Enabling MSS Overview WebDynpro for Employees

Hi,
I was asked to provide the functionality of u2018initiatingu2019 the appraisal process from ESS, by end users. The standard process is only allowing the HR Managers to initiate the process on behalf of employee. I read somewhere the 'Status Overview' of MSS 'Maintain Performance Documents' can be configured for the ESS. Can anyone give me some light on this?
Kind regards.

EP,ESS/MSS and webdynpro for java interview questions.

I am an ep and ESS?MSS consultant and work on webdynpro for java.I have also worked on PDK like customization of masthead and logon page.I would like to know how to prepare for an interview? I mean what should I read ? and what topics should I cover?

HI Anzar
Instead of posting this here, you could have googled it. There are no. of sites for the same thing.
Since you wrote, so just curious... EP & ESS/MSS Consultant... what does that mean?
If I am not taking it wrong, by that sentence you are trying to tell that you have worked on ESS / MSS modeule. Right?
See, if you are an EP Consultant, you must know all the below atleast -
1. PORTAL SIDE
a. Different types of iView configuration
b. User Management
c. Internal / External Portal Configuration
d. Content development
e. UWL
f. Portal bottlenecks (I mean portal related issues, like slow responding etc.)
g. Display & Desktop Configuration
h. System Landscape Directory
i. NWDI
2. WEB DYNPRO SIDE
a. Calling iviews from wd applications
b. RFC/ BAPI calls
c. JCO Connections
d. SC/DC Concept
e. Import/Export Parameters
f. Scenario Based Answering (like... if your imported BAPI import parameters are changed by BASIS, what will you do to make it work for you.... etc)
g. Singleton/Non-Singleton nodes
h. Controllers
i. Interfaces
j. Multi-lingual Applications
k. EJBs
l. PDK applications
This is the basic list, it can contain many more items... This is the list which I faced for my interview. As an EP consultant, you must be good in both Portal as well as WD end.
1 more thing, every interview is different from other, so no point in just mugging them out. Go through with there concepts. That way, you can answer twisted & scenario based questions.
Hope this will help.

if question solved, close the thread after marking it answered.

MSS, Webdynpro for Java(EHP4) , Webdynpro for ABAP

Hi Experts,
We have EHP 4.0 with MSS in Java webdynpro iviews and are primarily interested in the ECM portions of MSS.
We wants to stay with EHP 4.0 standard iViews and make minor changes to accommodate their business conditions u2013 without making any enhancements directly on the Java iViews. No setup for Netweaver Developer Studio environment or other tools for Java development.
We have to achieve the following without enhancing the Java iViews directly. Making use of existing standard error messages and RFC calls are some of the solutions suggested by the client.
1.)Display error messages on the Java iViews based on some employee infotype consistency checks
2.)Disable employees for input when they fail consistency checks
3.) For employees with multiple performance ratings, display a Java-less popup which will have a table of information as a u2018display onlyu2019 window.
Can anyone help me on any of the above given points.
Thanks,Shilpa.

Hi,
I wouldn't call myself an expert with WDJ but we've made some changes to the XSS WebDynpro's without modifying the SAP delivered WebDynpro's. This was mostly done by creating a new page layout and adding javascript to it. By placing the XSS WebDynpro's in the new pages we could manipulate some parts of the functionality.
However, now that we have NWDI in place we prefer the route where we modify the application instead of workiarounds.

Cache issue coming in Start Process for Employee iView under MSS

Hi,
Navigate to MSS -> Team -> HCM Process and Forms -> Start Process for Employee
In Start Process for Employee iView, when I clicks on Refresh link at the bottom right of the table the Direct Reports got removed from the table (which is correct) but when I navigates to some other screen and comes back then again the previous data comes back. It seems to be cache level issue. Even I logs off and login the same data comes back which should not happen.
I have checked the forum [Team=>Personnel Developent=>Employee Search; and found it that Refesh property will work if I set the parameter of iview Cache Lifetime = -1 then it will disable the caching at all.
And I wants the same behaviour for Start Process for Employee iView. But I am not able to find the similar property in Start Process for Employee iView.
Anyone have an idea of What is the resolution for this issue?
Regards,
Deep

Hi Deep,
now I understand your problem )
To me it sounds like an OADP cache issue rather than one in Portal. The iview uses OADP which again uses the cache which does not reflect on the actual current org-structure.
One possibility would be enhancing the WD4A and call FMs
HRWPC_OADP_DELETE_TGTOBJCACHE
HRWPC_OADP_DELETE_SRCHOBJCACHE
HRWPC_OADP_DELETE_NAVOBJCACHE
HRWPC_OADP_DELETE_DATAVWCACHE
dependent on what you want to delete to refresh.
I would probably try to enhance HookMethod WDDOINIT in Component Controller and call them there, but that's just a guess; could be complete nonesense.
Another possibility would be trying to add the application parameter "sap.xss.req.crt.cachelifetime=0" to the iView.

HR administrator to process MSS- PCRs for employees

Hello all,
       We are on SAP ECC 6.0 , EP 7.0 Sp15 and MSS version 600 SP13 .
We are using MSS Personnel change requests like separation , termination etc.
We want HR administrator to intiate PCR for all employees as managers do for employees in their respective org. units they
are heading .
                      We know that in HCM P&F , HR admin can initiate Forms for employees .But since we are already using PCRs , we cant switch to HCM P& F .
                                          Is there any way we could meet this requirement with MSS PCRs .
I feel the only way is if HR admin is at CEO position and is heading all org units , he can process PCRs for all employees .
But this doesn't seems to be workable .
I searched the forum and could find out that we can go for customized application .
any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sahiba

You can assign manager, Hr admin role as well, and have a custom evaluation path which will populate the
employees he intends to perform the services!

Eventing in Portal page between Team Viewer and Custom Webdynpro for ABAP

We are trying to implement a new Portal page that contains a Team Viewer Iview and a custom Webdynpro for ABAP iview.
The idea is that the when a manager select one of his direct report in the Team Viewer, the custom Webdynpro for ABAP would pick up the selection_changed event and retrieve the data for the selected employee.
We followed the instruction provided by SAP in note 1112733 and it worked in our development environment. When we moved the iviews to our testing environment it stopped working.
I also used the Diagnostic Iviews provided by SAP and I get the same result: Works in Dev, does not work in QA or in Prod.
We also followed the troubleshooting steps of note 945516 and it still did not help us. We can not find a difference in our system set up.
We are therefore looking for pointers as to what could be our problem.
Thanks!
Edited by: Benoit Fortin on Feb 20, 2009 2:28 PM

Problem was solved internally:
The reasons the eventing worked in Dev and not in QA or Prod, was that we had a different level of patch for ESS/MSS between instances, which I was not aware of.
Dev was on ESS/MSS version 600 SP14 and QA and Prod was on a different level. Once we implemented ESS/MSS SP 14 accross the board, everything was good.

MSS - team - General Data, Employee selection add Custom col with KM link

Hi There,
I am trying to add a custom column for MSS team selection for general data. Which works alright, now i want to make that column click able (like email) and this should direct me to a dynamic Km link based on employee selected.
I have added custom column and able to display custom content on the team member selection table. I am able to make it clickable if i select "link" option on column configuration. So that also works.. now i want to pass employee number to my custom webdynpro application. Can you suggest anything here.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
If I understand correctly, though oadp config, you have added new column and attached a service key to make it as a clickable one. Once u er clicks on the link, I believe you want to display the KM doc which takes pernr as url parameter or some thing like that.
If my understanding is correct then, you have to create a WD Application, which reads the selected pernr( or org or position). You need to add pcui_gp/xssutils as used DC and then add context nodes of FcObjectSelection to read the selected record details as described in the above wiki which I gave i.e. https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/How-toaddacustomWebDynproiViewtotheMSSEmployeeProfile%28ECC+6.0%29
You have to pass the value returned by the Selected Object to the KM as url parameter.
Also use this blog to see the frontend context values of WDJ application. It will help you in understanding the various values of the context nodes.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - report / chart / Graph for Employee vacation.

In SharePoint Foundation 2013 I want to create a report / chart / Graph for Employee (Employee Id,Employee Name & Department) which will show month wise from which date to which date Employee are on vacation in particular department.
I'm thinking to create one List where where user will enter there vacation details and from that list report I will create chart / Graph Department wise to check the Employees availability.
Please provide some good example or idea in detail for this.

Hi,
Chart Web Parts are useful for visually representing data in line charts, bar charts, and other views. Charts enable you and other users to view performance information at a glance.
In SharePoint 2013, chart web part is one of the discontinued features. We usually use Excel Service to replace it, however, Excel Service is only available in Enterprise edition, so we need to figure out coding methods or third party tool if you are using
Foundation edition.
Here are some links for workaround in your situation, please check if they can be help:

In webdynpro for ABAP alv table issue

hello gurus,
                  i am new for webdynpro for ABAP.i strucked at one point at designing time.anybody could you suggest me on this.
thanks in advance.
let me explain my scenario first.
in my webdynpro for ABAP developement i have one alv table having ten fields.i am featching the data for eight fields from one Ztabale and updating , for rest of two fields we need to fill after displaying output using the respective F4 help. Right now these two fields are in input editable mode.now i am getting the values successfully from F4 help and at the same time it is allowing MANUAL ENTRIES also but as per my requirement it should not allow any manual entries . for this i have made these two fields are in readonly mode as like as rest of fields to avoid the MANUAL ENTRIES but at this time i didnot get any F4 helpfor those two fields.
so how can i achive my goal in this thing could any one suggest me.
my final conclusion is we need to get only F4 help values into those two fields . it should not allow any manual values at any point of time.

Issue regarding cell action in webdynpro for abap alv

hello gurus,
       i have one requirement in webdynpro for abap alv.i have one alv table in that i have one coloun employee name.
for that i have provided F4 help and that is editable field.if i select value from F4 help it is getting value correctly and it is showing properly at the same time it is allowing values entered manually insted of from F4 help.but as per my requiremnet it should not allow any manually entered values.how can i get this functinality. i am not aware indepth od WDA.
could you go through my isssue and could you revert me some solution.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
   I dont think this is possible because when you can change the value using F4 then it would obviously be
   possible to enter manually.
   You can try using a drop down instead because in drop down you cannot enter values manually,
   But this would be good if the values that can be shown in drop down are very low, if the values are more
   then again user will face problems selecting values.
   Else you can try out what srinivas suggested, But dont know whether we can have two cell editors at a time
   inside a single cell of ALV. Please post the answer if you have found any other way to do it.

Webdynpro for ABAP - interactive Adobe form - drop down lists not working

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an interactive form for a client using webdynpro for ABAP and I've viewed the demo "Create SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with Web Dynpro for ABAP" by Thomas Jung, but when I implement it the form following similar steps the form is not interactive.
In the properties of the "InterativeForm", I've tried clicking the "enabled" flag both on and off. I've also tried setting the "displayType" property to both "ActiveX" and "Native". But none of this worked.
I though my problem might be with Adobe reader so I switched from 8.0 back to 7.0 but this didn't make any difference either.
The system we are using is NW04s WAS 700. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-tom

Thanks for the suggestion Dezso. I've downloaded a newer version of ACF as indicated by the OSS note and installed it. I'm still having the same issue.
My basic question is what options should I be using in the form and on the InteractiveForm component? It looks like because of the evolution of the product there are multiple options available. I recall reading somewhere that as of a certain SP level we should have ZCI (zero client install) available. The would be our preference. It will be a support nightmare if each user needed a manual download of ACF.exe installed.
Should I click the "enabled" flag on the InteractiveForm object? When I create the form should I use the "Native" drop down list or the one from the "Active X" tab? I would like to use the "List Box" control on the form as well but it is only available in the "Standard" tab. So does that mean I can't get the selections from a "List Box"?
Thanks,-tom

Webdynpro for ABAP versus Enterprise Services

Hi,
With ECC 6.0 the WebDynpro for ABAP will be available. After converting my well-known ABAP-dynpro screens to WebDynpro I will have the possibility to expose all R/3 functionality from within the portal.
Two years from now the Enterprise Services will be there. What will be the reason(s) for using enterprise services instead of WebDynpro for abap to make R/3 functionality available in the portal? I think at the end both functionalities can co-exist but what are the criteria to use one or both methods?
Greetings Theo

Theo,
This is not a discussion relegated to the bar...
First the short methodology is correct... Id the processes, expose major entry points as Services, orchestrate, publish Service Desc, endpoints, etc., repeat...
The real question remaining is, if I believe my entire process is incorporated with a single SAP system why would I expose Services (and add the additional layer)?
I agree with the comment where if a process completely executes in a single environment there is no need to change its strategy and force it to be an orchestrated set of Service interactions. That is not inconsistent with providing Service interfaces along the process so that it can be composed into other processes either not yet in place or requiring cross-system interaction. ESA is not saying "break open the container and make every little piece operate as Enterprise Services", instead it guides us to Service enable components so that others can consume them in a standard way, regardless of implementation / execution environment.
As we think about leveraging ESA for the benefit of our businesses (our enterprise and the ecosystem of business partners and customers) we have to acknowledge that we do not and will not know where every step of a busines process will execute throughout time. There may be tremendous value in executing part of a process that could be performed in that same SAP system in a completely different environment. The main benefit of Service enabling is business agility for a reasonable cost. I would argue that at least the main entry and exit points to major processes should have Service interfaces, followed by a more comprehensive assessment of internal process steps - looking for opportunities.
The other side of the equation is determining what additional consumers of the process could be found if major parts of the process exposed Service interfaces. To say, "my process executes inside this one system, so I should not expose it as a set of Services", ignores the potential benefit of other systems being able to incorporate that process in their execution (or parts of a process). As we expose more, well defined Services that represent aspects of enterprise business processes we create an environment where there is low cost, opportunistic integration based on standards.
Or put more briefly, make sure to execute your business process in an efficent computing manner, but do not let that constraint limit your thinking when it comes to Services. They are two different (yet related) issues. Services simply give us another way to leverage an asset we already have. Make the asset available and if it has value to the organization, it will be consumed.
Hope that helps...
David
