Drag&Relate JDBC iViews

I have 2 tables in Oracle DB called Employee and Department which are linked by Foreign Key relationship of DeptNo. Can i create JDBC iViews such that if I drag DeptNo. column from Department iView into Employee iView, it displays me all employees working for that department.

Hi
you can do this in two ways.
1) Use the Unification platform.
2) Create simply iViews and create a Drag and Drop target
Using method number 1 you can create as many iviews based on as many different tables within many different databases. However, there is additional costs involved in using this software (check your licensing agreement).
The other method would be to simply have the two iViews that you have developed using the Drag and Drop targets. This way you can simply drag a particular column or columns onto another iView. The target iView can then retrieve these values as they will then be parameters to the iView. You can then execute the second query using these values. Hey presto you have you drag and drop iViews. This is NOT Drag and Relate as the query is defined within your own code and has nothing to do with the actual foreign key relationships, so therefore you can be very constructive with the queries
I hope this helps

Drag&Relate enabled iViews with PDK

Hello everyone,
I want to create a Drag&Relate-enabled iView with PDK on EP 6.0 SP6 but I did not find any guides about this topic. Does anybody know how to do this?
thanks in advance,
Jens Harzer

Hi,
the new, enhanced, pure Java, Drag&Relate is being released at part of PP SP7 (Stack 05), and now is available to use as part of the Portal Platform.
It is very easy to create content that enable Drag & Relate using the simple iView Wizard (both 'Query iView' and 'Application Integration iView') as well as the Role Uploader - they all create content that is 'unification enabled'.
of course, it is not that simple, and one needs to define the right systems, use the correct templates and so on, but, it is possible (as well as using the newly Context menu notion instead of Drag & Relate).
I encourage you all to consult the Portal Platform documentation to see how it's like, we are planning for more roll out activities soon.
Thanks

Hi,
Drag&Relate and Related links iviews are 2 different types of iviews.
1) Drag&Relate iview is part of the unification capability of the portal which can be used to get meaningful data by creating relations between business objects. Check

2) Related links iviews are iviews which are added as links or refernce iviews to existing iviews or pages so that it is easier to find them while navigating in the portal.

Drag&Relate Targets

Hi All,
When i open the page, i can see an option called "Drag and Relate Targets" What is the functionality behind it? How can it be acheived? Can anyone please help me out in this?
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
Drag&Relate targets are iViews that possess drag-on capabilities and have been associated to a page or iView containing draggable data in the form of links. They can retrieve from a database source information that is related to the information that is dragged onto it.
Advantage:-
Drag&Relate targets offer the possibility of a relation-resolving process that connects information from independent systems.
Drag&Relate means that when you click an iView, you launch a request that returns information. If that iView is defined as a Drag&Relate target, then when a link from another iView is dragged onto it, the launched request is modified by the additional dragged content. The dragged content acts as conditions that filter the data which is returned by the Drag&Relate target iView.
For example, a user dragging a part number from an asset management system iView onto a geographical information system iView that is a Drag&Relate target, could map all installations of a certain type of equipment at a particular site.
To enable Drag and Relate option go through this link:-
[Enable Drag & Relate|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f4/ab28b916cdce4b8af82c748e13f867/content.htm]

How to use a cofigured JDBC iView?

Hello,
I ghave configured an iView which implements a JDBC connection to my SQLServer, let's call it "myJDBC".
Can someone please show me a simple code example
(including relevant descriptors)of another iView which uses the JDBC iView in order to Query the Database and display the results?

Hi,
I assume by JDBC iView you mean that you have created a system that points to a database. Not JDBC iView as if you had created one of these you would already be able to configure the output at the time of the iView creation.
What Praveen has said is correct one way is to do a custom development using JSP. (He makes it sound easy!).
There are a number of options using the standard iViews provided out of the box rather than getting into java code.
There are two types that are quite basic but easily configurable.
They are JDBC Stored Procedure iView & Query iView.
The stored procedure iView obviously requires a stored procedure on the database that provides a response.
The iView creation wizard will enable you to be able to browse and select your stored procedure and for the query iView you should be able to select the tables etc and organise there output inside the wizard.
If you have difficulty when creating these iViews check you configured the system correctly so make sure you follow the steps of:
Create Alias on the system and Test connection
Provided usrpwd details to DQE on the system.
Configured your user mapping to the Alias using the personalize option on the portal header.
Once you have this all working you might like to look at a bigger challenge and get unification iViews working...

Portal Runtime error during 1, 2, 3 Drag & Relate?

Hi,
I have successfully install SR1 version of the EP6. I am attempting to complete the "1, 2, 3 Drag&Relate" weblog. During one of the steps you have to go to User Administration > User Mapping to set the Everyone group user mapping.
I am using sa id and the password I set during my SQL installation.
As I click save button after entering the input I get this error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for:
iView:

User Mapping not fully available..
Exception id: 2:07_11/01/2005_0001_4582650
See the details for the exception ID in the log file.
Any ideas why this error is occuring?
Thanks,

Hi Jin,
I think SAP note number 796540 will be helpfull to you.
It was known User Management issue which is not connected to any Unification feature.
Personal advice: try to restart Portal server.

Define main objects for Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6

hi all.
We are trying to implement Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6.
We have 2 different BW reports based on the same object "0MATERIAL". One of them should be a source and the other is the target. When creating the iViews for these reports the "main object" property has no values, therefor we don't see any symbol near the object we want to drag. The import of the "0MATERIAL" object from BW to the portal was successful.
Is it related to customizing the BW system or the portal?
thanks,
Sagi

I solved the problem - I added the BW alias before the main object name in the main object property. For example "BW.0MATERIAL" when BW is the BW system alias and 0MATERIAL is the object name.

Drag&Relate in SAP Portal 7.0

Hello experts,
I have a problem in SAP EP 7.0. I need to use Drag&Relate technology but in this version is not possible because this functionality is discontinued. The reason is that there is a technical reengineering of the Distributed Query Engine (DQE) technology.
But, what can I do? Is there any way to reproduce similar functionality?
Thanks in advance,
Belen

Hi there Belen,
I have the same problem, only that I am using EP 6.0 SP16. The DQE doesnt start because of the "Technical reengineering" and there are a number of related functions that are not available in the portal..
For example, I am not able to add Drag and Relate targets to iViews, there is no option for adding it in the detailed Navigation. There is also no Unification section in System Administration. I am really frustrated about it..
Have you found out anything regarding Drag and Relate technology and if it will be continued again in the future? Do let me know if you have found anything regarding it.
Thanks,
Sameer

Drag & Relate Icon not displayed

Hi,
While I am doing drag and relate scenario, the Drag & Relate Icon displayed in the iView's Preview. But when i logged into my portal it is not displayed?
After assigning the Super admin role, then it is displayed.Please let me know whether the Super admin role is required or else any other role to be assigned instead of Super admin role??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Senthil Kumar S.

Hi Senthil,
The user viewing the iview should ve the permission "full control " and "end user" for the system and iview. I guess for the super admin, the permissions are given correctly. Thats why you are able to get the Icon displayed.
Instead of assinging permissions to the role, set permissions for users.

Saravanan.

Drag & Relate scenario

Hello,
I have setup R/3 in the portal for drag & relate, and i have a custom iView which I want to use with the R/3 for drag and relate. the iView is the drag & relate target, it needs to be able to (when we drop "something" on it) get the parameters from the the object using the drag & relate context (?) and use them for further processing - i.e use the params in a query , etc. I would like to know, how exactly do i do that? Is that done programatically, or rather from the portal? Do I need to change my iView in order to enable it for drag & relate, and to act as a target? If yes, should i also do that programatically, or by setting up the iView properties? Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Angel

Hi Angel,
regarding your questions:
(1) Is that done programatically, or rather from the portal?
A: This is done in the portal.
(2) Do I need to change my iView in order to enable it for drag & relate, and to act as a target?
A: Yes, Changing iView properties.
(3) Change iView properties according to the iView type you use. Take the Unification Cookbook from SDN as a practical help for that.
If you need further help, please post again or let me know.
Merci and Best Regards,
Andreas

Drag & Relate between two BW reports

Hello together,
I want to implement the Drag&Relate functionality between two BW Reports via EP 6.0. I have configured the connection between Portal and BW with the report RSPOR_SETUP. The SingleSignOn and the import of business object is working well. After that, I took 2 BW testreports which were prepared for D&R. When I now drag the customernumber of report1 to the target report2, I get the error message "No relation found between the source and target business objects". The business object in both reports is 0CUSTOMER, so what relations should be set?
Where is the mistake, could anybody help me?
Thanks and regards.
Gerd Nedderhoff

Hi Gerd,
You have to link the two iviews. First double click the first iview. Then right click the second iview and make it as the target iview. Then in the navigation panel you see the other iview in the Drag and relate section.

Arun

Drag & Relate Issue.

Hi All,
We are on EP 7.0 and SP13. Definately we are able to use drag and relate feature as from SP12.
I have imported BO ( BUS0008 PLANT, BUS 2004 PLANNED ORDER, KNA1 CUSTOMER)
2 Transaction ivew were created as of on bus2004 (order), kna1(cusomer)).
Unification relation is mannual (bus2004 as source) , (kan1 as target) , Alias_1.OBJECTKEY=Alias_2.OBJECTKEY
Problem is when i drag ORDER no from planned order iview to Customer (which is visible as target iview with green icon beside it) i get a message **** The following capability is not supported: Full Scan****
Has anyone faced this issue ? Any possible solution. Last quest when the system object to * SAP R/3* is defined do we need to aslo specify (Drag & relate SERVER) parameters ? If so wht will the paramters.
Already gone through blogs so any thing other than that will help.
Thanks in advance.
**RAJ**

In case it matters, we are on BW 3.5 SP 18 with SAP GUI 6.40 Patch 22.
I don't know how to change this globally, so I will have to leave that to other gurus...
To change this setting for a query, go to Query Designer and open the query. Click on the Query Properties button at the top of the screen, then choose the "Display" tab. At the bottom of the Display Options section at the top left is the "Display Drag&Relate Links" option. Make sure the checkbox for this option is not selected (unchecked).
Hope this helps...

Drag&Relate Target

Hi All,
I am trying to follow the following steps in CE 7.1 EHP1:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/49/330a10fd695aa8e10000000a42189d/content.htm
But when I open an iview to edit, I am not able to set the Drag&Relate Target property to true as I am not able to find it.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Malita

Hi Malita,
Its there in iView Properties just below domain property.
FYI:
To assign Drag&Relate capability to an iView:
       1.      In the Portal Catalog, right-click the iView you want to convert to a Drag&Relate-enabled object, and choose Open ® Object.
       2.      In the Property Editor scroll through the iView properties until you find the Drag&RelateTarget property.
       3.      Change the value of the Drag&Relate Target property to 1 and click Save.
Regards,
