Probably a simple answer; centered links with floating link descriptions, both left and right of the links?

Attatched is an image of the requested result. I'm new to Dw so this might be an easy bit of code, but with research I haven't been able to find an answer.
Ideally, the numbers in the middle are links (centered on the page); and the text is a description of the link which floats to either side of the links, but is not necessarily centered; nor linked.
I would really appreciate the help of someone more knowledgeable. Thanks in advance.
The code I'm working on follows the image.

hey marty,
Perhaps this updated code will help clarify. I want the links to be centered on the page. But the link descriptions to float to either side? Does that make sense?

How to enable ESS link in portal

I need the enable ESS link or provide access permission of ESS in my portal.what can i do for that.can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
S.Ramesh

Hi RK,
I will try to sum up as much as I can and limit to repeat whats already mentioned above (as they are whats needed in certain steps of implementing ESS).
1) Go to the SAP MarketPlace and via there, you can proceed to SAP PC (or use this https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio).
There are 3 BP for ESS, choose the BP with suit your EP and backend system. Click on the text and you can see the below:
a) Primary Backend System
b) Portal Release
c) iView Runtime Technology
To see your EP version, goto http://<host>:<port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo. There you'll find something like sap.com/SAP-JEE 7.00 SPxx, this means, you're on Netweaver 7.00 (formerly 2004s), otherwise you'll see 6.40 (that's Netweaver 2004).
2) Deploy the selected BP
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/44/fa068634000c4be10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
3) After deploying the BP, you have to maintain the JCo's for ESS to access your backend system which host your HR.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/8c/cb3042366c0521e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
4) In the backend system which host your HR, you have to setup the necessary ESS authorizations. ESS backend are normally to assign SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP role to employee which is composite role, which contain following roles:
SAP_BC_EMPLOYEE
SAP_BC_ENDUSER
SAP_ESSUSER_ERP
SAP_HR_EMPLOYEE_DE_ERP
SAP_HR_EMPLOYEE_US_ERP
SAP_HR_PA_XF_EXPERT
You can duplicate or maintain the authorization objects for the above mentioned roles (base on what you want them to execute) using PFCG, generate the profiles and complete the user compare.
In summary, your setup Portal for your ESS users to display what they can see via the ESS BP and you can customise what you want them to see (ESS BP provide standard ESS iviews, pages, workset and role but you can create your own page, workset or role and delta link the provided ESS iviews). From the backend system (HR), you set what your ESS users can do via authorisation roles mentioned above. Once you have setup the above, your ESS users can start with their ESS activities.
P.S: As also mentioned above SSO is also a plus point for your users as then they will not have to login when they try to access ESS (backend system) via the Portal.
Hope that helps.

ESS service description on EP

Hi,
We are implemeting Webdynpro ESS in ERP2004. We have a requirement where we have to provide a hyperlink in a service description. I am using relevant IMG of homepage framework to insert the description but it only uploads text files. Is there a way to insert a service description with hyperlink?
Thank you.
Regards,
Abhijeet.

Ok....so just to follow you....
(1) Make a resource for the URL link (like for whatever URL the "Additional Info" is located...and you should already have one for your actual service (like Benefits Overview).
(2) Assign the resource to a service which should be the one to display the link ("Additional Info").
(3) Assign the service (and the service for Benefits Overview for example) to the <b>SAME</b> "subarea" with "Benefits Overview" given an order of say 10 and the "Additional Info" service given an order of 20...that makes them appear correctly (ie. stacked).
(4) Assign your subarea to an area (probably already done since it was there for the "Benefits Overview").
(5) Make sure your changes are moved to the right clients (since the config is client dependent) if in the same instance. For example, if you config in say client 030 but your data/unit test is from 035, log into client 035, run t-code SCC1 and pull over your transport from 030 (it's ok...you can do this as much as you want without releaseing the transport).
Now...you do NOT have to restart the portal. Your change will not show immediately, but that is ok. Have your portal admin go into "System Admin->Support->Portal Content Directory" and click the "administration" link towards the bottom...then click the "release cache" button. This will clear the cache and next time you access yourpages, they will reload with your new changes. Just that easy! =
Hope this helps.

Launchpad - ESS MENU - Descriptions not transporting to Quality client

Hello,
I have made some changes to the Launchpad role ESS, instance MENU. Our customization included some changes to the Link Text and Descriptions. I was able to translate the Link texts using APB_LPD_SHOW_TEXT_KEYS and transport them, however I am unable to get the Description (Customer Long Text) texts to transport. I'm not sure what step(s) I'm missing so could someone provide me with details on how to get this done?
Dev client
Quality client after translation and transport.
I've even attempted to force them into a transport using Program ID = LANG, Object type = DOCT, DOCV, using the keys seen in report APB_LPD_SHOW_TEXT_KEYS.
Regards,
Garrett Meredith

Hi Siddharth,
I'm a bit fuzzy on what your suggesting I do since I am unfamiliar with those transactions. I will cover it with our development team to see if it makes sense to them on what steps to do before I confirm.
Just as reference, I can see the text in the DOKTL in our Dev environment. If I pull up report APB_LPD_SHOW_TEXT_KEYS for ESS MENU I can see the Texts Keys and Text.
In our Q client, if I pull up the report, for ESS MENU, the Text keys are there, but the Text is not. Were the Text Key already there or did my transport put them there?
When you mention "activate the document *** in English in SE61" What do I put into the Name field? The Text key only gives me an error.
Kind Regards,
Garrett

ESS Fields Description:

Hi Experts,
I have customized the homepage framework. It is working fine till two days back. Now, whenever I am trying to access a service on portal, the description of each field, each button, and error messages are in non-English.
It is happening with the both Standard Role and Customized role. had anybody faced this before? why is this behavior all of a sudden? Could you suggest some check points or any helpful links?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you change any of the language settings like
Language of the user at the backend
JCO langauge etc..
This will affect the language used in the portal..check them.

How to display a KM document iView as ESS link

Hi Experts,
In my project we have already implemented ESS. As per a new requirement, I have stored a page in KM. I have created KM Document iView. In the project we are already having standard link for ESS --> Personal Information --> Personal Data. Right now this is pointing to a standard iView. I would like to call KM document iView when the user clicks on ESS --> Personal Information --> Personal Data. How we can do so? I tried changing the spro setting in following way
1) I have created iView. The PCD location is as below:
pcd:portal_content/com.aa.all.folder.sabic/com.aa.ep.folder.enterprise_portal/com.aa.portal.folder.iviews/com.aa.portal.folder.singapore_ess/com.sabic.portal.iview.aa.coming_soon
2) In the spro, I selected resource. I create a new resource called ZESS_SERV_COMING_SOON_SG
3) I set URL of Resource Object as
ROLES://portal_content/com.aa.all.folder.sabic/com.aa.ep.folder.enterprise_portal/com.aa.portal.folder.iviews/com.aa.portal.folder.singapore_ess/com.sabic.portal.iview.aa.coming_soon
4) In the spro, I selected the node 'Define Services' for standard link ESS --> Personal Information --> Personal Data. Here I changed the service type to 'Call a Portal Page (PCD)'. I also changed Linked Resource to ZESS_SERV_COMING_SOON_SG.
5) I logged off and again logged into Portal. However, I can not see the link altogether for ESS --> Personal Information --> Personal Data.
6) Please let me know what is wrong with my method.
Please help.
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi All,
Thanks for the help. The issue got resolved. I am writing the solution here for the benefit of SDN users
1) Create iView
2) Create Page
3) Attach page in the Role
4) Go to newly created resource. URL of PCD page should be filled up with the value. ROLE://.... path of page in the role.
Regards,
Gary

ESS Links not working

Hi All,
I have deployed the ESS 600 SP 11and PCUIGP 600 SP 11 on EP 7 SP 11 system with the backend as ECC 6.0.
Now I am getting the ESS overview and other pages with the links. But when I click on any link its not taking me anywhere.
To make the link navigate to the respective pages do I need to do any configurations? Please let me know.
Regards,
Purush.

For the third time now:
The SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP role is probably not GENERATED!
Transaction PFTC => enter the role. Go to roles, double click on all the roles. Go into change, and choose generate. The authorization tab page has to have a GREEN icon.
Than it should work. You should indeed not assign your users a SAP_ALL profile

You also need to make the changes in the backend configuration of the Homepage Framework. You could simply set those areas/services display number to 0 (zero) in the config. There are many more posts about this here....jsut search one "homepage framework" for more information.

Any ideas how this tooltip could be added in coulding?
Thank you

Hi,
    The spreadsheet icon is a normal table view. I was wrong in assuming that it was a tree view. For normal table views, you can make use of the index variable.
Data:lr_col type ref to if_bol_bo_col,
        lr_iterator type ref to if_bol_bo_col_iterator,
         lr_bo TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access.
lr_col ?= me->collection_wrapper.
lr_iterator ?= lr_col->get_iterator( ).
lr_bo ?= lr_iterator->get_by_index( iv_index = iv_index ).
lv_object_id = lr_bo->get_property_as_string( iv_attr_name = 'OBJECT_ID' ).

ESS link in Outlook express

Hi friends
My client wants when ever a workitem gets in the UWL a email has to notify that a workitem has come. I know that there is a report program RSWUWFML2 and configuration of this report with correct varient you can achieve it.
I have followed the following link
Link: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/abap/workitemintimationintheemail]
The link describes the SAP R/3 login screen. But i want Portal login screen. How to achieve it.
Regards
vijay

Are you on 4.7 or ECC 6.0 version ?
If you are on ECC 6.0, user SWNCONFIG configuration. In that you can specify link of the portal which is displayed in the email sent to the user whenever workitem arrives in the inbox.

Missing Area Description (long text) in ESS EhP5

Our company heavily uses the ESS Area Description (long text) to communicate FAQ's, tips, and other help information on ESS. We like how this information is directly visible to users on the area pages.
We are in the process of upgrading to EhP5 and it appears this field no longer exists in the new LaunchPad. Instead, is the intention to use the portal Help Center instead? I would like to get a definitive answer before I communicate back to the business of the change.
Thanks,
Scott

for that you would need quick help or help center

Yes you are right there is no additional informatiion on right hand side as in java based iviews
