Commonly faced error in Leave Request Application in ESS
I suppose Leave Request application is one of the most frequently accessed applications in ESS, keeping in mind the employees' propensity of taking leave and running from work J
However this application also has the most numerous errors in store. So this blog is mainly to list down the most recurring issues in Leave request application that I have come across.
1. "Application occurred during application processing". Details: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.core.DispatcherException: The requested deployable object 'sap.com/ess~lea' and 'LeaveRequestApprover' not found.
- This is one of the most common errors that come across when the system is being configured for ESS.This error mainly occurs because the ‘SAP Web AS Connection' property of the SAP_WebDynpro_XSS does not correctly point to the portal server where the object 'sap.com/ess~lea'is deployed.
2. Workflow related errors:
- Employee not able to create leave request getting error ‘unable to send request'. Fot resolving this error, Agent assignment for workflow template 12300111 has to be set to ‘General Task'.
- Leave request not reaching the manager for approval. This problem ofen occurs and managers do not receive workitems in their inbox. To resolve this error, Agent assignment to be set to ‘General task' for task 12300097.
3. ‘Use the input help to select an approver'
4. ‘Collision exists for another time entry'.
5. ‘Workitem XXXX cannot be executed in status COMPLETED'
Some Common Tips:
- UWL destination should be setup : check the SAPNOTE 1133821
- Check SAPNOTEs for error. Many a times, the resolution to the error is provided in the SAPNOTES.
- Check configuration of task TS12300097 from Transaction code SWFVISU.
- Check compatibility of the packages SAP ESS 600, SAP PCUI_GP and SAP EA-HR. Incompatibility between the support packages often cause many errors in the system.
