Mss & managers desktop

Hi ,
Are these both mss and manger desktop same??

You can start working only when you install the Business Package in your system & already have the Enterprie Portal up & running.. What is wrong with SAP Help? it is quite exhaustive enough & serves as a great reference. Anyway, you can check the following links too..

Org unit from managers desktop

Hi All,
I've created a report and it's been attached with the managers desktop.Now when I call this report from managers desktop, I want to read the Organization unit in my report before doing anything. I'm using PNP logical databse.With PCH logical database I could read the org unit but with PNP I can't read until I reach to GET PERNR statement. I can't use PCH logical databse as the requirement is to run the report based on employee number selection within that org unit.
It works fine even with PNP also but the customer wants to have cutomized screen to go back and forth years to see the report and while executing this custom funtionality , it's not picking the correct org unit.So I want to store the org unit the very first time when I'm calling the report and then I'll pass the same stored org unit for further functionality.
If anyone has idea how to grab this org unit , pls let me know. Will award points.
Thanks
Alok

Alok,
That is how I coded the Org.stru logic in my code ( FYI - I used LDB PNP ) ..
SELECT-OPTIONS: pnpobjid FOR PERNR-orgeh NO INTERVALS.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR pnpobjid-LOW . "OUTPUT.
CALL FUNCTION 'RP_PNP_ORGSTRUCTURE'
    EXPORTING
      begda = SY-DATUM
      endda = SY-DATUM
      plvar = '01'
    TABLES
      pobjid = pnpobjid.
Loop at P_obj.
And in HRp1000    OBJID = p_OBJ-LOW
endloop .
Hope this will help !
Good luck !

Authorization Managers Desktop 0% Staffing Percentage

Hello,
there is the following requirement: In Managers Desktop Supervisors should get no authorizations for employees who hold positions with 0% staffing percentage in his responsibilty area.
Is there anyone who has an idea how to map this?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Daniela

Hi Helen,
Since it is a custom Report, you can check if the contents of the internal table used for output and issue a message after the end-of-selection event.
something like this..
END-OF-SELECTION.
if t_out[] is initial.
write:/ 'No data Selected'.
else.
*Continue with your normal processing
endif.

HR Managers Desktop and JVM

Hi everyone,
I have been asked the question "Does Managers Desktop (MDT) require Sun's Java Virtual Machine in order to run?"
If MDT <i><b>does</b></i> need a JVM to run ?
Can it be one other than Suns version?
Thanks in Advance.
Tony Roundhill.

I believe, JVM is linked to Graphics related stuff . As such we dont have any graphics related stuff in PPMDT.

In MSS Managers can able to view their subordinates

Dear Gurus,
We have an requirement where in the manager should be able to display only his reporting employees when ever the managers logs in EP MSS portal without maintaing chief relationship.
For Eg if 5 managers are existing in Org unit and all the 5 managers have different employees reporting them in this case the managers when he logs in his EP MSS portal should only display his subordinate employees to him.But in this case we cant maintain all 5 managers as chief.
Kindly advise as to how to solve.
Thanks well in advance....................

Dear Sameer

Dual Head - Window managers / Desktop enviroments Issues

Hi.
Grasping how Xorg, KDM/GDM, and the many DE:s / WM:s handle Dual head and the likes is not a walk in the park. This is really not really helpful towards newbies, setting up tv-out and such...
Xinerama - cons:
No DRI / openGL
Not all apps are xinerama aware, and not many have option to be started up on xinerama screen.
Xinerama - pros:
Drag apps between screens
Xinerama - usability:
KDE: good
Gnome: poor (apps end up on second screen, second monitor is not very configurable)
Xfce: good
TvinView - cons:
Missing features (A good example is crt is primary monitor, ALWAYS. Not fun when using laptops in tvinview configs)
TvinView - pros:
Accelerated output.
Good configurability in xorg.conf (makes your brain hurt though)
TvinView - usability:
Cant say, not been experimenting much. should be the same as dual screens.
Dual Screens - cons:
Cant move apps between screens.
You get a barebone "extra" desktop on second screen, for "free", yay!
Dual Screen - pros:
Accelerated output
Start apps with enviroment variable "DISPLAY=0.1" to second screen
Duals Screen - usability:
KDE: good
Gnome: poor (Apps end up on wrong screen all to often, Autostarted apps in the notification area / system tray crashes)
Xfce: good
Needless to say i think all setups pretty much suck, but what to do, what to do...
Either way i run dual screens because i want glx accelerated graphics.
As i use xfce and kde, i have no problems with this setup, but what about all gnome people?
Also, i've been browsing the net for DAYS (really) trying to figure out how to stop xfce, gnome and kde from loading that second desktop. There is NO info whatsoever on how to do this.
I want plain X, on my second screen/head. I have heard of people having this, but because of gnome/whatever not supporting dual-head, back in the days. Also one guy i spoke with accidently got this behaviour with KDE 3.5.2 when changing from gdm to kdm.
I also WANT this bug (which for me would be a feature!).
This way i could fire up another WM on that head, or why not freevo as a dedicated media player together with my remote control?
help me out...

@pelle: I have the same problem with gnome... in my xinitrc I first start ratpoison on the second screend but if I start gnome afterwards it takes both screens anyway. It currently only works with two 'simple' WMs. Though, I like Fluxbox as a replacement for gnome/kde very much. If it only had support for beryl, it would definately be my WM of choice.
@tmadhavan: You can indeed only have one exec line but you can execute any amount of commands before that line adding a '&' at the end of the line. The exec just defines the command that is linked to the XServer which means, if the 'exec' command exits, then the Xserver exits as well. But it doesn't have the WM you use with 'exec'. I once used a script I had written there, that allowed me to change the WM on the fly without shutting down neither X itself, nor any application I had running.

MDT (Managers Desktop) - Adding a URL link

Hi,
We have a R/3 4.5B system for HR and are using the MDT functionality. Could you please tell if it is feasible to have a link to an URL from the MDT and return to the MDT screen (on clicking the back button of the browser) without having to login again.
Looking forward to your comments.
Many Thanks,
Sudarshan

Hi Sudarsan,
I don't think it feasible to get back into SAP via the BACK button on the browser. But why do you have to log on again? You can have the URL open in a new window and leave the SAP session open.

Diferent Window Managers/Desktop Managers diferente font sizes.

For some time now I've used openbox.... and i like it very alot.
But along came AIGLX and Beryl :D:D:D
I had to try it!!!!
So I installed gnome and am currently using it (with and without Beryl)
But I noticed something strange:the font sizes where completely different from OpenBox.
The fonts I used for the applications in Openbox "grew" when I started them in Gnome.
If I set the fonts I like in gnome, then they "shrink" when run in OpenBox......
This is a small problem (not really important) but it's been bugging me for some days now...... and I just want to know why this happens and (if possible) how to fix it.

No reports displayed in MSS Report Launchpad

Hello everybody,
We set up ESS/MSS on a distributed environment.
Backend:
     ECC 6.0 EhP 3
     Single-ABAP Stack
     Installed Backend Component EA-HR 603
     Activated Backend Function EA_FIN_1
Portal:
     NW 7.0 SPS 17
     Single-Java Stack
     Installed Components: SAPPCUI_GP 603 SP4, SAP_ESS 603 SP3, SAP_MSS 600 SP15
Problem
The configuration works fine for a couple of ESS and MSS iViews and pages, but we get the following problem with MSS Reports:
-> When calling the Launchpad no reports are displayed and an info message is shown telling "No objects were personalized".
-> When clicking on "Change Launchpad" you see several reports sorted in groupings. They are already listed in the table of shown reports but are not displayed in the launchpad.
-> When clicking on "Save and Exit" you get two additional info messages telling "No Applications entered", but no reports are displayed. When you then open "change launchpad" screen again the reports totally disappear from table of shown reports.
Portal Launchpad Configuration:
-> pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.common
-> The launchpad iView connects to the backend via SSO which works fine for a lot of other ESS/MSS iViews
-> As application parameters the following is configured: "class=CL_FPB_SNI_ACCESS&role=MSS&instance=REP&display_external=X"
Backend Customization:
-> When launching transaction "fpb_launchpad_cust" with role MSS and instance REP you can see all the reports which are displayed in "change launchpad" screen.
-> All the reports are Transaction Reports
-> The Manager's Desktop (MDT) is not used
So:
1.) Why are the reports not displayed in the launchpad, but in the "Change Launchpad" screen?
2.) Did we forget any customizing?
3.) Why do we see such info messages like "No objects were personalized"?
4.) And what refers the application parameter "class=CL_FPB_SNI_ACCESS" to?
Please help me,
Dennis

Hi everybody,
finally we managed to fix this bug on our own.
We set up the Managers Desktop (MDT) as suggested by SAP. But the MDT's reports could not be converted to the launchpad.
Then we recognized via debugging that for any reason the following entries were missing in table FPB_LP6_SNI_REQ:
- Role ROLE C 3 MSS
- Instance INSTANCE C 3 REP
Adding these entries manually fixed the problem.

Dennis Bohlmann

Problem with MSS Launchpad

Hello folks,
We are facing some problem with MSS Launchpad after the service pack, we have checked sicf, lpd_cust and done most of the troubleshooting steps,reached to point where we found table T77MWBFCD and changed the URL value here, launchpad worked but the URL which we want to work and which was working fine in the past has stopped working.
Any help will be appreciated.

Integrate Sap Query into ESS and MSS

Hello
I have been following this http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-50736;IDSactivation=99FDF6E06B5918D0293BF0BE7884FBCB0606A0F376FFD7908517BA7F2738E3A6
for the intergration of SAP Query.
However i am getting stuck at step 6 as it appears RP_MSS_CONVERT_MDT_TO_LPD_CUST
does not exist and ideas what i am missing.
So i have had to convert my MDT scenario using PWPC_CONV_MDT_TO_LPA
From there i have then been able to run program APB_LPD_LPA_CUST_TO_LPD_CUST
which has converted it into a launchpad in LPD_CUST, however once there it has no system alias defined for my applications so they won't launch and the launchpad entries for managers desktop don't give me a system alias option.
Regards
Adam

Hi Adam,
what release are you on? Do you use any Add-ons? The document you are following is written for EHP6, and I think MSS Add-On 1.0 is also needed as this add-on brings the WD ABAP applications for MSS.
The report you don't have in your system is located in the WDA specific package for MSS, so I think it comes with the Add-on. The transaction you use for launchpad generation is the "old" one, that can be used from Enterprise Portal. Inside portal, you have a launchpad iView with properties for the scenario and the system alias.
Do you have a possibility to install MSS Add-On 1.0? This should solve your problem and let you follow the guide.
Regards,
Marc

Support for manager desktop

Anyone any idea how long SAP will continue including Managers Desktop in their ERP releases?
Ta
J

Do not confuse MDT and MSS....no where near the same. MDT is a reporting application within R/3(and ECC). While on the other hand, MSS encompasses several manager-specific services out-of-the-box including a reporting service that utilizes the MDT configuration. With MDT, you bascially set up various reporting "catalogs"...think of them as libraries/groupings of reports for your managers. Some of these "catalogs" may be exposed in MSS while others may only be accessible through the MDT transaction (PPMDT) within the SAP backend. With MDT configuration, it is very easy to build a reporting catalog/menu with R/3 reports, BW reports, Crystal reports, external links, etc. without having to do to much work. Then, via MSS, it simply "plugs into" the MDT config and can allow a user to very simply run reports over the web (ie. no need to set up iViews for each and every report for example). Make sense? Hope it helps clear up any confusion.
