Visual Composer popup iview

Can anyone tell me how to pass in information to the popup iview without hard coding?

Hi Wong,
If you're new to VC7.0, please refer to the modeller's and reference guides. They are very useful.
Modeller's guide: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/63f2052e-0c01-0010-b9a2-e1f7457a7fbe
Reference guide:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9326072e-0c01-0010-bc97-f72e93338101
You can find signalin, signal out, data store in the Compose Model task panel.
Signal in: If you have2 iViews connected through eventing, signal in receives the values of the fields that are output from the signal out with the same name, in the corresponding iView.
Signal out: Signal out sends the fields to the signal-in of the corresponding iView that receives the data of the event. For example, the Out signal may send Employee Name to the second iView, so that the In signal of the second iView sends the value to its data service, which generates the employee details.
Data store: This will hold any data temporarily for later use.

GP callable object (Visual Composer FLASH)u2013 update input/output parameters

Dear Sirs,
I have a callable object which is based on a Visual Composer Flash iview. In this iview I have two input parameters and two output parameters, and these can been seen in the callable object.
However, if I add another input or output parameter deploy the model and change and active the callable object the new changes are not picked up.
Has anyone else encountered the same problem?
best regards,
Jørgen

Hello Nick,
You gave me the answer I did not want :=), however I think you are right.
This is not a very good solution by SAP and I think I will open an OSS to get a final answer from SAP on they are going to solve this.
You can not delete all the callable objects in a process whenever you need a new parameter.

Visual Composer : Sending a signal from popup to iview

Hello,
I would like to refresh a table in a parent iview from popup iview. I think about a timer. What Can I do that ? Do you have a good example or can you explain in details the process ?
Best regards,
Aurélien

Hi Aurélien,
you have to use a timer. Connect the timer with a dataservice which refreshes your value, e.g. in a table. Then return from your popup a value,e.g. into a field. Define a guard condition to the timer so that it will be fired, when you return the certain value. Your data service must change the value from your popup so that the timer fire the event once.

How to connect two iviews in Visual Composer 2004s?

Hi,
I am trying a sample application (Bank Details) in Visual Composer(Netweaver 2004s) but getting a warning as "Event EVT1 is declared but cannot be raised". Actually I want to show the GetList values in the first iview & GetDetil values in the second iview. I have done everything for the two iviews, but not able to connect the two iviews.I tried to drag from Signal Out of the first iview to Signal In of the second iview, but not able to connect them.
Hope someone can suggest a solution.

Error while making iview with visual composer

I am trying to make an iview usign visual composer.
In the document that i have for making the iview , it says that when you have the bapi list you need to drag and drop the bapi to the empty iview pane . When i do so it gives me the following error ...
"Portal request failed
(com/sap/mdi/ObjectFactory)"
What do i do ?
Would appreciate a prompt help!
thanks again for making me move ahead
I had a conversation with a parson on the forum named Venkat . I am posting the same for other people in the forum to understand what exactly is my problem and how much have we explored .
Regards
Deepak Singh
Hi Venkat ,
I tried to do so research on the problem and it is being talked about in a thread on the forum . They ask to refer to the sap note 765461 to resolve the mdi reference . In the note they ask you to refer the installation guide of the installed version of EP . I have EP 6.0 SP2 . The installation guide says the following ...
7.1.2 Adding References
To enable some of the features in the portal environment, add references to reference file.
To add a reference:
1. With a text editor, open the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers\reference.txt
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers/reference.txt
2. Look for the line:
reference service:eisconnector library:jco
3. After the line mentioned in previous step, add the following in a new line:
reference service:eisconnector library:com.sap.mdi
4. Save your changes and close the file.
5. Delete the file:
Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP J2EE instance name>\j2ee\<instance
number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers.bin
Unix: /usr/sap/<SAP J2EE instance name>/j2ee/j2ee_<instance number>/
cluster/state/services/file/work/managers.bin
6. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine. See Starting the SAP J2EE Engine [Page 60].
7. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine again.
I did the same ....but now my server is not starting . By chance i didn't keep a bakup of the file which they asked me to delete .
Now what do i do ?
I think i am stuck up badly here .
EVERYBODY IN THE FORUM PLEASE HELP
I am not sure how a thing that is mentioned in the installation guide cannot work !
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
It is not that bad. By deleting you are recreating that managers.bin file during startup based on the reference.txt and library.txt (recollecting from my memory). This could also happen if there is a typo or some special characters in the reference.txt
I don't know what J2EE patch you are at, but after PL22 you can actually add the reference using the "add reference" command from the administrator console.
could you please send the error you are getting? To revert back the simplest thing is removing the line you have added and restart.
Hope this helps.
-Venkat Malempati
Note: Please reward points if your problem is solved or useful.
Venkat ,
I am using J2EE engine 6.20 SP2 .I tried to get the server started by the following two methods
1) I removed my entry in the reference.txt file and then start the engine by running go.bat from the required path .
2) I got the original file managers.bin which i deleted and then placed in the required path and restarted the server
Both the options didn't work .
I am not getting any error when i restart the server. When i run the batch file go.bat it starts the console and shows me the various managers loading . After it shows the Clustermanager loading , it stops and gets stuck .
Not sure what should i do now .Is reinstallation the only solution ?
Is there a solution from the administrator console ?
Regards
Deepak Singh
Deepak,
No you don't need to re-install. Try the following.
1. First start the state controller by runing go.bat in the following directory.
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/state/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager.
2. start the server in a different window
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/server/go.bat
You get the message waiting for cluster manager
3. Start the dispatcher
/usr/sap/xxx/j2ee/cluster/dispatcher/go.bat
Please let me the know the error messages.
You can chat with me between 10:00 - 11:00 PM US EST.
Regards
-Venkat Malempati

People ,
I tried to do what venkat suggested . Infact I had mailed him the snapshot of the screen when i start the state controller as he suggested . For other people in the forum this is what is happening . When i start the state controller it displays an error and then the window closes immediately . I have managed the screen shots somehow and in those i could find two messeges in the begining and the end which could be useful for debugging the problem ...they are
1) [DBMS]: ID3004:DB file header do not match exception .
com.inqmy.services.dbms.server.interfaces.DatabaseException: Error while opening database ...
2) ID000544: Error statrting service dbms. DBMS service not started properly due to: Errro while opening database
[Framework -> criticalShutdown] Service dbms startup error !
After the state controller window closes i run the server in a different window and i get a message waiting for the cluster manager as suggested . Now i start the dispatcher and i get the same messege there as well ie waiting for the cluster manager .
What is to be done now . Is this information sufficient to suggest me something ? Please let me know if you require any other information .

Adding action for functioning Dropdown fields in visual composer iview

Hi,
I develop a application in Visual composer 7.0. I want to convert the input field in drop down for selecting the different values. I can change the same by selecting the particular input fields in design screen. But I not able to specify the values, Action for the drop down. Can someone explain how to add the Values/Action for functioning the drop down field in the visual composer iView?
Thanks,

Hi,
you need to configure the element to be a drop down list instead of an input field:

Export to PDF option in Visual Composer iView

Hi Expert,
I am using NW 7.0 .Want to develop a Visual Composer iView based on RFC function module to fetch the data from backend and publish in portal.
In that iView I want to give the Export to PDF option for the corresponding SAP data.
I am referring following link for the same.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
But in my case our Visual Composer and BI-JAVA server are different. In this document it is clearly mention that the given code (Formula) is applicable only for the case where both VC and BI-JAVA server are same.
Specify this formula:
"pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_a
dd_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.b
ex?QUERY=" & STORE@REPTNAME &
"&BI_COMMAND_1-
BI_COMMAND_TYPE=EXPORT&BI_COMMAND
1-EXPORTFORMAT=PDF&BI_COMMAND_1-
SHOW_EXPORT_DIALOG=X&BI_COMMAND_1-
null="
NOTE: This URL is for the Web
Analyzer PCD Location if Visual
Composer is on the same server as
BI-JAVA.
Can someone explain how to modify the above formula to give the export to PDF option in my iView where Visual Composer and BI-JAVA are different server?
Thanks & Regards,
Kundan

Hi,
Sorry for late replay. Yes i tried complete URL .But i am getting error..
I am using ECC 6.O.Both VC and BI-JAVA are in same landscape. I am calling the FM ZBAPI_FM_TEST_APPLICATION.
I want to know the modified URL for giving the Export to PDF option in VC iView.
The document which i am following their it's URL for calling BI Quarry is

Navigate to another iView in Visual Composer

Sorry for the reposting
I am trying to configure navigation from one iView to another. I have going through many tutorials but to no avail.
The result of the steps below should be that the source iView is shown. When the submit button is clicked the value in the source_field should show up in the target iView.
However nothing happens when you click the submit button.
Please Help.
Here are my steps.
In Visual Composer
Create a new model.
Create a new package. (Drill into package)
Create an iView named source. (Drill into the iView)
Add an Form view: Form 1.
Add a Start connector and link it to the in port of the form.
Right click on the form and select Configure Element
Add a new Input Field: source_field
Add a new pushbutton: submit
Open the properties of the submit button
è Open Action Tab
è Select custom action
è Set custom action: TO_TARGET
è Click Close
Click and drag from out port of the form and select Signal Out
In the Select Output dialog
Select source_field
Right click the newly created Signal Out and select Configure Element
Change the name to Port
Click on the link from the form to the Signal Out icon
Change the Event Name to TO_SOURCE
You should see in the lower right panel
Input field Assigned field
source_field @source_field
Navigate back up to the package
Create a new iView named target
Drill into the iView
Add a Signal In connector. Configure the name to Port
Add an input field : source_field
Add a new Form view : Form1
Link from the Signal In to the in port of the form.
Right click on the form and select Configure Element
A field source_field will have been automatically created. Set the type of the field to Input Field.
Click and Drag from the out port of the form and choose End Point. Do not select a field for output.
Save the Model and deploy.
The result should be that the source iView is shown and when the submit button is clicked the value in the source_field should show up in the target iView.
However nothing happens when you click the submit button.
Please help?
Rick Laird

Hi Rick,
I reconstructed your model.
First I think, you have made one mistake (perhaps you just mixed it up in your description): The event name from the form to the Signal Out icon should be "TARGET_TO" instead of "SOURCE_TO" resp. the same name that you define on the custom action tab in the properties window of the push button.
However I could not solve your problem as described, but I put the two iViews in one Page (instead of a package) and then it did well.
I Hope I could help you at least a bit.
Regards,
Oliver

Passing output of one iView as input to another iView using Visual Composer

Hi
I need urgent help. Is it possible to pass data from one iView to another using the Visual Composer tool. If it is how? Does anyone have an example or know where I can find one.
Here is my example:
I have created one Page with two iViews on the page. In the first iView i have a Bapi that accepts an ID number of a business partner as input and returns details like Name, Surname , title etc as well as the SAP Business Partner Number. The second Iview uses a Bapi that returns the Address details of the business partner.My problem is that I need to use the Business Partner Number from the first iView as the input into the second iView. Is this possible using Visual Composer? There will be a series of additional all bringing back different details of the same Business Partner and will need to use the same Business Partner Number.
Please advise me if this is possible using VC or if not suggest an alternative way of doing it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards
Yusuf Gangat

Yes you can do this.
You can use ports (Signals) for this.
In order to explaing this, I will call the 1st iView - the source iView and the 2nd one - the target iView.
1. In the source iView create an "Out Port" from the form or table where you have the details you want passed. Name it anyway you want (in the Properties task pane).
2. In the target iView create an "Input Port" and connect it to the input of the BAPI you want run.
3. Make sure that both ports have exactly the same name (it's case sensitive). and the same fields.
4. Deploy the 2 iViews to the portal, put them in the same page.
Data should be transferred now between the iViews.

Visual Composer iView

I have created an iView in Visual composer. An input
form has several parameters, some of type Text and a
couple of type Date.
I have created a Callable Object for this iView. When
I examine the input context parameter, I see that a
structure has been created with an element for each of
the parameters created in Visual Composer. So that seems
fine. But I also notice that the structure is flagged
as a List. I want to uncheck this selection, but it is
disabled.
Is this by design, or is there a way to redefine the
structure in the callable object.
Thanks.

Like it is made in the Example you have to define corresponding input and output parameter in the iViews.
Add your two iViews to a process and map your parameters.
