EHP7 with 7.4 Netweaver - ESS MSS Configs and Portal linking

Hi SAP Gurus,

We have recently implemented SAP with EHP7 and netweaver is 7.4 - This is quite new to us as far as new functionalities are concerned.

I am seeking some inputs from experts on the same.

We have all basic standard ESS configs in place and now trying to open services on ESS/MSS portal however we have observed that though we are able to navigate the services like leave request and all but none of the services are getting opened - If we navigate the same on FIORI, we are able to open leave request services and can raise the request as well.

I am wondering if we need to do some portal configuration for the services since we are at EHP7.

I have attached screenshots along with this thread.

Your response will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Shipra

Your using WDJAVA based role. You can use WDABAP based ESS role.

In portal BPERPESSWDA1.50 is deployed ? If it's deployed then you can use this WDABAP based role for ESS.

In ECC side activate the BF's

HCM_ESS_WDA_1

HCM_ESS_WDA_2

Any how your at EHP7 and EP7.4, so you can upload the PFCG role in portal for ESS if you want to use the UI5 based applications. Read more details at

Hi Shankar,

Thanks for the input.

I believe , BF HCM_ESS_WDA_1 and2 are activated in ECC and hence I am able to view congfiguration node for the same in SPRO.

Now my understanding is, since as now we are not doing any customization, we are just trying to access enterprise portal and ideally with all standard functionality, we should be able to launch the services.

As you said, we should have proper roles and should be available on portal - please can u suggest me which role would be missing if I am able to view the services but can not launch it.

Again I would say, I am able to launch the services on FIORI but not on enterprise portal 7.4.

Valuable inputs appreciated.

Regards

FIORI is different this WDABAP based applications are different.

Once Portal is installed, all required post activities done in portal side ?

Currently as per your screen shot, BP's deployed related ESS are JAVA based. For this portal side JCO's, SLD, System objects etc configurations should done. These all are post activities.

Your at ECC 6.0 EHP7 and EP 7.4, so i suggest to deploy the WDABAP business packages for ESS and use the ESS WDABAP based role.

You can check what BP's are deployed from tab Content Administration

Content provided by SAP -> End User Content.

Hi Shipra,

You have assigned an earlier version of ESS role on Portal due to which there will be some issues.

Can you assign the role present in the following location to your user on portal:

Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Employee Self-Service Web Dynpro ABAP -> Roles

This role points to configurations done in launchpad for role: ESS and instance MENU.

Let me know if this helps you out.

Best Regards,

Rohit

by the way if you are planning to use WD ABAP services, if its a new implementaiton not upgrade, then you can directly upload roles from PFCG instead of deploying any business package.

but first determine, which version you wanna use for ESS/MSS

All information can be got from here

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks alot for the response, your inputs were actually awaited.

Please guide me, how to directly upload roles from PFCG - I am asking this because we do not have portal consultant with us and hence do not have much knowledge though we can arrange to make it done, I found SAP 1685257 which talks about uploading roles, is that okay to follow that note.

We are at EA-HR 608 and accordingly what version of ESS we should use - Kindly suggest.

As per the screenshot I have shared above, please let me know if any involvement of FPM configuration is required?

Your expert suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

yes above note is the bible for the upload, it has an attachment on how to go about it

As i said earlier, you need to first define what you are planning to use HR renewal with SAPUI5 or only WD ABAP? its not straight to answer as your project team needs to determine where you headed first and what functionality you need

With HR renewal SAPUI5 you need gateway etc.

So since its a new implementation, please check what you require, your levels are good enough to get latest functionality, All info is there in my blog though

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks alot for your inputs.

Since we lack the availability of portal consultant here in our project, we ourselves trying to upload PFGC roles with the help of technical guys and we are finding it difficult to understand what all roles we need to upload, it looks a difficult task for us to take decision.

To add, we do not have NWBC implemented - we have EP, please suggest if we should go for NWBC even if we have EP.

I was wondering if I can have documentation on portal implementation for netweaver 7.4 to refer- it could be a great help to us.

Further, let me know if I need to provide any specific inputs required for you to suggest me.

We are having ESS/MSS of version HR renewal 2.0.

Waiting for your expert inputs.

Many thanks.

Thanks Shanker for the correct instruction at very initial phase however it was me who took time to understand the end to end functionality as I had very less knowledge from portal front.

Many thanks to Siddharth for the walking me through step by step process uploading roles in correct way to get leave services enabled on portal.

I highly appreciate Expert's support which made me to learn something different from my area of expertise.

You guys are just great.

Regards.
