"Dynamic" Template/iViews possible?

Hi,
I have created a java WebDynpro application which uses ( via my own portal service ) the Rooms APIs and creates rooms. This works perfectly fine.
During my little wizard, the user is able to choose a template for the room creation, similar to the creation functionality in the Portal itself.
I would like to offer for each (own created) template a bunch of, let's say parameters, which define which iViews or external functionality ( e.g. a ceratin Gantt chart from BW ) shall appear in the iViews or on the pages.
Is it possible to do something like that?
My two ideas are:
1. working with the PCD APIs and try to change the iViews.
2. do this via dynamic navigation of the iViews.
At least those are the things I've read about it, but I do not know if any of this leads into the proper direction...
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot for all helpful comments - answers will be rewarded !
Regards,
Sabine

I've solved the problem myself.
It works fine with the parameters defined for the templates which can be mapped to parameters of new created rooms.

Cannot open a report I just saved via Save a Dynamic Template

Hi All,
I am on BPC 5.1 SP9, working in Office 2007.
The problem is happen sporadically, where I save a report using Save a Dynamic Template. Then try to open up the report I just saved, and the report does not open. Sometimes if I resave the report via Save Dynamic Templates, I can reopen up the report. If that does not work, I go back into Save Dynamic Template, and save it to a new name, and see if I can get the report to open.
The strange thing is I can save the report to my desktop, then go into BPC. Every time I open the report from my desktop it always runs.
Not sure if anyone has seen this before?

Does your template have an Excel 2007 4 digit extension?
There is a known issue with BPC 5.1 sp7 or higher service pack and Excel 2007 format extensions (SAP Note 1347243)
Files with Excel 2007 Extension such as XLSX and XLTX, (saved and opened repeatedly via eTool -> Save / Open Dynamic Templates menu) may have issues where the template will not open.
The problem does not exist with BPC 70M sp3 or higher.
The note also has a possible workaround; suggesting renaming the template on the File Share Server and then opening the re-named template via Open Dynamic Templates menu.
Hope this helps.

Understanding Dynamic Navigation iview.....

In MSS, I have the following workset in my role...
->Team (workset)
   ---+ Team (webdynpro proxy page)
   ---+ Employee information (folder)
   ---+ Employee Working Time (folder)
   etc....
The "Team webdynpro proxy page" has an iview ,"Services", assigned in "Dynamic Navigation" but there is nothing particular about that iView itself. However, all folders (and their contents) below the Team webdynpro proxy page appear in the Dynamic Navigation panel (like "Employee information" and "Employee Working Time"). I do not understand the connection between the dynamic navigation iview and how all folders in that workset know to display in that dynamic navigation area. There seems to be no explicit assignment. How does that work?
edit: a bit more info....the "Services" iview is part of the Common Parts business package and based off the "related services" iview template. Still not sure how it "knows" to display the objects below that page that has it assigned as dynamic nav.

Did you blog about this solution? If so could you direct me to the blog? We need to add numerous links to outside URLs in Related links. I need to order them somewhat differently than alphabetically.
Thank you,

User requirement : when he/she selects the parent node XX1 and opens the Dynamic template and print it . It should also print the next level child nodes XX2 , YY2 & ZZ2 .   Would like to know if this is even possible ? If yes , how can we achieve this ?
regards
Ram

Thanks for the quick reply Roberto/Bpc user,
My User requirement is that he wants more flexible printing with dynamic report though its excel . He wants to select a top node ( member ) and be able to get the resultset not just for the top node selected but also all the nodes below in seperate excel Tabs . I am dont think its feasible. But then someone mentioned about E-publish and printing multiple reports . So my question ..is there a way we select the Parent node and it passes all the Subchild lvl1 nodes in separate pages of the same report and print them to pdf or printer ?
Any suggestions on Printing the reports will be much appreciated.
Regards

Error while opening the dynamic Template

Hi Experts,
While opening the Dynamic Templates in application in Sap Bpc it will give me an error: Description information is missing: contact your administrator. Please help me in this.

Hello,
Please try the following:
Clear the client cache if the problem is with a single client:
In BPC for Excel, click the eTools menu and select u2018Client Optionsu2019.
Click u2018Clear local application informationu2019.
Click u2018Refresh Dynamic Temnplatesu2019.
This will force the client machine to download the templates again.
Change the template version for the Application Set (AppSet) if the problem is with multiple clients:
Launch the BPC u2018Interface for the Webu2019.
Select u2018Administrationu2019.
Select u2018AppSet Parametersu2019.
Find the TEMPLATEVERSION parameter.
Increment the value by one. For example, if the value is .103, change the value to .104 and click the Update button.
This will force all of the client machines to download the templates again.
Manually download the files:
These files can be found in two locations.
Check the local machine for the files:
Check the local paths on the client machine to see if the needed files are there. The local paths for these files are:
My Documents\PC_NW\<domain>\<user>\AppInfo\<applicationset>\<Application>\eExcel\Reports\Wizard.
My Documents\PC_NW\<domain>\<user>\AppInfo\<applicationset>\<Application>\eExcel\Input Schedules\Wizard.
The files should be:
DESCRIPTION.TXT
IMAGE#.BMP
TEMPLATE#.XLT (where # is the specific number of the file).
If these files do not exist, they can be copied over from a working system. If all systems are giving this error, the files can be retrieved from NetWeaver.
To find the files in NetWeaver:
Run transaction UJFS.
Expand u2018webfoldersu2019.
Expand the Application Set (AppSet).
Expand the Application.
Expand u2018eexcelu2019.
Expand u2018reportsu2019.
Expand u2019wizardu2019.

Cannot copy a section in new "Pages 5." Miss "dynamic templates."

I loved being able to create a document with tables, graphics and other detailed material on a page that was its own "section." Then when I wanted to re-use it IN THAT SAME DOCUMENT, like an order form for example, I could copy it as many times as I liked in the same docuemnt, delete whatever parts were not needed in the copy and use it as a kind of "dynamic template."
How do you copy a whole page all at once with complex content in the New pages?

You can't really, other than to manually select all the content starting at the top of the page and paste elsewhere.
Working with pages as pages has been abandoned in Pages.
I'm sorry.

Dynamic template in EPM 10.0 version

Hi,
I am creating a dynamic template where the Employees and Cost centers are two dimensions. Under employee dimension, cost centers have been added as properties as shown below:
ID                                           Costcenter
ALLEMP
EMP001                                   2358
EMP002                                   2358
EMP003                                   2358
EMP004                                   2358
EMP005                                   2354
EMP006                                   2354
EMP007                                   2354
EMP008                                   2354
EMP009                                   2358
EMP010                                   2354
i have designed the Employees dimension members in row n time in column. While creating the template i can see the only 2354 employees. My requirement is if i change the context member from 2354 to 2358 then only those employees must appear which are shown under their respective properties. i have already checked filter because of which i can see only 2354 members but i want it to be dynamic and also that if i select 2354 then only 2354 members must appear and vice versa. It should not be static.
Please guide.
Thank you.
Rgds,
Poonam

There are two new functions in BPC 10 that will help:
EPMAxisOverride and EPMContextMember
Assuming you are using the first report on the sheet (default report), use the following:
Build the report, then on the same sheet as the report, enter the following formula (in any cell outside of the report):
=EPMAxisOverride("000",FALSE,"EMPLOYEE","CC='"&EPMContextMember("COSTCENTER")&"'")
Assuming your dimensions are named "EMPLOYEE" and "COSTCENTER". Also, assumes the cost center property on EMPLOYEE is named "CC".
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Dynamic template report zero suppression

Hi
I have a report which was developed using dynamic template and it works fine. When I configure the zero suppression for row ( yes in control ) yes, it suppress the rows with zero in first column. So it suppress the row which has some values in second column but zero in first row. It does not suppress the rows if the first column has values but second column has zero.What I want ? to suppress zero only when all the columns ( 2 in my case ) has zero values. I donu2019t see any other configuration option in control. Can some one guide me how to suppress zero only when all the columns in any row is zero.
Thanks in advance
SN

Hi SN,
If both columns are part of the EVDRE (included in the column range and pulled from the server) then this is not the correct behavior. What version of BPC are you on (7.0/7.5, and support pack)?
If the second column is not populated with data from the server, then this could happen, depending on how you have built your EVDRE.
Can you provide more detail about how the columns are populated?

To disable Dynamic templates in OTL

Hi,
There are 3 dynamic templates available in OTL viz. Project Assignments, Work Schedule & Last Period Timecard.
How can we disable these templates? I just need to use the Last Period Timecard, I want to disable the rest of the templates from the user.
I am unable to deactivate these timecards from the lookup HXC_DYNAMIC_TEMPLATES as the fields are protected against update.
Is there any other way? Please advise.
Thanks

I can suggest a number of options. But I have not tried this, so it may be that none of them give you what you want!
You could make the 'last timecard' the default template by using the preference Self Service Default Template Assigned by Sys Admin. You could combine this with removing the tempate functionality (i.e. having the choice displayed to the user) byusing the preference I previously mentioned. This combination might give you the desired effect.
Or, you could try setting the enabled flag to 'not enabled' on the lookup HXC DYNAMIC TEMPLATES. Although this is a 'system' lookup, you can update the flag from the 'back end'. I wouldn't recommend this as it wouldn't be supported, but it might be worth a try.
Or, you could look into the ViewObject which controls the way the list of values for templates is displayed in the LDT file for the timecard. You m,ay be able to control which values are displayed by amending this VO.
Let me know if any of these options work!
Regards
Tim

Dynamic templates

I would like to use Visio to create graphics templates - save as PDFs and use them in Illustrator for art assembly.
Example; say a template for a #10 envelope - This template would be dynamic inthat it would be
scalable to other envelope sizes like a #9, 6 3/4 and/or monarch simply by selecting either a row in Excel
that is named as that envelope style or another method you may know of. This I call a dynamic graphics template.
Rather that having a vast number of templates of varying configurations, window sizes and locations, flap sizes and styles
and so on I would have one dtnamic template that would be the master and has new requests come along for newer styles
I could simply ad this perameters to the spreadsheet and update it in Visio thus adding that new style to the master
Vision Dynamic working template. I look forward to your reply

Hi,
According to your description, I suppose that you want to list template sizes in Excel, when clicking different sizes, Visio can create dynamic templates automatically. If so, it is not accessible to achieve this goal.
It is alternative to create different sizes of templates and create hyperlinks in Excel. When clicking a row, it will skip to a Visio template.
Could you share more information about it? Or you can post a screenshot and upload it to OneDrive.
