Hi,

We have installed Visual Composer and its latest Patch ie Patch 5. I have also installed the Add-Ons on our portal server whick is on SP12.

In our landscape we have a BIW server. when we are trying to access this server through the menu options BI --> BI Query Wizard --> BW Web API Connection -- <My BW Server> chose this and click on next .. i get the following error.

"error -32003 cannot retrive history

service not found

com.sap.portal.guimachine.commandhan"

Not sure how to proceed.

Pls help.

Thanks in advance

Naresh

Hi Scott,

Bout if we are on bw3.0 sp25 what would be an other way of using vc??

From page 8 if the vc installation guide

which portal component should I use to connect to bw system and what setting should be done for the bw 3.0sp25 to use the portal component.

I also need advice on how to connect r/3 46c to the vc?

thank you for the reply,

Hi, if you want to use the BW Wizard, you need BW3.5 but you can use the XMLA to connect direcly to your cubes and make querys.

You 'll need to read the BW installation guide to obtain information about how to configure the BI JAVA connectors.

about R/3, you'll be able to connect to 4.6c and work with BAPIs

Hi Venkat,

Please take a look at the most recent installation guide on the Service Market place for the Visual composer. You will see there that the minimum requirements to connect via the BW Web API are:

https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/instguidesnw04

Installation->SAP VC->Installation Guide - SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer 6.0

(Page 8 of the Install Guide)

BW 3.5 SP3 or higher...
