Creating a Map in Web Application Designer

I was wondering what I need to create a map in WAD. Do you have to use the ArcView GIS software for the map to work correctly? Any information you have on configuring this is greatly appreciated.

Hi MAC,
1) 0country is itself content world map, So you can use it for demo purpose.
After installing 0country from business content
Then please check 0country contains MAPS
RSD1 -- 0Country
Click on Maintain
Click Business Explorer
Under BEx Map please click on Edit shape files
It's contain three Objects- BW_GIS_DBF, BW_GIS_SHP, BW_GIS_SHX
These three files confirms itself that Geographic data.
2) ESRI is providing only GIS software for processing MAPs (Which contains some free demo maps).
Use following link for Ordering ESRI product

Print PDF file with the lay out created in the BEx web application designer

Got the following questions (problems) when print a web report created in BEx Web Application Designer to a PDF file:
1. The tile (which has a company logo and report name in it) was not printed, is it possible to print a title (with company logo) on each page of the PDF file?
2. Want print the filters that have value specified on the PDF file, is it possible to do this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Simon,
you can achieve this requirement i.e. using this way of implementation:
1. Create a new template which contains the required fields (company logo etc) and set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template and add the filter values (variable names) you want to display on the PDF. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item.
3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly.

Create style sheet in Web Application Designer

Hi all,
I need to change the color from light-blue into green for text field "Last data refresh" in Advanced Web Items "Info Field Item".
I have an idea this should be fixed by style sheet integration - but could anyone please contribute how I managed this practical?
XHTML code for Info_Field_ITem is as mentioned:
                           <td >

                                <bi:WITH_TRAY type="CHOICE" value="" />

Hello Thorsten,

Just try to use HTML commands like this.
    <td >
<font color="green">

</font
                        </td>
It worked for me in WAD to change the fond and everything. Also the portal did not change the colors with its theme.

Web application designer & iframe

hello all,
I'm creating some templates in web application designer and I ran into a strange piece of code:
<iframe name="I4" width="220" height="166" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" border="0" frameborder="0" style="BORDER-TOP: #ffffff 4px solid" src="[SAP_BW_URL_!IID_100]">
any idea what this [SAP_BW_URL_!IID_100]"> is calling? Especially the IID_100 is a mystery to me, is it another template? I guess not since searching on that term does not display any results...
thanks in advance!

Joris,
the src tag refers to the page the iframe refers to, this could be a template or a web page.
What you are seeing is a bug in WAD. You can edit the HTML source and put in the correct src tag for the same and then save the template before making any changes. You should save the template first and then change it again if necessary.
There are many other forum discussions on the same , pl refer the BeX forum...
Hope this helps..

Security for creating web templates using web application designer

I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.
Thanks,

How to create own Web Items for Web Application Designer

Hi all,
is it possible to create own Web Items for the Bex Web Application Designer? Each Web Item has a Master Web Item and a class that is responsible for rendering data. I need a solution to get the Web Item's data - i.e. the content of a table (if Web Item = table). So my approach would be to create an own (Standard) Web Item with an own class. For example I would like to change the table's Web Item parameter <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/> to an own class...
Is this possible?
Or ist there any possibility to get the Web Item's data by an interface?
Any support is welcome...thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Dominik

if you want to create your own webitem check out the link given by other sdner.
if you want to be able to execute BW query using abap you can check out the following weblog.

WEB application designer - Web items - How to create new

Hi!
Is there a way to create new web item in web application designer, and <b>NOT</b> a copy of existing with different parameters (Web items located under Standard tab).
It would expand possibilities of web app. designer a lot!
Another question is, how to use BSP elements in BEX WEB reports (templates). Is this possible or not?
Thank you in advance!
Egi

Hi,
in principal you can write new web items but this is not supported by SAP as this is a modification.
You would inherit from a standard web item class (for example CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_VIEW) and maintain tables rsrrenderer rsrrendereratr rsrrenderert and optionally rsrrendererdep
BSP itself can not be used, unless you include a BSP Application via Iframes in your Web template.

Web Application Designer need help ASAP

Hi All,
I have a requirement to customize the analysis item in a web application designer.
I have created new templetes and added a analysis with a query view as data provider .
in the output I require to hide some rows of the query view and also change the color of the text i.e the numbers.
How to modify the output of the analysis item which is coming from a query view or is there any way where I can modify the output of the web templete.
Thanking You,
Rukmini

Dear Devi,
If you do not want to use the default display and behavior of the Analysis Web item, you can use the Modification parameter to change them. You can modify the table structure and the table cells.
The Modification parameter provides modules whose use can be controlled using additional parameters.
This function enables you to use similar options to those available in earlier releases with the Web Design API for Tables. Unlike the Web Design API for Tables, modifications enable you to make targeted changes to the display and behavior without any programming.
Prerequisites
The modules are the main prerequisites for making modifications to the Analysis Web item. The modules are implemented in Java. The SAP Basis infrastructure in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 does not support any customer modifications or extensions to Java coding. Customers are therefore not able to develop their own modules for modifications to the Analysis Web item.
SAP delivers a number of sample modules. You can use parameters to modify the display and behavior of these modules.
Procedure
You use the modules as follows:
       1.      Select a module from the sample modules.
       2.      Specify the module in the Modification parameter of the Analysis Web item.
       3.      Control the display and behavior of the module by specifying the module-specific parameters.
Result
The table of the Analysis Web item is displayed in an individual manner using the modules. The behavior of the table may also be different. For example, you can define commands for table cells.
Example
For example, you can define a fixed column width or display comments in cells.

URL link in rows/colomns of a report web application designer.

Hi,
I would like to create a URL link in a report which jumps to documents on livelink.
For example:
1. bw    30.000    www. google.nl
2. sap   40.000    www. sap.com
3. basis 50.000   www. nu.nl
etc.
etc.
Do all the rows have different URLS, is that possible in the web application designer? Or do I have to use RRI? Or a user exit?
Thanks for your help en replies.
Rishma.
Edited by: R. Debi on Oct 7, 2010 11:20 AM

I used the RRI already but would like to have a hyperlink in the report. (So, the prefix of the URL is always the same an I have put this in RRI and used the & and contract ID as dynamic part of the URL.)
In a BW web report, our customer would like to display a characteristic value as a hyperlink, so that when clicking on the link, the user is taken to an external website holding a document. SO I am just looking for a javascript perhaps? Or maybe even abap in transformation? To actually create the hyperlink in this report.
Thanks a lot,
Rishma

To use Web Application Designer release 2004s do we need to have portals???

Hi
I would like some clarity regarding whther we need a portal or not.
If you use Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x) it works fine, you can create reports and then it shows in SAP Easy Access under favourites. Executes fine, no portal is used.
Now when I want to use the new Web Application Designer I can not execute the reports. Gives me error
"Java communication error: RFC destination NOT_CONFIGURED does not exist", the window it appears in has a text saying it can't conect to the portal. Then notes that I look at regarding this seems that the connection between SAP BW and Portal must be set up.
So can please someone tell me whether you need the portal to use the new Web Application Designer release 2004s
Thanks in advance
