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.

What GUI to use web application designer in BI 7.0 without support package

I use BI in my ECC 6.0 system.
I use tried both GUI 7.1 and GUI 6.40 to logon web application designer.
But system display the message please logon to a Netweaver BI 7.x system. System A11 does not have a mimumium version required 7007.
My system seems to be 7000, so what GUI is suitable to use for WAD?
Thanks
Giang

Hi,
It could be problem with either Support package which you are using for BI or Front end patch which you need to install for GUI.
please check with minimal installations and let me know with current support package and FEP you are using.

Web Application Designer 3.5 and Filter-Item with Structure

Hello,
I have the filter-item in a web application which is based on a query with a structure in the rows. Now I want to disable the visibility of the structure in the filter-element. Is that possible?
Edited by: Gerrit Lober on Jun 9, 2008 2:15 PM

Hi,
is the structure in the rows the structure of the key figures? or did you create your own structure for the characteristics?
don't think it's possible...

BEx Web Application Designer old tool?

Hi,
Someone told me that BEx Web Application Designer is an old tool that's not used anymore. And that Visual Composer and Web Dynpro are better tools to use. Is this correct?
Also, I was wondering if anyone could explain the difference between BEx Web Application Designer, Visual Composer and Web Dynpro. What situations do one use the different tools?
Kind regards,
Maria Perez

Welcome to SDN
Bex Web Application is not an old tool and it is widley used for Web Reporting.
Actually the purpose of these three tools are different so all of them are extensively used.
Please see the following links for more details

Print a Web Template with Web Application Designer 3.X

Hello
I would know how I can print a web template made with Web Application Designer 3.X and that it is in the Intranet.
Actually I'm printing that page with the option of the browser (Internet Explorer) but it print only I see, no print all the chart and the rest of the columns.
How can I print all the data that compose the web template?
Thank you.

Hello Sharath,
First check whether you have change authorizations for WAD, check you user name is added in the role for web templates and also check the authorizations.
then in the web template in the menu bar go to view option ,select web items and properties , so that you can find them in the left hand side, then replace the chart item with the table and assign the query to the table.
hope it is clear,
assign points if useful.

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..

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,
Tobias

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.
Thanks,

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.

RSBOLAP 018 Java system error in BEx Web Application Designer

Hello,
while doing inside BEX Web Application Designer "validation of webtemplate" with
command "validate on server" I get following error message of WAD :

Hello
It is obvious that the connection between the ABAP and the Java is not working.
There should be a JCo RFC from the portal side to the ABAP stack set up and an RFC from the ABAP stack to the portal.
Check the entries of the table RSPOR_T_PORTAL
The RFC specified here should be the one mentioned above (ABAP - Java)
Check the name of the system should be SAP_BW
Is the parameter icm/host_name_full set on the ABAP stack with the domain name ?
Connect to the BI portal:
http://FQDN:5NN00/irj/portal
Navigate to system administration -> system configuration -> system landscape -> expand "portal content" -> systemlandscape -> SAP_BW
Right click on SAP_BW - Open - Object
Here you need to maintain these:
ITS Description - BW ABAP Logical System Name - Tx SCC4 or BD54
ITS Host Name - FQDN_OF_BW_ABAP:port - You can use the value of icm/host_name_full parameter and retrieve port number from Tx SMICM - Services
ITS Path - /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
ITS Protocol - Select http
Logical System Name - BW ABAP Logical System Name - Tx SCC4 or BD54
Logon Method -SAPLOGONTICKET
Message server - BW ABAP FQDN
SAP Client - BW ABAP Client Number
SAP System ID (SID) - BW ABAP SID
Server Port - 39NN
Web AS Description - BW ABAP Logical System Name - Tx SCC4 or BD54
Web AS Host Name - FQDN_OF_BW_ABAP:port - icm/host_name_full and retrieve port number from Tx SMICM - Services
Web AS Path - /sap/bw/BEx
If everything is set properly then do a test connection.
Good Luck

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.....
Nick.

Try using ST22 to see if it gives you a detailed error message. If it is listed it will tell you what it is missing.

Web Application Designer standstill since BW SP25 / BI Java SPS 23

Hi experts,
in February we implemented the latest SPs into a SAP development system of our customer.
Since then the BEx Web Application Designer doesn't work anymore for them.
It just hangs up and you cannot even close it.
I will provide the tracefile in an answer to this post because otherwise the post won't be readable.
I've found note 1437358 concerning NullPointerException (but not NullReferenceException) but I doubt that this has something to do with our issue.
Does anybody have an idea what could cause this problem and how it could be solved?
WAD 7.20 is used.
