Hello,
We now understand that we have to create the model and it's development component first in the local repository. When the model is complete and tested, we can add it, along with the development component, to either source control or shared repository, depending on the configuration.
We will proceed, as described in SAP's documentaion https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-104577.
Best regards,

Visual Composer Eventing in MSS

Using MSS (erp2005) on EP7.0
Have created my new Visual Composer iView and wish to link it for use within MSS (Manager Self Service) so that when an Employee is selected via Employee Search (via Eventing) how do I create that link?
Thanks

Hi
I'm trying to do the same, to connect an iView created with the VC in combination with eventing of the MSS iView Employee search.
To make this work you need portal eventing. Before SP 12 of software component SAP_MSS in the portal, this didn't work. I believe there was a low level of eventing within the floor plan managers framework.
Now it should work see note: 1112733
Problem I face now is that I don't know the exact parameter name which is needed to receive the string from which you can translate the personell number.
Kind regards,
Susan

New Features @ Visual Composer 7.01: Blog Series

Hi Modelers,
We just released a new blog series about the new features on the Enhancement Package 1 for NW Visual Composer.
To follow up the series go to:
New Features @ Visual Composer 7.01: Blog Series
Kind Regards,
Luis

Hi,
first of all thank you for your effort to provide this feature in 7.00.
We are running 7.00 SP22 on Unix (Sun Solaris). I was able to deploy the zip-files of the Xcelsius example components using flash component manager and use the controls in the storyboard, but when running the application nothing happens (e.g. passed value to the input port of the gauge control, but component is always showing 50%).
Is in 7.00 SP22 also an issue concerning Unix platforms as in 7.01, where flash components + SP5 only work on windows platform?
Regards
Klaus

New Version of Visual Composer

hi to all
Please provide me new version of visual composer.
i know it is in Sneak preview 2004s but nt able to locate there.
Please tell exact procedure to locate it.
thanx in advance
Regards
Nidhideep

Hi Nidhideep,
The sneak preview has already got VC7.0 bundled in it. After successful installation of sneak preview on your system you will be able to access VC as follows
http://<your host>:50100/VC --> this will take you to the login page of VC
Before that you need to make sure the user who is accessing VC should have been assigned a role called 'VCRole' which you have to do it in the portal under User Administration-->Identity Management
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Exception handling in CE Visual Composer 7.1

Hi,
I have modeled a CAF Business Object and a custom Find operation which looks for a custom key. After that, I have exposed that operation as Web service and consumed it in Visual Composer. It is working perfectly as long as the search key exists in the Business Object backend table. When an arbitrart search term e.g. 1234 which does not exist is given, an error message is displayed and the program logic is halted.
Error occured while executing the service: Error in connection: Could not execute Web service, consult your administrator
My requirement is that, is it possible for me to display a custom message such as "The ID does not exist. Please enter a valid ID".
Besides, is it possbile to bypass this service call if it is not working? In my scenario, this service is actually used to search for any existing data for a selected Customer. If there is no data, the user can proceed with a new definition. So, the above mentioned exception blocks the program flow and the user is not able to continue.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
Regards,
Joon Meng

I am not aware exception handling features of VC but instead of raising SOAP Fault you can also transfer log message which is user friendly to display.
Another thing, instead of throwing exeption handle it inside try block so that program do not halt abruptly but gracefully. It is always possible to bypass existing service call like you said if output of service is not input of another.
In other word do not map output directly but on the "Next" event of button which enable you to goto next screen to work.

Building a BI based dashboard in Visual Composer

Dear,
We are using the Visual Composer to build a KPI dashboard based on BW KPI's from multiple queries (NO SEM in the background !)
What we need is to place the keyfigures in the rows and the keyfigure value in the colums. In the colums we further also need an arrow that indicates the trend based on the keyfigure value (ascending, descending,...)
this is how it should look
===================
Keyfigure        Value            Trend
Gross Sales    100             Down
Net Sales        80              Up
Costs             20               Up
(*) The trend is based on a calculated keyfigure that compares this month's values with previous month's values.
In Visual Composer I'm trying to fit this in a table. After playing around I found that I need to place my keyfigures (column A) in a structure in the Rows in the BW query. Afterwards I can use the "characteristic" Key Figures and place it in my column in the VC table together with the value and the trend.
However, now my real problem occurs. I want to link trend with an image but the image should not be based on a condition linked with the main keyfigure from my row A but on another calculated keyfigure that I do not want to show in my rows at all. I'm affraid this is not possible since I don't see an option.
If anyone has an idea, please share. This kind of VC cockpit apps you see quite often on slides and Xapp presentations but I'm affraid they were all created with SEM cockpits in the background so I hope to be proven wrong.
thx

Id'try the following:
a) your trend-field is in your query, but unselected in the field list
b) build a formula on this unselected field which selects the image (from the Image Manager)
More on modeling can be found in the Visual Composer WIKI:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC
and many postings in the Visual Composer (where it might make sense to ask such questions in the future), where I also moved this question.

Visual Composer 7.0 Setup/Configuration (with NW2004s SP7)

Hi all,
I've installed a NW2004s Portal with SP7. From my understanding, the SCA-files for VC are included in the installation/Support Package (I saw several VC*** files in SDM).
But I can't start/access Visual Composer in my browser.
I tried a URL like that: http://myserver.domain.com/vcserver
I got an error from WebAS: "The requested resource does not exist." (Errorpage 404) Besides that I added two roles roles in portal to my user: GUIMRole and VCRole.
So my questions are:
- Do I have to install something else, like with VC 6.0 on the server, to use the VC? And if, where can I get it?
(Note: I had installed the old release on that server before, so I already have MS SQL Server and MS XML Parser and the Adobe Software.)
- Does anybody know which installationsteps/configurationsteps I'm missing?
- Are there any installationguides available for release 7.0, cause I couldn't find some in servicemarketplace and SAP-Help?
(I saw the post from Siddharth J Bhatt "Visual Composer 7.0 installation" but unfortunatelly that didn't help me.)
Thank you in advance for any tips / hints.
Kind regards,
Annike

Installing VC 7.0
*I myself have only done a dry run for this*
The user would need to download all of those files. Make sure to download all the files available..So, every version for each file. The reason JSPM will only install the most current version, and the user doesn't have to worry about matching files with versions etc etc.
1. Download all the files.
2. Place them in the EPS inbox.
3. Log into JSPM using SDM password.
4. Select New Deployment or Business Package.
5. The other options will not work, i.e. the files will not show up in the next window.
6. Makesure that the version is the most latest/current.
7. Proceed with install.
This is essentially a cheat sheet for installing those components..makesure that you install all of them at the same time.
Also, make sure that your Support Pack level is the most recent (SP 7 should work)
Hopefully this works.

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,
Tommaso

Hi Nidhi,
Thank you for your reply.
I installed both and know it's working. BUT only with IE. Firefox gives:
<HTML xmlns:stb="urn:guimachine-com:storyboard" xmlns:gml="urn:guimachine-com:gml">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Loading Visual Composer... </TITLE>

<STB:STORYBOARD style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%" />
</BODY>
</HTML>
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?
Regards,
Tommaso

Wat is visual composer?

hi
i m new to visual composer can any one give me a gist of it? Thanks.
[email protected]
regards
vln

Hi,
Visual composer is a visual modeling tool where u can create applications raplidly without writing any code.Evrything can be done by dragging and dropping appropriate objects and asscoiating them.
The code will be generated by the visual composer itself.
Visual composer is mainly targeted on business experts who know what the applications should do, but have little idea about coding.
One important thing to note is that visual composer still cant be used to develop a full blown comprehensive application.In this stage it can be used for prototyping and for small applications..
And in some areas we have to still rely on coding..
