WEB Application / Dynamic variable input / Prompts

I've defined a variable on characteristic Currency with the following definition:
Processing by : User Entry/ Default Value
Variable represents : Single Value
Variable entry is : Optional
Ready for input : yes
Can be changed in query nav: yes
Default Value : EUR
This variable ist used in "Currency Translation" as "Target currency" (variables entry: yes)
The query is used in a Web-Report that performs the following command by selecting currencies from a checkbox:
url=SAP_BW_URL_Get() +"&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=SL_CURR&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=";
url=url+value;
(value is the code of the selected currency)
Everything works pretty good, but opening the web-report I get a prompt window for the variable. How can I avoid this ?
Changing the variable property <Ready for input : no> causes the effect that the dynamically changing of the variable doesn't work anymore. It seems that in this case always the default value of the variable is taken.
The application should use the default value while opening the report, afterwards it should be possible to set the variable dynamically.
Thank you very much for your ideas !!

Hi Stefan,
you can activate/deactivate the variable screen with parameter "Force Variable Screen" in your web template.

Web Application Designer : Variables for Ad-Hoc Report

Hi,
I have to modify the default template who is used to display the variable entries ...
Someone know the technical name of the web template that's call when I push the button "Variable Screen" ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

There is no extra template executed when processing the variable screen.
It is just a command within the current template:
CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X

Web Application Designer Variable Screen = X

Hello all,
I have a question concerning an option in WAD where you flag the variable screen. <bi:VARIABLE_SCREEN value="X">.
We are using the 0Analysis template and upon selecting the "New Analysis" button which opens up a selection screen to choose a particular BEx Report and execute. Prior to setting the option within the button to flag the variable screen = X, when selecting the "New Analysis" button the second time for a new report, we would not get a variable selection screen to choose our values even though the report clearly has selection variables. So as a work around we flagged this option to force a variable screen.
The issue is now that if a particular report we choose does not have a any selection variables, we get a message that says No variables available and it closes without executing the report.
Does anyone have any suggestions or options we could do?
The 'New Analysis" button is made up of the following:
1. Load
2. SET_VARIABLES_STATE
Thank you in advance.

Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks

Forms, web applications, dynamic pages

Hi.
Can someone tell me what the best method is to create a form
in DW? Correct me if I am wrong as I am quite new to this, but I
see a lot of sites out there with different types of
pages...they're using .aspx, .jsp, .php, .cgi, .html, .asp .cfm
.........etc. Which one do you use??
I want a form for contact info filled in & then you click
a submit button & an email goes to your email listing all the
fields & the entries of whoever filled your form. What is the
difference of all of those mentioned above?
Also what is the difference between .aspx & .asp?
.html & .htm?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Forms can be html pages but once the submit button is clicked
the form is
usually processed on the sever hence the .asp. .aspx .jsp
.php etc.
Search google for active server pages. You can also look at
the help file
for info on database sites.

Dynamic deployed web application doesnt' work in managed server

Hi:
Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong:
1. I create a new web application DYNAMICALLY (i.e. copy directory to
applications directory)
2. I assigned one of the managed server as target for the new
application
3. Restart managed server
4. Try to access the new application in managed server, and get error
message:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is
given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the
client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone)
status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally
configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and
has no forwarding address.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

See my answer to your last post. The short answer is that the HttpClusterServlet is
          likely to be the problem and not the cluster. You can try one of the web server plugins
          or a hardware load balancer as a temporary workaround. You should file a case with
          support too...

Hi Benjamin,
If you're getting a Null Value error anywhere, that means a variable you're referencing isn't set to anything. If you're getting that try echoing out each variable after it's assigned to see if it's set to anything.
The link you are referring is for SharePoint 2010 and verified on Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2008, but not Windows Server 2012.
The approach in this case includes the following per the blog:
Check to see if a web application with the current specified URL is already in use – exit if it is
Check to see if an application pool with the name already exists. If so use it, otherwise create one
Create a web application based on the parameters specified
Assign the object cache properties to the new web application
Create policies for the object cache users to the web application
To simplified the code, we could use powershell below to check if web application and application pool have been already in use ahead. And skip the last two steps in the first time.
Get-SPWebApplication | fl displayname, applicationpool
Please refer to New-SPWebApplication
which is used to create a new web application within the local farm:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607931(v=office.15).aspx. Only two parameters i.e. ApplicationPool and Name are required, we could try a simple command at first:
Please run Get-SPManagedAccount to check the managed account, then execute the command below:
$ap = New-SPAuthenticationProvider
New-SPWebApplication -Name "Contoso Internet Site" -Port 2014 -ApplicationPool "ContosoAppPool" -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount "Domain\Administrator")
-AuthenticationProvider $ap -SecureSocketsLayer

How to deploy XML schemas a web application?

Generating web applications ?

I want to be able to write a web application that takes Input from the user and based on the input data generates another web application and deployes it to the Application Server.
Say web application A generates web application B that is to be deployed under /appB and to use a datasource myDS.
My problem is that once the content of B has been generated, how do I deploy it automatically from A to the Application Server. Or in other words, how do in interact with the Application Server from A, telling it to deploy B under /appB, and to create a Datasource named myDS to be used by B?
Suppose later at some time user instructs A to make changes to datasource of B, how would I interact with the Application Server to achieve this ?

On many app servers, the app server itself reloads or redeploys an application if the configuration files change. If it doesn't do this, the specific app server might have an RMI interface which lets you force it.

Dynamic image display (based on variable attribute) in Web application?

Hi experts,
I am using a Web Template (from the Web application designer) based on a BEx Query.
This web template displays a logo (jpg image) and the report.
Is there a way to add another image to my web app and having the right logo displayed depending on a characteristic (sales organization for example) chosen in the variable screen (before the first rendering)?
Thanks for your help.
Points will be given to useful answers.
Cheers,
Olivier

Thanks for your helpful answers guys.
Andrey's tutorial helped me to catch the sales org variable value in a variable named salesorg (Script Item in the web template as well as Data Provider Info Item).
Now could you explain how/where to use this variable to swith images? Is this still in the same Script_item where i should be able to "hide" / "show" the following XHTML tag?:
<img etc ....... img<
Thanks for your help, I'm a bit confused on this last point (and not so comfortable with Java Script).

Missing texts in WEB with F4-help combined with variable input.

I've defined a characteristic with text : short text, medium length text and long text. The texts are language independent.
I've defined a variable for this characteristic and I've defined a BEX-report that provides a variable-filter for this characteristic in the filter area. I've also set the property Display as to text or Key and Text
When I start the report the prompt-window appears and then I can perform F4 on the input field for this characteristic. Then a selection box opens showing the key and all texts - short desription, medium descr. and long desc.
If I use this report in the web-Application designer or if I launch this report directly in the WebBrowser I'll also get a selection box but no texts appear.
What can I do to see these texts also in WEB ? Where can I influence the search help for the web (in BEX it works perfectly) ?
Additional information: By defining the info object there is a tab for Business Explorer settings. For general settings I've choosen Text for the property Display. What is really strange is that in Bex-Explorer the property Display as always shows Key as a default although I've entered Text in RSA1. I've also inspected other characteristics where there are no missing texts. Here I've found out that in the info object there is Text choosen as attribut for Display -> in the Bex itself Text is shown as a default too.

Hello there,
I am having a similar problem but I have found this is due to either of two reasons.
1) The object is compounded
2) The compounded object is authorisation relavant and the security is stopping the masterdata being read properly.
Hope this helps narrow down your search.

Displaying dynamic variable text in WEBi

Hi I would like to populate data to my dashboard using a Webi report. My datasource is BI query.
In this query I have two dynamic variable values where the user needs to enter the starting period & ending period
If the user enter starting period as 2009 & ending period as 2010 it should display the text as Dynamic year 2009 to 2010
as below
Region -
Dynamic year 2009 t 2010
WW_______41
if the user enter the values starting period as 2008 & ending period as 2011 it should display the text as Dynamic year 2008 to 2011
IThe result was successful in the BI query but when I us eteh same query in Webi & when I run the webi report it prompts me to enter the starting period & ending period values & when I execute it it displays the values for this period but not showing the text it dispaying the technical name instead of teh dynamic text like below
Region -
&CRMTFY&CRMTEY&
WW_______41
How can I get these dynamic text
Thanks

Hi Sirisha,
Use User responce Function for diaplying the input data as
User Responce('(dataprovider(any data object name)), 'prompt name')
In the 1st parameter try to use diff functions available in BO instead of hrdcoding data provider name.
Cheers,

Variable input in Webi Report

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to create a Webi report which has 3 key figure columns.
While executing report It should ask for input variable fiscal year/period.
Now 1st key figure colum should show Amount for the fiscal year/period I entered as an input variable.
2nd column should show Amount for previous YTD for the fiscal year I entered.
For Ex. if I enter 04.2009 it should show amount for 01.2009 - 04.2009 and if I enter 04.2008 then it should show amount for 01.2008-04.2008.(based on the variable input I provide)
3rd column should provide the Amount <= ficsal period I enter as an input.
Can anyone guide how would I achieve this?

Nirav Shah

Hi Nirav,
what is the granularity of the time dimension of your data in your report? Generally you make sure that you fetch all required in your report and then use formulas (applying the if operator on the time field of your data and the value returned from your prompt) to calculate the desired key figures.

Where to store "global variable" for a web application

There are some "global" variables in my portal web application. e.g. email server
name, admin email address etc. Will web.xml context-param a good place to store these
kind of information?
If so, how do I retrieve it back from a java class? It is easy in a jsp file: appalication.getAttribute(),
but how about a pipeline component or input processor which are all java file.
Please help!
Thank you very much

I still believe that the information like connectivity parameters to remote
servers in the distributed environments would be best stored in the JNDI
tree. I agree, that it is not a "general storage area", but I am not talking
about storing application run-time data either.
In the clustered environments it would provide additional benefits of
centralizing this kind information across the cluster.

Mike

JNDI is not a general-purpose storage area, although you could bind data
in a JNDI tree. A better (and simpler) way is to store them as context
parameters. You could read the initial values for these variables from a
servlet init parameters.

I would advise to put you global variable in JNDI tree.
You can use jndi.properties file to store name-value pairs, which will
get
loaded into jndi tree at the server startup. Just put this file in your
application class path.
The other method would be to code a startup class to store the global
variable in the jndi tree.
