Self Services - One EP Multiple ECC systems

[Former Member]

Business Scenario

A customer having one Enterprise portal and Multiple ERP system
and there is a need to implement Self services that uses one
portal and communicates to multiple client.

Solution

We shall take one example of Employee Self services where there is one Enterprise
portal server having a Business Package for employee self service
that has to communicate to Multiple ECC systems.

1. Copy the ESS role provided by SAP. Create one copy per ERP client.

2. Create systems with appropriate naming conventions in Enterprise Portal with respective Aliases. Each system will contain respective ECC server parameters. Make sure you use fully qualified domain names while configuring WAS and ITS in the system.You need to remember that WAS can only contains either of the below Technolgy Componenets.

•      BSP
•      ABAP 
•      JAVA

1. Create JCOs for each of the below with different names
2. Start targeting each role one by one and make change in the iview property “application parameter”

You need to use parameter sap-wd-arfc-useSys for java iviews. For
the rest of iviews you can use the respective system created in
step 2. Other than java iviews all iviews have system parameter
property. For java iview you can refer to link below.

Once you are done with the iview configuration you will need a lot
of concentration in home page frame work. Make sure each system has
different naming convention for resources and services atleast.

The Dependecies of some application can cause an error if there
are any hardcoded urls. i.e. reporting launch pad under Manager
Self services has urls hardcoded and it may not function as
desired.
