Ess career and job skills link problem
Hi
A blank page is coming when i click on skills of ess career and job.
what I read from documentation is it is given
prerequisite:
You have made the settings required for this service in the following activity in the Implementation Guide for Personnel Management: Employee Self-Service ® Service-Specific Settings ® Career and Job ® Skills.
I have gone thhere and help shows
Make Settings for Skills Profile Service
Use
In this Customizing activity, you can make the settings for the Employee Self-Service (ESS) Skills Profile. You can use the switches available to make the following settings:
Switches QUALI DEST1 and QUALI DEST2 allow you to set up the system ID required for the RFC connection for ESS. In QUALI DEST1, you must enter the first characters of the system ID (maximum of 10 characters). If the system ID exceeds 10 characters, you can enter the remaining characters in QUALI DEST2. In each of the two switches you can enter a maximum of 10 characters. That is, you can enter a system ID that is composed of a maximum of 20 characters.
Switch QUALI FORM enables you to set up the SAPscript form required to print the skills profile in ESS. A standard form is already set up in the standard delivery (see below).
Switch QUALI REQPR enables you to set up which skills proficiencies, required by the position, are to be displayed in the employee's skillsprofile.
Switch QUALI TRURL enables you to set up whether a suitable training proposal should be displayed in the ESS Skills Profile for missing or insufficient skills and licenses.
Standard settings
The following switch settings are delivered as standard:
QUALI DEST1: - (no value)

What are the ESS career and job bsps to activate?
hi all.
we have been asked to look at implementing the career and job iviews from ESS 100 (we have ecc 6.0 backend).
i read the step by step document i found here but from what i read about bsps, they have to be activated. but i did not find any info in the docs that tell me what the bsp services are that i need to activate.
can anyone tell me what they are, please? also what the procedure is to acticate? i really appreciate it.
thx,
mikeHi Mike,
I don't have any idea about which BSP applications have to be activated for ESS career and jobs but I can tell you the procedure to activate.
Goto transaction SICF, follow the path default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap. Right click the service and choose activate service.

How to disable options in ESS-Career and job-Skilla profile
Hi All,
In ESS-Career and Job-Skill profile,there are three are three buttons 1.EDIT SKILL,2.ADD NEW SKILL,3.DELETE SKILL.
I want to disable those options in Skills profile. Can some body please help me in solving this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Thirun.These three buttons are not configurable. You could easily modify them using NWDI and NetWeaver Developer Studio.
This is pretty much your only option to customize this iview.
If you have ESS in a track in NWDI, the Skills Web Dynpro project is under --> ess~skl. Create a project from here and open up the "Ovewview" View from the VcSklOverview Component.
From there, you just need to set the buttons to "Not Visibile"

ESS - Career and Job - Career Profile: Page not found
Hello,
we are facing a problem. When I try to open the Service "Career profile" in subarea "Career" of area "Career and Job" we are getting the error "Page not found or not available". The default-log of the java server lists the following error:
#1#javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Object not found: com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_career_job/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.career_service at portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_career_job. Root exception is javax.naming.NamingException: Object not found: com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_career_job/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.career_service at portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_career_job
I tried to find out, what item in the IMG has to be changed to solve the problem but I cannot identify a service or a resource where the path com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_career_job/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.career_service at portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_career_job is listed.
Can anyone give helpful hints?
Thanks in advance,
André
Edited by: Andre Siegling on Jun 14, 2010 4:40 PMHi,
The Resource you need to change is EMPLOYEE_CAREER_PAG and the URL location should be as below:
ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.ess.employee/com.sap.pct.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.ess.area_career_job/com.sap.pct.ess.area_career_job
This should solve the issue.

Hi Gurus,
We have installed EHP4 but are not sure as to how the "Career and Job" in ESS in the Portal should look like. ie what it contains.
We are confused between the EHP3 and 4 mix. We have tried to make sense of this via the Home Page Framework but that all seems to be a bit of a mess now with the new EHP4 objects.
If someone could provide us with some clarity it would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
GarthHi,
You use SAP e-Recruiting 3.00 with Support Package 1, or higher.
Before you can use the e-Recruiting applications, you have to make the following settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
1. Specify the server on which SAP e-Recruiting is installed. To do so, choose the following IMG path: Cross-Application Components u2192 Homepage Framework u2192 Resources u2192 Define Server for Resources. Enter the server name and the port of your e-Recruiting system.
2. Assign the server to all e-recruiting resources and add the URL parameters stored. To do so, choose the following IMG path: Cross-Application Components u2192 Homepage Framework u2192 Resources u2192 Define Resources.
Enter the e-recruiting server for the following resources. Add the relevant URL parameters by replacing in the BSP client the 000 client with the client of your e-recruiting system.
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_APPLICATIONS_SERVICE
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_DATA_OVERVIEW
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_DIRECT_APPL_SERVICE
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_FAVORITES_SERVICE
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_PERSONAL_SETTINGS
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_PROFILE_RELEASE
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_PROFILE_SERVICE
¡ EMPLOYEE_CANDIDATE_SEARCH_JOBS_SERVICE.
The support component for E-Recruiting Applications is PA-ER. -
ESS Career and JOB error in DSM and SSO
Hi All,
I have installed ECC in WAS 6.4. All other pages are working except career and job. When I am clicko on JOB search then I am getting a popup saying :
<b>Session Management</b> will <b>not</b> work !
Please check DSM log for details.
You can turn off this alert inside 'Support Desk' -> 'SAP Application'
Afetr clicking OK it is giving message
<b>Logon Error</b>Logon requires activated <b>Single Sign-On on</b> this server. This is not the case. Contact your system administrator
Same server I am using as ITS server and there SSO is working. I have exported certificate from portal (WAS 6.4 java) and imported in WAS ABAP (ECC 5.0)
Thanks in advance
RaktimThe alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS is the alias on the portal for a myERP2004 system.
If you search for the Installationguide for MySAP ERP 2004 Java components,
you will see that this includes a XSS component 5.0 and contains amongst others ESS and MSS.
This needs to be configured as well.
The other alias above mentioned need to be created on the myERP2004 system using this URL (Webdynpro Admin):
<http://<ERPserver>:<PortNo>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenu

ESS Career and Job: e-Recruiting Integration
First we are on EP7 w/ SP 10 with the latest ESS SP 7
I am trying to get my e-Recruiting BSP applications to work correctly in the Portal. But unfortunatley I consistently get this error message.
The following error text was processed in the system:
BSP Exception: Das Objekt application.do/start in der URL /sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/application.do/start?sap-syscmd=nocookie&sap-client=&sap-language=en&sap-accessibility=&sap-ep-version=7.00.200611091758&sap_ep_version=7.00.200611091758&sap_ep_baseurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsnocfpd1.myco.org%3A50100%2Firj ist nicht gültig.
When I put the BSP URL into my browser
https://snocfrd1.myco.org/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/application.do?rcfLogAppl=SEARCH_JOBS
it works fine.
anybody have any ideas how to troubleshoot this? I'm assuming it has to do with all the rest of the garbage parameters the Portal is sending to e-Recruit.

i had done required OBN as of SAP NOTE 1416756 , 1408243.but my issue doesnt soleved
iam just postinga screen shot of that error
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8157/uiapraisal2.jpg
can u people help me in solving this issue.wat might be the problem and how to get trhe solution
pls help me as iam in very emergency with this issue
Bye
Waiting 4 responsesandeep, im still looking for you to provide the
URL of both pages in your screenshot.
Outside of a weird firewall issue or something, you have 1 of 2 issues.
1. Your OBN Target configuration you did in the notes is wrong. which means the target URL is not pointing to the iview properly.
2. Your iview for the sap page called appraisal_document is not in accessible in the correct content area.
here is the location in the standard SAP portal area, not sure if you copied and already using a custom ESS tab....
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.14.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.14.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.14.career_job/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.appraisal_document_pmp
also, on the previous post, it was wrong the wrong webdynpro's that were told you. The POWL webdynpro's you already have access to, its when from that application you try to launch the document. You want to launch this webdynrpo, which is configured in the appraisal_document iview:
HAP_AC_PMP_MAIN - for predefined
HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT- for flexible. -
