Visual Composer 7.0 : configuration & technical settings before delivery

Hi gurus,
Environment is NW2004S / EP 7.0 and back-end R/3 system release 4.6C.
I've been requested by developers to setup Visual Composer 7.0 as it is integrated in NW2004s.
As it seems that setup completed succesfully (i accessed to URL "http://<myservername>.<mydomainname>:<portnumber>/VC/default.jsp" and connected to visual composer interface, i 'd like to know if others technical settings are required before providing/delivering this development tool... as developers are currently quiet hard to please
I created a new model and composed succesfully.
However, I need to be sure that technical configration is proper.
Thanks for your experience feedback and help.
Rgds,

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.

Connectivity: Installation Guide
1     Preparation
1.1     Purpose
This installation guide provides the information you need to set up the connectivity for the SAP Best Practices for SAP Enterprise Portal system landscape, including connections to the backend SAP R/3, SAP BW, and SAP CRM systems.
1.2     Prerequisites
SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 and backend systems must be installed and configured.
If you plan to use the WebGUI, ESS or MSS, you must install ITS in your SAP R/3 landscape.
If you plan to launch the SAP R/3 Windows GUI from the Enterprise Portal, the latest release of SAP WinGUI (6.2 patch 37 or above) must be installed on each client machine.
2     Installation
2.1     Preliminary steps
Use
For each system you connect the portal to, you must create an entry for the system which stores all the relevant system connectivity information such as System ID, Server, Port, etc. Before creating portal entries for all your target systems, you should first create a folder to store these in so that you can find them easily later.
This task creates the folder structure on the Portal to store the system settings for SAP R/3, and can be used to create additional folders for SAP BW and mySAP CRM..
Prerequisites
Log on to the Portal as the Administrator.
Procedure
You must first create the portal content folder, Systems, to store the systems.
1.     Navigate to the Portal Content Directory
SAP Enterprise Portal     Content Administration  Portal Content
2.     Create a folder named My Folder according to building block N04: General Settings.
3.     Right-click the Portal Content folder and choose New Folder.

Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
5.     Right-click on the folder My Folder, then choose New  Folder.
6.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks
Folder Name     Systems     This entry is required.
Folder ID     systems     This entry is required.
Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
7.     Right-click on the folder Systems, then choose New  Folder
8.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks

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

Enterprise service in Visual Composer

When i click on Search Task Panel toolbar and select service registry as the search criterion,I get a pop up stating...
unable to receive classifications from UDDI registry,Please change UDDI server settings.
Have ne one of u come across a similar situation??
solution??

Did you correctly define the services registry in NetWeaver Administrator?
If you correctly configure the services registry and a physical destination for the services registry in NetWeaver Administrator, then you should be able to access it from within Visual Composer.
You can follow the instructions here for the physical destination: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/635dd614d73bdbe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm

Raghu

Hi Raghu,
We can view the services by creating a logical destination in the NWDS.
For this purpose we need to do the following steps :-
Window > Preferences > Destination Configuration > R/3 Configuration - For ECC destinations
Window > Preferences > Destination Configuration > Web Service Configuration - For Web service.
Please try it and let me know if successfull.

Refresh in Visual Composer

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell how to refresh the events ("SUBMIT") in visual composer.Where to set or see the event settings??
roshini

Hi Roshni,
Can you explain in detail what type of event do you want to put on your form. Do you want to refresh the elements on your form by clicking some button?
About where to set the event settings, follow the following steps:
a) Select the outline of your Form and then click the Configure button in the task-panel
toolbar. The fields and controls in the form are displayed in the table at the bottom of the
task panel.
b) Click the Plus (Add) button at the bottom of the task panel. The New UI Control dialog
box is displayed.
c) From the Select control type list, choose Pushbutton and in the Field name field, enter a name. This creates a new control in your Form.
d) Right-click the button, choose Properties from the context menu and click the Action tab to define the event that is associated with the button.
f) Now if you want to submit the data entered in this form, you can set Action Type as System Action, and select the action from drop down as 'Submit Form'. Else you can define your own custom action by setting the Action Type as Custom Action and the defining your own action.
By the way, the if some event can be put on some UI element, it has to be defined in the same way, ie by going to the properties of that element.
See if this solves your problem, otherwise please explain in detail what event do you want to be put.

How To Install Visual Composer

Hi,
this may sound stupid, but I am stuck:
How to install Visual Composer?
I have a Portal 7.0 and KM. Is it just an additional package? On which install CD is it? Can I install it now, after the regular portal is up and running?
I have seen the install guide, but I am missing the big picture.
Can someone outline the general steps and the prerequsities?
Thanks in Advance
hs

Hello Holger,
Actually if you've installed the Portal than you already have Visual Composer installed as it is part of the EP usage installation.
To access Visual Composer type the following URL:
http://<machine name>:<port>/VC (i.e. same as portal just replacing "irj/" with "VC" in uppercase).
Additional permissions and settings all appear in the insr.+configuration guide.

Hi,
Nice to see your reply, we got this error in R/3 it self, when we are trying to excuting SAP Standard BAPI we are getting this error "Employee/applicant is not locked yet". I think this is bug from SAP itself, do you have any idea about this one? is there any settings we need to do in R/3 for resolving this one or else is there any data we need to maintaine for our Employee Records.
Please resolve my issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
