ESS Guided Procedures My Firs Days link, GRANT POINTS!!!!

Hi All,
I have created a custom GP for the First Days in ESS and I have to replace existing First Days GP
Area Page for Life and work Events contains links (eg First Days , Benefits etc) First Days link trigger execution of GP, calling it by Process ID
Question: Where in IMG, I configure that relation
My First Days Link --- Guided Procedure Process ID?

In continuation of my question...
In order to use Life and Work Events application (For Non US)..
I updated the process template id in resource definition in SPRO transaction.
Earlier it was :
URL Parameter : process.template.id=CECE64A19C8F11DAA5C1000E7FA67AEB&process.autostart=true (for US)
now I have changed it to
URL Parameter : process.template.id=CE140F51C11711D9824C000BCD45EE55&process.autostart=true (for non US)
So now I guess I am actually picking up non US application..
But now when I try to access application :
Personal Data in My first days
Family/member dependent
I am getting below error :
The following ABAP Exception occurred: SERVICEKEY_INVALID:
caused by
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.modelimpl.dynamicrfc.WDDynamicRFC_Fault_Exception: Fault name: SERVICEKEY_INVALID, fault text: SERVICEKEY_INVALID
I do not even know whether i should revert back to old process template id for US country

Guided Procedures Adobe form callable object GRANT POINTS!!!!

Hi,
I am trying to add Adobe form to the GP. I created a simple form template .XDP which contains only two element to test in GP
I created CO no problem based on XDP.
When I am trying to preview my GP I see the following functional error :
No activity is currently selected
or if the CO is attached to the first block for execution this one:
The next activity is not yet available: try again later using the "Refresh" button
Any Ideas ?
Any other COs including WD app COs and other types of callable objects in the same GP work just fine
Thanks
Denis

Hi Satya,
Thanks for your reply.
I got my mistake with the help of my colleague.
I had missed to add the below code in wdDoModifyView. It now works well :
Code I added is this -
IWDInteractiveForm iForm1 = (IWDInteractiveForm) view.getElement("InteractiveForm");
iForm1.setDynamicPDF(true);
Thanks,

ESS Guided Procedures EXIT

Hi,
we are using ESS Travel Management Scenario with EP70 and Web dynpro with a ERP2005 HR Backend. (Create Travel Request/Expense etc)
We are using a layout with detailed navigation on the left side.
Our Problem is: Once a WD Guided Procedure (like Create Travel request) is started by the user, he cannot exit anymore. There is no BACK option or EXIT button or so.
If the user clicks on the left side in the detailed navigation link, the portal starts another screen in a separate new window, as long as the guided procedure is there and active. But in the new window, the personal number is locked, of course.
The only way to exit a guided procedure that is not finished, is to log off or to close the window.
How can I give the user the option to exit the guided procedure properly?

Hi Holger,
This is because the GP is not releasing locks properly. There was a work around suggested, where in the forced lockproperty is set to true in the GP iview that is used in the ESS.

ESS Guided procedure Default role assignment

We are implementing ESS in EP7 with ECC 6.0
After setting up Life and Work events it seems that there are default roles Administrator and Overseer that need to be assigned to portal roles, I am just not sure what portal roles to assign. Are these supposed to be assigned to Guided procedure type roles or to MSS type roles?
Any insight would be helpful

Hi Gail,
These roles are for the GP processes.
The Default Roles should be configured for each process
This is an important step as this will ensure that the process is started without the user having to assign users who have will administer and oversee the execution of the process. Typically the users who are assigned to the processes as Administrators are the HR administrators and overseers could be managers. However this is not a hard-and-fast rule and this has to be decided at the time of implementation.
hope this helps!!

Sharadha

Life work events and Guided Procedure

Hi,
We have installed ESS business package on EP7 portal and connected to ECC 6.0. We want to configure Life and Work Events (LWE). When a user clicks on Life and Work Events Tab > First Day, Marriage, Benefit for that matter any link on that page, It takes users to Folder selection page of guided procedure to select the process.
The question is that is it suppose take a user to respective guided procedure as First Day or etc. rather than asking user to select the guided procedure process from folder.
Thanks,
Guest user

If default configuration takes to actual process that make us feel we are missing something in configuration.
Lakshmi, Do you have any clue as what is missing to be configured since it is taking us to folder selection page?
Thanks for your help,

Hi,
I am not sure about the version. But you can follow the steps below.
1. Create a Web Dynpro Poroject (Ideally create a DC , but if you don't have NWDI setup a project will do).
2. Add reference to com.sap.security.api.jar and sap.comcafeugpapi.jar
3. Under WebDynpro References -> Library References add sap.com/cafeugp~api
4. Put following code in wdDoInit()
public void wdDoInit()
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
     IGPRuntimeManager rtm = GPProcessFactory.getRuntimeManager();
     IWDMessageManager msgMgr= wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
     try{
     IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
     IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
     IGPUserContext userContext = GPContextFactory.getContextManager().createUserContext(user);
     Date startDate = new Date(110,1,1); // Start date as 01-Jan-2010
     Date endDate= new Date(111,12,31); // End date as 31-Dec-2011
     IGPProcessInstanceInfo[] array = rtm.getRunningInstances(GPSearchRole.SEARCH_ROLE_OWNER, startDate, endDate, userContext);
     for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++){
     String instanceId = array<i>.getProcessInstanceID();
//        Write logic to pass the instance ID to the RFC
msgMgr.reportSuccess("Instance id =" + instanceId);
     catch(Exception ex)
     msgMgr.reportException(ex.getLocalizedMessage(),false);
    //@@end
Let me know if you face any issues.

Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS

Could somebody let me know what exactly is the use of Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS packages.
Points will be awarded for brief answers.

Hi Lina,
Guided procedures are basically for enabling access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes.
CAF Guided Procedures (CAF GP) is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools.
Also, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks.
The following links will help you
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/fb/5e6f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
Also we can know how you integrate existing applications and services into the GP framework
The below link tells about GP to ESS

URL Links in Guided Procedures appear in large fonts.

Hello Gurus,
While navigating through a guided procedure application I had developed using Web Dynpro I noticed that all the URL Links appeared in a large font. I tried switching the font size to small but this made no difference in the views. Then I noticed that throughout the entire GP administration interface all the links were in the same larger font. Is there some configuration file where this property can be changed. It is affecting the look and feel of the application.
Thanks,
Luis

Thanks Sue, I was afraid of that!
The section of GB help on adding URLs says you can view via iTunes or DVD, and launch the website by clicking the link, hence my confusion.
It's a shame, because that would be a great feature in making sales or marketing DVD's - any idea why the disconnect, and do you know if Apple plans to add that feature?
Thanks again!

Guided Procedures vs ISR

Hi
We are trying to automate our internal form processes using SAP adobe interactive forms. These forms must be available online and must be routed to the relevant approvers and processors on submission.
Can anyone tell the difference between ISR and Guided Procedures and which one is the best to use.
Regards,
Michael Mayisana

Hi Micheal,
Please check the answers for your queries. I have adding all the info i have.
1. It doesnt exactly mean that the GP are only for Offline Interactive forms., they r for online too. but better suited for CAF appl. For this case we need, we will take the help of CAF GP i.e. Composite appplication framework GP. CAF GP is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools. As a part of the Composite Application Framework (CAF), GP enables access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes. In addition, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks
2. As to my implementation the form cannot be rendered on the front-end without any extra web-dynpro development when using GP. Like ABAP Webdynpro iviews can than be integrated with portal. and hence portal is used as front end.
Pls chk the below link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0957cb6-5103-2a10-6d9d-a0a4d68c8bf1
3.Example as such , might be a general MSS/ ESS implementation but check out this blog for such scenario

Hope this helps you and hope i was clear .
GoodLuck!

Guided Procedures roles

Hello all,
We are currently using ERP 2005 and SAP EP 7.0 and I have the Life and work events working in the system. I am also aware of where they are configured and how you can add/delete any section in the process.
What i would like to know is:
When i click on a 'My First Days' Process link, it asks me to define an administrator and an overseer. I was wondering if there is a way i can bring the end user directly to the screen where he/she starts entering the details instead of being asked to specify an administrator/overseer.
In other words, i want to get rid of the step where the user is asked to specify who the administrator is.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bhushan.

This blog is very useful to u and in this blog she is explained what roles to needed for Guided Procedure.The Composite Application Framework role is used for the Guided Procedure in the Portal.First create the user and then assign the CAF role for that user.This is way to obtain the Guided Procedure for that user.
