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.

ESS/MSS Customizations

HI ESS/MSS Gurus,
During our discussions with the client regarding the inherent features of the standard ESS/MSS functionalities, several points were raised, namely:
1. The cumbersome nature of data/request entry - basically they just want all the request filing to occur in one screen. No need to skip screens to review and validate the request
2. No record id to document the request -> they want a means for the user and manager to monitor and track requests using a standardized request numbering system. I believe that the standard solution for ESS/MSS does not have this one in place
3. Ability to extract reports of histories of requests raised (for the employee) and requests reviewed (for the manager)
In our opinion, these items will require heavy customization on both the portal and back end side. We are basically considering a custom table which will store these information and depending on the status of the requests, a request column will be updated with the corresponding values. The request approvals, notifications, and postings are also to be done via ABAP
In designing this solution, we came across some stumbling blocks, specifically on updating the personal and team calendars for leave requests and the employee's schedule for the clock in/out corrections. Hence, we want to check if any of you guys have had experience with customizing the ESS/MSS interfaces (specifically the leave and clock in/out application and approval), and if so, can you help us identify which tables are being updated/read when a leave or clock in/out is created and approved. We already checked the FMs attached to the portal application and the they call several methods and functions; i.e. is there a table/set of tables that you can point us to instead?
Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
Regards,

1. The cumbersome nature of data/request entry - basically they just want all the request filing to occur in one screen. No need to skip screens to review and validate the request
-- Depending on your version less than or equal to ehp5,.. this is true in versions less then ehp5. then ahain until ehp4 any forms that need implementation will need some element of development work so in your particular case the element of develpment could be a little higher to make them all use a single entry screen that gets submitted.
2. No record id to document the request -> they want a means for the user and manager to monitor and track requests using a standardized request numbering system. I believe that the standard solution for ESS/MSS does not have this one in place
-- for any form or process that has workflow attached there is an automatic workflow-id assigned by the system and I believe you can report on these inthe back end... standard workflow fuctionality... why dont you explore this option with your workflo consultant?

ESS screen customization, Leave configuration and work flow.

Dear Experts,
We are planning to migrate Leave application from ESS java based application to ESS WDA . I know that homepage customization is replaced by Launchpad in WDA, So here are my questions,
1. how to change the overview screen like Area , subarea pages and there description and also to hide links which are not required (marked in attachment).
2. How to change properties of an iview ie Create leave request (on selecting creating leave request it gets opened in separate window but it also include employee welcome screen and navigation menu all over again)
3. Where would I get documentations related to leave application with WDA and how setup workflow with three levels of approvals.
Please revert with your valuable feedback. Thanks in advance.
Ajaykumar

1. In the launch pad lpd_cust, you can add folders, applications etc through which we can get output like what u requested.
       If u don't want any app, u can add it to inactive applications or remove it.
       If it has to be hidden dynamically then from the badi we can achieve it.
2. Opening iView in new window/same window/with or without masthead etc is part of portal parameters for the lpd application, where u can configure it.
3. Help.sap.com is best and also in scn u can get lot of additional informations

ESS workflow customization

One small info required generally about these ESS workflows.
Are the ESS workflow templates different from the standard R/3 workflow given for HR module. Does the transaction data store temporarliy in some tables especially maintained for ESS before getting stored in R/3 standard HR tables.
If we create a event in a BOR object how can we trigger it from any standard transactions, is there any fm we can include in the sourcecode to trigger event so as to invoke workflows dependent on event.
Please do help me.
--Vivek

Thanks for you very helpful link..really i was searching somuch for these tasks in SAP and am feeling more happy to see a very hepful link for me.
Could you please help on the second part of the question of ---how to trigger event if we create a new event in the BOR object. how muhc work is involved.

REG: ESS Screens customization issues

Hi,
I am trying to do some screen changes like,
1) Trying to include the Start Date and End date in Personal Information ESS Application (NZ).
After selecting the value in the Details screen, the actual value I selected is not passing to the Backend.
Please guide me how to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Ashok
When you press New or Change by using the current date, a new record has to be created in Backend (except same cases, e.g. in the current date exists another record with same start date).
BAdI HRXSS_PER_BEGDA is used to change the start/end date behaviour, according to infotype/subtype.
If you are not maintaining BAdI HRXSS_PER_BEGDA for the corresponding infotype, then you cannot put a start date in the past for example.
In order to handle the validity period for new ESS records, exists an enhancement in EHP4 (ECC 604), that you can activate, HCM_ESS_CI_1.
After activation was done, you can go to V_T7XSSPERSUBTY table -> select infty/subty --> check 'Validity period for data can be set'.

Bizcard customization of ESS for buttons and fields

Hi All,
I have some queries on ESS Bizcard Customization of Family infotype:
1. How to hide delete buttons for one subtype when it should not be hidden for the others.
2. How to add extra fields for one subtpe while we do not need the extra fields for other subtypes
Well the above customizations can be done through content administration, but then it will work when we know the exact number of records for each subtype. When the number of records changes the extra records will not have this customization.
Eg: if we remove the delete buttons for 3 child records through content admin and create the fourth record, then the fourth record will have the delete button on it.
Could you please let me know if you have any solutions
This is crucial, so appreciate ur help
Thanks,
Christy

Hi,
Both the requirements can be achieve very easily, as said in the above to replyu2019s, yes you will need NWDS/I.
Now how to achieveu2026.
There is a property in WDP called u2018Visibleu2019, create a attribute and set its type to visible (com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Visibility).
Now assign the attribute to UI element visible property, write the required code say for ex, you donu2019t require any UI to be displayed for specific subtype, set attribute value to BLANK.
You can get the code and type related details in SAP Help link.
Cheers,
SJ

Build error while NWDI ESS Project creation for ESS Customization

Hi
We are using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.0.11 and trying to create a project in NWDI for ESS (ESS 6.0) customization.
When we create project from the Inactive DC (essgbpdatahttp://com.sap), it is giving several build errors.
We have tried Sync Sources many times, checked and verified the Java Build Path as well.
The 1st error in the Tasks tab is
The project was not built since its classpath is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for com.sap.aii.proxy.framework.core.AbstractType. Fix the classpath then try rebuilding this project.
Then there are several other errors like
Application Per_Personal_GB: Component is missing.
Application Per_Personal_GB: Start up plug is missing.
Seems some dependent files/ DCs are missing but we are not sure which ones.
Could you please help?
Regards

ESS/MSS Infotype, subtypes?

Hi,
I'm new to ESS/MSS customisation on EP7, I have a task to customise personal data screen and addresses screen by adding additional fields. I have posted another thread regarding how to customise for these changes but I hear the term infotypes, subtypes, tables to change and create.
Can someone please give an insight of what exactly these infotypes, subtypes and table related to ESS/MSS customization are? How are they related to Webdynpro models?
Thanks
Praveen

Dear Praveen,
Infotypes are nothing but places where HR master data sits.You can consider them as tables rather they are tables.For better picture go to PA20 and then put 2 against the infotype fiels.
Subtypes: For certain infotypes there are sub types available which allow you to classify the infotypes in better way.
for eg. in infotype 2006 which is for absence quota there are subtypes defined like sick leave , casual leave etc.
Web dynpro customization of the standard is a long process as it involves changes on both sides web dynpro side and the R3 side i.e the RFC (Remote Function Call) involved.
Hope this might clear a few things
Regards,
Geet
