  • Unable to create visual composer table view from the Bex Query

    Hi
    I am trying to create the visual composer lay out from a Bex query. The Bex query contains a set of Key figures and a structure.
    These key figure and structure combination is forming a table in the query output. Key figure parameters are coming as rows and Structure parameters are coming as columns.
    example query out put:
    Total, HPC, FDS excel ICe etc are as Structure elements and coming as columns in query out put and
    Invoice value, Gross sale value, Efficient operations etc are as Key figure elements in query and coming as rows in query out put.
    But if I map this query to visual composer table view all these are coming as columns as given below.
    Total Invoice value ,             Total Gross sale value,    Total Efficient operations,      HPC Invoice vale,.........
    And if execute the query will giving the out put in single row.
    Can anybody help me out to map this in the row column format?
    Is it really possible to do in VC?
    I am using CE 7.2. The VC model I need to be embedding in BPM.
    Please help me to solve this issue. I completely stuck up this issue.

    Hi,
    Try to use some function module which will convert query data into flat tables. (eg., RS_VC_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA_FLAT).
    Hope this solves your 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

  • Call a web template with default parameter in  BEx Web Application D

    In BEx Web Application Designer, As in traditional way. Assume that I have a query which have parameters. When I create a web template using this query and excute it. the first page is displayed and I should input the parameters at this page(for example: "Period/Fiscal"). after I input the data and press Enter key. the <b>reporting page</b> is displayed.
    And Now I hope I can run the template at another way: the template should <b>direct go to the reporting page</b> with the preset parameters (for example: "Period/Fiscal = 2005.006").
    thanks

    Hi,
    Alternatively you may use command URL, to enforce the variable value during calling up the web template. For example:
    http://yourAppServer:yourPort/SAP/BW/BEx?CMD=LDOC&template_id=yourTemplate&var_name_1=myParameterVariable&var_value_ext_1=4711
    In the implementation you may create a web template that redirect the URL to above reporting link, so the user will directly see your reporting page.
    For detail you may check in the WAD documentation.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

    hi shambhu,
    thanks for the reply, yes its related to basis but they are unable to trace it out. is SP9 support Bex Report Designer and Bex WAD??

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

    Hello,

    It says that something is wrong with "BI Mastersystem" because of failed connect to

    Please advice me what I should do.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Oscar

    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.

  • BEx Web Applications in BPS Web Interfaces

    Hi all,
    I need to make a BPS web interface which enables the business user to see data in the BW system while posting the budget items in BPS. This is to be done in the Web, and I have therefore tried to implement a solution for the customer following the instructions in the HowTo-paper: "How To.... Integrate BEx Web Applications into BPS Web Interfaces".
    The report is displayed when the interface is executed, but the variable which I have included in the code does NOT have any effect on the BW query (which is a surprise to me) but rather only on the BPS Web Interface (which is no surprise to me).
    The above results in two questions:
    - What part of this code needs to be changed for the variable to take effect on the BW query as well as the BPS Web Interface:
    <iframe
        id="BWReport01"
        name="BWQUERY"
        src="/sap/bw/BEx?
        cmd=ldoc&TEMPLATE_ID=ALLOK_CHECK2"
        width="1200"
        height="600">
        Frames are not supported
    </iframe>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
        var frame  = document.getElementByld( 'BWReport03' );
        var url    = '/sap/bw/BEx?cmdldoc&TEMPLATEID=';
        var filter = '&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PROFIT_CTR&FILTER_COLLAPS=&FILTER_VALUE_EXT=';
        var '1000/'  = '';
        var appl   = 'ALLOK_CHECK2';
        var varvl  = '%=descr(VarvlSel1_pctr/value)%>';
        var convert = /\((.*)\)/;
        convert.exec(varvl);
        if ( RegExp.$1 != "") varvl = RegExp.$1;
        url = url + appl + filter + comp + varvl;
        url = url.replace(/ /,"");
        frame.src = url;
    </script>
    Particular areas where I am in doubt (in squared brackets):
    [  var '1000/'  = ''; ]
    [  var convert = /\((.*)\)/; ]
    - has anyone had any experience in using the Selector Package (SEL_PACKAGE) rather than the Selector Variable Value (SEL_VARVL)? In case you have, how is it implemented in the HTML-code?
    Looking forward to hearing from you guys soon.
    Best regards
    Rune Rygaard

    Hi Rune,
    Here's what I found - I'm not sure it will solve your problem, but maybe it can give you some hints:
    <b><iframe
    id="BWReport01"
    name="BWQUERY"
    src="/sap/bw/BEx?
    cmd=ldoc&TEMPLATE_ID=ALLOK_CHECK2"
    width="1200"
    height="600">
    Frames are not supported
    </iframe></b>
    I think the section above in bold has to be deleted and replaced by the one specified in section 3.3 of the how to paper: <iframe id=BWReport03" name="BWQUERY" src="/sap/bw/mime/....</iframe>. The reason is the your defintion will display the report, but will not take any variables into consideration.
    Furthermore you're missing a '=' in your code (cmd=ldoc) - I marked it in bold below. What you could also do was to add an alert to display the URL generated by the javascript. I added that in bold as well. That can give you an idea of whats missing.
    Hope this helps,
    Jacob Lund - DK :o)
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    var frame = document.getElementByld( 'BWReport03' );
    var url = '/sap/bw/BEx?<b>cmd=ldoc</b>&TEMPLATEID=';
    var filter = '&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PROFIT_CTR&FILTER_COLLAPS=&FILTER_VALUE_EXT=';
    var '1000/' = '';
    var appl = 'ALLOK_CHECK2';
    var varvl = '%=descr(VarvlSel1_pctr/value)%>';
    var convert = /\((.*)\)/;
    convert.exec(varvl);
    if ( RegExp.$1 != "") varvl = RegExp.$1;
    url = url + appl + filter + comp + varvl;
    url = url.replace(/ /,"");
    <b>alert (url);</b>
    frame.src = url;

  • Bex Web Application designer 3.x  windows 7

    Good Morning,
    Im trying to use Bex Web Application Designer SAP BW 3.x doenst working at windows 7.
    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...

  • Inclusion of BEx Web Applications as Single iView into a federated NW2004s

    Hi,
    GA limitation says "Inclusion of BEx Web Applications as Single iView into a federated NW2004s Portal". but at the same time, note 853505 says
    NetWeaver 2004s  BEx Web Applications Java in a NetWeaver 2004s Federated Portal Scenario
    NetWeaver 2004s  Ex Web Applications Java in a NetWeaver 2004s Federated Portal Scenario is not supported.
    This restriction is no longer valid.
    fixed with SP07
    ( Changed at 06.04.2006 )
    what does the sentence of GA limitation mean?
    Kind regards,
    Masaaki

    Hi Prakash,
    I have to implement federated portal and have to share the BW reports with BEA portal. In this scenario SAP EP 7.0-sp9 is the producer and BEA portal is consumer. I have created SAP bw iview in EP and want to share these iview with BEA. Doing so I will use the "WSRP based content sharing" feature of federated portal.
    I found the link for this configuartion in help site. If you have already implemented this and if you have step by step  guide to implement this, please pass it to me. It will be helpful to me. I will award the points.
    I did not get any document on how a BEA portal can register with SAP EP.
    Also, what WSDL path should I provide to BEA portal?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Different bar colors (BEx Web Application Designer)

    Hi SAP experts,
    I searched a while for my problem, but haven't found something. So I decided to post a new thread.
    I've a chart in BEx Web Application and like to set the color in subject to there values.
    For example: 12 bars for month 1 to 12, if the value is more than 100 set color bar red and if it's less than 100 set bar color to green.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Nico Warkentien

    Thanks for help,
