Configuring BI XMLA system for Visual Composer

Hello all,
I am using VC 6.0 patch 4 and want to configure BI XMLA system . I got the document on "How to configure BI JDBC system for VC", but not able to find any help for configuring XMLA system.
Also I have created the system using "com.sap.portal.systems.BIUDI" par file for XMLA, but not able to fill the required parameters properly.
So anyone of u have done this before plz send me the help or document link.Also if u want, u can send me the document on "[email protected]"
Hoping to hear from u soon.
Thanks and Regards,
Amol.

Give the following properties for the system you create using BIUDI par file - XMLA.
Connection Properties:
Data Source Name: <Name of the data source>
Server URL: http://<BW Server:port>/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla
Statefulness : <can leave it blank>
User Management Properties:
if you do not have SAP Logon Tickets set up then maintain the user mapping field.
I am working with VC 6 Patch 6.

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,

Configure BI JDBC system for VC

Hello,
I am new at VC and try to configure a BI JDBC system (BW 3.5) for VC. I have downloaded
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6209b52e-0401-0010-6a9f-d40ec3a09424
(How to Configure a BI JDBC System for Visual Composer.pdf) but do not know how to proceed after step 8 where SDK_JDBC is required. In my Visual Admin --> Cluster tab --> Services --> Connector Container --> Runtime tab --> under sap.com/com/sap.ip.bi.sdk.dac.connector.jdbc node SDK_JDBC must be selected. However, such node does not exist, how can I install it? Please help!
Thank you very much,

I highlighted in bold where the issue is, you went ahead and loaded the JDBC driver for Microsoft's SQL Server on the JAVA WebAS and not the JDBC driver for Oracle 9i, which is the RDBMS you are using. You can download the appropriate JDBC driver from the site below.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
Once you have done this install the Oracle JDBC Driver and you should be fine.
Good Luck,
Cheers,

Adding a parameter for Visual Composer

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.

Connecting SAP NetWeaver BI System to Visual Composer via BICS

Hy, i find on service.sap.com the possibility to connect SAP NetWeaver BI System with Visual Composer by BICS. What's BICS?and how can create this connection?
Thank's a lot.

Hi Neil,

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.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/media/uuid/602910e7-40ac-2d10-65bd-8e4f4abb9c79

Data Service System In Visual Composer 7.1

Hello,Experts:
Recently ,i am focusing on the mirgration function of SAP NetWeaver,and visual composer is among them .
In netweaver 2004s enterpise portal ,i have done the system connection between Enterpise Portal and ECC and BW ,and the system alias can be accessed in visual composer .Both the bapi and infocube can be got by the system alias .The Visual Composer Application based on the backend data service is ok .
However ,i have registry the ecc system in CE Portal and its version is SAP Composte Environment SP5 .I can check out the system registry is ok . However ,when i open the Visual Composer on the CE Portal ,i couldnt find the system alias that i have registried .It is blank .Plus,we havent install SLD on the CE Java Server ,and solution manager is put forward to take the place of sld .
Can anybody help me out ? The problem has any relationship with the Enterpise Service Repository ?
Thanks for your help in advance .
Eleanor

Hi Eleanor,
first of all if you want to use SAP BW in Visual Composer for CE then you have to install Enhancement Package 1. SAP BW resp. queries, planning functions and so on is only supported with VC 7.11 (EhP1 for CE). I also recommend you to set up the SLD in your CE system resp. that it works as a "slave SLD" when you have an existing SLD in your landscape. There are wizards available in the NetWeaver Administrator.
Go to http://<host>:<port>/nwa to login into NetWeaver Administrator.
Navigate to Configuraton --> Scenario --> Configuration Wizard and choose the Initial setup of functional unit SLD.
If you want to have access to BAPIs there are two ways to access the system. You can define a portal system object to access the ECC or you can define in NWA a RFC connection to access ECC.

Where to get the par file for visual composer application?

Hi Gurus,
I have referred few forum postings about transporting VC iview .
to do that first we have to deploy the par file of the Visual composer application into the target system(QA & Prod) where ever we want to import it........
Now my query is I went to System admin->support-Portal runtime->Root Folder-->Portal apps........
where i have seen my Visual composer application name and otpion to download when I downloeded it it has downloded in unknown format............can i deploy this to SDM of the target system?
Or I need to change the file format into par or par.bak file?
please tell me how to go about it.........
higher points will be rewarded for the useful inputs.......
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

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,

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

How to configure a Logical System for XI External System

I'm following the 'How to configure SAP XI to use the standard SAP communications APIs (idoc, pabi, rfc) from external system - How to create XI content with the Integration Builder' document.
I have everything configured, but in section 6.7 when I try to do a transaction BD10 on to send a MATMAS01 idoc using my Logical System IQS_EXTERN to my external system, it says '1 master IDocs set up ...', then it says '0 communication IDocs generated ...' and my external system does not get the IDoc. The NX7 Integration Engine does not get a message from SAP_CE8 to IQS_EXTERN.
How do I specifically configure my Logical System IQS_EXTERN to communicate with my external system via XI (NX7)?
I'm using the ICC Test-System CE8, SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 IDES and the NX7 Exchange Infrastructure (http://iccpi7.sap.com/rep/start/index.jsp).
Thanks,

Check whether you have setup Partner profile for receiving system ( Here its XI system). You need to create outbound parter profile for XI system.

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!
