Is it possible to provide an BEx Web Query with parameters based on iView?

Hi SAP Portal experts,
My knowledge of SAP Portal is limited and I ran into the following problem:
I have got about 60 BEx Web Queries which should be put into some sort of navigation. Furthermore I would like to intodruce one start page where the user can preselect common bex query variables (e.g. company code) by clicking on a map.
My approach was to put all query links into a BEx Web Application Template. The template includes a JavaScript storing the userdefined values in a cookie. As soon as the user clicks on a link the cookie values are read from that cookie and a query parameter string is set up like "&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_VARIABLES_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE=VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING=2100&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE=0P_COCD" and concatenated with the URL for the BEx Query.
My colleague wants me to put all this into SAP Portal and to create an iView for each BEx Query. How can I achieve that? I have already had a look at the iView property "parameters passed on to BEx Web Application". If I put my parameter string there, it works fine. However, I would like to replace VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING=2100 and VARIABLE=0P_COCD with the values selected by the user by clicking on the map. So how can I set up a parameter or variable in one iView and read it in another iView with a BEx Web Query???
Thank you very much in advance

I have thought about this. There are some problems here....
I cannot use the same proxy to invoke the java callout and then based on the code or handler disable it, since
1) i would have no way to enable back the proxy again.
2) Also there is some amount of message loss.
So i will have to use another proxy to do the same, but in this case
1) what would be the trigger to this proxy?
2) And how often do i invoke the java callout to see if the URI is up or not? (wouldnt that affect the performance?)
I am just wondering why did they give an offline URI option in the business service and no similar option in the proxy service, Any Idea?
Thanks

PDF printing from BEx Web Query

Hi Experts
When I try to print (Print Version) a BEx Web query I only get the message "Error while generating PDF". Do I need to set any setting to get this feature to work properly?
Kind regards

Hi:
Yes - ADS is one of the standalone engines that should be installed in your technical foundations of the system. It comes with the upgrade / installation kits. This is documented in the master guide - service.sap.com/instguides.

Exporting to Microsoft Excel from a DataView Web Part consuming a Web Service with Parameters

In Sharepoint Designer, I've developed a page displaying a DataView Web Part which consumes an XML Web Service with three parameters. These parameters are passed in from a simple Form Web Part containing three input fields. I am able to provide default values for the web service so the dataview is initially populated, and when I enter in new parameters, the web service goes back, grabs the requested data and displays in the dataview nice and slick.
The problem I'm having is this: In Internet Explorer 7, when I right-click on the DataView Web Part and select Export to Microsoft Excel, Excel opens up, says "ExternalData_1: Getting Data..." and returns the data from the web service which applies to the default parameter values each and every time, regardless of whether I have changed the parameters on the web page, and contrary to what the DataView Web Part displays on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this, and is there a solution to the problem?
Best regards,
Mark Christie

Hi Bullish35,
It's possible to provide single export button and export your 4 dataview webparts. Here's the modified code.
<Script Language="Javascript">
function isIE() // Function to Determine IE or Not
return /msie/i.test(navigator.userAgent) && !/opera/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
function exportToExcel() // Function to Export the Table Data to Excel.
var isIEBrowser = isIE();
if(isIEBrowser== false)
alert('Please use Internet Explorer for Excel Export Functionality.');
return false;
else
var strTableID1 = "detailsTable1", strTableID2 = "detailsTable2", strTableID3 = "detailsTable3", strTableID4 = "detailsTable4";
var objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
var objWorkBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add;
var objWorkSheet = objWorkBook.Worksheets(1);
var detailsTable = document.getElementById(strTableID1);
var intRowIndexGlobal= 0;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable1.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable1.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable1.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable2.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable2.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable2.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable3.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable3.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable3.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable4.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable4.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable4.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
objExcel.Visible = true;
objExcel.UserControl = true;
</Script>
I haven't tested this. But it should work! :)Regards,

This perfectly works with one table and one nav. block per tab. When I include a second table and a second nav. blocks in some tab, it doesn't work properly anymore (the selected tab is not highlighted). I think that I'm not naming the table and nav. block properly:
ITEM: TAB1
ITEM: TAB1NAVIGATIONBLOCK_1
Second table?
Second nav. block?
Could someone help me further?
Thanks, Nippon

with other words..
strip1 = 2 tables, name TAB1_0 and TAB1_1
strip2 = 2 tables, name TAB2_0 and TAB2_1
Navblock strip1 = 2 navblocks, name TAB1_0_NAV and TAB1_1_NAV
Navblock strip2 = 2 navblocks, name TAB2_0_NAV and TAB2_1_NAV
The JavaScript Paramter is TAB1, TAB2 and TAB3. So need every strip-group the same "main"-name.
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB1"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB1')">Tab 1</A>
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB2"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB2')">Tab 2</A>
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB3"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB3')">Tab 3</A>
First of all JavaScript set all objects to hidden, then set all objects with 'name' visible.

if I wanted to extend the code to include the navigation block for the 3 queries in all the three tabs.. any ideas how to do that?

Hi KBWUSER, I tested this template in a BW 3.5 system, should be worth a try to check whether it works in your 3.1C system:

Start GP Process from VC using Web Service with parameters

Hi,
II´m trying to instantiate a GP process from a Vc iView using a Web Service; I always used Instantiation via URL but using this method I don´t have any "return" data from GP saying "Ok - The process started succesfully".
The questions are:
1) Is possible to start a GP process via Web Services through a VC Flash iview? If so, is posible to send input parameters to the process via the web service?
2) Does the web service returns any message with the status of the process? ( something like: "the process started succesfully")
Best regards,
Marco.

1) Is possible to start a GP process via Web Services through a VC Flash iview? If so, is posible to send input parameters to the process via the web service?
A: Yes. You can send input parameters to the service through WS.
2) Does the web service returns any message with the status of the process? ( something like: "the process started succesfully")
A: Yes. The return message can be added to the WS. It depends on how do designed the WS.

Web Clip with Parameters

I have a page that I would like to webclip. Problem is, the page contains parameters. For the classic example Lets say I have developed a page using php that will list employees belonging to a certain department. The web page would look something like this
http://mycompany.com/list_emps.php?deptno=30
I want to be able to defined this parameter using a drop down parameter list. Once I hit submit, I would see the web page with desired results. I've seen the demo where something similar to this is done, but in my case I want to see the whole page rendered. In the demo that I've seen you have to pick a certain region and somehow the web clipping tool traps the parameters. I've talked to support and we've tried passing parameters, but nothing seems to work. The support analyst basically told me that I would have to customize something that will allow me to load the page with the passed parameter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming the reason you're using Web Clipping is because you want your content rendered inside of a Portal page. As a much simpler alternative, if you are OK with having your content (page) accessed directly by the browser (outside of Portal), you can use the HTML Portlet (found within the Portlet Builders section of the Portlet Repository) to manually author an HTML snippet that has a has a drop-down like you mentioned and refreshes the page to the constructed URL of http://mycompany.com/list_emps.php?deptno=<whatever is selected>
Using Clipping, there are three issues that you want resolved here:
1) Full page Clipping - this is easily done just by clicking on the "Select" button instead of the "Section" button when you're on a page you wish to select
2) Clipping Parameters - In order to do what you asked, you will have to expose deptno as a Clipping parameter.
In order for that to happen, there has to be an existing page (call it page 1) that points to http://mycompany.com/list_emps.php?deptno=30 after a form submission (the 30 is entered as a form input).
As you enter the "Edit Defaults" (marked by the pencil icon) of the Web Clipping Portlet, and enter a starting URL to enter into the Web Clipping Studio, you will enter the URL for page 1 first and then use form submission to navigate (still within the Studio) to http://mycompany.com/list_emps.php?deptno=30.
Upon completion of the Web Clipping Studio (see issue 1 above), you'll return to the "Edit Defaults" where you'll see at the bottom of the page a table that allows you to expose Clipping Parameters - there you'll find deptno, and you can assign it to Param1 through Param5.
3) Create a Page Parameter that maps to this parameter (you can call it deptno as well) and wire it to the Param1 (or whatever Param you selected in the previous step). This allows for the Clipping Parameter to be passed from the page as a URL parameter.
Upon completion of 3, you can add another HTML Portlet on the page to change the current "Portal" URL based on the deptno value selected in a drop down.
I know it's a lot to read, but hope this helps,
Cheers,
Paul

Web host with Safari-based site builder?

My current website host (XO) has "lost" my site and has decided to phase out its Site Builder, which I could use with Safari, in favor of its new Web Builder, which is only accessible with IE 6. As most of you know, there is no IE 6 available for Mac and MS has stopped supporting ANY IE for Mac. I don't know HTML and am not really interested in learning it. Does anyone know of a good, reliable web host with an easy site building program that is Safari-able?
Thanks!
Liz

I found a great one after searching for months. It's called macwebsitebuilder.com and it has everything! Easy to use and tons of feautres.

Security Provider for a web dynpro with tool Visual Administrator

Hello all,
after deploying successfully my web dynpro on the J2EE 7.0 WAS, I'm trying to set up authentication to it but I cannot find my applicaiton in the list of policy configurations of the Security Provider entry. When I try to add the path to my local web dynpro, the engine doesn't find it.
I have noticed that all other policy configurations reference a servlet_jsp application. Should I transform my web dynpro into a servlet_jsp? How do I do that?
Thanks for your input,
Tanguy Mezzano

Hello Marcel,
in fact, I don't succeed to redeploy with another provider name... I have undeployed my webdynpro with SDM on the Java stack, but from NWDS, when I change the application-j2ee-engine.xml and application.xml files, and that I rebuild the webdynpro, when I run and deploy, it always redeploys under the former provider: local.
When I create the application, I tell to use the existing component, should I select create a new one, but that means that I have to rebuild the whole application.
Will then the webdynpro be in the Security Provider list, so that I can configure it with http header?
Thx for your help,
Tanguy

BEx web query execution problem

Dear All,
While running a BI query through BEx Query Designer, it is generating portal URL as:
http:///irj/portal/ .....
instead of standard format
http://<hostname>:<port number>/...
For our project, EP is out of scope. So, how can I make this work. (as far I know, /irj/portal points to a enterprise portal link)
Please correct me where I'm wrong.
regards, Sean.

Hi,
I did include the hostname, which in my case is the solaris zone name. It doesn't work.
Moreover I am using template installer for BIPost Inst steps. Out of 17, I face error in step 12:
Import ABAP Certificate to Engine
Import not successful
Element 'SAPConfigLib.BID.Unclassified.uploadAbapCertificate':!BrokerImport.import_of_element_failed!!BrokerImport.Fehler!com.sap.tc.lm.ctc.cul.cpi.exceptions.CPIBaseException: <Localization failed: ResourceBundle='com.sap.tc.lm.ctc.cul.cpi.CPIResourceBundle', ID='com.sap.tc.lm.ctc.cul.cpi.BaseException_BASE_EXCEPTION', Arguments: []> : Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key com.sap.tc.lm.ctc.cul.cpi.BaseException_BASE_EXCEPTION:com.sap.tc.lm.ctc.provider.javaServiceProvider.JavaServiceWriter.writeElement!BrokerImport.LINE!157-:com.sap.tc.lm.ctc.cul.broker.BrokerImport.importElement.86

Element 'SAPConfigLib.BID.Unclassified.uploadAbapCertificate':Error during executing Java Reflection:Remote call errored.
All other steps completed successfully. After all this work, when we execute query, it simply hangs in contrast to previous URL being generated.
I guess we are leading somewhere. Could you help me with above error please.
regards, Sean.

Possible to write non HTTP WEB services with an Application Server?

Is it possible to write services with the backend of an application server in JavaEE 5? Like a server listening for mails? Where does one find information about that? Books only discuss web (html/http) services that you can build in an AS...

Hi Dugu,
Can you give the link to the specific article and the version of JDeveloper you are using to help you further?
One thing to keep in mind is that the accessors must be public - using package access (no modifier) is not going to work.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Strange behavior in BEX web query

Hi expert
I met a very strange issue, one report is showing data randomly. The report shows no data for a particular key figure. If I save as a Y query without any change, data is there.
This is happening irrespective of what selections you provide.
Could anyone advise me what might be the root cause?
Thanks

Hello Ingo
In RSRT, still I am not able see the data by main query.
but if I select Y query, then I could see the data.

Is it possible to use Standalone Apache web server with APEX ?

HI,
We are currently evaluating Oracle Applciation Express to be part of our product suite.
Currently, in our software landscape, we are using standalone apache http server on the database server (Required for our java front end application). We support our product on both 9i & 10g. My query is for Oracle APEX, can I use the same standaloe apache http server or Is it a must that I have to use Oracle HTTP server. (I read abt' embedded PL/SQL gateway, however I am not sure whether it's supported on 9i). I am not sure, whether for mod_plsql we have to use Oracle HTTP server only.
Any inputs on this will be of great help.
Thanks,
Ganesh

To access APEX through Apache, you need to use mod_plsql. I don't think there is a mod_plsql plug-in that you can install into a standalone Apacher server. I could be wrong, someone else might know more about this.
I think it would probably be easiest to use the HTTP server that comes on the 10g companion disk - that comes "free" when you buy the database. It is Apache and it has mod_plsql already installed and set up.
Seems like I played around with the embedded PL/SQL gateway (DBMS_EPG package) on 9i a while ago. I could be wrong, it was a while ago. I was in the process of upgrading 8iR3 to 9iR2 and also evaluating new features of 10gR1. Things seem to mesh together after time.
Thanks,
Dan

hi,I have a problem in a report published as web service.indeed, the report has a parameter, a date.Client side I do this://I create the parameter ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields(); ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField(); ParameterDiscreteValue paramDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue(); paramField.Name = "date"; paramDiscreteValue.Value = "10/10/2006"; paramField.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue); paramFields.Add(paramField);//I add the parameter into the crVievwer crystalReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;//I call the web service to get data crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = "http://localhost/WebService/Rapport1Service.asmx"; Server Side :Now, I want to get back the parameter in the web service (in Rapport1Service.asmx, so server-side) to be able to call my storedprocedure with the good parameter, this one which was put on the client side (10/10/2006).I tried to do crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = "http://localhost/WebService/Rapport1Service.asmx?date=22/10/2006" on the client side but no way. i don't find a solution, is there any way to make this possible ?Moreover, i have one database for each user, so i need to pass the user name, password and account too..

I have found a solution.
I create a web service in which i return a dataset, filled with the data wanted.the web service take as parameter: the report name we want, the parameter(s), and the username and password (to check if the user has right to access to data.)After that, I fill the report, client side, with the datasen given. i don't know if it's the best solution but it works !

Is it possible to provide an BEx Web Query with parameters based on iView?
