Development of Business Package?

Hi,
a Business Package needs to be developed, and the following are the prerequisites.
Primary Backend System: SAP R/3 4.6C
iView Runtime Technology: Java/WebDynpro (6.40 & higher)
Portal Release: EP 6 NetWeaver 04
Prerequisites: No use of ITS to access backend
The classic transactions from SD module of SAP R/3 4.6c like Enquiry(VA11),Quotation(VA21) & Order(VA01) need to be realised on the Enterprise Portal. Use of ITS to access them isnt encouraged(in other words, it is to be avoided).
I have come across webdynpros which can be used to access a set of BAPIs etc to realise a process.
As the above mentioned transactions are not business objects etc, how can they be accessed through Webdynpros with minimal effort(ofcourse use of ITS not allowed).
New ideas & suggestions are welcome.
Thnx in advance
Regards
Meesum

Business Package for Talent Development Specialist

Hi,
   we are planning to implement the business packages for Talent Development Specialist.
   Where can I find this business package for download ?
   I couldn´t found it in this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio

Hi Silvio
this was first delivered with the enhancement packages for SAP ERP 6.0. These enhancement packages are downloaded and installed differently. One important transaction for the downloading is the Solution Manager - Maintenance Optimizer.
For the complete picture, I suggest, that you go over the Master Guide for SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP ERP, or that you take a look to the "Must Know" from teh SAP Service Marketplace service.sap.com/erp-ehp.

Not sure if you got an answer for this question. Just saw this..
See SAP Help URL http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/42/ef6861370a1bcae10000000a11466f/content.htm
Excerpt below from SAP Help on Context ID:

Are Business Packages Useless ?

For a customer implementation, we are evaluating the EP Business packages.
the Customer has mySAP 4.7 and BW, and interested in the areas of purchasing, finance, controlling, inventory management. The customer is not using SAP-HR.
we are finding that the business packages are very shallow, and hardly provide any useful functionality.
We feel that SAP has over hyped that Business Packages will solve all your problems and will provide considerable EP content for business users.
Our findings are that Business Packages (except for ESS, MSS and for CRM/SRM) are very shallow, and you can do things better using your current SAP transactions and BW queries.
i would be interested to know your experiences and if you are happy with the Business Package offering from SAP.

Actually, we do have standard business scenarios in Finance, Purchasing, Controlling, Inventory and Materials Management.
We did evaluate each and every BP from SAP for EP.
The fact is that BPs are shallow and hardly provide useful functionality for standard scenarios.
I can find that BPs for ESS, MSS for SAP-HR, and the SAP CRM, SRM have some significant funcationality.
All the rest of the BPs targetted for SAP ERP and BW do not have useful iviews. Also, all the transactions that are useful are delivered through SAPGUI or ITS transactions. We can develop the same thing without using the BP.
Hence, our finding is:
- BP for mySAP ERP provide 10% functionality.
- The rest of the scenarios have to developed by the customer through SAPGUI / ITS / custom developed iViews.
- BW queries are customer specific based on how we run our business. The BP queries are not useful and we have to use our currently developed BW queries.
Overall, we are quite disappointed and disagree with the statement that BP can be valuable and can accelerate EP project development.
I would be interested to see where and how you derived 80% benefit through BPs. I hope you can prove me wrong

What exactly is a business package?

and how do I create one?
I have some content (a par file loaded into and iView and placed on a page) I need to put it in a Business Package in order for it to be certified.
All the help seems to be on using them rather than creating them
Vin

Hi Vin,
SAP defines: "Business packages are the delivery unit for portal content running on SAP Enterprise Portal. They contain pre-configured portal content structures that can easily be integrated into an existing portal infrastructure. These content structures should be developed according to the guidelines and requirements that are contained in this document. They specify how you should structure the content elements to maximize reusability of portal content and provide users with an intuitive user interface."
Also see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/icc - how to certify portal content - ep-bp.pdf

ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
SAP_ESS 603 SP4
SAP_MSS 600 SP15
We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
We have freshly installed a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
While upgrading, following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
SAP_ESS 603 SP6
MSS 600 SP17
PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.
We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created track    in the New NWDI server.
2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.
Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
There is a cook book provided by SAP as attachment of note 872892. you can follow the process to have your custom DC's migrated to new Support pack of ESS/MSS.

MDM 7.1 Business Package -- Item Details iView eventing

We are using MDM 7.1 Business package in portal. We have requirement where we need to make the fields clickable /mouse over on the item details iView so that when the user clicks/mouse over on the field it should popsup a custom webdynpro application. I was checking the business package documentation and it seems there is only one epcf event for post save which can trigger custom webdynpro when user clicks save button but nothing else on field levels. Can anybody shed some light on this. Any other approach other than custom development of whole details view?
Thanks

ESS/MSS business packages "Deployed with Warning"

Hello All,
 We are on NW04s SP10 on MS SQL server and Windows server. The Database and portal installations or on different machines. I installed the business packages ESS 1.0, MSS 1.0 and the XSS components - 600 using the JSPM.

Now, after this, when I log into the portal and see the MSS role, the links are all missing. I see only Overview and its worksets and pages and Reports and its worksets. Everything else is missing. The warning that I see is "Linked object is unavailable"
Could anyone please suggest me what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Sunitha

Hi Sunitha,
First of all I was not able to find if your backend is ERP 2004 or ERP 2005. It should be ERP 2005 if you want to user ESS 1.0 and MSS 1.0 BP
Please check in Content Administrator if you can locate these applications and test the same. If yes then you can ignore this warning. If No, in that case you have to redeploy XSS, ESS and MSS using SDM again.
The links in portal comes from your backend Area Page Customizing. To verify if the problem is with your Portal Business Package or with your backend customizing run your ESS applications using
http://<portal>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuArea?sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT&sap.xss.menuargrp=SAPDEFAULTESS
and MSS using
http://<portal>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuArea?sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT&sap.xss.menuargrp=SAPDEFAULTMSS
If you can see all the links correctly here, your backend customization is fine and there is a problem with your BP of ESS and MSS. So you will have to import the same again in the portal. However if you are not able to view the links in the page, then there is a problem with you Area Page Customization. You will need to check your config with the Client 000 configuration to find out the missing config.
Hope this helps.

Shubham

What is best UI technology to use for custom business package

Hi,
I have a requirement to develop a custom Business Package for Treasury in Finance. With my past experience I am leaning towards Web Dynpro for Java.
Client does not have any programming language consideration.
Is there any body who has done something like this ? Can some expert suggest me if my choice of Web Dynpro might not be good and why?

Hi,
If you don't have complex business logics and lot of portal runtime interaction then webDynpro is the best choice considering the ease of development and look and feel.
But your answer to the question is yes then you can think of java iView development along with webDynpro.
Thanks,

SAP_ESS Business Package Upgrade

Hi All,
Can you guide for steps needed to upgrade SAP_ESS business package from SAP_ESS 600 to SAP_ESS 603?
Is it simpley done through JSPM or some different Tool?
Will the SAP_ESS 600 PCD contents will ge overwritten by new components? as we have some custom codes.
Can both version work in Parallel in same system?
Thanks
Lakshmi

Hi,
Check the link for creating track:
How to Migrate Developed Software Components to a New Release in NWDI
And to answer your question:
1. You need to create a New Track
2. Ensure all the dependent components are compatible with ESS 603
    Check the link to find out the compatible versions http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOWTOGETRIDOFSPSTACKMISMATCHISSUES
3. All of your custom developments will be in a custom software Component(SC)
   (a) In this case in the Old Track go the SC where you have all of your custom developments
   (b) In the Consolidation Tab of the Old Track select the SC and do an export.
   (c) In the new Track define SC with the latest Dependent Components
   (d) In the cms/inbox keep the exported SCA file from step (b)
   (e) After the import of the file you have your custom developments in the new track.
4. If you have modified the code from the standard ESS application, after the upgrade the changes will go.
5. You need to do the code changes manually to all the Standard Component changes.
Revert back if you have any questions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod
