SAP Business Context Viewer & Side panel

Hello,
Did anyone implemented Business Context Viewer as a part of their SAP Landscape or planning to do so.
BCV-Side Panel looks to be a very good option for Dynamic reporting. Currently I have ECC 6.0 Ehp6 SAP Environment. Do I need to buy any extra license for this.
From my side I have activated the Business Functions Listed in the SAP Help. Though Side Panel appears on the screen but no data is getting reflected there. What extra settings need to be done to get the values reflect in Side Panel.
Please advise me the best approach in making this happen.
Thanks and Regards,
Praveen.

Greetings Praveen,
Have a look at the document by Jan Poeschel - I think it will be helpful to you, as it describes the BCV side panel setup "howto".

    Hi Ashok,
    It might be too late for your specific task but maybe the following information could help others: Meanwhile, there is an official How-to Guide that describes how to integrate BCV in your own Web Dynpro application. It can be found here:

  • SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Side Panel not displaying JT file

    We are trying to use the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Side Panel from transaction CV03N.  The Side Panel display.  However, all of the various sections of the Side Panel are empty.  Any suggestions of how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
    We traced the interaction between the browser and the server using Fiddler.  We can see a web service call going out to sap/bc/nwbc/nwbc_ext2int.  When we look at the calling parameters (see below), only the Document Number (DOKNR) field is being passed.  Shouldn't the Document Type, Document Part, and Document Version be part of the call?    

    Hi Steven,
    I don't know what version of SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer being used, however please can you make sure you are using the most up to date version and patch level available via the SAP Service Marketplace and reassess the issue above again thanks. If this does not resolve I would advise you to create an Incident in the SAP Support Portal under component CA-VE-VWR (Embedded Viewer)

  • SAP standard example for Side Panels?

    Hiya,
    I've read up about side panels (thank you to all those who've written the lovely blogs!) and I think they look great!
    I'm so excited about them that I'd like to demonstrate the functionality to our business - hopefully to convince them that NWBC, and side panels, are the way forward for their power users.
    I was hoping to use a SAP delivered side panel - would anyone know how/where SAP has a standard example side panel that I could use for demonstration purposes?
    Thanks!

    Thanks everyone!
    In the end transaction BSSP_CONTENT seemed the most useful but now I'm a little stuck on how to proceed.
    I mean I found this side panel which I thought would be nice to show the power of NWBC:
    So I added it, and other roles, to my user via SU01:
    But when I go into VA02 I see no side panel?
    Obviously I'm missing something, would anyone know what?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • How to define Side Panels for linked to Child Window Applications

    We are trying to use the NWBC Side Panel with PPM 6.0 in NWBC 3.5.  We have a Role that has a menu defined that gives the users a link to the INM_WORKCENTER_APP which displays the current user's Tasks in a table.
    When we click on a task in the table it opens the task details using the CPROJECTS_FPM application in a new window.  This new window that opens up doesn't have any of the Side Panels that we have defined on the role with the main menu links.
    We have tried to add the side panel using different application alias and at different levels in the Role, but can't get a Side Panel to show up on the child window.  We even tried to switch the window to open INPLACE in the main window and it still switches to no side panels.  The only side panels we are able to see is side panels that the user has manually added under connections and the Data Context Viewer side panels.
    Is NWBC capable of having side panels to be defined to be available for these linked to child applications that are called from a main application screen?  If so, what is the possible configurations we need to make on the role for this to work properly?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Wanted to close this thread with the solution that worked for us.
    We had to change the Launchpad configuration for Role CPROJECTS Instance OIF.  We changed the Application from a Web Dynpro ABAP type to Object Based Navigation.  Set the Application Parameters Business Object to PROJECT and Operation to DISPLAY.
    Then for our role defined in PFGC for our NWBC, we added a new menu item to the Web Dynpro application CPROJECTS_FPM with Configuration CPROJECTS_FPM.  Then under Object Based Navigation we set the Object Type to PROJECT and Method to DISPLAY to match what we set above in the Launchpad.  Then set the menu item to be invisible since we didn't want it to show to users.
    Now when we launch the child window it uses OBN and sees the definition in our role and utilizes the same Side Panel definitions defined for the role.

    Hi,
    Webdynpro side panels provide a means to build side panels into webdynpro applications.
    NWBC side panels on the other hand are different and allow to include any web page Google Maps etc as side panels to your application.
    Both are two different things, make sure to watch out for these.

  • SAP Standard Side Panels don't show any data?

    Hiya,
    I'm using NWBC 4 (patch 12) on SAP 7.31 (Ehp 6, SP10) and I can't get any of the SAP delivered Side panels to show any data.
    This is typical of what I see, the side panel appears but all the data fields are empty:
    The charts don't work either(?) and show nothing...
    The only part of a side panel that I managed to get to works was in transaction VA03 and it was the chip to show 'company code' data - but that's not going to impress the business when I demonstrate this functionality to show them how great NWBC with side panels is...
    Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong do you think or has anyone else encountered this kind of problem?
    Thanks!

    Robert
      My 2 cents ...Either your basis team did not activate the parameter necessary for Side Panel or you have NOT perform the necessary Tagging  (aka Wiring).
      For the former (parameter), check the parameters setup as explain in the help file below.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/4c/5bdb8497817511e10000000a42189b/content.htm?frameset=/en/4c/5bdae497817511e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
      If this the is later (i.e. Tagging\Wiring)... That meant that the info from your SAPGUI main screen, has NOT been setup to pass the info to your side panel chip. Some of the standard SAP delivered Side Panel CHIP does requires you to perform your own tagging; and there's a security requirements. So before you start this ... Make sure that you have confirm the parameter had been setup correctly (section above); and you have as much of a security rights as possible.

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.

    How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
    It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
    But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
    Is there a solution for this??
    If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

  • Navigator View:  Slides have disappeared in side panel

    Hi,
    I typo'ed some bizarre set of keystrokes and the slides in the side panel disappeared from my Navigator view.
    When I open a new doc -- they exist in that file. I've tried all the obvious -- switching views over and over (ok maybe that is compulsive -- not obvious), preferences, etc....
    Any idea on how to make them come back? I was thinking about tossing my preference files -- but since the issue only exists in this presentation -- I am not sure that would do any good.
    Thanks,
    Ann

    Try removing any transitions or builds on these slides, or delete the slides then recreate them as fresh slides.
    There are many playback anomalies in Keynote 6 which Apple have said they will be  sorting out next year.

  • NWBC Side Panel and SAP GUI Scripting

    Hi,
    I was hoping someone might be able to clarify the SAP GUI scripting requirements for using the NWBC side panels. In the help documentation it states:
    As of NWBC 3.5 patch level 6 or NWBC 4.0 and SAP GUI 7.20 patch level 13 or 7.30 final release, it is no longer necessary to enable SAP GUI Scripting on the client PC, except if you are using Property Collector. That means, it is no longer necessary to enable front-end scripting through registry key (HKLM and HKCU) for using side panels in NWBC. However, it is still necessary to install SAP GUI Scripting and to enable it for the server (at least read-only).
    Some of our users are getting pop up messages that say "The scripting support is not installed"... interestingly they don't actually appear to be opening a side panel when they get this message.
    I noticed that these users don't actually have SAP GUI scripting installed at all, so not that it is just not enabled, it is not installed in these cases. So does the above section from the help documentation mean that SAP GUI scripting must be installed on the client PC but it does not actually have to be enabled?
    That's how I am currently reading it... but perhaps someone can clarify for me, or someone else has had a similar experience.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Hi Simon,
    As written in the documentation you quoted:

  • Client no in SAP Business System name.

    Hello All,
    I am currently working on naming for the SAP PI objects.
    In my previous SAP PI implementations I used naming like  SIDCLNTNO ( f.e. DPECLNT110 ) and SAP Recommends that as well. However we faced problem while pointing the different client to SAP PI sometimes in quality. For example my business system name is XXXCLNT110 in QA. But as they want to do some performance testing they wanted to point it to 900 client. At that time technically we can point it but logically it becomes wrong as scenario is still refering to 110 client (XXXCLNT110 ).
    So in my new project I am thinking of keeping business system name client independent. i.e. SAPERP_DEV. Let me know your views regarding the same ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Dijesh Tanna.

    Hi Dijesh ,
    But as they want to do some performance testing they wanted to point it to 900 client. At that time technically we can point it but logically it becomes wrong as scenario is still refering to 110 client (XXXCLNT110 ).
    ---> for me "performance checking " is related to "technical settings" only !!!
           It's the client No. which depicts the purpose of system like test ,Dev, Sandbox,....not other way !!! so logically also "SAPERP_DEV" is not  correct ...In this fashion you will be tight coupling the business system name with the business context !!! and the solution will not be scalable !!
    Consider a case where new ERP systems coming into the landscape
    will you name it SAPERP_DEV1...SAPERP_DEV2.......
    Hope my sincere views you would find useful !!

    Hi Suresh
    Thank you for the detailed response.  I tried your suggestions and neither works.
    LOV issue:
    Within the Business View manager, i right-click on the LOV object and click "Edit List of Values..." and i get a dialog box that only shows me Available fields, List of Value Fields used, description field, and Referenced objects. Along with buttons for Clear Instance & Refersh Status.
    I have read similar posts to what you suggested but never get to the same place as described.
    Please advise....
    as for _Max Number LOV _
    I have researched this as well and found the same suggestion you made. But the PRM file does not have that value, and the file contains all XML code
    Now what???
    Thanks
    Mike
