Visual Composer 7.0 support in SAP BW 7.3

Hi
We are planning an upgrade to BW 7.3 in the coming months. We have many visual composer 7.0.1 applications deployed in our current BWenvironment. Is there a Visual Composer 7.0 instance for further development and will currently deployed iviews function as is in 7.3 or do we need to migrate to a new version (7.3) and redeploy?
Any information on this will be very helpful
Thanks

Hi,
this is a very sensitive thing. Normally your earlier versions should also work in 7.3 as already deployed applications. If you like to reuse your models you will need to migrate them. Unfortunately migration process is not very easy as both systems (the original one as well as the 7.3 one) need to be absolutely identical. Also all backend systems your application depends on need to be completely identical.
The best way to keep your models to work is either to recreate them in the new system or to keep an out of the box 7.0 system for development. I know this is not a nice solution but as you already ask for the consequences I try to tell you what would be best.

Hi Anupam..
The below info may helps you .......
Visual Composer produces applications in a declarative form, thereby enabling completely code-free execution mode for multiple runtime environments. It provides full application lifecycle support by maintaining the connection between an application and its model throughout its lifecycle. Visual Composer is designed with an open architecture, which enables developers to extend its design-time environment and modeling language, as well as to integrate external data services.
As a result, Visual Composer modelers increase productivity by reducing their development effort time from weeks and months to days. Domain experts gain the means to express their requirements directly rather than conveying them to developers. This narrows the gap between application definition and implementation.
Starting with a blank canvas, the Visual Composer user draws the application in Visual Composer Storyboard (workspace), without writing a single line of code. Since no traditional programming skills are needed, business process experts can prototype, design and produce entire applications.
A typical workflow for creating, deploying and running an application using Visual Composer is:
Create a model
Discover data services and add them to the model
Select necessary UI elements and add them to the model
Connect model elements to define the model logic and data flow
Edit the layout
Arranging the UI elements and the controls of the application on forms and tables.
Deploy the model
This step includes compilation, validation and deployment to a selected environment.
Run the application
The application can run using different runtime environment (such as Adobe Flex and HTML)

Building a BI based dashboard in Visual Composer

Dear,
We are using the Visual Composer to build a KPI dashboard based on BW KPI's from multiple queries (NO SEM in the background !)
What we need is to place the keyfigures in the rows and the keyfigure value in the colums. In the colums we further also need an arrow that indicates the trend based on the keyfigure value (ascending, descending,...)
this is how it should look
===================
Keyfigure        Value            Trend
Gross Sales    100             Down
Net Sales        80              Up
Costs             20               Up
(*) The trend is based on a calculated keyfigure that compares this month's values with previous month's values.
In Visual Composer I'm trying to fit this in a table. After playing around I found that I need to place my keyfigures (column A) in a structure in the Rows in the BW query. Afterwards I can use the "characteristic" Key Figures and place it in my column in the VC table together with the value and the trend.
However, now my real problem occurs. I want to link trend with an image but the image should not be based on a condition linked with the main keyfigure from my row A but on another calculated keyfigure that I do not want to show in my rows at all. I'm affraid this is not possible since I don't see an option.
If anyone has an idea, please share. This kind of VC cockpit apps you see quite often on slides and Xapp presentations but I'm affraid they were all created with SEM cockpits in the background so I hope to be proven wrong.
thx

Id'try the following:
a) your trend-field is in your query, but unselected in the field list
b) build a formula on this unselected field which selects the image (from the Image Manager)
More on modeling can be found in the Visual Composer WIKI:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC
and many postings in the Visual Composer (where it might make sense to ask such questions in the future), where I also moved this question.

Visual Composer App in EP 6.0

Hi,
As far as I know Visual Composer is available only from SAP NW 7.0 (~SAP NW 2004s). Correct me if I am wrong.
In that case, is that possible to develop VC applications in SAP NWDI 7.0 and deploy/display it on SAP EP 6.0? If yes can you let me know the steps to do it as EP 6.0 doesnt have an Visual Composer iView.
Thanks & Regards,
Shruti

Hi shruthi,
if you are using EP 6.0 lower than patch 4 then you have to additionally instal VC addons.
Go through this [HELP|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1core/helpdata/en/22/e082410d4cbe0fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] link for installing in EP 6.0

Greatful for your help! Points guaranteed!

Hi Rakesh,
Starting from SP15, new features are no longer a part of the service packs, but they are delivered as an Enhancement Pack (EhP). EhP1 is scheduled to be released for ramp up these days and it will have many very cool features. You can read about them here: [What's New in Visual Composer - Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0|What's New in Visual Composer - Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0]
The feature I talked about in my previous post is not listed there but it's there alright... I' going to post an article or a blog on how to use it in the coming days so stay tuned...

Visual Composer - MDA in SAP universe

Hello all,
OMG released a bunch of standards around model driven architecture (MDA). From my point of view Visual Composer is the tool inside CAF to design solutions according to the MDA philosophy.
But Visual Composer uses its own proprietary standards to save and execute models (GML and XGL). How do Visual Composer supports OMG standards? How do buzzwords like MOF, PIM and XMI match into our SAP universe?
Any documentation around these topics?
Best regards,
Markus

Hello again,
It seems anybody has a good and fast answer for my question. So I will try to draft an answer on my one and looking forward for your comments!
From my point of view Visual Composer is a domain specific tool to design process flow and ui of business applications. What we do with VC is (in fact) domain specific modeling (DSM) using a specific modeling language (DSL). VC generates a model for design time (GML) and for run time (XGL). The model transformation is executed by deploying the application.
I think GML defines a platform independent model (PIM) and XGL defines a platform specific model (PSM). GML defines the graphical syntax for our model, too. I suppose it also defines the action semantics.
OMG uses UML as a modeling language based on the meta model MOF. UML and MOF a very generic approaches for modeling. In fact GML serves as a meta model for every instance of an application in VC. Iu2019m quite unsure, if there is an underlying meta model for GML (perhaps in form of a public XML schema?).
Unfortunately I didnu2019t found any documentation about the transformation process GML-XGL. Perhaps SAP adopted the QVT standard for model-2-model transformationsu2026?

Markus

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.
