Business packages use in EP7.

Hello,
We are working with EP6 using:
 Business Package for Employee Self-Service -> R/3 backend 4.7
Business Package for Manager Self-Service -> R/3 backend 4.7
We are interested in migrate from EP6 to EP7. Are these business packages supported in EP7 with the same backend system (R/3 backend 4.7)?
Thanks in advance,
Marta.

if you are using the BP for 4.7 you are probably using the BP v 5.04, which runs only on EP6. If you are migrating to EP7, you have to use either BP v6.02 or v1.0, none of which work with 4.7. You have two options:
1. upgrade the backend to mySAP ERP 2004 or 2005.
2. give the existing BP a try, maybe it will work (most probably it won't, since the iview technology has changed from ITS to WebDynpro)
I hope this helps. You can read more about business packages at

Customizing ESS Business Package using Web Dynpro

Hi
Does anyone know how we can customize the ESS Business Package using web dynpro. I tried opening one of its application but since it doesn't carry any .project file, it cannot be opened in the NWDS for customization.
Also, if there is any document available describing the method to be used for this, can you please pass the link for that or mail at [email protected]
Thanks & regards,
Anupreet

Hi Jithendra,
The note number has been mentioned in the post. Please try accessing that note. Also for information related to NWDI access the home page for NWDI.
I would suggest that you search the forum first and try to find similar threads with similar queries. That will really speed up your process also.
If the SDN search is not to your liking you can also use the google search. That is powerful and you get the exact thing you are looking for instantly.

Change iviews installed from a business package

Hi experts,
I'm working on EP 2004s and I would like to know if there is a way to change iviews installed in the portal from a business package using Visual Composer. Can I copy them into my own created package in VC?
Thanks
Panos

Hi,
Usually Business Package iviews - especially the older ones - aren't based on Visual composer models but rather older IView technology. Therefore, it should be impossible to change them in VC.
I've heard that SAP may be considering releasing business packages (XSS?) as VC models but never heard any confirmation regrading this. Probbaly based on the support-related questions. I once blogged on this <a href="/people/community.user/blog/2007/01/30/enterprise-soa-explorations-fragments.

I am not able to locate imported business package

Hi,
I have created few roles, worksets and iView for my applilcation. Then created one business package using export option. I can see .epa file in the export folder.
Now I have to test this package before sending to other teams. I could not locate the package even after importing it.
How should I import and test this package....
Also should I sent par files used to create iView and system along with the business package to the other team. I have created one iView using 'New From par' and iView type is 'com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap' and system of type 'com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp' using 'New From Par'.
Pls help.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
bhawna

hi bhawna,
the imported content package is imported at two different location based on two version
as follow.
if your portal is EP 5.0 then the package extension is ".pkg" and it is imported as your told path means "Administrator->Portal Content->Migrated Content->EP 5.0->roles-cFolders."here also depending your imported content.
if your portal is EP 6.0 then the package extension is ".epa" and it is imported under the path " Administrator->Portal Content->content providede by sap" here in subfolders depending your imported content.
and for your problem related cant's see the system aliases
you have to set the permission for your newly created system.

hardik.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Adding a workset to a Business Package

Hi,
I have created a business package using the SAP Netweaver Development Studio. I did this:
File -> New -> Project... (opens 'New Project' wizard)
Portal Application -> Create a Portal Application Project
Project name: MyBP; project root folder: C:\
In the newly created project I created an iView like this:
New -> Other... (opens 'New' wizard)
Portal Application -> Create a new Portal Application Object
selected project 'MyBP'
selected template PortalComponent -> AbstractPortalComponent
Filled in name, class name, package name... Finish...
This works fine. I added some code, exported it to a par archive and uploaded it to the portal and tested it. I can see my iView and test it. It works fine.
Now I want to try to add a Workset (or a Page) to my BP. All documentation I can find is suggesting that this is possible, but I can't seem to find any example on how to do it. The 'New' wizard does not offer any templates to use so I am stuck.
Is there any example available on how to add worksets and pages etc to a Business Package, or maybe it's not possible?
Is a Workset defined in/as XML and if so, where?
Thanks for any help,
-Stijn

Stijn,
The Business Packages are normally pre-built content delivered by SAP available from "http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio") but you can also build .epa files as a Portal Transport Request (via System AdminTransportExport and by creating a NewTransport Package and adding content from the PCD).
Some of the SAP business packages are delivered as .zip files, some as .epa files and some as .sda file (which require deployment via the SDM remoteGui rather than the normal method of System AdminTransportImport)
The basic idea is that you can import a load of prebuilt content, of which most of the value is in the iViews and the code behind them, which have been organised into what SAP consider useful Pages, Worksets and Roles that will generally be useful to customers.
You can then take a copy of the existing roles from the business packages and use them as a starting point for your own customised roles by adding removing or changing their content.
All of the objects except for iViews exist as PCD objects, as all they really do is organise the iViews into usefull groupings. Its only the iViews that generally require any coding behind them from Netweaver Developer Studio.
Out of interest, what are you trying to develop?
Cheers,
Steve

How to unistall Business package Ess 1.0

Hi all,
By mistake I have deleted the some of the worksets in Portal which is created when deployed the Business Package Ess 1.0 into SDM.(Employee Self-Service(role) and Personal information(workset).
Can anyone tel me how to redeploy the business package or Is there anyway to
bring back the workset deleted without deploying the SCA files.
Please can anyone help me. Its urgent please.
Thanks
Ponnusamy.P

Hi Ponuswamy ,
The uninstallation of business packages are called as De-installation which for the BPs which are no more used.
 Note during de-installation that content objects could be shared with other business packages. Before uninstalling content objects, check whether another business package uses the content objects.
Solution is you must De-install Business Package manually as there is currently neither a standardized nor automated procedure for uninstalling business packages.
So delete all the worksets which have been created under ur Business Process because the lost worksets cannot be loaded without running an installation again.
The best solution would be to delete all the Business Package content and
Follow throught the complete installation once again.
The installation steps can be found if u download it from SDN in the BP manual
or this .<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/89/c84440eff00272e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">link</a> could help.
Hope this helps u .

PREPRATION
1) Download the Business Package for Employee Self Service (mySAP ERP 2004) from SDN using your SAP Service Marketplace ID.
(SDNPortal Content PortfolioBrowse Content PortfolioEvery UserSelf ServiceBusiness Package for Employee Self Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.2)
2) Check the J2EE Version and Download the following Web Dynpro Development Components (patches) from service marketplace (Refer SAP Note 761266Self Service Patches to know the version to be downloaded):
     ESS
     PCUI_GP
     (service.sap.com/downloadSupport patches and packagesEntry By application GroupSAP Application ComponentsSAP ERPSAP ERP 2004Entry By ComponentSAP XSS (SAP ESS 100 and SAP PCUI_GP 100))
For the current Scenario, I downloaded PCUI_GP07_0.sca; ESS07P_2.sca

Best Practice in using Business Packages

Hi All,
Are there any Best Practices in the use of Business Package content? Do you assign the Roles delivered by the Business Package and do you make changes to the original iViews?
or
Do you copy the content delivered in the Business Package to a new folder and work with there?
These questions are purely at the configuration level and not at the Java coding level. For instance if I want to turn of the iView Tray, or change a parameter such as height, or even remove an iView from a page or Role.
I would like to know the various approaches the SDN community uses and the different challenges and benefits that result in each approach.
Look forward to hearing from you all
Paul

Hi Paul,
I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project. You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects. I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages. Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to. I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
Just my 2 cents worth....
Regards,
John

Benefits of using business packages (hr)

hi all
i want to know what are the advantages of using business packages (in terms of HR module).and what sort of BP's are available for this.
Thanks And Regards
yogesh

Hello yogesh,
If you speak of package for transport order like Z001,
I advise you to use BP' S specific like Z001 or other because by transaction SE80, you can see all the objects related to this package.
For me it's just organisational benefits.

Using Business packages

I have imported a business package and when i open the folder 'Portal content' i can see the iViews, Pages, Roles, ... .
What should i do next?
Thanks in advance,
Timo

We have just started with the EP 6.0 SP2. To discover how it works i have imported the BP for iViewStudio because we do not need a connection with a R/3 system to use this business package and we can try the portal immediately. The problem is not the specific BP but how to use any BP in the portal.
I have found several documents about how to import a BP, but i cannot find any information about what to do after the BP is imported. My first goal is to try to get the workset for iViewStudio available to myself or any other user, but i have got no idea how to that.
Timo

Viewing and uploading documents when using a business package in the portal

DMS works fine in the ECC backend and we are able to create and view documents but when attempting to view a document via the Business Package Maintenance Supervisor or Maintenance Technician, error returns with "No originals available for the document". we are using Enh Pack 3 but can find no configuration advice in the Business Package technical configuration. Did a search here but could not find anything specific. Any help appreciated

Hi Frank,
When you upload document into SAP DMS, you need to check-in these for storing into repository. Have you checked-in documents? if not then these documents can;t be retrieved by the system. Kindly check and revert back on this solution.
Hope this will help.

Ravindra
