Hi Smitha,

Please find the answers below:-

1) The Current SP Level for EP 7.0 is SP 13. and availability for ESS and MSS is

SAP NetWeaver 2004s

mySAP ERP2005, SP02

3) To implement the Business Package for Employee Self-Service, you must install the following software components:-

● SAP NetWeaver 2004s with Enterprise Portal

● Portal

ESS applications run in SAP Enterprise Portal. For general information about the portal and specific information about how to set it up, see the Internet at help.sap.com →Documentation → SAP NetWeaver → Portal Content → SAP Enterprise Portal.

The J2EE Engine, a runtime system for J2EE compatible applications, is part of

SAP NetWeaver. The portal and the J2EE Engine must be run on the same

server.

● Web Dynpro Development Components PCUI_GP and ESS.

● SAP ERP Core Components (SAP ECC) 6.0 with the following extensions:

->Human Resources Extension (EA-HR)

->Financials Extension (EA-FIN)

● System Landscape Directory (SLD)

You must install and configure the System Landscape Directory (SLD). The SLD is part of SAP NetWeaver.

For more information, see the following guides:

a) For information about the SLD, see the Post Installation Guide – SLD 6.40 at

service.sap.com/sld → Media Library.

b) For information about how to install the SLD in mySAP ERP, see the Installation

Guide for SAP ECC and the mySAP ERP Master Guide. You can find these

documents at SAP Service Marketplace, service.sap.com/instguides →

mySAP Business Suite Solutions → mySAP ERP.

1) For the documentation on the SLD, see SAP Library under

SAP NetWeaver Library → SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability → Solution Life Cycle

Management by Key Capability → Software Life Cycle Management → SAP

System Landscape Directory [Extern].

● Internet Graphics Server (IGS)

If you want to set up an Internet Graphics Server (IGS), you must use the Visual

Administrator. For more information, see SAP Notes 704604 and 454042.

● Adobe Document Services (ADS)

If you want to implement PDF-based forms in Employee Self-Service applications, you need Adobe Document Services. This enables you to integrate interactive forms in your applications. For example, you can integrate interactive forms in applications from the Corporate Information area.

I have already provided other necessary documents on ESS and MSS from SAP Service Market Place.

Also watch this for some general settings in ESS:-

[General settings in ESS business package|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/38/e8584c2a664547b60442646bee23b6/frameset.htm]

Hope these help.

Hi all

I need an implementation guide for install ESS on Portal EP 7.0. We are using SAP R/3 4.6 C Version.

I found some files with ESS implementation, but none talk the case where the company has installed SAP R/3 4.6 C with EP 7.0.

Best regards.
