Employee Search iView and dyanmic iViews

We are implementing MSS Business package (mySAPERP 2005). We have a requirement to design a page with Employee search iView ( Team viewer), universal worklist and a report iView. What we are trying to achieve is that if a manager selects an employee in the team viewer the employee profile iviews (General Data and Personal data which are dependent on the pernr that is passed from Team viewer) should appear in the same page replacing universal worklist and the reports iView.If anyone has done this, please share your experience with us. Thanks in advance

You might can a better response in one of the functional forums as it is probably some HR backend setup that is incorrect.

MSS General Information (Employee Search iview Fetching wrong Manager)

Hi,
In MSS we have General Information page which has Employee Search iview. This iview display the information in a table which has several columns... (Name, Personal Number, Manager, Position, Staffing Ration, Job... etc)
The problem is under the Manager Section its displaying the wrong Manager Name, it should show the name of manager who has logged in but instead its showing some other manager.
e.g. If David has logged in as a Manager and is searching for employees reporting him then in the employee search iview it show David's name as Manager for all his reportees) But in our case instead of David its showing wrong manager name.
We have checked from functional point of view and the reporting relationship is okay as the manager (David) is able to approve the leave requests and overtime requests raised by his reportees.
Kindly suggest a solution.
Regards,
Mittal

1) For all other managers its working fine but this is the case with only one manager.
2) Can you please tell me which is that FM which gets called through standard Java Webdynpro iview.
Thanks

Employee search iview serch by last name- how to make it case insensitive

Hi All,
We are using the compensation planning iview on MSS and in the top SAP has employee search iview to select the team. In their is an option to serach by employee first/last name. It works fine but the user has to type in the exact case the last name was saved in infotype.
For example - last name Brown exists in our system. If you serarch using "br" it does not find it but if you do "Br" it finds the
right employee.
My question is - is there a way to change it so that the search does not consider the lowe/upper case and finds the name if matches anyway.
Thanks for your help

Hi, if you're at least on ECC 6.0, check the note [1106196|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1106196] for a custom configuration of search field.

Pass pernr from employee search iView to abap webDynpro in Related Activity

Hi All,
I have seen many threads explaining how to pass pernr from employee search iView to custom ABAP webDynpro application in the "Employee profile" page. Also seen sap note 1112733.
I am trying to launch custom ABAP webDynpro application from "Related Activities" view found in the employee information page in MSS. I want to pass pernr selected from Employee Search iView to the ABAP webDynpro application in "Related Activities" view.
In the ABAP webDynpro application, I am listening to the portal event (as per note 1112733) but the ABAP webDynpro can not catch the event.
Anyone has passed pernr from employee search iView to the ABAP webDynpro application launched from "related activities" view?

Hi Ashutosh,
can you tell me exactly what you did? I have the same issue.

Employee search iview integration into Detailed navigation

EP7
ESS/MSS 600
ECC6
Hello,
In the EP6 version of the TeamViewer it was easily added to the "Detailed Navigation" part of the page. Does anyone know how to achieve this in EP7 with Employee Search?
thx
Larry

Any iViews can be added to the navigation panel. All you need to do is add them to another iView or page as either a related link or as a dynamic navigation. The related links appear under a section in the navigation panel called "related links", Dynamic navigation iViews appear with their proper name in the navigation panel.
Cheers

How to get PERNR from employee search(teamviewer) iView in to a WD-4-ABAP.

Hello All,
I had developed a new Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A) component for updating a custom Infotype. This application is meant for the manager to maintain some specific data through portal for his employees in the team.
WD4A application is built based on the employee number it receives from the portal.
     How could I get PERNR from employee search(teamviewer) iView in to my WD4A component?
In portal I had developed a test page by copying the standard page from MSS com.sap.pct.erp.mss.general_information, and added my WD4A application through an iView into this page.
Then I hided all the other iVews in the page except (1) employee search and (2)my WD4A iVew. On the preview everything appears fine.
During the preview of this page it triggers the WDDOINIT of WD4A component main view and then the WDDOMODIFYVIEW. When I select an employee from the employee search, then it triggers only WDDOMODIFYVIEW in the WD4A application and not the WDDOINIT anymore.
In my WDDOMODIFYVIEW I had inserted the following code:
DATA lo_api_component TYPE REF TO if_wd_component.
DATA lo_portal_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_portal_integration.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_portal_manager = lo_api_component->get_portal_manager( ).
DATA lo_api_controller TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
lo_api_controller ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
CALL METHOD lo_portal_manager->subscribe_event
    EXPORTING
      portal_event_namespace = 'urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch'
      portal_event_name      = 'selection_changed'
      view                   = lo_api_controller
      action                 = 'GET_SELECTED_PERNR'.
And in the action: 'GET_SELECTED_PERNR'
METHOD onactionget_selected_pernr .
DATA lv_str_pernr TYPE string.
DATA lv_strlen TYPE i.
DATA lv_pernr TYPE pernr_d.
DATA lv_offset TYPE i.
wdevent->get_string(
EXPORTING
name = 'PORTAL_EVENT_PARAMETER'
RECEIVING
value = lv_str_pernr ).
lv_strlen = STRLEN( lv_str_pernr ).
lv_offset = lv_strlen - 8.
lv_pernr = lv_str_pernr+lv_offset(8).
ENDMETHOD.
This is not functioning form me. The action is not getting trigged with the code in WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
I had gone through several threads in u2018SDN say:
     Pass pernr to WebDynro
     MSS - General Information - Related Activities Links persnr.
     SAP Note: 1112733.
Most of the threads are answered but incomplete. In some threads people shared document personally which had been helpful.
I am stuck with this scenario of handling the employee number from employee search iView. Helpful suggestions will be rewarded for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Do i understand you correctly that you are not getting the portal event ?
This can be several reasons ?
Both portal system and WDA server has to be in same domain and same proptocol to communicate with Portal event.
Please check in that direction and search posts on this topic.

Employee Search 'Organization Information' iView

In General Information when viewing the Employee Search iView a Manager
selects "Employee Selection" - "Direct Reports" and the "Display"
of "Organizational Information" it displays all employee in their
Organizational Unit.
We have transported our R/3 configuration to our QA/UAT Portal. When
looking in the QA/UAT Portal and viewing the General Information iView
and viewing the Employee Search iView the Manager selects "Employee
Selection" - "Direct Reports" and the "Display" of "Organizational
Information" it does not display any employees.
We have checked the Parameters against the iView in QA Portal and they are exacty the same as the iView in Dev Portal.
Any ideas as to why the iView is not showing employees?
Thanks

Points Rewarded!!

Hi,
Few things to check
1 - Make sure your user ID is linked correclty in the communication infotype 105
2 - Make sure your user is a Manager (i.e. Chief position / Position with relationship A-012)
3 - Make sure your user have MSS role assigned
Hope this help. If all those elements are set-up, there is now reason why it should not worked. Are you using standard SAP views in the backend ? ex: MSS_TMV_EE_ORG1 ?

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

Position search iView event subscribe

Hi all,
This is an MSS question. I have posted it in the Portal Development forum as well, so please ignore if you have seen it already...
Note 1112733 specifies the namespace and event of the employee search iView for subscription by custom iViews.
Event namespace: urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch
Event name: selection_changed
I am looking for something similar to subsribe to the Position Search iView event. I believe the iView name is
com.sap.pct.erp.mss.posprofile_positionsearch
OSS note 1410996 contains a reference to this iView, if this is of any help.
The subscribing application is written in WD ABAP. I suppose if there is a means of subscribing to all portal events, it can be queried to look for the specific one? I have the team viewer all set up and working.
Thanks
John

FYI - Clicking a position on the position search iView also raises the event:
Event namespace: urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch
Event name: selection_changed
The data object is of object type S as opposed to P when an employee is selected.
Go figure!!!
Cheers,
John

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,
   I have developed some ABAP WebDynpro applications and now I want to integrate them with the MSS team viewer (Employee search) iView i.e. when an employee link in the team viewer is clicked, the pernr of the selected employee should pass to my iView.
   Can someone suggest me how to achieve this.
   Thanks in advance. Will reward points for gunuine answer.

Hi John,
I am also doing the same thing.but the control is not going to the event handeler method.and it is not subscribing to the event also i guess.
below is the code i have written in the View of my component WDOINIT.
    l_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
    l_portal_manager = l_api_component->get_portal_manager( ).
    DATA l_wd_view TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
    l_wd_view ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    CALL METHOD l_portal_manager->subscribe_event
      EXPORTING
        portal_event_namespace = 'urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch'
        portal_event_name      = 'SELECTION_CHANGED'"'selection_changed'
        view                   = l_wd_view
        action                 = 'SUBSCRIBE_TO_EVENT'.
and the event handeler code is :-
method ONACTIONSUBSCRIBE_TO_EVENT .
DATA: evt_name TYPE string.
DATA lo_nd_gc_event_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_gc_event_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
*DATA ls_gc_event_data TYPE wd_this->element_gc_event_data.
DATA lv_event_string TYPE string.
evt_name = wdevent->get_string( name = 'PORTAL_EVENT_NAME' ).
IF evt_name = 'selection_changed'.
lv_event_string = wdevent->get_string( name = 'PORTAL_EVENT_PARAMETER' ).
get single attribute
*lo_el_gc_event_data->set_attribute(
*EXPORTING
*name = `EVENT_STRING`
*value = 'handled' ).
ENDIF.
endmethod.
I don't know why it is not triggering the handeller method.
Can you please help me by the steps how you did this.
Thanks

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!

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:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/How-toaddacustomWebDynproiViewtotheMSSEmployeeProfile(ECC+6.0)
Also check SAP Note 1112733.

Team= Personnel Developent= Employee Search

Dear Experts.
I have the following question:
What is the cause for that in the Manager Self Service =>Team=>Personnel Developent=>Employee Search
the portal not update(display) the information of the employee Direct Reports.?
I made the following test:
1) Chief with personnel number 10 assign in the infotype 0105 subtype 001 the user chief_mss and display the employee.
2) Deallocate(delete) the register of the infotype 0105 subtype 001 the user chief_mss for the personnel number 10 and assign this user to the personnel number 20 that also is chief and have other employees in his responsability.
However the system follow showing the same employees of the chief 10.
I check the t.code PPEM - for know that employee have a chief in responsability.
Anyone have an idea of What is the cause of this issue?
Regards

'Employee Search' iView uses a caching functionality to store the
data that was retrieved from Organizational Management.
The validity of the cached data can be define via iView property 'Cache
Lifetime'. The default value is '1' that means that the data is valid
for one day (to improve the iView performance).
If you want to have a different behaviour, you could change this caching
parameter (e.g. set it to -1 to disable the caching at all).
