I need to develope a webpage or something else, where we need to provide a drop down box for a list of WAD reports we have. If the user selects reports, then each report shud be executed in a separate different sessions ! Please guide me on how to start!
I'm trying Erwins solution. Will let you know if it works. Between, can you also post your solution, so that I/we would know different ways of approaching the task.
I started by Creating a blank Template in WAD for 3.5
In the Head section of the Web Template add the following Code as Javascript.
Create a Function in Javascript.
fun dropdown( myval )
start with a curly bracket
var surl, smess
surl = web site string
e.g http://server:port/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=
smess = Please Choose a Report to Run
Check if the value in myVal is X
incase it is X then show an alert message to user and then return false
in case it is not X then you have the template to run
append the value in myval to surl and use a open method of the window to run the url
in a separate window
and return true
end with a curly bracket.
In the Body Section of the Web page please create and HTML Drop down box using the select Tags of HTML.
First Option will be X and text for that will be choose a report
Next Option store the Value as Technical Id of the Template and the Description for Dropdown.
Then create an INPUT Button with and onclick to call the function
onclick will then call the javacript function with gourl.value as a parameter.
Since we cannot post the code please google up the syntax for SELECT and INPUT Button incase you don't know that.
You can pretty up the Page by Adding Heading and Logo and Table Etc.
Try with Couple Templates before you add all the Templates in the Dropdown list.
Save the Template and you should be ready to go.
Hope this helps. Not sure why we can preview code and then it won't post. I think some characters of the code are causing it to fail.
in 7.0 it is much easier, you don't have to use javascript. Here you can use commands:
at first you need to create dropdown_item. By Data Binding (dropdown_item) you should choose Fixed List of Option. Here you can write names of your web applications. After that you can use command wizard and the command: SET_TEMPLATE for each web template.
By SET_TEMPLATE please choose "Open in New Window"
Thanks for your fast reply. The code works for me, but I need to tweak it a bit for a better look. You can see the format of the output I get in the attchment.I need to change the format like:
...
It would be better if you can provide me material on formatting the Script with colors/lines/font.
Please guide.
You should use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Check this link, you can find there a lot of examples:
Please go through the link below, its the Web API Ref for WAD 3.5 and this will surely sort out your problem. You can search for dropdowns or search for commands to open up reports in new window.
Could you please give the code how to do with that..I too have dropdown with different query selections to be brought...by selecting the query from dropdown it should display the Output of that selection...??

By following your steps, I could create a Drop Down web item, but we need to assing some query to this before we change any property right! My requirement is to have a list of WAD reports in 1 page, so that we can select which report we want to run! And I didnt understand your steps:
"By Data Binding (dropdown_item) you should choose Fixed List of Option. Here you can write names of your web applications. After that you can use command wizard and the command: SET_TEMPLATE for each web template. "
By SET_TEMPLATE please choose "Open in New Window"
Is creating a simple HTML Page with Dropdown Box an Option ?
If so then using WAD you can create a Page with Java script Drop down box and use URL to Templates by doing window.location = url you should be able to launch the web report in separate window.
I thought a web page with Drop Down box as 1 option for my task! If you have any other ideas, please let me know. Plz let me know if the web page solution works for you!
