Calling up Web Templates 

Use

The URL for calling a Web template is generated by the Web Application Designer. You can extend the URL by various parameters when you call up a Web template. These parameters can:

·        influence the contents or display of the data for the result that is returned (see Calling Up Parameterized Web Templates)

·        activate or deactivate different functions on the server.

Features

Choose from the following options to call up the template:

Standard call up and properties of Web templates

You can find the permitted attributes for Web template properties under Object Tag for Properties of Web Templates.

Calling up the Web template with a different data provider

This call-up replaces all data providers of the type 'query view' with the data provider specified. This makes it possible to make a query or query view available without making any further settings in the Web, and then use predefined Web templates for the page layout.

You can find the description of the necessary parameters under Object Tag for Properties of Web Templates

Displaying a query by using a Web template of your choice

Setting your own Web template objects

As well as being able to define a new initialization for all data providers of a Web template, you can also convert each data provider specifically and each Web item, using parameterization. By doing this, you allow even your more complicated Web templates to be reused. You can find the description of the necessary parameters under Object Tag for Properties of Web Templates

Swapping two data providers and a Web item when calling up a Web template

http://yourAppServer:yourPort/SAP/BW/BEx?CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=yourTemplate&SET_DATA_PROVIDER_1=myDataProvider1&infocube_1=myCube&query_1=myQuery&SET_DATA_PROVIDER_2=myDataProvider2&data_provider_id_2=mySpecialView&SET_ITEM_3=myItem&ITEM_ID_3=myPieChart

Using a standard Web template for a data provider

If you call up the previous variant without specifying a TEMPLATE_ID, a standard Web template is used automatically. To make a Web template the standard Web template, go to BW Customizing Implementation Guide ® Business Information Warehouse ® Settings Relevant for Reporting ® Web-Based Settings ® Determine a Standard Web Template.

If there is no setting made here, the system uses a Web template generated by SAP. You can find more information on the Standard Web Template under Standard Web Template for Ad-hoc Analysis.
