INBOX for ESS?

Hello All,
is there any possibility to show IBO_WDA_INBOX work items in ESS. i have a requirement to show Work Items in my ess menu. I added this WebDyn app and its configuration in my ess menu but when i click on items for approval it returns following error:
is it any way to show WORK ITEMS for ess?
regards,
ALI.

Hi Siddharth
You are, i was trying to avoid creating a new menu tab (like Manger Self-service) and combine ESS and MSS menu, but after a lot of challenge i found POWL INBOX is not gonna work in ess other than i add MSS role to my user which consequently added MSS menu.
At the end i created a new Z copy of MSS and just like what you said customize it for my requirement. It seems like without MSS menu we can not run such application with OBN authorization of MSS. This is not what i claim for testing purpose i added MSS role to my user and just hide it from NWBC but again in ESS menu i was able to access inbox but when i click on HCM links i received same error message.
Case closed by creating a cutome role in PFCG with MSS access.
Thank you all for helpful information.
Regards,
Ali.

Files to be imported from CMS inbox for ESS

Hi ALL,
I am planning to create a track for SAP ESS software component version. I have doubt here. DO I need to have all these components in CMS inbox and import on the track with source files along with SAP ess software component.
     DI BUILD TOOL 7.00
     EP BUILD TOOL 7.00
     SAP J2EE ENGINE 7.00
     SAP JAVA TECH SERVICES 7.00
Thanks in advance..
James

You mean, I will need the source to be imported right? Not just defining the dependency?
Ans:-Correct
Also, I am trying to modify ESS software component. DOnt you think I would need that?
Ans:- I assume you are already importing that. I just answered in context with the question you have asked.
For your second question, refer to SAP Note 761266.

Unable to check in .sda file for ess in the track for NWDI

Hi Gurus;
We have created the track and added the three dependencies along with PCUI_GP.We have imported these into the track.
However after placing the .sda file for ess under Jtrans/CMS/Inbox folder and adding it as software component to the track through Landscape Configurator we are unable to get the ess component under the checkin tab of the track in CMS. Please suggest why this is happening?
Regards;
Anzar Naik

Dear Anzar,
What is the error message you are getting. check the CMS logs for the more information.
Please check n verify location of the inbox folder when you click on checkin tab.
refer to SAP Notes 872892.

Backend R/3 connectivity for ESS MSS from portal

Hi,
We are currently in development cycle for ESS/MSS based on portal EP 6.0 SP16 and ERP 2004 in backend. We are trying to find out how the ESS/MSS business package on portal works with backend ESS functionality in ERP 2004. It is more of a connectivity question. We want to know if we expose our portal to internet so that users can login to ESS/MSS from internet, do we need to put backend ERP (ECC 5.0) system also in DMZ? Do we need to open ports between portal and R/3 so that ESS/MSS can work? Or the communication happens using JCO connections and we need not to expose R/3 system.
Also one more specific question? If someone knows how ESS/MSS talks to backend system. At SAP application layer level or database level? I am asking this question to check if I need to open a port to talk to database or I can very well keep 2-3 SAP application server in DMZ and work.
PK

You need to look at the specific business package. For example, ESS for mySAP ERP 2004 says that the technology is Java / Web dynpro, which says that the Java engine uses RFCc to get the data from the backend.
Othe businesss packages may use ITS, which then needs another connection from the user to the ITS server.

Import of MSS in DTR is successful but CMS is failing.

How to restore Mail inbox for one mail account?

I am away from home, and the inbox of one of my mail accounts on my MBP (10.7.3) has lost all its information. When I get home I want to restore (most of) the lost data from my Time Machine backup.
However, I do not want to restore all the accounts and all the mailboxes, just the one that was lost.
How to I find the Inbox for that account, in order to use the older file in Time Machine to restore it with?
DN

You just go to the mailbox in Mail that the messages are missing from and then, from there, choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu bar icon. You'll see the Time Machine interface, showing the current version of that mailbox, and you can go back in time to when the messages were still there. Then select the messages you want to restore (all of them, I'd guess) and restore them. They'll show up in a new mailbox (Recovered Messages or something? I forget exactly what it's called), and you can move them back to where you want from there.

Error while configuring talent profile for ESS

Dear Experts
I am having following error while configuring talent profile for ESS:
The URL http://pplkhidr05.ppl.com.pk:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrtmc_employee_profile was not called due to an error.
Note
The following error text was processed in the system TRG : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
The error occurred on the application server PPLKHIDR05_TRG_00 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system TRG in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server PPLKHIDR05_TRG_00 in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server PPLKHIDR05_TRG_00 . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.
Any suggestions on how to resolve the error?

Message Mapping in HRAS - can it be used for ESS ?

We came across this functionality for EHP2 (after activating business function HCM_ASR_CI_1)
called "message mapping" while implementing HCM processes and forms framework. It is available under HR Administrative services -->Tools in the IMG provided the business function is activated.
As per IMG documentation for this Message Mapping node --> "The tool for mapping messages can also be used in Employee Self-Services and applications of the Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture"
Just wanted to check if anyone tried exploring this by mapping messages for ESS services outside of HCM Processes and forms framework? or Is this tool limited only for HCM P&F.

I've seen the same thing. I suspect it "will" be possible but not fully implemented just yet. You could probably do a search on the mapping table and see if it is actully used in the newer ESS code at all. It looks like they have this in place as ESS transitions over more fully to Webdynpro ABAP and making use of the decoupled infotype framework.

Setting Up the System Landscape for ESS

Hello Experts,
I am implementing ESS in portal.
I am in step of defining systems in portal for ESS/MSS.
Below is link I am following from help.sap.com
[Link|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/5b/76a6d7fd3a4e91bfb422405bf3e04d/frameset.htm]
In above link it is mentioned that we have to define following systems :
SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
SAP_ECC_HumanResources
SAP_ECC_Travel
SAP_ITS_XSS
SAP_BSP_EREC
Additionaly according to below Article in SDN :
[Link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b2224432640a?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
Following additional systems must be created :
SAP_ITS_EBU Looks similar to SAP_ITS_XSS above
SAP_R3_Financials
Now the basis person in my project has handed over to me following systems :
SAP_BSP_EREC
SAP_ITS_FND Name mismatch as FND is used in place of XSS or EBU
SAP_R3_Financials
SAP_WebDynpro_ESS Name mismatch as ESS is used in place of XSS
Now below two systems are altogether missing as per first link on help.sap.com
SAP_ECC_HumanResources
SAP_ECC_Travel
Please explain if it requires to be corrected or name mismatch and missing ststems would do.
Thanking you in anticipation.

All the above names that you are referring to are not necessarily separate systems.
These are system aliases for a system object created in your portal via System Administration - System landscape.
So, if you have HR and Finance on the same backend server, then you need only one system with the related system aliases.
You will need SAP_BSP_EREC only if you are planning on using E-recruitment.
Similarly, you will need SAP_ITS_XSS only if you are planning on using any ITS applications.
It is pretty straight forward to change/correct the names of your system aliases instead of changing the usage of these aliases every where else.
SAP_ECC_HumanResources is absolutely necessary.
SAP_ECC_Travel is required if you are planning on using travel and expense related applications.
Also, note that SAP_WebDynpro_XSS should be the alias of the system where your webdynpro applications are deployed (typically the same portal server)

Back Ground Jobs for ESS/MSS

Hi,
I would like to know all the back ground jobs to be scheduled for ESS/MSS.
As all the data updated in the portal as to reflect in r/3 system and all the data updated in r/3 system to portal.
Regards
Vish

You need to set the background jobs depending on the functionality which is being implemented and what the data ?
for eg: if it's leave request there background jos which needs to scheduled
RPTARQEMAIL (Leave Requests: Send E-Mails)
RPTARQPOST (Leave Requests: Post)
RPTARQSTOPWF (Leave Requests: Complete Current Workflows)
hope this would help you..

Custom Reports for ESS/MSS ? with PNP??

I am trying to create a custom report for ESS, and am unsure if I can use the PNP logical database in this code. I am concerned that if the associate does not have access to see those infoytpes in production, then they would not be able to see their own data from those infotypes in ESS.
Can anyone offer their opinion? Thank you!!!!

Hi Subash,
This would be the case.As the J2EE version with ECC6.0 is 7.0 and we need to apply the BP to both ECC and EP.
Try to think , how do you balance EP6.0 with 6.40 J2EE engine <-> ECC6.0 with 7.0 J2ee engine? will get the answer!

Surya
