ESS/MSS standard BP customizing

Hi Guru's,
We need to change some standard ESS/MSS services but we don't know where are the source code, we only have some Interface's.
If we want to hide or add a field to store data, how can we do that?
Thanks in advance, best regards
Pedro

ESS/MSS Standard workflow not triggered....

Hi Experts,
I have small doubt, but why can't I solve this I does't know? Kindly some one help me on this issue.
Scenario as follows...
I have copied the standard loan workflow "WS18900041" to my custom workflow. So, Here when I apply loan through portal workflow is not triggered. I have activated the events which are present in loan. But after that also I am unable to trigger the workflow. Through SWE2 / SWETYPV tcode I have enabled the linkage to the portal. When I activate the event in workflow it will be automatically shown in SWE2 / SWETYPV. After all the process I have activated and checked, When I tried to apply for loan and submit the loan I am unable to trigger the workflow else workflow is not getting triggered. Kindly help.... Most Highly importance.... Please reply as soon as possible....

Hi Dharani,
Have a look at my weblog,
For your 1st Question:
"How to do the modification in certain ESS/MSS standard iviews? using your local machine NWDS?" -
1.After you configured your track for ESS/MSS business package in NWDI try importing the track in NWDI by configuring NWDI server in NWDS, goto Windowsàpreferences-Java Development Infrastructure-Development Configuration
and specify the URL where you have configured your NWDI
2. create a project for the views which you want to modify.
3. Checkout and create a new activity for the DC
4. Make the changes as per your requirement
5. Checkin the activty once you are done with the changes
6.Activate and release
These are all the steps involved in customization of any business package.
Mail me back if you have any doubts.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Linkage between ESS/MSS Resource Server -- Resource Object in ERP 2004

Dear all,
I have a question about settings in the backend configuration of ESS/MSS:
In the IMG activitiy, you define Resource Servers. And then you can choose a specific server for a Resource Object. Though, when I look into an already setup ESS/MSS-solution at customer site, I cannot find that any of the resource objects in use have a specific server entered - only relative paths.
How does this work then? How does the system know where (on which portal system) to find a specific portal page/image object that a resource object links to? Is there a 'default' resource server used?
Your help is much appreciated!

Hi Prakash
This is the end of the dev_jrfc.trc from the abap/j2ee webdynpro server:
Error file opened at 20050608 101523 British Summer Time Rel 6.40
Error> occured >Wed Jun 08 10:15:23,406< >RfcGetException rc (7) message: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received
<RfcGetException
Error> occured >Wed Jun 08 10:17:28,544< >RfcGetException rc (7) message: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received
<RfcGetException
The portal dev_jrfc.trc does not report any errors.
Other information I should have mentioned: EP uses LDAP for user directory, the ABAP system uses its own user management, the J2EE on the ABAP server uses its own user management. The user I am testing with is the same name in all 3 systems and has full admin permissions in each.
Thanks, Fergus

What is the exact procedure of upgrading the ESS/MSS

Hi,
We intially started with EP 7.0 sp13 and ESS/MSS version 600 SP10.Later on we upgraded to EP 7.0 SP13 and ESS/MSS to SP13.
we have done lot of customisations to SAP ESS/MSS standard code and we did them again when we upgraded ESS/MSS.
Again we are planning to upgrade Portal to another version .so here my doubts are
1.Is it necessary to upgrade ESS/MSS everytime we upgrade portal(because ESS/MSS version = Portal version - 3 )
2.Do we need to do all the customisations again manually?
3.Is there anyway we can create copy of all the DCs which we want to customise and then do the customisations so that we dont need to redo all the work whenever we upgrade ESS/MSS
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Bala,
Usually, there are 3 (+1 ) types of patches that are done:
1. Kernel and JDK. This one is easy, can be done often. Affects perfomance, but rarely functionality.
2. Netweaver SPS. This one will update basic functionality, but in most cases will not affect ESS. Also can be done every 3 month.
3. ERP SPS. This one will affect ESS. You will be required to go through the cookbook. Backend HR component versions must match EP XSS. It makes sense, because EP XSS will call backend BAPIs and they should be of the same versions. Not very often I see ERP SPS applied every 3 month. One of the reasons is that user UI screens and procedure may change and the cycle of testing and user training rarely fits into 3 month.
+1. EHP, Enancement Packs. This is SAP effort to give a more granular aproach to functional changes. Basically your functional team will decide if it needs a new function and it will be possible to implement and activate it. If it happens that the function is HR and it affects XSS and it brings a new version, then yes, you will need to do XSS merge-update. It will be clear from the EHP docs. How often to do ESS related EHP? See 3. Keep in mind that EHP docs may give an impression that there is no impact until you "turn on" new function, but it is true for ABAP (with some exceptions), less so on the Java side.

Integration of webdynpro abap custom iview into standard ESS/MSS portal

Hello all,
Could anybody please throw light on how to integrate custom iview which is developed in Webdynpro ABAP into standard tab in MSS (Webdynpro java)
For example.I want to add few custom fields(which are mapped to infotype 0041) into general information link of MSS.these fields will be created in webdynpro abap.
or.
I want to create a new link under general information which pops up as a custom iview (which is create in webdynpro abap) .
please let me know how can i meet the above requirements.
Thanks in advance.

I am not really sure about your requirement. With my limited understanding of that , i think that you have few possibilities.
1. You can let the ess/mss application communicate with WDA application via a Poral event.
2. You can enhance the ESS WDJ component and use RFC destination to get the data from info type and build your own view in WDJ.

ESS/MSS custom services or modify standard service with WebDynpro Abap

Hi all,
what's the procedure to modify standard ESS/MSS or create new service with WebDynpro Abap.
Thanks.
Miki

Hi
First, The ISR Scenarios are not for iviews. They are just a part of a view. We can use webdynpro ABAP with the ISR Scenarios. We need to embed these forms into our webdynpro ABAP views and code accorsdigly to get the data. There are some standard components that are provided by SAP to handle ISR Forms with Webdynpro. Check these.

Custom ESS/MSS ROLE under ADMININTRATION workset - How to approach?

HI
Dear
ESS/MSS Experts,
We have a requirement with our client for a custom development ESS/MSS ROLE under ADMININTRATION workset for the functionality.
ADMINISTRATION(workset)
This workset provides administrative information regarding an employee. The services available under this workset are:
INBOX(service)under--->This service will show the SAP inbox for an employee. The details shown on the screen are,
u2022     Inbox

u2022     Trash
how can i implement in portal...
I am New From Portal consultant so kindly please help me its very much helpful.
Regards,
Rafi Shaik

inbox you meant UWL ie universal worklist
first note that SAP provides standard roles and you can copy it to z role and modify it accordingly and remove the roles
as per required/
For ESS, the standard composite role is SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP. You can make a Z copy of this role and customize it per your needs.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a4/93554056bd1f24e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
There is no standard role provided for MSS applications. You will need to build one as per your needs.
See SAP Note 844639 for more details.

SAP Portal Custom Themes to change ESS/MSS UI Look and feel , possible ?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the look and feel of the UI controls of the ESS/MSS applications have to be different - Jazzy
I know XSS homepage framework is for the customisation of Areas, Sub Areas. What I am more interested is only the look and feel UI of ESS/MSS applications.
If I change the standard theme of portal using Theme Editor and create a new custom theme with different back ground colors, fonts, sizes for all the UI controls,.Will the customised Theme apply on the standard ESS / MSS screens ? Also my doubt is we are using EHP3 and I am not sure how many are Webdynpro java based or webdynpro Abap based.
Will the theme apply to both WDA and WDJ application UI controls?
Any inputs in this regard will be of great help. thanks in advance.

Can we user custom subtype 9001 in 0105 to access ESS&MSS portal?

Hi,
I know by default the standard function modules of ESS will look for a user id in 0105 with subtype 0001. But 0001 has been used by some other portal pointing the same back end. we cannot use the same user id for ESS.
For ESS, can we use custom subtype for the user ids? Is there any configuration to handle this scenario? How do we link the new portal should validate the user ids in custom subtype.
Advance thanks for your valuable input.
cheers
Jayanthi

Of course you can have custom subtypes for 0105 but the issue in your case always in all programmes0105 0001 subtype
is checked so i would recommend not to substitute 0001 with 9001 instead use 9001 for some other purposes
it will be easier.

Custom ESS/MSS iview question

Hi all,
The requirement is to create a custom ESS/MSS iview under one of the worksets in portal. For example I am creating a custom Beneifts iview under the Benefits workset.
I have to get the user personnel number to get the corresponding data in the WD application that i am creating. Where do i get this value from?
My assumption: It is stored as a global variable in a different WD component and i have to reuse the component in my new application to get the corresponding variable
I have tried my best to make the question clear. let me know if this needs to be more clear.
Thanks in advance,
Reddy

Hi Reddy,
There might be some portal events raised when a employee is selected. You should subscribe this event in your custom component and work on.
I do not know if the following information useful for you.
SAP note -- https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1112733 -- with Portal Eventing code to subscribe:
subscribe_to_event("urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch",
EVENT = "selection_changed".

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

Issue while accessing two web-dynpro application, ESS/MSS and Payroll

Hi All,
We are facing one Critical Server Issue in our systems. Following is the scenerio:-
Our Portal system was having one Application known as German Payroll application. Before last two week one more application of ESS/MSS i.e. Time Management has been deployed to our system.
Now the user has two application with two different roles in the portal.
When user try to navigate from Time Management Application to German Payroll application or German Payroll Application to Time Management Application then they are facing Critical Server Error issue.
But once the user try to refresh using CTRL+F5 then the problem got resolved.
========================================================================
German Payroll applications back end server details:P95.
Time Management Application back end server details: P23
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1-login to portalgot to Employee self service tab-wait for 3-5mins

JCo Pool Configuration :
Maximum Pool Size: 5
Maximum Connections: 10
Connection Timeout (msec.): 10000
Maximum Waiting Time (msec.): 30000
===================================================================
After more analyzing the situation we found that one web dynrpo component i.e. pcui_gp~xssutils is common to both the application and it is configured to standard JCO i.e.
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics
SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
My thinking is that this component is giving us the problem.
Please provide your comments and solution to rectify this issue.
Also, let me know in case you need more information.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
First try a very simple application with nothing in it just one text saying Hello World
Run it and see what happens.
Also check if your url uses FQDN name. something like https:
company.name.co:50000\.......
If you do not use the FQDN it will always show a script error on the bottom and some functions will not work e.g
dropdowns.

Yuval.
