Drill Down in Visual Composer

In input form- for the feilds, i used as Drill down, and selected entry list as dynamic in control properties.
when i publish in Portal , i can see list of values ( A- F) for input feilds.-when i select the one value ( A) and i see the output aswell.
Issue is when i want to see remaining values , i can only value A not others.how do i see other values as well???
I have attached a screenshot of the model and the dynamic dropdown list settings.

Hi ,
I have doubt regarding ur Question.
Where you want see the Remaining values i.e From B-F .
your are already getting IN Portal wright.
Is you added them (B-F)In additional Entries Options.
Beacuse your are doing Dyanamic Entry List right you can see the entries from the System only.
If you have your own Entries you can go for Static Emtry List.
Is it Clear?
Otherwise come back to me agian .

Hierarchy Drill Down in Visual Composer 7.0

Hello everyone.
I am creating a model in VC 7, in which I am using a hierarchy.
To implement this, I base on the guide that is available, making some adjustments based on comments found in this forum.
I need to go by opening individual nodes to this base I found an example that, but I only managed to open all nodes simultaneously, which for the user is rather uncomfortable, much information on screen.
I leave the code I am using and also those of example, also included some pictures of actions.
From now on, I appreciate all your comments.
My Code:
DrillUp
'CMD_1=CMD%3DDRILL_TO_LEVEL%26LEVEL%3D'&NSTR(@Unidad_organizativa_node_level,'B')&'%26IOBJNM%3D0COSTCENTER__0ORGUNIT%26DATA_PROVIDER%3DDP;'
DrillDown
'FILTER_NODE_IOBJNM=0HIER_NODE;FILTER_VALUE='&@Unidad_organizativa_ext_key&';FILTER_COLLAPSE= ;FILTER_IOBJNM=0COSTCENTER__0ORGUNIT;CMD_1=CMD%3DDRILL_TO_LEVEL%26LEVEL%3D2%26IOBJNM%3D0COSTCENTER__0ORGUNIT%26DATA_PROVIDER%3DDP;'

Value Help for Date inverval in Variable Form in Visual Composer

Hi all,
I have created a variable form which has Date interval with value help as one of the parameters.
when i click on the value help and select any date interval then it is displayed as say '20081015:20090101' but when i submit this value i get an error "INVALID_VARIABLE_VALUES".
this variable is working fine when i manually enter the interval as '10/15/2008:01/01/2009'.
is there any way where we can input the date interval value as '10/15/2008:01/01/2009' using the value help.
any help is highly appreciated.
regards,
RK,.

Hi Ramakrishna,
Value help is considered as a popup iview in visual composer. You can change the fields in popup iview like normal iview. Drill down the popup iview of the value help and change the date format using DSTR function.
Try the below link for change the date format.

Dynamic Actions in Visual Composer

Hi,
Can anyone help me with dynamic actions in VC.
I am trying to open different popups based on my selection in a Drill Down Field.
How can I do this?
Where can I find an example for using Dynamic actions in Visual Composer?

Hi
Dynamic actions can be used to trigger actions when specific criteria is met. This can be used as a type of validation, checking if a specific field has been filled, to check if a user has permission to do a certain action. I have used it an it works in a simple model. I created a dynamic action using the following formula IF(@NUM1>1,'END','STORE') and then if the number was greater than 1 the application was stopped using an end point or data was stored using the STORE event and a datastore. You will get an error that the END and STORE events are declared but can not be raised, this will not cause a problem when you run the model.

RRI in Visual Composer

Dear Colleagues,
Like Report-Report interface (RRI) in BW, wherein detailed report can be invoked from chart/graph, can similar thing is possible in Visual Composer?
Please advice.
Regards
Pankaj

Wih a workaround as below you can tailor to suite your needs ;however there are some limitations you may want to look below-
You can also combine the advantages of the VC and BEx Web runtime. For example, you can develop a VC model that renders the data in Adobe Flex and within this model you can define links to BEx Web Applications that calls the underlying query in order to analyze the data in more detail. There the data will be displayed in DHTML and you can use the BEx features to drill-down in a pivot table, for example
General Aspects - VC
In the area of Analytics you can use different tools to model reporting scenarios and analytical applications.
Deciding which tool best meets your requirements depends on several factors - features, UI technology, User
types, interaction, OLAP and/or OLTP data needed, for example. The UI tool decision tree (see Figure 3) will
support you in your choice and will help you determine which tool meets your requirements in the best way. Your
decision also depends on which criteria (e.g. features) are most important for you.
First you should think about whether you need to use the functionalities of the BI analytical engine (drill-down
navigation in reports, slice and dice analysis, and external presentation hierarchy, for example). If you dont
need those functionalities, then you should use Visual Composer, especially if you want to use query services
(Web Services and/or BAPIs) and/or if you want to embed OLAP data into operational processes. Also, use the
Visual Composer if your analytic application to be rendered with Adobe Flex. Adobe Flex is a presentation-tier
framework and server that enables the development of Rich Internet Applications. With the Adobe Flex UI you
can use interactive UI elements, for example. If you want to use just OLTP data in your reporting scenario, you
also have to use Visual Composer.
If you want to report based only on OLAP data (stored in Info Providers in a SAP BI system), you should use the
BI Suite tools. If the end users should access their reports using MS Excel, you must use the BEx Analyzer.
Beforehand you have to define a query using the Query Designer that then can be easily embedded into a BEx
Analyzer workbook. You can also do basic formatting with standard MS Excel functionality as well as integrating
BI Integrated planning functionality.
If you want to use formatted reporting and if you want to display the reports in a Web Browser, you should use
the Report Designer. With the Report Designer you are able to create formatted reports that are optimized for
presentation and printing. You can also access a number of formatting and layout functions.
If you need to deliver standardized reports, you should use the Pattern Wizard (integrated into the Web
Application Designer) to create pattern-based Web Templates. You can create Information Consumer Patterns
to ensure a standardized UI for the end users who access the Web Templates via the Enterprise Portal. If you
need special UI elements (for example, Tab Strips) or if you want to build planning applications, you have to use
the freestyle Web Application Designer capabilities.

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Hi,
you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.

Benni

How to call a BAPI from Visual Composer

hi,
I am new to Visual composer. can some body give me step by step information of calling a bapi or RFC from VC.
Thanks in advance,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
Steps involed for calling RFC/BAPI from VC
1. Choose Model->Select Data Services.
(Alternatively, click the Data button in the task panel toolbar.)
2. In the Portal field at the right end of the main toolbar, enter the URL of the portal from
which you can access the back-end system used by the iView.
For example, you could enter: http://<yourportal>:50000/..
3. Click the traffic light icon to the right of the Portal field. The portal Welcome screen
appears.
4. Log on to the portal as a user that exists in the connected back-end system, or which is
mapped to a user of that system. Click OK.
Once a connection to the portal is established, a list of system aliases defined in the
portal system landscape appears in the System drop-down
list.
From the System drop-down list, choose the SAP system that contains the function module.
6. Under Search SAP System, click the Search tab and in the Name field, enter the search string: <RFC/BAPI name>. Then click Search (at the bottom).
5. A list of function modules matching the search string is displayed.
7. Drag the function module/bapi from the Data task panel into the
workspace: The data service is added to your model.
8. Periodically save your work. To do so, choose File->Save Model.
Finally test the iview in VC.
In the workspace, drag your mouse from the Input port of the data service, <inputform> and dragn your mouse from the outut port from the data service <tabelview and etc..>
or
Go through the this documentation...

Issue in populating dropdowns in Visual Composer

Hello Experts,
I am currently trying to push application development using Visual Composer 7.0. Came across certain issues which we were unable to resolve:
1) We have an RFC which gives 10 return tables. We need to fill the data from these tables into respective drop down fields in a form. Now im unable to bind the table to a drop down directly, so is there a way to do it using some operator etc. because if we try to populate each drop down field seperately as many number of RFC calls are made which slows down my application drastically.
2) Other issue is pertaining to concentric drop downs. I need to create drop down fields in my application which interdependent, for example if i select a country lets say India then in my City drop down only indian cities should appear. The RFC is providing the foriegn key relationship in the output.
Please help as these issues are causing bottleneck in application development.
Best Regards
Gaurang

Heirarchical Drill Down Reports

I went to a contract interview yesterday where the client asked if I could reproduce the heirarchical drill down features they currently have in MS SQL Reporting Services. The design they showed me was where there was a plus sign by each row and when you clicked it, it opened a subsection with additinoal detail. If you then clicked on the minus , it closed the subsection.
I told the interviewers that I could use a dynamic subreport with a link from the main report page, but they did not seem impressed, wanting all the detail on the same page and my sample report created a second preview page for the subreport. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Fuskie
Who adds that he was just offered the contract, so any suggestions you might have would make his new masters very happy...

Fuskie,
I can't see this really happening in CR. You could create a + symbol in the GH for a visual effect but if the user clicks anywhere in the GH it will drill down with a new page. Closing that page by clicking on anything other than the x will prove very difficult.
You could however export (or schedule) a repot to PDF and select the create Create bookmarks from grouptree option. Then in adobe they can browse via the group tree + or - icons
or
Export to Excel Data only and enable the Show Group Outlines option

Adding action for functioning Dropdown fields in visual composer iview

Hi,
I develop a application in Visual composer 7.0. I want to convert the input field in drop down for selecting the different values. I can change the same by selecting the particular input fields in design screen. But I not able to specify the values, Action for the drop down. Can someone explain how to add the Values/Action for functioning the drop down field in the visual composer iView?
Thanks,
Kundan.

Hi,
you need to configure the element to be a drop down list instead of an input field:

Building a BI based dashboard in Visual Composer

Dear,
We are using the Visual Composer to build a KPI dashboard based on BW KPI's from multiple queries (NO SEM in the background !)
What we need is to place the keyfigures in the rows and the keyfigure value in the colums. In the colums we further also need an arrow that indicates the trend based on the keyfigure value (ascending, descending,...)
this is how it should look
===================
Keyfigure        Value            Trend
Gross Sales    100             Down
Net Sales        80              Up
Costs             20               Up
(*) The trend is based on a calculated keyfigure that compares this month's values with previous month's values.
In Visual Composer I'm trying to fit this in a table. After playing around I found that I need to place my keyfigures (column A) in a structure in the Rows in the BW query. Afterwards I can use the "characteristic" Key Figures and place it in my column in the VC table together with the value and the trend.
However, now my real problem occurs. I want to link trend with an image but the image should not be based on a condition linked with the main keyfigure from my row A but on another calculated keyfigure that I do not want to show in my rows at all. I'm affraid this is not possible since I don't see an option.
If anyone has an idea, please share. This kind of VC cockpit apps you see quite often on slides and Xapp presentations but I'm affraid they were all created with SEM cockpits in the background so I hope to be proven wrong.
thx

Id'try the following:
a) your trend-field is in your query, but unselected in the field list
b) build a formula on this unselected field which selects the image (from the Image Manager)
More on modeling can be found in the Visual Composer WIKI:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC
and many postings in the Visual Composer (where it might make sense to ask such questions in the future), where I also moved this question.
