Web Application Designer thinks that script outside head is a bad idea

Hi all,
I am using BW Web Application Designer to create a web interface for out offshore users. I found an annoying bug in WAD that is driving me up the wall:
When I place <script> tags within <body> (or anywhere outside <head> tags, really) in the HTML view of WAD, and change to Layout view, the automatic HTML validation places "</head><body>" tags after the terminating </script>.
Presumably this is because WAD thinks that the scripts should be contained within the header, and the header closing and body opening tags are missing, and tries to fix this by adding them.
Is there any way to fix this bug?

Web application designer basics

hi experts,
i am bw learner and want to know few things
1) how do we publish report developed in web application designer so that we can access it on internet. Is there any webserver offered by sap.
2) how that report will be authenticated in browser, do we have to create a login page for users or is there any built in one.
3) Does web application designer comes with Sap GUI (like bex analyzer) or do we have to install separate programme.
Points will be assigned. thanks

I would suggest that you search the forums first ...
1) how do we publish report developed in web application designer so that we can access it on internet. Is there any webserver offered by sap.
SAp BI comes with a ABAP Web server and a JAVA web server. You can publish the web template / report using these servers ... they can be directly accessed using the URL ( the application has a feature to execute the same in the web ) or the same can be published as a page on Enterprise portal and then accessed from there.
2) how that report will be authenticated in browser, do we have to create a login page for users or is there any built in one.
The access for the same will be through the BI login. When you execute the URL , you will be prompted to login by the server and you do not need to create a separate login page for the same. You can also access them through Enterprise portal where the user needs to login to the enterprise portal and then access all systems using a Single Sign On or SSO.
3) Does web application designer comes with Sap GUI (like bex analyzer) or do we have to install separate programme.
The front end for Web Application designing is called Web Application designer and it gets installed along with your GUI installation and you can design the templates using the same.
Note: WAD is getting phased out by Xcelsius as part of the BI BO roadmap but then with extended support you will have WAD supported till about 2016 I guess so nothing to worry right now.

Hiding table columns in web application designer

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to hide the columns of a table which im using in a web application template as analysis. E.g : if i have 7 columns in my table and i dont want to show that particular column i.e 7th and m using the same query somewhere else also to show other information so i cannot change my query but i want to hide it at web application designer level.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Preetha,
I think best solution to your problem(keeping future enhancements in mind) is to create a query view based on the query that you are using.
Move the unwanted characteristics to free chars section or hide the unwanted key figures.
Then resave this query view.
You can use this query view as a data provider to this table.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,

Chart Interface In web application designer?

Hi experts:
I want to know if there is chart interface in web application designer?when i click a node in the chart ,it can triggle a js to jump to another page to show the detail? how I can do it?
I think there do have method to implement,as when I put the mouse on the node of the chart ,the "javascipt:;" shows in the status bar of the IE ,I don't know where can I write the JS ?
Best Regards
chan.

Hi Chan,
1. You type tcode RSBBS in BW system
2. Under Query Tab, there is 'Sender' field. You input the the origin query.
3. Click 'Create' button, you choose the report type that you want to jump into. In you case, if you want to jump into a web template, choose 'BW Web Application'
4. In 'Report' field, choose the destination query/web template.
For more details, please look at this link

Web Application Designer - Bug

Hi All,
I keep losing all my BW URL's in Web Application Designer and it is becoming very frustrating.
For some reason when I save a template after making changes it sometimes replaces all the BW URL's which I have coded with:-
<A href="[SAP_BW_URL_!IID_688]">
And I have to go through and put them all back in again.
Is there something I can do to stop this happening?
Thanks in advance.

Sean,
Actually It happened with me too once, I lost all my icons like download to excel, exception, conditions etc and then had to put that back again.
But after that I have made chnages and it didnt happen, It think it happens if you are in HTML tab at the bottom and are trying to chnage the html code, like your gif file path or something, then when you reactivate it messes some of the custom code in it. So please try to be out of HTML mode while reactivating......
I have another issue though, I have a gif file in the html code that i uploaded from MIME repository. This file has the path of dev system example sapb83.com....
sapb83 points to out dev system, now when i transport this to our Production system, while excution of query from BEX Browser, it prompts for dev passoword becasue of the gif file path being from dev..... how can this be made dynamic ??
thanks
surendra Jain
PS: SEAN, if you have upgraded to 3.5, please tell me your expereince with upgrade, we are also on 3.1 and will upgrade soon to 3.5, are there some hurdles which if i know before hand will help?? if you would like to share, my email is [email protected]

Change Layout Web Application Designer

Hello Gururs.
Here's the question:
I'm creating a Web Application Designer Template. When I execute it in the web, the variable screen has certain colors (kind of blue colors) the standard, but after inputing the variables when I click on Ok button, the display of the query is very mediocre, i.e., the standard, is representing the query in a table with the columns and rows in gray!
I would like to change these colors, but I don't know how.
I believe that in older versions you used to have an option in WAD of choosing the stylesheet (CSS), that now in the 7.0 version is unavailable.
How can I change the layout presentation of the queries format in the WAD?
Thank You,
Diogo Ferreira.

Hi Diogo,
The table colors are from the EP settings.
I often insert a line like this in the head of the template:
<style type="text/css" >.urSTSHL2 { background-color:#CCDAF6 } .urSTSHL1 { background-color:#CCDAF6 }</style>
It will overrule the standard CSS from the EP and it also works with IP queries.
The alternative is to change the overall setting or change theme in the EP.
Hope this helps.

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.

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

Web Application Designer: Column width on analysis_item with BW 7.0

Hi,
I'm new to SAP world and I have found a problem I'm not able to solve. I'm working with the Web Application Designer and I want to modify the cell properties (such as cell width) for aligning different queries. In fact, my question are:
<b>
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,

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.

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.
