Visual Composer start problem in CE 7.1

Hi.
I installed CE 7.1 SR1 under Windows 2003 EE.
When I start Visual Composer, I got error.
Error is
Failed to invoke the function: 'actionkitsManifest' of the remote service: 'LibManager'
Anybody know this error ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold.
I got the same problem when i started the VC on the CE 7.1 Host.
Then i started the VC from a client where the SVG control from Adobe was already installed, then it works.

Loading... Visual Composer Startup Problem

Hi, When starting VC on my desktop machine I was receiving nothing but a blank screen. I followed all of the instructions for Flash, xml parser, etc to no avail. I could get it to work on the laptop though through a wireless connection. So my thinking was that there was some funny software on my desktop machine causing this.
Then, I was relocated along with my desktop to a different location in the same building. Then all of a sudden Visual Composer worked on my desktop!
Just thought I'd mention that there is something network related as well that can cause VC to present the famous "Loading..." blank screen other than flash or xml parser issues.
Good Luck.

Hi Thanks, Yes our domain name is in the trusted zone in your IE settings. Like I mentioned earlier that I just moved locations in the same building and all of a sudden it started working. So having VC not working was a network related problem. I'd have to spend time to find out from the network specialists what the difference in locations is...
Thanks again!

Is it possible in Visual Composer

Hi All,
I am not an expert in Visual Composer, but I do know it is useful to access adhoc data from the production environment. I have a requirement to extract historical data from NON-SAP database (DB2), since we are not planning to convert some historical data.
Let some one tell me whether I can access data from non-sap database, which is sitting outside. Also I want to use the tool to do extract data from BW, R/3 and DB2 at the same time in one screen?
Any material reference will help as well.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
yes, that is possible. You can connect your DB2 via the BI JDBC Connector (look <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b3/c3c4135e074ab4900bfdc2ae6c9e79/frameset.htm">here</a> and scroll down). At the same time, on the same screen you can connect R/3-Data, BW-Data, CSV-Data, Webservice-Data, ...

Parameters from abap web dynpro to visual composer

Hello ,
Can we pass output parameters from abap web dynpro to visual composer?
For Example:
ID NUMBER that we got in the application (Abap web...)
and we want to pass it to import parameter of visual composer (start-point)
I know about the mapping(in GP) but how we can see the output parameter of the abap web dynpro in GP-callable object(output parameters).
When we use GP (callable object), we have input/output parameters.
I need to map from abap web dynpro (output) to visual composer (input)
Thank You,
Boaz.

Hi Boaz,
Unfortunately it's one of the GP restrictions that it's not possible to transport parameter values from an ABAP web dynpro UI into the GP context. Vice versa is feasible, i.e. you can use an ABAP web dynpro UI and fill it with parameter values from GP context.
Regards,
Jan

VC is a modeling tool. This tool enables business experts/developers to quickly create business application , without coding. It mainly helps business experts to come up with a working application in very less time and decreases the dependency/cost on developers.
How it helps your project ?
This answer can change from person to person. A project manager can look at it as a faster development path (decreases cost) , as it comes with a rich UI ... etc
You can create iViews and use them as portal content.
To start learning :

5)There is a <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/vc/main&">wiki</a> section where you can find solutions to many problems in VC which are modeled by modelers who have encountered various problems while modeling various VC screens .
Hope its clear.

Problem in Visual Composer Installation

Hi,
I am trying to install the VC Server on my system. I have installed the required components like
1.     MS SQL Server 2000 DE
2.     IIS
3.     MS Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or higher
4.     Microsoft XML Parser 4.0
5.     Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0
Now, when i try to install the VC, in one of the wizard screen, it is asking me to enter the server details and login details.. I gave "sa" userid and pwd.. in that screen, but.....
i am getting an error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" . But, the SQL Server is already running...
Please help me out to get rid of this message and install it properly.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunatha.T.S

Hello Tommy,
Don't Forget to set the authentication to windows & SQL !
(page 11 of installation guide)
3.4 Installing Visual Composer Storyboard
To install Visual Composer Storyboard, you must first check that the SQL server is configured
according to Visual Composer requirements. Following the prerequisite software installation,
you install Visual Composer Storyboard on the Visual Composer server machine.
Procedures
To configure the SQL server:
1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs ¨ Microsoft SQL Server ¨
Enterprise Manager.
2. Under the Console Root ¨ Microsoft SQL Servers list, locate your machine, right-click
on it and select Properties.
3. In the SQL Server Properties dialog box, click the Security tab. Then select SQL Server
and Windows as the Authentication option and System Account as the Startup service
account option and click OK.
To activate IIS security features:
1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings ¨ Control Panel ¨ Administrative
Tools ¨ Internet Services Manager.
2. From the Internet Information Services tree, expand your machine node and expand
the Default Web Site tree.
3. Right-click the VCServer folder and from the context menu, choose Properties.
4. In the VCServer Properties dialog box, open the Directory Security tab.
It runs well as soon I put the local account to run the services (as said in the installation guide too).
Hope it helps !
Kind Regards

Problem changing ALL the colours for Visual Composer

Hi All,
To set the scene:
I have SP13 installed.
I have created a Visual Composer model, selected the option "Enabling styling of flex controls in portal themes", and deployed it.
Then gone into the Portal > System Admin > Portal Display > Theme Editor > Selected the correct theme > Visual Composer > Flex Runtime Controls
Then changed all the colours
The Problem:
I cannot change ALL the colours. There is this blue box that borders all the form headers which i cannot seem to change. I have provided a link to a screenshot below.
<a href="http://base.google.com/base/a/2957240/D319638570621304478">Screenshot Link Here!</a>
The field that I would assume fixes this ("Border Color of View Header") seems to have no effect?
Anyone also had this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks
Conrad Nicholas

Hi Conrad,
This issue is a bug.
It was brought to our attention and was already fixed.
The fix will be available in the next release.
Thank you for your input,

"Failed to delete MyModels/12.mdl. Model is locked by Administrator."
wonder anyone got encounter this problem and can solve it

Hi
See this statement

When someone else opens this model, or accidentally you have opened this in any of your window this could be locked.
You can check with your administrator who is using this

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

Problem to install Visual Composer.

Hi,
I am having some problems to install this versions: NWVC60_0-20000504
About my landscape:
I am using two boxes machines: one of them where is installed MSSQL 2000 SP3, and the other one E.P 6.0 SP2 Patch 4 and IIS 5.0.
I read Installation Guide 1.2 during the step 3.4 Installing Visual Composer Storyboard: I run setup.exe the system asked me:
HOST NAME:
DEFAULT TCP/IP PORT:
AND DBNAME
After entering of this paremeters appear a message saying:
"Visual Composer Installation requires SQL200 SERVER indicate appropiate server"
This is MSQLServer 2000 and I have installed SP3 (I don't understand this message).
In order to proof this connection I have configured an ODBC connection and it worked fine. (I use the same database, user and password).
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Here, I have a doubt:
Must I manualy create this D.B or the system create it ?
Thanks a lot,
Patricio Garcia.

Hi,
You don't have to manually create the database, it is done by the installer. But the installer stops on your case when testing the DB version. Try running the following SQL phrase used by the installer:
use master ;declare @dbversion varchar(150) ;select @dbversion = substring(@@version, 23,5);print '[Server version]'print @dbversion
It should result with the following:
[Server version]
2000
It also writes it into a temp file in a temp dir which might have failed for some reason (full administrative rights when installing?).
Regards,
Yaniv.

Problems using Visual Composer with Web Dynpro runtime

I am currently trying to build a Visual Composer iView and we need to use the Web Dynpro runtime rather than Flash because it needs to work with a screen reader for users with sight problems. Which is a pity because Flash works fine. But when I use Web Dynpro runtime I'm getting the following problems:
a) When I define fields and pushbuttons in forms where Align Contents is set to Absolute, they do not appear at runtime in the positions in which I've placed them - all form elements are aligned vertically. The only other options are to align all fields vertically or align all fields horizontally. This lack of flexibility makes it rather difficult to create a good screen design; the only option seems to be to create a separate form for each set of differently aligned fields, which leads on to the next problem. .
b) When I define more than one form on a page, again at runtime the forms do not always appear in the positions in which I've placed them; the compiler seems to calculate how much space it needs to display the screen elements and then re-sizes and re-positions the forms accordingly, ignoring what I've told it to do.
c) Toolbar pushbuttons do not appear on forms (they do appear on tables). Irritating, but at least I can still create pushbuttons on the form itself.
There are other issues, but the main problems is that it appears that when I use VC with Web Dynpro I cannot trust the editor layout at all and the only way I can build something that looks decent is to fiddle about with field / form sizes and positions, checking every change on the output, until hopefully I get it looking ok. Having to do this will dramatically increase the time taken to develop VC applications. Has anyone else experienced these problems with VC and Web Dynpro? Has anyone managed to overcome them?

Thanks, but neither of these describes the problems I've been having. And they are misleading since they say that you can use VC with Web Dynpro only with Web Services ie not directly with BAPIs / RFCs, but using it with BAPIs / RFCs is one of the few things that works well in our system.
The most recent problem I've found is that if you make a form or table read-only it will stay read-only in Flash but the fields are editable in Web Dynpro. The individual field disable option does work for Web Dynpro, but it turns the fields from black to a vey pale and almost invisible grey (this doesn't happen in Flash). And you can't seem to change this.
It does seem to be a bit pathetic that input fields can't be made read only. I've tried expression boxes, which are read-only anyway, but they appear in as pale a grey as the disabled input fields. And although plain text fields can be added to tables, they are pretty useless since they can only hold a single value and so all the lines will contain the same value.
I guess I should resign myself to the fact that I am never going to be able to produce a decent screen using VC and Web Dynprp.

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

Username: sa
Password: mypassword
Then I get the following error:
Failed to connect to database server - the log says the following

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.
