Expert on web application designer comes in!

Question

Hi Colleagues,
Here is an issue on the web application designer. i want to use the exception showing function (red light, green light) with the help of the web application designer. So firstly, i set some exception in the query and on the web application designer, i choose "exception visualization"  as "symbol". Then i save the web query and execute, the exception shows, but in a arrow trend way, not the red light or the green light. It seems that the tool has by defult set arrow trend as the 'symbol'. But from the exception details, i find there are 2 options for 'symbol': status (one i want) and arrow trend. How can I change the default setting? Thanks.
If necessary, we can have a netmeeting.
Urgently waiting for ur reply.
Best Regards,
Clark

Hi Clark,
You have to implement the module com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ExceptionImage.
Select the Analysis Web Item -> Web Item Parameters -> Internal Display
Select Modification -> Single Module
Implementation Name: com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ExceptionImage
Select Type as Generic Module
Set the Parameter Name based on the Alert Level set in the Query Exception.
For example :
Green      u2013 ALERT_3 (Alerts 1 to 3)
Yellow      u2013 ALERT_4 (Alerts 4 to 6)
Red     u2013 ALERT_8 (Alerts 7 to 9)
Since you want to display the Traffic lights in the Web Report, select Image as the Value from the dropdown box.
Provide the URL for the images stored in the MIME Repository depending on the Alert Level.
Green - bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/BEx/Icons/s_s_ledg.gif
Yellow - bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/BEx/Icons/s_s_ledy.gif
Red - bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/BEx/Icons/s_s_ledr.gif
The images will be stored in SE80 -> Mime Repository under SAP -> BW -> BEx -> Icons
Green - s_s_ledg.gif
Yellow - s_s_ledy.gif
Red - s_s_ledr.gif
The Exception Visualization drop down in Cell Content Area of the Analysis Web Item should be set to display Symbols.
If this is not set, the Report would continue to display Exception Colors in the cell background.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Hari.
