Customizing standard ESS component using WebDynproJava.

Hi All,
I am a WebDynpro Java developer. I am new to ESS . My requirement is to customize the Open Enrollment (need to add a pop-up window to the existing Open enrollment flow). Our Portal version is NW 7.0 EPH!1 and NWDS version is NW 7.0.
Please let me know what all i need to know to customize the standard ESS component and also suggest any document that shows the step by step process starting from NWDI till deploying the customized component in NWDS.

Hi,
there you go:
1. once you need to know how to work with NWDI:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/03/f6bc3d42f46c33e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
(you can also find the link here to NWDS)
2. You need to know how to deal with ESS development, here you go, see the guide inside the following note
#872892 - JDI/NWDI Cookbook for ESS/XSS (http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/872892)
Here you'll find an attachment NWDI.zip, and that includes as PDF file which I kindly ask you to read very carefully even multiple times if necessary.
Let me know if you need other guides, but I believe this is a plenty of material, but this should be a nice starting point.
Best Regards,
Ervin

Enhancing standard ESS Component

Hi Experts,
I am going to make changes in standard ESS component in WD ABAP through enhancement button given on menu by creating an enhancement implementation. I want to know is it the right way to create enhancement and suppose any enhancement package is applied to the system, In that case changes done in current enhancement will remain same after the new enhancement is installed or not.
Please provide answers to my queries.
Thanks and Regards,
Vaibhav Tiwari.

thanks vaibhav for reply....
I have a requirement that i need to add some custom(Input ) fields in 'Create Travel Request' view of travel and Expense Page of standard ESS . now the same field was needed in back-end in ECC in t-code TRIP...this i did using append structure in PTK99 and and modifying standard program and screen SAPMP56T 9999 with the guidelines given in SPRO.
now the same thing is to be done in in ESS which is ABAP WD application. WD component name is FITV_FPM, but in this application contains viewContainerUIElements on LAYOUT_VIEW which gets populated dynamically..I can create and Enahancement of this application and put the required field on the view but still after doing this, how to store the these data in back-end??? in back-end this data is stored in PCL1 cluster..
I feel SAP should have given some facility for this in ESS like it has given in ECC...

I have a problem with Transport the personalization of standard ess compone

I have a problem with Transport the personalization of standard ess component.
My problem is in several components, such as:
portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/
com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/
com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_personal_information/persinfo_es/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.13.pdata
I have personalized this page (into rol, not directly in the page), with Ctrl+Right button.
Now i transport the rol, from Development to Quality environment, but i don't see the changes in Quality.
My system is NW 7.01 SP7, Can be that the problem?
Any idea to solve this problem?

First please see note 1234273 which details how best to personalize
for all users.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/ed3ce7f8593eebe10000000
a1553f7/frameset.htm
Here you can read:
"If an iView is transported to another portal all these properties are
also transported. This is needed to make sure that role-specific changes
could be transported together with the role. End user personalization
data is NOT transported in this way as end user personalization is only
local to the current portal."
Could you please ensure that personalization was done by an admin user?
I'm afraid that if it was done by an end user, personalization isn´t
transported as it's explained in the documentation provided.
Could you please confirm whether you are using exactly the same language
to access to both systems, development and quality? Maybe you are using
language en(us) in one system and en(gb) in the other one. Please take
into account that personalization is language specific.
From the web dynpro end, the WebDynpro personalization is stored
NOT in the PCD prior to 710 release. And as such it cannot be included
in a portal role transport. This feature is available with NW 7.10 SP2
or later (from webdynpro point stand). The best option is to
go with NW 7.30 as this is the first NetWeaver release with EP since
NW 7.02.

Can I create a custom XMP panel but using the exact same fields from standard XMP panels?

Hi,
I am new to XMP and not very technical, so please excuse me if this sounds like a stupid question!
I have managed to create my own custom panels for Photoshop using the Generic Panel method with my own custom fields and they work fine. However what I need to do now is create a custom panel that uses the exact same fields from some of the standard panels. The reason being is that I have 4 fields that need to be integrated into another non-adobe system (Extensis Portfolio) that recognizes standard XMP fields, but at present these 4 fields are spread across different standard panels and it would be much easier for the user in Photoshop if they were all together on one panel.
An example field is the "Additional Model Info" field that currently resides on the standard IPTC Extension panel. If I fill in a value in this field on a JPEG then open the the image in Extensis Portfolio, then the field is also filled in in a field called IPTC - Model Info, displaying a key of Iptc4xmpExt:AddlModelInfo.
Is there a way I can take this standard field and use it on a custom panel, so that it can still be filled in in Photoshop and the value viewed in Extensis Portfolio? Sure I can create a custom panel and create a field called "Additional Model Info" but I can't figure out how to connect it to the corresponding field in Portfolio. I tried changing the xmp_property name="Iptc4xmpExt:AddlModelInfo" but this just broke the panel.
Is what I am trying to do possible and if so how and can it be done using the Generic Panel method?
Many thanks!

I am trying to do the same thing but with only the IPTC Keywords field. Searching everywhere but no luck.
Thanks!

Hi Dharani,
Have a look at my weblog,
For your 1st Question:
"How to do the modification in certain ESS/MSS standard iviews? using your local machine NWDS?" -
1.After you configured your track for ESS/MSS business package in NWDI try importing the track in NWDI by configuring NWDI server in NWDS, goto Windowsàpreferences-Java Development Infrastructure-Development Configuration
and specify the URL where you have configured your NWDI
2. create a project for the views which you want to modify.
3. Checkout and create a new activity for the DC
4. Make the changes as per your requirement
5. Checkin the activty once you are done with the changes
6.Activate and release
These are all the steps involved in customization of any business package.
Mail me back if you have any doubts.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Issue in Binding Custom controller to Component Controller

Dear All,
I have enhanced a standard component ERP_H.
I created a custom controller with context nodes BTSTATUS, BTSTATUSH
I enhanced the component controller with context node BTSTATUS, BTSTATUSH
Now when i try to bind the custom controller to component controller using this code in the context class of my custom controller
bind to component controller
owner->do_context_node_binding(
           iv_controller_type = CL_BSP_WD_CONTROLLER=>CO_TYPE_COMPONENT
           iv_target_node_name = 'BTSTATUS' " component controller context node
           iv_node_2_bind = BTStatus ).
its not working since this context node in component controller is not the standard one but the custom added one.
Am i missing something, or is there any way to bind customer context node in custom controller to customer context node in component controller.
regards,
pradeep

Hi pradeep,
    Try the other way round go to the context class in the component controller and paste the following code in the
create_contextnode( context node = name of the node to be linked).
*owner->do_context_node_binding(
        iv_controller_type = cl_bsp_wd_controller=>co_type_custom   <-----linking from component to custom
        iv_target_node_name = 'BUILHEADER' "target node: component controller node
        iv_node_2_bind = BUILHEADER ). "source node: current node.
See if this works.
Thanks

How to allow modification of Country key in standard ESS "Adress" Iview ?

Dear all,
In the standard ESS Personal Information Iview and especially "Adress" Iview, the COUNTRY drop down list can't be modified, modification is deactivated, Country drop down list isn't accessible. But I need to let people select their country when they indicate a new adress (emergency, foreign adress, secondary adress...).
In SPRO>ESS>Personal data/information -->I use country 06, infotype 0006, application case 1 permanent residence.
I tried the CTRL+right click method but I can't activate the country "modification" (no button to solve my issue).
I looked at the below thread but I do want to know if there's really no standard way to allow people to modify that usual field?
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=profile&title=ESSPersonalInformationUIenhancementwithoutmodification&decorator=printable
Many thanks by advance for your advices!

Blandine Landais

Many thanks for your answer!
I've tested it on another system (EHP3 this time) and you need, indeed, to activate business functions (new releases of EHP) in the customizing to allow editing of other country forms. The address iview is a new one too, so no way on an ECC6.0. We tried to search a solution within the abap way but it would generate such a big specific development that I'm not sure we will implement it..
Thanks again for your helpful answer.

Standard ESS iViews for ECM module

Hi,
Regarding the compensation management module, there are several standard ESS iViews delivered by SAP:
For instance the "<i>Displaying a Total Compensation Statement</i>" in Business Package for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004).
As we are setting up Enterprise Compensation Management, I would like to know whether these iViews will also be delivered for ECM. I have checked all Business Package documentation but did not find any standard ESS iViews for ECM.
For MSS, I have found the MSS_60_1_EN.pdf documentation which contains a lot of MSS ECM information. No ESS info unfortunately.
Thanks in advance.
MvdM

The TCS iView is only part of ESS BP and basically uses the ess/rem DC to generate the report framework that shows the output as Adobe PDF. The TCS itself is implemented in the backend with the form builder (/hrforms) - same approach as salary statement. Employees can view their salary statemetn or TCS. In ECM you have managers working with employee data and normally you don't want to display managers this type of information of their employees - but that depends off cause on your requirements. It is not too difficult to build a custom TCS service for managers and integrate it with ECM.

Copy an ess component in nwds

Hello all ,
I have to copy an Standard ESS/MSS component.e.g.ess/us/pdata then rename it with ess/sa/padata.
So that we can make the changes on ess/sa/padata. and our original copy remain unaffected.
To copy a standard one i follow below steps.
1.Create a new DC with the same name as the old DC.
2. Go to navigator and expand the structure of old DC.Copy the src folder from there.
3. Now Expand the structure of new DC.Paste the src folder from old DC to new one.
4.Close the DC and then re load +build.
But when copied dc contains lots of error and when i looked into DC there is lots of thing missing there .
e.g. proper mapping is missing in copied component and there is lots of other error like begda missing etc .
I want to know my approach was right or not.
if right is there anything else step that i need to do.
Or what will be the other approach to do it right way.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am new to do these ESS/MSS and web dynppro changes.

u2022     Copy the functional component (FC or BLC)
u2022     Remap the RFC Model
u2022     Add all used Components (caution ... instance creation is within FPM apps usually manual)
u2022     Map the context of the used components (compare with original).
u2022     Rebuild, then go to component controller & interface controller and organize imports.
u2022     Resolve all open issues due to e.g. new model and so on.
i do not know how may i do these steps
u2022     Add all references (e.g. ess/per, xssfpm, ...). Just compare with the original one.
u2022     Add all used Components (caution ... instance creation is within FPM apps usually manual)

Problem in ECM involving HRECM00_PLANNING_OVERVIEW(standard WDA component)

Hi Guys,
I am currently working in HR module(ESS/MSS).Here we will have to use the standard WDA component HRECM00_PLANNING_OVERVIEW to implement the budget approver application.
If you launch it in portal and select a budget owner that gets populated in the first screen and click on "Review Details" button it basically calls a java web dynpro application which shows all the employess under that particular budget approver.
If you open HRECM00_PLANNING_OVERVIEW in se80,and goto the method "onactionopen_planning"(method which gets fired when "Review Details" button is clicked) you will see the last stament as-
ELSE.
          wd_this->launch_planning_ui( ).
        ENDIF.
Double click and go inside aunch_planning_ui().
method LAUNCH_PLANNING_UI .
DATA fpm                  TYPE REF TO if_fpm.
DATA navigation           TYPE REF TO if_fpm_navigation.
DATA key                  TYPE fpm_s_navigation_key.
DATA target_key           TYPE string.
fpm = cl_fpm_factory=>get_instance( ).
" Store table of pernrs in memory so that comp planning UI can read it
wd_assist->write_memory_for_planning(
    EXPORTING
      crevi               = wd_this->selected_crevi
      planning_pernr_tab = wd_this->planning_objec_tab ).
" Navigate to Compensation Planning iView
key-key1 = 'HRECM'.
key-key2 = 'HRECM_LAUNCH_PLANNING'.
navigation = fpm->get_navigation( is_key = key ).
target_key = navigation->get_key_from_alias( iv_alias = 'ECM_WDJ_LAUNCH' ).
navigation->navigate( iv_target_key = target_key ).
endmethod.
This is the standard code for the method.
navigation = fpm->get_navigation( is_key = key ). In this line its callin get_navigation and getting all the navigation parameters for the java wd application i beleive. If you go inside method get_navigation you will find in the last line its assigning
APPEND ro_navigation TO mt_navigation.
in mt_navigation if you go deep inside the class attributes at debug mode and see the attibute mt_target you will get an attribute application_params inside which the portal path(in bold) is getting fetched.
