Description

Under Description, you can give the Web template a description of your choice.

Stylesheet

The stylesheet shows that the Web application should be the basis. If your Web application should be displayed with another stylesheet, choose Select Stylesheet: select a stylesheet to see it in the preview on the right side. Once you have decided on a stylesheet, select and choose OK.

Only those stylesheets stored on the BW server are displayed in the selection list. If you want to use a stylesheet that is not in the list, for example one that is stored on your Web server, select the checkbox beneath the selection list and enter the URL. Choose OK.

You are able to specify the style sheet that is the basis for all Web templates in the Customizing Implementation Guide for the Business Information Warehouse under SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ®Reporting-relevant Settings ®BEx Web ® Determine Settings for Web Templates.

Description

Status-free navigation

By selecting Status-Free Navigation, the status on the server is reset after each navigation step in the Web application. This is only recommended for Web applications in which you rarely navigate.

Use personalized Web template, if available

You can set whether an existing personalized Web template should be used for a user.

Do not display system messages

You can set whether system messages should be displayed. Also see Object Tag for Properties of Web Templates.

Do not display warnings

You can set whether warnings should be displayed.

Force variable screen display

If Force Variable Screen Display is not selected, the variable screen is only displayed when the mandatory variables are not filled. By selecting the Force Variable Screen Display, the variable screen is displayed at all times.

Reset Variables to Default Values

See Object Tag for Properties of Web Templates.

Display same variables only once

This ensures that the same variables for different queries are displayed only once.

Open dialogs in new windows

You can set whether a new browser window should be opened for dialogs.

Read mode for data

See Object Tag for Properties of Web Templates.

Output Optimization (Device-Dependent)

By selecting Output Optimization (Device-Dependent), you bring about an automatic, device-specific optimization of Web item settings at runtime (for example, chart size for PDAs).

Session Encoding in the URL

A cookie is used by default to manage the session for a stateful BEx Web Application. This can lead to possible problems, however, you can eliminate these with the help of this attribute. For more information on these Web template properties see Object Tag for the Properties of Web Templates.

Automatic session management

You can use Automatic Session Management to optimize the management of system resources on the application server. When the Web template  property Automatic Session Management is activated, the server resources are automatically released after leaving the page.

Automatic Sesssion Management  is useful when the execution of a Web application takes up a great deal of working memory, or where a large number of users working in parallel are involved. Memory space is provided on the application server as long as a session is valid for a particular user.

In addition, you can also set the Automatic Session Management using the value selection ‘PING’ so that automatic closing of the session at the back end (timeout) is prevented. This is useful in scenarios in which the end user logs on to a Web application and does not carry out any navigation over a long period of time.

Do not use the Automatic Session Management property when using the Web application in the SAP Enterprise Portal because the portal closes the Web application correctly by itself.

More information on Automatic Session Management can be found in SAP Note 589272 on the SAP Service Market Place under the Internet address service.sap.com/notes.

Show jump target in

You can use the Web template property Show Jump Target In to control the jump from the context menu to the RRI:

·        When the standard setting is selected (menubarRRI), the RRI jump takes place in a window with a menu bar.

·        If you do not make an entry, the RRI jump always takes place using a new window.

·        If you enter a frame name, the RRI jump takes place in this frame.

·        If you enter the name of an existing window, the RRI jump takes place in the window with the specified name.
