WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to use the WebElements when creating a report on a BW source (BEx) query. I have used WebElements quite a lot on non-SAP sources and works like a charm. Now I would like to use it on a SAP environment, but the controls are not displaying, only the HTML text.
Can anyone provide some insight to whether the WebElements are compatible on a SAP environment in Crystal or s there something special that needs to be done here.
Thanks
Jacques

Dear Jamie & Jacques,
Is there any news regarding this issue? I'm having the same issue here. I'm using BW datasource. My BOE, Crystal Report 2008, and Integration Kit are all on SP3 (with no FP applied yet).
All the WebElements components are shown as HTML tag.
But actually when i tried to remove the Datasource, the WebElements also don't show up. I've followed up all the instructions on the WebElements guide, and on the SDN link below.
I added WECalculator and WEBuilder using formula syntax below to the report. But they only show up as HTML tag.
Formula @calc (component WECalculator)
WECalculator ("number", "0", "Integer", "Enter an Integer value.")
Formula @builder (component WEBuilder)
stringvar allelements:= {@calc};
WEBuilder(allelements, 1)
I've done everything as per the guide and SDN link below:
browser interpretation
[Interpreting WebElements in the browser;
1) ensure that Can Grow is not checked on for the formulae that contain any webelements.
done
2) ensure that the formula in the designer is only 1 line in height...these 2 are required to make pass through html work in the viewers
done, i insert the 2 formulas to report and it appears as 1 single line.
3) the web server should be restarted after making the change to the web.xml file
done
if the above don't work please provide some more info such as
a) which version of business objects enterprise you are using
BOE, Crystal Report, and Integration Kit all on SP3. Below are the installation files i used (downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace).
Server
1. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 (ENTERPRISE03_0-10007443.EXE)
2. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Server installation
Client
1. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Client installation
2. Crystal Report 2008 v1 (SP3) Win Server on IA32 32bit Full Build (51038906.ZIP)
b) what viewer are you using
I ran the rpt file (saved without using .rpt extension) through InfoView.
c) does the select menu show up in the crystal reports designer html preview mode
It only shows up as HTML tag as well in the Crystal Report designer HTML preview mode.
Please help me.
Kind regards,

  • #Multivalue Error on Webi when Using BEx Query

    Hi All,
    I have created a Webi Report on top of SAP BW BEx Query. I have created a variable in Webi on top of a dimension. When I add that variable in the report block some of the Measures are showing as #Multivalue. I know we can get rid of this by creating a universe and then changing the properties of the measure to sum. However we do not plan to have a universe and would want to make the changes in the BEx query or in the Webi Report whereever applicable.
    Kindly suggest the solution at the earliest.
    Regards,
    James

    HI James,
    Creat Variable =
    =sum(Tonumber([Dimension]))
    use this variable in report , it will help you

  • Column Aliases not working when using MS Query into Excel?

    I setup an Oracle ODBC connection from my desktop to an Oracle 9i DB, and created an MS Query sql:
    select sysdate as "Today" from dual;
    When I tried to run it and return it to Excel, it would ignore the column alias of 'Today' and keep putting in 'SYSDATE' as the column header.
    SYSDATE
    ==========================
    2007-04-18 11:55:54
    What I expected was:
    TODAY
    ==========================
    2007-04-18 11:55:54
    I've read some other reports out there on the web and tried changing a registry entry per the MSDN knowledge base, but that didn't help. Several of the existing threads in this forum only refer to exporting directly to an Excel file from Oracle, rather than pulling the information from the db into excel using an abstraction layer such as ODBC (ADO would be similar I'm sure).
    Just curious if other Oracle SQL guys have run into this same problem. I'm sure somebody's had to use a column alias in their Oracle->Excel results before..

    Are you using SQL plus? Have you tried Oracle's SQL
    developer? It is free, does not require an install
    on your computer (you can run it from a flash drive),
    and it exports pretty smoothly to excel.I'm not using SQL Plus -- this was purely excel / ODBC as the client and Oracle as the database layer.
    I had looked at SQL Developer, along with DB Visualizer (along the same lines , as a sql gui with some export capability to .csv and excel formats). However, I don't think it quite served my purpose in trying to have a workable data-source where I could pull from Excel and use VBScript or C# to do the manipulation and customized reporting/charting/pivot-tabling.
    My eventual workaround was to bypass MS Query altogether for creating the 'external data table' in Excel, and instead create the query through code.

  • Transitions not rendering when using 'make movie'

    Hi there, I hope you can help I'm getting very frustrated!
    I am making a slideshow using imported tifs, and although my block dissolve transitions are working in preview mode, when I render the movie some of them just cut straight and there is no transition. I have tried re-saving the images in question, but still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Neil

    Have you checked the Alpha interpretation for the files? TIFFs often have an Alpha channel, even if it's not needed. This might have unexpected side effects...

  • Image not rendering when using Content Presenter Template

    I have checked in an image in UCM with security group as "Public" and in the content presenter template I have the following code to display image:
    <af:outputText value="#{node.propertyMap['TESTREGDEF:Image'].asTextHtml}" id="image5"
    escape="false"/>
    The image does not render on the page and it displays as a broken Image.I tried to print the value of the image URL and it is:
    <img src="${wcmUrl('rendition','xyz/web')} " alt = "Logo">
    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Hi Vinod,
    I tried using af:image like below and its the same issue.I have read in most of the blogs that since this is in the content presenter template, the image has to be displayed using output text with escape set to false.
    <af:image source="#{node.propertyMap['REGDEF:Image'].asTextHtml}" id="image5"/>
    I am not using <img> anywhere, its just that on the webpage when the image doesnt appear, I tried to see the source of the image using Firebug and it shows following:
    <img src="${wcmUrl('rendition','xyz/web')} " alt = "Logo">

  • Webelements : does not support when i add the data sourcce& view in HTML

    hi Masters,
    i am using sap crystal reports 2008 and when i add the data source and add tables to the report and i use web elements functions as my selection screen then it does not show i mean the script remains as it is and when i take out my data source
    then it works when i view it in HTML VIEWR.
    how can i make it to work despite me using the data soruce.
    thank you,
    pasala

    hi Pasala,
    this is due to the sap integration kit which does not support pass-through html. webelements require pass-through html in order to show up as html.
    here's what you can try though:
    1) install the latest sap integration kit on your boe system machine(s)
    2) if the above does not solve the issue follow the steps at the bottom of [this thread|WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source]
    3) if 2 above doesn't work then see [this thread |Re: WebElements only show HTML tags (even after following WebElement guides)]as a last resort
    hopefully step 1 & step 2 will solve the issue.

  • Error When Launcging BEX query into Web Browser

    Hi all,
    When Launching Bex query into Web browser from BEx Analyser it's giving this error message. We are using Bex 3.x tools.
    Technical Information for Message:
    Error loading template 0ADHOC
      Notification Number BRAIN 276
    Any help will appreciated!.
    Thanks,

    If you want to continue to use the ABAP-based runtime, create the template using the Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x).
    The templates called using the new Web Application Designer have new objects that are independent of the objects saved using Web Application Designer 3.x. This means that, unlike the old templates, they can no longer be called using parameter template_id=abc. Instead, you can address them from an iView using template=abc and they use the Java Web runtime in the portal. Only the old templates can be executed in transaction RSRT.
    In Web Application Designer 3.x, you can use parameter template_id=abc to call saved objects.
    Note 1014795 - Error BRAIN 276 when you execute a Web template
    Hope it Helps

  • Images on Facebook do not appear when using different web browsers

    Images on Facebook do not appear when using Safari on my Macbook Pro (I've tried Google Chrome too with the same result).  This makes me think it's a setting within OS Mavericks that I'm missing.  I have not seen this issue on any other computers.  This only occurs on my, and others' profile pictures on my profile page and on the news feed, not photos that are posted in albums or on walls.  and yes, i have images enabled in Safari.
    In safari the images don't appear, and in their place is a small blue "?" square >>.
    In Chrome it appears as a broken image link >>
    Has anyone encountered this?  Is there a fix?  It is very annoying.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Module borders not displaying when using Aggregator

    I am using Captivate 4.  I created a TOC for both modules in a project. Then I created an Aggregator to connect them and display both TOCs.
    The issue I am havving is that the individual modules have borders on all 4 sides, yet they do not display when using the aggregator. How do I correct this?
    Thank you.

    Lenny,
    I apologize for not having an answer to your question, but I'm envious that you've successfully configured mod_jk. I've read several different versions of how to configure this, but nothing has worked so far. I wonder if you could either point me to some correct instructions on how to integrate Apache and Tomcat so I might try to duplicate your success.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vince
