Modifying ESS Service

I have couple questions.
PZ31_EWT is the replacement for the old ESS Service PZ31. In the dropdown after I select internet service, I do not see PZ31_EWT. However I see PZ31_EWT under transaction code for the development class PPPE_WWW.
I want to change the way the frames are layed out on the portal for PZ31_EWT.
So how do I modify the service ? In the HTML template do I write my own code to change the layout ?
How does this code get picked up along with the generated source code ?

Hi Rachel,
I am trying to implment PZ31_EWT for the Portal.
How did you get is to display in the Portal? Did you create an ITS service of the transaction?
I have created ZPZ31_EWT as an ITS service and set it up in SICF but I can't see the Qualifications tree on the left.
Is it poss you can let me know details of parameters you used in SICF.
TIA

Customizing ESS Services

I am wondering whether ess/mss services can be customized. If yes could you please tell me how can it be done.
Thank you in advance.

ESS services can be customised
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f6/263359f8c14ef98384ae7a2becd156/frameset.htm
If u r talking about modifying the services delivered by sap.. then its also possible. but the efforts required is pretty high if u want to update some R/3 tables.
reading data and changing some screen layout is simpler.
But all this needs a setup in place.
1. webdynpro based services.
U need Netweaver developer studio and JDI in place.
u have to create tracks on CMS and import all the ESS and PCUIGP files delivered by sap. then using NWDS u can change the services..change the code / layout
2. ITS based services.
they have HTML templates and a program.
ifu want to hide a field then it can be done easily.. u have to change the HTML template
but if a service is not template based (pz02)
then u have to change the program
u can get this program from se93.. put pz02 and dbl click the program
u can copy this and change it.

Current Date in Service Description of ESS Services

Hi All,
We want to display current date in the Text of Service Description.
In SPRO, -> personnel Management -> ESS -> General Settings -> Home page for ESS -> Services -> Define Services, I tried using &DATE& but it shows the date, 28.02.2011 and not the current date i.e 14.03.2011.
The server date is correct, i.e. 14.03.2011
Can you please help, how can I display current date in the service description.
Cheers!!!

Hi Umang,
You can use Proxy class to append the time dynamically to the service description.
Refer to the blog

ESS services date and time format?

Hi,
How can we change the date and time format displayed on some of the ESS services like addresses, LR screen? Currently I see US format date MM/DD/YYYY and time is in european format 12,50 instead of dot(.).
I tried changing the browser setting to UK but it didn't work. Any other suggestion please?
Thanks
Praveen

I tried to create a simple WD application with just date control UI element, I can see the date format is displayed based on my browser setting. If I change it to US in my browser locale, it date format changes to US date format, if I change it to UK locale the date format is UK based.
Only my ESS/MSS applications are always displayed as US format. I checked at the iView level and I can only see ForcedRequestLanguage but I cannot see ForcedRequestCountry property so I'm unable to set any country specific details here. When I look at the JCo connection language tab, I see the
Current locale: en
Default VM locale: en_US
I think this is where change is required. However I changed following JCo languages from en to en_UK but still no luck
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
Backend is checked as posted above.
I checked below which is the second precendence in determining locale
Portal mandatory locale -- open file prtDefault.properties on server under
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC#/j2ee/cluster/server#/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/system/properties/
I cannot find below mandatory parameters in the prtDefault.properties file
request.mandatorylanguage
request.mandatorycountry
However, I found this
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
Is this something I can change? Or should I replace or should I add mandatoryLanguage/country?
Can this file be edited through NWA or should this file be edited manually at the file system level?
Please advice.
Thanks
Praveen

Changing ESS services

Hi Guys
We have an ESS application running against a stand-alone ITS server and an R/3 4.7 system.
My problem is that I want to make some changes to some of the services and I can't figure out how to do it.
Eg. in the ESS app "Personal Data" (PZ13) I want to make some of the fields read-only, I want to remove other fields completely and add some new fields to the view.
How is this possible?
Regards,
Jacob Vennervald

Hi Guys
I've gotten an answer from SAP, and they say the following:
"I have managed to shed some light on the problems you are experiencing with table T588M_ESS.
The main problem is that the table is not read by the relevant ESS service. Actually, the table is only read by very very few services altogether. Therefore it is not possible to make any modifications to field attributes that way.
It is unfortunate that ESS does not provide all of the functions you use and require in R/3 <=4.7; with regard to T588M_ESS in particular. This is because the initial design logic behind ESS was to make it as simple, ergonomically efficient and user friendly as possible. It therefore shouldn't be all that surprising that you cannot configure ESS the way you can configure R/3. You cannot customize the ESS screen via T588M_ESS.
Things will become easier with ESS as featured in ERP 2005, where modification free changes can be done using the Web Dynpro personalization tool."
So the best way to make changes to ESS applikations in the code as Jothi says.
For the Address (PZ13) iView it is possible to change attributes on the input fields by using table T588M (NOT T588M_ESS).
In transaction SE93 you can copy the PZ13 transaction.

Jacob Vennervald

I Think I have to add a parameter sap.xss.BaseConfigurationID (PCD FPM View) to application properties. Is it mandatory to add FPM View which is created in PCD to Application Properties. Is there any other way to avoid this procedure?
Thanks,

Fetch ESS services for HR Administrator

Hi,
Our client has a requirement to fetch the ESS services for the HR administrator so that in case the employee is unable to update details through ESS, the HR administrator can do it on the employee's behalf.
The HR administrator should have the option to search for a particular employee/pernr, after which all the links for the ESS services associated with the selected pernr should be displayed. The HR admin should then be allowed to select any of the services and update the required employee info.
Please let me know what are the customizations that need to be done to capture this requirement.
TIA.

You can use something callend General information or the Forms and processes
The only customisation is on how to select the empoyees for the Admin on what criteria in your case
All the services are available like leave request or working time or personal data \

ESS 'service' missed in ABAP DWB (SE80)

Hi,
We have SAP R/3 4.7 and ITS 6.20 standalone server. In ABAP Development Workbench(SE80) 'SYSTEM' service is missed and i have to change some HTML template. How to get this service and modify.
include(~service="system", ~language="", ~theme="dm", ~name="TemplateLibraryDHTML.html");
And one morething, anyone tell how to modify pz01 service,
Whos Who PZ01: To include information from infotype 0041 and custom infotype 9040.
please anyone advice.
Thanks,
Suriya.

WOW! A whole lot of questions going on! haha
(1) SYSTEM service not accessble in SE80?
answer: There are several "utiliy" and "ITS specific" services that are installed during the ITS installation that are not available within R/3....such as "SYSTEM", "GLOBAL", htmlb controls libraries, etc. Great care should be taken if you are modifying these (ie. backup original, etc). These can be found and modified/copied/customized at the file system level (ie. look out in your Agate path).
(2) infotype 0041 and custom infotype 9040 needed in PZ01?
answer: This can be done via configuration without custom development at all. Just create your own infoset (if unsure on this, please check documentation). Then with your own infoset, those needed infotype fields will be avilable.
(3) Customizing ITS services? Rename tempates? answer: yes, create your own "Z" version as per typical customization. Then publish out your customized service and call it instead of the standard service. Also, do NOT change the copied template names if you have NOT changed the backend transaction. Template names refer to the ABAP transaction program and screen names behind the scenes...that's how ITS communicates with the transaction. So, the naming convention is <program name>_<screen number>. If you DO create a custom backend program, then YES, do make sure your new template names correspond correctly. For example, if you have a custom version of ITS service PZ01 called "ZPZ01" yet it's service file parameter "transaction" still calls "PZ01", then keep your template names the same. Otherwise, suppose your "transaction" parameter now calls a customized "ZPZ01" transaction, then your templates may now be "SAPMZPZ01_<screen number>" instead of "SAPMPZ01_<screen number>" (*the Z is added in the first one). Make sense?
(4) Restart ITS with each publish? answer: Absolute nonsense!!! You do NOT need to restart ITS. You only restart ITS typically when you change GLOBAL params or such (and with errors like run away/hung sessions). Publishing to ITS is STANDARD operation...no need to restart it.
(5) Missing ITS templates? answer: check your ITS settings in R/3 to make sure it is publishing to the right location. Also check IACOR administration to makes sure the locations are correct as well.
I think that covers it...like I said...several questions...hope I got to them all! =) Till next time....

ESS Service PZ02

Hi,
How can we update the mailing address when the user updates the permanent address in ESS. what coding changes should I make to accomplish this??
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
What version are you on? Not all ESS services hit the
PA 30 Infotype User exit ZXPADU02. Depending on the country grouping, some of the ESS services have separate Module Pool Programs & the infotypes are updated via BAPI calls. For PZ02, the program is SPLEHU1 for US. If you are on 47 or a lower version, you can copy PZ02 into a custom service together with the Module Pool program. In the Z version of the include.. use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to update the mailing address immediately after the function call to 'BAPI_ADDRESSEMPUS_CHANGE'.

ESS Service - Skill Profile Update - Qualification Validity - Enable BEGDA

Dear Expert,
Is there way to give the qualification valid from to date through ESS when employee add his skill?
We have qualification catalogue u2018Work Permitu2019, Qualification as u2018Countriesu2019 and defined the scale u2018Permitted and Not Permittedu2019.
Employee need to add this skill with valid date for his work permit.
Is this option available in Standard ESS?
u2026Naddy

There are qualification like License/Visa need begin and end date in which Employee shoule be able to give/input validity date. I would expect that ESS service for Skill update should have it. I am not the one who is facing this requirement first time. I would like to know if there is any way to enhance ESS service for Skill update to enable begin and end date.
The function module 'RHPP_Q_PROFILE_WRITE' has table structure HRPE_RELAQ. It has 2 sets of valid dates. any info on this? Is ESS service for Skill update calls this FM?

User exit to modify a service order (IW32)

Hi
I require a user exit to modify a service order (IW32) that is generated via the repair procedure functionality linked to a Sales order.
I need to change at the operation level:
1-      Add an operation with the service material from the sales order. Get the purchasing group data from the material master.
2-      Change the first operation - replace the default purchasing group
THanks

Sid,
[PM/CS User-Exits etc|http://pjatkin.users.btopenworld.com/documents/PMCSUserExits.pdf]
Might be possible by using IWO10009 (at save user-exit) with function modules:
CO_BP_AFVG_BT_FETCH
CO_BT_AFVG_UPDATE

Importing problems of ESS services from JDI

Hi,
I am importing the standard SAP ESS service (eg:ess/skl)from JDI,but its importing with lots of errors. I found errors are maily due to missing Jar files and missing dependent DC components. I came to know that while importing all required jar should get imported along DC component. Anyone can tell me how can i import without errors due to missing JAR?
Thanks,
Suresh.

Did you import the 3 base SC's into the track as described here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ab/6760b8d7b64b6eb74052eb5bdf1405/frameset.htm ?

ESS/MSS custom services or modify standard service with WebDynpro Abap

Hi all,
what's the procedure to modify standard ESS/MSS or create new service with WebDynpro Abap.
Thanks.

Hi
First, The ISR Scenarios are not for iviews. They are just a part of a view. We can use webdynpro ABAP with the ISR Scenarios. We need to embed these forms into our webdynpro ABAP views and code accorsdigly to get the data. There are some standard components that are provided by SAP to handle ISR Forms with Webdynpro. Check these.

Modifying ESS code for Quota Overview service

Hello,
I want to modify the Quota Overview screen as:
Change the name of the Column header from Entitlement Type to Allotment.
When I create a project for the DC I see 3 Webdynpro components ,then I goto VCQuota ->Views->VcQuotaView ->Layout and change the header title there in the properties ,but when I test it in the local server ,it's not reflected.
What's the right way to do it.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi ,
Usually we define Dev and QA as runtime systems.
Check out files from DTR , edit , check-in and activate and finally release.
In DEV system we directly deploy , while in QA.. the released content will be import thru NWDI landscape configurations..
You can directly deploy your contents in your DEV system and use NWDI infrastructure for further transport across systems.
I have not seen this component code.. We can customize the fields to be visible from SPRO in the backend. It might be that these are made invisible.
Or the scenario you are currently working on ,might not necessarily need this..

Bharathwaj
