Data Service System In Visual Composer 7.1

Hello,Experts:
Recently ,i am focusing on the mirgration function of SAP NetWeaver,and visual composer is among them .
In netweaver 2004s enterpise portal ,i have done the system connection between Enterpise Portal and ECC and BW ,and the system alias can be accessed in visual composer .Both the bapi and infocube can be got by the system alias .The Visual Composer Application based on the backend data service is ok .
However ,i have registry the ecc system in CE Portal and its version is SAP Composte Environment SP5 .I can check out the system registry is ok . However ,when i open the Visual Composer on the CE Portal ,i couldnt find the system alias that i have registried .It is blank .Plus,we havent install SLD on the CE Java Server ,and solution manager is put forward to take the place of sld .
Can anybody help me out ? The problem has any relationship with the Enterpise Service Repository ?
Thanks for your help in advance .

Hi Eleanor,
first of all if you want to use SAP BW in Visual Composer for CE then you have to install Enhancement Package 1. SAP BW resp. queries, planning functions and so on is only supported with VC 7.11 (EhP1 for CE). I also recommend you to set up the SLD in your CE system resp. that it works as a "slave SLD" when you have an existing SLD in your landscape. There are wizards available in the NetWeaver Administrator.
Go to http://<host>:<port>/nwa to login into NetWeaver Administrator.
Navigate to Configuraton --> Scenario --> Configuration Wizard and choose the Initial setup of functional unit SLD.
If you want to have access to BAPIs there are two ways to access the system. You can define a portal system object to access the ECC or you can define in NWA a RFC connection to access ECC.

Hi,Govindu
I have read that message already .Thanks for ur help .

and my question is still up in the air .

Creating web service system for Visual Composer

Hello,
I seem to have made some changes that made my unable to create web service systems for Visual Composer.
The change I made is in NetWeaver Administration > Configuration > Application Resources > WebServicesFactory, I added the Configuration Property "UseCacheByDefault" with Boolean value = true.
After this, if I create a web service system in Enterprise Portal, the Connection Tests fail. In Visual Composer when I define a web service system, the error I am getting is: "Connector Factory not found for value WebServicesFactory".
I have tried to delete the UseCacheByDefault property I added as well as restart the server but I am still getting the error.
However when I test my web service using the Web Services Navigator, I am not getting any problems. So my guess is the problem lies with the connection factory.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks.

Hello,
Since creating WS system in the portal resulted with failed connection test, the issue has nothing to do with VC.
I'm just guessing, but try to configure proxy in the J2EE engine.
If that doesn't help I suggest you raise this question in the portal forum.
Best regards,
Shay

Problem with the Browsing of Services Registry in Visual Composer

Hi,
I have tried to connect Visula Composer of CE 7.1 to the Services Registry for ES Workplace by configuring 3 Web Service destination on my local server:
1. UDDI_DESTINATION
2. CLASSIFICATION_DESTINATION
3. Backend destination "HU2"
as stated in the tutorial "How to Browse an Enterprise Services Registry in Visual Composer" (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/605303db-9d5f-2a10-e0a2-c0e1c8af9e96&overridelayout=true).
After the configuration, I opened up the "Search" dialog in Visual Composer and selected "Service Registry" for the "Search in" drop down list and then clicked on the link "Advanced Search". An error message "XMSG_COULD_NOT_LOAD_CLASSIFICATIONS" was then displayed. I have tried to google the error message but to my surprise there wasn't even a single result for that.
Could anyone please help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joon Meng

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. It is actually my intention to try out with the Services Registry for ES Workplace. The thing is, I was able to connect my NWDS to the SR, but not in Visual Composer.
Below are the URLs for both destination.
1. UDDI_DESTINATION: http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/uddi/wsdl/uddi_v3_service.wsdl
2. CLASSIFICATION_DESTINATION: http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/ClassificationService/CS?wsdl
I tried to open the first URL in my browser and a WSDL document was displayed, but for the second URL an error message "503 Service Unavailable" was returned.
Does this mean that the second URL "http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/ClassificationService/CS?wsdl" might be the cause of the problem?

Data Source CE in Visual Composer

Hello Experts,
we are running on CE 7.2.
I wanted to read BPM task details into a custom application or generate a report of who has claimed the task,currently being processed by whom and the history of this information relating to every task in uwl.
I know that CE 7.3 offers BPM API's using which thiscan be accomplished.
However I have also read that Visual Composer can provide this solution.
I have the following queries:
1)what data source should be selectedif i choose to go with vc
jdbc BI template? or BI....we do not have a Bw system in our landscape and our datasource is portal DB.
2)Does that mean BI usage type will have to be installed alongwith BI jdbc connector..
3)what would be a more feasible solution ...upgrading to 7.3 or installing the BI component. ( we need to perform only reporting activity as to with whom the task is currently pending and ho had processed it in the past)

Hello Jun,
Thanks for the reply, however i still have some queries.
1)I could not find the standard BPM datasource in the dropdown of select providers.
I therefore selected BI Data sources even though we do not have a BW system .
2)I tried selecting standard BPM tables to fetch the data.
viz; BPM_MYTASKS_DS..I want to know if there is any standard table which stores information about who had and who is currently proceesing tasks , if yes can you please provide the name of table or how can i make it available in visual composer's "search for table" field while creating new model.
3)we are also trying to upgrade to 7.3
Now BPM & CE are on same instance.
Can only BPM 7.2 be upgraded to BPM 7.3 instead of entire CE portal from 7.2 to 7.3?
4)Also i read somewhere that it would be an entire upgrade to netweaver 7.3 and in usage type we will have to select the usage type of what we want to upgrade like CAF to 7.3, BPM to 7.3 and so and and so forth. Is this right?
5)Can also you please let me know in which situation we should use visual composer and when BPM api is suitable?
Thanks

Access data from SqlServer through Visual Composer.....?

Hi Gurus,
I could able to connect SqlServer database from Visual Composer. After that, how can I access table data from sqlserver database?
Thanks in advance....
Ravindra.

Ravindra,
Here is the work around to do this. You will need to create a New System. In the Portal go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> System Landscape. Create a New System from PAR. Select com.sap.portal.systems.BIUDI, click Next. Select SAP_BI_JDBC and enter all the information that you would normally use to connect to a SQL DB using JDBC. You can then in the VC run SQL against the tables. Open VC, and Navigate to the iView level and go to the toolbar and Select BI -> SQL Editor. It is pretty self-explanatory from there.

Peter

Using Data Services WSDL with Visual Studio 2008

I am attempting to use the Data Services XI 3.1 WSDL (I think this Data Integrator v 12.1) in Visual Studio 2008 and I am having some difficulty.
I am getting the wsdl from the following location: http://devserver:28080/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver2.0&wsdlxml
When I attempt to add the web reference to a project all look fine, I see a display of all the methods and their parameter description, etc. but when the add is complete it appears to be unusable. Attempting to instanciate the web service and call the methods results in unreconizable data types. The web service does not show up in Intellisense as a reconizable class, etc.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

try adding a "Service Reference..."
In the add Service Reference panel, click Advanced and then select Add Web Reference. Enter the url to the WSDL and see if this works.
If this continues to fail, try replacing 2.0 with 1.1 on your URL
ie: /webservices?ver1.1&wsdlxml
if that still fails, past the URL in a browser and see if there are any error messages in the <documentation> tags.
if you are still having issues, try posting to:

We are having issues connecting to the Services registry from the Visual Composer. The search on services in the services registry does not yield any results.
We have configured the NWA page as mentioned on the "Configuring the Services Registry" http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/46/94dd02c7b915ebe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
Any ideas to help will be highly appreciated.

Hi ZM
I had the same problem with my service registry. In Web Visual Composer, i didn't find any service in SR.
I resolve in two ways.
Configure the service registry in NWDS, there works fine, but i have problem with DC in VC in NWDS.
I use destination WSIL, with this destination i have found all the services

How export data in Excel From Visual Composer

Hay everybody,
I would like to export my data result from Visual Composer to Excel. I've tried with an export data buton, but the exported file has a very bad format in Excel. I've tried an hyperlink buton which contain the Reptname data of the query too, but I can't keep my filters. This second solution can be nice for the format. If anyone knows how I can keep my filters, I would be fine.
Thanks

I did not get solution by using BW 3.5 , can we export data to Excel ? I am refering

Update master data in BW with Visual Composer

Hi guys.
I have an attribute of an info object that I need to give the users access to update.
I would like to do it with visual composer.
I would like the user to see all rows in a table kind of view and the user will update only the rows that need to be changed and than he/she will click on a button that will update the master data table in BW.
I believe that I'll need to use a BAPI or a RFC for that? Does anyone know any good predefined ones for that?
Thanks
Shlomi

That's not really true. In VC you have access to all remote enabled functions. We have created specific functions to update attributes.
We are using it to allow our users to update their own master data instead of bugging the BI team.
Here is an example of our code.
Before I paste this in, you need to know a couple things.
1. You can only update one record at a time (with my code)
2. You have to pass back in the entire record, even if you are only changing one attribute of many.
3. It automatically does the attribute change run, so you do not need to to it.
This is a simple infoobject with a few attributes.
First we created a Get function (which collects the data and shows it to the user.
Then we gave them a edit button on the table that goes to a pop up.
The user selects the record to change, then hits the edit button.
When the popup comes up the data is shown in a form, with a save and cancel button, fields that you do not wish users to see or change, hide them, but they all most be present on the form.
The when the user hits save, it send it to the below function. The name of the infoobject is ZCAT_SUB.
FUNCTION zcat_update_subparty2.
""Local Interface:

SAP to Data Services System (Business Objects)

Hi,
Currently there is an RFC connection between Data Services and R/3 which exchange three idocs. Each idoc has an volume of 30k per day.
As we are trying to introduce PI as central broker, will it be recommended to bring PI into the scope thinking on the performance head.
As this would be simple idoc to idoc conversion, let me know the things that will help to reduce the performance overhead.
Also should i be using RFC adapter between PI and Data Services.
Also since the licensing model is based on CPU, what effect will it bring with these three interfaces?
Is there any other connectivity that we can try apart from simple RFC

Hi,
>>>Do you mean to say with dual stack, Idoc adapter is available both in ABAP as well JAVA.
yes you can use any of the two
but if you want to use ICO you can only use IDOC_AAE (java stack idoc adapter)
>>>I thought idoc adapter would present in Java stack when you go for java stand alone installation only.
no, with dual you also get it
>>>>That would solve my volume issues. What is the best way to find the size of an idoc?
send it via PI or easier and without PI - send it to an XML port (but this will give you the XML idoc size)

Michal Krawczyk
