Visual Composer + NW04 SP Stack 14

Hello,
Has anyone install the latest release of VC? It was supposed to be in NW04 SP Stack 14. However, I am not able to locate the software. I read that it was available as addon to EP, does it mean we have to upgrade portal to stack 14 and VC will be installed as well? Or has the new VC release been delayed?
Thanks,
- Wee

Mario,
In one of your previous posts (see Visual Composer with Macromedia Flex) you've said it will be available with SP14. But now we see that it will only be available to some pilot customers. If it is a part of SP14, how can it be provided seperately to some pilot customers ?

Problem installing Visual Composer NW04 Stack10

Hi
I have a problem installing Visual Composer on SAP EP NW04 Stack 10.
I have downloaded VC from Service Marketplace version NWVC60_0-20000504.zip.
I reach the problem where I should Connect to the SQL Database Server
Enter connection details
Host name: my host
Default TCP/IP Port: 1433
DB Name: VCDB
Username: sa
Password: mypassword
Then I get the following error:
Failed to connect to database server - the log says the following
[DBMSLPCN]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBMSLPCN]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
Have anoyone reached the same error or have a solution on this problem?

Kay-Arne

Hi Kay-Arne,
Please check if the authentication you are using to connect to SQL server is windows only, if this is the case change it to SQL Server and Windows and try the installation again.

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

Visual Composer 7.0 and LoadRunner VueGen

Has anyone been able to make Visual Composer 7.0 work with Vuegen (v8.1 FP3)? Running on NW04s SPS10 J2EE and Portal. The model is rather simple it executes an ABAP BAPI and returns Exchange rate data. Works great in the browser with no issue.
VueGen receives the data (seen in the playback), but then has a fatal issue, with message = Fatal Communications error, cannot retrieve the data. The https is definitely working Ethereal proves that. VueGen always works a little differently than the IE6 browser based on Ethereal (that's a mystery).
Anyway, I am guessing that the Web-HTML and Web-SAP Protocols simply cannot handle the Flash bytecode that is streamed back to the Vuegen process. It must be trying to do something with it, and failing.
Any ideas or success stories with Visual Composer 7 / Flash (not WebDynPro), and Vuegen would be greatly appreciated? And if you are about to try it , good luck.

Hi Frank,
From what I understand you are talking about recording Flex applications and not VC design time, right?
If so, I do remember having some problem with VUGen. I think that what helped me was using the option of using the old recording engine. This can be set in VUGen-> Recording Options->Advances->Recording Engine.
Also, I don't think you need the SAP-WEB, just use the Regular Web-HTTP.
After you record should see web_custom_request going to "com.sap.visualcomposer.vcbroker". I would put some web_reg_find before these requests and supply some expected returned data to search for.

How to call a BAPI from Visual Composer

hi,
I am new to Visual composer. can some body give me step by step information of calling a bapi or RFC from VC.
Thanks in advance,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
Steps involed for calling RFC/BAPI from VC
1. Choose Model->Select Data Services.
(Alternatively, click the Data button in the task panel toolbar.)
2. In the Portal field at the right end of the main toolbar, enter the URL of the portal from
which you can access the back-end system used by the iView.
For example, you could enter: http://<yourportal>:50000/..
3. Click the traffic light icon to the right of the Portal field. The portal Welcome screen
appears.
4. Log on to the portal as a user that exists in the connected back-end system, or which is
mapped to a user of that system. Click OK.
Once a connection to the portal is established, a list of system aliases defined in the
portal system landscape appears in the System drop-down
list.
From the System drop-down list, choose the SAP system that contains the function module.
6. Under Search SAP System, click the Search tab and in the Name field, enter the search string: <RFC/BAPI name>. Then click Search (at the bottom).
5. A list of function modules matching the search string is displayed.
7. Drag the function module/bapi from the Data task panel into the
workspace: The data service is added to your model.
8. Periodically save your work. To do so, choose File->Save Model.
Finally test the iview in VC.
In the workspace, drag your mouse from the Input port of the data service, <inputform> and dragn your mouse from the outut port from the data service <tabelview and etc..>
or
Go through the this documentation...

Solution for Visual composer error: 32k span and 64k byte limit

Dear friends,
I am getting the error in visual composer 32k span and 64k byte limit since last half year,
some time error will get resolved by adding layer in to model OR adding some table and form to model OR reduce the animation effect OR even by doing tab strip view for layer model, doing nested ivew.
but this solution not usefull for every time.
what should we do for this error(32k span and 64k byte limit),
is it solved by updating EP version or by EP java stack or any other updates which will solve the This VC error.
64k error i am getting is:
+Error in compiling Flex application: Error: A function in the code exceeds the 64K byte limit (actual size = '65570'). Since the problem occurs in the compiler-generated deferred instantiation code, please refactor/componentize portions of this document.

Failed to compile AADCDM.mxml+
hope to get answer form you,
Thanks and Regards,
Dushyant.

Hi,
I think it's better to post this question into the Visual Composer forum. Anyway, the 32k/64k bug is solved with the flex2 server which is already released.
Also have a look into the [Wiki page|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/64Kbytelimit].
Hope that helps!

Following is the path where I searched for the role VCRole.

Please clarify
I am using NW04S(SP06)

Error in Visual Composer - winsvc.exe

Hello. I have installed Visual Composer 6 and Service Pack 2. However when I connect to my portal(6.4 stack 4) I get the following error:
Error winsvc.exe?get=1846140
It is installed on a windows 2000 server and IIS version 5.
Please help.

Hi Pete,
It seems that you haven't install one of the Visual Composer prerequisites - SVG Viewer 3.0, it should be installed on the machine you use to connect to the Visual Composer. you can find it in the Adobe site.

Visual Composer table horizontal scroll bar

Hi Experts,
is it possible to have horizontal scroll bar in visual composer iview?
is it possible to lock initial n columns from scroll in VC iview?
if possible the pls tell how?
Thanks in advance
Anupam

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)

Creating TabStrip control using visual composer

Hi,
I am NW04 version for Visual Composer. I want to create a TabStrip control on which I want to show two table from a RFC. Is there any facility available to create this like NW2004s. I found from some posts that NW04 verson doesn't have capabilities to create listbox. Or is there any patches available and after applying we will get the functionality??? Or can I install VC for NW2004s and it will be compatible with EP 6.0??
Please suggest.
Thanks,
SA.

Use layers and set the correpsonding property. Tabstrip is one of the options in 2004.

Visual Composer first steps

Hello,
We are working on NW04s SPS9
Up until today I used Web Dynpro for all my development tasks.
I would like to start working with Visual Composer but when I go to the download center I see many files to download. Can someone please:
1. Direct me to the installation files I need for my version and explain me what each one means?
2. Direct me to initial documents such as HowTo's and tutorials for beginners?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Roy,
I think Visual Composer is part of EP since NW04s SP8. In the SDN you find a lot of how-to's.

Problem installing Visual Composer

Hi experts,
I downloaded Visual Composer from SAP Servise but I have not been able to install it on my laptop due to the following issues:
It is looking for a SQL client, and an IIS server.
Can you tell me what I might be doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer ,
Your Visual Composer installation is comprised of the following components:
<b>Visual Composer Server</b>
made up of the following: Web Server (IIS), Storage Layer (Microsoft SQL Server), Visual Composer Storyboard (the Visual Composer interface
that you use for portal content development)
<b>Visual Composer Addons to SAP Enterprise Portal</b> (connects Visual Composer to portal)
Visual Composer is internally using IIS Server as Webserver.So IIS Server is mandatory...
Meta Data informations regarding our applications which are developed using Visual Composer are stored in the DataBase. Thats why its is asking for SQL Clien.
   Installation guide is here....
