Differences in web vs. client

Does anyone know of documentation that lists the differences in functionality between the web and fat client version of 9iAS Discoverer? I know there were substantial differences in the 4i versions, but I was under the impression that the gap had been closed. For PC maintanance reasons we're trying to limit client installs and have business users use the web version. I'm now being asked to provide the functional differences between the two versions.
Thanks.

Hello Marc
The next release of Discoverer after 10g (9.0.4) will have almost all the functionality of Discoverer Desktop, in addition to many new features and functionality.
In the meantime, Discoverer Plus and Desktop continue to be compatible, viz you can create and run queries in either component without any compatibility issues.
Regards

Difference Betn Web Client & Win Client???

Dear all,
I know the Web Client and Win Client. But i want to know the exact difference between them?
And Why and When We are using Web Client and Win Client and Which type of industries.
If any body have real time documents for using it pls forwad to me.
Can anybody explaing briefly.
Thanks in advance
Jayesh

These are the Main Difference between Web Client And win Client:
1.When it comes to the technology, the WebClient is based on BSP (business server pages), which are generated by the SAP Web Application Server and creates HTML pages so that all the agent needs is a browser. In contrast, the WinClient is basd on ABAP Dynpro technology and requires a installation of a SAPGUI on the agent machine or a terminal server.
2.In the area of multi-channel-integration, WebClient currently uses the ICI/BCB interface whereas IC WinClient uses SAPphone. Customers that have a SAPphone based integration up and running will be able to reuse this integration with IC WebClient. ICI/BCB based integration will be made available for IC WinClient customers with the 2005 CRM release.
3.One important difference is the general approach towards UI design. In the WebClient you will find specialized, optimized user interfaces for a specfic subset of business processes. The WinClient will let you reuse any business process objects from CRM online.
4.When it comes to integrate into other applications or user interfaces the WebClient can use any people centric UI (PCC UI) view (the CRM browser based user interface) or use WebGUI (aka SAPGUI for HTML) for R/3 (or other 4.6C/D basis based onwards systems) to render HTML. WinClient can easily integrate into any other SAPGui based application.
5.ICWEB Client support the auto suggestion of solutions
6.ICWEB Client has the functionality to replace views, add more fields with in the views.
7.Like win Clients web client doesnt support the reminder scripts but it provides the similar functionality with the help of Alerts
Following are the new eddition in web client :
My WorklistTo-do items for an agent (sales and service items, business activities, tasks)
Navigation bar
Browser-type navigation
Real time statistics
Connection to communications infrastructure (e.g., call statistics)  see Managers Portal
Scratch pad
Easy-access note pad integrated with interaction record
Guess it will help you.

Variable screen of webi rich client differs from one of Infoview

Hello
We are on BO XI 3.1 sp3, universe of the top of SAP BI 7.01 query.Webi version 12.3.0
Char1 is set to delegated search. Variable1 for char1 is mandatory, multiple single values on SAP BI side.
Webi reports (executed from webi rich client) allows search by value for this char1. Webi report (executed from infoview) doesnt allow any search for char1.
Button FIND (match case) looks inactive. It doesnt start search.
I tried different combinations (see below) but it doesnt help.
*XXX
XXX
XXX
Does anybody know that cases the difference?
Thanks

Herr Kommandante
Does it make a difference if you switch between HTML and JAVA viewers in Infoview?
Does it make a difference if you switch between View and Modify modes in Infoview?
Are you patched to the same level on both Client and Sercer?

Henry

What's different function between Webi on InfoView and Webi Rich Client?

My interest on Webi XI 3.1 version
Please details of describes on both of them.
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
The two use the same format and reports are interchangable. The big difference is that Rich Client can work offline and can import local files.
After that I suggest you look at

Difference between web server and servlet container

I can't able to figure out the techincal difference between web server(such as java web server) and servlet containers(such as jakarta-tomcat).If you please let me know then I will be very thankful to you.

The web server serves html pages to browsers that request pages. It can also send images, javascript, flash content, and a few other things. When a request comes into the web server for a servlet or jsp, the web server calls on the Servlet container to do THOSE jobs.
The Servlet container is the execution environment for a jsp or servlet (they are both servlets) to run Java code on the server and do logic.
So you see, the web server spits out static content, where either no logic is involved, or the client's web browser does the logic. The Servlet container is used for applications that execute code, perform logic, connect to databases, etc.
So they work together, but are completely separate logically.

Differences btwn Webi R2 & 3.1

Is there one common place where I can go to find out differences between BOXI R2 & 3.1? In particular, Webi.
Thanks.

In a few words,
As compared with XI R2, WebI 3.1 brings :
Personal data sources (txt, csv, xls)
WebI Rich Client for offline use
Track Data Changes
Autosave
Explorer interoperability
optional prompts
input controls (XI3.1 SP2)
Query on query (SP2)
fold/unfold (SP2)

BO XI 3.1 SP3 SSO with CMC and Webi Rich Client

Hello,
Is it possible in BO XI 3.1 SP3 to use SSO with CMC and Webi Rich Client ?
It works fine with InfoView, Designer and Desktop Intelligence.
Regards

Hi,
What kind of SSO authentication are you trying to set up? (AD, LDAP,...)
I think it's AD regarding your command line.
But be aware that in SSO, you don't need to configure the command line to run the client.
Have a look at the following guide.
[Configuring Manual Kerberos Authentication and-or SSO in Distributed Environments with XI 3.1 SP3.pdf|https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/sapnotes/public/services/attachment.htm?iv_key=002007204200000183782010&iv_version=0005&alt=2BCE4CB10DF674B172F4F3F7B32A284F49333135358877720E883731B332AF34CACD2AB52C0A2C8DCACA09084EF4CB494E4E0F2ECE8E2F89772908C9CE70CD2DF77675F7F2D1750C09514BCECFCFCE4C8DCF4BCC4DB5F575F4F4F3F57771F571F6F70B01B25D83D4120B0A722092A599504EB16D715E3E00&iv_guid=DF838310BFAAE8F1B486001A64C54696]
Regarding accessing CMC with SSO, it's not recomended at all as if you break this access, than you can't connect anymore to the CMC and modify settings.
Regards,
Philippe

How to prevent downloading wsdl in weblogic web service client

Hi,
I get a problem regarding weblogic web service client. My working environment:
weblogic server 8.1
Windows XP SP2
JDK 1.4
I use the weblogic tool to generate the client jar file from the wsdl file.
 <target name="generate-client">
 <clientgen wsdl="ACCESS.wsdl"
 packageName="xxxxxx.client"
 clientJar="${client}/${AccessClient_jar_file}"
 keepGenerated="true"
 saveWSDL="true"
 />
 <javac srcdir="${source}"
 destdir="${client}"
 includes="**/AccessClient.java">
 <classpath>
 <pathelement path="${client}/${AccessClient_jar_file}"/>
 </classpath>
 </javac>
 </target>
After that, I create a client java file to invoke the service deploy in the server.
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
 int transactionId = 100;
 int id = 1000;
// Setup the global JAXM message factory
System.setProperty("javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory", "weblogic.webservice.core.soap.MessageFactoryImpl");
// Setup the global JAX-RPC service factory
System.setProperty( "javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory", "weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.ServiceFactoryImpl");
AccessServicePorts ws = new AccessServicePorts_Impl(argv[0]);
AccessService port = ws.getAccessService();
// Resource - create
Resource resource = new Resource();
resource.setRES_CD("Create ResCo");
resource.setCODE_CODE("code_cod");
resource.setRES_TYPE("Resource typ");
resource.setCOMMON_FIELD(common);
AccessDefaultResult resultItems = port.createResource(resource);
System.out.println("createResource : " + resultItems);
I find that this web service client always issue 2 http requests to invoke an web service method deployed in server.
1st http reqeust:
GET /AccessEpol/EpolServiceSoap?WSDL HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Java/1.4.2_08
Host: 127.0.0.1:8001
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
Connection: keep-alive
the return result is the wsdl downloaded from the server.
2nd http request is the real web service request.
The question is how could I eliminate the 1st http request because it's really unnecessary. I use other web service client like Axis 1.x, Axis client never has the http request to download the wsdl from the server.
I read through weblogic web service document. It do mentions that put saveWSDL="true" in the clientgen ant task. the default value for saveWSDL is true already. I did try saveWSDL="false" also. None of them can eliminate the 1st http request.
appreciate for any answer my question?

Hi David,
thanks for the reply.
More or less I agree some points you mentioned above.
I did use Axis 1.x to test the inter-operability. The web service was developed in Weblogic 8.1 and is a part of an existing web application. It will be merged to existing application deployed in weblogic 8.1.
I also program the web service client to test the web service.
The implementation of the server and client will be handed over the project team and training for supporting or continuous development have to be conducted by me. So I don't like to use two types of technologies which will make thing complex.
I found this issue when I tried to protected the web service endpoint, eg http://localhost:7001/epol/service, using the web application Basic mechanism. The wsdl URL http://localhost:7001/epol/service?WSDL is also protected in this case. Unfortunately the username/password pair is not sent to the server when the weblogic client download the WSDL from the server. In this case, the client failed and throw exception.

Error creating a web service client from th WSDL document (soamanager)

Hello everyone,
we have generate with the wizard a web-service using the function module BAPI_CONTROL_RECIPE_GET_LIST. Then we have generated with SOAMANAGER the end point. As test, we have used a web-service explorer of Eclispe and we can retrieve without problems the data.
Then we wanted to generate the web-servcie client with Eclipse Galileo (3.5.0) wiith the server GlassFish v2.1 Java EE 5 we first installed the WSIT jars, in order to support WS-RM protocol
We have started the generation based on the document obtainend within the soamanager under the "Open WSDL document for selected binding" link.
We have tried it several times and we always got the following error is:
IWAB0399E Error in generating Java from WSDL: WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy):

Do you know if we took the right document in order to generate the web-service client? Do we need to have some specifics settings in the configurations of th endpoint? (provider security, transport settings, etc...?)
If needed, or if someone would be nice enough to try to generate it on its side, I can post here the whole wsdl document, but due to its length, I first wait your comments.
Thanks a lot in advance for your feed-back
best regards
Pierre-André

maybe this should have been better posted within the forum Service-Oriented Architecture than standards?

Hi,
The error message said
the Permission(java.lang.RuntimePermission getClassLoader) has not been granted to USF.
I'd follow the suggestion
The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'USF','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'getClassLoader', '' )

Deploying Web Service clients to earlier versions of AS

Hello,
I'm using JDeveloper to create web service proxy for existing service to use in my Web Service client. For development, I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, for deployment of client application I'm using Application Server 10.1.3.0.
The problem is that AS 10.1.3.0 contains other versions of the libraries, for example, wsclient.jar, so, there's an error using Web Service Proxy (stub) as method setSOAPVersion() doesn't exist.
The question is how can I use generated stub with earlier versions of Application Server.
I've tried some things, but they didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong and step-by-step guidelines to deploy application are needed - I hope, it could be useful not only for me.
So, I found JDev 10.1.3 Release Notes (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/10.1.3.0.3/readme.html) and the following abstract:
Workaround for URL / WS Data Control Apps When Deploying to Third Party Application Servers or Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (4931009)
1. Copy the following JAR files to your target application server along with the rest of the ADF installed JAR files. The following JAR files are available under your JDeveloper's home directory.
bc4j/jlib/dc-adapters.jar
bc4j/jlib/adf-connections.jar
j2ee/home/lib/http_client.jar
webservices/lib/wsdl.jar
webservices/lib/orajaxr.jar
webservices/lib/orawsrm.jar
webservices/lib/wsclient.jar
webservices/lib/orasaaj.jar
webservices/lib/xsdlib.jar
webservices/lib/mdds.jar
jlib/osdt_core.jar
jlib/osdt_cert.jar
jlib/osdt_xmlsec.jar
jlib/osdt_wss.jar
jlib/osdt_saml.jar
jlib/ojpse.jar
jlib/oraclepki.jar
webservices/lib/wssecurity.jar
webservices/lib/orawsdl.jar
j2ee/home/jazncore.jar
2. Shutdown the application server and modify the application server's class path to include all of the JAR files that were extracted from the archive. Please refer to the application server documentation for details on how to modify the class path.
3. Restart the application server. You are now ready to deploy / run the application successfully.
So, I've created a new Shared Library with Enterprise Manager, uploaded all this files and, deploying application, checked this library too. This didn't help.
Thanks in advance, Valeriy

Hi Valeriy,
I have exactly the same problem. Have you been able to resolve this yet?

Setting timeout of web service client

I created a web service client using the java proxy for
a web service by running my web service in weblogic workshop test browser and by using
the jar file created by clicking on "Java Proxy" button.
i am calling my web service my adding code similar to this and it works
HelloWorld_Impl proxy = new HelloWorld_Impl();
HelloWorldSoap soapProxy = proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
But, i am not sure how to set the timeout of my client programatically.
Is there a way to do this ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anyway,
I figured it out myself, by looking at other posts and applying some reflection API
HelloWorld_Impl proxy = new HelloWorld_Impl();
HelloWorldSoap soapProxy = proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
// I learnt that this soapProxy is infact an object of HelloWorldSoap_Stub class
HelloWorldSoap_Stub myStub = (HelloWorldSoap_Stub)proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
BindingInfo bInfo = (BindingInfo)myStub._getProperty("weblogic.webservice.bindinginfo");
bInfo.setTimeout(5); //secs
myStub._setProperty("weblogic.webservice.rpc.timeoutsecs", "5"); // secs
// finally you can call the methods of the web service
soapProxy.Hello();
Please be aware that, upon time out, you would get an exception : <class = java.rmi.RemoteException
cause = javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException:java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out.>
Also, my env : Weblogic 8.1 SP4
