Visual Composer and BI Consumer Services questions

Hi experts,
Does anybody know if, with VC 7.1 EhP1, it is possible to use the BICS service on a separate BI java instance? The reason I am asking is that we have the following systems:
BI (ABAP) 7.0 EhP1
BI (java) 7.0 EhP1
CE 7.1 EhP1
and most probably, both BI java & ABAP systems will evolve together at a different pace than de CE system. With that in mind, maybe it is recommanded to use the BICS services hosted on the BI java instead of CE.
If you have any opinions or recommandations on the subject, I will be more than happy to hear about them.
Nathalie

Hey Grace,
It is very much possible... to access BI Java (7.0 ehp1) you create a system in your CE 7.1 portal (system administration) and in query wizard of VC select this system... In this way you can access all queries of BI in VC CE 7.1.
to access BI ABAP system... you can create RFC destinations in your CE -> netweaver administration -> RFC destinations / Jco destinations.
we are also following same landscape.... let me know if you have anymore questions...

  • Integration Visual Composer and BPM (netwearver CE7.11)

    Hi Guys.
    System: netwearver CE7.11
    We have a problem with the process of integration between Visual Composer and BPM. We have found a message  |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2011e628-b317-2c10-9fa7-952155e10705] explaining the step by step to join my visual compeser with BPM.
    The steps from guide(the guide includes a video) already have been implemented and the final result looks fine, but it is in this moment, when we want to create and deploy the BPM process with the result from guide(Web dynpro wrapp with the visual composer), when the error happens, the BPM process is created OK but not properly deployed.
    Could anyone help us?, thank you in advanced.

    Hi,
    Is 'tcvcglx~bridgecomp' already deployed or part of the deployment? There is a deploy time dependency specified. Thus without this DC the other DC won't deploy.

    Hi guys!
    Can you answer me the question? Send pls also information, where it is available to download..
    Thanx!
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    Latest version of Visual Composer (Version 7.0, based on NetWeaver release NW04S) can be obtained from the SAP Service Marketplace (you will need a SAP customer ID for this).
    1. Visit service.sap.com
    2. Goto software download (ie.,--> https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/swdc)
    3. Download SAP NW04 SR1 VISUAL COMPOSER 6.0
    The only other way of getting a trial version is to download the NW04S "Sneak Preview" edition from the SDN Downloads area and install it.Follow this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/77317c8d-0701-0010-f093-ed35a427f559">link</a>

  • Visual Composer and BI

    Hi,
    I have worked on Visual Composer but not with BI system.
    This time the requirement is to query data from BI system and display it in Visual Composer. The two options i could think of are as follows
    1. Using BI Kit - Which i dont know how to install in CE 7.1. Do we have any documentation on how to get this enviornment ready for this development ?
    2. Exposing Bex queries as Web Services - Which i am not sure is possible or not ? And also how much effort it will take if compared to the 1st approach.
    Thanks in advance,

    BI XMLA Connector 
    Use
    Microsoft's XMLA (XML for Analysis) facilitates Web services-based, platform-independent access to OLAP providers. The BI XMLA Connector enables the exchange of analytical data between a client application and a data provider working over the Web, using a SOAP-based XML communication API. The XMLA Connector sends commands to an XMLA-compliant OLAP data source in order to retrieve the schema rowsets and obtain a result set.
    The BI XMLA Connector allows you to connect applications built with the BI Java SDK to data sources such as Microsoft Analysis Services, Hyperion, MicroStrategy, MIS, and BW 3.x. This connector is fully compliant with the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA).
    You can also use the BI XMLA Connector to make these data sources available in SAP BI Systems via UD Connect, or you can create systems in the portal based on this connector.
    The BI XMLA Connector implements the BI Java SDK's IBIOlap interface.
    Prerequisites
    XMLA-compliant OLAP data sources, such as SAP BI (BW) system release 3.0A or greater
    Connector Properties
    Refer to the table below for the required and optional properties to configure for your connector:
    BI XMLA Connector Properties
    Property     Description     Examples
    UserName     Data source user name.
    User must have at least read access to the data source.     (your user name)
    Password     Data source password.     (your password)
    Language     Two-letter abbreviation of language. Determines logon language for SAP BI systems, and specifies the language of exceptions evoked on the BI Java SDK layer.
    Optional.     EN=English
    DE=German
    URL     Server URL.
    To find the URL of an SAP BI XMLA provider:
    Start  transaction SE37 and execute the function module RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET.
    Use the following values for the import parameters of the function module:
    I_HANDLERCLASS = CL_RSR_MDX_SOAP_HANDLER
    I_PROTOCOL = HTTP
    I_MESSAGESERVER =
    The URL takes the following form: */sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla.     SAP BI XMLA provider -- http://[domain:port]/sap/
    bw/xml/soap/xmla
    Microsoft Analysis Server --
    http://[domain:port]/
    isapi/msxisapi.dll
    DataSource     Data source info property.     Local Analysis Server
    Statefulness     Statefulness support.
    Optional. Default is false.     true or false
    Logonmethod     Specifies authentication mechanism (logon method).
    If using SAPLOGONTICKET, see the For the BI XMLA Connector only section in Configuring the BI Java Connectors for information on using Single Sign-On with the BI XMLA Connector.     UIDPW - Log on to your XMLA provider using User/Password. Use this method for XMLA-based access to non-SAP BI providers, or for User/Password access to SAP BI providers. This is the sole authentication method supported in the unmanaged environment.
    SAPLOGONTICKET - Log on to your XMLA provider using SAP Logon Ticket (supported by SAP BI XMLA providers). Use this property if you want to use the SAP Logon Ticket (SSO) to access BI systems.
    Timeout     Maximum time to wait for the SOAP connection (in milliseconds). Default is 30000 (thirty seconds).     60000 - to increase timeout to one minute

  • Last Data Update in Visual Composer and Web App Designer

    Hello,
    We want to show the last data update in query result and we used 2
    differents ways to do it: throught Web Application Designer (SP 12) and
    Visual Composer (SP 10).
    In query result of Web Application Designer, the last data update came
    in GMT0 and in visual composer came ok (GMT - 3, that's our time zone).
    This value (ROLLUPTIME) is taken out of the RSMDATASTATE table and this is used in SAPLRSMDATASTATE program, that is called by Web App Designer.
    Why does the difference exist between: Web App Designer and Visual Composer for last data update?
    So, I need more information how the Visual Composer brings the correct value (in our time zone) and Web App Designer in GMT0.
    Best Regards,
    Pablo Moraes

    Hi Mario,
    Yes, i used the same user and the same query to access the information. But, how can i check the mapping from my VC user to the BI user?

  • Visual Composer and System

    I am trying to use a Visual Composer on portal NW ’04.
    The installation was successfully but I am not able to find the BAPI on the backend system, when I select the system and type BAPI as a search term I get the error message “failed to connect to backend system”, but I am sure about the system in the EP (because it works with several iView and I am sure also with the user mapping.
    Someone knows if there is something special in the system definition?
    Thanks for the help
    g

    I have exactly the same problem, I'm trying to connect to a R/3 4.6c system, it works fine in the portal but in VC I'm getting the same error message.
    Alias and user mapping are ok.
    I'd really appreciate if someone could give a clue.

  • Visual Composer and Pocket PC

    Hi forum,
    we have just try to develop a nice model with a bapi for sales order list. We have just deply it and it works fine in Windows PC with IE or Mozzilla.
    We have also try with a Microsoft Pocket PC device (Windows Pocket PC 2003 ver 4.21.1088 in EN Language). Into this device we have already installed Adobe Flash Player 8.0.
    We try in Pocket PC but...
    "I-View is not compatible with your browser, opereting system or device"
    (or something like that)
    Does SAP support Pocket PC (or other mobile device) with Visual Composer ?
    - I think no
    Other way ? ... Web SAPconsole ? WebDympro ? other ?
    Regards.
    Ganimede Dignan.

    At least, you can check if the flash file works. Open the iView on an usual PC, right click the iView, open the source code and search for an HTML Tag "Object". in its property "data", you will find the URL for your flash. This URL you can use on your mobile device to access the flash application.
    If you want to use your flash application without portal, you can do it this way. But if you can use the Portal or anything in an iView on a mobile device, i don't know.

  • How to log on to visual admin and create destination service

    Hi all,
    I see this statement everywhere while trying to configure adobe forms.
    *it was only the HTTP destination FPICF_DATA_<SID> that was not created in the Visual Admin under Cluster -> Services -> Destinations*_
    I got 2 questions here:-
    1. the programs "FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE" runs fine w/o destination check box. andwith the check box it gives the error "ADS: Request start time: Thu Nov 26 12:07:42 ........". SO how to resolve this. I have checked the blogs before and I did everything so far and stuck at the statement given above in bold.
    2. What  is this destination fp_icf_data_sid........... where to look for, I understand u need to log on to visual adm. But how is there a sap transaction "AL11" or from the web url.   if it is web url  ...   "http://server_name:port/ ....." then I am lost after this I dont see anything called cluster and services anywhere....
    And if am looking for visual admin at wrong places please provide step by step guide. I have seen steps to log on to visual admin on wesites but i dont know what am i doing, thats not clear. If someone can help from here.
    Thanks,
    Anu.

    The Visual Administrator is a Java tool installed during the installation of a Java AS. It is a separate tool that can be copied and used remotely if desired. On a system running Java AS it can be found under /usr/sap/<SID>/JC00/j2ee/admin - just run 'go' under Linux/Unix or 'go.bat' under Windows. You must have Java installed on your remote system.
    Once you have logged into your Java AS system using the Visual Administrator you can then setup your "Destinations", located under Server -> Services.
    Check Note 944221 - Troubleshooting if problems occur in forms processing ...which will make clear the errors you are experiencing and help you solve them.

  • ERP 8.12 TR8.98 and available business services question

    Hi there
    We are just about to upgrade to TR 8.98 from 8.96 primarily to make use of BSSV functionality. We are still on ERP 8.12.
    I am a little confused about what we would have access to in 8.12 TR8.98.
    I thought I read that the RI's are for testing purposes and should not be used in production, but used as a basis for development.
    I just found document 'JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Business Services 9.0 Reference Guide' which lists quite a few available business services that look ready to use.
    Would these now be available to us on ERP 8.12 TR8.98 or do we need to be on ERP 9.0 to use these services, which are not prefixed with 'RI'.
    I would just like to clarify what our situation will be and if we don't have these services, could we get them in the form of an ESU?
    Best Regards,
    Perusha

    Yes, you can use the JDE Business Service Server to simulate the E1-Adapter associated with webMethods. Oracle provides out of the box Business Services for a majority of the E1 transactions. We have implemented Business Services Server with our webMethods and it is working very well.

  • Crystal Reports for Visual Studio and (Wcf) Web Services

    I´m evaluating Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010. I want to read data from a (Wcf) Webservice into the predefined Reports and deliver them to the Users in an ASP.NET Application. As far as I see reading Webservices via the XML/Webservice datasource works good in the Crystal Reports 2011 Applications - But I have Problems with the Integration of the XML/Webservice datasource in the CRVS2010 Environment.
    I read your Article on sdn: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13732
    which helped us to enable the XML Datasource in the CRVS2010 environment on a Machine where Crystal Reports 2011 and VS2010 is installed, but this required copying DLL´s and installing the JRE.
    But I´m not able to  run the XML/Webservices datasource on a webserver in a ASP.NET Application where Crystal Reports 2011 is not installed (only the runtime) - the above post doesn´t help because  the path structure is completely different on my machine. Is there a manual, which helps me to enable the XML datasoucre and the CRVS2010 runtime ?
    I´m not sure if reading XML is the best practice for a new Project, especially after reading your article at http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1952093
    I´m now evaluating ADO.NET XML as mentioned in your article, but I´m not sure if this is the right decision.
    Is there a a new version  for Visual Studio 2010 of the u2022csharp_web_adonet.zip example ?
    BTW: All examples in the Sample Code for Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010 reference Assemblies in Version 14, which are not present on my machine. I had to find/replave 14 through 13, before they are compilable. Did I made a mistake during installation ?

    Hi Henrik,
    First of all you didn't make any mistake installing CRVS2010. It has assemblies with version 13.x
    Now as far as patches are concerned ensure that you are on SP2. You can get runtime and patch from following:

    You can opt for AD.NET as one of the datasource but what is the error/ warning you get when you use Web Serive as datasource?
    You can find the latest samples created for CR2008 here

  • Problem with the Browsing of Services Registry in Visual Composer

    Hi,
    I have tried to connect Visula Composer of CE 7.1 to the Services Registry for ES Workplace by configuring 3 Web Service destination on my local server:
    1. UDDI_DESTINATION
    2. CLASSIFICATION_DESTINATION
    3. Backend destination "HU2"
    as stated in the tutorial "How to Browse an Enterprise Services Registry in Visual Composer" (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/605303db-9d5f-2a10-e0a2-c0e1c8af9e96&overridelayout=true).
    After the configuration, I opened up the "Search" dialog in Visual Composer and selected "Service Registry" for the "Search in" drop down list and then clicked on the link "Advanced Search". An error message "XMSG_COULD_NOT_LOAD_CLASSIFICATIONS" was then displayed. I have tried to google the error message but to my surprise there wasn't even a single result for that.
    Could anyone please help me on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Joon Meng

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for your reply. It is actually my intention to try out with the Services Registry for ES Workplace. The thing is, I was able to connect my NWDS to the SR, but not in Visual Composer.
    Below are the URLs for both destination.
    1. UDDI_DESTINATION: http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/uddi/wsdl/uddi_v3_service.wsdl
    2. CLASSIFICATION_DESTINATION: http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/ClassificationService/CS?wsdl
    I tried to open the first URL in my browser and a WSDL document was displayed, but for the second URL an error message "503 Service Unavailable" was returned.
    Does this mean that the second URL "http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/ClassificationService/CS?wsdl" might be the cause of the problem?
    Regards,
    Joon Meng

  • No access to Enterprise Services via Visual Composer

    Hi,
    I've configured the new landscape of EsWorkplace (HU2/800) in the Visual Administrator.
    After I start the Visual Composer and log in I get the list of Enterprise services normally, but when I click on the Enteprise Service to get the Data service to model in the story board, nothing happens and I can't get the Data service.
    Can anybody help in this issue?

    Hi Ghosh,
    I had used fine the EsWorkplace environment until the update of the landscape, when the system id was FU2. I used the Enterprises Services directly in Visual Composer and  used in the NetWeaver Developer Studio by CAF Services too.
    When SAP changed the landscape (system id HU2)  I received another password for my userid.
    I changed my WebService Security in the Visual Administrator and when I started the test, I see that I don't get to use the Enterprise Services directly in the Visual Composer.
    The applications that I created in the Developer Studio still work fine, but When I select the button "Find Data",  select the HU2 system , and select the search button the result is showed at the screen , but when I click on the Enterprise Service nothing happens, and I can't get the Service for model at the Story board.
    thanks,
    Márcio
