Can any one please suggest what version of ESS, MSS, and PCUI_GP Software

Performance in ESS and MSS

Dear Expert,
Is there any specific performance recommendations for ESS/MSS content being accessed over WAN.
Best Regards,
Deepak..

There are no specific performance recommendations for ESS and MSS itself.
Since the source code is already delivered by SAP, we can assume that the coding has been done keeping performance in mind.
The only suggestion I can make here is try to make your portal landing page a simple html file which would not require a backend call. This will improve the time taken for the initial portal landing page to load.
The standard homepage framework based ESS and MSS landing pages need to make a backend call for loading the landing page also.
You can look at the general recommendations to improve portal performance and your network performance.
I believe you can find tons of information on improving portal performance tuning here on SDN.
Thanks,
Shanti

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.

Hope this solves ur problem.</b>

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.
CALL METHOD MESSAGE_HANDLER->ADD_MESSAGE
EXPORTING
IM_TYPE = 'E'
IM_CL = 'HRTIM_ABS_REQ'
IM_NUMBER = '115'
IM_PAR1 = 'SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP'
IM_PAR2 = u201EIF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP'

IM_SUBCONTEXT = ''
IM_CLASSNAME = 'CL_PT_ARQ_BLOP_ADAPTER'

Business Backages ESS and MSS

Hi,
I am trying to download ESS and MSS from sdn. But i am not getting the download link. Actually i gave the valid SAP Service Marketplace id information. Can anyone help me to get that download link? Same thing happened to me CRM business packages download. Prakash Singh gave me the link and I downloaded that CRM 4 business packages.
Now i need ESS and MSS for mySAP ERP.

Hi Venu,
mySAP ERP 2004 , you need license to dowload the business package. You can ask your company to request a license and also ask SAP to ship you the business package on CD

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).

1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
3.   a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether    i need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
     b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
I dont know basic steps .... plz help me ... Thanks i advance...........!

Ok. Here are the answers:
1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
   > Download ESS/MSS Business Package, it has two parts Business Package for ERP 2005 (Contains iviews, Roles etc) and XSS 5.0 or 6.0 depending upon the version of the ECC.
> Make sure that you have SAP_HR and EA_HR component installed on your ECC box.
> Also make sure that there is no compatibility mismatch between version of SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS.
> Configure the JCo Destinations, create required system definition and establish SSO between ECC and Portal.
> Assign the role to the users
> After doing these steps you can see the SAP provided iviews etc working PROVIDED configuration on HR side are already done. (This is just to get initial configuration work)
2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
> Provided by Bala above
3. a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether i need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
> Look for that application in WebDynpro (identify the component from iView properties) and show it to the client.
If they are Ok with the basic things then fine else they need to specify the kind of customisation they want in this component
Options available if we need to modify the components
>>Copy the component in your namespace and do the modification using NWDINWDS
>>If some field need to be disabled, you can do the same using Self service administration.
b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
Hope this helps. ...

BP ESS and MSS

Hello,
I have SAP ERP 6.0 and portal 7.0 with ESS and MSS versión 1.0. We need to update to the versión 1.41 but in this link says that is required the EHP4 in the ERP. Is that true do we have to upgrade the ERP first?
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/76/77594d165144a1a9bff9aae1e26b26/frameset.htm
Please help me with this.
Regards

Just to note ---> In WD ABAP there is still dependanices between software components for example BP HRA 1.11 is WD ABAP - there is still key dependancies between BP HRA, SAP_HR, EA_HR and SAP_BASIS
Also moving to 1.4 is considered a move to EHP4 - which means moving ECC to EHP4 as well - however this applies evern for current WD ABAP products - for example if you want BP HRA 1.41 (WD ABAP) you will also need EHP4 in the back-end (as per note 1375308) so the architecture is very similiar
Whether EHP5 changes all this is not yet clear
Best wishes
Stuart

Hi Friends: Do we have ESS and MSS in ABAP web dynpros

Hi Forum,
Do we have SAP std. web dynpros on ESS and MSS , do you list out this ABAP web dyn on this..
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas M.

Hi , Vivek has right, SAP is slowly migrating WDJ/BSP applications to WDA technology.
In fact, referring to Employee Self-Service, since 1.5, all aplications come in WebDynpro ABAP technology (Note [1450179|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1450179])
Referring to Manager Self-Service, the change was more gradually; for example, for Compensations (ECM) since 1.0 some reports already come in WDA, but in MSS 1.4 the Planification app arrives in WDA.
Most applications for HR Administrator was converted to WDA since 1.2 version (EHP2).
For a app-to-app check you can go directly to help.sap.com, then enter by business package until app, and look for Technical Data table, Runtime Technology field.
Best regards!
