BI Web Template Caching on EP server

Hello,
We are developing BI web templates in the BI Web Application Designer and then previewing (via publishing) them with the EP web server. When we make a change to the report/template and republish/preview it to the EP server, the old version remains in the EP web server cache.
Also to note, this is PRIOR to creating BI iviews and incorporating them in EP, so our assumption is that the cache settings in EP iviews do not apply in this case, but that it a broader issue with the EP web server or application itself.
So far, we have tried clearing the overall PCD EP cache under sys admin support section and that does not work. The only way to get the latest content to show up via preview/republish is to restart the EP instance which clears the cache.
Is there any other place cache can be cleared or a setting that will allow the BI previewer and ALL content (i.e. iviews as well) to ALWAYS get the latest and greatest version??
Thanks in advance for any help.

hi Dave,
cpl of questions are you on a federated network or are you using any proxy to access the portal? usually it will be slightly delayed some times based on the proxy cache. how are you adding the reports to role through delta link or copy?
When using the portal cache, data updates can appear with a delay.
pls go through the following link it may help you.

  • Trays within web template expanded automatically on server roundtrip

    Hi Folks!
    We have a problem with our web templates. Our templates were built with the Web Application Designer (WAD) and they contain trays which should be closed (collapsed) by default.
    Our Problem:
    Since the system was patched to SAPKW70018 the trays within the web application are rendered in expanded state automatically whenever an action is called that requires a server roundtrip.
    For example: When one tray is being expanded (and it's update type is not set to passive) all other trays are expanded as well. Closing a tray leaves the other ones open. Closing another tray reopens the tray that has been closed before. Performing some action within the analysis item opens the trays as well, since most of them require roundtrips.
    This behaviour only occurs under the Internet Explorer. Firefox and WebKit Browsers seem to perform well.
    In hope for help and thanks in advance !

  • Caching web templates using the portal cache - experiences

    Hi,
    To improve performance, I would like to cache a (7.0) web template in the portal. I adjusted the iView by changing the following fields:
    Cache Level to shared
    Cache Validity Period to 1 hour
    However, the template still takes 10 seconds to load, the same time as before.
    The template doesn't have a variable screen that is shown (all variables are optional), so according to note 1002778 'Caching in the Enterprise Portal' there doesn't seem te be a problem.
    Do you have suggestions why it doesn't work, and if there steps I could perform to make it working?
    Cheers,
    Daniel

    Hi,
    Finally SAP OSS has answered me on portal caching in BI 7.0. From their reaction:
    "In the new Portal infrastructure in NetWeaver 7.0 the iView properties
    for iView portal caching are not evaluated by BI as it was in BW 3.5.
    In 3.5 portal infrastructure this feature had special implementation
    which was evaluated as not situable for the NW 7.0 infrastructure.
    The iView properties are visible, even if they do not fit to BI
    iViews as we do not have the possiblity to switch off this visibility
    for some types of iViews.
    Nevertheless, some parts like Web Templates, Web Items are stored
    in the cache on Java Server and are reused when the same Template
    is loaded again.
    So in 7.0 we do not have functionality like in 3.x for storing of
    the generrated HTML. As of my knowladge, there is no workaround for
    that (besides what you have mentioned."
    So we'll have to wait for the BO stuff, which has pretty good pre-calculations options which can serve as cache.
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

  • How to Cache a Web Template in RRI scenario

    Hi,
    We have used RRI functionality to one of our requirements where in user can look at Territory wise info first and can drill down to any specific territory for Dealer wise info. We have used Control Query to cache Dealer info based on all the territories. However, when user drills down from Territory to Dealer, system is not using the cache alreay created by the control query and resulting into slow response time.
    Any thoughts on how to cache the Dealer info in this scenario? Any valuable input is appreciated.

  • Filling Cache for a Web Template

    HI Folks,
    We are in BI7.0. We have some reports which are taking huge amount of time to get executed. So we would like to fill the OLAP cache for these reports. I know the concept of pre calculating web templates in BW3.5. I am not sure, whether do we have to adopt the same concept here in BI7.0 or not?
    Please let us know which process better suits our requirement in BI7.0 and provide the steps to perform it accordingly.
    Any links, documents or PDFs on this topic are most welcome.
    Many thanks.

  • Automation of Pre-Caching of Web Templates.

    Hi all,
    In our project where the BW version is BI7.0 we run cache jobs manually by triggering them through sm37. These jobs cache the web-templates for a set of queries to improve the query performance. The steps we follow are:
    1. Delete Cache from rsrcache tcode
    2. Trigger first job through sm37
    3. On completion of first job trigger second job through sm37 only.
    Now to avoid this manual intervention we have automate the process. Our aim is to atleast automate steps 2 and 3 of above 3 steps.
    Can anyone please give me a few pointers on how I can automate these jobs in a process chain?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nishant.

    Nishant,
    can you pls tell me how are you caching the web templates in BI 7.0? I am trying a lot but not able to find any good solution to cache my entire web template. my WAD report is a dashboard wth lots of good graphics features. Using lots of web items. My query is very fast but WAD report is slow for the 1st time.....any suggestions here????

  • How to Execute a Web Template Without Using the Cache?

    Hi All,
    I am trying to execute a webt emplate to determine performance and optimisation. The trick is that the web template starts using the cache. Is there any way to turn off the cache for the web template? Maybe using a URL parameter or something?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

    Hi,
    You can do it thru RSRT, choosing HTML, the query and the template, then in the menu you have to check the box dont use cache, aggragates and BIA.

  • Error on page from BW 3.5's default web template

    Hi Guru's,
    We have a problem in our new BWD BW 3.5 environment where we are getting the "error on page" error from SAP-generated code and we aren’t sure why.
    On our old BWT BW 3.0b platform, we have been using a modified version of the 0query_template called Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE. We did a system copy of BWT to BWD, our new BW 3.5 platform. At that point in time we would see our old BW 3.5 default template for queries that we ran. We wanted to see what the new default web template looked like in BW 3.5. We found where we could remove the Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE from the Web Adhoc Analysis web template setting so we could see the new features of the BW 3.5 default BEx query designer template instead of our old BW 3.0b default template.
    Now when we run a query through the BW 3.5 query designer on BWD, we are using BW3.5’s default template. The prompt web page is fine. No errors on page messages.
    However, the initial presentation of the query results displays okay, but shows "error on page" in the message bar at the bottom of the displayed page. As soon as we do any navigation on those query results that error on page goes away. If we navigate back to the initial presentation, all is still okay. If we use the context menu to go back to start, we again get the error on page.
    This error on page does not happen in BQ2 (our new BW 3.5 QA environment copied from our old BW 3.0b QA environment where we had not yet changed the default BEx Query Designer template to be Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE). We have tried several queries and in each case, we get errors on page in BWD, but not in BQ2. We used ultraedit to compare the view source output from the equivalent web pages from BWD and BQ2 and the only difference is the validity date of the data. There are no other differences in the javascript code generated by BW in the two platforms.
    The statement that Internet Explorer is saying is the problem is the same in each of the cases we have checked and that is:
    SAPBWSetFocus(anchor);
    Error: Object expected
    Code: 0
    It’s in the set_tab() function.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    /* Calls the online Documentation via technical QueryName */
    function callquerydoc() {
      var docustart= '/sap/bw/doc/meta/fldmeta/default?tlogo=elem&objnm=' + document.getElementById('querydoc').innerHTML;
      SAPBWOpenWindow(docustart,'Documentation',800,600);
    /* Sets the displayed tab */
    /* Check, which items of the Array check_items  is not hidden.
        Change the style of the HTML tag with id Group+Area/Group+Link */
    function set_tab() {
         if (!(navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == '4' && navigator.appName == 'Netscape')) {
           var check_items = new Array('GR1Toolbar','GR2Chart','GR3TECommon','GR4Broadcaster');
        for (i=0;i<check_items.length;i++) {
                        hidden = true;
                       prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(check_items<i>);
                       if (prop != null){
                                           for(j=1;j<prop.length;j++){
                                                      if (prop[j][0] == "HIDDEN")  hidden = (prop[j][1] == "X");
                   anchor_item = document.getElementById(check_items<i>.substring(0,3)+'Area').firstChild;
                    if (hidden) {
                        document.getElementById(check_items<i>.substring(0,3)+'Area').className='SAPBEXTbsTab';
                        anchor_item.title = 'Inactive Tab Page:' + ' ' + anchor_item.title; 
                    else {
                        document.getElementById(check_items<i>.substring(0,3)+'Area').className='SAPBEXTbsTabSel';
                        anchor_item.title = 'Active Tab Page:' +' ' + anchor_item.title; 
              } /* if */
          }   /* for */
        /* Set the BexHeader invisible when running as IView */
            if (SAPBWGetProperty('RUNS_AS_IVIEW')) {
                               document.getElementById('bexheader').style.visibility='hidden';
                               document.getElementById('bexheader').style.display='none';
              anchor = window.location.hash.substring(1,50);
              <b>SAPBWSetFocus(anchor);</b>
      }  /*function */
    -->
    </script>
    Because the error goes away as soon as we navigate I’m thinking some object isn’t being created or initialized, but since the view source code of these pages are identical I’m wondering if there is some code that should be executing before this page that is not happening in BWD for some reason.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeri

    Heike,
    Thanks for your help in this. BWD and BQ2 are both on the same SP. SAP_BW release 350 level 10 (SAPKW35010) with BI_CONT at release 352 level 5 (SAPKIBIEP5).
    I invalidated the server cache following your instructions and tried again, but am still having the same problem in BWD. The initial display gets the "Done, but with errors on page" message until any navigation is done.
    I am using IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 when I execute queries on both BWD and BQ2.
    Please, do you have any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jeri

  • Bex iView does not show changes made in web templates

    Hello,
    I have a Bex iView that presents a web template which is exposed in two portals.
    I made a certain change in the web template in portal A and I can see the change through the Bex iView in this portal.
    I than transfered the change to portal B and I can see this change at the Web application designer's code when it is connected to portal B.
    The problem is that I can't see the change through the Bex iView in portal B, it keeps presenting the old version of the web template. Also, if I preview it from WAD, which opens it in the portal, it shows the old version as well.
    <b>I've already tried/verified the following:</b>
    1. It's not a client related issue as it happens to all clients.
    2. I have tried clearing both the client and the portal's pcd caches.
    3. No cache whatsoever is configured in this iView's properties (Cache Level: None, Cache Validity Period: 0,0,0,-1, Allow Client-Side Caching: No).
    4. When I run the iView in debug mode in the application integrator I can't see anything unusual I can think of. Also, I can see there that it points to the correct web template.
    5. Retransported the web template from server A to server B.
    What else can be done here? Any ideas...?

    Hello,
    did you resolve your problem ?

  • Clearing Template Cache

    I am running Coldfusion Developer Edition and Dreamweaver
    CS3, and I have a problem with getting an error message when saving
    a page multiple times during testing. I will save the file, tweak
    it, and save it again. I even get it sometimes when trying to
    export images from Fireworks. After a few times I try to save it
    again and get a couple of different error messages. I sometimes get
    the message when trying to transfer the file to my web host server.
    Sometimes it is just "Unable to complete operation' and sometimes
    it says that the file is open in another application which it
    isn't. In reading I learned that this has to do with clearing the
    template cache. Whenever it happens I go to the Administrator,
    click on clear template cache now, and it always fixes the problem.
    That is a workaround that allows me to get the job done, but it is
    a huge hassle, and I often have to do it before every save. I have
    played with the maximum number of cached templates and the trusted
    templates option to no avail. It is making me crazy. Does anybody
    have a solution?
    Just for the record I am a medium level user so answers need
    to be understandable by humans. :-:

    If your webserver is public facing, its possible that the
    page got hit by a search engine spider. Or if you CF file name is
    something easy to guess (like index.cfm or admin.cfm) if could be
    script kiddies trying to footprint your server. Or it could be some
    other software package (we have the same problem with
    WebTrends)

    pinky

    Just to add.
    WAD templates are stored as HTML in the HTTP cache.
    Whenever you make changes to the template - it is good practice to delete / invalidate the HTTP Server cache.
    This can be done from
    SMICM --> Goto (menu bar ) --> HTTP Server cache --> Invalidate --> GLobal
    ust to make this thread complete..
    However this is usually done for 3.x web templates since they run off the ABAp stack - not too sure about the JAVA stack - guess portal cache has to be cleared too..

  • The Web Templates precalculation via abap

    Hi SAP Experts,
    Today I'm looking for a solution for wbts percalculation. Now we are using precalculation of queries by a process chain with abap fms RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES. Unfortunatelly some of wbts have dropdownboxes filters based on characteristic, so when you call a wbt you need to wait for a loading data to those filters. I'm wondering if it's possible to open web template via for example abap code.

    Suman,
      I have performed the below steps today once again and now WAD changes are reflecting in report output.Thanks for your time.
    1) Cleared IE Browser Cache
    2) Transaction code SMICM  -> Menu Bar -> Go to -> HTTP Server Cache -> Invalidate -> Global in system
    3) Portal team has cleared cache in portal.
    4) Ran the FM RSWR_CACHE_INVALIDATE -> Enter the System ID(DEV) as RFC Target system.
