ITS Theme Generation question
can colors and links be imposed onto child ITS iViews? We have EBP 3.0 and the standard color scheme is blue. Our portal is a different color scheme. In the ITS Theme Generator of the Portal, there only seems to be the option of changing icons, but not base colors like you can do in the portal theme editor.
I know we could go into the ITS itself and modify the style sheets there, but if they could be captured from EP, that would be a little easier.
We had the same problem with one EP 5
When you creatte a style sheet for the portal it create
some css files for the ITS server aswell .. We ended up
chaging the css files for ITS manually...

Mapview dynamic theme generation questions
In exercising the MapViewer tool with thematics map I had a view questions on the capabilities of the component:
1. Is there a way in the map _request element reference a dynamically defined expression (column)
that is returned from the query defined in the value of the "<jdbc_query>" element. I want to show counts from an inline view,
but for brevity consider the the SQL
select geom, state , state || '-' || state_abrv concat_state_name from states
It seems that both the "label_column" attribute of the "<jdbc_query>" element and the "column" attribute of a "<rule>" element in
a style rule can only reference columns that exist in the base table either of the base map/theme or in the query .
I cannot seem to use a specification of "concat_state_name"
in the "label_column" attribute ... throws ClassCastException. Should this be possible ?
If not would the workaround would appear to use a view that is dynamically defined and insert a new map based on the view ?
2. In my inline view example, I found in the "<jdbc_query>" element that when I specifed a "render_style" that
was an advanced style with buckets it automatically selected my count expression and rendered the map correctly, which
is great, but it might be a good idea to make it explicit if 1. could be handled (or can).
3. For thematic maps it would be nice to dynamically define the buckets (<AdvancedStyle>)
within the map request as the potient for permutations of numeric ranges in any application could vary.
It looks like <styling_rules> might be able to handle this if you can use the BETWEEN operator or something
like runway_number >= 10 and runway_number < 20 as expressions. Are these valid and if so where are they specified
in the map_request ? I did not see them nested anywhere in the DTD yet the Example 2-1 in the documentation would
imply they can be specified in the map request and the tool map definition tool does not seem to support the concept of a
variable in the base table. The workaround would appear to be to dynamically add the theme using an insert.In exercising the MapViewer tool with thematics map I had a view questions on the capabilities of the component:

If not would the workaround would appear to use a view that is dynamically defined and insert a new map based on the view ? MapViewer does allow dynamic expressions in <jdbc_query>. Can you test the following simple request:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_request datasource = "mvdemo">
<themes>
<theme name="theme1" min_scale="5.0E7" max_scale="0.0">
<jdbc_query
datasource="mvdemo"
jdbc_srid="0"
spatial_column="geom"
render_style="C.RED"
label_style="T.STREET NAME"
label_column="concat_state_name"
>select geom, state , state || '-' || state_abrv concat_state_name from states where state_abrv='MA' </jdbc_query>
</theme>
</themes>
</map_request>
As long as the name specified in lable_column matches the alias you give in the select list it should work.
If not then maybe you need to use the view-based approach. It will definately work in the up-coming 9.0.4 version.

in the map_request ? Yes that may indeed be a good thing to have in a future version of mapviewer. In the mean time yes you can always use such expressions as you provided in the styling_rules (which is only for predefined themes) or in a <jdbc_theme>.

its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.
That's why he gave you the link to make the suggestion.
But returning to your proposal ... Apple does not sell any of the "wifi" connections. It would be up to providers of service to sell giftcards, and perhaps Boingo or some of other airport-commercial WiFi firms do. I can't think of any other place I've been asked to pay for WiFi.
Now Verizon and AT&T, as well as other providers in other countries, could sell Gift Cards... and again, perhaps they do, but you'll have to check with them or make the suggestions there. It's really not an Apple issue, as they don't sell or provide any connections, just the hardware to make them. -
Portal Theme for IACs iViews (ITS Theme Generator)?
Hi guys,
it's me again I got another question / issue (i didn't post it at the other thread, cause this is another issue):
We deployed the SRM BP 5.0 to the Portal EP 7.0 SP14 and now i want to change the look and feel of the SRM iViews.
I allready customized the Portal Theme via the "Theme Editor".
But the IACs iViews are staying SAP standard.
I got the hint to use the ITS Theme Generator, so I did. But now i come to the point where i am trapped:
I specified at the ITS Theme Generator the following entries:
The ITS URL : <ITS Server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/
UserID : ####
PW: ****
Service: bbpsc02
Theme: MyTheme
Then the new page opens and the transaction is displayed. At the upper side the transaction is previewed. at the lower side the images of the transaction is displayed.
AND Now here comes the big Questionmark:
How do i change e.g. the background color of this transaction or the text font? i can't find any section which would offer me this functionality!
The only thing i can "customize" are the images...what about the rest? What if i want to have my buttons grey instead of Yellow?
Or am i completely wrong? does this customization has to be done in the R/3 itself?
Any help or hint is warmly welcome and of course will be rewarded by points.
Thanks a lot ....
best wishes
StefanHi Guys,
actually we made an OSS message.
The result was that there is no standard portal way to customize the IAC themes for the BP SRM witht the tool "ITS Theme Generator".
To my knowledge the only way how to adapt the theme of these iViews is to customize them directly at the SRM back end via the transaction SE80.
Well that's the end of the story...
Greetz to all of you
and see you soon in an other question /post
Kind regards

Hello!
I have a very basic theme / csss question:
Working with Oracle XE and Apex I want to create my own theme. Therefore I tried to use
http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ThemeTips
But thereit says:
1. Copy the theme_4 images directory to theme_100
But where do I find the theme_4 images directory???
All I found was:
Shared Components -> Themes
But how can I open the css file (2nd step)??
Excuse me for beeing this stupid...
Thank you
JohannSearching the XE Threads I found out, that
http://myserver.com:8080/i/themes/theme_4/
shows me the themes 4 directory using webdav.
But how writing there?
Bye

XMLParseException during dynamic theme generation
Hi,
I4m having problems with SQL statements in some requests to MapViewer during dynamic theme generation.
When I put in the WHERE clause the operator "less than" the request fails. An XMLParseException is generated.
For example:
<jdbc_query XXXXXXX>
select geom from table where column < 10
</jdbc_query>
the following exception is generated:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Expected name instead of .
When I change de symbol < to < (like MapViewer Users Guide recommends):
<jdbc_query XXXXXXX>
select geom from table where column < 10
</jdbc_query>
the following exception is generated:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Unexpected EOF
If the is no WHERE clause (select geom from table) the request works.
What can be wrong ? Can I use the less than operator in the WHERE clause ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to apply my custom portal theme to an IAC (CLPBID).
I have been trying to use the ITS theme generator without success.
I am following the link http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/af/807f72a20d11d5b580006094b9451c/frameset.htm
The backend system in my case is SCM 7.0 (with integrated ITS) and portal version is EP 7.0 EHP1.
I have also looked at various SAP Notes including SAP Note 607843 and am not able to understand how to go forward with this.
Problem with ITS theme generator:
There are only options to change a few images. However, none of the images are being used in my IAC. There is no option
to change the background color in the ITS theme generator. I would like to change the background color of the screen, background color of table elements and header, ...
Can some one please guide me in the right direction to achieve this?
1. Can I use ITS theme generator in integrated ITS systems ?
2. How can I just change some colors in the IAC application ?
Thanks for reading ...
- JayaHi Benjamin,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have read similar comments on SDN from other people as well. I have also read a post saying that ITS theme generator is not for internal ITS purposes (which I am not sure).
Can you please suggest where exactly can I make the changes in the backend via SE80 ?
In SE80, for my Internet Service, Under Mime Objects -- Style -- I have a file called "CLPGLOBAL.CSS" which has very few options like position, height, width, margin ,. ...
Where should I be making the changes to see a custom background color in my IAC application ?
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank You .
Jaya

How to use the ITS Theme generated by ITS Theme generator of Portal
Hi,
I have generated an ITS Theme using ITS Theme generator of Portal. I exported the theme . It is a zip file containg some xml files and two zip files - Portal and ITS. When I unzip ITS.ZIP I have webgui folder under which there is ma and sa.These folders have various images.
Now how do I apply the generated theme.
Regards,
HarishHi Edgar,
Thanks for responding. Yeah I looked at that documentation earlier and these are the activities we have done so far:
1. Using ITS theme generator in portal, generated ITS theme for our custom portal theme.
2. Verified from theme export that ITS.zip contains all relevant images, stylehsteets etc for our custom theme.
3. Even after this, when we preview transaction iViews from portal to execute a transaction on ECC system those iViews pick up default SAP theme but not our custom theme.
4. After looking at the OSS notes mentioned in help documentation, we used ~webTransactionType, ~design & ~designBaseUrl parameters in iView properties but no luck. Actually these parameters get ignored - even if we put invalid host name in designBaseUrl it doesn't throw any error.
We use EP 7.0 SP 17 and ECC 7.01 Ehp4 with integrated ITS. When we generated the theme using ITS theme generator in portal, we tried with service as webgui and also sap_generate but the iViews pick up only default SAP theme. How do we point ITS webgui and transaction iViews to custom portal theme?
Thanks for your help!

ITS Theme Generator - changing appearence of IAC iviews
Opening this thread on behalf our SDN colleague David
We have developed ITS functionality to provide access to the PA40
transaction through the portal. I have set up a service in SICF for this
however I am having trouble restricting views of the navigation buttons.
Ordinarily, we would use the ITS Theme Generator for this, however is
does not seem to work with integrated ITS.
We have used the ITS Theme Generator before on EP6 with standalone ITS
and that worked fine. On Portal 7 (SP15) and ERP6 backend with integrate
d
ITS, it doesn't seem to work. The service opens up in the portal and it
seems there is no connection between the ITS service and the portal.
On Portal 6, when I move around the cursor in the edit section, the
relevant sections in the preview section highlights. But on Portal 7, it
doesn't seem to work. Is there a patch level issue or do I have to
install something else?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
DavidHi,
Try with ~webgui_simple_transaction parameter to select what service controls you want to show.
To publish properly services, use transaction SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INTERNAL before.
Best regards, Iván. -
Hi,
I created "SAP Transaction iView", which has by default blue background theme. I created a custom theme which has different colors and applied to the portal desktop. Eventhough i am getting "SAP Transaction iView" in blue color.
Could anyone please help me in how to change the ITS theme colors.
Thanks.Hi,
I assume you utilize a standard SAP transaction with webgui...!?
The webgui is not capable of using portal themes, only IACs can do that! I am searching for a work around solution at the moment..
I think SAP has to do something in that field

Hi
Can anyone tell me about the documentation for ITS theme generator.
Also can you please explain how to configure ESS and MSS
thanksHi Srilekha,
You this link to get to the portal admin guide
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a9/76bd3b57743b09e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
When you get there, in the left hand navigation expand System Administration > Portal Display > Portal Themes
choose the topic "Theme Generator for the Internet Transaction Server"
As far as configuring ESS and MSS, when you get them from the portal content catalog here in SDN there is installation and configuration documentation to download too.
Hope this helps

Can webgui Iviews use ITS Themes generated by ITS Theme generator
Hi,
Can only IAC Components such as ESS etc be modified using ITS Theme genrator. I selected sap_preview service in the ITS Theme Generator wizard, and generated the theme.If I select webgui as the service, then it does not reflect any changes. I have an ITS Page which runs on the Portal. It does not reflect any change I have done , even when I apply the theme which was generated through SAp_preview service. Is there anything I must do to get it working.
Regards,
HarishHi HARISH,
Try to publish services to refresh them, using SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INTERNAL transaction. From SICF transaction, try to preview your service.

Hi,
I am using EP 7.0, CRM Business pack 5.0 with integrated ITS 7.0. Can I customize the webgui with the help of ITS Theme generator. I could change the different .gif file with the help of it.This is very timecosuming and also wondering if I need to change the background color, how I can do it? There is no sap_preview service in ITS instance. I could see the SAP_generate service but very hard to understand what to change. Please let me know if there is any standard process to do it.
Thanks in advanceHi,
