Custom components in design studio via netweaver

Hello,
we are using design studio 1.2 sp2 deployed on netweaver 7.31. Client version of design studio is 1.2 sp2, too.
We have a problem to display the custom components - downloaded the latest version from here http://help.sap.com/boad
If we try to use a custom component an error occured: "Web item xxx could not found in application ... "
I read this post https://scn.sap.com/thread/3550473 but we do not have BI-Platform installed. Regarding to this post, are there some services we have to restart for netwaever, or do you have some other suggestions?
Thanks
Robert

Hi Robert - I am not deploying Design Studio to NetWeaver but there seems to be some notes surrounding it
Could you check this note and see if you are on the proper patch for 731? http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1945541

Unable to open sdk extension google map in design studio 1.3

Hi,
i registered all sdk components into design studio client tool after i try to use google map and drag into my application however nothing happened just keep loading for a long time, even i used google api key within jsiclude: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=mygoogleapikey&sensor=false
but nothing happened, anybody who solve this issue?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Emre,
i've experienced the same problem.
First make sure that you've included the api key in both jsiclude parts. The first is for the map without data and the second for maps with data. Save the contribution.xml and run the application (google maps sdk) which will open design studio. Then drag the map into your application and save it. Close both Eclipse and DS and reopen your application again. It should now work..... Maybe there is a better way to do, but it worked for me.

Design Studio Crosstab - Limitation?

Hello All,
Below is a summary of issue I'm facing at a customer location.
Design Studio CrossTab :
Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4
north
100
120
130
142
south
123
176
132
123
east
130
187
154
134
west
132
133
189
134
I'm currently working at a customer place on a dashboard requirement and found this gap in requirement for crosstab.
Would really appreciate if anyone can point me towards a workaround to achieve this.
Consider the above sample cross tab which shows regional sales by quarter.
It is required to be able to click on any of the numbers and go to a detailed report for those two dimensions : EG : click on 100 and open detailed report for NORTH/Q1.
We plan to achieve this by using design studio for first page and on click open a webi document thru OPENDOCU and passing respective parameters.
The problem is , in design studio – it is not possible to click on a measure to capture both the dimensions.
In the CROSS-TAB component of Design studio,We can either capture region or Quarter but not both at the same time.
Is there any way I can click on the numbers and capture the associated two dimensions for the key-figure.?

Vinay, as you that cross tab will let you select either on row header or column header. Meaning, you can select either row value or column value.
So this can be achieved but you need to have dimensions either in columns or in rows. I tested this scenario and could capture both dimension values.
Apparently, it is a workaround not a solution
var div=CROSSTAB_2.getSelectedMember("_dbYX8CwZEeS6mO4guBZEDA").text;
var type=CROSSTAB_2.getSelectedMember("_dbY_ACwZEeS6mO4guBZEDA").text;
TEXT_3.setText(div+type);
You may use these variables in your OPENDOC.
Hope this helps!

SAP Design Studio ODBC Driver Not Found error while creating HANA connection.

Hi,
While creating SAP HANA ODBC connection in Design Studio via Tools > Preference > Application Design > Backend Connection. I am getting error ODBC Driver Not Found. Error screen shot is attached.
My Design Studio version is 1.3 win 32 bit
My OS Win 7 64 bit
I have installed both HANA client 32 bit and 64 bit.
I have tried creating DSN ODBC connection via "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" and via Control Panel > Administrative tools > Data Sources(ODBC). But it does not detect it either.
I am not sure what needs to change to let Design Studio know which HANA client driver to use.
Please help!.

Hi Rohit,
This seems to be a known bug with Design Studio. Please see the SAP Note below on this.

Design Studio 1.2 SDK - How can standard UI5 themes be loaded for custom components?

The SAPUI5 library that is embedded in the Design Studio framework includes standard themes such as the Blue Crystal theme. When developing UI5-based SDK components with DS 1.2 SP00, I was able to successfully load the built-in Blue Crystal theme by simply including the following statement in the component.js file:
sap.ui.getCore().applyTheme("sap_bluecrystal");
However, as of DS 1.2 SP01 this approach no longer seems to work. I don't receive any error messages either. The theme simply doesn't load like it used to or sometimes might just load partially.
The only difference I can see between SP00 and SP01 in terms of the UI5 framework is that it has been upgraded from version 1.12.7 to 1.14.6 but this shouldn't impact the validity of the above statement.
I'd appreciate it if anyone has any ideas about why the applyTheme() method no longer works and how this issue might be fixed.
Of course there is the workaround of manually including the theme files with a <cssInclude> tag in the contribution.xml file but this seems like a waste of resources given that technically, the theme is already included in the Design Studio framework.

Integration of BOBJ Design Studio dashboard via SAP EP

My client is currently piloting the implementation of a BusinessObjects Design Studio dashboard. For maximum flexibility, the Add-on for BI Platform (BIP) has been installed, and we are able to successfully execute the dashboard from the BOBJ LauchPad. Dashboard presents query results from BW.
However, the client now wants to deploy this dashboard to their SAP Enterprise Portal environment. They want the user to be able to access/execute the dashboard from within EP. This is where we have faced several obstacles. Initially, we received a blank screen upon dashboard execution, but this was recently resolved by installing the proper iview template for the BOBJ Design Studio analysis application. (OSS Note 1672422)
Now, when we execute the dashboard via EP, the system presents the BOBJ "hourglass/rainbow circle", but does not complete. I checked the Process Overview in the BW system, and there is no activity taking place during this time.
We are currently at the following release levels:
BW 7.3
Portal 7.4
BOBJ Design Studio 1.4
I would like to hear from someone who has successfully implemented this scenario (Design Studio dashboard, with BIP Add-on, being accessed via SAP EP).
Since we installed the DS Add-On for BIP, or course, we didn't install the DS Add-on for SAP NetWeaver. Do we need to install the NetWeaver Add-on if we want to deploy the dashboards via Portal (even though they are managed/transported within the BI Plaform)?
Any thoughts?
Rod

Hi Ingo:
Just wanted to give you an update on our issue. As you suggested, I created a new Design Studio application, containing only a text box. This application was successfully rendered within the Portal.
Afterward, I started experimenting with other dashboard components, including a crosstab object that was linked to a BW query as a Design Studio datasource. The crosstab was also successfully rendered within the Portal.
I then added a chart to this application and re-executed. While the text box and cross tab were visible, the chart was missing.
After researching further, someone mentioned Google Chrome, so I downloaded it and executed the test dashboard containing text box, crosstab, and chart. It rendered successfully in Portal (via Chrome)!!
Afterward, I then executed my initial dashboard application via Chrome, and it also rendered successfully!
I had previously read several posts regarding IE compatibility with Design Studio, but I was always able to use IE to successfully render Design Studio applications via BOBJ LaunchPad. Therefore, I didn't think I had an issues with DS and IE. However, for us, the issue seems to be between DS, EP, and IE.
Now, we have to deal with an organizational issue of web browsers, but that's a separate challenge.
Thanks to all contributors for your insights.

Running Design studio application in Netweaver platform

HI All,
I have developed a complex Dashboard project with nearly 105 queries in Design Studio(1.2) application in BI BOBJ 4.1 SP 3 and its working fine.
All my data sources are BW queries.
Now we want to see if we can deploy the application directly on Netweaver platform instead of BOBJ and create an Portal iView based out of Design Studio application.
Please let me know the steps to migrate the reports.
Thanks for your help,
Manju

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for the replay.
Sorry for the confusion. I have 18 DS application which is using 105 queries.
When i try to connect to Netwever from DS i am getting the following error.
Thanks,

Component Panel ( Design mode) loosing custom components

Wonder if anyone else encounter this phenomenon?
After placing custom Flash components ( compiled intoa SWC
file) in the project's <Libs> directory, they are available
and working in Source mode, but you can't see them in the custom
Folder (In the Design Mode). Only after closing and opening the
project they appear.
However, they keep disappearing ( randomly) from the folder,
and only after Open/Close project they reappear. Other custom
components such as MXML modules behave ok.
As far as the application these components work fine and are
recognized by the compiler.
I'm using Stand Alone, FB3 version 1201207; on WXP Sp2.
( Reported this as a bug
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11554
Did anyone else experienced this (similar) behavior ?

Same problem here. Except I have even less luck getting it to
consistently appear than you. Sometimes it works great, other times
they vanish and nothing I can do to get them to return. MXML
modules seem fine.. it's just with the Flash SWC files. Plus
sometimes I have no visual indication in design view of the Flash
module on my canvas, and other times it displays. (This is with no
changes to the SWC file at all). But it always runs okay.

Best Case - Saving Design Studio in BI Launchpad or Netweaver?

Hello all
what will be the Best Case to save a Design Studio? We are using to deploy the Netweaver Portal.
Would it be better to save it to the Netweaver and transport as like a WAD and publish with a iView? Or
would it be better to save it to to BO Launchpad, promote it and publish with a the Open Document Method?
Any Answers would be great!
Thank you.
Adrian

I think this depends on the end user requirements
When you publish to the BI launchpad, then the Design Studio application is easily deployed to BI Mobile, which is one of the key features of Design Studio - "mobilize your dashboards"
For that consideration alone, I prefer deploying to the launchpad

SAP Design Studio SDK Editing

Hi,
I am an SAP BIBO consultant. One month before I started using Design Studio 1.2.
Is there any document that will help in BIAL coding???.
Can anyone please show me from the scratch how I can edit the existing standard components in the Design Studio through SDK. I have tried up the addition of Custom components(Colored Box, Google Maps) in Design Studio. That worked fine. But my issue in modifying or editing existing components. How I can import those standard components to Eclipse and how to start editing???
Also one more thing, please show me from where I can download the UI Development Kit (SAP UI5) for Design Studio 1.2. and how to install the same.
I am using,
Eclipse Helios
JDK 1.6
Please help me in this........
Regards,
Arun Krishnan.G

Hi Arun,
In answer to your questions:
1. You can learn about BIAL scripting through the following resources:
Design Studio Application Designer Guide
Design Studio Tutorials
Getting Started with SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio
Design Studio e-book
2. It is not possible to modify the functionality of the standard Design Studio components via the SDK. You can however modify the appearance of standard components by applying CSS as shown in this tutorial video.
3. You do not need to download the UI5 Development Kit to incorporate UI5 controls into SDK components. To access a UI5 control you need to develop the component using Handler Type "sapui5". The approach is described in Section 6 SDK Extensions Using SAPUI5 Controls of the Developer Guide. You can also download the SDK Templates and Samples which include UI5 examples.
Regards,
Mustafa.

Design Studio 1.3 applications shows only white screen on Mobile BI App (iPad)

Hello Design Studio friends,
after upgrading or BI platform (4.1) Design Studio Add-On from version 1.2 to 1.3 we could no errors, everything works fine. But now we have the issue, that all of our Design Studio Applications do not work on iPad.
All mobile Applications are listed correctly in the overview in the Mobile BI App. But after starting one application the loading screen is running and after loading only a white screen is displayed. No data, no components, no variables screen etc.
Do you have any idea about the reason of our problem?
Here some additonal information, what we have done:
After upgrade we restartet the BIP and checked that all services are running.
We saved new Design Studio 1.3 Applications on BIP.
We run the Design Studio Applications local (everything works) over BIP on Desktop clients (everything workds), via Mobile BI App (iPad iOS7, newest iOS Version and newest App version) (only white screens are shown).
We deleted all metadata on iPad and reconnected to our BIP.
Our DataSources, integrated in the Design Studio 1.3 applications, are based on SAP BW Queries of a BW 7.4 system.
Many thanks for help and your support.
Kind regards
Patrick

Hi Tammy,

Design Studio 1.3 - Concern

Hello Community,
With the release of Design studio 1.3 - the client expectation has gone up. There are few question that need to be addressed.
How feasible is Design Studio 1.3 over SAP Dashboard designer in adopting and in implementation ?
If the client is having only BW with them without any BI/BOBJ landscape in picture, can design studio 1.3 be a wiser choice over Dashboard designer? If Yes then why ?
In BW landscape what need to be done to get mobile access of design studio dashboard ?
Does Design studio support Data caching for offline report access and for faster report access - considering back-end as BW not running on SAP HANA ?
How complex is the coding with respect to custom development ?
Awaiting detailed answers.
Regards
Kumar

Kumar:
How feasible is Design Studio 1.3 over SAP Dashboard designer in adopting and in implementation ?
It depends on your requirements and needs. SAP has said many times this year if your data source is BW, HANA or a universe that Design Studio supports, start with Design Studio. Otherwise, per SAP, you have an automatic migration project.
Q: "If the client is having only BW with them without any BI/BOBJ landscape in picture, can design studio 1.3 be a wiser choice over Dashboard designer? If Yes then why ?"
A: How would they use Dashboard Designer in BW only? Where would they deploy? Not following.
See previous answer re: automatic migration project if you start with dashboarding on BW.
Q: In BW landscape what need to be done to get mobile access of design studio dashboard ?
A: BW only? Question came up at ASUG Annual Conference. In the SAP Enterprise portal there is a Design Studio iview and a portal mobility pack
Q: Does Design studio support Data caching for offline report access and for faster report access - considering back-end as BW not running on SAP HANA ?
A: It does not support offline today.
Q: How complex is coding?
A: I am not a coding expert, but I am able to apply SDK components. We heard customers at conference say they deploy without coding too. If you know JavaScript, you will be comfortable with Design Studio is what I have heard.

Design Studio - Display a dummy image when searched photo does not exist

hello,
I would like to display an employee photo, which should be searched on the server folder with URL.
Each photo name in my folder is : "employeeId.png".
But some employees do not have a photo, and in this case I try to display a dummy photo, which I have in the same folder with employee id 00000000.
My variables are :
- URLlink variable is global variable type URL, which gives a path to my folder with employees photos
- empnb variable is filled with employee id through getSelectedMember on cross table
- filename variable to search a photo on the server
- filename0 variable for those employees for which photo does not existe
I tried to test the existence of an employee photo with getHeigh() method or getImage() method, to check if a photo filename set in Image1 is a real
one. Cause if a photo does not exist, the Design studio put by default a small black cube inside Image.
Unfortunatelly these tests are not working .
My script:
var filename = URLlink + empnb + ".png";    // existing employee photo
var filename0 = URLlink + "00000000" + ".png"; // dummy profile photo
IMAGE_1.setImage(filename); //Try to put a photo found on the server
var height = IMAGE_1.getHeight();
if (height == -1)
{ IMAGE_1.setImage(filename0);   }
else   {IMAGE_1.setImage(filename);}
Does anyone have other idea how to test if a photo exist or not in my folder.
Many thanks!
Bea

I do not think it is possible today (at least not via checking of the image size). Such function would require
* code extension in image component -> boolean IMAGE.exists()
or
* could be made by custom image implementation via design studio SDK. This custom image would send a request via Ajax and check response status. in case not existing some dummy images would be placed.
for both options there are no plans as of today.
the only option I see today is to generate in the folder "dummy" images for all employes who do not have any real image.
