ESS\MSS implementation in SAP Portal

Hi Friends,
Just need your help.
I need some screen shots of mss functionalities in SAP Portal ....It will great if someone can just send me those.
Thanks,
Shyam

Hi,

TIME on ESS/MSS with the SAP Portal, release ERP2005 ECC6.

Hello,
I need to implement TIME (Leave request) on ESS/MSS with the SAP Portal, release ERP2005 ECC6.
Any informations about the customizing for a proof of concept would be appreciated.
All the back-end (R/3) as allready been customized.
Thanks for your responses.

Hello,
If you already have all the templates and such configured then its easy. We don't have ESS and only one MSS scenario. However we support the web environment via BSP HAP_DOCUMENT. You can include our list pages in an Iview and assign that to the ESS or MSS scenario in the portal.
They also run stand alone, so you can test it as well without configuring the portal.
See also <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2007/02/20/objective-setting-appraisals-the-web-environment bloggy</a> on OSA and the web Environment, especially the last part will be of interest for you.

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

How to display ESS/MSS in different NW Portal

Hello Experts,
We are running ESS/MSS on a NW 6.0 portal. Now, we have a requirement to also display this ESS/MSS content on another portal which is running on NW 7.01 (we do not wish to install ESS/MSS on this server).
What is the best way to accomplish this? Could you please give me some advise and links to articles or blogs on the web that has step by step instructions? I searched around, but was unable to find anything related to this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Abu

According to SAP's FPN's prerequisites and Version Interoperability guide
SAP NetWeaver consumer and producer portals should all be running SAP NetWeaver 7.0
SAPNetWeaver '04 is not supported.
Additional details: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/45/76322bf0020dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
In fact there are issues if multiple SPS on NW7 are used (for instace producer is SP09 and consumer is SP11). Note 1005176 talks about patching some of the components to fix the issue.
So, FPN is out of the question. Has anyone done it using the Portals' URL or appIntegrator iView?

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.

System configuration for ESS/MSS Implementation

Hi,
I am stuck while configuring the systems for XSS configuration. I have completed following:
1) Installed Portal 7.00 (based on NW2004s) which uses the backend ERP2005 system as a User Master source.
2) Implemented the business packages for ESS 1.0 (SP6), MSS 1.0 (SP6) and SAPPCUI_GP 600 (SP6).
3) Configured the SLD ( we have SLD running on a separate XI system)
4) Configured JCO destinations (tested ok).
5) Configured Systems for Portal and the ERP systems with system aliases.
    For Portal System:   I have only configured the WAS properties (i.e. hostname, path and protocol).and User management (using UDIPW as the logon method)
The system alias is SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
    For ERP System: I have configured connection, user management and W.A.S. properties. The system aliase is SAP_ECC_HumanResources
However, when I perform the connection tests for both systems, they both fail for "Connection Test for connectors" test. It gives the message "Connection failed. Make sure the user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Kristoffer,
I have tried as per your suggestion but it still gives an error.
The connector properties for my ERP system are as below:
Application Host : C1BL1 (also included the domain)
Gateway Host   : C1BL1
Gateway Service : sapgw00
Logical System Name   : ER1CLNT210
Remote Host Type - 3
SAP Client   : 210
SAP System ID (SID) : ER1
SAP System Number : 00
Server Port : 3200
System Type - SAP_R3
System aliases for ERP system are:
SAP_ECC_HumanResources and SAP_R3_Financials.
I have not maintained any W.A.S. properties for this system.
For my Portal system: WAS properties are:
Web AS Description : EP_Portal
Web AS Host Name : C1BL3:50100
Web AS Path   : /webdynpro/dispatcher/
Web AS Protocol - http
I had not maintained the connector properties for this system before, but I have now maintained as following:
Application Host : C1BL1 (also included the domain)
Logical System Name   : ER1CLNT210
Remote Host Type - 3
SAP Client   : 210
SAP System ID (SID) : ER1
SAP System Number : 00
Server Port : 3200
System Type - SAP_R3
The system alias for EP is: SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
In the UME configuration --> User mappings, I am using SAP_ECC_HumanResources system as the reference system.
Please let me know if you need more info.
Regards,
Nilesh

Best Practice? - Implementing different sap portals on the same hardware

We have a very large intranet portal implementation today spanning multiple boxes with 30k+ users on it.
A different business group is asking us to build a sap vendor portal system, but would like to know if we can run it on the same equipment.
The intranet uses ldap where the vendor will authenticate/authorize against the database. Aside from this, other configurations will be different. My gut feel is that this is something we should not do (mixing both intranet and vendor systems on the same hardware with different config's).
Is there a best practice document that outlines if this is something that should be done or avoided. Also, if you have run into this and have an answer, would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks in advance for the assistance,
Todd

Hi Todd,
Technically there isn't a reason you couldn't run both portals on the same hardware assuming it is sized properly. You could even use the same portal if you wanted to.
The thing I would be concerned with is security. I assume you have more stringent security requirements for external facing applications than internal applications like the need for additional firewalls and reverse proxies. Usually if you pursue the security requirements you will find the need for separate portal hardware.
Hope this helps

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!

Backend R/3 connectivity for ESS MSS from portal

Hi,
We are currently in development cycle for ESS/MSS based on portal EP 6.0 SP16 and ERP 2004 in backend. We are trying to find out how the ESS/MSS business package on portal works with backend ESS functionality in ERP 2004. It is more of a connectivity question. We want to know if we expose our portal to internet so that users can login to ESS/MSS from internet, do we need to put backend ERP (ECC 5.0) system also in DMZ? Do we need to open ports between portal and R/3 so that ESS/MSS can work? Or the communication happens using JCO connections and we need not to expose R/3 system.
Also one more specific question? If someone knows how ESS/MSS talks to backend system. At SAP application layer level or database level? I am asking this question to check if I need to open a port to talk to database or I can very well keep 2-3 SAP application server in DMZ and work.

You need to look at the specific business package. For example, ESS for mySAP ERP 2004 says that the technology is Java / Web dynpro, which says that the Java engine uses RFCc to get the data from the backend.
Othe businesss packages may use ITS, which then needs another connection from the user to the ITS server.

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.

Sunil
