Configuration of ESS and MSS in Portal for HCM

Hello Friend's,
        This is suresh calling for clarifications and doubts in HCM...   see i'm new to portal, but my requirement is to configure ESS and MSS for HCM... i dont know actually wat needs to be done and the way of approach... these are the doubts,
1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
2.  I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
3.   a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether    i  need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
     b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
I dont know basic steps .... plz help me ... Thanks i advance...........!

Ok. Here are the answers:
1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
   > Download ESS/MSS Business Package, it has two parts Business Package for ERP 2005 (Contains iviews, Roles etc) and XSS 5.0 or 6.0 depending upon the version of the ECC.
  > Make sure that you have SAP_HR and EA_HR component installed on your ECC box.
  > Also make sure that there is no compatibility mismatch between version of SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS.
  > Configure the JCo Destinations, create required system definition and establish SSO between ECC and Portal.
  > Assign the role to the users
> After doing these steps you can see the SAP provided iviews etc working PROVIDED configuration on HR side are already done.  (This is just to get initial configuration work)
2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
> Provided by Bala above
3. a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether i need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
> Look for that application in WebDynpro (identify the component from iView properties) and show it to the client.
If they are Ok with the basic things then fine else they need to specify the kind of customisation they want in this component
Options available if we need to modify the components
>>Copy the component in your namespace and do the modification using NWDINWDS
>>If some field need to be disabled, you can do the same using Self service administration.
b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
Hope this helps. ...

  • ESS and MSS SP Information for ECC EHP4 SP09

    Hello,

    Can any one please suggest what version of ESS, MSS, and PCUI_GP Software
    components need to be used for ECC EHP4 SP09 - HR 36?
    Thanks,
    Shanti

    Thanks for your reply.

    SAP_ESS 603 SP 8
    SAP_MSS 600 SP 19
    PCUI_GP 603 SP 8
    Can I use these latest versions available or should I go with the versions you have suggested ?

  • Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

    Hi Experts,
    This is the first time I am going to deal with
    ESS and MSS.
    I have some basic questions about it and they are
    listed below:
    1. In an organization if they want to integrate
    ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
    is, will they install the packages in the R/3
    system and then use the to portal features to
    make iViews of ESS and MSS.
    2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
    and the R/3 system
    3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
    iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
    MSS applications, if yes how?
    4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
    ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
    Please do let me know on these subjects and also
    if anyone of you have any links or documents
    associated with this scenario please do send me.
    Thank you
    Regards
    Luke

    Hi,
    here is what I know..
    1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
    3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.
    ent
    4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
    You can find all the  different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.

  • Hide certain services in ESS and MSS

    Dear friends
    We want to hide certain services in ESS and MSS we are on ECC 6.0 and EP 7.0
    In ESS  career and job, purchasing, work environment, life and work events, corporate information
    In MSS we want to hide Budget, Projects, Planning
         In Team also we want to hide services like employee working time (approve time sheet data), performance management, competency management, hcm process and forms, in recruitment (create new candidate assessment), organization
    Please let me know where and how to hide these services in ESS and MSS
    Thank you

    Hello,
    For hiding the links in both ESS and MSS, you need to make changes in Home Page Framework.
    For this go to transaction SPRO and navigate to
    Cross-Application Components - Home page Framework.
    I suggest not to delete the standard one instead see and create new iView with new parameters.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers-

    Hello,
    I have SAP ERP 6.0 and portal 7.0 with ESS and MSS versión 1.0. We need to update to the versión 1.41 but in this link says that is required the EHP4 in the ERP. Is that true do we have to upgrade the ERP first?
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/76/77594d165144a1a9bff9aae1e26b26/frameset.htm
    Please help me with this.
    Regards

    Just to note ---> In WD ABAP there is still dependanices between software components for example BP HRA 1.11 is WD ABAP - there is still key dependancies between BP HRA, SAP_HR, EA_HR and SAP_BASIS
    Also moving to 1.4 is considered a move to EHP4 - which means moving ECC to EHP4 as well  - however this applies evern for current WD ABAP products - for example if you want BP HRA 1.41 (WD ABAP) you will also need EHP4 in the back-end (as per note 1375308) so the architecture is very similiar
    Whether EHP5 changes all this is not yet clear
    Best wishes
