Extending self service hr pages

Are there any resources where I could see demos or examples on how to customize sshr pages via jdeveloper?

I'd try the OA Framework Forum: OA Framework
Note to the Oracle Guys: Maybe you should put a sticky at the top of this forum, as we get a lot of OA Framework questions here (it does use JDeveloper, after all, albeit an ancient version).

How to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page.

Hi,
I am trying to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page. I personalized the page to add a button and link the report's URL to that button; but I am having issues passing/manipulating parameters to this report.
Is there a better approach to do this, please post your suggestions. Also If you can direct me to some usefull documentation that will be great.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Hilal

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

hi, hav u created webdynpro iView..
Suppose you want a new area which has two servicex.. create WD iView which would point to your application.
Define Applicationparameter in iView defining menuarea, menugroup, menuheader, which you will be defining in SPRO.
Now create weddynpro proxy page and the add above iView to your page.
Now create iView for service i.e your webdynpro appliaction.
Now add above iView to new proxy page. Thus now we have to proxy page.
Create workset and add this two page to workset.
Add this workset to ESS role.
note down PCD location of above two pages.Now all necessary configuation from portal side is completed
Now u would need to do your SPRO setting.. Go to resource node and create resouce. and give PCD location in URL of PCD Page. Similarly you would need to do this for other page also ...in resouce node.
Now we have defined resouce...now we would define the area...give your area name..and give resouce name.
Now define subarea.. and add subarea to areas..from assing sub-area to area node.
Now create a service..from define service node..give resouce name in link resouce text box..
Now assign service to subarea..
Now to make it available on overview page....you need to add Group page to Group Area page, to make it visible on ESS Overview Page.
IMG-> Cross Application Components -> Homepage Framework->Areas -> Assign Areas to Area Group
Pages -> Assign Areas to Area Group Pages (Add and change Entries).
Click on u2018New Entriesu2019.
Now you can save..it..

Self Service Salary Page

I need to display per_pay_proposals.attribute2 in employee self service salary page. May I know how to display.
I clicked Personalize "Salary" page and clicked expand all to check the attribute2. But I couldn't find. Can any one
advice. Is there any other alternative?

Hi Naveen,
Can you please let me know about AK regions. What I did was I enabled personalization using profile option "Personalize Self-Service Defn" and on salary page I clicked personalize "Salary" region. Then I clicked "expand all" option for attribute2 column to make render as true, so that I can display it in the self service salary page. But I couldn't find this attribute2. Any idea?

OIM 11g UDF of UI type Lookup not reflected in Self Service Profile Page

I created one UDF of type lookup in admin console. published the sandbox. Then I logged in self service console and created a new sandbox. I wanted to make udf visible in self service page so I started customizing the create user page. But the newly created udf is not visible under userVO.
Steps to re-produce the issue:
1. create a new sandbox in admin console. create a new udf of type lookup. publish the sandbox.
2. login to self service console. create a new sandbox and start customizing. go to create user page. click on customize. select source and select the panel to add the udf. select data component catalog, select userVO. Under this userVO, my newly created UDF is not visible.I cant find my new lookup type udf. I can see the udf created in usr table in DB.
Please let me know if anybody have faced similar issue and its resolution.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

can you check whether remaining custom UDFs are appearing?
Is it a problem just with Lookup UDF type?
Also, this sandboxes are very error prone. So you need to make sure only 1 person is working during 1 specific work with sandbox

SelfService Home Page

Hi All,
Basic WF Question
How can I reach the Self-Service homepage?
I have OraDB 10g, WF 2.6.3 Server, Midtier and Client + the HTTP Server installed on the same XP machine.
In the admin guide, it is referred to the Workflow Administrator Web Applications. I cannot seem to find this anywhere. What steps need to be taken?
Thank you

Hi Hari,
Basically there are 2 parts:
1) Customizing in the backend (IMG) > Homepage Framework (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/aa/9f75620a8d4a2e9181db37f2fa2a62/frameset.htm)
2) Define the worksets, pages and iviews in the portal (copy them
This homepage framework is called Self Service Homepage (or XSS Homepage Framework).

Customizing Self Service HR Page

Hi all,
I want to add validation to one of the fields on the personal information page in self service HR.
I tried to look for the page in about this page and got the page in my local PC.
When I try to run it, it says page is not runnable as AM required Definition is set to yes.
I want to know how to run the page from my local machine and how can i proceed with my customization of adding validation on a field in the same page.
How do we customize the AKRegions?
Thanks

Hi,
If I cannot use PPR on the address field(DFF) then may be i can do the validation in AM or Controller.
However I would definitely like to know the process of customizing a AKRegion.
What I mean to say is.
If it is a plain OA page then I can get the PG or RN from MDS and the respective java files also from java_top.
but how will i know which page or region i need to customize if it is a AKRegion.
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=HR_CREATE_PROCESS_TOP_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=HR_PERINFO_SS
what is an akRegioncode is it something similar like an OAF page?
Where Can I find some documentation to read on AkRegions.
Please Help
Thanks.

OID Self Service Console - Page Cannot Found error

Hi,
I am using Oracle Collaboration Suite and facing problem while creating a user. I navigated to the OID Self Service Console and signed in successfully with orcladmin user. After successfull login as I click on Directory Tab to create user then Page Cannot be displayed typical browsing error appears. I cannot find whats wrong. Infrastructrue and middle tier components all are up and seem working fine.
I cannot find way to deal with Page Cannot Found error. Please help
Regards,
Sami

Try typing in the URL yourself in the address location. Do you observe the same behavior?
If the forward-slash at the end still makes a difference, then verify that you have not modified your httpd.conf on the infrastructure instance.
Here, check if your HTTP Server had any redirection rules or any aliases setup in the httpd.conf in your infrastructure. The trailing forward-slash / is generally meaningful in those places.
Also note if you see the same problem with other targets too. for instances, sso-login server.

Modify Self Service -- Profile page

Hello Experts,

Guest Server - Self-Service login page

Hi
Has anyone managed to customise the spash page users see when they login ?
We are trying things like stopping the "access plan" from displaying and the phone country code to default to 44 and not +1.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Louise, I'm not quite following the second part of your question.
Customizing the splash page is a fairly simple process and there are examples available on CCO. Assuming you are using a WLC there is a webauth bundle that is located on the WLC download section, inside this bundle there are various options for page layouts as well as an instruction file letting you know how to use them. The main thing to remember is that the file size is limited of the tar file that you create and you need to use 7zip for example on Windows to create proper bundle.
ISE also has the ability to host the captive portal as well and there should be an example of that floating around on CCO as well I think. The same concept applies, you modify the HTML pages to your liking, tar them up, and then upload to your ISE box.

Timezone setting in OA Framework (Self Service Page)

Dear All,
Even after setting the 'Client Timezone' profile option at the responsibility level, I am not able to get the date fields having date picker in the User Interface (Custom developed Self Service Web page) taking up the value of the particular timezone that is assigned to the responsibility, instead its taking up the local machines date and time...??
How can I populate a Local Timezone value to a date field in OA Framework?
Appreciate your kind attention to this...
Many thanks in Advance....

You have to do this programatically. See the thread

HR Renewal Self Services Integration Issue with SAP Portal

Hi,
We are Implementing HR Renewal 2.0 FP1 and the Self-Services Landing Page to be launched from within SAP Portal.
I have imported the PFCG role ZSAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_XX_UI5_1 into portal and assigned to the user. The End User read permission is provided.
We see the landing page with all lanes coming up fine when launched from portal. But subsequently when we click on the SAPUI5 delivered applications in the MY INFO Lane like Employee Profile, Salary Statement, Leave Application etc, they open from inside the portal in a new window via the below Standard Launchpad Start URL application
/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.sap.pct%2Fevery_user%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.common.bp_folder%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.common.roles%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.common.erp_common%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.common.lpd_start_url&RequestMethod=GET&System=SAP_HCM_PROXY&URLTemplate=<System.wap.WAS.protocol>%3A%2F%2F<System.wap.WAS.hostname><System.wap.WAS.path>%2Fsap%2Fbc%2Fui5_ui5%2Fsap%2FHRESS_PAYSLIP_G%2Findex.html%3Fsap-client%3D<System.client>%26sap-language%3DEN&PrevNavTarget=navurl%3A%2F%2F9302a2e5cab6590e376f9e6a16fffb13&NavMode=3&CurrentWindowId=WID1411300030322
and getting the below error.
Page not found. Refresh the page or try again later. If the problem persists, contact your Portal administrator for assistance
Is any other configurations missing to launch the my info individual service application via portal as NavigationTarget.
Appreciate your response.
PS: No business packages (WD ABAP based etc.,) are installed in the portal side.
Thanks,
Urmi

Hi All,
The issue got fixed after installing the portal business package, Common Parts ERP 1.61.

Using Webservices in the Self Service UI

WHat is the best practice to show new fields in Self Service UI pages with out changing existing UI elements? We created new proxies for Siebel WSDL and want to show new fields in the UI. We don't want to create new view object and link with AM to show in UI. We are prefering to update the existing VO and use related AM module to fecth the new fields to display in the customization .
Is it the right approach for customization?

Hi,
Thats is what exactly should be done to display new fileds, rather then creating new view objects, add an attribute in existing view object and do bindings of new UI fields to newly created attribute in view object.
Regards,
Vikram

?Embedding custom region as an extension to seeded self-service page.

Hello Tapash/All,
I am extending one of the self service pages to add extra fields on the page to capture information.
This is what I am planning to do based on the comments (from Tapash) that I got from my previous post.
1. Create a custom table with additional columns with the primary key column that I need to capture.
2. Create an EO, VO (based on the custom table) and AM.
3. Create a Region RN.xml (advanced table) for the additional fields (for INSERT, UPDATE and DISPLAY on Query)
4. Create a Controller CO on the Region (code to commit the trx in AMImpl)
5. Attach this RN.xml to the seeded page via personalization.
My question is:
Where and how will the entered data on the new region get inserted/updated into the custom table ? ( Since, I can't create an **Apply/Submit** button separately for the new region....because there is an ***Apply/Submit*** button already exists on that page to process the seeded data.)
Should I extend the Page controller to invoke the apply method from the AMImpl ?Please let me know and Thanks for all the help.

**********Message not found. Application: FND, Message Name: FND_VIEWOBJECT_NOT_FOUND. Tokens: VONAME = xxSuppRegVO; APPLICATION_MODULE = oracle.apps.pos.suppreg.server.SupplierRegAM;
Check if your custom AM is mentioned in the region xml file and not the seeded AM, because oracle.apps.pos.suppreg.server.SupplierRegAM , looks to be seeded AM.xxSuppRegVO is a custom VO, rite and you have not extended any seeded VO? If you have extended seeded VO, have you done substitution and uploaded jpx file on server?--Mukul
