ESS MSS Upgrade to 2004s SP 11

Hi ,
Currently we are on 2004s SP9 and intend to move to SP11.
I have a couple of questions here. WE are using mySAP ERP BP for ESS and MSS with SP 6 ( i.e compatible with 2004s SP9). We made lot of changes to some web dynpro code and went live 2 months back. Now as part of the upgrade if the basis team installs SP8 for BP's ESS and MSS(2004s SP11) through JSPM/SDM on the EP J2EE engine, will it override all the custom code that we have done? I surely guess so. In that case do we not install SP8 for BP's ESS and MSS through JSPM but rather follow the 4 track methodology for upgrades and upgrade ESS MSS through NWDI rather than JSPM?
I am sorry if i had confused you guys, this is the first time we doing the upgrade after go-live .. hence the basic doubts.
Any note or reference for upgrade startegy will be pretty useful
thanks alot in advance

Hi Raj,
You will deploy the latest component of the ESS/MSS through the JSPM. So while deploying the component in JSPM you also have to select the NWDI control according the runtime system. JSPM will then recognize which component is managed by the NWDI. ESS/MSS modified component and will only be transported to the EPS transport directory without deployment, where as the unmodified component (like PUCI_GP) is deployed.
The other way of updating is also through the NWDI where you even do not use the JSPM. So if you do not want your custom code to override by the new SP level, then you need to go through NWDI.
Thanks & regards

ESS/MSS Upgrade

Hello ,
We are on EP7.0 ECC6.0 and about to upgrade to stack 11 which has ESS/MSS SP11 .....what is the procedure now to upgrade to SP11 for ESS/MSS using JSPM so that it does not overwrite our custom changes done in the old track.....
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I have followed this note and also the Cookbook attached to it ....after doing all this and redoing the custom changes in the new track and moving it to the DEV system ....when I goto the System Components and check for the SP of the SAP_ESS component ...it says SP0 instead of SP11...
Please help..

ESS/MSS Upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 Question..

Hi Gurus,
During the upgrade SAP R/3 would be upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. The HR module on this R/3 has - Org Management, Benefits, Time Administration and Payroll. They use ESS based on ITS. My question is when they go from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 - would they have to let go the ITS based ESS transactions and go with Web Dynpro based ESS? If yes then what happens to all the customizations they have done to ITS based ESS transactions. Would they have to be redone on the Web Dynpro based ESS?
Thanks,
Soniya Singh

yes You need to do different customisations for the Web dynpro since ECC 6 is better with WD, ITS functionality wont work here. Please check the training material for the MSS which is very exhaustive.
But if you continue to use ITS then your old customisation should work but then again there will be changes..better to move wholly to WD

SSO not working in ESS/MSS in ERP 2004

I have installed the Business Packages ESS 60.2 and MSS 60.1.2 on EP6 SP9. Another server has the Web AS ABAP 6.40 system and J2EE running the ESS and MSS Web Dynpro apps. It all works fine without SSO. When I change the JCO Destinations for the application data to ticket instead of username/password I get the following error on testing:
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received
This error also occurs when accessing the webdynpro app directly or through the portal. NB. The portal SSO does work in the case of calling an R/3 transaction or calling webdynpro app iview that does not in turn make an RFC call to the ABAP system. I have followed the SAP help on "Scenario: SSO Between Portal, Web Dynpro, and ABAP Systems".
Any ideas appreciated
Fergus

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

Upgrade path for ESS/MSS business package while upgrading to ECC 6.0

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.

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.
<b>com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalApplicationNotFoundException: Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.appdesigner.api_framework

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.

Upgrading to EHP 4.0 - Have few queries on ESS/MSS, Erecruitment.

Hi,
We are trying to upgrade our portal to EHP 5.0. We have ESS/MSS and few webdynpro java and webdynpro abap applications on the portal. These are the few queries I have
1) ESS services : employee search, personal data, LMS(Webdynpro Java) are on EHP 3 as of now. Will the applications remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP5?
2) ESS travel management(Webdynpro ABAP) are on EHP 2 as of now. Will this application remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP 5?
3) E Recruitment (BSP) is on EHP 3 Will this application remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP 5?
4) We have MSS services: ERec Manager and Appraisal. Will these services affect if we upgrade to EHP 5?
4) We have few custom applications in Webdynpro abap and webdypro java developed on portal. Will these effect if we upgrade to EHP 5?
Thanks.
Regards,
Priyanka.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Can you let me know which version of ESS/MSS and E-Recruitment business packages are applicable for the above version? And are these versions of ESS/MSS available in market now? Otherwise we can suggest our client to go for a upgrade to EHP 4.
Appreciate your input.

Need help on ESS/MSS BP's impact due to Upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC 6 EHP5

Hi,
We are upgrading from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 EHP5 and EP 6.0 SP23 to EP 7.0 EHP2 {7.02}.
Right now the ESS/MSS BP's used in the Existing system (ECC 5.0 and EP 6.0) are given below.
sap.com BP_ERP4ESS 60.2 SP0 (1000.60.2.0.0.20050419020715)
sap.com BP_ERP4MSS 60.1 SP1 (1000.60.1.1.0.20080618080447)
i.e.
sap.com SAP_ESS 100 SP16 (1000.100.0.16.0.20090316001300)
sap.com SAP_MSS 100 SP20 (1000.100.0.20.0.20081013052238)
sap.com SAPPCUI_GP 100 SP20 (1000.100.0.20.0.20081013052239)
We want to run the same BP's in the New environment (ECC 6.0 EHP5 and EP 7.0 EHP2 {7.02}).
If anyone has idea on this, Please let me know is it possible or any modifications to be done ?
Please send me some documentation to get clear idea.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok M.

Wdjava ess/mss code incompatibility while deploying in portal upgradation

Hi Everybody,
As part of our requirement,I have customized a standard ESS/MSS package and deployed in the current portal version and its working fine..Now when we are going for up gradation and deploying the code in the higher version of portal ,there is a incompatibility in the code.
So can any body help me in this issue.like what needs to done ,so that my customized code also works fine in the higher version of portal during upgradation
Regards
RRay

This happens because your NWDS development environment JRE version mismatch the portal JRE version.
Check which version you have in portal.
Compile your code in NWDS with same version of JRE.
In NWDS refer

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.

Slava
