Web Application Designer - Bug

Hi All,
I keep losing all my BW URL's in Web Application Designer and it is becoming very frustrating.
For some reason when I save a template after making changes it sometimes replaces all the BW URL's which I have coded with:-
<A href="[SAP_BW_URL_!IID_688]">
And I have to go through and put them all back in again.
Is there something I can do to stop this happening?
Thanks in advance.

Sean,
Actually It happened with me too once, I lost all my icons like download to excel, exception, conditions etc and then had to put that back again.
But after that I have made chnages and it didnt happen, It think it happens if you are in HTML tab at the bottom and are trying to chnage the html code, like your gif file path or something, then when you reactivate it messes some of the custom code in it. So please try to be out of HTML mode while reactivating......
I have another issue though, I have a gif file in the html code that i uploaded from MIME repository. This file has the path of dev system example sapb83.com....
sapb83 points to out dev system, now when i transport this to our Production system, while excution of query from BEX Browser, it prompts for dev passoword becasue of the gif file path being from dev..... how can this be made dynamic ??
thanks
surendra Jain
PS: SEAN, if you have upgraded to 3.5, please tell me your expereince with upgrade, we are also on 3.1 and will upgrade soon to 3.5, are there some hurdles which if i know before hand will help?? if you would like to share, my email is [email protected]

  • Problem with layout in Web Application Designer

    Hi all,
       I am working with the BEx Web Application Designer. Well, I execute a web template in the browser, click on right button and  choose enhanced menu, query properties and mark the check box Display Rows as Hierarchy and Expand to and from the list of values (combo-box) choose the last field that can be expanded.
    Once all the lines have been expanded and the layout of the template is longer than a page, we look for a line that is not in the first page and contract it. The problem is that when we contract the line, the layout shows  the first page, instead of the page where the line had been contracted. I have tried to solve this changing the properties that appear when the template is designed, but I haven´t found the solution. Is there any way so that i can solve it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mª del Mar Bonilla.

    Bonilla,
    Welcome to SDN...
    Try this out...
    In the Query designer view , right click on the rows structure and select display as hierarchy. In case this option works fine , the behavior pointed out by you could be a possible bug.
    Just update the result of what I have mentioned above...
    Hope it helps..

  • Web application designer & iframe

    hello all,
    I'm creating some templates in web application designer and I ran into a strange piece of code:
        <iframe name="I4" width="220" height="166" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" border="0" frameborder="0" style="BORDER-TOP: #ffffff 4px solid" src="[SAP_BW_URL_!IID_100]">
    any idea what this [SAP_BW_URL_!IID_100]"> is calling? Especially the IID_100 is a mystery to me, is it another template? I guess not since searching on that term does not display any results...
    thanks in advance!

    Joris,
    the src tag refers to the page the iframe refers to, this could be a template or a web page.
    What you are seeing is a bug in WAD. You can edit the HTML source and put in the correct src tag for the same and then save the template before making any changes. You should save the template first and then change it again if necessary.
    There are many other forum discussions on the same , pl refer the BeX forum...
    Hope this helps..

  • Web Application Designer thinks that script outside head is a bad idea

    Hi all,
    I am using BW Web Application Designer to create a web interface for out offshore users. I found an annoying bug in WAD that is driving me up the wall:
    When I place <script> tags within <body> (or anywhere outside <head> tags, really) in the HTML view of WAD, and change to Layout view, the automatic HTML validation places "</head><body>" tags after the terminating </script>.
    Presumably this is because WAD thinks that the scripts should be contained within the header, and the header closing and body opening tags are missing, and tries to fix this by adding them.
    Is there any way to fix this bug?

  • Web Application Designer need help ASAP

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to customize the analysis item in a web application designer.
    I have created new templetes and added a analysis with a query view as data provider .
    in the output I require to hide some rows of the query view and also change the color of the text i.e the numbers.
    How to modify the output of the analysis item which is coming from a query view or is there any way where I can modify the output of the web templete.
    Thanking You,
    Rukmini

    Dear Devi,
    If you do not want to use the default display and behavior of the Analysis Web item, you can use the Modification parameter to change them. You can modify the table structure and the table cells.
    The Modification parameter provides modules whose use can be controlled using additional parameters.
    This function enables you to use similar options to those available in earlier releases with the Web Design API for Tables. Unlike the Web Design API for Tables, modifications enable you to make targeted changes to the display and behavior without any programming.
    Prerequisites
    The modules are the main prerequisites for making modifications to the Analysis Web item. The modules are implemented in Java. The SAP Basis infrastructure in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 does not support any customer modifications or extensions to Java coding. Customers are therefore not able to develop their own modules for modifications to the Analysis Web item.
    SAP delivers a number of sample modules. You can use parameters to modify the display and behavior of these modules.
    Procedure
    You use the modules as follows:
           1.      Select a module from the sample modules.
           2.      Specify the module in the Modification parameter of the Analysis Web item.
           3.      Control the display and behavior of the module by specifying the module-specific parameters.
    Result
    The table of the Analysis Web item is displayed in an individual manner using the modules. The behavior of the table may also be different. For example, you can define commands for table cells.
    Example
    For example, you can define a fixed column width or display comments in cells.

  • How to create a date range in Web Application Designer

    I am using 3.1 version of Web App Designer.  I need to create a report with date ranges.  I can get one date to work but not two (I need a start date and end Date).  My Query has 0CALMONTH with a variable for Interval.  When I select it as a dropdown (??) in Web App Designer, I only get one date prompt in web app designer.

  • URL link in rows/colomns of a report web application designer.

    Hi,
    I would like to create a URL link in a report which jumps to documents on livelink.
    For example:
    1.  bw    30.000    www. google.nl
    2.  sap   40.000    www. sap.com
    3. basis  50.000   www. nu.nl
    etc.
    etc.
    Do all the rows have different URLS, is that possible in the web application designer? Or do I have to use RRI? Or a user exit?
    Thanks for your help en replies.
    Rishma.
    Edited by: R. Debi on Oct 7, 2010 11:20 AM

    I used the RRI already but would like to have a hyperlink in the report. (So, the prefix of the URL is always the same an I have put this in RRI and used the & and contract ID as dynamic part of the URL.)
    In a BW web report, our customer would like to display a characteristic value as a hyperlink, so that when clicking on the link, the user is taken to an external website holding a document.  SO I am just looking for a javascript perhaps? Or maybe even abap in transformation? To actually create the hyperlink in this report.
    Thanks a lot,

  • To use Web Application Designer release 2004s do we need to have portals???

    Hi
    I would like some clarity regarding whther we need a portal or not.
    If you use Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x) it works fine, you can create reports and then it shows in SAP Easy Access under favourites. Executes fine, no portal is used.
    Now when I want to use the new Web Application Designer I can not execute the reports. Gives me error
    "Java communication error: RFC destination NOT_CONFIGURED does not exist", the window it appears in has a text saying it can't conect to the portal. Then notes that I look at regarding this seems that the connection between SAP BW and Portal must be set up.
    So can please someone tell me whether you need the portal to use the new Web Application Designer release 2004s
    Thanks in advance

  • Web Application Designer: Column width on analysis_item with BW 7.0

    Hi,
    I'm new to SAP world and I have found a problem I'm not able to solve. I'm working with the Web Application Designer and I want to modify the cell properties (such as cell width) for aligning different queries. In fact, my question are:
    <b>
    1. Is it possible to hard-code/specify column widths of the analysis_item?
    2. The property width of the analysis_item doesn't work, does it?
    </b>
    Thanks for your time and efforts.

    Hi,
    I have just discovered the capability of modifying columns widths with css properties.
    So if I add to the head section of the html:
    div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr1
    div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr
    div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr2
    And later I put the AnalysisItem between a div class="prueba2" and /div, the columns widths are changed.
    Do you know where can I find all the style properties (such as urSTTDBdr1) and its functions?
    Thanks

  • Unable to open WAD (web application designer) in BW 3.5!

    Hi,
    when i open WAD through menu path (start->programs       
    ->Business explorer->Web application designer), i am getting the following error!
    WADConst
    Please log on to a Netweaver BI 7.x system. System J2E does not have the minimum version required 70005.
    I just can`t understand from where i got this BI 7.x system, when my system is BW 3.5 (NW04 platform).
    can any one expalin me what is this problem? and suggest me to over come this problem?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi!
    I assume that you installed the SAP GUI 6.40 with BI Addin (which contains the BI Frontend for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI).
    In this case, you have a sub folder underneath "Business Explorer" in your startmenu named "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)".
    You have to use this version of the BEx Web Application Designer.
    If this is not the case, please create a Support Message with all detailed information (backend and frontend versions).
    Thank you,

  • Hiding table columns in web application designer

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me how to hide the columns of a table which im using in a web application template as analysis. E.g : if i have 7 columns in my table and i dont want to show that particular column  i.e 7th and m using the same query somewhere else also to show other information so i cannot change my query but i want to hide it at web application designer level.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Preetha,
    I think best solution to your problem(keeping future enhancements in mind) is to create a query view based on the query that you are using.
    Move the unwanted characteristics to free chars section or hide the unwanted key figures.
    Then resave this query view.
    You can use this query view as a data provider to this table.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • 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.

  • Security for creating web templates using web application designer

    I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
    The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
    The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.
