How to migrate Themes, HTML templates, MIME objects to ECC6.0

Hi Friends
How to migrate Themes, HTML templates, MIME objects which are developed in SAP Web@Studio.
or How to use program SIAC_UPLOAD ??
regards
siddharth

Hello Murray,
Your steps sound correct. I would add that you generally need the following:
1. publish the IAC, SYSTEM, and WEBGUI Internet Services (also from SE80)
2. make sure the Integrated ITS is working. Meaning you should activate the ITS in the profile parameter, this can be seen in transaction SITSPMON. Some services in transaction SICF also need to be activated, like the default_host/sap/public/bc/its
From your error message though it looks like the URL you have used is either incorrect or you have used the External Alias feature in SICF? The URL for the ITS is usually http://host:port/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/service. Second, the error is about a language resource file (.htrc), you have not specified if you created one or not. To create one in the language you are logged in with just go to SE80, open your Internet Service and double click on the "Topic xx". Don't forget to publish after creating and saving it.

How to import all HTML templates into your IT Server?

Hi All,
I am trying to configure Leave Request workflow (WS200000081).I have read that Html Templates need to be import/published in your ITS server. I am not clear as to what is an html template and how to publish it?
Regards,
Pavanmeet.

Hi Pavanmeet,
Since this is a standard service file provided by SAP no need to publish it.
For the error you mentioned, you can do the setting as below.
Go to SE80. In the menu go to "UTILITIES" select "SETTINGS". The screen is displayed. In the tab select ITS. Here you can set the ITS server path. This ITS will be selected when you publish the service file.

How to avoid Multiple download of Mime Objects with cleared Cache

Hii!!
When using IC we client and when we are searching for the CSR multiple Mime Objects are getting Downloaded ..Can anybody tell me exactly in which class or function module these mime objects are getting downloaded or where the URL of the same is getting generated?

I think I've figure out what is happening here. Previous post didn't descript the situation quite clear, it is acturally like this:
// previous code:
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var bitmapCantainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
bitmapCantainer.addChild(bitmapCache);
bitmapCantainer.mouseEnabled = false;
bitmapCantainer.mouseChildren = false;
container.addChild(bitmapCantainer);
container.hitArea = someSpriteMadeUp;
// it turns out there'is a parent container of the "container" sprite I created
// and I disable that
parentContainer.mouseEnabled = false;
So now I don't need to avoid any interaction of transparent part of bitmap with mouse evnets, JUST set mouseEnabled property to false of the parent display object which is in the same depth of display list of which those display objects you don't what be "covered" are in.

Deciphering Aperture Web Themes: the html templates v3

version 3 of my Aperture Web Theme html template reference. enjoy
the html templates.
rkid attributes:
Aperture uses proprietary ids within the html documents to identify the parts it needs to play with. These ids are 'rkid' ids. for example,
  <ul id="nav" rkid="navbar">
These are the rkid values that I've identified so far:
  "navbar"
    a <ul> element containing all of the navigation elements.
  "active" and "inactive"
    rkid attributes to enable the coder to place different formatting on
    current and non-current page numbers in the navbar.
    eg; <li rkid="active"><span class="currentPage">PageNumber</span></li>
      <li rkid="inactive"><a href="IndexPageURL_">_PageNumber</a></li>
  "content"
    a <div> containing all of the album images and their metadata.
  "pictureblock"
    a mandatory <table> in which the images are placed, one image per <td>.
    the <table> must even be used on the Detail page where only one image is
    displayed.
    the metadata will be within the "pictureblock" table if more than one
    image is displayed so that the metadata can be tied to the image. if
    only one image is displayed; i.e., the Detail page; the metadata may be
    in a <td> outside of the table that the image is in but still within the
    "content" div, usually in the following format:
      <div rkid="content">
        <table>
          <td>metadata
          <td><table rkid="pictureblock">
  "image"
    the rkid for the <img> elements containing the album images, frequently
    placed in <dt> elements within the table's cells.
  "metadata" (added in Decipher v3)
    all metadata for the respective image is specified within this element.
    everything within the element is repeated for every metadata value.
    the Aperture themes use the <ul> element but <div> also works:
      <div rkid="metadata"><p>metaname: metavalue</p></div>
  "titleblock"
    a <div> containing the title text; usually <h3>; for Journals. the <h3>
    element within this element must be given the attribute rkid="text" or
    Aperture will ignore it.
  "textblock"
    a <div> containing the description text for Journals. as with the
    titleblock, the <p> element/s within this div must be given the
    attribute rkid="text".
  "text"
    the rkid given to the text data within the titleblock and textblock
    elements.
Place holders:
  PageTitle
    used in the <head> of the html. it's made up of the Album/Journal's name plus a page number. eg; "My lucky album - Page 1".
  IndexPageURL
    the gallery page/s URLs; may be more than one.
  ThumbImageURL
    the href links for the images, whether thumbnails or detail full size.
  DetailPageURL
  used within navbar:
    PageCount
    PageNumber
    PreviousPageNumber
    PreviousPageURL
    NextPageNumber
    NextPageURL
    PageCount the total number of pages
    PageNumber includes all of the page numbers listed in the navbar, one
      occurrence for each page.
    _Previous and _Next are more specific and are currently used to draw the
      prev/next arrows in the navbar.
  ImageName
  ImageNameSpace
  PlateNameSpace
  PlateNumberSpaceSlash
    *only seen* when 'Enable Plate Metadata' option in the tag popup menu is
      chosen.
    used to represent an index of the image in the album. the first image
      shown gets the index 1, the second 2 and so on.
    for the Image placeholders, the word 'Image' is used.
    for the Plate placeholders, the word 'Plate' is used.
    space indicates an extra space after the index, probably for html
      formatting purposes because it's only used within <dt> elements.
    slash indicates an extra / character after the index.
    examples:
      ImageName > 'Image 1'.
      ImageNameSpace > 'Image 1 '.
      PlateNameSpace > 'Plate 1 '.
      PlateNumberSpaceSlash > '1 / '.
  metaname
  metavalue
    the placeholders for all of the metadata names/values in the selected
    metadata set.
  PageWidth
    not sure if Aperture calculates it based on the width and number of
    images being displayed in both gallery and detail pages.
    don't know why it's only used in the Special Occasion theme.
  CellWidth
    the width of the table cells containing the album images. not
    necessarily the width of the images. may include margins as specified in
    the albuminfo.plist files.
  ImageWidth
    the width of the image.
  TableWidth
    the width of the pictureblock table. it can probably be applied to other
    elements too but it's length is almost certainly calculated from the
    pictureblock table.
Operative attributes:
  removeonfirstpage="yes"
    used in the navbar to remove the Prev link from the first page.
    because it's applied to the <a> element, the <a> element is removed
      while leaving an empty <li> in place.
  removeonlastpage="yes"
    used in the navbar to remove the Next link from the last page.
    because it's applied to the <a> element, the <a> element is removed
      while leaving an empty <li> in place.
  removeonsinglepage="yes"
    used in the navbar to remove elements when there's only one page.
    used in a <div> in the Art Collection to remove the whole navbar on
    single pages.
  contenteditable="yes"
    used in text elements to indicate that the user can customise the text.
    not necessary in titleblock and textblock rkid="text" elements.
    in elements outside of the titleblock and textblock elements, content
    will not be truly editable unless a textid is assigned to the text
    elements. unfortunately, all text elements with textids are always
    'common' and can not be specific to any one image.
  common="yes"
    the element is seen on all pages.
Other attributes:
  metaseparator="|"
    used in metadata formatting, within the metadata lists.
    you can add additional characters. for example, the metaseparator
    in the Stock Black theme is " | "; ie, a | bar with a space on both
    sides. (Decipher v3)
    if the metaseparator is specified and the html template places the
    metadata into <li> elements as it does in most of the current themes,
    then it produces non-standard html code with the metaseparator between
    concurrent <li> elements.
  metalayout="paragraph"
    used in metadata formatting, within the metadata lists.
    if not specified, the metadata will not be exported. (Decipher v3)
  singlenesting="yes"
    used in metadata formatting. not sure what it does yet.
  textid="x"
    used to id text elements outside of the titleblock and textblock
    elements.
    possibly no limit to the number and id names used.
    examples used:
      textid="copyright"
      textid="header1"
  picturename="x"
  pictureimage="true"
    picturename gives the image an id.
    pictureimage="true" tells Aperture that the image is a static image
    which can be designated by the user during setup of the album. they show
    up in Aperture as grey blank rectangles with cross-eyes in the middle.
    they do not need to be inside the "content" element
    with picturename and pictureimage, we can place as many static images on
    the page as we wish.
Assertions:
  Aperture uses the rkid values to identify the areas of the html to be
  repeated for the respective objects.
  standard id and class attributes are only used by the css for formatting and
  not by Aperture to write the html data.
Notes:
  Aperture is hardcoded to expect and require that the album images are always
  within a <table rkid="pictureblock"> element. it is not possible to place
  album images outside of the table. all album images must be placed within
  <td> cells within the table. the <td> code is repeated for each image.
  image metadata is also normally within the rkid="content" element although
  it can be outside of the rkid="pictureblock" element.
  by default, the textblock rkid="text" element is added when the T+ button is
  pressed within Aperture. the textblock element is switched with the
  titleblock element when the Title/Text toggle button is clicked.
  width and height attributes of <img> elements are rewritten by Aperture
  based on the inserted images. placeholders aren't necessary within <img>
  elements.
  comments are stripped from the html before export some but some
  Aperture-proprietary attributes are forgotten and left behind.
  some pages use the html 4.0 loose doctype. others use the xhtml 1.0 strict
  doctype.
  all markup is converted and exported in UPPER-CASE. personally, I prefer
  lower-case.
  high-ascii characters entered by the user are not converted to their html
  entities when available. eg, the © character.
  multiple <p> elements can be inserted into the titleblock and textblock
  <div> elements but each of them must have the rkid="text" attribute. any
  element without this attribute will be ommitted by Aperture.
  the reason there are Smart Galleries but no Smart Journals is because you
  need to write text between each row of images.
  titleblock and textblock elements will not be applied to Galleries or Detail
  templates; only to Journals.
  if there are more than one titleblock or more than one textblock, only the
  first will be used by Aperture.
  upon export, Aperture will remove everything from within the rkid="content"
  element which is not the pictureblock, titleblock or textblock elements.
  (Decipher v3)
  some of the Aperture templates have xhtml doctypes but are exported from
  Aperture with html 4.0 loose doctypes. weird! worthy of note is the fact
  that UPPER-CASE element names is not permitted with xhtml which is
  case-sensitive. (Decipher v3)
Questions:
  are there variable scopes with each rkid? eg, within the "content" rkid, can
  every variable/placeholder be accessed?
  why did the Aperture team use Definition List <dl>, <dt>, <dd> elements for
  the images and related metadata in the table? easier css formatting?
JavaScript: (Decipher v3)
  you can include JavaScript in the html code but cannot wrap it in html
  comments because Aperture will remove everything within comments.
  Aperture variables such as PageNumber will not be replaced within
  attributes such as <body onload="dialog(PageNumber);">.
  it is very difficult to use document.write anywhere within the html <body>.
  Aperture seems to be using JavaScript to export the html and its code is not
  able to cope with more than one instance of document.write in the html
  templates. after hours of trial and error, I found that the most stable way
  to use JavaScript within the html <body> was to only use one <script>
  element and place everything within it. using document.write within a second
  <script> element would almost certainly lead to unpredictable exported html,
  and instability and crashes in Aperture.
iMac Duo Core 2GHz 2GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It worked. I still have a few tweaks to do on my final template, but the method I described above works. I've set up my templates like this:
1) one large image per thumbnail page (like a photo essay or photo blog style)
2) same size image on detail page, but with paypal buttons directly below in their own table (I have several different paypal buttons - for different print sizes and a couple other things like postcards, etc.)
The neatest thing about this setup is that since it's all controlled by flat html and css, it looks almost like javascript the way the paypal buttons pop up - the image stays in exactly the same place and the buttons just appear below it (haven't tried it on a slow connection, though, probably a slight delay).
This is great because I hate javascript but sometimes like the immediate visual effects it allows.
This template makes it trivial to create a reverse chronological gallery/journal - kind of like a photoblog - and allows visitors to view the large images without the extra clutter of the buttons, but then they can just click on the image to reveal the buttons and click the image again to hide them.
The benefit of putting these buttons directly into the Aperture templates rather than using a find-replace script to add them to iWeb pages after processing? Well, using Aperture, I can add the PageTitle tag to the Paypal button - it doesn't work in hidden form fields or anything that needs to go inside an attribute, but it does parse using a textarea field, which I hid with CSS - This alleviates the problem many photographer sites have where they ask the buyer to email them with the image name/number they want - this way, the shopping cart automatically knows which image they're ordering.
PageTitle uses the following format: Gallery/Journal Name - Image/Version Name
So using this tag in the Paypal button tells me which image the buyer wants and which gallery they were viewing when they ordered - simple but effective.
Anyway, I know it's been a few weeks since I last replied, but I thought I would post this for others who might be interested in doing something similar - entirely through Aperture. Sorry about the run-on sentences; I'm a bit pre-occupied to proofread today.

     Basis
Alignment of SAP BW objects within your SAP BW system landscape     Check and, where required, re-align SAP BW Objects and developments in your SAP BW system landscape (Development, Quality Assurance and Production).
SAP BW Object differences can impact the quality of testing in the Development and Test environment and can lead to change management issues.
     This check is to minimize risk and ensure productive objects are being tested prior to the Production upgrade.
Where alignment issues exist and realignment is not possible, alternative testing plans should be devised.
     Basis/BW
Confirm all developments are deployed.     Ensure that all SAP BW developments are deployed or they are to be re-developed/tested after the upgrade.
     In the DEV system, all SAP BW development transports should be released (i.e. transport created and released) and imported to all downstream systems (i.e. QAS and PRD systems).
For SAP BW developments not already collected in the transport collector, a decision must be made:
Deploy the developments or wait until the upgrade has completed to deploy.
o     Development to be deployed should be collected, released, and imported into the QAS and PRD systems.
o     Developments that should be deployed after the upgrade should be re-tested/re-developed after the upgrade.
     In the QAS or PRD systems, ensure that all SAP BW development transports have been imported prior to the upgrade.

Pre-upgrade Process:
Download required BI 7.0 support package Stack for inclusion in the upgrade     Determine the equivalent support package level of the source SAP BW release and the target SAP BW release.
     There is a minimum requirement that you upgrade to at least the equivalent support package level on the target SAP BW release so that you do not lose functionality, corrections, and data.
     It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of all support packages during the upgrade via the upgradeu2019s support package binding functionality.
     BI 7.0 Support Packages are delivered via SAP NetWeaver u201904 Support Package stacks (SP-Stacks). It is not recommended to partially apply some of the SP-Stacksu2019 individual support packages. You should apply all of the SP-Stacks support packages at once.
For more information on the SP-Stacks and SAP NetWeaver SP-Stacks, please see the SAP service marketplace alias SP-Stacks (http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks)

     Note: take care not to delete objects that are in use as this will cause queries, compressions, etc to terminate.
     BW
Validate your SAP BW Objects for correctness prior to your upgrade     Using the SAP BW Analysis Tool (transaction RSRV), perform extensive tests on all important SAP BW Objects to ensure their correctness prior to the upgrade.
Note: this test should be repeatable so you can re-validate after the upgrade!
     Ensure that any inconsistencies are identified and corrected
     RSRV has a number of extensive tests and if all checks are executed will consume a large amount of time. Multiple tests can be performed in parallel.
     Tip: Some corrections in development can be deployed to other systems via transport in advance of the next upgrade.
     BW
Ensure DB Statistics are up to date prior to the upgrade          Check DB statistics for all tables.

Loading of MIME objects into HTML pages

Hi Everyone
I am trying to load two logos as mime objects into an HTML page.
I am using
call method web_page->load_mime_object
After that I use
call method web_page->show_url
Whenever I call this last method with parameter in_place as a space (to call an external browser) my logos are not displayed.
If I call the method with in_place as 'X' the logos appear.
The mime objects reside in the SAP web repository (trans smw0).
Any ideas how to pull the logos into the external page?
Regards
Johan

Hi Satya
Thanks very much for your reply. I do not use ITS for my purposes but it is something to be remembered for next time.
I have actually solved the problem but only with a "second price" solution.
In the HTML form I have pointed the source of my two images to a shared folder somewhere on our dev server. For our purpose this will always work.
What I am thinking is that if SAP allows an external browser to be used it should also give the means of loading the images. Maybe I just don't know how.
Now that I think about it more - I should go and try your suggestion in any case and see if it works.
I thank you again and if anyone comes with more ideas they will be as welcome.
Regards
Johan

Mime Objects and non-static template

Hi All,
When I bring up a non-static web template, icons stored as mime objects are not initially displayed. When I do a drill down or any other operation these are then displayed.
I know that this is not an issue with static layouts.
Does anyone know how to force it so that these are displayed when the template is first called up?
Cheers,
Robert Zovic
Arinso International

Sorry Max,
I originally included this in this group, although it is a web template designed using the Web Application Design tool.
The template itself has had it's property set to non static. This is to overcome issues with the connection/resources remaining locked by the ICM.
The icons have been uploaded through se80. It's strange but on the initial callup of the template they don't appear. On each subsequent access, they do.

Frank,
I tried to find some examples/samples on how to create CollectionModel for a table component but not successful.
Can you clarify the following ?
1. "CollectionModel" is referenced only by af:table attributes "value", "selectedRowKeys" and "selectionListener".
The rest of af:table attributes such as "rows", "fetchSize" used to reference the iterator binding in the binding container via the EL expression "#{bindings.VOIteratorBinding.xxx} .
What should I replace that EL expression with?
2. I heck out the bean method to create the CollectionModel as following, is it close to what you mean?
public void initBusinessDataDashboardView() {
OperationBinding operation = BeanUtils.getOperationBinding("getPanelBusinessData");
Map params = operation.getParamsMap();
Key panelKey = getPanelInfoView().getKey();
params.put("panelKey", panelKey);
params.put("maximizedView", false);
panelView = (ViewObject)operation.execute();
// Heck code to create CollectionModel
RowSet rowSet = panelView.getRowSet();
ArrayList rowList = new ArrayList();
while (rowSet.hasNext()) {
rowList.add(rowSet.next());
model = new ChildPropertyTreeModel(rowList, null);
// To be used to set up af:table value, selectRowKeys, selectionListener via EL expr #{backingBeanScope.MyBean.model.xxx}
public CollectionModel getModel() {
return model;
Am I on the right track?

Missing Templates in iphoto how to get them back?

I'm using Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.2 , i have iphoto version 9.2.1 (628) , Now when i use email in iphoto and i want to use the templates so they are missing can someone help me how to get them back?

You'll need to reinstall iPhoto from the source it came from, i.e. the Software Install disk that came with your MBP or an iLife11 disk. If the MPB came with Lion install you'll have to download iPhoto from the App Store.
To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto and apply any needed updaters.
I may be presching to the choir here but in Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
