Is SPM Reporting Flex included in the SAP Roadmap

Hi Rajesh, Rohit,
A quick question here regarding the SPM Flex reporting tool and whether this has been included in SAP's Roadmap strategy for the future. I can't see any mention of it in any presentations or literature. Concerns over whether it will become obsolete, etc. Can't see it as the integration to other advanced features such as Spend Advisor and E-Sourcing is vital.
Any advice welcome.
Best regards,
Pom

Hi Pom,
Customer and partners have asked this question a few times before and a very valid one. Nothing is a grantee, and I am no fortune teller. As and when new technologies emerge SAP will evaluate them to weigh their benefits against existing choices. Having said all of that, this architecture of delivering the flex UI for end users and using NW BW as the data warehouse is gaining popularity. So Adobe Flex based UI is here to stay at least for the near future.
Starting mid this year you will see other applications in EPM (Enterprise Performance Management Suite) use this architecture and technology. Some of them are already on this band wagon. In fact SPM UI is being separated and this UI will be used by the other application. Meaning all applications will have the same look and feel.
Hope this helps
Rohit

Hi
Extended Computer Aided Test Tool (eCATT) to create and execute functional tests for software. The primary aim is the automatic testing of SAP business processes. Each test generates a detailed log that documents the test process and results.
Features
You can:
· Test transactions and reports
· Call BAPIs and function modules
· Test remote systems
· Check authorizations (user profiles)
· Test database updates
· Test the effects of changes to customizing tables
· Test the effect of changes to customizing settings
· Check system messages
Constraints
eCATT runs in a system based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20 or higher. However, you can use this system to test systems with Release 4.6C or higher.

Crystal Report requests Database logon if SAP BW is datasource

Hi all
I experience the following:
1. SSO from SAP Portal to BOE works: I can view Sample Crystal Reports based on the BO-iView-template without additional login
2. SSO from SAP Portal to SAP BW works: a) I can view custom BW Web queries without additional login and b) the connection tests on the system object in SAP Portal run fine
3. I assume SSO between BOE and BW works because I can view Xcelsius dashboards based on BW queries within SAP Portal without additional login
Nevertheless I am presented a login screen ("The report you requested requires further information. -
Database Logon") if I try to view a crystal report based on a BW query, no matter if I start the report from InfoView, SAPGUI or SAP Portal. If I enter my SAP credentials in "Databse logon"-window I can see the report runs fine.
SAP Authentication in BOE seems to work (I can import users & roles). In all 3 systems I have at least Admin or equivalent permissions. If I change the Database Configuration for this report within InfoView ("Use SSO") it does make any change (I also read somewhere a reply from I. Hilgefort that this is not necessary if BW publisher service is installed correctly).
We use SAP BW 701.06, BOE XI31FP3.4 and SAP Portal 701SP6
I publish the report from Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 with the SAP-Menu -> Save Report.
I logon to InfoView-App with my SAP-BW credentials.
Any help appreciated!

Real solution is different, my other post is only a workaround:
1. SNC settings in CMC were not correct (Certificate path, path to sapcrypto.dll)
2. Relevant Serices have to run under local username
3. Username has to be added to PSE

How to find the report for the SAP query (Query exists in table AQLQCAT)

Hello Experts,
I need to find the tables used in the SAP Query but i don't have access to transaction SQ01,SQ02 and SQ03 to check the same.
Therefore i checked table AQLQCAT and got the SAP Queries in the system. Then searched for the reports that would have been generated for the same passing AQusergroupquery name* in transaction SE38.
But unfortunately the program does not exists for the given paramenter.
Could you please let me know how to get the report name for the SAP Query.
Secondly please suggest any other way of checking the tables used in the SAP Query.
Also the table name from where i can download the SAP Queries.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahul Sinha

I suggest you a simple method.
Execute the query. When the selection screen is showed, go to menu and click to SYSTEM->STATUS.
Check the program name and double click it to access the program code.
Search for tables or functions into the source code in order to understand where data are taken.
If you do not find anything , go to the program atttribute and check for logic database, sometimes they are used....
Best regards.

Script for the SAP report - download to excel - problem

Hi all
I know that similar problem had already been discussed but going through the solution presented in
any of that topic I was not able to be successful (I am beginner in terms of VBA and SAP scripting)
What I would like to do is simply create the SAP script which based on the parameters filled
in in the excel sheet (user form created) will connect to SAP and make the report which I would like to have saved on my local drive as an excel file.
Everything is ok till the moment I would like to save it. As you know SAP records the macro only till the moment some window pops up (where and under what name you would like to have your report saved)
Could you please advise ?
As a screen I attached also point where macro stops (maybe this makes difference)
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Below my code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim MojaData
MojaData = ComboBox2.Value
Dim Companycode
Companycode = ComboBox1.Value
Dim Depreciation_area
Depreciation_area = ComboBox3.Value
If Not IsObject(Application1) Then
Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
Set Application1 = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine
End If
If Not IsObject(Connection) Then
Set Connection = Application1.Children(0)
End If
If Not IsObject(session) Then
Set session = Connection.Children(0)
End If
If IsObject(WScript) Then
WScript.ConnectObject session, "on"
WScript.ConnectObject Application1, "on"
End If
Dim sbar As String
sbar = session.findById("wnd[0]/sbar").Text
session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").Text = "/n s_alr_87011990"
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtBUKRS-LOW").Text = Companycode
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtSO_ANLKL-LOW").Text = ""
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtBERDATUM").Text = MojaData
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtBEREICH1").Text = Depreciation_area
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtSRTVR").Text = "0003"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/radSUMMB").SetFocus
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[8]").press
session.findById("wnd[0]/mbar/menu[0]/menu[1]/menu[1]").Select

MJ MJ - I cannot replicate a screen like you have to test it but here's what I would suggest:
Immediately above the command that brings up the SAVE AS dialog, insert these lines:
... your code up to here.....
FileName = "C:\Apps\Notifications.txt" '<----- enter your save file path/name
Wshell.run "C:\Apps\DataLoad.vbs " & FileName,1,False '<-- call up the loader program
... then continue with your code....
Then build a program "dataload.vbs" as follows:
Dim FileNam2
Set Wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
bWindowFound = Wshell.AppActivate("Save As")
WScript.Sleep 1000
Loop Until bWindowFound
bWindowFound = Wshell.AppActivate("Save As")
if (bWindowFound) Then
Wshell.appActivate "Save As"
WScript.Sleep 100
Wshell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
Wshell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
Wshell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
Wshell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
Wshell.sendkeys "{TAB}" 'make 4 or 5 depending on the platform 4:XP, 5:Win7
WScript.Sleep 100
FileNam2 = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
Wshell.sendkeys FileNam2
WScript.Sleep 100
Wshell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 100
end if
This should do the trick of copying your filename into the filename box in the SAVE AS dialog.As I said, I did not get to test it but that is the theory.
Trial-and-error is the only way in many cases.
Good luck

Umur

How to add a report into the SAP-SCRIPT .using PERFORM ......ENDPERFORM

My question is that How to add a report into the SAP-SCRIPT .
by using PERFORM ......ENDPERFORM
I don't know how to used it .

Hi Sandeep,
Please check this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/d1/803279454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/37425.html
Calling ABAP Subroutines: PERFORM
You can use the PERFORM command to call an ABAP subroutine (form) from any program, subject to the normal ABAP runtime authorization checking. You can use such calls to subroutines for carrying out calculations, for obtaining data from the database that is needed at display or print time, for formatting data, and so on.
PERFORM commands, like all control commands, are executed when a document is formatted for display or printing. Communication between a subroutine that you call and the document is by way of symbols whose values are set in the subroutine.
Syntax in a form window:
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of the four SAPscript symbol types.
OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must therefore be character strings.
The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated above must be defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:
FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
ENDFORM.
The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING... are now stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system passes the values as character string to the subroutine, since the field Feld VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR 80). See the example below on how to access the variables.
The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the CHANGING parameters in the PERFORM statement. These parameters are local text symbols, that is, character fields. See the example below on how to return the variables within the subroutine.
From within a SAPscript form, a subroutine GET_BARCODE in the ABAP program QCJPERFO is called. Then the simple barcode contained there (u2018First pageu2019, u2018Next pageu2019, u2018Last pageu2019) is printed as local variable symbol.
Definition in the SAPscript form:
/: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
/: USING &PAGE&
/: USING &NEXTPAGE&
/: CHANGING &BARCODE&
/: ENDPERFORM
/ &BARCODE&
Coding of the calling ABAP program:
REPORT QCJPERFO.
FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY u2018PAGEu2019.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY u2018NEXTPAGEu2019.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY u2018BARCODEu2019.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
IF PAGNUM = 1.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = u2018|u2019. "First page
ELSE.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = u2018||u2019. "Next page
ENDIF.
IF NEXTPAGE = 0.
OUT_PAR-VALUE+2 = u2018Lu2019. "Flag: last page
ENDIF.
MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDFORM.

What other assets are available in the flex-included Assets.swf

I see that certain skins for the close button in the TitleWindow are included in Assets.swf (included in the flex SDK).
How can I tell what other assets are included in that file? Specifically I'd like to find the matching assets for minimize and maximize buttons.
I'm using flashdevelop, not cs4 or flexbuilder if that makes any difference in my ability to inspect Assets.swf.
Example:
closeButtonDisabledSkin:Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="CloseButtonDisabled");
closeButtonDownSkin:Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="CloseButtonDown");
closeButtonOverSkin:Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="CloseButtonOver");
closeButtonUpSkin: Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="CloseButtonUp");

First of all, there are no skin resources for minimize and maximize buttons in standard SDK Assets.swf,
so you have to invent them yourself ) and inject to your window class extending TitleWindow.
The answer is logically grounded in the way that noone ever seen any standard widgets having this kind of buttons inplace,
thus they doesn't exists at all and resources for them as well.

Reports included in the page keep looping without retrieving any results

We are facing an issue related to the behaviour of Siebel Analytics when more than 1 answer are included in a dashboard page. When a report is generated, the other reports included in the page keep looping without retrieving any results, but if I manually click on 'cancel' link, the reports successfully appear with consistent data. This behaviour is not stable since sometimes the page works fine, sometimes not, but it's not clear what it depends on. Can anybody please let me know if this behaviour is a known bug.

Hi Deb,
Could you please explain me in more detail?
The problem is we are able to see the old reports that we were already moved into Q environment. The newly moved 5 reports are giving this error message.
Please help
