Background:

Recently i had a requirment for one of my clients to use the standard Ehp5 ESS webdynpro ABAP applications from related activities section in MSS (Self-Service for My Employee). Initially i thought it would be a pretty straight forward task as was calling the webdynpro Java ESS applications from MSS in Ehp4.

Contrary to my initial views i did face some issues in configuring this. Though when i look back after successfully achieving this it seems to be much simpler task :-).

Finally i thought to share my experience with others thinking it may save some of their precious time & i guess time is money for SAP experts :-).

 

As an example i am going to go through the steps for configuring ESS leave WDA application via MSS.

 

Prereqisites:

This article doesn not details simple portal activities like creating iViews/pages.

 

 StepWise Procedure:

 

  • Creating Related Activities Launcher Page (iView): 

Copy Standard Ehp5 Related Activities Launcher (Start Processes) Page/iView & change the descriptions accordingly 

                    

   

 

  • Creating Leave Application Page (iView):
