yes Ankita,

As Shankar Confirmed that it's depends upon the business requirement and their existing system component level.

If your Client want to use WDA based ESS/MSS then portal is not necessary for them. They can call WDA based ESS/MSS through NWBC.

SAP has provided the Employee Self-Service (ESS) component based completely on Web Dynpro ABAP technology. The WD ABAP-based ESS services are available with software component EA-HR 605 (EHP 5 and Above)

You can find a complete list of the services and features available with ESS (WDA) in SAP Library for SAP ERP for SAP Enhancement Package 5 on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/erp -> SAP ERP Central Component -> Human Resources -> Shared Services -> Employee Self-Service -> Employee Self-Service (WDA).

This means the customer has the option of not installing the Java parts of the self-services (SAP ESS 603 and other related pre-requisite Java parts, such as SAP PCUI GP 603 components).

An additional deployment option using SAP NetWeaver Business Client for HTML without using the SAP NetWeaver Portal is also available for Employee Self-Service (WDA).

Customers who want to use the new WD ABAP services on SAP NetWeaver Portal must deploy the business package content BPERPESSWDA1.50.

           Note: Some of the services (including some country-specific scenarios) that are available in WD Java based on SAP ESS 603 and EA-HR 603 are not yet available in SAP Business Suite 7 Innovations 2010 and are planned for later release

For using new WD ABAP-based ESS you need to install SAP Business Suite 7 Innovations 2010 (EA-HR 605) and activate business function HCM_ESS_WDA_1. You can find a description of the business function in SAP Library for SAP ERP for SAP enhancement package 5 on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/erp -> Business Functions (SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0) -> Enterprise Business Functions -> Human Capital Management -> HCM, ESS on Web Dynpro ABAP.

Please let me know if any further information is required.

Thanks Anuj & Shankar for clearing me about Web Dynpro ABAP based ESS/MSS application.

Above information is fruitful for me.

We are using latest SAP component and version in that case, We can use WDA based ESS/MSS.

Configuration end do we made any changes for NWBC or Portal or it will remain same.

For the most part, through the years, ESS has always had a "standalone" option (though you almost never see it). MSS however, always requires a "portal" for access (be it the NW Portal or NWBC client for later versions).

it's depends upon the business requirement and their existing system component level.

If your not planning to use any WDJAVA applications and client is on EHP5 and above then you can go for NWBC other wise you required portal to use both the applications WDJAVA and WDABAP.

Since up to EHP6 some of the applications are not yet released in WDABAP like Who's Who for employee search functionality

Claims and Re-imbursement etc.
