Multiple "Instances" of Xcelsius dashboard

Hi,
I am using Crystal Vision Server XI, Crystal Reports XI R2, and Crystal Xcelsius 4.5. I would like to know if there is a way to create one .xlf file that will point to a .rpt report for different divisions based upon their login in Infoview?
I do not want to have to create multiple .xlf files (one for each division) if I can help it. That way if there is a change to the dashboard I want have to make the same change in all of the division dashboards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not a simple case unfortunately. At this point there is not a Crystal Report to tie the dashboard to. We are still doing the reports in another system. The survey is very lengthy (133 questions) and is a mixture of demographic questions and scored questions. Even with a Crystal Report I am not sure that I could tie them together. The current report (the new Crystal Report will be in the same format) has seven columns. The first two columns are standard in that they show the counts of the demographic statements or the score of the range statements trended by date time frames (ie: Qtr 1, Qtr 2, etc..). After that the client gets to choose what they want in the remaining 5 columns. The third column could be a variance of the first two columns for scored statments or it could be the standard deviation of the responses for column 1 or column 2 or it could be the Database score for that statement. You get the point, it is a very versatile report that is not the same for each customer and may not be the same for a paticular client for the next reporting period.
The client for this project has 109 different divisions so you can see why I do not want to create so many dashboards. If they decide to change the format I have to change every dashboard.
Right now my only experience with the dashboards is not very complex. I am a VB .NET programmer but I have not started writing the program that would create the Crystal Reports so I have not studied the SDK enough yet to even really know how to go about using the OpenDocument function. My current dashboards are based on the standard Excel file with mapped .xml files. I update the .xml files daily from a program that reads the calculated scores from a SQL database. At this point that is the only way I have to build these dashboards and I don't think there is a way of getting around the multiple .xlf files.
Sorry this has been so lenghty but this is the dilemma that I am faced with. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Oh yeah, I am now down to three weeks to have this accomplished.

How to use multiple connections for xcelsius dashboard via toggle button

Can anyone shed some light on how to apply a toggle button for multiple connections using xcelsius dashboard.
I created two SAP connections in my xcelsius dashboard. The first connection uses query 1 (bottom ten customers) and the second connection uses query 2 (top ten customers). I wanted to use a toggle button where the user would click Top Ten customers versus Bottom Ten customers. Which ever the user clicks in the toggle botton would run that query.
If the toggle button is not the way to handle this can someone explain a better approach to run either query in the same dashboard.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I've never had to do this so have no practical experience. However in theory you should be able to do the following (assuming the data connection type youu2019re using has the "Usage" tab):
Set up the two connections as normal - On the usage tab set the detail query to Refresh before components are loaded and make sure that this is unchecked for the other query. Set both queries to populate the same range so that one query will overwrite the other in the Xcelsius spreadsheet.
Bind a toggle button to a cell e.g. A1
Back to the data connections again and set the "Refresh on trigger" trigger cell to A1. And set the "When Value Becomes" to either "On" or "Off" dependent on how you've set up the toggle button. Repeat for the other query.
Hope this helps,
Paul

Suddenly: "F12" opens Dashboard, NO vol control, but low background noice; multiple instances of items in dropdown menus; "frames" appearing all over the place. Corrupt OS, HD failing, or virus??? 10.5.8 OS MacBook. Thank you, all!!!

a couple of weeks ago, suddenly:
"F12" now opens Dashboard, NO vol control, but low background noice sounds like a radio broadcast yet it's hardly audible; F10, F11, F12 not responding as Volume control keys;
multiple instances of items in dropdown menus in Safari and Mail;
black "frames" appearing all over the place in Safari and Mail.
corrupt OS, HD failing, or virus???
10.5.8 OS MacBook.
Thank you, all!!!

black frames showing up on the desktop, too; like when Mail minimizes to the Dock, a black frame shows up outlining where Mail was on the desktop ...
has anyone ever seen anything like this ... ever ???
Thank you, all.

Xcelsius dashboard pulling data after BO session timeout

Hi,
We are working in BO 3.1 Sp2 fp 2.6 environment where in we have built Xcelsius dashboard published on infoview for end users.
These xcelsius dashboard are using Live Office connection to show data from webi and crystal reports and have multiple tabs to navigate apart from Home page.
The scenario is user logs in to infoview using his/her SAP credentials and access these .swf file . The user is presented with a drop down filter box , he can select the values from there and see the data based on that. During this activity if user remains idle for more than 20 mins and comes back to home page after that , a error message is displayed saying session is lost or expired which is quite expected.
Now, if user clicks on OK for that error message and try to put filter values again system allows him to do so and shows him the updated data based on filters.
The question is , is this happening because of cache or something as there is no session active for user still he can put filter and see data and can also navigate across the tabs in dashboards.
As mentioned ,the xcelsius file is using Live Office connection and property "Latest Instance" for reports which are already scheduled.
Appreciate your views on this behavior (after the BO timesout).
Thanks,
Chandra

The issue is not really with standard timeout which is set to 20 mins.
The core problem which annoys users is while they are still moving across the tabs (that means they are active), they'll get this error message if they don't go back to home page within 20 mins time interval .
This is so because when they are navigating between tabs their session somehow is not detected as active in BO and thus expires after 20 mins.
The only suggestion that we could give to users is to go to home page before session expires so that they can continue their analysis without getting this error.
But, still we don't have the reason as why during analysis on tabs session is detected as idle and how data is coming in dashboard even if session expires from BO side.
Hope this clarifies.
Will really appreciate any insight on this.
Thanks,
Chandra

Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

Hi there,
I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Connecting ORACLE 10G, SAP R/3 to Xcelsius dashboard

Dear All,
I have a scenario with a customer, where in we have to develop an XCelsius dashboard over Oracle 10g source. Customer is keen on building dashboards directly on top of Oracle 10G (or) SAP R/3.
Could you please let me know - which approach is good for Performance of Dash boards?
1)ORACLE 10G>NON SAP Universe>WEBI Report>Live Office> XCelsius
2)Oracle 10GSAP R/3 (Using of Data Services)>ABAP Function Module>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office> XCelsius.
3)Oracle 10G>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office-->XCelsius
Thanks and regards,
Raghu

HI Raghu,
1)ORACLE 10G>NON SAP Universe>WEBI Report>Live Office> XCelsius
Here we can make use of the background scheduling of webi reports and use latest instance if the volume of data is more in the tables.
As webi is a very good tool we can consolidate data and optimise the performence of the dashboard..
Note: Universe designing should be done very carefully.
2))Oracle 10g/SAP R/3 (Using of Data Services)>ABAP Function Module/Infoset>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office> XCelsius.
SAP R/3>function module/Infoset>Crystal repotrs 2008->liveoffice>dashboard.
Here we can make use of the background scheduling of Crystal reports and use latest instance if the volume of data is more in the tables.
it is good if you implement all the logic in ABAP side and simplify the work at Crystal report side so that the dashboard performence is good if the refresh option is ONDEMAND.
Note: ABAP consultant is needed.
3)Oracle 10G>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office-->XCelsius
In this case you have to implement all you logic in Crystal reports and schedule the data and use latest instance for better performence of the dashboard.
Decision has to be made depending on the volume of data logic behind report to display the final data..
if you are using webi in ur flow you can have better staging and adhoc analysis can be given to the user .
Case 2 is also good if ur making every thing at ABAP level .
i dnt suggest 3rd case.
Hope this helps you ..

Best practice to implement different Xcelsius dashboard for different users

I'm implementing an Xcelsius dashboard that requires to show each individual user with different content (e.g. When a user logins in, the dashboard shows her name and job title, her performance and her subordinate's performance). I'm just wondering what's the best practice to implement scenario like this? Thanks.

Hi Thomas
What you are looking at is "Row Level Security" within BusinessObjects and the options you have are determined by what type of data you are reporting off of (relational data, OLAP data, BW data, etc.)
For instance, if you are using relational data with a Universe you could setup a database table with the BusinessObjects username to correspond with their e-mail address or other unique identifier. From there, you could add security to your universe using the @variable('BOUSER')
That way, any objects created off of the universe (whether it is a Crystal Report, Web Intelligence, BI Web Service, QaaWS, LiveOffice, etc.) will filter the data based on this security model. So any Xcelsius dashboard based on this underlying data will also be filtered.
And that is just one of the options you have, depending on your data source.

How to connect Already created WebI reports with Xcelsius Dashboards

HI Experts,
My requirement it to bring data from already in use WebI reports to a consolidated Dashboard. I am aware of connecting universe with Dashboard with the help of QaaWS.
Is there is any other way that we can connect our dashboard?
We are thinking to publish those dashboards on the SAP Enterprise BI Portal.
Thanks in advance!!!
Edited by: BIBO_Apprentice on Aug 13, 2011 7:40 AM

Hi,
One can connect WebI reports with Xcelsius dashboards in 3 ways:
1. Using QaaWS : connects universe with Dashboard. Dashboard uses the WSDL link to get data that works on SOAP (that works on exchanging web structures).
2. Using Live Office Connection: With the help of Live Office one can connect the WebI reports directly. One can take advantage of the scheduled instances of the WebI reports. So it is good for time consuming reports.
3. Using BI Web Services: Here custom web services are created of intended report instances. Publication is done from CMS side.
after that WSDL is used as any other web services.
Get back if you need any further clarification.

Multiple instances of Mail.app must be possible

I've seen many questions regarding the possibility of running multiple instances of Mail.app as separate processes. There seems to be much good reason to be able to do so, i.e. separating work and private mail, and very little bad reason to do so (maybe some problems when doing upgrades or backups, but I'm not yet sure of this). It also seems that it should not be so hard to do.
So far, using some web acquired wisdom, I've done the following:
1. Duplicate mail.app:
sudo ditto Mail.app WorkMail.app
2. Rename the executable:
mv /Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail /Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/MacOS/WorkMail
3. Use Property List Editor to set the following values in/Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/Info.plist (Apple-S to Save changes!):
Root/CFBundleExecutable=WorkMail
Root/CFBundleIdentifier=com.apple.workmail
Root/CFBundleName=WorkMail
Root/NSServices/0/NSPortName=WorkMail
Root/NSServices/1/NSPortName=WorkMail
Root/NSServices/2/NSPortName=WorkMail
Root/UTExportedTypeDeclarations/0/UTTypeIdentifier=com.apple.workmail.emlx
Root/UTExportedTypeDeclarations/1/UTTypeIdentifier=com.apple.workmail.emlx.part
4. Create the following directories:
mkdir ~/Library/WorkMail Downloads
mkdir ~/Library/WorkMail
4. Launch the 'new' application 'WorkMail'.
5. Create mail accounts using the application's 'wizard'.
Here is where the first problem is encountered. The new account directories and files are still created at ~/Library/Mail. Navigating to Mail->Preferences->Accounts->[account_name]->Advanced seems to offer the option to change the mail store account directory, but nothing can actually be changed here. So...
6. Quit WorkMail.
7. Move newly created account(s) directories (where [newaccountdirectory] is a directory named with the format: [mail_type]-[user]@[domain].[tld]@[pop].[domain].[tld]]) to the correct location:
sudo mv ~/Library/Mail/[newaccountdirectory] ~/Library/WorkMail/
8. Use Property List Editor to set the following values in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.workmail.plist (Apple-S to Save changes!):
/Root/ActiveViewers/0/AttachedMailboxListExpandedItems/[0to_#_ofaccounts]/=~/Library/WorkMail/Mailboxes/...
/Root/CurrentTransferMailboxPath=~/Library/WorkMail/Mailboxes/...
/Root/MailAccounts/[0to_#_of_accounts]/AccountPath=~/Library/WorkMail/[new_accountdirectory]
/Root/MailDownloadsPath=~/Library/WorkMail Downloads
9. Relaunch WorkMail.
Everything at this point seems to work okay, **BUT** when I launch Mail while WorkMail is launched, I find that I cannot navigate into any mail folders within Mail. I receive an error message indicating that a necessary directory is locked. It seems that the locking mechanism used by the application may be hard-coded to lock ~/Library/Mail, and both instances of the application continue to take this action when launched, making it impossible for both to work harmoniously at the same time. I will conduct more testing and experimentation, but I am not yet capable of editing the application itself. If anyone can take us this last step, I'm sure there are many who would also like to be able to take advantage of the potential functionality.
Thanks for any input!

Hopefully, there is someone with a programming background who
can take me and other who have posted similar questions through
the final mile on this...
Well, I do have a programming background, and I must say that it amazes me that someone might want to do what you did to “solve” a problem that IMO doesn’t exist.
What exactly is it that you expect to accomplish by running multiple instances of Mail, and for which neither (1) organizing your mail using multiple mail accounts, custom mailboxes, rules, and/or smart mailboxes, nor (2) setting up separate user accounts, are acceptable solutions? I just don’t get it.
I've seen many questions regarding the possibility of running multiple
instances of Mail.app as separate processes.
I haven’t. Could you please provide a link for such a question, preferably one asked by someone who knew how Mail and Mac OS X work, i.e. a link for a case where there really was such a need?
There seems to be much good reason to be able to do so
I know of no such reasons, neither good nor bad.
i.e. separating work and private mail
I don’t see how that’s a reason to want to run multiple instances of Mail. Could you please elaborate?
Maybe if you tell us what exactly is the problem that you’re trying to solve, instead of focusing on a convoluted “solution” that doesn’t work, we could propose a solution that does...
and very little bad reason to do so
Well, if the fact that it’s so convoluted and doesn’t even work aren’t bad enough reasons, I don’t know what it is...
It also seems that it should not be so hard to do.
I wonder what makes you think so. It does certainly seem hard to me, so hard that I don’t even think it can be done without breaking something, if at all...

What is the best way to load multiple instances of a button into master index page?. I have looked a

I have successfully created an animated button that opens to reveal a quotation with a nested clickable link to the source. What I would like to do is have several of these with different quotes inside them, scattered on the page. I have looked at the composition loader available via Edge Commons, and it seems that would require some sort of Edge animate Stage 'frame' to load the instances into? Is there any way to place them directly into the master page - as div elements...?
The outer of the buttons is the same, on hover they open partialy on click fully, to reveal their particular text - which I thought about loading it at runtime with json, or maybe handlebars...?
I would also like to make the buttons only take the necessary space. ie. before they expand they are only buttons. ( I have set the stage to hidden but it still takes up space). To acheive this, I think perhaps I will have to target the inner components css, and set them as display:none until the button is hovered over, then set :hover and :active pseudo classes inside edge. Is this feasible?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions...

Hello, Thanks for your helpful input. Based on that, and the tutorial 'http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-edge-animate-cc/ingesting-external-data-dc/' - I have written code to drive my button's behaviour. (copied below...)
var textArray =new Array();
var currentHead = 0;
var currentText = 0;
var currentFoot = 0;
var s = sym.getSymbol("textContainer");
sym.$("textContainer")$.("text").html("");
var sh = sym.getSymbol("headContainer");
sym.$("headContainer")$.("head").html("");
var sf = sym.getSymbol("footContainer");
sym.$("footContainer")$.("footer").html("");
$.getJSON("assets/sources1.json", function(data){
          for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
                    textArray.push({"head":data[i].heading,
                              "text":data[i].text,
                              "footer":data[i].foot,
                              "link":data[i].link});
          sym.$("headContainer")$.("head").html(textArray[currentHead]).heading;
          sym.$("textContainer")$.("text").html(textArray[currentText]).text;
          sym.$("footContainer")$.("foot").html(textArray[currentFoot]).foot;
          sym.$("footContainer")$.("link").html(textArray[currentLink]).link;
But there is an error I don't understand at line 7...
Also - as you can see, at present I have several symbols in parallel. Would I be better off nesting the text containers inside the outer button container? and would I be better off creating styled mini- pages of text data, and then loading them - instead of loading them as symbols? I have had to create seperate symbols because I cannot adequately stle the text - so some is bold, some is italic etc. within one text field. Or can I? I guess I could nest several text fields inside one symbol...?
I remain unsure how to load the finished animation button instances. In your example you were still loading into an animation But from yor example, I guess I would need to place all my examples inside an outer edge composition... but then I think positioning them accurately with css, making adjustments etc. will be fairly tricky. Is there any way to place multiple instances directly into divs in index.html? Could I simply repeat the class...? I may be answering my own questions here.

Excel sheet on sharepoint to be used as source for Xcelsius dashboard

Hi Everyone,
We have to build an Xcelsius dashboard based on an excel sheet's data. This excel sheet is placed on a sharepoint, which will be updated periodically.
I would like to know what kind of dat a connection i can use to fetch this excel data and publish this dashboard.
I couldnt find any suitable type of connection in the data manager...please suggest me a way to get this done.
Thanks,
Shesha.

Hi Ryan,
Yes our customer does have sharepoint, can you please let me know how the sharepoint can expose the Excel spread sheet as a web service. I think this solution will work out, if i can get the web service. Please share the steps for this.
Does it involve any 3rd party tools? .
Thanks,
Shesha.

The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
Any further assistance will be appreciated

Multiple instances of firefox running cannot kill in task manager "Access denied"

There's no issue with starting a new instance after closing one, the "firefox is already running" error is not occurring (ok maybe once or twice a month, but it's not related to this problem, as my problem happens all the time.)
Apparently when closing a ff window it never fully stops. My computer slows down because of it and these multiple instances of firefox show up in Task Manager. When I try to kill the extra processes it just goes "BANG" and the "access denied" error dialog box appears. They are all running under my user account, and in CPU some are just 10 or 25 and some are in the hundreds and some are over a million. what the heck is going on?
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and ff 23.0 but this has been happening since about ff 15 (?)

When closing Firefox completely, it is important to close it using the <i>Exit</i> button, located inside of the Firefox/File menu.
Another cause to this problem could be a Firefox preloader. Do you have any programs that will load Firefox automatically? They are supposed to improve start time.
You can also '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
I hope that one of my solutions helps to fix your problem. Please report back with updates soon.
<b>NOTE: </b>You are using an outdated version of Firefox. This can cause security and functionality issue. Please update to the most recent version as soon as possible.

Having trouble running multiple instances of Firefox in XenDesktop 7.1

We recently upgraded our Citrix environment to XenDesktop 7.1. We published Firefox, but only one user at a time can have the program open. When we try to run multiple sessions, we get this error message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
We've had it published in previous Citrix environments with no problems. How do we need to configure Firefox in XenDesktop so that multiple users can run the program at the same time? Thanks.

I do not understand virtualisation.
I can however say that ordinarily Firefox needs each user to have a separate profile and for Firefox to open simultaneous multiple instances with separate profiles the ''-no-remote'' argument needs to be used.

Multiple instances of explorer.exe running in task manager

I got a dropper trojan virus on my computer that microsoft security essencials do not recognized but after running "superantispyware" antivirus I got discover it and delete it. After that, I still could find the infected files in my
administrator folders as .temp files and I just erased them. After that my computer started crashing and runing several instances of explorer.exe in the task manager with different memory values, some of them ascending to 350,000. I have set up my computer
to run just the basic services, I have tried windows in safe mode, ran other antivirus programs but still it is performing the same. As far as I have noticed other unusual process present are host.dll, dllhost.exe, and logonUI.exe. Any idea about it? Thanks
in advance for your help.

I have the same issue. It started about a month ago when I was filling out a form online and had to quit and close the window. My system got very buggy (can't remember details), flashing, then really slow. Found a bunch of explorer.exe instances
in Task Manager. Ran Security Essentials and several other anti-viruses, nothing found.
Running Win7 Pro, sp1, 64-bit, CoreI5, 4Gb Ram
Restored system to a previous version, didn't work
Restored last system image, didn't work
Used System Repair Disk - ran Memory Diagnostic. Said it would give me report after reboot. Never saw a report after reboot. But only one instance of explorer.exe in task manager at that point. Took disk out, rebooted normally. After
20 minutes or so, the multiple instances were back.
Used Repair Disk again, ran Memory Diagnostic. Again, no report after reboot (leaving disk in machine both times), but only one instance running again.
Did this a few times with the same result, so now leaving disk in system and always boot from it.
Ran Security Essentials again, found that rovnix virus, removed, ran again, found it again.
Ran search for instances and found many. Here's an example:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_b9fc4815c4e292b5
C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.21669_none_b0333b22a99da332
C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.21669_none_ba87e574ddfe652d
C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_afa79dc39081d0ba
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
When I check properties on the now single one on Task Manager, this is what it shows:
C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_afa79dc39081d0ba\explorer.exe
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
I was going to reinstall entire system, but was from an Anytime Upgrade which now says it's invalid. Much more to story on that (calls to MS support, etc.).
