BI Adm Cockpit - Selection menus in the portal

Hi Experts.
We have just enabled BI Administration Cockpit and its techincal content, in our BI7 system (SPS16). We are accessing the BI Adm. Cockpit via our portal and most things work fine.
We do however have a problem with the menus of the left hand side (for instance in BI Usage Statistics - BI Application Usage Statistics, the menu where you choose Web template and/or workbook), the problem is that when we have made our selection and clicked Submit, nothing happens. If we reload the page, then the selection is taken into concideration, but we get a timeout in the menu where we chose web template/workbook.
The error message is the following:
The URL http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/RSTC_SELECT_0P_SYSID//~ucfLOADING was not called due to an error.
The following error text was processed in the system BIS : User session (HTTP/SMTP/..) closed after timeout
and some more un-usefull text. Nothing is logged in ST22 or SM21. We have read the note 882548, which seem to be related, but this happens after 5 sec (which I do not think can be considered a "long time" as stated in the note).
Does anybody have any idea about how to resolve this problem?
Thank you in advance,
Mikael

The whole menu seem to be quite immature, so we decided to customize this part instead, thus getting rid of the problem.

How to get the list (vector) of selected channels from the portal

Hi,
I try to retrieve the selected channels from the portal to use them in my script. I use "DataCheckChnls". Is it possible to convert it to a vector, to use it after in in for next structure.
I would like to do specific calculus for each selected channel. Must I use another method ?
Thank's in advance.

Hello!
Sorry, I trusted the DIAdem help and did not testetd it. But I'm not completly wrong
What you get is an array of strings containing the channel name. In standard use these names are unique and could be transfered to a channel numbers with the CNo command. Try this code to understand this:
Option Explicit
Dim aoChannels
Dim oChannel
aoChannels = ChnStrToChnList(DataCheckChnls)
For Each oChannel In aoChannels
MsgBox CNo(oChannel)
Next
If you realy need the numbers as array you can build a function to do this based on this code:
Option Explicit
Dim i
Dim aoChannels
Dim anChannels
aoChannels = ChnStrToChnList(DataCheckChnls)
ReDim anChannels(UBound(aoChannels))
For i=0 To UBound(aoChannels)
anChannels = CNo(aoChannels(i))

BI Admin Cockpit - include queries in the portal

Hello Everyone,
We have recently installed the BI admin cockpit and try now to set up the portal dashboard.
In the portal under BI Administration > Business Intelligence on the left you have "Data Load Status", "Data Load Statistics" etc.
When we select for example 'Process chain statistics' under "data Load Statistics" there are two windows/ iviews coming up on the right. Now we have to select a web template/query/workbook to see the content and graphic.
But when we log on to the portal again all made settings are gone and we have to include web template/query/workbook again to see the content and graphic.
Does anyone know how to set up the dashboard in a way that all selected web template/query/workbook will be there the next time when logging in to portal?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,
Sometimes these kinds of problems can happen if there is some problems with the customizing,
can you check that everything is configured correctly using the support desk tool, please see the information in the SAP note 937697.

Duplicate binding of selection menus

I have 3 'selection lists' within a cfform type=html (AJAX)
that are pulling the same data. One in the search area of the form,
a second in the edit area not near the first, allowing the user to
select a new option and a third on a seperate tab in an area where
they can edit the selection list (here there is also an autosuggest
to a slightly different query). All these are actually within the
same form. Is there a better approach assuming they must be in
different areas (e.g., a way to bind the other 2 select menus to
the first to reduce trips back to the data or maybe a better
presentation concept).
1) Search Selection:
Document Type: <cfselect name="strdoctype"
id="strdoctype" display="diadoctypename" selected="#intdoctype#"
bindattribute="diadoctypekey"
bind="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readdiadoctypename()"
bindonload="true" style="width:270px; font-size:xx-small" />
2) Edit record field value:
Document Type: <cfinput type="text"
name="editdiadoctypenameText" id="editdiadoctypenameText"
readonly="True" required="No" bind="{searchGrid.diadoctypename}"
style="width:350px;font-size:xx-small" disabled="true" />
or change it: <cfselect name="editdiadoctypename"
id="editdiadoctypename" display="diadoctypename"
bindattribute="diadoctypekey"
bind="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readdiadoctypename()"
bindonload="true" style="width:350px;
font-size:xx-small;display:inline" />
3) Show what is there and then allow to Add value to
selection list field with autosuggest to avoid dups:
Current Document
Types: 
<cfselect name="readEditablediadoctypename"
id="readEditablediadoctypename" display="diadoctypename"
bindattribute="diadoctypekey"
bind="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readdiadoctypename()"
bindonload="true" style="width:375px; font-size:xx-small" />
 
Add a new Document
Type: 
<cfinput type="text" name="adddiadoctypename"
id="adddiadoctypename"
autosuggest="cfc:#strcomponentpath#.readSuggestdiadoctypename({cfautosuggestvalue})"
autosuggestminlength="1" typeahead="no"
style="width:375px;font-size:xx-small; margin-bottom:7em" >

Karri,
I just want to have the authorization role name entered in my start form as input for my method.
Scenario:
The user runs the start transaction and enters a authorization role name in the field Then he starts the workflow and transaction PFCG automatically starts as next step for initiator. Now i want the authorization role name appeare in PFCG.
My container element for start forms is ZAGR_FORM and refers to a dictionary table with same name containing the field AGR_NAME. My method is a self defined method of BO-subtype Z_ROLE being delegated from business object 'ROLE' containing key field AGR_NAME of table ZAGR_FORM.
In the step container i can't bind the element ZAGR_FORM to '_Wi_Object_ID' to have the effect i want. The error meassege is
"An object compatible with 'BO.Z_ROLE' was expected as the source expression."
The same message also during creation of a container operation.
Can it be solved by modifiing the program of method?
Here is the generated code:
"BEGIN_METHOD ZPFCG CHANGING CONTAINER.
CALL TRANSACTION 'PFCG' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
END_METHOD."
I hope this helps you for more details.
Regards

How to hide the menus in Weblogic Portal?

I have to develop a page in Weblogic Portal 10.0 that uses a portlet for the UI presentation.
I have a requirement that the page is hidden by default. When I navigate to the page by selecting a link, I have to display the contents in that page. While displaying I should hide the portal level menus of other books/pages. But I have to display other contents like logo, etc.
Can some one please help me on how to hide the menus in the selected page?
Edited by: [email protected] on Apr 19, 2010 3:43 AM

As a quick and dirty solution i would edit the navigation jsps (singlelevel/multilevel/yourcustom menu jsp) and disable the navigation for all hidden pages.
Or create a backing file and dynamically change the navigation state on the desktop when the hidden page is requested.
Or have the page in a different portal file if possible and set the same header and footer there as well.
Or You could have a look at the detached portlets. These are used as popups often.

Not able to view the uploaded PAR file in the portal archive selection.

Dear All,
I have modified com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par and have renamed it to some other name.
Now I have uploaded the par file.
The problem is that when choose new from PAR option (to create iview from a par file),I am not able to see the par file in the Portal Archive selection.
I also want to know that if I am able to call the par file in the iview, can I use this iview to have a portal login.
Our requirement is that we want to give login page for the portal in the portal home page.The portal home page will be for the anonymous users.
Kindly try to guide me

Hi Nitin,
Check ur Portalapp.xml file. If u have the following code in that just remove them
<property name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Category" value="platform">
<property name="inheritance" value="final"/>
Deploy it again.now u can see that par in ur portal.Refer this thread also

I'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start

iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

New PAR file not appearing in the Portal Archive Selection list

Hello Knowledgeable Portal Ones,
I am on EP6.0 SP13.
A developer on the team created a new PAR. It was uploaded, and it is now showing in my portalapps directory. A super-admin for the portal can successfully create an iView using it (New from PAR), but developers (who have lesser security access) can not. When developers attempt to do so, no portal archives appear in the portal archive selection list. In fact, developers would not be able to create a new iView from any PAR.
I see that the portalapp.xml has placed the PAR in "high-safety". I suppose this may be causing the problem.
How do I address this problem?
Thank you for your feedback.
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
there are two known possibilities for this behaviour:
1.) Within the portalapp.xml, the property com.sap.portal.pcm.Category has been set to "platform". This should only occur if someone imported an existing PAR to modify it. Also see Browse deployment iview
2.) Someone has changed the permissions for application access (under System Administration - Permissions - Portal Permissions - Applications - <YourApplication> --- There the one who should create an iView from a component must have Read permission for the corresponding application, also see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f6/2604e505fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/frameset.htm - Administrator Permissions - For portal components

Size of the select value window in the portal for a query

Hi,
When I try to restrict the key figures structure in the portal (to select some key figures and hide others), the description of some key figures is truncated. It happens when the description of the key figure has been defined on several lines in the query designer.
Does anyone knows how to increase the size of the lines in the "select filter value" window in the portal?
Thanks,
Gabriel

Major Sparky
Just a supplemental observations
There are certain actions even in the project that remains open that will close the opened, sized, and positioned Project Window.
Also
1. If you go to dual monitor system, typically the program does not remember the dual monitor setup when the project is saved closed and reopened.
2. If you use the project without a dual monitor system and save close project with the Preview Window open, sized, and positioned, when you re-open the project, the Preview Window is gone and would need to be reopened, sized, and positioned again.

BeX: Select option for the variable of the report in Portals

Hi Gurus,
In the variable selection screen of the BW reports, I have 'Employee Number' field tab. I have some 3000-4000 employee numbers in a file daily. Generally, I use the option "upload from a file/clipboard" in the multiple selection dialog box that you get after clicking the "more" button.
But the users report only in the Portals, where this option is not available. They do not want to use BeX reporting rather.
what should be done to achieve the same functionality in Portals ?
Any solutions or hints please....?
Points will be awarded.....

Report taking too much time in the portal

Hi freiends,
we have developed a report on the ods,and we publish the same on the portal.
the problem is when the users are executing the report at the same time it is taking too much time.because of this the perfoemance is very poor.
is there any way to sort out this issue,like can we send the report to the individual user's mail id
so that they can not log in to the portal
or can we create the same report on the cube.
what could be the main difference if the report made on the cube or ods?
please help me
thanks in advance

Hi
Try this to improve performance of query
Find the query Run-time
where to find the query Run-time ?
557870 'FAQ BW Query Performance'
130696 - Performance trace in BW
This info may be helpful.
General tips
Using aggregates and compression.
Using less and complex cell definitions if possible.
1. Avoid using too many nav. attr
2. Avoid RKF and CKF
3. Many chars in row.
By using T-codes ST03 or ST03N
Go to transaction ST03 > switch to expert mode > from left side menu > and there in system load history and distribution for a particular day > check query execution time.
/people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/04/08/statistical-records-part-4-how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db-in-nw2004
/people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/03/16/how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db
Try table rsddstats to get the statistics
Using cache memory will decrease the loading time of the report.
Run reporting agent at night and sending results to email. This will ensure use of OLAP cache. So later report execution will retrieve the result faster from the OLAP cache.
Also try
1. Use different parameters in ST03 to see the two important parameters aggregation ratio and records transferred to F/E to DB selected.
2. Use the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS (Performance of BW infocubes) to see the aggregation ratio for the cube. If the cube does not appear in the list of this report, try to run RSRV checks on the cube and aggregates.
Go to SE38 > Run the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
It will shown dimension Vs Fact tables Size in percent.If you mean speed of queries on a cube as performance metric of cube,measure query runtime.
3. To check the performance of the aggregates,see the columns valuation and usage in aggregates.
Open the Aggregates...and observe VALUATION and USAGE columns.
"---" sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.
In valuation column,if there are more positive sign it means that the aggregate performance is good and it is useful to have this aggregate.But if it has more negative sign it means we need not better use that aggregate.
In usage column,we will come to know how far the aggregate has been used in query.
Thus we can check the performance of the aggregate.

performance ISSUE related to AGGREGATE
Note 356732 - Performance Tuning for Queries with Aggregates
Note 166433 - Options for finding aggregates (find optimal aggregates for an InfoCube)
4. Run your query in RSRT and run the query in the debug mode. Select "Display Aggregates Found" and "Do not use cache" in the debug mode. This will tell you if it hit any aggregates while running. If it does not show any aggregates, you might want to redesign your aggregates for the query.
Also your query performance can depend upon criteria and since you have given selection only on one infoprovider...just check if you are selecting huge amount of data in the report
Check for the query read mode in RSRT.(whether its A,X or H)..advisable read mode is X.
5. In BI 7 statistics need to be activated for ST03 and BI admin cockpit to work.
By implementing BW Statistics Business Content - you need to install, feed data and through ready made reports which for analysis.

You can go to T-Code DB20 which gives you all the performance related information like

use tool RSDDK_CHECK_AGGREGATE in se38 to check for the corrupt aggregates
If aggregates contain incorrect data, you must regenerate them.
202469 - Using aggregate check tool
Note 646402 - Programs for checking aggregates (as of BW 3.0B SP15)
You can find out whether an aggregate is usefull or useless you can find out through a proccess of checking the tables RSDDSTATAGGRDEF*
Run the query in RSRT with statistics execute and come back you will get STATUID... copy this and check in the table...
This gives you exactly which infoobjects it's hitting, if any one of the object is missing it's useless aggregate.

Check SE11 > table RSDDAGGRDIR . You can find the last callup in the table.

BW integration with the Portal

I need to integrate BW reports into the Portal. Currently my reports are organized around role menus. I need to know what are the best practices around:
- role creation. what is the strategy of creating roles in the Portal. do we import the BW roles into the Portal? do we create new roles based on the BW roles? how can BW roles be migrated to the Portal?
- the execution of online reports from the Portal. Can we run ad-hoc reports in the Portal? can the user select characterstics or change the BW queries from the Portal?
thanks in advance.

you can find information about upload existing roles from an abap-system to the portal in the sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/40/4b3441cd62db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
when it comes to ad-hoc query and analysis, you can use the bex web analyser of netweaver 04s (callable by url or as iView in the portal) see:

EP log type INFO not written to the portal.log file

All the log.info (where log is of type PortalRuntime Logger) statements in my code are not written to the portal.log file.
I have configured the portal_logger to log ALL but it seems to log only the FATAL and WARNING messages and not the INFO ones.I am on EP6 SP2
Thanks
Sid

Let me rephrase my question.
In the portal logs configuration (Sys Adm - Monitoring - Logging Console - portal_logger ) if you select ALL, should it not log messages of all types ( ERROR WARNING INFO )? When I select ALL for the portal_logger the portal.log doesn't display the log messages of type INFO (only the once of type ERROR or WARNING).
