Authorizations in SEM-BPS (Web Layouts)

Hi all,
I have a question that hopefully somebody can help me in solving it.
We have a bps application, with authorizations maintained in the sap normal way: pfcg, rssm, etc.
The question is that we started to build some web (alv) layouts, and need to maintain the same authorization schema.However, the authorizations are not verified in the web layouts.
Can somebody provide some hint in solving this problem ?
Best Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Raman,
Sorry but your tip doesn't work
That's precisely our problem: the authorization scheme we implemented in the "SAP GUI side" doesn't work in the web side". Using web layouts, I still can acess some layouts I shouldn't be allowed to (user dependent)
Thank you anyway
Regards,
Ricardo

Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

How to open a Query in BPS Web-Layout

Hello,
i am new to BPS. How can I open a Query in BPS Web-Layout so that I can enter plan data manually??
Pls give me the procedure and not links to help.sap.com. Thanks.
pls help,
SD

Hi.
You can open bex query in BPS Web Layout, but you should update data via BPS layout.
In BPS Bex query can be opened only for display as long as BPS doesn't allow input via query (only BI7+IP).
In BPS Web Interface builder add subcomponent "text", set HTML=TRUE, goto property "text", press F4->edit long text and enter HTML tags IFRAME with URL of bex query.

Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

Hi,
We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.
We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.
Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
UR

Dear UR,
Iu2019m going to try helping you,
In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.
There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.
There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN
There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:
S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator
S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner
S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)
The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.
In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).
In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:
Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.

How to adjust width into BPS web Layout

Hi gurus,
I´m working with BPS web Interface. I have a tabstrip control subcomponent composed by 3 differents layouts and the web interface is composed by differents tabstrip.All of this layouts represents the same information but restricted to differents characteristic value. I need to align the data of those layouts, I mean the first column of the first layout should have the same width as the first column of the second layout etc.
The idea is adjust the width of the columns of each layout in this tabstrip control. How can I do that? Is possible do that with CSS Styles? If it is possible How can I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Try this may be useful for you..
In the Web interface when you double click the layout , you can see the window at the bottom saying your component name ,planning area etc..at the bottom most you can see the Width and height , there you can increase or decrease .
before that make excel web component as 'True', then only you can increase or decrease ..

Siva.

How to hide cells in the sumation row in bps web layouts

Hello xperts,
I'm looking for a possibility to hide certain cells in the sumation row within a planing table (layout) over the webinterface builder.
can anybody help me.
I know there is a possibility to influence a table with the tableinterface for reporting tables.
Is there any similar possibility in BPS- Web interface builder like a java script ?
Please help !!!

Hi Thomas,
what exactly do you mean by "hide certain cells"? Do want to empty the contents of the cell or actually hide the cell? Hiding works for entire rows or entire tables, but hiding colums or even single cells is a bit more difficult (given, that when you hide one cell, the table loses its rectangular shape and the rows and columns don't match anymore ).
I mangaged to change the appearance of certain objects with javascript. But that works only if you have an ID or NAME attribute in the HTML-source. Let's say you have a button and want to make it disappear.
1. Create the button in the wi builder, name it button1.
2. Create a text/html field, mark the html flag.
3. Edit the long text of the field:
<script>
document.getElementById('button1').style.display='none';
</script>
That will make the button disappear. But I don't think that the display attribute will have any effect on a TD. You can try with style.InnerHTML or maybe set style.color to the background color. But in any case, the TD in the HTML code needs to have an ID or NAME. Otherwise it can't be referred. Maybe changing the bsp with SE80 helps?

SEM-BPS Excel layout

Hi,
In SEM-BPS I use fiscal year variant K4 and when a Excel planning layout is started with a period October, 2007 to September, 2008 the system also displays a column with year = 2008 and period = 00.
How can I avoid this?
Thanks,
Jair

Hi,
isn't it accidently a misused "Summation" Column?
to switch it off:
8th icon from left hand side: a smiling face in front of a table.
Switch "Show total" off.

Convert SEM-BPS Web Templates to PDF

Hi everyone, one of my clients is requesting to convert all his SEM-BPS 3.5 Web Templates to PDF files dynamically.
I've already make a research on SDN an found several post about converting ABAP objects to PDF format (like <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp).
The thing is that I'm not an ABAP guy, my expertise is on JAVA.
I've just want to know if any of you have already found a successful alternative method to convert these web templates on PDF files using any Java techniques available.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Wulfrano,
we do not have this functionality. However, you can easily get a PDF for any HTML page. Check out for example CutePDF: http://www.cutepdf.com/

Deleting lines in SEM-BPS Excel Layout

Within our BPS excel layout, if a user selects a line and deletes it, it only deletes the planned values in the key figures. It doesn't completely remove the line from the layout unless the user restarts the layout. We've tried checking and resumming, but these do not remove the line. Is there a way to delete a line and have it completely disappear without having to restart the layout?

Hi Lee,
you wrote:
If you select and delete, that line will disappear.
Does this happens even after characteristic values are protected?
Afte a line has been entered in BPS layout,
I can delete the entire line provided I've not executed any planning funciton / saved into cube. (at this point, characteristics are not protected)
If I do execute any planning funciton / saved into planning cube, at this point I doubt if one should be able to delete the entire line (both characteristics & key figures) (at this point, characteristics are protected & doesn't allow to delete the same manually)
at this point, to delete the line including protected characteristics, we will have to use delete funciton.
if am wrong, I'm also interested to know your solution.

Multiple line selection in BPS web layout

Hello experts
I know there is a "row/column" option for layout in WIB, but it only provides the "radiobutton" but not "checkbox", hence I only can select single line in the layout but not the multiple lines.
anybody has idea to solve the problem?
Thanks Patrick

Patrick, it's quite difficult to explain it, if you are not familiar with BSP
I can show only direction for you in such case, because whole implementation is quite hard and depends of you requirements.
In short, you should generate your application in WIB with "Generate class" set true and keep "Name of generated class" filled.
Then, you should go to se80, select BSP appication, enter name of your application, then, you will have layout2.htm in Views. This page implements web-layout. You should change HTML and ABAP coding for this page to put checkboxes and write some code to implement your business logic.

Simple Calculations in BPS Web

Hi,
I am using the BPS web layouts (ALV Grid not the Excel Web Component). I would like to add a couple of very simple calculations (difference of columns/percentages etc). Is it possible to do this without using the Excel OWC ?
Thanks
Shailesh

Hi
the simplier way to achieve yor result is to use FOx formula to calculate your results at runtime .
You should create a formula function and add FOX code to it .
Check this link for examples

Web Layouts in SEM-BPS

Hi all,
I have the following question related to web layouts in sem-bps (non excel):
- I have several web layouts to enter data, but we have now user requirements related to copy, paste informations cells (manually) from and to EXCEL. The problem is that, using a simple alv layout this operation can't be done.
I've already searched possible ways to overcome this limitation, with no success (layout settings, by inclusion of some specific object, etc.)
Can anybody help me ?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Hi Raman,

That's precisely our problem: the authorization scheme we implemented in the "SAP GUI side" doesn't work in the web side". Using web layouts, I still can acess some layouts I shouldn't be allowed to (user dependent)

SEM-BPS 6.0 BPS_WB generate Web Interface BSP

Hi all,
We recently had a redirect of the portal connected to our NW04S BW development system and had worked thorugh the issues on the portal side so existing Iviews works (SEM-BPS 6.0).
We are now creating some new iview for a new applications but I cannot generate the BSP page. BPS_WB say that the BSP was generated correctly but when I try to test it, it says that http entry is missing and would I like to add it and when I say I do, it fails since I cannot generate a node under SICF since I do not have the authorization. I did an SU53 check and asked for 01 create on S_ICF_ADM but getting a lot of questions since 01 on S_ICF_ADM is reserved for Basis only on this project.
Another thing we are also concerned with is that some system settings that need to be done on the BW side might now have been done although Basis said all entries are changed..
I have to admit that the last time I worked with someone to set up portal connection to BPS was back in 2003 so I have to dig pretty deep into my memory and had been doing some quick searches but have not found anything obvious yet that would solve the regeneration issue except for the authorization addition which they are very hesitant about.
Any information or thoughts on this issue / problem would be appreciated.
Thansk,
Mary

Hello Mary,
I still work on BCS, so dont have BPS here. What I can do is to give you a summary of those things I had done in the past. Maybe it helps?
I gues you know that there are 2 diffren types of nodes: System nodes to enable connection to the web and the node for each web interface.
The required system nodes are describes in OSS 517484. I guess you have released them? Since BW Release 3.5 the web interface works with HTMLB. I guess you have activated thise too?`So the last possibility is from my point of view the web interface itself.
The node for the web interface existis already?
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/<your_web_interface>
In develop system the web interfaces will be activated manually normally. But in Prod automaticall because of not allowed customising. If the web interface has created such an entry already I think the only chance is to give the web interface another name in Development system - or to delete the existing node in the prod system (dangerous).
If this is not your problem, maybe another consultant has an idea?

Hi Smruti,
I don't know about your problem, as I don't know CRM, sorry.
But for you info: It seems this RABAX_STATE occurs at every WD4A error.

BW SEM-BPS API functions from a Web Dynpro project in Netweaver

Hi,
Rather than using the standard Web Interface Builder in BW SEM-BPS (3.1B), we have to use SAP Netweaver to create a Web Dynpro project which accesses all the API_SEMBPS functions, such as GETDATA, SETDATA, FUNCTION_EXECUTE etc. Has anyone done this before? If so, do you have any examples, hints?
Regards,
Linda Lee

Hello Linda,
let me add some more remarks on this topic from the BW-BPS development perspective:
I completely agree with Marc's statement.
Thechnically it is possible to build a planning application UI on top of the BW-BPS API functions and we have some customers that are live with such a solution. However, I would recommend this only in 2 cases
1. You need to create a tightly integrated application with BPS being only one part of several other components (including transactional UI, e.g. running against a CRM system).
2. You prefer a UI technology that is not provided by SAP (e.g. Java Swing based).
In all other cases, I would say that one should stick to the Web Interface created with Web interface Builder, mainly for cost reasons. If this tool does not fulfill all your needs there are several possibilities to enhance and extend the generated web interfaces by custom specific coding (see also several How-To guides in this area; e.g. "How to integrate a BEx Web Template into a BPS Web interface").
Another possibility is to loosly couple several web UIs with the help of the portal.
To my knowledge, it is not true that BSP web technology will be obsolete shortly.
In general, I would always prefer a tool supported, model driven approach compared to a heavy custom coding. This is also in sync with SAPs general strategy to a more pattern based approach to create UIs.
