SAP PLM Web UI: Document functionality working very slow or timing out

Dear Experts,
In the SAP PLM Web UI, when we open any existing document or try to create a new document system continues to process with out any error for long time before getting timed out.
Even Descriptions tab or any other tab and attached originals do not open.
Is this got something to do with the whitelist? I havent generated any whitelists so far for this system.
We are on ECC 6.0 EHP 6 and PLMWUI SAPK-70206INPLMWUI.
Thanks and regards,
Shashikumar BS

Hi Shashikumar,
it is quite hard to find out the reason for anybody without system access... I think the best and quickest would be for you to raise an OSS to SAP: http://service.sap.com/incident

Full text search on PLM Web UI

Hello,
Full text search functionality in DMS with TREX solution , is working with SAP GUI. ( Original is checked in CV01N or CV02N )
Same functionality is not working with PLM Web UI .
Is there any setting has to be activated for this.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Satya

Hi ,
Yes. When I checkin Document in CV01N , then I can find in CV04N.
But if I check original in PLM Web UI , then I can not find in CV04n.
I assume that indexing will not problem as it is working in SAP GUI case.
Indexing functionalities ( TREX ) are not called when Document is checked in through PLM Web UI.
Where we can check these settings ?
Thanking you,

DMS Errors in PLM Web UI

Hi Folks,
I am running into errors when trying to edit an original and add an original to a DIR using the PLM Web UI (everything works fine in SAPGUI).
Upon opening the DIR (which as created in SAPGUI) I get the warning "No entry for the document maintained in viewer customizing". Not sure exactly what this is referring to and I could not find anything in customizing. If I try to edit or add an original I get the message "Inconsistent security list".
After searching forums and notes I came across note 1224097 (PLM Web User Interface: Installation of Applets) which talks about creating white lists using transaction WDR_ACF_WLIST. I am not sure if this is related to my issue, however, when I went into the transaction there was no default white lists as the note mentions. Is this typically done by basis?
Appreciate any help or suggestions you might have in getting the issue resolved. Support pack levels are mentioned below.

Setup Web Documents node not visible in SPRO

Dear All,
I have refered to steps as mentioned in below link. The 'SetUp Web Documents' node was present in one of our ECC Client location. I have activated - CVAW_ENTIRE in SICF, but am not able to view the node itself in IMG for a new client (See attached). This client is on ECC 6.0 EHP6.
Please let me know if there's any additional setting supposed to be done by Basis during ECC Installation itself for the node to show-up, or if this functionality no longer exists??.

Calling up a Performance Manger SPC Chart from a WebI document

Post Author: satwar
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
Please forgive my terminology, as I'm only a superuser of B.O. not a computer trained person.I have put a few years into configuring WebI document reports in InfoView of B.O. XI 2. Our company is getting into SPC in a big way, hence my attention has turned to Performance Manager. I was disappointed to learn that I have to create a whole new Universe of objects in Performance Manager in order to conduct SPC analysis on the variables I have been reporting in tables & graphs in WebI documents in InfoView.I can learn to accept that aspect of B.O. but I am a little concerned about my users having to navigate through Performance Manager to view SPC analytics. My users have put up considerable resistance just navigating to WebI documents in InfoView.Hope seemed to be around the corner when I read about calling up Performance Manager analytics from WebI documents. Having read the details it seems like these WebI documents are created in the Performance Manager Universe, not in the Infoview WebI documents that I have already developed in InfoView.If anyone can explain and clarify how this feature works, I'd be eternally grateful.

You can Link any documents that are stored as objects in the cmc, regardless of the universe or way in which they were created.openAnalytic.jsp will allow you to open pretty much anything much as does openDocument int the webi world.Once you create the SPC chart in process analysis youll need to view it in the control chart screen then click save as and save it into one of you folders in the corp repository. When this is done you can quickly get an example of the URI syntax by going to create new document in dashboard manger, selecting interactive metric trends, expanding navigation and legend opions, clicking browse, selecting your newly saved analytic and clicking ok. This will but a url into the text box which you can copy and paste into your webi doc links - here's an example of the kind of thing... openAnalytic.jsp?DocumentName=MySPCanalytictest&RepositoryType=C&RepositoryName=SPCTest&DocumentExt=afd&DocumentId=AadTAN28x6lMpTxxlAhW09s&mode=full You may need to stick the odd ../../ or /jsp/ etc in front of the url depecing where you plan to call it from of course. You'll find descriptions of parameters etc for openAnalytic in the product docs. cheers,jez.

Extracting SQL statement from a Webi document's data provider using SDK.

Hi all,
Is it possible to extract the SQL statement from an existing Webi document's data provider using BO SDK? I've searched through the class library but haven't found any information on this yet. If you have done it, could you provide some guidance. Many thanks.

I found the following Java code that might be of some help to you. I realize you are using .NET but this might push you down the right path.
The trick here is to use the Report Engine SDK to get the DataProvider of the DocumentInstance. Then, look at the SQLDataProvider to get your SQLContainer.
My apologies for the poor formatting. This didn't copy and paste over to the forums very well. I've cleaned up as much as I could.

How to add a new filter in an existing web service method (BIWS - WEBI document)

Hello Experts, we have 7 web service query's connected to a dashboard. Basically it is one WSDL URL and 7 Get Methods...Web service queries are BIWS (via WEBI document instance). There are filters setup for each of these web service methods.
Recently there was a request to add 2 new fields to the webi document and also the 2 fields need to be included as filters in the 7 methods. I know there is an option to edit the method, but when i edit the method, i cannot find the 2 new fields in list to set as filters.Can anybody help me understand how to add filters to an existiing web service method? I do not want to delete the method and republish the block as web service.
Any help will be great and points rewarded.
Thank you
Ann

Hi Ann,
The reason you are not able to see any of the new columns as a option to select in your web service block is because when you have published that block, they were not present. Add these two new objects in your block and publish it again. You will be prompted for duplication content. Select the highlighted block for duplicate and now you can see the new added objects in the filter option. Update and this will overwrite your published block. Please note, web services do appear to behave weirdly when used with dashboards so I request you to please try it in a separate test report first.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Tanisha

Can't open webi documents

Hi,
We can't open webi documents on BO XI 3.0. We have the following error message :
com.businessobjects.wp.om.OMReportElementContainer
(Error: INF)
But we can open deski documents through infoview.
Any ideas ?

We are seeing this error now and it has happened again after restarting the SIA and Tomcat. We will try rebooting whole server tonight.
SAP KB 1326991 suggests:
Cause
The CMSClusterMembers entry in the registry is not updated.
Resolution
WARNING ***********
The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

How to get the filters of Webi document/Report using Java code in XI SDK.

Hi All,
   I have a requirement where i have to extrcat filters from the Webi Document.using java SDK.
I am trying to find the class called "filterable"but not able to use in my java code and will get always
"java.lang.ClassCastException com.businessobjects.wp.om.OMDocument cannot be cast to com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.Filterable"
I am using the below java code like
ReportElement re=document.getStructure()
FilterContainer flt=((Filterable) re).getFilter()
I am stuck and need this in uregent.
Please help.

Hi Rajeev,
To retrieve a FilterContainer you will need to traverse the report structure:
ReportStructure boReportStructure = boDocumentInstance.getStructure();
ReportContainer boReportContainer = (ReportContainer) boReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
FilterContainer boFilterContainer = null;
if (boReportContainer.hasFilter()) {
     boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.getFilter();
} else {
     boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.createFilter(LogicalOperator.AND);
Calling boDocumentInstance.getStructure() will retrieve the entire structure for the document.
Calling boReportStructure.getReportElement(0) will retrieve the structure for the first report of the document.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dan

Inserting pictures in Webi documents

Hello,
I would like to paste or to insert a picture in my webi document. This picture can be a company logo or something like that. But the functionality of inserting a URL which goes to a picture is not enough. Is there no other way of inserting a picture in a webi document?

Good Day!

WebI document output

Hi
I have a question.
Whenevr a WebI document is refreshed or run manually in InfoView, and saved on the repository, is there a way to get the output file from the server?
Does BO save a copy of the file anywhere on server?
I dont want to schedule the report ans store the output/mail the output. This is a report with prompts and the user needs to change the values each time he/she runs the report and thus cannot be scheduled.
This has to be on a manual basis.
Please help. Please let me know if the question is unclear.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Kuldeep for your response.
But i guess this is not exactly what i am looking for.
The scenario is, the user needs to inout the values for prompts, which you rightly said can be achieved via refresh on open option.
Now after this report is saved, there can be 2 options, either just save it to repository(which would save the structure and the last refreshed report output). Or save it to the computer as a local copy(xls or pdf).
We actually want to use this file as a parameter file for an ETL process and thus dont want it to save to personal computer as a lcoal copy.
I want to know if the last refreshed report is saved somewhere on the BO server, or if it can be saved to some location? And what format would this report be in? So that the output file can be taken from server and used as a parameter file for an ETL run.
Thanks again

Shruti

You have a "NoClassDefFoundError", so a code snippet won't help.
XI Release 2 -> XI 3, then jar files have been renamed and object files refactored.
You've ended up with mixed XI Release 2 and XI 3 jars.
Remove your jars and re-add from XI 3.
