CProjects - BW interaction

Hi All,
Is there any guidelines to be followed while developing custom tables in cProjects, whose data will be used for BW reporting?
My requirement is, I have to create a custom table such that a row in this table can have multiple values for some of the fields. I hope nested table can't be created in ABAP dictionary. Hence, I have created separate tables for the fields which will have multiple values. The values from these tables can be linked with the main table using the primary keys.
Now, how to extract the data for BW reporting with these table structures? For instance, all the fields will be listed in the input screen as select-options. if one of the values in the multiple value field is given as input, it should retrieve all the other details from all the related tables (similar to how we query in database tables).
Regards
Vidhya

Hi Florian,
Thanks for reply.
I have maintained SAP_BW in portal and it's working fine. In PPM backend we have maintained RFC connections.
User is also exist in both the system and we have configured SSO between systems.
Report links are available on wd abap application APB_LAUNCHPAD .
One thing that I can notice that there is no iview available for all those BW /cProjects reports in portal content.
I am sure weather I am missing some configuration on PPM backend or BW backend system.
If you know the configuration step,please let me know.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Pdf output of web dynpro does not display in cProjects

Hi,
We created a custom web dynpro which calls a smartform and gives a pdf output. This pdf output is seen on the cProjects portal under a customized tab.
The issue is, some users are able to see this pdf output on teh portal without any issues but others cannot view it in their system.
When the first time the users try to view this they get a prompt for downloading activex from adobe ag and on accepting this they are able to view the pdf. This prompt does not come up for other users and hence they are not able to view the pdf output of the web dynpro.
I checked the activex control settings in the IE options and they are all enabled. Still I do not get this pop up prompting for activex download.
Are there any settings in the internet explorer or the system which have to be done to view the pdf on the portal?
Any thougths on this will be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
SImmi

'Project Status Report' activation in cProjects

Hi,
I was trying to configure the Status Reports in cProjects. I have completed creation of the form (chose DPR_PROJECT), activated the templates for the relevant Project type and also implemented the Badi with the correct form name. I am still unable to see any template dropdown in the application (cProjects). The DPR_Project template should appear in the same for me to create the Status Report. Please advice.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin ,
I think, it may be a ADS installation issue.
The configuration of ADS server is somehow not very easy, as I saw so many installations problems with status report in cProj. 4.0.
Would you please check the following notes:
900310 & 992492 .
And the following reports may be helpful to check the setting:
FP_PDF_TEST_00 (returns version number of ADS)
FP_TEST_00 (creates a test PDF)
FP_EXAMPLE_01 (creates a test PDF using SFLIGHT data)
FP_TEST_IA_01 (creates an interactive PDF that can be signed via certificate)
FP_PDF_TEST_12 (returns signatures of a signed PDF  requires secure (SSL) ADS connection  ADS_HTTPS)
Kind regards,

Interactive Gantt Element & UI feasibility - ABAP Webdynpro

I have a requirement to design a interactive timeline chart in ABAP webdynpro. Infact, the UI should be a replicate of CM33[Capacity Planning Workbench] standard transaction in our SAP. Can you let me know whether its possible to design such a interactive graphical UI in ABAP Webdynpro without using any JAVA coding/controls/plugins???
In my R&D, I have found that instead of using Business Graphics, Gantt UI can be used which will provide more interactive [lot of event handling] options. But it seems Gantt UI has to be used with XML and JNET.I don have any idea on this. I went through some of the documents but im not able to understand. Is it that JNET understanding requires JAVA skills. I dono how to design the frontend with Gantt UI and i could not find any useful documents.
Can you please help me stating whether this Capacity planning [CM33 transaction] can be replicated using only ABAP Webdynpro through Gantt UI element or any other UI without using JAVA coding.?? It will help me alot if you can provide some documents on the same..
@Thomas jung

You don't need to code any Java to use the Gantt-Plugin (JNET) in Web Dynpro ABAP. Although it is written in Java, you feed the plugin with an XML-file which contains the data in the required format. That format is extremely complex. You find the documentation below.
For learning purposes I recommend the Web Dynpro Applications:
- WDR_TEST_GANTT
- WDR_GANTT_TEST
You have to analyse the XML-files which are attached as MIMEs to the WD components. For your own solution, you will have to transform your data into that xml format, e.g. by a Simple Transformation oder XSLT.
[Documentation Web Dynpro UI Element Gantt|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/68/248841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
[JNet/JGantt Developer Documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/lw/uuid/f010ec31-9658-2910-3c83-c6e62904eceb&overridelayout=true]
The JNet Documentation contains additional examples, sadly there is none for Gantt. But it shows clearly the power of JNET.
If you get your hands on a PPM 5.0 installation, I highly recommend to analyse the newest cProjects-Gantt-chart which is amazing.

Interactive Gantt chart & save functionality

I've been trying to develop an interactive Gantt chart within Web Dynpro ABAP. Things have been going fine and altough there doesn't seem to be much documentation available, I've managed to get a simple Gantt chart WD application up and running.
The following is said in the documentation:
"It is possible to store changes made within the displayed Gantt chart as data structures again in the back end."
I understand this that if I do changes to the Gantt chart, I should be able to "track" these changes in my code (and for example save the changes to database or whatever). Anyhow, I am not able to get this done. I've put break points to the event handler methods, and read the XML from the context node, but the XML has not changed.
I also enabled the SAVE functionality for the Gantt (in the XML), which made the Save-button visible. If I click the save-button, I would assume that at this point the XML is updated with the refreshed chart data. Anyhow, this does not seem to happen. The XML seem to have lost the relevant part of it (=basically everything under the <graph> tag, which would include the changes (this same problems was addressed also before: Interactive Gantt chart - how to receive updated XML after user changes)).
Any hints are welcome. I guess that this should not be impossible. I assume that for example in cProjects (which uses Gantt chart a lot) is using this functionality - unfortunately I don't have an access to a cProjects system.
Kind regards,
Karri

Long time, hah..
Anyways thanks to behave like a responsible person on SCN and taking care of your threads..

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.

Multiple publishing pionts / text options for Interactive Server

: Flash Media Interactive Server.
Hi, Im curious if we can publish on multiple sites, I have 5 websites all password protected for members, and I want all 5 members areas to be able to view my live video as I publish it. So can I embed the flash player on all 5 sites and have it pick up the same live feed.
Also was wondering if interactive server supports or has a chat box, so students can type questions as I am explaining things live.
And One last question Can I stream my video from different computers or can I only use one ( the one I register it on ) I want other teachers to be able to use thier webcams from there homes and publish live videos as I do on my sites. ( At different times of course )
Thanks for any help
M

The first important thing to understand is that FMS has nothing to do with your website. Any .swf on any html page can connect to any FMS application. The two are completely separate
As to your specific questions:
I have 5 websites all password protected for members, and I want all 5 members areas to be able to view my live video as I publish it. So can I embed the flash player on all 5 sites and have it pick up the same live feed.
Yes, but keep in mind that password protecting the HTML content does not protect the FMS application. If you need to protect the video stream itself, you'll need to employ some sort of user authentication on the FMS side.
Also was wondering if interactive server supports or has a chat box, so students can type questions as I am explaining things live.
That type of functionality is supported, but it isn't automatically available. You'll need to develop an application to support text chat. There is a prefabricated chat component available at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashmediaserver/downloads_updaters.html (look for the flash communication server authoring components), but it's really oudated... the communications components haven't been updated since 2003.
Can I stream my video from different computers or can I only use one ( the one I register it on ) I want other teachers to be able to use thier webcams from there homes and publish live videos as I do on my sites. ( At different times of course )
You can publish from any computer to an FMS application.

A problem with hyperlinks in my Interactive PDF on smartphones...

I hope someone can help... I exported both an interactive and for print PDF from inDesign. When I view the PDFs on my pc the hyperlinks that I've made in the document work perfectly fine. When I view the PDFs on my smartphone, the hyperlinks don't work. I've gone through many forums to make sure all my settings were correct and have tried many different things to try to get them to work, but still no luck. Has anyone come across this issue? Is there any way to get these hyperlinks to work on a smartphone?

Interactive PDFs on mobile devices are nothing short of a crapshoot.
The readers are hit or miss and the better ones require payment.
I wish I had better news for you but right now, that’s the way it is.

Open document from interactive report

Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07.
In apex I am trying to accomplish the following:
1. create a link to a pdf or Word document stored on local network using the file browse button.
2. store the link to that file in my table but not store the actual document in the oracle table.
3. open the document from link in interactive report.
My dba does not want to store anymore documents into oracle because of performance issues we are experiencing with current applications that do this. Does anyone know the where to find sample code that will accomplish this task or will load the linked document into the oracle table but delete the document from the blob when the document is closed.

You're probably looking to use the BFILE functionality - a pointer to a LOB on the filesystem.

Questions on Interactive Report Icons

When I created an Interactive Report, rectangular icons have been automatically created on the left side of the report on every line.
When clicked one of the icons, it displays the details of the line in vertical order.
Here are my questions:
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?
2. How can I hide the icons?
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?
Thanks,
Guy

Hello
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?You can create another region, or page that will show your row description by identifier or rowid. You can do this by changing Link Column type to "Link to Custom Target"
2. How can I hide the icons?Go to Interactive Report -> Link Column -> Link Column change to (Exclude Link Column)
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?The same as answer 1.

Interactive Report view is empty

Hi,
I'm on CRM 7.0 EHP3. I'm encountering empty report criteria and display when open the Campaign effectiveness and all other interactive report page. Please see the screen shot below. There is no error message on the screen, as well as ST22.
I've configured the interactive report and ran the configuration wizard /CRMBW/CONFIG_WIZARD successfully and no error found.
Also the roles SAP_CRM_OR_ADMIN, SAP_CRM_OR_CONFIG and SAP_CRM_OR_USER and SAP_ALL are given to the user in both clients.
Please let me know what could be the causes.
Thanks in advance.
cheers,
julius

Okay, problem seems solved. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature... (: Anyway, this view selects data from threads that had been created from a portal application. And if you create threads from WC_Collaboration server admin console, there's no data will be selected with FORUMCRAWLER_VW view. Sorry, have no time to check SQL query for those DB view, may be this behaviour is reasonable.

Interactive report column filters to display differently than column values

Greetings...
We use images a lot in our interactive reports to provide a visual representation to a status, or something locked for update, or what-have-you. By default, when a user clicks the column heading of a column which contains images, the drop-down list that shows up displays the actual images, which is nice for the user to identify exactly which thing they want to filter on. The problem is when the user selects on of the options in the filtering drop-down, the resulting condition that is displayed under the interactive report search bar is the HTML code of the image. I'd like something else to display there because showing the user the HTML code is atrocious.
I didn't think what I want is possible, but then I came across the Page Locks page within ApEx (page 4000:291 in ApEx 4.0.1) which displays a list of all the pages of an application and whether they are locked or not. It also allows you to bulk lock or bulk unlock a bunch of pages. That page uses an interactive report with a column called "Status" which contains images that represent whether the page is locked or not. When you click the "Status" column heading to filter, instead of seeing the images of an open and closed lock, you see the words "Page Locked" and "Page Unlocked." And even better... when you select on of them, the condition that is displayed to the user is very user-friendly.
Can someone tell me how this is done so I can replicate it in my own apps?
Shane.

Why not create the IR using the text you require e.g. 'Lock', 'Unlock' and then use JQuery to replace the text in the report with the image you want. All the filters should then show the plain text and the report will display the image. e.g.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46801:1
Here's what I did:
Firstly make sure the IR has a region template.
Then create a Dynamic Action with the following attributes:
1. Advanced
2. Event: After Refresh
3. Selection Type: Region
4. Region: [select the IR Region]
5. Action: Execute JS Code
6. Fire on page load: [checked]
7. Code:
$('td [headers="TEST"]').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).text() == 'Lock') {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/locked_small.gif" alt="Lock" />');
else {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/unlocked_small.gif" alt="Unlock" />');
});Where TEST is the column name.
That's it, this may also be of interest:

How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!
file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Desktop/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIV E%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.html
I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes, I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
Thanks for any help.

Interactive form takes 10-15 minutes to open and exhausts system resources.

The version of Livecycle designer am using is 7.1
The interactive form that I designed is taking like 10-15 minutes to open and while its opening, its taking all the system resources as I see a prompt on the task bar besides time/date "Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low".
The tutorial project works fine, the TravelRequest.pdf opens just fine: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf
Would installing version 8.0 solve this ?
I am on NWDS sp18.
