E Separation:
The e-separation solution will aid any employee separation process due to resignation, retirement, or employer-initiated (such as absconding, death cases). Companies can have a transparent process so the employee and the involved parties (manager, HR personnel) have a clear understanding and the latest information on what stage the process has reached, thereby reducing the administrative work and time involved.
Switch Framework
After the installation, no user interface or process change takes place. You must explicitly activate new functions so that they become visible in the system. As a result, changes are predictable and there are no side effects as only the activated areas change.
With the switch framework technology (transaction SFW5), it is possible to control the activation of new SAP objects in ABAP-based SAP systems. The activation process triggers a background job that automatically performs all changes in the SAP system. It is recommended to test the installation and up gradation on a sandbox system

Creating a Custom ESS Launchpad
A ‘Launchpad’ is a collection of navigation destinations that are stored as a separate technical object in the system.
You use a launchpad to allow users to navigate to specific goals outside of the current Floor plan Manager application. For example, this could mean navigating to other Web Dynpro ABAP applications, external Web pages, transactions, reports, or other business objects. The You Can Also and Related Links elements are available in the toolbar of Object Instance Floor Plans and Guided Activity Floor Plans. You can assign these elements to different launchpads. In the floor plan for an overview page, you can integrate launchpads via the launchpad component.
