Accessing a SAP BW table data to display content in Design Studio Application

Hi,
I am working on a Design Studio application that contains a link to all the reports for different business users in an organization. The end user should see the links to only those reports he/ she has access to. This access rights are stored in a SAP BW table. I want to pull that data from SAP BW table to my application so that I can implement a layer of security in my application.
1) What would be a good idea to get SAP BW table data in a design studio application.(This data is not used to populate my application, but will be used to check access rights for a user who is going to open this application).
2) What will be a good option for deployment of this application ? On SAP Netweaver platform or on SAP BI Platform

Hi Michael,
Let me present my issue in a more clear format,
I have a web template launch page that was created using BW 3.5. This web template has only one web item and that is 'role menu'. This role menu will display all the available list of web templates for each user as per the access rights of each user. Hence this web template was the only door for my end users to access BEx reports.
While we were migrating to 7.x we found that there were no equivalent item available in 7x  version. As a workaround, I migrated all the queries and web templates from 3.5 to 7x but I didn't migrate the door. I asked my Basis team to replace the connection parameters for the links present in the door.
So now all my users still use the 3.x web template but when they click on items in the list, they will be accessing reports that are of 7x version.
Now my IT is planning to upgrade IE and knowing that bex 3.5 tools are not compatible with BW 7.4. This sounds like the role menu won't work at all with 7.4.
I started exploring Design Studio to search for an alternative for Role Menu component. I created an application using HTML template in Design Studio. Now I am looking for different approaches to implement the same functionality in Design Studio. Can you please provide some inputs on this scenario.

  • Accessing sap tables data and display in webi

    Hi all,
    i installed business objects edge series.
    i want to access SAP tables data and display in webi for adhoc reporting.
    Is there any process to achieve this.

    Hi
    currently (April 2010) you have the following options:
    1. You load your R/3 data into an SAP BW and use universes based on BEx queries to create WebI reports
    2. You can use SAP rapid marts. They contain Data integrator mappings (you need an installation of the DI for this) to extract and load your SAP R/3 data into a relational database. Additionally they provide universes (based on a relational schema) hich ill allo you to build WebI reports.
    3. You can use the R/3 connector for the Data Federator (You need a DF installation for this). Please note that the R/3 connector is not yet a product rather just a PROTOTYPE. Take a look here: SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Reporting for SAP ERP [original link is broken]
    4. You can try to access the underlying database directly using the appropriate DB drivers. Please note that this is NOT RECOMMENDED. This way you cannot leverage security defined on the R/3 side in your WebI reports and you will not be able to access all data as available in R/3 since some of them are stored encoded/compressed in the underlying tables.
    5. Instead of WebI you can use Crystal Reports and the R/3 drivers (eg. SAP Tables, Functions, Cluster) provided when installing the integration kit for SAP.

  • Crystal Reports: access to SAP BW tables in own namespace

    Hi BO experts
    we are running XI3.1 SP2 including reporting tools, integration kit and so on. The installation and the integration to SAP BW is working properly for most szenarios.
    Starting from Crystal Reports we would like to access a SAP BW table which was generated in an own namespace. By starting the database assistant we are connecting with the driver "SAP-tables,-clusters,or -functions" and see some tables in "DD (data lexicon)". But we can not find the self generated table in there. It is only possible to access the tables in namespace "/1CPMB/", "/B28/" and "/BI0/".
    How can we access tables from another namespace? Are there any restrictions for accessing SAP BW tables, e.g. namespace, configuration, settings etc.to stick to?
    Thank you very much for your suport in advance.
    Kind regards.
    Markus

    Hi Markus,
    just go to the Database Expert, select the connection to your BW server on the left window, press the right mouse button and choose Options from the context menu. In the field Table name LIKE: you can restrict the names of the displayed tables:
    eg. assuming your namespace is /ZMYNSP then just give there /ZMYNSP% ( % is a wildcard)
    Close then the Options window and choose Refresh using again the context menu (or just press F5)
    CR can only display a limited number of tables when you expand your BW System and by using the Options panel as described above you can let the system display exaclty the tables you need.

  • How to read data row by row in design studio 1.2

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to display data as a a ticker in my design studio application.
    Attached picture shows the requirement.
    I want to display top 3 best selling products from the data source. Data source will have two columns i.e. Product Name and Revenue. Requirement is to display top 3 product in a single ticker as presented below.
    1. Product Name + Revenue            2. Product Name + Revenue           3.Product Name + Revenue
    Any idea how to achieve this?
    Best Regards,
    Tanisha

    Hi Tammy,
    Through the getData() function we can display the measure but as far as I know I never came across any function to display dimension value for that measure in design studio. In my requirement I need to display both measure and dimension (1. Product Name + Revenue).
    I have never used the KPI tile SDK component but does it provide this functionality as well?
    I have already seen this ticker code. It works fine for displaying a text box in ticker. But if someone wants to display something like above, then is it possible to read data row by row from a data source and then concatenate it as a string in a text box to display it in a ticker?
    Regards,
    Tanisha

  • How to loop and read repeating table data of infoPath form in Visual studio workflow.

    Hi,
    I am trying to read info Path form repeating table data in Visual studio workflow.
    could anyone elaborate me in brief how to loop through repeating table and read all rows value one by one in workflow.
    any help would be more then welcome. 
    Thanks...

    Hi Rohan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a Visual Studio workflow to get data from info path repeating table.
    I suggest you can submit Repeating Table to a SharePoint List and then you can create a .NET workflow to read data from the SharePoint List.
    Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

  • Table Data not Displayed on DisclosureListener of af:ShowDetailFrame

    Hi,
    I need to populate a table with 2 empty rows when I disclose a showDetailFrame. I have written a method in appModule and populating the rows into the view object and calling that method from the backing bean. I have set the partial target on the table from the backing bean. But the rows are not displayed in the table. I have checked printing the estimated row count on the page and it displays the row count correctly.
    I checked the properties on the table, and I dont see any thing related to refresh the content of the table. Is there any property through which I can refresh iterator or am I missing some thing.
    Thanks,
    Morgan.

    Try as per the inputs provided by Vinod.
    If not, try to refresh the iterator pro-grammatically as per the following code:
    DCBindingContainer bindings =
    *(DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();*
    DCIteratorBinding iteratorBinding =
    *(DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("<ITERATOR_NAME_IN_PAGEDEF>");*
    *if (iteratorBinding != null) {*
    iteratorBinding.executeQuery();

  • Create a table and upload data in MS ACCESS from SAP ABAP programming?

    Hi All,
    How to create a table in MS ACCESS database and Upload SAP database table data into MS ACCESS table using ABAP programming?
    Explain: My client requirement is " If he/she runs a ABAP Program, that will create a table and upload data into MS ACCESS Database table in background. "
    Could you please give the solution or code? I know the program RIACCESS and I went through the SAP Note 583698.
    Is this only solution for this?  Or Any other possibilities?
    Please give me solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is not possible to create tables in a non SAP schema from inside SAP.
    The SAP-Oracle license also does not allow you to create the table (see note 581312):
    the following actions, among other things, are therefore forbidden at database level:
    Creating database users
    Creating database segments
    Querying/changing/creating data in the database
    Using ODBC or other SAP external access methods
    Please refer following link,
    [Ckick Here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]
    You can also do it by LSMW,
    If you are using Access 97, you can download directly into an access
    database from SAP. See program RIACCESS for details. You have to establish
    an RFC destination PS_ACCESS_1 and 2.
    There are then a couple of function modules. Go to SE37 and put in
    msaccess and hit PF4.
    The following is from the readme file: sapgui/ps/readme.sap
    For the MS-Access interface SAP delivers 4 files:
    WDPSASTR.EXE This is an RFC server program that is called by SAP R/3
    (PS module). This program creates a MS Access database. The structure
    information of the tables is transferred from R/3. In addition to
    these tables a table named DDIC is created. This table contains the
    structure information and should in no case be modified or deleted.
    WDPSATAB.EXE This is an RFC server program that is called by SAP R/3
    after WDPSASTR. This program filles the tables of the database with data.
    There must not be made any changes of the structure of
    the tables between the calls of WDPSASTR and WDPSATAB.
    WDPSAZET.EXE This is an RFC client program that triggers work/time
    confirmations in the PS module of SAP R/3 (like transaction CN27 Collectiv
    confirm).
    WDPSAMAT.EXE This is an RFC client program that triggers material
    confirmations in the PS module of SAP R/3 (like transaction MB1A - Goods
    Please also refer following links,
    [Click here|Upload data from MS Access tables, to SAP tables.;
    Before using the program "RIACCESS", you need to install the PS utilities, which are part of SAPGUI install CD.
    It is available in the "SAPGUIPS directory".
    Then do the followings :
    1. Select transaction code SALE -> Systems in network-> Define RFC Destination.
    2. You will need two RFC destinations (TCP/IP connections for the front-end workstation).
    Setup the two RFC destinations PS_ACCESS_1 and PS_ACCESS_2 and you'll have to get them to point to
    wdpsastr.exe and wdpsatab.exe respectively.
    3. Then execute RIACCESS and choose PS_ACCESS_1 to generate access tables.
    The system must also be able to access the RFC-DLL files (librfc2.dll, librfc3.dll, librfc4.dll, librfc5.dll, librfc6.dll, vrfc.dll).
    Please note that Access only supports tables with up to 255 fields.

  • Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

    Hi All,
    Please help.........
    Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion  just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
    Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards

    All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
    Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
    But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

  • Access SAP database table from different SAP server

    Hi,
    May i know is that possible to access the SAP database table from server A to server B without write a program on server A? Is it possible for direct access the SAP database table.
    Best regards,
    Gan

    Hello,
    you could use the RFC-Modules RFC_READ_TABLE or RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES on server A.
    Precondition: you need a RFC-Destination from B to A.
    And a little drawback: you get only the first 512 byte of each table entry.

  • Can I use export my SAP created master data in a non-SAP system?

    Hello,
    I am about to start a large integration solution with my SAP customer and they are concerned about licensing. What they want to do is export their GL, cost centre and WBS master data to an external system via integration (probably custom ABAP, or home built BAPI/RFC).  The external system then uses the accounting data to determine where to post FI or MM documents back into SAP via custom ABAP, BAPI or maybe IDOC).
    Is this OK?  Are there any licensing issues with master data used externally and posted back in via custom ABAP or standard BAPIs/IDOCs?
    Thank you in advance,
    Geoff

    Hello Geoff,
    Yes, even indirect access to SAP transactions or data needs to be licensed properly with SAP. Your customer should contact their SAP account rep to discuss the exact use case. Indirect access via certain types of certified integrations may qualify for Platform User License pricing, but there is no generic answer, and it is best for the customer to discuss their specific case directly.

  • Newbie Table Data Source Question

    Hi,
    I have a question about table data sources. I can set them up OK but I can't find the answers I'm looking for in the documentation or online.
    With a table data source, the content column is the one that's indexed right? Are the attribute column sindexed as well? If the content column is null, will the attribute columns still be indexed?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark.

    The attribute column is indexed along with the content column. However, the attribute column will not be indexed if the content column is null. That is, empty document is not indexed.
    The workaround is to at least fill in a few space characters to the content column.
