Bookmark web template in "Favorites"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
any idea how to bookmark a web template in favorites? I dont want to use the known bookmark functionality from BW. Just click and save a link "directly" in own favorites. In the Bex Browser you can also save links in role or favorites?
Regards,
Adem

Kartheek,
We ended up 'capturing' the bookmark URL by adding a hidden IFRAME to the page -- its only purpose was so we could then take the newly generated bookmarked URL and feed it into a custom function for storing internally as a BW Favorite. Not sure if this was the only approach we could have used, but it does work for our purposes.
So we had an Iframe with id = "bookmark_layer". When a user would click a Bookmark link, we would load the Iframe with the BOOKMARK command added as shown below:
document.bookmark_layer.location.replace(SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=BOOKMARK");
Then upon ONLOAD of the iframe, we could access the new URL by referencing document.bookmark_layer.location.href. I assume you could store this and add additional parameters if you really needed to. We ended up calling BX_FAVOS_ADD_URL with a SOAP envelope and passed this in as a value for URL. This allowed us to create a BW favorite for the user with their bookmarked URL. Then they could easily access it again through the role menu web item.

Users to Save Web Templates or Bookmarks to Their Favorites?

Hi,
We have a number of web templates in many roles. We would like users to be able to save any of these web templates (or bookmarks) to their favorites as they choose to. They work from the web iterface only. Is there a url command or something that can save the current URL to the favorites?
Thanks.

I don't know that you can save a template to a favorites role, but you can personalize a template so when the user returns to that template it is saved as they had drilled it.
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='PERSONALIZE'>
Or you can add to IE favorites
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='BOOKMARK'>
(optional)
'X' = Yes, ' ' = No
Or you can use a drop down box and allow users to add views to the drop down in the web application so essentially when they return they have the default views and additionally have the custom views they created.

Hi Deepak,
We too faced this problem of getting variants dynamically in Web Reports. As of BW3.1, we dont have option for that.
You can try Bookmark Option, which user can save in his/her IE favorites and it saves the report layout as well as parameters.
SAP says variant functionality should be available in WEB from 3.5 onwards
Hope this would be help to you.

Variable Personalization for Web Templates

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method to personalize variable values for individual web templates. When I personalize a variable value while running the query on web, its value gets modified for all queries, not just the specific one that I am running.
This does not happen when I run the queries in BEx. Here I have the option of personalizing the variable values specific to the query that I am running (by using the icon at the bottom of the variable screen), or to personalize the variable value across all queries (by using the icon displayed with the individual variable).
Can anyone help me in achieving the same two options for queries run on web? I want to personalize variable values for individual queries.
Thanks
-Arif

Hi Arun
Thanks for your input, but the bookmarks or parameter passing will not give enough flexibility to the users.
For example:
Out of 10 available variables in the query, the user should have an option of selecting values for those that have not been personalized (say 7 variables) while the rest 3 get populated automatically because they have been personalized. In EACH run of the query, the user will have the flexibility to select a different value for the 7 variables.
This needs to be different for each query the user runs, even though the queries may use same variables as the other.
I am trying out some options. If it works, I shall let you know.

Remove "inforarea" option when press "open view" in 0ADHOC web template

hello expert,
in a web template 0ADHOC, when you click on "open view" it gives you the option to select your view from history, favorites, roles, and infoarea.
I'd would like to remove the possibility to select a view from "infoarea" in the web template (a little bit like hiding the infoarea button in Bex using S_RS_FOLD).
How can I achieve this?
Many thks in advance,
/Sid

hi,
I have just made a test:
I have copied 0adhoc to zadhoc and then deleted SAP_BW_TEXT_!llD_129
then I executed template in IE and text "BEx Ad-hoc Analysis" is missing from the top of report
so those texts are exist as well
Only question is: does those texts numbers same for all systems?
Regards,
Andrzej

Disable link of BEX 3.5 query web template

Dear All,
we migrated all BEX queries from 3.5 to 7.x. Since our users use the BEX queries via web template, most of then have the web template links of old 3.5 queries saved as bookmarks in their browser.
Is there a way to disable this link server side, in order to force the user to update theyr link with the new one of BEX 7.x query web template?
Thanks

Hi,
> You may delete all 3.X bookmarks. The standard 3.X bookmark administration can be found in transaction RUNSCHED.
All below options mean, that you also cannot use the Broadcaster anymore !
> You may deactivate service /sap/bw/BEx in SICF. Users will get an ICF error message (Service not found).
> You may create your own handler on ICF service sap/bw/BEx, providing an appropriate message for users.
> Your can create your own redirect/logon/error page on this service.
> Another very drastic option would be to switch off service HTTP(S) in your ICM. In this case, no web applications are available via that service on the system anymore.

Martin

Running Web Template outside of WAD

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know how to run a web template without using WAD. We are trying to find easier ways for the end users to launch the templates. I know we can add them to the users' favorites, but is there a quicker way than launching WAD, finding the template, then adding to the favorites?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Meezy

You can also create a template with a role menu, then when you add the role menu it will provide links to all the templates that the user is authorized to see. This is a good way to be sure the user only has the desired authorizations by checking what roles they are in and what they can and cannot view.
Cheers,
Rusty

Web template not visible and editable by others

Hi Guru,
I have a problem of sharing a web templated with others . In the WAD, I created a web template and saved the template. By default, it is saved in the favorite folder. However, it is not accessable or visible by another developer who needs to continue the development on this template. I have asked our SAP BW security person and she tried a few things and it didn't work. Can someone share the insights of what we should do to allow a web template created by one person to be edited by another person? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you provide the other person with the name of the template, he should be able to modify it. Instead of searching when opening, enter the exact name.
Hope this helps.

Diego

Web Template Heading as variable per URL parameter?????

Hi,
is it possible to give the Heading/Title of a BW web template by giving over the (wished text) as parameter value in the the URL.
As far as i could find out, with the standard web Objects available in the Web Application Designer it is not possible. (May be i am wrong but all i could see was the BW Objects with the value relating to the Query objects. Whereas a simple Template heading has noting to do with any QueryObject)
Is there any other way of doing this? Maybe Java Script?
Thanx for anyone replying.
Umair

Hi,
the best approach to do this (would also work with bookmarks, ....). Set a caption of a web item where the caption is not displayed and add in your url the command sequence &cmd_1=item%3dYourItem%26caption%3dYourtitle
Then use the SAPBWGetItemProp function to get the caption.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/09/0b453c8bf3f30ee10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
and place the caption in the title section.

Use web template to open a report from a menu

Hi all,
I have created one web template where I have a role menu that shows all reports that are available to the user. When the user clicks on one of these reports, the report displays in a new window. So far everything is working fine.
But, I have also created another web template and I want the report that is displayed in a new window to use this template. How do I do this? I have been looking at the settings for the Role menu, but can't find anywhere to put the template name...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Tove-Mette

Hello,
yes you can use the publish function, but only to add new entries.
In Transaction pfcg (not in WAD or BEx) in SAP GUI and then select your role at the tab "Menu" you can add/remove/maintain/organize your menu.
just click on a menu entry and take sth.like edit.
Then you will see a link if you didn#t find the string &template_id= the system will take the standard template (Tranaction spro), and you can easily add or change this parameter.
Hope that helps, please ask if you need further explanation.

Problem of Query in Portal (web template)

Hi BWs experts,
I have a problem with a query.
I'm working on BI7 (BI java patch 12 and BI abap pacth 14).
The query is good working in BEx Analyzer.
Bus when I execute it in a portal like a web template, it doesn't work. The following error occurs :
Begin of message error
ABEND RSBOLAP (000): Program Error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
MSGV1: SAPMSSY1
MSGV3: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
com.sap.ip.bi.base.application.exceptions.AbortMessageRuntimeException: Termination message sent

ABEND: Error program in class SAPMSSY1
method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
ABEND: System error in progr. CL_RSMD_RS_SPECIAL and form. GETSID-01
End of message error
In the default values (= filter) I'm using a variable for a characteristic C. If I delete this default value in query designer, the query works in portal. If i put a filter (constant or variable) to this characteristic C, the query bugs in portal.
So I don't know why it doesn't work.
I hope you can help me to resolve this problem.
Points will be assigned.
Best cheers,
Vince.

hi,
we're now getting the same message although that is after applying the java patch 12.
what exactly was the problem with the info-object? and what did you do to fix it?

Error while executing a web template in browser

Hi experts,
I am facing an issue when I am creating copy of an existing web template and executing it.
As per the query inserted in the web template, it should show the 'variable entry' screen, but its showing a page with lots of junk characters (looks like chinese to me).
When I execute the already existing template, its showing the correct screen.
Can anyone help me in fixing this issue?

Uday.

You are not alone - Looks like SAP is also looking into this.

Error on page from BW 3.5's default web template

Hi Guru's,
We have a problem in our new BWD BW 3.5 environment where we are getting the "error on page" error from SAP-generated code and we arent sure why.
On our old BWT BW 3.0b platform, we have been using a modified version of the 0query_template called Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE. We did a system copy of BWT to BWD, our new BW 3.5 platform. At that point in time we would see our old BW 3.5 default template for queries that we ran. We wanted to see what the new default web template looked like in BW 3.5. We found where we could remove the Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE from the Web Adhoc Analysis web template setting so we could see the new features of the BW 3.5 default BEx query designer template instead of our old BW 3.0b default template.
Now when we run a query through the BW 3.5 query designer on BWD, we are using BW3.5s default template. The prompt web page is fine. No errors on page messages.
However, the initial presentation of the query results displays okay, but shows "error on page" in the message bar at the bottom of the displayed page. As soon as we do any navigation on those query results that error on page goes away. If we navigate back to the initial presentation, all is still okay. If we use the context menu to go back to start, we again get the error on page.
This error on page does not happen in BQ2 (our new BW 3.5 QA environment copied from our old BW 3.0b QA environment where we had not yet changed the default BEx Query Designer template to be Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE). We have tried several queries and in each case, we get errors on page in BWD, but not in BQ2. We used ultraedit to compare the view source output from the equivalent web pages from BWD and BQ2 and the only difference is the validity date of the data. There are no other differences in the javascript code generated by BW in the two platforms.
The statement that Internet Explorer is saying is the problem is the same in each of the cases we have checked and that is:
SAPBWSetFocus(anchor);
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
Its in the set_tab() function.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Because the error goes away as soon as we navigate Im thinking some object isnt being created or initialized, but since the view source code of these pages are identical Im wondering if there is some code that should be executing before this page that is not happening in BWD for some reason.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeri

Heike,
Thanks for your help in this. BWD and BQ2 are both on the same SP. SAP_BW release 350 level 10 (SAPKW35010) with BI_CONT at release 352 level 5 (SAPKIBIEP5).
I invalidated the server cache following your instructions and tried again, but am still having the same problem in BWD. The initial display gets the "Done, but with errors on page" message until any navigation is done.
I am using IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 when I execute queries on both BWD and BQ2.
Please, do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeri
