Upgrade from ESS 1.0 to ESS 1.2

Dear Experts,
      I have EP 7.0 and ECC 6.0. Now my client wants to install EHP2 on ECC 6.0 for getting some additional features in travel management like attachment which is not there in ESS 1.0. So they have decided to install EHP2 in ECC 6.0 and supporting to this we will be installing ESS 1.2. Currently our system is up and running with all configurations done on both side ECC as well as in EP. I have a doubt if we install ESS 1.2 on our EP 7.0 which has ESS 1.0 will I need to do all the configurations in EP again like defining system, UWL configuration, UME configuration, creating users etc etc.
Please help.

Dear Achim,
      Thanks for your help. I have successfully upgraded my system to BP 1.2. Now ESS users are able to use the webdynpro ABAP screen's specially the Travel Management screen's. I have applied the note 1076144 with uwl_com_sap_pct_erp_mss_tra_12.zip correction for getting the webdynpro ABAP screens to managers for approvals too.
      My ESS user is applying for travel request the managers are able to approve it through UWL. But when ESS user creates a expense for the same request with attachments the managers are not getting the WD ABAP screens, they get error. I tried seeing the trace file it says "An error occured in iView: N/A in component: N/A##".
      Can you thow some light on this??
Regards,
Vaibhav Patil.

  • Upgrade from ESS 60.2 to ESS1.0

    Hello everyone,
    we are running the business package for ESS 60.2 on EP7.0 (backend mySAP ERP 2004).
    We want to upgrade to mySAP ERP 2005. Therefore we want to install the business package for ESS 1.0.
    So far so good.
    <b><u>Question:</u></b>
    What will happen to the existing BP 60.2 after the deployment of the BP ESS 1.0?
    How does this effect the delta links which exist to the standard ESS-Roles and ESS-IViews?
    Can I run both BP 60.2 and BP 1.0 parallelly?
    Thanks for your responses.
    Regards
    Slawomir
    P.S. Write and collect your points!

    I believe that the names of the roles and iviews are all slightly different.  As a test though if you get a portal without your current ess / mss installed and import ESS 1.0 and see where it imports.
    If it helps, it imports into:
    ESS imports into Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Employee Self Service.
    MSS imports into Content Provided by SAP -> line_manager -> Manager Self Service.
    Also required is BP for Common Parts which imports into Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Common Parts ERP.
    So if those folders do not exist, then just import it.
    Your existing 60.2 content will stay there unless you delete it (or is in the above folders).
    Hope that makes sense!

  • ESS/MSS Upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 Question..

    Hi Gurus,
    During the upgrade SAP R/3 would be upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. The HR module on this R/3 has - Org Management, Benefits, Time Administration and Payroll. They use ESS based on ITS. My question is when they go from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 - would they have to let go the ITS based ESS transactions and go with Web Dynpro based ESS? If yes then what happens to all the customizations they have done to ITS based ESS transactions. Would they have to be redone on the Web Dynpro based ESS?
    Thanks,
    Soniya Singh

    yes You need to do different customisations for the Web dynpro since ECC 6 is better with WD, ITS functionality wont work here. Please check the training material for the  MSS which is very exhaustive.
    But if you continue to use ITS then your old customisation should work but then again there will be changes..better to move wholly to WD

  • ESS Upgrade from ITS - Input needed

    Hi,
    A question regarding upgrade of ESS. Has any body upgraded from 4.6C to ECC and with ESS services still running on ITS. I mean not upgrading to web dynpro version and just using the services based on internal ITS. Is it feasible ? If so, what kind of pitfalls, errors can we expect.
    SAP recommends newer webdynpro version. But want to know if the above scenarios are possible.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    It is very possible (I have done it for ECC5 and ECC6 clients that wanted to upgrade first before changing ESS/MSS) but I would advise against it. The newer applications are supported and offer much better functionality (as well as a better "look and feel" in the portal). *If* you decide to go that route, a few things to remember...
    (1) You no longer have a "global" service file with integrated ITS....therefore, for ALL of the services you wish to use, you will have to define ALL of the necessary ITS parameters in the service itself (via t-code SICF).
    (2) Not all ESS ITS services are supported on integrated ITS (you will have to hunt around to find which ones...I know there is a note out there for it).
    (3) You will not find actual ITS services (ie Templates) for all of the services. Some are generated on the fly via the "engine" code that reads the FMs for typical "list-to-detail" services (like addresses, banks, etc). If you have the need to customize these "screens", you will have to generate the ITS service yourself for it and then change the templates accordingly (tedious).
    Again, it "can" be done....and might works as a temporary solution, but I would highly suggest getting onto the newer versions as soon as possible.

  • Upgrading SAP ESS and MSS after HR upgrade in ECC 6.0

    Hello
    I am new to SAP netweaver.
    Our landscape has an ECC 6.0 system integrated with EP 7.0.
    We recently upgraded our SAP HR from 600(SP 48) to 600(SP61) and EA HR component from 603(SP 22) to 603( SP 35).
    After the upgrade we came to know that the portal users are facing some issues with Etime application on portal, i did a bit of searching and found that we have to upgrade SAP ESS, MSS and ERP5COM components. (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOWTOGETRIDOFSPSTACKMISMATCHISSUES)
    My questions are:
    1) Can we directly apply SP's for ESS, MSS and other components as i cannot find any prerequisites required to be met before they have to applied?
    2)If we have ESS SP 04 and the required version is ESS SP07, can we directly apply SP 07 or we have to first apply in a sequence SP05, SP06 and then move to SP07?
    Thanks a lot!
    Varun

    Hello,
    1) If a developer modified the ESS/MSS package, you need to ask the developer before you apply the patches. In this case, you find the "local version is modified" text in the corresponding package.
    2) Java Patches are cumulative, which means that higher Patch contains all corrections of lower Patches.([SAP Note 1249886|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1249886])

    Whenever employee creates a timesheet request.The workitem sent to Manager to approve the timesheet records.But when Manager opens the workitem regarding timesheet approval through ESS ,he see all timesheet records of all employees who are reporting to him.
    But when we open the same workitem through SBWP it shows onli leave records of the employee related with the workitem not all the reportees.We want same functionality through ESS UWL.
    I have checked the configuration related with approval views.
    "Define Profiles and Assign to Views" It seems fine.
    Kindly suggest for the same.

  • New DCs in ESS 600 from ESS 100?

    Hi Friends,
    I was wondering....
    we are upgrading from NW04: ESS 100 sp19 to NW04s: ESS 600 sp12.
    I noticed in the new version (ESS 600 sp12) there are new DCs that end in "cfg"
    For example...
    essusaddr~cfg
    essuspdata~cfg
    essusfam~cfg
    etc. etc.
    In the old version (ESS 100 sp19) these "cfg" DC's did not exist.  Are they new configuration type DCs? Not sure.

    Hi guys,
    No Andy is right...I am talking about the version of the webdynpro code on the ERP stack.
    You are correct about the Business Package version, however, I am talking about the webdynpro java code package....which this is correct:
    SAP ECC5 (ERP 2004) Support Package Stack 19 (04/2008)
    SAP XSS (Self Services)
    SAP ESS 100 SP019
    SAP ECC6 (ERP 2005) Support Package Stack 12 (03/2008)
    SAP XSS (Self Services)
    SAP ESS 600 SP012
    My question is whats the purpose of the DC's that end with cfg?  There are now some DC's that end with cfg in the SAP ESS 600 SP012 version that I am trying to find the purpose for?
    Now after researching, I think it has something to do with the new way the FPM (Floor Plan Manager) is calling the pcd for configuration.
    Thanks

  • Error  - While changing existing leave request from ESS

    We are trying to use the standard leave request application in ESS/MSS. The basic required standard configurations are done. Since we wanted custom notifications, the related workflow is copied into custom workflow and we have included required custom notifications. The custom workflow is also configured properly.
    Now, the standard functionalities like making leave request, triggering notifications, approving leave request and posting information into backend are working fine from the ESS/MSS.
    When the employee tries to change the existing leave request (before approval) from ESS, at the 2nd step (Review and Send), it is displaying one error message General task: can be edited by all users. But, it still allows submitting the records.
    Once it is submitted, the system throws one java error at the final step (after pressing SEND button) u2013 Failed to process request. Please contact your system administrator. - java.lang.NullPointerException. The complete error information is provided in the attached word document. Even though, it throws error the submitted data is getting saved into the backend.
    Please help to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

    What custom notifications you require in leave request? We have all available in standard using Rptarqemail
    First of all, the WF task should be set as
    General task: can be edited by all users, which you have done presumably under task classification
    Now, for checking purposes, can you check with standard WF in table v_t554s_web for one absence only?
    ie WS12300111.
    Please test this and let us know if you have errors
    Also please check your custom WF whether it is working correctly or not?

    I have done the follwing steps :
    1.I have close the project.Then remove it from client.Then close the NWDs and reopen it.Still the same error we are getting after creatig project from the track.
    2.Even we tried to repair the DC.Its asking for check out.Then after creating activity its showing an error pop up message "org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaModelException: Classpath contains duplicate entry: D:Documents and settings/susmita.panigrahi/.dtc/2/DCs/sap.com/pcui_gp/xssfpm/_comp/gen/default/public/FloorplanManager/lib/java/sap.compcui_gpxssfpm~FloorplanManager.jar "

    Thanks

    If you have created other projects and they are working fine? Standard application should work without any modifications, so you may like to revert all the changes(before they cause further problem).
    Well you may like to clean up your directory , unless you have loads of application checked out.. Remove all applications from this particular Track, ensure that everytime you delete project from Studio , select to remove code from directory.
    This is likely that you are working on applications from two tracks, where version of FPM component is not the same. I always prefer to work one at a time, and i remove other track if i am done with application(This is lame way of handling it, but i prefer this.. saves loads of time to clean/repair)
    Also hope you are using compatible version of Studio.
