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>

Hello Friend's,
        This is suresh calling for clarifications and doubts in HCM...   see i'm new to portal, but my requirement is to configure ESS and MSS for HCM... i dont know actually wat needs to be done and the way of approach... these are the doubts,
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. ...

ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1.20 for R/3 4.7 using EP7.0 and external ITS 6.20

SAP@WEB studio
Hi All,
we are implementing ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1.20 for R/3 4.7 using EP7.0 and external ITS 6.20.
1).
first of all is this landscape possible ?
2).
If it is possible then do i need SAP@WEB studio along with the external ITS ?
3).
once i install external ITS what are the stpes to be followed next ? i mean how can i connect to r/3 from the portal using the ITS ?
thanks and regards,
PK

PK,
Please see the ITS Administration guide and the ITS Installation guide.
You will see that when you install the External ITS you will be asked for R/3 connection information, such as logon group, hostname, system name, system number, message server, depending on what connection method you choose.
As for connecting the External ITS to Portal, as I stated, you will create iViews in the Portal and you will be asked for a URL. The URL is the External ITS URL, which should be something like http://hostname:port/scripts/wgate/service/!
Please read the guides and FAQ. Thank you.
Edgar

Versions of ESS and MSS business packages

I have just installed EP6.0 SP2 on J2EE 6.2. I have R/3 systems 4.6C and 4.7. Which versions of the iviewstudio business packages for ESS and MSS should I install?

Gary,
If you have access to sdn, you can check the Portal Content Portfolio (from SDN home), --> Search Content Portfolio (on right pane/nav) and you will get the People Centric Search screen.
Within the search criteria's you can choose by selecting Business Package, or globally search by EP 6.0.

Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

Hi Experts,
This is the first time I am going to deal with
ESS and MSS.
I have some basic questions about it and they are
listed below:
1. In an organization if they want to integrate
ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
is, will they install the packages in the R/3
system and then use the to portal features to
make iViews of ESS and MSS.
2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
and the R/3 system
3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
MSS applications, if yes how?
4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
Please do let me know on these subjects and also
if anyone of you have any links or documents
associated with this scenario please do send me.
Thank you
Regards
Luke

Hi,
here is what I know..
1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.
ent
4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
You can find all the different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.

Diff between ESS Team Calendar and MSS Team Calendar

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know is there any difference between ESS team calender that employees see in the Leave tab and the Mss team calender that the managers see for their team.
In our system, it so happens that a user who is a chief sees the org structure in which he is as an employee only ( not manager) in the ESS team calender. However users who have both the ESS and MSS roles see the org structure which is reporting to them in the ESS and as well as the MSS team Calender.
i already searched SDn and SAPnotes for this and was unable to find anything useful.
Can anyone please let me know from where does the team Calendar fetch the details from the back-end both in the case of ESS and MSS.
regards,
pinki

ESS Team calendar is meant for the employees to see the other colleagues in their Org unit
MSS Team calendar is used by the manager to see the
employees reporting to him directly or indirectly (configuration available)
All this comes from leave request application, Ie sent leave
approved status etc, and of course the infotypes 2001
and 2002.
Check for team calendar in help.sap.com you ll find very good documentation on this.

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

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!
