The Previous employer service enables the employees at your enterprise to display and edit data on their own previous employers.
there is no std service for Education qualification, you can develop a service using an abaper

Hi Kiran,
There is no need to develop iViews for ESS. ESS comes with all iViews, pages, and roles provided by SAP. All you need to do is assign the ESS role to the end user.
Firstly answer these questions:-
1) Why do you need to develop WebDynpro iViews for ESS?
2) Have you already downloaded ESS Business Package and using it?
3) Have you got the NWDI installed?
4) Have you got NetWeaver Developer Studio installed?
If you can manage to answer these questions clearly, I hope someone might be able to help you?

Expense Report - attach Images documentum

Hi All,
I have some doubts regarding ESS and MSS travel expense module.
1) Can we integrate expense voucher document images (documentum) with travel expenses                  module?
2) Do we have the same functionality inside Travel expense module of ESS and MSS portal?
      2a) Can a person creating travel expenses in portal view images?
      2b) Can a manager view those voucher images using travel expense approval                                module of mss?
3) Do we need any customization to achieve the above functionality?
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Attachement of the expenses is available with the ECC 6.0 Eh P2 fuctionality and also Manager can view from UWL.
But i guess there are some Prerequisites configuration for these (i guess KM and DMS should be available...am not sure just go through the Eh P2 Business function)

Thank in advance for your help,

Hello Juan,
what you are looking at is standard functionality provided by the WD ABAP ALV table view (which is used by the POWL - of which these are examples) - the user themselves can define their own views of the data (and you can I believe - although I have not yet tried - even define them globally and assign them as defaults).
Have a look at the POWL feeder class used by the appraisal status view - I think that it explicitly enhancable through a BAdI - if not then you could always just enhance the feeder class yourself. I'm not sure that you could include an action link column in the POWL, but you can certainly include a new button at the top of the list - and allow actions to be launched on selecting a row of the table and then clicking that button.
For more details on POWL - have a look at [SAP help doco on POWL|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/46/65c34314e97184e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]
and as an answer to your original question -
[doco on the view used in POWL|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/46/65c34314e97184e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]

Doubt with Services ESS

Dear Experts.
I created a service using the t.code PTARQ . This service must call an URL.
This URL is different for each client in the portal. for example
In the client DEV the URL is:
URL of Resource Object:
http://ucmcapacitacion/capture/WebCapture.Asp
In the client QAS the URL is:
URL of Resource Object
http://172.30.224.168/capture/WebCapture.Asp
And in the client PRD is other URL.
My question is: How can solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Regards

I would suggest to create either Web Dynpro Java or Web Dynpro ABAP application which will call URL.
And within the code you can write the logic to open the link in respective clients.
Here is a sample code for Web Dynpro Java application:
String serverName = "";
serverName = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getServerName();
int portNumber = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getServerPort();
url = url.concat(serverName + ":" + portNumber);
keep a if condition to check the current URL with your current portal url and open the window
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow();
hope this helps.

Reg- Travel and Expense in ESS

Hi All
We have already implemented Travel and Expense in ESS. Now we have below issue
When the user creates Expense Report (Self Service -> Travel & Expense in ESS portal), at Review and Send step (step-3), there is a button - "Display Reimbursement Details"
If user clicks this button, a PDF form is opened in new window. Problem is, all the expense types (like Airfare, Employee Activities, etc) are grouped under Others and showed in Summary of Expense Reports in the PDF form
My doubt is, how this pdf form is getting generated, is it from std. SAP or by means of config. we need to handle? Also user says, previously it was working fine (means- All the expense types were displayed correctly in Summary of Expense Reports in the PDF form)
But now all expenses are clubbed and showed as Others with total amount. Please help me and provide your inputs
Vinoth

Yes you can control in customisation
check
V_T706S_RECEIPT and V_T706B1
Furthermore, in FITVFELD_WEB can you check that you have the field
'receipt date' activated, it checks the entries in V_T706S_RECEIPT
Please also check the customising in FITVFELD_WEB to ensure corresponds
with customising in FITVFELD etc
One more thing to consider is the Badi "TRIP_WEB_CUSTOMIZING" as this
makes it possible to limit the expense types for the dropdown list if
this is a requirement but it does it before the trip schema is
chosen. That means that the limitation will affect all the schemas, and
not only one.

HR/ESS - HRXSS_PER_READ_P0210_US/IRSLI, W-4, Filing Status

Two problems.
1. HR configured IRS Mandates in SAP. When an employee is IRS Mandates, a SAP field called IRSLI returns "X", else returned ""(empty). ESS' web dynpro model is HRXSS_PER_P0210_US. I guess one class under this model HRXSS_PER_READ_P0210_US would read in this IRSLI value. In ESS Context, we have a node to catch this IRSLI. When IRSLI equals "X", the employee's W4 will be displayed without EDIT button. That means IRS Mandates employee can not modify W4.
In QA, after the above change is made, ESS works fine, and EDIT button is hidden for IRS Mandates employee. In NW Developer Studio, Debugger shows IRSLI="X".
In production infotype 161, HR successfully configured IRS Mandates. In infotype 210, it clearly shows IRS Mandates checkbox is checked for the employee. But in production ESS, the IRS Mandates employee can still see the EDIT button in W4. I cannot debug directly in production, but I added a print command into the web dynpro program. The print command shows IRSLI="" in ESS.
The version of ESS in QA and production are the same. I have repeatedly deployed them and set some print commands to make sure they are current. ESS relies on the SAP field IRSLI returned from the model HRXSS_PER_P0210_US. But in QA, it seems SAP backend (QSS) can return IRSLI="X", but in production (PSS), it returns IRSLI="". Our SAP analyst checked on SAP side, and all configuration is fine. We tried to run a testing with HRXSS* program in SAP backend, but this program is hard to run because it needs a lot of inputs and settings.
My question is: is this a backend problem or front end problem?
As a web dynpro developer, I usually modify web dynpro programs in NW Developer Studio, then test them in QA in SAP portal (backend is QSS). After everything is good in QA, I deploy them to production. In this case, when I test it in QA, everything is fine. After deployment to production, it is NOT good. Very strange. I will appreciate any advice.
System info:
ESS version 600 SP13. Back end is ECC 6.0. JDK 1.4.2_13. SAP portal 7.0. ESS is in SAP portal.

Sorry, I posted problem #2 here. When I posted it with problem #1 above, all new-lines disappeared and made it hard to read.
2. This is another problem in ESS W4. Filing status dropdown has options such as married, single, head of household, etc. Our HR decided to remove head of household from the dropdown. SAP analyst configured the backend, and I did not do anything on web dynpro side. After the configuration is done in QSS, I logged on ESS in QA (sap portal). I could see head of household disappeared from the dropdown. This meant everything is a success and it is good to go to production.
The SAP analyst transported his configuration from QSS into production (PSS). But, when I logged on ESS in production, the head of household showed up in the dropdown!
I did not do anything on web dynpro side. I did not have any transport. It was a configure on SAP backend, and the analyst had transported it. I do not even know what the analyst did. Why it was working in QA (QSS) , but not production (PSS)? Is this a web dynpro front end problem or a backend problem?
Our QSS and PSS are the same in data, configuration and programs. While QSS and PSS are working differently, I am worried and doubting if they are really the same.
I will appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance.

Files to be imported from CMS inbox for ESS

Hi ALL,
I am planning to create a track for SAP ESS software component version. I have doubt here. DO I need to have all these components in CMS inbox and import on the track with source files along with SAP ess software component.
     DI BUILD TOOL 7.00
     EP BUILD TOOL 7.00
     SAP J2EE ENGINE 7.00
     SAP JAVA TECH SERVICES 7.00
Thanks in advance..
James

You mean, I will need the source to be imported right? Not just defining the dependency?
Ans:-Correct
Also, I am trying to modify ESS software component. DOnt you think I would need that?
Ans:- I assume you are already importing that. I just answered in context with the question you have asked.
For your second question, refer to SAP Note 761266.

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. ...

Adding general and specific links on Benefits plans in ESS

Hi Experts,
I am trying to provide general and specific links to each benefit plan in ESS. SAP provides a IMG customization for this: spro>Personal Management>Benefits>Employee Self-Service>Define URLs.
I need to enter the URL parameters here. I have a doubt here. what should I give the path of a URL. Can i create a BSP application (a HTML file containing the description about the plan) and provide the path of the link in URL path?
What should I do if I want to display the description of each plan in a PDF file and provide a link to that PDF on ESS?
Thanks!
I

Quite simply....the URL link is exactly that....the link as it would appear in your browser. Typically, for general informtion about plan types, you would have something like "http://intranet.myCompany.com/benefits_us.html" and then for the plans themselves, it might be the link to the actual company's web site like "http://www.DocInABox.com".
The links can be to whatever...a web site, a PDF file, a Word document, etc.....as long as it can be reached via a URL. Since the "context" of the information will be fairly static, just throwing together a simple web page is usually the easiest method (and it allows for easy maintenance since HR folks will often want changes....not to mention the marketing people too!).
As far as how/where to store the internal content, that will depend on your own company's policies. It could be some content server or web server out on your network or you could even store the files/pages/content in KM and reference them from there. The sky is the limit.

Upgrade from ESS 1.0 to ESS 1.2

Dear Experts,
      I have EP 7.0 and ECC 6.0. Now my client wants to install EHP2 on ECC 6.0 for getting some additional features in travel management like attachment which is not there in ESS 1.0. So they have decided to install EHP2 in ECC 6.0 and supporting to this we will be installing ESS 1.2. Currently our system is up and running with all configurations done on both side ECC as well as in EP. I have a doubt if we install ESS 1.2 on our EP 7.0 which has ESS 1.0 will I need to do all the configurations in EP again like defining system, UWL configuration, UME configuration, creating users etc etc.
Please help.

Dear Achim,
      Thanks for your help. I have successfully upgraded my system to BP 1.2. Now ESS users are able to use the webdynpro ABAP screen's specially the Travel Management screen's. I have applied the note 1076144 with uwl_com_sap_pct_erp_mss_tra_12.zip correction for getting the webdynpro ABAP screens to managers for approvals too.
      My ESS user is applying for travel request the managers are able to approve it through UWL. But when ESS user creates a expense for the same request with attachments the managers are not getting the WD ABAP screens, they get error. I tried seeing the trace file it says "An error occured in iView: N/A in component: N/A##".
      Can you thow some light on this??

Vaibhav Patil.

Making an ESS Field Mandatory

Does anyone know how to make an ESS Field mandatory?
I've looked at this thread, and tried it, but it doesn't appear to work...
[Customizing V_T588MFPROPC to be in agree to T588M |Customizing V_T588MFPROPC to be in agree to T588M;
By selecting "Mandatory" in the Administrative Personalization simply puts a red asterisk next to the field but does not contain business logic.
I'm hoping for a solution that 1. Doesn't require ABAP programming 2. Doesn't require Java WD Programming.
Please let me know if such a solution exists.
Thanks,
-Tim

have you tried this cause it works correctly without doubt I have done it, please check for bank information for example
Of course it works without a doubt, Please check the customisation of the table V_T588MFPROPC
0006 10 P0006 AREAC X
0006 10 P0006 TELNR X
These are the fields for telephone number, earlier these were not mandoratory with these settings, they become required,
Please check
