SAP Visual Composer tool

Hi,
My portal team is currently developing some reports using the SAP Visual Composer tool. How do we make a BW cube or ODS available for VC to see?
They can currently see only a few of the cubes, but we don't know how those are visible to VC and not others.
Thanks
PM

PM,
i dont believe we can see cubes or ods thru VC, but only queries. if what you say is true, then its probably due to the user authorizations on BW. the userId you use in portal is normally mapped to a userId in the BW system. chck the userID that you're mapped to (in BW bckend) has the relevant authorizations to view those cubes etc.

What is advantage of using Visual Composer In SAP

Hi friends,
please tell me what is advantage of using visual composer in SAP.
and please give me basic notes to understand Visual Composer.
I Don't have any idea about this topic.
please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,
SAP Visual Composer is a browser based, graphical modeling tool that - by reusing existing data services like RFCs, web services, queries, query-views, tables - allows creating business applications with both transactional and analytical services seamlessly integrated. In addition it gives modelers the choice to select the UI technology and build user interfaces.

BI SAP Query Connector Heatmap Error - Empty display in Visual composer

Hi,
I am trying to create an Heatmap iview in SAP Visual Composer using BI SAP Query Connector.
While using the Heatmap template, we are able to see the data but finally when we deploy and run the iview we see empty screen.
Any inputs is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sreeram

Hi,
thanks for your time and help. Its a relevant blog but unfortunately doesnot solve my problem.
I am using BI SAP Query Connector system instead of BI JDBC. While creating the Heatmap I am able to select the fields and see the output in table format, but finally the chart is not appearing. its blank.
IGS is configured correctly, able to reach backend to select tables, select fields. After deployment and when the ivew is run I dont even see any heatmap, but a blank container.
Please suggest if you have any clues regarding this.

Passing output of one iView as input to another iView using Visual Composer

Hi
I need urgent help. Is it possible to pass data from one iView to another using the Visual Composer tool. If it is how? Does anyone have an example or know where I can find one.
Here is my example:
I have created one Page with two iViews on the page. In the first iView i have a Bapi that accepts an ID number of a business partner as input and returns details like Name, Surname , title etc as well as the SAP Business Partner Number. The second Iview uses a Bapi that returns the Address details of the business partner.My problem is that I need to use the Business Partner Number from the first iView as the input into the second iView. Is this possible using Visual Composer? There will be a series of additional all bringing back different details of the same Business Partner and will need to use the same Business Partner Number.
Please advise me if this is possible using VC or if not suggest an alternative way of doing it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards
Yusuf Gangat

Yes you can do this.
You can use ports (Signals) for this.
In order to explaing this, I will call the 1st iView - the source iView and the 2nd one - the target iView.
1. In the source iView create an "Out Port" from the form or table where you have the details you want passed. Name it anyway you want (in the Properties task pane).
2. In the target iView create an "Input Port" and connect it to the input of the BAPI you want run.
3. Make sure that both ports have exactly the same name (it's case sensitive). and the same fields.
4. Deploy the 2 iViews to the portal, put them in the same page.
Data should be transferred now between the iViews.

Create a sequence of actions in the toolbar button in Visual Composer

Hi!
I've a problem with the toolbar buttons in visual composer. On a table, I would like to have one button which launch 2 actions. For example, I want to call an event (custom action) and after that I want to select a row in another table (system action, select).
It works fine when I create 2 buttons with the toolbar buttons but my wish is to have only one button with several actions (like a sequence of actions). Is it possible?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Ronan,
I think you can achieve your requirement by creating the Wizard in SAP Visual Composer.
The following link provides the detailed steps to Create the Wizard in SAP VC.

Three questions about visual composer?

Hi all,
1. what is the relationship between "visual composer and "visual composer BI kit"? what else elements do we need to add on top of visual composer in order to make visual composer BI kit?
2. If we only do visual composer, the only thing we can't accomplish is the BI query wizard in visual compuser menu, right?
3. After creating backend SAP BW system connection via BI JAVA CONNECTOR, why do we still need to create backend SAP BW system connection via SAP BI CONNECTOR?
I went through Scott Cairncross' PDF file "Know how network call SAP Visual Composer & BI kit" and have the three questions above.
George

ad 1) BI Kit is a kind of plugin to VC (like the plugins in Eclipse). Today VC and BI Kit are shipped together. Once you have VC, you also have the BI Kit.
ad 2) BI Kit offers:
- connectivity to JDBC, ODBO, XMLA, SAP Query and SAP BI directly
- BI Integration Wizard (to create models in a wizard style)
- MDX, SQL Editors
ad 3) The "direct" BI connection uses RFC-calls to BI and offers you more features, like Variables, Queries, query-views, infoobjects, favourites, history, URL port, etc. You can also connect to a SAP BI system via the XMLA-connector. A relational connector (like it is done in the portal) would only give you access to masterdata (infoobjects), but not infocube data.

Hello,
We now understand that we have to create the model and it's development component first in the local repository. When the model is complete and tested, we can add it, along with the development component, to either source control or shared repository, depending on the configuration.
We will proceed, as described in SAP's documentaion https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-104577.
