When an employee from Germany, Austria or Switzerland starts the service for displaying salary statements, the system uses the service definition in the V_T7XSSSERSRV and V_T7XSSSERSRVC views.
When an employee from Canada or the USA starts the service for displaying salary statements, the system uses the service definition in the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views.
Example 2
Your company has employees in two different countries:
Germany (01)
Switzerland (03)
(Number in brackets = country grouping)
There is a service that is only relevant for employees from Switzerland.
You define a general service without a resource object in the V_T7XSSSERSRV and V_T7XSSSERSRVC views.
You define a country-specific service with a resource object for country grouping 03 in the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views
This service is only displayed for employees in Switzerland.

E-recruimtment: Question about landscape standalone with MSS

Hi Roman,
For security reasons the choice for the landscape standalone is the best.
But in documentation of SAP we have read that the Manager view isn't possible in a standalone landscape.
ERP installation (Recruiting as integral part of the ERP solution)
- Required for MSS Manager Role integration and ESS integration
Did you ever had set up a configuration in standalone with the manager view ? Or have you reliable information about the combination landscape - manager view ?
Kind Regards
Pascale
