Homepage framework/Overview iView

Hello All,
I am using ESS 1.0. The overview screen for ESS has various areas such as Personal Info, Benefits and Payments etc.
If I want to have one set of users viewing Personal Info and benefits and payments and the second set of users only viewing personal info do I have to create multiple Overview iViews and do the necessary configure in the backend e.g. create numerous 'area group pages' in the homepage framework.
Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks,
Nick.

Nope...no simpler way. That's it. You can use "proxy services/classes" to show/hide services on an Area page dynamically, but when presenting different Areas in an Area Group, you are pretty much stuck making several "versions" of your ESS config. It is not daunting or difficult...just a bit tedious. I had one client with 6 different ESS Homepage Framework versions.....yes, that's how I got to know HF pretty well. haha

What is the benefit of configuring the XSS Homepage Framework for ESS

What is the benefit of configuring the XSS Homepage Framework for ESS?
Over using standard iViews.

It means you can disable (or enable) the exact functionality your customer needs rather than sticking with the default implementation.
Most customes do not use everything available from ESS or MSS. Switching it off (making it unavailable) is WAY better than leaving potentially unconfigured content to be accessed by users. SAP generally do not handle the error cases and you will get lots of nasty stack traces .....

Open external URL from Homepage Framework

Hi,
We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one. Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi Daniel,
Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
1. object name :http:// (url ).
2.window name: "".
3.window Property : target="_blank".
and also check define service:
service type: Direct url launched in a seperate window.
And assign resouce to service -
>
service to sub area--->
sub area to area---->
area to areagroup.
hope it helps............,
Thanks,

Homepage Framework services in Sitemap

Hello Sitemap Gurus,
We used ECC Homepage Framework to setup our ESS pages in Portal. The HF configuration consist of creating the resource link which are attach to area pages.
In turn the area pages are grouped under area group to create the resource which shows on the Portal as page.
The issue we are running into is that we cannot pull the resource services links in the sitemap. Has any one tried pulling the service resource link in the portal sitemap.
Any suggestion on how to do it will be helpfull.
Thanks.

That's correct, work protect mode shouldn't be the problem in your case.
I would probably start from the portal role and drill down through each portal component (i.e. Workset, Page, iView) and check that nothing has a parameter set to open the content in a new browser window.
Doing it this way (as opposed to opening each component) should reveal any delta linked changes to parameters that you may not be able to see when looking directly at the iViews etc.
I am assuming that the right Homepage configuration has been transported to your testing client as well?
Regards,
John

Dynamically hiding the services on homepage framework

Dear All,
Requirement in my case is like for some users some specified links should be visible on the overview page which we configure from SPRO through resources, area pages , services etc
and for others these links shouldnt be visible.
For example : in ESS role one document link is there which should me visible only to one set of users.
To workaround this, we made two ESS roles and replicated all authorizations, with one ESS role having the document link in addition.
But this is very tedious and messy since we need to replicate SPRO config also for the overview page.
Please help if some workaround is possible through portal setting or through service/area page settings.
Thanx

When you say a document link - Is it a service in the homepage framework ?
If your requirement is to provide few extra services (within the same sub area or Area), you can implement a proxy class and implement your custom logic in the proxy class. The proxy class can hide/show the services using it based on your custom logic.
(There is a field for setting a proxy class in the "Define Services" view in the homepage framework).
You can refer to CL_XSS_CAT_1_AREA_PAGE for example implementation which uses interface IF_XSS_SER_PROXY_SERVICE.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Shanti

Participation Overview iView

In Portal ESS> Benefits and Payments > Participation Overview iView is not showing "Flexible Spending" as one of the listed plans.
Please advice.

Use
This service enables employees to view a list of plans in which they are currently enrolled. However, because this service is date-dependent, employees must first specify the desired effective date before their Participation Overview is displayed. Upon specifying that date, employees gain an overview of all benefit plans in which they chose to participate as of that date.
From the Participation Overview, employees can select any particular plan in which they are enrolled, then review the details that are in effect for that plan on the specified date. For example, among other information, employees can review the planu2019s cost, coverage and participation period, as well as dependents and beneficiaries, if applicable.

It's in Dreamweaver, not Fireworks. It's simply a way of
creating a
space in your Dreamweaver page for an image.

You don't create entire web pages in Fireworks. You create
images to use
on web pages in Fireworks. Slice and export them to the
assets folder of
the site you have defined in Dreamweaver. Build the HTML page
in
Dreamweaver with the images you created in Fireworks

New ESS config - Homepage Framework (area group, etc) seems to be missing

Hi,
I am installing the new ESS 1.0 for ECC6 (ERP5).
I succsessfully imported with SDM he new:
ESS BP
PCUI_GP
I then created all systems in the portal and all JCo's.
When I try and open Employee Self-Service (any pages) in the Portal I get the following error:
Area group SAPDEFAULTESSERP2005 does not exist._
It seems like the Homepage Framework has not been imported for some reason as there are no default area groups or anything else in homepage framework.
Have I missed something? Is there something else I also had to import?
Many thanks,
Adriaan

Dear ,
it seems that you are trying to use an ERP2005 ESS package with an
ERP2004 backendsystem. Unfortuanetly this is not working.
You can use
ERP2004 - ECC5 - NW2004 - ESS 100 - ESS BP ERP2004
or
ERP2005 - ECC6 - NW2004s - ESS 600 - ESS1.0 BP ERP2005
However it should be possible to connect the ESS 100 application which
are running on a NW2004 to an EP7.
Hope this should be helpful.
Best Regards,
Deepak...

Homepage Framework - XSS Menu diffrent Systems

Hello,
is it possible to have the application XSSMenu (Homepage framework) from 2 diffrent SAP Systems in one portal?
I´ve tried to use the parameter sap-wd-arfc-useSys and created the additional JCo destinations - but now i get an error
"Accessing System AAA is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved using System BBB. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections properly"
any suggestions?
br franz

Make sure you followed all the instructions in this link
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW70/helpdata/EN/f4/651741f163f023e10000000a155106/content.htm

Hope it works for you.

MSS Status overview iview Objective Settings & appraisals

Hi All,
Currently the status overview Iview of MSS for appraisals display all the employees(in org unit) irrespective of whether the employee/appraisee has existing documents. This is because this Iview also has the functionality of creating the appraisal documents from here.
In our case we don't create appraisal documents from this Ivew, so we hide the "In Preparation".
Now the question is we want to filter the employees and display only those who has appraisal documents already created. How could we achive this?
All we need is: We wanted to give an view to higher level manager with all the employees who has apprisal documents in completed status and he need to just approve/reject. Is there any other way we can achive this with out using the Status Overview Iview. I am not able to locate any bsp which serves this purpose from HAP_DOCUMENT.
Please adive me, how can I achive this.
Apprciate your inputs and any kind of help.
Thank You,
Hari.

Hi, Check HAP_CALIBRATION / search.htm and result.htm you can enhance his behavior modifying filtering,
Best Regards.-

ESS Configuration for Homepage Framework

I am an experienced web developer but new to SAP web Technologies and any info is much appreciated...
I now have an understanding how the SAP IMG configuration affects the SAP Portal ESS interface but ultimately what tells the ESS Portal to use the appropriate entry in the SAP IMG config
My objective is to setup the ESS portal to use a complete new set of config entries. Is there an easy way to do this?
For example in the Define Area Group page, what tells the portal to use "SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005" and not my entry "MyEntrySAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005".
SAPDEFAULTESS
SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005
MyEntrySAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005
Thank you,
James Pina

The Iviews within the Portal ESS role tell the system what menus to use. The intial Overview iview has parameters for the Header and Area Key which come standard pointing to the standard SAP Config entries. Also, each subarea has an Iview in the Portal that points to the Header, AreaGroup and Area key which also point to the standard SAP config entries.
To create your own menus, you will need to change the config in the IMG and then change the parameters within the Portal Iviews to point to your new config.
This link will explain in detail.

Status overview iview Objective Settings & appraisals

Hi,
is there a way to hide some status columns in the status overview iview of objective settings and appraisals. we tried by deactivating the available status in the appraisal template, but it does not seem to affect the iview.
we would like to hide them since they are not used in our process.
we are using ECC 5.0.
regards,
Bert Caryn

Hi
In our case, if a status is not used in Appraisal Template (in tcode OOAM - tab 'Status Flow' for the template - we removed the check against the unwanted status), that status column does not appear in Status Overview iView.
This is FYI. I don't know why this is not the case with you, but you may un-release and release the template and check again.
One more point - You may check view named V_TWPC_ACOL (Assign Columns to a Column Group). In this, you can set column visibility parameters such as Visible, Invisible and Do Not Display.
Hope this helps.

Vikas Bhatia
