Customising Business Package iView by deleting fields/column

Hi,
I wanted to know the tools/procedure require to customise existing business package iViews (in a MSS implementation).
If we want to say delete/add a particular field or column in an existing iView, what tools do we need? Visual Composer or Web Dynpro? Is there a step-by-step guide available for this?
Your input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Aniruddh

HI Aniruddh
If you want to change the iview, upload the par file of the iview to NDS, save it in another name.
Then make the necessary changes, and again upload to the portal.
Then make an iview based on the new par file.
But I don't think SAP provides the source code along with the business package. So making the changes to the par file will not be a straight forward method. You will have to decompile the class files and make changes in them.
It is a tedious activity.

Rajeev.

    That is a question which requires a long answer. basically both tools were created as UI-Tools, VC as generating tool for UIs (the old name GUIMachine pays some respect to that) and WD as metadata-driven UI tool (which also generates the UI-code).
    While VC originally was supposed to be something like the Rolls-Royce under the "iView-Wizards", WD was to be supposed to be the new SAP UI for the ABAP and Java-world and be a successor of ABAP Dynpro and HTML-B.
    As it turns out, UI alone without access to the BAPIs, WebServices etc. is not enough, so both were enhanced far beyond their original intentions.
    VC is now a browser based tool (thin IDE) that allows you to build applications, without ever touching coding.
    WD is a tool included in the NetWeaver DevStudio (based on Eclipse) and therefor more of a "fat IDE".
    In the coming NetWeaver-release out of VC-model UIs as WebDynpros (or other UI-technologies like Macromedia Flex) will be generated, so both worlds will be integrated.
    For quick applications without writing code (e.g. done by business experts), VC is a good tool.
    For applications that need to be pimped, i.e. code added to the generated code, WD is a good tool.
    And if I start now talking about CAF or ESI then it will be a very long night...

  • Load balancing for Business Package iviews

    Hello Gurus,
       we have installed SRM Business packages on our Portal system and accessing the SRM which has 2 application servers.How can we make the iviews to access any one of the application server as the link to ITS in iviews is static.What is the easiest and best approach to get them load balanced using Business Package iviews.
    Regards!

    Dear G,
    As I see your back-end system has 2 app servers... to cofigure the portal iViews to use both app servers you need to define that in the portal system object that is defined to connect to the backend system... You should look if the system object you use for connecting to srm is of the type: "SAP_R3_LoadBalancing"
    See also: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/1f/bddf3d48b05d5ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
    In addition because you are talking about ITS you could configure a WebDispatcher in front of your Backend SRM system...
    Good Luck,

  • Documentation on Business Package iViews w/ associated tcodes

    Is there one source of documentation for all business packages that exists where we can look up if a business package iView is associated directly to a tcode in a back-end system (i.e. ECC, SRM, etc.)?

    The only source of documentation I can think of is the Package documentation link available under SDN > Portal > Portal Content Portfolio.
    Hope this helps.

  • Print functionality in MDM Standard Business Packages iViews

    Hi Experts,
    I have successfully connected MDM repository and EP and created system objects and system aliases and suitable user mapping. Now I am having a page with 5 iViews - Text Search, PickList search, Hierarchy search, Resultset and ItemDetails.
    The requirement is to have a print button in the page which when, clicked will generate a user friendly (preferrably a PDF) page and will allow the user to take a print out of the resulting PDF page generated.
    I have gone through the following links
    [Re: Print button;
    To be more specific, I am still not sure how to add a custom button and action to a standard iView - the deployed portal content is not a Web Dynpro application =, although I am not very sure what exactly is it.
    Regards.
    Rohit

    Hi vara,
    Question 1: How to add default search criteria to Search iViews in
    MDM Portal Business Package
    Ans. You can make use of Named Searches. Open the Data Manager Create a entry in the Named Search table, select the desired Supplier as a search criteria and save the search in the Named Search created and assign this Named Search to the user in MDM Console. Now use this user while performing User Mapping step. This will limit the Records to the search criteria of the named search and whenever you create new records satisfying the search criteria, it will get added to named search automatically.
    For 2 and 3
    I tried this in MDM 5.5 SP02, but no luck

  • Issue regarding Cognos 82 Business Package iviews on SAP NW 7.0 Portal

    Hello,
    We have recently deployed Cognos business package (com.cognos.cognos82.epa) in NW 7.0 and followed the documentation provided by Cognos (i.e. Installing and Configuring Cognos8 on a SAP Portal). When testing the Cognos iView, we are getting the following error message:
    =======================================================
    Unable to process the request.
    CPS-CCM-1204 The method "initCookie" of the Markup interface failed.
    A more detailed description of the error that occurred can be found in the log.
    =======================================================
    Has anyone run into this error before?
    Another Question: Do we have to define a Cognos System in Portal Landscape? (This was not mentioned in the documentation!)
    Any help on this would be very much appreciated and also I will provide points.  Please help me on this
    With Regards,
    Sudheer

    Hello Sudheer,
    Get Cognos to provide you the documentation on "Enabling Single Signon with Cognos8..."
    In addition to importing the Cognos business package, you need to setup a SSO between Cognos and Portal.  so, your Cognos support should be able to provide you documentation on setting up SSO.
    hope this helps.

  • Change iviews installed from a business package

    Hi experts,
    I'm working on EP 2004s and I would like to know if there is a way to change iviews installed in the portal from a business package using Visual Composer. Can I copy them into my own created package in VC?
    Thanks
    Panos

    Hi,
    Usually Business Package iviews - especially the older ones - aren't based on Visual composer models but rather older IView technology. Therefore, it should be impossible to change them in VC.
    I've heard that SAP may be considering releasing business packages (XSS?) as VC models but never heard any confirmation regrading this. Probbaly based on the support-related questions. I once blogged on this <a href="/people/community.user/blog/2007/01/30/enterprise-soa-explorations-fragments.

  • Business package style sheet change

    How does one go about pointing a business package iView to a different stylesheet. For example the Universal Worklist iView that comes with the
    com.sapportals.pct.emp.universalworklist
    business package points to sap_mango_polarwind style. We need to change that to a custom style sheet that we have created.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Sunil

    Hi Oliver,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The style we wish to change for the moment is the KM favorites iView that comes within the business package com.sapportals.km.favorites. I tried to download the KM.par file in eclipse but was unsuccessful.
    I know how to change the style throughout the portal. But the business package KM. favorites iView references the sap_mango_polarwind style only.
    This reference is what we wish to change.
    Many thanks.

  • Business Package Result Set

    All,
    Is there a way to show the PDF thumbnail in the business package iViews without writing custom code. When I look at the products table using Data Manager, I am able to see the thumbnail for the PDF, when I see the data in the portal using the iView, PDF is just shown as a link.
    Thanks,
    Munish

    For the benefit of the people who are looking for the same information, updating the message.
    SAP came back and said, this cannot be done.  Meaning, you cannot display PDF as thumbnails in Business Package for Master Data Management 5.5 SP5.

  • Drop Down Boxes not Populating on the SCM business package through EP7

    Hi ,
           All would greatly appreciate if any of you out there has experinced this problem
    We are using the Enterprise Portal which has recently configured using https or SSL. we are using the Business package SCM 5.0.
    When we use the SCM system directly and we go to any iViews we have all the drop down boxes work perfectly well . If the user selects the Value help (drop down boxes) they all show the value and then the selected value populates back to main screen. However, using the Enterprise Portal if the User goes to the SCM business Package iView the value help shows up all the value, but the value that is selected does not populate back to main screen.
    Now again if we use http as opposed to https we do not have any issue.
    Thanks . Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

    I don't have a clue, but figured I might make a suggestion. Did you touch and hold the pick box? Hope that works for ya.

  • How to unistall Business package Ess 1.0

    Hi all,
    By mistake I have deleted the some of the worksets in Portal which is created when deployed the Business Package Ess 1.0 into SDM.(Employee Self-Service(role) and Personal information(workset).
    Can anyone tel me how to redeploy the business package or Is there anyway to
    bring back the workset deleted without deploying the SCA files.
    Please can anyone help me. Its urgent please.
    Thanks
    Ponnusamy.P

    Hi Ponuswamy ,
    The uninstallation of business packages are called as De-installation which for the BPs which are no more used.
    <i><b> Note</b></i> during de-installation that content objects could be shared with other business packages. Before uninstalling content objects, check whether another business package uses the content objects.
    Solution  is  you must De-install Business Package manually   as there is currently neither a standardized nor automated procedure for uninstalling business packages.
    So delete all the worksets which have been created under ur Business Process because the lost worksets cannot be loaded without running an installation again.
    The best solution would be to delete all the Business Package content and
    Follow throught the complete installation once again.
    The installation steps can be found if u download it from SDN in the BP manual
    or this .<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/89/c84440eff00272e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">link</a> could help.

  • Modification of ABAP Web DynPro iViews delivered via Business Packages

    Hello Everyone,
    If this has been answered before, I apologize.
    Is there any 'supported' way ( or 'unsupported' ) to modify the out of the box ABAP WebDynPro iViews which are delivered via some of the new Business Packages for ECC 6.0?
    For example, I want to hide some fields on the 'Create Order' iView delivered in the Business Package for Internal Sale Representative..
    Thanks

    These Business Packages are just iView definitions that point to normal Web Dynpro ABAP components/applications that reside on the backend ABAP system.  They can be enhnaced like any other WDA application.

  • MDM 7.1 Business Package -- Item Details iView eventing

    We are using MDM 7.1 Business package in portal. We have requirement where we need to make the fields clickable /mouse over on the item details iView so that when the user clicks/mouse over on the field it should popsup a custom webdynpro application. I was checking the business package documentation and it seems there is only one epcf event for post save which can trigger custom webdynpro when user clicks save button but nothing else on field levels. Can anybody shed some light on this. Any other approach other than custom development of whole details view?
    Thanks

    Any ideas on this?

  • IViews/Business Packages  for News and/or Unit Converter

    Hallo,
    are there any iViews or Business Packages available for the following tasks?
    1. News iView with the possibility to refer to documents, have user (role) specific buttons (Create New, Edit, delete...) and Subscription Services using the cm-functionality
    2. An Unit Converter, to convert some specific items like length, weights...?
    Please let me know.
    Sebastian Traeder

    Hi Sebastian,
    for the first request, easyWCM seems to be quite close. It's a business package which closes some gaps in the standard, for example that there is no connection between the PCD and the KM structure; that there is no internationlization feature in KM; that there is no dynamic switch so that users with the corresponding permissions are confronted with extra possibilities (like create/edit...) whereas endusers only see the content - and all this by using just one PCD structure.
    See http://www.easyWCM.com
    For the second request, I don't expect that there is a special portal solution / business package. But for sure you will find java libs / example implementations on the internet, which easily could be build into some iView implementation.
    Hope it helps
