Advance Options in Web APP Designer

Hi,
  Although we have BI for NW04S , we are still using Web APP designer3.5. Using the Drop down box we can have a dropdown based on  a info object ( for example if the report has a charateristics/info object "0CALQUARTER", I can easily build a dropdown which can show all the quarter that the infoprovider has and then user can select that perticular Quaerter or All Querter( or with another drop down for Year). This combination allows the user to see the data for a perticluar( or for all year) and for a perticular quater( or for all quarter in that Year, selected in previous dropdown). What I really want to do a rolling quarter( for example ( would like to show the data based the current and previous 3 quarter based on a drop down, or only current quarter etc).. One way to do this is to have the report using variables replaced by user exit. Is there any other way directly in the web app desiner?
Thanks
Arun

If you are talking about different screens for the associated reports - you could have a user entry variable for quarter and the value for the same can be passed through the URL and you can use the required offsets in the query design..

  • Filtering dates in Web App Designer

    Hiya
    I've been trying to find a way to filter my queries so that my sales information is up to a certain date.
    I don't want to use a prompt to specify the range since my users do not like prompts. Instead, they want to be able to use a dropdown or radio button within the report to select the month/year. Based on that selection, they want all sales data to be returned up to that selected month/year. I've noticed that the radio button/dropdown list in Web App Designer filters sales data of that particular month/year instead of up to that month/year. Do you guys know if there is any other way of doing this?
    I.e.  Users selects October 2005 in the dropdown and the report is filtered to only display data up to october 2005.

    This can be done using custom Javascript. You will have to use the BW Web item dropdown box assign cal month and select the option display only values which will render all the possible values with the option tag. Use a Javascript function to read the value the user selects and form the URL with the high and low value you want as filter. The attached How to document has similar kind of scenario.

  • Last Data Update in Visual Composer and Web App Designer

    Hello,
    We want to show the last data update in query result and we used 2
    differents ways to do it: throught Web Application Designer (SP 12) and
    Visual Composer (SP 10).
    In query result of Web Application Designer, the last data update came
    in GMT0 and in visual composer came ok (GMT - 3, that's our time zone).
    This value (ROLLUPTIME) is taken out of the RSMDATASTATE table and this is used in SAPLRSMDATASTATE program, that is called by Web App Designer.
    Why does the difference exist between: Web App Designer and Visual Composer for last data update?
    So, I need more information how the Visual Composer brings the correct value (in our time zone) and Web App Designer in GMT0.
    Best Regards,
    Pablo Moraes

    Hi Mario,
    Yes, i used the same user and the same query to access the information. But, how can i check the mapping from my VC user to the BI user?

  • Performance of Web Templates Apps that are created in Web App Designer

    I have created a Dashboard using Web App Designer in BI7 SPS 10.
    The Web Template has 12 queries/DataProviders that are used for 12 charts.  Buttons at the top control the view to show 4 Charts Each.   When these buttons are selected, command sequences are executed that Hide and Show containers (each chart has its own container).
    Also, there are 8 Dropdowns which are used to filter all 12 charts.  These Dropdowns are using Posted Values because the requirement is to only show the values that actually exist in the InfoProvider.
    When this template is run in Development where the data is minimal, it is taking 17 seconds to load the page.  When running each query individually, it is taking each query between less than 1 second or at most 1.5 seconds.  Also, the queries have been broadcasted to the OLAP Cache.
    Other approaches that I have tried but have not changed the performance:
    1.  Created this template with Tabs and each template calls a template which contains 4 of the Charts (I believe this is called the “Template in Template” Approach.
    2.  Created 3 templates  that each contain 4 of the Charts.   The Command Sequence “Change Template" is used to switch to another Template (e.g. from “Monthly Trends” to “Top 10” and retain/pass the filters that are already selected in the Dropdowns.  However all of the dataproviders are needed in each template in order to pass the filter values.  Therefore, all 12 queries are executing  when you load the main page.
    I am looking for suggestions on what I could do differently to speed up the performance to get the Dashboard to respond within 10 seconds.
    Thank You.

    Dear Kristen,
    well, one of the things that I do remember, a solution that we provided for a similar scenario, but, not exactly the same. Another difference is that it was in BW 3.5.
    We had few reports that was responding slow. There were reports that was viewed by both sr. managers as well by his team. Sr. Mgr looked only at the high level data while the team looked at the item level data in the same report. So, we provided two links in the same report. Initially it will come up with a static data. To get a detailed data, the user has to click the next link to view item level data.
    Now, how this works is through Reporting Agent. The first static data was provided as a cache(pre-calculated) hence, faster. It comes in just 2 secs. But, when the user needs a item level data, he clicks the lik provided, only in which case, it fetches data from the infoprovider(hybrid mode).
    We will need to schedule periodically, accordingly, to refresh the cache to provide faster data.
    Iam really not sure how far this will help you, but, can spark something( I hope!).
    Thanks

  • Detail on High Availability options for Web Apps

    Hi,
    I do really struggle to locate actual information on Azure Availability offerings / capabilities...as an Infrastructure Architect it has bugged me for years now with Azure offerings!
    Something that simply states the availability within any local DC and options for true HA over 2 or more DC's.
    We are moving away from using Web Roles to Web Apps for solutions for our clients. I understand the principles of fault domains, etc. with Web Role requirements for min. of 2 to (mostly) avoid MS update disruption within a single DataCenter, but cannot locate
    similar info. with regard to Web Apps.
    Really appreciate if someone could point me to some appropriate detail as I've failed....
    (Also, cannot find anything on DocumentDB....)
    Many Thanks,
    Lee

    Hi,
    High Availability of a running service always comes with a cost, and priorities will be app-specific. If it's the web tier, then you may indeed want to consider hosting in multiple geo's. If it's a backend processing tier, sometimes it's "ok" to
    let a service go offline, as long as requests are queued up. If it's the storage system (preventing queueing of messages), perhaps an alternate queue in a different data center could be available for redundancy purposes.
    I would request you to check this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn251004.aspx
    Hope this information helps.

  • How many display options for Web Apps are there?

    I know this is going to sound stupid,
    But are there only 2 ways to show web apps?
    Basically - I want to get links to auto populate on one web app, pulling just links to another web page (this web page is one of the fields in another web app), but automatically updated when the category of the "linked to" web app has another product linked to it.
    I know what that reads like!
    The only thing is - these are separate web apps.
    The alternate/backup view of the first web app looks like this:
    Currently - the user has to manually add the links like this:
    Which is not ideal - I just want them to dynamically populate on the fly.
    Is this possible?
    Cheers, Dave

    Funny you say that - as the most obvious things appear in your brain immediately after posting a question... Will see how that works...

  • Compiler Options for Web App

    I am working on a training course that deploys a web application to a web server of my choice. I have Tomcat setup and I also have used the embedded server in JDeveloper 10g. There are several exercises that I have partial code written. When I try to deploy the app to test one of the exercises I get compiler errors on other parts of the web app.
    Is there any way I can tell the compiler to only compile those things that have changed or still deploy with errors? I was able to get it to deploy by commenting out several pieces of code, but this is not my optimal solution.
    Thanks

    yes, mod_plsql for Apache (the core of Oracle 9iAS) allows you to make PL/SQL calls from a browser environment and return HTML. the entire Oracle Portal product is written using this mechanism.
    learning JSP from scratch, and learning how to manage security, database connections and record sets would be a daunting task. if you want to learn Java, great. it's my favority web language. however, if you have PL/SQL experience and a need to get information to the web, use mod_plsql and generate dynamic content via PL/SQL and the database.
    good luck,

  • Free Text section in Web App Designer

    I'm creating a dashboard through Web Application Designer which contain queries and charts to be used to show monthly financial results.   The user would like to include a 'comment' section where they can show the explanations of the results (such as why Actual Revenue is lower than Plan, etc).   This comment section needs to handle free-form text so that user can enter any length of information.   Furthermore, this comment section has to be dynamic based on what month the Dashboard is executed for.    So, if they executed it for Jan 2007, the comment section should show the explanation for Jan data.   If, they execute it for Dec 2006, the comment should show the explanation for Dec data. 
    If any of you can give us pointers or guidance on this, it would be much appreciated and points will be rewarded. 
    regards,

    Hi Lanny,
    There are the web items for documents as well, but may be they will also not provide the flexibility you are looking for. May need some custom solution for this one...

  • Netbeans visual web app design tab won't load?

    Is there anybody that has the following problem when trying to start a new visual web application in Netbeans 6? If so, could you help me fix the problem?

  • Critique my Web App design. (very long, maybe interesting)

    Hi all
    I guess this is really a design issue, and I was just looking for confirmation that what I have done is good practice.
    I am writing a web application with the works, forms, beans, client validation, server validation, everything. In the future, I envisage there may be a requirement for the functions of this web application to be utilised by some kind of desktop application (perhaps a stand alone swing or an extension to some existing software or something like that).
    I guess maybe the best way to do this is to explain the dataflow.
    A client is presented with IE window, invoked by a third party application which also hands in some URL parameters. This window consists of a menu frame on the left, and a "form frame" on the right. The client selects a form from the menu frame, by clicking a standard html link. The link adds a "command" parameter to the URL and passes the request to a servlet. The servlet reads the "command" parameter to determine which form the user would like to see and displays it in the "form frame". It then uses getRequestDispatcher and forwards the request to the appropriate JSP form.
    The form that is displayed initialises a unique bean (scope=request) for the form that is displayed. The bean is initialised with a few default values which are set in the constructor of the bean.
    The first thing the JSP does is check the "process" parameter (which should not have been set yet), if it is "true", the properties of the bean are set from the fields on the form (introspection). The user enters some values on the form and some hidden parameters (including process=true) which are taken from the URL are set. The form is submitted to itself (the same JSP) after running some basic client side validation (numbers in numbers fields, field length, etc).
    If process=true, then the properties of the bean have been set and the request is forwarded (<jsp:forward>) to a validation servlet.
    The validation servlet looks up a properties file and creates a JDBC connection from those properties. It extracts the bean from the request, and makes a call to it�s validate() method which takes the JDBC connection as a parameter.
    The validate() method runs some queries against the database and returns true or false or throws an SQLException back to the validation servlet. If validate returns false, it sets an error message in a hashtable in the bean.
    If the validation servlet catches an exception thrown from the validate() method of the bean, it writes the response to the screen (form frame).
    If the validate() method returns false, the validation servlet, using getRequestDispatcher() forwards the request back to the original form. The form renders its fields based on the values in the bean in the request, and also writes out any error messages that the validate() method of the bean may have put () into its errors hashtable.
    If the validate() method returns true, a new Statement is created on the original JDBC Connection object. A method in the bean is accessed which returns an SQL INSERT statement which is inserted via statement.executeUpdate(). The request is then forwarded, using getRequestDispatcher() to a confirmation page that simply displays the properties that have been set in the bean.
    Hope I'm not boring you to death yet...
    My comments/questions are:
    Firstly, is this proper MVC design? I've read tutorials and things like that and have tried to fit the MVC architecture.
    Should the servlet, which initially determines which form is displayed to the user (I believe this is an implementation of the "command" pattern), in fact be an interface of the package that contains all the beans? This way, when it comes time to stick a different front end on all this, all that needs to be done is implement that interface. E.g. for my current set up, I would implement that interface and have it extend HttpServlet and have its doPost() method to display the correct form...
    ...or... is it acceptable that if a different application is to call my code, a new interface or command type structure will be required anyway?
    Because the beans contain their own validation methods and their own method to create a sql insert statement. When it comes time to use the same functionality but called from a different client application, they will look after themselves, provided the calling application can supply them with a connection. Correct?
    The servlet that calls the validate() method of my bean, instantiates a JDBC connection and a statement. The validate method of my bean also creates a statement. I have explicitly closed the statements in the validate method of my bean, and that method throws SQLExceptions which the servlet will catch (in case something goes wrong). However, what is the life of a servlet? Will the connection and statement objects opened created by the servlet be destroyed when the servlet forwards the request on (which happens based on the results of the beans validate() method). there is a point just after the values of the bean have been inserted into the database that I can explicitly destroy the connection and statement object, it just makes things a little more messier (just code readability).
    Ok, this is really long now, thank you very much to anyone who bothered reading that. Even bigger thanks to anyone who can be bothered responding. Even links are appreciated.
    Hey, at least I�m not just asking you to do my homework assignment. :-)
    PS. I�m sure ill come up with more questions.... ;-)

  • Web App Designer Export to Excel - Issue

    Hi Gurus,
    I was able to sucessfully configure export to excel feature in WAD. However the issue we are encountering is, we have a button which runs a script function, this manupulates data in some columns of the report. So when I perform export to excel after the script function is excuted, the export gets the old state of data and not the data after the script function is run. Is there are way to fix this issue. Please advise.
    Thanks Again!

    Dear Customer,
    WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) is not supported on Export to Excel.
    If you are using some script AFTER data comes to screen, you will NOT see the effects on Excel.
    This is documented in the note:

         o  Currently WYSIWYG export is not supported.
    Sorry to not provide a better solution.

  • Web App Designer - Graph - "Data table" text font size

    Hi,
    In the graphs, I am showing the data table by using this piece of code.

    How should I control the font size of the text displayed in data table.

    Oh, my mistake. I thought you were talking about the table. The graph fonts are not maintained in a stylesheet. You have to go to the graph element (double click) and make changes to the fonts there.

  • WEB application designer - Web items - How to create new

    Hi!
    Is there a way to create new web item in web application designer, and <b>NOT</b> a copy of existing with different parameters (Web items located under Standard tab).
    It would expand possibilities of web app. designer a lot!
    Another question is, how to use BSP elements in BEX WEB reports (templates). Is this possible or not?
    Thank you in advance!
    Egi

    Hi,
    in principal you can write new web items but this is not supported by SAP as this is a modification.
    You would inherit from a standard web item class (for example CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_VIEW) and maintain tables rsrrenderer rsrrendereratr rsrrenderert and optionally rsrrendererdep
    BSP itself can not be used, unless you include a BSP Application via Iframes in your Web template.

  • How can I pre-populate a web app input form with data from a webform in the CRM?

    Scenario:
    A customer fills a registration webform. The customers data is stored in BC CRM as usual. This step provides a lead to marketing unit and the team makes a follow up. Upon completion of internal processes. The workflow initiated by this customer filling the registration form is approved.
    Th user is sent a 3rd-party notification with a url to enable the user complete the registration process by entering the information into a web app.
    The Issue:
    The client is requesting that he doesn't want the the customer to re-enter some of the  information that  has been captured in the registration form again since it will be laborious for the user to do this. He wants the system to store this customer data already in the CRM and pre-fill the web app form so that the user just submit the data, so that the item can be in the appropriate web app as web app item.
    Question: Is this possible? Can this be achieved via js. How should I go about it.
    Your assistance will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    For each option you would need to only have a custom text field for that item. This is where the otpion for each gets populated with javasript.
    Each option is your own html that is a select with options as web app items. A list layout of your web app items is just a select with text and value of that item.
    Your tricky thing is to setup the matrix of rules to define what shows and when. You can do that with data source association between web apps if it is a 1-1 relationship but if it is 1 to many you need to form script matrix to define what happens on each change.
    It depends on the details but thats the core of it.
