Retain navigation steps across WAD templates

Hello experts,
I have a web report that is built using several templates. Each template has a tab container (same tabs across the templates) and a sort button. When navigating across the templates, the users want to retain the last template's navigation steps: same tab, same sorting (right now, the default tab and sorting is executed every time the user goes to a new template).
I have buttons that allow users to switch among templates based on TRANSFER_STATE. It works for the tab container but not for the Sort button. The button does not have a parameter that would allow to keep the navigation step. Moreover, there are RRIs in the report, which does not work with TRANSFER_STATE.
Basically, what I need is a way to apply certain commands (go to proper tab, apply proper sorting) when entering a new template, but based on the previous template. I know I can apply javascript functions when executing the template, but how can I retain and retrieve the previous template's last navigation steps?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JLT

Thank you Janine,
You are right: I can switch from a template to another using TRANSFER_STATE in a button and keep the tab and the sorting.
The problem remains with RRI. I have set some query jumps. Users can right click on a row and Goto another template/queries that is filtered for the user's selection (drill down).
Is there a way I can use TRANSFER_STATE in that context?
Thank you,
JLT

Retain variable values across web templates during a web session

Hi all,
How can we let web template get variable values from another template's variable values so as to keep the same entry values as previous report run?
For example 0vendor has a variable (for single, mandory) used in all vendor related web templates. "vendor1" was entered for the second template.
I tried to use "SET/GET PARAMETER" in variable user exit. It works in BI with RSRT, but it doesn't work with Bex or Web template. Looks like web session is not sync with the ABAP stack.
How about using cookie? How to create/reset cookie in variable user exit? Can we get variable values from web server memory or user session data?
Please share your thought !
Thanks for helping!

Hi Arun,
All the web templates are randomly run by user, there are no set of templates run after one template. Any templates can run after any other web template.
Basically we link web templates with portal menu items. any report can be run by any sequence. The thing the new report need to take the previous selection values from common variables.

WAD - Back one Navigation step

Hi All,
Our reports are created on WAD, and we have a requirement to provide the back one navigation step functionality.
When we do any filter criteria on the row fields, then the back one navigation step is working. But when i drag free charcteristic into rows, then back one navigation step is not working.
for ex : first i drag A field which is there in the free characteristics to the row in the report level
and then drag B field in to the row. now if i click back one navigation step, B field should go from the report and A field should be available in the report.
Thanks and regards,
Vara Prasad.

Hi,
Were you able to find the solution for this?

Hi,
Regarding your issue your template is not active.
In the first place you need to check if the template is activated in the backend BW system.
After activated and launch it from the backend system. Once the BW template is
active, kindly launch the template from the backend system, please try
to launch the template in browser version as we can determine the URL
being launched. If you're able to succesfully launch the template from
the backend and still you're encountering an error while testing it from
the iview. Then it should be a problem with the system object configured
for the iview. There is a need to check if the system alias SAP_BW is
properly configured to the destination BI content system.
Please refer the note:
1048857 - Activating the default Web templates
In RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN_70 you can choose the version of the
template to be displayed ("A" per default).
Please compare and attach the A- and D-version of 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN.
If the activation from business content was successful, the versions
are equal. I assume, that they are not equal.
If they are different it means that the activation was not successful.
Another indicator would be, that the activation only takes one or two
seconds. Normally it takes several seconds (up to a few minutes).
As mentioned in note 1048857 it might happen that the checkboxes, to
mark the objects for activation, are not checked and therefore nothing
is activated. For this case note 1070452 is mentioned, which is
available in english since today: If the checkboxes are not checked
and you are unable to do that manually, please use the context menu
on the object on top to select all objects below. The activate the
objects again ( > how long does it take, A- and D- version are the
same afterwards ?)
It should resolved your issue.
Thanks,
Venkat

Problem with WAD Template

Hi All,
I have 2 queries Ex: QAS1 and QAS2.Both have same selection parameters expect Date in both queries.QAS1 is having date (RO1) and QAS2 is having (ROS1) date parameters. I have a common WAD 7.0 template for both these queries and both queries are merged. So when i execte the web tepmplate i will enter either RO1 Date or ROS1 date and the web template should display the query/report output based on date entered.
Can i use web items or Script Item control or any javascript for this issue?Please provide step by step procedure if there is any solution accordingly.
Is there any better solution for this approach?
Regards..
Edited by: sunanda G on Aug 16, 2011 3:41 PM

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I tried many ways in the web template but issue still not yet solved. That is I have selected 2 Data providers for 2 Reports in the web template, But same reports output except date fields. Those 2 date fields also displayed in selection variables, when I run the template in WEB. So, When I select one date variable the corresponding Data Provider should fill the analysis item table in web template. If I select 2nd Date field variable in the query selection the corresponding Data provider-2 should fill the same analysis item table in same web template.
Actually these templates are available in 3.5 WAD. But that one with java scripts. Now user want to upgrade same templates in WAD 7.0. I also tried using with java script accordingly 3.5 WAD Template. But no use.
Please suggest me.... what is best procedure we can use for issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Sunanda

Is there a way to apply changes in default WAD template to KM Bookmarks?

Hi gurus.
WE ran into the following issue. We have bunch of portal favorites and km bookmarks saved by the users from our BEx Web Analyzer reports. Our Bex Web utilizes a default template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN (renamed to ZZ..).
We have made some customizations to the default template. New queries show the changes, however km bookmarks and favorites saved with an old version of a template still show the old look of the WAD template.
Is there a way to somehow update km bookmarks and portal favorites to reflect the changes in the default template?
Thanks

This is common issue to customized 0analysis_pattern templates in BI...
Use program - RSWR_BOOKMARK_ADJUST
Select your customized web template..
Web item to be removed - Specify the web item that you changed..
New web items should automatically appear...
Try this program on few affected bookmarks first and then run it wide across without bookmark selection. At one of my clients I adjust 200k such bookmarks.
Use with caution....test properly before you do...You dont want large number of bookmarks becoming useless...

Definition Of Navigation Steps

Hi,
Does anybody have a definition of the navigation steps.
Specifically, what is navigation step 1, what is navigation step 2, .............
I feel that I have done a comprehensive search across many sites without having found any specific details.

Hi Tansu
I have the same kind of problem. In my case, i have the below in rows
Plant_country
Profit Center
Material->display attr ( one display attribute)
Mat_plant-->display attr( one display attribute)
Material_prod_hier
Material_matl_type
Material_division
Mat_plant_mrp_contrl
Mat_plant_0pur_grp
Stor_loc
Stocktype
and whenever I am running the report I see in SM50 /BI0/PMAT_PLANT is being read with report CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA======CP. for long time ( direct read)
Then another report SAPLRRK0 is taking huge time in reading. But one thing is sure its is reading BWA not the Cube except master data table for MAT_PLANT.
by 30 char object you meant long text /short text?
Dont know what needs to be done to make this particular query faster. Please advise.

Same WAD Template to be used for different queries and dataprovider

Hi All,
I want to create a WAD template that cound be use by 100 more queries.
Making setting in SPRO or RSCUSTV27 will make it a default template for all the queries.
I only want the template to be used for say MM module(100 queries).
Any way it can be done?
Please help.
Thanks
Vinay

Hi Vin Loh,
I assume your requirement as this:
Case 1: You have N querie(s) on several infoproviders in your case MM module, and that you would like to display all the queries in a single WAD report? You can do it! Its a feasible solution.
Goto WAD > Insert a 2 X 2 table > In the (1,1) box insert a drop down box. In the (1,2) You may add a Title of type 'Text' > In the (2,1) box you may add a 'Navigational Pane' > In the (2,2) cell add the 'Analysis Grid' > Create a Dataprovider DP_1 referencing any frequently accessed query. As of now a template has been created, which can be modified as accordance to suit your requirements.
Now, once done, goto the dropdown box settings. This DDBox's main objective is to give you acess to all the N queries in your MM module. Goto 'Web Item Params' > Choose the 'Data Binding' option > Edit Parameter > In the 'Data Binding Type' choose 'QUERY VIEW' > Goto the 'Selection of Query Views' > Check the option 'Specify List of Query Views' > Under 'Single Entry in DD...' choose Initial State as QUERY; Not QUERYVIEWS > Choose your N queries as listed here. No need to create N different DPs or N different reports.
Here, your iView is of type ..TEMPLATE=ZTEST.. for WAD based reports; not ..QUERY=ZTEST...
Guess it will resolve your issue.
Case 2: You wish to create a BEx template for all your existing MM queries as run on BEx Web based analyzer? In this case you need to check on the KM config. In the portal you have the Imported iViews templates.
Thanks,
Arun Bala

Navigation Pane in WAD?

Hi,
Please explain me about the use of navigation pane in WAD.Actually I know what for it is used.But I am unable to add characterstics to the navigation pane.

Vasu,
I didnot understand the whole subject. To explain, Navigation pane in WAD is the Web item used for displaying the drilldown characteristics, available default characteristics and key figures under the 'Drilldowns or Navigation' in the web report.
You can make this visible or hidden. You cannot 'add' characteristics here, all the characteristics in the query will be visible by default. You must do the 'data binding' to this web item with the query (s) you want to drilldown.
If you are not able to see the navigation pane in the report would mean that the property is set as ' hidden ' in the web template in WAD.
Hope this helps.
Ramesh

Print button on WAD template

Hi,
Presently we are in BW 3.5 version with support pack 22. We enhanced the html code based on ' How to ... Web printing with MS Excel' document. We imported the transport file which contains package and ABAP Classes.
After click on the print button on Web report, it was giving the same result area in the same page instead of giving the excel open or save options.
How to debug the enhanced html code in the WAD template? How to check the ABAP class('ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT') which i used in the
code?
Or is there any way to print the result area of Web report?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

How to use one WAD template for all the available queries

Hi,
I have created a WAD template... Now we have close to 25 queries which will use that template for displaying their output at Portal...
Is there any way that i don`t have to create multiple copies of my WAD template...
I.e. all queries would call that same template through portal...

Hi,
The Bex report uses the Standard Template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN while it is executed.
So if your sure that the look and feel of all the Reports is going to remain same, you don't need to even attach all these Queries to Templates in WAD.
When you execute the BEx query, it would pick up the standard template and run it in portal.
But if you want to customize the Report Template:
1) You can change this standard template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN and customize it according to ur requrement in WAD.
2) Or you can create a copy of this standard template and change it as required. Then change the template in spro (transaction RSCUSTV27) to point to this Z template.
Let me know if you need more details.

Problem with Javascript in WAD Template

Hello,
I have placed zdate_functions.js in /sap/bw/Mime/Customer/JavaScript/ with the following function...
function getDateMMDDYYYY()
{var curdate = new Date();
var month = curdate.getMonth(); var day = curdate.getDate();var year = curdate.getFullYear();
var display = month + "/" + day + "/" year;
return display;
In the WAD Template I placed the code to 'register' zdate_functions based on a view source of the original template...
script src="/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/JavaScript/zdate_functions.js" /script
Then later I placed this code to get a date in a fiormat I need it in...
script document.write(getDateMMDDYYYY()); /script
However, I am not getting anything. What I am I missing or do you see a mistake in my code?
Thank you in advance for any assitance.

How to Create authorization WAD template for BW3.5?

Hi All
How To create Authorization for a Web template in Bw 3.5 ?
I have a requirement to restrict a particular Web templated in bw 3.5 So that all the end users should not be able to access that template only a particular user should be allowed to view the template?
I cant find any authorization object for the WAD template in bw 3.5 ?
Can anyone tell me the procedure to include the WAD template authorization?
Should i include the authorization template in the Menu - in pfcg??? . i have added the template in the Menu in the PFCG but still it didnt work.
Thanks

As you said, the authorizations for the WAD templates should be given in PFCG roles.
But you have to include the access/authorization details in the authorization objects. WAD templates have been created with including info/multiprovider, info cubes right.. first you have to include these objects inside the Role in PFCG.
S_RS_COMP,S_RS_COMP1,S_RS_MPRO,S_RS_ICUBE.
just assigning WAD template in the menu of the roles is to display when you login with the userid.
Please request your BASIS folks to do the same.
Hope this would help you.
