Adding Visual Composer to NetWeaver PI

As far as I could see NetWeaver PI doesnu2019t contain Visual Composer. Is there a way to add it manually or is a NetWeaver CE instance required if I need VC?
Regards,
Tarik

Thank you for the answer. Sorry, if I didnu2019t quite understand, Iu2019me new to SAP and NetWeaver. Maybe I was not clear enough in my first post. NetWeaver PI and NetWeaver CE 7.1 both seem to be based on NetWeaver 7.1, and CE contains Visual Composer 7.1. As far as I understand, the problem is that the component simply is u201Cnot installedu201D in PI and not that PI woudnu2019t meet the requirements for VC. But I couldnu2019t find instructions on how to install the u201CVC componentu201D in PI, nor could I find a download of VC as a separate component. All downloads which i could find seem to contain a complete NetWeaver CE or 7.0 Stack. Now my question is, whether there is a u201CVC componentu201D which can be installed in PI.
Thanks,
Tarik

Hi,
There is loads of stuff out there on visual composer. Have a look at this link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/VisualComposer7.0
VC is supposed to allow employees with limited technical skills created web based applications which can then be used in the portal. You do need some technical knowledge but it is more easier than developing code.

SAP Netweaver Visual Composer using Adobe Flex

Hi,
where to get Adobe Flex for SAP Netweaver Visual Composer.
Instead of using Adobe SVG Viewer we need to use Adobe flex so where can i find
that one please help me.
regards,
jasmine

Hi Jasmine,
You can use VC only if you have SVG viewer installed, that is one of the prerequisite. SVG Viewer is used for design. When you deploy your model you have an option to view it either in HTML (Web Dynpro) or Flex (Adobe Flex).
Hope it helps.

Adding a parameter for Visual Composer

i want to add a parameter called vc.bi.sqleditorenabled for Visual Composer
i read that use this parameter in visual Administrator.
Pls tell me how can i do it
Message was edited by:
Balaji Rajendran

Hi Balaji
SQL and MDX Editor functionality is available in Visual Composer in the following ways:
● On the BI → SQL Editor and BI → MDX Editor menus.
● In the workspace, from the context menu of a relational or OLAP query from a data
service defined using one of the BI Java Connectors mentioned above.
● In the MDX Statement and SQL Statement fields on the input ports of corresponding
data services, which allow you to send query statements to the databases.
For security purposes, the SQL and MDX Editor functionality is turned off by default in Visual
Composer. Therefore, if you try to access it, the following message is displayed: You are not
authorized to use this functionality.
To enable SQL and MDX Editor functionality, use the following parameters in the Visual
Administrator:
● vc.bi.sqlEditorEnabled - SQL Editor and SQL Statement from input port are visible
● vc.bi.mdxEditorEnabled - MDX Editor and MDX Statement from input port are visible
Change document logging is not available with the SQL or MDX Editors; only
database logging (SQL Editor) or OLAP server logging (MDX Editor) is
available.
Warning:
Significant caution should be taken when using the SQL and MDX Editor
functionality, to avoid the potential for corrupting data and to prevent users from
viewing data that they are not authorized to see.
To prevent potential security risks, we urge the database administrator to restrict
user authorization on any data source defined on the portal using the BI JDBC
Connector, BI ODBO Connector, or BI XMLA Connector. We recommend that
you set the proper authorizations for your users on the database level, and that
you use dialog users (individual database user names) for user mapping on the
portal.
Note that if you enable this functionality and save models that expose SQL and
MDX statement fields on the input ports of data services, these fields, and hence
the potential security risks, will persist in the models even if you later disable this
functionality. In addition, the fields persist in models that you export and import
into a Visual Composer system in which the functionality is disabled. We therefore
recommend you carefully consider security risks before enabling this functionality.
Cheers,
Shaym

How to call a BAPI from Visual Composer

hi,
I am new to Visual composer. can some body give me step by step information of calling a bapi or RFC from VC.
Thanks in advance,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
Steps involed for calling RFC/BAPI from VC
1. Choose Model->Select Data Services.
(Alternatively, click the Data button in the task panel toolbar.)
2. In the Portal field at the right end of the main toolbar, enter the URL of the portal from
which you can access the back-end system used by the iView.
For example, you could enter: http://<yourportal>:50000/..
3. Click the traffic light icon to the right of the Portal field. The portal Welcome screen
appears.
4. Log on to the portal as a user that exists in the connected back-end system, or which is
mapped to a user of that system. Click OK.
Once a connection to the portal is established, a list of system aliases defined in the
portal system landscape appears in the System drop-down
list.
From the System drop-down list, choose the SAP system that contains the function module.
6. Under Search SAP System, click the Search tab and in the Name field, enter the search string: <RFC/BAPI name>. Then click Search (at the bottom).
5. A list of function modules matching the search string is displayed.
7. Drag the function module/bapi from the Data task panel into the
workspace: The data service is added to your model.
8. Periodically save your work. To do so, choose File->Save Model.
Finally test the iview in VC.
In the workspace, drag your mouse from the Input port of the data service, <inputform> and dragn your mouse from the outut port from the data service <tabelview and etc..>

Visual Composer is a model-driven development tool that allows business experts to create and adapt analytical and free-styled applications without writing code. Visual Composer 7.0 is the General Availability (GA) release; Visual Composer 6.0 introduced the freestyle model-to-code creation of analytical appli- cations and it was intended as a preview tool for evaluation purposes.
Visual Composer now connects to SAP NetWeaver BI via a Remote Function Call (RFC) rather than a Web service connection. The resulting communication between the portal and SAP NetWeaver BI works faster, especially in cases of large query results. With these added functionalities, users can create more user-friendly, powerful analytical applications using Visual Composer, such as Executive Dashboards.

New Features of Visual Composer 7.0
Visual Composer 7.0 is part of SAP NetWeaver Portal in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. This release focuses on SAP Analytics and offers significant changes from the previous Visual Composer release. The most notable changes include:
Visual Composer now runs on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Engine of SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS). Therefore, you no longer need Internet Information Services (IIS) 5, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft .NET Framework.
Visual Composer now can generate iViews for Web Dynpro (the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces) and Adobe Flash Player 8 or higher in SAP NetWeaver Portal. You can create Internet applications by integrating Adobe Flex Server and Web Dynpro.
Visual Composer now integrates BI content from SAP or non-SAP systems using BI Java Connectors (part of BI Universal Data Integration 7.0).

Creating web service system for Visual Composer

Hello,
I seem to have made some changes that made my unable to create web service systems for Visual Composer.
The change I made is in NetWeaver Administration > Configuration > Application Resources > WebServicesFactory, I added the Configuration Property "UseCacheByDefault" with Boolean value = true.
After this, if I create a web service system in Enterprise Portal, the Connection Tests fail. In Visual Composer when I define a web service system, the error I am getting is: "Connector Factory not found for value WebServicesFactory".
I have tried to delete the UseCacheByDefault property I added as well as restart the server but I am still getting the error.
However when I test my web service using the Web Services Navigator, I am not getting any problems. So my guess is the problem lies with the connection factory.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks.

Hello,
Since creating WS system in the portal resulted with failed connection test, the issue has nothing to do with VC.
I'm just guessing, but try to configure proxy in the J2EE engine.
If that doesn't help I suggest you raise this question in the portal forum.
Best regards,
Shay
