1. Introduction This blog is based on my experience in one of the projects that I have worked sometime ago!!!. It describes how to configure SAP Enterprise Portal to point to multiple backend clients in ESS/MSS scenarios. Within EP 7.0 / ESS MSS 600, Web Dynpro ESS/MSS package is pre-configured by default for a unique Logical System. This causes severe restrictions in a multi-client environment. postpost

2. Business Scenario To support provider’s shared methodology, it must be possible to maintain ESS/MSS landscape in a manner that allows multiple customers to be implemented within multiple clients on the same system with a unique Portal. Below scenario shows a portal pointing to multiple clients from the same backend system containing ESS/MSS scenarios. It is a pre-requisite that the usernames in backend clients and portal should be the same. In this scenario, the users logged in to portal are able to access the backend using SSO logon tickets. And also, a Central User Administration (CUA) as to be implement in the landscape, one system or one client can dedicated for

3. Single-Client Configuration Information By default ESS/MSS is configured for a single backend client. There are a number of configurations required in Portal http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/employee-self-service/blog/2013/07/25/ess-mss-multi-client-configuration-guide

as well as the backend like setting up JCo, System landscape, ADS and so on. The entire set of standard configurations can be found here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f6/263359f8c14ef98384ae7a2becd156/frameset.htm

4. Multi-Client Configuration Information This document assumes that all the ESS/MSS scenarios are working for a single backend client (e.g.: 100). In the following steps we will configure the portal to point to a new client (200)

5. Implementation Multi-client steps 5.1 Set up JCo Destinations Various JCo connections are already setup for client 100 on the Web Dynpro J2EE server on which the self-service components have been implemented. To create a new set of JCo connections for client 200, implement the steps provided in the following URL and ensure that the parameter for property ‘client’ is provided as 200: Suffix “CL2” with http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/employee-self-service/blog/2013/07/25/ess-mss-multi-client-configuration-guide

5.2 Business Package copy for the new client The default downloaded ESS/MSS Business Package will be paced under: Portal Content > Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Employee Self-Service. Portal Content > Content Provided by SAP > line_manager > Manager Self-Service. Make a copy of these Folders and paste it in a new location. Ensure to create a Copy and not a Deltalink. Use ‘Multiple Property Replacement’ to add new value for the ‘Application Parameter’ properties of WebDynpro iviews. Following is the example of a possible value for ‘Application Parameter’ property. This value will change as per the JCo Destinations created in the system, for each client. sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_BPS:CL2&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_BPS_MetaData:CL2&sap-wd-arfcuseSys=SAP_cProjects:CL2&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_cProjects_MetaData:CL2&sap-wd-arfcuseSys=SAP_ECC_Financials:CL2&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_ECC_Financials_MetaData:CL2&sap-wd-arfchttp://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/employee-self-service/blog/2013/07/25/ess-mss-multi-client-configuration-guide

5.2.1 ‘Application Parameters’ property for newly copied Business Package If ‘Multiple Property Replacement’ was not used to provide Application Parameter for iviews, navigate to the iviews belonging to e.g. client 200 Business Package and provide the Application Parameters that point to the newly created JCo connections (client 200) manually. This value will change as per the JCo Destinations created in the system, for each client.

5.3 Set up Systems / Aliases Navigate to System Administration > Portal Content > and define a new system object that points to client 200. Please note that already a system object should be available for client 100. It is simple to make a copy of the same and point the new one to client 200. (as seen in below screenshot). Also change the name of the system object. (E.g: SAP_ECC_BP3_CL2).

Define the necessary System Alias for the system, pointing to Client 200:

5.4 UWL Configuration Navigate to System Administration > Universal Worklist & Workflow > Universal Worklist – Administration. Here you can define connections to systems as item providers for the Universal Worklist. Add the newly created system alias here (as mentioned in the screenshot below).

Please note that ‘WebDynpro Launch System’ is the system alias of the system which contains the Web Dynpro ESS/MSS Business Packages. Usually it will be the same system as the Portal. So this system alias (as per above http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/employee-self-service/blog/2013/07/25/ess-mss-multi-client-configuration-guide

screenshot example: WebDynpro_XSS) refers to the Enterprise Portal system which contains the deployed Web Dynpro ESS/MSS applications. In Order to restrict access to the corresponding Universal Worklist System, we need to register each system with a specific System Configuration Group, to make it easier we will use the name, ie SAP_WebDynpro_XSS for client 100, SAP_WebDynpro_XSS_CL2 for 200… http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/92/a88931f2dd4631b9e8d530697d89c9/frameset.htm

Then restrict the role to use the corresponding System Configuration Group: Open the role ‘Manager Self Service’ and edit Overview->Work Overview->Work Overview page.

5.5 PCD Location Replication in SPRO The PCD location of ESS/MSS client 200 iviews should be the same as the resource attribute ‘URL of PCD Page’ in SPRO. To make these two configurations point to the same URL, navigate to any iview belonging to the ESS/MSS client 200 Business Package. Open the iview object and copy the url from ‘PCD location’. After copying the URL, open the backend system SPRO configurations for ESS from SAP logon and open the resource object that corresponds to the particular iview e.g: EMPLOYEE_CHANGEOWNDATA_SERVICE05. Paste the url at ‘URL of PCD Page’ and save. (Refer to screenshot below):

5.6 XML Configuration upload for UWL For the PCRs of different clients to work in Portal, we need to upload a custom xml file with Jco parameters specific to the client. Navigate to System Administration > Universal Worklist & Workflow > Universal Worklist – Administration. Click on the link – ‘Click to Administrate Item Types and View Definitions’. Here, you can upload a new configuration xml with nodes pointing to specific tasks in swfvisu (backend table). In this configuration, we pass a property with the value of Jco pointing to the desired client. An example is provided below. XML Configuration

SAP standard workflow for Leave Request is WS12300111 which is already configured for client 100.The task TS12300097 is the approver step in the workflow template WS12300111. This approver step is configured in the transaction SWFVISU in the backend in client 100 as follows.

5.10.1 ISR Server URL The ISR Server URL is client specific. This needs to be changed/created in the new client. ISR Server URL is necessary to be maintained as this URL helps in displaying the created PCR form in the Action box of the HR Admin. Here are the steps to maintain the URL: 1. Go to transaction SM30. Enter view name V_ISRSERVER

2. Maintain an entry in view V_ISRSERVER as follows: Entry type in Web: “Entry Using Adobe PDF” Server Call of ISR Forms: http://hostname:/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~isr/

5.10.2 Maintain HR Admin for new client HR Admin is needed as part of the PCR form approval process. The PCR form after the approval form the approving manager is sent to the HR Admin who updates the data from the form into the backend. HR Admin is configured in the following path in SPRO: Personnel Managementà Personnel Administration à Organizational Dataà Organizational Assignment à Define Administrator User-id of the HR Admin is maintained here under column “SAP name”.
