BICS environment with live Office or QAWS connection
we have a scenario where Hierarchy's needs to be incorporated in the xcelsius dashboards, currently we have dashboards using live office and using webi query we are building hiearchey (L00, L01, L02, ..., L09) and we developed a custom xcelsius component to display as Hiearchey dropdown.
Now we are moving to use BICS environment, how can we leverage the Hierarchy like senario (Hier is auth relevant) ??
is there any way we can leverage live office or some other form of connections when publishing to Net weaver Portal ??
Hi Stratos,
it already takes about 15 minutes to display the option window.
When the option window appears and I enter my credentials for the login, that login requires another 10 minutes but finally succeeds.
After that the import of BO content works quite well. The delay only occurs during the starting phase of Live Office.
It seems that the whole application is not working properly.
The thing is, I already tried to reinstall Live Office once and the delay times are still there.
Another idea?
Sebastian

Generating a report in dashboard with live office connection(3.0 version) ?
Hi,
iam generating a report in dashboard with live office connection(3.0 version) but when iam trying to set parameters the refersh button & modify button are disable. how to overcome from this issue?

MahendraHi Mahendra,
Confirm if you are getting the same issue outside Xcelsius i.e in the Microsoft Excel.
Try refreshing the Live office objects in MS excel using the option "Refresh all objects "and then import .xls it in Xcelsius.

Pivot tables in excel with Live Office
Once I save a business objects XI R2 web intelligence report to excel format and schedule to users the excel which the users receive should have pivot tables and users should be able to add any fields of their choice in the report and view it similar to the excel pivot tables.As far as I know I will be able to achive this functionality using Live Office.Is there any other way how I can achieve this and also has anyone worked on this kind of requirement and can confirm this will work without any issues with live office?
It is not possible to schedule the WebI reports in Excel format and use a predefined excel template for this.
What your users CAN do is to add their own pivot tables from the scratch in the excel file that was generated and delivered to them according to the schedule.
What you can do is use LiveOffice (have to install the plug-in on all user workstations though), bind the instances and deliver your users an excel file, which uses liveoffice to bind the scheduled webI report instances (eg. the latest instance). Your users can add the desired pivot table functionality on their own or you can predefine this in the excel file yourself.
Which version of BO do you use?

Automatic Refresh of Xcelsius dashboard with Live Office connection
Hi,
I have an Xcelsius dashbaord which has Live Office connectivity to universe query. Universe is build on a Bex query. Now, I need to auto refresh my dashboard say every 15 seconds.
Under 'Data > Connection' menu, I could find 'Refresh every' option for refreshing the dashboard at specified interval. However, it doesn't seem to work. Also, the user guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 indicates that this auto refresh is only for QaaWS, Web Services, and XML Data connections only.
Can someone let me know if this is still the case? Is it possible to have auto refresh for LO connection ? If not, what is the best alternative? I believe QaaWS would work.
Thanks,
BhargavWell its still possible to refresh LO connection every 15second. You can use play selector which counts 0-15. Then bind your LO connection refresh option to Play Selector's destination, make it When value becomes 15.

Live Office Error when connecting to SAP BW data (Offline dashboard)
Hi experts,
we have built up an Live Office connection to SAP BW query data to create a dashboards, which can show the data also in offlne mode. We are using exactly the same procedure as recommanded by Ingo Hilgofort in [End-to-End Scenarios With Xcelsius 2008|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/90ad73b1-506c-2b10-9e9b-9fde523f010a].
When trying to refresh the Live Office connection using the "Refresh" button in the dashboard we receive the error LO 26301: The current refresh option requires a report instance that does not exist.
The recommended action is: Change the refresh option of the object or use the CMC to schedule a new instance.
But creating an instance of the dashboard is not possible. What is meant by that? Is it necessary that we embed the Xcelsius flash into a PDF or a Crystal Report? What are our alternatives?
Best regards,

Problem with Live Office Web Services
Hi@all,
we have a problem with the Live Office connection options.
The Webservice URL entry has an error: "Verion conflict: Your Live office client needs a newer version of Business Objects Web Services".
I have installed the newest SP (SP3) for XI 3.1 for my Live Office Client and for the BO client tools but it do not work. Has anybody an idea?
Thanks.
ThomasAny solution for this? We have the same issue.
Got resolved by recreating the webi document from scratch and the live connections.
But this issue really scares me as I have did not see any reason for this to happen and it is very inconsistant.

Live Office or Qaas Connection perfomance
Hi All,
Actually we are just going to start to create dashboard.
So my question is whether we should use Live office connection or QAAS connection.
Perfomance wise which one is better.
Regards
GauravIf you want to combine advantages of easy connection design from QaaWS, with complex blocks & scheduling from LO, oyu may want to try BI Services (Web Intelligence report parts published as web services from WebI Rich Client since XI 3.1 SP2).
This also provides access to report filters and drills.
Benches have shown BI Services to be more efficient as compared with QaaWS, since they provide several setting parameters to tune consumption, leverage scheduling and avoid as much as possible DB round-trips (ie document refreshes) which you cannot really avoid with QaaWS.
Hope that helps,

How to preset the BusinessObjects Enterprise logon with Live Office
Is there a way to define the enterprise logon information including password within an Xcelsius Dashboard that is using a Live Office Connector?
My scneario is that I have a spread sheet that is using Live Office to connect to a WebI report. I need the dashboard to go out and grab the lastest instance of the scheduled WebI report on load.
I can do this but only with a logon prompt. My clients are upper level management and they will not be interested in this dashboard if they have to enter a password just to view the information.
It appears that solutions using Flash Vars with .NET or child SWF are available, but I would really like something simpler.
For Example, if I use a Web Service Connector I can preset user id and password information right in the properties of the object. Can this be accomplished in a Live Office Connector object?
Thanks,
TyAs far as I know, there is no way to hard code the username and password for LiveOffice.
One thing you can do is use the BOBJ SDK to get the CELogonToken and pass that set that as a FlashVar on the SWF (in the OBJECT or EMBED tag).
The other solution would be to use QaaWS instead as the data source then you can hard code the user name and password. -
Live Office Failing to Connect
Hi, we have just upgraded Business Objects XI to R3 (Product: 12.1.0) version and all our reports were moved over. We are using Excel version 2007 and Live office version 12.3.0.601 Build 601.
We cannot get the Enterprise (authenticication) logon to work. all the details (UN, password, server) are all correct, but we either get logon issues or access issues.
LO 02040 - logon error even though the details are correct
LO 02010 - insufficient rights to open the report (this happens regardless of the report and they are the user's reports)
We use BO/Live office 90% of the day and cannot have it not working, are there any suggestions?
We cannot create new objects or update existing ones as the operation times out. We cannot update the properties of existing reports either.
This all worked perfectly before upgrading BO and Live Office.
Any help would be appreciated.
Emma
BO/LO User (not admin)Hi Professor,
1) If you just plug your switched on phone into usb on PC does it say "mass storage device" connected and can you then explore content?
No it does not say that. It does seem that the necessary drivers are installed, because the PC indicates "ready for use". However I cannot find the phone in Windows Explorer.
2) Nokia 6680 is a Symbian 60 there must be a way of selecting either PC Suite, Mass storage or Transfer on phone menu!
Maybe you're right, but I cannot find these options in the phone menu.
So far, still no solution. Thanks for your input.

Error #1009 Live Office Connections
Hi,
I created a dashboard in Xcelsius 2008, with live office connections. When I'm testing (select an options with combo box, and show me tool bars, datasheets....) it on Infoview, the following message appears by surprise on a grey background:
"An error has ocurred.
For more information, contact the file creator or your system administrator.
Error: Error #1009
Connection type: Live Office Connection"
When I try again (the same combination) , the results appears correctly.
Apparently, the live office connection doesn't return all query results at the first time.
Any idea what's the problem? and how can I solved it?
ThanksHi,
You Didn't mentioned the Xcelsius version you are using.
I presume that you need to install the latest fix pack. This fix pack 3.1 addressed this problem. I would suggest you to install all in a row (Hot Fix 3.4 is the latest one).
Refer below document.

Dashboards with Webi Live office Objects issues
Hi All,
I have created a dashboard (Dashboards 4.1 SP4) connecting to webi crosstab tables which in turn sources data from Bex queries (version of SAP BW 7.1 SP5) . Initially I published the crosstab data as BI web Services and consumed these as query as web service within the Dashboards. But datasets have variable columns and changes on data refresh everyday. Therefore, I decided to use Live office connections to automate the dashboard.
As number of posts suggested, firstly, I created Live office connections for the webi queries to pull the data into excel model spreadsheet. I have created 26 live office connections in total and everything works fine until this step. Re-opening the excel document refreshes the live office connections. When I import the same excel spreadsheet into the dashboard, the import operation is running forever and then Dashboards stops responding. I would have to close the Dashboard using task manager.
To test, I tried creating the live office objects within the dashboard spreadsheet and it creates the connections fine. I do not create the live office connections through Data -->Connections--> Live office connections. I go ahead and publish the dashboard onto the portal and it gets published successfully. If I re-open the dashboard, the connections I created would have disappeared.
Also,when I create the live office connections on the dashboards Data -->Connections tab and try to publish the dashboard, it publishes forever. The generating swf window was running until I came the next morning which means that it does not publish to the BO portal. I am not sure what else I could try to get this working.
I have created OLAP connections to the Bex cubes and created webi reports using these connections. I am not sure if OLAP connections would be a problem. To test it, I created relational Universe using UDT tool and created a webi report on top of it to test and tried importing the excel with live office connection to dashboards, but it gets stuck forever.
Could anyone advise me on any of the missing steps or something else to try to get this working?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohini.Hi Preetesh,
The excel takes less than a minute to refresh all the datasets when refreshed from outside dashboards. I also do not think this is a performance issue.
Today I tried importing the excel with live office connections on a different desktop with Dashboards 4.1 SP5 and it got imported instantly. The machine I was trying had Dashboards 4.0 SP6 base version and was updated with 4.1 SP4. I suspected the install might be corrupted and re-installed Dashboards 4.1 SP4 after uninstalling all the versions. The excel got imported instantly and I could see all the Live office connections and got refreshed on document open as well. I saved it to the BO platform without setting up Live Office connections through Data Manager and it got published successfully.
I closed the Dashboard and re-opened it later and setup the Live Office connections and tried publishing on the BO Portal, its running forever with Generating Swf window. Not sure what is going wrong. In the task manager, I do see two excel processes running which I think is one of dashboard and one of Live office.
Thanks,
Rohini. -
How to configure Live Office Data with no Logon Prompt
Hi,
I am using Xcelsius with Live Office. Everything appears fine except that when I attempt to preview the dashboard using the Xclesius preview button I am being prompted with a logon screen. For my clients this will not be an acceptable solution and I need to find a way to create this dashboard without having a logon prompt appear.
I have done some research and it appears that using Flash Vars with a CelogonToken variable is the way to go. This is fine except that this solution requires that I either use the Variable to open a child swf or I have to embed the report in a .Net application and pass the value for the Flash Var using some c# or VB.net coding.
Ideally, I am looking for a way to pre set this password so that users can go straight to Infoview and view the dashboard.
I guess what I am really after is functionality similar to using a Web Service Connector which enalbes developers to fill in the password value as a part of the object and be done with it.
Does any one have any idea as to how this can be accomplished?
Thanks,
Tyhowwow
I want to set up a 'Guest' accountFine, but I recommend you use a different name, e.g. "visitor", not "guest".
If, under "Parental Controls" you select "Finder & System", then click "Configure", you can select "This user can only use these applications:" which gives you all the control you need. However, you may also need to check "Allow supporting programs" for some choices. -

Error due to Passing value in Live Office prompt
Hi All,
I have a webi report that is inserted in excel using live office. Connection is set to refresh on demand and the prompts are fed by linking cells in excel.
When a value example "James, Carter" is passed to the prompt i get the "Failed to fetch data provider data (LO26306)" error. I am sure it is happening only when there is a comma in between the text, if there is no comma then it is fine. If i pass the value in webi report it works fine(With or without the comma) it is happening only with live office. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks
JI have tried the option of replacing the comma with %2C but it dint work.
The value i am passing to a live office prompt consists of a comma and hence i am getting this error. If i have plain words. Also when i passed (AB) that is brackets i am getting the exact result. I do have these different scenarios in my data.
Can anyone help.
