Design Studio report that contains custom components

0 Kudos

I have Design Studio 1.4, utility pack, and a few other custom components. I am able to create and open simple report on BI platform.

However, if my report contains any of the custom components, I can only run the report locally. Trying to run it on BI platform or by clicking at the report's URL will give me "unable to process request" error. Below is the comment I received from SAP service:

Hi Leo,

Yes. Once you install the local customized components to the platform
you would, in theory, be able to run your reports there using your
customized items.
However, your colleagues need to install locally those customized
components as well to be able to work with them and even to run the
reports which use those SDK items.

So, firstly please make sure the components are available on the
platform and on all the necessary PCs. In case you still have issues,
let me know.

Thank you,

I have 2 questions for the comments above:

1. is it true that all PCs have to have the custom components locally to see my report? if that is the case, then the custom components' usefulness are very limited because I don't have right to make changes to other peoples' computer.

2. I selected all my local custom components and install them on platform using the menu Tools -> Platform Extensions. However, I still can't run the report on BI platform.

Please share your experience with you if you use the Design Studio SDK.

Thanks,

Hi,

for q1 - yes, all need to install the SDK components to run the content locally - but you can provide the ZIP or online repository link to everyone and then everyone can make it on his own.

but local installation is required ONLY by those who are using Design Studio also locally, those who just want to execute the report on BIP do not need to install anything locally.

for q2 - you are on the right way, but after the installation on BIP, you have to restart the APS server, please double check the BIP administration help under SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio 1.4 – SAP Help Portal Page.

Thank you Karol. Actually the custom component I am using is your KPI tile.:)

Great news for the #1. I have restated the APS server for #2, but still getting the same error. I am working with SAP support for that and will update after it is fixed.

Thanks,

Hi, have you installed all packages? There are dependencies between them, shared and basics must be installed as well to get it run. This issue seems to miss a method which is in the basics package

Hi Karol

You mean i have to install all Modul on the left site?

Best Regards

oh, yes. you need

* always the "shared" module and "base" module

* then you can take the others (eg. databound) on top

if you just deploy one, many functions (basics) are not deployed.

we have reuse between the modules.
