Problem installing Visual Composer

Hi experts,
I downloaded Visual Composer from SAP Servise but I have not been able to install it on my laptop due to the following issues:
It is looking for a SQL client, and an IIS server.
Can you tell me what I might be doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer ,
Your Visual Composer installation is comprised of the following components:
<b>Visual Composer Server</b>
made up of the following: Web Server (IIS), Storage Layer (Microsoft SQL Server), Visual Composer Storyboard (the Visual Composer interface
that you use for portal content development)
<b>Visual Composer Addons to SAP Enterprise Portal</b> (connects Visual Composer to portal)
Visual Composer is internally using IIS Server as Webserver.So IIS Server is mandatory...
Meta Data informations regarding our applications which are developed using Visual Composer are stored in the DataBase. Thats why its is asking for SQL Clien.
   Installation guide is here....

User Guide is available here

Problem installing Visual Composer NW04 Stack10

Hi
I have a problem installing Visual Composer on SAP EP NW04 Stack 10.
I have downloaded VC from Service Marketplace version NWVC60_0-20000504.zip.
I reach the problem where I should Connect to the SQL Database Server
Enter connection details
Host name: my host
Default TCP/IP Port: 1433
DB Name: VCDB
Username: sa
Password: mypassword
Then I get the following error:
Failed to connect to database server - the log says the following
[DBMSLPCN]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBMSLPCN]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
Have anoyone reached the same error or have a solution on this problem?
Regards
Kay-Arne

Hi Kay-Arne,
Please check if the authentication you are using to connect to SQL server is windows only, if this is the case change it to SQL Server and Windows and try the installation again.

Problem to install Visual Composer.

Hi,
I am having some problems to install this versions: NWVC60_0-20000504
About my landscape:
I am using two boxes machines: one of them where is installed MSSQL 2000 SP3, and the other one E.P 6.0 SP2 Patch 4 and IIS 5.0.
I read Installation Guide 1.2 during the step 3.4 Installing Visual Composer Storyboard: I run setup.exe the system asked me:
HOST NAME:
DEFAULT TCP/IP PORT:
AND DBNAME
After entering of this paremeters appear a message saying:
"Visual Composer Installation requires SQL200 SERVER indicate appropiate server"
This is MSQLServer 2000 and I have installed SP3 (I don't understand this message).
In order to proof this connection I have configured an ODBC connection and it worked fine. (I use the same database, user and password).
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Here, I have a doubt:
Must I manualy create this D.B or the system create it ?
Thanks a lot,
Patricio Garcia.

Hi,
You don't have to manually create the database, it is done by the installer. But the installer stops on your case when testing the DB version. Try running the following SQL phrase used by the installer:
use master ;declare @dbversion varchar(150) ;select @dbversion = substring(@@version, 23,5);print '[Server version]'print @dbversion
It should result with the following:
[Server version]
2000
It also writes it into a temp file in a temp dir which might have failed for some reason (full administrative rights when installing?).

Yaniv.

Problem in Visual Composer Installation

Hi,
I am trying to install the VC Server on my system. I have installed the required components like
1.     MS SQL Server 2000 DE
2.     IIS
3.     MS Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or higher
4.     Microsoft XML Parser 4.0
5.     Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0
Now, when i try to install the VC, in one of the wizard screen, it is asking me to enter the server details and login details.. I gave "sa" userid and pwd.. in that screen, but.....
i am getting an error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" . But, the SQL Server is already running...
Please help me out to get rid of this message and install it properly.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunatha.T.S

Hello Tommy,
Don't Forget to set the authentication to windows & SQL !
(page 11 of installation guide)
3.4 Installing Visual Composer Storyboard
To install Visual Composer Storyboard, you must first check that the SQL server is configured
according to Visual Composer requirements. Following the prerequisite software installation,
you install Visual Composer Storyboard on the Visual Composer server machine.
Procedures
To configure the SQL server:
1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs ¨ Microsoft SQL Server ¨
Enterprise Manager.
2. Under the Console Root ¨ Microsoft SQL Servers list, locate your machine, right-click
on it and select Properties.
3. In the SQL Server Properties dialog box, click the Security tab. Then select SQL Server
and Windows as the Authentication option and System Account as the Startup service
account option and click OK.
To activate IIS security features:
1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings ¨ Control Panel ¨ Administrative
Tools ¨ Internet Services Manager.
2. From the Internet Information Services tree, expand your machine node and expand
the Default Web Site tree.
3. Right-click the VCServer folder and from the context menu, choose Properties.
4. In the VCServer Properties dialog box, open the Directory Security tab.
It runs well as soon I put the local account to run the services (as said in the installation guide too).
Hope it helps !
Kind Regards

How To Install Visual Composer

Hi,
this may sound stupid, but I am stuck:
How to install Visual Composer?
I have a Portal 7.0 and KM. Is it just an additional package? On which install CD is it? Can I install it now, after the regular portal is up and running?
I have seen the install guide, but I am missing the big picture.
Can someone outline the general steps and the prerequsities?
Thanks in Advance
hs

Hello Holger,
Actually if you've installed the Portal than you already have Visual Composer installed as it is part of the EP usage installation.
To access Visual Composer type the following URL:
http://<machine name>:<port>/VC (i.e. same as portal just replacing "irj/" with "VC" in uppercase).
Additional permissions and settings all appear in the insr.+configuration guide.

Amir

Installing Visual Composer

Hi all,
Can anyone guide me how to install Visual Composer on NW04s,SP9.....
Its Very Urgent....Points Will be awarded....
Thanks in Advance,
Ajay Kande

Hi Ajay,
I guess is better if you make a fast update to SPS11, you will get some fixes and new features than SP9
Is only a recommendation but as you can see in other discussions the SP11 is more stable than the 9 also as you will be modeling with Visual Composer is better that you have the latest fixes included in your composition tool.

Problems using Visual Composer with Web Dynpro runtime

I am currently trying to build a Visual Composer iView and we need to use the Web Dynpro runtime rather than Flash because it needs to work with a screen reader for users with sight problems. Which is a pity because Flash works fine. But when I use Web Dynpro runtime I'm getting the following problems:
a) When I define fields and pushbuttons in forms where Align Contents is set to Absolute, they do not appear at runtime in the positions in which I've placed them - all form elements are aligned vertically. The only other options are to align all fields vertically or align all fields horizontally. This lack of flexibility makes it rather difficult to create a good screen design; the only option seems to be to create a separate form for each set of differently aligned fields, which leads on to the next problem. .
b) When I define more than one form on a page, again at runtime the forms do not always appear in the positions in which I've placed them; the compiler seems to calculate how much space it needs to display the screen elements and then re-sizes and re-positions the forms accordingly, ignoring what I've told it to do.
c) Toolbar pushbuttons do not appear on forms (they do appear on tables). Irritating, but at least I can still create pushbuttons on the form itself.
There are other issues, but the main problems is that it appears that when I use VC with Web Dynpro I cannot trust the editor layout at all and the only way I can build something that looks decent is to fiddle about with field / form sizes and positions, checking every change on the output, until hopefully I get it looking ok. Having to do this will dramatically increase the time taken to develop VC applications. Has anyone else experienced these problems with VC and Web Dynpro? Has anyone managed to overcome them?

Thanks, but neither of these describes the problems I've been having. And they are misleading since they say that you can use VC with Web Dynpro only with Web Services ie not directly with BAPIs / RFCs, but using it with BAPIs / RFCs is one of the few things that works well in our system.
The most recent problem I've found is that if you make a form or table read-only it will stay read-only in Flash but the fields are editable in Web Dynpro. The individual field disable option does work for Web Dynpro, but it turns the fields from black to a vey pale and almost invisible grey (this doesn't happen in Flash). And you can't seem to change this.
It does seem to be a bit pathetic that input fields can't be made read only. I've tried expression boxes, which are read-only anyway, but they appear in as pale a grey as the disabled input fields. And although plain text fields can be added to tables, they are pretty useless since they can only hold a single value and so all the lines will contain the same value.
I guess I should resign myself to the fact that I am never going to be able to produce a decent screen using VC and Web Dynprp.

Problem installing Visual Studio 2012 Professional, "security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object"

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2012 Professional edition on my work laptop, Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1. I have limited admin rights and should be able to install
programs on this laptop but when I try to install VS 2012, I get the following error message:
"This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object."
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi,
You must have administrator credentials to install Visual Studio. However, you do not have to have these credentials to use Visual Studio after it is installed.
More information you can refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e2h7fzkw(v=vs.110).aspx
Please install the Visual Studio 2012 as the administrator.

Problem installing Visual Studio 2010

Hi,
I am trying to install VS2010 on a Windows 7 running on a bootcamp partition of my Mac Book Air.
When I insert the DVD on the drive the splash screen shows "Visual Studio 2008 "... It should be 2010.
If I continue the installation it stops in the middle because of a missing file named DW20.EXE, but these file is there.
I have tested the same DVD in a regular PC and the installation went correctly, it installs VS 2010.
Thanks

You might try asking about this on a Windows 7 or Visual Studio forum as the issue appears to have nothing to do with Apple products.

Deployment Problem in Visual Composer

Hi
I have a SAVE button in a VC screen which is appearing disabled in the deployment environment. The first time i deploy this VC screen for testing , i am able to see the deployment with SAVE button as disabled. 2nd time onwards if i try deploying the screen, it gives me 'Stop Running this Script' error popup and if I press YES in the popup compiling keeps on running and nothing happens , When NO is pressed the error popup reaapears .
Please find the snap shot attached for this error. Please reply if anybody can help resolve this error.

Hello Pranav Nagpal,
I can't seem to think of something as the cause. Would you open a ticket for this? It might be important for the team to understand the model first, you could use Model => Export to save it to the disk.
Thanks,
