Hi there,

I'm migrating a 7.0 model to VisualComposer 7.3. In some ways it worked fine but now I am at a point where I think I need help!

In the old model there were some views with a complexe structur with roll up and drill down and visibility for different input forms. It shows only the view you need when you have selected a special figure.

In the new model these structures are not working anymore and I can't fix it. In my new model there are shown all views side by side regardless what figures i chose in the selection.

Where can I find a good "how to-guide"? Or other informations that could help me. The Veterans guide and the migration handbook couldnt help me out.

Thanks for any answers and if you need further informations don't hesitate to contact me!

Kind regards

Hi,

I am using Visual Composer for SAP Netweaver 7.4 SPS 05 and I want to create an analytical web report with charts and diagrams. I have established connection to R3 Data Services and can use the supplied BAPI-s like bapi_flight_getlist, bapi_bank_getlist etc.

The problem I am having is the extreme lack of resources or materials on how to create graphical reports from scratch or a step-by-step guide. Yes, there is the Modeler's Guide and the Reference Guide which are super effective for VC 7.0 and is not as easy to follow when you have a different version. Also I don't have a connection to BI Data Sources so I can't use queries and views.

Can you suggest a bapi which I can consume in a chart or a diagram form? like annual income reports or something like that?

Thanks to all helpers in advance!

Hi,

We developed a visual composer application with CE 7.20 SPS 03 and we try to integrate a xcelsius gauge in to VC 7.20. It works fine with passing single or multiple parameters to xcelsius with webdynpro java flash islands, but how do we get the value from xcelsius back to webdynpro java.

How do we have to name the event in webdynpro flash island? Which event is triggered when change a slider or a gauge? Is there any document?

I need your help.

Best regards,

I m using  a query in VC. The query has months in columns. The query shows past 10 months & current month.

We have a Fiscal year variant which atuomatically calculates months. Like current - 1, current - 2 etc.

In VC what happens is whenever the month changes its not updating the column there in Table view.

Eg: If i run it today it shld show April 2010 - Feb2011. But it shows only till Dec 2010 & doesnt show Jan 2011.

If i execute the query from Bex it shows the currect output.

Every month i have to go in and refresh the query & redo the table view in VC.

Hi everybody,

I have a question about Visual Composer (NW7.1).

My goal is it to create a dynamic form within VC iView. As data source I want to use (reads) values from a customizing table and displayed them in a drop down menu. After selecting a drop down value, all its elements shall be presented dynamic in a form. My question is if VC is supporting that technically or not. I have tried different approaches but it is not working.

Does anybody have some suggestions???

For example:

To show all customer data in a form, I set a reference in my customizing table that refers to my KNA1 table. If I want to show all suppliers data, I want to refer to my customizing with a reference to table LFA1. The form should display all the elements of KNA1 or LFA1. Is something like that technically possible?? HELP!

Thank you for your help in advance.

I use Visual Composer for SAP NW 7.2. SPS04. I have the problem by opening my model in VC DC and  would like to delete this and create new model with the same name. The problem is the delete function is not active and cannot be used. Visual component DC was checked also in DTR.  Please help!

Hi,

What is roadmap for Visual Composer?

Is it true that SAP is not planning to provide any new enhancements in Visual Composer and technology will be obsolete in the future same as WD Java which was replaced by WD ABAP?

If this is the case, what would be alternative technology for designing graphs, charts, statistics rapidly?

We need to design simple statistics (graphs, pie charts) based on data in ECC. Would it be advisable to use VC for this purpose?

Dear SAP members,

About two weeks ago we upgraded our version of VC due to a bug in a previous one. We went from 7.3 SPS 4 to SPS 9. I checked the functionality of all the models and everything that is in the picture when using VC.

I had some small difficulties but via some re-modeling I seemed able to overcome the problems. Here we were running on Internet Explorer 8.

Now since Monday, I am also included in the test users for the new version of Internet Explorer, being version 10.

Now I noticed that I am facing some problems with this version and Visual Composer.

1) Sometimes I receive a message that my workspace could not be accessed because the model index is bad or missing. If I press 'Ok' then, no models are present. This error seems to disappear when I delete my cookies + browser history.

I will add a screenshot if the error occurs again.

2) When performing some actions like opening a operators, saving a model, etc.. I continually get messages stating that 'An error has occurred in the script on the page' and if I would like the script to keep on running or not. These can be skipped by pressing yes. Per actions, a variable number of messages are displayed, mostly going from 4-6. An example:

3) Another problem exists with the tables used in the models. Here, issue number 2 does not occur but when I try to open a table to select values/put in some functions or whatever, I cannot. For tables that I previously filled I only see a blank space and I am unable to do anything. For new tables (like in the screenshot) I only see a grayed out field and again, I am unable to perform any action.

Is there any fix for this or not? I am also absolutely sure that this only arises in IE10 as I retested it on another computer with IE8 and there everything worked, no warning messages, etc.

This is important because it will determine the success of IE 10 or keep working with the older version, IE8.

Many many thanks beforehand!

Kind regards,

Jan

Hello All,

I found BPM tutorial, right now I am coping with Visual Composer part as described in this document http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-3070

I created model similar as on page 27 (shown in file Model_BPM_scn.jpg). The difference is I am using CreateBusinessPartner_V1(http://sap.com/xi/FS-BP/Global -> BusinessPartnerDataManagementManageBusinessPartnerIn -> CreateBusinessPartner_V1) operation instead of CreatePurchaseOrder.

The goal of this exercise is to create Web Dynpro form, which calls service in another system. As it is described in tutorial I made proper end point and service registry configuration in soamanager(on both systems). The way to add CreateBusinessPartner_V1 operation to Visual composer is to use service registry. While using wizard for searching service registries in NWDS everything looks fine and the same as in the tutorial (service is found and successfully added to visual composer window). On one window of service registry wizard I get warning that:

"Note: To execute the service at runtime, system{0} must be defined in NetWeaver Administrator" (I attach screen of that in services_registry_wizard_scn.jpg). The system which host CreateBusinessPartner_V1, is of course defined in soamanager.

After adding CreateBusinessPartner_V1 service block to "working area", right clicking on that and selecting  "Test data Service", and running WS Navigator, Business Partner is successfully created on the system.

Till that time everything works fine, however when I create webdynpro window, which should collect information about business partner to create it, I got following errors:

Error while getting the backend function : Could not find operation BusinessPartnerDataManagementManageBusinessPartnerIn.CreateBusinessPartner

Error occurred while executing the service: Error while getting the backend function : Could not find operation BusinessPartnerDataManagementManageBusinessPartnerIn.CreateBusinessPartner

Error occured while executing the service: Error occurred while executing the service: Error while getting the backend function : Could not find operation BusinessPartnerDataManagementManageBusinessPartnerIn.CreateBusinessPartner

as shown on the screen webdynpro_error_scn.jpg

Do anyone have idea what could be wrong, or had similar problem?

I really appreciate your help.

Hi guys, i´m trying to use a number mask because I want to set a mask from a number field, in other way I don´t want to change the type of the field to text because I expect always numbers and in VC I can´t found the way to validate with regex.

So, the problem is when I set the mask in the value field, it´s turn automatically to read-only, so at runtime the user can´t set a value and then makes the system format it.

How the format thing works in VC !?

Is the right place to use the format functions !?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Gurus,

I would like to developed a portal language selector iview using Visual Composer  which would be placed on the main framework of the portal. It would allow the user to change the language of the portal on the fly  - it would change the language of a dashboard created in Visual Composer. There is a question posted by Richard Tucker (/thread/52450 [original link is broken]) where he talked about this functionality but without Visual Composer or more detail on his solution.

Any thoughts?

Hi Gurus,

I have installed the NetWeaver CE 7.1 SP5 version on my system and trying to configure the Voice for VC.

Hi,

We created a Visual Composer application which we would like to call from a workflow.

Our Visual Composer application expects an input value called WI_ID.

Our task is TS99700043 and its visualization contains DYNPARAM: wi_id=${item.externalId}.

But the value is not passed on to the VC application

Do you know how to fix this issue?

Thanks,

Eva

Hi Gurus.

In   past weekend,  in my work install the  Enhancement Package 1, Support Package Stack 05  in the NetWeaver Server 7.3, when it was finish, i went to Sap Portal  and  seen visual changes on my Visual Composer Application, and some function and validation do not works same.

Do you know if exist some Documentation about changes in visual composer from EHP1 SP01 to EHP1 SP05.

i mean, exist some chage on VC runtime system?

Best Regards.

Hi all,

I use Visual Composer In NWDS 7.3.

I created a model with an external composite view as model and various tables to create a report.

I used many VC functionality. One of this is the export functionality.

This functionality add an Export button on my tables for export data in Excel format. For some tables this functionality works right. In other cases I obtain an "index out of bounds" error, also if the table is not empty.

The detailed error is this:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Node(Launcher.0DAF04CDD6.G_UI/VCSearchUserComp.Users.0.Accounts, class=com.fiat.sc.vc.wd_serch_user.wd.comp.vcsearchusercomp.wdp.IPublicVCSearchUserComp$IAccountsNode): index out of bounds: index=0, size=0

Any suggestions? All the scn question I've found are referring to NWDS 7.0 and to this document

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123?QuickLink=index&…

But this is not my case...

Thank you all for your help.

Hi to all,

our application, built in UI5 is quite complex. As there still is no support for a standard search-help-like solution for web applications (in UI5), we would like to see the possibilities with the VC.

Now we are able to use some function modules here to provide the view generation, which is straight-forward and easy. But at the end of the day, we have only a link to the VC application which can be run standalone.

What are the options (if any) to have an application, built in VC and using it as a popup window in a different environment (UI5)? For now, we do not need to pass any importing parameters (even it would be nice), just need to pass selected entry(ies) from e.g. a table to some consuming application.

Can anybody help - whether this is advisable?

Hi Expert,

Hi All,

        We have created some VC applications using Visual Composer 7.0 (SP12) and SAP NW BI 7.0 (SP12). The applications access BI queries to show some data based on Input taken from users.

        After doing transport of all iViews created with Visual Composer to Quality Server we are getting following error when we submit the input data:

<b>Nested Exception. Failure to execute native function. Connection Failed: Nested Exception. Native connection to the back end system is broken.</b>

The strange thing is - we get the drop-down data in the input form (which we are fetching from Characteristics of BI Queries) which comes from back-end but after we submit the same all the queries throw same error as stated above.

Has anyone faced such kind of trouble?

Please help.... As its on QA its a bit Urgent....

Thanking in anticipation....
