MSS reports launch pad - Employee selection

Hi,
I have configured the reporting launch pad and I can run a report on MSS launch pad. I am on ECC 6 ehp 4.
When manager runs a report, he can not select employees and then run a report.
In the ITS version of report launchpad, manager could select an employee or set of employees reporting to him and then run a report for selected employees. I want to use similar functionality in ECC6 ehp4.
The Reporting launchpad does not allow me to select an employee and then run a report. Is there any configuration for this or the new reporting launch pad does not support this functionality?
Many Thanks
Ashutosh

Error in MSS Report (Using MSS Reporting Launch Pad)

Hello,
I'm currently using the convert manager's desktop data to MSS report launch pad for the portal.
When trying to run the report in MSS, I'm getting the error below:
"Error in Manager Self Service. When calling the report, the following error occured. Error when executing query Z_ABCD." This is from an SAP Query report and I could not determine what caused this error.
Have anyone encounter this and if you are able to resolve it?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

MSS - Reports - Launch Pad - Urgent

Hi,
Am implementing ESS/ MSS (ECC 6.0) . My EP (7.0) is ready . When i log in to portal page, in MSS role, their is functionality called REPORTS. They are not getting executed. Do i need any configuration frm R/3 for alunchpad ?
Pls help as its high priority. Points will be rewarded.
Kiran

i think you need to configure under Launch Pad, then only Manager's will be able to access the reports.in this launch pad under manager self-service reporting note, you can create a new folder to add all the reports that you want to be accessed by the managers. quoting below the help available under this node for ready reference
"In this IMG activity, you define the applications (links to reports, transactions, URLs) for the Launchpad iView .
For additional information, see the SAP Library under SAP ERP Central Component -> Business Packages/Functional Packages -> Business Package for Common Parts -> Launchpad.
Standard settings
If you are using the Hierarchy then the object types of the hierarchy are displayed as object nodes. The object nodes in this case form the first level of the subdivision of the launchpad. For the Business Unit Analyst you can determine the selection of object types under Business Unit Analyst 2.0 (mySAP ERP) -> Hierarchy -> Set Hierarchy. You cannot change the selection for the Manager Self-Service.
Activities
When you execute the IMG activity for the first time or have not yet saved any settings, you need to decide whether you want to use the Hierarchy. If you do want to use the hierarchy, proceed as follows:
1. Select an object node. When you do this, other pushbuttons are displayed.
2. You can assign all applications directly to the object node. In addition, you can group the launchpad by creating new folders. The folders are used in the portal as headers for the links to the applications.
Choose New Folder. Enter a text for the new folder, and choose Enter. The folder is added below the selected node.
3. To create applications, select the object node or the folder to which you want to assign the applications, and choose New Application.
4. Enter the required data.
5. Select the application category. Depending on your selection additional input fields are displayed, which you can use to specify or select the parameters of the application.
6. If you want to enter a description that is displayed in the portal under the link but is to be longer than 255 characters, choose Editor for Description to the right of the field Descript..
7. Enter the System Alias (except for URL).
If you donot want to use the hierarchy, first select the uppermost node if this has not already been selected. The uppermost node then takes over the functions of the object node. You can therefore assign folders and applications direct to this node without a hierarchy.
The inactive applications folder is used for collecting the applications that are available in the portal, but that you do not want to display. These applications are displayed in the"

MSS reports LAunch pad

Hi guys,
Do we need

Can any one throw some light on this.

MSS - team - General Data, Employee selection add Custom col with KM link

Hi There,
I am trying to add a custom column for MSS team selection for general data. Which works alright, now i want to make that column click able (like email) and this should direct me to a dynamic Km link based on employee selected.
I have added custom column and able to display custom content on the team member selection table. I am able to make it clickable if i select "link" option on column configuration. So that also works.. now i want to pass employee number to my custom webdynpro application. Can you suggest anything here.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
If I understand correctly, though oadp config, you have added new column and attached a service key to make it as a clickable one. Once u er clicks on the link, I believe you want to display the KM doc which takes pernr as url parameter or some thing like that.
If my understanding is correct then, you have to create a WD Application, which reads the selected pernr( or org or position). You need to add pcui_gp/xssutils as used DC and then add context nodes of FcObjectSelection to read the selected record details as described in the above wiki which I gave i.e. https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/How-toaddacustomWebDynproiViewtotheMSSEmployeeProfile%28ECC+6.0%29
You have to pass the value returned by the Selected Object to the KM as url parameter.
Also use this blog to see the frontend context values of WDJ application. It will help you in understanding the various values of the context nodes.

MSS reports displaying Employee Information iView

Hi all,
I'm currently working on MSS project where I'm trying to show reports on MSS portal.
I have done the neccessary configurations regarding tables:
T77MWBS (Manager's Desktop Senarios)
T77MWBFCD (Function Code Definitions)
T77MWBFCO (Object-dependent Function Codes)
T77MWBFCH (Function Code Hierarchies)
and also converted MDT data to MSS Reporting Launch Pad using RPT0 senario.
The reports are showing in the MSS portal but when i click on for instance Birthdays, a new window pops up showing Launchpad for Reports page but I'm not able to define selection criteria i.e. select an employee from a list but instead I'm redirected to General Information page where General Data and Personal Data iViews are displayed. I clicked the Options button on the popup window to view Details and I'm able to see:
Portal Components: com.sap.portal.wdintegrator.WebDynproIntegratorPage
Object ID: pcd:portal_content/com.customer.customer_content/com.customer.customer/com.customer.roles/com.customer.mss/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.general_information
A theori i have is that Launchpad for Reports is redirecting me to General Information page and maybe the issue lies here. If that's the case, where do i change the pcd path to the correct Launch pad?
I'm missing some configuration but can't seem to figure out what.
Now, I'm hoping for you experts to guide me and show me the way to a successful and working portal solution.
Points will be rewarded to helpful answers.
Thanks in advance.

Messay
Can somebody please help me with this issue, it's urgent!!

Hello,
Yes, you can build a WDA application to pick up the events from the WDJ application if and only if the events are portal events - quite a few of the WDJ apps actually share information through using a common component - not events.
I would also check however, that there is not an easier way of picking up which employee has been selected - you may be able to within the RFCs that are being called add an enhancement to export the selected person to a shared memory object, which could be read by the WDA component.
I've used this in the past to allow a WDA report to be launched from a WDJ application - taking the details of the selected item (in particular this was for WDA reporting on MSS ECM).
Not sure what you mean with respect to the eventing of the FPM.
You cannot include a WDA component as a Java FPM VC - so there is no way of having the WDA within your Java FPM application - events you raise to the FPM are only handled within the application.
An alternate approach is to use the OADP views for selection and configure the columns to have links that open new windows, use the proxy class of the HPF link to embed in each link the personnel number of the employee selected - pass this as a URL parameter to the new page, this can then be picked up by both WDA applications.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Chris

How to add report name to MSS reports in NWBC

I am using the standard report Launchpad in HRMSS_REPORTING_LAUNCHPAD in role SAP_MANAGER_MSS_SR_NWBC_3 role to allow managers run certain reports.
When I open Reports launch pad, all the reports appear with the description of the report such as Personal Data, Org data etc.
However when I run the report, the technical name of the report appears at the top.
An example of this would be running report Personal data, when run the header is reading 0HCM_PA_T01_Q0008.
How can I replace the tech name of the report to read the description instead
i.e. Personal data to appear at the top instead of 0HCM_PA_T01_Q0008.
thanks
clive

Hello Clive,
I think you should contact your development team. Probably some field is visible in Application Configuration and that is why it shows up. I think the best will be that you seek help from your Development team.

Custom Reports in MSS Reports iView

I've looked all over for the answer to this. I've pulled a custom report through the MSS Reports iView, however, the selection criteria (personnel numbers and orgs) are not being passed. The custom rpt is being displayed at the selection screen for the custom rpt. Do I have to do something additional on the custom rpt, like remove the select screen? Is there something I'm missing in the config for the iView? Thanks!

MSS: Launch Pad with projects and orders

Hi!
We'd implemented a scenario in our MDT for reporting projects and orders which are assigned to employees in OrgManagement.
This works fine.
We are now implementing MSS (ERP2005 and EP7). We have implemented data and object provider, new column groups, but when starting the report from the launch pad, there are only employees selectable. Is there anything else to do?
Thanks for any hints!

MSS report not passing values from portal to selection screen fields

Hello Gurus,
We have a problem with Sickness Absences report in MSS which is a Z copy of the standard report RPTABS20.
The problem is when the manager defines the selection criteria and selects the other period dates and under Organizational View - selects All Organizational Units and highlights one org unit and report results, then the report displays the employees which are currently not part of same org unit as selected in selection criteria. But these employees were present in this org unit in past when they took leave, which comes under the same period as given on selection screen. So in a way it seems to be right. But the requirement is to only display the employees which are currently present in this org unit.
The report seems to be working fine in backend where we specified the same date range and org unit on selection screen.
On our investigation in portal we came to know that the org unit field on selection screen PNPORGEH is not getting filled with org unit number selected on portal.
On further investigation in debugging we came across the fm HRWPC_RPT_START_REPORT which calls fm HRWPC_RPT_FCODE_EXEC which in turn calls fm HR_HIS_EXECUTE and it executes the report with following code:
    SUBMIT (repos-repid) AND RETURN
           USING SELECTION-SET repos-varit
           WITH pnpindex IN objid_ranges
           WITH pnptimed eq ' '
           WITH pnpbegps eq act_begda
           WITH pnpendps eq act_endda
           WITH pnpbegda eq act_begda
           WITH pnpendda eq act_endda
           WITH p_super eq space.
Looks like the standard code is not passing the org unit to the selection screen of the report.
Request you to kindly guide if this is a SAP standard problem or the report is not configured properly ?

Please check steps as mentioned here
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=199820849
and report variant, check your evaluation paths if it is being refreshed correctly, click twice to refresh.
check tje note 1431691
When the report is launched from
the portal, the program is reading the table:T77eo for the object
type-'O' , since there are no entries for the object 'O' in the table,
the switch INREL is not set, therefore the structure pchobjid is not
filled while calling the report as shown below. Now I know the
rootcause, but I don;t know the reason behind the table: T77EO not
having entries for object "O".
==============================================================
    SUBMIT (fcode_rec-progname)
    USING SELECTION-SET fcode_rec-variant
    AND RETURN
                   WITH pchplvar EQ act_plvar
                   WITH pchotype EQ act_otype
                   WITH pchobjid IN pchobjid
                   WITH pchsobid IN pchsobid
                   WITH pchobeg EQ act_begda
                   WITH pchoend EQ act_endda
                   WITH pchbegda EQ act_begda
                   WITH pchendda EQ act_endda.

Bypassing selection screen in custom reports added to MSS reporting

I have created a custom report (using PNP) in R/3 and added it to the MSS reporting (not Launchpad). Even though the manager is selecting his subordinate employee and clicks report result, he still sees a selection screen which i have defined in the custom report.
When the manager runs a sap standard report RPTABS50, he sees data of the employee only he selects.
How do i bypass the selection screen in the custom ABAP report i have added to the MSS?
Thanks.

Has to take an alternate approach. Picked a standard report by SAP and modified to our requirements.

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,

Hi Chinnu,
The question is better suited to be asked in the BI Platform space.

Customizing MSS reporting selection period dropdown list

We have diffrent ABAP programs that uses the PNP logical database and we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the MSS reporting iview. In same scenarios we want to display only 'Today'. In these scenarios we use the report together with a variant.
When the user execute the report, the selection period on the variant is used and that is 100% correct. The problem is that the user change the selection period on the frontend (on the Iview) and this is not what is reflected on the output of the report, becasue the report uses a variant.
Therefore we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the Iviewin the scenarios where a report uses a variant.
I know that we cannot customize the perido selction on the Iview, beacue we cannot set the properties on the Iview.
Is anybody familiar with how we can accomplish this.

Hi Darren,
We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

MSS - reporting - selection criteria - translation

Hi
The selection criteria iView
( com.sap.pct.hcm.rpt_objectselection )
has two drop down lists fields:
1) reporting period
2) limitation (all employees, directly subordinate
employees etc)
I need to translate them to french.
If I inlcude the iView in my translation list I see
the reporting period object as:
Selection period values
(0=today, 1=current year, 2=current month,
3=all, 4=past, 5=future, 6=key date, 7=other period)
which I can translate without problem.
but i do not see the object for the limitation.
Any help appreciated.
Thanx
Paul

Paul,
I think you need to do them in R/3. Lok at table V_TWPC_V & V_TWPC_VC (customer view of V_TWPC_V) this is where codes for All Employees etc and the texts are held.
thanks,
Paul
