Question about Business packages of self service

Dear all,
I have installed correctly EP and ERP 6.0 EHP 4, now I would like to deploy the business packages of ESS/MSS in order to test it, for what I understood, I need to download the following:
BP ERP05 ESS 1.41
BP ERP05 MSS 1.41
SAP ESS 603
SAP PCUI_GP 603
SAP MSS 600
The porblem is that for every one business package in the marketplace, there are like 10 SCA files to download, do I have to download them all or only the latest one?
Thank you very much

always match your backend suport pack level with frontend using this matrix, this way it will be compatible
you need to ensure they are on correct levels! Please check below

On Demand Business Intelligence/Self Service BI tools

Hello,
I wanted to first understand if "On Demand Business Intelligence" and "Self Service BI" mean the same. If not, what is the difference between the two.
In addition, i would like to know the tools that i could use addressing the above two needs. The tool should have features like charting etc (fancy stuff).., It should be easily integrated with web apps and not too costly.
Any thoughts
vinu

Hi Vinu,
The term 'On-demand BI' is open to interpretation, as are most of these 'buzz-words', but it is commonly accepted as meaning 'BI in the cloud' whereby an organisation can
reap the benefits of a BI infrastructure without being hit by the costs commonly associated with on-premise BI infrastructures. The on-demand BI capability is normally delivered via a subscription based model i.e. Infrastructure as a service
(IaaS).
Self-service BI relates to empowering subject matter experts or SMEs to convert the data that is available to them into reports, dashboards, and other actionable information products, whilst
reducing their immediate dependence on the IT department (who are often a bottle neck for ad-hoc, time-sensitive, reporting and analysis requirements).
Reports/dashboards created with self-service BI tools often get converted into corporate-wide BI reports/dashboards once their usefulness has been recognised by senior management. Self-service
BI tools such as Power Pivot, Power View, Power Query, and Power Map can be used with on-premise BI, 'BI in the cloud', or both. Even before Power Pivot, and other Power BI products, Excel could be considered a self-service BI tool since it enables
SMEs to create what are effectively 'decision support systems'.
A good example of 'On-demand BI' would be Power BI in office 365, since it allows businesses to have a BI capability without a large capital expenditure that is normally associated with this.
SAP also provide BI On demand.
Good examples of Self-service BI tools that come to mind are the Power BI offerings (Power Pivot, Power View, Power Query, Power Map), Tableau, and Qlikview.
My answer is certainly not definitive and it would be interesting to read how others in this forum interpret 'On Demand BI' and 'Self-service BI'...
Hope this helps,
Michael

Changing Owner & Business Group of ASD Custom Resource

So this is a bit of an expansion of this discussion: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/500669?start=0&tstart=0
You will see that pizzle85 managed to solve his challenge of BG object ownership by using an ASD Service Catalog Request located in each Business Group's Entitlements so a member of the business group can just run the Provision required to bring the BG item under management in the business group. This is quite an effective method to solve the need. He then has a Resource Action that allows for re-"Provision" which changes owner within the business group: a necessary task because managers tend to move around a lot so they can look busy. (just kidding, I love managers--who have a sense of humor) So to change owner... just perform a "provision" again.
Apparently this is one of the best kept secrets in vRA because it has been hard to figure out, and nobody is writing about it. (I can only assume that there is some SE out there who has worked with the developers to get this capability going and it hasn't been shared widely.)
Note: I think Business Groups as a Service is something I need to plan for (vs centrally managed Business Groups) even though their future implementation might vary, so my examples here are related to that effort because I am too lazy to demonstrate a generic example. BUT... the idea is... ownership of ASD Inventory Objects (representing ANY Custom Resource) can be modified using this method. Ownership includes both the owner represented by "ME" in the Items list... and the Business Group (subtenant Reference & Label) where the item resides in inventory.
In 6.2.x, I have not found any method in the vRO plugin for vRA to be able to change ownership and business group of an ASD Custom Resource Inventory Item, but it can be accomplished via a combination of (1) ASD Service Catalog or Resource Action "Provision" capabilities and (2) REST calls through the vRA plugin service channels. (the latter uses the plugin service account authorizations/entitlements)
Consider this image...
This could represent a central management point for many business groups: where I can assign a set of resource actions allowing for automation of various business group needs, an anchor point for actions. Those in the sktest business group Support User or Manager Role would be able to see all the business groups globally if they were all provisioned in sktest. (a bucket to manage from)
This also could represent a starting point where business groups are created as real objects, returned as custom resources, and "provisioned" as inventory object items. But once there...maybe you want to move it?
Let's say we later decided, seantesting doesn't belong in sktest because we wanted to change from the "we manage it for you" model to the "manage it yourself" model. How do you move it?
Like this...
And it moves now owned by the vRA plugin service account... (which an entitled user could run Take Ownership and own it in that business group)
The service account obviously needs to be part of the destination business group and as it ends up, has to have an entitlement to any "provision" action in the business group even though the object doesn't exist there.
This is a tricky hack and this is how it works...
1. vRO workflow calls the Take Ownership Action in vRA via REST (front door process). As noted before, this has a provision attribute to the action which we know changes the owner. So we would expect that the owner would change to the user that is making the request: which is the service account. The service account becomes the owner, but this wouldn't change the Business Group.
2. So we change subtentantRef and subtenantLabel in the REST call to the business group we want to target, even though the object isn't in inventory in that business group. And Voila! The business group item representation re-provisions as a new owner in a new business group. Effectively changing the owner and moving the object from one BG to another BG using the management-method vs the self-service-method (the latter as pizzle85 did).
Again... maybe you care less about Business Groups. Maybe you would prefer self-service. It is the capability of moving a custom resource inventory representation that matters.
Here is an example of the REST call to run the "Take Ownership" action. I have a script before this that pulls in all the variables for the "Resource" I am targeting (from the BusinessGroup object ID), the action I am running (Take Ownership ID), the business group Ref and Label) and some of the properties I need for the Take Ownership action like bgName... but those are actually not necessary. (all of the "entries" are what is required per the Take Ownership request... if that request didn't require any inputs, there would be no entries... it is the top change of subtenant that allows for the BG move)
System.log("resourceRef: " + resourceRef);
System.log("resourceActionRef: " + resourceActionRef);
System.log("targetRef: " + targetRef);
System.log("targetLabel: " + targetLabel);
System.log("bgName: " + bgName);
var payload ={
"@type":"ResourceActionRequest",
"resourceRef":{"id":resourceRef},
"resourceActionRef":{"id":resourceActionRef},
"organization":{"tenantRef":"vsphere.local","tenantLabel":"vsphere.local","subtenantRef":targetRef,"subtenantLabel":targetLabel},
"state":"SUBMITTED",
"requestNumber":0,
"requestData":
{"entries":[
{"key": "provider-rYouSure","value":{"type":"boolean","value":"true"}},
{"key": "provider-bgName","value": {"type": "string","value":bgName}}]}
payload = System.getModule("org.dojotoolkit.dojo.json").serialize(payload);
System.log(payload);
Server.log(payload);
var catalogRest = cafeHost.createRestClient(vCACCAFEServicesEnum.CATALOG_SERVICE);
var response = catalogRest.post("consumer/requests",payload);
Best of luck in your Automation Efforts!

Turns out... it is likely not required as part of the request data.

Hello All,
Am new in ESS/MSS. Have just uploaded the ESS/MSS business package on EP6 SP15.
Now as per the notes given on help.sap.com site on Floor Plan Manager, I need to addin a Self-Service Administrator role to use FPM.
Where can I find this......
Please guide.....
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks & Warm Regards,
Ritu

Hello All,
Am working on EP 6 SP15 Sneak Preview.
I need to customise Web Dynpro components of MSS...namely PCR, using Web Dynpro for Java.
Am in the process of reading the Floor Plan Manager concept from help.sap.com site...
Have 2 queries now:
1. If I use Self-Service Administrator, the business packages I need are :
- Business Package for Self Service Administraor
- Business Package for Common Parts....
but these both are for NW2004s...am using NW2004. I did not find any such pacges for NW2004....
Any inputs?
2. link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/b4/139525380149a49c8402e22700e4ba/frameset.htm says that:
Implicitly, by creating a configuration component that implements the interface IXSSAppConf. This is the only possibility for self-service applications in SAP ERP 2004 and above.
Now I need to update the UI of PCR, so how can I do it...any hints....
Please guide....

Business Package for Employee Self-Service 1.2

Hi,
I have seen that there exists a documentation about Business Package for Employee Self-Service 1.2
<a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/de/46/51f92594b85e40e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/de/46/51f92594b85e40e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm</a>
Does anybody know whether I can download this version? I do only find the version 1.0, which we have already installed.

Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

Hi all,
Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
regards
Sam

Balaji,
in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3
regards
Sam

Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 with E-Business Suite Self Service

Hi,
I am looking to create some extra JSP pages to add extra functionality to the Oracle E-Business Suite Self Service Pages (10g database). I have been told that it is not possible to do this with JDeveloper 10.1.3 and that we will need to use JDeveloper 9 with patches.
Is this correct? or can I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 to develop new pages to add onto Manager and Employee Self Service pages?
Many Thanks
Martin

Thanks Brenden,
If we have several clients with different apps levels/patches applied, does this mean we will need to have a version of JDeveloper for each client?
I have been directed to metalink note 416708.1, and I think I will need to downlaod JDEV9, but when I go to the JDeveloper download site on OTN it only lets me downlaod versions 10.1.3 and 10.1.2, where can I download this from?
Many Thanks
Martin

Single business group Vs. multiple business groups

Hi,
I have a case where the user wants to implement Oracle HRMS (Core HR, Payroll, Self Service) in 4 countries. All countries have common procedures but there is some procedures like end of service, Taxation differ from country to another.
There is some employees have managers in different country. How this will handle in the self service?
Should I choose a single business group or go with the multiple business groups.

HI
If you are going live with one BG and latter you need to convert to a multi Business Group then you need to migrate these data in the current BG to the new BG. this is similar to the Shared HR to Full HR conversion Project
The thing to be noted if you are live with one BG and trying to convert to Multi BG
Before you run the Legislation patches for the new BG, you need to create the New Business and complete the Data migration to the new business group and latter you Run the New Legislation patch which will help you reduce the work
Also you should take care of the Audit, when you migrate the employee to the new BG then the Old records has to be maintained for the Audit
Also The Legal Entity, Operating Unit and the Inv Org has to be aligned to the New BG
Since you are implementing now you think of going multi BG now itself..If you need to build the New BG after go live.. you need to come up with solution design Doc and it will be a separate project

Restrict Workflow Administrator responsibility for a business group

My requirement is to restrict the Workflow Administrator responsibility to a specific business group so that the administrator can view all notifications/transactions for a given business group only for ALL item types. I tried following the steps given in the document 'Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (SSHR) Release Notes, Release 12.1.1' metalink id 578360.1. However, it doesnt seem to be working. Any idea on how to do this configuration?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi,
EBS version: 12.1.3, Database 11g
Below are the steps to reproduce the issue:
1) Create a security profile 'XXX-UK-WF' with following values:
Business Group: <UK business group name>
View Employees: Restricted
View Contingent Workers: Restricted
View Applicants: restricted
View Contacts: Restricted
View Candidates: All
Organization Security Tab--> Security Type: View All Organizations(No Security)
2) Set the HR: Security Profile option at the responsibility level for the Workflow Administrator Web(New) responsibility.
3) Log on to the Functional Developer responsibility and search for the predefined Workflow Item Attribute Values (WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES) object.
4) Click the Update icon to navigate to the Update Object page.
5) Click Create Grant on the Grants tab.
On the Define Grant page, enter the following details:
In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the grant.
Specify the effective date for the grant as '01-Sep-2011'.
In the Grantee Type field, select 'Group of users' and select teh responsibility 'Workflow Administrator Web(New)' in the Grantee field.
6)In the Object field, select the delivered object Workflow Item Attribute Values
7)On the Grant: Select Object Data Context page, select the HR Self-Service Selected Person ID Instance Set (HRSS_WF_ATTR_PERSONID_INSTSET)
8) On the Grant: Define Object Parameters and Select Set page:
In the Set field, enter the delivered Business workflow item attribute permission set (WF_ADMIN_ITEM_ATTR_PSET).
Click Finish to complete the grant creation process.
9) Logout and login as a user having Workflow Administrator Web(New) responsibility. Navigate to Administer--> Status Monitor. Search for all the workflows started this week. All the transactions from all the business groups will be listed. ideally, only the transactions occuring in UK business groups should have been listed.
