Any alternative for Visual Composer?

Dear all,
The new version of Visual Composer are very attractive due to the use of Macromedia Flex technology. However, it seems still not avaliable now. So, I would like to ask if there is any alternative to Visual Composer that:
a) has an attractive user interface, and
b) able to get realtime data from, for example, BW by means of connector?
Please help me....THANKS A LOT!
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Ignacio,
Thanks for your reply!
BI Java Connector can only extract real time information from BW.
However, what I want is an applcation which I can extract real time information from BW and then can generate some financial reports (through some pre-configuration) using those extrected information.
Visual Composer (VC) can do so with very attractive output (i.e. the financial report). However, VC is not mature enough and that's why I would like to look for some other mature alternative.
Is there any application can achieve such purpose?
Thanks and best regards,
Marcus

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.

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

Are there any alternatives for iphone backup extractor?

Hi all,
I find that the 'iphone backup extractor' program is very useful, however it is quite annoying that they limit the extraction to 4 files at a time and that we have to pay in order to get our own data files propperly. :S
When I restore my old backup from iTunes, every new thing is gone, when I restore the backup I just made, the old backup stuff has gone. It just replaces each other.
Apple should have their own software like this where you can extract what ever you want from your old backups and transfer it on to your phone, such as contacts for example.
Anyway, I was wondering if there is any alternatives for this program, or any other way I can extract my backup files ?

If you're on a Mac, there is a "free" iPhone backup extractor, but none that I know of for Windows. You could always code your own program, that would be free.
Apple doesn't provide a mechanism to do this for the simple reason they don't want users screwing with the iPhone backup. Thus, none of these third-party programs are supported.

Future for Visual Composer

A consultant told our department manager that SAP was not going to enhanse Visual Composer; that it would only get bug fixes. I think he may have confused 7.0 with 7.1/7.2. Is there a future for Visual Composer or is it a waste of time.

Hi John,
I found this presentation from TechEd 2010 that says that VC lives on in CE.

Solution for Visual composer error: 32k span and 64k byte limit

Dear friends,
I am getting the error in visual composer 32k span and 64k byte limit since last half year,
some time error will get resolved by adding layer in to model OR adding some table and form to model OR reduce the animation effect OR even by doing tab strip view for layer model, doing nested ivew.
but this solution not usefull for every time.
what should we do for this error(32k span and 64k byte limit),
is it solved by updating EP version or by EP java stack or any other updates which will solve the This VC error.
64k error i am getting is:
+Error in compiling Flex application: Error: A function in the code exceeds the 64K byte limit (actual size = '65570'). Since the problem occurs in the compiler-generated deferred instantiation code, please refactor/componentize portions of this document.
(/usr/sap/IBD/DVEBMGS10/j2ee/cluster/server0/GUIMachine_Business_Packages/Managment_cockpit11_31066/FLEX_COMPILATION_FOLEDR/AADCDM.mxml:19)
Failed to compile AADCDM.mxml+
hope to get answer form you,
Thanks and Regards,
Dushyant.

Hi,
I think it's better to post this question into the Visual Composer forum. Anyway, the 32k/64k bug is solved with the flex2 server which is already released.
Also have a look into the [Wiki page|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/64Kbytelimit].
Hope that helps!

BAPI table input parameters for Visual Composer not working?

I am using a BAPI with table input parameters (2 input fields for the table). I tested the BAPI in ecc function builder (it works as planned). However, it doesn't work in Visual Composer using the same input values (not getting any error messages). Is this a bug in VC 7.0? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Brent Crabb on Aug 29, 2008 8:12 PM

Hi,
The data service at a time can execute only one input data.
it will not handle too many inputs at time otherwise all the input ports should have same submit action then it is possible to Execute multiple input forms data .
When you are mapping the input form and the dataservice ,give the same event like this *submit for both Inputforms

Hi Dharani,
Tools --> Options --> Compiler --> Check box deploy for par and mention the namespace and vendorname in the PAR prefix name
Very similar to how its done in NWDS.

Problem changing ALL the colours for Visual Composer

Hi All,
To set the scene:
I have SP13 installed.
I have created a Visual Composer model, selected the option "Enabling styling of flex controls in portal themes", and deployed it.
Then gone into the Portal > System Admin > Portal Display > Theme Editor > Selected the correct theme > Visual Composer > Flex Runtime Controls
Then changed all the colours
The Problem:
I cannot change ALL the colours. There is this blue box that borders all the form headers which i cannot seem to change. I have provided a link to a screenshot below.
<a href="http://base.google.com/base/a/2957240/D319638570621304478">Screenshot Link Here!</a>
The field that I would assume fixes this ("Border Color of View Header") seems to have no effect?
Anyone also had this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks
Conrad Nicholas

Hi Conrad,
This issue is a bug.
It was brought to our attention and was already fixed.
The fix will be available in the next release.
Thank you for your input,

Are there any alternatives for mseg and mkpf

I had to display from table S032...following fields.
S032-LETZTABG --> Date: last (i.e. most recent) goods issue
S032-LETZTVER --> Date: last (i.e. most recent) consumption
However the data was not properly filled in s032 table. So I went for mseg and mkpf table to get budat based on moment types.
 SELECT MSEG~MATNR
 MSEG~WERKS
 MSEG~LGORT
 MSEG~BWART
 MKPF~BUDAT
 INTO TABLE IT_MSEG
 FROM MKPF AS MKPF INNER JOIN MSEG AS MSEG
 ON
 MKPFMBLNR = MSEGMBLNR AND
 MKPFMJAHR = MSEGMJAHR
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_OUT_TMP
 WHERE MSEG~MATNR EQ T_OUT_TMP-MATNR
 AND MSEG~WERKS EQ T_OUT_TMP-WERKS.
Are there any other alternative table for mseg and mkpf...
Because my above coding ( which includes above SELECT of mseg and mkpf )got performance issue...
Could you please suggest me anyu other alternative for mseg and mkpf ...

Try to include the BUDAT in the selection of the MKPF.. if you don't have any restriction in MKPF than just pass an empty range.
RANGES: S_BUDAT FOR MKPF-BUDAT.
SELECT
MKPF~BUDAT "<<<
MSEG~MATNR
MSEG~WERKS
MSEG~LGORT
MSEG~BWART
INTO TABLE IT_MSEG
FROM MKPF AS MKPF INNER JOIN MSEG AS MSEG
ON
MKPF~MBLNR = MSEG~MBLNR AND
MKPF~MJAHR = MSEG~MJAHR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_OUT_TMP
WHERE
MKPF~BUDAT IN S_BUDAT " <<<
MSEG~MATNR EQ T_OUT_TMP-MATNR
AND MSEG~WERKS EQ T_OUT_TMP-WERKS.

Any alternatives for dbms_utility.format_call_stack?

For the freaks out there:
isn't there an alternative for dbms_utility.format_call_stack, since this will not work in server-side pl/sql when called from Oracle Forms. I'm searching something like a Data Dictionary View where I can retrieve this kind of information.
Regards, Roel

I am having the same problem.
I need a way to trace the path, even when the code is called from Forms.
Any ideas??

Business scenario for Visual Composer

Dear All:
I have been searched for the document about SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer. Mostly they are about IT scenario and features. We heard that it is highly-graphic supported, code-free and provide modeling for business logic. But we are looking for clear ideas about what is the business scenario it can be applied and what s the best circumstance to recommend business users use visual composer. Can anyone provide us documents or idea about it?
Thank you very much
S.F

Hi Szu-Fen,
as you already mentioned, VC is designed for code-free applications. These applications normally consume data from different sources and visualize this information in an "easy to understand" manner. They are called management cockpits. An example for such a management cockpit can be found here:
http://www.cubeserv.com/produkte/visual_composer/visual_composer_ss2_de_k.gif
Hopefully this gives you an idea of the purpose of VC.

Marc
