Context Menu in Bex Reports - position problem

Hello Experts,
In CRM 2007 we have a BSP application with a BEx frame that displays BW reports.
When we want to jump to a CRM activity from a BW report - we right click the report and use the "go to --> activity" feature of the context menu.
The problem is that the context menu is always being displayed in the same place.
So if a user right clicks a report that is located at the bottom of the web page - he has to scroll all the way up to see the context menu.
The context menu is suppose to appear at the location of the pointer when performing right click - but it doesn't.
I hope i made the problem clear
has anyone encountered this before ?
Any help is appreciated...

Context Menu in BW Report Iview not opening after upgrade to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
We have a unusual problem that, the Context menu of the BW reports for options like filtering is not opening post Upgrade to Portal 7.3 for End users.
However, with Super Admin role, the Context menu opens for the BW report Iview.
I have tried giving the same permission that the Super Admin Role has on the BW Report Iview to the End users, still no success.
Any idea? Anybody faced same kind of problem?
Please revert for any more info.
BR,
Uday

Hi Uday,
This is really a shot in the dark since I have not done much with 7.3. Have you checked for UME actions that are assigned to the administrator but not the end user?
Best regards,
Duncan

2.1.1 Problem with User Defined Reports with actions on the context menu

I use the User Defined Reports quite a lot, and export and publish these to other members of the team as Shared Reports. I'm also quite disappointed that there seems to be no further development in this area of SQL Developer.
One of the totally undocumented features of User Defined Reports is the ability to attach actions to a context menu, and pass data from the grid to a procedure, for example. Copying, then exporting the sessions report (from All Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> Database Administration -> Sessions) exposes the XML for adding actions to the context menu. The snippet for killing a session looks like this:
<item reload="true" reloadparent="false" removeFromParent="false">
<title>Kill Session</title>
<prompt type="confirm" >
 <label>Kill Session?</label>
 <default><![CDATA[]]></default>
 <value><![CDATA[]]></value>
</prompt>
<sql><![CDATA[ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '#SID#, #SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE]]></sql>
<help>Kill the selected session.</help>
</item>So to add this type of functionality to your own user defined reports, you need to export the report, edit the XML, and import it again. It seems to work fine to add this to the master reports, but if you add an <item> element to the child reports, the context menu items appear on the master report too, and they are duplicated many times. I'm not sure if the action of exporting the report adds to the number of times the context menu appears.
Warning - if you edit a report using SQL Developer, all the <item> tags are removed. Once you've added actions to a context menu, you can only edit the report by exporting it, modifying the XML and importing it again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you found a work-around?
To the SQL Developer team: Are there any plans to allow the adding of user defined context menu items to reports using the GUI in the near future?

You're right the context menu needs a GUI desperately. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

K.

Unable to view report from Bex Report Designer

Hi,
When I log on to Bex Report Designer, I click execute button, it is giving a blank page. It is neither giving any error nor any message. We have recently installed NW2004s and BI Cont 703. Now my problem is how to make report visible in the BEX Report Designer.
Thanks,
Subhani

Dear Prakash,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have religiously followed your Blog. As far as I know any one who wanna setup BEx has to follow this. It is the one place where all the settings related to BEx front end were discussed and disclosed. Thanks a lot for your exemplary attempt.
Though you have mentioned about the .NET frame work I could not understand how it will effect the "insert" menu of BEx report designer. But i have checked that also and its matching with your recommendations.
My question is pretty simple. With sapgui6.40compilation5 with all the latest patches both for gui, BW and BI. Will i get the options of "Report section", "Report section based on Querry"in the "insert" menu of BEx report designer.
The mentioned options "Report section", "Report section based on Querry" were shown in the webnair of BEx report designer. Pls check the link:
(As per the SDN these menu items should be available in BEx report designer..Pls observe the Insert menu in the very first few seconds)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9c059b57-0701-0010-3283-e5e8669f827e
We have installed and upgraded the system to spstack 8 and done all the settings. Our front end is also updated with the service packs. But we could not get those options. If you can give me your mail id i can send you the screen shots.
Thanks & Regards,
Sridharb

Configure the Context menu

Is it possible to configure the context menu in BEx 3.5?
What I want is to give the user the possibility to access Go-To reports but not e.g use the drill-down option.

There isn't option to modify the context menu.
You can give only quey without free-characteristics and give only possibility of Report-to-report interface (query jump):

Creation of Custom context menu in CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT

Hello all,
I need to develop a custom context menu in the Text Editor.

Hello Tejas
The following sample report ZUS_SDN_TEXTEDIT_CTXMENU shows how to trigger context menus in text editor. Please note that the editor must be set enabled.
If you inactivate subroutine SET_REGISTERED_EVENTS the new context menu function will no be displayed. Thus you need to register the event for context menu handling.

Add a menu item in context menu at Sales Quotation

How can I add a menu item in context menu at WH column in sales quotation screen? To access to the context menu, locate an active quotation and right click at an active WH column and a context menu will be shown.

Hi Cherine,
You can use the RightClickEvent to add your context menu depending on the position of the right click.
You have a sample explaining how to use the RightClickEvent in the SDK UI Samples called 22.RightClick.
Hope it helps

Context Menu Position Help

My client wants to use Theme 12 instead of Theme 13 for the document library packaged application. I am having issues with the context menu. I have the menu working. I dont need links to threads about getting the menu to work. My issue is the position of the context menu is wrong and I have been fighting the css for two days trying to get it to work, I even took a crack at it with Firebug and couldnt get it sorted, but css's arent really my thing either. It appears on the bottom of screen on the left side of the screen. It seems to appear below all other regions, but I havent tested to confirm this.
Using APEX 4.1, IE, Firefox, and Chrome.

I know this isnt proper by any means but this is what the code ended up looking like
<script type="text/javascript">
function doc_menu1(pThis,pId){
 var lDiv = $x(pThis);
 var test1 = $('#'+pThis.id).position().left + parseInt(lDiv.offsetWidth)
 var test2 = $('#'+pThis.id).position().top
 if(gRow!=lDiv){$x_Hide(gMenu)}
 gRowClick = $x_UpTill(lDiv,'TR');
 if(!gMenu){
 gMenu = $x_AddTag(document.body,'div','');
 gMenu.id = 'MENU_HOLDER';
 gMenu.style.posTop = parseInt(findPosY1(lDiv));
 gMenu.style.posLeft = parseInt(findPosX1(lDiv)) + parseInt(lDiv.offsetWidth);
 $x_Show(gMenu);
 var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=DOC_MENU',0);
 get.add('DOC_ID',$x(lDiv).id);
 get.GetAsync(doc_menu_click_return);
 return;
function findPosX1(obj) {
 var curleft = curtop = 0;
 if (obj.offsetParent) {
 do {
 curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
 curtop += obj.offsetTop;
 } while (obj = obj.offsetParent);
 return [curleft];
function findPosY1(obj) {
 var curleft = curtop = 0;
 if (obj.offsetParent) {
 do {
 curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
 curtop += obj.offsetTop;
 } while (obj = obj.offsetParent);
 return [curtop];
</script>I put it in the HTML Header of the pages that had the js calls. This worked without any problems.

Portal context menu incorrect position

Hi all,
Environment: BI 7.0, Portal 7.0
Context menu positions incorrectly in portal when I click right mouse button on elements of tables. Sometimes, on the top of page or far away from the table, rather than beside the elements of tables.
Could u tell me how to adjust context menu display position in portal management?
Thank you!!!

Hi,
The problem which you are facing might be because of the browser problem.Remove all your cache and temp files in browser and try using portal.

Web Application Context Menu - Problem posting comments

Hi all,
We are using SAP BW 7.0 (nw2004s) and the web interface to the reports (Web Applications). Some specific reports have to enable users to insert information about specific lines (comments about non-conformity issues). We were planning to insert documents (via context menu) integrated with portal KM.
Using the Analyzer, we had no problem at all. All the information posted was saved in KM and we could read it using "RSA1 - Documents" and using the Analyzer. The commented value shows a flag that indicates the comment (a small "paper" picture). But when we try to use the Web Application to post this information, it is saved ok but it can only be read using "RSA1 - Documents" and not by the Web Application (it always shows no new documents) and there's no indication in the commented value at all. Has anyone seen something like that? We need to use the web interface. Using the Analyzer is not an option.
Thanks in advance

This is not the 2004s runtime in the 2004s system. The url you provided is the BW 3.x runtime in the 2004s system. Make sure on the client side in IE, you don't have and script blocking or popup blocking. For client side settings in IE, make sure your settings are specified as outlined in this blog:

Also, make sure your url has the fully qualified domain name for your server.

Context menu's in Alv Report (Grid)

hello,
what i have done- i have created a ALV report by using the function modlue REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
what i want- When user clicks with Right mouse button on some cell.
context menu should get displayed. a list of menu should appear then user can select one of these options and eventually i'll on user command.
however i know the concept of context menu's and i have created context menu on screen elements in module pool.
but i have no idea whether these menu's can be created on ALV Grid.(simple ALv Grid----not ABAP OOPS)

check the program BCALV_GRID_06, it gives a demo of context menu functionalty,
but it uses cl_gui_alv_grid
