Compatability of ESS/MSS ERP 2004 with ECC 6.0

Hi,
I was using ERP 2004 ESS/MSS on EP 7.0 SP 8. My backend was ECC 5.0.
Recently we upgraded our backend to ECC 6.0. But after the upgradation the ESS/MSS packege is not working on the portal. Its showing the below error.
com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalApplicationNotFoundException: Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.appdesigner.api_framework
 at com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalApplicationItem.prepare(PortalApplicationItem.java(Compiled Code))

 at com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.SAPJ2EEApplicationItem.start(SAPJ2EEApplicationItem.java:192)
 ... 8 more
Is ERP 2004 ESS/MSS comapatbile with ECC 6.0 or there are any steps to be performed after upgradation from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0?
Any suggestions??
Regards
Debasish

The new Business Packages meant for ECC 6.0 are based on Webdynpro for Java ....which have a different and better look and feel ....these are based on a RoadMap(Floor Plan Manager) which let the employees/managers to go from Overview(dislay the data),edit (to change) ,Review(to review) and Confirmation (To Confirm)....
Hope it helps.

Connect NW 2004s with ECC 5.0

Hello gurus,
I have a problem, I'm trying to connect the SAP DEV BI System (Netweaver 2004s) to the SAP DEV R3 (ECC 5.0), both RFC are created. All tests are fine between SAP BI System and SAP R3 system, means that my BI system can connect to R3. Anyway, the RFC that connects SAP R3 with SAP BI doesn't work cause an authorization issue.
The user data used is the followin:
User: rfcuser
Type: system
Profiles: S_BI-WHM_RFC, SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW (as suggested in best practices)
While trying to test the RFC connection, the connectivity test is ok, anyway it fails on the authorization test.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Pilar Infantas.

Dear gurus,
Is it possible that this happens due to the version of SAP_BW in SAP R3 server?. There the SAP_BW 350 0016 SAPKW35016 Business Information Warehouse, while on SAP BI server it is SAP_BW 700 0012 SAPKW70012 SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0.
Best regards,

Can we run ERP 2004 XSS applications in combinations with NW04s XSS 600?

Want to know if we can run ERP 2004 XSS applications in combinations with NW04s with 2004s BPx (XSS600)?
So our Portal is NW04s with J2EE engine 7.0 and our ECC system runs Xss 100.

Hi Alan,
Our Portal is NW04s with J2EE engine 7.0 and our ECC 6.0 running Xss 600
coming to your question,
The business packages ESS/MSS for SAP ERP 2004 and SAP ERP 2005 can be installed and used in parallel in Enterprise Portal (EP) NW04s, only if
ECC 5.0, XSS 500 on J2EE 6.40 is linked to BP ESS/MSS (SAP ERP 2004) and
ECC 6.0, XSS 600 on EP NW04s is linked to BP ESS/MSS (SAP ERP 2005)
Please see Note 1034385 for more detailed description.
Thanks and regards

Hi Mike,
The problem is NW04s Ent. portal doesn't support every feature of the ECC 5.0's XSS. On my portal XSS 600 and the BP for ESS-MSS have installed. Also XSS-100 is installed on the Java stack. I think i should use the java stack like a router to my ECC 5.0 ESS usage. But i don't know how!!
I wrote that situation to OSS and they offer two ways to solve the problem. Upgrade your ECC system or use double stack. We have to choose double stack right now but couldn't make the configuration.
Tnx in advance,

Implementing MSS in EP 6.0 with ECC 6.0 as back end.

hi,
I am implementing MSS in EP with ECC 6.0. what are the configuration should I have to do in ECC 6.0 to implement MSS. Please provide me details as to what are the steps for configurations.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh
Implementation steps for MSS:
1 - Deploy PCUI .sca to your J2EE Engine via SDM
2 - Deploy MSS .sca to your J2EE Engine via SDM
3 - Make sure you have a SLD available, or you can enable the local SLD on your Portal J2EE instance
via http://localhost:port/sld and login as Administrator or J2EE_ADMIN and run the auto import.
4 - Define your ECC server in the SLD as a new WAS ABAP instance and define all the settings via the Wizard.
5 - Use the WebDynpro explorer to configure the Jco destinations to use the new WAS ABAP instance in your SLD
6 - Define the system definitions as per the MSS documentation for alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and
others
7 - Assign Employee role from PCD to your Portal user and assign the relevant profile to your backend user in ECC.
8 - Use transaction pa30 to add a communications infotype entry to map your username to an employee in the hierarchy.

(BIBLE) - Employee Self-Service (ESS) Applications
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/6a/5bc8a009d54fcaa8e06c826a57253b/frameset.htm
What is ESS
Employee Self-Service or ESS is a web-based solution designed to automate many of the repetitive tasks of the HR function
by allowing employees direct access to HR information and services. The basic idea of ESS is that employees are empowered to be responsible for their own personal information.
Benefits:-
One of the major reason for organizations implementing ESS is that it allows HR professionals to spend less time in administrative tasks like paper filing,
attendance monitoring etc and more time dealing with more complex and strategic HR issues.
The Gartner Group had estimated that 40 percent of traditional HR activities were handled by ESS in the year 2000 and this can only increase over time.

ESS/MSS Prerequisites

Hi all,
I am planning to learn ESS/MSS. I dont have any idea about HR. Is it possible to start ESS/MSS without having any knowledge of HR or what part of HR need to be know?
With kind Regards,
RK

ESS and MSS are business packages which are preconfigured as per the Employees and the Managers needs in an organization.
You got to download these business packages from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio
Once you download it, you have to deploy the same on the portal. Once deployed, you have to apply the ESS and MSS roles to the users.
Then you can find, the various iviews and to configure these if you have HR knowledge, you can handle them in a better way.
