GP Configuration on ESS/MSS

Hi friends,
I have configured the ESS/MSS Business package on my portal(EP7/SP12). I have used the following BP_ERP5ESS (1.0 SP9), BP_ERP5MSS (1.0 SP9), SAP_MSS(00 SP9) , SAP_ESS(00 SP9), SAPPCUI_GP(600 SP9).
The Configuration guide suggests that for GP templates the <b>essuslwegp</b> DC should be present on the portal. In an article on Wiki, it is said that the DC is deployed when the Business Packages are deployed. But in my case the DC is not present. Do i have to install it separately and if yes, then from where.
Regards,
Prathamesh

Hi,
LWE sample processes that is the essuslwegp comes with the ESS Applications SCA file and not with the business packages. Please deploy the ESS .SCA file to get the LWE processes.
I see that you have deployed the SAP ESS .SCA also. That means essuslwegp is already available. Can i know where you are trying to see the DC?

System configuration for ESS/MSS Implementation

Hi,
I am stuck while configuring the systems for XSS configuration. I have completed following:
1) Installed Portal 7.00 (based on NW2004s) which uses the backend ERP2005 system as a User Master source.
2) Implemented the business packages for ESS 1.0 (SP6), MSS 1.0 (SP6) and SAPPCUI_GP 600 (SP6).
3) Configured the SLD ( we have SLD running on a separate XI system)
4) Configured JCO destinations (tested ok).
5) Configured Systems for Portal and the ERP systems with system aliases.
    For Portal System:   I have only configured the WAS properties (i.e. hostname, path and protocol).and User management (using UDIPW as the logon method)
The system alias is SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
    For ERP System: I have configured connection, user management and W.A.S. properties. The system aliase is SAP_ECC_HumanResources
However, when I perform the connection tests for both systems, they both fail for "Connection Test for connectors" test. It gives the message "Connection failed. Make sure the user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Kristoffer,
I have tried as per your suggestion but it still gives an error.
The connector properties for my ERP system are as below:
Application Host : C1BL1 (also included the domain)
Gateway Host   : C1BL1
Gateway Service : sapgw00
Logical System Name   : ER1CLNT210
Remote Host Type - 3
SAP Client   : 210
SAP System ID (SID) : ER1
SAP System Number : 00
Server Port : 3200
System Type - SAP_R3
System aliases for ERP system are:
SAP_ECC_HumanResources and SAP_R3_Financials.
I have not maintained any W.A.S. properties for this system.
For my Portal system: WAS properties are:
Web AS Description : EP_Portal
Web AS Host Name : C1BL3:50100
Web AS Path   : /webdynpro/dispatcher/
Web AS Protocol - http
I had not maintained the connector properties for this system before, but I have now maintained as following:
Application Host : C1BL1 (also included the domain)
Logical System Name   : ER1CLNT210
Remote Host Type - 3
SAP Client   : 210
SAP System ID (SID) : ER1
SAP System Number : 00
Server Port : 3200
System Type - SAP_R3
The system alias for EP is: SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
In the UME configuration --> User mappings, I am using SAP_ECC_HumanResources system as the reference system.
Please let me know if you need more info.

Nilesh

Configuration of ESS and MSS in Portal for HCM

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. ...

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

I know the stpes to debugging simple workflow and trouble shooting the same, but now
I want to know the debuggibg workflow steps for workflow running with ESS/MSS module Framework,

Hi James
In ESS/MSS leave request the employee will apply the leave from portal and the workflow will triggered based on the spro which workflow template is used. Has you said that updation my custom cone. What is meant by that. Has as has i know we need to update the infotype 2001. This can be done by std FM.
To degbug.
In the put a external break point of the std FM which screen it call. I hope its called the webdypro java screen which nothing but a std FM. You need to find that FM. Then put a external breakpoint. change the user name from goto menu. Once you approve button is clicked in the portal. The debugger will open.

Linkage between ESS/MSS Resource Server -- Resource Object in ERP 2004

Dear all,
I have a question about settings in the backend configuration of ESS/MSS:
In the IMG activitiy, you define Resource Servers. And then you can choose a specific server for a Resource Object. Though, when I look into an already setup ESS/MSS-solution at customer site, I cannot find that any of the resource objects in use have a specific server entered - only relative paths.
How does this work then? How does the system know where (on which portal system) to find a specific portal page/image object that a resource object links to? Is there a 'default' resource server used?
Your help is much appreciated!

Hi Prakash
This is the end of the dev_jrfc.trc from the abap/j2ee webdynpro server:
Error file opened at 20050608 101523 British Summer Time Rel 6.40
Error> occured >Wed Jun 08 10:15:23,406< >RfcGetException rc (7) message: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received
<RfcGetException

<RfcGetException
The portal dev_jrfc.trc does not report any errors.
Other information I should have mentioned: EP uses LDAP for user directory, the ABAP system uses its own user management, the J2EE on the ABAP server uses its own user management. The user I am testing with is the same name in all 3 systems and has full admin permissions in each.

What is ESS
Employee Self-Service or ESS is a web-based solution designed to automate many of the repetitive tasks of the HR function
by allowing employees direct access to HR information and services. The basic idea of ESS is that employees are empowered to be responsible for their own personal information.
Benefits:-
One of the major reason for organizations implementing ESS is that it allows HR professionals to spend less time in administrative tasks like paper filing,
attendance monitoring etc and more time dealing with more complex and strategic HR issues.
The Gartner Group had estimated that 40 percent of traditional HR activities were handled by ESS in the year 2000 and this can only increase over time.
You can learn about ESS and its features and also Business Package details from:-

Language specific settings for ESS/MSS

Hello Experts,
I got a question on language specific settings on the portal:
1) Suppose i have configured my ESS/MSS BP and my settings are in English language. Now when i logged in to the portal and click, it is opened in English language only, but when i click on Leave Request page, this particular page is opened in some other language (i mean other than English), so what might be the problem and where are the settings needs to be done if i encounter these kind of errors.
Cheers
Vijay

Hi Vijay
There are so many things that could affect language here is the ones I am aware of
1) IE locale
2) JCO language setting
3) Forced Language in Iview itself
4) Missing translations in the translation cycle
5) Java Dictionary bugs see 1082994
6) WD JAVA runtime bugs see 1265969
Best wishes
