ESS in MSS Iview

Hi all,
Is ESS in MSS iview equivalent with related activities iview? I'm trying to make ESS for MY employee as a stand alone area instead of merging it in employee profile general data. But if i preview related activities in the portal content the page return blank, can somebody help me? I know the step to add new area, add service but the iview return blank. Does this iview need eventing with team viewer? Many thanks

Hi
Thanks, your link really help me, i actually don't follow the step but after reading the first two sentence i have decide to copy the general information page and remove all iview beside team viewer and related activites (which is what i need), so instead of creating a new one, i modify general information page. Thank you very much.

Hi Larry,
Our ESS in MSS iviews are not working. We are getting the following error.
Error when processing your request
What has happened?
The URL http://portal.com:8050/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/catw was not called due to an error.
Note
The following error text was processed in the system SID : Templateinterpretation abgebrochen, Template nicht vorhanden.
The error occurred on the application server "name" and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:
SYSTEM-EXIT of program SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION
What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system SID in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server "name" in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server "name" . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

ESS-in-MSS options for ECC 5.0 / EP6.0

Hi,
We have ECC5.0 & EP6 SP15 and have implemented ESS & MSS. In the old business package, there were iviews for ESS in MSS but I can't find anything in the new one - for example, we used to have Time Statement (PZ04) as an ESS-in-MSS iview but I can't see how to do this with the new web dynpro version of Time Statement - can anyone help?
Many thanks
Jane

Jane,
unfortunately, it's not included in MSS for ECC5.0 anymore.

NW04 EP6 Sp13 & ECC5.0 - Problem previewing MSS iviews

We have just completed an install of NW06 EP6 SP13 & ECC5.0 at the back-end and are looking to implement ESS and MSS. In trying to preview an MSS iview, I am getting errors with the connection. A pre-requisite may be missing. This is our landscape:
ECC5.0
Abap Stack
EP6 SP13
Java Stack
latest versions of MSS and ESS BPs
The system connectivity, aliase, SAP Logon Tickets have been configured. The test connection is working. The userids in Portal and ECC5.0 are the same. LDAP is being used for initial Portal authentication.
With EP6 SP2, a back-end plug-in was required and we are unable to find one for ECC5.0. What do we need on the back-end for the front-end and the back-end to communicate and allow us the capability of previewing the ESS and MSS iviews?
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Neeta

Hi,
Note that I am running EP6 SP13 in NW04 and our backend is ECC5.0. The link I am trying to preview/run is, per Ketuls suggestion :
http://sapptdapp1:50800/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenu
The error message I get is (rather long....):
While processing the current request, an exception occured which could not be handled by the application or the framework.
If the information contained on this page doesn't help you to find and correct the cause of the problem, please contact your system administrator. To facilitate analysis of the problem, keep a copy of this error page. Hint: Most browsers allow to select all content, copy it and then paste it into an empty document (e.g. email or simple text file).
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
   com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Failed to resolve JCOClient name 'SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData'. No such JCO destination is defined in the SLD
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.serverimpl.wdc.sl.JCOClientConnection.resolveConnectionParameter(JCOClientConnection.java:493)

    ... 53 more
See full exception chain for details.
Correction Hints
Retrieving a JCO destination with name 'SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData' from the System Landscape Directory (SLD) failed, as the destination could not be found in the SLD. The most probable reason for that is that the destination has not been maintained yet.
Use the preinstalled Web Dynpro Content Admin application to check/edit the destination. Use the Ping and Test functions of the Content Admin to verify that each destination is properly configured.
Additional information about the System Landscape Directory and the Web Dynpro Content Admin can be found in the SAP Developer Network (SDN) and in the Online Help for the SAP Web Application Server (installed with SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and available online).
Note: the above hints are only a guess. They are automatically derived from the exception that occurred and therefore can't be guaranteed to address the original problem in all cases.

Portal Permission on ESS and MSS

Folks,
I am having an perssion issue on Portal ESS MSS . When I give user superadmin role and administrator group then only ESS and MSS iViews works else I get error like this
Read of object with ID portal_content/com.sap.pct/srvconfig/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.mss/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.ato/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.fpmapplications/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.attendanceoverview failed.
I have given end user permission on Portal Content Folder. What else can I do to fix this issue ?
Thanks

Hi
In addition to end user permission ,give Read Access to srvconfig, line_manager and Employes-Self-Service Folders.
Thats all what is required.

ESS and MSS on EP6.0 SP9

Hi,
I have problems with ESS and MSS iViews on EP6.0 SP9.
I have imported business packages for ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1.4 into EP6.0 SP9 on NW04 with ITS 6.20. The connection to the R/3 4.6C is created with SSO based on logontickets. I created relevant aliases, e.g., SAP_R3_HumanResources, SAP_R3_Cross. The connection works when I test it in the Support function on the Portal and few ESS iviews, e.g. Address.
After import of business packages both Portal-server and ITS have been restarted.
I have customised CATS in R/3 and created CVR parameter for the user.
Unfortunatelly most of the ESS and MSS iViews dont work. E.g. Recording Working Times iview comes with different errors depending on the iview type.
RWT based on ITS comes with the error message: Cannot start transaction. The ITS couldnt start transaction MA_CA_TSHEET because of the following error: MA_CA_TSHEET is unknown.
RWT Java-based iViews: "[Method getCatsData] java.lang.Exception: SAP_R3_Cross: No connection to SAP R/3 system; check user name and connection."
Both user name and connection works if using Support function.
RWT IAC based iView: I can get through to the SAP CATS, but the screen doesnt look like CATS registration profile and is useless.
Is there anybody that have seen similar errors and have solution ideas?
Thanks,
Beata

Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

Hi Experts,
This is the first time I am going to deal with
ESS and MSS.
I have some basic questions about it and they are
listed below:
1. In an organization if they want to integrate
ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
is, will they install the packages in the R/3
system and then use the to portal features to
make iViews of ESS and MSS.
2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
and the R/3 system
3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
MSS applications, if yes how?
4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
Please do let me know on these subjects and also
if anyone of you have any links or documents
associated with this scenario please do send me.
Thank you
Regards
Luke

Hi,
here is what I know..
1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.

4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
You can find all the different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.

Preview of ESS MSS iviews in EP 6.0 SP2

Hello
I have followed the following steps:
Create R/3 System in portal
Created a R/3 System in the System Landscape with the System creation
wizard.
STEP1
Logged to the portal and choose from the navigation System
Administration -> System Configuration -> System Landscape
##right clicked -> New -> System
##Selected SAP_R3_Dedicated
##Clicked Next
Step 2: General Properties
##Entered System Name RQA(name of our R/3 system)
##Entered System ID RQA
##Saveed System as System
##Clicked Next
Step 3: Summary -> Finish
Then Opened the object for editing
After the basic settings through the wizard specified the settings for
the backend system.
##Selected Property Category #Connector#
##Entered Application Host -(entered the ip of my sap server)
##Entered SAP Client 100
##Entered SAP System Name RQA
##Entered SAP System Number 00
##Entered Server Port 3200
##Clicked on Save
Then "User Management"
##Selected Property Category #User Management#
##Selected Logon Method: UIDPW
##Selected User Mapping Type: user,admin
##Clicked on Saved
As the final step in R/3 System creation we must add a System Alias.
##Edited: System Aliases
##Entered Alias: 'SAP_R3_HumanResources'
##Clicked on Add
##Clicked on Save
Maintain User Mapping
After creating a system in the System Landscape we can now edit the User
Mapping.
##Selected User Mapping
##Selected the System SAP_R3_HumanResources
##Inserted valid Username and Password for that system
I then created sap transaction iview for sm04 ,I was able to see the
list of users.that means it was runninfg fine.
Now When I wanted to see the preview of any of the iviews of the ESS or
MSS I am getting the error:
Application URL ':///pz39/!' is not valid! Please check the protocol and
host entries for system 'SAP_R3_HumanResources'..
For your information I have made a user in portal with admin rights and
created mapping a user in SAP R/3 with the tcode hruser.I entered the
login parameters of the ESS user in the portal.
This is very critical.Please reply at earliest.

No preview button or option for all ESS MSS iViews under portal content

Hi All,
We are doing a green field implementation for one of our clients, we have installed ECC 6.0 with EHP5 in R/3 system and SAP Netweaver Portal 7.02 with SP8. We have also deployed suitable ESS MSS business components from service market place.
BP_ERP5ESS 1.41
BPERPESSWDA 1.50
BP_ERP5MSS 1.51
As it is EHP5 in ECC all the Homepage framework, Areas, Sub areas, services are preconfigured for standard ESS MSS business areas.
In Portal side under Portal content - Content Provided by SAP - End User Content - Employee Self Services -
we are not able to preview any of the iViews. can anyone suggest whether what may be wrong...?

Hi Sandeep,
1. Yes we are accessing portal through FQDN
2. IE 6.0
3. I mentioned above, its SAP Netweaver 7.02 with SP8
4. Yes, the user I am using has Super Administrator role
5. There are roles for ESS in ECC
This problem of preview is for other iViews also. I mean other than ESS MSS iViews.
Thanks,
Kalam.

Custom ESS/MSS iview question

Hi all,
The requirement is to create a custom ESS/MSS iview under one of the worksets in portal. For example I am creating a custom Beneifts iview under the Benefits workset.
I have to get the user personnel number to get the corresponding data in the WD application that i am creating. Where do i get this value from?
My assumption: It is stored as a global variable in a different WD component and i have to reuse the component in my new application to get the corresponding variable
I have tried my best to make the question clear. let me know if this needs to be more clear.
Thanks in advance,
Reddy

Hi Reddy,
There might be some portal events raised when a employee is selected. You should subscribe this event in your custom component and work on.
I do not know if the following information useful for you.
SAP note -- https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1112733 -- with Portal Eventing code to subscribe:
subscribe_to_event("urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch",
EVENT = "selection_changed".

Modifying ESS/MSS iViews

Hi,
Can someone please guide me to how I can modify standard ESS/MSS iViews, for example, to remove unwanted UI elements etc. The portal version is EP6. Also, I understand that with EP7 most iViews are Web Dynpro Java/ABAP, can these be modified also? Is there any docs or how to guides which will show me how to do this? Are there any Weblogs out there that anyone knows of? I've been searching and searching but have had no such luck thus far. All help will be very appreciated.
Thanks
Tony.

The "cookbook" for ESS is available via service.sap.com (the specific OSS note is attached too can be found with a search on here....sorry, don't know it right off). The cookbook does apply for EP6 and ESS ECC5.0. Basicaly, it steps you through setting up NWDI(JDI), creating your "project", pulling the needed Webdynpro into your NW Dev Studio, modifying it and re-deploying to NWDI and onto the portal.
An even better way....there is an online class available from SAP (it is part of the ERP2004 training) that covers ESS/MSS in-depth as well as modifying the files. The entire course (of which ESS/MSS is a small part) is $500 USD last time I checked....well worth it.
The new ESS/MSS/self-service WebDynpros are based on the Floor Plan Manager framework which can be tricky to understand....the class above helps cover that too...has material I have found no where else but in the class.
Hope this helps.

How to modify ESS/MSS iviews without NWDI

Hi Everybody,
The last couple of day's I have been searching the forums to find an answer to the above mentioned question. Is there a way to modify the ess/mss iviews without NWDI?
I have tried allmost anything I could think off... Unzip the files and import the files manualy into nwds etc...
After while I saw a posting that SCA files could be imported in the latest version of NWDS, I was able to import the SCA files of SAP into NWDS 7.1, but I am not able to create a project out of them. Probably this will also lead to issues when uploading the newly build sca files into portal 7.0.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Xander

Hi Xander,
Some time ago I had the same question as you and as you I tried several things to load the SCA file to NWDS but after several tests it was loaded but without the screens.
I was able to create the project but it was missing many things when I tried to compile the project, the reason for this is that the ESS Package has a dependency in other SC as specified in the SAP Note 872892 - JDI/NWDI Cookbook for ESS/XSS (NWDI.zip File).
When you have all the dependencies (SCA files) it is a bout 700 MB which is a lot to load locally and figuring out exactly what you need will take a long time so at the end I could not use any trick to avoid the use NWDI as I only had to do 1 change to 1 DC ess/ca/padata so installing NWDI was an overhead for that only change, but at the end I have to do it.
I found the same posting as you and it seems NWDI 7.1 has the feature to do exactly what we needed.
But if you want to modify just the iviews as you are mentioning in your post you can do this straight in EP Content after copying your own content from the SAP standard content to do your modifications.
Best regards,
Juan Jose

Missing MSS iViews in Federated Portal Network

Hello, portal gurus, we have a FPN related issue that hope some of you can help.
We have two portal systems that we set up as a Federated Portal
Network. One producer portal, verision is 7.0, SP11, and one
consumer portal, version is 7.0 SP13. We installed the ESS and MSS business
packages in the producer portal. Those business packages came with the SAP NetWeaver
2005 installation, and they are working ok on the producer portal.
In addition, we were able to do the remote role assignment in the
consumer portal successfully. The problem is that some of the MSS
links and iViews that are shown up ok in the producer portal are missing from the consumer portal.
Have anyone experienced the same issue? Is it because the dismatch of the SP level causing the issue? Are there any fixes to this issu?
Thanks a lot for any input!
Jane

Hi Jane,
PCD content and KM content are two different things and they have different transport mechanism.
If you want to transport PCD content to another portal go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Export. In PCD tree in any place create transport package and add to it objects which you need (folders, roles, worksets, iviews and so on) and save transport package file localy on your computer or server. After that go to the system where you want to locate your content. Go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Import If you save tranport file localy on your computer chose client and upload tranport file.
KM transport very clear describe here How to Export KM Contents by ICE protocol using Offline Channel Beside this way you can transport KM content use program Portal Drive (very useful program especially when you need quickly transport some KM files from one portal to another).

Dmitriy
