ESS/MSS problem with UWL

Hi,
Situation
We are using ESS/MSS within the Portal 7.0 SP 14. The SAP Backend which we are using is ECC 6.0.
SSO between the Portal and Backend works efficient.
Problem
There are some issues when using the Universal Worklist. All tasks appear in our Universal Worklist from the Backend. Unfortunately, when trying to open any task we are facing the following error:
com.sap.aii.proxy.framework.core.DataAccessException: Type conversion error, field I_TRIPNUMBER, complex type class com.sap.xss.tra.tri.model.tripform.Ptrm_Web_Form_Pdf_Get_Input
at com.sap.aii.proxy.framework.core.JcoBaseTypeData.propagateJcoException(JcoBaseTypeData.java:130)
at com.sap.aii.proxy.framework.core.JcoBaseTypeData.setElementValue(JcoBaseTypeData.java:751)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.modelimpl.dynamicrfc.DynamicRFCModelClass.setAttributeValueAsString(DynamicRFCModelClass.java:669)
at com.sap.xss.tra.tri.model.tripform.Ptrm_Web_Form_Pdf_Get_Input.setI_Tripnumber(Ptrm_Web_Form_Pdf_Get_Input.java:282)
at com.sap.xss.tra.tri.fc.tripform.FcTriTripForm.rfcFormPdfGet(FcTriTripForm.java:382)
... 65 more
Following steps have been followed up
The URL parameter of the resource "Employee_travel_tripform_srv05 has the value "sap_xss_tra_UsePdf=true"
The iView "Display Trip Form" has the application parameter "sap.xss.tra.UsePdf=true"
Question
When a task is opened from the Universal Worklist, the Trip Form must appear in PDF Form.At this stage the iview "Display Trip Form" opens but shows the error mentioned above.
Is there anyone who could help us out?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Gene Madikrama

Hi Barin Desai,
Again thank you for your response. We have checked the workflow *WS90000013*, and you are right; it is a customized workflow.
As we already mentioned, we are using a &BUS2089&.
In this &BUS2089& there are the elements: &TRIP.EMPLOYEENUMBER& and &TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&
Unfortunately it is not possible to delete &BUS2089&. Deleting the &BUS2089& will cause a lot of problems for this total Workflow.
UWL iView
For the UWL iView we are using the XML file "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.xml" that comes with the ESS/MSS business package.
A piece of the code of "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.xml is:
<Action name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.action.DisplayExpenseForm" referenceBundle="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.DisplayForm"
 handler="SAPAppLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes"launchNewWindowFeatures="toolbar=no,menubar=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="SAPIntegrator" value="ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_travel_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.tripform"/>
 <Property name="sap.xss.tra.TripNo" value="${item.TripNumber}"/>
 <Property name="sap.xss.tra.PersNo" value="${item.EmployeeNumber}"/>
 <Property name="sap.xss.tra.TripComponent" value=" "/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="10"/>
 <!Property name="UserComment" value="$"/>
 <!Property name="User" value="$The specified item was not found."/>
 </Properties>
 </Action>
Question:
Will changing the code of "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.xml" solve our problem? Or do we need to change something else?
Is there anything we need to do from the portal side or any configuration on the ECC backend?
Regards,
Gene Madikrama

Generic iViews in MSS- problem with launching in the general information

Hi,
My requirement is to display information with a custom query (display info from P0008) in the General Information.
For this, we have chosen to work with Generic iViews.
I have followed the following links:
Link: [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/6c/9358f7d8dc43838e4f1135b9c37adb/content.htm]
Link: [MSS Generic iView not working in General Information Page ]
The problem i am facing is with Launching the iView Wizard and General Information provided in the 1st link. I am not able to continue with the pointsd under Portal Content Administration
Thanks,
Pinki

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for the reply. But my query was not regarding ESS in MSS.
Its about Generic iViews where you can fetch data using custom queries and user groups and display the same in the general information. I have attached the link provided by SAP below. There are mainly 3 parts to the config:
1. Creating of custom query.
2. Using FPM to add the generic iview for list to the perspective of the FPM appl of General information.
3. Then creating the WD iview of the added view within General information from content Admin and then adding the WD page to the General information page.
This is my comprehension of the steps provided. However there is one of the link within the Portal Content Admin that does not work.
Please find the link from help.sap.com below:
[http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/6c/9358f7d8dc43838e4f1135b9c37adb/content.htm]

Problem with UWL

Hi All,
I have an issue from the Portal user that when he wants to nominate a person for receiving the notifications in his absense, he is actually not receiving them for a particular task.
But if the assignee tries to do it for all tasks then the nominee is receiving all the notifications.
Kindly let me know what is missing or what can be done for the solution.
Regards
DK

Thanks Haydn ,
For your so quick reply. I checked my UWL system object configuration. Its showing that system login is via SAPLOGONTICKET not by UIDPW.
After that we have maintained ITS Settings in UWL system.. so the previous problem is not coming now but a new problem is coming -
404 ERROR
SYSTEM COULD NOT FIND THE RESOURCE.
Please try to help on this as i have already deployed the applciation and without UWL link its running fine in the system.
Thanks,
Roshan

Problem with UWL substitution - ASAP

Hello,
When creating a Manage Subtitution Rule we have the button to create rule and delete the record. In this i would like to disable the delete button only.
The property option in UWL iview is to disable both create and delete button.
So can anyone help me to figure out a solution to this problem as the delete button would delete my record from the table which we donot want.
Is there any alternative to save all the substitution records even after deleting them.
Thanks.
Points are rewarded

Hi,
The template you used is different.
Try to create a java webdynpro iview and in the package you will find substitution application variant.
After creating the iview open the preview and here you can use CTRL plus right click and personalize.
Thanks and Regards,
gopal

Problem with uwl overview

I wanted to display an summary of the UWL in the portal first page so I add the uwl iview and choose "overview" in the property "UWL Navigation Style" but when I display it in the browser some of the times I get the number of new tasks (Tasks (11 New / 14) ) and some of the times I don't get (after logging off and on with the same user).
Does anybody has an idea how can I get the number of new tasks all the time?

I am using a copy of the iview
In pcd:
Content provided by SAP->End User Content->Standard Portal Users->iViews-> --> com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews --> Universal Work list.
I notice I sometimes don't see the summary (i.e. Tasks (11 New / 14) ) even when I'm in regular mode and not in overview mode. Weird,no?

Custom Reports for ESS/MSS ? with PNP??

I am trying to create a custom report for ESS, and am unsure if I can use the PNP logical database in this code. I am concerned that if the associate does not have access to see those infoytpes in production, then they would not be able to see their own data from those infotypes in ESS.
Can anyone offer their opinion? Thank you!!!!

Hi Subash,
This would be the case.As the J2EE version with ECC6.0 is 7.0 and we need to apply the BP to both ECC and EP.
Try to think , how do you balance EP6.0 with 6.40 J2EE engine <-> ECC6.0 with 7.0 J2ee engine? will get the answer!

Typical problem with UWL

Hi All,
We are having two systems MDM and ECC. We want all item from different systems should come to same UWL. It is working fine for users having access to both the systems. It is not working for them having access to one system only.
Suppose user is having access to MDM system buy not the ECC system. Then user is getting the error for ECC, portaldestinationsserviceexception User is missing credential for connecting alias ... The error is very much logical because they do not have access to ECC system. How to deal with the error?
My requirement is every user should get everything in one UWL. People having access to one system is getting the error for other system. If I create two iview the my ultimate motto to get everything in one UWL is lost.
Thanks in advance.
Raktim

Hi Raktim,
Here's what you can do :
1. create one role for MDM users (UWL_MDM for instance)
2. assign this role to MDM users
3. edit the UWL systems used for MDM and paste the id of the UWL_MDM role in the User Roles field
(in System Administration > System Configuration > UWL & Workflow > UWL Administration)
Do the same for the ECC system.
Users with the UWL_MDM role will have access to the MDM work items, users with UWL_ECC role will have access to the ECC work items and users with both roles will have access to MDM and ECC work items. And the error messages won't appear anymore.
EDIT : you can also disable the error message using the "Display Connection Status" property of the UWL iView : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/36/dd4ad73c86412e81e9ce66eeb147e7/frameset.htm

Program exit: CL_HRASR00_POBJ_WF_EXIT is in place.
Can I please have assistance getting the Approval button to process the Approval?

Resolved - There was a role issue - testing the process with another used account worked.
Looks like it was set up correctly.

Compatability of ESS/MSS ERP 2004 with ECC 6.0

Hi,
I was using ERP 2004 ESS/MSS on EP 7.0 SP 8. My backend was ECC 5.0.
Recently we upgraded our backend to ECC 6.0. But after the upgradation the ESS/MSS packege is not working on the portal. Its showing the below error.
com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalApplicationNotFoundException: Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.appdesigner.api_framework
 at com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalApplicationItem.prepare(PortalApplicationItem.java(Compiled Code))

 at com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.SAPJ2EEApplicationItem.start(SAPJ2EEApplicationItem.java:192)
 ... 8 more
Is ERP 2004 ESS/MSS comapatbile with ECC 6.0 or there are any steps to be performed after upgradation from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0?
Any suggestions??
Regards
Debasish

The new Business Packages meant for ECC 6.0 are based on Webdynpro for Java ....which have a different and better look and feel ....these are based on a RoadMap(Floor Plan Manager) which let the employees/managers to go from Overview(dislay the data),edit (to change) ,Review(to review) and Confirmation (To Confirm)....
Hope it helps.

Adobe forms in ESS/MSS

Hi All,
It would be great if you could provide me some links on where I can find some information on
Building Adobe forms in ESS/MSS portal with workflows.
Thanks very Much!

Error in ESS/MSS

Hi, everyone:
When I installed the Business Package with ESS/MSS and with the assigned HR manager login(I tested the back-end SAP and ITS were already integrated) .I have errors with the screen in the HR manager interface, every iView show me same error:
Portal Runtime Error
Thanks again!
Huaishu Li

You need to give set correct permission to execute this iView.
1. Navigate to System Administration->Permissions.
2. Click on Security Zones->com.sap.portal.ep50->ep50_safety
3. Right Click on edit and select edit permission
4. Add user or user group and give them the read permission.
Save it and test it with concerned user.
This should help.

ESS MSS & Infotype 2012

Hello,
Can we input some data via ESS/MSS linking with Infotype 2012.
If yes, where we configure ESSMSS/It2012 via SPRO.
Thanks

Hi Julien
2012 looks more like a Time administrators infotype
It is unlikely this is available or could be easily made available via ESS - usually ESS employees are allowed
to record their working time which is approved by managers for payment - this infotype likely makes adjustments
which may change payments or affect payroll
Via MSS or HRAS you may be able to create a custom BSP/Iview/workflow/process or form
Best wishes

URGENT : EP 7.0 /ECC 5.0 - Problem with Business Package : ESS/MSS

Dear Portal Gurus,
We are facing a problem with business package for ESS/MSS
Our system Info is as under :
Portal:- NW 2004s
ERP2004: - (R3 ECC 5.0)
ESS:- BP for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.2
MSS:- BP for Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.1.1
SAP XSS à (SAP ESS 100, SAP MSS 100 and SAP PCUI_GP 100 , all upto SP 12)
After the Business Packages were installed,found that some ess apps where not deployed...so manually deployed it.
The JCO connections are OK.
Do we need to set up the backend Homepage Framework for the same......even for preview.....was thinking not.
Also, here is the error and exception that we get when we preview any ESS iview.
A critical error has occured. Processing of the service had to be terminated. Unsaved data has been lost.
Please contact your system administrator.

Problems with Integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01

We are having major problems with integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01?
Do we need to have a support portal for each.
We created test users for systems but sometimes we lose the users for no apparrent reasons. Very strange. Please advise and if you have new documentation regarding SAP Portal Authorization it will be helpful.

Hi
Please search on SDN for integrating SRM, ESS/MSS in Portal.
