ESS / MSS Implementation for ECC 5.0 (ERP2004)

Hello,
We are preparing to implement ESS/MSS for ERP2004. We are using EP6.0 SP9. The notes for both ESS and MSS business packages refer to OSS Note 761266 regarding the versioning of XSS components. Are the patches for the XSS components supposed to be deployed to the portal environment, the ERP2004 environment, or both? The three patches mentioned are:
PCUI_GP05_1.sca
ESS05_1.sca
MSS05_1.sca
Should these be installed in the portal, ERP2004, or both?
Thanks,
-Matt
Since the patches are stored under the ERP2004folder in the support packages area of Service.SAP.com, I assumed they would be applied to the ERP environment, but I want to confirm this.

Thanks for the clarification James. I thought the patches should be applied to WebAS for the ERP2004 environment, but the OSS note is vague about that fact.
Chuckie, We are implementing ESS version 60.2. ECC 5.0 refers to Enterprise Central Component 5.0, which is how SAP refers to the Core R/3 product in the ERP2004 suite.

A question about ESS / MSS implementation.

Hi All,
Just a brief again about our landscape as:
1. We have an ERP ECC5.0 system which has J2EE6.40(add-in) without the 'EP' usage type and the present Support package level of the relevant ESS and MSS components are as follows:
a. J2EE6.40 Support Package level is '17'.(We are going to deploy the XSS components here)
b. ERP ECC5.0 system's Software Components details are as follows:
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS RELEASE LEVEL HIGHEST SUPPORT PACKAGE APPLIED
SAP_BASIS 640 0016 SAPKB64016
SAP_ABA 640 0016 SAPKA64016
SAP_APPL 500 0009 SAPKH50009
SAP_HR 500 0019 SAPKE50019
EA-HR 500 0005 SAPKGPHC05
2. We have a separate NW2004s(Dual stack(ABAP7.0+J2EE7.0) installation having EP7.0 with Support Package level is '16'. (We are going to deploy the Business Package for ESS & MSS here).
Here are my questions?
1. what is the best 'Support Package' level recommendation or combination is applicable for all the components(J2EE6.40,SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR...etc.,) involved in this type of mixed landscape - ESS & MSS implementation?
2. If we apply the higher Support Packages 'only' for the ERP ECC5.0 software components such as: SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR - what other ERP ECC5.0 software components would get impacted from functionality prespective ?(let us say if we keep the current Support Package level for other software components as untouched)
3. Is there any dependency exist from the Support Package point-of-view between the ESS MSS Business Packages and with XSS components(PCUI_GP; ESS; MSS)
4. Is there any dependency exist from the Support Package point-of-view between XSS components and ERP ECC5.0 software components such as "SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR"
Kindly address my above concerns.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay
To answer your questions
First you should check note 1007341 which helps consultants proposing this type of landscape
To answer some of your questions
1) For SPs you have to patch ERP 2004 components following ERP 2004 stack and patch
    ERP 2005 components following the ERP2005 stack recommendations at www.service.sap.com/sp-stacks
    in terms of equivalence levels I would select SP levels from each stack with similiar release dates
2) Presumably you will be using ERP2004 components in the front-end in some capacity therefore these
    ERP2004 components must be patched in line with ECC 500 stacks
3) There is dependancies between Business Packages and XSS
4) There is dependancies between back-end components SAP_HR and EA_HR and XSS/BP
    SAP_HR and EA_HR also have their own dependancies with the other back-end components listed

ESS & MSS users in ECC 6.0 into portal

Hi Experts
How to get the ESS & MSS users in ECC 6.0 into portal
Thanks
Daya

Open the door and let them in. *grin*
Not sure what you are really trying to ask. ESS and MSS are just grouped content in the portal itself. Your portal users will have portal ROLES assigned to them for ESS and/or MSS. These in turn will tie to backend security roles in ECC.
Now, "where" your users come from will depend on your portal configuration...like setting them to be authorized via Active Directory, an SAP system, etc.
Kinda like this....
user->UME source->portal role(s)--->backend security role(s)

How to get the ESS & MSS users in ECC 6.0 into portal

Hi Experts
How to get the ESS & MSS users in ECC 6.0 into portal
Thanks
Daya

Hi,
You need to have SSO in between ECC and portal and use ABAP engine as your UME.
then ECC users can directly login to portal using the same user id and password.
Or you can create the ECC system in portal and user mapping should be done for every user to the ECC system.

Service specific ESS/MSS customizing for netherlands

Hello experts,
could anyone please let me know if there are country specific ESS/MSS scenarios for netherlands are available. I couldn't find anytihing in the help.sap.com documentation.
Many thanks
Marco

Hi Marco
There should be specific country services for ESS netherlands - You should be able to see the following in the Homepage Framework customizing table of the back-end ECC system -->
EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_NL_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_BANK_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_BANK_NL_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_NL_SERVICE0
EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_NL_SERVICE05
The actual iviews and WD applications should be visible in the Portal PCD under the ESS role end user content or in J2EE WD content administrator under essnlxxx
If they are not available it could be you are missing essential ESS software components or have a different technology platform and older ESS version or too low an SP stack
MSS is general functionality which should be available in Dutch - this may be BP dependant therefore please check release notes or any download information for the software component for more details
Hope this helps
Stuart

Training and Event Managaement in ESS/MSS Portal for ERP2004 version

Hi SDNs,
I am working for ESS/MSS for ERP2004 system to NW2004s system.Afer importing the business packages to portal, I got only the following roles for ESS and MSS.
Employee Self-Service:
Employee Search | Working Time | Benefits and Payment | Personal Information | Career and Job | Purchasing | Work Environment | Travel and Expenses | Life and Work Events
MSS: MyStaff:
Overview | Attendance | Personnel Change Request | Recruiting | Reporting | Headcount
MyBudget:

According to the Worksets i got it, i couldn't find, Training and Development activity, Performance Mangement in both ESS and MSS.
How do I achieve this?
We also have a requirement of OH & S to be integrated to ESS.
Please suggest me to integrate this activities.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sireesha.B.

Hi,
Training and Development, Performance Management are not available in the latest versions of ESS and MSS.
You may have to use the old Business Packages to incorporate this, the only difference would be that those pages would be BSPs.
Please refer to the following threads:
ESS/MSS with my SAP ERP2005
Are there Appraisal for ESS
BSPs for Performance Management - Response Appreciated.

ESS-in-MSS options for ECC 5.0 / EP6.0

Hi,
We have ECC5.0 & EP6 SP15 and have implemented ESS & MSS. In the old business package, there were iviews for ESS in MSS but I can't find anything in the new one - for example, we used to have Time Statement (PZ04) as an ESS-in-MSS iview but I can't see how to do this with the new web dynpro version of Time Statement - can anyone help?
Many thanks
Jane

Jane,
unfortunately, it's not included in MSS for ECC5.0 anymore.

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.

Is ESS/MSS configured in ECC 6.0 ??

Hi all,
     Please let me know whether ESS/MSS is configured in the ECC 6.0 by default and if it is how to check it and start working on it.........
Thanks & Regards
Jerry

hi if you have ECC 6.0 it does not mean that you have ESS MSS already configured.
all you have to do is to install ESS MSS to your portal server (EP WAS).
if you are trying to check if some one has already installed it or configured it then you will have to logon to portal and check in PCD -> content provided by SAP
here you will find Employee self service Folder.
if not then you have to deploy the ESS MSS BP.
The link have been changed or revised check this fresh download link for BP
there are mainly 3 BP which you need to install. Make sure you install SAP PCUI_GP 600 first then ESS & MSS.
goto: https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/support
Click on SAP Support Packages - Entry by Application Group
Follow the link goto -> Support Packages and Patches -> SAP Application Components -> SAP ERP ->
SAP ERP 6.0 -> Entry by Component -> SAP XSS (Self Services)
Here you can select the Patch which you want to go after your initial installation which was SP09 i.e
For ESS
Under -> SAP ESS 600 you will get the ESS BP
Click on #OS independent -> supoose you want to go for SP13 then download
SAPESS13_0-20000512.SCA----> SAP ESS 600 Support Package 13 &
SAPESS13P_2-20000512.SCA---->Patch for SAP ESS 600 Support Package 13
similarly for MSS
Under -> SAP MSS 600 you will get the MSS BP
Only      SAPMSS13_0-20000503.SCA---->SAP MSS 600 Support Package 13
Similarly for SAP PCUI_GP 600
Under -> SAP PCUI_GP 600 you will get the SAP PCUI_GP BP (Remeber this BP must be installed first)
only      SAPPCUIGP13_0-20001215.SCA---->SAP PCUI_GP 600 Support Package 13

ESS/MSS version for R/3 4.7

Hi Experts,
I am onto my first implementation for ESS/MSS . Client is having R/3 as 4.70 , EP 7.0 and BW 3.5 configuration. Can you please advice me what BP(release) for ESS/MSS needs to be installed for this? Few places I found that R/3 4.70 supports only ITS versions of ESS and MSS. Is there any location where I can find matirx describing the relation between R/3 releases and supported ESS/MSS releases?
Thanks and warm regards,
Aditya.

Hi Deepak,
Thank you so much for you answer. Just out of curiousity from where we can see this informattion? Is it true that for R/3 4.7 only ITS version is supported not webdynpro? How do we give points in SDN in case our query is answered?
I found the link /message/5208591#5208591 [original link is broken] which talks about
ESS and MSS releases, still being new I am not able to locate the exact information needed.
If you don't mind can I have your contact number, your knowledge might be very helpful to me.
Thanks and warm regards,
Aditya.

MessageBox on Adobe Form in MSS PCR for ECC 5.0

Hello,
I have a question regarding the behavior of Adobe form messagebox in MSS PCR.
I tried to test how the messagebox looks like, and so I created a PCR scenario with an Adobe form. This form contains a datetime field. I added the script "xfd.host.messageBox("this is message", "this is title") to the "exit" event of the datetime field. Then I did all the necessary steps so that this PCR is displayed in the Portal.
Now at the runtime, when I select a date value from the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed, BUT within an empty Adobe Reader page. It is not displayed on the top of my adobe form.
But the strange thing is that when I use tab key to navigate through the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed on the top of my adobe form, without the empty Adobe Reader page.
I also tried my script with several different event types, including "Change", and "Validate", it behaves the same way. But when I tried it with the event type "MouseExit", no empty Adobe reader page is shown up at all (of course, this is not the right event type for me)
The environment is ECC 5.0, MSS business package for ECC 5.0, SAP Portal 7.0 (NW 2004s), Adobe LiveCycle 7.1
Has anyone experienced this? I'd really appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Harrison

Antony,
The Adobe Reader version is 8.1.1
Just wondering if you used messageBox in interactive forms with ISR framework, and it worked well for you?
Thanks.
Harrison
