Global information about ESS/MSS

I would like to have a global overview about the different existing versions on SAP using ESS/MSS portal:
Different versions(e.g: R/3 4.6, ECC 5.0-ECC 6.0 EP5.0 etc..) /Technical installation
System requirements
Fonctionalities
Can someone provide more information ?
Thanks in advance.

Look at the information in http://help.sap.com for EACH version you are interested in. Also, keep in mind that most are backwards compatible (so, theoretically even on ECC5, you could run 4.6c ITS services if you so desired). For installation information, also check the documents on http://service.sap.com (can not post here because they are copywritten and part of the Marketplace access).

Basic Information on ESS/MSS

Hello Guru's,
Kindly send me basic details about ESS/MSS.
Edited by: Prashanth Doggali on Nov 27, 2010 2:07 PM

Hi,
Please read this which is helpful....
ESS = Employee Self Service
It was designed to provide employees with a front-end user friendly way of maintaining their own details critical to HR operations
The idea was to reduce the amount of data entry which would need to be performed by HR (administrators or back office staff)
Employees could maintain or change their own details to ensure accuracy
The core components are
CA-ESS-WD
CA-ESS-ITS
PA-ESS-OCY/US/DE
PA-ESS-XX
These cover mainly the ESS screens for basic PA infotype updates and the back-end handling
ESS also provides a guided procedure application called Life and Work Events
Life and Work Events is a step by step workflow for employees particularly new employees (commonly known as My First Days) to maintain their details or document changes in their working life.
This is specifically for US customers however I believe customers can adapt it for their own countries
For further information see
Architecture of ESS
ESS environment consists of a front-end and a back-end system
The ECC system is the back-end R/3 system which contains HR master data and ESS related back-end code and customizing
The Portal is a J2EE server handling browser enquiries from front-end users - it provides the front-end environment for the end user
The front-end communicates with the back-end via a JCO connection JCO is a method of RFC communication between ABAP and JAVA
ESS is viewable via a browser (Internet Explorer etc)
The possibilities of usable browser versions depend on the Portal versions recommendations
A user is given a role which contains a workset, pages and iviews
An example of a role is the Employee Self Services tab in a Portal
An example of a workset is Overview tab in Portal
An example of a page would be the Overview Page
The layout of ESS is determined mostly by Homepage Framework (HpF) customizing in the Implementation Guide (IMG)
HpF is supported by component CA-GTF-TS-XSS
other things you need to configure like AREA GROUP PAGE , AREA PAGE , SUB AREAS, SERVICES, RESOURCES..
thanks

You can find the package :- Click to goto [SAP Portal Content Portfolio|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio] --> Business Packages for Specialists --> Business Package for HR Administrator (mySAP ERP)
And documentation regarding it is available [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/98/32e842cd990121e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Once you this, you will need Adobe License (check note : 736902) and need to configure ADS if you plan to create new forms.

Help about ESS/MSS - Deploy error and landscape question

Hi.
I read a lot of post about this topic, but I continue something confuse about them.
I want to configure ESS and MSS.
My landscape is:
- J2EE 7.0 with Portal 7.0 (2004s) in a server A.
- ECC 5.0 ( with HR component SP05) in a server B.
Server B, has only stack Abap.
Server A is the latest version of Netweaver today. (stack j2ee and stack abap, BI, XI, Portal, etc)
I download and deploy in server A (J2EE 7.0), this components:
- BP ESS for erp2004
- BP MSS for erp2004
When I deploy the ESS BP, the deployment break raising this kind of error with the most of components, for example:

===========================================================================
Deployment started Tue Apr 10 12:01:57 ART 2007
===========================================================================

Please, look at error logs above for more information!
Deployment of SAP_ESS finished with Error (Duration 4781 ms)

Obviously, for this reason the most of iviews raise errors. A few of these works ok.
I assign role, and others configuration steps, this part I thinks that is OK
I configured the Jco, the role in Portal, the profile in ERP for ESS, etc.
My principal question is:
Can I use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0 in order tu use ESS/MSS based on webdynpro, without stack j2ee in ECC server (B) ?
Is necesary install J2ee stack in my server B ? or not?
Where I need to deploy the XSS 500 components ? in the J2EE 7.0 ?
Why when I deploy have this problem and the most of components cant deploy it?
For my landscape, which is the recommended setup ?
thanks in advance.!
Leandro.

My principal question is:
Can I use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0 in order tu use ESS/MSS based on webdynpro, without stack j2ee in ECC server (B) ?
You can use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0
Is necesary install J2ee stack in my server B ? or not?
You don't need to install J2EE stack on ECC system
Where I need to deploy the XSS 500 components ? in the J2EE 7.0 ?
Deploy XSS on Portal server not on ECC.
Why when I deploy have this problem and the most of components cant deploy it?
There won't be any issue. Go for ERP 2005
For my landscape, which is the recommended setup ?
As per the landscape mentioned by you, I will suggest go for ERP 2005 & XSS 600.
If you have further queries, mail me at [email protected]

A question about ESS / MSS implementation.

Hi All,
Just a brief again about our landscape as:
1. We have an ERP ECC5.0 system which has J2EE6.40(add-in) without the 'EP' usage type and the present Support package level of the relevant ESS and MSS components are as follows:
a. J2EE6.40 Support Package level is '17'.(We are going to deploy the XSS components here)
b. ERP ECC5.0 system's Software Components details are as follows:
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS RELEASE LEVEL HIGHEST SUPPORT PACKAGE APPLIED
SAP_BASIS 640 0016 SAPKB64016
SAP_ABA 640 0016 SAPKA64016
SAP_APPL 500 0009 SAPKH50009
SAP_HR 500 0019 SAPKE50019
EA-HR 500 0005 SAPKGPHC05
2. We have a separate NW2004s(Dual stack(ABAP7.0+J2EE7.0) installation having EP7.0 with Support Package level is '16'. (We are going to deploy the Business Package for ESS & MSS here).
Here are my questions?
1. what is the best 'Support Package' level recommendation or combination is applicable for all the components(J2EE6.40,SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR...etc.,) involved in this type of mixed landscape - ESS & MSS implementation?
2. If we apply the higher Support Packages 'only' for the ERP ECC5.0 software components such as: SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR - what other ERP ECC5.0 software components would get impacted from functionality prespective ?(let us say if we keep the current Support Package level for other software components as untouched)
3. Is there any dependency exist from the Support Package point-of-view between the ESS MSS Business Packages and with XSS components(PCUI_GP; ESS; MSS)
4. Is there any dependency exist from the Support Package point-of-view between XSS components and ERP ECC5.0 software components such as "SAP_BASIS,SAP_ABA,SAP_APPL,SAP_HR,EA-HR"
Kindly address my above concerns.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay
To answer your questions
First you should check note 1007341 which helps consultants proposing this type of landscape
To answer some of your questions
1) For SPs you have to patch ERP 2004 components following ERP 2004 stack and patch
    ERP 2005 components following the ERP2005 stack recommendations at www.service.sap.com/sp-stacks
    in terms of equivalence levels I would select SP levels from each stack with similiar release dates
2) Presumably you will be using ERP2004 components in the front-end in some capacity therefore these
    ERP2004 components must be patched in line with ECC 500 stacks
3) There is dependancies between Business Packages and XSS
4) There is dependancies between back-end components SAP_HR and EA_HR and XSS/BP
    SAP_HR and EA_HR also have their own dependancies with the other back-end components listed
Best wishes

About ESS/MSS -Undeployment

Hi to All
I have undeployed ESS but still in the EP server its showing the roles and workset of ESS
how to remove that what is the process for undeploment
thank you
pavan

When you undeploy ESS/MSS business package it will remove the actual application but will not remove the pcd content( likeiviews/worksets ) automatically, You need to remove the corresponding ESS/MSS folder itself.

Hi Kiran,
There is no need to develop iViews for ESS. ESS comes with all iViews, pages, and roles provided by SAP. All you need to do is assign the ESS role to the end user.
Firstly answer these questions:-
1) Why do you need to develop WebDynpro iViews for ESS?
2) Have you already downloaded ESS Business Package and using it?
3) Have you got the NWDI installed?
4) Have you got NetWeaver Developer Studio installed?
If you can manage to answer these questions clearly, I hope someone might be able to help you?
Assign Points if you find this helpful!!!
Kind Regards,
Gopal.
