MSS , Custom OADP

Hi All,
We are on ERP 2005 ( ECC 6.0) My SAP ERP BP 1.0
In MSS, Std SAP allows the Manager to view only if he/she is the chief of the org unit. We have a position to position reporting structure ( relat A/B 005). In the object and data provider , for ex, we have created a custom version of MSS_PCR_SELECT view. For the object selection rules , we have used custom evaluation paths to read the root , navigation and target objects.
Now the question is regarding the data provider - The standard view group MSS_PCR_DVGRP (custom changes made only for object provider and using the standard data provider) is used with std column groups, headers and columns.
The employee data : Name , Pernr , Office , Phone # and Email are displayed.
However , data in position and org unit are not displayed ( Cost center and Pre booking are ignored.. so not worried about them).
Further looking at The Function Modules HRWPC_CB_HIGHEST_POSITIONS HRWPC_CB_O_OF_HIGHEST_S that are responsible for grabbing the data from R/3 for position and Org unit respectively - These Std FMs do not function as they do for Std ( when a chief of org unit logs in).
My Conlusion: The need is to create custom FM to do the job and I would like to confirm this before throwing the ball in the developer's court !
Need Help - Any one who can share their views if they came across similar situation... can this ( or has it ) been achieved only based on configuring the evalaution paths etc... Any inputs will be highly appreciated !

In OADP ,there are two types of columns , functional column which cannot be edited in web dynpro java application and another type is application column which can be edited in application and the value of this column is handled in application using rfc enabled function module. MSS ECM comes with certain application column whose values are handled in MSS-ECM application . If you are trying to add custom application column you will have to handle that column value in your Z function module and also at OADP level you should not configure supply function for that column.
In order to call custom Z function module to handle custom application column I would suggest to create a seperate Software component and development component and in that handle the logic for calling Z Function module. Also you will have to define the usage of custom Development component in the MES-ECM standard component.

MSS , Customizing view groups OADP

Hi All,
This is about using MSS without chief position. As standard SAP allows only "chief" of the org unit to log on to MSS , we have customized some view groups ex MSS_PCR_SELECT in OADP ( Object and Data Provider) to enable the supervisor ( who is not a chief) to log on to MSS to complete the PCR..
Would like to know if someone has done similar customiztion for other view groups/worksets also. Mainly for approving time under workset "Team" and "Approve working time". Need to know which view group should be customized... any help will ne highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Karen,
Which evaluation path/s are you using to find employees?
Must admit I haven't tried it in the ECC version yet, but in the "old" OADP I did get this scenario working reliably at a previous customer site.
I found it was easiest to create a new view that firstly uses an evaluation path that found the managers' position for the "Root Object", and a second evaluation path that collects the employees via B002. Maybe it isn't quite so easy with the new team viewer config in ECC.......

ESS-MSS Custom Approval Level

Hi Guru,
We received requirement to add another level of approval between ESS and MSS (i.e. supervisor) in Portal.
Instead of going straight to MSS for approval (standard workflow), the customer want the 'Supervisor' to endorse the application first before the it goes to MSS for approval.
As for your info, we're implementing structural authorization and I plan to modify the standard authorization function module i.e. RH_GET_MANAGER_ASSIGNMENT to cater for this requirement.
Appreciate your advice if this approach; is this ok or is there any better way to do it.
Regards

Thanks Sidarth,
I understand that standard Authorization function module i.e. RH_GET_ORG_ASSIGNMENT can be used to restrict the Supervisor access to his own organization unit. However, there is possibility whereby this Supervisor might need to endorse
application send by employee that not belongs to his organization unit - sorry for not clariy this earlier.
Thus, for this specific case we're depending on S-S position which is A002. I'm not sure whether customizing function module is the best resolution. Appreciate advice from the experts before proceed with the function module modification.
Thanks alot

Service specific ESS/MSS customizing for netherlands

Hello experts,
could anyone please let me know if there are country specific ESS/MSS scenarios for netherlands are available. I couldn't find anytihing in the help.sap.com documentation.
Many thanks
Marco

Hi Marco
There should be specific country services for ESS netherlands - You should be able to see the following in the Homepage Framework customizing table of the back-end ECC system -->
EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_NL_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_BANK_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_BANK_NL_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_NL_SERVICE0
EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_NL_SERVICE05
The actual iviews and WD applications should be visible in the Portal PCD under the ESS role end user content or in J2EE WD content administrator under essnlxxx
If they are not available it could be you are missing essential ESS software components or have a different technology platform and older ESS version or too low an SP stack
MSS is general functionality which should be available in Dutch - this may be BP dependant therefore please check release notes or any download information for the software component for more details
Hope this helps

MSS custom query restrictions (table/view/join)

Dear all,
We are currently trying to integrate a sap query which also gathers data from event management. This query is based on an infoset and a table view and not on a logical database.
When executing the query within the portal (generictableview iview) we get the error message "No data records found". While debugging the function module HR_INFO_GET_USING_QUERY which is called here we found out that the error message is generated because no logical database is retrieved.
Therefore my question is: are mss queries in portal restricted to queries which are based on logical databases only or can we create and use queries in portal which are based on table/views/joins?
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks already very much in advance,
Helga

Hello MIG,
I am still searching and I have not found a solution yet.
Interestingly enough the query can be executed without any problems in R/3 but not from the portal iView. Therefore I am wondering if it is only a restriction on the MSS side.
@forum users: did anyone of you face this problem and has a solution to it?
Thanks very much for any input on this!
Kind regards,
Helga

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.
Miki

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.

MSS: customizing standard toolbar - repainting of screen - other issues

Hello,
1) In the System and Menu drop down menus there is a Print button. Is there any way of moving that button so it appears on the tool bar by itself?
2)When you display an ALV report in the web browser it, the report expands only as big as the browser initially opens. Before we upgraded to integrated ITS7 the previous version had the standard sap gui with the green check mark and an input field beside where you could enter a transaction. Our users would simply expand the browser and hit the check mark which would refresh the screen and the ALV report would expand to the size of the browser. I read you can not go back to previous themes. Is there any other logical solution anyone can think of
3)MSS -> HR Reports
For some of the reports if there is nothing to display (say because the user did not pick a proper date range) a sap screen in the brower states "No entry found for your selection"(so there is a meaningful message) but for some reports it does not do anything. Is there a way to get at the code to change that? Also for some of the reports if no criteria is put in the Seleted Objects table it goes to the report criteria selection screen in sap as if you launched it throught a transaction. Is there any way of blocking that and displaying a message to the user?
I'm just having a real hard time figuring out where and how all this is put together and where the source code is.
Thanks
Preston Sampson

Hi Preston,
1.) it is unfortunately not possible to move the button from the menu to the top. What should be possible is to catch Ctrl-P in webgui as in SAP GUI if the print entry in the menu is available. We (ITS development team) will check this.
2.) With current SP from NW2004s webgui automatically sends a resize event to the backend. Therefore the ALV will use the full screen area after maximizing the browser window.
3.) if the report works this way there is no chance to change this on ITS/webgui level.
Best regards,
Klaus

How to make a column field editable through OADP customization

HI Every body,
I am facing a issue during oadp customization.As part of our requirement , i have added a column to the compensation planning in mss through OADP and the column is displaying fine,but the issue is that,the fields are not editable.So can anyone let me know ,how can i make the field editable through OADP customization.Is it really possible to do through OADP or not?
Regards
RRAY

for which application you added the columns?
let me explain takinh ECM as an example
The backend part of the OADP provides a possibility to define data
columns without assigning a function module for data extraction to it.
The content of these columns as well as the column properties have to be
defined in the application coding(WebDynpro frontend application) which
is the reason why these columns are called #Application Columns#. The
advantage of application columns is two-fold: Firstly, their content can
be calculated dynamically during runtime in dependence of both, the
content of other columns and application data. Secondly, it#s even
possible to have data columns ready for input. These columns are build
in the frontend webDynpro application, therefore for your custom column
group, kindly assign the standard for these three columns.
For OADP customizing of the compensation planning application kindly
follow the link below.

Compensation Specialist Role through MSS

Hi All,
We have new requirement to build Compensation Specialist role through MSS instead of using Default ECC Compensation Specialist role and Compensation Specialist business Package role.
This is My Requirement, if i am login as an MSS Compensation Specialist role in my SAP Portal, i need to able to see all employees in that Organization Structure and i need to able to plan and update for employees instead of planning for only my direct employees as a manager.
Even though i am in first level, second level or top level manager, that doesn't matter.
My question is only the thing is how to create the custom evaluation path, Object Selection Rules and Object Selection.
If any one has been completed this configuration, please help me with step by step.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Abhiram.

Hi Bala,
Nice to see your reply, my client wants from MSS itself instead of the Business Package role etc. He wants to Manage Compensation Specialist Role responsibilities through MSS itself.
Here we are using completely customized OADP for my MSS Components, i did the whole customization, every thing is working fine. Now i have to do this one also. My client is very much interested on this one.
If you know the solution please share with me.
Thanks in advance.

PSA Deletion problem

Hi All,
We are trying to delete the PSA requests by manually but when we go to few PSA tables there we are not able to delete the requests from the Data Source.
The PSA Table name is also like this /BIC/B0000535001.
When I try to delete the one request from the PSA its throwing error as RSDU_TABLE_DROP_PARTITION_MSS Error while creating the clone table /BIC/B0000535001
Can we know what the clone table and How to solve this issue ASAP.
Thanks
Sravani

Hi Sravani,
Please try the below things, hope this may solve ur problm.
There are two main steps you must perform:
(1) fix the reason why the table drop fails and then
(2) remove the shadow tables so processing can continue.
To determine why the partition drop failed, we recommend checking:
1. The SQL Server Error Log - this will tell you if the transaction log ran out of space. The log can be seen via SQL Server tools or transactions ST04/DBACOCKPIT.
2. The Blocking Lock Monitor - as long as you have the monitor job active, this transaction will show if there is blocking occurring. This monitor is in transactions ST04/DBACOCKPIT.
3. The Deadlock Monitor - will show if there was a deadlock at the time of the partition drop. This monitor is in transactions ST04/DBACOCKPIT.
After you have determined the root cause, you must correct it before removing the shadow tables. If the log ran out of space then you must move it to a drive with enough space or add another log file on a different drive with enough space. If the root cause is blocking or deadlocks then first search SAP Notes for known solutions or, secondly, open a customer message in BC-SYS-DB-MSS if you need help. In all other cases, open a BC-SYS-DB-MSS customer message so the development support team can assist you in finding the cause.
After you have corrected the root cause, you must remove the shadow tables. You can do this with the latest version of the SAP ABAP program RSDD_MSSQL_CUBEANALYZE (install the latest version which is attached to SAP Note 991014). After the program is installed, execute it with SE38 and choose Settings -> Expert Mode. Acknowledge the warning, press the Detail button under the Determine All Shadow Objects item and press Start Check. Then select each shadow table and press Delete Clone Table.
For more information regarding SAP BW's use of SQL Server table partitioning, read the white paper titled "Table Partitioning in SAP BI on Microsoft® SQL Server# 2005/2008". The paper is currently available for download at:
