Variable missing in portal

We publish all BI reports in portal. We have moved one query from development to production. I have checked this query in BEx Analyzer and ran the query through Web analyzer(Ctrl+R). The report is working fine. The report has a user entry variable
Now i shared the technical to portal team, they created an iview and published the report.
The report is assigned to couple of users. When they access this report, they are not getting the variable screen.
When i check with portal team they say the problem on BI side. But on BI side we are getting variable in BEx Analyzer and Web Analyzer.
Does anyone have any clues on missing variable.

Dear Murali,
Can you please share how you solved this issue as we too face it. I have raised a question on this at EIF-General.
Thanking you in advance.

Shared variable, missing data, the same timestamp for two consecutively data

hello
I have a problem with missing data when I read from a network published shared variable.
Host VI:
In a host VI on my Laptop (HP with WinXP Prof.) i'm writing data to the shared Variable "data". Between two consecutively write operations is a minimum of Milliseconds waiting time. I use that because I want to be sure that the timestamp for each new data value is different then the preview one (resolution shared variables is 1 ms)
Target VI:
the Target VI on a cRIO-9012 realtime device is reading only new data in the way that it compares the timestamp of a new value with the timestamp from the last value.
Problem:
rarely, I'm missing a datapoint (sometimes everything works fine for several hours, transferring thousands of data correctly before suddenly the failure happens). With some workaround I'm able to catch the missing data. I've discovered that the missing data has the exactly same timestamp then the last readed datapoint, therefore is ignored in my "legal" data.
To sum up, the missed value is written to the shared variable in the host, but the target ignores him because his timestamp is wrong, respectively the same as the last value has, despite the host waits every time for a minimum of 10 milliseconds before writing a new value.
Note:
The shared Variable is hosted on the Laptop and configured using buffering.
The example is simplified only to show the principle function, in real I use also a handshaking and I secure that there is no over- and underflow.
Simplified Example:
Question:
Has someone an idea why two consecutively data can have the same timestamp ?
Where is the (wrong) timestamp finally coming from (system?) ?
What would be a possible solution (at the moment with shared Variables) ?
-> I tried a workaround with clusters where each data gets a unique ID. It works but it is slower than comparing timestamps and I could get performance problems.
Would it change something when I host the shared Variable on the RT-System ?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Reto
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Reto,
I had a look on your modified Example.
Because the Shared Variables didn`t work like Queues or Notifiers (No Event or Interrupt when a new value has been written. And for sure the´re not possible over a network) you will see the issue, that the code is reading the values more often with the same timestamp (Polling Problematic) if the reader is faster then the writer. And because the timestamp is written with the value you´re able to program like you do. Filter out whats duplicated when you have the same timestamp.
Everything is described in here:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4679#toc1
Laurent talked about a second depth of buffer. Please have also a look at the link. Somewhere in the middle of the tutorial you see the explanations of Buffer and RT-Buffer.
Regarding your question: Would it change something when I host the shared Variable on the RT-System? --> No
In my experiences, you should consider to place the Shared Variable Engine after asking some questions regarding the application.
You will find the Answers to this 3 Questions also in the link:
Does the application require datalogging and supervisory functionality?
Does the computing device have adequate processor and memory resources?
Which system is always online?
And you`re right the smalles time interval you can see in the timestamp is 1ms.!
What you also can do is working with an enabled "timed out". This might be more performance efficient than reading the timestamp.
What I don`t know and not find up to now, is if LabVIEW or the OS adds the timestamp. It´s taken from the system time, this looks like LabVIEW is taking the value and adds it.
I hope this helps

Using bind variables in a portal report

I'm using a portal 3.0.9 report with bind variables.
I also use LOV to let the user choose his own parameters for these variables.
When user click Apply on the customization form of the report, the selection is always "set to default"

Hi
Please go to customization part of the report and verify..You have set a default value out there ..And also verify your lov and look at the values ..If it is again giving you the problem ..pl delete the report and develop it again from the scratch it will be solved...

Query Designer, Execute fails with missing iView (Portal Runtime Error)

Hi,
I have followed all steps to integrate Sap NetWeaver 2004s BI into EP. Checks done so far indicate that all is well between the EP and BI. From within the EP, I can execute the Bex Web Analyser iView and from there I can execute a query on the BI backend. From the BI backend, executing the function module RSWR_RFC_SERVICE_TEST returns the 'BI test service' success message. SSO is working fine as no user/passwords were prompted for. From the trace file, I can see no errors appear but I do see authentication success messages. So far, so good
But, when I execute a query from within the Query Designer, it calls the browser and then errors with the following error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
iView not found: pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bex.
Exception id: 10:06_03/03/06_0012_26285450
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Looking at the trace file, all it tells me is the same, that this iView is not found.
If I logon to the portal and have a look at the iViews within the 'platform-add-ons/bi' folder, I can see the following 4 iViews:
BEx Broadcaster (com.sap.ip.bi.bexbroadcaster)
BEx Portfolio (com.sap.ip.bi.bexportfolio)
BEx Web Analyser (com.sap.ip.bi.bexwebanalyzer)
My Portfolio (com.sap.ip.bi.myportfolio)
I cannot find the missing iView (com.sap.ip.bi.bex).
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashish,
Thanks for the suggestions. Here is what happened:
1. I have run the deploy and change template again (BIPostInstall). Step 10 failed but I am not too concerned as it does appear that SSO is working both directions. Also, step 13 failed which is the 'Configure Repository Manager'. The error I got here was USER_AUTH_FAILED: User account for logonid "" not found. I am not sure where it is getting the blank userid from.
2. The 'com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase' role suggestion looked very promising. I found some doco on it and it does mention this role and when assigned, then you see the Business Explorer tab. I assigned it to all users and to all groups. When I went back into the portal, sure enough, the Business Explorer tab was visible. From within there, I could run query which all worked fine.
BUT, when executing a query from within the BEx Query Designer, I still got the same error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
iView not found: pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bex.
Exception id: 11:25_05/03/06_0003_26285450
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Do you know if this is an actual iView that should exist in the portal content ? If you have this working, can you see this iView in the portal?
3. I had a look at this note (872043) but I could not get the sap download manager to work to get the zip files attached to the note download. If you have it still, could you email it to me ([email protected]) and I will try that. Did you apply the zip file?
I can't find any further trace information on why this missing iView error is happening. I've amended the severity level on the areas which a SAP note detailed but the only information I get is that a missing iView was called.
Function module RSWR_RFC_SERVICE_TEST still works fine and I can execute a query from the Web BEx Analyser iView.
I just can't execute a query from the BEx query designer due to the missing iView.
I don't know whether it is a communication problem even though SSO both directions seem to work OR whether I do have some content missing from my portal.

Com.sap.pct.srm.core configuration missing in Portal for SRM

Hi,
We have installed a new portal 7.0 ehp1.
Installed the SRM business package.
configured all the roles.
Configured UWL
But in Universal workflow configuration content , com.sap.pct.srm.core is missing.
In our development system , it was already present. Not sure why in the new system it is missing.
Can we download from the development system and upload it in the new system.
Thanks,
Tanuj

That should have been installed when you install the corresponding BP for SRM.
To answer your question - yes you can download it from your DEV system and upload it into your QA system.
Thanks,
Shanti

How do you change the variable screen on Portal to show Key?

Hi All,
I have a report on our Portal. In the variable screen, the users are asked to optionally enter Cost Centre. When they choose to select values (pressing the button on the right) the singles values which are shown are 'Text' only. I know in analyser, the user can switch by selecting the spanner icon - 'Display Key/Text'
How do you change to Key within the variable screen on the portal?
Many Thanks
Michelle

Thank you for your reply Amrita,
The display in the query had been set to Text & Key as follows
Properties of Cost Centre -> Display Tab -> Value Display Section -> Display As 'Text and Key', Text View 'Standard' and Use Characteristic Setting 'Unticked'
Is there another section that I should be amending to ensure the 'Key' also appears in the variable screen?
Many Thanks,
Michelle

ZLinux environment variables missing after install

Suse 9.0 Service pack 2
Oracle 10g
During the installation, I had to interactively define a bunch of environment variables. The Oracle installation instructions didn't say to put them in a .profile or any other type of file that may be executed when necessary.
However, after rebooting, those variables are gone.
So things like logoning on to the Oracle userid and trying to execute "sqlplus" fails. When I recode these variable, at least it can find the "sqlplus" command.
Of course, these variables may also be necessary for the db to come up.
So, I'm backtracking. What did I miss? Where did these variables go? Was there a step that wasn't documented? Was there something I was suppose to "automagically" know?
So, for those Linux shops, did you have to code a file with these variables?
I did the "export" command. Sure doesn't look like these variables were saved across boots.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tom Duerbusch

I'm going to add some things to this.
In the IBM manual on the installation of Oracle 10g on Suse 9.0, it does show putting the environment variables in the .profile file. (This is under the bash shell.)
So, last night, I tested .profile. Didn't work. Under the bash shell, the bashrc file would contain items that are executed at logon time. At least by default.
So, there is something missing, higher up in the food chain. Perhaps something not done during the Linux install that either tells the system to either use the .profile file at logon time (the way the IBM manual says), or automagically keeps the environment variables set across boots, (the way the Oracle Installation manual assumes).
Anyone recall something like that? Or are most of the people here, been given their Linux images. And your responsibility is only the Oracle DBA side? Perhaps I need to get to a Linux group for this one.
Thanks

ObRequestedUrl header variable missing!

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why the ObRequestedUrl is missing from the HTTP header of my login form. The form is behind an SunOne 6.1, 32-bit web server running on Solaris. I've got the authentication scheme configured for "passthrough:yes". But the target URL (the 'action' parameter) never sees the ObRequestedURL header value!
I'm fairly sure it's not a problem with the authentication scheme configuration, because I've got a very similar form set up on an Apache 2, Linux web server that works fine.
Has anyone else seen this??
Thanks,
- Jim

Hi,
obrequestedurl is usually set as a header variable (so seen server-side only), but it seems that it is an intended (though undocumented) side-effect of the SlowLoginForm:true setting is that its contents are instead placed in a cookie - something to do with SlowLoginForm telling the web server that it is not sending anything other than the credentials in POST data, so it has to store the requested url somewhere. As I understand it, SlowLoginForm is not required for solving the performance issue (the web server polling for extra POST data) in recent versions of the web server. I'm not sure how helpful this is, and I don't know why you're not seeing the obrequestedurl as a header variable when the SlowLoginForm parameter is not set - this could be a bug, or perhaps a limitation with the web server API that the WebGate is using.
As you've got this working with Apache, could you send all your authentication requests to an Apache web server via the Challenge Redirect parameter?

Colin

EROOR WITH VARIABLES ON THE PORTAL

Hi all
I have written a qry and then saved the workbook on the server. The workbook contains 2 variables, I can create the setting on the PORTAL without any issues. It states that the workbook is successfully broadcasted, when I go and open the workbook i;m getting this error:-
There are variables; change variable values.
can anyone share some light in this matter!
thank you ...Bhavesh

Hi Bhavesh,
Can you check which value have those variables at the moment when you execute the workbook ? Those variables it was created on a query ?
Could you try to set any value before open the workbook?
Sometimes a variable is not working properly on execution in WAD and that its resolve beside the creation of that variable in query. Then create that on WAD.
Hope this helps!

Portal navigation missing in portal object (java)

hi,
first of all, i hope thats the right forum. i'm trying to write my first portal application/object, but my studio can't find the "com.sapportals.portal.navigation"-package and i cant import and use the navigation classes which i need.. is that a bug? do i need to add additional libraries? i've read and done the following tutorials (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/44/489d45f5ee4e35e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm)
hope to get some help asap.
greetings,
constantin
Edited by: Constantin Wildförster on Mar 17, 2009 11:46 AM

Hi,
you have to import some libraries (in your case it is com.sap.portal.navigation.api_service_api.jar).
You can find it on the server installaton filesystem here:
\usr\sap\EXX\JC0XX\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.navigation.api_service\lib\com.sap.portal.navigation.api_service_api.jar
If you cannot find some classes to import I use this technique: I go to filesystem of the portal to the \usr\sap\EXX\JC0XX\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\ directory (using TotalCommander in my case) and let it search for desired class (in your case it is INavigationNode.class) - you have to set to search also archives (jar files are zipped classes). Now I copy this JAR to my local filesystem and add the library to the project.

Pop up message on the variable screen in portal when report is run

Hello
I have a requirement to pop up a message stating " Date should not be entered before 2010 "on the variable screen of the report if date is entered before 2010 by the user when the report is run.
Please can someone tell me how to implement this?
thanks

Hi Tom,
The logic could be to include code in CMOD forat variable with ISTEP=2.
IF I_STEP = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range into wa_t_var_range where vnam = 'Date Varaible'
<write condition to check the year entered. First, using function module DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT, extract year from Date>
< CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
 EXPORTING
 I_DATE = ZT_SDT
 I_MONMIT = 00
 I_PERIV = 'Variant'
 IMPORTING
 E_BUPER = zbuper
 E_GJAHR = zbdatj this is the year entered
 EXCEPTIONS
 INPUT_FALSE = 1
 T009_NOTFOUND = 2
 T009B_NOTFOUND = 3
 OTHERS = 4>
>
Then check the year for the condition.
If correct.
exit.
else.
CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
EXPORTING
I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
I_TYPE = 'E'
I_NUMBER = '000'
I_MSGV1 = 'Date should not be entered before 2010'.
raise again.
endif.
endif.
endloop.
Hope this helps you.!

Missing Producer Portal info in the Enterprise Portal

Whenever we make any change to our Producer Portal, BI in this case, the Consumer Portal, EP stops displaying the Fedeated pages or iviews. Anyone trying to access the EP with BI roles either then gets a blank page or it times out. The EP continues to work fine for anyone without the BI role. The BI roles are stored in LDAP, EP and the BI poratl. This has happened more than once and the option that we are left is to restart the Server Node on the EP. Any idea/help??

Hi Anup
The issue you see seems to be coming because of the fpn cache . After you make changes in the produces portal you should clear the cache or synchronize the cache
based on your content.
Clearing the cache refers to roles consumed through remote role assignment, while synchronizing the cache refers to remote delta links.
For more details see the following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/222dfc0bb93fece10000000a11466f/content.htm
You can also configure auto sync of the cache as mentioned in the above link.

Customer exit variable - missing values

Hello experts,
Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
We have a customer exit variable, based on 0VENDOR. In the customer exit we simply fill in a variable with the values in this master data table. By debugging we can see how the e_t_range structure gets filled in correctly with all the values in the master data, for example 2,300 values, the same values we expect to see in the report but we don't know why at some point after our code in the customer exit and in the standard code, our variable contains less values and only an incorrect number of values gets displayed in the final report.
Any ideas on this would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Inma

Hi,
Are you sure you're losing some values?
Remember that if no values exist for a master data value on the InfoCube, no line will be shown, so you could see less than 2300 lines.
You could probably try to show filter values on the query and check if they match with your e_t_range.
Regards,
David.

Pobcust.htm help file missing from portal!

Ranjan,
Incase you are trying to find out what happened to your message, one option could be to use the JMS commands - in particular 'JMS LIST DEADMSGS'. this command i believe lists the destinations for all the dead message on the server.
