ESS 60.2 with web dynpro

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have configured the ess webdynpro package 60.2 on the portal ep6 sp 11.

for all portal user's are getting the same employee information . How to get the user specific information from ecc 5.0.

In case of ESS with ITS we used to map the backend (R 3 4.7) user id to the its system alias in Portal.

In ESS with webdynpro what will be the option for user mapping?

Hi Rajendra,

If you need user specific information then each portal user should be mapped on to a backend user who was assigned to a particular personnel number. Thereby each portal user will have unique personnel number thereby will be able to see the specific information.

In case of your integration just follow this procedure in the link to USER MAP :

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep50sp2/helpdata/en/b6/8b9aea8d7c11d5bdd8006094191908/frameset.htm">User Mapping</a>

In system administration->system configuration->UM configuration select the direct editing tab .

In that edit the statement ume.usermapping.unsecure = FALSE . (the default will be true)

Since your system is webdynbro based, the system alias would be SAP_WEBDynpro_Xss which would be listed here in user administration as soon as you create an system alias for a system in system configuration.The userid and password you give to the system alias in the user Mapping in user administration tab should be same as the back end user and JCo userid and PWD.

Hope this would help.

Hi Vivekandan,

Thanks . I have mapped the users with hrusers in backend using hruser transaction. I tried mapping these backend users (same as portal users) with system alias SAP_WEBDynpro_Xss but i am getting the same employee information which is attached to jco user.

I didn't understand the following part from your answer

"The userid and password you give to the system alias in the user Mapping in user administration tab should be same as the back end user and JCo userid and PWD."

Hi ,

Can you say me whether you have assigned different personnel number to each back end user that you have mapped.

By that sentence i meant User-ID and PWD in JCo,System alias Mapping and Backend should be one and the same.

If you want to view another employee info then as i understand you need to assign an another personnel number to another backend user and map it to a new portal user.Accordingly you need to change U-ID and PWD in JCo.

hope it helps.

Hi Vivek,

when i am changing the jco user id passwd it is giving the respective user's hr information.

You mean to say every time you should go to each JCO connection change the userid and password so as to get the hr inforamation for another employee?

Hi,

If your portal users are similar as backend users then you can use SAPLogon tickets methods for SSO and no need for User Mapping.

This method will help portal users to get respective employee information if and only if each backend user is assigned with a different personnel number which is nothing but a infotype of a particular employee.

If User-ID and PWD method is followed then every time you want to access a different employee then correspondingly JCo and user mapping needs to be changed.

To know on SSO Logon Tickets and its configuration go thro the following links:

Thanks Vivek,

Tell me whether my following understanding regarding ESS with webdynpro is correct.

"In ESS with webdynpro usermapping with alias SAP_WEBDynpro_XXS and with JCO connections is the one time activity ( it is done only once by administrator) and no end user requires the user mapping with the system alias if we configure SSO with tickets and portal users and backend users are same.

Hi Rajendra,

You are right but to clarify a bit:

1.In SSO with User-Id/PWD method usermapping is a one time activity - yes you are right and it holds good for that particular portal user who is mapped to backend user.If you need another portal user to see a different employee details, then again he needs to be mapped with System alias name, JCo, to a different backend user.For ten users in portal corresponding ten Backend users need to be mapped.

2.In SSO logon Tickets method usermapping is not required as portal users and backend users are going to be same. Since each backend user will have his unique employee details the portal users will be able to see the corresponding details only. Only you need to configure the portal and server as in the link given in previous reply to make it work.

Hope you are clear.
