What is ESS
Employee Self-Service or ESS is a web-based solution designed to automate many of the repetitive tasks of the HR function
by allowing employees direct access to HR information and services. The basic idea of ESS is that employees are empowered to be responsible for their own personal information.
Benefits:-
One of the major reason for organizations implementing ESS is that it allows HR professionals to spend less time in administrative tasks like paper filing,
attendance monitoring etc and more time dealing with more complex and strategic HR issues.
The Gartner Group had estimated that 40 percent of traditional HR activities were handled by ESS in the year 2000 and this can only increase over time.
You can learn about ESS and its features and also Business Package details from:-

WebDynpro ESS content pages with ECC6 backend blank while loading (hanging)

Hello all.
I am implementing ESS on a newly installed NetWeaver 2004s SP10 Java Server with portal and existing ERP2005 / ECC6 backend.
Whenever it comes to the concrete pages, e.g. own address or WhoIsWho, the pages remain blank while loading. The "progress bar" in the Browser status frame moves forward a bit and then seems to hang.
I know this issue was asked in some other threads but I couldn't find the concrete ansewer to my situation.
My steps:
1) Deployment: XSS (PCUI_GP) 07, ESS 07, ESS BP 07, all last SP
2) Portal systems as mentioned in ESS docu: I configured all system parameters but the connection tests fail for the J2EE and the "R/3" system, is that a problem?
3) JCO definition: all tests successfull, even SSO.
4) ECC6: demo users linked to employees, given the neccessary(?) permissions (mainly ESS role profiles and S_Service authorization as I found that in another thread)
5) Portal / PCD permissions for the ESS user: on the ESS root folder, on the systems and even on the "Content prov. by SAP" folder, where I don't want them...
What I missed regarding some other posts:
I did not configure the portal content in the IMG of the backend under Personal Management->ESS. Do I have to?
There are some Service Keys predefined but not all like in the ESS docu, e.g. the one for WHOSWHO is not there like spelled in the docu. Do I have to define it?
If so, what are the correct keys and parametets, since I can't find it in the ESS docu.
Please can someone give me a complete example for one application function with the Service Key and all service parameters like path, object, pcd url?
On top of each application section in the ESS docu is a technical description. Are these the entries for service definition? But not all fields are matching, an example which data belongs to which field in the service definition would be helpfull.
Or did I miss something else?
Where are the log files located to find additional info (I'm relatively new...)
Thanks in advance
Carsten

Thanks for the tool, Darren. I may try it in future.
I solved it:
After setting up some general permissions of the Portal-Content folders in reference to a Portal post-install guide, the "Everyone" default group was missing on the ESS content folder because the permissions were not inherited any more.
I added "ESS role" permissions before but not "Everyone" group. I guess "Everyone" is needed for some general content included in the iviews. After adding "Everyone" with eu-role to ESS content folder (and srvcfg) it worked.

Carsten

ESS installation

Hi All,
is it possible to install the ESS business package on EP6.0 (without WAS 6.4 JavaStack) and HR running on WAS 6.4 with an ABAP stack? So we will have only a J2EE machine for the portal and no JavaStack for the WAS.
Kind regards,
Stephan

Abhiram,
If you have not installed the EP 7.0 then you can install ESS/MSS along with the Portal using SAPINST.
From the installation Master DVD, Select the following path. ( this path is from the NW04s SR1 DVD)
SAP Installation Master -> SAP ERP Support Release 1 -> SAP Systems and then to your database and type of system.
If you select the Netweaver 2004s Support Release 1 you will not see the options for installing ESS/MSS components ***
In the Software Units Selection/Usage type screen select the following for Portal and ESS install. You may need more based on your need.
- BP ERP
- XSS
- EP
- BI Java (Optional but highly receommended)
- AS JAVA
Here are some documents you might be interested.

Bye
Waiting 4 response

sandeep, 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.

Appraisal Documents POWL in ESS

Hi all,
I have a query regarding the possibility of creating document through ESS POWL not MSS, in MSS there is a create button to allow creation of document however this button is not available for ESS, in our process the employee will initiate a document and prepare it hence send it to his manager for approval.
Is it possible that this scenarion is not supported within the Flexible Performance Management framewok.
Regards,

Many customers do not like to leave this responsibility on the user - to create the appraisal themselves. They create it in advance, possibly in a status/substatus that is only editable by the appraisee.
If you want to allow the ess users to create appraisals for themselves, either
create your own POWL query, with own class to implement in POWL the create document button (as the MSS POWL Query has it, you'll need to enhance the standard ABAP WD Application to take other POWL ID)
or
enhance the standard SAP delivered POWL Class (faster but less clean in my opinion).
