ESS MSS views

Hi Experts,
I implement these views in the portal, and able to see some HR details.
What I need is to find out how further implementation, changing etc.... can be done.
any links or data will be great.
Thanks,
Limor

Hi Limor,
For ESS MSS customization there are differenet approches avaialble, depend upon the leval of customizations, like if you wants to change the lable or hide a field the you can achive the same using iView personalization for the just check wiki with ESS you get lots of material available there.
Secondly you can do the customization with NWDI, this is complety different approch then the previous one. It require lots off efforts too. For that just look for
JDI/NWDI Cookbook for ESS/XSS (Note 872892) you will get all the information you want.
For easy access just log on to http://host:port/nwa -> deploy and changes -> configuration wizard -> change management service (CMS): Modufy a Software Component there you will get all the link require for ESS/XSS customization.

ESS / MSS - is there a way to view Histories of FORMs submitted and processed?

Hi,
We're implementing the ESS / MSS RDS EP 6 (version 3.606 SAP Enterprise Portal scenario).
The project also includes the custom development of a number of Forms that will be integrated into ESS / MSS via iViews.
The customer requires a "HISTORY View" of FORMs for the ESS and MSS users.
It is the historic FORMs themselves that they want to be able to display - or as much of the Key information from the Forms that they can identify specific Form submissions (and not the related Workflows for these forms).
I'm told that there is no HISTORY view for Forms. The history functions for Workflows (in the UWL) is not really suitable for users but only for more technical analysis of workflows.
Does anyone know of a way of getting these history views of Forms without resorting to a custom development? e.g. is there a standard Report or a way of enabling Histories to be maintained and accessible?
Kind Regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
I think the best we could get is Process Browser application.
Can you refer this link and see if this helps.
Also try the WD Application - ASR_PROCESSES_DISPLAY.

ESS MSS use view transaction instead of edit

Hi.
I have 2 iViews in ESS MSS, in the same page.
each of them execute transction PA30 (Edit) which makes lock
How do I config each iView to execute transaction PA20 (View) instead of PA30
Thanks

Hi,
If it is a SAP Transaction iView, you just have to open the iView and change the following property : Transaction Code.
If you need more more information regarding Transaction iViews, here's the link on help.sap.com : [Creating Transaction iViews|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/88/266a3e54a2e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm].

ESS / MSS - HR Functional Point of View

Dear Friends,
I am HR functional consultant and i am new to ESS/MSS. Now we have a requirement. Clients current SAP version is 4.6c and in that they have implemented ESS through Workplace 2.1. Now they are going for an upgrade to mySAP ERP 2005 (ECC). ESS also they want to migrate to Enterprise Portal 7.0.
As a HR consultant what would be my role.
Migration assessment is already done and i am asked to understand the current functionalities and the new one in EP 7.
My task is
1. to find whether the new functionalities in new ESS version match the clients existing one.
2. If not what customizations need to be done to satisfy their requirements.
3.Or if its not possible in new version then we have to convince the client.
Since i am new to ESS / MSS i would request experts to guide me in this situation.
Thanks and Regards,
Nelson

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.

Where Web Dynpro Java version of Adobe Forms are used in ESS MSS

Hi, SDN Expert.
I am working on research the use of Adobe Interactive Forms in the current processes of HCM ESS MSS.
We are on ECC5.0, EP7.0, and ESS MSS SP21. We are in the midst of upgrading to ECC6.0.
Do you know where Web Dynpro Java version of Adobe Forms are used in ESS MSS are used? OR are they all in Web DYnpro ABAP version in ECC6.0?
Thanks,
KC

ESS/MSS for International Country grouping

Hi all,
Scenario: We are implementing Portal ESS/MSS on ECC6 and have loaded the Best Practices with the below components.
SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 SP12 with the following additional software components
     BP ERP05 Common Parts 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5COM)
     BP ERP05 ESS 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5ESS))
     BP ERP05 MSS 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5MSS)
     SAP ESS 600 SP08 (SAP_ESS)
     SAP MSS 600 SP08 (SAP_MSS)
     SAP PCUI_GP 600 SP08 (SAPPCUI_GP)
Now, the ESS and MSS is to be implemented for a Country Grouping 99 - International and not any specific country.
Problem: The iViews are not loading for International, when the R/3 config setting is for 99. While it seems to be calling the right iViews for 10 - USA or 12 - Belgium.
Can you please assist on how to link up the Users to the roles and correct iViews.
Thank you.
Sandeep

Hi Anil,
Steps in brief:
0. Once you have implemented the Busin. Packages from SAP you will get all the Portal Content which is country specific. This is the same content being called from R/3 using country specific resources.
1. Go to R/3 -> Pers Admin -> ESS -> General Settings -> Home Page for SS -> Services -> Define Country Srvcs.
Go into Define Country specific srvcs and you will see the view V_T7XSSSERSRVCG
2. This table contains all the country specific implementations offerred by SAP. You can use some of these and copy/create for CGrpng 99 as below. This should be based on what services you want to use on ESS.
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_ADDRESS         99    EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_ADDRESS05       99    EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_BE_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_BANK            99    EMPLOYEE_BANK_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_BANK05          99    EMPLOYEE_BANK_BE_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_FAMMEMBER       99    EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_FAMMEMBER05     99    EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_BE_SERVICE05
3. Also make sure your CGrpng in Pers Area/ PSA is set to 99, basically Employee shold belong to 99.
Hope this helps in figuring out a few more things !!
Good luck

ESS/MSS customization

Hi,
We are planning customize ESS/MSS (version 600) on EP 7 SP9
we created new Track in NWDI as explained in the following blog
ESS/MSS Customization Make it Simple
Then we added software component ESS 600 and MSS 600 in our track and checked in
SAP-JEE 7.00, SAP_JTECHS 7.00, SAP_BUILDT 7.00, SAP_PCUI_GP 600 and SAP_ESS 600 file to track.
I could be able view source code in NWDS inactive dcs. But by creating a new project i got following error message
"some used DC's are not available locally. You have to sync used DC's for this project.
The point is that i couldn't able to view the software component SAP-JEE 7.00, SAP_JTECHS 7.00, SAP_BUILDT 7.00
and SAP_PCUI_GP 600 in active dcs.
Please suggest me.

Regarding ESS MSS in sap hr

Dear Experts,
The client has Indian Payroll and Organization Management implemented in R/3.Now the client wants to go for ESS and MSS module.I am new to the ESS MSS module.As a demo I have asked to configure it in IDES.Beofre configuring it in IDES does EP consultant have any role in that.Please tell me what role does EP consultant have and in which phases?. What are the dependencies of SAP HR consultant on EP consultant and ABAP Consultant
Also to start my configuration in ESS MSS please guide me from where to begin with.In case if u have any configuration documents,Please share. Does the SAP Press book on ESS MSS helps?. Where can I find relevant material for this configuration.
Thanks In advance

Hi,
Yes, EP consultant and ABAP consultant require for bit configuration.
SAP Press book will help upto certain but I would suggest refer SCN document to configure ESS and MSS.
Initial steps briefly:
1. Activate the business functions ( HCM_ESS_WDA_1 and HCM_MSS_WDA_1 if EhP5 using t code - SFW5.
2. Active the services ( Called as application) using T Code SICF. Here, EP consultant may require. But you can also do the same.
3. View the standard application (services) using test service option.
4. If you want to use Launch pad then configure ESS Role using LPD_CUST.
5. Copy standard ESS menu to ZESS and assign to application HR*ESS*MENU using SE80.
Here, you will require ABAPer.
6. Assign Portal ESS and MSS role to user.
7. Also assign SAP*ESS*EMPLOYEE role to ECC user using SU01/PFCG.
This are the major steps to start basic ESS and MSS application. Further you have to configure application configuration.
Hope this will help. Please let me know further details required.
Thanks,
Ketul

UWL Customisation for ESS/MSS

Hi,
We are using ESS/MSS mySAP ERP 2005 on EP7.0, ECC6.0. I ma running into some issues.
1) By default the tabs displayed in the Portal UWL are Alerts, Tasks,Notifications, Tracking. I want the Tasks to come up before Alerts. For this I tried Navigating to System Admin -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist & Workflow -> Click to Configure Item Types and Customize Views Using a Wizard -> Customize the look of the UWL main page -> Next -> But the page does not have any dropdown.
Is this change to be done directly in the XML itself??.
2) I would also like to remove the "You may also" section and "Resubmit" button which appears in Portal UWL. Is there a way to achive this??
[UWL Screenshot|http://img229.imageshack.us/my.php?image=uwlvc3.png]
Help/suggestions will be appreciated.
Chintan

Nikhil,
Yes I was able to do this by editing the XML configuration and reversing the order for Tasks and Alerts in the XML.

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.

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
Best wishes

Dharani

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,
Vinoth.M
