SAP delivered Side Panel example

Hiya,
I've read up about side panels and I'd just like to demonstrate the functionality to our business - hopefully to convince them that NWBC is 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!

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.
Regards,
John

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.

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!

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)
Kind regards,

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".

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

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 n

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.

9KE0 Reposting profit centre u2013 SAP delivered Layout?

We are trying to repost profit centre for incorrect posting of profit centre entries in 9KE0. There is no SAP delivered layout available in the layout field. This may have been our first attempt of doing reposting for PCA in 9KE0. Anyone knows the name of SAP delivered layout or form so I can import them from client 000? Appreciate any help.

Hi,
if you call 9KEJ, all the available standard layouts will be displayed. You can use one depending on what
characteristic you need. For example: you can use 8A-001, if you only need characteristics profit center and account.
You can also use the transactions 9KES (also 9KET) to define your own layouts for the postings.
There you can only choose the fields which are in table GLPCT and also in structure RPCAC80.
So only this field will be activated forthe layout in 9KE0.

Greta

Are there any SAP delivered screens in infotypes for different countries

HI,
I am looking if they have any SAP delivered interfaces for diiferent infotypes. e.g. diffrent screen for MExico or Brazil for IT 0002. Please let me know,
Thanks,
Rashmi

Dear Rashmi,
In IMG (SPRO) under
Personal Management -> Personal Administration -> Customizing Procedures -> Infotypes -> Assign infotypes to countries
If the Country-Dependent Subtypes indicator is set for the infotype in view T777D Infotypes - Dialog/Database Assignment, you can also specify the permissibility of Subtypes for country infotypes.
At the moment, this indicator can only be used for infotypes whose subtypes are defined in the Subtype Characteristics view (V_T591A).
Examples:
Itype Itype text   Type Descript.   Cntgrp   Descript.    Status
0006 Addresses    J2 Guarantor      22       Japan       permitted
0012 Tax Data D    * all subtypes    01      Germany      permitted
There is no entry for the Personal Data infotype (0002). This means the infotype is permitted for all country groupings.
In the Addresses infotype (0006), the subtype Guarantor (J2) is only allowed for Japan. All other subtypes are permitted for all country groupings.
The Tax Data D (0012) infotype is only permitted for country grouping Germany. Other countries cannot access this infotype.

Naveen.

How to call a BI Query (side panel) with selections provided by "tags"?

With regards to my previous post (has anyone already successfully integrated their own BI report in a side panel?) we're still not there yet. What we actually would like to do is call a BI Query in the side panel and have the variable for that report filled automatically via "wiring" (using a tag).
Basically we have a BI Query on a Transient Provider which "calculates" a couple of key figures with regards to a document number (shipment). The reason being before a shipment is to be "sent out" it should meet a couple of requirements (which are not immediately visible within the standard screens) concerning (sales) value, weight, etc...
We have successfully "tagged" the shipment number in the transactions concerned (VT01N - VT03N). Now, as per my previous post if we just add the BI Query as an analytic list component (WDC_BS_ANLY_LIST_ALV) we seem to be getting errors (as the variable is not passed on). To avoid the error, we have added a search component (FPM_SEARCH_UIBB).
So, now we get a "selection screen" in which we manually need to fill a shipment number and when we do, the results are correctly displayed.
Obviously, we would like to have this "variable" assignment to be done automatically via the tag.
What are we missing here?

found this document on using the FPM_SEARCH_UIBB http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f07c2765-4ee8-2e10-759b-ea7429a430bb?QuickLink=index&…
if only such a (extremely detailed) document would exits on passing on the "tag" to the BI query variable (as that is not as straight forward)

Enabling ALV in SAP delivered reports

Is there a way to "enable" ALV in some SAP delivered reports? Functionals are asking for this feature. See below:
Brazil has enabled the ALV grid control on some of the SAP canned reports. Example: tcode ME2L. Our corporate purchasing associates like this feature and would like to have it turned on in our SAP instance. Can you [ ]see the extent of the work that it would take to turn this on for this report?

Gary,
in the selection screen press F4 on field [Scope of list]. In the dialog press the create button. Than you will go to customizing through project or without project.
Than you could define scope of list. In the definiton you could customize the settings for ALV grid.
After that you have to select the scope of list at running the report.

SAP delivered ESS/MSS services

Hi Gurus
What are all the standard SAP delivered ESS/MSS services available for Indian market in ERP 2005.
Regards,
Samba.

Hi,
I assume, your portal language and also all the tabs and even all the MSS services which are based on Java (par files) are in French and all the WebDynpro services (almost all of the ESS services) are still in English.
If that is the case, some of the services of ESS only have English and German, basically because you probably are using the US version of the ESS services. For example essusaddr only has English and German. But some of other services (like the MSS services and ess~cat) have all the languages. If you still see English for those service, you can manually change the language in the iView property of your service if you have an iView for them.

Reporting cockpit - Side panel Problem

Hi All,
I am facing problem in getting values in side panel of portfolio item. All the graphs are blank.. I have some financial and capacity data planned for Item but its not getting showed up BCV standard queries.
Please tell me if anybody is aware of such solution to this problem. Do inform me if you want me to check something.

Hi Pramod;
Maybe you don't assigned a User Group to the dashboard and evaluations, so that's why you see in blanks.
Go to -> SAP BCV -> Evaluations -> click on any evalutions -> Other possibilities -> Define User Groups.
Hope this help you.
Best regards.

Webdynpro page builder with side panel

Dear all,
I have created a new page page with the webdynpro page builder and want to show also the side panel in this page.
For this I configured the side panel (always show on application start) and created also a configuration for the side panel which contains a diagram.
1) But always when I start the page in the internet explorer NO SIDEPANEL is shown. I also don't know how user should open the side panel because there is no button.
2) I have in my page a dashboard chip - is it possible to call side panel over navigation target?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Christoph

Hi,
Check this help to start side panel: Creating Side Panels - Web Dynpro for ABAP - SAP Library
And refer this blog series for CHIP: CHIPs, PageBuilder and the Side Panel - Part 1
hope this helps u,

How do I change the text on a label for a SAP delivered WD view

Hi,
I need to change the text that is being displayed for a label in a SAP delivered WD ABAP View. When I look at the properties for this label, the Text property is currently empty, so I assume that the text that is being displayed in the view is coming from the dictionary. I was hoping to change the text of the label via the Enhancement Framework. I created an OTR entry, then went into SE80 for the WD Component, I navigated to the view in question, I pressed the Enhance button and entered $OTR:<package>/<alias name> in the text property for the label. Finally I saved and activated and was prompted to create an Enhancement Implementation, which I did and I selected it. Everything seems to be fine (no errors or warnings). I then ran the WD application. My change was not there. I then went back into SE80 for the WD Component that I created the enhancement. I navigated to the View and looked in the text property of the label and saw that my change was not there. I repeated this process several times and each time when I added the OTR entry to the text property of the label, it saves and activates without issue (in enhancement mode), but when I run the WD App the change does not show up and when I go back to the WD View, my change to the text property is gone. I know that if I really wanted to I could register the object and add the OTR entry to the text attribute of the label, but I am trying to perform this change using a modification free enhancement. Can this be done via an Enhancement, or do I have to register the object and make my change using a modification?

Hi Gregg,
excellent question. I had the same problem as well before.
What I have learned is that you cannot change a UI Element via Enhancements.
You can add new UI Elements (e.g. new label) or remove existing elements, but you cannot change them (except the layout properties (e.g. colspan) maybe).
The only possibilities I see is
1. Remove the existing label, and add a new label with your desired text
2. Do it as a modification
3. Do it as a configuration (This means you go to the webdynpro application in SE80, right click and select "Create/Change Configuration)
4. Do it as customizing (This means you add the URL parameter sap-config-mode=X to the URL, navigate to the label, right click on it, and select "Change Settings for Current Configuration").
The disadvatages of 3) and 4) are
- texts in configurations and customizing are not translatable (as far as I know)
- if you have multiple configurations, you have to change the label multiple times
Hope this helps a bit,
Daniel
