Design Studio - put initial state on chart

Hello,
I work with DS1.3 SP01, and I have a problem with putting initial state on chart after RESET action from a button.
Initially I was inspired with Zahid’s post http://scn.sap.com/thread/3566300, but it’s seems to be other scenario and needs.
I this case, I have a tabstrip with 5 pages, where each presents pie charts. Once we click on one of the chart, a crosstab is displayed for each of them. When I click on button RESET, whatever a page is currently displayed I want to clear all filters for all my charts. During a RESET I hide all cross tabs – so I don’t have to liberate datasources linked to crosstabs.
My code for RESET button seems to work quite ok, cause it gives me a chart with initial state, ready for next selections…. in condition that I do not click on RESET just after 1st click on pie chart.
For example :
- on page 1 : click on pie chart 1, then I go to the page 2/ click on chart 2 - come back to page 1 => click reset (chart 1 - initial state, chart 2-selection is highlighted)
or
- on page 1 : click on pie chart, then I add additional filter from panel_filter for all charts => click reset, works fine for all charts.
If I try to click on RESET just after an action of click on the pie chart, I would say it stays locked, and my RESET do not put him in initial state. But If I click again, it works ! I would like to understand what is happening just after click on pie chart, why the state of chart seems to be "locked" ?
My code:
DS_1.clearAllFilters();
CHART_1.getSelectedMember("XEMPLOYEE").internalKey;
DS_2.clearAllFilters();
CHART_2.getSelectedMember("XCOUNTRY").internalKey;
// put invisible all cross tab from different pages
CROSSTAB_1.setVisible(false);
Thank you
Beata

Hi Beata,
why you need those bold lines?
My code:
DS_1.clearAllFilters();
CHART_1.getSelectedMember("XEMPLOYEE").internalKey;
DS_2.clearAllFilters();
CHART_2.getSelectedMember("XCOUNTRY").internalKey;
// put invisible all cross tab from different pages
CROSSTAB_1.setVisible(false);
I do not see reason for those. I suspect, when you clear the filters, those lines can cause some issues as the clearfilters call is for sure triggering event to chart and then the selection is cleared.

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.

Can we reverse the category axis in Design Studio 1.3 column charts?

Hi All,
In WebI, there is an option to reverse the category axis for charts.
Do we have something similar in Design Studio? I have a requirement to reverse the order in which labels are appearing in the chart.
Please do help.
Thanks in advance for your response,
Sarah

Sarah,
You can go to Edit > Initial View and change the sort.
Would this work for you?

Show Only First N Rows in SAP Design Studio Chart/Table

Hi,
Is it possible to show only first N rows of data in SAP Design Studio Charts/Cross Tab ?
Eg
Bex Query Output
Here If I mention First 2 rows, my chart looks like below
If I mention First 4 rows, my chart looks like below
Thanks
Anil

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually our requirement is, we have one Bex Query where we are using Ranking Function.
We have 15 customers, and we need to know the ranking based on some calculations.
Whenever we execute the query with different time periods, the ranking of Customers will vary, for example if I execute query for year 2014, customer 1 can be Rank 1, If I execute for year 2013, Customer 7 can be Rank 1.
From this Query I need to show only Top 5 Customers in Cross Tab/Chart.
We tried to put condition on CY Ranking in Bex to show only Top 5, but the result was giving some diff customers and also for all Time periods we are getting same Customers In Top 5.
To overcome this, we thought instead of putting condition on Bex side, we are trying to pick only first 5 rows from Bex Query and show them in Chart/Cross Tab, something like we will map only first 5 rows in Xcelcius.
We would like to know is there any functionality in Design Studio to show only first 5 rows of data.
Regards,
Anil

How can I to define permission in Task States- Designer Studio 3.1.4

Hello, Can anybody help me please.
Tools: OSM 7,Designer Studio 3.1.4
The problem:
My flow there is a lot of parallel task and my enterprise need that task state can be change for state Suspenso.(my custon task state) when the user chooses the status "pendencia" (my custon status) in the flow. When the task to reach the state "Suspenso" the user can not to change it for other state, only a specific Role (Interrupcao) can to change it for other state. I need that my task has in your state the possibility to define permission for each Role like the order has. In the order I can to define, for each transition of states (Aborted, Cancelled, In Progress, Suspended ...), which Role can to change the state of her - Order Lifecycles Policy.
Any idea??
Tanks!!!!

Order lifecycle policy governs the order states, not task states.
The user that is assigned to the task is capable of moving it into any state - there is no ability to restrict this to a role for a given state.
Brian.

SAP Design Studio 1.3 Chart Tooltip Format Broken?

Design Studio 1.3 now offers the ability to format the X axis, Y axis, DataLabel, and Tooltip for a chart.
All of the items listed above honor formatting in the chart, except the Tooltip.
The screenshot below will show you a DataLabel formatted as percent using this formula: "0.00%"
Now I'm going to apply the exact same format formula ("0.00%") to the Tooltip, and it will not work correctly.
As you can see, it will not honor the formatting in the Tooltip. I have tried to using the built in formatting like: "#,##0", "#,##0.00", and "$#,##0".
The built-in formulas do not work for the Tooltip either.
Does anybody have any ideas how to get the Tooltip to format?

Hi Joseph,
Did you find your way around this issue ?
I'm experiencing the same and it is quite troublesome :S

Design Studio 1.3 - Trellis Charts unusable

I have tried using a Design Studio 1.3 Trellis Chart and when in Design Mode and runtime mode, the trellis is unusable. I am running IE11 and per the DS 1.3 PAM, this looks like it is supposed to be supported. It looks fine in Google Chrome. Am I the only one facing this issue?

Michael,
i`m facing the same problem with IE11. The problem is in the user agent string of IE11. I don`t know what`s wrong with Trellis Charts, it seems to me that it wrong recognizes agent string, but if you replace version of browser in agent string to MSIE 10.0 (for example) it will work fine.
You can try it in IE11
1. Press F12
2. Go to Emulation
3. Change user agent sting to IE10
and you will see that it works in browser.
To fix it in Design Studio you had to modify windows registry.
0. Press Win+R, type regedit, press enter)
1. Go to this branch of registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent
2. Create or modify string parameter "Version", set value to "MSIE 10.0"
3. Reopen Design Studio
profit
So it helped me)
PS. Sorry for my poor english, it`s not native for me

Advanced chart styling in Design studio

Hello!
In my chart (combination - dual Axis) i need to compare data between subsidiaries.
In Bex query i have 2 characteristics: 0comp_code and 0calmonth
and 3 key figures: "Hired amount", "Fired amount" and "Turnover %".
In Application i've placed "Hired amount", "Fired amount" on Axis1 and "Turnover %" on Axis2.
During the application i move 0comp_code dimension to the Rows.
It looks fine then there is only one selected subsidiary - every key figure's color distinguish well:
By the way in chart's additional properties we can't select color for individual key figure, only for Axis:
As variant we can use Conditional formatting for chart to set key figures color.
But if select two or more subsidiaries Design studio automatically tints each key figure for additional subsidiary:
It is simple to manage coloring for Key figure in Axis2, because there is only one Key figure:
In my case i used such a CSS code:
// Color for line in Axis2
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-datalines g.v-axis2 path:nth-child(1).v-lines.v-morphable-line
{stroke-width: 5;
stroke: #ADC6E5}
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-datalines g.v-axis2 path:nth-child(2).v-lines.v-morphable-line
{stroke-width: 5;
stroke: #FF0000}
// Color for dots
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-markers.v-datashapesgroup g.v-axis2 g.v-marker g.v-datashape path.v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint
{fill: #000000;}
But i don't know how to colour key figures in bars:
If use this code, the result is not what i need:
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(even) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: green;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(odd) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: yellow;}
As well as a listing of all childs in CSS not a good idea.
Please advise a solution how to manage colouring of key figures for every subsidiary.
Like this (diagram from excel):

Hi Yaroslav,
By using CSS alone there are less possiblity of acheiving dynamic coloring for your situation,
As you already mentioned ,
nth-child(even)
nth-child(odd)
Not producing the result you expect, the next option will be formula
nth-child(-n+3)
Which will also wont provide the result you expect i hope. So the last solution will be this one by specifiying it indivdually(hard coded)
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(1) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: green;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(2) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: yellow;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(3) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: blue;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(4) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: red;}
I think this are all possiblities with the nth-child pseudo selector.

Exploring Design Studio 1.1

Hi Everybody
This is my first post and I could really use some help in exploring SAP Design Studio tool as a professional dashboarding option.
I currently have access to Design Studio 1.1 and I am trying to create a sample dashboard to showcase to client on how powerful design studio can be as a dashboard tool.I could use some ideas as to what features I could explore and what components I could experiment with here.
As of now I have used a tabstrip with some dropdowns to show sales data by geography( continent,country,state,city) in a chart using design studio 1.1.I have run in to some trouble with drill down.When I use all the dimensions in the initial view the chart displays values across all the dimensions but i want to drill down on each dimension only on selection of a value in the dropdown .Can this be achieved in DS 1.1 ? I have created multiple data sources editing each initial view to accommodate one dimension only (i.e. one datasource for continent,one for country and so on) and then use multiple charts to display them and then have use setvisible to true to to give a feel of drilldown.Is there a better and easier way to do this?
Also please suggest some ideas to incorporate to fully explore the capabilities of this tool.

It looks like you are not on the right version of the BI Platform. Are you installing the BI platform add-on?
What version are you using?
You need to be in BI4.1 or BI4 SP5 (I think)
Why not use the support package to install the client version of 1.2 first?

Horizontal/Vertical Scroll in Design Studio 1.1

Hi,
We are using Design Studio 1.1 SP1,
I am using cross tab in the design studio to create a desktop application, I selected more number of columns in the cross tab, But in the cross tab i dont see horizontol/Vertical scroll bar in the layout.Please see the below attachments.
The data source is connected to a BW query with characteristics in the rows and key figures in the columns.

Hi Srinivas,
This is as per design.
Horizontal and Vertical scroll bars are enabled only in reference to the measure/Keyfigure entries.
In your query definition I could see a lot of Dimension/Characteristic values and there are only 2 measure values.
The expected behavior here is a scroll bar should appear when the data set or result set is not fitting in the assigned crosstab space. And moreover Scroll bar will only appear if the atleast one of the measure values is made visible in the crosstab.
To put it short, in your example horizontal scrollbar will appear when you choose (not more thn) 4 dimensions as only 5 columns are visible. This will enable one of the measure values to be displayed and hence the horizontal scrollbar.
Reason for such a design:
Crosstab display could be misleading if the entire dimension selection is not made visible and hence no scrolling is possible for dimensions.
E.g If the sales is sliced based on Region, Country and City. And in the initial display if only City and sales information is visible, then this will not communicate the entire information intended.
Note:
If you are not happy with this behavior or design, please raise a ticket explaining your scenario demanding the usage of more characteristics. We shall process this and respond to your request.

Bharath

Design Studio behaviour according to query read mode property

How does Design studio behave according to the Read Mode property set here in SAP : (RSRT transaction, query properties) :
It seems like Business Objects tools (Analysis, Webi, …) don’t behave in the same way according to these properties, even if they all use the BICS protocol. What is Design Studio behavior?
In fact, I’ve tested 2 queries, both with many free characteristics (because I swap dimensions in my charts thanks to scripting), but
one with default values on CALMONTH (12 last months),
one with a customer exit variable that I set with the exact same values (12 last months),
when analysing the behaviour in RSRT I see that choosing the H option will add a where clause to the 1st query, “SQL” seems then identical in
both cases, and statistics are the same (see below). With A option, the 1st query statistics are worse and the 2nd one statistics stay the same.
So knowing if Design Studio takes this option into account is important.
At the beginning, I was expecting that Design Studio would retrieve more data cells with the default values query (all months are retrieved and some kind of local filter is applied to display only the 12 last months) than with the variable query (only the 12 last months areretrieved, no need to apply any additional filter, and if the end user wants some other months then the script has to update the variable, and waiting time would then be worse). I guess it could be true with read mode option set to A.
I know that some answers have been given on this subject, saying that even updating only default values thanks to the filter panel was implying a roundtrip to the back end, but I can only understand this statement if H option is taken into account by Design Studio…
I would like to better understand exactly what is Design Studio behaviour, and if there is any benefit to use variables to set queries filters (filter panel usage is not straightforward then), or if default values and native filter panel usage is ok as it has the exact same consequences on data volumes retrieved, back end roundtrips and query performances.
I guess that the answer depends on the capacity Design Studio has or not to take the Read Mode option into account.
Thanks in advance!

So DS takes this property into account.
If the read mode is set to H, then playing with the filter panel has the same consequences on data read and data transported statistics (safety belt limit statistic too) than the effects BEx variables would have.
So
- If, as I do, you hate the look of the prompts screen
- and/or if you find that using BEx variables is not optimal for filter panel management (because if you use the same datasource for the filter panel as for the chart, values appearing in the filter panel will be filtered according to the BEx variable, then the end user can't select a value out of this restricted context)
- and/or if you can afford a first run of the query with some default values instead (i.e. if your queries are performant)
then I find it more user friendly to offer your end users to bypass this ugly prompts screen and to directly access a beautiful dashboard based on some default values, that may be interesting to them, values that they can change in a second time having access to the whole list of values in the filter panel... Furthermore, it may take the same time, with performant queries, to set the prompts than to run the query with some default values and to change them thanks to the filter panel.

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?

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.

Design Studio not reading plan data input - How to debug it?

I am using Design Studio, created a grid and using a Java program I am sending events info into EL. I checked in BAM object > Content and it is getting updated with the new data, however, the Update button in DS is returning with 0 rows updated.
I set the DEBUG log level in the BAM/*.config files but I still get no many debug details..
Is there a way to confirm/test the EL is working from DS?
Can anybody clarify to me what setup is needed specific to EL/DS that maybe causing this issue?
thanks in advance

Hi,
If your plan is reading data from a queue that java program is sending data to and updating a data object and the you have a grid, grid would not show anything.
Grid is only used to initially test whether data is coming through, once you have done testing you remove and put the BAM Insert/update transform to send data to BAM.
Also you use the Plan monitor in BAM Administrator to run the plan automatically.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Using gauge in a dashboard created through Design Studio

Hi,
I need to use a gauge in my dashboard. I am using Design Studio. We have added all the existing SDK through Eclipse. But it is not having a gauge in it. Can someone help me on creating this?
I have seen one example of creating gauge through Pie chart. We cannot use that in our dashboard.
If anyone knows any other way to create gauge, please share with me.
Thanks in Advance,
Richa

Step 1
Make sure your data is right. Assuming your data structure is e.g.
Location   Utility    Graph Point 1    Point 2    Point 3     Point 4
A               1           10                     20           30           20
A               2           10                     50           30           10
B               1           10                     30           30           20
B               2           10                     20           30           90
Then if you put a column in to the left of your location and concatenate your Location and Utility ( = B4 & C4 ) you'll get a single selecting column containing A1, A2, B1, B2
Your location list selector can insert its selection into a cell     (value, e.g B)
Your utility label menu can insert its selection into another cell    (value, e.g. 2)
And a final cell can concatenate these two together (B2)
You then have a single cell containing the key for your new column and can use a VLOOKUP to get your data into the range over which your graph plots its data.
Does that apply to you?
