Features WAD in BW7.0

Hi BW-people!
I am working on some features for web reports (one of them are the fixed/freezed column headers)
As we are upgrading to BW7.0 in several months, I would like to know what the new features are in this release. That case we can avoid time-consuming development if it is a default feature in 7.0.
So, does anybody know the new features? Or where I can find a list? (more spicific regarding the 'freeze pane' alternative of Excel in WAD)
Thanks in advance!

Bart,
I have seen the possibilities of BeX Analyzer but in terms of WAD , what I could get from early presentations that SAP made are...
1. Netweaver Visual Composer to be made a major component in Reporting
2. WAD to e developed but not by much
3. Lot of New features in BeX - like what you mentioned about fixed columns , freeze columns etc and in all likelihood , the same will be available in WAD 7.0 also
4. Reports generated using Visual Composer are stunning but I am not convinced by the extent of customization allowed by the same.
But of course I may be speaking too soon , since the only ppl who will have access to BI7.0 reporting capabilities are thos involved in ramp-up and anyone ??

New Features WAD of SPS13

Hi Experts,
I need use a scroll bar in Analysis webitem in WAD. We show that new feature is avaliable in this SPS13,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/76/489d39d342de00e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
So we upgraded the components :
SPS to 13
Saplogon 710 FEP 4
BI SP2 and patch 1
But unfortunately the paging new features didnt appears. (USE_SCROLLBARS ....).
Have we forgot any upgrade ? Does anyone test this new feature ?
Kind regards,
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,
Unfortunately, I am not at SP13, however I have something you can test. It it possible that although the parameter is now valid for processing but not available in the WAD within the Analysis Item properties window.
Try adding the parameter directly to the Instruction for the Analysis Item. Something like the following and see how it renders:
<bi:SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS >
               <bi:cmd_item_parameters type="ANALYSIS_ITEM" >
                  <bi:USE_SCROLLBARS value="X" />
               </bi:cmd_item_parameters>
               <bi:TARGET_ITEM_REF value="ANALYSIS_ITEM_1" />
</bi:SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS>
Cheers,

Decimal format time value to convert into time (hr:min:sec)value in a graph

I need to develop a graph in WAD, in BW7. In the graph the value must be showed as HR:MIN:SEC, which I cannot get it right.
The keyfigure value carries the duration(hr:min:sec) in decimal format. In the query, I use this keyfigure for calculation. To get the time broadcasted for a week range. I get the total duration (say 507835.000). Now I need to convert this value back to hr:min:sec. I use the below formulas to get the hr, min, sec.
D = 507835
Val1 = D/3600
Val2 = Frac(val1)
Val3 = Val2 * 60
Val4 = frac(Val3) * 60
Hr = Val1 Val2
Min = Val3 frac(Val3)
Sec = Val4
In another formula in the query I add Hr + Min/100 + Sec/10000 to get hr.minsec format.
When I do an average on count of weeks, this doesnt round off correctly.
I tried to also use the Data function TIME() which when the time is > 24 hrs changes the value.
Lets say if it is 39:00:00, it shows value as 15:00:00 instead of keeping the value 39:00:00.
When I used this value in the graph it did not show the HR:MIN:SEC values in the value axis instead it showed 0.0, 0.1,.1.0. Bcoz of this the graph is blank.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks alot
Anima

I checked SU01 and didn't see anything there to customize...
In my workstation, control panel / regional and languages settings / tab regional Options / customize; my time format is HH:mm:ss; the HH has to be in capital letter to display the time in 24 hour...
but this is strange anyway... are you reporting with web frontend or excel?

WAD 7.0 Connection BW7.0 ABAP and BI stack JAVA ?? & WEBEX

Hi experts,
My question is probably too simple but .....
I am from basis components and I have some littles questions..
I have 2 systems :
- 1 BW 7.0 ABAP stack only
- 1 BI 7.0 JAVA standalone
I have configure UME and Webex between the two systems.
For testing, I use internet explorer on the portal...It's OK.
But consultants wants to use a "WAD 7.0"...
What i would like to know :
- WAD could connect directly on the ABAP BW ? Or throw the BI 7.0 JAVA?
- In case they could connect directly to the ABAP, a BI JAVA was necessary? SP 07 for abap STACK?
Last question :
In my Bi portal user from abap stack are created by UME (from abap) but tkey don't have any permissions...This is normal or my user mapping is wrong?
Thanks for your help in this new world for me.

WAD 7.0 - Navigation Pane Web Item with Old 3.x features

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to get the WAD 3.x version Navigation pane in WAD 7.0.
Navigation pane in WAD 7.0 is missing those "beautiful navigation icons" to add/remove a free char. into rows/columns and also to set filter values.
We are on the latest SP - BW 7.0.
Any suggestions, will be appreciated.
Thanks
CK

Hello,
I struggled with the same issue ...
but here is a sollution. don not select a navigation pane but use the filter pane.
in the filterpane you can define the number of kollums.
and with drag and drop from the filter pane to the report you can use the same functions as wth the navigation pane.
really works
good luck

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

Difference between Bex Analyzer and Bex WAD

Hi Every one,
I am pretty new to SAP, and working on SAP BW Front end.
I am pretty aware of Bex Analyzer and also Browser, but i always have a doubt about Bex WAD.
In my present job i talk to the users and take the requirments and create queries in the Bex analyzer which i am comfortable doing it.
I also know all the features of Analyzer and created quries and also published it on web, and also created workbooks and inserting multiple quries in the workbook etc etc..
However i have zero knowledge on WAD and how it is useful to me, and as if now i haven't got any requirment from the client for me to create any report in WAD or do some thing in WAD.
I have gone through SAP SDN help etc but i am not understanding it at all.
So can any one explain me in a laymans terms what WAD is and how it will be useful to me?
and also if possible send me link which has got PDF screen shots of what WAD is?
Points is for sure.
Regards,
Ram

Raj,
Thanks for the reply, but i still did not get the understanding about WAD. i have studied the link which you sent me.
I am still not able to understand how it is helpful for people like me,
See i create my report in Query designer, and i can execute the query in Analyser. and if i want i can execute it in the Web from my query designer, and also i can create chart on the web if i want.And i can Broadcaste it in the Web.
and also if i want i can create it in the workbook and create chart in that work book.
Then what is the point of Web Application Designer (WAD).
See i have created the Query in Designer in Development say Sales report Query on the infoprovider for SD, now what should i do with it in WAD.
How can i get it in WAD, i went to start> all Programs>Bex> WAD and i logged in to development and a sereen opend. And from here what i can do, i mean how can i open my created query in WAD?
As you guys know i am new to SAP itself, but i dont see any advantage about WAD, i read all the articals and there i found that i can create Web Items, HTML etc etc, but i already have HTML, when i execute my query from the Designer i get it in Web Browser...
See my question is simple, i have a query which i have created in the Query Designer, now how can i get it to WAD and after getting it what can i do with it??
If any one has a screen shots of there pls send me.
And Sanjeev has sent me a PDF which i saw earlear and i done the same in my WAD but i am not about to get it to work.
I have given the points to every one but still what i need i did not get yet.
Regards,
Ram

Your Favorite FreeHand Features You Would Like To See In Illustrator

I am really curious to hear about the favorite features that Freehand users think would be important additions to Illustrator.
I would also be interested in hearing why you think this feature is better than the way Illustrator handles the same task, unless you the feature just doesn't exist in Illustrator.

Just found your question, Wade. Many thanks for asking since it is very encouraging to know that Adobe is aware of Freehand (FH) users' frustrations, beyond the usual learning curve challenge. Many CS3 Illustrator (AI) features are terrific and not available in FH, but the frustration of seeing FH's many intuitive options disappear from our desk top is difficult. I'd hardily amen the words of Ken Nielsen: ... 'incorporate EVERY feature possible from Freehand.' I am quickly improving my ability to exploit AI's advantages but still get frustrated that many of FH options are not available in AI. Here are a few and will try to add others later:
PAGE SIZE TOOL: I cannot change the page size with FH's page tool. To get a page size to fit new art work I have to guess and run the risk of something not being open and not adjusting if I move my work. This is important to keep the white border from appearing in exports, although I have found that making a Clipping Path can solve this. Why not have the FH option, however, of diagonally dragging the corner of the page and fit it the size of the page to the art work?
PEN TOOL DRAWING: The pen tool does not have an option that automatically makes beautifully curved lines (which always and exactly fit the complex map borders I draw), and simply by holding down Option in FH while clicking the pen tool (dragging out in AI is nice sometimes, but I had to buy a Big Wacom tablet to do what FH does naturally).
OPEN/CLOSED PATH: I always knew in FH if my path was 'closed' or 'open.' I know fill does not depend upon this in AI but in my work to know this is very important.
SWATCH BOX: In AI I have to remember the short cut or travel around my 30" screen to change between stroke and fill. In FH it was right in the color palette where it should be. As in the case of layers below, my choice of viewing swatches (small list) does not stick and I have to choose again every time I reopen AI. Have you thought of layers for swatches for those of us who have many?
GRAPHIC STYLES: I thought AI had a 'Redefine' option in the Graphic Style but can't find it. Since AI does not allow the editing of a graphic style in the Style palette, I have to make a new style and toss the old one. FH has both of the possibilities (redefine and editing).
PASTE INSIDE/CUT CONTENTS: Paste Inside, etc. was great in FH. I understand how it works in AI but to have the old FH option, and edit inside (hold down Option) were so easy.
LAYERS: AI's great layer/sub layer/sub layer organization is especially exciting for me since my 300-400 layers in FH can be nicely 'compacted.' This has vast potential and already I cannot live without it. However, you should demonstrate how good it is to new users rather than simply imply 'you'll get used to it.' I have tons of docs with tons of layers (maps and charts).
COMPRESS ALL SUBLAYERS NEEDED: I have my layers collapsed so that my palette is very easy to use, *but* when I close the doc and bring it up again they are all open again and I have to go through and close them. Make them 'stick' so they open the way we close them, and 2) put in a way to deal with sub layers so that we can make all of a certain set of sub layers visible/invisible or locked/unlocked without affecting other layers. Yes, I can drag my mouse down the list, but when I have 600 map city names in their individual sub layers that is a bit much.
A BIT OF TROUBLESHOOTING: A graphic style fill would not change (disappear) although fill color was nothing. I even use 'Break Link to Graphic Style' and tried again. Something is wrong since the stroke changes color if I choose it manually or via a style, but the fill remains the same (one of my styles = 50% red) although I change it many all or via the Graphic Style palette. Thus it appears the the fill is stuck in one mode, or rather two since it will change color or change to gradient, but it will not disappear and always default to the 50% red. I tried quitting the program and bringing it up again, and also rebooting. No change. Finally, after long hours I tried putting the graphic on a new layer and it was okay. Thus, it appears that something can be 'caught' on a layer, in this case the fill color, or rather the fact that I could not get rid of the fill color, no matter what it was. I do have 310 layers in THE doc, most as sub layers under main layers.
Must add that AI's Opacity, Layers, and other features are terrific. I finally have gotten over my reaction in the move from FH to AI, especially since CS3 version sped up the very slow CS2 version. Again, do everything you can to get all of FH features into AI. FH is a tremendous program which relatively few people knew of and exploited. If Adobe wants to create another real success story, follow Ken Nielsen's advice (as you are doing with your question, Wade.)

How to revert to diagnostics.wadcfg configuration from wad-control-container blob.

Hello all,
In our project at some point in the past we have enabled Diagnostics module for getting our log entries in Azure Storage. We added <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" /> to ServiceDefinition.csdef file and then enabled logs transfering and performance
counters gathering in WebRole.OnStart method via DiagnosticMonitor.Start():
DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration cfg = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration();
cfg.OverallQuotaInMB = 8192;
cfg.Logs.ScheduledTransferLogLevelFilter = LogLevel.Verbose;
cfg.Logs.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
cfg.Logs.BufferQuotaInMB = 1000;
// Define performance counter configuration.
foreach (var counterName in PERFORMANCE_COUNTERS_NAMES)
PerformanceCounterConfiguration perfCounterConfiguration = new PerformanceCounterConfiguration();
perfCounterConfiguration.CounterSpecifier = counterName;
perfCounterConfiguration.SampleRate = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
cfg.PerformanceCounters.DataSources.Add(perfCounterConfiguration);
cfg.PerformanceCounters.BufferQuotaInMB = 1024;
cfg.PerformanceCounters.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString", cfg);
Then using Windows Azure Management Portal we activated Verbose monitoring mode and added several additional performance counters there in order to try the feature. I assume that doing that through the portal we actually modified wad-control-container blob
so we got new performace counters configuration.
Later we've realized that it would be better to manage all diagnostic configuration in diagnostics.wadcfg. We removed the code from role start and added diagnostics.wadcfg file to the project that declares the same we did before via code. When we redeployed
we saw that the configuration remained as it was before - it didn't change at all. It still included new performance counters we added through the portal. It is because the order of precedence, where wad-control-container blob has the highest priority. So
we deleted all the blobs from wad-control-container in order to revert back to diagnostics.wadcfg and redeployed the service. New blob was created in wad-control-container. It included everything from diagnostics.wadcfg as we expected and
again we saw these custom performance counters we added via portal time ago. See below the blob content:

Does anyone know how to permanently revert to managing diagnostics configuration only via diagnostics.wadcfg file and force the Azure to forget about manual edits we did via the portal?
We use Azure SDK 1.4.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Vitaly

Hi Vitaly,
Did you try to change diagnostics configuration in VS? Like this:
I suggest you could click the "Edit", and select your diagnostics metrics. Also, I want you double check your re-deployment project whether is right. Please try it.
By the way, I suggest you could upgrade your SDK version and refer to this sample:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/performance-profiling/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh411542.aspx
Any question or result, please let me know.

Few WAD report functionalities not compatible in windows 8.1 version

Hi,
We are currently facing an issue with one of the BEX(Web application designer 3.5) features not working as expected. we have currently using the BEX WAD report in windows 8.1 version and we see issues with the design of the report. The report is built in WAD 3.5 and it works fine in windows 7 OS where as there are some drawbacks of using this report in windows 8.1 . Has anyone faced the same issue, If so what could be the possible solution for this. Is there any SAP note that i can refer to??
Thanks,

Query Selection Screen in Report Designer/WAD

Hi Gurus,
Please help. Iam try to copy two BEx queries into one report using Report Designer & Web Application Designer. Iam sucessfull in it, however when I execute the report either by report designer or WAD, the report does not populate the selection screen, it just gives you the output of the two queires into one page. Is there a pre-settings we need to perform to get the selection screen for each of this report?
Thanks!

Hi,
Front-end upgrade will not help in this case. This feature "Display Variable Screen [VARIABLE_SCREEN]" was introduced in SP8 backend. You need SP8 backend to be able to use it.
You will find this setting in "Properties" -> "Web Template" (in combo box) -> "Web Template Parameters" -> "Behaviour" -> "Display Variable Screen"
This setting is defined in metadata and required an implementation on Java side (also SP8 required)

Features in Patch 6.4 missing from ZCM Patch MGMT 11.2.1.0

We are migrating from Novell ZENworks Patch Mgmt v. 6.4.2.1592 to the ZCM v. 11.2.1.0 patching service. I've noticed that there are are few features in the Patch mgmt 6.4 that I don't see in ZCM 11.2.1.0 and want to see if I'm just missing them somehow. I've looked throught the zen11_pm_administration manual and could not find any info on the following:
1) In Patch 6.4 when looking at the vulnerabilities/patches, you could filter by a specific OS in that it would only show patches (for example) for Windows 7 32bit workstations...and those patch results would only display "patched" or "not patched" numbers for that specific OS. In ZCM 11.2 patch mgmt...it appears that it can only filter by Platform: Windows, Vendor: Microsoft. With this filtering it mixes all the XP, Windows 7 32bit, Windows 7 64 bit, and Windows server patches all together. In the patch name field I can put "Windows 7" but it display 32 and 64 bit as well as patches for servers and includes servers in the numbers for "patched vs not patched". I would like to be able to filter the patches to show for example only patches for Windows 7 64bit workstations and have it reflect the workstations with only Windows 7 64 bit as it does in Patch 6.4. We have ZCM servers in our system but are using a different method to patch them. Basically, I currently have to wade throught the patches for Windows 7 (for example)..select the ones I want..and if that patch also is for Server 2008...I have to make sure that after the deployment creation is completed to remove the servers from the deployment. It would be much easier and efficient to be able to filter out the patches for a specific OS and apply those patches to only that specific OS workstations. Any ideas if this is possible under ZCM 11.2.1.0 patching?
2) In Patch 6.4 you could configure a policy for snooze and reboot options. Then when completing the deployment wizard...you could select "Use policies" for these options. Is there a place to configure these presets in ZCM 11.2.1.0 or does one have to manually change them every time a deployment is created?
3)Once a deployment is set to a group of test workstations, in Patch 6.4 I could export the list of worksations in the test deployment to send to the helpdesk in case they received any calls. Is there an option to do this in ZCM? There doesnt seem to be one.
Any info or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Michaelstump,
is there a reason you posted in the ZCM *10* patch management forum? At
this time, I agree, some things are better with ZCM patch management,
some things are not...

Problem in Export to Excel in WAD

Hi,
We are facing problems while using the "export to excel" feature in WAD.
While displaying the report in WEB or even RRMX, the display is fine for all fields of the report. However, when i use the export to excel feature from WAD, the fields with length of 24 characters are not displayed correctly.
It is displayed as "1.4E+23" (this feild displays numbers), whereas the number should be "140000000000000001232007".
Please can someone tell me what the possible problem could be.
Thanks in advance
