UIElements for Standard ESS

Hi WebDyn Pro's,
I am implementing standard Employee Self Services--along with custom functionality, and I want to make my custom development look similar to what SAP delivers.
Is there sample WebDynpro UIElement layout/code available demonstrating how SAP provides links to portal tabs on the ESS Overview page? SAP's design is image on left, Link and Link Description on right (See diagram below)?
I suspect that SAP used a theme for this as well. Any possibility of getting these CSS files?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hey Kevin,
Please look at
Portal Framework Pages for defining the layouts:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a6/1c67161be54bc19cfa86e187819fbe/content.htm
Creation of themes for modifying stylesheets etc:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/0e2bb6955111d5b57d006094b9451c/content.htm
Instructions as to how to create save upload transport themes are mentioned here.
Regarding SAP's Employee Self Service development look, they employ a big team of UI Designers who work on exclusively designing look and feel which most companies can not afford. But the above links can give some good direction as to where we can start.
Cheers
Sumit.

No preview button or option for all ESS MSS iViews under portal content

Hi All,
We are doing a green field implementation for one of our clients, we have installed ECC 6.0 with EHP5 in R/3 system and SAP Netweaver Portal 7.02 with SP8. We have also deployed suitable ESS MSS business components from service market place.
BP_ERP5ESS 1.41
BPERPESSWDA 1.50
BP_ERP5MSS 1.51
As it is EHP5 in ECC all the Homepage framework, Areas, Sub areas, services are preconfigured for standard ESS MSS business areas.
In Portal side under Portal content - Content Provided by SAP - End User Content - Employee Self Services -
we are not able to preview any of the iViews. can anyone suggest whether what may be wrong...?

Hi Sandeep,
1. Yes we are accessing portal through FQDN
2. IE 6.0
3. I mentioned above, its SAP Netweaver 7.02 with SP8
4. Yes, the user I am using has Super Administrator role
5. There are roles for ESS in ECC
This problem of preview is for other iViews also. I mean other than ESS MSS iViews.
Thanks,
Kalam.

Standard ESS iViews for ECM module

Hi,
Regarding the compensation management module, there are several standard ESS iViews delivered by SAP:
For instance the "<i>Displaying a Total Compensation Statement</i>" in Business Package for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004).
As we are setting up Enterprise Compensation Management, I would like to know whether these iViews will also be delivered for ECM. I have checked all Business Package documentation but did not find any standard ESS iViews for ECM.
For MSS, I have found the MSS_60_1_EN.pdf documentation which contains a lot of MSS ECM information. No ESS info unfortunately.
Thanks in advance.
MvdM

The TCS iView is only part of ESS BP and basically uses the ess/rem DC to generate the report framework that shows the output as Adobe PDF. The TCS itself is implemented in the backend with the form builder (/hrforms) - same approach as salary statement. Employees can view their salary statemetn or TCS. In ECM you have managers working with employee data and normally you don't want to display managers this type of information of their employees - but that depends off cause on your requirements. It is not too difficult to build a custom TCS service for managers and integrate it with ECM.

How to allow modification of Country key in standard ESS "Adress" Iview ?

Dear all,
In the standard ESS Personal Information Iview and especially "Adress" Iview, the COUNTRY drop down list can't be modified, modification is deactivated, Country drop down list isn't accessible. But I need to let people select their country when they indicate a new adress (emergency, foreign adress, secondary adress...).
In SPRO>ESS>Personal data/information -->I use country 06, infotype 0006, application case 1 permanent residence.
I tried the CTRL+right click method but I can't activate the country "modification" (no button to solve my issue).
I looked at the below thread but I do want to know if there's really no standard way to allow people to modify that usual field?
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=profile&title=ESSPersonalInformationUIenhancementwithoutmodification&decorator=printable
Many thanks by advance for your advices!

Blandine Landais

Many thanks for your answer!
I've tested it on another system (EHP3 this time) and you need, indeed, to activate business functions (new releases of EHP) in the customizing to allow editing of other country forms. The address iview is a new one too, so no way on an ECC6.0. We tried to search a solution within the abap way but it would generate such a big specific development that I'm not sure we will implement it..
Thanks again for your helpful answer.

Hi Dharani,
Have a look at my weblog,
For your 1st Question:
"How to do the modification in certain ESS/MSS standard iviews? using your local machine NWDS?" -
1.After you configured your track for ESS/MSS business package in NWDI try importing the track in NWDI by configuring NWDI server in NWDS, goto Windowsàpreferences-Java Development Infrastructure-Development Configuration
and specify the URL where you have configured your NWDI
2. create a project for the views which you want to modify.
3. Checkout and create a new activity for the DC
4. Make the changes as per your requirement
5. Checkin the activty once you are done with the changes
6.Activate and release
These are all the steps involved in customization of any business package.
Mail me back if you have any doubts.
Hope this helps,

Make sure the FITE* and FITV* services are activated in transaction "SICF" under the path: default_host --> sap --> bc --> webdynpro --> sap.

I have a requirement that i need to add some custom(Input ) fields in 'Create Travel Request' view of travel and Expense Page of standard ESS . now the same field was needed in back-end in ECC in t-code TRIP...this i did using append structure in PTK99 and and modifying standard program and screen SAPMP56T 9999 with the guidelines given in SPRO.
now the same thing is to be done in in ESS which is ABAP WD application. WD component name is FITV_FPM, but in this application contains viewContainerUIElements on LAYOUT_VIEW which gets populated dynamically..I can create and Enahancement of this application and put the required field on the view but still after doing this, how to store the these data in back-end??? in back-end this data is stored in PCL1 cluster..
I feel SAP should have given some facility for this in ESS like it has given in ECC...

Customizing standard ESS component using WebDynproJava.

Hi All,
I am a WebDynpro Java developer. I am new to ESS . My requirement is to customize the Open Enrollment (need to add a pop-up window to the existing Open enrollment flow). Our Portal version is NW 7.0 EPH!1 and NWDS version is NW 7.0.
Please let me know what all i need to know to customize the standard ESS component and also suggest any document that shows the step by step process starting from NWDI till deploying the customized component in NWDS.

Hi,
there you go:
1. once you need to know how to work with NWDI:

(you can also find the link here to NWDS)
2. You need to know how to deal with ESS development, here you go, see the guide inside the following note
#872892 - JDI/NWDI Cookbook for ESS/XSS (http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/872892)
Here you'll find an attachment NWDI.zip, and that includes as PDF file which I kindly ask you to read very carefully even multiple times if necessary.
Let me know if you need other guides, but I believe this is a plenty of material, but this should be a nice starting point.

I have a problem with Transport the personalization of standard ess compone

I have a problem with Transport the personalization of standard ess component.
My problem is in several components, such as:
portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/
com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/
com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_personal_information/persinfo_es/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.13.pdata
I have personalized this page (into rol, not directly in the page), with Ctrl+Right button.
Now i transport the rol, from Development to Quality environment, but i don't see the changes in Quality.
My system is NW 7.01 SP7, Can be that the problem?
Any idea to solve this problem?

First please see note 1234273 which details how best to personalize
for all users.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/ed3ce7f8593eebe10000000
a1553f7/frameset.htm
Here you can read:
"If an iView is transported to another portal all these properties are
also transported. This is needed to make sure that role-specific changes
could be transported together with the role. End user personalization
data is NOT transported in this way as end user personalization is only
local to the current portal."
Could you please ensure that personalization was done by an admin user?
I'm afraid that if it was done by an end user, personalization isn´t
transported as it's explained in the documentation provided.
Could you please confirm whether you are using exactly the same language
to access to both systems, development and quality? Maybe you are using
language en(us) in one system and en(gb) in the other one. Please take
into account that personalization is language specific.
From the web dynpro end, the WebDynpro personalization is stored
NOT in the PCD prior to 710 release. And as such it cannot be included
in a portal role transport. This feature is available with NW 7.10 SP2
or later (from webdynpro point stand). The best option is to
go with NW 7.30 as this is the first NetWeaver release with EP since
NW 7.02.

Urgent: Need screenshots from standard ESS on EP 6.0

Dear all,
hopefully someone can help me with that urgent request:
For an internal presentation, I need 5 to 10 screenshots from standard ESS functions, based on the Enterprise Portal 6.0 (e.g. Login screen, submit leave request in time management, business travel and display of pay slip).
As we had a severe hardware crash, I cannot create such screenshots on my own, but the presentation is very important and cannot be rescheduled. I did not find any screenshots in the SAP marketplace or elsewhere. Any help is very appreciated (and of course rewarded)!!
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Gurus,
I am in the same state as michael at present. Can you please forward the screen shots to me. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
