Container web item

Hi,
Wanted to understand what does a container web item gain us , i am able to have views , charts etc using tab page item and trying to understand what a container gets us.
Also i didnt get too much clarity on the container layout item . I got to the point of moving things around but couldnt get the rowspan to work . Any help is much appreciated.
thanks
amit

Hi,
A container layout item is used to arrange a number of items in a web template while running, so that rearranging them is also easy and you dont have to do any physical rearrangement in the WT which can be painful.
You can select one of the layout types for the container layout item like grid, row cells floating etc. Then you can define the number of items in each row columnwise or vice versa. That is how they will appear when you run the WT and not how they show in the design view of the template.
Hope this helps.

WAD: anyway to bind each tab of the tab page web item to different query?
We check the properties of the tab page web item, but can't find we can bind the tab to some query.
Any idea?
Thanks!

will try to write as much detail steps as i can...
drag tab page web item in wad window
go to its properties
for e.g. u currently have only 1 tab page
than name tab page1 as p1
hit button with ..
this will let u add new heading to tab page 2
likewise save heading of 4 tab pages in properties of tab pages
now choose container web item
drag it in tab pages window
assign seperate analysis item in each container item
assign seperate queries in each analysis web item.
assign container1 to tab page1
assign container2 to tab page2
assign container3 to tab page3
assign container4 to tab page4
and their heading viceverssa
save it execute it
now u will have 4 queries in 4 container item and uc an see that in different tab pages.

Container Layout Web Item supported for PDF Printing (Stack 11)

Dear all and Mr. Prakash Darji
I had an information that PDF export would be supported for Container Layout Web Item with SPS11. We hrecently have installed SPS11 but the functionality is still not available.
Does any one have more info on this ? Has SAP changed the plan ?
The current document at the service marketplace about functional enhancements on the following link does not say any thing about this.

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Navigation Web Item Behavior BI 7.0

Hi, I have an initially collapsed Nav Item and a report in a container. After I drag a characteristic from the Nav Item onto my report the Nav Web Item Collapses. So now I have to expand the Nav Item again to drag another characteristic to my report. Shouldn't the Nav Web Item only open and close unless I open or close it?
Thanks!

Apparently so, i think there is a way in the installation /settings to make like a little easier.....let me find out and get back to you.

Placing 2 Web items in the same place in a Dashboard

Hi,
I am creating a dashboard with 4 charts in a single page, 2 rows with 2 charts in each row. One requirement of mine is like, take a chart for example, when i first execute the template, it should display a Bar chart and then the same chart should change to Pie chart. One option of doing this is by adding the charts in a dropdown but the problem is i need both the charts in the same place. I couldnt place both the web items in the same place, also i am not sure about how to make both the charts display in the same place.
If anybody have come across this, help me in this.

Hi Pradnya,
This solution worked :-). I do have one more problem. I want a Text Item & a Dropdown item to be in the same row of the dashboard. i have already created a Dashboard item placed in a container. So, i have created one more container and placed the text item in that.
But when i go to Container Layout, in the Row selection, i couldnt see both the container and the text item in the Subordinate Web Item. I tried deleting the container and creating a new one again but the same problem is appearing. The newly created container is not seen in the Subordinate Web Item.
What could be the reason causing this problem?
Any help on this?

How to pass parameter values to a customer exit web item (WAD)

Hi gurus,
I have a wad with a data provider and a filter panel filtering that dp by using a variable. There is also a customer exit which saves the values of that variable into a z table.
How can I pass the values of the filter panel to the customer exit web item?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Can you clarify your scenario? Which is the case you're talking about?
1) You want to pass a parameter from OmniPortlet to a PL/SQL procedure.
2) You want to pass a parameter from a PL/SQL procedure to OmniPortlet.
In both cases the most obvious way of doing it is through request (URL) parameters.
Render a link in your portlet (either in OmniPortlet or using PL/SQL) that invokes a portal page, containing the other portlet.
Both OmniPortlet and PL/SQL allow you to wire and access page parameters.
Take a look at the Using Parameter and Events section of the Portal User's Guide and the Parameters and Events section of the Portal Developer's Guide.
Hope this helps,
Peter

Hierarchical Filter Web Item causes validation warning.

When I validate my web template which contains a hierarchical filter web item agianst the server I get the following warning (W1):
Mapping for Service item_validation_service for Object HIERARCHICAL_FILTER_ITEM missing
Maybe this also relates to my problem of not having the possibility to choose a characteristic for the hierarchical filter (see my post <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=209968&tstart=0">https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=209968&tstart=0</a>)
How can I fix this mapping issue?
Thanks to any answers in advance.

Hello,
Your first problem is that ABAP SP does not equal Java SP. This is not a valid scenario.
Please update both to <b>the same SP level</b>.
After it, please retest your problem. I think that the problems will be solved (at least this one with validation service).
Short explanation to validation service:
Every template created in WAD will be validated before saving it. We have two validations:
1. one is locally with the meta data this checks if:
- all used parameters are on its place,
- all parameter values are valid,
- all defined items are existing...
2. second one is extended validation on the Java Server: this one checks i.e. following:
- are all used data providers valid
- are all used characteristics valid
- item dependent validation (e.g. if one item needs a dependency between to setting - this can be checked here)
The first one will be executed in Front-End and in ABAP Back-End. The second one in Java. Because your Java stack is /probably/ lower than ABAP, this validation does not work.
I hope I have explained it clearly.

WAD: Inhibit Export Text Web Item

There is a Text-Web-Item in our Template which is not bound in the export command.
That´s why this Text-Web-Item was never exported in the past.
Now we´ve made a upgrade from SAP BW 7.0 to SAP BW 7.31.
And now the same Text-Web-Item will be exported (even though it is still not bounded in the export command).
We´ve found out that this problem (under SAP BW 7.31) only exists if a Text-Web-Item is inside a container.
Text-Web-Items that are outside of a container still won´t be exported.
Any ideas how to prevent this Item from export?

That would be technically possible, but I don´t want to change 400 Templates
Because the problem exists since upgrade to 7.31, I´m looking for a reason and a fix without changing all existing templates.
We´ve found out that the problem only exists if a container with layout-type "dynamic" is used. If I change to "GRID" the Text-Web-Item will not be exported. Is this a bug?

WAD 7.0 Checkbox Group web item - ability to select/deselect all

Hello. I am currently using within the Web Application Designer 7.0 the web item Checkbox Group. I would like the ability to add a "select all" and "deselect all" button(s) to select all values and deselect all values respectively.
Has anyone in the community been able to accomplish this? Our user base has asked about this frequently.
Kind regards,
Lynn Peter

Hi,
This can be solved by using a Container layout item and a button group item.
1 Put the Checkbox item and a button group item in the Container layout item.
2 Configure a button in the button group item with the command CLEAR_SELECTION_STATE and connect it to the criteria/key figures you wish to use it on.
3 Configure another button similarely with the command SET_SELECTION STATE. (In our user case this button was not necessary)
4 Configure the Container layout item to display your checkbox and button group as desired.
This should solve your problem, we had exactly the same problem with the before "unfriendly" user interface.

2004s "Group Web Item" Explanation

Hi, Can someone explain the "Group Web Item" to me? I put several items in it, but when I configure the "Group Web Item" it requests a single subordinate web item? And when I run it only the one assigned web item shows up on the screen. Is it supposed to only display 1 item? Doesn't seem to make any sense to me.
What am I missing here?
Thanks, Ken Murray

Hi Kenneth,
In a group item you can have web item assigned to
1. Caption
2. toolbar
3. Design
All the webitems (that can be container/conatiner layout or any other web item) can be assigned to 1, 2 and 3.
Also you can use conatiner layout and assign couple of other web items and specify all the web items correctly in the conatiner layout or
you can create a table in a container and drag and drop other web items in the table.
Then you need to assign the conatiner or the container layout to the design subordinate item. (3-design)
When web template with group item is executed, the web report will only shows up the web items that you have assigned in the 3 areas; (design/caption/toolbar).
Can I ask what web items do u want to display? And what web item did you assign in the design (3)?
I hope this explantion helps you. Please let me know if have any questions.
Thankyou,
-Sini
