Xcelsius call to SSM

The CubeServices contains a method getAllInitiativeStatus(). The parameters are
context id - in my PW_Sample there are two entries in CPMS_Context with ids of 45 and 48 so I entered 45
dbNameId - in CPMS_DBName the id for PW_samepl is 1
as of date - I have tried vaious data formats to represent dates in 2005
periodicity - I used the string "Monthly"
I have not yet been able to make this method return data form the PW_Sample database. How do I call it to get a value?
Thanks
Cliff

Hi Cliff,
You can execute, SMDataService->AllDBName method to get the DB ID's, Execute SMDataService->getAllContext/getAllScorecard to get the scorecard/conext ID's.
Pass these information to the method you are reffering.
The format for Date <dd>.<mm>.<year> works for me.
You can post the exact error message you receive from the method.
alternatively you can look at the Net Weaver Java error messages to find out where it is going wrong.

New Map in Xcelsius

HI all experts.
i have problem with the map in xcelsius.
i work with Vietnam map.The Vietnam map in xcelius is the old one of the map.
Now at Vietnam, some provinces has separate from one province to two province.
If i use the map in xcelsius is wrong with the Vietnam map now.
coz map in xcelsius is older than now.
How can i update the old map in xcelsius to match with the map now?
Best Regards,

Thanks for your reply.
There is a free addon for Xcelsius called AnyMap which would allow you to make your own map if you have an image to start from
Do you mean i need to create map by manual?

Run HP SSM in OSD Task Sequence

I am trying to get the HP SSM tool to run during OSD. If i run the command from within windows or use a batch file it works no problem but i cant seem to get it to work during the TS.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Ah HA! the .\ did it! yes, all is working now! I have the logs going to a separate logs share hence why the two connections. The reason I was confused why this didn't work is because in my old MDT task sequence before we were using
sccm I created a standard application called hp ssm with the quiet install command below which worked great.
cmd /c "\\sccm.legislature.intranet\sources$\ssm\SSM.EXE ./updates /Install /Accept /NOREBOOT /LOG:\\sccm.legislature.intranet\sources$\logs\ssm"
It's interesting that the way it works now in sccm is much more similar to my offline usb ssm installer where i have a bat file that i run in which it's contents are the following.
cmd /c "\ssm\SSM.EXE ./updates /Install /Accept /RB /LOG:..\logs"
Thanks!

How to force refresh of data through browser or PDF?

We have the dashboard set to refresh every minute. We are pulling the data using XML from DB. When we are in browser and clear the browser cache and then reload the .swf... the data is updated. We haven't been able to figure out how to force the cache-clear and data refresh with either swf or pdf.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
Is the XML coming from a web page or a web server?
If yes then you can give this a go. To stop the caching mark your web page with extra tags to say it has expired.
HTML page example:
<HEAD>
< META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" />
< META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0" />
</HEAD>
JSP example:
<%
// Stop Internet Explorer from caching the results of this page.
// We do this so that every time Xcelsius calls this page it see the latest results.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>

Fold/UnFold XI 3.1 with Open Document

Hi guys,
I'm with the following issue,
When I open my report(Web Intelligence) from infoview the report is opened with the fold functionality pressed. My problem is when I open the report from my dashboard (XCelsius) calling an openDocument URL. The fold/unfold functionality is display however the fold isn't pressed. I'd like that when the user opened the report the fold functionality would be pressed.
if anyone could helpme I'll apreciate.
Thanks and regards,
Eduardo

hi Eduardo,
I tried to replicate the scenario but i am not facing this issue.
I have followed below steps.
1) Created a sample report using Island Resort Marketing Universe using Country, resort and revenue objects.
2) Created a section on Country
3) Clicked the Fold button
4) Save the report.
In Infoview, report is viewed and i am able to see the Folds at sections and Fold button as pressed.
Now I go to Xcelsius and drag a URL button to canvas, and specify the below URL
http://BOservername:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&iDocID=29879
and export this to Infoview.
When I viewed the Flash file in Infoview and clicked the URL button, i am able to see the Folds as well as Fold button is in clicked state.
Please try the above steps and let me know if you have any issues.

Vamsee

Webservice timeout ? where can we set it up in BO ?

Hi, I post this question in this part of the forum as well in case some Xcelsius user would have had the same problem :
Hi,
we are using BO XI R2 Edge and we have a number of concurrent accesses licences.
We have a problem handling the life duration of a webservice.
We use Query as webservice to build a webservice from our universe, and use the advanced feature to set a timeout of 1 minute for the webservice.
Then we use Xcelsius to generate a table that is exported to WebI and integrated in Infoview as an object.
When we display this object from the infoview, the xcelsius calls the webservice to get data, and when a user clicks on a part of the graph, he gets another table from another Xcelsius object, with another webservice.
The problem is that a webservice is still active during 20 minutes, so our concurrents licences are consumed really fas by a single person browsing xcelsius documents ...
Webservices are going through Tomcat, which has been set to 1 minute as session timeout, as well as 2 minutes for IIS (infoview sessions).
Still, no result, there seems to be a timeout period of 20 minutes set up in BO, but we cannot find where.
Could you please indicate use where this parameter can be set ?
Thank you for your help in this blocking problem for us.
Sébastien

If you use Query As A Web Service, you can configure the timeout of web service to other time but not 20 minutes default:
1. Open Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes\dsws.properties.
2. Find and configure the property "session.timeout=". If this property does not exist, add it.
Note the time is measured by seconds. If you want to set 60 minutes, you should configure session.timeout=3600.
3. Restart tomcat.
Further information you can refer:

Auto Restore to Test Enviroment

I have set this up once, so I know it's possible, just do not have the script previously used to replicate the process:
Step 1) Execute the Backup of DatabaseLive (DatabaseLive.mdf & DatabaseLive.ldf) to DatabaseLive-MM-DD-YYYY.bak
Step 2) Restore the DatabaseLive-MM-DD-YYYY.bak to DatabaseTest (DatabaseTest.mdf & DatabaseLive.ldf)
Step 3) During the restore the Database and Log File need to be changed in the Restore to location so it does not overwrite the live database and log files.
Step 4) Replace DatabaseTest table sysconfig field orgname (sysconfig.orgname) with 'Orginization Test -' + Current Date
It took me awhile to get it setup previously, but that was awhile ago and I have since left that position.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Never heard it called GUI SSMS, am using the Studio Manager, but with this being a two part process, I do not know how you would be able to:
Do the steps in the GUI SSMS Object Explorer, but DON'T CLICK the final "GO". Instead, script the action.
Save & execute the script.
As this is not a one step process, it would be three processes, it would be a backup, then a restore, but with changing paths and file names and then running an replace or update query on a record.
I've only been able to do it via scripting.

Cube Service

I have enabled cube service Web Service over PAS in a VMWare image using NEtweaver 7.2. I then created a simple Xcelsius call of one of the Cube Service methods. The fact that the methods are available for me in Xcelius would indicate the Web Service is working correctly. However when I attempt to preview theflash I am prompted to add the file and source to the Adobe Global Security settings. I do this but when I retry the preview I get the same prompt again.
To ensure there was nothing in my VMWare image that was preventing access to the Adobe Global Security settings I then opened another Webservice Xcelius flash that read data from the external Internet. After adding this second flash to the Adobe Global Security settings it worked fine whereas I have not been able to get the PAS sourced flash file to run.
Has anyone used this service before? Can anyone offer tips?

SSM calling Xcelsius and BO Reports combine datas and Universes into SSM

I would like to connect within SAP SSM reports and Xcelsius passing parameters to dashaboards of Xcelsius (with BO universes or not) and merge information from PAS Cube and data from other universes BO.
Could someone help me
Best Regards
Carlos Mardinotto

Carlos,
There are two different processes you use to get information into Xcelsius and into Universes. For Xcelsius you are using web services, since you are bringing in not only the data but the objective names, etc. to create the dashboards.
For getting PAS data into Universes you create an ODBO connection to Voyager and from Voyager you create a Universe.
In the Configuration Help guide for Strategy Management available from Service Marketplace (Installation & Upgrade Guides), Section 9.6 gives information on providing Strategy Management data for Xcelsius and Section 9.7 has instructions on providing Strategy Management Data for Voyager.

Bob

#2170 error calling a webservice from Xcelsius having crossdomain.xml

Hello together,
we are facing a #2170 error indicating we don't have a proper policy file in place when executing a published Xcelsius flash in SAP BI application portal.
We created a WebService that is running an SAP BI System 7.01. The WebService is function module based and was generated following the wizzard. Afterwards we created a Xcelsius app that consumes data from this WebService (via data connection). The resulting flash from Xcelsius was pulished to SAP BI System (portal).
Since there are many entries in the SDN and the internet in general we finally also created an crossdomain.xml file on the BI system which can be accessed and is visible by using "https://<server>/crossdomain.xml".
Now the confusion begins: We exported the flash from Xcelsius to local desktop and executed the corresponding HTML-file. It's working and I can receive/see WebService data (after adjusting flash-security-settings). If we upload both exported files (html and swf) to the BI system (as MIME objects) and execute the html again we are also receiving WebServervice data. So far so good. But if we execute the link from the SAP BI Portal (Xcelsius menu > SAP > Start) we still get the error #2170 indicating we don't have a proper domain policy file in place. But for my understanding we do have. So currently I would assume the error message is somehow misleading.
During all the activities I found out that this error is also raised if the user has insufficient authorization. My user has SAP_ALL authorization for testing purpose.
In general I would say we are not that wrong with our Xcelsius/WebService if we are not coming from BI portal. So my questions are:
1.) Are there any authorization on portal side that might not fit and lead to this error? If insufficient authorizations produces such an error ...
2.) Did we miss any other stuff during our try/fail-operations?
Many thanks in advance for your hints.
Steffen

How to call Xcelsius in Java Web application without OpenDoc

Hi,
We require to call Xcelsius Dashboard from a Java Web application. We cann't use OpenDoc function as result of some client preferences/restrictions
Please let me know, what would be the other method to call the Xcelsius Dashboard from a Web application.
Regards,
Sachin

Xcelsius docs are in swf format. You could probably just host them without security and view with flash.

Calling a webi query from xcelsius dashboard

Hi Experts,
I have created an xcelsius dashboard with a URL link to a detailed webi report. I'm using open document to launch the webi query and with 1 parameter value to pass over from xcelsius to webi.
The URL is http<server:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?mode=full&appKind=InfoView&isApplication=true&nbPrompts=1&sIDType=CUID&sRefresh=Y&iDocID=AbgeiGFRMSlGtxcmjJeCRJM&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FOpenDocumentls%lsSProject=$A2.
Cell $A2 contains the value of the project selected by the dashboard user.
This URL does call the correct webi query but the webi query still prompts for the project. The 'Project' prompt in my webi report is set as optional and I have ticked the 'Refresh on open' check-box before saving the webi query.
How and what else do I need to do to by-pass the webi prompt for project?
Please let me know.
Thanks very much,
Anthony

Hi
Place the url in one cell and your passing prompt in another cell.concatenate both the cells and pass that to your url button.
eg:
in cell I6: http://sever:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&iDocID=AaHo4EFB5rhPplDJTrHLM6o&sIDType=CUID&lsSPlant=
in cell D5: 1002
in cell I7: concatenate(I6,D5)
Pass this cell to your Url button.
Regards,
Peri.

Xcelsius suddenly only allows chart to call data from first excel worksheet

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius 2008 Engage with SP1 FP3 installed.
I have never had this problem before, but in the last week, Xcelsius won't allow a chart to call data from any worksheet in the excel file other than the first worksheet. If I reorder the worksheets in the excel file, i can access a different worksheet, but only the one that is saved as the first worksheet (left most tab).
In dashboards i have already created, i can't change the data range of a chart that's already calling data from a worksheet unless i select the first worksheet.
Could this be an automatic update from microsoft? Has anyone else experienced this and worked out how to overcome it? It is frustrating to keep moving the worksheet to the front and reimporting the data everytime i want to make a change that isn't in the first excel worksheet.
Thanks,
Scott.

As far as I remember it's not possible. Thus, find attached VI and use it to convert line/column to excel cell format. It's working if you are not using more than 26 columns (i.e. column AA, AB, ... if this is the case you have to improve it a little)
Hope this helps

Call and display Xcelsius SWF file from an SAP Transaction

Hello Experts ,
Could you please suggest if it is possible to Call and display Xcelsius SWF file
from an SAP Transaction and if Yes how can this be achieved.
Regards ,
Jerin.

Jerin,
It is possible to embed a Xcelsius model into an SAP WebTemplate (Anil promised to write a blog about this very soon). After that you can include the WebTemplate in the GUI menu, Role menu or Portal.

Call Web Applications from Xcelsius using LiveOffice connections

Hi,
I have read the HTG: "How To... Call BEx Web Applications from SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards (Xcelsius) and vice versa" here on SDN. Problem is that it is using BW Connection as connection.
Is it be possible to call web applications using Live Office connections?
Br,
Sonni

Hi Sonni,
If you are building dashboard using live office connection and you want to give a drill down to detailed webi or crystal report, you can use Open document interface. In the particular HTG you have mentioned, Open document approach is not possible because dashboard is based on SAP BW. Since you are using live office, i guess you have the source report published in BOE and you can use open document approach here.
If this is not your requirement please mention your exact requirement.
Hope it helps you.

Nikhil Joy
