Using Guest user for Visual Composer

Hi everybody,
Can we use "guest" or one unique portal user to show a report from VC to everyone?
Thanks...

Hi,
No it hasn't... We are talking about the main server part of VC and it haven't been changed for quite a while.
In order to get this functionality, you need to set the permissions on the VC broker (the server part) to accept requests from a guest user. This causes a very big security hole in your application, because this means that anyone can run BAPIS/WebServices/JDBC SP on your data.

Natty

  • Adding a parameter for Visual Composer

    i want to add a parameter called vc.bi.sqleditorenabled for Visual Composer
    i read that use this  parameter in visual Administrator.
    Pls tell me how can i do  it

    Hi Balaji
    SQL and MDX Editor functionality is available in Visual Composer in the following ways:
    ● On the BI → SQL Editor and BI → MDX Editor menus.
    ● In the workspace, from the context menu of a relational or OLAP query from a data
    service defined using one of the BI Java Connectors mentioned above.
    ● In the MDX Statement and SQL Statement fields on the input ports of corresponding
    data services, which allow you to send query statements to the databases.
    For security purposes, the SQL and MDX Editor functionality is turned off by default in Visual
    Composer. Therefore, if you try to access it, the following message is displayed: You are not
    authorized to use this functionality.
    To enable SQL and MDX Editor functionality, use the following parameters in the Visual
    Administrator:
    ● vc.bi.sqlEditorEnabled - SQL Editor and SQL Statement from input port are visible
    ● vc.bi.mdxEditorEnabled - MDX Editor and MDX Statement from input port are visible
    Change document logging is not available with the SQL or MDX Editors; only
    database logging (SQL Editor) or OLAP server logging (MDX Editor) is
    available.
    Warning:
    Significant caution should be taken when using the SQL and MDX Editor
    functionality, to avoid the potential for corrupting data and to prevent users from
    viewing data that they are not authorized to see.
    To prevent potential security risks, we urge the database administrator to restrict
    user authorization on any data source defined on the portal using the BI JDBC
    Connector, BI ODBO Connector, or BI XMLA Connector. We recommend that
    you set the proper authorizations for your users on the database level, and that
    you use dialog users (individual database user names) for user mapping on the
    portal.
    Note that if you enable this functionality and save models that expose SQL and
    MDX statement fields on the input ports of data services, these fields, and hence
    the potential security risks, will persist in the models even if you later disable this
    functionality. In addition, the fields persist in models that you export and import
    into a Visual Composer system in which the functionality is disabled. We therefore
    recommend you carefully consider security risks before enabling this functionality.

  • Creating web service system for Visual Composer

    Hello,
    I seem to have made some changes that made my unable to create web service systems for Visual Composer. 
    The change I made is in NetWeaver Administration > Configuration > Application Resources > WebServicesFactory, I added the Configuration Property "UseCacheByDefault" with Boolean value = true. 
    After this, if I create a web service system in Enterprise Portal, the Connection Tests fail.  In Visual Composer when I define a web service system, the error I am getting is: "Connector Factory not found for value WebServicesFactory".
    I have tried to delete the UseCacheByDefault property I added as well as restart the server but I am still getting the error.
    However when I test my web service using the Web Services Navigator, I am not getting any problems.  So my guess is the problem lies with the connection factory.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Since creating WS system in the portal resulted with failed connection test, the issue has nothing to do with VC.
    I'm just guessing, but try to configure proxy in the J2EE engine.
    If that doesn't help I suggest you raise this question in the portal forum.
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    There is loads of stuff out there on visual composer.  Have a look at this link:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/VisualComposer7.0
    VC is supposed to allow employees with limited technical skills created web based applications which can then be used in the portal.  You do need some technical knowledge but it is more easier than developing code.

  • Future for Visual Composer

    A consultant told our department manager that SAP was not going to enhanse Visual Composer; that it would only get bug fixes.  I think he may have confused 7.0 with 7.1/7.2.  Is there a future for Visual Composer or is it a waste of time.

    Hi John,
    I found this presentation from TechEd 2010 that says that VC lives on in CE.

  • Business scenario for Visual Composer

    Dear All:
    I have been searched for the document about SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer. Mostly they are about IT scenario and features. We heard that it is highly-graphic supported, code-free and provide modeling for business logic. But we are looking for clear ideas about what is the business scenario it can be applied and what s the best circumstance to recommend business users use visual composer. Can anyone provide us documents or idea about it?
    Thank you very much
    S.F

    Hi Szu-Fen,
    as you already mentioned, VC is designed for code-free applications. These applications normally consume data from different sources and visualize this information in an "easy to understand" manner. They are called management cockpits. An example for such a management cockpit can be found here:
    http://www.cubeserv.com/produkte/visual_composer/visual_composer_ss2_de_k.gif
    Hopefully this gives you an idea of the purpose of VC.

  • Any alternative for Visual Composer?

    Dear all,
    The new version of Visual Composer are very attractive due to the use of Macromedia Flex technology. However, it seems still not avaliable now. So, I would like to ask if there is any alternative to Visual Composer that:
    a) has an attractive user interface, and
    b) able to get realtime data from, for example, BW by means of connector?
    Please help me....THANKS A LOT!
    Best regards,
    Marcus

    Hi Ignacio,
    Thanks for your reply!
    BI Java Connector can only extract real time information from BW.
    However, what I want is an applcation which I can extract real time information from BW and then can generate some financial reports (through some pre-configuration) using those extrected information.
    Visual Composer (VC) can do so with very attractive output (i.e. the financial report). However, VC is not mature enough and that's why I would like to look for some other mature alternative.
    Is there any application can achieve such purpose?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Marcus
