BW Stylesheets 
Definition
Cascading stylesheet that contains the necessary classes for the Business Information Warehouse and that is stored in the MIME Repository. The standard stylesheet has the name BWReports.css.
Use
Cascading stylesheets are used to define formats and are an enhancement to HTML: You use CSS classes in HTML (which is created by the BEx Web items). The styles are identified in the generated HTML using class attributes according to the HTML standard.
A stylesheet should always be included in a Web template. By default, the stylesheet BWReports.css is assigned to all Web templates. If you want to exchange this stylesheet, you have the following options:
· In order to specify the stylesheet globally, meaning to exchange it for all Web templates, in the Customizing Implementation Guide for the Business Information Warehouse, choose SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ®Reporting-relevant Settings ®BEx Web ® Determine Settings for Web Templates.
· To exchange the stylesheet locally, which means for individual Web templates, in the BEx Web Application Designer, choose a suitable stylesheet using the die Web Template-Property Stylesheet. The input help provides apreview during selection.
· To overwrite a stylesheet that is already assigned in a Web application, you can use the URL parameter STYLE_SHEET. For more information, see Object Tag for the Properties of Web Templatesapurl_link_0001_0002_0005.
In addition to the stylesheets delivered by SAP you can also create your own specific stylesheets. You should use the delivered stylesheets as the basis here. For more information on storing your own stylesheets, see Storing Stylesheets and Symbols.
As of Release SAP BW 3.5, five new stylesheets will be made available in four browser versions (for Internet Explorer 5 and 6, as well as Netscape Navigation 6.x and 7.x). The associated right-to-left variants (RTL variants) exist for these stylesheets. The variants, like the respective Web browser, are recognized and addressed by the system automatically.
Stylesheets form Release SAP BW 3.0 will continue to be available to you. However, they have not been adapted for use in Release SAP BW 3.5.
Structure
The definitions of CSS classes include settings on background, font color, font, font size, borders, spacing, text alignment, extensive information on cascading stylesheets and their definitions can be found in the internet at www.w3.org.
Note that the cache of the SAP Web Application Server has to be deleted when you change a stylesheet. To do this, in your BW system, start the transaction ICM monitor (transaction code SMICM) and delete the cache using the menu command Goto ®HTTP Server Cache ®Invalidate ®Globally in the System
A stylesheet can be enhanced with your own CSS classes. However, you can only use your own CSS classes in your own HTML (see The Window Template) or in the Web Design API for Tables. A general CSS class can be defined for each HTML tag. This general CSS class, however, can be overwritten with the attribute class.
The following CSS classes are standard classes and are use din HTML generation of individual Web items. You can use the standard classes in your own HTML or in Web Design APIs for Tables.
