Webtemplate saving problem!

[Former Member]

Hello,

After i modify the webtemplate, when i try to save it..

Status bar: Saving Template 'zmytmplate'.....

WAD Title: BEx Web Application Designer (Not responding)

This situation remain for the long time. I had to close the application using taskmanager, and end the process. I am able to save this, opening the same once again.

why it is happening...any ideas?

thanks

Ravi,

I've had this problem before too. When you save a modified template, SAP wants to put this on a transport. I would be working with a lot of apps open or maybe just a few, but it should be a transport window that pops up that will be hiding behind your app and even the Web Application Designer. It will never show up in your task bar or on top of the Web Application Designer. When you click around before the transport request comes up, the transport window will be hidden, so you think it just sits there and thinks and it works on saving your template. It is actually waiting for you to save it on a transport.

Just do an ALT+TAB until you see the transport request window, then you'll be fine.

Hope this will help.

Hi Paul,

I waited more than 30 minutes, after i press the SAVE button(after validation), but i could not find any transport request(used ALT+TAB)... now i had to terminate this WAD, and opend again...this time if i save it is saving perectly and not getting the Transport request popup. this is ok, but i have to do all the modifications in the template again..

Any other ideas??

Have you checked in transactions like SM50 what's going on in the backend?

Hi Klaus,

I checked in SM50, SM51. There is no background process is running during template is being saved(continuously)...Any other ideas?

Two issues I've experienced. One is you have numerous web-items that certainly increases the validation check time and produces a false time-out. Be Patient. This can be anywhere from several minutes to 30+ minutes. WAD consumes a lot of memory. On the other hand when you click save for a template with 2-5 web-items wait a several seconds and then click the minimize buttom in the WAD to see if a transport request is needed.

Hi Ravi,

I am not sure whether it would help you.

Pls check whether you have installed all the latest BW front end patches on your machine.

I hope your machine has a gud RAM- 250 Mb or above..

Let us know it that helped.

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for your response. I checked BW front end installation using Bex>Business Explorer>Installation Check.

<b>3.0B Patch 12</b>

I found

Microsoft core components...like mfc42.dll, oleaut32.dll, loepro32.dll versions are marked in blue colour. And some SAP GUI core components like chart.ocx, librfc32.dll, sapfdraw.dll etc..are markd in yellow

colour..

Yellow-->Version is higher than required (might be a problem)

Blue-->Version of non-BW file is higher than required (this might be a problem)

remaining all are in the Green colur, indicates correct installation.

Do you think, yellow and blue marked information making problems, in saving the template and some other GUI errors? then how can i resolve this problem...pls let me inform...

Thanks

Hi Ravi,

it is difficult to say why it is happening in your case.

Maybe the a popup screen is hidden in the background (e.g. transport request, validation check, ...), network problems, using not valid coding, ...
