Exception handling in CE Visual Composer 7.1

Hi,
I have modeled a CAF Business Object and a custom Find operation which looks for a custom key. After that, I have exposed that operation as Web service and consumed it in Visual Composer. It is working perfectly as long as the search key exists in the Business Object backend table. When an arbitrart search term e.g. 1234 which does not exist is given, an error message is displayed and the program logic is halted.
Error occured while executing the service: Error in connection: Could not execute Web service, consult your administrator
My requirement is that, is it possible for me to display a custom message such as "The ID does not exist. Please enter a valid ID".
Besides, is it possbile to bypass this service call if it is not working? In my scenario, this service is actually used to search for any existing data for a selected Customer. If there is no data, the user can proceed with a new definition. So, the above mentioned exception blocks the program flow and the user is not able to continue.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
Regards,
Joon Meng

I am not aware exception handling features of VC but instead of raising SOAP Fault you can also transfer log message which is user friendly to display.
Another thing, instead of throwing exeption handle it inside try block so that program do not halt abruptly but gracefully. It is always possible to bypass existing service call like you said if output of service is not input of another.
In other word do not map output directly but on the "Next" event of button which enable you to goto next screen to work.

Error while making iview with visual composer

I am trying to make an iview usign visual composer.
In the document that i have for making the iview , it says that when you have the bapi list you need to drag and drop the bapi to the empty iview pane . When i do so it gives me the following error ...
"Portal request failed
(com/sap/mdi/ObjectFactory)"
What do i do ?
Would appreciate a prompt help!
thanks again for making me move ahead
I had a conversation with a parson on the forum named Venkat . I am posting the same for other people in the forum to understand what exactly is my problem and how much have we explored .
Regards
Deepak Singh
Hi Venkat ,
I tried to do so research on the problem and it is being talked about in a thread on the forum . They ask to refer to the sap note 765461 to resolve the mdi reference . In the note they ask you to refer the installation guide of the installed version of EP . I have EP 6.0 SP2 . The installation guide says the following ...
7.1.2 Adding References
To enable some of the features in the portal environment, add references to reference file.
To add a reference:
1. With a text editor, open the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers\reference.txt
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers/reference.txt
2. Look for the line:
reference service:eisconnector library:jco
3. After the line mentioned in previous step, add the following in a new line:
reference service:eisconnector library:com.sap.mdi
4. Save your changes and close the file.
5. Delete the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers.bin
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers.bin
6. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine. See Starting the SAP J2EE Engine [Page 60].
7. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine again.
I did the same ....but now my server is not starting . By chance i didn't keep a bakup of the file which they asked me to delete .
Now what do i do ?
I think i am stuck up badly here .
EVERYBODY IN THE FORUM PLEASE HELP
I am not sure how a thing that is mentioned in the installation guide cannot work !
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
It is not that bad. By deleting you are recreating that managers.bin file during startup based on the reference.txt and library.txt (recollecting from my memory). This could also happen if there is a typo or some special characters in the reference.txt
I don't know what J2EE patch you are at, but after PL22 you can actually add the reference using the "add reference" command from the administrator console.
could you please send the error you are getting? To revert back the simplest thing is removing the line you have added and restart.
Hope this helps.

Note: Please reward points if your problem is solved or useful.
Venkat ,
I am using J2EE engine 6.20 SP2 .I tried to get the server started by the following two methods
1) I removed my entry in the reference.txt file and then start the engine by running go.bat from the required path .
2) I got the original file managers.bin which i deleted and then placed in the required path and restarted the server
Both the options didn't work .
I am not getting any error when i restart the server. When i run the batch file go.bat it starts the console and shows me the various managers loading . After it shows the Clustermanager loading , it stops and gets stuck .
Not sure what should i do now .Is reinstallation the only solution ?
Is there a solution from the administrator console ?
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
No you don't need to re-install. Try the following.
1. First start the state controller by runing go.bat in the following directory.
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/state/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager.
2. start the server in a different window
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/server/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager
3. Start the dispatcher
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/dispatcher/go.bat
Please let me the know the error messages.
You can chat with me between 10:00 - 11:00 PM US EST.
Regards
-Venkat Malempati

People ,
I tried to do what venkat suggested . Infact I had mailed him the snapshot of the screen when i start the state controller as he suggested . For other people in the forum this is what is happening . When i start the state controller it displays an error and then the window closes immediately . I have managed the screen shots somehow and in those i could find two messeges in the begining and the end which could be useful for debugging the problem ...they are
1) [DBMS]: ID3004:DB file header do not match exception .
com.inqmy.services.dbms.server.interfaces.DatabaseException: Error while opening database ...
2) ID000544: Error statrting service dbms. DBMS service not started properly due to: Errro while opening database
[Framework -> criticalShutdown] Service dbms startup error !
After the state controller window closes i run the server in a different window and i get a message waiting for the cluster manager as suggested . Now i start the dispatcher and i get the same messege there as well ie waiting for the cluster manager .
What is to be done now . Is this information sufficient to suggest me something ? Please let me know if you require any other information .

Error while compiling model in Visual Composer 7.1.

Hi,
I am getting a error while compiling model in Visual Composer 7.1.
An exception occurred at the server while running the build process, reason: Extension with id com.sap.vc.runtimeproviders.null not found. For more details please refer to the log file.
Can any one please tell me what the error is?

Hello
This problem usually indicates the model Runtime provider is not set properly
Please goto configure pane and check the RT provider that is et for the model or any other model in the same DC
Also services usages require this property to be set accordingly
To make sure the services are set properly please look into the configuration pane when the respective service usage is selected (and check the same)

Visual Composer 7.0 and LoadRunner VueGen

Has anyone been able to make Visual Composer 7.0 work with Vuegen (v8.1 FP3)? Running on NW04s SPS10 J2EE and Portal. The model is rather simple it executes an ABAP BAPI and returns Exchange rate data. Works great in the browser with no issue.
VueGen receives the data (seen in the playback), but then has a fatal issue, with message = Fatal Communications error, cannot retrieve the data. The https is definitely working Ethereal proves that. VueGen always works a little differently than the IE6 browser based on Ethereal (that's a mystery).
Anyway, I am guessing that the Web-HTML and Web-SAP Protocols simply cannot handle the Flash bytecode that is streamed back to the Vuegen process. It must be trying to do something with it, and failing.
Any ideas or success stories with Visual Composer 7 / Flash (not WebDynPro), and Vuegen would be greatly appreciated? And if you are about to try it , good luck.

Hi Frank,
From what I understand you are talking about recording Flex applications and not VC design time, right?
If so, I do remember having some problem with VUGen. I think that what helped me was using the option of using the old recording engine. This can be set in VUGen-> Recording Options->Advances->Recording Engine.
Also, I don't think you need the SAP-WEB, just use the Regular Web-HTTP.
After you record should see web_custom_request going to "com.sap.visualcomposer.vcbroker". I would put some web_reg_find before these requests and supply some expected returned data to search for.

Hi Deepa,
I'm assuming you would like to embed a map into your application.
In that case, you need to connect your data service (the one that holds the addresses you wish to present using the map) to an HTML view and map the data as follows:
="http://www.map-generator.net/map.php?name=spot&address="&@Address&"&city="&@City&"width=500&height=400&maptype=map&zoom=14"
Where @Address is the field in your service which holds the address, e.g: 10 market st
and the @City is the field in your service that hods the city, e.g: San Francisco
Hope this helps

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.

Security issue in Visual composer

Dear all,
I created several queries using BEx query designer and I use those queries in a dashboard which is created by using visual composer. it is working fine until I added authorization using authorization analysis in those queries. I use Transaction code: RSECADMIN to test each query using a test account and I don't get any error from the log and the data display correctly.
However, when I run the visual composer using the test account, I am getting a popup message: Application error: "An error returned form the back-end system: Nested Exception. Failure to execute native function. Nested Exception. NO_AUTHORITY"
However, If I click on the error message OK button, the message go away and the data can still display correctly from the screen from each query so I should not have authorization issue and should not get the message since I can display all the data. How can I find out what authorization issue the dashboard (visual composer) is talking about? Thanks.

Hi,
have you checked [this wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/Authoritycheckerror] about authorization checks in case of calling BI query from VC?

Default Value in Numeric Input Field in Visual Composer Application

Hi All,
I have developed a visual composer application which has a numeric input field for Hours.
It is mapped to a backend module.
We are using portal 7.31
The problem is that the deafult value of this input field is "0", but the rquirement is to display as "0.0"
The functionality has been tested with input values in decimals and works fine. The problem is when the screen first populates, that field should show "0.0" .
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi Soumya Chanda,
I don't know of an agreeable way around it. You could have a textual input, but then it doesn't have the numeric control behavior, plus you need to handle incorrect typing (alphanumeric notes).
Sorry!

Integration Visual Composer and BPM (netwearver CE7.11)

Hi Guys.
System: netwearver CE7.11
We have a problem with the process of integration between Visual Composer and BPM. We have found a message |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2011e628-b317-2c10-9fa7-952155e10705] explaining the step by step to join my visual compeser with BPM.

Hi Raghu,
We can view the services by creating a logical destination in the NWDS.
For this purpose we need to do the following steps :-

Window > Preferences > Destination Configuration > Web Service Configuration - For Web service.
Please try it and let me know if successfull.

Update master data in BW with Visual Composer

Hi guys.
I have an attribute of an info object that I need to give the users access to update.
I would like to do it with visual composer.
I would like the user to see all rows in a table kind of view and the user will update only the rows that need to be changed and than he/she will click on a button that will update the master data table in BW.
I believe that I'll need to use a BAPI or a RFC for that? Does anyone know any good predefined ones for that?
Thanks
Shlomi

That's not really true. In VC you have access to all remote enabled functions. We have created specific functions to update attributes.
We are using it to allow our users to update their own master data instead of bugging the BI team.
Here is an example of our code.
Before I paste this in, you need to know a couple things.
1. You can only update one record at a time (with my code)
2. You have to pass back in the entire record, even if you are only changing one attribute of many.
3. It automatically does the attribute change run, so you do not need to to it.
This is a simple infoobject with a few attributes.
First we created a Get function (which collects the data and shows it to the user.
Then we gave them a edit button on the table that goes to a pop up.
The user selects the record to change, then hits the edit button.
When the popup comes up the data is shown in a form, with a save and cancel button, fields that you do not wish users to see or change, hide them, but they all most be present on the form.
The when the user hits save, it send it to the below function. The name of the infoobject is ZCAT_SUB.
FUNCTION zcat_update_subparty2.

Error when testing a Guided Procedure that use a Visual Composer UI

Hello!
Trying to develop my first Guided Procedure in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3.
I follow instructions that I earlier have used with CE 7.1 SP1 (in TechEd07), assuming no major changes from SP1 to SR3...
I have defined a Callable Object that is based on a Visual Composer UI.
The Visual Composer UI itself works fine when I test it in Visual Composer but when I try to test the Callable Object I get the following error message:
"Could not load execution container: Did not find active instance for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.wd4vc.exec.COExecWD4VC in running application."
When I click on the error message I get a lot of details of the underlying Java exception:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find view element with ID 9NEfbfuapOdP8O4KnmM19Q in application com.sap.caf.eu.gp.dt.workset.AppWorkset with namespace null"
(skipped all details...)
Have I missed some step (development or configuration) that is new in CE 7.1 SR3 compared to CE 7.1 SP1?
I have tried to read through the available on-line help but can't find anything that seems to differ...
Are there any examples/tutorials available for CE 7.1 SP3?
Thanks for your help,
Magnus.

Hello Dipankar!
Thanks for trying to help me out!
I'm unfortunately having problem with finding the choice "Add Guided Procedure Information" in the options menu in VC.
I have looked in the menu "Tools --> Options" but failed to find this choice.
Is this choice maybe changed in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3?
Regarding running the VC component as a stand-alone application I can launch the component from VC after deployment and it works fine both as HTML and Flex (I really like the Flex - version :-)!
But if you mean something else with running it stand alone please direct me to some doc-url so I can learn how to do that!
Best Regards,
Magnus.

Environment.Exit hangs when called from an application domain exception handler

I've implemented a handler for exceptions not thrown in the main GUI thread of my C# WinForms application, as follows:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += OnUnhandledExceptionThrown;
This handler is called from a background thread. The last statement in this handler is a call to
Environment.Exit with the application exit code. However, the application hangs in this call. From within Visual Studio, it hangs and I'm unable to break the application; I have to use Task Manager to terminate Visual Studio. Environment.Exit
works fine when called from the unhandled exception handler for the GUI thread. Is there a better way to terminate the application in the context of an unhandled exception thrown by a background thread?

Are you just trying to avoid a crash? Environment.Exit can cause deadlocking if exiting in the wrong kind of scenario; if you're just trying to avoid a crash, use
GetCurrentProcess with
TerminateProcess to terminate your own process. It skips the notification phases that Environment.Exit uses which prevents the common deadlock scenarios.
