ESS/MSS in ECC 6.0 are Abap or Java WebDynpro ?

Hi ,
We are on ECC5.0 and have ESS/MSS on Java WebDynpro . For ECC6.0 are ESS/MSS in ECC 6.0 are Abap or Java WebDynpro compoment ?
Any watch out when updrading from ECC5.0 to ECC6.0 ?
Thank you .

in ECC 6.0, ESS/MSS are WebDynpro Java calling ABAP backend function modules. However, be careful, there is a switch that enables SOME ESS services as ABAP WebDynpro (Especially in the Travel management area). Unless you use that switch all services are WebDynpro Java.
when upgrading from ECC5.0 to ECC 6.0 you need to test again all ESS/MSS services. In ECC5.0, services are written as Portal iViews, so customizations you made to ESS in ECC5.0 may be lost.
let me know if you still have questions.

ABAP Vs JAVA WebDynpro

Hi friends,
I have 6yrs of experience in SAP ABAP/4. I am new to WebDynpro. I have a pretty small question.
Among ABAP WebDynpro and JAVA WebDynpro, which one will have more demand in future wrt market requirement.
Thanks in advance for the information.
Rgds,
AK

Hi AK,
I have worked on both and following is the difference:
Web Dynpro for ABAP:
Web Dynpro for ABAP or Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP Workbench (SE80).
The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation effort
1) Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
2) Strict separation between layout and business data
3) Reuse and better maintainability by using components
4) Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
5) User interface accessibility is supported
6) Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
for more see this:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/77/3545415ea6f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Web Dynpro for Java:
Web Dynpro is a client-independent programming model of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform for developing user interfaces for professional business applications. It is based on the model view controller paradim which ensures that the business logic is separated from the presentation logic. This architecture is visible in the Web Dynpro perspective of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS).
Web Dynpro helps you with the development of Web applications by:
1) Ensuring platform-independence with the meta model approach
2) Minimizing the implementation effort through declarative programming
3) Supporting a structured design process by applying the model view controller paradigm
4) Providing reuse and better maintainability by using components
5) Providing graphical support with tools in the Web Dynpro perspective
6) Providing the SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (NWDI) which supports team work with different services such as source code versioning and the Central Build Service.
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/0d4f21c17c8044af4868130e9fea07/content.htm
The concept of Web Dynpro ABAP is identical with Web Dynpro Java and offers more or less the same functions
Hopw this will help you.
Cheers,
Darshna.

Ess Time Sheet and Attendance Web Dynpro - ABAP or JAVA

We are determining the resources we will be needing for the HR - ESS Time Sheet and Attendance Module.
What is this module written in. ABAP Web Dynpro or Java Web Dynpro.
Many thanks,
Multiple replies welcome.
Ken

The ESSTimeSheet is now called Record Working Time & for now it is still in WebDynpro JAVA.. looking at how complex the whole application is, it will really take some beating to rewrite the same in WDA.

Hi All,
We have a scenario where SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 SP 18 is currently running with SAP ECC 4.6C. SAP ECC is being upgraded to SAP ECC 6.0 and consequently we have a requirement to upgrade to the latest ESS/MSS business package. In a scenario like this what is SAP recommended approach for ESS/MSS upgrade? My questions are
1) Is a direct upgrade of ESS/MSS possible? If this is possible, then how will it be done on a production system with reduced or no downtime?
2) Should ESS/MSS business package be deployed and configured afresh after removing/undeploying the existing version of ESS/MSS business package? If this is the case how would the earlier customizations be restored?
3) Is there any other approach?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Suresh,
In my openion, it will be good if you go for new implementation, reason being as you mentiond ECC versionyou are on is 4.6c all the ESS applications are ITS based now a days all the application/iView for ESS are Webdynpro for Java or WD for ABAP based.
Till the time the new portal ready you can continue with your currect one (No down time require).
Most of the people are using this way. (Check the SDN for more details).
Also chcek this migration guide, which will give you the basic steps required.

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.

ESS, MSS node not displaying in portal

Hi,
I am not able to view the ESS,MSS configuration nodes in SPRO. Even i have activated EA_HR component field in spro under Activation Switch for SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set node.
But i am able to view the ESS customizing nodes through PTARQ t.code.
Kindly guid me, why i am not able to view the ESS, MSS nodes in spro.
we are into ECC 5.0, EP 6, Patch level is 85.
Regards,
Devi.

Devi,
PTARQ will suffice the need to configure ESS & MSS.
Still if you need to access through SPRO follow --> SPRO - Cross application components - Home Page framework.
or SPRO - Personnel Management - ESS.
Still if you dont find the nodes..check with BASIS n finally raise a ticket to SAP.

ESS MSS Configuration steps

Hi,
Can anyone share congiuration manual for ESS MSS. ECC 6.0 , EHP 5.
I really appreciate Siddharth for sharing Wiki config manual for ESS but it for <= EHP4.

Hi King,
Use lpd_cust for launchpad cutomization
1. How to add service for an existing sub area :
Here we have to store everything in Folder so Directly go to folder where you want to create that service and create new application.
2. how to position the service (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) in sub area
3. how to assign subarea to area
N/A
4. how to create new area
N/A
5. how to hide service etc
Two ways to Hide services 1) Using portal -Goto content admin->content provided by sap->endusercontent->ess->preview the overview iview and hide the scrvice which you dont want there.
2) using LPD_CUST---delete the service from the folder.
Note: Always work in the copy of standard Menu and Instance role.

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:

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.

Language specific settings for ESS/MSS

Hello Experts,
I got a question on language specific settings on the portal:
1) Suppose i have configured my ESS/MSS BP and my settings are in English language. Now when i logged in to the portal and click, it is opened in English language only, but when i click on Leave Request page, this particular page is opened in some other language (i mean other than English), so what might be the problem and where are the settings needs to be done if i encounter these kind of errors.
Cheers
Vijay

Hi Vijay
There are so many things that could affect language here is the ones I am aware of
1) IE locale
2) JCO language setting
3) Forced Language in Iview itself
4) Missing translations in the translation cycle
5) Java Dictionary bugs see 1082994
6) WD JAVA runtime bugs see 1265969
Best wishes
