Ok ,
Do one thing
go to "SE16"

Some questions relating to ESS Customization

Hi Gurus,
Have a couple of questions regarding ESS Customization. And also to understand ESS better.
1. I am trying to pull out the Additional Personal Info stored in Infotype - 0077 and show it in Portal. For this, I am planning to write a new functinal module/ RFC which would return the infotype values to front end. Is that ok or is there any best practice for doing this?
2. Where is the Home Area Page defined? Is it part of the WebDynpro component or is it stored as a configurable element in the backend? Any directions would be greatly appreciated. I am still in the process of importing the ESS Components into the track. So, couldnt get to see the code yet.
3. Which transaction can I use to see the various Infotypes' descriptions? And which transaction/ table can I use to see the
infotypes'contents or fields?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anjana Raghav

Hi,
The Home Area Group in Self-Services is indeed configurable at the backend.
This article explains in detail. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10ddda33-277b-2a10-5294-9913ee5d698f
Thanks,
Any inputs on the first question?

ESS customization deploy

Dear all,
We have some customization on ESS, and our consultant deploys the modified component by compile the component in NWDS as an EAR file, and manual deployment by the SDM tool.
It looks horribly wrong to me, as I think it should deploy via NWDI as a SCA.
Can someone please kindly clarify for me?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bill

Hi all,
Thanks for the confirmation, would like to ask one more question.
As far as I know, in general the ESS customization will deploy development environment by component, but in production environment, it will deploy as SCA.
Because we don't have consolidation environment, I would like to know if I can fully simulate the production environment by assembly the SCA and deploy to development environment via SDM manually
Regards
Bill

ESS customization : No impact in the Front ENd

Hi ALL,
I made the ESS customization in the IMG . (so ressources , area groups, area ...).
In the Front End , I stil have the same display.
I empty the cache and restart the IE but still have the same result.
I tried to change the mapping area group->area in the standard area group SAPESSDEFAULT but even for this nothing change ?
Any idea ?
Thx

I believe your overview iview is not pointing to correct SPRO Area Group page ID.
Please try review your changes based on below articles on SDN...

MSS/ESS customizations

Hi all,
I'm a bit new regarding MSS/ESS customizations and I would like to know where can I find the right customization path in SIMG_SPORT / SPRO or t-code for this error message on portal page :
"The properties for destination FP_ICF_DATA of type HTTP could not be located".
Thanks in advance,
André

Hi Andre
This is part of the J2EE setup, you need to create an HTTP setup using Visual Administrator as described in the following link

Ess Customization by NWDS

Hello all,
I have two question.
1. i have to customize the ESS web dynpro application e.g. Address Screen for USA and SAUDI. we have to add the date field "Hijra Date" and "Hijra Age" from the Backend for saudi and have to add some fields on USA as well. How may i do it give step by procedure for importing it into nwds then how it will reflect back.
2.i know that first i have to import these application in NWDS threw NWDI. but if i will import it and change it here then how will it reflect back and if i change it then then original will get removed or not .
3. Can we create the 2 copies of a single component like "Address". What can be the right approach to maintain the screens for US and SAUDI, can we hide some fields from the particular screen of US or SAUDI at run time. And if we can, How ?
Thanks,
Punit.

You have to first setup the NWDI...then create tracks in it and import the ESS SCA file into it....then import the track as Development Configuration ....then create a project for it....check out the code ...start modifying it and check it back in...refer to the note 872892 for it...

OBIA 7963 - HR Analytics - Customization Question

**Issue Description:** : OOTB Headcount calculations should exclude group of people who are called as non executive directors (NED). There are no indicators/ Flag in the source system to identify who is NED in a particular point in time. There are some CSV files (Outside source system) with the list of employee who they identified as NED between two dates
Proposed Solution:
I am planning to use this CSV as lookup file for the incoming source data and stamp employee records with NED_IND (Y/N or 1/0) between two dates, however I have following questions
1. Should we stamp this NED_IND flag in Employee dimension (W_EMPLOYEE_D) which is designed as Type 2 SCD OOTB or
2. Should we stamp this in workforce fact table (W_WRKFC_EVT_MONTH_F) as a NED_IND indicator flag (1 or 0), so that this flag will be available as part of snapshot calculations
Considering the fact that OOTB Workforce fact process is reasonably complicated with series of mappings both in Full and Incremental load, would you suggest any of above mentioned solutions or any better solution so that we can reduce unnecessary customization of OOTB ETL and preserve existing logic?
Thanks in advance for your time
Venkat G

A few things to consider:
1. If you are trying to alter the actual "Headcount" metric, then you need to edit the FACT tables. This includes the EVENT as well as the MONTHLY snapshot. You may also need to modify the logic of the "ACTIVE/INACTIVE" flag...as this is what is used to calculate the headcounts. Essentially, edit the SDE to bring in the NED FLAG, and then modify the logic for how OOTB "ACTIVE/INACTIVE" is calculated.
2. If you are running reports that use EMPLOYEE DImension, and you want to also see if the Employee is NED or NOT NED, then yes, you should also add this to the Employee Dim. Also, suppose that an employee can BECOME NED...if you need to capture this history, then you need to add the SCD logic. Also, if an existing employee can become NED..you may have to alter the incremental logic to modify both the DIM and the FACT.
What may be simpler is just to modify the SDE mapplet to use the LOOKUP for NED..and flag those as INACTIVE in the SDE itself...in which case you do not have to modify the downstream ETLs.
Hope that helps. Pls mark correct or helpful.

AIF Customization Questions

Like many Arch users I have a set of home-brew bash scripts that I use to customize my system post install. After my most recent clean up & refactoring of these scripts I had the sinking feeling that I was simply reimplementing a subset of AIF and decided to take another look at using AIF as my custom install solution.
AIF looks great. The first couple times I peeked at it I didn't get it, but those were early days when I was fresh to Arch and still getting to grips with how things worked. I feel like I have more of a handle on things now and I'd like to put together a "gentle introduction" page about AIF at some point, based on my own "learning AIF" notes that I've been compiling. I have some outstanding questions that I'd like to get some feedback on, listed below.
AIF INFORMATION SOURCES
I have used a variety of sources to draw on during my research into AIF. I would appreciate any pointers to other sources that I might be missing.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?st … =&do=index
OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS:
I have a couple questions that I'd appreciate feedback on. Apologies if I've missed anything obvious.
QUESTION 1: Custom Config File Installation
I was reading through the arch-releng mbox archive and am certain I came across a couple mails by Dieter addressing this in 2009, but for the life of me I haven't been able to locate them again. Dieter, I'd welcome your comments here if you have time.
There is a class of config files that are installed by existing core packages but which require customization in order to properly function on a given system. A good example of this is /etc/acpi/handler.sh .
To date I have been handling installation of these files in one of several ways:
heredoc used to write out a file
keep file in a special overlay subdirectory in relation to my post-install scripts and copy over from there
With AIF, it is less clear to me what the best approach is (again, I swear I read an arch-releng mail from Dieter about this from 2009). Options I can envision include:
Custom aif lib to copy a file from a subdirectory, wgetting or a vcs repo. I'm ok with writing this/repourposing my existing code and making it AIF friendly, but not sure this is the best solution. I'm also not sure where the best location for these custom config files would be in relation to the the custom profile (to which they seem most related). I'd like to keep them "close" to the profile itself (i.e. not scatter my profile and config files into disparate repos or directory structures).
Custom aif function to take heredocs from the AIF profile (since these files are specific to a system) and write them out. This would bloat the the AIF profile a bit, but isn't the worst solution. I've used this approach before in my custom scripts, it just requires some scripts to easily update the heredocs in the profile from current system configuration.
Custom package to install just the config (seems needlessly complex, particularly when the package is just to copy over a file, likely on top of a config already installed by another package)
Unknown AIF native solution. Something I'm missing?
So what's the best approach to installing these must-customize files during AIF? Any of the above or something I've missed?
QUESTION 2: daemons, modules, config file values
This is touched on in a mail from Dieter on Mar 31 2009 (http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 00469.html) but I'm not sure that there is a current best practice solution. If I'm missing a function in AIF, major apologies and someone please point me in the right direction.
This question is similar to the above question of config files. When an existing config file shouldn't be overwritten completely, what's the current best-practice method of modifying it? Classic example is /etc/rc.conf adding and removing
daemons, modules, etc.
Personally, I have a custom lib function I use to add/remove daemons, modules, and individual config file settings (taking into consideration the @daemon variations), and I'm happy to use this as a custom lib in my AIF installs (or clean it up and propose a patch), but I wanted to make sure I'm not duplicating effort here.
I appreciate anyone that can take a moment to provide information on these issues.

altercation wrote:
Dieter, thanks so much for the (amazingly rapid) reply. I'll focus on reviewing the functions you've mentioned. Augeas looks interesting. I'll probably start by repurposing my existing code and will post once that's done.
A couple final questions:
Are there any (yours or others) custom AIF profiles/procedures you consider to be good examples (since the unofficial subdir is outdated)? Are your own profiles posted somewhere else on github?
Are you copying your own custom libs/procedures into /usr/lib/aif/user/* before using them? Or do you reference them otherwise?
Again, this is a huge help in understanding how to make use of AIF.
Ironically, all my available "arch dev time" is going into AIF itself. I once had the goal of completely automatic my home deployments with nice aif configs (in fact, this was the whole reason I started AIF in the first place) but I didn't work on that for a long time.
About the "own custom things", I forgot how that works, but the README says
* user modules -> /usr/lib/aif/user/<module name> (put your own modules here)
Btw on my blog you can also find somemore information

ESS Licensing Question

If I develop a custom infotype and expose it in the Employee Self-Services portal, is this covered by the ESS license? Or do I need an SAP license for the employee to access it?

Hi Kenneth,
I think Ravi answered for the first question.
Yes it is covered ie there is no additional licensing involved for customizing iviews. You can create as many iviews as your business requires.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

ESS Customization with FPM

Hi,
I need to do some customization of ESS/MSS applications. I heared that there is framework called FPM ( Floor Plan Manager) which is used for ESS/MSS applications,
Could u some let me know how that FPM will work and how to learn and do it , If u have any links, please give it to me.
Regards,
Jyothi

Hi Jyothi,
The FPM is the central part of the self services architecture. Technically it is implemented as webdynpro component. For HCM, the FPM is the underlying framework.
You shall deploy Business package for self service administrator. This business package provides a administrator role and four iviews FPM Application Editor, FPM Application Wizard, FPM View Editor
and FPM View Wizard.
For further information refer online help documentation at;

ESS Config Questions

Hi,
I have following questions about say Address Infotype. I am aware that all these listed below are possible. But looking for the correct table names.
1) How do I make fields mandatory in the backend PA30 transaction ?
2) How do I make fields mandatory in the ESS Address Service ?
3) If I have 3 new custom subtypes for address created in the backend, how do I enable the Portal users access these subtypes from the ESS Address service? How do I make these 3 new subtypes available on the Portal ?
Thanks,
Gandolf

2) Open the required iview in portal content administration and preview it. From there choose CTRL+Rightclick mouse button, this will open up WebDynpro administrator personalization. Where in you can personalize every field of that iview/application. Making mandatory is one of them.
3) V_T7XSSPERSUBTYP - in this view, make new entries for custom subtypes. Refer to the standard entries/documentation.
