BPF with Xcelsius

Hi experts,
There is a document on the SDN describing how to build BPF dashboard with Xcelsius. However, the guide only includes the PDF document and not the required components (unlike the BPC data in Xcelsius guide).
Could someone point out where the complete 'BPF in Xcelsius' package can be found?
Thanks
Madis

Hi, I'm using v7.0 MS.
The document I was referring to is here: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10f3eb4f-f9d7-2b10-b5ba-f188b50098fb]. I guess this is also as limited as the data but it might be interesting to play with.

  • SSO doesn't work with Xcelsius using QAAWS, outside Infoview

    Hi,
    We have some xcelsius dashboards using QAAWS to retrieve data from database
    I would like to know whether SSO works with xcelsius dashboards using QAAWS outside infoview.Currently we get login screen to enter username/password.we are using Windows AD as the authentication type in the environment.

    You got it right. Within the InfoView, your Xcelsius-swf gets the CELogonToken as a parameter field to authenticate against the data for example. If you access another Xcelsius-Dashboard from within a swf you can even pass the LogonToken on.
    Using dashboard and QaaWS outside of InfoView, the user will have to enter username and password before the data is fetched. At least that is the way it works here.

  • Anyone aware of SPC Charting capabilities with xCelsius?

    I am very interested in being able to create SPC (Statistical Process Control) charts with xCelsius.  Anyone know of an add-on?  Anyone want to make an Add-on for xCelsius?
    SAP Lighthammer, now SAP XII, does a great job creating SPC charts.  But we want to move towards xCelsius yet SPC Charting is used heavily across all functions of the corporation.

    Hi, Jeff
    Check addon markeplace - https://information.ondemand.com/istore/#shopby=Marketplace/Xcelsius%20Add-Ons%20(All).
    If you don't find right component, you can contact me. I can give you a contact of my friend who is Adobe Flex developer.
    Maybe he will develop required component for you.

  • Setting up BusinessObjects Enterprise 3.1 for Single Sign On with Xcelsius

    Hi all
    Does anyone have any documentation and/or whitepapers that documents the setting up BusinessObjects Enterprise 3.1 for Single Sign On with Xcelsius Dashboards (xcelsius accessing BusinessObjects universe data through QAAWS and Live Office..
    Thank you for your help.
    Kind regards,

    Based on the replies in this thread I'm guessing that there is someone out there that has gotten SSO to work with Xcelsius? If so could you please post the details of how that was achieved?
    When we purchased Xcelsius we were under the impression that it supported SSO but have never been able to get it to work and finally had SAP tell us that Xcelsius did not support SSO.
    Our understanding is that in order to bypass a login for Xcelsius you have to use QaaWS as the datasource and hardcode an enterprise id and password.
    LiveOffice supports SSO but not when it's used as a datasource within Xcelsius.

  • Can Xcelsius Enterprise integrate w/ Sharepoint 2007 with Xcelsius Webparts

    Hi,
    Our organization is thinking about investing in Xcelsius Enterprise.  We have Crystal Reports 2008 and Sharepoint 2007 running.  Can Xcelsius enterprise connect to both and can I implement a realtime dashboard on Sharepoint 2007.  I'd like to create a dashboard in Xcelsius and publish it to Sharepoint 2007 as a swf file and have the flash object updated automatically.  Can someone confirm that Xcelsius enterprise will work?  Will it do it through webparts?  Also can I duplicate the same dashboard on Crystal Reports 2008 InfoView site?  The dashboard on Sharepoint would be mutlipaned and have some KPI's if I can set them up against the dashboard information.
    Thank for your help.

    Anyone?  I can't believe no one has tried this with Xcelsius Enterprise?

    to create dashboards with xcelsius is not a big issue, just you've to understand how u get the data from ur database , for the excel sheet its a primary thing that make the xcelsius dashboards work, for the other things its just a work arounds to let ur data come live
    like "Live Office" , or "Web Service" or "XML Data map",,,, etc
    based on ur business and ur available tools, you can use anything of them to get the data life to the Xcelsius dashboards, read the xcelsius developer guide from business objects thats may help you much around this issue

  • Slow runtime with Xcelsius

    Hi Experts,
    Happy new year~
    Here's my problem with Xcelsius enterprise 2008 runtime. I just use its embedded Excel as data source. For raw data part, there are about 3 worksheets, 1000+ rows in every sheet. As for formula, i use vlookup/If such easy funtions.
    but both in preview and exported file, it need to take 5+ sec to respond when clicking a button.
    Is this normal? Is there any better solution?
    Thank you all in advance.

  • Bpf with report bex with variable BPC Embedded 10.1

    Hi BPC Friends
    I am creating a BPF with BPC 10.1 Unified.
    I have attached at this BPF a BPC report based on a Bex Query with a variable for the company code.
    The driving dimension of the BPF  is  the company code so I have selected some company codes.
    I have created the BPF Istance and I have assigned at the different company codes the proper users as performers.
    The problem is this:
    The user run the bpf istance for its company but  the report having the variable for the company code allow to the user to select also a different company code.
    I was expecting that the variable for the company code was locked for the company code assigned to the user
    Thanks
    Michele

    Hi Michele
    In the above scenario, from what I was able to understand, you have defined a BPF, the activity within the BPF opens a workbook, the workbook is using a BEx query that has already been defined. The BEx query has a variable which prompts the user for values for company code.
    The authorization variable will populate the BEx company code variable with the values that the user has been allowed to see.
    For example: If the user has a BW analysis authorization that only allows them to see company code 1000, 1003. When the user executes the report in Analysis For Office, the prompt in the workbook should only display the values 1000 and 1003. (Meaning that the user only has access to 1000,1003 to choose from)
    I don't understand where the performer is a prompt?.
    The data access profile is typically used to restrict access to the data (restrict what you can see in your report). The BEx authorization variable will not be driven by the Data Access Profile, this will be driven by the BW Analysis Authorization. (I say this under possible correction)
    Do you want the prompt in the workbook to display the performer of the BPF activity ? If so, I don't understand the requirement or why you would want to achieve this.
    Please could you provide more context,
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards

  • 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.

  • Not getting URL for WSDL to integrate with Xcelsius

    Hi all,
    I want to integrate Xcelsius with SAP data (Xcelsius should use data source as SAP data). First I had created a Function Module and using that FM I created Web Service. But when I tried to open SOAMANAGER transaction for that Web Service , the URL needed for integrating SAP data with Xcelsius is not coming (showing blank). So I could not able to connect that Web service with Xcelsius.
    Can anyone please help me in this regard.. Any suggestion will be wellcomed..

    HI,
    which looks to me like an issue on the SAP Server side already so I would suggest you post the question into SOA area.

  • Needed trainer with Xcelsius experience

    I am in need of a trainer who can teach Crystal Reports and is also experienced with Xcelsius.  This is a one day class in the LA California area.  No dates have been set so let me know if you are interested and your available dates and rate.
    vmudd (at) technotraining (dot) net 
    Thank you.

    What you are asking for is indeed possible, but it may not be the most efficient way to achieve what I believe are your actual goals, and here is why:
    When you publish data to a website, you usually have to insert a lot of formatting code, which means that the actual content becomes mixed with what, from InDesign's point of view, is garbage, which means that you have to spend a lot of effort to clean it up.
    If, as I presume it true for a blog, the content is stored in a database, it is much, much better to retrieve the raw content, without the formatting "garbage", directly from the server. How to do that depends on your blog backend, but usually it involves making calls to some kind of API, or a server-side script that pulls the requested data.
    Once you have the data it is simply a matter of putting it into InDesign. If you are lucky enough to get the data as XML, then it is simply a matter of importing and styling, possibly with some xsl transformations.
    If you are really lucky, your blog backend may allow you to publish the content as XML/XHTM/RSS/ATOM etc, in which case there is no need for any specific server-side work, as you simple can pull the content directly through a regular http request.
    The point I am trying to make is that you should pick up the content before it is littered with "garbage", instead of trying to clean it up afterwards. That is what you do if you have to do it by hand, but you really should try not to replicate your manual workflow, but instead go for what is a good automated solution

  • User log in issue with Xcelsius SWF file

    HI,
    I am using the BI as source to  BO. Xcelsius dashboard is using webi data by live office.
    I have exported the xcelsius in  swf file &  ppt format.
    i am using the credentials user name, password  and authentication as SAP.
    I have the roles which are created in BI and imported to BO and the roles have users in BI , which came by default to BO.
    Now I have created the new users in BI with initial password. I cant login to infoview or swf until i change the initial password in BI and thn with new password i can log in to BO. I understood this concept.
    But confusing part is after changing to new password in BI, i can be able to log in to swf or PPT but not fetching latest data from data base.
    if i log on first into infoview , thn i can be able to log onto swf file or PPT correctly and access the latest data.
    If i directly access the ppt file , i get 'failed to get the document information. lo 26315". But if i login to infoview first then to swf or ppt i wont get any problem.
    The problem is,  users are access the dashboard file from ppt and pdf. So , is there any work around that, the new user can directly access the data from swf or ppt, without entering the infoview???

    Hi sapbi83 ,
    May i Know which connection you are using for fetching data into xcelsius, is it LO(Live Office) or Qaaws
    if it is Live Office  then what is the refresh property  set for live office object? and how many live office objects or how many qaaws connection u are using.?
    provide the answe of all the above question, i'll be able to help you and Infoview has nothing to do it with the real time data connectivity. the dashboard is completely dependent on the connections used to get data into the xcelsius, if the error is coming in PPT or PDF standalone then there is some issue with the connection used in xcelsius, just let me know the answer of all the above questions.

  • Authentication issue with Xcelsius/Portal integration

    I am facing an issue with the way we have integrated our Xcelsius dashboard with our corporate portal. I know this probably is more of a SDK question than Administration, but I figured I will ask it here anyway since Tim and some others are diverse enough in their knowledge base. This might be LONG post but please advise if anyone has any good pointers.
    We have an Xcelsius dashboard that needs to be served up via our corporate intranet (based on MS Sharepoint 2007). Now we are NOT using the MS Sharepoint Portal Integration Kit, but just doing a basic integration of the SWF call within a web part on Sharepoint. All this means is that within a portlet (web-part) on Sharepoint, I am making a HTTP call to the openDocument URL to invoke the SWF file. So the SWF is actually served up from our Tomcat App Server, and displayed onto this frame within the portal. That is the basic idea.
    To achieve this, what I did was write some custom code using the Java SDK to modify the openDocument a little bit. By doing so, I was able to insert some behind-the-scenes-login code wherein no matter who the portal user (Win AD-based) is, he is logged in to BOE as a generic "dashboard-user" and the dashboard is served up. This worked fine for the first dashboard where all we had was SWF and some WebI linking using openDocument (no full-InfoView access).
    But in this second dashboard now, what we also have is a hyperlink for users to get to InfoView to do Ad-hoc reporting. What this does is open a child browser window from within the portal (dashboard) --- and it remembers the BOE session for the generic user id "dashboard-user" and logs the end-user in to InfoView using that. But what I actually want is that the end-users, on this new window, should only be prompted at the traditional InfoView logon screen where they can manually enter their Windows AD password and get in. Thus, I would like to keep the dashboard SWF page session separate from the InfoView ad-hoc session, which I cannot seem to do because of the browser relationship and session maintenance.
    I am trying to find a way where I can simulate a single sign-on for dashboard viewers on the portal, but at the same time let them jump off to InfoView as themselves.
    Any thoughts on how I can do this?
    Notes:
    We DO NOT have Single Sign-On enabled for InfoView
    We are using Windows AD authentication (manual, no SSO)
    We are on Tomcat

    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    1) If the InfoView app on Tomcat (desktoplaunch) is configured with Vintela, openDocument calls from the portal with automatically work using behind the scenes SSO, correct?
    in XIR2 everything that falls under infoview should SSO when infoview is setup for SSO (not the case in XI 3.x)
    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    2) What is the best practice when it comes to the service accounts needed? I have implemented Windows AD manual auth already so I have a service account that use for that. Should I be using the same on and making vintela/SSO-specific changes to it...or should I have a separate vintela service account and deal with two different ones..each for a diff purpose?
    There is no best practice per se but the less service account the lower your chances to duplicate an SPN, functionally everything seems to work just as well with multiple as it does with 1 (of course with 1 there is less management work) If you click the SSO link in my forum sticky post I have a section explaining this with some suggested methods of deploying a service account(s)
    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    3) Other than some minor browser configurations that might be required, is there anything else that I should communicate to the team about what might be required to be "pushed" to users' PCs?
    Using the default config nothing should be required on the client machine (unless SSO has been disabled in the browser or you intend to use a url that contains a period ..... (i.e. FQDN or IP) with hostname URL (the default) it should just work.
    To note if you have XP SP2 or older there is a microsoft spnego bug you may need to apply a fix if you aren't patched to SP3 (about 5% of our customers run into this).

  • Language setting issue with Xcelsius 2008 - Web Service NW BI

    French language is set during Xcelsius installation.
    In Xcelsius, English is always set as the preference language.
    With Web Service NW BI, I get text data returned in French.
    English is also defined as  default language in SAP BW BI .
    I would like to get text data in English.
    I don't get this situation when executing the same dashboard in an another PC with only english installation.
    Can someone could explain to me how to solve this issue ?

    Hi Sana,
    You might be using Flex 3 sdk library files.
    Just check in Properies of your Flex project -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path .
    You might get the library files as Flex 3.*
    If it is the case then change it to Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3.
    now create a new project and compile your application and use the same swf.
    Otherwise try to import any existing Flex 2 project folder with compiler flex 2 ver. then try the same swf in your xcelsius application.

  • Error Opening Adobe PDF created with Xcelsius 2008

    I am using an SAP Product - Xcelsius 2008 to create a dashboard that I exported to PDF.  The document essentially contains a Flash SWF file embedded in the PDF.  I can open it up fine with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  Some of my colleagues can open it up using Adobe Reader.  Many recipients who have a older version of Adobe Acrobat get an error stating:  "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.  It may not open or display correctly.  Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version o four Acrobat products.  Please visit our product site at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat."  My question is, is there a way to resave the PDF file as an older, more compatible version for people who have Acrobat 8 or earlier versions?

    Version 8 should work, but not earlier, since they did not have an internal flash player.
