Web Reporting Authorizations for Web Application Designer

Hi,
any information on authorizations in context with the Web Application Designer would be appreciated. I know the data access is regulated the normal class RS and RSR authorization objects. Any way to secure and regulate access to the Web items in the WAD?
thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Security settings are the standard ones (RS/RSR) as you mention plus limiting access to Web templates using roles.
I do not know any mean to limit access at the web item level; you can define security restrictions on the underlying queries though.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Report to Report - Web Application Designer

    I have created a simple template using BEx Web Application Designer. The Query I've picked is set up with receiver reports. e.g. I want to do a report to report interface from the data in my template to another query and another template. However when I choose Goto on the data and select the query I want it opens the data but opens it using a template I havent created. A standard template? How do I get the query I go to to open with one of my templates? Do I have to do some linking somewhere?

    Hello Joel,
    Have you put your new template in 'Set standard web templates'?
    Txn rscustv27?  this may not work but it is worth a try. u would need to put it in the bottom option.
    Another way to do this would be to create an iview for each query and in the the query properties you can assign what template you will use under 'bex web application query string'.  The iView properties can be found in the Portal Content Directory.  i think this will definatley work.
    Also one other thing to look at in WAS is the RRI options (in the properties of the web template).  This may have something in there.
    Enjoy your friday.....

  • Web Application designer display authorization

    Hi,
    How can I restrict web application designer authorization to just display?
    Thanks
    Unni

    Hi Unni,
    I know that it is possible to insert an authority check for the starting activity of the Web Appl.Designer (just to delete the comment character from the first row of the  RSAH_TOOL_AUTHTY_CHECK function module, as explained in the OSS Note 605417), but I don't know if the type of restriction you need is available (design only on the Web AD) on the system...
    Hope this helps.

  • Difference Between Web application design and Report Designer

    Hi,
    I have searched in the forum as well i Google it but still i am not clear the difference between Web application Designer and report Designer , why especially we go for WAD ? and  what is not possible in Report designer which we can do in WAD  Please some one explain me that would be great helpful to me. i am having lot of confusion in this issue.
    thanks,
    Gal

    Hi,
    The Report designer is completely for formating of your query and results. Here you have the flexibility to design your query(one/more) results in your own way.
    The WAD is for displaying various web items at one short for a single/multiple query. And here you have the flexibility to do the XML coding on the web items, but not as much you have the flexibility on Report Designer.
    But, Report designer will have more performance issues than WAD. So, generally it helps when you need extreme formating of your reports.
    Hope this clears your doubt.

  • How to create own Web Items for Web Application Designer

    Hi all,
    is it possible to create own Web Items for the Bex Web Application Designer? Each Web Item has a Master Web Item and a class that is responsible for rendering data. I need a solution to get the Web Item's data - i.e. the content of a table (if Web Item = table). So my approach would be to create an own (Standard) Web Item with an own class. For example I would like to change the table's Web Item parameter <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/> to an own class...
    Is this possible?
    Or ist there any possibility to get the Web Item's data by an interface?
    Any support is welcome...thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Dominik

    if you want to create your own webitem check out the link given by other sdner.

  • 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

  • Print PDF file with the lay out created in the BEx web application designer

    Got the following questions (problems) when print a web report created in BEx Web Application Designer to a PDF file:
    1. The tile (which has a company logo and report name in it) was not printed, is it possible to print a title (with company logo) on each page of the PDF file?
    2. Want print the filters that have value specified on the PDF file, is it possible to do this?
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hi Simon,
    you can achieve this requirement i.e. using this way of implementation:
    1. Create a new template which contains the required fields (company logo etc) and set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template and add the filter values (variable names) you want to display on the PDF. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
    2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item.
    3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
    If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly.

    Marcel

  • Bex Web Application Designer issue: portal communication error

    hi experts,
    I am working with Bex Web Application Designer in BI7. we are using SP9. When i try to use the Web template its giving below error.
    The Requested operation could not be performed due to portal communication error.
    its message class is RSBOPLAP and message number is 018 and description is Java System error: An unknown error occured During portal communication.
    when i double click the below error details given.
    Diagnosis
    An error occurred in the BI components on the SAP J2EE Engine.
    System Response
    Procedure
    Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose "<J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
    The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log Viewer under "Cluster <computer name>" -> "Server <server number>" -> "<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<INSTANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<NUMBER>\log". ". In Unix, the file is located under "/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NUMBER>/log".
    If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "<J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" -> "webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the log level with the most information. You can save your settings by choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the overall performance of the system.
    please give solutions to resolve the issue.
    regards

    hi shambhu,
    thanks for the reply, yes its related to basis but they are unable to trace it out. is SP9 support Bex Report Designer and Bex WAD??

  • Web Application Designer broadcast select Web Items

    Hello all,
    I have a request to use the broadcast only select web items, Chart/Analysis items only in a Web Application Designer Template. Is this possible? I've tried the option "Data Binding"  Report [ITEM_REF] but that didn't work and brought everything in my Web Template in my PDF broadcast to Email. It seems to ignore the Data Binding and bring everything in the template, pictures, Charts, Analysis items. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to select only select web items to broadcast via PDF?
    Thank you in advance!

  • Query on WAD (Web Application Designer)

    We have got request from the user on one WAD u2013 Web Application Designer Report for the extra functionality.
    This WAD report contains 7 tabs, for each tab there is a separate query view has bee designed with default variable values.
    While running the WAD report user will input values in the variable window for the variables (Eg: Fiscal Year, Org.Structureu2026etc), after executing the report, if the user switch to another tab in the same report, the variable values entered before execution of the report will not pass to the another tab by default because the query views have been designed in such a way that each query view will have its own default values.
    Now the user is expecting the variable values entered for the first tab should be passed to other tabs as well, is it possible to pass values from one tab to another tab?
    If its possible, could you guide us where (HTML code or web template parameters or any another things) exactly the required changes/modifications need to be made in WAD report?
    Thanks in advance.
