Employee Search in MSS(ERP 2005)

Hi all,
I was looking at the employee search functionality in MSS (erp2005) which has a drop down box with four values:
--Direct Reports
--Employee from Organization structure
--Employee from organization unit
--Employee Search
How is this drop down box getting populated with these values? Is it configured in the IMG? OR is it getting this list from any function module?
I am developing a custom web dynpro application which has a drop down box and the values should be the same as above. So,
was wondering if there is any function module which I can reuse to populate my drop down.
Any clues?
Thanks.

Employee Search in MSS Approve Time Sheet Data

Employee Search in MSS Approve Time Sheet Data (Net Weaver Portal 2004s)
In MSS we need upper level managers to be able to approve time for employees who reside in lower level org units and are not the managers direct reports. This is usually the case when the chief the employees do report to directly is absent.
In the MSS Team view the links General Information, Compensation Information and Personnel Development have an Employee Search iView with a dropdown containing options for Direct Reports, Employees from Organizational Structure, Employees from Organizational Units and Employee Search. We have been told that in previous versions of MSS that functionality existed in the Approve Time Sheet Data iView as well which would appear to solve our problem.
Is this functionality available in Approve Time Sheet Data and if so how is it configured? Or is there another way (other than manipulating the org structure) for managers to view non-direct reports and approve their time?

Hi Mani,
It is a good thing you have found this post, as it demonstrates that you put in some effort to search for similar posts to your problem.
However, if the post you found is like 3 years old and there are no replies, chances are the guy did not find a solution or isn't visiting here anymore. So it might be a good idea to raise a new post, to increase you chances of getting some answers.

Employee search in MSS Team view

Hi,
Our requirement is to add a new criteria (employee by cost center) to the search criteria drop down in MSS Team view.
I have done the following steps in Object and Data provider node in spro-
u2022     Define rules for object selection
u2022     Define object selection
u2022     Define organizational structure views
u2022     Group organizational structure views
The new criteria is now visible in the dropdown, but on selecting the dropdown value no fields for input of cost center are displayed. Are there any settings that need to be done to define the input fields? If yes, what are these settings and where do I do them?
TIA.

Hi Diana,
Now I see the problem. And I dont think it is possible.
I recoment you to look at class CL_HRWPC_SEARCH_VIA_SELID. This class used by MSS for employee search. You can see it in IMG Define object selection. Copy and try modify it or find ther class you can use. I hope will work without any modification in NWDS.
All I did was definition rules for object selection where I put my FM for object selection. I did not enter any values the searsh was in the FM.

Link Personnal Data from ESS with Employee Search from MSS

Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible to create an iVew with on the top the "employee search engine" and on the bottom the "Personnal Data" from ESS package ?
Why that ? With the standard of MSS, I can change the personnal data from a specific employee through :
Team->General Information -> Related Links (Identity) and then I got a Popup with the ability to modify the personnal data.
I would like the same but in one iView and one click.
Is it possible ?
Thanks

When you select/click on an employee in the Employee search iview, an event is raised which is subscribed in all the iviews below the employee search in that page. This is how the update happens in the other iviews.
If you would like to put Employee Search iview at the top and personal data (From ESS) at the bottom, you will need to make changes in the personal data application of ESS and subscribe the event raised by the Employee Search.
Basically you can integrate any custom iview with the employee search iview.
Have a look at the following Wiki:

Employee search in MSS has an issue

Hi,
I' am logging into SAP Portal through a id who is a manager as per the configuration done in ECC and access Personnel change request iview under which I have 2 views 1) Employee search and 2) Direct reports.
When I select Direct reports am able to get the list of employees who reports to the manager but when I go to Employee search option and try to search through personnel number or last-name or first-name (of any employee who is displayed under direct reports) it is giving the message as no data found.
Can anyone help me in getting this resolved.

Pradeep

Empty iviews in MSS ERP 2005

Hi,
We've installed the above business package. When we click through the iviews, a lot of them are coming up empty.
For example the following iviews under Overview -> Team -> Employee Information are empty:
1) General Information
2) Compensation Information
3) Personnel Development
The "Create New Personnel Change Request" iview works though.
I've already applied OSS Note 903370.
Any other ideas ??
Thanks,

hi
This may be possible if System properties are not configured properly or backend authorisation SAP_ALl is not given to role .Basically some iviews are BSp iviews others are webdynpro and java .so can you check whether you have configured following
You set up the JCo connections on the Web Dynpro J2EE server on which the self-service components have been implemented.
 a. For ESS, set up the following JCo connections:
 SAP_R3_HumanResources
 SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
 SAP_R3_Financials
 SAP_R3_Financials_MetaData
 b. For the Self-Services Homepage used by all self-service applications, set up the following JCo connections:
 SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics
 SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
 c. For the self-service applications in the Travel Management area, set up the following JCo connections in addition to those connections previously mentioned:
 SAP_R3_Travel
 SAP_R3_TravelMetaData
 3. You make the settings required for the area group page (ESS homepage) and the area pages of the individual business areas (Working Time, Career and Job, Travel, and so on). 4. You set up the ESS users and maintain the required data.
5. You assign employees the authorizations for ESS.
 1. Access the Web Dynpro Content Administrator.
The URL is http://<host>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcwdtools/Explorer
 2. Log on using the administration user for the J2EE server.
 3. Create the required JCo connections or edit the existing ones. To do so, choose Maintain JCo Destinations.
A list of the JCo connetions for the metadata and those for the application data is displayed. Connections for various areas exist. The names of the connections start with SAP_R3_*.
JCo connection for metadata: SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData.
JCo connection for application data: SAP_R3_HumanResources.
If the software is already installed on the J2EE server, the Web Dynpro Content Administrator automatically recognizes which JCo connections are required.
 a. Configure the JCo connection for the metadata:
1. i. In the Connection Type step, choose the Dictionary Meta Data option.
2. ii. Choose Security.
3. iii. In the Used Method field, enter the User/Password.
4. iv. Enter a user in the SAP ECC system that you have created for the authorization check of the JCo connection.
5. v. Enter the password for the user.
6. vi. Check the connection.
If the user only has the authorizations from the S_DDIC_MDI profile, the system issues the following error message when you check the connection:
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception:(104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: No RFC authorization for function group SSCV for user <your metadata user>.
This message does not mean that the specified user does not have the required authorizations for the metadata. It means that the users authorizations are not sufficient to test the connection.
 b. Configure the JCo connection for the application data:
7. i. In the Connection Type step, choose the Application Data option.
8. ii. Choose Security.
9. iii. In the Used Method field, enter Ticket.
10. iv. Check the connection.
The system uses the administration user for the J2EE server with which you are logged on to check the authorizations. If this user does not exist in the SAP ECC
hope this helps you please do not forget to give points

How can I display appraisals in "employee search(MSS)"?

I created a new iView that is copied from employee search of MSS .
<pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.generalinfo_employeesearch>
I changed the properity as below.
Organizational Structure View > MSS_HAP_EE_SRCH
Group of Organizational Structure Views > MSS_HAP_STATUS
As a result I can confirm the screen of appraisal table in this iView but the appraisal data is not displayed in this iView.
Should I customise any more?
I think that the cause of this problem is in "HRHAP_PORTAL_COLUMN_FILL_ERP".
There is many parameters and table, but I cannot find the point to give it to this function module.
Best regards,
Makoto

I have found the standard iView & page...

MSS Implementation on mySAP ERP 2005 & Portal 7.0

Does anyone know what has happened to the appraisals functionality in MSS BP 1.0 mySAP ERP 2005?
The BP documentation indicates that the Appraisals Overview, Edit Appraisals, Appraisals Inbox & Status Overview functionality has been replaced by the new Appraisals iView with an underlying application to support it.
The new appraisals iView will display appraisals overview data but there seems to be no way of creating, editing or generally interacting with the appraisal documents once they are displayed in the table.
Am I missing something here (i.e. the other iViews have not been fully migrated to Web Dynpro and still require HTMLB) or am I just missing some back end config / implementation steps somewhere in ERP 2005?
Thanks in advance,

Peter,
Did you stick with the Team Viewer (MBO) iview?
I wondered if there was a way to configure the 'Employee Search' iview by linking the HAP_STATUS columns in the OADP config to a BSP service, but there's no documentation on how to start on this.

MSS Employee Search

Hi all,
I'm implementing a custom service for managers and I need to execute a employee search. I'm using FPM and I wanna know if there are a standard way to implement it. If so, which is and how can I do it?
Regards,
Gregory.

Hi Gregory,
Please have a look at the standard iview for Team Viewer.
Portal Content - Content provided by SAP - line_manager - Manager Self-Service - iViews - HCM - Employee Search (Generic iview)
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.genericiview_teamviewer
Under Employee Selection - you can see different options - Direct Reports, Employees for Org Structure, Employees for Org Units, and Employee Search.
This iview is configurable using the Backend configuration and changing a couple of iview properties.
You can also customize the search criteria according to your needs.
Here is the link with some info:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/b8/0808e1c6b44d90b906a4cf97ccc925/frameset.htm
You can integrate a copy of this iview (customized) into a page and then add your custom iview at the bottom and subscribe to the team viewer events as explained in the wiki link I mentioned earlier.
If you try to integrate the application directly using FPM integration - it will be hard to customize it to your needs.
Thanks,
Shanti

MSS Employee search and General Data

Hi All,
We are implementing ESS/MSS. When i preview "Employee Search" iview in (Content Provided by SAP>Line Manager> Employee Search) iview. It shows all employees under that line manger with all options. But when i click on any employee, it is not showing any information. I tried to test "General Data" iview, it simply shows "Please select any employee, to display data" text only.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Krish.

Hi,
Please check your OADP customizing.
If your system is at ERP 2004 release refers to ~
Different Features of OADP based on ERP 2004 https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/DifferentFeaturesofOADPbasedonERP+2004
If your system is at ECC 6.0 release refers to ~

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/DifferentfeaturesofOADPbasedonECC+6.0
For ECC 6.0 you can check your customizing by testing function module HRWPC_OADP_TEST as shown in above link.

MSS and Employee Search on General Overview

Hi,
we are using MSS 1.0 and EP7.0/ECC 6.0 .
We are using the MSS page "General Information". So far, it works fine, you can select the people with "Employee Search" and the iviews display the data accordingly on the page.
Now, we have added the iview "Appraisals"from another page. But it does not react to the selected employee on the page.
Is there a special parameter, when I move one MSS iview from one page to another, where I tell them to use the selected employee on the new page?
Any answer will be rewarded,
thanks
hs

Hi Holger,
We are testing MSS for ERP 1.0. You said your Employee Search iView is able to select employees and display accordingly. I'm hoping that maybe you would know why my Employee Search iView does not allow me to select the employees. It always shows the first employee in the General Information iView. There is no checkboxes, hyperlinks, dble-clicks or anything to select another employee.
Thanks - Kenneth

Customizing standard MSS Employee Search (Web Dynpro Java)

Hi Guys,
Currently I am working on EP 7.0, and we have some requirements on MSS Employee Search.
Based on SAP help:
Technical Names of iViews :     com.sap.pct.erp.mss.employeesearch_geinfo
Technical Names of Web Dynpro Applications :     sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation
So downloaded package msseeprosap.com through NWDI, and opened in NWDS.
There are 3 applications there:
com.sap.xss.hr.eeprofile.GeneralInformation
com.sap.xss.hr.eeprofile.CompensationInformation
com.sap.xss.hr.eeprofile.PersonnelDevelopment
and 2 Components:
CEmployeeProfile_1Comp
CEmployeeProfileAllComp
but there is no views inside these 2 components which contains the screen layout.(E.g: Dropdown list for Employee Selection, Input fields for Last name, Personal Number, Personal area, etc)
How can I identify which package contains the screen layout for employee search?
Thanks a lot.

currently our project has a requirement to modify Employee Search iview: When user select one Org Unit, We need to have a button under the table which contains the users.
We imported package msstmvsap.com and found that it is using OADP screen.
Thus we imported pcui_gpoadpsap.com, we feel View "DataViewView" is the view that contains the user table, so I simply added one textview there, then deploy to server.
Then I run Employee Search, it is giving error
   java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sap.xss.ser.oadp.java.OADPObject incompatible with com.sap.xss.ser.oadp.java.OADPObject
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.VTeamViewerComp.onBeforeOutput(VTeamViewerComp.java:303)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.wdp.InternalVTeamViewerComp.onBeforeOutput(InternalVTeamViewerComp.java:210)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.VTeamViewerCompInterface.onBeforeOutput(VTeamViewerCompInterface.java:144)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.wdp.InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface.onBeforeOutput(InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface.java:136)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.wdp.InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface$External.onBeforeOutput(InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface.java:212)
Then i removed that textview, deploy again, still it has this problem.
Any help?
Thanks with rewarding points!

Guo Feng

ISR NATIVE CONTROLS ERP -2005 is not working in ECC 6.0, MSS 1.0 Version

Hi,
Does anybody knows, why the ISR Controls for ERP 2005 is not working properly. We utilized the DropDown List Controls, we binded to the correct field in the FORM. We have filled the ADDITIONAL_DATA table, on the SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES method also, to populate .
The DropDown values are not populating in runtime.
We are running ECC 6 Version, Basis is on SP12, and Application Platform is on SP09. We have MSS 1.0 for SP 10.
What might be the problem, what do you feel about procedure in ISR Controls binding?
INFO: It doesn't have that SAP-VHLIST , illusion here.
Please guide me , as I am strucked from all ways, any note, patch to apply, any config issue.
thanks,
chitti babu

Hello,
In case of DDLB, apart from the binding, there's something else needs to be done.
Goto binding tab : incase adobe life cycle designer 7.1, a link "Specify item values" is highlighted.
$record.sap-vhlist.FIELDNAME\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].
Item Text : text
Item Key :key.
This should resolve ths issue.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
