ESS Business Package with External Facing / Light Framework

Hi all,
We are using an external facing portal with light framework page and we now start with ESS/MSS Business Packages.
Unfortunately e.g. ESS szenarios aren't working in our framework. I found out, that "strange" urls are used and that the session is terminated with the dsm.Terminator
(http://XXXX/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.dsm.Terminator)
Strange url which is called within light framework:
Browser submitted values to
http://XXXX/irj/portal?standAlone=true&WebDynproNamespace=sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils&WebDynproApplication=XssMenuArea&DynamicParameter=sap.xss.menuhdr%3DSAPDEFAULT%26sap.xss.menuargrp%3DSAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005%26sap-epcm-guid%3D4B4BF671AD569E176974193671944A9426C53F2A1765A289E821F4F42AF23713%26sap.xss.menuarea%3DEMPLOYEE_SEARCH_ERP2005&HistoryMode=0&windowId=WID1216035848750
If I use ESS with the default desktop it works.
I found the following Note with restrictions for External Facing Portal and Light Framework Page:
Note 916545 - Central Note for External-Facing Portal (NW 7.0) =>
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/916545
Here an extract:
=====================================================================
IV RESTRICTIONS
=====================================================================
Unsupported Content: SAP business packages and applications that use the EPCM's WorkProtect Mode feature may not work properly when using the light framework page. (e.g. Web Dynpro based applications of the portal administration UI or custom build applications.)
What does may not work properly mean? Does anyone know if there are some "features" that makes it possible to run ESS szenarios in an external facing portal?
Is it possible to activate the WorkProtected Mode and Session Termination in the framework having in mind that some performance gain for the light framework is gone?
How did you implement ESS?
Thanks and regards,
Stefan

Hi Gopal,
I already tried to replace e.g. in the inner page the Light Content Area iview with the normal Content Area iView.
With this change at least the height of the Overview Page will be displayed correct.
I'm still facing other problems that the DSM Terminator is being called regardless of the EPCF level (0, 1, 2).
Changing the epcf level doen't change anything.
Do you know what's the technical difference between the Light Content Area iView and the normal one?
Regards,
Stefan

Problems with user mapping to download ESS Business Package for EP 6.0

Hi,
I am trying to download ESS Business Package for EP 6.0 but facing problems inspite of reading the SAP document on downloading Business Package. Here is my problem:
I start to download the package and to map the user ids. I am mapping the SDN user id to a SAP Service Marketplace user id as mentioned in the SDN website. But the download option is not working and gave an error when I clicked on the 'Download' link after user mapping.
It would help me a lot if anyone else who tried to download BPs after user mapping gave their feedback.
Can someone please clarify about the user ids and describe how can I download the ESS Business Package?
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
from the description you provide I can't tell what the problem might be, so to determine the cause we need more information on this. Screenshots of the error message would be ideal.
In general, the following needs to be done:
- you need to be signed in at SDN with your Service Marektplace s user id
- the user mapping for the data source 'Service Marketplace' needs to be maintained
Please send the error information to: [email protected]
and we will try to solve it.
Thanks, Anke

ESS Business Package for ERP 6.0 is a ABAP or JAVA Web Dynpro

Hi,
We are trying to implement ERP 6.0 and ESS with the Portal.
Is the ESS business package a ABAP or JAVA Web Dynpro????
Thanks.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
ESS BP is a portal content (runs only on portal runtime) which can only be deployed and run on SAP J2EE server (So it is java based).
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f6/263359f8c14ef98384ae7a2becd156/frameset.htm
From EHP2 for ECC 6.0, you have an option choose ABAP WebDynpro for Travel related services. However, the portal content (iViews) is still on SAP J2EE server.
Thanks

Deb,
Thank you very much for your response. You made very clear the question I had about <host Name>:<Port>.
However, When I put those settings into the "system" and then i try to test i get the following results:
SAP Web AS Connection
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Checks the validity of system ID in the system object.
2. Checks if the system can be retrieved from the PCD.
3. Check whether a SAP system is defined in the system object
4. Validate the following parameters: WAS protocol; WAS host name
5. Checks if the host name of the server can be resolved.
6. Pings the server to see if it is alive.
7. Pings the WAS ping service; works only if the service is activated on the ABAP WAS.
8. Checks HTTP/S connectivity to the defined back-end application
Results
1. The system ID is valid
2. The system was retrieved.
3. The system object represents an SAP system
4. The following parameters are valid: Web AS Protocol (http) Web AS Host Name (bus0230.baldor.com:53600)
5. The host name bus0230.baldor.com was resolved successfully.
6. The server bus0230.baldor.com could not be pinged successfully.
Should I be concerned that the server cannot be ping successully? I see that step 7 says this will only be sucessful if the services is activated on teh ABAP WAS. So i am thinking this test will not complete successfully?
Best Regards,
Steven

Customizing ESS Business Package using Web Dynpro

Hi
Does anyone know how we can customize the ESS Business Package using web dynpro. I tried opening one of its application but since it doesn't carry any .project file, it cannot be opened in the NWDS for customization.
Also, if there is any document available describing the method to be used for this, can you please pass the link for that or mail at [email protected]
Thanks & regards,
Anupreet

Hi Jithendra,
The note number has been mentioned in the post. Please try accessing that note. Also for information related to NWDI access the home page for NWDI.
I would suggest that you search the forum first and try to find similar threads with similar queries. That will really speed up your process also.
If the SDN search is not to your liking you can also use the google search. That is powerful and you get the exact thing you are looking for instantly.
<a href="/people/vitaliy.rudnytskiy/blog/2006/09/12/quickly-find-needed-netweaver-information-on-helpsapcom">This</a> blog describes how to use google search.

Impact on changing ECC client on the working of ESS business package in EP

Dear Experts,
We had ESS business package working fine in our EP 7.0 which connected to client 100 of ECC 6.0.
Now we changed to client 700 in ECC 6.0.
Now all is working OK except for the Personal Data piece (address,bank etc).
The first screen shows up OK but when we review it we get the error :
Access via NULL object reference not possible.,error Key:RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
The user is setup the same way as that in ECC 100.
The JCO is working correctly.Get successful message when we click "TEST".
I have used USER/PWD in both meta data and application data (though it is said to use Ticket and User/Pwd. It worked with ECC Client 100.)
Appreciate any inputs
Thanks.

hi ashish,
try to use only application data

Creation of Business Partner with External BP #,ID type and Identifications

Hi Group,
I have a query on creation of Business Partner with External BP #,ID type and Identification # (along with the Firstname,Lastname,Email, Phone & etc.,) things.
the thing is that I was using a BAPI called "BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA", to create a BP and I was not able to have an option available for these things (External BP #,ID type and Identification # ) along with that BAPI.
So please kindly let me know how these things can be fetched from a BAPI which can accomodate all the above things mentioned.
Please kindly let me know how it can be achieved.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Hi Gerhard,
Infact this reply was very useful, but ,while using the BAPI "BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_ADD" while creating the Id type and Id #s, this BAPI was not enabling this.
I was trying to use this BAPI to create ID #, and it's desc, but, this BAPI was returning like "This BP # does not exist" (in some cases) and in some other cases, it is keeping quiet without giving any indication as whether the things have been updated or not... and also when I checked, things were not getting reflected.
your help would be very much appreciated.
thanks & regards,
vishnu.

Fail to import ESS business package..Urgent!

Dear All NWDI expert,
I have installed the NWDI and trying my first step to customize the standard ESS business package. We are on ESS business package 13.
The following are the list of step that i have done. Can anyone tell me which step i make mistakes?
Step
1) Create a new track and assign the SAP_ESS release 100 to the track
2) Copy the 3 files SAPBUILDT13_0.SCA, SAPJEE13_0.SCA, SAPJTECHS13_0.SCA into E:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox.
3) "Check IN" the 3 files and check in. Then "check import" and import the files.
4) Copy the SAPPCUIGP09_0-20001215.SCA and SAPPCUIGP09P_1-20001215.SCA into E:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox.
5) "Check IN" both file and "check import" for the pcuigp sca files.
6) Import both of the file which is the original file and patch.      **(Do i need to import the patch file as well? I did not manage to import the patch file and the status shows outdated )
7) Copy the SAPESS09_0-20000512.SCA and SAPESS09P_3-20000512.SCA into E:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox
8) "Check IN" the 2 files and check in. Then "check import" and import the files.
10) Import the 2 files.*(the system show import fail and i hav to repeat all over again by creating a new track)
When i try it for the second time, i am getting the import fail error again and below are parts from the files.
target="_blank">39d5b802352211dcb4890030057116fe</a> exists allready in the repository. No import necessary.
20080422111649 Info   :CBS input mode is currently PRIVILEGED
20080422111649 Info   :waiting for 10 seconds
The last fail give me the following log
20080422163706 Info   :buildspace = E02_BRY_D   build request id = 231
20080422163706 Info   :wait until CBS queue of buildspace E02_BRY_D is completely processed, before asking for build results
20080422163706 Info   :waiting for CBS queue activity
20080422163737 Info   :maximal waiting time is temporally increased
20080422163737 Info   :build process already running: waiting for another period of 30000 ms
Anyone know which step that i perfrom incorrectly and how to solve the waiting for another period of 30000ms?
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
Open the CBS Web UI and navigate to the buildspace you are working on.
a. Choose Edit and select Input Mode = OPEN.
b. Save the new state.
c. Try import again.
Reward points if this solves your problem.

Hi ,
ESS files to be deployed do not generally have the sampe SP level as that of Portal.
So if for portal if you have SP12
You might need to deploy ESS SP10 files and not ESS SP12 files.
The note mentioned by Rajendra explains the same clearly
