Description

Data Provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item gets the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: The name should be a maximum of 30 characters long and consist of characters “A-Z”, “0-9” and “_” but cannot start or end with “_”. Adhering to these conventions facilitates the upgrade to future SAP releases.

·        Meta (BW_OBJECT)

·        Reference (CHARACTERISTIC)

·        InfoProvider (MULTI)

For master data you must also enter the characteristic whose documents are to be displayed. For metadata you must also enter the meta-object whose documents are to be displayed. In these instances, corresponding input helps are available in the BEx Web Application Designer.

Document type (WWW_DOC_TYPE)

You use this parameter to classify documents by assigning a freely selectable document type to them. If you set the parameter to Web item, only the corresponding document types are displayed.

In the cost center example, you can assign documents to every possible combination of cost center and calendar month. Documents relate to either the revenue or expense of the cost center. You can classify the documents as “EXPENSE” or “REVENUE” by assigning the value “EXPENSE” or “REVENUE” to the Document Type property of the document. Set this Web item property accordingly in the Web application. For example, you can include two Web items in the Web application, one of which displays the documents for expenses and the other the documents for revenue.
