Visual Composer 6.0 installation

Hi,
We are using EP 6 SP16. I have all the below dc in my System info i.e. http://portal:port/monitoring/SystemInfo
com.sap.visualcomposer
sap.com com.sap.visualcomposer.BIKit
sap.com com.sap.visualcomposer.BIKitQV
sap.com com.sap.visualcomposer.portalcontent
I am unable to see a software component for VC?? What should I do for that???
I am still not able to access http://portal:port/VC
Its says "The requested resource does not exists". my SAP NW AS is on AIX server. Is there any limitation that VC will only work if the server is on a windows machine?
Any work around to make VC working? I need to start my application development ASAP.
Kindly Help!!!
Thanks & Regards,
Shruti

Hi Shuti,
You can find the VC component from service market place -->> Downlaod -->> Support Packages and Patches -->> Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group -->> SAP NetWeaver and complementary products ->> SAP NETWEAVER -->> SAP NETWEAVER 04 -->> Entry by Component --> Visual Composer -->> VISUAL COMPOSER 6.0
I am not sure about how to apply patches in AIX server. Please ask you basis team to deploy VC sca file in the server. I think willl be possible.
Hope it will helps

Hi,
There is no need of Special steps to install VC.
VC will come by default with EP Usage type.
if your Portal URL is : http://<domain:port>/irj then its corresponding VC will be http://<domain:port>/VC (Capital letters).
and if you are gettingpermissions problme then assaign the VC role to the user with which you had loged in to the portal i useradministration.
hope its clear now.
still u have the problem plz let me know.

Visual Composer 7.0 Setup/Configuration (with NW2004s SP7)

Hi all,
I've installed a NW2004s Portal with SP7. From my understanding, the SCA-files for VC are included in the installation/Support Package (I saw several VC*** files in SDM).
But I can't start/access Visual Composer in my browser.
I tried a URL like that: http://myserver.domain.com/vcserver
I got an error from WebAS: "The requested resource does not exist." (Errorpage 404) Besides that I added two roles roles in portal to my user: GUIMRole and VCRole.
So my questions are:
- Do I have to install something else, like with VC 6.0 on the server, to use the VC? And if, where can I get it?
(Note: I had installed the old release on that server before, so I already have MS SQL Server and MS XML Parser and the Adobe Software.)
- Does anybody know which installationsteps/configurationsteps I'm missing?
- Are there any installationguides available for release 7.0, cause I couldn't find some in servicemarketplace and SAP-Help?
(I saw the post from Siddharth J Bhatt "Visual Composer 7.0 installation" but unfortunatelly that didn't help me.)
Thank you in advance for any tips / hints.
Kind regards,
Annike

Installing VC 7.0
*I myself have only done a dry run for this*
The user would need to download all of those files. Make sure to download all the files available..So, every version for each file. The reason JSPM will only install the most current version, and the user doesn't have to worry about matching files with versions etc etc.
1. Download all the files.
2. Place them in the EPS inbox.
3. Log into JSPM using SDM password.
4. Select New Deployment or Business Package.
5. The other options will not work, i.e. the files will not show up in the next window.
6. Makesure that the version is the most latest/current.
7. Proceed with install.
This is essentially a cheat sheet for installing those components..makesure that you install all of them at the same time.
Also, make sure that your Support Pack level is the most recent (SP 7 should work)
Hopefully this works.

Problem in Visual Composer Installation

Hi,
I am trying to install the VC Server on my system. I have installed the required components like
1.     MS SQL Server 2000 DE
2.     IIS
3.     MS Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or higher
4.     Microsoft XML Parser 4.0
5.     Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0
Now, when i try to install the VC, in one of the wizard screen, it is asking me to enter the server details and login details.. I gave "sa" userid and pwd.. in that screen, but.....
i am getting an error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" . But, the SQL Server is already running...
Please help me out to get rid of this message and install it properly.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunatha.T.S

Hello Tommy,
Don't Forget to set the authentication to windows & SQL !
(page 11 of installation guide)
3.4 Installing Visual Composer Storyboard
To install Visual Composer Storyboard, you must first check that the SQL server is configured
according to Visual Composer requirements. Following the prerequisite software installation,
you install Visual Composer Storyboard on the Visual Composer server machine.
Procedures
To configure the SQL server:
1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs ¨ Microsoft SQL Server ¨
Enterprise Manager.
2. Under the Console Root ¨ Microsoft SQL Servers list, locate your machine, right-click
on it and select Properties.
3. In the SQL Server Properties dialog box, click the Security tab. Then select SQL Server
and Windows as the Authentication option and System Account as the Startup service
account option and click OK.
To activate IIS security features:
1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings ¨ Control Panel ¨ Administrative
Tools ¨ Internet Services Manager.
2. From the Internet Information Services tree, expand your machine node and expand
the Default Web Site tree.
3. Right-click the VCServer folder and from the context menu, choose Properties.
4. In the VCServer Properties dialog box, open the Directory Security tab.
It runs well as soon I put the local account to run the services (as said in the installation guide too).
Hope it helps !
Kind Regards

Does Visual composer requires enterprise portal installation?

Hi all,
Does Visual composer requires enterprise portal installation?
or can it be installed standalone and used standalone.
Also does Visual composer reuires BI-JAVA stack,
or can it run on BI-ABAP stack also
Thanks all,

Robert

Hi ,
Thx Markus,
one more question...
Is VC a stand alone application/package by itself that does not require EP or does it come with EP.
Thanq.

Robert.

Rapid Installer includes Visual Composer?

Hi all,
I want to install and run NetWeaver Portal. It is planned to be connected to SAP BI. In a later step, it should be possible to create applications/models via the Visual Composer.
Now my question: Could anybody say something about their experience with the Rapid Installer and if it's recommendable for purpose at all? I'm afraid that VC is not part of the Rapid Installer, am I right? If so, is it difficult to implement it later on?
Thanks for your posts!
Best regards,
Tobi

Hello Tobias,
If you want to use the Rapid Installer (RA) for NetWeaver 2004s, the answer is YES the VC is included
For previous version is not included and you must install your portal with the RA and afterwards install the Visual Composer.
I hope this clarify your doubts.
Kindest Regards,
Luis

Error while making iview with visual composer

I am trying to make an iview usign visual composer.
In the document that i have for making the iview , it says that when you have the bapi list you need to drag and drop the bapi to the empty iview pane . When i do so it gives me the following error ...
"Portal request failed
(com/sap/mdi/ObjectFactory)"
What do i do ?
Would appreciate a prompt help!
thanks again for making me move ahead
I had a conversation with a parson on the forum named Venkat . I am posting the same for other people in the forum to understand what exactly is my problem and how much have we explored .
Regards
Deepak Singh
Hi Venkat ,
I tried to do so research on the problem and it is being talked about in a thread on the forum . They ask to refer to the sap note 765461 to resolve the mdi reference . In the note they ask you to refer the installation guide of the installed version of EP . I have EP 6.0 SP2 . The installation guide says the following ...
7.1.2 Adding References
To enable some of the features in the portal environment, add references to reference file.
To add a reference:
1. With a text editor, open the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers\reference.txt
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers/reference.txt
2. Look for the line:
reference service:eisconnector library:jco
3. After the line mentioned in previous step, add the following in a new line:
reference service:eisconnector library:com.sap.mdi
4. Save your changes and close the file.
5. Delete the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers.bin
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers.bin
6. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine. See Starting the SAP J2EE Engine [Page 60].
7. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine again.
I did the same ....but now my server is not starting . By chance i didn't keep a bakup of the file which they asked me to delete .
Now what do i do ?
I think i am stuck up badly here .
EVERYBODY IN THE FORUM PLEASE HELP
I am not sure how a thing that is mentioned in the installation guide cannot work !
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
It is not that bad. By deleting you are recreating that managers.bin file during startup based on the reference.txt and library.txt (recollecting from my memory). This could also happen if there is a typo or some special characters in the reference.txt
I don't know what J2EE patch you are at, but after PL22 you can actually add the reference using the "add reference" command from the administrator console.
could you please send the error you are getting? To revert back the simplest thing is removing the line you have added and restart.
Hope this helps.
-Venkat Malempati
Note: Please reward points if your problem is solved or useful.
Venkat ,
I am using J2EE engine 6.20 SP2 .I tried to get the server started by the following two methods
1) I removed my entry in the reference.txt file and then start the engine by running go.bat from the required path .
2) I got the original file managers.bin which i deleted and then placed in the required path and restarted the server
Both the options didn't work .
I am not getting any error when i restart the server. When i run the batch file go.bat it starts the console and shows me the various managers loading . After it shows the Clustermanager loading , it stops and gets stuck .
Not sure what should i do now .Is reinstallation the only solution ?
Is there a solution from the administrator console ?
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
No you don't need to re-install. Try the following.
1. First start the state controller by runing go.bat in the following directory.
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/state/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager.
2. start the server in a different window
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/server/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager
3. Start the dispatcher
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/dispatcher/go.bat
Please let me the know the error messages.
You can chat with me between 10:00 - 11:00 PM US EST.
Regards
-Venkat Malempati

People ,
I tried to do what venkat suggested . Infact I had mailed him the snapshot of the screen when i start the state controller as he suggested . For other people in the forum this is what is happening . When i start the state controller it displays an error and then the window closes immediately . I have managed the screen shots somehow and in those i could find two messeges in the begining and the end which could be useful for debugging the problem ...they are
1) [DBMS]: ID3004:DB file header do not match exception .
com.inqmy.services.dbms.server.interfaces.DatabaseException: Error while opening database ...
2) ID000544: Error statrting service dbms. DBMS service not started properly due to: Errro while opening database
[Framework -> criticalShutdown] Service dbms startup error !
After the state controller window closes i run the server in a different window and i get a message waiting for the cluster manager as suggested . Now i start the dispatcher and i get the same messege there as well ie waiting for the cluster manager .
What is to be done now . Is this information sufficient to suggest me something ? Please let me know if you require any other information .
Regards
Deepak singh

Visual Composer 7.0 on SAP 2004s

Hi All,
I have installed SAP 2004s on my server. I also want to install VC 7.0 on this.

Hi I've copied the following section from the VC 6 installation manual.
It worked from me, maybe it works for you:
4 Preparing the Visual Composer Client
Machine
Visual Composer Storyboard, operating on the Visual Composer server, is the design
environment in which you create your portal content. It functions as a thin-client application
that can be accessed from the Internet Explorer web browser of any machine with network
access to the Visual Composer server. See the Visual Composer User Guide for instructions
about logging on to Visual Composer Storyboard from a client machine.
In order to log on to and work with Visual Composer Storyboard, be sure that your Visual
Composer client machine meets the following software requirements:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1or higher
Microsoft XML Parser 4.0
Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0
Download MS XML parser 4:

Unfortunately, I am unable to find the Role 'VCRole' in our portal installation.
Is this role comes as a default with the portal installed roles? or should be created new one entirely??
Following is the path where I searched for the role VCRole.
