Enhancement Pack 2 impact on ESS for ECC 6.0

We are planning to upgrade one of our systems (evaluation system) from EA-HR 600 to EA-HR 602 (Enhancement Pack 2 SP2)
There's some ongoing ESS configurations (just ESS) on this evaluation system.
What is the impact of an Enhancement Pack 2 import/upgrade towards the existing ESS configurations ?
Has anyone experienced extensive 'overwriting of existing ESS configuration' or does the EnhP 2 introduces new functionalities leaving the existing configurations untouched ?
Do ESS functional folks have to redo the bulk of their config ?
Many thanks for any replies.

Thanks Chris
Still confused.
Are you able to tell me what is the latest enhancement pack for ESS, the reason for asking is that I'm looking for more details on the new iViews as contained in Note 1048386 see below
Thanks

In the previous ESS Business Package (BP) version, the links for starting processes were provided in the workset Life and Work Events. With EhP2, the links for starting the processes are provided in the workset that the process belongs to thematically (for example, the process 'Change of Working Time' is provided in the workset 'Working Time'). The following list provides an overview over the processes available in the standard system and the worksets they are assigned to.
Benefits and Payment
o Company Loans
o Membership Fees Sports Club
o Status Overview
Working Time
o Change of Working Time
o Status Overview
Own Data
o Change of Address
o Personnel File
o Status Overview
Life and Work Events
o Maternity Leave
o Birth of a Child
o Termination
o Status Overview
The available processes are integrated in the navigation of the ESS Homepage Framework.

Impact of enhancement pack 3 on ECC

Hi,
can you please explain what are the impacts of enhancement Pack 3 on the SAP ECC server, and how if we migrate to EHP-3.
thanks
Regards
SR

Syed,
The question you have asked is more from a technical point of view...I'll put this into a laymen language
let's say..your organization is currently running on IS Oil and wants to use certain feature of IS Health Care or IS Media...so instead of installing the whole package, only that part will be activated; now if that feature can be met by say installing EhP3...the Basis guy needs to ensure that he has install and fulfill the technical requirements first..then only from the functional side you will be able to activate and use the feature.
one note of caution: Once activated, you can not switch off this functionality
SAP Notes are there with all the information and the prerequisites for installation.
You can check that on [www.service.sap.com|www.service.sap.com]

Security Guide for Enhancement Pack 4 for ECC 6.0

Hello,
I am trying to analyse the impact of applying Enhancement pack 4 for ECC 6.0, Can someone help me find any security guides for it.
It is an existing system and few additional modules are being implemented.
Kind Regards.

Hello,
We have applied EHP4 on an exisiting(running) ECC 6.0 System. Can someone help me find answers to below queries
a) What is the SAP standard process to start with Security bit.
b) Do we need to run SU25 steps. If yes, which one of them.
c) Since the purpose of applying EHP4 was to activate few set of new business functionalities, we intend to affect the existing security design at the minimal. What is the best approach for this.
Kind Regards,

SRM 7. 0 with ECC 6.0 Enhancement Pack

1) My client just upgraded their R/3 to ECC 6.0, but no Enhancement Pack.
2) They are trying to upgrade from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0 in the near futures.
3) During their first SRM phase, their scenario is limited to the following:
a. R/3 RFQs are pushed to SRM via RFC call (custom program)
b. SRM vendor logs in to see the RFQs and creates Quote
c. SRM buyer evaluates the quotes
4) Question: In order to run the above mentioned scenario without issues, is Enhancement Pack 4 a mandatory component for them, or can ECC 6.0 without any EnH support it already? If it's mandatory, which sub-components of the EnH 4 must be activated in order to support the scenario?
5) Question: In their next SRM phase, they are trying to run scenarios like PPS and Doc Builder. In that case, is Enhancement Pack 4 a mandatory component?
6) Last: Is there any SAP official documentation that maybe answers the question that I listed above?
Thanks.

Hello Jay,
Please find the upgrade information:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/upgrade-srm
EhP4 is not mandatory for strategic sourcing, data transfer via RFC can be used.
The benefit with EhP4 for your scenario will be new feature of "Collective Processing of purchase requistion" CPPR; where buyer can select the PReq line items on the portal & create RFx directly in the SRM system. All data transfer is via PI in this scenario. Creating a RFQ in ECC is not a good idea, when you can leverage the RFx capabilities of SRM.
New features: Blog:
/people/michael.jud/blog/2008/09/10/srm-70-in-the-business-suite
Official information :

Hope this solves.
Thanks

Implementing Enhancement pack only on ECC

Dear All,
We are planning for implementing EHP4 on ECC system, we are currntly not on any EHP level.Currently we have this enhancement requirement to be done only on ECC system and no othr system in landscape(CRM&BW) due to some of the criticality and couple of other reasons.I would like to know is if we upgrade on ECC to EHP4 , will it have any impact on the other landscape.As I feel being portals available in CRM&BW it may be having the impact but not sure on the same.
Request you to kindly suggest wether does it has any impact if I proceed with standalone upgrade of ECC.Also request you to kindly suggest any note or link where I could find the dependency on other systems after upgrading ECC.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Amit

Hi,
There will not be much impact on your system landscapes aftre applying EHP on ECC.
However, you must advise your Functional team to carry out UAT (User Acceptance testing) and test every transactions that interface with CRM,BW etc on Test system aftre EHP on ECC complete on your Development and Test systems.
Make sure perform System copy for ECC Developmentand Test system before EHP on ECC commence.
Once everything is successfully tested functionality, then only you can carry out EHP on ECC system
Thanks and Regards

GTS 8.0 with ECC Enhancment Pack 4 SP2

Hello-
We've recently upgraded our ECC system to Enhancement Pack 4, SP2. We'd like to install GTS 8.0, however I'm unable to find the requirements for GTS 8.0 in enhancement pack terms. I'm only able to find that it requires SPS16, which I'm not able to find any comparisions relating SPS16 to Ehp4 SP2 to see how they stack up.
Basically, can anybody find or refer me to material for GTS requirements in terms after Enhancement Pack 4? Or a note that compares SPS to EhP versions?
Thanks in advance!!
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
SAP note 1266777 provides the information on installation of GTS on ECC with Enhancement Pack.

IMG Customizations For ESS In ECC 6.0

Hi Gurus,
I'm stuck with some IMG customization issues. I can see the Overview page and each area group pages for diff applications. Like Employee Search, Personal Information etc. But whenever i'm clicking on the links it is openning up a blank screen.
Please give me some example how to configure the server in IMG like its path, port etc? Apart from this any examples for service creations for each application.
According to SAP help material i also cant find any place to put the System ID in the iviews like Who Is Who, Change Own data!
Please help me out! If any one can share any document it will be great.
Thanks

Customize Icons for the Homepage Framework
Christopher Solomon
Business Card
Posted on Mar. 01, 2007 01:07 PM in Business Solutions, Enterprise Portal (EP), Web Dynpro

Permalink
    Although there is excellent material around and even step-by-step guides for configuring and customizing the Homepage Framework (*see the document "XSS Homepage Framework for Employee Self-Service" by Sibylle Borhauerm-Product Manager, SAP AG), I have found nothing available that provides information about customizing the actual icons/images that are used within the framework. Therefore, I took the DIY (do-it-yourself) approach and decided to put together a document of my own to hopefully help others. The following is an explanation about how to customize and/or add new icons for the Homepage Framework. This is based on my experience with ECC5.0, but a similar approach should work for ECC6.0.
Background
    The Homepage Framework is a new feature as of ECC5.0 (mySAP ERP 2004 for those that want to be thoroughly confused.haha). It is basically a means to build very informative, aesthetically consistent web pages solely through configuration in the IMG (no web coding needed!). It allows you to organize information in a more user-friendly manner. For example, prior to this, ESS services were typically listed as links on a menu on the left of the browser window (like the detailed navigation area of the portal). The user would click the fairly non-descript link and be taken to a web application that contained even less helpful information or description and was more techy in appearance. This was not very friendly or intuitive to end users who may not have much familiarity with computers at all. Often times, I would have to build static web pages for clients that would serve to provide help information to the user about what the actual ESS links would do and so forth and to serve as a jumping off point. With the Homepage Framework, you can configure (againno coding!) a jumping off page that summarizes all the areas you offer in ESS (called the Area Group page in the Homepage Framework), and then configure more detailed information pages for each area as well (called Area pages in the Homepage Framework).
ESS Area Group Page
ESS Area Page for Benefits and Pay
Where is my Framework?
    With any framework, as the name implies, there is a fairly rigid layout. This insures consistency amongst the pages. For the Homepage Framework, each area is assigned an icon. The icon should visually convey the idea of the area. For example, for an area for Working Time, you might use a clock icon. The icons assigned to each Area appear on the Area Group page as well as the respective Area page. By default, there are only a small number of out of the box icons that are provided. I took the time to document the default images and their corresponding resource name in a spreadsheet. An image of this appears below:
Default Icons
The big question (and one I see asked over and over) is "where does all this stuff live?". This is one of the misconceptions and/or hurdles to overcome in understanding the newer ESS/MSS SAP offerings. With ECC5.0 and higher, most people incorrectly assume that by installing/deploying the ESS/MSS business package(s) that they suddenly have all of ESS/MSS available to them. Wrong. It's an easy mistake to make because "that's how it's always been before". The actual deployment of the overall solutions for ECC and onward requires two pieces. You still deploy the business package, but the business package only covers the portal objects. All you are doing is loading in the out-of-the-box iViews, worksets, pages ,roles, etc. Now what will your iViews talk too? The second part is the actual ESS/MSS/XSS services, ie. the applications that "do stuff". At the moment, these are Java Webdynpros and are part of the "Java XSS Components" installation. These components can be installed on any WAS/NWAS, but typically they are deployed on the same server as the Enterprise Portal...just more Java web applications running on the Java engine (again, they could be deployed to an entirely separate WAS/NWAS but we won't get into that). Part of the Java components installation is the Homepage Framework WebDynpro and the accompanying icon images as resource files. The images are not in the Business Package, and they are not not in the backend SAP system. Both are common misconceptions.
Make it your own!
    So now that we know what we are working with and where everything is, how do we change it? First, let me offer this advice. I would not modify and existing icon (replace clock.gif with a different image named clock.gif. I always create my own custom images. In that way, if all else fails, we still have the SAP delivered content. Better safe, than sorry! as my grandfather, an explosives specialist, used to always say. With my word of warning offered, onward we go now. Let's do this through an example. Say for instance, we want to change the icon used for "Working Time" in ESS. The default icon and Area page might appear as:
Working Time Area Page
If we look in configuration, we find that the icon used is actually assigned to two resources:
     EMPLOYEE_WORKTIME_PIC
     MSS_HCM_AREA_ATTENDANCE_PIC
Since we are changing the ESS one, its configuration appears as:
Default Configuration of Resource
Now, lets say we have our own image:
myCompany_clock.gif
First, we can change configuration of the resource to now use (look for) our custom image:
Customized Configuration of Resource
Now, we must actually put the image in the location where the Homepage Framework can find it. As I said before and want to make clear once more, the images are not in the Business Package. They are deployed as part of the Java XSS components. Therefore, we must place our custom image out in the same physical directory that the other resources were deployed to during the installation of the XSS Java components. Using our example, let's look at the "clock" image. I could go into detail telling you where and how this is found, but I prefer to show you the simple way. In your browser, navigate to the Working Time Area page as shown above. If you right-click on the default icon and then select Save Picture As from the context menu, a window will pop-up showing you the name of the image file as calendar_clock.gif (we also know the file name from the configuration of the resource shown above). Now that you know the actual name, you can simple do a View Source on the page and then search for the occurrence of calendar_clock.gif . Doing this, we see that it is deployed and linked to the path as follows:
    ../../../resources/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/Components/com.sap.xss.ser.xssmenu.vc.areagroup.VcXssMenuAreaGroup/calendar_clock.gif
Therefore, we simply need to move/copy our own myCompany_clock.gif into the path:
    ../../../resources/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/Components/com.sap.xss.ser.xssmenu.vc.areagroup.VcXssMenuAreaGroup/
This may require additional help if you do not know where (what server) the Java components were installed on or you do not have direct access to those directories. With the file copied over and our configuration changes to the backend resource to use our custom image, our Working Time Area page now displays using our custom icon:
Cusotmized Working Time Area Page
Gotchas!
    These are a few things to be aware of if you have problems seeing your custom changes (these apply to any changes to the Homepage Framework configuration):
     Make sure you have copied your configuration to the correct client that is in use. Typically, you will configure in one client and then test in another. You can use transaction SCC1 to copy client-to-client transports, if you have access to that function. The Homepage Framework config is client-dependent.
     If you do not see changes in the portal immediately, it is typically due to the cache not being refreshed. You can do this via the System Administration - >Support area of the portal for the PCD content. You can also set a parament to clear the buffer directly on the iView for the Area and Area Group iViews but this is not suggested for performance reasons.

For quick uploading u dload all the supportpackages and move the dloaded supportpackages to usr/sap/<sid>/DVEBMGS<instance no.>/trans
then use the command to uncar the patches at a time by SAPCAR -xvf "SAPK*" and upload it from goto SPAM->Supporpackages-> select from application server

Ecc 6.0 enhancement pack 5 - incompletion procedure VL10

We loaded ecc60 a few years ago. We just loaded enhancement pack 5 onto sandbox. I am having issues with delivery processing. While creating a delivery either from VL10H or VL01N I have to step through the incompletion log step by step to have the delivery save in the system. If I do not look at every incompletion, the save does give me a doc number but when I go back into it it is not there. None of these incompletion steps currently show up in delivery processing if they are not filled in. (picking time,, loading time, volume, etc). They are not warnings in our PRD system currently. Has anyone seen this and anyone have suggestions on how to resolve with this enhancement pack? I see no notes here or on OSS for this.
Thanks for any help.
Susan

Hi,
We just did a EHP 5 upgrade and after that we found lot of issues in the DN creation area! one was, when you create a DN revesal via VL09 transaction, the document flow is not updated. As well as you get a error in the VL09.
If the credit mamangement is active, your schedule lines are getting doubled in the DN picking screen. Therefore I would suggest you to check for OSS notes.
Best regards,
Rahal

Re : Third-Party Order Processing for Subcontracting ( Enhancement Pack 5)

Hi,
In Third-Party Order Processing for subcontracting - Purchase orders for products that are finished by a subcontractor and sent straight to the end customer. PR created in Sales system are processed further in this scenario where you direct your SC Vendor to send the material to your customer.
Although its a standard third party scenario with sub contracting job involved in it.
There is not much information we have in SAP help. This is ECC6 Enhancement pack 5 feature.
If any one has worked on this, I need a process flow to understand this process.
Response is apprecited,

Any idea is appreciated?

Hi,
Here you can treat this two procedures are diffrent
For Contractor
Create P.O >> send semifinish goods to vendor
For sales Point
Sales order >> PR >> PO >> Vendor invoice reciept >> Customer invoice Issue wrt order.
