Emplolyee Self Serivce (ITS Version) - ESS settings for specific users such as Office, Time Management, Travel, Training, Benefits, Jobs, Payment, Jobs, Personal Information, Skills, Life and Work Events etc.
All the best,

Hi
This class contains three methods.
IF_XSS_SER_PROXY_SERVICE~GET_SERVICES
IF_XSS_SER_PROXY_SERVICE~GET_SERVICE_DATA
IF_XSS_SER_PROXY_SERVICE~SET_CONTEXT_PARAMETERS
GET_SERVICE_DATA method contains FM HRXSS_SER_READTABRE which has a importing parameter. For more details please goto SE24 transaction and check the proxy class.
Thank you.

Are Service Keys are some BAPI/RFC?

Hello Experts,
I am going through some material on implementing Ess/MSS in SAP ERP HCM and it somwhere says as the Service Key. For e.g. the Service KEy for Personal Dat aiView is EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_PERSDATA05. Is this servie key is some backend table service where the data has been stored? And can I call this service key EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_PERSDATA05 in some other application...say WD application if it's BAPI/RFC?
Please clarify this doubht..that will be really helpful.
Thanks, RN

Hi,
This is the FM which gets called to render the Area page in the ESS role
HRXSS_GET_MENUDATA
Within this FM you can find the related FMs to read the Services.
And the table where you can find the entries is V_T7XSSSER
To find the exact table navigate to below location
IMG-> Cross Application Components -> Homepage Framework->Services->Define Services-> Define
Services (Add Entries) -> select print button and see the table V_T7xss*
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pramod

Create new Travel Plan ESS Service

Hello ,
We have just deployed standard ESS content on EP7.0 and when I goto Travel and Expense i don't see the link for Create new Travel Plan in the Subarea 'Create New' although the service key for Travel Plan exists in the HomePage Framework and is assigned to that Subarea ...
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Check if the 'Create plan' service is grouped for any specific country? Else, check the country groupings and then login into Portal to find the specific link.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

Current Date in Service Description of ESS Services

Hi All,
We want to display current date in the Text of Service Description.
In SPRO, -> personnel Management -> ESS -> General Settings -> Home page for ESS -> Services -> Define Services, I tried using &DATE& but it shows the date, 28.02.2011 and not the current date i.e 14.03.2011.
The server date is correct, i.e. 14.03.2011
Can you please help, how can I display current date in the service description.
Cheers!!!
Umang

Hi Umang,
You can use Proxy class to append the time dynamically to the service description.
Refer to the blog
/people/amir.madani/blog/2007/01/05/create-dynamic-xss-homepages-with-static-services-using-a-simple-proxy-class
Revert if you face any difficulty with this.

ESS services date and time format?

Hi,
How can we change the date and time format displayed on some of the ESS services like addresses, LR screen? Currently I see US format date MM/DD/YYYY and time is in european format 12,50 instead of dot(.).
I tried changing the browser setting to UK but it didn't work. Any other suggestion please?
Thanks
Praveen

I tried to create a simple WD application with just date control UI element, I can see the date format is displayed based on my browser setting. If I change it to US in my browser locale, it date format changes to US date format, if I change it to UK locale the date format is UK based.
Only my ESS/MSS applications are always displayed as US format. I checked at the iView level and I can only see ForcedRequestLanguage but I cannot see ForcedRequestCountry property so I'm unable to set any country specific details here. When I look at the JCo connection language tab, I see the
Current locale: en
Default VM locale: en_US
I think this is where change is required. However I changed following JCo languages from en to en_UK but still no luck
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
Backend is checked as posted above.
I checked below which is the second precendence in determining locale
Portal mandatory locale -- open file prtDefault.properties on server under
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC#/j2ee/cluster/server#/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/system/properties/
I cannot find below mandatory parameters in the prtDefault.properties file
request.mandatorylanguage
request.mandatorycountry
However, I found this
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
Is this something I can change? Or should I replace or should I add mandatoryLanguage/country?
Can this file be edited through NWA or should this file be edited manually at the file system level?
Please advice.
Thanks
Praveen

Changing ESS services

Hi Guys
We have an ESS application running against a stand-alone ITS server and an R/3 4.7 system.
My problem is that I want to make some changes to some of the services and I can't figure out how to do it.
Eg. in the ESS app "Personal Data" (PZ13) I want to make some of the fields read-only, I want to remove other fields completely and add some new fields to the view.
How is this possible?
Regards,
Jacob Vennervald

Hi Guys
I've gotten an answer from SAP, and they say the following:
"I have managed to shed some light on the problems you are experiencing with table T588M_ESS.
The main problem is that the table is not read by the relevant ESS service. Actually, the table is only read by very very few services altogether. Therefore it is not possible to make any modifications to field attributes that way.
It is unfortunate that ESS does not provide all of the functions you use and require in R/3 <=4.7; with regard to T588M_ESS in particular. This is because the initial design logic behind ESS was to make it as simple, ergonomically efficient and user friendly as possible. It therefore shouldn't be all that surprising that you cannot configure ESS the way you can configure R/3. You cannot customize the ESS screen via T588M_ESS.
Things will become easier with ESS as featured in ERP 2005, where modification free changes can be done using the Web Dynpro personalization tool."
So the best way to make changes to ESS applikations in the code as Jothi says.
For the Address (PZ13) iView it is possible to change attributes on the input fields by using table T588M (NOT T588M_ESS).
In transaction SE93 you can copy the PZ13 transaction.

Jacob Vennervald

I Think I have to add a parameter sap.xss.BaseConfigurationID (PCD FPM View) to application properties. Is it mandatory to add FPM View which is created in PCD to Application Properties. Is there any other way to avoid this procedure?
Thanks,

Initializing LdapContext with custom kerberos service key

I use sasl kerberos authentication to access my ldap server (openldap). But when using JNDI, the client figures out the kerberos key for it self by a reverse DNS lookup.
If I connect to ldap server ldap.my.server and the DNS says the ip of ldap.my.server has a differend domain name on a reverse lookup, say longnumbered.domain.name. So, it wil access the kerberos key ldap/longnumbered.domain.name@DOMAIN and not lda/ldap.my.ser@DOMAIN.
Is there a way to tell the JNDI client to use a different service key and not the one generated whit a reverse DNS lookup?

Would also be interested in an answer on this as JNDI / GSSAPI appears to fail if DNS forward / reverse is not set correctly.

Fetch ESS services for HR Administrator

Hi,
Our client has a requirement to fetch the ESS services for the HR administrator so that in case the employee is unable to update details through ESS, the HR administrator can do it on the employee's behalf.
The HR administrator should have the option to search for a particular employee/pernr, after which all the links for the ESS services associated with the selected pernr should be displayed. The HR admin should then be allowed to select any of the services and update the required employee info.
Please let me know what are the customizations that need to be done to capture this requirement.
TIA.

You can use something callend General information or the Forms and processes
The only customisation is on how to select the empoyees for the Admin on what criteria in your case
All the services are available like leave request or working time or personal data \

Modifying ESS Service

I have couple questions.
PZ31_EWT is the replacement for the old ESS Service PZ31. In the dropdown after I select internet service, I do not see PZ31_EWT. However I see PZ31_EWT under transaction code for the development class PPPE_WWW.
I want to change the way the frames are layed out on the portal for PZ31_EWT.
So how do I modify the service ? In the HTML template do I write my own code to change the layout ?
How does this code get picked up along with the generated source code ?

Hi Rachel,
I am trying to implment PZ31_EWT for the Portal.
How did you get is to display in the Portal? Did you create an ITS service of the transaction?
I have created ZPZ31_EWT as an ITS service and set it up in SICF but I can't see the Qualifications tree on the left.
Is it poss you can let me know details of parameters you used in SICF.
TIA

ESS Service PZ02

Hi,
How can we update the mailing address when the user updates the permanent address in ESS. what coding changes should I make to accomplish this??
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
What version are you on? Not all ESS services hit the
PA 30 Infotype User exit ZXPADU02. Depending on the country grouping, some of the ESS services have separate Module Pool Programs & the infotypes are updated via BAPI calls. For PZ02, the program is SPLEHU1 for US. If you are on 47 or a lower version, you can copy PZ02 into a custom service together with the Module Pool program. In the Z version of the include.. use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to update the mailing address immediately after the function call to 'BAPI_ADDRESSEMPUS_CHANGE'.

Suresh Datti

ESS Service - Skill Profile Update - Qualification Validity - Enable BEGDA

Dear Expert,
Is there way to give the qualification valid from to date through ESS when employee add his skill?
We have qualification catalogue u2018Work Permitu2019, Qualification as u2018Countriesu2019 and defined the scale u2018Permitted and Not Permittedu2019.
Employee need to add this skill with valid date for his work permit.
Is this option available in Standard ESS?
u2026Naddy

There are qualification like License/Visa need begin and end date in which Employee shoule be able to give/input validity date. I would expect that ESS service for Skill update should have it. I am not the one who is facing this requirement first time. I would like to know if there is any way to enhance ESS service for Skill update to enable begin and end date.
The function module 'RHPP_Q_PROFILE_WRITE' has table structure HRPE_RELAQ. It has 2 sets of valid dates. any info on this? Is ESS service for Skill update calls this FM?
...Naddy

Service key

I am trying to connect to the internet at a small company where I am working they have given me a wireless password and the type of connection is WEP, but they have a service key of 3 and I don't see anywhere in the settings I can put a service key in. Has anyone delt with this before?

No, they have given me a password and this is in addition to the password. There IT guy is in California and I am at their office in Texas. My co-worker has a windows compluter and was able to find it in his settings, but I can't see anything the the mac settings. He changed the security key from a 1 to a 3 in a drop down toggle.

Service Key in customization of MSS - To enable org chart to be viewed

Dear experts,
I would like to get the details of Service key of the Organizational Chart Launcher application configured in the SAP back-end system - Nakisa. Where can we get the service key details about Nakisa
The service key is required to be specified in portal iview - What is this service key with respect to Nakisa.
Thanks & Regards
HKishan

Dear Luke,
I have completed the portal configuration - The scenario for Nakisa implementation that we are trying to achieve is as follows:
A manager u2013 utilizing Manager Self-Service (MSS) in the SAP Enterprise Portal u2013 selects an organizational chart display link in the browser, which initiates data extraction from the SAP system. The extracted data is then passed via HR-OCI 6.0 to the third-party vendoru2019s organizational charting application (Nakisa).. Using this data, the third-party vendoru2019s application builds an organizational chart for displaying a graphic representation.
User clicks on the link in portal and the data corresponding to his org unit and the org units below his org unit is got from sap via HR-OCI 6.0 to the third-party vendoru2019s organizational charting application (Nakisa). -> This is displayed as org chart in Nakisa --> Am i correct in this understanding - Is this possible ?
Thanks & regards
HKishan
