Integrate more than one backend system with Visual Composer

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

can I integrate more than one backend systems with Visual Composer?

Thanks, Rebecca

Hi,

Yes you can. You can use functions coming from different systems defined in the Portal to create one iView. This means that you can have data coming from multiple R3 systems and even combine some JDBC stuff.

Hi,

just to make sure I got it right:

I connect to a system defined in the Portal (e.g. s01),

use a BAPI, arrange the components and fields as I want, connect to another system (e.g. s02), use a BAPI there, arrange everything and so on?

Hi,

Yes. You can search for BAPIs on one system to be used in your diagram, then search for others on a different system and use them in the same iView.

Hi Yaniv,

I've tried to do it and it worked fine as long as I took different input forms for the BAPIs.

But actually I want to use only one input form for several BAPIs one several systems. So I connected one input form with two BAPIs located on two different systems and connected each output with a different table view, tested the functions for each system, did not get an error in the preview but one table receives data and one does not.

Have you ever tried that, too? Did it work?

Thanks a lot, Rebecca

Hi,

ok, found it out myself. VC usually maps the output of an input form to the corresponding input of a BAPI automatically.

If another submit arrow is drawn from the same input form to the same BAPI on another system, VC doesn't do this mapping automatically.

Assigning the input to the output resulted into

@CUST_NO @CUST_NO

@SALES_ORG @CUST_NO

instead of

@CUST_NO @CUST_NO

@SALES_ORG @SALES_ORG

If the right values are assigned manually it works (of course :-). Just in case anybody else has the same problems...

Hi,

there is still a problem:

In the current release of visual composer, a table view can not have more than one input and so does a HTML view.

For my case, there is additional programming necessary

I'm looking forward to the next release of Visual Composer!!!!
