Dependent's Details workflow in ESS MSS

Hello All ,
I am trying to create a workflow in ESS MSS which will be triggered from portal when employee will try to Add or change his dependent's details. Now my doubt is once employee is adding Dependent's details , it directly gets posted in Infotype - 0021 , Although My workflow is getting triggered after Posting but I want data to be posted once workflow is completed succesfully.

Hi,
How you are posting the change in dependent's details into IT0021 ? Is it through Custom RFC?
may be you need to change the process, You should create a task to post the data from portal to Infotype
using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION. This background task should get executed after final approval of the change.
There should not be automatic posting of the data.

Multi Level Leave workflow in ESS MSS

Hi Guys,
This is the first time I am working with ESS MSS and I have to implement 2 level workflow for leave, I have gone through lot of threads and concluded that i have to enhance class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS
with new method where I have to change the status back to SENT after first level of approval and create new background task and attach it to custom workflow which is copy of standard.
Now my problem is I have enhanced the class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS with new method change status but when I am creating the task I canu2019t see that method in drop down list of methods.
Any idea why it not showing.
We are on ECC6. EH4

Hi Atul
You are doing wrong way. You need to use BADI to enhance that for that goto SE18 search with PT_GEN* and get the BADI name and goto se19 and create a implementation for that there you in the desiered method you can code. But remember you cannot add you own need method the BADI. What ever SAP is providing that one only you can use to add additional code not addding new method.

Debugging Workflow in ESS/MSS module .

Hi,
I know the stpes to debugging simple workflow and trouble shooting the same, but now
I want to know the debuggibg workflow steps for workflow running with ESS/MSS module Framework,
The scenario is
Its actually Approving Forms in ESS/MSS module, The Employee applying medical leave from his Id, then it will go to first level approver inbox once he approve it goes to second level approver inbox once he approves then it will go to third level approver inbox and he is the final level approvel once he approve the proces will be done.
The problem is, After the second level approver approves the form its updating wrong third level approver so its not comming to third level approver inbox. The workflow is designed under Z class but I dont have update cone in Z class methods.
The updation part is comming under standard ess/mss framework code.
So please tell me the steps how i can debugg or execute worklow in background for all the steps,
like from first step I like pass the container to second steps and goes on.
Help really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
James.

Hi James
In ESS/MSS leave request the employee will apply the leave from portal and the workflow will triggered based on the spro which workflow template is used. Has you said that updation my custom cone. What is meant by that. Has as has i know we need to update the infotype 2001. This can be done by std FM.
To degbug.
In the put a external break point of the std FM which screen it call. I hope its called the webdypro java screen which nothing but a std FM. You need to find that FM. Then put a external breakpoint. change the user name from goto menu. Once you approve button is clicked in the portal. The debugger will open.

Also we need to patch our stack to the latest SP. Latest SP available in market is SP11 as we prefer n-1 we planned to go for SP10, but in MOPZ while selecting the target it gives option only for SP11 in the drop down. Any reason for it ?
As you could see our SAP-HR, EA-HR LSOFE are still in 600 release. If we select the target package in MOPZ to the latest will it upgrade the SAP_HR 600, EA-HR 600& LSOFE 600 components to SAP-HR 604, EA-HR 606, LSOFE 606 ?
If I had to install HR-Renewal 1.0 I would need EA-HR 607 and LSOFE 607, so can that be included in the same stack ?
Please advice.

ESS / MSS - is there a way to view Histories of FORMs submitted and processed?

Hi,
We're implementing the ESS / MSS RDS EP 6 (version 3.606 SAP Enterprise Portal scenario).
The project also includes the custom development of a number of Forms that will be integrated into ESS / MSS via iViews.
The customer requires a "HISTORY View" of FORMs for the ESS and MSS users.
It is the historic FORMs themselves that they want to be able to display - or as much of the Key information from the Forms that they can identify specific Form submissions (and not the related Workflows for these forms).
I'm told that there is no HISTORY view for Forms. The history functions for Workflows (in the UWL) is not really suitable for users but only for more technical analysis of workflows.
Does anyone know of a way of getting these history views of Forms without resorting to a custom development? e.g. is there a standard Report or a way of enabling Histories to be maintained and accessible?
Kind Regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
I think the best we could get is Process Browser application.
Can you refer this link and see if this helps.
Also try the WD Application - ASR_PROCESSES_DISPLAY.

ESS/MSS: Approve Leave Request in UWL - not working

Hi to all,
we are using web dynpro ESS/ MSS (SAPESS07_12/ SAPMSS07_4) in portal NW04s for mySAP ERP2005 and are using UWL in order to approve leave requests. If employees are creating leave requests, everything works fine. After that the manager opens the leave request in UWL, the web dynpro application is openening succesfully and after some clicks he reaches the buttons to approve or reject the leave request. But by pushing one of them the following messages occures :
Workitem 000000000000 Cannot be read
After pushing the button again, another message comes up:
No Customizing for status typ ARQ, Status approved...
By the way, the same errors also come up when the employee wants to delete his leave request which is not approved.
Any ideas, what can be the reason?
Regards,
Frank

Hi Ashutosh,
I have found the reason. The user WF - Batch in sap erp, which is using the RFC Destination for workflow, was locked. Well, it is a a little bit strange for a cummunication user that he becomes locked. Unlocked him, now all works.
Thanks for your support.

Frank
