Why is Visual COmposer considered a SOA tool?
Hello Experts,
Ive always wondered the logic behind VC being mentioned as a VC tool.
What are the standout features in VC w.r.t composite development?

Date Format from webservice to Visual Composer
Hi all,
i'm using a webservice in a visual composer.
My webservices gives me some fields, three of this fields are date type in the following format:
YYYY-MM-DD (eg. 27.05.2008), this is soap message of the webservice.
when i insert those date in a table, Visual Composer changes the format as following:
MM.DD.YYYY (eg. 05.03.2010) where Visual Composer consider 27 like 12 months12months3 months, 3 is march, and its increase year (2010) becouse of 24 (12+12) months.
Portal language setting is English, and i cannot change it.
There is someone that can help me??
Thanks!!!!Hi,
Then the formate you can change in Visual composer to YYYY.MM.DD using Date fromulae .
Plz check in the Formate tab of the Date field and chenge it to respective Formate you want.

BPM TOOL, what is Visual Composer Vs any other BPM Tool
Could you please share information regarding using a modeling tool to author business process [as-is/to-be]
ours is new implemantation and we already own sap business suite software, and our implementation /configuration Team is considering of using a bpm tool to do capture the processes.
my question is what leverage can we take of Visual Composer ? when compared with other BPM Tool.If you have license for SAP Suite, then there is lot of things you can leverage with VC than it being useless if otherwise.
1. You can combine the output from the quick design and code free modeling environment of Visual Composer with the output from a full coding environment like Web Dynpro ABAP or BSP? Actually you can do just such a thing thanks to Portal Eventing. You can trigger event from VC. Yes, you can combine ABAP and VC
2. You can extend Visual Composer through Web Services
3. You can do an MDM integration in VC - combining data from varied sources
4. You can build a Web Services Based Visual Composer Application. Visual Composer has the capability to easily link to and consume a web service from within the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer storyboard.
Also, if you are using BSP, these applications can be linked into a Visual Composer application. The linking is done via portal eventing. Linking these two technologies into a single application with receiving and parsing the Visual Composer event string from within ABAP.
5. SAP has released 300+ Enterprise Services and there are many ways to consume these. A BPX can use Visual Composer and the Composite Application Framework (CAF) to consume SAP Enterprise Services using MDD - Model drived development.
6. SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer users can develop rich graphical interfaces that extend current investments in their SAP NetWeaver infrastructure by using Flex technology (colloboration with Macromdeia) , and businesses can gain credible, clear and comprehensive business insights through new analytics solutions. There are 100+ IS specific Analytic Applications.
With the new improvements in VC 7.0 it is very clear that the future benefits align and will be much more leveraged with Visual composer
Hope this helps
Cheers

Basava RajuHi James,
For Visual Composer no need any Front end tools.. you need portal connection.. to configure your visual compoer.. the visla composer it self contain all the items.. just like a Webtemplate..
all the reports.. that web based reports or dash boards we can view through Browser only..
for creating reports in visal composer.. just go thru this links..

How to use BEx or Visual Composer to visualize 3rd party tool data?
Hello,
could you give me ideas how to visualize non-SAP warehouse data with BEx or Visual Composer?
I know that one option is virtual provider with connection to external DW. I do not want to load data into BW.
Is there any other way? If yes, how it can be done?
Thanks,
ak3.3 Connectivity and Interoperability
This section briefly describes:
The means of connecting Visual Composer Storyboard to the required back-end systems
The technology environments to which models composed in Storyboard can be deployed
Connectivity with Back-End Systems
Visual Composer provides tools that let you connect via the portal to back-end applications defined in the portal system landscape. This connection enables you to import into your model the relevant function modules on which you want to base your iViews. The imported function modules are referred to as data services.
Normally, you can connect to any installation of a back-end application to import a data service, and then deploy the content to any portal that enables access to an instance of the same back-end application. However, if the customer installation of the back-end application includes customized function modules, you will need to import the data services in the customer environment, in order to retrieve the customized functions.
Most connections to back-end systems are accomplished using the SAP and JDBC connectors deployed automatically as part of the connector framework installed with the portal. The SAP connector provides access to R/3 and BW systems, while the JDBC connector provides access to a wide range of databases, including Microsoft SQL, Oracle, DB2 and others.
BI connectors, installed separately in the portal, can be used to access a range of different data, including multidimensional cubes, relational tables and queries. Connectivity is based on defining a system in the portal landscape. You may define systems for the following connections:
BI XMLA
BI ODBO
BI JDBC
BI SAP Query
In addition, you can configure the BW system, installed automatically with the SAP connector, for accessing predefined queries.
The following table describes the systems from which Visual Composer can import data, and the connectors that are required. The Connector (second column) indicates the name of the connector used to install the system in the portal. -
Hi,
My portal team is currently developing some reports using the SAP Visual Composer tool. How do we make a BW cube or ODS available for VC to see?
They can currently see only a few of the cubes, but we don't know how those are visible to VC and not others.
Thanks
PMPM,
i dont believe we can see cubes or ods thru VC, but only queries. if what you say is true, then its probably due to the user authorizations on BW. the userId you use in portal is normally mapped to a userId in the BW system. chck the userID that you're mapped to (in BW bckend) has the relevant authorizations to view those cubes etc.

Eventing in Visual Composer 7.1 Enhancement Package 1
We are running Enhancment Package 1 on 7.1 and the release note says that client side event is supported. However I build 2 iViews one with Data Entry text iput and and a signal out and the the sencond one with a signal in and a text field. I cannot get what I type in to the first iView to pass to the second. Is there a simple example that illustrates that eventing is working in this release.
I used the non WEB Dynpro event tested with the following results.
For an iView that I had build with Visual Composer 7.0 and converted using the CE 7.1.1 converter tool I now see the following. In this case the evnt had the prefix urn: on it
10:20:12 : urn:com.osisoft.pct.RtPM, AdhocTags, %3CParamsversion%3D%223%22%3E%3CRowParamname%3D%22%5C%5Cgsrtwebparts%5Ccdt158%22%2F%3E%3C%2FParams%3E, undefined
This same iView on Visual Composer 7.0 delivered the following message using the tool in EP 7.0
10:52:46 : urn:com.osisoft.pct.RtPM, AdhocTags, <Params><param name="Paramname" value="%5C%5Cgsrtwebparts%5Ccdt158"/></Params>, undefined
For an iView that I created new with Visual Composer 7.1.1 and tried to use the same tool the tool did not catch the event and nothing was displayed in the log when the event name had urn: on it.
I rebuilt and removed the urn: and now the tool picked up the event with the following log.
11:12:29 : urn:com.osisoft.pct.RtPM, AdhocTags, %3CParamsversion%3D%223%22%3E%3CRowParamname%3D%22%5C%5Cgsrtwebparts%5Ccdt158%22%2F%3E%3C%2FParams%3E, undefined
The XML has changed and the use of urn: is inconsistent between versions.
Thanks for pointing me to this tool.
The Web Dynpro version you suggest did not show anything so that is why I tried the non-WebDynpro.

System is not appearing in Visual composer!!
Hi all,
i have created a system on my portal to connect the R/3 backend, system is working fine but when i access visual composer by following way :
http://ep62:50100/VC
and clicks on find data, i am unable to find the system created by me, does anyone know why this is happening?? Is anything wrong with my VC settings?HI Ameya
In VC storyboard go to Tools>options>complier>In the Runtime tab
1) Select the Flash option and click the find data and Now check whether your getting the system
2) If you face the problem again check the webdynpro in Runtime tab in tools option
Hope this helps,

How to working with BI in Visual Composer 7.1
Hi.
I want to work with BeX Query using Visual Composer 7.1
I created BI system in EP System configuration.

But I can only see Web service destination and RFC destination. What shall I do to solve it?
And Why /nwa -> destination is only see in VC?
Help me^^Hi Kang Min Shim ,
In order to search for BI destinations in VC you must have the BI Kit for VC installed on your machine.
If you have that BI Kit installed you need to [define a BI destination|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/c21540edc547f5e10000000a114a6b/content.htm].

Visual Composer 7.0 : configuration & technical settings before delivery
Hi gurus,
Environment is NW2004S / EP 7.0 and back-end R/3 system release 4.6C.
I've been requested by developers to setup Visual Composer 7.0 as it is integrated in NW2004s.
As it seems that setup completed succesfully (i accessed to URL "http://<myservername>.<mydomainname>:<portnumber>/VC/default.jsp" and connected to visual composer interface, i 'd like to know if others technical settings are required before providing/delivering this development tool... as developers are currently quiet hard to please
I created a new model and composed succesfully.
However, I need to be sure that technical configration is proper.
Thanks for your experience feedback and help.

How to use Webservice in Visual composer
Hi,
We have developed a RFC in R3 and converted it into Webservice. We want to use this in the Visual composer. Can anyone suggest some steps how to use this RFC in Visual composer?
I tried the option in Tools--> Define webservice System and gave the following parameters:
new system name = WDP (system name which we use)
new system alias = WDP_VC (system alias which we created)
webservice url = URL of the webservice which we have created and got in WSDL
when we create it gives an error the URL is incorrect.
Kindly let me know if these values are correct and suggest the steps to be followed. Also, if there are any prerequiste steps to be done before using this webservice.
Thanks and Kind regards,
Rajbarath.Hi,
The option you described refers to defining a new web service system in the portal system landscape. So if you already have it defined - you don't have to define it again.
As for the actual error you're getting, check that:
1. The url is indeed accessible, and points to a wsdl. You can do this by simply inserting it in the browser's address bar and making sure you get a wsdl file in the response.
2. Make sure that you don't need to authenticate, i.e. provide a user and password. Maybe you just forgot to provide these arguments.
Lastly, keep in mind that this 'Define Web Service System' option is just a shortcut. Generally, you would define a web service system in the portal, like any other system, using the web service connector.
Hope this helps,

From Visual Composer to Developer Studio
Masters I need some help here!
I import into the developer studio a *.par file, made with visual composer, so I can modify it from the developer studio.
The project don't compile because the "GmlDynController" class is missing, so as there's not import sentence in the *.java file, I searched (all over the PC where was install the portal and Visual Composer) for the *.jar or folder containing "GmlDynController" and nothing I found.
I searched all over the sap's sites "GmlDynController" and nothing was display.
I only know that is a class introduce by the visual composer and if it's use must be at somewhere.
¿Does anybody could tell me where is the GmlDynController?
Thanks a lot for your time.Hi,
Finding the classesfor the par files is a time consuming task. here are some means tools which will help you find them.
Jar Class finder is a tool which will help you in this

Veeraraghavan.SHi,
There is loads of stuff out there on visual composer. Have a look at this link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/VisualComposer7.0
VC is supposed to allow employees with limited technical skills created web based applications which can then be used in the portal. You do need some technical knowledge but it is more easier than developing code.
