ESS MSS and ECC AS ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it a requirement to have AS JAVA on ECC 6, in order to have ESS/MSS on Portal? Can we do ESS/MSS with just AS ABAP stack on ECC (we have EHP4)

(I dont want to double post - i tried the question in ESS forum)

Thanks

Hi,

It is not recommonded to have both Abap and Java on a single system ESS and MSS.

But practically it is possible to install ABAP and JAVA with EP on a single instance and configure ESS MSS.

Probably I did not put my question straight.

I have

1) Portal Box with EP and EP Core

2) ECC6 EHP4 - AS ABAP

My question is - do I need to have ECC6 AS ABAP on a different box to have ESS/MSS functionality on the Portal? Or would my ECC AS ABAP be sufficient?

I had referred to the blog - http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b22244326... - and on Pg3 it says that you need a JAVA server. Would this be required, and would that be AS JAVA of ECC6?

Please advise

Thanks

If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to find out weather for ESS/MSS your portal will be sufficient or you will need another JAVA stack for your ECC system ?

You can use your current Portal system to deploy ESS/MSS.

[Downloading and deploy ESS & MSS |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=31476]

If you have other systems like BW, CRM, etc. and they have JAVA/Portal stack with them, then you might want to consider going with Federated Portal and then the whole concept of Producer and Consumer comes in.

So I guess find out what the long term strategy is. Would BW be used for Web Reporting Yes, NO, Maybe ?

Based on these questions you need to define weather you need to implement ESS/MSS on you main portal or you want to add another JAVA/portal instance for your ECC.

Hope this helps.

Hi Naveed,

It kind of answered my question.But I got confused.

Lets take my landscape as simple - ECC AS ABAP (EHP4) in one box, and another Box for Portal (EP,EP Core).

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b22244326... - following this document, (pg 6), it says that you need to configure the SAP JCo in the webdynpro content admin in the "sneak preview" JAVA. So, should I have ECC AS JAVA box instead to do this?

No you don't need a separate AS JAVA. You can do those steps on Portal.

Hope this helps.

As Naveed said, you can have your Portal talk directly to ECC. The Webdynpro connections should be created on Portal - not on ECC.

Thanks Naveed. Your answer closes my issue. (and thanks for bieng soo quick)

Thanks to all others too..

I have BI, CRM and other stuff which are going to the Portal. So, I would go in to the strategies side to design it better before I hit the ESS/MSS alone. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Naveed,All,

Do you know if any usage types (like BI_JAVA is required for BI functionality on EP) are required for making an EP (with EP Core / EP usage types) to a Portal which can have ESS / MSS packages to be installed?

If you plan to use Web reporting then BI_JAVA will be required. But for ESS/MSS it is not required.

Thanks,
