ESS with R/3 4.7 Enterprise

Hi,
Is there a way to use the Web Dynpro based ESS (and not ITS) with R/3 4/7 Enterprise? If yes, then which BP version should be used with the Portal. Portal version is 7.0.
Thanks,
CD

Hi,
I'd have to agree with Stuart, there are really very few cases where it would be worth doing this ALE set up - the only one that I can think of is you have many other functions - finance, logistics, etc on your existing 4.7 R/3 system and they are so heavily customised that moving to ECC6 is not an option for them in the short term and you have some very influential person who insists that you must go to a new ESS immediately....
Even then I'd be telling them to hold off and upgrade the whole lot at once.
Another alternative if you really like the look of Web Dynpro - is to develop your own ESS services (don't try to backport the standard ones it would be an immense effort for little gain) in your portal and just have them connect to your 4.7 system - that's doable.
Given that the whole look and feel of ESS is about to be given a shake up with the move from WD Java to WD ABAP - I'd not be even attempting to copy the WD Java ESS.
Bide your time and go for the upgrade...
Good luck,
Chris

ESS with ERP2005 (without a Portal)

Hi,
in the moment we are using ESS with SAP Enterprise (4.7).
Now we are planning the Upgrade to ERP2005.
We have several customers who has outsourced their HR Processes to us. We maintain their ESS on our SAP Servers.
If we change to ERP2005 the problem is, that our customers have their own Portal which is often no SAP portal. The Portal is a very strategic IT part of our customers, so we have no access to the Portal. On the other hand our customers has no HR know-how to maintain the ESS om their own.
We heard about the internal ESS. May be this could be the solution in our situation. Where can we get more information about the internal ESS. Who has tested this software already.
Best regards
Thomas

Hi,
the internal ESS is nothing else than an EP 7.0 "in disguise". It is a regular java stack, portal 7.0 and the BP for ESS and MSS just in one install on the same machine than HCM.
It is of no difference if you are using a regular external Portal Scenario or an internal ESS.
Generally speaking, SAP will push the Portal. It is now more or less mandatory for ESS/MSS and BW - SRM will follow with the next release. Web Dynpro will be essential part of the GUI-Strategy and WD without portal makes not a lot of sense.
So, customers with a different portal will need to pursuit a "Dual Portal" strategy in future, because there will be no WD integration int other portals. SAP stated very clearly in internal discussions that customers with a different portal strategy will have serious integration problems.
What I recommend is using EP for integration of SAP and use KM with federated portals for "syndication", i.e. for content integration of other portals.
When you are a provider of services, that would be a good point to start as a service offering

BP ESS for R/3 4.7 Enterprise backend

Hi Experts,
I have an EP 6 installation on WEBAS 6.40 and I am trying to install the ESS BP compatible with R/3 4.7 Enterprise. I have downloaded BPESS46C504_0-20000613.ZIP from SAP Service Martketplace. While trying to import the content of the ZIP file in to the portal using System Administration -> Transport -> Import. Now when I click on the Browse button to select the package.pkg file it just redirects me back to the Portal Content page. The same thing happens when I try to click on the Client radio button the browser redirects me back to the Portal home page. Has anyone encountered the same problem/issue ESS BP for 4.7?
Help please anyone...
Kind regards,
Dondie

Employee Self Service with R/3 4.7 Enterprise

I have R/3 4.7 Enterprise. What is the simplest way to get ESS running? Currently i only have ABAP stack running. What other components do i need for the ESS? Thank you in advance for your attention and advice

hi,
To use ESS with R/3 4.7 you need to install ITS.R/3 4.7 generates the HTML screens using this ITS.
Using ITS you can access SAP system from browser.The config file of ITS has to point to your R/3 system and you have to do the required customisation in R/3 system for the ESS scenario.

I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

Service on ESS with display option

Hi,
We use ESS with EP.
The service PZ03 & PZ28 for Bank information and Previous employer details respectively, when attached, provide change option to the employee.
I have a requirement wherein i want them only in a display mode. Is there anyway that any other Tcode may be assigned ot the role so that it may be given only in display.
Pl. confirm if EP has an option of display alone.
Pl. suggest.
Thank you.

Thanks for the response Vijay.
Your response to my first question is helpful. The rest of them, though relevant, will be used by me at a later stage by me.
The rest thrree of my questions were concerning the SPRO settings under the Menu in IMG > Employee self service & Employee self service (ITS). I would like to know how those settings are relevant to ECC 5.0.
According to my research, ESS (ITS) are for versions before ECC 5.0. We currently use ECC 5.0 with EP 6.0. Despite ECC 5.0, services have been used for the portal in our base implementation. Iam currently doing a rollout project and unable to understand the difference between the ESS & ESS (ITS) menu in IMG. These two nodes have some common serive settings (ex. personal info, Leave request , etc. ). Hence would liek to know if settings in one of these would over wriete the settings in the other.
Hope i have been more clear in my question this time. I paraphrase the last 3 questions of my previous query:
1. If the services (eg. PZ01, etc) are used in ITS version in our current system, what is the relevance to the settings in the ESS node in IMG as compared to those in ESS(ITS)?
2. There are some nodes in ESS and ESS ITS that are common. Do the settings in one of these overwrite the other? (Ex: Personal information,Leave request, etc.)
3. Can i copy the standard services liek PZ03 into the Z domain on T code SDH0 and give only display option to the employee on the portal?
Also would like to know if there is anything technical i need to read up on (any technical prerequisites) if iam interested in learning / working on ESS & MSS in depth. I come from an non-technical background and an MBA in HR.
Pl. suggest.

Is SSO Mandatory for ESS with ECC5.0?

Is single sign on MAndatory for implementing ESS with SP16 ECC5.0 and mysap ERP2004 package . Becuase am not finding any options to map users for systems?
inputs highly appreciated.

HI Sameer,
SSO is mandatory for ESS to enable the backend connection for the logged on user only.
For JCO destination type metadata,a generic user maybe be used by providing the userid and password.But for the JCo destination type Application,we have to enable SSO, so that user specific data may be retrieved.
For SSO, the method used is SAP Logon tickets and the same method would be used for user managemnt for the systems created in EP.
Achim, have you tried using User mapping for ESS?
I tried by setting User Management for JCo Destination Type Application ,to User Mapping and did the user mapping in EP for the systems,but i got the error "RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE"-system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received.
So,i thought the only option is using SAP Logon tickets for this scenario.
In the SAP help also,it is mentioned to set up SSO using SAP Logon tickets, not using User Mapping.
Thanks,
Regards,
Siddhartha

ESS with out EP

Dear Experts,
We are working on ECC 6.0. My client is asking us to implement ESS with out EP. Is it possible ??? they are asking us to use some general portals like (Internet explorer, netscape navigator,etc).
Kindly let me know on this. Points will be rewarded to the answer..
Regards
Kumar

First of all, try to deploy the ESS/MSS Business packages using sdm/JSPM.
Without the Business package, you will not be able to avail the ESS/MSS services.
And said by Andy, it is hard to develop custom application by your own......
So its better to start with the deployment of Business package, start configuring the things and customize the ESS/MSS application as per your customer environment and landscape.
>> Could any one guide me, how should i start?? whom i have to intaract in my team regarding this???
It is better if you have a functional consultant (HCM/HR) and a Technical consultant - Portal. A good combination of these two would be definetely results in successfull Implementations.
Much of information is available in sap online help website.
For more info on Configurations, check [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/f6/263359f8c14ef98384ae7a2becd156/frameset.htm]
Always, it is a good pratise to read each and every node in spro
before implementing it.

Gobal Address List with the Blackberry Curve on Enterprise Plan

How do you access the Gobal Address List with the Blackberry Curve (on Enterprise Plan) when forwarding or composing an email? If this can be done, what is the key sequence to accomplish this task?

The only way I know how to do it, is using the lookup option in your address book and then adding it to your address book. I've tried to do it from the email and it doesnt put the address in the to field.

ESS with SAP ERP 2004 ECC 5.0

Hello,
with SAP R/3 we used the Employee Self Services via an external ITS. Now we are using SAP ERP 2004 ECC 5.0 with an installed Java AddIn without Enterprise Portal.
My Question is:
What ways are possible, so that we can use the ESS functionality?
My Ideas are:
1. Use the old external ITS and connect it to the new system.
Problem: Is the connection possible?
or
2. Use the existing services from the internal ITS.
Problem: It seems that some are not working - is it possible to activate them?
or
3. Use the WebDynpro-Technology without Enterprise Portal.
Problem: Will it work?
All information I could find, is, that none of the mentioned ways will work, but maybe someone tried to do the same and was successful.
Thanks for ideas,
André

Hello Andre,
I don't have experience with using ESS web dynpro applications standalone without EP but I believe that should work just fine. We use standalone web dynpro applications for our mobile ISR/PCR approvals where we access web dynpro application directly via Blackberry. You should be able to access any web dynpro application directly without EP iView - for certain services you will need to provide the correct attributes and values via URL though.
Hope that helps you a little bit,
Harald

Not able to login with domain account on Win10 Enterprise build 10049

On my Windows 10 Enterprise technical preview machine (build 10049), it locked out after inactivity and now only offers the option to login with "Other user". On this screen, it only seems to want a Microsoft account, although if I enter a valid
Microsoft account it says the password is wrong. It won't accept a domain account, and it does not seem to offer any way to switch to the normal domain login screen.
I am locked out of the PC and unable to use it. When I reboot, it goes back to the same login screen.
Help!

Hi,
Is the system joined to a domain? If a machine is joined to a domain, then after restart, the domain name should be displayed under "Other User" even though it doesn't display other user accounts. See snapshot below:
And for domain account, please make sure to type the format as domain\username
While if you have other local user account, then I recommend you login to that user acocunt (format as .\localusername) check the system info and check the policy below:
Local Security Policy\Local Policies\Security policies\Interactive logon: Do not display the last user name, it should be "Not configured" or "Disabled".

Can we use the ESR of XI 7.0 with the Microsoft SAP Duet Enterprise

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Microsoft and SAP product DUET enterprise and we are going to use ESR of XI netweaver for defining the web service structures.
In demo we have used it with PI 7.1 where we have the concept of Service Interface with multiple operations.
But we have PI 7.0 in the landscape which has Message Interface instead of service interface and doesnt have multiple operations.
My doubt is whether we can use the IR of PI 7.0 while working with DUET enterprise.
If Yes, please explain in detail.
If no, what are the varios options available?

Hi Disciple11,
As you said, Service Interface with multiple operations are supported from PI 7.1 onwards. Mostly SAP does not deliver enterprise services with multiple operaiotns as it would be impossible to import for customers those who are in lower versions like XI 3.0, 7.0 etc.
For DUET enterprise, you can create a back end operation proxy in service consumption layer either from a RFC or from a WSDL URL. Nevertheless I think it would not be possible to import the PI content with multiple operations for a serrive interface to PI 7.0 and below.
Thanks,
Sankar

VGA beamer problems with Windows 7 64-bit enterprise on MacBook Air 2012

For us the following problem is solved now! It might help other people with the same problems.
At our institute we have two new MacBook Airs 5.2 (2012) running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise under Boot Camp.
They both cannot used for Windows-presentations with VGA beamers by using the mini-DP-to-VGA adapter (with Mac OS X 10.7 it just works fine). First of all, the suggestions from Apple phone support were not of any help at all (try PRAM reset, try SMC reset, ...). We tried an external USB-3.0-graphics adapter made by SUNIX (it failed, probably since Apple blocks other graphic cards in the EFI).
Then we saw the following article, which describes the same problems with a Dell XPS, but also using the Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter:
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/dell-xp-mini-displayport-projector-fi x
We finally bought a "Mini-DisplayPort to VGA Active Video Adapter" from StarTech.com (product ID: MDP2VGAW) ...
AND IT WORKS!
Quintessence: Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter is too crappy for the (probably always behind) Windows.

Hello again,
After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.
