Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
  You should first upload the picture i the MIME repository.
(GOTO se80, click mime repository and add MIME object i.e in ur case an gif image)
Go to T7xssserres, when you create the resource for the picture, give the path if the mime object in the 'Directory path' property of the resource.
say you have added the image under 'SAP/BC/PUBLIC/ICONS' in the mime repository and the name of the file is newicon.gif, then while creating resource, give the 'directory path' as 'SAP/BC/PUBLIC/ICONS' and the object name as 'newicon.gif'.
hope it is clear for u.

    What's the type of appilication you have developed, is it WDABAP based or ...
    Ask your portal consultant to create an iview for your application based on your application type (I.e WD ABAP/Transaction code etc) and assign that to page and then under role of ESS for Work & Time workset in portal content admin.

    I am trying to add an ABAP webdynpro page to the ESS overview screen, I have managed to add URLs without a problem and have found a tutorial to add Java Webdynpro pages however this does seem to apply to ABAP webdynpro.

    Julian,
    what problem are you facing in adding.
    you can create an iview for the WDA application and in the HomePage Framework you can create resources and services which will point to that iview and add that service to the ESS Overview.

  • ESS Overview for multiple systems

    Hi Guys,
    Currently we have EP 7 portal, with 3 R/3 clients at the back end, 1 client for each department, so for each ESS iview, we need to have 3 copies with  different property "Application Parameter", such as:
    sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources:001&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData:001
    sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources:002&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData:002
    sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources:003&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData:003
    but this setting is not working for ESS Overview iview, no matter which clients we specify, it will still point to default client (Which is used for user authentication), if we click on the link on Overview, it will go to the iview of default client.
    Any idea on how to specify client for overview iview?
    thanks a lot with rewarding points

    Gauri,
    I don't think that he having problems in creating R3 systems in the portal landscape. He can't access 3 different R3 system with the ESS/MSS application.
    The problem in this case is, that the ESS business package is using predefined JCos like Human_Resources, etc. The usage of these JCos is coded into the source code of the application.
    I believe it's not possible to use more than 1 HCM system with the ESS business package in 1 portal. Maybe this is an solution:
    create for every HCM 1 portal: 3 HCM = 3 Portals
    To facilitate the access to the 3 portal, create a FPN (Federated Portal Network).
    1 Consumer, 3 Producer (or 1 Consumer with 1 ESS and 2 producers for the other 2 ESS / HCM)

    (1) Best way....store your pics somewhere (like KM for instance which is quick and easy). Config your own Homepage Framework server (to point to the location of pics), then create a resource in config for each pic (giving you server id you configed and any other path info), then assign YOUR resource as the pic to use for the area. This is similar to storing pages as detailed here:
    Using KM documents for XSS Area Page text
    (2) This can be either (a)the resource has been defined with a window parameter of "_blank" which means "open in a new window" or (b) as the above user said, controlled on the iView of the service (which is rare but is possible).
    Hope this helps, Vijay!

  • ESS Overview page

    Hi all,
    Please can you help?
    We have to create an new Area Page on the ESS Overview page in the portal for the Universal Worklist.
    I have created a Workset containing the Universal Worklist iView in the portal and have added the Workset to the ESS role directly.
    I have provided the link of UWL Workset to the HR consultant to add to link to the new Area Page in SPRO.
    When we try to access the Universal link directly from the Overview page it takes to a new window that looks exactly like the u201Cmainu201D ESS Overview page but it only contains the UWL area page with an icon. Instead of opening up the page to see the UWL.
    In other words it does the following ESS > Overview page > UWL Overview page.  instead of ESS > Overview page  > UWL iview
    Many thanks
    Jo-lize Dekker

    Hi,
    The behaviour you are facing is standard as the HR consultant has created Area page, Sub Area page etc. Ask the HR consultant to select the option "Quick Link" for the UWL resource she has created. This will present a direct link to the UWL iview in the Home page.
    But the UWL overview page link will also be there and I don't think u can avaoid it.
    Cheers

  • ESS overview icons

    I want to change the icons used for the ESS overview.
    I know that the icons are referenced as a picture resources within the definition of the area pages; and I know that the resources are defined within the definition of resources - all set within IMG. 
    What I can't workout is how to add my own icons.
    I've played around with defining server resources and defining resources for types URL, File and Http.
    But I don't seem to be able to point to any of my own pictures.
    Can anyone bail me out?

    Hi gurus,
    i want to add a new tab on the ESS overview page which on click  will  open one web page (Http://sdn.sap.com)
    i have created resource and given the url in "URL for Resource Object"  and

    but still is is not appearing in ESS overview page.
    tell me where i went
    Regards

    You must have created a resource for this new link in R/3 Homepage framework...
    Now you must have created a service using this resource....
    Now assigned this service to sub-area
    And then assign this sub area to an area....
    Now assign this area to used group area page...that already contain existing areas....
    If you are missing on any above step than you will face the problem that you are now getting.
    Tell us which step you are missing on...I will elaborate further.

  • We want to hide purchasing from ESS overview page

    Hi experts,
    Please suggest me the best procedure to remove the purchasing from ess overview page . where i can do that . we are not having NWDS . Can we do it from Portal ? if yes ? how ?
    Please let me know
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Its actually quite easy, you just have to select yes in "invisible navigation area"
    Steps:
    1. go to Content Administration > Portal Content
    2. Akses the folder Portal Content > Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Employee Self Service > Roles > double click Employee Self Service  ( i'm assuming you are using standard ess role, if not the navigate to your custom ESS role)
    3. New window show on the right pane
    4. Double Click Purchasing, property editor is now updated showing property editor - purchasing
    5. Scroll down until you find "invisible navigation areas", select Yes
    6. Save and Relogin
    Hope it helps

    Just a suggestion.If somehow you crate one more iveiw and add it to the bzcard page then i think you could dispaly both the bizcard and the other wd application on the same ui.

  • Reports overview page for BI Portal looks like ESS overview page

    Hi Experts,
    i am implimenting FPN environment with BI portal,I have lot of BI reports roles in my system,now i have a requirement to develop an overview page having all BI reports,it looks like a ESS overveiw page.How can I create this page,can any body please suggest me?
    Thanks ,

    Hi Kiran,
    As you wrote "i selected different pic from standard list,but it is displaying one standard pic only."
    I hope you want to change the picture of Headings only ie your workset in above mentioned case right ??
    To change the picture go the role->then select added workset -> then open properties of worset ->now look for the
    Pictogram  properties of workset here from drop down select your desired pic and save the changes.
    Now open portal the look for the changes ie new logo for the heading.
    If  new picture is not coming the try to clear the portal caches and check again .... other way to get the changes remove the
    assigned role from user and change the role id and assign to user again now you will get new changes
    without clearing  the cache.
    how to add custom pic?
    To add custom pic you need to add the new pictures in the par file called  com.sap.portal.navigation.mimeservice.par
    So download the this par file from ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp this location from Portal support , even you can copy from server too.
    Now import the par file in NWDS and copy your new pic in images directory ..now build the par file again and
    upload it on portal. But here new images will only appear in drop down list when you portal is restarted.
    I hope you know how to import par in NWDS  don't forget to add required jar file in both the lib folders.
    There can be other way also to change the picture where portal restart is not needed . So if you don't want to change in this way then search for other method and let me know also.

  • How to change the look of the ESS Overview page

    Hi,
    We are implementing ESS/MSS and would like to change the look (font size and color, background color, ...) of only the Overview page (Area Group Page). From what I understand when a theme (css) is used it is applied to an entire Portal Desktop, not to a single page. And since the Overview page is a Web Dynpro application (part of the Floor Plan Manager), it doesn't seem possible to change the look besides using themes.
    Of course we would like to keep the possibility to configure this page using IMG so rebuilding it from scratch is not really an option.
    Any idea how this could be done?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thanks Srikanth,
    As far as I know it is not possible to change the font size or color of the overview page using IMG.
    But I found a way of applying a theme to a single Web Dynpro application running inside the portal, like the Overview page. You need to specify the theme in the iView property editor using the Application parameter sap-cssurl. The feature is there and more or less documented, the only problem I am still not able to make it work, the portal theme is always used. It is also possible to change the theme of <i>all</i> the Web Dynpro applications running on the server (by changing WD a property in the J2EE Visual Admin, see this <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=367022">post</a> for example) but this is not what I want to do.
