Web Application Designer - Workbook Publish

Hi All.
I want to know with Web Application Designer is it possible to use workbooks for reporting?
Please specify links for reference .
Appreciate your response.
Thanks

Hi,
Creating templates using WAD,will take the Data Provider as Query and not workbook.
Hence you can't use workbook for reporting with WAD.
Workbook will come into picture in case of BEx Analyzer,wherin you will create a workbook on top of a query.

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 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.

Bex Web Application Designer 3.5

Hello, I am having trouble publishing a web template using Web Application Designer 3.5. Our BW version is 7.0. The underlying query in the Web App. is still 3.5.   After editing it..I did a "save" and "Publish in Role".   When I look at the report on the portal, it shows up as garbage.   Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Dear Sam,
Theer are several problems with WAD 3.x.
Please, review these notes below:
note 1390941 -   Incomprehensible characters when executing 3.X Web template
          To remove this entry you can't use the WAD. Please logon to the BW
          backend system and execute the report "RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN" (via
          transaction SE38). Open the template and manually remove the mentioned
          tag.
note 1391689 -   WAD 3.x is not supported in MS Windows 7
This should solve the issue.

EP BW Integration (BW Web application designer settings)

Hi all,
I have a BW Web Application Designer. I wanted to Publish the reports into EP. When I goto Publish I see 2 options EP 6.0 and EP5.0. But the option EP6.0 is not enabled in the desinger.Is that any configurations I have to do in my BW system or in the Designer.
Second thing is that I am interested in uploading a user created BW role into my Enterprise Portal.
Can anyone could give me the step by step approach for the same.
Helping answering will be certainly rewarded.
Thanks,
Balaji S

Hi Balaji,
user created BW role -- if you mean a Role created for BW activitty ... you can very well do it.
You can create a BW iview by giving require details in the BW iview template then put it in a page, then add the page to a workset and add the workset to a role.
Then assign the the BW role to the concerned users using User administrator.
In the portal log in as administrator and click on the user administration->roles->search the concerned user you need to assign the BW role-> click the edit link --> search the BW role and add the role and save it.
Hope it helps.

Vivekanandan

Role Menu (Web Application Designer)

Hi,
In the new Web Application Designer (2004s) the "role menu" item doesn't exist anymore.
I heard that there is a "portal" with the 2004s and the user must access their queries through this portal.
How does it work ? I still publish queries in role and then the portal could see the role ?
Somebody has documentation on that ?
Thanks in advance
Aleksi

Hi,
There is a menu point "Publish" under "Web Template" menu. You should find the functions there:
- In role
- to portal
- BEx Broadcaster

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..

P.S Assigning points is a way fo saying thank you in SDN

How to create a date range in Web Application Designer

I am using 3.1 version of Web App Designer. I need to create a report with date ranges. I can get one date to work but not two (I need a start date and end Date).

Any suggestions??
Thanks

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,

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,
