SAP ESS/MSS Config required

Hi All,
Can anyone send me the documentation on configuration of ESS/MSS in SAP. And I want to know from functional side, what would be our roles and responsibilities with respect to the implementation of ESS/MSS.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Vasu.

Hi Vasu,
As Functional Consultants, we make the customizing in two ways:
- General settings: to define the links to ESS-MSS apps from homepage and its behaviour
- Specific settings: to define the behaviour of ESS-MSS applications, i mean define valid subtypes for infotypes from Personal Information, the process for leave time request, the salary statement form to display, who's who fields and grouping, etc...
Also, depending on the size, requirements and technical scope of your project, you may do some tasks as a Portal Consultant, i mean define Roles and User Groups, look & feel basical activities & any other Portal functional config.
Usually in a middle or big-size project there is an expert Portal Consultant in the team who make this job (and also technical tasks). But again, that depends on your project.
A good guide for ESS-MSS:

Kind regards in your implementations!

Dear Sagar
To find Enterprise portal you need to ask your Basis team regarding the URL link which will be published by them with below format
<Hostname>.<Domainname>.<Extension>:Port#/irj/portal and also check your EP system landscape whether your are running in 2 tier(Dev & Prd) or 3 tier architechture (DEV,QAS,PRD) so that you can do the ESS/MSS config & testing accordingly. And also make sure that you deploy the following
Enterprise Extension:
EA-HR
When i am trying to make configuration i am not able to find the IMG PATH
PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT->Employee Self Service.
For getting this path what i will have to do.
you need to activate the below Business Fucntions to get that IMG path. Kindly take your basis team help on this,

How to Config ESS & MSS

Hello Masters
Could u send a best Link on
Configuring ESS & MSS
Thanks

Hi,
1. Can SAP control ESS/MSS not to allow (to grey field approval ) user to change the approval fields?If yes, how to config this?
There are multiple ways to achieve this, you can achieve it through config or by personalizing the WD screen.
Easiest will be to personalize the Web Dynpro screen.
a. Preview the Leave request application through Content Administration.
b. Press Ctrl+Right Click on the approver field.
c. In the Personalization dialog select Read only.
2. Instead of default Head of org unit as approval, can I skipped it to the another superior higher than him/her.For example i'm in org A. Org A under Support dept. I want to to set default approval for staff 2 level org unit above him/her.
All the custom logic can be implemented by implementing the BADI
PT_GEN_REQ (as of Release 5.00)
BAdI: Control Processing Processes for Web Applications
PT_ABS_REQ (from Release 5.00)
Enhancements for Leave Request
3. For some leave ie Hosp leave, how to default approval to HR manager.
same as above
4.For project staff, can we put his supervisor as a approval.
same as above
5. I want to hide leave not to allow staff to see his mc balance only. How to config this.However, the staff stil apply via ess/mss to the approval.
I didn't understand the requirement. Can you please elaborate ?
Thanks
Prashant

ICONS Not Showing Up on ESS/MSS pages

Hi All,
I'm Setting UP ESS / MSS on EP 6.0 SP9 with ERP2004 on the backend. The basic pages for ESS/MSS are displaying ok in the portal, but none of the icons for the menus are displayed. I checked the portal server, and all the images are there, but they are not located in the directories indicated by the URL's show in the properties of the ESS page.
Example: here is the URL of an image as captured from the properties on the portal page.
http://ipaddress.com:50000/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/Components/com.sap.xss.ser.xssmenu.vc.areagroup.VcXssMenuAreaGroup/money.gif
Here is where I actually found the images on the server (in 2 locations)
D:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\global\config\cm\etc\public\mimes\images\pictograms
and
D:\usr\sap\DEV\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.portal.navigation.mimeservice\images
Any idea why the URL points to a different location? Any why are the images stored twice?
Thanks,
-Matt

Is anyone having a similiar issue with images not displaying in the portal for ESS/MSS for ERP2004? I can go into the IMG and change the text associated with the Area pages. I have defined a server for the resources, and attempted to put in a URL directly to the image file, but no luck getting any images to display on the pages.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Matt

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....

Deploying ESS/MSS

Hi,
We are having some issues with regards to Self Services. We have done a EP7.01 deployment and updated the J2EE Core components. We also installed the XSS Business Packages. All this was done using JSPM and is visible under deployed components.
Now the issue arose when a apps consultant noticed an error:
   com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException: Failed in WD JNDI lookup. javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No child found in WebDynproContext with name essuspdata
I have had a look at these forums to prevent wasting people's valuable time
Re: ESS IVIEW not working
Re: PortalRuntimeException: Failed in WD JNDI lookup
Re: Error in the Standard MSS iview?
Now it seems that if the XSS services were deployed then they would be visible in Visual Administrator under the "deploy" service ->webdynpro along with the big list there is already. Now i cannot find this "essuspdata" or any other ESS/MSS service there, which suggests that it may not be installed or deployed or started. Now correct me if i am wrong, all deployment should be done via JSPM not SDM? I had a look in SDM for curious reasons and saw ESS/MSS and other Business Packages there in the list under SDM repository but it does not say if it is deployed/installed/started.
Can someone please guide me where i have gone wrong, as i am new to Enterprise Portal?
thanks in advance!
Mani

thanks for your reply.
he has said there is nothing he hasn't forgot to look into and tried.
I had a look into the SAP logviewer and saw some errors come up at the time i tried to start the essuspdata
the application that is causing this is: Application : sap.com/tcwddispwda
i am not sure if this is dependant on other applications/services that are supposed to be started
(sorry for the huge dump of information and badly formatted reply)

not sure why it is giving this error, as it seems like a general issue but i can't put my finger on it.
I had a check for other errors which i have rectified myself and its looking slightly cleaner than before.
again i have looked all over google, SDN, OSS notes and nothing. Not sure if this is a new problem or am i missing some config somewhere. did find one note which said to apply the latest java component patches which i have but its not sorted anything. My only concern is why i can't see essuspdata or any other ess/mss under Content Administration -> Webdynpro -> under deployed content -> sap.com which only indicates its not deployed but from here onwards i am truly lost as to why
Any ideas,

ESS/MSS for International Country grouping

Hi all,
Scenario: We are implementing Portal ESS/MSS on ECC6 and have loaded the Best Practices with the below components.
SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 SP12 with the following additional software components
     BP ERP05 Common Parts 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5COM)
     BP ERP05 ESS 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5ESS))
     BP ERP05 MSS 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5MSS)
     SAP ESS 600 SP08 (SAP_ESS)
     SAP MSS 600 SP08 (SAP_MSS)
     SAP PCUI_GP 600 SP08 (SAPPCUI_GP)
Now, the ESS and MSS is to be implemented for a Country Grouping 99 - International and not any specific country.
Problem: The iViews are not loading for International, when the R/3 config setting is for 99. While it seems to be calling the right iViews for 10 - USA or 12 - Belgium.
Can you please assist on how to link up the Users to the roles and correct iViews.
Thank you.
Sandeep

Hi Anil,
Steps in brief:
0. Once you have implemented the Busin. Packages from SAP you will get all the Portal Content which is country specific. This is the same content being called from R/3 using country specific resources.
1. Go to R/3 -> Pers Admin -> ESS -> General Settings -> Home Page for SS -> Services -> Define Country Srvcs.
Go into Define Country specific srvcs and you will see the view V_T7XSSSERSRVCG
2. This table contains all the country specific implementations offerred by SAP. You can use some of these and copy/create for CGrpng 99 as below. This should be based on what services you want to use on ESS.
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_ADDRESS         99    EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_ADDRESS05       99    EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_BE_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_BANK            99    EMPLOYEE_BANK_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_BANK05          99    EMPLOYEE_BANK_BE_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_FAMMEMBER       99    EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_FAMMEMBER05     99    EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_BE_SERVICE05
3. Also make sure your CGrpng in Pers Area/ PSA is set to 99, basically Employee shold belong to 99.
Hope this helps in figuring out a few more things !!
Good luck

XSS (ESS/MSS) Configuration and Installation Guide

Hello,
I have checked archived postings and see people sharing configuration and installation guides for ESS/MSS. I wonder if people are still sharing these documents?
I'm on EP 2004s SP14 by the way.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jan,
You might want to look at this thread, which has all the config docs listed
