Loading Visual Composer....

Hi
I am trying to open Visual Composer in browser, after proper authentication, the browser stuck up at "Loading Visual Composer....", however nothing shows up...it is absolutely blank screen with empty two frames.
Just to give you little background, I have installed it with NW2004s. And also I have added my local domain in trusted zones in IE, however as I have firefox as my default browser, http://localhost:50100/VC/default.jsp always open up in firefox browser, so I don't know if the adding local domain to IE trusted zone would help in firefox.
I will really appreciate any help on this.
And thanking all of you in advance

Thanks,
I tried to make my internet explorer as default (after going to Tool->Internet Option->Prog-->Set the Internet Explorer as default.
However, inspite of that still VC would open in Firefox. Even if I copy and paste the URL for VC in IE, the system would open new windows in Firefox and IE will be just empty.....
I uninstalled the Firefox, and now when I run in IE, the message I get that Application is not found......!!
Another input is that when I installed NW2004s, IE7 and Firefox were already installed. However after NW2004s, installation I uninstall IE 7 (because of some issue in E. Portal) and now I uninstalled Firefox, and I am getting the message "Application Not Found" .......Does it mean that NW2004s keeps references to different type browsers at the time of it's installation. And incase you change the browsers (the way I did), I might have to set/reset/refresh the entries either in config or in Visual Administration.
Any tip/feedback will be highly appreciated.
PS: I re-started the J2EE engine,after I uninstalled browser.

Visual Composer - Empty View

Hi,
I created a new User in UME with the role VisualComposerUser.
Then I started http://127.0.0.1:57100/VC/default.jsp but I get only an empty view.
Any hint is welcome.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Nidhi,
Thank you for your reply.
I installed both and know it's working. BUT only with IE. Firefox gives:

I also read that Mozilla should have a native SVG implementation. And I also erroneously thought that MSXML with vers. R2 should already be installed.
It would be interesting to know if both installation were necessary.
I'm surprised that SAP VC depends on a software for which Adobe will discontinue support.
Any idea?

Loading... Visual Composer Startup Problem

Hi, When starting VC on my desktop machine I was receiving nothing but a blank screen. I followed all of the instructions for Flash, xml parser, etc to no avail. I could get it to work on the laptop though through a wireless connection. So my thinking was that there was some funny software on my desktop machine causing this.
Then, I was relocated along with my desktop to a different location in the same building. Then all of a sudden Visual Composer worked on my desktop!
Just thought I'd mention that there is something network related as well that can cause VC to present the famous "Loading..." blank screen other than flash or xml parser issues.
Good Luck.

Hi Thanks, Yes our domain name is in the trusted zone in your IE settings. Like I mentioned earlier that I just moved locations in the same building and all of a sudden it started working. So having VC not working was a network related problem. I'd have to spend time to find out from the network specialists what the difference in locations is...
Thanks again!

Error while making iview with visual composer

I am trying to make an iview usign visual composer.
In the document that i have for making the iview , it says that when you have the bapi list you need to drag and drop the bapi to the empty iview pane . When i do so it gives me the following error ...
"Portal request failed
(com/sap/mdi/ObjectFactory)"
What do i do ?
Would appreciate a prompt help!
thanks again for making me move ahead
I had a conversation with a parson on the forum named Venkat . I am posting the same for other people in the forum to understand what exactly is my problem and how much have we explored .
Regards
Deepak Singh
Hi Venkat ,
I tried to do so research on the problem and it is being talked about in a thread on the forum . They ask to refer to the sap note 765461 to resolve the mdi reference . In the note they ask you to refer the installation guide of the installed version of EP . I have EP 6.0 SP2 . The installation guide says the following ...
7.1.2 Adding References
To enable some of the features in the portal environment, add references to reference file.
To add a reference:
1. With a text editor, open the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers\reference.txt
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers/reference.txt
2. Look for the line:
reference service:eisconnector library:jco
3. After the line mentioned in previous step, add the following in a new line:
reference service:eisconnector library:com.sap.mdi
4. Save your changes and close the file.
5. Delete the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers.bin
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers.bin
6. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine. See Starting the SAP J2EE Engine [Page 60].
7. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine again.
I did the same ....but now my server is not starting . By chance i didn't keep a bakup of the file which they asked me to delete .
Now what do i do ?
I think i am stuck up badly here .
EVERYBODY IN THE FORUM PLEASE HELP
I am not sure how a thing that is mentioned in the installation guide cannot work !
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
It is not that bad. By deleting you are recreating that managers.bin file during startup based on the reference.txt and library.txt (recollecting from my memory). This could also happen if there is a typo or some special characters in the reference.txt
I don't know what J2EE patch you are at, but after PL22 you can actually add the reference using the "add reference" command from the administrator console.
could you please send the error you are getting? To revert back the simplest thing is removing the line you have added and restart.
Hope this helps.
-Venkat Malempati
Note: Please reward points if your problem is solved or useful.
Venkat ,
I am using J2EE engine 6.20 SP2 .I tried to get the server started by the following two methods
1) I removed my entry in the reference.txt file and then start the engine by running go.bat from the required path .
2) I got the original file managers.bin which i deleted and then placed in the required path and restarted the server
Both the options didn't work .
I am not getting any error when i restart the server. When i run the batch file go.bat it starts the console and shows me the various managers loading . After it shows the Clustermanager loading , it stops and gets stuck .
Not sure what should i do now .Is reinstallation the only solution ?
Is there a solution from the administrator console ?
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
No you don't need to re-install. Try the following.
1. First start the state controller by runing go.bat in the following directory.
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/state/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager.
2. start the server in a different window
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/server/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager
3. Start the dispatcher
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/dispatcher/go.bat
Please let me the know the error messages.
You can chat with me between 10:00 - 11:00 PM US EST.
Regards
-Venkat Malempati

People ,
I tried to do what venkat suggested . Infact I had mailed him the snapshot of the screen when i start the state controller as he suggested . For other people in the forum this is what is happening . When i start the state controller it displays an error and then the window closes immediately . I have managed the screen shots somehow and in those i could find two messeges in the begining and the end which could be useful for debugging the problem ...they are
1) [DBMS]: ID3004:DB file header do not match exception .
com.inqmy.services.dbms.server.interfaces.DatabaseException: Error while opening database ...
2) ID000544: Error statrting service dbms. DBMS service not started properly due to: Errro while opening database
[Framework -> criticalShutdown] Service dbms startup error !
After the state controller window closes i run the server in a different window and i get a message waiting for the cluster manager as suggested . Now i start the dispatcher and i get the same messege there as well ie waiting for the cluster manager .
What is to be done now . Is this information sufficient to suggest me something ? Please let me know if you require any other information .
Regards

Hi,
There is loads of stuff out there on visual composer. Have a look at this link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/VisualComposer7.0
VC is supposed to allow employees with limited technical skills created web based applications which can then be used in the portal. You do need some technical knowledge but it is more easier than developing code.

3.3 Connectivity and Interoperability
This section briefly describes:
The means of connecting Visual Composer Storyboard to the required back-end systems
The technology environments to which models composed in Storyboard can be deployed
Connectivity with Back-End Systems
Visual Composer provides tools that let you connect via the portal to back-end applications defined in the portal system landscape. This connection enables you to import into your model the relevant function modules on which you want to base your iViews. The imported function modules are referred to as data services.
Normally, you can connect to any installation of a back-end application to import a data service, and then deploy the content to any portal that enables access to an instance of the same back-end application. However, if the customer installation of the back-end application includes customized function modules, you will need to import the data services in the customer environment, in order to retrieve the customized functions.
Most connections to back-end systems are accomplished using the SAP and JDBC connectors deployed automatically as part of the connector framework installed with the portal. The SAP connector provides access to R/3 and BW systems, while the JDBC connector provides access to a wide range of databases, including Microsoft SQL, Oracle, DB2 and others.
BI connectors, installed separately in the portal, can be used to access a range of different data, including multidimensional cubes, relational tables and queries. Connectivity is based on defining a system in the portal landscape. You may define systems for the following connections:
BI XMLA
BI ODBO
BI JDBC
BI SAP Query
In addition, you can configure the BW system, installed automatically with the SAP connector, for accessing predefined queries.
The following table describes the systems from which Visual Composer can import data, and the connectors that are required. The Connector (second column) indicates the name of the connector used to install the system in the portal.

Visual Composer is not running on Win 2003 Server

Hi,
after installing Visual Composer on a Win 2003 Server (with applying OSS note 804496).
The analyzer from note 772559 do not notice errors.
But I get a HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden: Access es denied --> You are not authorized to view this page.
It is a Test system and I have allowed all I can, but it is not working.
Does somebody have an idea why I got this error message? Do I have to configure something that is not described in the Installation Guide?

Hi Ignacio,
I did not change the file. I use the same on a Win2000 Server and it's working there.
By the way, the URL http://ep-tst/vcserver/~server.ini is working, so it could not be a permission problem, could it?
The default.htm is the default page in the VCServer directory..."http://ep-tst/VCServer/default.htm" is not working, too.
And the title shows "Loading... - Microsoft IE".
Do you have an other idea?
Thanks&Regards,
Mathias

Connectivity: Installation Guide
1     Preparation
1.1     Purpose
This installation guide provides the information you need to set up the connectivity for the SAP Best Practices for SAP Enterprise Portal system landscape, including connections to the backend SAP R/3, SAP BW, and SAP CRM systems.
1.2     Prerequisites
SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 and backend systems must be installed and configured.
If you plan to use the WebGUI, ESS or MSS, you must install ITS in your SAP R/3 landscape.
If you plan to launch the SAP R/3 Windows GUI from the Enterprise Portal, the latest release of SAP WinGUI (6.2 patch 37 or above) must be installed on each client machine.
2     Installation
2.1     Preliminary steps
Use
For each system you connect the portal to, you must create an entry for the system which stores all the relevant system connectivity information such as System ID, Server, Port, etc. Before creating portal entries for all your target systems, you should first create a folder to store these in so that you can find them easily later.
This task creates the folder structure on the Portal to store the system settings for SAP R/3, and can be used to create additional folders for SAP BW and mySAP CRM..
Prerequisites
Log on to the Portal as the Administrator.
Procedure
You must first create the portal content folder, Systems, to store the systems.
1.     Navigate to the Portal Content Directory
SAP Enterprise Portal     Content Administration  Portal Content
2.     Create a folder named My Folder according to building block N04: General Settings.
3.     Right-click the Portal Content folder and choose New Folder.
4.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks

Error when testing a Guided Procedure that use a Visual Composer UI

Hello!
Trying to develop my first Guided Procedure in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3.
I follow instructions that I earlier have used with CE 7.1 SP1 (in TechEd07), assuming no major changes from SP1 to SR3...
I have defined a Callable Object that is based on a Visual Composer UI.
The Visual Composer UI itself works fine when I test it in Visual Composer but when I try to test the Callable Object I get the following error message:
"Could not load execution container: Did not find active instance for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.wd4vc.exec.COExecWD4VC in running application."
When I click on the error message I get a lot of details of the underlying Java exception:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find view element with ID 9NEfbfuapOdP8O4KnmM19Q in application com.sap.caf.eu.gp.dt.workset.AppWorkset with namespace null"
(skipped all details...)
Have I missed some step (development or configuration) that is new in CE 7.1 SR3 compared to CE 7.1 SP1?
I have tried to read through the available on-line help but can't find anything that seems to differ...
Are there any examples/tutorials available for CE 7.1 SP3?
Thanks for your help,
Magnus.

Hello Dipankar!
Thanks for trying to help me out!
I'm unfortunately having problem with finding the choice "Add Guided Procedure Information" in the options menu in VC.
I have looked in the menu "Tools --> Options" but failed to find this choice.
Is this choice maybe changed in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3?
Regarding running the VC component as a stand-alone application I can launch the component from VC after deployment and it works fine both as HTML and Flex (I really like the Flex - version :-)!
But if you mean something else with running it stand alone please direct me to some doc-url so I can learn how to do that!
Best Regards,
Magnus.

Visual Composer no longer accessible

I have been using VC, but today when I tried to start it up I got the following error:
404 Not Found SAP NetWeaver Application Server 7.10 / AS Java 7.10
The requested resource /VC/default.jsp is not available
Details: File [VC/default.jsp] not found in application root of alias [/] of Java EE application [sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples].
I used the correct URL (I have used it before), so I can only surmise that something has gone wrong. I cannot seem to find a similar thread, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TB

My mistake: the correct URL includes freestyle.jsp. However, that does not appear to be my problem.
I have a duplicate Virtual Machine which fires up very nicely. I am able to access Visual Composer and other CAF capabilites both inside and outside Developer Studio.
In my problem VM, however, I cannot access CAF elements. They are absent from the DS menus and I cannot get the /VC/ or /irj/sites to load. I am sure that a reload of everything would probably fix it, but I would like to know why this happened to avoid it in the future.
Thanks,
TB

Refesh data on visual composer

Good day everybody,
i am busy with the design and coding the solution for the visual composer, but my challenge now is to find out how to clear or refresh data on visual composer. what i have done is that i created one big structure that will display different output data based on the selection screen. e.g if i have selected employees who exceeded overtime hours then it displays data accordingly and if select employees per cost centre it must display data accordingly but what is happening is that data overwrite the other.My function module works perfectly from where i get data from. On the visual composer what i have done is for each field i have a condition based on the output e.g.(if output = 1) BOOL(IF(#ID[ACA6OX]@OUTPUT == '1', true, false)) if (output = 2) BOOL(IF(#ID[ACA6OX]@OUTPUT == '2', true, false)) and (if output = 3) BOOL(IF(#ID[ACA6OX]@OUTPUT == '3' OR TRIM(#ID[ACA6OX]@OUTPUT)== '', false, true)). But is still overwrites can anyone help me in this regard as to how can i clear the visual compser.
Thanks in advance,
Themba.

Dear colleagues,
I need to build the functionality to do a File upload on Visual Composer. The user should be able to select a file from his local PC and upload it into a table or DSO.
I have created a function module that uses the function 'GUI_UPLOAD' to do the upload. If I execute the FM from transaction SE37 it works fine, selects the file and loads the data into the table. However, if I embed that FM into Visual Composer it does not work anymore.
Is it because it uses GUI technology that cannot be called from java environment of VC?
Yes, the GUI_UPLOAD relies on the "SAP Gui connection" which is not possible in a Web environnement like the Visual Composer.
In languages such as Web Dynpro (Java or ABAP) or BSP, you can upload file to the server.
You might have to "mix" technologies to provide upload and still keep using VC.

I think this upload functionality is about to be released with Ehp1

How to read a text file from Visual Composer

Hi VC Experts,
Please suggest me how can we read a textfile from the local machine and pull the data from Visual Composer.
Regards
Kiran

Hy kiran, is not possible to read data from flat file and put it in visual composer but you can :
1) load this file in BI by ETL, for example on DSO object and then you can create a bex query to retrive the data
2) if you want display the content of this file , you can use KM.

Andrea
