Choose designed GIF buttons in BEX for BI-IP

Dear Experts,
I would like to use designed gif buttons insted of
the bex standard buttons.
I created gif buttons(for example SAVE),
and created a BEX workbook with a grid and save button.
In DESIGN MODE when I choose for the button SHAPE and my GIF button exits design mode and save the workbook
everything looks fine.
However when I exist the workbook and reopen it the gif
disappears and I get a blank standard button.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Amir

I have the same problem. there seems to be an issue with different GUI versions - I have the most recent (GUI 9, BEx 7) and the shape files are lost, however a colleague who has an old version (GUI 2, BEx 1) doesn't have the problem with the same workbook. It's also a bit worrying that the SAP help makes no reference to this area on the button definition to attach a 'Shape ' - almost as if they were going to implement some functionality but then didn't bother!
Anyway, I have tried another approach which works for me:
1. Add a blank worksheet (which you will eventually Hide when development is complete).
2. On this worksheet, create your button with planning function (or whatever you need), but do not load a shape file. Make a note of the item name generated by BEx for the button (e.g. BUTTON_12).
3. On your actual worksheet, insert your .gif as a picture item (using Excel menu option Insert -> Picture -> From File). Position the picture where you want your button to be.
4. Right-click on the picture and choose the option 'Assign macro'.
5. Find the macro associated with the button you created on the hidden sheet in the dropdown list, and assign it to the picture. For example if your hidden sheet is woorksheet 4, and the button is BUTTON_12, the macro will be Sheet4.BUTTON_12_CLICK.
You should then find that when you click the .gif (which is effectively only an Excel object), it will call the macro assigned to the hidden button, which then runs the BEx macro.
It works for me - hope it works for you!

Dear Folks,
Could you help me please ..
In BI 7.0, for BEx analyzer i see we can use button, combo box, analysis grid.

2. And i want to filter that report with the sales person that i choose from combo box.
For that requirement, i tried to :
1. I Create a query to Sales info-provider for displaying sales.
2. I Create a query to either to MD Sales person / Sales info-provider in order to get Sales persons data.
3. I assign point no 1 to Analysis Grid.
4. I assign point no 2 to Combo box.
My questions are:
a. Is my techniques correct ??
b. How can i use button to execute filter into the corresponding report ???
c. Is there any tutorial regarding this ?? Could you share it to me please ..
Really need your guidances..

Hi Niel,
You can use the method you specified.
In Bex Analyzer you have design mode where you can have the following items Button, Analysis Grid and Combo box.
To work with the button you need to use the Command Wizard which consists of pre-defined functions, out of those select the one which suits your requirement and supply the parameters. As it is done thorugh a Wizard it would be easy to do.
Also,
The Button Name displays the name of the button, which is generated automatically and is unique. This name is used on the BEx Analyzer Design Toolbar menu to refer to a particular instance of the button.
· Range u2013 Manipulate coordinates for a cell or cells in this field to move or resize the button.
· Button Text - The text (caption) you want to display on the button. You can use this to describe the command the button executes.
· Command Range (optional) - Specify a three-column range of cells in the worksheet that contains command parameters. In these cells, you provide the same parameters (Name, Index, and Value) as in the Static Parameters, but in the worksheet these can be variable, changing during
navigation based on query results or on a value you manually specify.

Button in Bex Analyser 7.0 - problem with setting up Static Parameters

Hello,
I know a similar problem has been discussed here already, but I am still having problems with setting up Static Parameters of my Button in BEx Analyser 7.0, so that I can pass Variable values from that button to my query.
This is what I do - in Static Parameters of my Button I set the following values:
Name                          Index          Value
DATA_PROVIDER        0               DP_1
CMD                             0               PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                      0               VAR_SUBMIT
VAR_NAME                 0               0RMA_FIP
VAR_VALUE               0               004/2010
As a result, I would like the value 004/2010 to be passed to variable 0RMA_FIP (which is mandatory) and the query to be executed with that value. For some reason, however, the value is not passed correctly, and instead the variable is filled with a blank or not filled at all, and I am getting a message "Specifiy value for variable Fiscal year/period". What do I do wrong?
Just to give you a broader picture - I would like to later use this logic to pass more than one variables into a query, including a hierarchy node, and read the values from an Excel worksheet - however, after many attempts to do so, I started playing with just one variable to figure out what the problem was.
I have already seen the following two threads and SAP notes on passing variable values from the button:
Re: Button in BEx Analyzer 7.0
Re: How to set variables values via VBA.

Can anyone please advise?
Cheers,
AL

I managed to figure it out myself!
Instead of VAR_VALUE I need to enter VAR_VALUE_EXT, and it works fine.
I will mark this thread as "answered".

Design header in Web Dynpro for java

Dear experts
I used PageHeader UI Element for design header in web dynpro for java. How to insert a image and set padding logo in page header?
Ex : Create a SAP header includes the content as SAP logo, application title, functions, user name, logout button.
Thanks.

Hi,
I couldn't understand your requirement for keeping an image in page header but i suggest you not to do so, because it is not a good practice and creates a performance issue. Page header UI element is not much customizable for same purpose and should not contain interactive UI elements according to [UI Element Guide|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b06c8c9a-19a4-2b10-d985-9ae7a4383478]. You can also refer to the same document for the usage of the Page header and other UI Elements its a very useful and nice article.

Button in bex analyzer workbook

Hello all
I am trying to customize a button in bex analyzer workbook (BI 7).
I want to insert a planning sequence into the button. As far as i know (and as i did ), if the sequence contain variables, i should see in the static parameters : VAR_NAME_1 and VAR_VALUE_1, and so on.
For some reason i dont have the VAR_VALUE_1 part, and if i try to write it i get error.
What is the reason for this?
Best
Yuval

Once I am adding VAR_VALUE_1 to the static parameters, the system generates two messages error:
Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
System error in program SAPLRRS2 and form GET_SID-1
Best Regards,
Hanit

Where is the Components Panel and the Design Mode button in FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium?

I'm new to FlashBuilder. I've been using many years just Flash and now I'm switching to FlashBuilder. I've seen some tutorials, but the Interface in my copy of the program do not match the one in the tutorials. I could't find the componets Panel and the Design Mode button. Any ideea why?
My Laptop runs on Windows 7. FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium is via Creative Cloud:
SnapShot from Tutorials I've seen
SnapShot From my application
with yelow i've marked the place with the "Components View" and the "Design" mode button
whith that red line I've marked the place where the "Design" mode button is expected
I've notice the following menu:
Whe you click on Views: Window->Show Views->Other... an interactive dialog appears with the tree of views available. Above there is a textField where you can enter a filter. As you type the text, the tree updates accordingly, after each letter.
I've searched for the Components panel ... surprise!!!
nothing on filter
filtering for Outline View
filtering for Component View
the tree complete
the tree finds the Outline View
the tree is already empty
As you notice the list of views is empty even before I finish the spelling of the word "Component".
Is there something I should configure, or this feature is not available in this particular distribution ?

I found the answer myself. Looks like this new version does not support these features anymore: http://www.adobe.com/ro/products/flash-builder/buying-guide.html.
Strange...
The question rising here is what happens with this feature?
Will be available with a future update?
Will no longer be availalble in FlashBuilder, but in another Adobe Project?
Will never be available?
I belive this features are not important for advanced users... but I'm just learning this. I'm used to work in Flash. I write ActionScript, but I'm not familliar with the objects availlable in Flex, so the Component Panel and Design Mode is quite handy on this stage.
Plus, there is a real concern about the future of this technology, now beeing available HTML5. So, there is a question of oportunity investing time in learning things no longer supported. The most frustrating thing is not having an answer to this question. Even a "No" is better than "We don't know yet" <- the answer I received from online support.

Calling File Chooser from a Button

I create a new JFileChooser when a button in a main control panel is pushed but when the Chooser pops up it only responds to the keyboard and not to the mouse. How do I get the Chooser to respond to the mouse after it has been opened? (By the way, when I don't use the button to access the Chooser it works fine)
Thanks.
Scott

I have no problem opening the file chooser using the button, the problem is that the file chooser does not listen to the mouse once it is opened. I know the file chooser normally works properly because when I comment out the buttons I can use the same file chooser method that I have created it works fine. Here is the code that I have for these parts:
JButton getFile = new JButton("Get Files");
          JButton displayImage = new JButton("Display Scans");
          JButton calculate = new JButton("Calculate Rotations");
          panel.add(getFile, BorderLayout.WEST);
          panel.add(displayImage, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          panel.add(calculate, BorderLayout.EAST);
          frame.getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
          getFile.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               JFileChooser choser2 = new JFileChooser();
                    File[] files = getDirectory(choser2);
public static File[] getDirectory(JFileChooser fc){
     File[] files;
     files = new File[200];
     File file;
     fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
     JFrame frame = new JFrame("File Selector");
     int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(frame);
     if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
     files = fc.getSelectedFiles();
} else {
     file = null;
System.out.println("Open command cancelled by user.");
     return files;
}

Can any of you help me? Please and thnk you.

iTunes supports syncing and, where applicable, backing up of Apple's own devices. There is no support for Android. Read the manual/help sites for your device. I don't have one but I assume you copy media to it using Windows Explorer.

How can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?

1. how can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?
2. how can I edit visual bookmark on the beginning page?

This doesn't sound like a Firefox issue. I think you'd be better off with a site that offers web design tutorials. Try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/
One thing you should do though and that is to update Firefox via Help | Check For Updates.
There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still, I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.
