ESS in NWBC instead of Portal

Hello,
Is it possible to run ESS on Netweaver Bussiness Client but without an EP? I think the answer is no, but I want to be sure.
Thanks!

No you cant use NWBC with ESS below EHP5, Till EHP4 EP is required! Read below more on these

ESS in NWBC or ESS in SAP-Portal

Dear experts.
I am begin with the configuration for ESS & MSS and I have the following doubt:
1. What roles should I use if use ESS in NWBC?
2. What roles should I use if use ESS in SAP Portal?
With this two option , What is the better option for work ESS? And who should define what option use (Basis)?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi Juan
we can Use T-code LPD_CUST & PFCG based on the scenarios, you can use SAP_ESS_EMPLOYEE_WDA_2 Composite Role from PFCG.
Having EP is a benefit for using WDA & WDJ services, but if you go for NWBC you only have a provision to use WDA. if you are in EHP 5 then few services are still in Java & its not suggested much to use NWBC. For NWBC we don't need to buy any licenses as it comes by default. only thing we need to do is to activate the appropriate Business Functions.

How to display ESS/MSS in different NW Portal

Hello Experts,
We are running ESS/MSS on a NW 6.0 portal. Now, we have a requirement to also display this ESS/MSS content on another portal which is running on NW 7.01 (we do not wish to install ESS/MSS on this server).
What is the best way to accomplish this? Could you please give me some advise and links to articles or blogs on the web that has step by step instructions? I searched around, but was unable to find anything related to this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

According to SAP's FPN's prerequisites and Version Interoperability guide
SAP NetWeaver consumer and producer portals should all be running SAP NetWeaver 7.0
SAPNetWeaver '04 is not supported.
Additional details: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/45/76322bf0020dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
In fact there are issues if multiple SPS on NW7 are used (for instace producer is SP09 and consumer is SP11). Note 1005176 talks about patching some of the components to fix the issue.
So, FPN is out of the question. Has anyone done it using the Portals' URL or appIntegrator iView?

TIME on ESS/MSS with the SAP Portal, release ERP2005 ECC6.

Hello,
I need to implement TIME (Leave request) on ESS/MSS with the SAP Portal, release ERP2005 ECC6.
Any informations about the customizing for a proof of concept would be appreciated.
All the back-end (R/3) as allready been customized.
Thanks for your responses.
Olivier

Hello,
If you already have all the templates and such configured then its easy. We don't have ESS and only one MSS scenario. However we support the web environment via BSP HAP_DOCUMENT. You can include our list pages in an Iview and assign that to the ESS or MSS scenario in the portal.
They also run stand alone, so you can test it as well without configuring the portal.
See also <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2007/02/20/objective-setting-appraisals-the-web-environment bloggy</a> on OSA and the web Environment, especially the last part will be of interest for you.

Field lables changes in ESS iView not reflected on portal

Hi All,
I am trying to customize the SAP ESS Address DC (webdynpro Java) for South Africa region as per the SAP OSS note (No: 1428933).
In order to incorporate the changes I have imported the ess/za/addr DC into NWDS. I have changed the label text as per the OSS note and deployed the DC but changes are not reflecting in the portal
I did some more test on Label text;
1. Removed the Label text property value from DC and deployed the application, when I run the application during runtime screen is not showing any label text message for the label since I made it to empty.
1. I added my custom text message to label text value instead of standard label text value and deployed the application, when I run the application during run time screen is automaticaly showing the standard label text value not my custom label text value.
I'm trying to figure out from where these field labels value are coming from? Theoretically it should reflect field lables whats given in webdynpro but thats not the case here.
From where Label field value is coming?. Help me out in this. Thanks,
Regards, Suresh KB

If you are just changing the field label the recommended approach is to do it through Web Dynpro UI personalisation. DO NOT user NWDI to change the source code just for field label change. The way you change through UI personalisation is locate the iView in portal content, and select preview of iView then use CTRL+RIGHT click mouse button on the field that you want to change the text, you will see properties of selected field in a popup window where you can change the default text. Once you change it, and apply the changes you will be able to verify you changes in the iView properties (additional properties will be automatically created for the change you made). Now check the personal data service under ESS role you should see the change.
Hope this helps

ESS application systems creation in Portal content area

Hi ESS experts,
I had struck up in the systems creation part of the ESS implementation in EP7, ECC6.
I have the ESS set up guide by Siddhartha Jain which is just short of details on how to set up the systems for system alias SAP_Webdynpro_XSS, ITS, and back end R/3 system creation in the system and how to test the connections.
Can any one give a detail guide on how to set up the various systems in the Portal content directory to that the Ess application can be launched in the portal?
I had deployed the BP as described in the guide (and guided by the forum members) and all my Jco connections are Green in color. I need to complete the system creation and user creation in the portal and launch the ESS applicaiton in portal.
(Set up the first system on the Portal J2EE server in which the business package has been implemented and assign the system the alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS.) Here is the step I need help!!!
Please help, and thanks in advance,
Regards

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for the immediate response.
Can you please guide me on the below statement?
>>>Then you need to specify the details of that system and various other properties
Assign the aliases and then test the connectivity. <<<
I do not know which are the system details and other properties that need to be defined to get the connection test passed. I am very new to portal and I need your advise and guidance.
Please help.
Thanks and regards

ESS with ERP2005 (without a Portal)

Hi,
in the moment we are using ESS with SAP Enterprise (4.7).
Now we are planning the Upgrade to ERP2005.
We have several customers who has outsourced their HR Processes to us. We maintain their ESS on our SAP Servers.
If we change to ERP2005 the problem is, that our customers have their own Portal which is often no SAP portal. The Portal is a very strategic IT part of our customers, so we have no access to the Portal. On the other hand our customers has no HR know-how to maintain the ESS om their own.
We heard about the internal ESS. May be this could be the solution in our situation. Where can we get more information about the internal ESS. Who has tested this software already.
Best regards
Thomas

Hi,
the internal ESS is nothing else than an EP 7.0 "in disguise". It is a regular java stack, portal 7.0 and the BP for ESS and MSS just in one install on the same machine than HCM.
It is of no difference if you are using a regular external Portal Scenario or an internal ESS.
Generally speaking, SAP will push the Portal. It is now more or less mandatory for ESS/MSS and BW - SRM will follow with the next release. Web Dynpro will be essential part of the GUI-Strategy and WD without portal makes not a lot of sense.
So, customers with a different portal will need to pursuit a "Dual Portal" strategy in future, because there will be no WD integration int other portals. SAP stated very clearly in internal discussions that customers with a different portal strategy will have serious integration problems.
What I recommend is using EP for integration of SAP and use KM with federated portals for "syndication", i.e. for content integration of other portals.
When you are a provider of services, that would be a good point to start as a service offering

Hi all gurus,
We have implemented Leave request, Travel request, PMS via ESS using standard SAP role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_3.

Calling GRC NWBC in SAP Portal

I have a requirement where current GRC users are required to use SAP Portal for GRC requests.
I tried to create URL iView calling NWBC but have been facing layout issues. Layout is very short and unable to change even if I use FULL PAGE layout.
I have already tried creating NWBC launch iView but it shows a blank screen along with NWBC screen.
Please guys help me out with this situation.
Please do remember that our Portal is on HTTP while NWBC is one HTTPS.

I'm trying to call GRC v10 NWBC with the help of "Launch NWBC" standard iView.
What currently happens is like the moment I click on the NWBC icon in the Portal, it opens a window within portal which BLANK and actually GRC screen (attached screenshot) and at the same time it opens another window that has NWBC and works absolutely fine.
If someway we can stop showing GRC main screen in the Portal which is blank. It will help me solve the problem.
