Mobile Portal and Design Studio

Is it correct to assume that a Design Studio application could be presented on a mobile device using only the Mobile EP and the BW, without the need for the BO BI 4 platform?

Portal is a broader term which is a container of all the assets and pages and is a web portal.
Sitestudio is a tool provided by WC Content which is used to create Content Presenter Templates. These templates consists of region and element definitions which are used as a template to have data in them.
Thanks

Installing BO Explorer and Design Studio

Hello Experts,
I installed BI 4.1 SP2 Client tools on my laptop: BI 4.1 SP2, Crystal reports 2013, Dashboards SP2 and SAP Lumira and all are successfully installed.
I am trying to install BO Explorer but asking me CMS port number and Administrator Password, just want to confirm if the BO Explorer needs to be installed on BO Server? since we want the tool to be used by our super users to develop and i assume it can be installed on developer laptops.
Also, I am trying to install Design Studio 1.2( downloaded all 4 parts) after running the file for design studio 1.2_1 its looking for design studio 1.3 instead of design studio 1.2_2, could you please confirm design studio installation also if it goes as part of client tools?
Thanks for the help.
Kris

Hi Kris,
You will be able to access Explorer with URL http://<server name>:8080/explorer The Explorer web app will be deployed on Tomcat post install.
The Design Studio 1.3 is also available to download and I think it has a separate server and client installer. It could be a case that Design Studio 1.3 is compatible with BI 4.1. So I would suggest to try installing Design Studio 1.3

Design Studio 1.3 - Concern

Hello Community,
With the release of Design studio 1.3 - the client expectation has gone up. There are few question that need to be addressed.
How feasible is Design Studio 1.3 over SAP Dashboard designer in adopting and in implementation ?
If the client is having only BW with them without any BI/BOBJ landscape in picture, can design studio 1.3 be a wiser choice over Dashboard designer? If Yes then why ?
In BW landscape what need to be done to get mobile access of design studio dashboard ?
Does Design studio support Data caching for offline report access and for faster report access - considering back-end as BW not running on SAP HANA ?
How complex is the coding with respect to custom development ?
Awaiting detailed answers.
Regards
Kumar

Kumar:
How feasible is Design Studio 1.3 over SAP Dashboard designer in adopting and in implementation ?
It depends on your requirements and needs. SAP has said many times this year if your data source is BW, HANA or a universe that Design Studio supports, start with Design Studio. Otherwise, per SAP, you have an automatic migration project.
Q: "If the client is having only BW with them without any BI/BOBJ landscape in picture, can design studio 1.3 be a wiser choice over Dashboard designer? If Yes then why ?"
A: How would they use Dashboard Designer in BW only? Where would they deploy? Not following.
See previous answer re: automatic migration project if you start with dashboarding on BW.
Q: In BW landscape what need to be done to get mobile access of design studio dashboard ?
A: BW only? Question came up at ASUG Annual Conference. In the SAP Enterprise portal there is a Design Studio iview and a portal mobility pack
Q: Does Design studio support Data caching for offline report access and for faster report access - considering back-end as BW not running on SAP HANA ?
A: It does not support offline today.
Q: How complex is coding?
A: I am not a coding expert, but I am able to apply SDK components. We heard customers at conference say they deploy without coding too. If you know JavaScript, you will be comfortable with Design Studio is what I have heard.

Abap users autorization for BO BI reports (made in Design Studio) on HANA data

Hello!
We are bit new to BO BI and Design Studio. Cauld you help us?
BO BI reports must represent SAP HANA data.
We have a lot of users in ERP with their roles.
We need accordingly restrict users access to certain values for group of users in given Data Source based on HANA Analytic or Calculation View.
For example, report must display only “A” Plant data for first group of users, for second group – only “B” Plant data.
Where should we mantain users (and give them roles) and what authorization use?
The best way for mantaining users is CUA on ERP for us.
BO BI supports SAP authorization and role mapping with it's own user groups with no probler.
But what about HANA? We didn't find any positive information about roles mapping and authorization in HANA.
It looks like we need to create all users and give them roles in HANA... Is it really so? How to synchronize HANA users and their authorization with ERP after this...
Thank you!

Hi - this is a question that is better for the HANA space. Do you want me to move it there?

Conversion to Design Studio templates

Hi experts,
We are in the pre-study phase for the conversion of all 3.x BEx web templates (serveral hundreds of them) to either 7.x or BO e.g. Design Studio. Right now we are a bit concern regarding the gaps between 3.x and Design Studio at the moment, especially the RRI, bookmarking, personalization, broadcasting and so on. The question are:
If we choose to convert the 3.x templates to Design studio now, do we need to redo all the Design Studio templates again when these features are available at a later time? Or can the upcoming features be easily incorporated in the existing templates, for example, just mark the context menu options for RRI or personalization etc, just like the WAD does for all the underlying BEx queries?
Design Studio can access data from universe, from HANA and BEx query. Is it possible (maybe in the near future) to be able to change data source on which the query is based on just like the feature in WEBI? If so, the Design Studio templates are reusable, that is, no need to recreate templates again in the future in case there will be some major underlying data flows rebuilds from BW to HANA.
Thanks.

Zabrina:
I don't think we have enough details from SAP yet to answer your conversion questions
Per the latest roadmap this is not in the next release:

Design Studio 1.3 BIP Question

Hi All,
I have installed Design installed 1.3 ,and I have a question.
We have 4 components while installing Design studio: .
1. DS1.3 BIP Add on
2. DS Client
3. DS HANA Add On
4. DS BW add on
So if I want to design applications on BW do I need to install , BW Add on on BW server? or If I have just the BIP add on and design studio client installed, can I create applications on BW?
Whats the purpose of Hana and BW add ons?
Regards,
RVS

Thank you for the reply Tammy.
So , If I understand correctly, if we need to deploy application on HANA or BW , then we need thse add ons to be installed.
My Scenario: I have BIP add on and Design stuio installed, so to create apps which will use HANA or BW as data source, I do not need to install HANA and BW addons, but If I want to deploy them to the HANA or BW server , then I will need them.
Am I correct?
Regards,
RVS

Design Studio 1.4 SDK samples

I have issues with using the DS_14_SDK_SAMPLES.
1. my laptop is on windows 7 32 bits. Following the instructions I successfully installed the DS_14_SDK_Samples. When I open the Eclipse and launch SDK, my Design Studio will open and the samples are shown. However, the other SDK I installed, such as the Utilities pack, Karol's components, etc.
On the other hand, if I launch the Design Studio directly, I can see all the other SDKs but not the custom components from DS_14_SDK_samples. Does anyone have similar experience or know how to fix it?
2.
I have a separate issue on another PC: It is Windows 7 64 bit, so I installed Eclipse 32 bit and Design Studio 64 bit. The JAVA jre is 1.8. The Design Studio use 1.4 SDK, Utilities pack, Karol's components with no issue. However, when I installed the DS_14_SDK_samples, Eclipse failed to launch the Design Studio although I believe I did the same thing as I did on the laptop mentioned above?

Hi there,
From My Experience you batter use older version of Eclipse - Helios:
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers | Packages

How to enable Comment functionality in Design Studio

Hi Experts,
How can we enable comment functionality in Design studio? This is important for users:
a) To enter comments in the application
b) To see the comments after reopening the application again. This means, it needs to be stored somewhere.
This application is built on top of a BEx Query.
Really appreciate your help here!!
Thanks,
Jomy

Hi Jomy - I see your point
Looking at Figure 7 here Lumira and Design Studio Updates Roadmap from ASUG Annual Conference - Part 2 it is not going to be built in Design Studio
So my opinion only here - either you buy CubeServ add-on or you build SDK yourself. As an accountant I would do cost-benefit - how long (cost) would it take for someone other than CubeServ to do it versus buying from CubeServ.
Maybe others have ideas?

Problems with changings within Design Studio Report published on BI Mobile App

Hello BI Mobile Experts,
At the moment we are setting up a prototyp for BI Mobile reporting with SAP Business Objects Mobile and the BI Mobile App.
We created a report with Design Studio and published this report without problems within the Mobile Category. This Report was displayed correctly on iPads we are working with.
This week we made some changings within the report (new Crosstab, changings within css file). Unfortunatelly this changings were not displayed within the Mobile App. When we run the report local on the desktop within Design Studio everything works fine and is displayed correctly. It seems like the iPad is caching the report and doesn't get the new definitions, because after uninstalling the complete app from the iPad and installing it again, the report is displayed correctly.
Does anybody of you have same issues and is knowing how to solve that?
Thank you and best regards,
Gerardo

Hi Emre
I recall when I installed DS on our BI 4.1 SP2 system, the Analysis Application Service is not added to the Adaptive Processing Server (APS) automatically, I had to manually include the service into the APS for it to work correctly.
To make the dashboards visible to the BI Mobile applications, you must assign the category "Mobile" to the dashboards.

Design Studio working for ipad,iphone, and desktop

Hello All,
I'm new to the SAP design studio world. My first task that has been assigned to me is to see what is the capability of Design Studio to have a singular file and have the CSS be reflective of Iphone,Ipad and Desktop.
1) Is this even possible? There is very limited document out there discussing in depth about design studio
2) If possible what has to be done to be able to get something like this to work?
3) I guess if all is good how maintainable is something like this.
I understand design studio is still pretty new and a lot of people are still using Dashboard Design, but any insight on this would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Scottie

Hi Scottie,
in addition to the valid information from Tammy, you cna refer to the PAM for supported devices. in Mobile area thesupported way is to use SAP BI Mobile as entry point.
to your question, you can create the application once and then open on desktop or iPad. I would be carefully with iPhone, as this is small device and not all components are supported (see documentation).
Also, it is today a bit tricky to change the CSS based on the device - there will be a better way in 1.4 release as there it will be possible to get the client header sring in BIAL scripts. and by that you can assign different CSS classes to the components.
welcome to Design Studio!
Regards, Karol

Design Studio - Dashboards/webi Mobile compatibilty

Dear friends,
I have got a requirement of deploying few webi reports and Dashboards in mobile devices which could be of IOS/Android/Windows. I got to know about design studio where in we can develop the dashboards and reports and deploy it to any mobile devices(Tablets/Phones). Can you please let me know about the feasibilty of this design studio in accordance with my requirement.
Ver - BO 4.1
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi GK,
Creating the dashboard which is mobile compatible is very much possible without using design studio. But if your looking for the futuristic then the answer is may be. SAP says that "Design Studio is the future of dashboarding for SAP". Please find the below links to get some fair idea on this.

Design Studio - Mobile devices compatibilty

Hi Friends,
I need to deploy WEBIreports and Dashboards in mobile devices of different OS like IOS/Android/Windows. How far is it possible to fulfull this requirement through design studio. BO Ver - 4.1

I am not sure why you want to use Design Studio to deploy Web Intelligence/Dashboards through Mobile
You could use SAP BusinessObjects Mobile to deploy Web Intelligence/Dashboards through iOS/Androids

Design Studio and DSL Bridge for BW (Sizing)

Hi,
I'm doing a sizing exercise on a system where we are only going to use Design Studio, Analysis for Office and their mobile counterpart.
Now, the "Resource Usage Estimator" does not provide options for these two tools, and as far as I can read they don't have that much usage on the server side.
My question is then - does Design Studio use the DSL bridge to connect to BW? Or is it like Analysis, where it connects directly and only gets the login and partial metadata from the SBOP Platform?
And is there any special elements I need to take into account when sizing this machine other then whats written in the sizing guides?
Best regards,
Kris

Thanks Tammy, this solved some of my questions.
I am still uncertain as to how I can estimate the system usage, when the users only use Design Studio and Analysis, which I cannot add into the sizing estimator.
Looking at the sizing guides for DS, Analysis and mobile, I still need to estimate the basic platform.
Do you know where I can find help with that?
Best regards,
Kris

Design Studio 1.3 applications shows only white screen on Mobile BI App (iPad)

Hello Design Studio friends,
after upgrading or BI platform (4.1) Design Studio Add-On from version 1.2 to 1.3 we could no errors, everything works fine. But now we have the issue, that all of our Design Studio Applications do not work on iPad.
All mobile Applications are listed correctly in the overview in the Mobile BI App. But after starting one application the loading screen is running and after loading only a white screen is displayed. No data, no components, no variables screen etc.
Do you have any idea about the reason of our problem?
Here some additonal information, what we have done:
After upgrade we restartet the BIP and checked that all services are running.
We saved new Design Studio 1.3 Applications on BIP.
We run the Design Studio Applications local (everything works) over BIP on Desktop clients (everything workds), via Mobile BI App (iPad iOS7, newest iOS Version and newest App version) (only white screens are shown).
We deleted all metadata on iPad and reconnected to our BIP.
Our DataSources, integrated in the Design Studio 1.3 applications, are based on SAP BW Queries of a BW 7.4 system.
Many thanks for help and your support.
Kind regards
Patrick

Hi Tammy,
I deleted the mobile BI App from my iPad and installed it again (newest version).
No changes, after loading the Design Studio Application only a white screen is shown.
I cannot find a relevant Part in the App protocol (Debug Mode).

Design Studio 1.3 applications, scroll not working Mobile BI App (iPhone)

Hi,
We just upgraded from design studio 1.2. to 1.3
We have a mobile application published to iPhone in which some of the data is shown only when you scroll down.
After the upgrade the scroll down is not working.
Did any of you have the same issue? Did you find any solution?
Kind Regards

Hello Alon,
Did you also download and install the hotfix for Design Studio that SAP released on July 4th? See http://scn.sap.com/message/15191508#15191508
