ESS - Translations management

Hi everybody,
I have installed ESS into SAP Portal. ESS works fine with any languages (EN IT FR )
The standard interface displays messages like :
"Employee Self-Service applications provide you with
easy access to information and services for employees.
This page gives you an overview of the entire offering."
This is a standard text displayed into the framework page.
I would like to change this kind of text for languages EN IT FR.
I know there is a way to do this under the IMG menu :
Cross-Application Components -> Homepage Framework (Overview) -> Resources -> Define Resources
and
Cross-Application Components -> Homepage Framework (Overview) -> Header and Area Group Pages -> Define Area Group Pages
But It seems that is not the best practice.
I looked at the SE63 but all translations doesn't seems to be there (into table T7XSSSERSTRLAN there are only EN and DE texts)
Where can I change texts translation for any languages according the best practice ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your answer.
Actually, my standard translations works fine. By example when my browser's language is set to "English", message is :
"Employee Self-Service applications provide you with
easy access to information and services for employees.
This page gives you an overview of the entire offering."
But when my browser's language is set to "French", the message became :
"Les applications de l'Employee Self-Service vous permettent
d'accéder facilement aux informations et aux services destinés aux salariés.
Cette page présente une synthèse de l'ensemble de l'offre."
My problem is I can't find translations into R/3 (by example the french text) although I'm logged with FR language. And theses translations are existing (because my browser displays the relevant translation according to the language).
I would like to know where are stored theses SAP standard translations for ESS in order to modify them.
Are they stored into the java Package (portal side) ?
Thanks in advance

Webi/Deski report labels as part of Translation Manager in BOXI 3.1

Hi,
I am using Translation manager in BOXI 3.1. I am not able to see the report labels(not universe objects) in the translation manager when I open the report in the translation manager. I can only see the prompts in the translation manager. Is it possible to include labels also in the translation manager so that i can use different labels for different languages. eg:- report title, free cells etc....
If I cannot use report title in the translation manager I will not be able to use same report for different languages as the most visible part of the report will be report title.
Thanks
Shameer

Hi,
I have the same problem and I've worked a lot to find a solution to that.
Unfortunately, I guess "translation manager" (at the moment) can translate just webi prompts and it cannot do anything with labels and webi objects names.
I hope someone will contraddict me...

Translation Management Tool FWM 01014

We are currently using SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 SP5.
The Translation Management Tool is currently giving us the following error when attempting to import a folder from the System Repository:
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Unable to find servers in CMS <[email protected]>:6400 ... All such servers could be down or disabled by the administrator (FWM 01014).
As mentioned in the SAP Knowledge Base Article 1974085 the two listed causes are:
1. There is no available Translation Manager Service in one of the Adaptive Processing Servers
2. Request Port for the CMS is not opened in the users firewall
When viewing the services in the APS on the CMC it does show a Translation Service but there are no configuration options for it. As well, there is currently no firewall set up either on the server or the client machine.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks.

Hi,
1)Ping the Server machine with IP address and host name from the client machine. Ping the client machine with IP address and host name from the server machine.
2)If you are facing any issue then try making the host file entry on the server machine and client machine as below
<IP Address> <Hostname> <FQDN> (OF Server)
<IP Address> <Hostname> <FQDN> (OF Client)
Both the above entries to be made on the Server and client machine.

Impliment SAP Authentication for Translation manager BI 4.0

Hello Experts,
We are using SAP Authentication type to logon and to create the reports.The reports are created now.We would need to have these reports translated using Translation Manager (TM) but they have provided a user name on Enterprise login.
But when we try to import the reports it is getting failed and giving an error "InitInitilization Java" exception .
As when the clinet tool TM is opened it is not showing the SAP authentication it has (Enterprise,Windows AD,LDAP,Standalone) and no SAP.
So can you suggest about how to have the SAP login for TM also.We are using BI 4.0 SP 2.7.Reports are created using BEX as back end.
thanks in advance
Lekshmi

Hi Lekshmi,
In your Translation Manager web.xml look for Authentication.default and set sso.sap.primary and set the values as
<context-param>
<param-name>authentication.default</param-name>
<param-value>secSAPR3</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>sso.sap.primary</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Thanks,

BO Translation Manager - Import XLIFF problems

Hi All,
We are using Translation Manager for Universe translations and my client wants to use XLIFF formats for translation purposes. I am able to export the Universe file in XLIFF format and when I edit the same and try importing it, the translations are not getting updated properly. Here is the process that I followed:
1. Added Italian language in TM (Translation Manager)
2. Exported the Universe file to XLIFF format - the tags avaialble to me in the XLIFF files is given below.
<trans-unit id="universe:0:name">
<source>COPA</source>
<target state="needs-review-translation">COPA</target>
</trans-unit>
For a translated node, the tags available are:
<trans-unit id="class:1:name">
<source>Organization</source>
<target state="translated">Organization - Italy</target>
</trans-unit>
3. I imported this XLIFF file into the Universe and tried opening it in the TM.
Even though the "target state" tag is set to "translated", this is not getting reflected in the Universe.
Can someone let me know whether I am missing anything here or how exactly you go about changing the XLIFF file for the translations to get reflected?
Appreciated your inputs on the same as I have hit a dead-lock here and not able to proceed beyond this.
Thanks,
Ram

[BO 4.0 Client Tools] Problems with using Translation Manager

I have Installed SAP BO 4.0 with SP 2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server with a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 as repository Server.
I have patched the Server with the SP4 for BO. I have installed the Client tools with the same Patchlevel (SP 4) on the same Server.
The Java - Installation is the Installation from SAP BO 4.0
Now I try to use the "Translation Management Tool"
Login with a BO - Administrator and Enterprise authentification.
Next Step ist to load an object from the repository.
This ends with an error Message: java.lang.Exception: initInstance failed. -2
And now? I have no idea.
Who can Help?

Hello Mister Makmerphy,
it seems, that the higher memory limit solved the problem.
I made it in some steps and now I have a memory limit with 3 Gbyte.
And with a last step I've added the last 4 parameters.
But now I have the Problem:
"This server is considered failed because it has stopped 5 time(s) in 60 minute(s)."
And the actuall status is "failed"
Where can I reset this counter.
Waiting another hour to restart doesn't help
System Reboot doesn't help.
Where can I reset this counter or this timer.

ESS: Travel Management Cross Company Cost Assignment

Hi All,
We have one scenario in (ESS) Travel Management.
While raising travel request, employee is having the option of selecting Cost Assignment
where in employee selects WBS Element and Cost Center.
Here in we have two company codes
1. 1000
2. 999
Now employee belonging to company code 1000 should have option to select WBS of company code 999.
Currently system is throwing error
The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 999, not 1000
Now if we change this error message to warning message it will impact on all other
applications running in R/3.
This requirement is only limited to Travel Management.
This application uses following webdynpro application,
FITV_VC_COST_ASSIGNMENT
Please provide the appropriate solution either technical or functional.

System will follow the strict rules while posting transactions to cost objects by the employees.
The user is authorized to post only in 1000 but not in 999. so he can't post to 999.
People with authorization to post to 999 can do it.
But the main thing is, Cost centers are belongs to only one company code so U can't post this transaction to 999.
The transaction which u r trying is seems to be cross company code transaction. Cost objects should relate to the company code where U r posting transaction otherwise u cont post it.
IF possible provide more details.....

ESS Travel Manager iview

Dear All,
The ESS Travel Manager iView (ITS based) is not getting diaplayed properly. Only a grey area is displayed in the content area. This is happening with some users only others are able to access the same but it takes time for them.
Any idea why this is happening
Regards,
Samir
Edited by: Samir on Jan 21, 2009 5:51 PM

If it's only occuring for a subset of users then it could well be browser settings.
If you're using a proxy server, then check there's a proxy expection stated for the domain of the ITS server.
Set-up a proxy exception for the portal (if proxy is used):
- In Internet Explorer, choose Tools -> Internet Options
- Choose the Connections tab -> LAN Settings
- In the Proxy server section, make sure u2018Bypass proxy server for local addressesu2019 is ticked and choose u2018Advancedu2026u2019
- Enter the site within the u2018Exceptionsu2019 section
- Click OK on remaining screens

Translation Management Tool (BI 4.0) fails to import Crystal Reports

I am trying to use the Translation Management Tool on Crystal Reports in our CMS Repository. When I try to import the reports the Import Status indicates a Fail but does not give an error message. When I click on the failed item the tool displays com.businessobjects.sdk.oca2.translation.internal.TranslationServiceException in red in the bottom of the window.
Can anyone help with why I cannot import these reports?
-Byron Clairoux
Treasury Board Secretariat

It is good to have what I suspected was happening confirmed, and that it is at least noted in the documentation. A less cryptic error message would be helpful - something clearer than the current "com.businessobjects.sdk.oca2.translation.internal.TranslationServiceException" message that is displayed if you try and import a CR 2011/2013 report.
Thanks for the responses

SAP BO Translation Management Tool

Hi,
I am using the SAP BO Translation Management Tool to translate our WEBI reports into French language. Most of the queries are getting translated properly and after the export to the server they are available in French language.
But I am having issues with two of those reports in which even on successfully translating the variables and exporting the same to the server the translation is not available. On opening the WEBI report again in TMT it shows that none of the variables were translated and this problem is only with the variables not with query names or prompts.
Any kind of help would be great.
Regards,
Arminder Singh

Translation Manager Business Object XIr3, problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the Translation Manager Business Object XIr3.
If I understood well, it permits multilanguage users to see for example reports with their own language, setting up the preferencies, logging in InfoView.
Now I have installed it and I choosed two languages: English(UK) and Russian.
The problem is explained better in the following table:
user(PVL)        |Source Language         |Substitution Language        |Reports Viewed
English              English                     English               English
English             English                                    Russian               Russian
English             Russian                     English             English (sometimes I can see only Universe Objects translated)
English               Russian               Russian             Russian
Russian              Russian               Russian             Russian
Russian             English                                   Russian               Russian
Russian              Russian                English            Russian     (sometimes I can see only Universe Objects translated)
Russian              English                     English            Russian (sometimes I can see only Universe Objects translated)
I must explain that:
-user(PVL) is the Preferred Viewing Language selected in the preferencies
-source language and substitution language are the languages selected in the Translation manager interface
-Reports viewed is the way I can read reports, after refreshing query.
Now I ask you if, according to you, Translation manager may has this kind of problem, and, in this case, if you know how to resolve it.
Please answer me only here in this post.
