Customizing MSS ADDON Launchpad

Hi,
We would like to add Leave Request funcionality in MSS launchpad (MSS ADDON). We are running SAP ECC 6 on EHP5.
I have created a new link on MSS launchpad. I configured the parameter PERNR_MEM_ID on Application Parameter option, but after selecting a user and clicking on "Leave Request" option, the "Leave Request" window opens but the parameter PERNR_MEM_ID is empty. With this parameter empty, the manager can´t create a leave request for his employees.
Launchpad Config
MSS Application
Leave Request URL (PERNR_MEM_ID empty):
http://server:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hress_a_ptarq_leavreq_appl?PERNR_MEM_ID=&sap-wd-configid=HRESS_AC_PTARQ_LEAVREQ
Clock In-Out Corrections URL (PERNR_MEM_ID filled):
http://server:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hress_a_corrections?PERNR_MEM_ID=866258514&sap-wd-configid=HRESS_AC_CORRECTIONS
It should come filled, because when I click on "Clock In / Clock Out Corrections" , this parameter comes filled.
I think there is something with the "Application Alias" parameter. I´ve configured it manually with value CREATE_LEAVE_REQUEST. Should it be a randomic value or do I have to configure it in somewhere?
Thanks.
Bruno

Well.. So I don´t know...
I have configured as you told me and PERNR_MEM_ID is still empty.
I think the "Application Alias" is the "key" and there is something configured behind it, because if I setup Leave Request as bellow, it works:
Application Alias = CLOCK_IN_CLOCK_OUT
Application Parameter =
Configuration = HRESS_AC_PTARQ_LEAVREQ
Namespace = sap
Application = HRESS_A_PTARQ_LEAVREQ_APPL

NWBC MSS Reporting launchpad caching reports

I have been configuring the MSS reports using LPD_CUST and I found that my changes weren't being reflected in the MSS Reporting launchpad. When I then moved on to another user the changes were there. There must be some sort of Caching going on and I wonder if anyone knows how to clear this.
I have tried clearing the table CKLTEX and this doesnt work. I saw Chris Paine had detailed on another discussion how to clear the NWBC cache but we are using NWBC html not desktop and this option doesnt seem to be available.
If I could find the function/class/method that gets the report list for a Role|Instance this would also help if anyone knows that?
Regards
Rob.

Assessment - Planning Page will not show in Custom MSS Role

I have gone through the Notes/Docs for setting up OBN for Performance Management and have implemented the same.
Now if I go to the Standard MSS role and try to open up Assessment > Click on 'Create' for Succession Planning, it works fine by showing up the Talent Assessment window where it can be completed.
Now, we have a custom MSS role copied from the standard one and I have included the same Talent Management workset (with the page, folder inside - just like the standard role).
But when I try the same scenario as above (Z_Manager_role > Talent Management > Assessment (from Service Map) > Click on Create under Succession Planning), I get the following error.
There is no iView available for system "SAP_ERP_HumanResources": object "employee". For more information, contact your administrator.
Why would it work on the standard role and not the copy? Any directions highly appreciated.
FYI. We are on 7.01 SP8, SAP_MSS 600 SP18
Thanks,
BR

Thanks Sidharth.
Sorry for not getting back earlier. I had opened a message with SAP. It looks like the problem has to do with Navigation Targets in my custom MSS role - so that is narrowed down now.
The following prerequisite applies: You must include the navigation targets (for the portal pages mentioned below) in your role.
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.appraisal_document_wd_ui
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.appraisal_document_pmp
How do I include these navigation targets in my custom MSS role? I mean these pages are not part of the role.
Thanks,
BR

Trigger WF when updating entries through custom MSS screen

Hi can anyone tell how to trigger a workflow when entry in 2007 infotype is updated using custom MSS screen.What are the steps need to follow.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
For HR, you can do it using transaction SWEHR1 to define infotype 2007 as "triggerable". Then, use transaction SWEHR3 to link that object with an event.
I got this from a website called SAPTechnical and I could not post the link here. Go to that website, then, click tutorials and select Business Workflow. Search for the word HR and you'll find an article on this.

No reports displayed in MSS Report Launchpad

Hello everybody,
We set up ESS/MSS on a distributed environment.
Backend:
     ECC 6.0 EhP 3
     Single-ABAP Stack
     Installed Backend Component EA-HR 603
     Activated Backend Function EA_FIN_1
Portal:
     NW 7.0 SPS 17
     Single-Java Stack
     Installed Components: SAPPCUI_GP 603 SP4, SAP_ESS 603 SP3, SAP_MSS 600 SP15
Problem
The configuration works fine for a couple of ESS and MSS iViews and pages, but we get the following problem with MSS Reports:
-> When calling the Launchpad no reports are displayed and an info message is shown telling "No objects were personalized".
-> When clicking on "Change Launchpad" you see several reports sorted in groupings. They are already listed in the table of shown reports but are not displayed in the launchpad.
-> When clicking on "Save and Exit" you get two additional info messages telling "No Applications entered", but no reports are displayed. When you then open "change launchpad" screen again the reports totally disappear from table of shown reports.
Portal Launchpad Configuration:
-> pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.common
-> The launchpad iView connects to the backend via SSO which works fine for a lot of other ESS/MSS iViews
-> As application parameters the following is configured: "class=CL_FPB_SNI_ACCESS&role=MSS&instance=REP&display_external=X"
Backend Customization:
-> When launching transaction "fpb_launchpad_cust" with role MSS and instance REP you can see all the reports which are displayed in "change launchpad" screen.
-> All the reports are Transaction Reports
-> The Manager's Desktop (MDT) is not used
So:
1.) Why are the reports not displayed in the launchpad, but in the "Change Launchpad" screen?
2.) Did we forget any customizing?
3.) Why do we see such info messages like "No objects were personalized"?
4.) And what refers the application parameter "class=CL_FPB_SNI_ACCESS" to?
Please help me,
Dennis

Hi everybody,
finally we managed to fix this bug on our own.
We set up the Managers Desktop (MDT) as suggested by SAP. But the MDT's reports could not be converted to the launchpad.
Then we recognized via debugging that for any reason the following entries were missing in table FPB_LP6_SNI_REQ:
- Role ROLE C 3 MSS
- Instance INSTANCE C 3 REP
Adding these entries manually fixed the problem.

Dennis Bohlmann

Error while pointing to Custom MSS Component

Hello,
We are implementing MSS on Portal. I have Z copied the standard MSS Webdynpro Component HRMSS_C_CATS_APPR_DASHBRD. To point to the custom one in the Homepage, I have the Custom Component Configuration ZHRMSS_HOMEPAGE_OVP, in which when I refer to the Custom Webdynpro Component created, I get the Error : 'Component <z component name> of UIBB (Window Name) implements an Invalid Interface'.
What can be causing this?
Any help would be highly Appreciated.

Try closing and reopening the project. This is a common issue with Web Dynpro projects and closing and reopening tends to fix it.

Custom MSS PCR scenario & fields

HI ,
I have successfully copied the Standard MSS pcr scenarios to Z scenario & forms , as per the guidelines in Development guide for PCR .All the form elements & PCR flow is working fine for Z scenario &
forms .
I need to add some new textfields/dropdown fields to the Z form & scenario.
Is there any sap document that provides deeper understanding of custom fields addition to Z forms /scenario or the only way out is to go through coding .
Thanks & regards,

Custome MSS Webdynpro form and update & approvel process.

Hi,
I developed MSS form using Webdynpro Java and want to add the submit (not for actual update) as well as approvel / rejection process.
what is standard process is to route the PCR Notifications through the HR Administrator who will then process them in the backend, to facilitate any audits & validations before actual update.
so where to store the data , before actual update? we i need to use xml ? how to get the notification no in this case ?
is the are way to store data directly in r3. and get those data from iqs_special_data_get, if it is good practice.
what is solution of my requirement, please guide me.
Thanks
Ali

Hi raza ,
To study the standard MSS PCR process , please study the development guide for PCR available at SAP
Service marketplace .
Standard MSS PCR forms are designed at SFP in ABAP and are processed through BADI QISR1.
for PCR workflows refer -
WS31000009 ISR_CONTROL
WS31000010 ISR_APPROVE
WS31000011 ISR_PROC
I would suggest to study the standard process first before doing any customizing .
Thanks,

Customizing MSS reporting selection period dropdown list

We have diffrent ABAP programs that uses the PNP logical database and we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the MSS reporting iview. In same scenarios we want to display only 'Today'. In these scenarios we use the report together with a variant.
When the user execute the report, the selection period on the variant is used and that is 100% correct. The problem is that the user change the selection period on the frontend (on the Iview) and this is not what is reflected on the output of the report, becasue the report uses a variant.
Therefore we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the Iviewin the scenarios where a report uses a variant.
I know that we cannot customize the perido selction on the Iview, beacue we cannot set the properties on the Iview.
Is anybody familiar with how we can accomplish this.

Hi Darren,
We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

Now I have some customer data with non english characters like chinese and Japanese. If I try to upload this data with english language LOGON then data doesnt updates correctly but if I use the corresponding language logon and upload the same data then it works fine.
Is there any ways I can upload these non english customer data with english system logon using BDCs or do I need to use any other approach?

Customizing MSS reporting period dropdown

We are in the process of upgrading our portal from EP6 to EP7 (NW04s). We have installed the updated business packages for MSS which are now web dynpro iViews. In the previous selection criteria iView that we utilized, we could set a property "Selection period values" to customize the entries available in the period dropdown. I do not see such a property on the new reporting iView I am using, mss~rpt. Is anyone familiar with how to accomplish this?

MSS Report Launchpad

Hi everybody!!!
We're implementing Manager Self Service EHP 4 , and we are facing an issue when whe execute any report in Report Launchpad.
We get this message : <CacheRefresh mode="Partial" execution="asynchronous" />
And we dont know if some configuration has been skipped, cause we have executed PWPC_CONVERT_MDT_TO_LPA in SE38, also FPB_LP_WRITE_ENTRIES program.
Please let me know how can we fix this issue.
Best Regards!!!

For reports to work properly you need to have BP for common parts working fine. Redeployment of this package can also help.
The only configurations from R/3 end are activation of services (your EP person would know), along with standard steps given in N06_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc of Business Best Practices.

Hi,
We are trying to customize the ESS MSS screens. It includes approval and reject kind of thigs.
For this process we developed some application. This application we need to integrate with the standard MSS application.

Customizing MSS Business Package

Hi All,
We have implemented MSS Business Package in the Enterprise Portal 6.0. Now we want to know how to customize the iviews. For example change the look & Feel for an iview.
Please give your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Noufal.

Noufal,
what do you mean by look and feel? What do you want to change? Do you mean changing the Iviews etc?
I suggest not to go for it as this package and content is provided by SAP and just configure the items necessary for you and leave the rest of them. If you intended to use only few Iviews then create your own role and assign these iviews as delta links in your role and have your own way of presenting the MSS.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Praveen
