Download to excel through ESS/MSS

Hi All.
I'm using the function GUI_DOWNLOAD to download an internal table to excel, and it works fine when the program is ran from SAPGui, but when ran from the browser (ESS/MSS), the file generated doesn't come with the TAB delimiter, so excel can not open it directly (it opens in a single column).
Any idea on how to fix this?
thanks in advance,
Hermes.

Hi Hermes,
Are u using the tab as delimeter in interal table to seprate the records?
If not use following:
constants: c_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Itab-field1 = 'a'.
Itab-field2 = 'b'.
Itab-field3 = 'b'.
concatenate Itab-field1 Itab-field2 Itab-field3 seprated by c_tab.
Then download the records.

ESS / MSS - download function module doens't work

Hi all,
We are working with SAP 4.6c, and using function GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data to xls file. When we access the application through ESS / MSS, we don't know why, but it doesn't take into consideration parameter WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = "X". The result is, it'll download the data into the file, but when we open it, the entire record is contained in just one cell. Running the same program using SAP GUI, it works perfectly.
Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
TAG: ESS, MSS, GUI_DOWNLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD, EMPLOYEE SELF SERVICE, MANAGER SELF SERVICE.

Hi Cassio,
Is the data in internal table is tab separated or not?
If not then make the data of internal tabel as tab separated before downloading.
Do like this:
DATA: c_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Suppose you have a comma as field separator then to make it as tab seprated use thsi syntex.
REPLACE ALL OCCURANCES OF SPACE IN ITAB WITH C_TAB.
Or Loop the internal table and append the data of 1st internal table into another int. table using c_tab as separaptor.
Then use GUI_DOWNLOAD. this time it will download the records properly.

ESS/MSS 1.31 version for download

Hi where can I find the downloads for the version ess/mss 1.3,HR admin 1.1,talent developement,simplified reporting etc.. for NW2004s?
Thanks
KK

You would have to connect to SAP Service Market Place @ http://service.sap.com/swdc and then follow the following path.
In the left hand side go to
SAP Software Distribution Center -> Download -> Support Packages and Patches -> Search for Support Packages and Patches
and then in the RHS
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group -> SAP Application Components -> SAP ERP ->SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE -> SAP ENH PACK 3 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 -> Entry by Component ->Portal Content
Over there you will get
1 - BP ERP05 ESS 1.31
2 - BP ERP05 HR ADMINISTRATOR 1.11
3 - BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS 1.31
4 - BP ERP05 MSS 1.31
And the XSS Components you will get at
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group -> SAP Application Components -> SAP ERP ->SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE -> SAP ENH PACK 3 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 -> Entry by Component ->SAP XSS (Self Services)
Thanks,

Impact of ESS/MSS Business Packages

We are implementing the SAP Portal and therefore will be downloading and installing the ESS/MSS Business Packages. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me if there is any impact on any SAP HR existing functionalities as a result of this. Do we need to be aware of any issues that you may have encountered in your implementation.
Thanks
Pascal

Hi Pascal
I don't think any problem with existing functionality. but you need to make sure you download and install the correct version and SP stack.
Refer to [HOW TO GET RID OF SP STACK MISMATCH ISSUES |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOWTOGETRIDOFSPSTACKMISMATCHISSUES]
Hope it will helps

A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
Just say No money to Redmond!
Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

Travel Expenses through ESS Not Moving to the MSS of Immediate Boss

Dear Gurus,
After the travel request has been approved by the immediate boss on MSS, employee is creating the Travel expense
report for the same request number through ESS.
But After saving and Sending the travel expense report for Approval through ESS by the employee,
Expense report for Approval is not Moving in the MSS of his Immediate Boss.
Kindly suggest how to achieve this, Immediate boss should approve/Reject the Travel Expense Report through MSS.
Any standard workflow existing for this ?? For Travel Request we are using 20000050 and it is working fine.
For Travel Expenses through ESS:-
We have already activated 20000040 and configured the same in T Code SWETYPV.
Object we are using is BUS2089.
Kindly let me know which Event and Functional module is configured in T Code SWETYPV.
Or any other steps we are missing Or any other Workflow to be used to achieve this ???
We need Travel Expense Approval on MSS by the immediate Boss.
Regards,
Edwin

Hi,
Try checking agent assignments of task TS 20000135:
Tcode PFTC:
Task type: Standard Task
Task: 20000135
Display
From top menu choose: Additional data --> Agent assignment --> Maintain
Click "Attributes..." and chooce "General Task" and then "Transfer".
Then click Red and White ball icon (refresh index Shift+F1).
Check also (using SWDD) that WS20000040 has agent maintained for task 20000135. I am not sure if it is there in standard. You can choose superior of the initiator rule from drop-down if it is not maintained.

Download to excel from web report generated through ITS

We were on SAP 4.6B. We have several abap reports for which we have a web interface using ITS. On the broweser output we have provided a URL which reads 'Download to CSV file' . This has been achieved by modifying the function www_get_report. The mod first generates a unique filename and exports the name to the memory and generates the hyperlink. The abap report program ftp'ies a the csv file to the ITS server path as in the URL.
Now we have upgraded to ECC 5.0 and we want to achieve the download to CSV option without the modification. What would be the best way to achieve this in the netweaver platform.

Sofia,
The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.

Business Package ESS/MSS

Hello folks,
I'm getting started with this package that i don't have much knowledge on it and i'd like to know about the customizations that we've inside R/3 that may be done by the IMG. Do you guys know where can i find a customization map / guide regarding these Business Packages(ESS/MSS) that i could use? I saw 2 links Employee Self-Service and Manager Self-Service in Personal Management, but i would like to have a proper documentation that could guide me.
Thanks in advance,
Andre

Hi
Go through this
Yes there are 3 sca available in Service Marketplace for ESS and MSS. The path is
service.sap.com->Software Download->SAP Application Components->SAP ERP->SAP ERP 2004->SAP XSS.
Here You can find there latest patches for ESS, MSS and PCUI_GP.
You can deploy these on your J2EE server. Then you need to create the systems in the portal and configure the JCO.
Here is the link that explains the same.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/38/e8584c2a664547b60442646bee23b6/frameset.htm
JDI is needed if you want to change the ESS Applications. You don't need to create and iViews as SAP delivers standard iViews for all of its services.
If you need any more information, let me know.
I this is useful for u rewad me... you also can get points...

Row Grouping in Excel through ABAP OLE

Hi Experts,
I am downloading some ALV report output using OLE with different formatting. The downloaded file has to show data
in the grouping format.
For example;
Interanl table contains fields : Customer Number and sales Order, Amount,
Customer Number sales Order Amount
1000                     120000001   3000.30
1000                     120000002   3400.00
1001                     122000001   2000.00
1001                     122000002   3440.00
After it downloaded the Excel should contains only two line(by dfaultt)
+    1000                120000001 3000.30
+    1001                 122000001 2000.00
When you click on symbol(+) then hidden rows will shown.
We can do it in Excel by using Group. Just select few rows(row number 1 to 5) and then go to
DATA->GROUP AND OUTLINE->GROUP.
Then u will see one line for the selected rows.
Can anybody tell me how to achieve it through OLE in ABAP. Your inputs are highly needed for me. Thank you so mush!
Regards,
Meera.

We can do it, Can anybody tell me OLE Mehod which should I use in the reprot?

ESS/MSS Installation to R/3 4.7 Enterprise

Goodday Guru's,
I've just received a requirement to install and configure ESS/MSS. Backend system is on R/3 4.7 and Portal is on EP 6.0. I have downloaded ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1_19 for this requirement. There would not be any development work, only out of the box standard ESS/MSS configuration. I believe that most of you out htere have succesfully implemented such a requirement. Would you mind sharing your experience with me? Any step-by-step guide would be very appreciated.
P.S:- Just a quick check. For this requirement, do i need to download ESS/MSS/PCUI for WebDynpro component? I know that it is needed for ERP2004 (ECC 5.0).
Regards,
Johan

Hi Johan
the following is procedure that u need.
if u have all DVD/CD for installation than go by following.
if ur os is win2000 -- SP4 needed or use WIN2003 server

set JAVA_HOME variable in win2000 enviorenment variable.
set path c:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin;
install oracle with no database (do not create any databse during oracle installation, look oracle installation documentation)
apply oracle patch.
set ORACLE_HOME under win2000 enviorenment variable.
set ORACLE_SID under win2000 enviorenment variable.
where sid is ur sap system id i.e EPD
install j2ee server.
install portal.
install CM if u want.
install ITS 6.20 on same system or Other win2000/2003 system (IIS required. look installation document)
create system i.e R3,ITS in portal according to document that i send,
