ESS: Who is who ~ Advance Search

Dear all,
I have a query rearding the who is who ~ advance search and I am looking for feedback or guidness to solve this issue.
When I go to advance search I get the input fields like
position
organizatinal Unit
Job
etc
My cient has a requirnment to have "input help", drop down values, for the these position so that employee can easily search.
regards and looking forward for your tips and guidness

Thanks bala for your reply.
Bala * you mentioned about changing the WDJ code , can you please elaborate this
I need to have the input help, dropdown values for organizational units, jobs and positions.
A friend of mine mentioned to me that this requirnment might be possible through OADP. but as per my knowldege OADP is for MSS so how can I use it for ESS.
Secondly this who is who is is using a sap query and it is fetching data from R/3 as per fields mentioned in infoset. If I can get the F4 help , dropdown, in R/3 then how come i canot have the same in portal.
looking forward for your feedback
Regards

ESS Who is Who - Add search criteria

Hi all,
I have tried searching the forums, but can't find an answer for my problem. I want to add an additional field to the search criteria for the who is who iview.
I am able to change the advanced search, but I want to add a search criteria on the first screen. Changing the service for the adress book (Employee Self-Service -> Service-Specific Settings -> Address Book -> Who's Who -> Who's Who (ESS): Selection and Output) does not change this first screen.
Anyone know how I can make this change?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marlies

If by selecting fields you mean in the Who's Who (ESS): Selection and Output, then yes.
I have there available 3 tabs, none have the default settings.
First tab I can set the selectionfields, but when changing/adding a field here, my "simple search" does not change. The changes here are reflected under the advanced search, which is nice, but not what I want.
I simply want to add 1 additional field to the first search screen, so the user does not have to always use the advanced search option.

Who is Who - dropdown list for fields in the advance search

Hello:
In the advance search of the Who is Who service, we have the Organization Unit and Cost Center as searching fields.
We can't be able to see the dropdown list for these 2 fields from the Portal.
Do anyone have any idea of what configuration is missing?
Thanks.
Regards,

hi,
according to my knowledge they don't have Unique ID but unique names attached to them.
open Outlook
go to Tools -> Forms -> Design Form -> select Message then right click on 'To' textbox and chose Advance Properties it has a field 'Name' that name can be used for reference in your development.
hope this helps you.

ESS Who is Who default address

Dear Guru's
For our customer we are looking for an option to view a default address subtype in the output from Who is Who. I have two questions:
1. We use our own infoset with infotype 0006 for addresses. Our customer however uses multiple subtypes in infotype 0006. They want to show a certain subtype default in the output results without selecting this subtype using the advanced search option.
Is this possbile?
2.Also using our own infoset. The outputresults in the Iview don't seem to match with the records in te backend. For example:
infotype 0006 consist two records:
record 1:
P0006-BEGDA= 01.01.2011
P0006 - ENDDA = 31.12.9999
P0006-ANSSA = 1 Permanent residence
P0006-STRAS = x
P0006-HSNMR = x
P0006-PSTLZ= x
P0006-ORT01 = x
record 2:
P0006-BEGDA= 01.01.2011
P0006 - ENDDA = 31.12.9999
P0006-ANSSA = 6 nursing address
P0006-STRAS = y
P0006-HSNMR = y
P0006-PSTLZ= y
P0006-ORT01 = y
The output in the Iview using the infoset and filling P0006-ANSSA in the advanced search option with 1 shows for example
P0006-ANSSA = 1 Permanent address (record 1)
P0006-STRAS = y (record 2)
P0006-HSNMR = x (record 1)
P0006-PSTLZ= x (record 1)
P0006-ORT01 = y (record 2)
Is this a problem with FM BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA ?
Help needed.

have you made your custom infoset and a query and select those fields which you need to be shown?
Note that
We can only restrict with the query which is based on the infoset.
In the case of who is who, the query is designed based on selection of
selection fields, output fields & output field list.
We can create infoset query based on subtype field of IT 6 but we cannot
restrict it to subtype.
I suggest that you use BAPI method for creating search for Who's Who .
You may need to write your own BAPI.

How to Displaying Employee Photo in ESS Who's Who via Reverse Proxy?

Dear Gurus,
I have a bit of problem to displaying employee's photo in ESS Who's Who via Reverse Proxy.
In my landscape, end-users are only able to reach the Reverse Proxy server, not the actual SAP server itself.
In Who's Who, when displaying the employee's info, the URI for the photo is generated using the actual SAP server name.
Illustration:
- the URI we expect: https://portal.domain.com/sap/bc/contentserver?.....
- the URI we get: http://r3server.domain.com/sap/bc/contentserver?....
Does anyone know where/how I can set the URL (hostname and protocol part) to refer to my reverse proxy?
Or is it because SAP is using an absolute path rather than the relative one?
How do we go about it?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Barinbhai,
How are you? We are fine at here!!!

ESS: Who's Who Authorization Checks

Hi,
I am testing the ESS iView (tcode PZ01) in the Portal and it seems to be restricting the search results by my authorizations. I am not getting a full list of people in the system. Anyone know how to turn-off this authorization check?
I noticed this only happens when I changed the ESS Who's Who customizing in the IMG for PZ01. If I uncheck the checkbox 'Output fields list', then it checks authorzations. I'm thinking this has something to do with using the BAPI vs. using the query infoset, as the documentation states.

Old post but I have had a similar issue and it was caused by P_ORGIN
Infortype 0105 subtype?????
Seem if the subtype is restricted then they are not displayed if subtype populated in the HR record.

ESS ::Who z Who ?

In ESS Who z who service ,all the technical field names are getting displayed . How to turn this off ?

with out seeing your code no one can answer your question. If its some standard program we could have looked in our systems and would have guided you...
why dont you save that login varaibles using set parameters and retrieve when needed using get parameters. Search with those key words in SCN you will find many examples.

ESS Who's Who removing Change Own Data Link

Hi,
Set-up ESS who's who with no issue on EP7 with ECC6. However I wish to remove the "Change Own Data" link from the page.
I have reviewed the IMG but cannot find where to change the details. Also I cannot find Personnel Management >> Employee Self Service, so I'm unsure if we have loaded up our business package correctly. Thanks

HI Brian,
Do the following steps:
TCode: spro
SAP Reference Img
    --Cross Application Components
      --Home page Framework
        --Services
          --Assign serives to subAreas
            --Execute - Choose (find entries) and mark the "EMPLOYEE_SEARCH_CHANGEOWNDATA" field Position as 0 (zero).
Log off and login portal and see the effect taken place.
Hope you can do it easily now..

ESS - who's who (Address book)

Configuring ESS - who's who --> selection and ouput .. I save the changes,
it does not ask for any transport request # .. just saves it.. how can I do an SCC1 to the test client.. Now in the test client , I am able to make changes (other config changes are not allowed) to the same IMG node.. and I am able to do what i want to.. but eventually how will this go to Q or P without a request #
Has any one come across similar situation ?

JM -
See SAP NOTE 216115 Transport of ESS Whos Who Customizing. The automatic transport request for the Whos Who configuration has been deactivated by SAP.
To transport this section, manually generate a transport for table T77WWW_WHO and also SM34, HR_SELECTIONS. I did this at my previous client and still only the selection screen was transportable. Maintaining the fields for the Hit List screen and the Profile Detail screen was still a manual process. Same with the checkbox settings for 'Maintain ESS Settings." We included these maunual settings as part of our cutover plan. Not sure if SAP has updated or issued a subsequent note.

Advanced search in ESS leave request scenario

Dear experts,
we want to use the leave request scenario for ESS. The employees should choose the ap-prover with the search help (or advanced search which pops up when the user clicked the symbol at the edge of the approver field). Is there any way to customize the advanced search so that the result only lists employees in a specific role and not all of them? Where can I see the code from the advanced search und where can I change this?
I am thankful for any hints and tips!
Many thanks
