How to include custom style sheets in BI 7 WAD (Web Reports)

Hi,
I have WAD in 3.X, where I have used custom stylesheets. Now I need to use the same style sheets of 3.x development in BI 7 WAD.
How do i achieve this?
Regs, Arka

Hi,
Stylesheets cannot be included via the Web Application Designer for BI 7.0 web templates. You need to use the Theme Editor of the Portal instead. Please refer to the documentation:

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

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).

Long Texts in BI: displaying in Web report using WAD

Hi, Gurus!
Assumtion is that:
*) user uses EP portal to access BI reports;
*) these reports are pre-formatted, preferably-static, and with print option (maybe via xls or pdf format);
*) Win Gui is NOT an option to use in EP;
Here is the Question:
Is there any ready-made recipe how to get BI reports containing Long Texts on web (most possibly by using WAD - Web Application Designer)?
There are two great blogs by Eugene Khusainov:
*) <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3766">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3766</a>
*) <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3768">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3768</a>
These ones deal with this question in Bex WorkBook.
I'm looking for similar solution as in above mentioned blogs, but only for the web (EP). Thus would like to get your opinion before reinventing the wheel.
Thanks a lot in advance for all ideas!
--- Kaspars
P.S. Have gone through several SAP docs, but had not find an exact solution...
P.S.S. in case you have some ready-made-docs, please use the following e-mail: [email protected]

Hi, Prakash!
Thank you for the suggestions! The document you mentioned is a very good as such. However in my case it doesn't seem to be a solution.
Could you please elaborate on your comment regarding "rendering with XSL" ...?
Thanks,
--- Kaspars
NOTE to clarify 'static': I am not looking for a precalculated report/document. It should be like a normal query. But from a users point-of-view it is just a report he/she can ONLY print out. That's it; no drill-downs, no filtering, no nothing.
Wouldn't there be these long texts (texts in several columns, that should be displayed as one column) + header & footer formatting;... Then I could use regular EP iView template (and pure query made in BEx Query Designer as data source within it).
NOTE 2: user just have to click on a hyperlink in EP to access this report. No parameters should be submitted by user.

URL error while executing a web report in WAD

Hi,
When I execute a web report through the Web Application Designer, I get the following error:
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://abcd.efghi.es:8000/sap/bw/BEx?
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for abcd.efghi.es
The dnsserver returned:
Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:
The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.
But when I execute the web report with the IP of the machine http://123.456.7.893:8000/sap/bw/BEx?...........
I can execute my web report correctly.
I didn't find any options in the menu web template in order to modify the url generation.
Please help me to solve this problem.

Rocio

Print button on Web report.

Hi gurus,
We were trying to add a print button on Web report for printing the result area on the Web report.
We followed the steps which has given in the How-to-guide How To Web Printing with Microsoft
Excel document.
In the document it has mentioned that
1. Support package should be above 19 for BW 3.5 version
2. Add HTML code in the WAD Template
3. Import Transport file into the System.
4. Apply OSS notes 736568 and 737082 to BW
We upgraded the support package to 22, added the html code in the WAD template, imported the transport file into the BW system and applied the OSS notes as per the mentioned in the document.
The transport file contains the Package u201CZPK_WEB_PRINTING_WITH_EXCELu201D and ABAP Classes u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_GRIDu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINTu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_CONDITIONu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_EXCEPTIONu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_GRIDu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_TEMPLATEu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTSu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_TABLEu201D
After import the transport file into BW, some of the objects in the ABAP Classes were not activated. I was trying to activate manually but those were not activating.
Please guide me how to resolve the above issue or is there any way to get the printing the web report?
Thanks in advance.
Venkata.

Hi
If you want to print the web page directly then you can define a button using Java script and you can do it.
Define java script code to print the page
for ex define a button and call function for print.
i cannot attach the code. but you can solve with java script

(Urgent) Sorting search help values in Web Report

Hello Friends,
We have a web report which uses a variable made on 0CALMONTH. The order of display of values for this variable search help is 02/2004, 03/2004, 01/2005, 07/2006, 08/2006, 05/2007. In this order we have the latest date (05/2007) displayed at the end of the list. What we want is that the values in the search help of 0CALMONTH should be displayed in the reverse order i.e. latest date first (05/2007, 08/2006, 07/2006... etc).
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Prem.

Hi Premanand,
If u display the report in Internet Explorer there you can see differnet buttons like
Save View, Book mark, Variable Screen etc...There click Save View give tech name and descryption. After Sorting use this in WAD instead selecting query , select this view and execute.
Assign Points Pls...

Convert Web Report to PDF

Hi all,
I need a possibility to <b>convert Web Reports</b> designed in WAD <b>into PDF</b>. SAP help portal says: 'You access BEx Web applications and reports in the portal. You can then convert these into PDF files and print them.' (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/03/d8c041a227ca17e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
But I haven't found any documentation how to do this...could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
You will need to add a URL or button group to your template and use the command wizard to create the command ("Export Web Template"). You should be able to find more information in the SAP Help documentation for SAP NetWeaver 2004s, which I know you already have a link to.
If you are on a ramp-up project, you should have access also to the Ramp-up Knowledge Transfer (RKT) in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/rkt-netweaver. This site contains materials that explain the new features, including the new web items and the command wizard. If you don't have access, check with your SAP consultant for assistance.

Line graph issue in web report

Hi
I have a 3 queries/reports on one page in my web report. I have 3 line graph buttons, one for each query.
My issue is, in the report result or table, I have characteristic "Product" in rows and Key figures in Columns.
Product                          Month 1     Month2
XYZ          Demand
             On hand stock
             Ending Inventory
But when I hit the line graph button, it shows Product in the X (horizontal) axis and number ranges like 15000, 20000, 25000 in the Y axis.
I need to swap the axes. I tried the "swap display axis" in the web items tab, but it didn't work.
I read other threads on the same topic here and someone had suggested creating a query view, switching the columns and rows there and running the report to display the line graph as required.
If I do that, won't the report result in the table also swap the rows and columns? I want the table to show Product in the Rows and KFs in the column as it is now, but I want the line graph to show Product in the Y axis and the Key figures in the Y axis.
Any ideas on how to do that? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Pooja

This is what I did:
1) In BEX Analyzer, I opened the local view of the Query and swapped the Key figures and Characteristics. I put the key figures in the columns and Characteristics in the Rows
2) I ran my report and save it as a View
3) In WAD, I assigned the Chart to the View.
When i ran the report from WAD, it still shows the key figures or number ranges in the Y axis and Characteristics on the X axis again.
I checked the "swap display axes" option in Web Item tab, but the line graph still remains the same.
Is there another way to do this? Or am I missing something?
Thanks
Pooja

Company logo not appearing in PDF (generated from Web Report)

Hello all,
I have created a Web-Report using WAD and have my company logo followed by the reporting values. When I export this report as a PDF, I get to see all the values etc except the company logo. Could someone help me out with this issue pls.
Thanks,
SD

Hi Sebastian,
We've had the same issue and found no solution for this. There just isn't a way to add an image to a by SAP generated PDF file. The only thing that did work was adding the image to a report and adding the report to the web template. In that case the image is printed but on a seperate page.
Kind regards,
Alex
