problem with data source after Promotion in BO Prod.

March 17, 2015, 3:19 am

hello Experts,

 

we have promoted,successfully, our application (developed on Design studio dev ) to Production environment .

 

The promotion status shows success and we can see the application on Prod Design studio as well.

 

But the application is not working on Prod , as the data source reallignment did not happen automatically. So the DataSource of the Design Studio Application is still pointing to our SAP BW Dev system instead of our SAP BW Production system.

We already configured the override settings but it didn't help so far.

 

could you please help me to resolve/pin point the issue here.

 

thanks ,

Hello everybody, is it possible to hide a pop-up component automatically after a defined amount of time? (for example 5 seconds?) We offer the enduser the possibility to choose between different keyfigures which will then be shown in a chart. With a mouseclick on an image component a pop-up appears with 10 different keyfigures where each can be selected thru check-boxes. What can I script to hide the pop-up after a few seconds? Any ideas? Best regards, Christine

We like to replace the Web Application Designer templates with the ad-hoc analysis templates of Design studio, but the features are not all ther yet. One of the missing features is the consumption and creation of SAP BW variants ,as we have again in the Analysis for Olap version 4.1.

Is there a roadmap of the Ad Hoc template features avaliable ?  and are there any plans to support the SAP BW variants ?

Design Studio 1.4: apps.state_changed error with 2 BEX datasources

January 14, 2015, 7:33 am

Hi experts,

 

I have developed a simple Dashboard using Design Studio 1.3 SP1 in local mode and everything was working perfectly.

Then I moved the project to the BI Platform and made the required adaptations on the datasources. Running the Dashboard from the Platform was leading to the following error :

Error in triggering the event "apps.state_changed"

While processing the current request, an exception occurred which could not be handled by the application or the framework.

 

I found some post about the fact that a similar error is solved in DS 1.3 SP2, then I moved directly to DS 1.4 Patch1 (both client and server).

 

After the upgrade, the project still runs perfectly in local mode and the same error exists as soon as I move the project to the Platform (SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 3 Patch 3) .

I have put all the datasources to load in a script and I put a button to load each datasource.

I can load each datasource independently and get the data displayed but as soon as I try to load DS_2 after DS_1 or DS_1 after DS_2 the application hangs with:

Error in triggering the event "apps.state_changed"

While processing the current request, an exception occurred which could not be handled by the application or the framework.

 

Additionally, the detail frame provides the following information:

 

The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:

The status of "QUERY_DATA_SOURCE" "DS_2" may only change during command processing

 

com.sap.ip.bi.base.exception.BIBaseRuntimeException: The status of "QUERY_DATA_SOURCE" "DS_2" may only change during command processing at com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.runtime.impl.page.processor.PageEventProcessor.onEvent(PageEventProcessor.java:242) at com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.runtime.impl.page.Page.onEvent(Page.java:4227) at com.sap.ip.bi.base.event.impl.EventSourceHelperStandalone.raiseEvent(EventSourceHelperStandalone.java:333) at com.sap.ip.bi.base.event.impl.EventSourceHelperStandalone.raiseEvent(EventSourceHelperStandalone.java:248) at com.sap.ip.bi.base.event.EventSource.raiseEvent(EventSource.java:45)

 

The error message is displayed after several seconds. Using RSTT transaction, it seems that the queries always reach the BW backend.

 

Thanks for your help,

 

regards,

DS 1.4 : global string + "\n" issue

February 27, 2015, 6:13 am

Hi experts,

 

I wonder if I have an issue with my installation or if it is a DS bug.

I'm still using DS1.4 patch1 on BI Platform (waiting for 1.4 SP1 deployment probably next week).

 

If I create a global script variable of type string (let's name it myString), then I encounter script errors (without any precise description) when running my application on the Platform almost every time I append "\n" to my variable ( myString = someString + "\n" ).

The same works without any problem when I use a local variable instead of a global one!

After several try and reboot, the issue is systematic if the code is located in the application "On Startup" event, it seems the first assignment works if my script is located in a component's "on click" event.

 

Could someone confirm me the successful usage of "\n" and global variables on BI Platform?

I will investigate a little bit more on my side this week end.

 

Thank you,

 

Christian

Design Studio - hide in filter panel rows or columns buttons

Hello all,

 

In my dashboard made with DS1.3 SP01, I use filter panel in mode navigation.

I would like to exclude the possibility to use dimensions as rows, and leave user adding only new dimensions as columns to existing cross tab.

 

Would be possible to achieve this with CSS, by hiding rows buttons in filter panel ? (I could not find a proper class concerning this element of filter panel). I suppose also, that there would be some images to hide...

 

 

Kind regards,

Refreshing BEX query DataSource with Variables in the script

All, We are on SAP Business Objects Design Studio 1.3 SP1. I am using BEX queries in my SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio application. I would like to refresh DataSource with setting the Variable values through the script.

 

I am using APPLICATION.setVariableValueExt property to set the values

I am using DS_NS_SUMMARY.reloadData() method to reload data.

 

Very first time when I refresh it will work fine. when I change prompt values and refresh it's taking same old prompt values not new values.

 

Please anyone have any work around please share.

 

Thanks,

GetData on hierarchy dimension

Hi experts,

 

I'm using a datasource that retrieves data from a simple Bex query with one key figure and two dimensions: month in columns, orgunit (hierarchy) in rows.

The data are correctly displayed in a cross tab.

crosstab.PNG

I need to parse the content of the datasource, for this I retrieve the members of orgunit dimension:

var orgunitsTmp = DS_WLTIAWF.getMembers("0ORGUNIT", 200);

 

The getMembers method returns me the leaves of my hierarchy and I can then retrieve the data using getData:

 

orgunitsTmp.forEach(function(orgunit, index) {

var KF = DS_WLTIAWF.getData("007VOY9I8G6DGIPSM1HKB13IF", {

"0ORGUNIT":orgunit.internalKey,

"0CALMONTH":monthInternalKey

});

 

But this way I retrieve the figures on the leaves, how can I retrieve the agregates (here mean value) on the nodes?

 

Thanks for any idea,

SAP Design Studio SDK - Choropleth Maps Refined, Part 3

March 19, 2015, 9:18 pm

Since I last talked about Maps, in my free time I've taken some effort to refine the component.  You can read about the basics in Part 2 here:


Part 2:

Design Studio SDK (1.3/1.4) - Open Source Maps (Part 2) Choropleth Maps

 

What's New?

The focus I placed was on stability, usability, quality, and ease of use for the designer.  Still much room for improvement so I'm not done making it better yet!

 

  • Additional Property Sheet has new streamlined look and About section.  This property sheet is shared between many of my new visual components for a consistent look & feel.
  • Map Drag and Zoom
  • Better Legend and Tooltip formatting options
  • Better Tooltips
  • More Map Projection options
  • Many UX/UI/Stability Fixes
  • Map Labels dynamically hide when region is too cramped.  Configurable via a threshold parameter.
  • Corrected a few canned maps that had non-Latin characters encoded.  Will spend more time cleaning up any I missed and adding more maps.  Maybe someone would like to help add some more?  Design Studio SDK: How to create home-made map files for Choropleth Maps

 

What's New for SDK Developers?

 

  • Additional Property Sheet overhauled to be self-rendering based on component config.
  • Choropleth Map Component (among other visualization components) now built on same base component class which cuts down on code time and maintenance.  Supports self-rendering Additional Property Sheet.

 

Screenshots of Choropleth Maps and Additional Property Sheet at Design Time.

 

New 'About' section that will show up in most future SDK components in the SCN Community Pack:

Example of Cosmetics Category showing navigation and sub-category organization, with overflow menu showing on the right.

This is available NOW from the SCN Design Studio SDK Development Community link.

 

Questions/Comments/Feedback always welcome.

 

Enjoy!

Hi all,

 

i’m using two crosstabs one above the other like this:

If I expand the upper crosstab, I want to slide the position from lower crosstab down automatically.In WAD it is a standard funcionality. I don’t want to overlap the crosstabs like this:

Also I don’t want to get a scrollbar in the upper crosstab like this:

It would be really great if someone has a solution for this!

Using percentages in crosstabs with hierarchies

Hi,

 

My requirement is to show margin percentages in a crosstab using hierarchies. In my HANA (Analytic) view I have created a simple formula that calculates the margin percentage. In Design studio however, the percentage values are simply being summarized into a number that does not represent the margin percentages at all..

 

I know it's not possible to use calculated key figures in Design Studio, so how can I use percentages at all in Design Studio in crosstabs?

Hello,

 

    we have developed a Planning Template in sandbox which worked well without any issues. It has value assignment for Variables i.e. Query Variables and Planning function variables. I started developing similar solution in Development, i'm getting invalid variable error. I couldn't figure out the reason for syntax error. I'm struck now, Can someone through me some light on this?

 

Little More details on Variables ( tried with Autoload of Datasource and Script Load Datasource):

1. Query Variable, Optional, input enabled. On variable initialization event... APPLICATION.setVariableValue is giving error message.

2. Planning Function Variable: Same error message.

 

Content assistant doesn't show any variables... but, i can see variable under promt settings.

 

Thanks alot for all your help!

Ben.

Labels on chart vertical axis - decimals

March 20, 2015, 3:59 am
$

Hello experts,

 

a topic that has been started several times and never closed is the question of decimal display of charts vertical axis labels.

I have searched and tried several workarounds but couldn't find any solution.

The selection of decimal places in the datasource initial view modifies correctly the display in the chart tooltips but has no effect on vertical axis labels.

 

For information, I'm testing using DS 1.4 SP1.

 

Sometimes presented as a missing feature, my opinion is that it is also a bug which should be easy to correct. It would at least become a missing feature if the displayed labels are not wrong.

 

This is an example of the chart I obtain:

chartlabels.PNG

I can definitely not show this chart to the final user. 0 is correct, the first 1 is 0.5, then 1 and 2 is 1.5. That's why I say it is a bug and not a missing feature.

 

The easy way to correct it, and the way I manage it sometimes when developing charting applications using C++ or C#, is that I do not draw the axis labels (and ticked lines) at the theoretical labels position, but I performe a double conversition (from float to text and then from text to float) of the label value before drawing, using the function already developed for label text handling.

 

In this case, 0.5 label is first converted to text "1", then back to float 1.0 and the 1 label is displayed twice at the same position, still without any decimal, but at the right position! In my sample, the "2" label would not appear as out of chart clipping area.  Usually this change can be done modifying only one single line of code and has no side effects.

 

In any case, I'm very interested in any solution or workaround that could allow me to display a correct vertical axis.

Is it possible to include d3 v3 into Design Studio SDK Component?

It looks like Design Studio 1.3 uses D3 v2.10.  I'd like to leverage D3 v3 for a component.  Has anyone successfully managed to include d3 v3 into Design Studio?  If so, do we know if this is a valid use of the SDK or does it violate any principle since CVOM charts rely on a certain version of d3?

 

I see where Manfred Schwarz did it for Lumira here (Lumira Geoextension with datamaps.js and topojson.js) however I don't think Design Studio uses require.js nor am I sure if his inclusion of d3 v3 is also technically a bad idea for Lumira since it also uses CVOM charts?

 

Just wondering if there's any answers before I go trying to use d3 v3!

 

Thanks!

A Quick Look at SAP Design Studio Extensions - no coding required

After looking at http://visualbi.com/sap-design-studio/dsx-extensions/utilities/ I took a look at the Visual BI Chart extensions.  As a user who is not normally a developer, it is nice to note that no coding is required for these charts.

 

I used a BEx query as a data source.

 

2solidgaugedesigntime.png

 

Above is a solid gauge Visual BI component, with a BEx query attached (from SAP Solution Manager ) showing the number of tickets.  I dragged over the component, assigned the # of tickets as the binding as shown above.

 

3semicircdesigntime.png

 

Above is the semicircle donut chart.  Tool tips are automatically enabled but you can see at a glance where the high number of tickets are.

5circularcounterdesigntime.png

 

The circular counter works the same way - drag over the circular counter component, assign the data source and data select, and you are all set.

 

8runtimeangular.png

 

Above is an angular gauge extension.

 

10progbarrun.png

 

The progress bar is shown above.

 

11area.png

 

The area chart is shown above.

 

12stackedcolumn.png

 

Above is one of my favorite charts, the stacked column chart against a BEx query showing budget, actuals and balance.  I think these type of components make it easier for the business-users to create their own dashboard applications, with no coding required.

Hi Guys,

 

DS 1.4 32Bit Java 7 open ok and components can be configured but once I connect to BW  (7.4) and choose "browse" datasources ,

i expect to see a  list of BW Queries  .instead DS Freezes and doesnt respond.

 

The inital connection to BW shows as active prior to the crash.

 

 

Checked on a colleagues DS 1.4 64 Bit Java 6 and it works ok .

 

 

Anyone found a solution for this ?

 

 

Thanks
