1. IntroductionThis 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.
2. Business ScenarioTo support providers 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

configured for a single backend client. There are a number of
configurations required in Portal

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 InformationThis 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

the name as shown in below screenshot.

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.

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

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.

Set the value(SAP_WebDynpro_XSS) for the parameter System
Configuration Group. Above screenshot is for client
100.
For Client 200, open the Manager Self Service role from the
below path and set the value
(SAP_WebDynpro_XSS_CL2)

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 UWLFor 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.

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 URLThe 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 clientHR 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 Management Personnel Administration Organizational
Data Organizational Assignment Define
Administrator
User-id of the HR Admin is maintained here under column SAP
name.

5.10.3 Pre-requisitesEnsure that the following forms are
activated.
Time statement form activation:
ESS Path: ESSWorking timeTime Statement
When creating new client sometimes the smartforms used for time
statement are inactive in the backend which
needs to be activated. Here are the steps to activate the
forms.
1. Go to transaction HRFROMS in the backend
2. Select form SAP_TIM_99_0002 and click Change.
3. Activate the form using the Activate button.
Follow the same steps for activating the following forms if it
is not activated:
SAP_TIM_99_0001 - Time Statement for a Chosen Period
Salary Statement:
ESS Path: ESS Benefits and Payments Salary Statement
To display the salary statement for an employee, the following
infotypes need to be maintained in the backend
transaction PA30 followed by executing a payroll report. Else
system will not be able to display the salary statement in
the portal.
