Requirements for Web Application Designer

Dear Experts,
Happy New year to all....!!!!! We have installed BI in SAP Netweaver 2004s with ABAP+JAVA stack. Also, we have BEx 7.0 and we need to create web templates of the reports and queries which have been created in BI system so that we can call them in CRM 2007 Web UI.
For, our BI consultant is trying to create web template, but could not do so as it is giving a XML Validation error. Also, I came to know from one of my friend that inorder to use WAD the BI system should have a component called BI_JAVA.
Can anyone tell me is it mandatory to have BI_JAVA in BI system to create web templates using WAD and what are the requirement or pre-requisites to use WAD.
Currently, BI system is not having BI_JAVA and how can I install if it is required. Appreciate any qucik help in this regard.
Regards,
Sharath Babu

HI Sharath,
Preliminary checks and general issues for WAD
Is the Microsoft .Net Framework installed to the PC and available in the required version plus potential hotfixes?
Please see notes 930350 and especially 877774.
Is the Netweaver BI Frontend installed correctly in the latest version?Please see note 918394 for the BI Frontend installation check and attach it to the Customer Message, if you create one.
Please get the latest version of the BI Frontend in case it is not already installed.
Is the Portal connectivity (connectivity between ABAP backend and Java backend including the "Callback scenario") set up correctly and running?Please see notes 917950 and 888687 which explain how to set up and analyze issues here. Note 916090 explains how to indicate that a situation is there. The quick check is (as also mentioned in the notes): execute program RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN_70, choose "0ANALYSIS_PATTERN" and click "Runtime Format Preview" (details see note 917950)
If an issue occurs here, and the notes do not seem to help you solve the problem, please provide the information mentioned in notes 917950 and 888687. The component is BW-BEX-ET-WEB.

Check this SAP Note Number: 1013140

How to create own Web Items for Web Application Designer

Hi all,
is it possible to create own Web Items for the Bex Web Application Designer? Each Web Item has a Master Web Item and a class that is responsible for rendering data. I need a solution to get the Web Item's data - i.e. the content of a table (if Web Item = table). So my approach would be to create an own (Standard) Web Item with an own class. For example I would like to change the table's Web Item parameter <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/> to an own class...
Is this possible?
Or ist there any possibility to get the Web Item's data by an interface?
Any support is welcome...thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Dominik

if you want to create your own webitem check out the link given by other sdner.

Web Reporting Authorizations for Web Application Designer

Hi,
any information on authorizations in context with the Web Application Designer would be appreciated. I know the data access is regulated the normal class RS and RSR authorization objects. Any way to secure and regulate access to the Web items in the WAD?
thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Security settings are the standard ones (RS/RSR) as you mention plus limiting access to Web templates using roles.
I do not know any mean to limit access at the web item level; you can define security restrictions on the underlying queries though.
Best regards,

Hardware requirements for web application

I am developing a web application with JSP's and servlets, it also has a database (MySQL) with about 26 tables a few of them with over 40 columns, pictures will also be stored in the Database (uploaded by users), for now the application will not have so many clients but it's intended to grow.
I want to know how to estimate the hardware requirements for both the clients and the server to run the application.
Tanx in advance.

Web application designer basics

hi experts,
i am bw learner and want to know few things
1) how do we publish report developed in web application designer so that we can access it on internet. Is there any webserver offered by sap.
2) how that report will be authenticated in browser, do we have to create a login page for users or is there any built in one.
3) Does web application designer comes with Sap GUI (like bex analyzer) or do we have to install separate programme.
Points will be assigned. thanks

I would suggest that you search the forums first ...
1) how do we publish report developed in web application designer so that we can access it on internet. Is there any webserver offered by sap.
SAp BI comes with a ABAP Web server and a JAVA web server. You can publish the web template / report using these servers ... they can be directly accessed using the URL ( the application has a feature to execute the same in the web ) or the same can be published as a page on Enterprise portal and then accessed from there.
2) how that report will be authenticated in browser, do we have to create a login page for users or is there any built in one.
The access for the same will be through the BI login. When you execute the URL , you will be prompted to login by the server and you do not need to create a separate login page for the same. You can also access them through Enterprise portal where the user needs to login to the enterprise portal and then access all systems using a Single Sign On or SSO.
3) Does web application designer comes with Sap GUI (like bex analyzer) or do we have to install separate programme.
The front end for Web Application designing is called Web Application designer and it gets installed along with your GUI installation and you can design the templates using the same.
Note: WAD is getting phased out by Xcelsius as part of the BI BO roadmap but then with extended support you will have WAD supported till about 2016 I guess so nothing to worry right now.

How to restrict Web application designer access in BW 3.5

Hi
We are using BW 3.5 on WAS 6.4 and want to restrict access for Web Application designer. I found Note 605417 and when I asked our Basis team to apply that, it didn't let them apply it says component already applied. When we check as per note functional module RSAH_TOOL_AUTHTY_CHECK, commented part not uncommented. I will appreciate if any one help me finding solution in this situation?
Thanks,
Yash

Hi,
This problem Could happen when you referesh quality or test system.
Your delta setup for the related master and transaction data needs to be reinit.
What happens is when you init. the delta and subsequent delta is all maintained in your source system
please check Notes 852443,424848,834229

Security for creating web templates using web application designer

I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
there are no special authorization objects for Web Templates. RS_COMP will still only work for queries, structures.... Saving to roles requires certain authorizations for the role (s_agr_*), here you can define the roles you can save templates to.

Web Application Designer need help ASAP

Hi All,
I have a requirement to customize the analysis item in a web application designer.
I have created new templetes and added a analysis with a query view as data provider .
in the output I require to hide some rows of the query view and also change the color of the text i.e the numbers.
How to modify the output of the analysis item which is coming from a query view or is there any way where I can modify the output of the web templete.
Thanking You,
Rukmini

Dear Devi,
If you do not want to use the default display and behavior of the Analysis Web item, you can use the Modification parameter to change them. You can modify the table structure and the table cells.
The Modification parameter provides modules whose use can be controlled using additional parameters.
This function enables you to use similar options to those available in earlier releases with the Web Design API for Tables. Unlike the Web Design API for Tables, modifications enable you to make targeted changes to the display and behavior without any programming.
Prerequisites
The modules are the main prerequisites for making modifications to the Analysis Web item. The modules are implemented in Java. The SAP Basis infrastructure in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 does not support any customer modifications or extensions to Java coding. Customers are therefore not able to develop their own modules for modifications to the Analysis Web item.
SAP delivers a number of sample modules. You can use parameters to modify the display and behavior of these modules.
Procedure
You use the modules as follows:
       1.      Select a module from the sample modules.
       2.      Specify the module in the Modification parameter of the Analysis Web item.
       3.      Control the display and behavior of the module by specifying the module-specific parameters.
Result
The table of the Analysis Web item is displayed in an individual manner using the modules. The behavior of the table may also be different. For example, you can define commands for table cells.
Example
For example, you can define a fixed column width or display comments in cells.

Unable to open WAD (web application designer) in BW 3.5!

Hi,
when i open WAD through menu path (start->programs
->Business explorer->Web application designer), i am getting the following error!
WADConst
Please log on to a Netweaver BI 7.x system. System J2E does not have the minimum version required 70005.
I just can`t understand from where i got this BI 7.x system, when my system is BW 3.5 (NW04 platform).
can any one expalin me what is this problem? and suggest me to over come this problem?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi!
I assume that you installed the SAP GUI 6.40 with BI Addin (which contains the BI Frontend for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI).
In this case, you have a sub folder underneath "Business Explorer" in your startmenu named "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)".
You have to use this version of the BEx Web Application Designer.
If this is not the case, please create a Support Message with all detailed information (backend and frontend versions).
Thank you,
Tobias

Print PDF file with the lay out created in the BEx web application designer

Got the following questions (problems) when print a web report created in BEx Web Application Designer to a PDF file:
1. The tile (which has a company logo and report name in it) was not printed, is it possible to print a title (with company logo) on each page of the PDF file?
2. Want print the filters that have value specified on the PDF file, is it possible to do this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Simon,
you can achieve this requirement i.e. using this way of implementation:
1. Create a new template which contains the required fields (company logo etc) and set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template and add the filter values (variable names) you want to display on the PDF. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item.
3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly.
Brgds,
Marcel
