Do we need to install SAP Portal for implementation of ESS & MSS

Hi All,
We are implementing SAP (ECC 6.0) for one of our client, Due to some contractual limitations, we do not want to implement SAP portal though it is a part of standard delivery, I want to know that is it absolutely necessary to install and implement SAP portal for implementation of ESS & MSS.
What i know and understand is that with the new architecture ESS & MSS can be deployed and accessed as a stand alone application on an internet browser by (Web dynpro client) without any need of enterprise portal. While ESS & MSS application can be hosted on Web application server.
Please validate my understanding if it is correct, Also does the new Web dynpro based client support all the functionality and authorization related issues for ESS & MSS ??
Regards
Amit Ajmera

Hi Amit,
Yes, you can run ESS/MSS as WebDynpro application without having to deploy on Portal. However, the look and feel and user accessibility is much better when deployed as Portal page. For WebDynpro, you will still need to publish the individual URL link to application somewhere...
Another point is that on portal you can deploy standard Business package specific to ESS and MSS which contains lots of readymade iviews/page/roles etc so it can reduce your development cost dramatically.
But, at the end it all depends on your individual requirement and project scope.
Cheers !!
Satya.

Multiple backend systems for business package ESS/MSS

Hi,
I would like to know whether there is a smart solution for connecting the business package ESS/MSS with multiple backend systems (up to 10 systems).
I am aware of the possibility using parameter "sap-wd-arfc-useSys", but this implies, that content needs to be duplicated n-times in order to be able to maintain the Jco destination suffix.
Any hint, also for custom built solutions are very welcome!
Best regards,

ICONS Not Showing Up on ESS/MSS pages

Hi All,
I'm Setting UP ESS / MSS on EP 6.0 SP9 with ERP2004 on the backend. The basic pages for ESS/MSS are displaying ok in the portal, but none of the icons for the menus are displayed. I checked the portal server, and all the images are there, but they are not located in the directories indicated by the URL's show in the properties of the ESS page.
Example: here is the URL of an image as captured from the properties on the portal page.
http://ipaddress.com:50000/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/Components/com.sap.xss.ser.xssmenu.vc.areagroup.VcXssMenuAreaGroup/money.gif
Here is where I actually found the images on the server (in 2 locations)
D:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\global\config\cm\etc\public\mimes\images\pictograms
and
D:\usr\sap\DEV\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.portal.navigation.mimeservice\images
Any idea why the URL points to a different location? Any why are the images stored twice?
Thanks,
-Matt

Is anyone having a similiar issue with images not displaying in the portal for ESS/MSS for ERP2004? I can go into the IMG and change the text associated with the Area pages. I have defined a server for the resources, and attempted to put in a URL directly to the image file, but no luck getting any images to display on the pages.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Matt

I have specific authorizations in the backend too
The overview page of both ESS & MSS are opening, area page is opening properly. this error is displaying only when i click on the services in the area page.
pls tell me how to access these services without this error???
Thanks in advance,

Thanks to both of you for your quick replies.
The user ID in both the portal and backed are same and the same user is existing in the infotype 0105. with start date 1.11.2007 and end date as 31.12.9999
the user ID in portal created on 06.11.2007
when i checked the start date in the backend, it was not mentioned.
So i changed both the backend start date and infotype 0105 date to 09.04.2008 and end date as 31.12.2008.
still i am facing same problem. any help pls

ESS/MSS 1.31 version for download

Hi where can I find the downloads for the version ess/mss 1.3,HR admin 1.1,talent developement,simplified reporting etc.. for NW2004s?
Thanks
KK

You would have to connect to SAP Service Market Place @ http://service.sap.com/swdc and then follow the following path.
In the left hand side go to
SAP Software Distribution Center -> Download -> Support Packages and Patches -> Search for Support Packages and Patches
and then in the RHS
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group -> SAP Application Components -> SAP ERP ->SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE -> SAP ENH PACK 3 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 -> Entry by Component ->Portal Content
Over there you will get
1 - BP ERP05 ESS 1.31
2 - BP ERP05 HR ADMINISTRATOR 1.11
3 - BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS 1.31
4 - BP ERP05 MSS 1.31
And the XSS Components you will get at
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group -> SAP Application Components -> SAP ERP ->SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE -> SAP ENH PACK 3 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 -> Entry by Component ->SAP XSS (Self Services)

What is the exact procedure of upgrading the ESS/MSS

Hi,
We intially started with EP 7.0 sp13 and ESS/MSS version 600 SP10.Later on we upgraded to EP 7.0 SP13 and ESS/MSS to SP13.
we have done lot of customisations to SAP ESS/MSS standard code and we did them again when we upgraded ESS/MSS.
Again we are planning to upgrade Portal to another version .so here my doubts are
1.Is it necessary to upgrade ESS/MSS everytime we upgrade portal(because ESS/MSS version = Portal version - 3 )
2.Do we need to do all the customisations again manually?
3.Is there anyway we can create copy of all the DCs which we want to customise and then do the customisations so that we dont need to redo all the work whenever we upgrade ESS/MSS
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Bala,
Usually, there are 3 (+1 ) types of patches that are done:
1. Kernel and JDK. This one is easy, can be done often. Affects perfomance, but rarely functionality.
2. Netweaver SPS. This one will update basic functionality, but in most cases will not affect ESS. Also can be done every 3 month.
3. ERP SPS. This one will affect ESS. You will be required to go through the cookbook. Backend HR component versions must match EP XSS. It makes sense, because EP XSS will call backend BAPIs and they should be of the same versions. Not very often I see ERP SPS applied every 3 month. One of the reasons is that user UI screens and procedure may change and the cycle of testing and user training rarely fits into 3 month.
+1. EHP, Enancement Packs. This is SAP effort to give a more granular aproach to functional changes. Basically your functional team will decide if it needs a new function and it will be possible to implement and activate it. If it happens that the function is HR and it affects XSS and it brings a new version, then yes, you will need to do XSS merge-update. It will be clear from the EHP docs. How often to do ESS related EHP? See 3. Keep in mind that EHP docs may give an impression that there is no impact until you "turn on" new function, but it is true for ABAP (with some exceptions), less so on the Java side.

How to display ESS/MSS in different NW Portal

Hello Experts,
We are running ESS/MSS on a NW 6.0 portal. Now, we have a requirement to also display this ESS/MSS content on another portal which is running on NW 7.01 (we do not wish to install ESS/MSS on this server).
What is the best way to accomplish this? Could you please give me some advise and links to articles or blogs on the web that has step by step instructions? I searched around, but was unable to find anything related to this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Abu

According to SAP's FPN's prerequisites and Version Interoperability guide
SAP NetWeaver consumer and producer portals should all be running SAP NetWeaver 7.0
SAPNetWeaver '04 is not supported.
Additional details: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/45/76322bf0020dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
In fact there are issues if multiple SPS on NW7 are used (for instace producer is SP09 and consumer is SP11). Note 1005176 talks about patching some of the components to fix the issue.
So, FPN is out of the question. Has anyone done it using the Portals' URL or appIntegrator iView?

ESS/MSS PCR Forms Portal 7

We plan on having a requisition form created which will have a number of fields including position and job information. Once the requisition is approved, then the user can begin completing the new hire form. When they come to the position field on the new hire form, can we default the position number entered on the requisition form? Somehow we need to link the position number with the created requisition.
We were not sure you could pull data from one form to another or if everything has to come from the SAP backend.

ESS/MSS functional

Hi all,
For sometime now I am struggling for an answer.
What does an ESS/MSS functional consultant do! What is the purview of knowledge he needs to have!!
Does he needs to know business packages and roles! Does he needs to know enterprise portal!
If so to what extent in portal!!
Regards,
Bharat

If you are an HR functional consultant then you only need to see what customizations are possible for services being offered in ESS/MSS and how to undergo those changes. Some portal knowledge can be helpful specially on System objects front. Rest only fundamental basics in portal are good enough.
being a functional consultant you need NOT to go for HR290...
It is all for technical people.
You can infact opt for Customization of ESS/MSS business package - HR255

Problems with Integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01

Do we need to have a support portal for each.
We created test users for systems but sometimes we lose the users for no apparrent reasons. Very strange. Please advise and if you have new documentation regarding SAP Portal Authorization it will be helpful.
