How to start learning XPATH and XQUERY

Hello
Please I am needing some guide to know if there is a guide that I could follow so that I can handle from the very beginning till the end an XML Document.
Besides I need to know if with JDeveloper I can edit and update an XML document (data type XMLTYPE column) inside of a table.
I'll appreciate your help.
Paola.
@}--->----->>----------

You could have a start here http://www.w3schools.com/. also the old XMLDB manuals 9.2, 10.1 had primers on handling xml (appendix section), another source for you could be the w3c organization: http://www.w3.org/.
AFAIK, JDeveloper doesn't have that functionality yet. AFAIK the latest toad version is able to do this...

Help needed ESS and MSS

Hello All,
I am new to ESS/MSS development. Can anybody guide me how to start with the ESS and MSS activities.
What are the areas we need to concentrate when it comes to ESS/MSS.
how many sub-contents are there in ESS and MSS (like payroll, timesheet etc.,) ?
Any pdf's/doc's in this regards would be highly appreciated. Appreciate your time and valuable inputs.
Kind Regards,
Anil Kumar.

Are you asking strictly about ESS/MSS ...DEVELOPMENT....not CONFIGURATION? Two separate areas of focus.
In general, the information you will need will depend largely on the backend system you are supporting. ESS/MSS will have different capabilities/services available. If you just want general information, searching this site (using the search on the left panel over there) will provide you with lots of presentations and documents. Searching this forum itself will also yiled lots of general "what is ESS?MSS" or "how do I confgure ESS" kind of posts (since no one seems to ever search before posting up yet another "how do I configure" question). Finally...actually, the first place to look....check out help.sap.com (again, select your backend system and then locate the chapter(s) on ESS/MSS).

Installing XSS (ESS and MSS) on EP 7 and ECC 5.0 (and ECC 6.0)

Hello,
I need to install XSS (ESS and MSS) on EP 7.0 SP9 and ECC 5.0 and also on ECC 6.0.
I do NOT know what steps I need to perform (installations & configurations).
Could anyone please help me ?
Is the procedure different between ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 ?
Please, help.
Kind regards,
Gil

Hello Gil,
1) As I wrote in my second posting, I think I installed the EP 7.0 correctly for XSS and the BP ERP for ERP2005.
Where can I find what configurations I need to undertake and what patches I should install so the XSS and the BP will work correctly ? (that is besides getting error messages when using an XSS iView)
<b>You need to install the foloowing Web Dynpro Components in ur J2EE server.
PCI_GP
MSS</b>
2) If the projects decides NOT to upgrade to ERP 2005 BUT to stay with ERP 2004, do I need to install the EP 7.0 ALL over AGAIN ?
If so, how do I install both the BP ERP 2004 and XSS on it in ONE installation (as I performed in for the BP ERP 2005) ?
If NOT, how do I uninstall the BP ERP and XSS of the ERP 2005 and install those for ERP 2004 ? OR does the BP ERP 2005 support ERP 2004 as well ?
<b>The pre-requiste for BP ERP2005 is a backend ERP2005. So it will not function with backend ERP 2004.
You don't need to uninstall anything. Just download the Mysap ERP 2004 BP and do the necessary configuration to connect it to the BACKEND ERP 2004.This will solve the problem.
You can find the configuration guides and other information abt the BP here.
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000687949& --> Click on Documents -> Manager Self service.
Hope this solves ur problem.</b>

Hide certain services in ESS and MSS

Dear friends
We want to hide certain services in ESS and MSS we are on ECC 6.0 and EP 7.0
In ESS career and job, purchasing, work environment, life and work events, corporate information
In MSS we want to hide Budget, Projects, Planning
In Team also we want to hide services like employee working time (approve time sheet data), performance management, competency management, hcm process and forms, in recruitment (create new candidate assessment), organization
Please let me know where and how to hide these services in ESS and MSS
Thank you

Hello,
For hiding the links in both ESS and MSS, you need to make changes in Home Page Framework.
For this go to transaction SPRO and navigate to
Cross-Application Components - Home page Framework.
I suggest not to delete the standard one instead see and create new iView with new parameters.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

ESS and MSS on EP6.0 SP9

Hi,
I have problems with ESS and MSS iViews on EP6.0 SP9.
I have imported business packages for ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1.4 into EP6.0 SP9 on NW04 with ITS 6.20. The connection to the R/3 4.6C is created with SSO based on logontickets. I created relevant aliases, e.g., SAP_R3_HumanResources, SAP_R3_Cross. The connection works when I test it in the Support function on the Portal and few ESS iviews, e.g. Address.
After import of business packages both Portal-server and ITS have been restarted.
I have customised CATS in R/3 and created CVR parameter for the user.
Unfortunatelly most of the ESS and MSS iViews dont work. E.g. Recording Working Times iview comes with different errors depending on the iview type.
RWT based on ITS comes with the error message: Cannot start transaction. The ITS couldnt start transaction MA_CA_TSHEET because of the following error: MA_CA_TSHEET is unknown.
RWT Java-based iViews: "[Method getCatsData] java.lang.Exception: SAP_R3_Cross: No connection to SAP R/3 system; check user name and connection."
Both user name and connection works if using Support function.
RWT IAC based iView: I can get through to the SAP CATS, but the screen doesnt look like CATS registration profile and is useless.
Is there anybody that have seen similar errors and have solution ideas?
Thanks,
Beata

Hi Beata,
You liked the answer, but did you forget to give points?
See: Spread the Love! for directions.
Click on the Yellow Star icon in each reply.
You can give:
1 - 10 pointer (solves problem, marks as answered)
2 - 6 pointers (very helpful)
Lots of 2 pointers (helpful)
This time I did it for you.

How to start learning OAF

Hi,
I'm very new to OA Framework, and I have read through most of the threads in this forum and skimmed through the development guide, but I still have a few questions.
1) Where can I download Jdeveloper 10g with OA externsions? It seems Jdeveloper can be downloaded from Metalink, but I don't know how to sign up for it. Can I download Jdeveloper 10g with OA externsions without having Metalink access?
2) Is a database required to learn and develop OAF components? One of the steps for setting up Jdeveloper obtain a dbc file. I don't know were to obtain a dbc file nor do I have a database to work with.

HusseinHi Hussein,
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, I don't have a CSI number or a DBA to turn to. I'm a college student, and I'm not working for an IT company. Hence I lack a lot of resources. I made this thread to see if I am wasting my time learning OAF because I can't acquire the necessary resources (db and jdeveloper).

Re: ESS and MSS

Hi Friends ,
Please share the ESS and MSS Configuration Steps with screen .

Employee Self Service (ESS)
ESS Standard Function Detail and Services
Employee Search
Configuration:
IMG Path:-
Personnel Management->Employee Self-Service->Service-Specific Settings->Address Book->Who's Who
1. Who's Who (ESS):
Selection and Output: In this node maintain country 40 (India) and you can maintain selection criteria for the search, output fields of the search result and detailed output of the search result.
If you delete any field from selection field list, that field will not be available for search. If you delete any field from Output field list, the same field will not be visible in the hit list. If you delete any field from output details, it will not be visible in the detail view of the employee.
2. Who's Who (ESS): Determine Document Type:
To display photo on ESS, determine the photo document type that is uploaded using archive link.
3. Who's Who (ESS): Maintain Settings:
Maintain options to display org chart, allow employee to maintain own photo etc
4. Who's Who (ESS): Refine Employee Search
For ESS, maintain group u201CESSu201D and Sem. Abbr. is the field that you want to restrict in the search result. It works as a filter. For eg: STAT2 = 3 gives results of active employees only. For any other field that you want to restrict maintain the field as Sem. Abbr and give the value which you want to filter.
Working Time
IMG Path:
Employee Self-Service-> Service-Specific Settings-> Working Time-> Leave Request
In this node, configure Leave request scenario.
Processing Processes
a. Create Rule Groups
There are 2 rule groups.
00000001: This is for all employees
00000005: This is for employee grades above F and G. This rule is for direct / self approval of leave
To decide which rule is to applied to the employee, maintain a feature WEBMO.
PERSG (Employee Group) is the decision field. If the value is u201CFu201D or u201CGu201D use rule group 5 else use rule group 1.
b. Define Processing Processes for Each Rule Group
Maintain entries as shown in the figure, for both rule groups.
C. Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave
For each rule group, maintain all the leave types that you want to allow on ESS.
For eg: For rule 1, maintain Personal Sub grouping for time ( in this case 40 ), maintain all the leave / Attendance type ( like 0100, 0150, 0001 etc).
For employees, maintain all the leaves for rule group 1 and for self approval (for F and G) maintain all the leaves for rule group 5. When you maintain a leave, specify it needs an approval or not and if requires an approval maintain the workflow template to be used.
For direct approvals: Remove the workflow assigned.
Remove display field for next agent. This will not display approver in the ESS leave request.
d. Define Report Variants and Background Processing
To post approved requests, you have to create a background job which will execute program RPTARQPOST. This background job is responsible to post approved leaves in IT 2001. Create variants for program RPTARQPOST in PRD 436 client directly and create a background job in PRD.
2. Layout of the Web Application
a. Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values
b. Specify Display of Absence Quotas
In this step you specify ES Grouping, PS grouping and Quota type for leave quota. Find out the combination from IT 2006
3. Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)
BAdI: Control Processing of Leave Requests
Implementation name: ZHRESS_CL_PT_ARQ_REQ
Methods: IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP
IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~POST_VIA_BLOP
a. IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP
Validations implemented in this method.
Half day leave check: time has to be either 10:30 to 14:15 or 14:15 to 18:00.
Maternity/Miscarriage Leave: Male employees are not allowed to apply for this type of leave.
Clubbing rules: ZHRPT_COMBINATN This table contains all the invalid clubbing rules.
To read current absence applied from ESS
**Read the current absence record
READ TABLE IM_ATTABS_TAB INTO ATTABS_TEMP INDEX 1.
READ TABLE ATTABS_TEMP-ABS_ATTRIBS INTO WA_ATTRIBS INDEX
Now WA_ATTRIBS will have all the details of the applied leave.
ZHRPT_COMBINATN: this table contains all the leave combinations which are not allowed in the system.
PTREQ_ATTABSDATA: This table contains all the leaves applied and not
To get all the approved leave, read IT 2001 for the employee.
SELECT * FROM PTREQ_ATTABSDATA INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE
I_ATTABSDATA
WHERE PERNR EQ WA_ATTRIBS-PERNR
AND INFOTYPE = '2001'
AND OPERATION = 'INS'
AND BEGDA GE V_DATE1
AND ENDDA LE V_DATE2.
Now check for the invalid combination. I_attabsdata contains all the sent
requests by the employee.
LOOP AT I_ATTABSDATA INTO WA_ATTABS.
**Check for invalid combination
SELECT SINGLE * FROM ZHRPT_COMBINATN INTO WA_COMBI
WHERE AWART1 EQ WA_ATTABS-SUBTY
AND AWART2 EQ WA_ATTRIBS-SUBTY.
**Now give message if you find a record. Please use this method only.
