Please guide as i in mid of somthing & need ur urgent assistance.

Problems with Integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01

We are having major problems with integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01?
Do we need to have a support portal for each.
We created test users for systems but sometimes we lose the users for no apparrent reasons. Very strange. Please advise and if you have new documentation regarding SAP Portal Authorization it will be helpful.

Hi
Please search on SDN for integrating SRM, ESS/MSS in Portal.

URGENT : EP 7.0 /ECC 5.0 - Problem with Business Package : ESS/MSS

Dear Portal Gurus,
We are facing a problem with business package for ESS/MSS
Our system Info is as under :
Portal:- NW 2004s
ERP2004: - (R3 ECC 5.0)
ESS:- BP for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.2
MSS:- BP for Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.1.1
SAP XSS à (SAP ESS 100, SAP MSS 100 and SAP PCUI_GP 100 , all upto SP 12)
After the Business Packages were installed,found that some ess apps where not deployed...so manually deployed it.
The JCO connections are OK.
Do we need to set up the backend Homepage Framework for the same......even for preview.....was thinking not.
Also, here is the error and exception that we get when we preview any ESS iview.
A critical error has occured. Processing of the service had to be terminated. Unsaved data has been lost.
Please contact your system administrator.
You dont have the authorization to start service sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuArea.

ESS/MSS Customizations

HI ESS/MSS Gurus,
During our discussions with the client regarding the inherent features of the standard ESS/MSS functionalities, several points were raised, namely:
1. The cumbersome nature of data/request entry - basically they just want all the request filing to occur in one screen. No need to skip screens to review and validate the request
2. No record id to document the request -> they want a means for the user and manager to monitor and track requests using a standardized request numbering system. I believe that the standard solution for ESS/MSS does not have this one in place
3. Ability to extract reports of histories of requests raised (for the employee) and requests reviewed (for the manager)
In our opinion, these items will require heavy customization on both the portal and back end side. We are basically considering a custom table which will store these information and depending on the status of the requests, a request column will be updated with the corresponding values. The request approvals, notifications, and postings are also to be done via ABAP
In designing this solution, we came across some stumbling blocks, specifically on updating the personal and team calendars for leave requests and the employee's schedule for the clock in/out corrections. Hence, we want to check if any of you guys have had experience with customizing the ESS/MSS interfaces (specifically the leave and clock in/out application and approval), and if so, can you help us identify which tables are being updated/read when a leave or clock in/out is created and approved. We already checked the FMs attached to the portal application and the they call several methods and functions; i.e. is there a table/set of tables that you can point us to instead?
Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
Regards,

1. The cumbersome nature of data/request entry - basically they just want all the request filing to occur in one screen. No need to skip screens to review and validate the request
-- Depending on your version less than or equal to ehp5,.. this is true in versions less then ehp5. then ahain until ehp4 any forms that need implementation will need some element of development work so in your particular case the element of develpment could be a little higher to make them all use a single entry screen that gets submitted.
2. No record id to document the request -> they want a means for the user and manager to monitor and track requests using a standardized request numbering system. I believe that the standard solution for ESS/MSS does not have this one in place
-- for any form or process that has workflow attached there is an automatic workflow-id assigned by the system and I believe you can report on these inthe back end... standard workflow fuctionality... why dont you explore this option with your workflo consultant?
3. Ability to extract reports of histories of requests raised (for the employee) and requests reviewed (for the manager)

ESS/MSS - Floor Plan Manager - DC Model Modification

Hi,
We are working on ESS/MSS business package based on FPM framework (WebDynpro). We have a small requirement but implementation of this is causing hell lot of problem. So I am looking for expert opinion on this.
We are modifying Address Data DC for a specific country. This DC (essXXaddr) component is taking data from IT0006 (Address Infotype).
Requirements: Introduces additional fields (Not a Z field) on Address DC component (essXXaddr) from IT0105 (Communication) and update the same when user saves address data.
Solutions we tried are:
1. Create another model in DC based on Function Group:
HRXSS_PER_P0105_XX
and update SAP using its RFC.
Problem: Throwing error. If we debug the call in the SAP (ABAP side), we can see that the container (ABAP) is taking value of infotype 0006 and not 0105 when making a call to communication model and we are getting errors.
2. Create a ZRFC model in DC based on Function Group : Z_XX_P0105 and update SAP using this RFC.
Problem : Read operation is working fine. But modify operations is again throwing RFC_EXCEPTION. The RFC is working fine if called from in ABAP and update data as required but the call from DC is causing some context problem.
Also the problem associated with this solution is When to update the data? As such the standard MODEL HRXSS_PER_P0006_XX is saving data on pressing of SAVE Button and not on pressing on REVIEW button. But on pressing REVIEW button the DC is calling the MODIFY Std RFC and storing the data in the buffer and committing the work when SAVE button is pressed.
What should be the solution of this problem?
Any clue???
Thanks in Advance.
Note: We are using the correct Country specific DCs and RFC's. (XX -> DE, US etc)

You must modify the Java source code as well. You have to install NetWeaver Development Infrastructure to get access to the ESS source code.

Multi Level Leave workflow in ESS MSS

Hi Guys,
This is the first time I am working with ESS MSS and I have to implement 2 level workflow for leave, I have gone through lot of threads and concluded that i have to enhance class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS
with new method where I have to change the status back to SENT after first level of approval and create new background task and attach it to custom workflow which is copy of standard.
Now my problem is I have enhanced the class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS with new method change status but when I am creating the task I canu2019t see that method in drop down list of methods.
Any idea why it not showing.
We are on ECC6. EH4
Atul
Edited by: Atul Dhariwal on Mar 8, 2011 4:56 AM

Hi Atul
You are doing wrong way. You need to use BADI to enhance that for that goto SE18 search with PT_GEN* and get the BADI name and goto se19 and create a implementation for that there you in the desiered method you can code. But remember you cannot add you own need method the BADI. What ever SAP is providing that one only you can use to add additional code not addding new method.

ECC 6.0 with EHP 7

Hi,
Is ECC 6.0 available with EHP 7 for the installation. Can we directly install ECC 6.0 EHP7 or do we need to install ECC 6.0 first and then upgrade to EHP 7.
regards

Hi Denis,
You can install EHP7 for ECC6. You should 1st check Service Market place for PAM(product availability matrix) for combinations of DB and OS. You should understand your usage type and learn more about SWP/SUM/740 kernel/System Preparations and other knows prerequisites

Re: ESS & MSS Learning

Dear Experts,
I am planning to Learn ESS & MSS.
Can anyone please tell me what is nencesary qualification to complete ESS & MSS.
Also can anyone tell me institutes in mumbai training on ESS & MSS.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Aniruddha

Hi
ESS & MSS is not just about a module and functionality. It's about understanding the business requirement and the functionality that the management and HR would like to get across to the Employees and the managers.
once the business processes are defined then you can look at the MSS and ESS configuration nodes and work out the solutions. The ESS configuration you can get in SPRO and for MSS you can get in TC : simg_sport as well as in SPRO
If you have any specifics do let us know.

EHP with ESS/MSS

Hello everyone,
We have a ERP 6.0 (based on NetWeaver 7.0) and a SAP Portal 7.0 with ESS/MSS. We now need to update the ERP to EHP6 or EHP7, my question is regarding SAP Portal, do we need to upgrade the Portal to 7.3x or 7.4? Where can I validate this dependencies?
Best regards,
JAM

Hi JA,
The line means you can use existing SAP Portal and you can update you SPS level to latest version in-order to support the ECC6 with EHP7 rather than upgrading Portal version to NW7.40.
"you can do a SP update in your portal to get a equivalence level and get the newer version of SAP ECC backend supported"
And the equivalence of SP level is as below which you can find for ECC version:-
EhP7 SPS 06 -- EhP6 on Hana SPS08 -- EhP6 SPS13 -- EhP5 SPS13 -- EhP4 SPS16 -- EhP3 SPS15 -- EhP2 SPS16 -- SAP ERP 6.0 SPS26

Thank in advance for your help,

Hello Juan,
what you are looking at is standard functionality provided by the WD ABAP ALV table view (which is used by the POWL - of which these are examples) - the user themselves can define their own views of the data (and you can I believe - although I have not yet tried - even define them globally and assign them as defaults).
Have a look at the POWL feeder class used by the appraisal status view - I think that it explicitly enhancable through a BAdI - if not then you could always just enhance the feeder class yourself. I'm not sure that you could include an action link column in the POWL, but you can certainly include a new button at the top of the list - and allow actions to be launched on selecting a row of the table and then clicking that button.
For more details on POWL - have a look at [SAP help doco on POWL|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/46/65c34314e97184e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]
and as an answer to your original question -

Upgrading to EHP 4.0 - Have few queries on ESS/MSS, Erecruitment.

Hi,
We are trying to upgrade our portal to EHP 5.0. We have ESS/MSS and few webdynpro java and webdynpro abap applications on the portal. These are the few queries I have
1) ESS services : employee search, personal data, LMS(Webdynpro Java) are on EHP 3 as of now. Will the applications remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP5?
2) ESS travel management(Webdynpro ABAP) are on EHP 2 as of now. Will this application remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP 5?
3) E Recruitment (BSP) is on EHP 3 Will this application remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP 5?
4) We have MSS services: ERec Manager and Appraisal. Will these services affect if we upgrade to EHP 5?
4) We have few custom applications in Webdynpro abap and webdypro java developed on portal. Will these effect if we upgrade to EHP 5?
Thanks.
Regards,
Priyanka.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Can you let me know which version of ESS/MSS and E-Recruitment business packages are applicable for the above version? And are these versions of ESS/MSS available in market now? Otherwise we can suggest our client to go for a upgrade to EHP 4.
Appreciate your input.
Regards,
Priyanka
