Importing BAPI's in Visual Composer

hi
we have installed EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 4
on which we have installed Visual Composer 6.0. we are able to successfully launch VC and also connect to the portal. using user mapping we can also connect to R/3 and browse and see the list of available BAPI's but when we tried to drag the BAPI into our design interface it gave an error saying something about cannot be done and pointing to a directory com/.../objectfactory.
we are able to drag user defined BAPI's but not sap defined ones and also the user defined after dragging do not show any input parameters when we click test function tab.Can anybody help?
thanks

hi richard
no we have been unable to solve that problem.
as far as i think it has something to do with portal permissions within r/3 coz the vc does call all datasources in r/3 thru the portal. i dont know whether importing portal certficate into r/3 could solve it also maybe assigning the general communication user role SAPJSF that lies in r/3.
we are working on it will post the result once we have tried it.
thanks

Can we call a BAPI iteratively in Visual Composer

Hello All,
I have a Web Service that returns a table of Sold-Tos. I want to call the BAPI iteratively for each Sold-To in Visual Composer, get the cumilative result and display it in a table.
Please advise.

Hi Subba,
I don't think you can do that.
What you can do is to adapt your service or create a new one that will do that for you (will get the table and make the needed calculation).

BAPI s in Visual Composer

Hi,
In Visual Composer, for R/3 systems we use BAPIs. This BAPIs have some mandatory fields for input port and without filling all this fields we cant get data.
For sales order BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST there are two of them, customer number and sales organisation.
But for example, i want to see all the customers in one sales organisation but without entering a value for customer i cant get data when testing the data service anad in the portal too.
i have to find another BAPI or another way to use this one?

Hi,
I assume, you're giving the exact no. of digits in the input parameters to test. Check again.
>i test bapis input parameters whit VC, but sometimes it doesnt work
Does this mean, that there have been instances when it has shown the output for the same inputs? Please explain more

How to use ENQUE and DEQUE BAPI in Visual Composer

If any one having this experience please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhi.

Hi,
Nice to see your reply, we got this error in R/3 it self, when we are trying to excuting SAP Standard BAPI we are getting this error "Employee/applicant is not locked yet". I think this is bug from SAP itself, do you have any idea about this one? is there any settings we need to do in R/3 for resolving this one or else is there any data we need to maintaine for our Employee Records.
Please resolve my issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

BAPI in Visual Composer

Dear all,
im using Visual composer 7.0 and trying to build an application for Real Estate.
when i goto BAPI transation in ECC 6.0 i can see my bapi
bapi_re_sc_create with diffirent input parametrs than those
appearing in the visual composer (input ports).
does this mean i have to raise a message to SAP or did
someone come through this error before ?
Regards,
Sami

Prachi,
i have made sure both system and client are same.
please if anyone has access to visual composer and transaction BAPI
check input ports for BAPI_RE_SR_CREATE in visual composer and in transaction BAPI select the filter all, and then select
Real estate Management --> Flexible real estate -->
RESearchRequestREFX --> Create.
check import parameters are they the same

Visual composer - BAPI - current parameters

I created the custom BAPI (function module) in R/3. I added some import parameters in the function module, those newly added parameters are not visible in visual composer data services.
How do I, get the latest changes parameters in visual composer?
Thanks,
Subbu Kuppusami

Subbu,
Im sorry the mentioned method works only for VC 7.1 in VC 7.0 there is a different method.
Choose Tools --> Options --> Compiler.
In Data Service Retrieval combo box
choose Donot cache data service get latest.
Log off from your model.
log on again and goto the context menu of your bapi.
then choose Define data Service your import parameters should appear now.

Sami

How to call a BAPI from Visual Composer

hi,
I am new to Visual composer. can some body give me step by step information of calling a bapi or RFC from VC.
Thanks in advance,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
Steps involed for calling RFC/BAPI from VC
1. Choose Model->Select Data Services.
(Alternatively, click the Data button in the task panel toolbar.)
2. In the Portal field at the right end of the main toolbar, enter the URL of the portal from
which you can access the back-end system used by the iView.
For example, you could enter: http://<yourportal>:50000/..
3. Click the traffic light icon to the right of the Portal field. The portal Welcome screen
appears.
4. Log on to the portal as a user that exists in the connected back-end system, or which is
mapped to a user of that system. Click OK.
Once a connection to the portal is established, a list of system aliases defined in the
portal system landscape appears in the System drop-down
list.
From the System drop-down list, choose the SAP system that contains the function module.
6. Under Search SAP System, click the Search tab and in the Name field, enter the search string: <RFC/BAPI name>. Then click Search (at the bottom).
5. A list of function modules matching the search string is displayed.
7. Drag the function module/bapi from the Data task panel into the
workspace: The data service is added to your model.
8. Periodically save your work. To do so, choose File->Save Model.
Finally test the iview in VC.
In the workspace, drag your mouse from the Input port of the data service, <inputform> and dragn your mouse from the outut port from the data service <tabelview and etc..>
or
Go through the this documentation...

In Visual Composer Can we Pass a whole Table to a Bapi

I have a Bapi which takes a table as input and stores the values in SAP-Database.
But in Visual Composer i am not able to do it.When i fetching the Bapi into Storyboard its not showing the Input field for passing the table.
Is it a limitation of Visual Composer? Or do i have to change my bapi in some manner so that i will be able to pass the whole table.
Regards,
Paresh.

Hi Paresh,
can try to copy the BAPI with another name. Then drag the BAPI again on the storyboard. Maybe now you have the Input Port.
The same problem sometimes occurs for RFC function moduls.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Guide on how to use a self programmed BAPI in Visual Composer

Hi all,
I am absolutely new to modelling with the Visual Composer, so probably this is a fairly easy question for most of you, but it's driving ME nuts.
I have a BAPI in my ERP6 system. This BAPI was programmed by some other guy (not working here anymore) and it is used to output some time management data for a user. It expects a personnel number as input and is then supposed to return the amount of time an employee worked that day.
Now what I need/want to do is this:
a user logs on to the portal with his user-id and I want to create an iView on the first page that displays his/her remaining time of work for that day.
All I have is the user-id, from which I need to query the personnel number from infotype105 and then use this number as input for the BAPI - And I want to do this with the Visual Composer!
Can someone point me to some good documentation how to get started with using a BAPI in Visual Composer?
I have a sesond problem right now, that has something to do with necessary rights for system connection or system alias - not sure:
Right now, I can't see any BAPI in my backend-system, because I seem to be mssing the necessary rights to use the system connection I created - although group everyone has read access to the connection an I setup SSO between portal and ERP system.
So maybe solme of you gurus might be able to point me to some good documentation on these topics, as I'm kinda stuck here
Greetings,
Christian

Hi,
Yes its very much necessary to do the user mapping untill unless if you did not do the single sign on Trust .
It is necessary to get the data from the Back end i.e your Ssytem.
Steps :
Go to Useradministartion->find your VC user (using which user you are logging to the VC)->CLICK ON MODIFY->Select usermapping Tab->select the System alias ->give the credentials of the System (i.e Back end) then Save.
After that Check the Connection Test for the Syetm you connected .
Steps:
System Administartion->Syste configuration->Visual Composer-> fRight Click on your Backend Sytem->select Connection test->do the connecton test .
if the results are failed means the usermapping is wrong.

How to import of Visual Composer@browser models into Visual Composer@NWDS?

Hello,
some month ago, I started modeling a number of composite views with the browser version of the Visual Composer 7.1 SP 5. At this time, the corresonding NWDS did not provide an integrated Visual Composer.
Now, we have moved to the CE 7.1 EhP 1 SP 2. This time the NWDS provides an integrated Visual Composer. Unfortunately, the integrated Visual Composer does not display my models.
How can I import my Visual Composer models from the browser version to the NWDS version?
Thanks a lot and kind regards
Alexander

Hello Talia,
You can use Import/Export in order to move your models from Visual Composer@browser to Visual Composer@NWDS.
Although, I have been able to export my models from VC@browser, I have not succeeded in importing them into VC@NWDS. Can you please give me a hint how to do that?
But If you intend to add your models to DTR (Source Control repository) in the future, you should to add them to DTR in VC@browser first, import them in NWDS (using Development Infrastructure perspective) from the DTR, check out, continue modeling and check in at the end.
To this end, I have to configure the VC@browser to use the DTR, right? Can you please give me a hint how to perfom the required configuration?
Thanks a lot

BAPI table input parameters for Visual Composer not working?

I am using a BAPI with table input parameters (2 input fields for the table). I tested the BAPI in ecc function builder (it works as planned). However, it doesn't work in Visual Composer using the same input values (not getting any error messages). Is this a bug in VC 7.0? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Brent Crabb on Aug 29, 2008 8:12 PM

Hi,
The data service at a time can execute only one input data.
it will not handle too many inputs at time otherwise all the input ports should have same submit action then it is possible to Execute multiple input forms data .
When you are mapping the input form and the dataservice ,give the same event like this *submit for both Inputforms
Thanks,

RRI in Visual Composer

Dear Colleagues,
Like Report-Report interface (RRI) in BW, wherein detailed report can be invoked from chart/graph, can similar thing is possible in Visual Composer?
Please advice.
Regards
Pankaj

Wih a workaround as below you can tailor to suite your needs ;however there are some limitations you may want to look below-
You can also combine the advantages of the VC and BEx Web runtime. For example, you can develop a VC model that renders the data in Adobe Flex and within this model you can define links to BEx Web Applications that calls the underlying query in order to analyze the data in more detail. There the data will be displayed in DHTML and you can use the BEx features to drill-down in a pivot table, for example
General Aspects - VC
In the area of Analytics you can use different tools to model reporting scenarios and analytical applications.
Deciding which tool best meets your requirements depends on several factors - features, UI technology, User
types, interaction, OLAP and/or OLTP data needed, for example. The UI tool decision tree (see Figure 3) will
support you in your choice and will help you determine which tool meets your requirements in the best way. Your
decision also depends on which criteria (e.g. features) are most important for you.
First you should think about whether you need to use the functionalities of the BI analytical engine (drill-down
navigation in reports, slice and dice analysis, and external presentation hierarchy, for example). If you dont
need those functionalities, then you should use Visual Composer, especially if you want to use query services
(Web Services and/or BAPIs) and/or if you want to embed OLAP data into operational processes. Also, use the
Visual Composer if your analytic application to be rendered with Adobe Flex. Adobe Flex is a presentation-tier
framework and server that enables the development of Rich Internet Applications. With the Adobe Flex UI you
can use interactive UI elements, for example. If you want to use just OLTP data in your reporting scenario, you
also have to use Visual Composer.
If you want to report based only on OLAP data (stored in Info Providers in a SAP BI system), you should use the
BI Suite tools. If the end users should access their reports using MS Excel, you must use the BEx Analyzer.
Beforehand you have to define a query using the Query Designer that then can be easily embedded into a BEx
Analyzer workbook. You can also do basic formatting with standard MS Excel functionality as well as integrating
BI Integrated planning functionality.
If you want to use formatted reporting and if you want to display the reports in a Web Browser, you should use
the Report Designer. With the Report Designer you are able to create formatted reports that are optimized for
presentation and printing. You can also access a number of formatting and layout functions.
If you need to deliver standardized reports, you should use the Pattern Wizard (integrated into the Web
Application Designer) to create pattern-based Web Templates. You can create Information Consumer Patterns
to ensure a standardized UI for the end users who access the Web Templates via the Enterprise Portal. If you
need special UI elements (for example, Tab Strips) or if you want to build planning applications, you have to use
the freestyle Web Application Designer capabilities.
