Three questions about visual composer?

Hi all,
1. what is the relationship between "visual composer and "visual composer BI kit"? what else elements do we need to add on top of visual composer in order to make visual composer BI kit?
2. If we only do visual composer, the only thing we can't accomplish is the BI query wizard in visual compuser menu, right?
3. After creating backend SAP BW system connection via BI JAVA CONNECTOR, why do we still need to create backend SAP BW system connection via SAP BI CONNECTOR?
I went through Scott Cairncross' PDF file "Know how network call SAP Visual Composer & BI kit" and have the three questions above.
George

ad 1) BI Kit is a kind of plugin to VC (like the plugins in Eclipse). Today VC and BI Kit are shipped together. Once you have VC, you also have the BI Kit.
ad 2) BI Kit offers:
- connectivity to JDBC, ODBO, XMLA, SAP Query and SAP BI directly
- BI Integration Wizard (to create models in a wizard style)
- MDX, SQL Editors
ad 3) The "direct" BI connection uses RFC-calls to BI and offers you more features, like Variables, Queries, query-views, infoobjects, favourites, history, URL port, etc. You can also connect to a SAP BI system via the XMLA-connector. A relational connector (like it is done in the portal) would only give you access to masterdata (infoobjects), but not infocube data.

Hi,
There is no need of Special steps to install VC.
VC will come by default with EP Usage type.
if your Portal URL is : http://<domain:port>/irj then its corresponding VC will be http://<domain:port>/VC (Capital letters).
and if you are gettingpermissions problme then assaign the VC role to the user with which you had loged in to the portal i useradministration.

Visual Composer - dynamic entry list in a form

Hi everybody,
I have a question about Visual Composer (NW7.1).
My goal is it to create a dynamic form within VC iView. As data source I want to use (reads) values from a customizing table and displayed them in a drop down menu. After selecting a drop down value, all its elements shall be presented dynamic in a form. My question is if VC is supporting that technically or not. I have tried different approaches but it is not working.
Does anybody have some suggestions???
For example:
To show all customer data in a form, I set a reference in my customizing table that refers to my KNA1 table. If I want to show all suppliers data, I want to refer to my customizing with a reference to table LFA1. The form should display all the elements of KNA1 or LFA1. Is something like that technically possible?? HELP!
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Anja,
you understood me correct. However this was just an example.
1. Having some drop down list to select an entry.
--> in this drop down list there should be master data objects e.g. customers, suppliers, ...
2. Depending on the entry you like to display a form either filled with values of KNA1 table or LFA1 table.
--> If I choose customers all information should be displayed in the form. If I choose suppliers all supplier's information should be displayed in the form.
My task and my goal is it to use a customizing table in which I save SAP BI InfoObject. In my drop down menu I want to be able to select one of these object (e.g. customer master data). In the next step there should be a dynamic list for my form. That means if I change my object by selecting another drop down item - it will be automatically change the list entries from my new object
How can I do that?
Thank you so much.

Showing Visual composer iviews within Web Page Composer (wpc)?

I am able to integrate KM iviews from the PCD into my web page composer pages, but when I try showing Flex 2 iviews generated by Visual Composer the flash runs on top of everything else on the page. The flash is simply put at page coordinates 0 x 0 whatever page region you try to put it in.
This is if iview isolation methold is set to embedded. If iview isolation method is set to URL then nothing is shown as the region is simply collapsed as if the content wasn't there.
I know there is a limitation to using Web Dynpro iviews with WPC pages, but the documentation says nothing about Visual Composer iviews.
Tips?
Henning Strand

Fixed by choosing fixed height for the iview (pcd config) and keeping isolation method set to URL.
This is as opposed to integrating KM iviews (document lists) where isolation method should be set to embedded and height kept to automatic.
Cheers
Henning

VC is a modeling tool. This tool enables business experts/developers to quickly create business application , without coding. It mainly helps business experts to come up with a working application in very less time and decreases the dependency/cost on developers.
How it helps your project ?
This answer can change from person to person. A project manager can look at it as a faster development path (decreases cost) , as it comes with a rich UI ... etc
You can create iViews and use them as portal content.

Hi Veera...
Below links will helps you to get all the info...
Visual Composer produces applications in a declarative form, thereby enabling completely code-free execution mode for multiple runtime environments. It provides full application lifecycle support by maintaining the connection between an application and its model throughout its lifecycle. Visual Composer is designed with an open architecture, which enables developers to extend its design-time environment and modelling language, as well as to integrate external data services.
As a result, Visual Composer modelers increase productivity by reducing their development effort time from weeks and months to days. Domain experts gain the means to express their requirements directly rather than conveying them to developers. This narrows the gap between application definition and implementation.
Starting with a blank canvas, the Visual Composer user draws the application in Visual Composer Storyboard (workspace), without writing a single line of code. Since no traditional programming skills are needed, business process experts can prototype, design and produce entire applications.
A typical workflow for creating, deploying and running an application using Visual Composer is:
Create a model
Discover data services and add them to the model
Select necessary UI elements and add them to the model
Connect model elements to define the model logic and data flow
Edit the layout
Arranging the UI elements and the controls of the application on forms and tables.
Deploy the model
This step includes compilation, validation and deployment to a selected environment.
Run the application
The application can run using different runtime environment (such as Adobe Flex and HTML)
Visual Composer Design board : The model contains a form in which the user enters data, a data service that receives the input values, and an output table that displays the results returned by the data service.
Visual Composer Layout board : The application contains a Search input form with an input field and a button that transfers data to the data service. The data retrieved from the data service is displayed in the Results table.
The application generated by Visual Composer : Visual Composer used Adobe Flex as a runtime in this screenshot, generated the application and integrated it into SAP Enterprise Portal

Error while making iview with visual composer

I am trying to make an iview usign visual composer.
In the document that i have for making the iview , it says that when you have the bapi list you need to drag and drop the bapi to the empty iview pane . When i do so it gives me the following error ...
"Portal request failed
(com/sap/mdi/ObjectFactory)"
What do i do ?
Would appreciate a prompt help!
thanks again for making me move ahead
I had a conversation with a parson on the forum named Venkat . I am posting the same for other people in the forum to understand what exactly is my problem and how much have we explored .
Regards
Deepak Singh
Hi Venkat ,
I tried to do so research on the problem and it is being talked about in a thread on the forum . They ask to refer to the sap note 765461 to resolve the mdi reference . In the note they ask you to refer the installation guide of the installed version of EP . I have EP 6.0 SP2 . The installation guide says the following ...
7.1.2 Adding References
To enable some of the features in the portal environment, add references to reference file.
To add a reference:
1. With a text editor, open the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers\reference.txt
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers/reference.txt
2. Look for the line:
reference service:eisconnector library:jco
3. After the line mentioned in previous step, add the following in a new line:
reference service:eisconnector library:com.sap.mdi
4. Save your changes and close the file.
5. Delete the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers.bin
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers.bin
6. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine. See Starting the SAP J2EE Engine [Page 60].
7. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine again.
I did the same ....but now my server is not starting . By chance i didn't keep a bakup of the file which they asked me to delete .
Now what do i do ?
I think i am stuck up badly here .
EVERYBODY IN THE FORUM PLEASE HELP
I am not sure how a thing that is mentioned in the installation guide cannot work !
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
It is not that bad. By deleting you are recreating that managers.bin file during startup based on the reference.txt and library.txt (recollecting from my memory). This could also happen if there is a typo or some special characters in the reference.txt
I don't know what J2EE patch you are at, but after PL22 you can actually add the reference using the "add reference" command from the administrator console.
could you please send the error you are getting? To revert back the simplest thing is removing the line you have added and restart.
Hope this helps.
-Venkat Malempati
Note: Please reward points if your problem is solved or useful.
Venkat ,
I am using J2EE engine 6.20 SP2 .I tried to get the server started by the following two methods
1) I removed my entry in the reference.txt file and then start the engine by running go.bat from the required path .
2) I got the original file managers.bin which i deleted and then placed in the required path and restarted the server
Both the options didn't work .
I am not getting any error when i restart the server. When i run the batch file go.bat it starts the console and shows me the various managers loading . After it shows the Clustermanager loading , it stops and gets stuck .
Not sure what should i do now .Is reinstallation the only solution ?
Is there a solution from the administrator console ?
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
No you don't need to re-install. Try the following.
1. First start the state controller by runing go.bat in the following directory.
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/state/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager.
2. start the server in a different window
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/server/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager
3. Start the dispatcher
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/dispatcher/go.bat
Please let me the know the error messages.
You can chat with me between 10:00 - 11:00 PM US EST.
Regards
-Venkat Malempati

People ,
I tried to do what venkat suggested . Infact I had mailed him the snapshot of the screen when i start the state controller as he suggested . For other people in the forum this is what is happening . When i start the state controller it displays an error and then the window closes immediately . I have managed the screen shots somehow and in those i could find two messeges in the begining and the end which could be useful for debugging the problem ...they are
1) [DBMS]: ID3004:DB file header do not match exception .
com.inqmy.services.dbms.server.interfaces.DatabaseException: Error while opening database ...
2) ID000544: Error statrting service dbms. DBMS service not started properly due to: Errro while opening database
[Framework -> criticalShutdown] Service dbms startup error !
After the state controller window closes i run the server in a different window and i get a message waiting for the cluster manager as suggested . Now i start the dispatcher and i get the same messege there as well ie waiting for the cluster manager .
What is to be done now . Is this information sufficient to suggest me something ? Please let me know if you require any other information .
Regards
Deepak singh

How to use ENQUE and DEQUE BAPI in Visual Composer

Hi All,
We are planning to update employee Address through Portal for that one we did one BAPI which supports ADDRESS Change of an employye, through Visual Composer we developed the application and we integrated into SAP Portal but we are not able to update our records, then we found BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUE and BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUE, but we don't know how to use thease BAPI's in Visual Composer i mean how to make connection between out input form and thease BAPI''s and our custom BAPI's.
If any one having this experience please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhi.

Hi,
Nice to see your reply, we got this error in R/3 it self, when we are trying to excuting SAP Standard BAPI we are getting this error "Employee/applicant is not locked yet". I think this is bug from SAP itself, do you have any idea about this one? is there any settings we need to do in R/3 for resolving this one or else is there any data we need to maintaine for our Employee Records.
Please resolve my issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

SQL Query in Visual Composer 7.1.1 SP2

Hi all,
I want to use an SQL Query in Visual Composer 7.1.1 but I only can search for Stored Procedures. There is documentation available but not for VC 7.1.1. I also can not use the Query Wizard for this as the System does not show up in the list.
So how is it possible to use SQL Queries in Visual Composer 7.1.1.
Thank You
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
If you want to use SQL statements, you should use the BI JDBC capabilities of Visual Composer. For information on how to configure such system go to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/EN/3f/0f883fed254875883290c98c0c20c1/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/EN/3f/0f883fed254875883290c98c0c20c1/content.htm]
Once you have it configured you should be able to search for the tables in VC. For info about this refer to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/EN/7d/a109d5efcc4644a9f2da2ab27e50dd/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/EN/7d/a109d5efcc4644a9f2da2ab27e50dd/content.htm]
After you drag and drop a table to the storyboard, you can right click on it and select "SQL Editor" to edit the SQL statement.
I hope this helps,

Visual Composer 7.0 and LoadRunner VueGen

Has anyone been able to make Visual Composer 7.0 work with Vuegen (v8.1 FP3)? Running on NW04s SPS10 J2EE and Portal. The model is rather simple it executes an ABAP BAPI and returns Exchange rate data. Works great in the browser with no issue.
VueGen receives the data (seen in the playback), but then has a fatal issue, with message = Fatal Communications error, cannot retrieve the data. The https is definitely working Ethereal proves that. VueGen always works a little differently than the IE6 browser based on Ethereal (that's a mystery).
Anyway, I am guessing that the Web-HTML and Web-SAP Protocols simply cannot handle the Flash bytecode that is streamed back to the Vuegen process. It must be trying to do something with it, and failing.
Any ideas or success stories with Visual Composer 7 / Flash (not WebDynPro), and Vuegen would be greatly appreciated? And if you are about to try it , good luck.

Hi Frank,
From what I understand you are talking about recording Flex applications and not VC design time, right?
If so, I do remember having some problem with VUGen. I think that what helped me was using the option of using the old recording engine. This can be set in VUGen-> Recording Options->Advances->Recording Engine.
Also, I don't think you need the SAP-WEB, just use the Regular Web-HTTP.
After you record should see web_custom_request going to "com.sap.visualcomposer.vcbroker". I would put some web_reg_find before these requests and supply some expected returned data to search for.
Best Regards,
Noam

How to change front color in Visual composer

Dear friend,
i am taking numerical expression box into visual composer table view
and try to change the front color in style tab for that field property
but front color is not changing in output(back ground color is changing ).
how to change front color in visual composer?
and can we change the symbol color too?
thanks and regards,
dushyant.

Hi Vani!
1. Unfortunately one of my requirements is that I can only get data from queries and not from Web Services or other sources, so no WS calling would be allowed in my deployed I-View, but thanks anyway for your suggestion.
2. You are right, I was not clear enough in my first post. Let's say I have 3 rows and 12 columns, what I want is the following:
ROW3 = ROW1 / ROW2
obviously for each column. Do you have an idea about how it could be done??
Thanks a lot,
Andrea
