i don't know about those topics
can any one suggest
1.what is ESS & MSS?
2.What should be the roles and responsibilities
3.can anyone suggest best and easy material to understand very well.
thanks in advance,

Hi karunakar,
If you are talking about webdynpro side then
SAP has provide standard ESS/MSS application for customer
As a webdynpro consultant role would be to modify standard application as of customer requirement
Application in ESS are Travel Expense, Leave Request, Employee Detail etc
As of project and customer requirement you are suppose to modify standard or else you may get some new requirement which you need to define from scrach.

  • Urgent -Confirmation screen links in ESS in Webdynpro -ABAP

    Hi,
    This is very urgent. I am doing one custome service in ESS in WEBDYNPRO ABAP.
    In my custome service, I need to put ESS Links in confirmation page .
    as GO TO ESS Home page
        GO PERSONAL INFORMATION HOME PAGE
        GO TO WORKLOCATION DETAILS
    For this i created URL links but this is not working fine.
    Can you provide any setting needs to be done in Webdynpro abap to place these confirmation links.

    Hi Chidipotu,
    You can consider:
    1. Using portal eventing (object based navigation/absolute/relative navigation) as this appears (to me) as you want to navigate to entirely different i-Views.
    2. If you are not portal integrated, you can consider placing LinktoAction UI elements in whose action handlers you can fire custom (outbound) plugs to load different views.
    HTH,
    Adithya
    PS:
    IMO you can consider leaving out the "urgent" in the subject next time round, as the average response time on SDN is less than 30 mins anyway! (and has a miniscule probability of changing with such intended psychological expeditors!!)

  • Webdynpro ABAP with ESS

    Hi Experts,
                   Is there ESS in WEBDYNPRO ABAP?            
    Thanks & regards

    Hi,
    Logon to portal, Content Administration->Portal Content and by right clicking, select New iView. In the "Template Selection" select SAP Web Dynpro iView.
    In the 2nd step, give the name and id of the iView.
    In the 3rd step you have the option to select either 'Java' or 'ABAP'. In your case select ABAP.
    In the 4th step, select the System and supply namespace and application name of your Web Dynpro ABAP Application. Click and Next->Finish. Now you will find the iView for your web dynpro ABAP application.
    Go through the below link.

    We have General Data webdynpro screen having some fields, same screen framework is using for Travel Request creation, expense creation, in some other screens. Now I would like to add some more fields in the screen for Travel request creation.
    I need some parameter to differ which screen it is.

  • Integration of webdynpro abap custom iview into standard ESS/MSS portal

    Hello all,
    Could anybody please throw light on how to integrate custom iview which is developed in Webdynpro ABAP into standard tab in MSS (Webdynpro java)
    For example.I want to add few custom fields(which are mapped to infotype 0041) into general information link of MSS.these fields will be created in webdynpro abap.
    or.
    I want to create a new link under general information which pops up as a custom iview (which is create in webdynpro abap) .
    please let me know how can i meet the above requirements.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not really sure about your requirement. With my limited understanding of that , i think that you have few possibilities.
    1. You can let the ess/mss application communicate with WDA application via a Poral event.
    2. You can enhance the ESS WDJ component and use RFC destination to get the data from info type and build your own view in WDJ.

  • ESS/MSS custom services or modify standard service with WebDynpro Abap

    Hi all,
    what's the procedure to modify standard ESS/MSS or create new service with WebDynpro Abap.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    First, The ISR Scenarios are not for iviews. They are just a part of a view. We can use webdynpro ABAP with the ISR Scenarios. We need to embed these forms into our webdynpro ABAP views and code accorsdigly to get the data. There are some standard components that are provided by SAP to handle ISR Forms with Webdynpro. Check these.

    Hi
    For WebDynpro application in iView there is a property to set Parameter for WebDynpro application.
    Handel these passed parameters in Default plug of Interface Controller.
    Note string passed as parameter in iview is case sensitive.

  • ESS MSS Travel & Expenses Customization in WebDynpro Abap

    Hi Friends,
    I have a requirement to customize the Travel & Expenses module in WebDynpro Abap. Please let me know the standard package (whcih contains webdynpro component) in WebDynpro Abap for this.
    And give me some documents which contains steps to customize the standard screens.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Lakshmi Prasad.

    The forum just died on me and my post was discarded, so here's the short form:
    Packages: PTRM_WEB_UI, PTRM_WEB_POWL.
    My advice: Don't narrow this down on packages, there are numerous used Components in numerous packages you'll inevitably find whilst forward-navigating the the respective Views of the Applications you want to use/configure.
    Customizing: Sorry, nothing specific here. The IMG documentation was sufficient for me.
    Enhancements: Here's a link I found to be useful. Maybe you'll come across Enhancing some Applications as well:

  • My Trips and Expenses - Webdynpro ABAP - Change Copy Delete button links

    Hello All,
    We are using ESS and MSS applications in our scenario. We are using EHP4 version of ECC6.0.
    I have configured my homepage framework with custom entries in SAP (resources, services, ... ) and custom Portal content (iviews, pages, ...  copied from SAP delivered stuff ). I have a very good understanding of this and I have no issues with the portal navigation and tying my custom homepage framework entries to the custom PCD locations.
    The only problem I have is with the Webdynpro ABAP application for "My Trips and Expenses". I can get to this application without any problem.
    Within the My Tirps and Expenses application, there are buttons for Displaying, Changing, Copying and Deleting existing Travel Trip Requests and Expense Reports. When I click on any of these buttons, the corresponding page/iview from the standard SAP ESS role is being launched. I would like to point these buttons to my custom page/iview from my custom role.
    I did not find any place where I can make this setting. I am not sure how the Service IDs for the standard SAP services are being linked to the application.
    I hope some one might have looked into this and any input would be really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    I figured this out.
    This application makes use of Object Based Navigation and if you adjust the roles assigned to the user accordingly, this will automatically pick up the custom pages form the custom role.
    Thanks,
    Raj

  • WebDynPro ABAP in adobe flex client

    > Good to know. That kinda sounds as if the webdynpro app itself will not have to be modified at all. Does this apply to CE webdynpro only or will be NW7.0 webdynpro apps supported the same way? How's the xBCML code generated? Will the CE be an requirement?
    That is correct - the apps do not have to be modified in any way.  Web Dynpro was designed years ago with this kind of future in mind.  The application rendering is separated in layers. One of those layers is the UI rendering itself.  It was strickly designed so that we could "plug-in" new rendering engines over time. 
    So what technically happens is nice bit of OO magic.  There are multiple implementations of each UI elment rendering class, but they all have the same interface.  That way the rendering engine can determine what kind of client it is building the UI for at runtime and substitute a different rendering engine by calling the correct subclass.  The first rendering engine that SAP supplied for Web Dynpro is what is called the Unified Renderer.  This is what produces the HTML and JavaScript UI that we run today in the browser.  In NW 7.0 EnhP1 ABAP and NW 7.1 CE EnhP1 we have actually rewritten this Unified Renderer completely - improving performance and adding in more AJAX functionality.  So this same plug-in rendering technology can be used to seemlessly overhaul the HTML renderer as well. 
    With this plug-in rendering technology we were able to build an XML based renderer.  This XML formatted output is what we call xBCML (Extensible Business Client Markup Language).  Actually if you compare the two rendering engines it is much easier to build an XML description of the UI then it is to build HTML/JavaScript. This nice, neutral XML description of the UI elements and their properties can then be sent to the client machine over HTTP/HTTPS and interpreted by different technologies.  We use this same XML format within a Flex, Silverlight, and .Net Client Renderer.  This is how SAP has built the Flex Client, Flash Islands, Silverlight Islands, and the NetWeaver Business Client Smart Client Renderer.
    On the ABAP side of the house for Web Dynpro we are bringing all of this new rendering technology to the 7.0 release via Enhancement Packages.  The dependency of the Business Suite to run on top of NetWeaver 7.0 is a pretty much a driving factor to make sure that new Web Dynpro technology for ABAP must make it into the 7.0 code line to be effective.
    The Java side is less clear.  We have really focused future enhancements to Java Web Dynpro within the 7.1 CE codeline.  Our current plans are to deliver this functionality to WD Java via CE  (some of it is already there in CE 7.1 and some will come later with CE 7.1 EnhP1). I would be a little suprised to see a backport effort to 7.0 Java given the focus on CE.  I realize that this leaves ESS/MSS in a strange location - so if there was customer demand around that application it might be the only thing to lead to a selective backport - but I certainly can't confirm that this will happen.

  • Webdynpro ABAP not working from internet

    Hello,
    I´m new at webdynpro and portal...
    We have a ess portal with webdynpro abap and java. Our employees may access it from intranet and all works fine, and from internet when they are in the outside.
    From internet the webdynpro abap gives the message that the server cannot be reached. The server is our production backend and is not open to the exterior.
    Is there a way to make this work, from inside and outside?
    Teresa

    Yes sure,
      so you have to set the parameter wdisp/add_clientprotocol_header = 1 in the web dispatcher profile.
      Good references are:

  • Is WebDynpro ABAP a viable option?

    Hi all
    Some generic questions, is WebDynpro ABAP a viable option? Can I suggest it to the customers? Is it a good practice to have UI and Business logic on the same server? Y are two strains of webdynpro one for ABAP and one for Java necessary?
    I have also heard ESS MSS runs on both ABAP and Java WebDynpro. Y is SAP complicating the skillset required to deal with Business Packages? Please give me links or direct answers as suitable. Thank you all.

    Hi Volker
    All that I have written is based on help.sap.com. And here is the link (Go to WDJ in Travel manangement and look at constraints).
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/46/51f0e994b85e40e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm">ECC 7.0 WDA</a>
    And yes you are right, ECC 6.00 is enhanced using EHPs -> enhancement package. I am talking abt EHP 2.
    I am using CAF on NW 7.0 and hence the concern. And when I say composite my UI is essentially calling faceless services. That alone gives me the power to orchestrate processes quickly. The only reason I put these questions is because the same are coming out of my customers too!! And I need to give a concrete answer on the UI paradigm as well. Though I have made up my mind the future releases of ESS MSS is troubling to hear. Thank you for the patience shown in answering my questions.

  • New ESS/MSS in ABAP web dynpro??

    I heard from a somebody that the new ESS/MSS is going to be redeveloped by SAP on ABAP Web dynpro instead of java? Does anybody have info on this? or any links on articles, news etc.?

    You need to replace the T&E portal content and Homepage Framework config (if using it) for the "older" Webdynpro Java version with the newer (EhP2) Webdynpro ABAP version. There is a very good step-by-step guide (I believe in Service Marketplace) that guides you through each and every change to make to switch one with the other. To your immediate questions...
    (1) Those are the replacements for the WDJ iViews. They are pretty much the same. As said, you need to "switch them out".
    (2) Switch out the WDJ iView with  the WDA iView. The parameter needs to reflect YOUR ESS ROLE pcd path to the object. (the one you show is the standard SAP ESS role....which is fine if you are just using it as is).
    Again, best to find that guide. I used it on my last project and it took all of maybe 30 min. to switch the old for new if you follow it.
    Also, read all the help.sap.com info on it....

  • Modification in standard webdynpro abap application

    Hi
    In my portal for some of my ESS applications are used in webdynpro abap for example travel expense and travel request now i have a requirement like i have to make the create travel expense button disable based on the condition llike i only he has to click create travel expense after creating travel request .So can anybody let us know how to do modofications in the standard webdynpro abap application.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    For making changes in the standard web dynpro compoenent, you need to create and implement enhancement.
    For this you can find many links in SDN  on how to create enhancement.
    Now coming to your specific requirement.
    Here what you can do is open the standard component.
    1. press ctrl +F4, It will open a popup there give some name to your enhancement.and desicrption . then press Enter.
         Assign it to teh package you want.
    2. Go to the view where you want to disable the button, There go to the layout and find the ID of the button. say it is 'BTN'.
    3. Now go to methods tab, scroll right and selct post exit method of wddomodifyview emthod.
    4. there write the code with the condition you want.
    if  flag  eq 'yes'.
    data  lv_btn type ref to cl_wd_button.
    lv_btn ?= view->get_element( 'BTN' ).
    lv_btn->set_enabled( abap_false ).
    endif.
    5. one last thing is you can create a attribute named flag of type string and set its value to 'yes' when you want the button to enable.
    Thanks

  • Portal Workprotect in Talent Profile - WebDynpro ABAP FPM application

    We are trying to implement Workprotect in ESS - Talent Profile application (HRTMC_EMPLOYEE_PROFILE). The requirement is that when user had entered data in either Internal work experience, External Work experience or other tabs; before he has saved the data, if the user clicks on some other link in portal or try to close the window, Portal work protect that is enabled should prompt the user to save the data or risk losing data.
    What has been done so far:
    1. Enabled Workprotect on Portal:
    Step 1: In the portal, go to System Administration -> System
    Configuration -> Service Configuration.
    Step 2: In the portal catalog, Select
    application "com.sap.portal.epcf.loader" and open the properties for
    service "epcfloader" for editing
    Step 3: Set property workprotect.mode.default = 3
    Step 4: Save -> Restart service
    Now, Portal Work protect is enabled.
    2. On the Talent application end, I have seen many posts in forum & FPM related workprotect documentation. But, it is not clear as to how this actually works when it comes to FPM application.
    The documents says FPM allows application to make use of work protect
    mode offered by Portal. To achieve this, the application must u2018tellu2019 the
    FPM whether it contains unsaved
    (u201Cdirtyu201D) data. For this, the FPM provides the Web Dynpro Interface
    IF_FPM_WORK_PROTECTION. In the is dirty method, you have to put
    METHOD is_dirty.
    if * component contains unsaved data
    ev_dirty = abap_true.
    else.
    ev_dirty = abap_false.
    endif.
    ENDMETHOD.
    Questions:
    1. If you see the shared application component HRTMC_TP_SHARED_DATA, it implements interface IF_FPM_WORK_PROTECTION. But, the isdirty method in the component controller has already existing code
    METHOD is_dirty.
    ev_dirty = wd_this->mv_is_dirty.
    ENDMETHOD.
    Where should we put the code given below as described in FPM documentation. In shared component or in individual components like HRTMC_TP_WORKEXP_INTERNAL, HRTMC_WORKEXP_INTERNAL, HRTMC_TP_EDUCATION
    etc.
    METHOD is_dirty.
    if * component contains unsaved data
    ev_dirty = abap_true.
    else.
    ev_dirty = abap_false.
    endif.
    ENDMETHOD.
    And, the line "* component contains unsaved data" as described in document- how do we code this for talent profile considering that there are multiple components, shared component etc? My requirement is that if user has entered some data in any of the tabs like internal work experience, external work experience, then work protect should work if
    user tries to navigate away or close browser.
    2. If you see general documentation for Work protect and webdynpro (not for FPM), it says that the application must define a special status (dirty flag), which tells the portal when there is unsaved data. You can set and cancel this status (TRUE, FALSE) using method
    SET_APPLICATION_DIRTY_FLAG in interface IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION.
    And it goes on to say that one must set application flag dirty
    SET_APPLICATION_DIRTY_FLAG
    exporting
    DIRTY_FLAG = TRUE | FALSE
    and also set work protect mode
    call method L_PORTAL_MANAGER->SET_WORK_PROTECT_MODE
    exporting
    MODE = NONE | APPLICATION_ONLY | BOTH
    3. Which is the correct way to enable Work protect in case of Talent profile applications? Which method of which component should should we add code to? Which of the above ways should we follow ( Interface IF_FPM_WORK_PROTECTION or IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION) ? Which component and which method should we Set Work protect and  Set isdirty
    Please advise.

    Hi Experts,
    Can you please provide some useful info in implementing work protect in Standard FPM WebDynpro ABAP applications? In this case, as mentioned above, the application is  ESS Talent Profile application (HRTMC_EMPLOYEE_PROFILE).
    Thanks,
    Sandeep
