ESS Services NOW an in ERP2004

Dear SAP-Team!
A client of us wants to implement SAP ESS. At the moment he is on Release 4.6C.
Two of his requirements are:
1. Approval of overtimes with workflow functionality
2. Adjustmensts of clock-in/clock-out times with workflow functionality
I found out that the second point (clock-in/clock-out times) will be realized in release ERP2004. Do you have any experience with self-developped solutions in a similar case (costs, problems by upgrading to ERP2004, ITS vs. Portal system architecture ...)?
Does SAP plan to realize the first point (overtimes) also in release ERP2004? I think this is a usual requirement in HR-systems and I am wondering, why this is not considered yet in the SAP standard solution of ESS.
Greetings from Linz/Austria!

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!!!

Hi Umang,
You can use Proxy class to append the time dynamically to the service description.
Refer to the blog

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

Thanks,

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,
Damodhar.

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

Has anyone ever integrated Cisco UCCX 8.5 with a ticketing system called Service Now (http://www.servicenow.com/)
I have a customer who is now using this system and would like to integrate UCCX 8.5 for screen pops etc.

Service Now ODBC connection in Universe

We're using "Service Now" product.
We installed their propriety ODBC and able to connect in Universe Designer (BOXI3.1 SP5.3).
We see table structure, but no data is retrieved.
Crystal reports is working perfectly with this ODBC.
We know it is not supported with BO product line, but really like to make this work...
Did anyone used this ODBC before with Designer / WebI?
Can SBO or PRM file change do the trick?

Hi,
well...i think you wont get any help here as this is, as already pointed out by you, not supported.
I resume you use the generic ODBC Driver in the Designer? Maybe you want to try the generic JDBC Driver? If this "Service Now" Product has a JDBC Interface?!
Regards

SCCM Integration with SNOW (Service Now)

Hello,
I have implemented SCCM 2012 R2 for our client. Now I have to work with the Service Now(SNOW) team on SCCM integration with SNOW. I have no idea how this is done and what input/involvement is needed from my side. Can some one please let me know how is this
done. Are there any scripts that I need to provide the SNOW team?

Service now scrolling

hi all,
We use Service now as out IT Support tool, which is web based an uses frames and I want to use it from my iPad (3).
Apparently the two finger gesture to scroll down lists the frames doesn't work in this tool - at least it doesn't for me.
Does anyone here have experience with service now? Any help is much appreciated.
There's a demo site available at http://demo.service-now.com
Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for posting.
There are currently limitations using ServiceNow on iPad with Safari. The mobile view is supported but offers limited functionality. UI11 and the previous UI have scrolling and usability issues like you encountered.
The good news is we're working on a much improved iPad solution that will address those limitations.
I'm happy to share a preview. I'd also like to understand how you use ServiceNow in general and specifically what key behaviors are the top priorities for your iPad users.
Reply to this or contact me offline (dan.turchin at service-now.com) and let me know when you're available.
Thanks,
-dan
