ESS-in-MSS / related activities

I have added a Webdynpro APAB application to the Related Activities link list under General Information. I need the link to work like the ones provided by SAP, so that the info of the selected employee is passed to the called application.
How is the id of chosen employee passed to WDA application in this case?

Yes, it's also possible with WDA, but i think additional knowledge is required...
Anyway... here there is a good example code:

  • Add custom WD ABAP application to MSS related activities

    Hi Experts,
    I try to add a custom WD ABAP application to the related activities of our managers. Please could you tell me exactly what I have to do to achieve this? I've found many threads on SDN about this topic but I was not able to implement a working solution. Here's what I've done so far :
    1. create a WDJ iView using the RelatedActivitiesLauncherApp application and Service ID Z_SERVICE (is this the id of the service we create at step 3 or the name of the ICF service corresponding to my WDA app? what should I put in the object name field?)
    2. create a new resource Z_RESOURCE with URL of PCD page = id of iView created at step 1 (which format should I use : "pcd:portal_content..." or something like "ROLES://portal_content..." ?)
    3. create a new service Z_SERVICE (same id used at step 1) and indicates service type = WD ABAP and resource = Z_RESOURCE (created at step 2)
    4. assign service Z_SERVICE to subarea MSS_HCM_SUB_RELATEDACTIVITY_ESS
    I'm able to see the new link in the related activities but my WDA app is not launched when I click on it.
    Regards,
    Pierre

    Well, here's a quote from another thread (MSS - General Information - Related Activities Links persnr.) :
    Hello Joeri,
    to integrate a WDA application into the related links area you have to perform the following tasks:
    1.) The Service called from the related links area has to be a service/iview based on the WDJ application "sap.com/mss~hras/RelatedActivitiesLauncherApp". This iview has a property in category "Self Services" named "Service-ID". Here you pass the Homepage Framework Service ID from your custom WDA application.
    2.) Your WDA application needs to retrieve the pernr the WDJ Starter application "sap.com/mss~hras/RelatedActivitiesLauncherApp" has stored in the ABAP memory in your Backend. You do this with the Functionmodules from Functionmodulegroup "HRASR00_WDA_SET_GET_DATA". The Pernr Memory Id is "MSS01" if i remember right.
    Thats it. I hope it does help.
    Anyway... I've created a Web Dynpo Abap iView as you suggested and everything works fine. Now I just have to find a way to find out which employee is selected in my WDA app.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Pierre

  • Record working Time link in General Related Activities iView

    Hello Gurus,
        In the MSS Related Activities iView we have a link to navigate to Record Working TIme iView, but when I click on that link it is pointing to the production portal but I am testing in the development environment.
       So please any one help he me out whether do we have to maintain any URL.
       When I click Timesheet I can see the list of employees in employee search area and information in general section but when I click on the record working time link in the related activities area portal redirects me to the production portal URL and displays the production portal login screen. Please help me out in resolving the issue.

    Hmm this is interesting. Guess that's reason even when i am trying to call pdc location of iview  "Record Working Time" it is unable to load fpm application based changes and some of personalizations.
    Wondering if there is any way to generate or find absolute path to run these application, as they are running on Portal(it works just fine when i launch from my ESS role).
    http watch was not great help..
    Cheers,

  • MSS Team Calendar and ESS in MSS

    Hi OADP and MSS experts,
    My client organization is implementing ESS (Basic personal information and leave request services) and MSS (leave approvals and team calendar). Partly the organization has a line manager (A012) relationship who would approve the leave request in MSS (which is fine using SAP standard). Other than line manager relationship, they also have Absence Coordinators who approve the leave request where there are no line manager relationship.
    I would like to get your views on the following-
    1. Is it possible to use standard OM relationship 'S' A/B 290 is administrator of 'O' for Absence Coordinators and configure OADP to get the views in the MSS team calendar.
    2. also the absence coordinators - can they submit leave request (ESS in MSS - related activity for Leave request) on behalf of employees based on the above relationship (A/B 290) .Please note that they will not have chief position assignment
    If this can be achieved by OADP configuration I would appreciate any help with configuration documentation.
    Looking forward to get your opinions and suggestions please.
    Many thanks,
    Terence

    Here is the paths
    V_TWPC_ORGVWGRP > MSS_TMV_EE
    Check the IMG step
    Integration with Other mySAP.com Components -> Business Packages/Functional Packages -> Object and Data Provider -> Organizational Structure Views -> Group Organizational Structure views
    MSS_TMV_EE is assigned to MSS_TMV_EE_ORG2 etc etc
    And then
    These organizational views are defined in IMG step u2026u201Ddefine Organizational Structure viewsu201D:
    They have the following Object selections:
    MSS_TMV_EE_ORG2
    Organizational View             MSS_TMV_EE_ORG2 Employees from Organizational Structure
    Object Selection               MSS_TMV_EE_ORG2 Employees in Org.Structure Up to Level 2
    Group of Data Views            MSS_TMV_EE      Display
    Then you have to check the IMG step u2026 Object and Data Provider -> Object Provider -> Define Object selections:
    Object Selection     MSS_TMV_EE_ORG2 Employees in Org.Structure Up to Level 2
       Rule for Root Objects          MSS_TMV_RULE1   Managed Organizational Units
       Rules for Navigation Objects   MSS_TMV_RULE3   Organizational Structure Up to Level
       Rule for Target Objects        MSS_TMV_RULE4   Employees of an Organizational Unit
    Then you can check the rules for object selection: IMG u2026Object provider -> define Rules for Object selection
    Object Selection Rule          MSS_TMV_RULE1   Managed Organizational Units
    Evaluation Path               SAP_MANG Org. units managed by persons or users >>> got from t77aw
    Depth of Structure
    Function Module
    Other examples

  • Error in self service for my employee - Related Activities in MSS

    Hi,
    NW2004s SP9  EP7.0 ECC 6.0
    we are trying to implement the self service for my employee in related activites functinality from the general information of team workset ( Team --> General informatio --> Related activities --> Self service for my employee ) in MSS which is a replicaiton of ESS in MSS functionality from the previous versions.
    When
    I click on any of the options like Personal data or Addresses it gives me a blank page with no information on it. (It does give a DONE message with error/warning message on the status bar of Internet explorer. The error message says getactivetrackingEntryValue() is null)
    Do I need to do anything to get this page working. I do not see any config related to this.
    Appreciate any inputs.
    regards
    sam

    James,
    I think the note refers to note been able to display the general infromation iView itself. I have implemented the note and am able to see the genral information iView. My issue is I am not able to perform "Self service for my employees" in "related activities" iView.
    Thank for you reply and correct me if I am wrong.
    Sanjay, I have raised the issue with SAP, in the mean while if you can please let me know the patches or a list of them that are requried thyat would be awesome. Sorry for asking you this, but the basis team here asks to tell them what is requried even though I do not have sufficient authorizations to check them.
    Appreciate you help on the same.
    regards

  • MSS - General Information - authorisations with Related Activities Links -

    Hello,
    We implemented related activities links on the MSS portal. We can see the links, but when we click on it, nothing happens, the iview (JAVA dynpro) is not executed.
    I checked the monitoring, and I noticed an authorisation problem with this service : sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation.
    It's been few days I am looking for where add this authorisation... could you help me ?
    Thank you.
    Nick

    Can you paste the exact error trace from Monitoring....
    However, required authorizations could be given at :
    System Administration -> Permissions ->
    and then below path in PCD
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/srvconfig
    I think exact is
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/srvconfig/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.mss/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.eepro/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.fpmapplications/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.GeneralInformation
    However there could be an authorization problem with R/3 end.....
    So please add informative part from Monitoring to this thread....

  • ESS for MSS/MSS related activitities - integrating travel (WD Abap)?

    Hi,
    We've just made the switch from Web Dynpro for Java to WDp for ABAP in our travel services in the portal (Enhancement package 2 for ERP 6.0, FIN_TRAVEL_1).
    The services in ESS itself seems to work fine, but we're also planning to introduce the "ESS in MSS-usage scenario". This works as it should
    when calling the java-applications, but we're having problems finding out how to integrate the ABAP-applications in this scenario. Does anyone know if this is supported (if not, when?), and if so, what application parameters are to be used? I can NOT find this covered in the documentation nor in notes.
    I created an OSS-message on this, but after having spent two weeks telling them that WD Java was in fact both supported and the standard delivery for "Related Activity", that message just concluded with them not being able to tell me anything...
    Thanks!
    Sten Erik

    Good Afteernoon.
    But the system not display the services in the page of area.
    We copy the folder in the portal of Employee Self Service.
    Kind Regards.

  • ESS & MSS related authorizations details..

    Can someone help on whether ESS/MSS authorisation has something specific to be done other tan the pfcg in R/3. Could you give me more details on how is ESS/MSS authorizations are handled.. Is there any stand guide available which guides on setting this up.
    Thanks,
    Chetan Hinduja

    Hi Chetan,
    Among the deployed content of ESS and MSS in the Portal, you'll probably find roles in it that should be assigned to the users which are going to access those services.
    Assigning these roles to the Portal users and the R/3 roles in PFCG should be enough.
    Kind Regards,

  • Is the ABAP Webdynpro CATS available in both ESS and MSS?

    Hi experts,
    We are in the process of implementing the WDA CATS application for ESS (ECC 6 EHP5) but our scenario is actually for managers to enter in time in CATS on behalf of their employees. I can't find any information on this scenario using the WDA CATS. I have linked the application to the related activities iView in MSS but it seems to be launching the CATS application for the manager instead of the employee.
    The standard MSS role (1.5) seems to launch the Java CATS when doing it on behalf of an employee. I just want to find out if it's possible to use the WDA CATS application for on behalf scenarios as it used to be with the Java CATS?
    Thanks!!
    Jo

    Hey Jo
    how are you? here goes some background info on cats and ess/mss:
    In ehp5 - ess there are 5 application configurations delivered by sap in wd-abap one of which is the approval view for managers its called  hrmss_ac_cats_approval. the remaining 4 configs are for employees to enter cats data.
    Now the point of issue is the 'ess in mss' or 'on behalf of' functionality....
    MSS at ehp5 cats is still on wd-java I guess,... I am not 100% sure so what needs to be done holistically is:
    1. Select one of the employee cats appication configurations.
    2. include it into the mss-related activity space.
    3. now this has a known issue: passing of the employee number from within wd-java to wd-abap application sap has a couple of notes for them --> 1577099 & 1578965 chk them out....
    4. what those notes say is you can put in any wd-abap service into related activity space which is still wd-java,... and get the manager to book time on behalf of employees...
    I have personally not done the above yet,... but I did some r&d last year on the above......
    ahh before I forget you may want to chk out the note 1513325
    finally to be able to call the employee cats service in related activities could mean you have to:
    1. create an iview of type wd-abap caling the ess-cats wda service.
    2. include it within the related activities wdj page...
    3. have the aforementioned notes applied..
    4. ready to go...
    tell me if this worked for you or not. if it does you owe me a coffee.
    cheers
    shree.

  • WD ABAP Iviews under Related Activities

    Hi,
    I am trying to include standard WD ABAP Iview under ESS in MSS under Team Workset. However it is not working the same way as WD Java Iviews does. Instaed of picking selected Employee's page, it is displaying Manager's page. I have also maintained PCD which starts with EXROLES. Still it is not working. I have been trying for Travel Request WD ABAP Iview.
    So could anybody please let me know as to how to resolve this.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In order to retrieve the selected pernr, you have to create a Web Dynpro Java iView, a resource and a service as explained in this topic : MSS - General Information - Related Activities Links persnr.
    1. create a Web Dynpro Java iView using the mss~hras RelatedActivitiesLauncherApp application then open the iView and indicate the name of the service corresponding to your Web Dynpro Abap application.
    2. create a new resource and indicate the id of the Web Dynpro Java iView (ROLES://portal_content...) in the URL of PCD page field
    3. create a new service (service type Web Dynpro Java) and link it to the resource you just created
    4. assign the new service to the subarea

Thank you very much.
