Good Afternoon Tiberiu.
The business requirements is that the managaer can select an employee and with this can display the data of the Query. The issue is How can do this?
I test the query and this work fine. I did the steps that are in the following blog_
/people/raj.balakrishnan3/blog/2006/03/21/get-your-sap-queries-onto-the-portal-in-a-hurry
does it work independent of FPM?
I want that first the manager display the employee in his area of responsability. and the second that when the manager select an empleoyee , the system execute and display the data of the Query.
I dont' know if this is posible using OADP and I can integrate the Query.

Generic iViews in MSS- problem with launching in the general information

Hi,
My requirement is to display information with a custom query (display info from P0008) in the General Information.
For this, we have chosen to work with Generic iViews.
I have followed the following links:
Link: [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/6c/9358f7d8dc43838e4f1135b9c37adb/content.htm]
Link: [MSS Generic iView not working in General Information Page ]
The problem i am facing is with Launching the iView Wizard and General Information provided in the 1st link. I am not able to continue with the pointsd under Portal Content Administration
Thanks,
Pinki

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for the reply. But my query was not regarding ESS in MSS.
Its about Generic iViews where you can fetch data using custom queries and user groups and display the same in the general information. I have attached the link provided by SAP below. There are mainly 3 parts to the config:
1. Creating of custom query.
2. Using FPM to add the generic iview for list to the perspective of the FPM appl of General information.
3. Then creating the WD iview of the added view within General information from content Admin and then adding the WD page to the General information page.
This is my comprehension of the steps provided. However there is one of the link within the Portal Content Admin that does not work.
Please find the link from help.sap.com below:

Web Dynpro Development Components missing for MSS

Hey Guys...
The following BPs are installed on our landscape:
○       Business Package for Manager Self-Service (SAP ERP) 1.3
○       Business Package for Common Parts (SAP ERP) 1.3
○       Business Package for Project Self-Service (SAP ERP) 1.0
○       Business Package for HR Administrator (SAP ERP) 1.1
The ECC is EHP 3, SP 14 and EP is 7.0 SP 14
I've been trying to set up iViews for MSS but I see that all Web Dynpro Applications specified in the technical information of iViews are missing. I searched for Web Dynpro Development Components in the EP and all MSS related WDC are just missing.
According to SAP Help Documentation (http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/en/76/77594d165144a1a9bff9aae1e26b26/content.htm) these are required:
Web Dynpro Development Components:
○       PCUI_GP
○       MSS
○       SAP_PSS
Where can I get them??? Is it possible our basis didn't install the right Business Package?

Seems you have got right business packages, though have a look at note [1303362|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1303362] to confirm dependency.
"but I see that all Web Dynpro Applications specified in the technical information of iViews are missing."
Well this could be because of errorsome business package deployment, you can still check list of deployed components from SDM and if there is any error log for deployement, you should try to deploy them again(update existing components).
Hope this helps. If not then probably you should go Content Admin - WebDynpro and see list of application listed under MSS.. if those referred applications are available then try to execute them.
And last one.. if you "think" they wont run.. or you have actually tried to run MSS and none of applications are working. you should be able to run standard package without any major configuration chanegs.. so give it a go.. and see if you encounter any error.
Cheers

Missing iView for Business Events in MSS 1.31

Hi,
We made an upgrade from ERP 4.7 to ECC 6.0, and we can't find the iView "Business Events". Do you know if this service still valid in the version 1.31 of MSS?. In the previous version the tecnical name of the service was com.sap.pct.hcm.eeprofileeventdetails.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Carlos.

Hi Carlos
I think this is now part of the SAP Learning Solution - at least delivered iviews in MSS require
Learning Solution infotypes to be populated
The equivalent in ERP2005 would be
com.sap.pct.erp.mss.personneldev_trainingactivities

Problem with Generic iView Lists in EP6

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our portal from EP5 SP5 to EP6 SR1. I have a page that has 9 iViews on it, and there are 5 of them that are generic iView lists. In EP5, everything works great. Each generic iView list returns the information relating to that iView. But in EP6, I am running into a problem.
When I am trying to load the same page, some of the iViews to not work. So I recreated the query iViews using the SAP delivered "com.sap.pct.hcm.eeprofilegenericiviewlist" template in EP6. I go back to the page and the same thing happens. I try refreshing the page, and then more of the iViews work, but now another problem arises.
Example: I have an iView that displays the salary data of an employee, and another that displays the Home Address. I refresh the screen and the Salary Data iView works fine, but the Home Address is now showing the Salary Data information.
So, I'm at a loss as to what I should do. I know that there is a lot of configuration for the iViews now under the Property Editor and I think that I might have something that is not set up properly.
Is there documentation on what needs to be set up for the generic iView list if there are multiple generic iView list iViews on the screen?
I guess I should mention too that these iViews are in MSS and all work off of the Team Viewer. The team viewer iView is based off the EP5 version of the par, not the EP6. Could that be the problem?
Hope this makes some sense.
Thanks and best regards,
Kevin

Just thought I'd let people know I have solved the problem.
Even though I had created brand new iViews in EP6, they still act like EP5 iViews. So after researching the help files, I changed the isolation method of all the iViews on the page from Embedded to URL.
Food for thought!!

Adhoc Query iview for IT0006 and IT0021

Hi All
SAP has given page in MSS for IT0006 and IT0021 - 'Generic iview Test Page'. This page has 3 iViews : one for employee search , second for IT0006 and third for IT0021. This page is working ok and retrieving data from back end.
But If I replace IT0006 or IT00021 query with my own query then the error on Page is 'System cannot retrieve data'
SAP standard query given in iview property is MSS_IT0006, If I replace this query with my query ZMSS_IT0006 then I get above error.
I have created query ZMSS_IT0006 in work area:- global , usergroup:- /SAPQUERY/MS
Is there any aditional config need if we replace standard SAP query by our own query?
Amit.

in the adhoc query we can select the periods based on the frequency but the dates will not get default
As in the Pay roll driver the dates get defaulted based on the settings made in Control Record Status
so i dont think this is possible thru Standrad
let wait for expert views

Custom FPM Application for MSS

Hi folks,
I am trying to create some custom portal pages for MSS that will contain the Employee Search and other iViews based on the Generic iView List and/or Generic iView Table templates.
The Business Package document for MSS (mySAP ERP) says that I have to create a new delta-linked FPM Application and assign the required views to the perspective, which I have done via the Self Service Administrator role.
The problem is, when I then try to create the new WebDynpro Java iViews, I can't see my FPM Application or views in the list.
I am aware that I can just add extra views to the standard FPM Applications for MSS, but I really don't want to risk having those overwritten by support packs later on.
Has anyone successfully done this before?
Regards,
John

btw, I was kidding about the creators of the old FPM sitting in the corner
When the new Java based ESS/MSS screens first came out they were so much better than the old IAC's, and we were very grateful for that. We used them extensively where they could just be deployed "out of the box".
Once we figured out how to integrate our own generic query iViews into the FPM framework for MSS we used lots of those too.
I guess in a way they were too successful, and as a result the business kept demanding more and more self service applications that often weren't delivered as standard.
Not being a Java shop (i.e. zero Java developers) we soon found that there was only so far we could go with the standard WDJ services. Even something relatively simple like adding another standard field to a standard ESS screen without going down the NWDI path proved to be a rather frustrating process (for us at least), so we just started buidling our own with WDA.
From a functional perspective, I don't really care if an application has been built in Java or Abap, as long as it does what I want, every time. I can't see us going back and changing the standard Java services that we still use over to Abap, but for future developments the reality for us and lots of other customers is WDA.
cheers.

To change the Email retrieval logic for MSS in Portal

Hi All,
In standard MSS Business Package for employee selection Iview, under column email, manager get an option to send mail to employee by clicking on highlighted send option.
At present the option "SEND" get highlighted if the email value is maintained in IT0105 and manager is able to send mail to employee on the same email address.
Now in my scenario instead of getting the email address from IT0105, I need to get the email address maintained in transaction SU01.
And the problem in doing this is, for highlighting the "SEND" link under employee selection ivew, standard SAP code uses a
method GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS of class CL_HRWPC_SER_EMAIL in which they use a function module HRWPC_READ_CONTACT to check if the email address exist in IT0105 or not.
I can overite this check by using a implicit enhancement in method GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS based on email in SU01. But my concern is, if use an implicit
enhancement, then all the application using this method will retrieve data based on SU01 entry, instead of IT0105.
This email address retrieval based on SU01 entry is only required for MSS and it is not a common requirement.
So please suggest me a solution, so that i can get the "SEND" option highlighted only for email address based on SU01 entry only for MSS.
Also suggest me how to check the which all application are using method GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS.
As where used list only give me interface where this method is called and interface is called dynamically.
Thanks
Namit

Hi Namit,
I think your question is more related to in another forum (HCM).
This is not a portal specific question, but more or less related to function modules and BADIs.
But maybe someone else can help you on this one. I think there is no list of applications that use GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS. As far as I can remember, the only application that sends emails in ESS/MSS is this teamoverview page.
Kind regards,
Noel

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for taking time and answering. So, how do I integrate the Org Chart iVIew with these Position Profile and Organizational Unit Profiles pages? We do not need all the iViews that come with these pages. We only need the following
Position Profile
- Employee Group/Subgroup
- Holders
-Organizational Unit Profiles
-Organizational Unit Search
-Position Holders

Developing JSP iViews for PCR on R/3 4.6C Backend??

I have read several posts and have looked into a lot of documentation, but there still seems to be some confusion regarding MSS/PCR and EP 6.0.
Here is some background:
We are planning to upgrade our portal from Workplace 2.11 to SAP EP 6.0 (NW04). We have an R/3 4.6C backend and we are using ITS forms for our PCRs.
When we move to the EP 6.0, I see two ways of proceeding:
1. Use IAC iView on ITS and just call our ITS based forms from the EP 6.0. This means we keep our standalone ITS.
OR
2. Develop JSP iViews for our PCR forms on EP 6.0. This way, we would no longer need ITS.
My confusion is whether I can actually do option 2. After upgrading to EP 6.0 and installing the plug in 2003.1, can I develop PCR forms using JSP iView with a R/3 4.6C backend?
Thanks,
Younoos

I am not sure anyone can give you specific guarantees regarding development and use of your own custom JSP iviews ITS or otherwise
What I can say is -->
Certainly from a SAP perspective the delivered MSS Business Package 60.1.20 (HTMLB with JSP PCRs) is useable
in the landscape versions you mentioned (46C with EP6) as per following link
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/302ecc07-a56d-2910-8fad-84996151e3b4
Therefore MSS PCRS based on JSP is possible in EP6 with 46C
Its also not clear why your ITS based forms are being abolished - if you back-end remains 46C - then presumably these should
still work - either called directly via ITS URL string given to users or integrated into EP 6 as a ITS iview or Portal HpF service calling ITS URL directly - the only reason I can think is that perhaps your ITS forms has a Workplace 2.11 dependancy or other dependancies I am not aware of.

How to Configure Overview of Organizational Units iView in MSS 5.0/6.0

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea on how to configure the "Overview of Organizational Units" iView in MSS to work with the HR backend?
When I click on the Organizational Unit in the iView, it does not link me to a new page and no Organizational Unit overview pops out.
Any form of help or hints is deeply appreciated.
Many many thanks in advance.

Hi Leong Ko,
In order for this to work, first and foremost your userid has to be linked to some "manager" employee of your choice in infotype 105, subtype 0001.
Secondly, the position that this "manager" employee is holding has to be assigned to one organisational unit (technically relationship A003, but you can do this from transaction PPOME).
Thirdly, the position in question has to be marked as "chief position" (in technical terms relationship A012-manages between the position and the org. unit to which it belongs). This can also be done from transaction PPOME.
If the organisational unit to which the position belongs has, in turn, subordinate org. units, these will also be shown in the Iview.
Of course you will have to be logged on to the portal with your userid (the one that you assigned to the employee in infotype 105) for this to work. It will not work if you are just testing the Iview without being logged on.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Rodrigo

Not able to get ESS iviews for 80 and 80C

Dear All,
We have implemented ESS MSS BP (ERP 2005 EHP3) and have standard iviews working on the portal.
But when i preview the iview for section 80 and 80 C, i get the following error.
" com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException: Failed in WD JNDI lookup. javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No child found in WebDynproContext with name essinsec80 "
Also, am not able to find the application in the Webdynpro Administrator.
Can somebody throw their experiences regarding why this is occuring and how this can be resolved.
Thanks
Regards
Piyush Bhurangi

Hi Piyush,
ESS MSS BP (ERP 2005 EHP3)
as you said earlier that you have applied EHP3 .
But the pacth you have applied is EHP4 and not EHP3
BP_ERP5ESS 1.41 SP3 (1000.1.41.3.0.20090430054002)
And this is a cause of the problem which you are facing .
You are applying the BP which is relase EHP4 and you SAP_ESS is on relase 600 as well as your backend patch is also not equivalent for BP -ESS EHP4.
So the solution is ;-
If you have to use BP-ESS with EHP4 , then you have to upgrade you backend SAP_HR with EHP4 and SAP_ESS patch with 603.
Thanks
Anil

Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

Hi,
I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
Thanks
John
P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

@John
(1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
(2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
Hope this helped!

Missing iviews for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation

Hi, We are implementing "Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation" in R/3 version 5(mySAP ERP). At present we have the following Business packs in our Enterprise Portal Server. 60.1.5 and 60.1.1(mySAP ERP 2004). We uploaded both the BP's in our test environment to make sure we get all the iveiws that we need.
SAP presentation has all the iviews, But we are unable to locate/identify under MSS the iviews for "Web Based Detail Planning for Line Managers", "Detail Planning: Detail Costs per Cost Object" and so forth for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation component.
We researched other BP's such as 50.4.5 and 50.3.9 but in vain.
We truly appreciate if some can guide us to get these iviews.

Finally I got the answer and thought I can share this with you all.....
For Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation, SAP has not delivered mss iViews, but SAP has realized the detail planning pages for the line manager and the personnel cost planner by using the Business Server Page (BSP) "hrhcp_planning".
You can find the description of it's usage in the online documentation under the following path:
Human Resources>Personnel Management>Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation-->Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation Flow -->Creating Personnel Cost Plans
--> Providing Detail Planning for Line Managers
--> Detail Planning by Line Managers
--> Detail Planning by the Personnel Cost Planner
If you wish to use the detail planning page in an mss environment, you can integrate the BSP as an external service into the manager's portal. Otherwise, you can also use it, by providing the URL to the managers.
