Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

SAP BW Report iView problem

Hi,
Im trying to create a SAP BW Report iView with a BEx URL, but Im getting an error:
Session Management will not work! Please check the DSM log file for details.
When I use the wizard (for SAP BW Report iView), it asks me to fill out the web application string. Here I pasted in the URL. I left the application parameters blank.
The BEx URL:
http://<hostname>/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=DA&bsplanguage=DA&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=WEB_TRAFIK_STARTSIDE
The BW call works fine in the browser and with a URL iView!?
EP 6.0 / WAS 6.40 / BW 3.5
Thanks
Joachim

you should be using BW Report iView.
and when you create BW Report iView pass the following for the querystring parameter
CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=WEB_TRAFIK_STARTSIDE
for this to work, in the system definition WAS host , was path and was protocol should be maintained

Issue in transaction code creation for sap query report .

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to create transaction codes for sap query reports. I found two ways to create transaction code for sap query report
1) By Generating program for sap query report and creation of transaction code for that generated Program. in tcode.
2) By using parameter transaction options in start object of se93
What are the difference between creation of these two ways. Please specify the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.

Suneel Kumar Uggina.

Transaction code for SAP query reports

Hi All,
I am trying to create transaction code for sap query report but couldn't go further.
1) Created User group in SQ03
2) Created infoset in SQ03 and assigned that to the user group
3) Created query in SQ01 using the infoset.
I executed the report in SQ01 and it is working fine.
Now I try to create a transaction code in SE93 using the steps mentioned in the following link:
Assign transaction code to SAP Query (created via SQ01)
But when try to execute the report using the transaction code, it is giving error message 'User group xxxxxx is not yet created'
Could any one advice me if I miss something? Or please help me to create this transaction code and transport to production?
Thanks in advance

HI,
based on the thread you've already mentioned:
In SE93, Create a Paramter Transaction
-> Transaction = Start_report
-> In default values, give the below details:
D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE = AQ
D_SREPOVARI-EXTDREPORT = Name of the Query
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT = User Group
So check if the user group is typed correct in SE93 and check also if the user group exits in the system where you are trying to run the transaction.
best regards, Christian

If you're in the Users pane of the server app, and you select Network Users from the drop-down near the top, there's a small padlock icon at the bottom. Is it locked or open? If locked, click it and enter credentials into the authorisation box that opens

Shame to remove Get Info option to change language for individual application!

Its a shame for Apple to remove the Get Info panel option to change language for individual application! For these days I used Leopard, where I had this option, now I bought a brand new mac, for a bunch of money, with Lion, and this option had disappeared. What's that? Apple is working on making more complicated the life of their users?

Thanks for your tip, but languageswitcher not set the language permanently just for the applications started from that application. Very inelegant and windows like way.
I used the terminal to set the defaults for individual application, but that is step back to the age of command line.
I spent with this problem 1 hour instead of 1 minutes. Big step back.

Issue with SAP BW Report Iview

Hi,
The issue stands with the context menu(right click menu)
I have created a BI Query and generated a BW Report with the Web Designer Wizard.
When I run the generated URL it is working fine, with the context menu also working perfectly.
However when I use that report in SAP BW Report Iview, the report gets opened perfectly but the context menu is taking me to a new page with those options.
As of now i do not know of any setting for context menu specially.
If anyone can help me or if anyone has encountered this error before, pl. let me know the solution.

Atul -- i am running into simillar issue. Please let me know if you found a solution for this.
Hi all -

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Change runtime for a specific report

Hi All,
I was wondering if it's possible to change the runtime limit for a specific report in SAP. So for example if the general runtime limit is set to 20 mins, can I change this to 45 mins for one specific report?
Thanks.
Manu.

Hi,
I dont think it is possible to change the runtime for a single report. By runtime, i mean runtime in foreground.
It is a BASIS setting and will be allied to ALL reports.
Contact your BASIS admin for further clarifications.

Problem: Changing Language for Web Dynpro Java within NW Portal (i18n)

Hi Experts out there,
I hope all you had a nice Christmas and a big New Years Eve :)!!!
i got a challenge for you about WD Java and internationalization (i18n)
Here is the scenario:
We are using a SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 and my task is to implement some smaller Web Dynpro Applications.
These Applications must be i18n conform, so i just created (according to the corresponding WD Java tutorial) some ".xlf" files.
Okay...Everything is working fine. The user can log at the portal and the application is displayed in his language, which is "english" or "german". (the application is just a simple form)
So far so good...Now here comes the point where it's getting tricky...
When the user wants to change his assigned language (of the portal user) he can use the "personalize" button in the Masthead (-> change portal language). All the portal content should now be displayed in his new chosen language.
For example the user is logged into the portal with "german" as portal language and now changes his languages settings into "english". After this everything in the portal (navigation, portal iViews ) is displayed in the changed language (from english into german) ...
BUT: my Web Dynpro Java Application stays as the original languages setting was. That means the whole portal is now english, but my WD Java Appl. stays german .
Only if the user logs of and logs in again, the WD Java Appl. is displayed in the corresponding portal language...
VERY Strange?!?!
Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?
I guess i have to re-initiate the Web Dynpro Application some how ...(like killing the application and restarting it ...) but is just a "weak guess"...
Any Help / Hint is more than welcome !!!
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
This correct see SAP Note [947081|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947081]
If the locale for the Web Dynpro iView is changed in the portal (through portal personalization), this is not reflected in the running login session. The user needs to logoff and login again, in order to see the locale change in the Web Dynpro iView.

Leo
