BI Widgets and Xcelsius

Hi all,
I've got a vanilla deployment of Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.0 Premium, with some Webi and Xcelsius content added in.
I'm trying to use BI Widgets, and I've found that while Webi works okay (ie can open a report up, drag a block onto my desktop as a widget), Xcelsius refuses to work.
If I have a SWF file in my public folders, I cannot open it at all.  If I try to open a widget from disk, and pick the SWF that is saved to my desktop, it gives me an error.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this?
Thanks in advance,
Joshua Fletcher

  • My widgets and dock don't function like it used to - no  ⊗

    My dock no longer has a ⊗ next to it and I cannot access my widgets unless I goto home/library/widgets and click on the only widget listed there (business.wdgt).
    Once I click on that, all of my widgets show as does the ⊗ but once I click back on another application the widgets disappear and I am back to having to goto finder to restart them and my ⊗ is gone again.
    I am very new to the Mac so I am sure it is something that I did but cannot seem to figure out - any advice most appreciated.

    The F12 key gets you to "Dashboard" -- when F12 is pressed, the display becomes grey and the widgets swoop in -- and the + (in a circle) becomes visible in the lower right.
    The + icon allows you to manage your widgets.
    The "Dock" is another and entirely different crop of icons, typically at the bottom of the main display.
    You can use System Preferences from the Dock to set up Expose and Widgets in hot corners; when you move the mouse to one of the corners of the main display, you can set actins such as making Dashboard visible.

  • Liveoffice is not visible in Excel and Xcelsius

    Hi,
    We have installed LiveOffice. This is visible in all MS Office applications like powerpoint, word and excel for the administrator .
    But when I logged into the same system, live office is visible only in powerpoint and word. It is not reflected in excel and Xcelsius. But live office is enabled for all the applications in "Live Office enable_addin".
    Please help me resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm experiencing this same issue. 
    I'm running XI 3.1 with Live Office SP6 and Excel 2010
    I used the Live Office "Enable Add-in" tool to enable Excel support for Live office 3.1
    I launch Excel, and I see the Add-in for Business Objects Live Office 3.1 is present, however---
    it does not appear in the Excel menu bar
    and when I try to customize the excel toolbar or ribbon, it (Live Office) does not appear as an available option
    and when I re-launch the Live office add-in tool again, the excel box gets un-checked.
    Ideas?
    Thanks - Phil

  • Difference between Crystal Report and Xcelsius ?

    Hi,
    I am newbie to CR and Xcelsius. In most of the articles I read about CR and Xcelsius, I could not understand the difference between these two. Can anyone tell me in simple technical language whats the difference ?
    Also, does Xcelsius works only with Excel sheet ? Whats about pulling data frm Mysql to show data ?
    Thanks,
    Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    Xcelsius is a dashboarding tool. In its simplest format it takes data from an Excel sheet and displays it graphically. It is possible to import live data into Xcelisus, primarily through Web service connections and Excel XML maps. It produces swf files (flash).
    Crsytal Reports is a toll for building reports. These are reports typically laid out in a header, detail footer format, though there is a high level of control over the display. Crystal Reports will connect to almost anything, Relational DBs, Excel, XML data. Business Objects Universes. You can imbedd Xcelsius swf files into Crystal Reports.
    In summary, CR is for reporting and Xcelsius is for dashboarding
    Try help.sap.com and business objects for the product overview documents.

  • Crystal Reports and Xcelsius 2008 Conference

    Hello all,
    I'm not sure which forum I should be putting this in so I'm putting it in the General Forum.  We just purchased Crystal Reports and Xcelsius in the middle of last year and I missed last years conference.  Is there a conference anywhere this year that that will really focus on Business Objects platforms?  I downloaded the SAP TechED 2008 schedule for next month but everything seems to really be geared only to SAP activities which we have none of.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ron

    Keep your eyes on the following link

    This lists current events for Business Objects and should list the next user conference as it gets closer.

  • Crystal Reports and Xcelsius Installation

    Hi I have a mac book pro and wanted to learn crystal reports and xcelsius in a hands on way. I have created a partition on the laptop and am wondering which OS to install - Windows(if so which one) or Linux. Immediate goal is have an environment where I can use CR and Xcelsius with a non sap data source. My end goal eventually is to have an environment where I can use Crystal report and xcelsius with SAP ECC6.
    I am trying to learn CR, Xcelsius with SAP ECC and SAP BW. Your ideas and isights are welcome.
    Thanks

    Hi Otto,
    Thanks for the link. Your link will be a good start for me in terms of finding out the major components required to accomplish this 'project'. I am definitely interesting in collaborating and discussing the findings and exploring the areas of opportunity, so lets stayi in touch.
    I dont have access to any windows os right now. So I am thinking about installing linux on my mac book pro since its free and probably going to beef up the ram to 3 gb (per my understanding max supported on my 2007 model). Hopefully this will get me going in the right direction.
    Any recommendations on Suse vs Red hat. looking for something that is free.
    Thanks

  • Authentication to CR and Xcelsius

    Hi All,
    What authentication mechanisms are supported by Crystal reports and Xcelsius when connected to Web Serves, i.e. WSE3.0/WCF etc
    In what scenarions Win AD will work for Crystal reports and Xcelsius.
    Is it possible to setup WinAD SSO for custom .net Web services from Crystal Reports and for Xcelsius.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    web services can be set up with vintela SSO (look up key words liveoffice SSO on SAP notes). This will work for live office and qaaws (3.1).
    Crystal and Xcelsius can consume WSDL's made in qaaws but this will not enable SSO for the client. Currently SSO to Crystal and Xcelsius clients is not supported.

  • Wrong widget- and anchorpositions in Safari 6

    I created a website and i tested it on Safari 6.
    In editor mode I had to place widgets a bit higher than it will displayed in Safari 6. The pics from the widget is on top of the text.
    (Editormode)
    (in Safari 6)
    When I publish my site and open it with firefox, the pic from the widgets are exactly in this position I placed them in editormode.
    How can I get rid of that problem?
    Anchor links scroll to different positions in Safari compared to Firefox aswell.
    Is there a chance to use widgets and anchor links, which work on any browsers?
    Thank you!

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    From the application's menu bar, select
    File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Using CR and Xcelsius with SAP BW - what is the minimal installation?

    Hi,
    If this question is allready asked and answered several times i appologize.. but I'm having a hard time finding the correct information.
    Our situation is that we run an SAP ERP and SAP BW solution with a federated SAP Enterprise Portal on top. The users require more graphical solutions for both static reporting and dynamic dashboards. So we want to use Crystal Reports and Xcelsius to provide frontend interface, but we want to do as little as possible backend, i.e avoid installing a full BO server with roles etc.
    I appriciate that we need SAP NW EhP 1 SPS 5 to load data directly into Xcelsius and the BO integration kit transports have to be loaded into the BW system for full CR connectivity.
    The problem that I'm having a hard time finding anwsers to is if this setup is capable of storing and and distributing the CR reports and dashboards to endusers? Can CR reports be stored on the BW server? Or can the CR reports and the dashboards be stored in the KW part of the portal?
    Another partly related question, what desktop tool does the enduser need to run CR reports that updates with data from the BW server?
    Alot of customers will have an SAP environment without any BO server/tools. Naturally we want to change as little as possible. A guide to what is needed for each BO BI tool to be implemented on SAP BW would be appriciated.

    Hi
    for the CR reports you need a BO Enterprise (or BO Edge) installation. The access to the BOBJ server is done transparently for your SAP BW users (they are able to start their reports in SAP GUI) but the reports are not stored on the SAP system rather in the BO repository.

  • YouTube Widget and SmartShapes

    Hi,
    I am using a YouTube Widget and I want to use a smartshape to introduce or set context for the video - see pic below.  The problem is that the smartshape does not show up when I F11 - view whole project.  Somehow it seems to override it.  If I take the widget out the smartshape works.  I have tried to not have the widget appear until after the smartshape but that doesn't work.  Can anyone help me clear this up?

    A single button won't work because I need to put a few sentences of text.  It looks like the z order is changed from what I have on my timeline.  Do Widgets take precedence somehow?  Is there a way around this? 

  • Is there a way for F12 to pop up Widgets and not open apps?

    I'm a brand new Mac user with a MacBook. Before I bring up my Widgets I like to clear the screen by using the F11 button. But when I use F12 to bring up my Widgits, it also brings up any open programs behind it such as Safari. It's a little distracting. Is there a way to bring up just the Widgets and not the other apps? Thanks!

    Hi Tiffany:
    You are welcome.
    Ask again, if you have questions.
    IMHO, these are the best on-line forums anywhere - and everyone is a volunteer!
    I have a little boat that I use to float Wintel boxes down to San Francisco Bay - I light them - it is sort of like a Viking funeral (chuckle).
    You will find that even if you need to use a Wintel box in a business setting, you will quickly find that Macs (and OS X) are superior in every way (I do not work for Apple, by the by).

  • How to deploy Qaaws queries and Xcelsius in multi server architecture

    Hi Experts ,
    I have developed a very good looking dashboard which uses qaaws queries (Dev ) to get the data in to it . I have deployed these qaaws queries to another server (UAT ) using deploy option in Query as a Web service . But still the webservice URL pointing to my DEV server .
    Also , I saved my xcelsisu file to the BO platform (in DEV) and then I imported this file in to my UAT server using import wizard . Now I opened this xcelsius file in the UAT server . In datamanager , Still I can see my webservice URL's pointing to DEV server .
    How can I deploy Qaaws and Xcelsius in a mult server Architecture . We have different servers for each environment ( Dev, INT,UAT , PRD )
    Need some one help to getout of this problem .
    Please note that my output of Xcelsius is in PDF file .
    Many thanks in advance.

    There are several options, and an approach to make the QaaWS services environment independent
    1. When you use the QaaWS clinet builder and use the option to Copy to another server, you'll need to select the Advanced Parameters button on the 1st screen and change the server environment referernce.
    2. QaaWS services can be captured adn moved with the import wizard and Bair files.  You may want to  consider this option if you also want to capture adn contriol the QaaWS defintions for change,manangement, release management and source code control and rollback.  Moving to an new BusinessObjects environment  with Import wizard may require changnig the server environment reference with the AqqWS client connected to the target environement after it is moved.
    We have found an approach to make the QaaWS data connections in Xcelsius BO environment indendent and relatively referenced, so when you move Xcelsius dashboards sourced with QaaWS between BO environements you don't need to redefine the data connection in Xcelsius
    In Xcelsius data connections, after you paste the QaaWS WSDL on the definition tab, and import the Web Service URL field is populated with a full web service URL path http://BusinessObjectsServer/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
    We have found the after the import you can edit  the web service URL and remove the BO server reference at the beginning and start it with /dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice .
    Xcelsius dashboards in the BOE with QaaWS data connections still works to supply data to the dashboard.  When the dashboard run the BOE must assume that without an explict server reference, that it must be the current BO environment.  Another advantage of this approach is it avoids the need for a crossdomain.XML file on the BO web server.
