ESS/MSS applications from ECC 6.0 on a SL as ECC 5.0 + EP7.0

Hi all,
We have a "strange" situation on the client and I need you help or guidance.
We are implementing Portal and ESS/MSS on a system landscape as ECC 5.0 for the back-end system and EP 7.0 as front-end.
My problem is if the ESS/MSS iViews which have the data source as ECC 6.0 or higher are available and if yes how their behavior will be on such environment? We should expect errors or bugs or lousing functionalities or restrictions on it?
Perhaps the first point will be if we can implement them? The client wants specific applications like time accounts or appraisals. I should mention to you the client has decided to make an upgrade of the back-end system to ECC 6.0 but is not decided yet when. In the meantime we already start the project for ESS/MSS base on the current system landscape.
What do you think?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Eugen

I got my answer. You may implement XSS applications as for ECC 5 even on EP 7 but you'll face limitations in functionalities and face lots of tech issues and abnormal behavior from xss applications. Not the ideal system landscape.

Customised Error Message for ESS-MSS Applications

Hello All,
Currently, if there are any errors in the ESS/MSS transactions, we get the 503 error with lot of irrelevant data to the users. We have a basic html page which says, "There is a issue-Please contact XXXX".
Is there a way to replace the standard error message with this html page ?
PS: I am not talkign about the "Dispatcher Running" or "Application Stopped" messages, Please do not point me again to SAP Help website which doesn't answer my query. THIS IS ABOUT REPLACING THE STANDARD ERROR MESSAGES FOR ESS/MSS APPLICATIONS.
Any help is much appreciated.
We are on EP 7.01 SP3 (ESS 1.41)

Hi Raj
Let me clarify the difference between ESS and MSS errors and JAVA stack errors
A "503 Service not available" is not an ESS or MSS error - this is the thrown by the stack (possibly while navigating
in ESS or MSS)
The only information I have available in the case of java stack errors is to follow
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9a/e74d426332bd30e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Whcih indicates how to customize stack errors like 404 or 500
Lastly you can also decide to hide the stack trace as per KBA 1596212
To modify an ESS or MSS message this may require modification to front and back-end HCM application - usually
ESS gets error information based on back-end errors example "fill in all required fields"
Hope this helps

Setting the session expiration time in ESS/MSS application

HI Experts,
how can we control the expiration time of a particular I view ? we have implemented ESS\MSS application on our portal . The session is getting expired after 5 minutes . We would like to increase this expiration time.
Thanks
Surender Dahiya

Surender,
Most of the ESS/MSS applications are webdynpro for java applications
check DefaultExpirationTime in the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/43/8a1a8ece230c8ce10000000a11466f/content.htm
but you can set expiration time at individual application level using sapexpirationtime which will take the precedence

What is the role of an ABAPer in ESS/MSS applications???

Hi all,
I am new to this area and if someone can explain the role of ABAPer in ESS/MSS implementation that would be helpful to me, also mail any documents pertaining to these concepts to mail id :
Your help will be rewarded.
Regards
Jerry

Hi,
The Role of the ABAP er in ESS/MSS would depends on the type of application we are developing
Basically the responsibilities would be to develop
The Back end coding like creating classes , methods, and Transfering data from objects to XSLT/XML
If we are using BSP pages for the portal then the central class will be assigned as controller class and the related coding will be done in the methods of the class.

How to rename 'Review' or 'Save' buttons in ESS/MSS applications?

Hi,
We are on EP7 SP9 and ESS 6.0
How to rename the 'Review' or 'Save' buttons in ESS/MSS?
I know these BPs are implementation of FPM.
I would like to know in which DC I need to do changes ?
Points will be awarded.
regards,
Raj.

Hi,
In each webdynpro application (irrespective of ESS or MSS) have Vc Components. All UI elements define here.
If you want to change text of any UI element in any standard DC (addr, bank, fam, cat, lea... ), you have to go to particular Vc Component under DC, change the text of UI Element.
FcEmployeeServicesComponent and FcNavigationComponent are commonly used DC's in all DC's.
FcEmployeeServicesComponent is used to get Employee number, molga....
FcNavigationComponent is used to navigate to AreaGroupPage, AreaPage, RestartService and Exit from current Application.

ESS/MSS Upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 Question..

Hi Gurus,
During the upgrade SAP R/3 would be upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. The HR module on this R/3 has - Org Management, Benefits, Time Administration and Payroll. They use ESS based on ITS. My question is when they go from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 - would they have to let go the ITS based ESS transactions and go with Web Dynpro based ESS? If yes then what happens to all the customizations they have done to ITS based ESS transactions. Would they have to be redone on the Web Dynpro based ESS?
Thanks,
Soniya Singh

yes You need to do different customisations for the Web dynpro since ECC 6 is better with WD, ITS functionality wont work here. Please check the training material for the MSS which is very exhaustive.
But if you continue to use ITS then your old customisation should work but then again there will be changes..better to move wholly to WD

SAP Portal Migration from 6.0 to 7.0 - ESS/MSS

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade Portal from 6.0 to 7.0 along with ECC to 6.0. We have many customization done in ESS/MSS and we want to keep the same customization in the newer version of portal. Can you please let us know how to achieve this ? I know that we need to be in synch with ECC version for ESS/MSS, so we are upgrading BP for ESS/MSS as well.
Thanks,
Vinit

When you say customization, are you talking about Webdynpro code changes made to the standard ESS/MSS applications ?
Unfortunately, the source code changes cannot be migrated with the click of a button when you upgrade.
The process is to manually look and compare the changes made by you in the old track (assuming you used NWDI) and the changes delivered by SAP in the new track using the Metadata comparison tool in NWDS.
If you want more explanation - refer to the attachment document (NWDI Cookbook for XSS) of SAP Note 872892.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/c4/2910411db1d349e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
As Sunny has suggested above, you might be able to use some of the existing backend configuration/customization as is and the rest would need some tweaks.
Thanks,
Shanti

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.
