Visual Composer no longer accessible

I have been using VC, but today when I tried to start it up I got the following error:
404 Not Found SAP NetWeaver Application Server 7.10 / AS Java 7.10
The requested resource /VC/default.jsp is not available
Details: File [VC/default.jsp] not found in application root of alias [/] of Java EE application [sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples].
I used the correct URL (I have used it before), so I can only surmise that something has gone wrong. I cannot seem to find a similar thread, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TB

My mistake: the correct URL includes freestyle.jsp. However, that does not appear to be my problem.
I have a duplicate Virtual Machine which fires up very nicely. I am able to access Visual Composer and other CAF capabilites both inside and outside Developer Studio.
In my problem VM, however, I cannot access CAF elements. They are absent from the DS menus and I cannot get the /VC/ or /irj/sites to load. I am sure that a reload of everything would probably fix it, but I would like to know why this happened to avoid it in the future.
Thanks,
TB

Visual Composer services not found

Hi,
We had configured VC on our dev server. Every alternate day while accessing VC it gives error..
a. VC services not found
b. This product required MSXML Parser 4.0
We had already installed MSXML Parser.
But when we restart the 2 VC services [vcclient & VisualServerEar04Composer] Visual Composer is again accessible....
Can anyone please suggest which will prevent to restart the services again & again..?
Regards,
MS

Hi Mario,
mh...strange.
I used the VC on our old server with my notebook without a problem (great tool!).
Now we have a new server with a new NW 04s SP10 (very fresh installed ) and there I get the "Server Error: Visual Composer services are not found" and "This product requires MSXML Parser v4.0" errors.
Unfortunately I cannot test it on the old server, because it was a interim system.

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

Visual Composer 7.0 roadmap

Hello experts,
We have NetWeaver EP 7.0 installed with Visual Composer in our C&B and DEV environment. We haven't started developing with it yet.
My questions to you is:
What is the future of Visual Composer 7.0?
My understanding is that SAP has put a lot of energy integrating Visual Composer into CE 7.1. This new version has significant changes compare to it's predecessor. Visual Composer for CE 7.1 seems to be the way to go if one needs to create applications based on existing data services. In short terms, both versions will coexist. Bbut in long terms...?
Can anyone help me find the Visual Composer roadmap?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Nathalie

Hi,
This is a quote from the Visual Composer main page on SDN: (/people/jarrod.williams/blog/2009/09/14/whats-new-in-visual-composer)
"_Visual Composer 7.0_
In light of the progress made relating to parity between Visual Composer 7.0 and Visual Composer CE, our investment in Visual Composer 7.0 will be limited to maintenance after the release of enhancement package 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. We are confident that with the provisions made for migration to Visual Composer 7.1 enhancement package 1 or Visual Composer 7.2 and the great feature set in Visual Composer for enhancement package 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0, our existing customers running Visual Composer 7.0 will enjoy the best of both worlds: the option to upgrade to Visual Composer 7.2 or to stay with the latest release of Visual Composer 7.0."
I'll stress the last part, though VC on CE is a great version, staying with the latest release of Visual Composer 7.0 is also good, depending on your needs of course, for instance - the attractive Flash runtime which is currently exclisive for VC 7.0, the "Flash Components" feature that was entered on SP5 of 7.01 (and in 7.02) , which enables you to consume custom 3rd party flash components or Xcelsius controls inside Visual Composer,, which makes flash black-boxes easier to consume than in CE, .. etc..
still - VC on CE of course has it's own advantages - the ability to consume clustered services, life-cycle management, it's intergration with the other CE components etc..
and so if you'll find that VC 7.0 is not enough, you could always upgrade and migrate to the CE versions (7.1 or 7.2).
bottom line - it's a win win situation.

How to use Webservice in Visual composer

Hi,
We have developed a RFC in R3 and converted it into Webservice. We want to use this in the Visual composer. Can anyone suggest some steps how to use this RFC in Visual composer?
I tried the option in Tools--> Define webservice System and gave the following parameters:
new system name = WDP (system name which we use)
new system alias = WDP_VC (system alias which we created)
webservice url = URL of the webservice which we have created and got in WSDL
when we create it gives an error the URL is incorrect.
Kindly let me know if these values are correct and suggest the steps to be followed. Also, if there are any prerequiste steps to be done before using this webservice.
Thanks and Kind regards,
Rajbarath.

Hi,
The option you described refers to defining a new web service system in the portal system landscape. So if you already have it defined - you don't have to define it again.
As for the actual error you're getting, check that:
1. The url is indeed accessible, and points to a wsdl. You can do this by simply inserting it in the browser's address bar and making sure you get a wsdl file in the response.
2. Make sure that you don't need to authenticate, i.e. provide a user and password. Maybe you just forgot to provide these arguments.
Lastly, keep in mind that this 'Define Web Service System' option is just a shortcut. Generally, you would define a web service system in the portal, like any other system, using the web service connector.
Hope this helps,
Lior

Visual Composer (B1i) error message

Hi,
Does anyone know what does this error message say (while opening a new project in the Visual Composer tool):
"Access to Remote Visual Composer library denied. Automation server can't create object" ?
Thanks,

Visual Composer is a model-driven development tool that allows business experts to create and adapt analytical and free-styled applications without writing code. Visual Composer 7.0 is the General Availability (GA) release; Visual Composer 6.0 introduced the freestyle model-to-code creation of analytical appli- cations and it was intended as a preview tool for evaluation purposes.
Visual Composer now connects to SAP NetWeaver BI via a Remote Function Call (RFC) rather than a Web service connection. The resulting communication between the portal and SAP NetWeaver BI works faster, especially in cases of large query results. With these added functionalities, users can create more user-friendly, powerful analytical applications using Visual Composer, such as Executive Dashboards.

New Features of Visual Composer 7.0
Visual Composer 7.0 is part of SAP NetWeaver Portal in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. This release focuses on SAP Analytics and offers significant changes from the previous Visual Composer release. The most notable changes include:
Visual Composer now runs on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Engine of SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS). Therefore, you no longer need Internet Information Services (IIS) 5, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft .NET Framework.
Visual Composer now can generate iViews for Web Dynpro (the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces) and Adobe Flash Player 8 or higher in SAP NetWeaver Portal. You can create Internet applications by integrating Adobe Flex Server and Web Dynpro.
Visual Composer now integrates BI content from SAP or non-SAP systems using BI Java Connectors (part of BI Universal Data Integration 7.0).

Exception handling in CE Visual Composer 7.1

Hi,
I have modeled a CAF Business Object and a custom Find operation which looks for a custom key. After that, I have exposed that operation as Web service and consumed it in Visual Composer. It is working perfectly as long as the search key exists in the Business Object backend table. When an arbitrart search term e.g. 1234 which does not exist is given, an error message is displayed and the program logic is halted.
Error occured while executing the service: Error in connection: Could not execute Web service, consult your administrator
My requirement is that, is it possible for me to display a custom message such as "The ID does not exist. Please enter a valid ID".
Besides, is it possbile to bypass this service call if it is not working? In my scenario, this service is actually used to search for any existing data for a selected Customer. If there is no data, the user can proceed with a new definition. So, the above mentioned exception blocks the program flow and the user is not able to continue.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
Regards,
Joon Meng

I am not aware exception handling features of VC but instead of raising SOAP Fault you can also transfer log message which is user friendly to display.
Another thing, instead of throwing exeption handle it inside try block so that program do not halt abruptly but gracefully. It is always possible to bypass existing service call like you said if output of service is not input of another.
In other word do not map output directly but on the "Next" event of button which enable you to goto next screen to work.

My problem is that when i enter a long text in VC's text editor, only 132 first carateres are shown in the notification in r/3.
Is there any way to break the text entered in VC text editor, so that it can fit in the TLINE format?
Tnaks a lot

Migrate Visual Composer to NWDI in NWDS

Hi,
we are trying to migrate Visual Composer DCs from local development to NWDI. We are using NWDS only and not the browser version of VC.
In the development infrastructure perspective it is possible to move (or copy) the DCs from local to shared. However, in the VC perspective the project is created but it does not show any models there.
Does somebody have experience in migrating VC to NWDI using NWDS?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I was having the same problem and managed to do it eventually. The solution was a little bit painful...
First you need to configure the web version of VC to work with NWDI : Configuring Visual Composer to Work with NWDI - Configuring Composition Environment Platform - SAP Library
Then you do the workaround of note 1474660
If everything was OK, you will be able to see the SC in NWDS development infrastructure perspective
If I remember correctly, in the configuration I mentioned at 1st bullet, it can only be done with CMS and not CM tracks. So in case you have CM you can copy/paste as you described at your post and now it won't be blank.
Finally, something that happened to me, if you open your model and the services(web services, R3 data etc) are empty, you search them again and drag and drop them on top of the empty ones so you won't have to delete them and create them again.
Sorry if I forget something but it was a long time ago that I did it.
Regards,
Vasilis

Visual composer iView in a BI web template

Hi all!
Is it possible to embedd an iView created with Visual composer to a web application created with BI web application designer? Can I use for example a hyperlink in such way that the content of the link is opened as default (user doesn't need to open the link to see the content of the visual composer iView)?
Greatful for your help! Points guaranteed!
Regards
Sari

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...

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.
