Forms in SAP Bulletin Board iView

Hello!
I have created a room and I have to show only one entry point to a XML form project in SAP Bulletin board iView. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks

Hi Unai,
I understood that you want to restrict the forms that can be created in this bulletin board iView. From your SDN posts history (https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=2508529) I saw, that you know how to restrict the availability of xml forms on special KM folders.
So you need to create another rule where you specify this XML forms project and the folder where the bulletin board iView creates the xml documents
There are (at least) 2 ways to find out this directory:
1. You can enable the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/2c6b2089cc784bb384a7ea058de50d/content.htm">Debugging Settings</a> in KM, afterwards go to this iView, press on "Rendering Information" and check the "Folder Settings Resource".
2. You press on the "Edit" link on the right side of the iView. In the URL you should see the same path between ".../prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.navigation" and "?ShortContextID=...".
Saludos,
Robert

Message Board or Bulletin Board?

Hello everyone,
Can you tell me if Portals has message board/bulletin board capabilities out of the box?
Specifically,
I'm wondering if I can setup a collaboration room where members can post messages similar to what we do in this forum (same format).
Is this possible?
I'm running EP6.0, SP15, on Windows 2003, SQL.
Thanks!

Hello Henry
In addition to the bulletin board capabilities you can implement with XML forms and layout sets (as stated in the documentation posted by Vinoth), there is Discussion Groups functionality provided by SAP out of the box, if you're looking to have threads of messages (with replies, etc). There is a Discussion Groups iView through which users can post messages, and a Discussion Groups Admin iView so that administrators can maintain the groups (if specific groups exist).
That would probably be the closest out of the box option to the SDN forums. (SDN uses a product called Jive for their forums.) See the documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/01/ed0f412d72f323e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Configuration of Discussion Groups</a> to get discussion groups set up and configured.
Hope this helps,

Use of Html Collection Renderer - Bulletin Board

Hello,
I wanted to create a Bulletin Board as in the document "How to create a bulletin Board". But when using the navigation iViews with the Html collection renderer. It allways opens a new browser. Isn't it possible to see the next navigation step in the same window?
Is there anybody who tried to make the bulletin Board as in the document?
Can anybody help me with finishing mine.
Thanks

Thanks Darin,
I have tried your suggestion however with no luck.
I have a layout controller that allows a grid on top and a tree list below. The Grid successfully displays the HTML collection renderer, and the tree-list behaves correctly.
However, if I place a mass command in the HTML collection renderer using the suggested syntax, it does not seem to recognize the command. I have tried several commands such as copy_admin_mass and move_admin_mass and the link opens an invalid page with the url of http://com.sap.cm/?uicommand=copy_admin_mass
Any thoughts?

XML Forms and Posting Directly to iView

Hey Everyone,
This is my first time posting a question on SDN, so please forgive me if I leave anything out.
I have a question regarding XML Forms and iViews. We are using EP 6.40 SP12.
I would like to have an XML Form filled out and have it's contents sent directly to an iView which is located on the opening screen of our Portal. The scenario is that every Tuesday the form will be filled out, saved and will appear on the user's Portal. An appropriate folder structure has been created in KM to hold all the forms, etc...
Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers
Rav

Hi Ravinder,
After generating the forms,you have to create iViews for the Forms,Authoring iview and Render List iView.
These iViews can be assigned to users,or assigned to some page using Delta link.
The updated news will be available as a List on the Browser iView,which can be clicked to drill details.
The properties are set in the iView properties of Layout Set ,for example for authoring iView
Layout Set = NewsExplorer
For render List iView
Layout Set = NewsBrowser
Path to Initially Displayed Folder /documents/myNews
The values will change depending upon the form name.
Please go through this document for a detailed example
<a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/Best_Practices/EP/documentation/How-to_Guides/KM/How%20to%20create%20XML%20forms.pdf">https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/Best_Practices/EP/documentation/How-to_Guides/KM/How%20to%20create%20XML%20forms.pdf</a>
This Document gives a step by step solution on using XML forms.

Bulletin Board System...

This board really helped me out with a form email application
- I was wondering if it could do the same thing with suggesting a
bulletin board system?
1 - I am looking to implement a bulletin board into a
website.
2 - I currently use PHPbb on another site - but it's a bit of
an animal to implement and update.
3 - I was wondering - is there a better easier method? Or is
phpbb the way to go?
I don't want to pay for a bb service or product as this is a
pro-bono. I am worried about security - but have found that if I
hide a bb behind a passworded area (in this case an admin area) I
don't have any trouble from the bad elements. (this seems to be
easier as opposed to making the user register to use it.)
Any thoughts are appreciated.

& this Bulletin Board System must be in JSP or Servlet's or java tech

Automatic folder creation fails ... trying to use the bulletin board tutor

Hello,
I would like to create a blog using KMC functionality. For this I found an sdn article on how to create an bulletin board an this tutorial has some functionality I need in the blog too.
Unfortunately I have some problems when I want to have an folder created automatically. Here are the steps I am doing:
Creating a folder in the km-content named /documents/Blog
In Content-Management > Repository Filters > Userhome Filter+ I created an filter:
Name: Blog
Priority:
URLs: Postings
Prefix: /documents
Startpath: /Blog
Then I created a folder for the km-navigation iview in the portal content. The path to the initial folder is: /alias/documents/Blog/<user.id>/Postings
But when I call the preview to see the newly created folder ... I get the error message that the object couldn't be found (translated it means something like):
Object not found /alias/documents/Blog/<user.id>/Postings
Has someone an idea what the reason could be? Is it that the automatic creation of folders is only possible in special folders?Did someone faces the same or an similar problem and could help to solve it?
Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend,
Vanessa

Hello,
It worked perfectly fine for me.
Of course only after the restart.

Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

Issue with SAP BW Report Iview

Hi,
The issue stands with the context menu(right click menu)
I have created a BI Query and generated a BW Report with the Web Designer Wizard.
When I run the generated URL it is working fine, with the context menu also working perfectly.
However when I use that report in SAP BW Report Iview, the report gets opened perfectly but the context menu is taking me to a new page with those options.
As of now i do not know of any setting for context menu specially.
If anyone can help me or if anyone has encountered this error before, pl. let me know the solution.

Atul -- i am running into simillar issue. Please let me know if you found a solution for this.
Hi all -
When i create a BW Report iView 7.x in EP 6.0, the second level context menu doesn't appear for the template. Please let me know if this can be fixed.
Thanks

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Hello Everybody ,
Iam creating an iview for publishin BW Reports in Enterprise Portal with the iview name SAP BW Report iview ,it asks for BEx Web Application Query String and Application Parameters and we are stuck over that.Do we need to create some standard templates for it and then connect them to reports .What should we enter under these parameters.Kindly revert back.
When we launch the SAPBWWebAppDesigner for template designing,an error message is displayed as mentioned below.Kindly please check that and the reason for its display.Do we need to make certain configurations for the Webapplication server for BW ,if any one has a document /guide available for that,kindly please revert back.
Error:
"You are logged on to an application server that does not support HTTP.Some of the Web Application Designer functions are therefore not available.Do you want to logon to a different application server?"
We are also not able to connect to the Web Application Server of BW directly by putting the url of the WAS into our browser.Are any extra configurations needed for that on the BW side for WEBAS.
You can send me attachents on my Email id which is [email protected] back soon,

SAP BW Report iView problem

Hi,
Im trying to create a SAP BW Report iView with a BEx URL, but Im getting an error:
Session Management will not work! Please check the DSM log file for details.
When I use the wizard (for SAP BW Report iView), it asks me to fill out the web application string. Here I pasted in the URL. I left the application parameters blank.
The BEx URL:
http://<hostname>/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=DA&bsplanguage=DA&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=WEB_TRAFIK_STARTSIDE
The BW call works fine in the browser and with a URL iView!?
EP 6.0 / WAS 6.40 / BW 3.5
Thanks
Joachim

you should be using BW Report iView.
and when you create BW Report iView pass the following for the querystring parameter
CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=WEB_TRAFIK_STARTSIDE
for this to work, in the system definition WAS host , was path and was protocol should be maintained

How to move offline form from SAP dev to QA and Production environments?

I developed and Adobe Form that can be used offline - steps in development are as below:
1. Webservice generated out of a BAPI in SAP.
2. WSDL generated from SOAMANAGER transaction code and kept on a newtowrk folder
3. Used this WSDL to prepare the form in SAP WebDynpro view
4. generated the URL of the webservice per Dev / QA / Prod when the form is being generated out of the WebDynrpo app - function module ICM_SERVER_INFO (used here)
4. Placed a regular type button on the form and passed the URL on the click of the button
5. This worked fine in Dev system.
6. Now the transports are moved to QA. But click of the button was still pointing to the Dev system.
7. Realized that it is reading the Dev WSDL from the network drive - it still tries to submit to the dev url of the webservice
8. So generated the WSDL from SOAMANAGER fo QA and over wrote with the Dev WSDL files.
9. When I opent he Adobe Form in WebDypro in QA, it reads the new WSDLs and updates the correct URLs - I checked this in the XML of the source of the Adobe Form
10. here comes the problem - even though step 9 is done correctly, I can not save the form and activate it to reflect the new URLs - since QA is not open. Same procedure may need to be followed in case of Production also.
So the question is:
How to circumvent this issue of updating the WSDL and URL after the development transport is moved to QA and Prodcution?
Or - QA and Prod have to opened, WSDL and URl updated in change mode of form and a transport also created?
(seems to be a limitation)
(I looked a bit but did not get any pointers when I googled - may be my search is not correct).
Please advise.
Thanks,

hi Chandra,
I store the url in one of hidden field in form, then copy javascript below to click event, button control type: Regular.
just replace all the "<>" in the code below.
var message;
var response;
// The name of the data connection will be pulled from the WSDLConnection name in the ConnectionSet packet
var sWSDLName = <DataConnection name>;
// clone, modify and execute the connection.
var vConnection = xfa.connectionSet[sWSDLName].clone(true);
vConnection.soapAddress.value = <url>;
// Execute the connection, without remerge data after the result.
var ws_rc = vConnection.execute(true);
for multiple data connection, you have to repeat these code with replace different data connection name and it's url address.
you may use script object (something like subroutine).

Kathy Lau
