SDK Extension Incompatibility

Hello all,
I have been working lately with Design Studio SDK and have managed to create a couple of customised components.
(Thanks Michael Howlesfor your great examples)
With the latest component have developed, I am getting a very weird behaviour.
The component consists of a Date Picker (Calendar object) that allows you to set "Selectable Dates" so the user can only select valid dates (e.g. dates with relevant data associated to it)
I based my component on an existing calendar found online (glDatePicker) and I just integrated it to Design Studio.
Despite the normal minor development hurdles and issues, I managed to develop a component that did what I wanted.
However, when I implemented it in Design Studio (Version 1.2 SP1), it works fine excepting when I combine it with a Design Studio chart.
Here are a couple of screenshots of the component working fine:
In Design Studio:
This is the component in action
However, when I try to add a chart to the application, it doesn't work:
This is the error I get
The text of the error is:
Error message: Object doesn't support property or method 'substring' Line Number: 118742 Pos: 13 Function: function addSlash(path) { var tmpArr
I have searched for this error online and haven't found any valuable help.
The fact that the issue only appears when I combine a chart and my Date Picker in the same application is what puzzles me the most.
I have attached to this discussion:
- The component files as copied from my workspace (com.sample.datepicker.zip), and
- The deployable feature (DatePicker.zip)
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Carlos

Thanks Michael for your suggestion.
It makes a lot of sense, given the behaviour I am getting.
Unfortunately, I still have a couple of questions, regarding how to solve this issue:
- How can I make the glDatePicker prototype functions not affect the Chart Libraries? Will renaming them do the trick? is there any other way to make sure the stay within the scope of the glDatePicker element?
- Should I look for another calendar component online?
(excuse my ignorance, I am not a very experienced javascript developer)
I will try modifying the component along the lines above in any case, but I would appreciate some confirmation that I am on the right track.
Thanks again!

SDK Extension in SAP Netweaver Mode

Hi Guys,
I created an SDK extension which is running fine in Local Mode but when I execute the application on SAP Netweaver Portal I get an error ""ITEM" of type "dashboard_ext" could not be generated". Can some one tell me if it is possible to run SDK Extension on SAP Netweaver Portal?
Thanks and best regards.

System-wide installation of SDK extensions possible?

Hi all,
did any of you ever try to install SDK extensions in a way that they are available to all users of the same machine?
By default, SDK extensions installed on a client PC are only available to the installing user. The SDK documentation states: "The components are stored under <user home directory>\Analysis-config."
One of our clients has the following scenario:
A big development machine where Design Studio is installed is accessed remotely by different users using separate user accounts. Although SDK extensions are installed on the BI Platform where development takes place, each user has to install the same extensions separately on the development machine in order to be able to change applications on the BI Platform. I suppose this is due to the fact that you should be able to run the applications locally (play button in Design Studio) and therefore need a working setup on the client machine.
The question is if there is a way to make the extensions available to all users in one installation step - maybe by running Design Studio as system administrator?
Many thanks!
Daniel

I have a thought, although not a fully formed solution. You might be able to leverage some Windows functionality to copy the files for you. I'm not a Windows expert, and haven't messed with Active Directory for several years now, but I suspect you might be able to use Windows policies to copy the files to the directory the first time a new user logs on to the machine. It may be possible to set something up for users who have already logged into the machine, but I don't know off the top of my head.
You may be able to drop the Analysis-config directory into the Default directory under Users. I'm not sure if this will be copied to new profiles, but I believe it will. I also don't know if the contents of Analysis-config have any values that are specific to a given user, but it might work. It also might cause issues with the server, so no warranties on this approach.

Eclipse SDK Extension with DS

Hi,
I have installed the SAP DS sdk samples components and eclipse in my machine. I have configured the sample SDK components in Eclipse and i am able to run the eclipse and call the Design studio and the sample components are displayed in the Design studio saved the report in my favorites Bi platform.
Now closed the eclipse, and opened the design studio and tried to open the report in my favorites which i saved,the reports open but it displayed the error saying that need to install or update the listed extension to see the added sdk sample components.
Please help me out the steps to install the SDK Sample components in Design Studio directly. I have tried in tools install extension to design studio and the file i have selected is the SDK sample. zipped file(DS_12_SDK_SAMPLES.zip! it throws the error
Pop up message : Failed to discover all connectors

Guys.
This is at least the 5th time I've seen people having this problem. You cannot ever simply install the SAP SDK .ZIP source files to Design Studio without putting them in an Eclipse Feature Project so that you can bundle them in a bundled, deployable form.
This means you must do that yourself. Please review section 3.3 of the SDK Guide which explains step by step how you must do this:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AAD13/en/ds13SP01_dev_guide_en.pdf
Please, please, please read the documentation.
Depending on who is releasing these SDK extensions, some people choose to provide the source only, and other people will provide the source, and a pre-bundled version. SAP has only released the source projects so you have more work to do.
Not everybody is an SDKer so I have opted to pre-bundle anything I give out. (I'd do it for SAP's examples, too but it's not my work.)

DS 1.2 SDK extension component cause APS running with error

By following DS Administrator Guide Section 6.1.3, we are able to successfully deploy the extension to the BI platform (BO 4.1 SP2 version 14.1.2.1121) from the DS design tools.
However, after restarting Adaptive Processing Servers, it state become "Running with Errors".
By checking the properties, the error came from Analysis Application Service "Unable to initialize service. LogID:"
With this error, attempt to execute a simple DS analysis application (e.g. standard desktop blank template - blank page) on BI platform will result in error.
"A session with the Application Service could not be established."
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

Uninstall the SDK extension and restart the APS will bring everything back to normal. Have tried others SDK extension package and all give the same problem.

Upload of Design Studio SDK extension to BI platform failed

Hi Design Studio (SDK) friends,
I created my own extension via Design Studio 1.3 SDK. It works fine in local mode. Than I uploaded it to our BI platform by using the menu entry "platform extensions" in Design Studio. Nice, it works, even on iPad.
Because of some changes we undeployed / removed this extension from the BI platform (vie Design Studio 1.3).
Now, after correcting the extension we would like to upload it again, but it is not possible. Following error message is shown:
"One or more extensions failed to install
Failed to access plugin JAR file of extension "myOwnExtension" (id: de.mycompany.myOwnExtension)"
Other extensions can still uploaded. System is going to undeploy them and reinstall them without any error.
The extension, which could not be uploaded, works fine in local mode. The correction changes were small, like changes in css-file and in the component.js-file.
Do you have any idea, why the system could not access to the plugin JAR file?
Many thanks for your helping and support.
Kind regards
Patrick

Hello together,
I could solve this issue by myself.
I found following discussion:
Issue with Design Studio SDK 1.2 Component development
Because design studio uninstalled my own extension not correctly the *.jar file was missing in the folder:
C:\Users\<myUser>\Analysis-config\plugins
and could not found, while uploading the extension to BIP.
Steps for solving:
1. uninstalling the extension
2. deleting all files in the folder (see above)
3. reinstalling the extension
4. uploading the extension to BIP (it work again)
Kind regards and thanks to all, who thought about my problem.

Unable to open sdk extension google map in design studio 1.3

Hi,
i registered all sdk components into design studio client tool after i try to use google map and drag into my application however nothing happened just keep loading for a long time, even i used google api key within jsiclude: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=mygoogleapikey&sensor=false
but nothing happened, anybody who solve this issue?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Emre,
i've experienced the same problem.
First make sure that you've included the api key in both jsiclude parts. The first is for the map without data and the second for maps with data. Save the contribution.xml and run the application (google maps sdk) which will open design studio. Then drag the map into your application and save it. Close both Eclipse and DS and reopen your application again. It should now work..... Maybe there is a better way to do, but it worked for me.
Regards

SDK extensions not available anymore after Design Studio re-installation

Hi all
I've faced some issues with my local installation and was wondering if it was due to the fact that my local installation was 1.2.1 while the platform was 1.2. So I've decided to uninstall 1.2.1 and install 1.2 again locally.
Once done, I don't see extensions anymore in the designer (Design Studio Utility Pack for instance) and if I try to install it again it says it's already installed...
Where can I go to delete these extensions completely and re-install them properly?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

If all else fails, delete your 'Analysis Config' folder is the short answer.
You can also clean up old/invalid repo archives in debug mode but that's a longer answer.

Extension Manager CC Release Notes. Extension Developer SDK broken link.

It seems that the Extension Developer SDK > 'Extension Developer Guide' link points to the old (i.e. CS6) document: “EXTENSION MANAGER CS6 CONFIGURATION REFERENCE TECHNICAL NOTE”. Is there any chance this will be fixed soon?
Thanks,

Thanks for the info,
BTW, Will be the SDK documentation for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign updated as well?
Thanks,

FYI: Extension Builder project w/ LCDS: channel-definition endpoint having context.root

This is an FYI of an issue and its workaround.
If developing a CS SDK Extension in Flash Builder / Extension Builder and the project is configured to use LCDS (LiveCycle DataServices), then if your services-config.xml contains Channel definitions having the variable {context.root} in the endpoint URL, then the following error will occur. This will happen even if you are not using that Channel in your Destination channel list.
The services-config.xml laid down when using LCDS integrated into ColdFusion has by default some channel definitions using context.root in the endpoint URLs.   This is how I encountered the issue. On the other hand, the free developer edition of LCDS on Tomcat puts down a services-config.xml that does not have any reference to {context.root} in channel definitions, so the problem will not be encountered there.
Since I was not using a context root (was using the default of just "/"), I commented out the offending channels in services-config.xml to resolve the issue. One could also leave the (unused) channel definitions and then remove the {context.root} part from the endpoint.
ERROR
The services configuration includes a channel-definition 'java-amf' that has an endpoint with a context.root token but a context root has not been defined. Please specify a context-root compiler argument.
CHANNEL DEFINITION

        <channel-definition id="java-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/amf" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
        </channel-definition>

Make sure your context root is defined in the project properties. This is at "project/properties/Flex Server" from the menubar or package explorer context menu. Alternately, you can hardcode your context root in the services-config.xml file/channel definition.

Extension not showing up with mixed versions of CS

Hi,
My client has CS 5.1 for all the apps except for InDesign which is CS 5.5. They installed and re-installed our CS SDK extension which is built for PS, IL and ID. While they can see the extension and load it in PS and IL, they are unable to see the extension in ID at all under Window > Extensions. Is a mixed version of CS not supported for CS SDK extensions? is there any other way to troubleshoot this problem without having them to re-install CS?
thanks for any help in this regard.

See if my answer here helps.

SDK on the BO platform - installation, updates, security

Hi everybody,
i´ve some pretty important questions regarding SDK Extensions and their installation on a BO platform. I´m really interested in your thoughts and opinions and hope for your answers.
1) Could SDK components force a BOE server crash?
Currently, i would say 'no'. From my point of view the sdk component runs completely on the client and only the properties are managed by the server. So as i understand, it´s not possible at all to force a server crash by the component due to the whole sdk-architecture. The only thing a bad designed component could do is to crash the client. Am i right or is there anything i haven´t considered?
And what do you think of sdk regarding security?
2) Installing SDK Extensions on the BI platform without restarting the server?
Is it possible to install a sdk component on the BO platform without doing a server restart? Restarting the server for every deployment might be a real problem in big environments with thousands of users and a guaranteed uptime.
3) SDK extensions and BOE platform updates
What do you think about SDKs in reference to regular BO platform updates? Is there any risk in using sdk components? I´ve heard of concerns, that platform updates might lead to non-working components (e.g. due to interface changes etc.) and a high risk of maintenance efforts. How do you see this point/risks?
I look forward to reading your answers and points of view. Thanks so far!
King regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
my experience is
1) Can components crash the server?
with faulty javaScript this will not happen, a however faulty ztl can do this, as it causes Java classes to be generated. Maybe it just crashes the session though, not the whole service. With a faulty xml descriptor I am not sure, maybe the xml validator makes that part safe.
2) Server restart necessary?
You only need to restart the APS Service in the CMC for Design Studio, no other parts of the server.
3) BO platform update
I expect the SDK to maintain a high degree of forward compatibility. The API design is very well thought out and generic. Therefore this risk is very small in my opinion.
Best Regards
Jörg

SDK sample components (DS_14SP02_SDK_SAMPLES) into DS

Hi all
Has anyone managed to create archive extension files for the newest SDK components that can be installed to Design Studio 1.4? I am thinking of the components ConstantDataSource, CSVDataSource, Jsongrabber, SimpleCrosstab and SimpleTable. As far as I have understood we need to follow the SDK guide (chapter 3: Creating an SDK Extension) to create these files our self but we are not able so far. I hope that some else has managed to create some of these archive extension files? In that case, are any of you willing to share? :-)
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Erick, Do you mean, You wanted this components to be packaged so that you can directly install it into the DS.
Actually packaging its quite easy if you follow the guide properly

SAP Design Studio SDK Editing

Hi,
I am an SAP BIBO consultant. One month before I started using Design Studio 1.2.
Is there any document that will help in BIAL coding???.
Can anyone please show me from the scratch how I can edit the existing standard components in the Design Studio through SDK. I have tried up the addition of Custom components(Colored Box, Google Maps) in Design Studio. That worked fine. But my issue in modifying or editing existing components. How I can import those standard components to Eclipse and how to start editing???
Also one more thing, please show me from where I can download the UI Development Kit (SAP UI5) for Design Studio 1.2. and how to install the same.
I am using,
Eclipse Helios
JDK 1.6
Please help me in this........
Regards,
Arun Krishnan.G

Hi Arun,
In answer to your questions:
1. You can learn about BIAL scripting through the following resources:
Design Studio Application Designer Guide
Design Studio Tutorials
Getting Started with SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio
Design Studio e-book
2. It is not possible to modify the functionality of the standard Design Studio components via the SDK. You can however modify the appearance of standard components by applying CSS as shown in this tutorial video.
3. You do not need to download the UI5 Development Kit to incorporate UI5 controls into SDK components. To access a UI5 control you need to develop the component using Handler Type "sapui5". The approach is described in Section 6 SDK Extensions Using SAPUI5 Controls of the Developer Guide. You can also download the SDK Templates and Samples which include UI5 examples.
Regards,
Mustafa.
