How to execute a BI query/view from a web dynpro application?

Hi all,
I am trying to connect to a BI system from a Web Dynpro application. I have to execute a view/query and process the output in my application. Please guide me about how to establish the connection to the BI system from my web dynpro application and then execute the query/view.
I have tried executing/modelling the BI query/view using Visual Composer but I get an error saying 'QueryView Instantiation failed' when I try to drag the view/query on to the design board.
Please guide me and help me achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishan

Hi Kishan,
Define system for BI in portal and define JCo destination, then from WDJ application use can query BI.
Create the Technical System and connect with JCO Destinations
or
Connecting through the BI Connecters (ex: XMLA Connecter)
Refer below link:-

Parameter transfer from one Web Dynpro Application to another

hi,
Is it true that only parameters with string type can be transfered from one Web dynpro application to another ?

How to Create/Modify/Delete a query view from the web template in BI 7.0

All:
In BW 3.5, the Query Selection View web item was introduced for users to create a query view to save the navigational state of a query. This web item was also available to modify and delete an existing query view.
The Query Selection View web item does not exist in BI 7.0. I see the drop down web item can be used to display the query views associated to a query.
Can anyone share how to create,modify,save or delete a query view on the web in BI 7.0
Thanks,
Kumar

Sanjay, we experienced the same issue. Below are a few pieces of information that may be of help: 1-The Save As button on the 0ANALYZER template saves the query to the portal. From Bex Web or Bex Analyzer, you have no access to these saved views. We created a ZANALYZER copy of the 0ANALYZER template and removed the Save As button. 2- If you right mouse click on any item in the query results grid of Bex Web, you get a small menu. Clicking on the menu item Save View will save the view to BI. You do not have the ability to delete the saved views from Bex Web. However, you can delete them from Bex Analyzer. This was not an option for us since most of our users are using Bex Web. 3- On the same menu, clicking on Bookmark, saves the navigation and also opens the Internet Explorer Favorites maintence window. The navigation is saved as an entry into the users Internet Explorer favorites where they can organize and delete their entries. However, deleting the favorite does not delete the entry for the bookmark in BI. The bookmarks are stored in table RSWR_DATA. Program RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG can be used to manage the saved bookmarks. We are loading RSWR_DATA into a chracteristic so that we can query the information in order to help us manage it. I hope this helps you and others that appear to be struggling with the issue of saved views in Bex Web.

Access a query view from the web

Hello,
I have a query with a view. I would like to simply be able to link to this query view in a Web Browser window. What would the URL be?
How can I do that, is it possible?
I know I can open the default view of the query, by choosing on Bex Toolbar (Tools > Launch in WebBrowser > Query (Default View))
Thanks,
Nick

Just add this to your URL: &DATA_PROVIDER_ID=[Technical name of view]
The result would be: http://host:port/sap/bw/bex?DATA_PROVIDER_ID=[Technical name of view]
Nothing else is mandatory

How to Debug a BAPI from a Web Dynpro application

I have a Web Dynpro application calling a BAPI, and I would very much like to see what data the Web Dynpro application is passing into the BAPI, and then debug the BAPI.
Is there a way to do this? I'm wondering if it is possible to somehow set up the ABAP stack so that on receipt of the BAPI call, it appears on the tRFC queue waiting for execution.
However it is done, I need a way to step through the BAPI on the ABAP stack.
BR,
Tony.

Hi Anthony,
The ABAP runtime environment contains various tools that you can use for analysis purposes, such as for debugging source code. All source code written for Web Dynpro applications in ABAP can normally be tested using the debugger.
To allow it to test other Web Dynpro-specific program entities too, the debugger has been equipped with a special enhancement. In the phase model in the active application, you can typically see the following information at various points in time:
-The structure of the content of the current controller,
-The properties of the UI elements in the layout of the current view
-The currently instantiated component usages
Starting the Debugger
The functions for debugging Web Dynpro entities are embedded in the new debugger. You therefore need to have selected the new debugger in your Workbench settings.
Selecting the New Debugger
1. In the menu, choose Utilities -> Settings.
2. A dialog box now appears that contains two nested tab page areas. Choose the parent tab page ABAP Editor.
3. The settings for ABAP Editor always open with the content of the child tab page Editor. Here, select Front End Editor (New).
4. Now switch to the Debugging tab page in the ABAP Editor settings and select New Debugger.
5. Save your changes and close the dialog.
Starting the Debugging Process
To run an application in debugging mode, you first need to set an external breakpoint in display mode in one of the methods in the component.
Now start a test run of the application from ABAP Workbench as usual.
The method in which you set the breakpoint depends on the purpose of the test run. To debug a view, for example, it is best to set the breakpoint in method WDDOMODIFYVIEW. Provided that the context of the view controller is not filled using a supply method, the view is fully instantiated in the phase model at this point in time.
Selecting the Web Dynpro Tool in the New Debugger
When you start the application, another session opens automatically for the debugger. If you have not yet saved any personal settings with regard to the layout of the debugger, the Editor tool will now appear on the left, with the Display Variables tool on the right.
1. Select one of the three desktops in order to reconfigure it for debugging the Web Dynpro application (see Designing Work Areas).
2. The right-hand edge of the debugger window has a bar of function icons. Choose the Replace Tools icon:
3. In the next dialog box (New Tool) open the lowest node (Special Tools) and choose Web Dynpro.
4. Confirm the dialog box.
On the right of the debugger desktop, you will see that the previous tool has now been replaced by the Web Dynpro debugger. You can save this setting for future debugging activities. To do this, choose Save Layout In the debuggers general toolbar.
Thankyou,
Ramganesh.

How to make use of Portal service in the web dynpro application

hi
I have some portal service and how to use that in the web dynpro application.
and also what is the main diff between Portal Component and web dynpro application.
do we required portal to run web dynpro application.
thanks
mmukesh

Hi,
>> I have some portal service and how to use that in the web dynpro application.
Yes. U can use Portal service in webdynpro. Check the link given by subathra.
>> and also what is the main diff between Portal Component and web dynpro application
Portal Components are components designed to run in portal server while webdynpro application can run in J2EE WebAS.
>> do we required portal to run web dynpro application.
No for general cases. Just WebAS is sufficient to run webdynpro appl. But if u use portal service in ur webdynpro appl, then make sure both (portal service and webdynpro appl) run on same J2EE engine. That is mandatory.

How can I create a web Service from my Web Dynpro Application ?

Hi,
Kindly let me know How I could create a "Web Service" with my Web Dynpro DC project.
Awaiting your responses.
Regards,

Hi Mahesh,
You can use the web services by creating the Model in web Dynpro
And if you want to publish your own web service then you have to create a EJB module and publish as a web service.

Access KM predefined property values from a Web Dynpro application

Hi,
I am trying to build a custom search interface in Web Dynpro which leverages the KMC Indexing and Search services.
In this interface I would like to display value lists of predefined properties in KM (created using the Property Metadata Service) and bind each predefined property's value list to a checkbox group UI element.
Which KM API should I use to retrieve the values of a specific predefined property ?
When using the standard flexible user interface in the portal this can easily be achieved through configuration, but now I would like to know how to achieve this in Java code.
Thanks in advance for your input.
I have some idea on how to get the propertymap from a resource, but how can I access the metadata of a predefined property in KM directly ?

Hi Theo, i'm working on something like this, i have a WD application that is accessing Km through a Webservice, on the webservice ejb i have this problem:
IResourceFactory resFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
IRepositoryServiceFactory serFactory = resFactory.getServiceFactory();
IPropertyConfigurationService propConfigService = (IPropertyConfigurationService) serFactory.getService("PropertyConfigurationService");
IMetaNameListIterator i = propConfigService.getMetaModel().nameIterator();
     while (i.hasNext()) {
     IMetaName metaname = i.next();
     if ( metaname.getDocumentPatterns()!= null){
     propertyData.setId(metaname.getName());
     propertyData.setName(metaname.getLabel(locale));
     propertyData.setNamespace(metaname.getNamespace());
     propertyData.setDescription(metaname.getDescription(locale));
                propertyList.add(propertyData);
On this line serFactory.getService("PropertyConfigurationService") i get the following error on the trace:
#System.err#sap.com/KmmsListEAR#System.err#Guest#2####30a27fa0cbfa11dbace30018de0545f1#SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]#Error##Plain###Configuration Framework error: unable to create an IConfigClientContext instance from an EP5 userInitialConfigException: The configuration service locator could not be initialized for any of the environments. The configuration framework is not available.#

Do you have any idea of how to solve this? or if you accomplished in a different way, can you guide me a little bit.
Thanks in advance Theo

Calling a Standard SAP transaction VA03 from another web dynpro application

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I need to call the standard SAP transaction VA03 whenever a sales order is selected in some other we dynpro application so that the sales order gets displayed.
No regarding usage of OBN for the above functionality I have certain queries:
1. In order to call VA03 do I need to create a transactional iview for it or is there any direct method.Also how to pass this sales order number as parameter to the T.Code.
2. Can we use standard business object BUS2032 for OBN or a new Business object is created.What exactly is the purpose of these standard business objects in portal and when should they be used.
Thanks in advance
Aman Gupta

Hi Aman - Do you have a portal team in your project or you have to create the IVIEWS yourself?
I do have a portal team and I dont know how they create the IVIEWs but for example, I will go to my portal team and I will ask them to create an IVIEW for TCODE VA03, they will created and they will tell me the input parameters they entered for the IVIEW so I can call OBN and display in webdynpro.
SAP in SRM has webdynpro e.g. for BUS2121 and they have an IVIEW already implemented in the portal context pointing to the webdynpro of BUS2121 so we can used the IVIEW by calling OBN and passing the parameters; in my case the object_type will be 'shc' and the operation will be 'display' and the paremeters itab will be the GUID of my shopping cart, that way the OBN can understand which Shopping cart open and in which operation mode.
I also did something like your requirement, I need it to display a specific case in Records Management but SAP has a standard IVIEW for records management 'RMREGEDIT' that didn't work for my requirement so I went to SE38 created a program that displayed the case based on GUID and I created a TCODE of my custom program. Portal team created a custom IVIEW of my custom TCODE and they told me the input parameters to call the TCODE in OBN and I pass in the itab parameter the GUID of the case using the FM that I post before.
The action to call the OBN is in the event handler ON_CLICK of my ALV and the action is getting trigger when the user actually clicks a HYPERLINK in the ALV.
Hope this helps you!
Please feel free to ask me more details if you need.

Skipping first view of a Web Dynpro Application

Hi,
I have an entrance screen to a WebDynpro Component on which the user has to enter a value for an input field and select one of the processing modes( Create, Delete, Change) for this object. There are some input checks and some data are filled for the second screen when the user fills in the input field and presses one of the buttons on the screen. Now i want to open this functionality with an API to a SAPGUI based application and I would like to skip the first screen when the user gives the value of the input field and the processing mode(Display, Create or Change) on the screen. Is it possible to program a kind of CALL TRANSACTION ... SKIP FIRST SCREEN with WebDynpro applications and navigate to the second screen automatically with triggering the filling of data and checks on first screen with displayigng it?Thanks.
Regards,
Sukru

Hi,
It is possible.
I have some parameters in the at the WD application level. In the WDDOINIT of the view, im using these parameters based on
these values i'm skipping the 1st view and going to 2nd view directly.
In my 1st view, I have a input field and some button with an action to it.
for ex:
i read application parameter into some variable lv_var.
and EXECUTE is the action attached to the button where im firin my plug to second view.
lv_var = wdr_task=>client_window->get_parameter( 'VAR' ).
if lv_var eq 'X'. "Skip screen
***Set the values to the Input field here
    CREATE OBJECT lref_event
      EXPORTING
        name = 'EXECUTE'.
    wd_this->ONACTIONEXECUTE( wdevent = lref_event ).
ENDIF.
endif.
In the button handler, i have my coding....
Hope this is clear.

Lekha.

How do you call a function module in a web dynpro application ?

Why do you delete my postings ?????????????????????????????
pls see subject

Edited by: Ilhan Ertas on Apr 1, 2009 4:52 PM

Its not me deleting them. Perhaps a different moderator or a technical problem within SCN itself.
Someone might be concerned about your question because it is very basic.
You can call a function module from WD the same way you did in any ABAP program - with the CALL FUNCTION syntax. There is a service call wizard that will generate a matching context and calling code for you - but it is just a helper, code generator. Everything it does can be done by hand as well (and often better than the generator).
