MSS and Substituion

Hi
Is substitution possible in MSS? we are in EP6. If so can someone tell what would be estimate time to set up substituion in MSS? Our client don't want direct access to Business Workplace.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nash

Hi,
It is possible in MSS-HCM but you need to do some work - following steps is needed:
1) Create a substitution role in the portal(this depends on your business demands - if the substitute can handle that the substitutions subordinates are mixed with the substitutes own subordinates, in case of such, you do not need a new role). Anyway the new role gives you an opportunity to specify the (limited) views for the substitute.
2) Change the OADP for the teamviewer in the new role (remark: if you need the substitution for the direct reporting persons - you need to change the program RHDIREPO)
3) Change the structural authorisation.

NetWeaver Portal and ERP 6.0: BI, ESS/MSS and full Portal on one machine

Hello,
with ERP 6.0 you need a EP Core Portal for BI Java. An other EP Core Portal for HCM ECC/MSS. The iViews from this portal you integrate in the main portal via federated portal. But in this scenario i need to much portals and have a lot of maintenance costs (administration overhead for evry portal). For a small Customer i will build one Portal for all. It is possible e.g. to use the BI Portal with ESS/MSS and as full portal?
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi,
So you would like one BI installation with both the ABAP and the Java-stack with the full BI-functionallity and additionally the XSS-component and set it up to work against the ECC ABAP-only system ?
I think the scenario would actually work, but:
1) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your BI-system and not the ECC-system.
Is it possible to run the old XSS-components in the new java-stack ?
2) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your ECC-system and not the BI-system.
What if the new version of the XSS-component demands certain java-components which the BI-system do not have.
So my recommendation is still to run the java-stack on both systems.
ECC with the XSS-java-components and BI with the Bi-java-components.
This way you do not lock yourself into a corner and each system can be upgrade independent of the other.

Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

Hi,
I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
Thanks

P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

@John
(1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
(2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
Hope this helped!

MSS and BW Reporting

Hello - does any one have any experience with MSS and BW reporting?
We have a requirement to implement BW reports to Line Managers through MSS.
For R/3 Reports we have no issue as we can use the standard structural authorisation function module to restrict access to empoyees directly reporting to the manager.
How can we restrict BW reports in the same way? i.e. When Manager runs the report they should only see data about the employees that report to them in the Org structure.
We are using BW 7.0.

Hi Mike,
Did You implement this scenario. Even we are trying to do the same.
I am kind of no clue about which authorizations a manager needs in BW system.
We are using EP6.0 SP16 and backend system is ECC5.0.
I have couple of questions.
1. What authorizations in BW system the portal user (Me with content admin, system admin, user admin roles) needs to view the BW reports or BW iviews?
2. Manager (MSS) can not view crystal reports in the work set 'Reporting' assigned to a manager in ECC5.0. Other iviews within the BP60.1 are working fine.
3. When manager tried to see a crystal report , it threw an error saying that
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Unable to lookup System 'SAP_BW_HumanResources'. Please check the system object and the alias..
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.CrystalReport::CrystalReport/SSOLayer
Could you please help in finding proper documentation on setting up manager to see the reports in BW system.
Thanks!

MSS and Personnel Action

Hi Experts,
What is the relationship between MSS and Personnel Action (PA40)? Can a manager that have access to mss perform personnel action (eg Organizational Transfer) for his/her subordinate employees? Thanks

Yes as indicated above use processes and forms which are standard delivered and mimic the pa40
you can create your own forms just like actiions

Any body please give me the T codes mostly using in ESS MSS and recruitment

Hi,
We use mainly PA20/30/40 in MSS.

What is the diff between ITS ESS/MSS and Webdynpro ESS/MSS

Hi all,
Could anybody tell me the differences between ITS ESS/MSS and Webdynpro ESS/MSS?
Presently we have ITS based ESS/MSS in our landscape and customer wants to go for Webdynpro ESS/MSS. and Webdynpro ESS/MSS is already installed in the sandbox system where ITS based ESS/MSS is already there.
my doubt is can we install both ESS/MSS in the same server? if it is installed we may get any problems?

Karunakar,
check the compatibility of frontend and backend levels

Issue while accessing two web-dynpro application, ESS/MSS and Payroll

Hi All,
We are facing one Critical Server Issue in our systems. Following is the scenerio:-
Our Portal system was having one Application known as German Payroll application. Before last two week one more application of ESS/MSS i.e. Time Management has been deployed to our system.
Now the user has two application with two different roles in the portal.

But once the user try to refresh using CTRL+F5 then the problem got resolved.

After more analyzing the situation we found that one web dynrpo component i.e. pcui_gp~xssutils is common to both the application and it is configured to standard JCO i.e.
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics
SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
My thinking is that this component is giving us the problem.
Please provide your comments and solution to rectify this issue.
Also, let me know in case you need more information.

Hi
First try a very simple application with nothing in it just one text saying Hello World
Run it and see what happens.
Also check if your url uses FQDN name. something like https:
company.name.co:50000\.......
If you do not use the FQDN it will always show a script error on the bottom and some functions will not work e.g
dropdowns.

MSS and Employee Search on General Overview

Hi,
we are using MSS 1.0 and EP7.0/ECC 6.0 .
We are using the MSS page "General Information". So far, it works fine, you can select the people with "Employee Search" and the iviews display the data accordingly on the page.
Now, we have added the iview "Appraisals"from another page. But it does not react to the selected employee on the page.
Is there a special parameter, when I move one MSS iview from one page to another, where I tell them to use the selected employee on the new page?
Any answer will be rewarded,
thanks
hs

Hi Holger,
We are testing MSS for ERP 1.0. You said your Employee Search iView is able to select employees and display accordingly. I'm hoping that maybe you would know why my Employee Search iView does not allow me to select the employees. It always shows the first employee in the General Information iView. There is no checkboxes, hyperlinks, dble-clicks or anything to select another employee.
Thanks - Kenneth

EP,ESS/MSS and webdynpro for java interview questions.

I am an ep and ESS?MSS consultant and work on webdynpro for java.I have also worked on PDK like customization of masthead and logon page.I would like to know how to prepare for an interview? I mean what should I read ? and what topics should I cover?

HI Anzar
Instead of posting this here, you could have googled it. There are no. of sites for the same thing.
Since you wrote, so just curious... EP & ESS/MSS Consultant... what does that mean?
If I am not taking it wrong, by that sentence you are trying to tell that you have worked on ESS / MSS modeule. Right?
See, if you are an EP Consultant, you must know all the below atleast -
1. PORTAL SIDE
a. Different types of iView configuration
b. User Management
c. Internal / External Portal Configuration
d. Content development
e. UWL
f. Portal bottlenecks (I mean portal related issues, like slow responding etc.)
g. Display & Desktop Configuration
h. System Landscape Directory
i. NWDI
2. WEB DYNPRO SIDE
a. Calling iviews from wd applications
b. RFC/ BAPI calls
c. JCO Connections
d. SC/DC Concept
e. Import/Export Parameters
f. Scenario Based Answering (like... if your imported BAPI import parameters are changed by BASIS, what will you do to make it work for you.... etc)
g. Singleton/Non-Singleton nodes
h. Controllers
i. Interfaces
j. Multi-lingual Applications
k. EJBs
l. PDK applications
This is the basic list, it can contain many more items... This is the list which I faced for my interview. As an EP consultant, you must be good in both Portal as well as WD end.
1 more thing, every interview is different from other, so no point in just mugging them out. Go through with there concepts. That way, you can answer twisted & scenario based questions.
Hope this will help.

if question solved, close the thread after marking it answered.

MSS and ADS

We are installing the MSS version of web dynpro. We have a straightforward environment thus far with a portal server (J2EE WAS) and an R/3 server (ABAP WAS). Accordingly we have installed the ESS and MSS java componenets on the portal server. ESS installed and working well with this arrangement.
We are beginning install/config of MSS Adobe-based PCR's, and from what I can glean from documentation and experience, 2 things seem to be true:
(1) the Adobe PCR forms themselves are resident within R/3 (probably included in a plugin), NOT in the java components (MSS or PCUI_GP) as one might expect
(2) to render the forms, you must have Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed on the R/3 server--not just on another portal server. ADS requires the J2EE add-in to the ABAP WAS. Therefore, it seems that use of the new PCRs requires the J2EE WAS add-in.
For those of you who have implemented "new" MSS, am I correct in making the 2 statements above?

Hello Dwight,
let me try to at least answer parts of your question.
- Yes, the ADS need to be deployed on a J2EE WAS to generate PDF based forms (e.g. PCRs) in MSS
- You can deploy the ADS on any Web AS 6.40 J2EE engine. It does not need need to be installed on the R/3 server. Typically we install it on a separate machine. The ADS is called by MSS through Web Services. You just need to configure the Java and ABAP WAS according to the ADS configuration guide.
- The MSS forms itself as well as the form integration framework (called ISR) is delivered as part of MSS

PDF, MSS, and ADS

Are you looking for points? Then you came to the right place!
I have MSS installed. However, when I go to start a Personnel Change Request form, I get a "Read timed out" error:
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF
Also, in ABAP, program FP_TEST_00 never finishes running.
I have followed all of the steps in the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide for NetWeaver 7.0:
1. The ABAP connection works fine with SA38 and FP_PDF_TEST_00
2. Username and password is fine (http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config)
3. I have installed xACF locally
etc. etc.
Anything I might be missing? Any ideas? What version of Adobe Reader should I have?

Hi,
Read Timeout using AdobeDocumentService/InteractiveForms within Web Dynpro. The problem may occur in complex system landscapes with proxies and firewalls. As a result, the servers have different names or ports when accessed internally. As the URL generation does not generate valid URLs or even firewalls are placed between the servers, the communication between Web Dynpro and the ADS fails.
If the system runs on stack 12, the latest WD runtime patch according to note 849851 must be applied. From stack 13 on, no additional patch need to be applied.
The communication between ADS and Web Dynpro should be configured to use SOAP only. As a result, the additional http calls between the internal servers are no longer used.
Use Visual Administrator to maintain propertysheet default:
go to Server -> Services -> Configuration Adapter -> webdynpro -> sap.com -> tcwddispwda
Edit the entry "sap.ADSCallingMode", change that value from "http" to "soap", save the changes and restart the cluster.
For more info refer note 867502
