Hi Anil,

When you use WDA (webdynpro for ABAP) for ESS/MSS, you donot need any JCO conections, instead you need System alias "SAP_ECC_HumanResources" ONLY. This system alias will be pointing to your backend ERP System. When you try to do test preview for iView, please use correct content to test. Please see below for precise WDA ESS contents. Also if you notice you will see "com.sap.pct.erp.ess.wda.bp_folder" as iView property which indicates it is WDA.

Hi Bhavin,

  Thanks for the reply.

  Actually we are trying to configure the ESS n MSS using Webdynpro java, thats why i am creating the Jco destination.

Before trying to preview the iview inside the portal content,Do i need to activate the Business Function in ECC server????

Can you please share me the step by step process of ESS&MSS configuration using wdjava?

Hi Bhavin,

  When i try to preview the iview which you have mentioned in the previous reply i am getting the "portal runtime error".

Can you please tell me how to check the logs in portal 7.4??

Hi Anil,

for the logs open host:port/nwa there go to Troubleshooting --> Logs and Traces --> Log Viewer. Under View select Developer Traces. The problems may be that you did not assign the correct system alias to the system object pointing to the corresponding backend system or that you did not activate the sicf service for the application in transaction sicf in your backend system

Hi Anil,

when you're using the WD ABAP solution this should be the only alias you need because you have just one iview in the portal. So just go to Systemadministration --> System Lanscape and choose your system in the list then click the button configure. Now the system object should open, there you choose System Aliases and add the alias.

Hi Nico,

Thank you so much for the reply. I have created the SAP_ECC_HUMANRESOURCE alias in sytem landscape as you suggested and when i click on preview i am able to see the page without any errors.

My Requirement is, I want only few services from the ESS/MSS like employee search ,Leave management etc and we want to create the new customized role for the enduser, so that he can access standard iviews and customized iviews.

What are the business functions do i need to activate in the SFW5?

Can you please tell me how to get specific iviews from MSS/ESS into our customized role???

Regards,

Anil

Hi Anil,

the easiest way to do this, is to go to your backend system, open transaction lpd_cust, open role ess instance menu, there you can see the single applications and the parameters needed. As SAP is using OBN in lots of the applications you have to add the OBN targets to your portal role too.

Hi Nico,

I am new to the ESS & MSS stuff.Can you please explain me detail and please share if you have any document on this.

I have executed lpd_cust and opened the role ESS but i want to know how can i get the iview inside my portal role.

How to add the OBN targets to the portal role??

Anil

Hi Anil,

you have to create a wd abap iview in your portal, there you have to set the application name the configuration name and the parameters you can see in transaction lpd_cust.

Hi Patrick,

Hi Anil,

In your system BP has already deployed. That's reason you are able to see PCD objects.

Thanks

[anil_kumar259]

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the clarification. I have one more doubt, when i try to preview the iviews in PCD location of ESS i am getting the following error.

  

I found  in sdn.

Can i use Wdjava in my Landscape(ecc 6.0 Ep 7.4)?

If yes Please tell me what are Java packages i need to deploy in my portal?

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Kindly check PAM in service market place. From there you can find the suitable version of BP depend on your Back end version.

Because for your ECC is EHP6 means you need to deploy the BP of lower version to portal for support WDJ application.

I guess better before do this scenario please read the release notes.

Thanks

Patrick

[anil_kumar259]

Hi Patrik,

The BP's are already deployed in the portal. I can see both Java as well as ABAP content inside the portal content

I hope you are now trying to preview those iviews under  Employee Self-Service which are JAVa WD iviews. then you get the error "Failed to lookup external link" ...

This means that the iview is trying to lookup the corresponding WD JAva application and it is not found

Check the iview property "external link"  and the value is the WD application in question

Check if it exists in the WD content  adminsitrator

Go to  http://<portal host>:<port>/startPage

webdynpro

check if the application is present

[anil_kumar259]

Hi Mani,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, i am trying to preview the iview under ESS which are WD iviews and finally i am getting the error.

The External link of the iview is "webdynpro:java/sap.com/ess~wiw/com.sap.xss.hr.wiw.WhoIsWhoApplication/base", but in the content Adminstrator their is nothing.

 

After reading some of the blogs in SDN i came to know that i have to create the Jco destinations in WD content Admin and i have activate some Webdynpro services.

I am new to ESS and MSS configuration,Till now Bais guys already deployed the BP's  and i have configured SLD in portal.

Can you please tell me the process of ESS & MSS configuration and how the Standard iviews will work?

Anil
