1. IntroductionThe following document will explain the steps required to enhance the Standard MSS Employee Profile with a custom Web
Dynpro iView.
It will not discuss in detail how to create a Floorplan Manager Web Dynpro Application. A more or less detailed and uptodate
documentation about the Floorplan Manager can be found here.
2. Developing a Floorplan Manager Web Dynpro Java ApplicationFirst of all you need to develop a Web Dnypro Java Application using the Floorplan Manager Framework in order to later
integrate it into the MSS Employee Profile.
Figure 1: Create a new Web Dynpro Development Component
To access the Floorplan Manager Framework the FPM Components pcui_gp/xssfpm and pcui_gp/xssutils have to be
added as used Development Components to the Project.
Figure 2: Add FPM Used Componentes
For my simple example i just have created one single Web Dynpro Component. FPM-vise speaking its a Visual Application
Component.
Figure 3: New Web Dynpro Component
As the newly created Web Dynpro Component is a Visual Application Component the Interface IVAC from the used
component pcui_gp/xssfpm has to be implemented. See figure 4.
With the Interface Implemenation a new Window IVACWindow is created. As the FPM will use this window, the default
window can be deleted. Its important to embed the own View to this new Window (see figure 5)
Figure 4: Implement Interface IVAC
Figure 5: Embed View to Window IVACWindow
At the MSS Employee Profile when a user selects a new object, e.g. a new employee (see figure 5) the custom Web Dynpro
application needs to be informed about the new object selection. This is done using server-side eventing with the FPM
framework. In order to receive the new event we have to access the Business Logic Component FcObjectSelection from the
componentpcui_gp/xssutils.
Figure 6: Object selection
Figure 7: Used Wed Dynpro Component FcObjectSelection
We now need to map the Context of the BLC FcObjectselection to our own Web Dynpro Component to receive the newly
selected object. E.g. the personal number. With the mapping done, the context attribute objid gets updated everytime a user
selects a new object (figure 5). With the new objid at hand you can do implement your business logic. In this example i have
just created a View to display the context attribute objid (figure 8).
Figure 8: Context-Mapping
Figure 9: Demo View
The used Component FcObjectSelection is a non-visible FPM Component (Business Logic Component) thus the reference
to this componet has to be prepared and enabled. (see figure 10)
Figure 10: Attach Component to usage
We finally need to create a new application. For a FPM application several application parameter have to be defined. Which
ones are required can be read at the SAP FPM Doku.
Of great importance is the application property sap.xss.BaseConfigurationID.
Quote: It is used to define the path to the application configuration in the Portal Content Directory (PCD). This entry points
to the technical name of the FPM Application as defined in the Enterprise Portal.
As we do want to enhance the MSS Employee Profile application we have to set the parameter to the following value:
Also make sure the Use_CustomerExit_ParameterProvider parameter of the AppIntegrator portal service has the value true.
See Configuring the AppIntegrator Portal Service.
With the new role assigned, we now have to create a new FPM-View for our Web Dynpro Component. (see figure 12 and
13)
Figure 12: Create new FPM-View
Figure 13: Create new FPM-View
4. Add the custom FPM-View to the Standard FPM-Application "GeneralInformation"
Figure 14: Add the FPM-View to the FPM-Application GeneralInformation
Figure 15 Add the FPM-View to the FPM-Application GeneralInformation
With our Web Dynpro Component added to the MSS Employee Profile FPM-Application we are pretty much done with the
configuration needed. If we start our Web Dynpro Application again standalone we will see our own Component added. In
order to have it added when startung the Application from the portal as well, we have to add it to the standard Portal page
for the MSS Employee Profile.
5. Create a Web Dynpro iViewThe iView we have to create has to point to the standard FPM-Application GeneralInformation and not to our custom Web
Dynpro application. The Web Dynpro Application behind the FPM-
Application GeneralInformation is sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation
In figure 18 we can see our FPM-View we have created at step 3 and added to the FPM-Application GeneralInformation at
step 4.
Figure 16: Create a Web Dynpro iView for sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation
Figure 17 Create a Web Dynpro iView for sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation
Figure 18 Create a Web Dynpro iView for sap.com/mss~eepro/GeneralInformation
6. Add the custom iView to the Standard Page "GeneralInformation"As last step we simply add our created iView to the standard MSS Employee Profofile GeneralInformation Page. (see figure
19)
Figure 19: Add our iView to the standard portal page
7. Result... seems working Now everytime a new object is selected, our custom Web Dynpro application gets notified and has full
