Relase version of visual composer

hallow
i heard that sap labs working on new version of visual composer
maybe some one now when sap labs release it?
Regards

Yes that's correct. It's currently not released. We are rampup partner and we already use it since july. I think the rampup ends in the end of november, so it will be released in the beginning of december.
In the new release you can develop VC Kits in the new NetWeaver Developer Studio. SAP devlievers also a Voice Kit. With this kit you can create voice applications as you know them from support lines. This is a nice feature. Also the 32k bug is solved and you can reuse parts of your models. And many more improvements... just check the trial...

Which one is the latest version of Visual Composer and where is available?

Hi guys!
Can you answer me the question? Send pls also information, where it is available to download..
Thanx!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Latest version of Visual Composer (Version 7.0, based on NetWeaver release NW04S) can be obtained from the SAP Service Marketplace (you will need a SAP customer ID for this).
1. Visit service.sap.com
2. Goto software download (ie.,--> https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/swdc)
3. Download SAP NW04 SR1 VISUAL COMPOSER 6.0
The only other way of getting a trial version is to download the NW04S "Sneak Preview" edition from the SDN Downloads area and install it.Follow this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/77317c8d-0701-0010-f093-ed35a427f559">link</a>
Also check out this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/profile?userID=162382">thread</a> which gives steps to download VC and the documentation links and installation guides for the same.

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

Creating TabStrip control using visual composer

Hi,
I am NW04 version for Visual Composer. I want to create a TabStrip control on which I want to show two table from a RFC. Is there any facility available to create this like NW2004s. I found from some posts that NW04 verson doesn't have capabilities to create listbox. Or is there any patches available and after applying we will get the functionality??? Or can I install VC for NW2004s and it will be compatible with EP 6.0??
Please suggest.
Thanks,
SA.

Use layers and set the correpsonding property. Tabstrip is one of the options in 2004.

Any alternative for Visual Composer?

Dear all,
The new version of Visual Composer are very attractive due to the use of Macromedia Flex technology. However, it seems still not avaliable now. So, I would like to ask if there is any alternative to Visual Composer that:
a) has an attractive user interface, and
b) able to get realtime data from, for example, BW by means of connector?
Please help me....THANKS A LOT!
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Ignacio,
Thanks for your reply!
BI Java Connector can only extract real time information from BW.
However, what I want is an applcation which I can extract real time information from BW and then can generate some financial reports (through some pre-configuration) using those extrected information.
Visual Composer (VC) can do so with very attractive output (i.e. the financial report). However, VC is not mature enough and that's why I would like to look for some other mature alternative.
Is there any application can achieve such purpose?
Thanks and best regards,
Marcus

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.

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
Deepak singh

Data Service System In Visual Composer 7.1

Hello,Experts:
Recently ,i am focusing on the mirgration function of SAP NetWeaver,and visual composer is among them .
In netweaver 2004s enterpise portal ,i have done the system connection between Enterpise Portal and ECC and BW ,and the system alias can be accessed in visual composer .Both the bapi and infocube can be got by the system alias .The Visual Composer Application based on the backend data service is ok .
However ,i have registry the ecc system in CE Portal and its version is SAP Composte Environment SP5 .I can check out the system registry is ok . However ,when i open the Visual Composer on the CE Portal ,i couldnt find the system alias that i have registried .It is blank .Plus,we havent install SLD on the CE Java Server ,and solution manager is put forward to take the place of sld .
Can anybody help me out ? The problem has any relationship with the Enterpise Service Repository ?
Thanks for your help in advance .
Eleanor

Hi Eleanor,
first of all if you want to use SAP BW in Visual Composer for CE then you have to install Enhancement Package 1. SAP BW resp. queries, planning functions and so on is only supported with VC 7.11 (EhP1 for CE). I also recommend you to set up the SLD in your CE system resp. that it works as a "slave SLD" when you have an existing SLD in your landscape. There are wizards available in the NetWeaver Administrator.
Go to http://<host>:<port>/nwa to login into NetWeaver Administrator.
Navigate to Configuraton --> Scenario --> Configuration Wizard and choose the Initial setup of functional unit SLD.
If you want to have access to BAPIs there are two ways to access the system. You can define a portal system object to access the ECC or you can define in NWA a RFC connection to access ECC.

Eventing in Visual Composer 7.1 Enhancement Package 1

We are running Enhancment Package 1 on 7.1 and the release note says that client side event is supported. However I build 2 iViews one with Data Entry text iput and and a signal out and the the sencond one with a signal in and a text field. I cannot get what I type in to the first iView to pass to the second. Is there a simple example that illustrates that eventing is working in this release.

I used the non WEB Dynpro event tested with the following results.
For an iView that I had build with Visual Composer 7.0 and converted using the CE 7.1.1 converter tool I now see the following. In this case the evnt had the prefix urn: on it
10:20:12 : urn:com.osisoft.pct.RtPM, AdhocTags, %3CParamsversion%3D%223%22%3E%3CRowParamname%3D%22%5C%5Cgsrtwebparts%5Ccdt158%22%2F%3E%3C%2FParams%3E, undefined
This same iView on Visual Composer 7.0 delivered the following message using the tool in EP 7.0
10:52:46 : urn:com.osisoft.pct.RtPM, AdhocTags, <Params><param name="Paramname" value="%5C%5Cgsrtwebparts%5Ccdt158"/></Params>, undefined
For an iView that I created new with Visual Composer 7.1.1 and tried to use the same tool the tool did not catch the event and nothing was displayed in the log when the event name had urn: on it.
I rebuilt and removed the urn: and now the tool picked up the event with the following log.
11:12:29 : urn:com.osisoft.pct.RtPM, AdhocTags, %3CParamsversion%3D%223%22%3E%3CRowParamname%3D%22%5C%5Cgsrtwebparts%5Ccdt158%22%2F%3E%3C%2FParams%3E, undefined
The XML has changed and the use of urn: is inconsistent between versions.
Thanks for pointing me to this tool.
The Web Dynpro version you suggest did not show anything so that is why I tried the non-WebDynpro.

Visual Composer 7.0 roadmap

Hello experts,
We have NetWeaver EP 7.0 installed with Visual Composer in our C&B and DEV environment. We haven't started developing with it yet.
My questions to you is:
What is the future of Visual Composer 7.0?
My understanding is that SAP has put a lot of energy integrating Visual Composer into CE 7.1. This new version has significant changes compare to it's predecessor. Visual Composer for CE 7.1 seems to be the way to go if one needs to create applications based on existing data services. In short terms, both versions will coexist. Bbut in long terms...?
Can anyone help me find the Visual Composer roadmap?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Nathalie

Hi,
This is a quote from the Visual Composer main page on SDN: (/people/jarrod.williams/blog/2009/09/14/whats-new-in-visual-composer)
"_Visual Composer 7.0_
In light of the progress made relating to parity between Visual Composer 7.0 and Visual Composer CE, our investment in Visual Composer 7.0 will be limited to maintenance after the release of enhancement package 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. We are confident that with the provisions made for migration to Visual Composer 7.1 enhancement package 1 or Visual Composer 7.2 and the great feature set in Visual Composer for enhancement package 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0, our existing customers running Visual Composer 7.0 will enjoy the best of both worlds: the option to upgrade to Visual Composer 7.2 or to stay with the latest release of Visual Composer 7.0."
I'll stress the last part, though VC on CE is a great version, staying with the latest release of Visual Composer 7.0 is also good, depending on your needs of course, for instance - the attractive Flash runtime which is currently exclisive for VC 7.0, the "Flash Components" feature that was entered on SP5 of 7.01 (and in 7.02) , which enables you to consume custom 3rd party flash components or Xcelsius controls inside Visual Composer,, which makes flash black-boxes easier to consume than in CE, .. etc..
still - VC on CE of course has it's own advantages - the ability to consume clustered services, life-cycle management, it's intergration with the other CE components etc..
and so if you'll find that VC 7.0 is not enough, you could always upgrade and migrate to the CE versions (7.1 or 7.2).
bottom line - it's a win win situation.

Visual Composer 7.0 support in SAP BW 7.3

Hi
We are planning an upgrade to BW 7.3 in the coming months. We have many visual composer 7.0.1 applications deployed in our current BWenvironment. Is there a Visual Composer 7.0 instance for further development and will currently deployed iviews function as is in 7.3 or do we need to migrate to a new version (7.3) and redeploy?
Any information on this will be very helpful
Thanks

Hi,
this is a very sensitive thing. Normally your earlier versions should also work in 7.3 as already deployed applications. If you like to reuse your models you will need to migrate them. Unfortunately migration process is not very easy as both systems (the original one as well as the 7.3 one) need to be absolutely identical. Also all backend systems your application depends on need to be completely identical.
The best way to keep your models to work is either to recreate them in the new system or to keep an out of the box 7.0 system for development. I know this is not a nice solution but as you already ask for the consequences I try to tell you what would be best.

Nested Tables in Visual Composer 7.0

Gurus,
When I am trying to drag and drop the webservice in the Iview it gives a warning message "Port 'Salesorder' was omitted because it includes nested tables which are not presently supported by Visual Composer" . My question is how to use this webservice which has nested table in one of the input port. Is there any work around or can you suggest me any other way we can call this webservice "ECC_SalesOrderCTRC1".

Hi,
Nested tables are not supported by this version of VC.
This is an architectural problem and I don't know of any work around for it (other than changing the WS).
Nested tables are and will be supported in VC CE (7.1).
Regards,
Shay
