Visual Composer 6.0 Patch2 on EP60 SP7 WAS 6.40 SP8

Hello,
I am trying to test visual composer for some of our developemnts. I have installed Visual composer 6.0 Patch2 and am able to connect to the CRM systems using the Portal framework. The iview created in the VC works in preview mode in VC workbench (means, it retrieves and displays data). When it is deployed in the portal, I am able to see only the input form. The output form is not executed when 'submit' is pressed.
Does anyone have any similar xperience or any clues?
- Arun

Hi,
This is the message I get in the trace file when I press 'Submit' on the input form of the iview. Instead of showing the output table, there is nothing displayed... But, the trce file is populated with:
#1.5#000F20191F04003F00000655000050370003EAD6217670E5#1102630335442#com.sap.portal.portal#sap.com/irj#com.sap.portal.portal#arunkumar#418####62217b204a2f11d992b6000f20191f04#SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_37##0#0#Info##Plain###UserAgentHook: component

Is it possible in Visual Composer

Hi All,
I am not an expert in Visual Composer, but I do know it is useful to access adhoc data from the production environment. I have a requirement to extract historical data from NON-SAP database (DB2), since we are not planning to convert some historical data.
Let some one tell me whether I can access data from non-sap database, which is sitting outside. Also I want to use the tool to do extract data from BW, R/3 and DB2 at the same time in one screen?
Any material reference will help as well.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
yes, that is possible. You can connect your DB2 via the BI JDBC Connector (look <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b3/c3c4135e074ab4900bfdc2ae6c9e79/frameset.htm">here</a> and scroll down). At the same time, on the same screen you can connect R/3-Data, BW-Data, CSV-Data, Webservice-Data, ...

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.

Visual Composer + WAS 6.40 Stack 14

Hello everybody,
i have heared that with stack 14 of SAP NW 2004 a Visual Composer Server doesnt need a standalone IIS-Webserver anymore and will be integrated within the WAS. Anyone has more infos on that?
regards,
Markus

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/webinar?rid=/library/uuid/65984d16-0401-0010-419a-cd190812a128
In that page u found a PDF that name the VC6.0 and the new one that will not have to use ISS, support FLEX, etc this VC they called VC Netweaver 2004 and according with the PDF can be used with EP60, I dont know if this version VC04 never came out and SAP decided directly get out the VC04s version. From what I know one of our client buy the license of NetWeaver 2004 and for what I can see the VC that cames with this version is the VC6.0, pls correct me if I wrong.
What I really care is knowing the fact that VC04s (the version that will get out very soon) can we used or not in a portal EP6 and in the case that can run find out if there is some limitations.
thx

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

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Hi,
you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.

Benni

Please resolve my issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Invoice value, Gross sale value, Efficient operations etc are as Key figure elements in query and coming as rows in query out put.
But if I map this query to visual composer table view all these are coming as columns as given below.
Total Invoice value , Total Gross sale value, Total Efficient operations, HPC Invoice vale,.........
And if execute the query will giving the out put in single row.
Can anybody help me out to map this in the row column format?

Hi,
Try to use some function module which will convert query data into flat tables. (eg., RS_VC_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA_FLAT).
Hope this solves your issue.
