Navigation in Visual composer

Hi,
I am very new to visual composer. i have two issues.
1. I have an RFC to execute in Visual composer, the Input form of RFC to be shown as a first view, once he click on submit, i need to navigate to another view which will show the result as an table.
I am able to execute the RFC , by showing the input form and table in the same page.but i need to navigate to the table view after submit.
I dont want to use the navigations like wizard,accordian or tab.....
2. My RFC Out put is a table and an export parameter of type Flag ('x' or ' ') , based on this export parameter i need to hide/display some of the table columns.
Regards,
Naga

Hi,
1. For the first requirement you need to have two layers in your model.
In the first layer put your input form and in the second layer put your table view. Now connect these two layer, to connect click on the fist layer you will get a small green circle on the top of that layer click on the green circle and drag till there is a connection between two layers.
Once you have connected the layers you need to select the event for that connection, this event should be the submit. i.e. when ever you press submit in input form there will be a navigation to second layer.
2. For this you need to select the cofiguration for table view, in the table view select those field you need to hide based on the flag and set a condition in the display properties to hide that particular column.
before this you need to store the value of the flag in a form which is hidden.
hope this helps,
Rk.

Navigate to another iView in Visual Composer

Sorry for the reposting
I am trying to configure navigation from one iView to another. I have going through many tutorials but to no avail.
The result of the steps below should be that the source iView is shown. When the submit button is clicked the value in the source_field should show up in the target iView.
However nothing happens when you click the submit button.
Please Help.
Here are my steps.
In Visual Composer
Create a new model.
Create a new package. (Drill into package)
Create an iView named source. (Drill into the iView)
Add an Form view: Form 1.
Add a Start connector and link it to the in port of the form.
Right click on the form and select Configure Element
Add a new Input Field: source_field
Add a new pushbutton: submit
Open the properties of the submit button
è Open Action Tab
è Select custom action
è Set custom action: TO_TARGET
è Click Close
Click and drag from out port of the form and select Signal Out
In the Select Output dialog
Select source_field
Right click the newly created Signal Out and select Configure Element
Change the name to Port
Click on the link from the form to the Signal Out icon
Change the Event Name to TO_SOURCE
You should see in the lower right panel
Input field Assigned field
source_field @source_field
Navigate back up to the package
Create a new iView named target
Drill into the iView
Add a Signal In connector. Configure the name to Port
Add an input field : source_field
Add a new Form view : Form1
Link from the Signal In to the in port of the form.
Right click on the form and select Configure Element
A field source_field will have been automatically created. Set the type of the field to Input Field.
Click and Drag from the out port of the form and choose End Point. Do not select a field for output.
Save the Model and deploy.
The result should be that the source iView is shown and when the submit button is clicked the value in the source_field should show up in the target iView.
However nothing happens when you click the submit button.
Please help?

Hi Rick,
I reconstructed your model.
First I think, you have made one mistake (perhaps you just mixed it up in your description): The event name from the form to the Signal Out icon should be "TARGET_TO" instead of "SOURCE_TO" resp. the same name that you define on the custom action tab in the properties window of the push button.
However I could not solve your problem as described, but I put the two iViews in one Page (instead of a package) and then it did well.
I Hope I could help you at least a bit.

Oliver

Cannot see created Web Service in Visual Composer Search

I am following the example of chapter 2 of the book"SAP Netweaver Composition Environment". I am trying to search for a web service that has been created, but I cannot find it.
I created a logical destination for the service, named EDMProjectDestination, using nwa->Configuration Management->Infrastructure->Destinations. This was OK, but when I try to search for it in the Visual Composer environment, it does not appear on the list after a refresh or even a system reboot.
Also, when I go back to the Web Services navigator, and try to search by Logical Destination, I am told that there are no logical destinations configured.
Can somebody please inform me what mey be missing here?
BR,
Tony.

Hi,
That did it, thanks!
This is a completely different location to that specified in the book.

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.

5.     Right-click on the folder My Folder, then choose New  Folder.
6.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks
Folder Name     Systems     This entry is required.
Folder ID     systems     This entry is required.
Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
7.     Right-click on the folder Systems, then choose New  Folder
8.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks
Folder Name     SAP R3     This entry is required.
Folder ID     sap_r3     This entry is required.
Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
9.     Choose Save.
10.     To create folders for additional systems, follow steps 8 and 9 above, using folder names and folder IDu2019s that are appropriate, such as SAP CRM, sap_crm and SAP BW, sap_bw.
Result
You have created folders to store the portal System object.

RRI in Visual Composer

Dear Colleagues,
Like Report-Report interface (RRI) in BW, wherein detailed report can be invoked from chart/graph, can similar thing is possible in Visual Composer?
Please advice.
Regards
Pankaj

Wih a workaround as below you can tailor to suite your needs ;however there are some limitations you may want to look below-
You can also combine the advantages of the VC and BEx Web runtime. For example, you can develop a VC model that renders the data in Adobe Flex and within this model you can define links to BEx Web Applications that calls the underlying query in order to analyze the data in more detail. There the data will be displayed in DHTML and you can use the BEx features to drill-down in a pivot table, for example
General Aspects - VC
In the area of Analytics you can use different tools to model reporting scenarios and analytical applications.
Deciding which tool best meets your requirements depends on several factors - features, UI technology, User
types, interaction, OLAP and/or OLTP data needed, for example. The UI tool decision tree (see Figure 3) will
support you in your choice and will help you determine which tool meets your requirements in the best way. Your
decision also depends on which criteria (e.g. features) are most important for you.
First you should think about whether you need to use the functionalities of the BI analytical engine (drill-down
navigation in reports, slice and dice analysis, and external presentation hierarchy, for example). If you dont
need those functionalities, then you should use Visual Composer, especially if you want to use query services
(Web Services and/or BAPIs) and/or if you want to embed OLAP data into operational processes. Also, use the
Visual Composer if your analytic application to be rendered with Adobe Flex. Adobe Flex is a presentation-tier
framework and server that enables the development of Rich Internet Applications. With the Adobe Flex UI you
can use interactive UI elements, for example. If you want to use just OLTP data in your reporting scenario, you
also have to use Visual Composer.
If you want to report based only on OLAP data (stored in Info Providers in a SAP BI system), you should use the
BI Suite tools. If the end users should access their reports using MS Excel, you must use the BEx Analyzer.
Beforehand you have to define a query using the Query Designer that then can be easily embedded into a BEx
Analyzer workbook. You can also do basic formatting with standard MS Excel functionality as well as integrating
BI Integrated planning functionality.
If you want to use formatted reporting and if you want to display the reports in a Web Browser, you should use
the Report Designer. With the Report Designer you are able to create formatted reports that are optimized for
presentation and printing. You can also access a number of formatting and layout functions.
If you need to deliver standardized reports, you should use the Pattern Wizard (integrated into the Web
Application Designer) to create pattern-based Web Templates. You can create Information Consumer Patterns
to ensure a standardized UI for the end users who access the Web Templates via the Enterprise Portal. If you

Creating web service system for Visual Composer

Hello,
I seem to have made some changes that made my unable to create web service systems for Visual Composer.
The change I made is in NetWeaver Administration > Configuration > Application Resources > WebServicesFactory, I added the Configuration Property "UseCacheByDefault" with Boolean value = true.
After this, if I create a web service system in Enterprise Portal, the Connection Tests fail. In Visual Composer when I define a web service system, the error I am getting is: "Connector Factory not found for value WebServicesFactory".
I have tried to delete the UseCacheByDefault property I added as well as restart the server but I am still getting the error.
However when I test my web service using the Web Services Navigator, I am not getting any problems. So my guess is the problem lies with the connection factory.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks.

Hello,
Since creating WS system in the portal resulted with failed connection test, the issue has nothing to do with VC.
I'm just guessing, but try to configure proxy in the J2EE engine.
If that doesn't help I suggest you raise this question in the portal forum.
Best regards,
Shay

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

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Hi,
you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.

Hi,
Try to use some function module which will convert query data into flat tables. (eg., RS_VC_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA_FLAT).
Hope this solves your issue.

Hi Kang Min Shim ,
In order to search for BI destinations in VC you must have the BI Kit for VC installed on your machine.
If you have that BI Kit installed you need to [define a BI destination|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/c21540edc547f5e10000000a114a6b/content.htm].
