its ask one version above ie 5.
Im using ie 8, i cant install the ie 7.
there is anyway i solve this problem?
i patched of last support package, even it not working
thank u
regards,
Amit

Dear Amit,
unfortunately I get the same error here when I try to run the WAD 3.5 under Windows 7. I only can hope that there will be a work around, as SAP will officially support Win7 only with SAPGui 7.20 which will be released in Q1 next year. I did not get any information that BW 3.5 will still be included in Gui 7.20, but probably someone who is reading the forum from SAP can provide an answer...
Another strange thing which I discovered in Win7 is, that when I execute a query and the variable screen is displayed, most of my variable descriptions are missing. When I toggle back and forth some windows everything appears correctly. So I guess that (hopefully) the display device driver needs only another update...
Regards,
Andreas

Bex Web Application Designer issue: portal communication error

hi experts,
I am working with Bex Web Application Designer in BI7. we are using SP9. When i try to use the Web template its giving below error.
The Requested operation could not be performed due to portal communication error.
its message class is RSBOPLAP and message number is 018 and description is Java System error: An unknown error occured During portal communication.
when i double click the below error details given.
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the BI components on the SAP J2EE Engine.
System Response
Procedure
Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.
Procedure for System Administration
Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose "<J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log Viewer under "Cluster <computer name>" -> "Server <server number>" -> "<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<INSTANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<NUMBER>\log". ". In Unix, the file is located under "/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NUMBER>/log".
If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "<J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" -> "webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the log level with the most information. You can save your settings by choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the overall performance of the system.
please give solutions to resolve the issue.

I get 'SAP BEx web Application designer has stopped workin' when click WAD

Hi,
When I click on WAD(Web Application Designer option from Business Explorer menu),
I get "SAP BEx web Application designer has stopped working".
I am running VISTA.
Any hints on how to deal with this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
I uninstalled and installed again the GUI and Bex Explorer
I installed again SetUpAll.exe and selected:
--SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 (Compilations3)
--BW 3.50 Add-On for SAP GUI 7.10
--Business Explorer
On completion, I had two options for WAD:
--Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x)
--Web Application Designer
When I point my mouse on "Web Application Designer " for selection, there is a message that
"Business Explorer Web Application Designer - Can only be used in SAP NetWeaver 7.1"
and when I go ahead to click on it, I get the error message I reported in my initial post
If I select Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x), it takes me in alright but the view is a bit different, in that in the New template of the Web Application, on the right pane, I do not see the icon for DataProvider which used to be there when I used to work in "Web Application Designer" instead of "Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x)"
Any hints?
Thanks

Calling a webservice from within Bex Web Application Designer

Hi
I have a web-template built with BEx web application designer which also contains textboxes. This text should be stored by calling a webservice (standard BI-documents are not an option).
Can anyone tell me how I could call a webservice from within the BEx web template to store the text contained in the textbox? The webservice-call should include some of the filter-varialbes of the web application.
Is this only possible by the use of a JavaScript WebItem? If so - does anyone have an example of such a JavaScript.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards.
Christoph

Thanks for your response. The BSP page would work out fine if I only needed to save the data.
But the next time I call the webtemplate, the textarea should be filled by another webservice call with the stored text (so the text can be modified und saved again). This will not be possible by calling a BSP page.
Do yoiu have any suggestions how to integrate the text (return value from the webservice call) into the textbox in the webtemplate?
Kind regards.
Christoph

Print PDF file with the lay out created in the BEx web application designer

Got the following questions (problems) when print a web report created in BEx Web Application Designer to a PDF file:
1. The tile (which has a company logo and report name in it) was not printed, is it possible to print a title (with company logo) on each page of the PDF file?
2. Want print the filters that have value specified on the PDF file, is it possible to do this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Simon,
you can achieve this requirement i.e. using this way of implementation:
1. Create a new template which contains the required fields (company logo etc) and set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template and add the filter values (variable names) you want to display on the PDF. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item.
3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly.
Brgds,
Marcel

RSBOLAP 018 Java system error in BEx Web Application Designer

while doing inside BEX Web Application Designer "validation of webtemplate" with

Please advice me what I should do.
Thanks in advance

Hello
It is obvious that the connection between the ABAP and the Java is not working.
There should be a JCo RFC from the portal side to the ABAP stack set up and an RFC from the ABAP stack to the portal.
Check the entries of the table RSPOR_T_PORTAL
The RFC specified here should be the one mentioned above (ABAP - Java)
Check the name of the system should be SAP_BW
Is the parameter icm/host_name_full set on the ABAP stack with the domain name ?
Connect to the BI portal:
http://FQDN:5NN00/irj/portal
Navigate to system administration -> system configuration -> system landscape -> expand "portal content" -> systemlandscape -> SAP_BW
Right click on SAP_BW - Open - Object
Here you need to maintain these:
ITS Description - BW ABAP Logical System Name - Tx SCC4 or BD54
ITS Host Name - FQDN_OF_BW_ABAP:port - You can use the value of icm/host_name_full parameter and retrieve port number from Tx SMICM - Services
ITS Path - /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
ITS Protocol - Select http
Logical System Name - BW ABAP Logical System Name - Tx SCC4 or BD54
Logon Method -SAPLOGONTICKET
Message server - BW ABAP FQDN
SAP Client - BW ABAP Client Number
SAP System ID (SID) - BW ABAP SID
Server Port - 39NN
Web AS Description - BW ABAP Logical System Name - Tx SCC4 or BD54
Web AS Host Name - FQDN_OF_BW_ABAP:port - icm/host_name_full and retrieve port number from Tx SMICM - Services
Web AS Path - /sap/bw/BEx
If everything is set properly then do a test connection.
Good Luck

XCelsius + BICS + Publish to EP + BEx Web Application Designer

Dear Friends,
Any one have idea about how we can publish an XCelsius Dashboard (with BICS connectivity) to the SAP Enterprise portal using Bex Web Application Designer?
I tried to publish the dashboard using the iView, by following the below link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofanXcelsiusdashboardinNetWeaverEnterprisePortal
Since it can only support individual report, I can not use this option in my client.
Appreciate your help to provide me the information how we can publish the dashboard using Bex Web Application Designer.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajish George

Hi,
Did creating the iView using the instructions in the link work for one Xcelsius report? Can you explain what you requirement is or expand on your comment "Since it can only support individual report, I can not use this option in my client.". One iView can only launch one object. If you have multiple BW connected XC files to launch I think that you will have to create multiple iViews with the "DASHBOARD=" each XC file value in each iViews BEx Web iView query string parameter setting.
If you only want one link off of your Portal then you could create a BW 7.0 Web application where you could use objects like buttons to launch each individual URL string for the seperate dashboards. The challenge with this would be that your URLs would be static and if you are using a regular BW landscape, DEV / QAS / PRD, then you would need to employ logic find and update the system part of the URL. I am not sure how this would be done, but it would probably require JavaScript. If you do report development in your PRD system this would not be an issue.
From a support perspective I would suggest using a container iView to group your XC reports together and then create a seperate iView for each XC report. This eliminates dealing with the system identifier as the Portal enviroment manages this as the objects are transported through the systems. A container iView with the action iViews in it would look like a menu structure on your Portal.

Bex Web Application Designer launched from desktop NOT SSO (single sign-on)

NW 2004s
BI 7.0
The SSO from the Portal to BI/BW is working correctly, The SSO from BI/BW to the POrtal is working correctly.
The problem is from the desktop, launching Bex Web Application DEsigner, it prompts to Logon to the BI system, then when you execute the selection it prompts you to log on to the Portal. I would expect the Portal logon to be SSO. Is there an SSO option for the Bex WAD I need ?
Is there a Bex tool or desktop configuration that I need to implement?
Thanks in advance for any help

BEx Web Application Designer old tool?

Hi,
Someone told me that BEx Web Application Designer is an old tool that's not used anymore. And that Visual Composer and Web Dynpro are better tools to use. Is this correct?
Also, I was wondering if anyone could explain the difference between BEx Web Application Designer, Visual Composer and Web Dynpro. What situations do one use the different tools?
Kind regards,
Maria Perez

Maria
Welcome to SDN
Bex Web Application is not an old tool and it is widley used for Web Reporting.
Actually the purpose of these three tools are different so all of them are extensively used.
Please see the following links for more details

Bex Web application designer

Hi all,
I have to customize a report that has been generated by the Bex Web application designer. The report is available on our portal under "Business Intelligence" > "Business explorer" > "Bex Portfolio".
I need to understand the technical context. The generated report, is it a BSP? If yes, where can I find it in BW (which name)? I already know that in transaction RSRT I can retrieve the name of an ABAP program that has been generated by Bex, but I don't manage to figure out what it's used for.
Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to add a contextmenu item 'do sth'. When the user rightclicks on a cell in the BW report & chooses 'do sth', an existing iView should be opened with some parameters that are dependent on where the user clicked in the report. Can all this be achieved in the WAD?
Edit: I've been reading the WAD help and it seems to be possible using javascript. I'll open a new thread for more info on retrieving the parameter values.
Thanks,
Jeroen

Bex Web Application Designer 3.5

Hello, I am having trouble publishing a web template using Web Application Designer 3.5. Our BW version is 7.0. The underlying query in the Web App. is still 3.5.   After editing it..I did a "save" and "Publish in Role".   When I look at the report on the portal, it shows up as garbage.   Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Dear Sam,
Theer are several problems with WAD 3.x.
Please, review these notes below:
note 1390941 -   Incomprehensible characters when executing 3.X Web template
          To remove this entry you can't use the WAD. Please logon to the BW
          backend system and execute the report "RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN" (via
          transaction SE38). Open the template and manually remove the mentioned
          tag.
note 1391689 -   WAD 3.x is not supported in MS Windows 7
This should solve the issue.

Where is the Command Wizard in BEx Web Application Designer(WAD) 7.0

Hi,
I am new to SAP and BEx Web App Designer and am reading through the help about the so-called Command Wizard. I have looked all over the app and I see nothing called a Command Wizard.
I am I missing something obvious or is this buried somewhere in the app?
Based on how much it is mentioned in the help, I would assume it should be somewhere visible.
Brian

Hi,
"Command Wizard". When you design Web template one of your web item called ' Button ' have this ' Command Wizard'.
Go to Button properties -
select internal display-----select list of button---there you will find action Command trigger-----Command Wizard.
