Role Menu for ESS (WDA) in SAP NWBC

Dear experts,
I am implementing ESS&MSS using SAP NWBC. For this use the following documentation:
Configuration of the Role Menu for ESS (WDA) in SAP NWBC - SAP Documentation
SAP delivers the composite role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_2.
1. Call up transaction PFCG and create or copy your customer-specific role based on the standard shipped composite role for ESS (WDA), SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_2 in the customer name space (Z_*.
I have copied this role with the singles roles
My first question: Should modify my composite role for add a new folder that content two applications WDA customer or this should do it in the single role ? How Can do it?
My second question:
What I dont can display the folder in top screen "Employee Self-Service"---"Employee Self-Service XX"---"Employee Self-Service2"(See Image leff)
Thanks

Hi Armin,
For NWBC you must place transactions under the second folder down (or at least this is how its works for NWBC for ERP roles). Standard NWBC roles have 'Role menu' as top folder and then (generally) one main folder under that - like 'Purchasing'. Transactions should go under this folder or under subsequent sub-folder.
There are additional parameters using right click 'Details for Net Weaver Business Client' under PFCG also - but assume your documentation has explained this to you.
Regards,
Craig

  • Internal and External different set of menu for ESS

    Hi
    We have 2 portal server - Internal and External. The Portal are being used not.
    We are planning to implement ESS now in Portal. We are planning to provide two different set of options when the same user access internally and externally.
    For example, User XYZ access internally he will get menus ABCDE but the same user access from external he only gets manu AB.
    If anyone has implemented with similar concepts or know how to do it technically, kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Yuva

    Let us assume we have 3 internal groups :
    internalGroup_1 -> Role A, Role B
    internalGroup_2 -> Role C, Role D,
    internalGroup_3 -> Role E,
    and 2 external group :
    externalGroup_1 -> Role A,
    externalGroup_2 -> Role B,
    We add similar user under a group. and then roles are assigned to groups. in above example Role A , Role B is assigned to internalGroup_1.
    We can have a single user id in which is attached to interalGroup_1, interalGroup_2, interalGroup_3 , externalGroup_1and interalGroup_2.
    When user logon to Internal portal he will see role A, B,C,D and E
    and when user logon to internal  poral he will see role A,B.
    provided A,B,C,D,E roles should exist in internal protal and role A,B exist in External portal. You can use transport roles from external portal to internal portal.

  • Role composition for ESS to display only own data.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to compose a role for Employee Self Service for employees to display their payroll, but i couldn't manage to structure it to display only their own personnel data. I had to put the personnel area in P_ORGIN however in that case they become authorised to display all employees' data in that personnel area. Can i use P_PERNR object for this operation? Please advise.
    Regards,
    Sezin

    You can give I in PSIGN field for the infotypes that you want to 'Include' for an employee, and E in PSIGN field for the infotypes that you want to 'Exclude' for an employee.
    Whether those Infotypes will be Read or Maintain will be dependent on the value in the AUTHC field.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error on role import for SAP integration with BO in CMC (3.1)

    Hello,
    We are trying to integrate existing BO environment in our company with existing BW installation.
    BO Environment - 3.1
    BW/ECC Environment - (BW - BI 7.0 SP20, ECC 6.0)
    So got the pre-requisites completed and the transports imported into both BW and ECC environments. Upon these steps we went ahead and installed the integration kit for 3.1 system.
    There were no error messages, after we completed the installation went into infoview and in the authentication drop down checked to see if I can get "SAP" in there....which it did. So, I am assuming there were no issues till this point which we might have missed out.
    Upon this, when I went into SAP authentication in CMC and double clicked on SAP and in the next screen clicked on "NEW" and added in the application server, system number, id and password and updated it...this automatically updated the logical system.
    But when I go into the role import, it gives me the following error message....
    Exception in JSP: /jsp/auth/sapsec_import_role.jsp:22:19:20: <%21:string context::secSAPR3ImportRoleBean.getContextPath():22: secSAPR3ImportRoleBean.init(request):23:response.setHeader("Expires","0"):24: 5> Stacktrace:
    The only thing is we have not assigned the CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT role to it as we are at this point only trying to see if we can log into webi...
    So, is it required to assign this role to an existing user id role in order for me to import the roles into BO CMC screen in order to be assigned to a group.
    Can you please help me out on this.
    Thanks
    Dharma.

    Hello Ingo,
    Thanks a lot for looking into the question.
    Yes, we are taking about the SAP Authentication part where I am trying to import roles in SAP into BO after I provide the login information in the Entitlement systems tab.
    I confirmed that all parts of Java Connector configuration were taken care of as mentioned in the installation manual and from your blog.
    The only piece left off is the CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT role assignment to the id which is used within the entitlement systems tab in CMC. I will get this configured and try it one more time.
    Just to confirm,
    1. The new user id to be created (should it be a RFC user or dialog user)
    2. Is the only role to be assigned to the new user is CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT with the authorization mentioned in the installation manual
    3. What are the roles to be imported into BO within CMC (are these the roles which we want for data access)
    4. When a user tries to login with any other user id other than the one listed in Entitlement systems tab, does it use the roles assigned to that person in SAP to retrieve the data or would it be dependent on the roles imported into BO within CMC in earlier step.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Dharma.

  • How to deactivate the "left top corner SAP menu" for a particular screen

    Hello Friends..
    We have a requirement to implement a "Non Disclosure Agreement(NDA)" for one of our SAP systems. NDA screen will have 2 buttons, "I agree" and "I disagree" which pops up when you log in to the system(after filling up our user id and password and hit enter). If we click on "I agree", it will allow you to continue with the log in and takes you to sap easy access screen. If we click on "I disagree", then session will be terminated.
    But, the NDA window which is being popped up is also a SAP screen which has SAP menu on top left corner. Without clicking on "I agree" or "I disagree" and if we try to select "Create session" option in SAP menu on top left corner, then it is taking us inside SAP(sap easy access screen) by bypassing the buttons.
    Request your help on how to deactivate the "left top corner SAP menu" for this particular NDA screen. (SAP menu to be available with other screens and it should not be available just for the window which is being popped up after log in and before SAP easy access)
    Many Thanks in advance..
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay,
    Try this if it works -
    in your first screen for the NDA screen, on the memnu bar select - EXTRAS - SETTINGS - Select the check box 'Do not display menu, only display favourites'.
    on calling the next screen , disable this option in the PBO of the screen.
    Try and let me know if it works.
    Thanks & Regards, Swapnil Mishra

  • Backend roles neeed for user to access ESS related services

    Dear Experts-
    Can any one of you please point me to a document or let me know what exact role need to be assigned for a user on backend for him to access all ESS related services in Standard deployment.

    read the note 857431
    1129412   ESS: Authorizations and roles for WD services in ERP EHP3
    844639    MSS: Authorizations and roles for WD services in ERP 2005
    785345    Copying authorization default values for services
    612585    New: Authorization default values for ext. services
    The following roles were delivered for ESS with ERP 2005:
    SAP_ESSUSER_ERP05: Single role, containing all non-country-specific
                        functions.
    SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP05_xx:   Single role with the country-specific
                              functions. Each country version has its own
                              role (with xx = country ID). The corresponding

  • System Landscape settings for EP connecting to SAP Webdisp to ess/mss

    We have external facing portal . for reverse proxy we are using sap webdispatcher.
    sapwebdispatcher->ep->sapwebdispatcher--->HCM(ess/mss)
    EP connects to HCM(ess/mss) via sap webdispatcher.
    What should be my system landscape defination in Portal and JCo destinations for webdynpro where ep and webdynpro is connecting to backend(ess/mss) via sap webdispatcher.
    My guess is instead of message server I should point to sap webdispatcher url then what should be my port for connectors,ITS settings and WebAS settings in system landscape.
    Thanks very much in advance for your help.

    Something like that, with Firewalls and additional web dispatcher for external access to HCM:
    FW                   FW
    FW sapwebdispatcher1-FW-->ep--->sapwebdispatcher3--->HCM(ess/mss)
    FW                   FW            ^
    FW                   FW            |
    FW sapwebdispatcher2-FW----------->|
    FW                   FW
    The reason is that EP iview with ITS content requires browser to have direct visibility of ITS backend. You can see it if you trace HTTP requests.
    Regarding system definition in PCD:
    Michael is correct about Connector part - you can do direct HCM.
    The more important issue is what you will put in "ITS Connection" (and SAP Web AS Connection). It is important to put public hotname/URL of sapwebdispatcher2, otherwise external web browser will have issues.
    Another thing: no protocol mix for external URLs. If your EP is accessed via HTTPS, you will have to put HTTPS in ITS connector definition. Otherwise users will see browser warnings. You can do SSL termination on web dispatchers if you want and use HTTP from DMZ web dispatchers, but definition of external URLs should be protocol consistent.

  • ESS(WDA) in EP - ESS page opening, but individual service is not opening

    Hi all,
    we are using EP for hosting the ESS (WDA) services.
    We are using the standard role 'Employee Self Services'.
    in the iView, we can see the application is HRESS_A_MENU and the configuration name is HRESS_AC_MENU
    In EP, when we click on the Employee Self Services role, the main page is opening properly.
    but when we click on individual service, like personal profile, it is not opening in new or same window. It basically does nothing.
    when we check the ESS services, on ECC directly, it is opening the main page properly with below url.
    http://eccserver:nnnn/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hress_a_menu?sap-language=EN&sap-wd-configId=HRESS_AC_MENU
    it is opening the Employee Services page. when we click on the individual services, e.g. Personal profile, it is opening properly in new window.
    http://eccserver:nnnn/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hress_a_persinfo?sap-wd-configid=HRESS_AC_PERSINFO&sap-accessibility=
    in EP, what do we need to additionally to get the individual service to open properly.
    thanks in advance,
    Madhu_1980

    thanks for your inputs.
    finally after doing following things it worked.
    accessed both EP and ECC using FQDN, not by using IP.
    made sure both EP and ECC in same security zone. (https in our case)
    applied the BP ERP common roles, set permission to every_user group.
    created additional aliases for the system object:
    SAP_HCM_PROXY
    SAP_LocalSystem
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources
    logically i understood the purpose of alias SAP_ECC_HumanResources, but could not understand the need for adding SAP_HCM_PROXY and SAP_LocalSystem aliases for the same system object.

  • Regarding ESS MSS in sap hr

    Dear Experts,
    The client has Indian Payroll and Organization Management implemented in R/3.Now the client wants to go for ESS and MSS module.I am new to the ESS MSS module.As a demo I have asked to configure it in IDES.Beofre configuring it in IDES does EP consultant have any role in that.Please tell me what role does EP consultant have and in which phases?. What are the dependencies of SAP HR consultant on EP consultant and ABAP Consultant
    Also to start my configuration in ESS MSS please guide me from where to begin with.In case if u have any configuration documents,Please share. Does the SAP Press book on ESS MSS helps?. Where can I find relevant material for this configuration.
    Thanks In advance

    Hi,
    Yes, EP consultant and ABAP consultant require for bit configuration.
    SAP Press book will help upto certain but I would suggest refer SCN document to configure ESS and MSS.
    Initial steps briefly:
    1. Activate the business functions ( HCM_ESS_WDA_1 and HCM_MSS_WDA_1 if EhP5 using t code - SFW5.
    2. Active the services ( Called as application) using T Code SICF. Here, EP consultant may require. But you can also do the same.
    3. View the standard application (services) using test service option.
    4. If you want to use Launch pad then configure ESS Role using LPD_CUST.
    5. Copy standard ESS menu to ZESS and assign to application HR*ESS*MENU using SE80.
    Here, you will require ABAPer.
    6. Assign Portal ESS and MSS role to user.
    7. Also assign SAP*ESS*EMPLOYEE role to ECC user using SU01/PFCG.
    This are the major steps to start basic ESS and MSS application. Further you have to configure application configuration.
    Hope this will help. Please let me know further details required.
    Thanks,
    Ketul

    is there any possibility to show IBO_WDA_INBOX  work items in ESS. i have a requirement to show Work Items in my ess menu. I added this WebDyn app and its configuration in my ess menu but when i click on items for approval it returns following error:
    is it any way to show WORK ITEMS for ess?
    regards,
    ALI.

    Hi Siddharth
    You are, i was trying to avoid creating a new menu tab (like Manger Self-service) and combine ESS and MSS menu, but after a lot of challenge i found POWL INBOX is not gonna work in ess other than i add MSS role to my user which consequently added MSS menu.
    At the end i created a new Z copy of MSS and just like what you said customize it for my requirement. It seems like without MSS menu we can not run such application with OBN authorization of MSS. This is not what i claim for testing purpose i added MSS role to my user and just hide it from NWBC but again in ESS menu i was able to access inbox but when i click on HCM links i received same error message.
    Case closed by creating a cutome role in PFCG with MSS access.
    Thank you all for helpful information.
