Benefits administration in ESS - EHP5 using NWBC roles

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out if the Benefits Administration functionality in ESS can be run without SAP EP, using NWBC roles in EHP5.
It seems that this ESS functionality has not been migrated yet to Webdynpro ABAP.
Can anyone confirm this?
Do you know of any alternative to using this functionality in this context (SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 without SAP EP)?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Angel

Benefits functionality is not released under EhP5. The Benefits
functionality will be available under EhP6.
There is no alternative without SAP EP as it is tied to java role
Services available in Employee self-service (WDA) is listed here:

Employee Search
Who is who
Enrollment and related applications (Enrollment, Open enrollment,
Participation overview, Benefits participation)
Skills Profile and Matchup
Sample processes for "Life and work events"
In EhP5, ESS role contains applications developed on webdynpro
ABAP technology - ESS ABAP role.
In ECC 6.0, ESS role contains applications developed on webdynpro
Java technology - ESS Java role .
These are 2 different roles but both of them are supported by
SAP portal.
Benefits Participation Overview was part of ESS Java role which is
in ECC 6.0 but the participation overview application was not
added to ESS ABAP role in EhP5.
Hence, you won't see it in the ESS ABAP role which is in EhP5.
If you want to see the participation overview application you
need to assign the old ESS Java role. This means user would
have 2 ESS roles:
1) ESS Java Role(ECC 6.0).
2) ESS ABAP Role(EhP5).
Once you assign the old ESS Java role you would again see the
participation overview application under Benefits area page.

Benefits services (WD Java) in EhP5 using NWBC

Hi,
We are using NWBC to acces WDA portal application... They seems to work fine, however, the Benefits applications are still in WD for Java.
Is there a way we can access these Benefits applications using NWBC (for html)? We are using EhP5.
I am told that Benefits services will be available in WDA in EhP6 but thats too long of a wait...
Could anyone suggest how to get around this and what techniques you guys used to get around this problem.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Sid,
Do you know if there are any alternatives to get BN enrollment on NWBC...
We are thinking about
1) Custom WDA application (more like vanilla flavor) of what SAP is releasing in EhP6
2) Create Adobe Interactive Form to complete enrollment (But I hear you need Java for that and we do not have Javas stack yet)
3) offline form - manual process
But we are not sure what are the precautions for each options...
Are there other options?

New Appraisal system using EHP5 and NWBC

Hello Experts,
Can we implement new appraisal system using EHP5 and NWBC client without a portal?
Sorry, i am raising this question again But after finding out that the new ESS works without portal using NWBC, i was wondering if the same is applicable to appraisal systems as well?

The only changes in PMS in EHP5 pertain to the pre-defined template. If you are using (as is most likely) the flexible template in your implementation, there is no relevant enhancement in EHP5.

ESS EHP5

Hello Gurus,
I new to sap and completely new to sap ess...can someone pls help me sap EHP5 details...which has the technical details as well like technical name of iviews...standard roles etc...
regds,

The first thing you should consider is that there are several platforms available to run ESS in EHP5
1) Webdynpro ABAP EHP5 business package with a Portal
2) Webdynpro Java EHP4 business package on a Portal - EHP5 unswitched
3) Standalone EHP5 NWBC role - without a Portal - new concept
Firstly decide which version and platform you want to implement - also bear in mind that you can mix content from different BPs
but WDJ content is only available with a Portal installation
To help you choose what ESS version/content you want look at the Business Package documentation for ESS BP 1.4 or BP 1.5 as follows
For ESS EHP4 Business Package content -->

NWBC Roles

Hi Experts,
First of all I am functional consultant and need help in identifying the roles for NWBC 3. I am planning to use the new functionality in EHP4 called Reporting Financials 2 (see link below). It uses something called "Report Launchpad', do you know which roles in NWBC would call this report lauchpad? And one of the prequisites says "You have activated the BI Content of InfoArea Reporting Financials (EHP4)", could you please provide some information or guide me on how to do this.
And also are there any places where i can find NWBC roles pertaining to FICO and FSCM?

Hi,
Try this hope this will help you..
Go to the T.code RSA1 then select BI Content..

How to trace the missing authorizations using NWBC at object level

Hi all,
In SAP R/3 any authorization issue can be tracked down till authorization object level using SU53 tcode and ST01 tcode.
1 - I have a super user who has all the roles in Solution manager system and test user which I created with just 1 role Incident management role. But when I login with Super user ID I can see in tcode (WDY_APPLICATION - Incident Management ) I have 4 tabs (Overview,Messages,Reports and Queries) but when I execute the same tcode using test ID I can only see Overview and Messages tab. Report and Query tab were missing . Please advice on how to trace the missing authorizations using NWBC at object level? or how to solve this issue......
2 - How to add a Web dynpro Transaction code (example WDY_APPLICATION - Incident Management )while building a role in PFCG?

To run OHS at port 80 using solaris role based access control

Hi.
I already know & have done setuid root to ohs/bin/.apachectl to allow ohs to listen to port 80. Now on a new OFM 11.1.1.4 install, I want to use Solaris Role Based Access Control (RBAC) instead. Is it possible? RBAC does work as I can run a home built apache2 httpd at port 80 withOUT suid root.
On Solaris 10, I enabled oracle uid to run process below port 1024 using RBAC
/etc/user_attr:
oracle::::type=normal;defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr
Change OHS httpd.conf Listen from port 8888 to port 80.
However, opmnctl startproc process-type=OHS
failed as below with nothing showing in the diag logs:
opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
================================================================================
opmn id=truffle:6701
0 of 1 processes started.
ias-instance id=asinst_1
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
ohs1/OHS/OHS/
Error
--> Process (index=1,uid=187636255,pid=25563)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Thx,
Ken

Just to add my two cents here.
The commando used on Solaris to assign the right privilege to bind TCP ports < 1024 is:
# usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,*net_privaddr* <your_user_name>
Restart the opmnctl daemond.
After that OHS/Apache user can bind to lower TCP ports.

When to use "my role" and "partner role" in BPEL?

I'm a bit confused when to set/use partner role and my role.
Can anyone shed a little light,
regards, Henrik

Saurabh,
> I humbly disagree with your explanation of inputs
No need to be humble, you can boldy disagree. :)
You're right that I did technically use the wrong term in that sentence of my explanation. I updated the post and corrected it. However the gist of what I was saying is still true.
There are two invocation types. People use different terms but here I'll call them request-response and one-way. A request-response invocation type is used for what we typically think of as a "synchronous" process. That is, the service consumer is blocked until the service responds. It's like methodA() in Java calling methodB(). methodA() is blocked until methodB() completes. (In fact, this is exactly what it's like since all invocations on our BPEL engine ultimately go through our Java API.)
In the case of one-way, the service consumer is not blocked. This is often referred to as fire-and-forget. It simply sends its request, then it is free to continue or do whatever it wants. Moreover, nothing is returned to the client (you fired-and-forgot, remember). Typical "asynchronous" BPEL processes uses this invocation type.
So we have those two invocation types. Yet the problem before us how to have an asynchronous process return a result. You can't use request-response because the service consumer is blocked until the process finishes. You can't just use a one-way because nothing is returned to the caller. What to do?
The way the BPEL standard solved the problem is to use two one-way invocation types. The first one is to invoke the process. The second one is a one-way from the BPEL process to the service consumer to return the result. There are some glaring implications of this:
1. When the BPEL process returns it's result, things have now switched: The BPEL process becomes the service consumer, and the (original) service consumer becomes the service.
2. The service consumer has to be able to listen for one-way invocation type requests.
3. The BPEL process has to know how and where to call the service consumer back. This information is passed in the original request. As well as containing the data payload, it contains a callback address and unique identifier. This, in essence, is what the WS-Addressing standard is about.
Now the definition of a one-way invocation type in a WSDL is:
    <portType name="aaa">
        <operation name="bbb">
            <input message="tns:ccc"/>
        </operation>
    </portType>Compare that to a request-response invocation type:
    <portType name="aaa">
        <operation name="bbb">
            <input message="tns:ccc"/>
            <output message="tns:ddd"/>
        </operation>
    </portType>Let's look again out our example WSDL:
    <portType name="SelectService">
        <operation name="processRequestQuote">
            <input message="tns:RequestQuote_processRequestQuote"/>
        </operation>
    </portType>
    <portType name="SelectServiceCallback">
        <operation name="processRequestQuoteResponse">
            <input message="tns:RequestQuote_processRequestQuoteResponse"/>
        </operation>
    </portType>Here comes the good bit... Both portTypes have an <input> operation. But that's because they are both one-way invocation types, and there is no choice but use the <input> element -- that's the standard. You can't imply put <output> because there's no such thing in the standard. However we know that one of those is to actually return the result. That is, it's the output, even though it's labelled <input>.
Hopefully that's given you enough information now. Re-read my first post, above, and it should make more sense.
Incidentally, this is why you rarely see try asynchronous web services, because the caller has to also be a listener. And if you want to call a service, who wants to also have to write code to listen, to handle responses coming out of order, etc. This is one of the advantages of using an orchestration engine like Oracle BPEL Process Manager. The framework takes care of the hard work, and you can simply call an aysnchronous service and not have to worry about how to get the response back -- the engine does it for you.

Robin.

When I log in the Portal using Administrator user, I can use it correctly.

I have created a Room IView.
When I log in the Portal using Administrator user, I can use it correctly. However when I am using another user, I get this error message:
com.sap.portal.pcm.Title
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :

Page could not create the iView.
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
What should I do??

Hi Ika,
This seems to be a permission issue.
Go to the pcd and give read access to portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms .
That should solve the problem.
Points are welcome if this helps

I need your help.
thanks

We're going to need some more details about exactly what you did because it really sounds like you're making a mistake. This extra attribute should work.
The only situation I can think of where it might not work as intended is if your new attribute is a property of the state attribute... when you slice by the state attribute, it will override the default member on the new attribute.
What are your attribute relationships in that dimension? What do you get when you run the following MDX queries?
with
member test1 as [Geography].[State].DefaultMember.UniqueName
member test2 as [Geography].[NewAttribute].DefaultMember.UniqueName
select {test1,test2} on 0
from YourCube
select {} on 0,
[Geography].[NewAttribute].[NewAttribute].Members
*[Geography].[State].[State].Members on 1
from YourCube
As for the calculated member [Geography].[State].[All].[West], you can add to that to the MDX script (the Calculations tab in the cube designer) and it will be available to all sessions.http://artisconsulting.com/Blog/GregGalloway

Query Result Filtered using User Roles SCSM 2012 R2 RU2

Hi,
I have a Query Result setup in a Request Offering that shows the list of Printers using the Printer CI. We have different sites with printers that start with the site location like MTL. There are no filters in the Query Result. What i did is create a Group
for each site that has the rule "start with" MTL (other groups have other 3 letter prefix). Then i created a user role for each group and only selected the Printer group for the site and i associated the User Role with our AD Site group called MTL-User.
i did this for each site. Now when i checked the Request Offering at first, with a user that is part of MTL-User group, it showed only the list of printers that started with MTL. Now today i came to check again and the same user is seeing all the printers
and not just the ones that start with MTL.
The User Role i made was based on the Read-Only Operator. I just dont know what the problem is

Thanks for that link. I had thought of something like that but i found it came to the same thing as just using the filter field that is already available when using a Query Result. I retried using User Roles and figured out that the problem is that my test
user is only part of the MTL-USER group so when i logged in with him into the portal (cireson Portal btw) i would see the proper result. If i logged in with a actual user that is also part of other groups besides MTL-Users, they see all the printers no matter
which AD group i define in the User Role.
So what i figured was that my group is not getting applied as the filter to the query Result and that the Member section in the User role is only to say who can see the Query result list. But then i have my test user for which this setup works...so im confused
on what exactly is overriding the results.
