Hey Bhargava,
Be specific What is your exact requirement do you want the complete set of configuration of ESS/MSS on Portal EP 6.0 or EP 7.0, which will just installed the

How to Integrate ESS/MSS to Webdynpro Application?

Hi All,
I am New to Webdynpros.
I Want to Develop Application on Webdynpro and integrate to ESS/MSS.
How to Start and what to do?
Plz Reply ASAP.
Thanks and Regards
Kiran

Most of the application in ESS have used the FPM (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/3f/20888224c544a2a01d9fe618902ae5/frameset.htm) to develop new self service applications.
You may start developing applications as described in the help link and then integrate it with ESS. You will have to maintain some setting under Homepage Framework in SPRO. There are plenty of threads describing this. Do search

How to Config ESS & MSS

Hello Masters
Could u send a best Link on
Configuring ESS & MSS
Thanks

Hi,
1. Can SAP control ESS/MSS not to allow (to grey field approval ) user to change the approval fields?If yes, how to config this?
There are multiple ways to achieve this, you can achieve it through config or by personalizing the WD screen.
Easiest will be to personalize the Web Dynpro screen.
a. Preview the Leave request application through Content Administration.
b. Press Ctrl+Right Click on the approver field.
c. In the Personalization dialog select Read only.
2. Instead of default Head of org unit as approval, can I skipped it to the another superior higher than him/her.For example i'm in org A. Org A under Support dept. I want to to set default approval for staff 2 level org unit above him/her.
All the custom logic can be implemented by implementing the BADI
PT_GEN_REQ (as of Release 5.00)
BAdI: Control Processing Processes for Web Applications
PT_ABS_REQ (from Release 5.00)
Enhancements for Leave Request
3. For some leave ie Hosp leave, how to default approval to HR manager.
same as above
4.For project staff, can we put his supervisor as a approval.
same as above
5. I want to hide leave not to allow staff to see his mc balance only. How to config this.However, the staff stil apply via ess/mss to the approval.
I didn't understand the requirement. Can you please elaborate ?
Thanks
Prashant

How to display ESS/MSS in different NW Portal

Hello Experts,
We are running ESS/MSS on a NW 6.0 portal. Now, we have a requirement to also display this ESS/MSS content on another portal which is running on NW 7.01 (we do not wish to install ESS/MSS on this server).
What is the best way to accomplish this? Could you please give me some advise and links to articles or blogs on the web that has step by step instructions? I searched around, but was unable to find anything related to this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Abu

According to SAP's FPN's prerequisites and Version Interoperability guide
SAP NetWeaver consumer and producer portals should all be running SAP NetWeaver 7.0
SAPNetWeaver '04 is not supported.
Additional details: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/45/76322bf0020dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
In fact there are issues if multiple SPS on NW7 are used (for instace producer is SP09 and consumer is SP11). Note 1005176 talks about patching some of the components to fix the issue.
So, FPN is out of the question. Has anyone done it using the Portals' URL or appIntegrator iView?

How to modify ESS/MSS iviews without NWDI

Hi Everybody,
The last couple of day's I have been searching the forums to find an answer to the above mentioned question. Is there a way to modify the ess/mss iviews without NWDI?
I have tried allmost anything I could think off... Unzip the files and import the files manualy into nwds etc...
After while I saw a posting that SCA files could be imported in the latest version of NWDS, I was able to import the SCA files of SAP into NWDS 7.1, but I am not able to create a project out of them. Probably this will also lead to issues when uploading the newly build sca files into portal 7.0.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Xander

Hi Xander,
Some time ago I had the same question as you and as you I tried several things to load the SCA file to NWDS but after several tests it was loaded but without the screens.
I was able to create the project but it was missing many things when I tried to compile the project, the reason for this is that the ESS Package has a dependency in other SC as specified in the SAP Note 872892 - JDI/NWDI Cookbook for ESS/XSS (NWDI.zip File).
When you have all the dependencies (SCA files) it is a bout 700 MB which is a lot to load locally and figuring out exactly what you need will take a long time so at the end I could not use any trick to avoid the use NWDI as I only had to do 1 change to 1 DC ess/ca/padata so installing NWDI was an overhead for that only change, but at the end I have to do it.
I found the same posting as you and it seems NWDI 7.1 has the feature to do exactly what we needed.
But if you want to modify just the iviews as you are mentioning in your post you can do this straight in EP Content after copying your own content from the SAP standard content to do your modifications.
Best regards,
Juan Jose

Linkage between ESS/MSS Resource Server -- Resource Object in ERP 2004

Dear all,
I have a question about settings in the backend configuration of ESS/MSS:
In the IMG activitiy, you define Resource Servers. And then you can choose a specific server for a Resource Object. Though, when I look into an already setup ESS/MSS-solution at customer site, I cannot find that any of the resource objects in use have a specific server entered - only relative paths.
How does this work then? How does the system know where (on which portal system) to find a specific portal page/image object that a resource object links to? Is there a 'default' resource server used?
Your help is much appreciated!

Hi Prakash
This is the end of the dev_jrfc.trc from the abap/j2ee webdynpro server:
Error file opened at 20050608 101523 British Summer Time Rel 6.40
Error> occured >Wed Jun 08 10:15:23,406< >RfcGetException rc (7) message: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received
<RfcGetException
Error> occured >Wed Jun 08 10:17:28,544< >RfcGetException rc (7) message: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received
<RfcGetException
The portal dev_jrfc.trc does not report any errors.
Other information I should have mentioned: EP uses LDAP for user directory, the ABAP system uses its own user management, the J2EE on the ABAP server uses its own user management. The user I am testing with is the same name in all 3 systems and has full admin permissions in each.
Thanks, Fergus

ESS & MSS Role

Hi Experts
How to map ESS & MSS roles to ECC 6.0 Roles in EP.
Say for example in ECC 6.0 we have a user A and User B.
User A have some addtional attributes and User B does not have it
How to map this two users in EP.
Thanks
Daya.
Edited by: daya damu on May 27, 2008 8:27 PM

Hi Daya,
You will have to do the user mapping,
It can be done in two ways,
1. Go to user administration and once you enter user A, you will have an option of "User mapping".
2. When you are logged onto the portal, click, personalize option and choose "User Mapping".
User mapping is basically done when the portal users and ECC users are different.
Let me know if you need any further clarification on the same.
Cheers,

BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS 1.0 required for ESS/MSS?

Is BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS 1.0 required for ESS/MSS 603? the link below talked about how to deploy ESS/MSS, it does not mentino BP for common parts
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=31476
but in the linke that talks about how to get rid of mismatch for ESS/MSS, it has BP for common part listed https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOWTOGETRIDOFSPSTACKMISMATCHISSUES
I looked at online help for this BP, it says it is for system asministrators, but looks like it also have business functions listed in the iview. http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/eb/bd8a42f802a01ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
I'm confused - to use ESS/MSS 603, do I really need BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS 1.0?
Thanks,
Jane Zhou

The MSS business package uses objects from other business packages. These objects are listed in the Shared Objects in This Business Package section. If you want to use these objects, you must also implement the relevant business package.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/29/d7844205625551e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c1/85b17cc78246258b85dd69af5ece17/frameset.htm
If you are planning to use any of the shared objects - then you will need the BP for Commom Parts as well.
Also, the BP for common parts connects different shared services between ESS and MSS - for you to be able to use both of them in conjunction.
Without installing the BP for common parts, some components might not work properly.
Hence It is recommended to install this BP along with ESS and MSS.
Hope that helps !!
Thanks,
Shanti
