HR Renewal FP4 How to limit personlization option to add/remove CHIPS

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi There,

We are on our HR renewal FP 4 implementation journey and this is another one of interesting issues we are facing.

We are using only selected few ESS and MSS chip services as part of our current scope. So we have worked on the catalog to restrict services which we don't need. Now we don't want End users to select and chose services which they to displayed. Major concern is around support, when they click and hide one of those Payroll services and then panic calls starts at Support Center. I am sure this concern is shared among other clients. Now Good old Portal Iview properties allowed us to restrict personalization to add/remove iviews from role. We are looking to gain similar control by Administrator

So essentially we want to

1) Allow Administrators to pre-select all the required CHIPs services for ESS and MSS users

2) Disable option to add/remove CHIPS by ESS and MSS users

Now i did a bit of search in and around SDN to find similar pains and solutions. I stumbled upon this veyr informative blog

by Carrie Lande

In here Carrie has confirmed the limitation of current solution version as it goes:

  • In the current version, users must perform personalization upon initial logon to set up their landing page.  Because of this constraint, it is not feasible to disable personalization in the current version.

There was also mention by Alex Mathew around SAP Product team will look into these issues. I could not locate any follow up documents/release information to confirm if this has been taken up and delivered as part of notes/packs in FP4 based solution.


Wanted to check with you if you have managed to find any workaround to handle this limitation.


Thanks a lot for your time.


Regards,

Sudhir

you should be able to do at admin level New Admin page URL http://sapecc-dv.myintranet.local/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/ARSRVC_SPB_ADMN/mai n.html In order to capture the changes like reordering the chips or removing the chips to a transport request automatically, we must specify the following user parameters for the user profile in the backend system. The navigation path is as follows: System > User Profile > Own Data > Parameters: Parameter /UI2/WDC_DEVCLASS: Software package for page configurations. Parameter /UI2/WD_TRKORR_CONF: Number of a transport request for client-independent page configurations. Parameter /UI2/WD_TRKORR_CUST: Number of a transport request for client-specific page customizing. Can you please check if main.html is present in the bsp application ARSRVC_SPB_ADMN by following below steps. 1. Logon to your backend system. 2. Enter transaction se80. 3. Select Package and enter package name AR_SRVC_PB 4. Expand the package AR_SRVC_PB 5. Expand BSP Library-> BSP Application ->ARSRVC_SPB_ADMN. 6. Under this BSP Appication under Page Fragments main.html should  be present.  If ARSRVC_SPB_ADMN itself is missing or main.html is missing then this might be because of improper notes application. Below are the notes that has to be applied in the specified sequence for Suite Page Builder 1864947 1865279 1865420 1870877 1870878 1874813 1874901 1886647

Thanks Siddharth. I am already able to access arsrvc_spb_admn/main.html. So that is sorted. So i can configure catalog to hide what i don't want to use. So that's working fine.

Now my question was. When user logs on for the first time, they are prompted to select/personalize what chips they want to show for ESS and MSS.

Can we avoid this option. Also we wanted to restrict users from adding/removing these chips. This should be done by Administrator only.

Thanks Siddharth.

We started our build phase. We got few months to go before we are live.. but if this fix will be part of HR Renewal 2.0 (like MSS substitution options) then we might have to live with current limitations. Unless this functionality can be ported to FP4 based solution.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Sandeep.

Look for this service in SICF, you should be able to find it. Once you find it you can try to launch this service.

Hello Sudhir,

What is the latest update on this subject?

We are implementing the HR Renewal 2.0 FP1 based ESS/MSS UI5 applications.

We would like to know if we can disable the end user personalization (adding/removing chips) in HR Renewal 2.0 FP1.

Appreciate your response.

We have hidden this toggle settings by Using the CSS . You can hide the IMAGE which control the settings.

Hi Sudhir,

The solution is provided for this request. Please refer to note 2058984, 2065525.

If an user is restricted from personalizing then all the chips of the catalogs assigned to that user will be added to their landing page on first load.

As well admin can restrict/unrestrict personalization for any landing page.

Hello,

Thank you all for the wonderful information that you post.

Since I'm a total newbie on these aspects of SAP (as well as SAP itself), I'm having several doubts that I cannot find an answer, from those the 3 more important are:

  1. What's the different between a lane and a CHIP?
  2. How to remove, for example, the LEAVE REQUEST (I felt this was a CHIP, but it seems I'm wrong) from the My Info (Lane? CHIP?)
  3. I need to add a a link to a custom developed WebDympro app (just one URL), in the launchpad. Would I need to create a custom Lane/CHIP in order to do it? And if so (or, in any case actually), can you point me to some documentation on how to do it?

Thank you very much in advance and, please do excuse me if these questions are too much too basic...

The easy way to change this is - open the ARSVC suite application  in theme designer and hide this via CSS modifications.

We need to identify the element  via Chrome Browser and then hide the Icon for the same in theme designer.

Hi Michael,

I'm using IE11.

For your information, I connect to the Suite Page Builder | Page Admin via https://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_spb_admn/main.html?scope=CONF.

Then via the menu All Pages, I choose my page/catalog:

Fyi, now we have installed the following SP levels:

ComponentReleaseSP-LevelDescription
SAP_BASIS740006SAP Basis Component
SAP_ABA740006Cross-Application Component
SAP_GWFND740008SAP Gateway Foundation 7.40

SAP_BS_FND747004SAP Business Suite Foundation
WEBCUIF747004SAP Web UI Framework
SAP_HR604079Human Resources

After the installation of the SP, did you clear you cache browser and delete the cache of the Gateway?

Hi Michael,

For this option to be visible will only upgrading SAP_UI 740 to  SP10 suffice or do i need to upgrade any other components as well? The current level of components is as shown below.

Hi Navya,

sry for the late response (holidays ).

I actually implemented the latest support package stack. But i suppose, that SAP_UI is the determining component for the mentioned SPB-feature. So SP 10 should do it.

Can you please paste the screen shots of ESS/MSS application(s) showing the chips which has to be removed.
