MSS Employee Search - Filter option

Hi All,
Is there any way to make the filter option "ON" by default in MSS employee search component.
I have checked with UI personalization in WD Java. However, it doesn't help us to fix this.
Is there any way to raise the Filter event "ON" display of employees list ?
Or Will Self service administrator role can help us to achive thisr requirement ?
Kindly share your experiences.

Anil Kumar

However, no solution found as of now....
Any help help would of highly appreciated.

Webdynpro Application Name for MSS/Employee Search Iview

Hi all,

Customizing standard MSS Employee Search (Web Dynpro Java)

Hi Guys,
Currently I am working on EP 7.0, and we have some requirements on MSS Employee Search.
Based on SAP help:
Technical Names of iViews :     com.sap.pct.erp.mss.employeesearch_geinfo
Technical Names of Web Dynpro Applications :     sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation
So downloaded package msseeprosap.com through NWDI, and opened in NWDS.
There are 3 applications there:
com.sap.xss.hr.eeprofile.GeneralInformation
com.sap.xss.hr.eeprofile.CompensationInformation
com.sap.xss.hr.eeprofile.PersonnelDevelopment
and 2 Components:
CEmployeeProfile_1Comp
CEmployeeProfileAllComp
but there is no views inside these 2 components which contains the screen layout.(E.g: Dropdown list for Employee Selection, Input fields for Last name, Personal Number, Personal area, etc)
How can I identify which package contains the screen layout for employee search?
Thanks a lot.

currently our project has a requirement to modify Employee Search iview: When user select one Org Unit, We need to have a button under the table which contains the users.
We imported package msstmvsap.com and found that it is using OADP screen.
Thus we imported pcui_gpoadpsap.com, we feel View "DataViewView" is the view that contains the user table, so I simply added one textview there, then deploy to server.
Then I run Employee Search, it is giving error
   java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sap.xss.ser.oadp.java.OADPObject incompatible with com.sap.xss.ser.oadp.java.OADPObject
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.VTeamViewerComp.onBeforeOutput(VTeamViewerComp.java:303)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.wdp.InternalVTeamViewerComp.onBeforeOutput(InternalVTeamViewerComp.java:210)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.VTeamViewerCompInterface.onBeforeOutput(VTeamViewerCompInterface.java:144)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.wdp.InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface.onBeforeOutput(InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface.java:136)
    at com.sap.xss.hr.tmv.vac.wdp.InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface$External.onBeforeOutput(InternalVTeamViewerCompInterface.java:212)
Then i removed that textview, deploy again, still it has this problem.
Any help?
Thanks with rewarding points!

MSS Employee Search

Hi all,
I'm implementing a custom service for managers and I need to execute a employee search. I'm using FPM and I wanna know if there are a standard way to implement it. If so, which is and how can I do it?
Regards,
Gregory.

Hi Gregory,
Please have a look at the standard iview for Team Viewer.
Portal Content - Content provided by SAP - line_manager - Manager Self-Service - iViews - HCM - Employee Search (Generic iview)
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.genericiview_teamviewer
Under Employee Selection - you can see different options - Direct Reports, Employees for Org Structure, Employees for Org Units, and Employee Search.
This iview is configurable using the Backend configuration and changing a couple of iview properties.
You can also customize the search criteria according to your needs.
Here is the link with some info:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/b8/0808e1c6b44d90b906a4cf97ccc925/frameset.htm
You can integrate a copy of this iview (customized) into a page and then add your custom iview at the bottom and subscribe to the team viewer events as explained in the wiki link I mentioned earlier.
If you try to integrate the application directly using FPM integration - it will be hard to customize it to your needs.
Thanks,
Shanti

MSS Employee Search results

Hi All,
        Just wondering if any one knew if the standard delivered MSS > Team > General Information > Employee Search (a.k.a OADP) shows separated/withdrawn/terminated employees as part of search results. I just separated a couple of employees in our development environment with PA40 only to find out that they are still showing up under direct repots.
        If this is indeed a standard behavior is there any way to filter the search results to display only active employees without having to customize OADP configuration?
Thanks,
Winston

you can do so in ESS STAT2 settings in table T77S0
ie
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Personnel Management > Employee
Self-Service > Service-Specific Settings > Address Book > Who's Who >
Who's Who (ESS): Refine Employee Search
If you wanted to restrict the search to all active employees, you would
need the next entry on table T77S0: ESS STAT2 3
You can get further information about Organization Chart iview on the
next link:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/69acffed1b30f3e1000000
0a11466f/frameset.htm
. The Function
module      HRXSS_ORG_GET_ORGCHAR intern calls Function module
     EVAL_INITIA which filters and select the per.nos and send to the
front end; and same list is being displayed ; and also the search query
/SAPQUERY/HR_XX_PA_ESS also plays an important role.

MSS Employee search and General Data

Hi All,
We are implementing ESS/MSS. When i preview "Employee Search" iview in (Content Provided by SAP>Line Manager> Employee Search) iview. It shows all employees under that line manger with all options. But when i click on any employee, it is not showing any information. I tried to test "General Data" iview, it simply shows "Please select any employee, to display data" text only.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Krish.

Hi,
Please check your OADP customizing.
If your system is at ERP 2004 release refers to ~
Different Features of OADP based on ERP 2004 https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/DifferentFeaturesofOADPbasedonERP+2004
If your system is at ECC 6.0 release refers to ~

Hi John,
I am also doing the same thing.but the control is not going to the event handeler method.and it is not subscribing to the event also i guess.
below is the code i have written in the View of my component WDOINIT.
    l_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
    l_portal_manager = l_api_component->get_portal_manager( ).
    DATA l_wd_view TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
    l_wd_view ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    CALL METHOD l_portal_manager->subscribe_event
      EXPORTING
        portal_event_namespace = 'urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch'
        portal_event_name      = 'SELECTION_CHANGED'"'selection_changed'
        view                   = l_wd_view
        action                 = 'SUBSCRIBE_TO_EVENT'.
and the event handeler code is :-
method ONACTIONSUBSCRIBE_TO_EVENT .
DATA: evt_name TYPE string.
DATA lo_nd_gc_event_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_gc_event_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
*DATA ls_gc_event_data TYPE wd_this->element_gc_event_data.

evt_name = wdevent->get_string( name = 'PORTAL_EVENT_NAME' ).
IF evt_name = 'selection_changed'.
lv_event_string = wdevent->get_string( name = 'PORTAL_EVENT_PARAMETER' ).
get single attribute
*lo_el_gc_event_data->set_attribute(
*EXPORTING
*name = `EVENT_STRING`
*value = 'handled' ).
ENDIF.

MSS Employee search; Remember last "Group of organization view"

I have a business requirement that the "employee search" has to remember the users last selected view in "employee selection".
Day 1: The user default gets "direct employees" (due to customizing) and changes the selection to "all employees".
Day 2: The user default gets "alle employees"
Can that be done?

Thanks for the information.
The cache lifetime (teamviewer.sap.xss.tmv.cachemaxage) is set to 1 by the system as standard.
No matter if I put 0 or 1 or 9 or 99 or 100 the result is the same ......
When I return to the page, the Employee search shows "Direct reports".
So.... it doesnt work for me
Can anyone help?

MSS: Employee Search: Data View

Hi All,
I need a few clarifications regarding the Data View of Employee Search/Team Viewer iview.
1)"Click"ability of Employee in Data View
2)"Click"ability of any other object type, like Org Unit or Position in the Data View
After my trials, I'd like to know the following.
If I use the delivered object selection rules (in SPRO config), I'm able to click on the employee (i.e there's a link under the employee name in the Data View). If I use any other rule (a custom object selection rule with evaluation path O-S-P) I dont get the "link" under the employee name in the data view. Any reasons for this behaviour? or any rules regarding an object selection rule?
If I display Positions or Org Units in the Data View, they are not clickable either. Is this not allowed? Is Data View only to display employees?
If there's any other forum I'm more likey to get an answer, please lead me there.
Cheers,
Rajit

Hi Rajit
In most of the HR Implementation projects,in front end some of the fields are only displayed to the end user,The Examples of the fields are Position,Org unit,personal area,personal subarea,company code,Functional org unit,job number,some times cost center is also display only to end user.Even I am also in the project of HR Implementation as webdynpro as a front end we generally will not give a chance to enter the above fields by the end user.

MSS employee search refresh frequency

Hi all,
In MSS on the iview employee_search that contains a table with the manager employees. There is a small link 'Refresh' on bottom right, that refreshes the table.
How can I change the frequency of this refreshing time? Is it possible to refresh everytime the page is loaded?
Thanks a lot for your cooperation.
Cheers,
André

refer the customisation in the note 954931
ie
The validity of the cached data can be define via iView property 'Cache
Lifetime'. The default value is '1' that means that the data is valid
for one day (to improve the iView performance).
If you want to have a different behaviour, you could change this caching
parameter (e.g. set it to -1 to disable the caching at all).

How to add Search (Filter) option to my existing code?

Hi,
The following code works great. Just I want to add a Text Box to search the desired item from the huge list. Please help me in this regard. I would like to pay in return for any help & support provided as I am in urgent need of this code (I am from INDIA).
[code]

var COL_SLNO:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("SL_NO");
myGrid.addColumn(COL_SLNO);
COL_SLNO.width=40
var COL_DATE:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("DATE");
myGrid.addColumn(COL_DATE);
COL_DATE.width=130
var COL_PDFURL:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("FILE_NAME");
myGrid.addColumn(COL_PDFURL);
COL_PDFURL.sortOptions = Array.NUMERIC;
COL_PDFURL.width=195
var allDatabase:Array = [];// contains all users like in xml
var currentDatabase:Array = [];// contains users that need to be displayed
var _loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var _data:XML = new XML();
_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, readXML);
_loader.load(new URLRequest("EHSSDocs/Database.xml"));
function readXML(event:Event):void
_data = new XML(event.target.data);
for each (var usr in _data.user)
allDatabase.push({id: usr.@id, SLNO: usr.@SLNO, DATE: usr.@DATE, PDFURL: usr.@PDFURL});
currentDatabase = allDatabase.concat();
updateList();
function updateList():void
myGrid.dataProvider = new DataProvider ();
for (var i:int = 0; i<currentDatabase.length; i++)

function gridItemClick (e:ListEvent):void
var urlR:URLRequest=new URLRequest(e.target.getItemAt(e.rowIndex).FILE_NAME)
navigateToURL(urlR, "_blank");
I hope the following code may resolve the problem. But don't know how to modify it since I am retrieving data using XML file.
[code]
var itemTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
itemTextInput.move(10, 10);
itemTextInput.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
addChild(itemTextInput);
function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
var arr:Array = dp.toArray();
var filteredArr:Array = arr.filter(filterDataProvider);
myGrid.dataProvider = new DataProvider(filteredArr);
function filterDataProvider(obj:Object, idx:int, arr:Array):Boolean {
var txt1:String = itemTextInput.text;
var txt2:String = obj.item.substr(0, txt1.length);
if (txt1.toLowerCase() == txt2.toLowerCase()) {
return true;
return false;

How to pass Employee number of MSS - Employee Search to Start Process

Hi All,
Just like HR admin role, Employee Information number is getting passed in Display Processes, Start Processes, and Personnel File, we have to make same scenario working for MSS also.
In MSS, General Information Page, when manager selects the Employee, then that Employee Number should get passed in Display Personnel File and also in Start Process.
I am new to HR module so I have not explined the requirement properlly, but Experts may be knowing this. Please help.
Regards,
Nikesh

Hi Siddharth Rajora,
I have actually 2 doubts..
1. You mean to say this can be done and is already implemented, but I think it will only work if we put "Display Personnel File and Start Process" under "Related Activities" area right ?
2. But user wants these views in the Detailed Navigation, so if he selects PERNER from general Information Page, and then if he clicks on "Start Process (under Detailed Navigation)" , then it shud show list of processes for that Employee.
Can you please guide me properly.

How do you save a custom search filter for projects/ library?

Is there a way to save a customized default for the way I will use search filter options?
I've looked everywhere... It seems the seach filter for every project just wants to behave on it's own accord.
Most of the time, I just want to search different projects the same way with one, filtered result!

The Filter settings are sticky. Every container listed on the Library tab of the Inspector keeps it's own Filter settings, set to whatever was last used.
I'm not aware of any way to set a default Filter.
You could create a Folder and put a Smart Album in that Folder with "Source" set to the Folder. Any Albums or Projects you put in the Folder become the superset for the Filter you set in the Smart Album. This is a pretty sophisticated set-up, however. What is the filter you need, and how often do you need it?
