WAD Container Layout

Hi Experts!
I am using 7.0 WAD for the first time.
I need to use web item: Container Layout so display a Chart web item and a Analysis wen item in separate columns.
My problem is that when editing the rows and columns propertiesof the Container Layout there are no values (apart from default) in the drop down for SUBORIDNATE WEB ITEM property.
I have added the CHART web item and ANALYSIS web item into the Container Layout, but I don't get the option for subordinate web items. So how do I do this?
I am obviously missing something basic, and have read other threads but still having probelms.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Sam,
if you have selected the container layout in the export command the PDF will only be exported blank. This is caused by the following limitation for the export command (which is cut from the official statement of SAP Help according to the link below)::
The standard functionality of export command within WAD is limited to the following special web items:
● Analysis
● Chart
● Maps
● Report
● Info Field
● List of Exceptions
● List of Conditions
● Text
Therefore you can not print the container layout or its content. If you do not enter any web item in the export command both the analysis item and the chart item should be printed. However you will face the following problem (also a quotation from SAP Help):
"When multiple Web items are embedded, they are generally arranged under one another in the print version. You cannot change how the Web items are arranged."
So if you want to print the items you will probably have to think of other structures (like arranging as tab items).
The detailled source of SAP Help is over [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/68ce8391886e47e10000000a422035/content.htm].

Container Layout Web Item supported for PDF Printing (Stack 11)

Dear all and Mr. Prakash Darji
I had an information that PDF export would be supported for Container Layout Web Item with SPS11. We hrecently have installed SPS11 but the functionality is still not available.
Does any one have more info on this ? Has SAP changed the plan ?
The current document at the service marketplace about functional enhancements on the following link does not say any thing about this.

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Container layout changed with adapter.

Why does TestStand container layout changes based on the adapter selection?
When using NumericLimitTest type with a none adapter the "Units" is visible.
But when using NumericLimitTest type with CVI adapter "Units" variable is not visible in Result container? Why?
Is it not correct that NumericLimitTest type Result container will always contain:
1. TS
2. Error
3. Status
4. Numeric
5. ReportText
6. Common
7. Units
8. Limits
9. Comp
Although TS container may change position.

When using NumericLimitTest type with a none adapter the "Units" is visible.
But when using NumericLimitTest type with CVI adapter "Units" variable is not visible in Result container?
Does anyone know if there is a way to identify for a specific test if Units will be present in container or not? This is when traversing through a single result container in modelsupport.dll (c_report.c file).

How do I delete a single line in a WAD input layout?

Hello to all,
I've created a standard delete function and I don't know how to "data bind" it to a single line of my web layout in order to only delete the selected line.
Can anyone please help and explain how to do it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi Francesco,
have never done this before using a delete function but for similar planning requirements. Just give it a try with this procedure:
At WAD you can set the behavior for each analysis item individually. If you set the "row selection" (analysis item, properties, web items parameters) for the rows to "single" or "multiple" the user can select rows (probably this is nothing new to you).
Just imagine you have the variable "product" in the row of your query. In this case just create a variable for this characteristic. In doing so you can use the variable within your delete function or within the planning filter belonging to this function for the characteristic "product". The last step is to "link" the characteritic value(s) of the selected rows to the planning function/filter. If you implement the planning fuction or the planning sequence in WAD you can do a data binding for the variable(s) as follows:
Variable: (name of your variable)
Variable type: Selection_binding_type
Binding type: item_characteristic
Web Item: (technical name of your selectable analysis item)
characteristic: (name of your characteristic)
Please keep us updated if it works, for questions just let us know.

WAD Tab container loses tab

Hi Folks,
I'm having a problem with a web app I have created. I have three queries which I want to present on a single web app using tabs.
I have created then three queries in the Query Designer and they all execute correctly.
I have created a blank web app added the tab strip container and create the detail, which consists of a container layout item, navigation item and analysis item for each of the three queries.
The tabs are all linked to the relevant container layout item and the navigation and analysis items are all correctly linked to the relevant container layout.
The web app appears to be correct and no issues are detected using the "verify" button.
However whenever I save and execute the web app the second tab disappears.
I have tried deleting and re-creating the data provider and all the web items to no avail.
I have also tried using one of the other data providers to see if the error is in the underlying query, without any luck.
Any thoughts on why this happens would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It seems the template was corrupted, deleting and starting did the trick.

Position change of function buttons in Layout sheet

Hi Experts,
In my planning layout, the planning function buttons like copy and delete push buttons are close to each other.So if i want to arrange them logically related close to each other, how i can do that ?
Thanks.

Hi,
This is in BI WAD template I assume? If you are looking for rearraging multiple buttons you have created using Button Group Item, you can do that in the properties of the button group item (arrows to move button up and down). The buttons in one button group item always appear close by to each other so if you are looking at more space or arranging them on the page, use multiple button group items and arrange them using container layout item(s).

Problem exporting to excel when using embedded web templates through WAD

Using web templates designed with WAD, we are experiencing an issue when trying to export excel when using embedded web templates.
We have set up tabstrips within our templates that load other templates (embedded into the global template).
Upon right clicking on any query and choosing "Export to Excel", any query that is in one of the tabs using the embedded web template item does not show up. Any queries in natively in the global web template will export and show up fine.
Any thoughts on how to enable something like this, or workarounds to make this work? We decided to split up these templates for performance reasons and can't go back from that decision. Also let me know if you need a better explanation of what we're trying to do.
Thanks in advance!
Jonathan

Hi SDBI,
Is this in place of loading a new template per tab? We are using container layouts in all of our templates so we can link things into tabstrips as well, we have just split up some templates to be embedded into tabs for performance reasons and data locking.
Also when exporting, we are looking for all of the items displayed at that time to be exported, however only the items from the global template show up, not all of the displayed queries. For example, anything outside of the tabstrip will export perfectly, but since the query embedded into the template the tabstrip is loading is not part of the native web template, it does not show up.
Seems like a tool limitation to me when embedding templates?
Thanks,
Jon

BI 7.0 - WAD

Hi,
I have developed a report in WAD. The whole of data seems to be fine but the problem is with the look and feel.
The alignment is not very good. I mean I have 2 web items
1. Info Field Item and 2. Filter pane item.
I am trying to display the Query name, the author and the current user in Info Field Item
I am trying to display the variables (4) that are there in the report in Filter Pane item.
So, in the first case i.e. in Info Field Item, the values are displayed one below the other and they have borders for it.
And in second case i.e. in Filter pane item, the values are being displayed horizontally and there are no borders for that.
So this looks very awkward in the report.
Could someone suggest me how do I go abut solving this issue.
Requesting you to explain me step by step as I could not find a proper option.
Would definitely assign points for the answer...

Hi,
Try using multiple information items and filter panes and split the fields between them; arrange these items in the Web Template using container layout Item(s).

Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Try this approach.
1. Add a container layout web item.
2. Add 4 Analysis items.
3. Now, the four analysis items needs to be binded to the container layout.
4. In container layout properties, Select Layout Type as GRID
5. In Row List, click on to add a row. A new window will pop up.
6. In that, click on to add a column. Again a new window will pop up.
7. Now, you click on the drop down button present in front of Subordinate web item.
8. Here, select the first Analysis Item i.e. Report1. Click on OK. You'll have the Report1 in the first row - first column.
9. Again click on to add a column. Now, you click on the drop down button present in front of Subordinate web item.
10. Here, select the second Analysis Item i.e. Report2. Click on OK. You'll have the Report2 in the first row - second column.
11. Again click on OK.
12. Now, in container layout properties, in Row List, click to add a second row.
Here, u bind the Report3 in the column.
13. Similarly, add one more row for the last Report4.
I hope this is helpful.
Let me know in case of any further questions on this.

Learning WAD - Tab pages

Hi,
I am new in using WAD and I would like to create tab pages.
I have two reports that I would like the user to choose from with TABS.
So far I managed to create one report in Tab but not the other one.
this is what I have done so far
- drag tab into layout area
- drag container layout into tab
- drag analysis into container layout
- chose data provider
How do I get the other report in the second tab.
thanks

you need to assign each one of the container items to the tabstrips. If you look at the properties of the tabstrip_container object, you will have a section called Internal Display there. This is where you will set how many tabs you have (and corresponding container objects to them).
also, look at your XHTML code to verify that the containers fall in within the tab

BEX WAD 7.0 Tab Pages issue with Mandatory Variables

Hello,
I have developed a BEX WAD 7.0 Tab Pages and need to pass Mandatory variables from one tab to other tab. Each tab has Container Layout Item to group them into a tab.
I have Set the Variable Sate for each tab page generically and it passes the variables if all of them are optional variables. If one of them is Mandatory the doesn't pass the value for the variable.
Did anybody face this problem & We are on SAPKW70018? If there are not note specifically for this on higher SP please do let me know.
Thanks
Arun

I guess there are no experts in BEX WAD 7.0 in SDN to answer this question.
Thanks
