We have recently upgraded from 8.03 to 9.0.6. Our hope was to roll out more of the EMSS functionality such as direct deposit, tax withholding etc. What we are finding is a need to change HTML on most of these to suit our company situation. Does anyone have a suggestion for how they track modifications to EMSS, how do you ever know with each PT, version change what you have to change etc.? The only HTML in 8.0.3 we changed were annual enrollment screens, and that was a once a year deal. Any suggestions, opinions would be appreciated. In the past we have not opened up EMSS if we had to modify because of the tracking etc., but we really want to use as much of functionality as possible.

Modifying Self Services can be very complicated. You don't have the version control as you do with the COBOL source. There are third party products that help such as SVN, but it still requires a "manual" process when applying patches.
Unfortunately when Lawson applies a patch that includes Self Services they basically send a new version of the html which if simply applied will wipe out any changes.
The process I use is back up the old directory, apply the patch, then use a product called CompareIt that allows me to view the old source next to the new source and with relative ease apply the changes from one to the other.

So is it "always" only changed with EMSS PT's, or do they sometimes package those changes with other PT's? I am trying to get a handle on having a way to know that I need to recheck the Self Service Apps and we have never found a good technical doc that Lawson puts out that for sure tells us what we need to retest. Thank you for the response you provided, that helped a lot. Any suggestions for determining with each patch if we would need to reapply our mods?

Tracy, I've done extensive mods in this area, including addition of fields and tables for benefits elections. Shoot me an email -- I'll be happy to help if I can.

No, they are not always standalone. Some times an application patch can include the html as can an environment patch.
Every patch does contain a list of files changed so you will know if xhrnet or xbnnet will be modified when applied.
You probably want to keep a document with the files and their location for each mod you create.

I usually copy and paste the description of the patch that i am downloading to a text file. It has a list of files it replaces. then check against my list of customized files.If there's a match, then I would know manual work would be needed to re-customize.
