WD4A and Self Services

[Former Member]

Interested to know who has successfully built custom WD4A applications for Employee Self Service or Manager Self Service, and roughly how you went about building and integrating them into the standard XSS Homepage Framework in EP.

There have been lots of questions asked about this in different forum threads, and while there have been suggestions that it would be possible, there don't appear to be too many success stories posted yet.

Thanks for responding Raja.

Can you tell us what sort of ESS applications you have built, how complex they were (e.g. displaying vs updating data) and roughly how long they took?

I don't expect you to provide step by step details, but any information you can provide us mere functionals will be enlightening and appreciated.

Hi John,

Well we have developed custom applications for a couple of custom infotypes. Well, one was quiet complex....with around 50+ fields for input ... We followed the standard model...Like Road map control as in standards....A simple application took me only 3 days, and a complex application with many validations(arnd 50+) took me around 2 weeks. So now you can decide the complexity. Once you have one application with Roadmap control in hand, it shouldnt take much time.

And also, if you are looking for Workflow integration, then it may take some little more time for Web Dynpro development.

Hi Rajasekhar,

please let me know when developing ESS using WDA, have you used your own cutom RFC's?

is there any way to use the existing XSS objects?

Thanks!
