Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS

Could somebody let me know what exactly is the use of Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS packages.
Points will be awarded for brief answers.

Hi Lina,
Guided procedures are basically for enabling access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes.
CAF Guided Procedures (CAF GP) is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools.
Also, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks.

Also we can know how you integrate existing applications and services into the GP framework
The below link tells about GP to ESS

  • I need step-by-step procedure for ESS/MSS Security??

    Hi, I need step by step procedure for ESS/MSS security. I know the Structural .Authorization , but i dont know how this ESS/MSS security is. Could you please help me with any step by step notes of your personal. Please i dont want any best practices from help.sap.com. I already gone through those links, but i didnt get how to maintain security for ESS/MSS.

    Hi @mehdijon 
    I can help. There is no full feature software and driver available from HP, but the OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU).
    With this driver you can still print and scan, you just wont have HP software to scan from. Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is only available when using HP Scan software, thus it will not work because there is no HP scan software as apart of the Apple Software Update driver.
    Instead, you can scan using,
    Method one: Scan from the Print & Scan window   
    Method two: Scan from Apple Preview
    Method three: Scan from Apple Image Capture 
    I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions are have any difficulty using any of these methods, please let me know what method you are trying and what the issue/error is.

    I follow these steps exactly but am confused by the last one....where is this?  I cant see how to enable the services under the work and life events tab in ESS.
           7.      You process the standard portal roles for each process in the Design Time area. To assign the required users to the portal roles, proceed as follows:
                                a.      Select the required activity.
                                b.      In the detailed view, choose Standard Roles.
                                c.      Select the required user and choose Add.
                                d.      Select the required portal role and assign it to the selected users.

  • SAP ESS/MSS Functional Guide

    Hello Experts,
    I am new to ESS/MSS, so can anyone provide me with a proper Functional & Technical guide on ESS/MSS, also it would be great if you all provide me with a specific configuration guide on installing ESS/MSS. I have already searched some forums on this, but there was no concrete doc available.
    I already have ESS / MSS Configuration (SAP Best Practices for SAP HCM V2.600) (N06) Building Block Configuration Guide & ESS HELP CAESS .
    But if you have something more on this then please share.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amit Naik

    Hi
    Maybe you can follow the following steps :
    1.you need to identify what is your requirement for the Employee and the Manager.
    2. you need to sit with your portal consultant to check out what views are available for the functionality required.
    3. You need to create a ess user (your basis consultant can help you to do that by running hruser)
    4. you can login onto the portal and check out whether the standard views have what you require or is there some change required.
    4. they you can go to the r/3 system and and use transaction simg_sport for getting to mss configuration quickly.
    5. Ess configuration you will find at under spro-> personnel management - > employee self service- > service specific settings...
    A guide to configure will be very generic and may not directly help. the documentation against each spro node is quite helpful. do write for any other specifics.
    all the best.

  • ESS Guided procedure Default role assignment

    We are implementing ESS in EP7 with ECC 6.0
    After setting up Life and Work events it seems that there are default roles Administrator and Overseer that need to be assigned to portal roles, I am just not sure what portal roles to assign.  Are these supposed to be assigned to Guided procedure type roles or to MSS type roles?
    Any insight would be helpful

    Hi Gail,
    These roles are for the GP processes.
    The Default Roles should be configured for each process
    This is an important step as this will ensure that the process is started without the user having to assign users who have will administer and oversee the execution of the process. Typically the users who are assigned to the processes as Administrators are the HR administrators and overseers could be managers. However this is not a hard-and-fast rule and this has to be decided at the time of implementation.
    hope this helps!!

  • ESS Guided Procedures EXIT

    Hi,
    we are using ESS Travel Management Scenario with EP70 and Web dynpro with a ERP2005 HR Backend. (Create Travel Request/Expense etc)
    We are using a layout with detailed navigation on the left side.
    Our Problem is: Once a WD Guided Procedure (like Create Travel request) is started by the user, he cannot exit anymore. There is no BACK option or EXIT button or so.
    If the user clicks on the left side in the detailed navigation link, the portal starts another screen in a separate new window, as long as the guided procedure is there and active. But in the new window, the personal number is locked, of course.
    The only way to exit a guided procedure that is not finished, is to log off or to close the window.
    How can I give the user the option to exit the guided procedure properly?

    Hi Holger,
      This is because the GP is not releasing locks properly. There was a work around suggested, where in the forced lockproperty  is set to true in the GP iview that is used in the ESS.

    Sharadha

  • ESS Guided Procedures My Firs Days link, GRANT POINTS!!!!

    Hi All,
    I have created a custom GP for the First Days in ESS and I have to replace existing First Days GP
    Area Page for Life and work Events contains links (eg First Days , Benefits etc)  First Days link trigger execution of GP, calling it by Process ID
    Question: Where in IMG, I configure that relation
    My First Days Link --- Guided Procedure Process ID?

    In continuation of my question...
    In order to use Life and Work Events application (For Non US)..
    I updated the process template id in resource definition in SPRO transaction.
    Earlier it was :
    URL Parameter : process.template.id=CECE64A19C8F11DAA5C1000E7FA67AEB&process.autostart=true (for US)
    now I have changed it to
    URL Parameter : process.template.id=CE140F51C11711D9824C000BCD45EE55&process.autostart=true (for non US)
    So now I guess I am actually picking up non US application..
    But now when I try to access application :
    Personal Data in My first days
    Family/member dependent
    I am getting below error :
    The following ABAP Exception occurred: SERVICEKEY_INVALID:
