Portal Permission on ESS and MSS

Folks,
I am having an perssion issue on Portal ESS MSS . When I give user superadmin role and administrator group then only ESS and MSS iViews works else I get error like this
Read of object with ID portal_content/com.sap.pct/srvconfig/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.mss/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.ato/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.fpmapplications/com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.attendanceoverview failed.
I have given end user permission on Portal Content Folder. What else can I do to fix this issue ?
Thanks

Hi
In addition to end user permission ,give Read Access to srvconfig, line_manager and Employes-Self-Service Folders.
Thats all what is required.

Hello Friend's,
        This is suresh calling for clarifications and doubts in HCM...   see i'm new to portal, but my requirement is to configure ESS and MSS for HCM... i dont know actually wat needs to be done and the way of approach... these are the doubts,
1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
3.   a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether    i need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
     b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
I dont know basic steps .... plz help me ... Thanks i advance...........!

Ok. Here are the answers:
1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
   > Download ESS/MSS Business Package, it has two parts Business Package for ERP 2005 (Contains iviews, Roles etc) and XSS 5.0 or 6.0 depending upon the version of the ECC.
> Make sure that you have SAP_HR and EA_HR component installed on your ECC box.
> Also make sure that there is no compatibility mismatch between version of SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS.
> Configure the JCo Destinations, create required system definition and establish SSO between ECC and Portal.
> Assign the role to the users
> After doing these steps you can see the SAP provided iviews etc working PROVIDED configuration on HR side are already done. (This is just to get initial configuration work)
2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
> Provided by Bala above
3. a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether i need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
> Look for that application in WebDynpro (identify the component from iView properties) and show it to the client.
If they are Ok with the basic things then fine else they need to specify the kind of customisation they want in this component
Options available if we need to modify the components
>>Copy the component in your namespace and do the modification using NWDINWDS
>>If some field need to be disabled, you can do the same using Self service administration.
b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
Hope this helps. ...

Changing ESS and MSS Pictogram

I am trying to changing the standard icons that came with ESS and MSS business package with custom icons.
I have places my custom icons - using SE80 and going to MIME repository and saved it there.
But when I go to SPRO and go for the Homepage Framework - they do not show up in the list?
Please advice.

You need to assign this your resource

BP ESS and MSS

Hello,
I have SAP ERP 6.0 and portal 7.0 with ESS and MSS versión 1.0. We need to update to the versión 1.41 but in this link says that is required the EHP4 in the ERP. Is that true do we have to upgrade the ERP first?
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/76/77594d165144a1a9bff9aae1e26b26/frameset.htm
Please help me with this.
Regards

Just to note ---> In WD ABAP there is still dependanices between software components for example BP HRA 1.11 is WD ABAP - there is still key dependancies between BP HRA, SAP_HR, EA_HR and SAP_BASIS
Also moving to 1.4 is considered a move to EHP4 - which means moving ECC to EHP4 as well - however this applies evern for current WD ABAP products - for example if you want BP HRA 1.41 (WD ABAP) you will also need EHP4 in the back-end (as per note 1375308) so the architecture is very similiar
Whether EHP5 changes all this is not yet clear
Best wishes

Versions of ESS and MSS business packages

I have just installed EP6.0 SP2 on J2EE 6.2. I have R/3 systems 4.6C and 4.7. Which versions of the iviewstudio business packages for ESS and MSS should I install?

Gary,
If you have access to sdn, you can check the Portal Content Portfolio (from SDN home), --> Search Content Portfolio (on right pane/nav) and you will get the People Centric Search screen.
Within the search criteria's you can choose by selecting Business Package, or globally search by EP 6.0.

ESS and MSS on EP6.0 SP9

Hi,
I have problems with ESS and MSS iViews on EP6.0 SP9.
I have imported business packages for ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1.4 into EP6.0 SP9 on NW04 with ITS 6.20. The connection to the R/3 4.6C is created with SSO based on logontickets. I created relevant aliases, e.g., SAP_R3_HumanResources, SAP_R3_Cross. The connection works when I test it in the Support function on the Portal and few ESS iviews, e.g. Address.
After import of business packages both Portal-server and ITS have been restarted.
I have customised CATS in R/3 and created CVR parameter for the user.
Unfortunatelly most of the ESS and MSS iViews dont work. E.g. Recording Working Times iview comes with different errors depending on the iview type.
RWT based on ITS comes with the error message: Cannot start transaction. The ITS couldnt start transaction MA_CA_TSHEET because of the following error: MA_CA_TSHEET is unknown.
RWT Java-based iViews: "[Method getCatsData] java.lang.Exception: SAP_R3_Cross: No connection to SAP R/3 system; check user name and connection."
Both user name and connection works if using Support function.
RWT IAC based iView: I can get through to the SAP CATS, but the screen doesnt look like CATS registration profile and is useless.
Is there anybody that have seen similar errors and have solution ideas?
Thanks,
Beata

Performance in ESS and MSS

Dear Expert,
Is there any specific performance recommendations for ESS/MSS content being accessed over WAN.
Best Regards,
Deepak..

There are no specific performance recommendations for ESS and MSS itself.
Since the source code is already delivered by SAP, we can assume that the coding has been done keeping performance in mind.
The only suggestion I can make here is try to make your portal landing page a simple html file which would not require a backend call. This will improve the time taken for the initial portal landing page to load.
The standard homepage framework based ESS and MSS landing pages need to make a backend call for loading the landing page also.
You can look at the general recommendations to improve portal performance and your network performance.
I believe you can find tons of information on improving portal performance tuning here on SDN.
Thanks,
Shanti

ESS and MSS

Can anyone tell me whether a SAP portal is a prerequisite to using ESS and MSS i.e. would it be possible to configure your R/3 HR systems and ITS and then run ESS and MSS via links on a webpage e.g. an intranet site?

Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

Hi Experts,
This is the first time I am going to deal with
ESS and MSS.
I have some basic questions about it and they are
listed below:
1. In an organization if they want to integrate
ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
is, will they install the packages in the R/3
system and then use the to portal features to
make iViews of ESS and MSS.
2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
and the R/3 system
3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
MSS applications, if yes how?
4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
Please do let me know on these subjects and also
if anyone of you have any links or documents
associated with this scenario please do send me.
Thank you
Regards
Luke

Hi,
here is what I know..
1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.
ent
4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
You can find all the different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.
