BO 4.0 Webi + BW connection + publications

We are starting to roll out 4.0 and I am trying to publish a Webi using the publsihing functions. I have a webi which contains 3 separate Bex queries all with a unique characteristic "Rep". The report is all reps with a filter control to limit what is viewed. I am trying to tie this a Rep Profile list of names so only a single Rep worth of data is delivered via PDF to an inbox. So far it fails to generate the query and run the report. Given this is not a universe and thus no profile targets can be defined, I am having little success at online documentation. Any adivce here? Profile values link directly to filter values? when defined in the publication? I have tried the Rep Name ie Joe Smith ..also "Joe Smith" also ="Joe Smith"
what am I missing here?
I am a newbie for sure...
thanks
jim

Just to close this out... found the following..:
Webi has 3 queries with 1 merged dimension. call it Name
In the Publication, set Query1.name to profile value..
set query2,name to profile value,,,set query3.name...
doesn't work
Set Query1.name alone...works fine.
Personalization doesnt appear to know how to handle merged dimensions well.
It also has a problem if the Webi has a Report Filter of Name on it when saved and used in the Publication.
To get around the large size of this report, I saved and view as structure only, place a report filter on it, refresh with data and view...but don't save so the Webi used is without a filter.
Publications in general I am finding very dicey..any changes..I end up deleting and making a new one with the new parameters.
but hey...I got it working...

"Unable to load URL" - SQL Server 2005 DB Web Service Connection

Hi ,
I am using XCelsius version 5.0.0.99 to create dashboards connecting to SQL Server 2005.
Find below the details of the steps -
1. Created a web service within SQL Server 2005 database.
2. Copied the WSDL URL.
3. In XCelsius 2008 -> Data Manager -> Web Service Connection, pasted the URL in the WSDL URL input box and clicked "Import" to import the methods. At this point I am getting "Unable to load URL" .
Am I missing any step ?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Note : I have tested the web service by using it in a ASP.Net project and works fine.
Thanks
Chitra

Hi,
Error :unable to Load URL occurs" because Crystal xcelsius only support single schema web service created from Query as a web service and Flynet tool available in xcelsius 2008.
The reason:
All the web service create from Sql 2005 ,PHP script produced multiple scehma web service and crystal xcelsius only support single schema web service which can be created from Query as a web service or Flynet.
Please revert in case of any queries.

WEB AS connection failed

Hi,
i have logon method in User management as SAPLOGON (since we have same userids in Portal as well as in BW systems) and issued the necessary parameters for WEB AS connection as :
WAS Description BW Development
WAS Host Name IP address:8000
WAS Path /sap/bw/bex
WAS Protocol http
Also gave the all necessary values in connector property.
Now if i go to Display - > Connection Test and select the following :
SAP Web AS Connection
Connection Test for Connectors
it is giving the following result:
Results
SAP Web AS Connection - Jan 1, 1970 7:27:40 PM
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Check that the system object defines an SAP system
2. Validate the following parameters: wap.WAS.protocol; wap.WAS.hostname
3. Check the HTTP/S connection to the defined backend application
Results
1. The system object represents an SAP system.
2. The following parameters are valid: wap.WAS.protocol (http) ; wap.WAS.hostname (ip address:8000)
3. HTTP/S connection failed. Make sure the protocol, host name, and user mapping are correctly defined.

Even though we dont want to do user mapping (we have similar userids in both ends as mentioned early), i went ahead and did that also, but still WEB AS is failing with above mentioned error.
Is there any specific patch level need to be there for BASIS or J2EE etc... we have BW 3.5(web as 640- ABAP System), EP 6.0 Patch 9.
Thanks

Hi ,
I have had this problem before . Even though you still got a failure while the connection test , actually whrn you use the system object it works .Pls chaeck all the your parameter are right before you use this object .
Thanks

Mapping input values for a web service connection to a range of cells

I've created a web service connection in Xcelsius data manager. My web service requires an array of integer as input parameter. How do I map input values for a web service connection to read from a range of cells in the spreadsheet, e.g. $A$2:$A$20, in similar way of mapping output values to write to a range of cells in the spreadsheet?
For output values of the web service, I can specify to map the output values to write to a range of cells. However, it doesn't seem to work for reading the input values.
I can map input values for each node to a single cell, e.g. $A$2, in the spreadsheet. However, when I set the "Read From" field to a range of cells, e.g. $A$2:$A$20, it only reads in the first value in the range.
Is there any way that we can do this mapping for input values as we do for output values?
Your assistance is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Van

Van,
There is a workaround for that...
Example:
My Webservice accepts input data range in a specific format with " :" symbol, i.e. 072008:082008
Now what i do is
A1 = 072008
A2 = 082008
A3 = CONCATENATE(A1,":",A2)
so A3 = 072008:082008
Now i map the input value in web service to cell A3
P.S have 2 input box components and map it to cells A1 and A2, i.e you are giving users an option to enter the range of values...then web service will capture the range and refreshes data with the range of values user entered.
hope this helps..

Difference beetween QAASW and Web Service Connections

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install a connection between Xcelsius and a QaaWS I created, but it doesn't work. In the list of the different connections available in the Xcelsius Connections Manager, the "QaaWS" connections doesn't appear. Instead of that I can choose the "Web Service Connections" type.
Do you think this little difference can't be the source of my big problem?
If not, do any of you would like to risk an explanation about this odd pheanomenom (which seems to belongs to the category of the surnatural things thats happens when I even try to undertake a slight complex task in my Business Objects environnment)
In advance , thanks a lot ( why "in advance"? Because I feel, I'll get an answer, as an old bohemian woman who's suddenly poped in my office today told me one you would light the darkness of my interrogations)
Bye bye !!

Hi Meryll,
As you have already noticed, invoking a QaaWS URL into the standard Web Service Connection will NOT fire, regardless if everything is configured correctly.
I would assume that this is by design due to the fact that QaaWS Web Services are fetching data out of a BOE server. As such, anything that has to do with BOE connectivity (LiveOffice, QaaWS, Open/Save/Import/Export to Enterprise) is only available in the Xcelsius 2008 Engage Enterprise edition.
Thanks.

Dynamic columns on output values for a Web Service connection

Hello,
I'm trying to create a web service connection that is similar in response to the XML data connection in that i don't want to fix the number of columns per row down in the WSDL. i.e. i want to create an array of columns:
<xsd:complexType name="XLRowDef">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="column" curashared:shortname="c" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
and for the user of the WSDL (the guy who will design the dashboard) to be able to fix and link the number of columns when he designs the dashboard. I was hoping the button would reveal itself in the "output values" box much like it does in the "input values" but no matter how i twist the xsd - no joy. I also tried just linking the column element to multiple excel columns but still fixes to the first column in the range. Can this result be achieved in Xcelsius short of using an XML data connection?
Regards,
Gilbert

Calculations in Xcelsius using data generated by a Web Service Connection

Hi,
I have set up a web service connection to pull in 4 columns of data: 1. CATEGORY 2. SUBCATEGORY 3. PRODUCT TYPE   4.#OFCALLS. There will be anywhere from 1 to 500 rows of data depending on day of week and time of day. The web service sorts the list by #OFCALLS descending. The OUTPUT VALUES of the web service connection are mapped to cells A19:D518.
Formulas in the spreadsheet take the Top 10 from the list and populate it to cells A4:D13. A formula in cell D15 sums the #OFCALLS for the entire web service connection output (A19:D518).
The data in A4:D15 is mapped to a spreadsheet table on my canvas.   When the report generates, the data from the TOP 10 of the web service connection populates properly, but the cell that should reflect the TOTAL#OFCALLS (D15) shows zero.
Is it not possible to do additional calculations in the spreadsheet based on data generated by the web service connection? A major difference between using an XML Map and a Web Service Connection is the XML Map actually populates the spreadsheet with the new data when it is refreshed. The Web Service connection data never actually appears in the spreadsheet itself, even though it updates to the appropriate vessel on the canvas.   This makes me think that no additional calculations can be done in the spreadsheet based on the web service connection data.
Can anyone tell me if that is correct? If so, then the web service connection would also have to pull in the TOTAL#OFCALLS along with the other data.   This would also seem to greatly limit what you could do with data generated by a web service connection, so I am hoping I am wrong and just don't understand how to do this.
Can anyone clarify this for me? If I failed to give any pertinent info let me know what it is, and I will update my post.
Thanks!

I have seen similar behavior as well. I have live data coming into Xcelsius from a data connection.
A supported Excel formula
=IF(ISBLANK(J2),I2,VALUE(TODAY()-J2))
is then applied to one of the columns to create an additional derived column.
Taking a snapshot of the data shows that the derived column is being populated, however the controls I've tried hooking up to the derived column (charts and labels) are always empty.
Information on whether this is supported would be appreciated.
Thank you,
David

Error with web services connection to B1 DI API

We are attempting to utilize the web services connection to SAP Business One and are running into difficulty. Below are the particulars:
-   We are attempting to make a web services connection to B1 using PHP on Linux.
-   We are able to establish a session, but not able to make a successful web services request.
-   The attempted action is to add a Business Partner
-   Error we are receiving:
SoapFault exception: Not Found in /var/www/test.php:83 Stack trace: #0 : SoapClient->__doRequest('__call('Add', Array) #2 /var/www/test.php(83): SoapClient->Add(Array) #3
-         We are also able make a successful web services request to the same B1 server using ASP from Windows.
-         Once we establish a session through PHP / Linux, the DI Server will not respond to either PHP or ASP on Windows
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Russell,
Since you are getting a "SoapFault Exception", you must be trying to use SOAP messaging. The DI API does not understand SOAP messages. You would need to use the DI Server (SDK Help has information on DI Server) for SOAP based messaging and in turn you may also want to look at the Business One Web Services (B1WS) tool that s located in the Tools section of the SAP Business One main page here on SDN.

Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Web Service Connection in Xcelsius 2008

I have recently upgraded from 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 and am having trouble getting the Web Service Connections set up correctly for my QaaWS.
I have 7 LiveOffice connections in a model that seem to all refresh on load fine and i have already set up a Web Service Connection that picks up the drill through path of what the user has clicked on and used them as input parameters to a QaaWS query.
I now need to add another Web Service Connection for another QaaWS and i get the following error message;
"Unable to Load URL"
I have checked the available QaaWS services using dswsbobje/qaawsservices and the 2 queries appear as i would expect.
I have checked the dsws.properties file and the user name and password are correct (which i would expect as teh 1st connections works in the Xcelsius model.
I have restarted the Tomcat server and CMS and this does not cure the problem.
I have even tried re-installing QaaWS.
I have installed SP1 fix 1 for 2008. I am currently using XIR2 SP2.
Can anyone help as sometimes this functionality works and sometimes it does not. The 2 queries i want to use point aty teh ssame database and BO Universe.

Hi Anthony,
You might check that type of the licence type of the user QaaWSPrincipal. I had a problem where the QaaWSPrincipal user was Concurrent Access License while my server was Named User only. Switching to Named User resolved the problem.
However, I am not sure that this is your issue as the you have one QaaWAS url working. YOu might want to check your URL is available
try
http://<name of server>:<Tomcat port number>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices
This contains a list of all URLs. Finally, you might look at importing the wsdl into other applications to see if the issue is Xcelsius or QaaWS related. You can copy to MS Office InfoPath with steps described below.

Web Service Connection on fresh SUM formula is zero

I am using Xcelsius SP1. I have a field in the spreadsheet that has the formula "=SUM(H12:H16)". I am using a Web Service Connection to refresh the data. Following a refresh from the web service connection the field with the SUM formula is 0. I have discovered that ff the values in SUM range (in my case H12:H16) are identical to the refrehsed data then the formulas results willl be 0. If one of the sum values is different from the original values then the sum formula works. Is this a bug? Is there a work around?

I had a problem with the data format after getting number-values from my web-service, because every number-value I got was not a number - it was a string.
so I had to convert all the data in Excel from string to number values. after that everything works fine for me.
you could try that out....

Web Service Connection Date Input Values Converted to Number

I am using a Web Service Connection that has an input value called 'ModifiedOn' that is a date type. The problem that I have is that instead of sending a date string like '2008-08-04' it sends a number '39665' as the input to the web service method instead. Is there a way to force a date string to be returned instead of the number?
Here is the XML that is being sent to the web service method from Xcelsius:

Hi Aaron,
You may want to try formatting the cell of "ModifiedOn" to a TEXT format instead of date to get yyyy/mm/dd formatting to appear.
It seems that Xcelsius automatically converts any type of date-specific formatting (as specified from Excel) to a date serial, which is what you are seeing here.
Hope that works.

Error in ADF Web Service Connection

When the Web Service did not require authentication to work without problem, the error arises when you need to login and use the "ADF Web Services Connection", is there some other way to log in using the Web Service proxy client directly?
Any help is welcome.
Regards.

Hi Shay.
I not use Web service data control, I use only Web Service proxy and the client class for populate data to view object programmatically.
However, in a test class do I have this:
public class WordPressCliente {
private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(WordPressCliente.class);
public WordPressCliente() {
super();
private DatosBlogsBndQSService getDatosBlogsBndQSService () {
Context ctx;
try {
ctx = ADFContext.getCurrent().getConnectionsContext();
WebServiceConnection wsc = (WebServiceConnection) ctx.lookup("DatosBlogsBndQSService");
System.out.println("wsc:"+wsc.toString());
DatosBlogsBndQSService proxy = wsc.getJaxWSPort(DatosBlogsBndQSService.class);
return proxy;
} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
private DatosBlogsPT getDatosBlogsPortClient() throws Exception {

System.setProperty("http.username", "atsistemas");
System.setProperty("http.password", "atsistemas2011");
DatosBlogsBndQSService integracionWordpress = new DatosBlogsBndQSService(url,qName);
DatosBlogsPT wordpressPT = integracionWordpress.getDatosBlogsBndQSPort();
if (ArchivoUtil.getInstance().getPropiedad("ws.integracion.wordpress.autenticacion").equals("true")) {
System.out.println("hay que validar el WS");
BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider)wordpressPT;
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, ArchivoUtil.getInstance().getPropiedad("ws.integracion.wordpress.usuario"));
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, ArchivoUtil.getInstance().getPropiedad("ws.integracion.wordpress.clave"));

return wordpressPT;

Web Service connection timeout

How to configure the web service connection timeout properties (eg. weblogic.wsee.transport.connection.timeout) in configuration files rather setting them at client's stub code?
Help is appreciated.

This might be due to following reasons.
Please check whether firewall exist between Pi and external system. If so check with network team weather port or connectivity is established between PI server and external system. This should be the main reason. Also check the target URL and see whether you can able to consume the webservice directly from Soapui without PI. If your workstation is within PI's landscape and you see the same timed out error, then the network connectivity is the issue. Ask them to enable the port.

Maximum no of Web service connections in xcelsius?

Hi,
How many maximum webservice connections can we have for a single xcelsius dashboard for different BW queries? I am using xcelsius enterprise 2008. Build number is 12,3,0,670.
Thanks in advance,
Shreesh.

Hello Shreesh,
I do not think there is any actual limitation on Xcelsius on the number of web service connections you can define.
You should rather consider performance & scalability, as under HTTP 1.1 there is at most two concurrent HTTP requests to be handled at the same time. Besides, this total number of web service connections should be scaled to the total number of concurrent users you expect playing with the dashboard vs. the performance of the application server(s) from which those web services will be deployed...
Hope that helps,
David.
