Web Application Designer standstill since BW SP25 / BI Java SPS 23

Hi experts,
in February we implemented the latest SPs into a SAP development system of our customer.
Since then the BEx Web Application Designer doesn't work anymore for them.
It just hangs up and you cannot even close it.
I will provide the tracefile in an answer to this post because otherwise the post won't be readable.
I've found note 1437358 concerning NullPointerException (but not NullReferenceException) but I doubt that this has something to do with our issue.
Does anybody have an idea what could cause this problem and how it could be solved?
WAD 7.20 is used.
Best wishes
Marie

Security for creating web templates using web application designer

I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
there are no special authorization objects for Web Templates. RS_COMP will still only work for queries, structures.... Saving to roles requires certain authorizations for the role (s_agr_*), here you can define the roles you can save templates to.

Insert a BSP Application in Web Application designer template (WAD)

Hello to all
I like to place a BSP Application in my Web Application designer template (WAD). Have someone a good idea how to display a BSP in a web item.
We use BW 7.0 .
Thanks a lot for any good idea.
Christian
Edited by: Christian Baumann on Nov 10, 2010 3:46 PM

Christian,
There are many ways you can do this ...
1. In Portal - you can have two iviews for the same and run both of them together ( there was something called client side eventing or something like that before - I am not sure if it still exists
2. In WAD - use frames - use one frame for the WAD template and the other for the BSP ( I have never tried it in WAD 7.0 but it works in 3.x where you can introduce frames
3. Possibly have the BSP as a link in the template so that it opens up separately ..?
4. Instead of embedding the BSP into your WAD - embed your WAD into the BSP ..? this is also possible since the output of the template is HTML - but then you will have a hard time getting the context menu , export to excel etc which are all taken for granted in WAD.

Web application designer & iframe

hello all,
I'm creating some templates in web application designer and I ran into a strange piece of code:
<iframe name="I4" width="220" height="166" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" border="0" frameborder="0" style="BORDER-TOP: #ffffff 4px solid" src="[SAP_BW_URL_!IID_100]">
any idea what this [SAP_BW_URL_!IID_100]"> is calling? Especially the IID_100 is a mystery to me, is it another template? I guess not since searching on that term does not display any results...
thanks in advance!

Joris,
the src tag refers to the page the iframe refers to, this could be a template or a web page.
What you are seeing is a bug in WAD. You can edit the HTML source and put in the correct src tag for the same and then save the template before making any changes. You should save the template first and then change it again if necessary.
There are many other forum discussions on the same , pl refer the BeX forum...
Hope this helps..

Problem with BEx Web Application Designer

Hi,
we use since last week the Web Application Designer with the SAP GUI 7.2.
Now I have a big problem since last week. I can call existing templates but unfortunately not change! I make a change in the template and save it. When I viewed the template again but no change is saved!
A new template I can create and change
Does anyone know the problem? The behavior also occurs with the old Gui 7.1.
Regards
Edited by: Jana VOGL on Oct 18, 2010 10:14 AM

Hi Jana,
Do you get any error before opening of an existing template in WAD? Doesn't look to be a problem with the different SAP GUI versions. Maybe somethings gone wrong with the Java - ABAP config settings or Java Portal communication settings. Maybe you should check with your BASIS team on the same. Tell them what the problem is & they will run a trace to figure out.

Expert on web application designer comes in!

Hi Colleagues,
Here is an issue on the web application designer. i want to use the exception showing function (red light, green light) with the help of the web application designer. So firstly, i set some exception in the query and on the web application designer, i choose "exception visualization" as "symbol". Then i save the web query and execute, the exception shows, but in a arrow trend way, not the red light or the green light. It seems that the tool has by defult set arrow trend as the 'symbol'. But from the exception details, i find there are 2 options for 'symbol': status (one i want) and arrow trend. How can I change the default setting? Thanks.
If necessary, we can have a netmeeting.
Urgently waiting for ur reply.
Best Regards,
Clark

Hi Clark,
You have to implement the module com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ExceptionImage.
Select the Analysis Web Item -> Web Item Parameters -> Internal Display
Select Modification -> Single Module
Implementation Name: com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ExceptionImage
Select Type as Generic Module
Set the Parameter Name based on the Alert Level set in the Query Exception.
For example :
Green      u2013 ALERT_3 (Alerts 1 to 3)
Yellow      u2013 ALERT_4 (Alerts 4 to 6)
Red     u2013 ALERT_8 (Alerts 7 to 9)
Since you want to display the Traffic lights in the Web Report, select Image as the Value from the dropdown box.
Provide the URL for the images stored in the MIME Repository depending on the Alert Level.
Green - bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/BEx/Icons/s_s_ledg.gif
Yellow - bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/BEx/Icons/s_s_ledy.gif
Red - bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/BEx/Icons/s_s_ledr.gif
The images will be stored in SE80 -> Mime Repository under SAP -> BW -> BEx -> Icons
Green - s_s_ledg.gif
Yellow - s_s_ledy.gif
Red - s_s_ledr.gif
The Exception Visualization drop down in Cell Content Area of the Analysis Web Item should be set to display Symbols.
If this is not set, the Report would continue to display Exception Colors in the cell background.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Hari.

XCelsius + BICS + Publish to EP + BEx Web Application Designer

Dear Friends,
Any one have idea about how we can publish an XCelsius Dashboard (with BICS connectivity) to the SAP Enterprise portal using Bex Web Application Designer?
I tried to publish the dashboard using the iView, by following the below link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofanXcelsiusdashboardinNetWeaverEnterprisePortal
Since it can only support individual report, I can not use this option in my client.
Appreciate your help to provide me the information how we can publish the dashboard using Bex Web Application Designer.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajish George

Hi,
Did creating the iView using the instructions in the link work for one Xcelsius report? Can you explain what you requirement is or expand on your comment "Since it can only support individual report, I can not use this option in my client.". One iView can only launch one object. If you have multiple BW connected XC files to launch I think that you will have to create multiple iViews with the "DASHBOARD=" each XC file value in each iViews BEx Web iView query string parameter setting.
If you only want one link off of your Portal then you could create a BW 7.0 Web application where you could use objects like buttons to launch each individual URL string for the seperate dashboards. The challenge with this would be that your URLs would be static and if you are using a regular BW landscape, DEV / QAS / PRD, then you would need to employ logic find and update the system part of the URL. I am not sure how this would be done, but it would probably require JavaScript. If you do report development in your PRD system this would not be an issue.
From a support perspective I would suggest using a container iView to group your XC reports together and then create a seperate iView for each XC report. This eliminates dealing with the system identifier as the Portal enviroment manages this as the objects are transported through the systems. A container iView with the action iViews in it would look like a menu structure on your Portal.

Web Application Designer need help ASAP

Hi All,
I have a requirement to customize the analysis item in a web application designer.
I have created new templetes and added a analysis with a query view as data provider .
in the output I require to hide some rows of the query view and also change the color of the text i.e the numbers.
How to modify the output of the analysis item which is coming from a query view or is there any way where I can modify the output of the web templete.
Thanking You,
Rukmini

Dear Devi,
If you do not want to use the default display and behavior of the Analysis Web item, you can use the Modification parameter to change them. You can modify the table structure and the table cells.
The Modification parameter provides modules whose use can be controlled using additional parameters.
This function enables you to use similar options to those available in earlier releases with the Web Design API for Tables. Unlike the Web Design API for Tables, modifications enable you to make targeted changes to the display and behavior without any programming.
Prerequisites
The modules are the main prerequisites for making modifications to the Analysis Web item. The modules are implemented in Java. The SAP Basis infrastructure in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 does not support any customer modifications or extensions to Java coding. Customers are therefore not able to develop their own modules for modifications to the Analysis Web item.
SAP delivers a number of sample modules. You can use parameters to modify the display and behavior of these modules.
Procedure
You use the modules as follows:
       1.      Select a module from the sample modules.
       2.      Specify the module in the Modification parameter of the Analysis Web item.
       3.      Control the display and behavior of the module by specifying the module-specific parameters.
Result
The table of the Analysis Web item is displayed in an individual manner using the modules. The behavior of the table may also be different. For example, you can define commands for table cells.
Example
For example, you can define a fixed column width or display comments in cells.

Problem with layout in Web Application Designer

Hi all,
I am working with the BEx Web Application Designer. Well, I execute a web template in the browser, click on right button and choose enhanced menu, query properties and mark the check box Display Rows as Hierarchy and Expand to and from the list of values (combo-box) choose the last field that can be expanded.
Once all the lines have been expanded and the layout of the template is longer than a page, we look for a line that is not in the first page and contract it. The problem is that when we contract the line, the layout shows the first page, instead of the page where the line had been contracted. I have tried to solve this changing the properties that appear when the template is designed, but I haven´t found the solution. Is there any way so that i can solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Mª del Mar Bonilla.

Bonilla,
Welcome to SDN...
Try this out...
In the Query designer view , right click on the rows structure and select display as hierarchy. In case this option works fine , the behavior pointed out by you could be a possible bug.
Just update the result of what I have mentioned above...
Hope it helps..

URL link in rows/colomns of a report web application designer.

Hi,
I would like to create a URL link in a report which jumps to documents on livelink.
For example:
1. bw    30.000    www. google.nl
2. sap   40.000    www. sap.com
3. basis 50.000   www. nu.nl
etc.
etc.
Do all the rows have different URLS, is that possible in the web application designer? Or do I have to use RRI? Or a user exit?
Thanks for your help en replies.
Rishma.
Edited by: R. Debi on Oct 7, 2010 11:20 AM

I used the RRI already but would like to have a hyperlink in the report. (So, the prefix of the URL is always the same an I have put this in RRI and used the & and contract ID as dynamic part of the URL.)
In a BW web report, our customer would like to display a characteristic value as a hyperlink, so that when clicking on the link, the user is taken to an external website holding a document. SO I am just looking for a javascript perhaps? Or maybe even abap in transformation? To actually create the hyperlink in this report.
Thanks a lot,
Rishma

To use Web Application Designer release 2004s do we need to have portals???

Hi
I would like some clarity regarding whther we need a portal or not.
If you use Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x) it works fine, you can create reports and then it shows in SAP Easy Access under favourites. Executes fine, no portal is used.
Now when I want to use the new Web Application Designer I can not execute the reports. Gives me error
"Java communication error: RFC destination NOT_CONFIGURED does not exist", the window it appears in has a text saying it can't conect to the portal. Then notes that I look at regarding this seems that the connection between SAP BW and Portal must be set up.
So can please someone tell me whether you need the portal to use the new Web Application Designer release 2004s
Thanks in advance

1. Is it possible to hard-code/specify column widths of the analysis_item?
2. The property width of the analysis_item doesn't work, does it?
</b>
Thanks for your time and efforts.

Hi,
I have just discovered the capability of modifying columns widths with css properties.
So if I add to the head section of the html:
div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr1
div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr
div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr2
And later I put the AnalysisItem between a div class="prueba2" and /div, the columns widths are changed.
Do you know where can I find all the style properties (such as urSTTDBdr1) and its functions?
Thanks

Unable to open WAD (web application designer) in BW 3.5!

Hi,
when i open WAD through menu path (start->programs
->Business explorer->Web application designer), i am getting the following error!
WADConst
Please log on to a Netweaver BI 7.x system. System J2E does not have the minimum version required 70005.
I just can`t understand from where i got this BI 7.x system, when my system is BW 3.5 (NW04 platform).
can any one expalin me what is this problem? and suggest me to over come this problem?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi!
I assume that you installed the SAP GUI 6.40 with BI Addin (which contains the BI Frontend for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI).
In this case, you have a sub folder underneath "Business Explorer" in your startmenu named "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)".
You have to use this version of the BEx Web Application Designer.
If this is not the case, please create a Support Message with all detailed information (backend and frontend versions).
Thank you,
Tobias
