Calendar Day format (Xcelsius dash with LO prompts connected to SAP-BW)

Hi guys.
I built a dashboard using Xcelsius 2008 with a few LiveOffice prompts. Some are optional and these don't cause any issues, the only one causing problems is one of the two compulsory ones (the other is related to Calendar Month).
The BW query connected to the universe on which the WebI query have been built has two variable selections: the first on Calendar Month, the second on Calendar Day. I haven't been able to find a way to pass Calendar Day data to the query.
When I launch it from WebIntelligence, I select the value from a "calendar". This is the way it is displayed: "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM". When I select a value from this calendar and I launch the query, results are displayed in the proper way.
I added the query to an Excel file that I've subsequently imported into Xcelsius. As I said before every other prompt works perfectly, the only one not working is the Calendar Day prompt. I tried passing this date in several ways, but I receive the message "Invalid format (LO 26000)".
These ways include:
- dd/mm/yyyy [0CALDAY].[AAAAMMDD]
- dd.mm.yyyy
- dd/mm/yyyy
- yyyymmdd
- ddmmyyyy
Did anyone have ideas on how to pass these data in a proper way to the LO prompt from Xcelsius?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Kevin, we decided to scrap the "Calendar Day" use because we didn't find a solution to pass the data from Xcelsius to BW.
There's still an issue. This seemed to work before but now it's not working anymore. We also have a Calendar Month variable. When Live Office creates a prompt on the Excel document, the variable is displayed like this (for instance, NOV 2009 [0CALMONTH].[200911]).
To avoid problems with keys, I've also created a separate query containing a Month list of values and the string to be passed to BW is created putting together the informal name (NOV 2009) and the unique name ( [CALMONTH].[200911]). When I insert this time prompt in the Xcelsius document, I receive the LO26315 message. If I remove it (I've got other six prompts, none of them related to a date), everything works fine.
Anyone ever had to pass a similar value from Xcelsius to BW?

  • Automatic Refresh of Xcelsius dashboard with Live Office connection

    Hi,
    I have an Xcelsius dashbaord which has Live Office connectivity to universe query. Universe is build on a Bex query. Now, I need to auto refresh my dashboard say every 15 seconds.
    Under 'Data > Connection' menu, I could find 'Refresh every' option for refreshing the dashboard at specified interval. However, it doesn't seem to work. Also, the user guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 indicates that this auto refresh is only for  QaaWS, Web Services, and XML Data connections only.
    Can someone let me know if this is still the case? Is it possible to have auto refresh for LO connection ? If not, what is the best alternative? I believe QaaWS would work.
    Thanks,
    Bhargav

    Well its still possible to refresh LO connection every 15second. You can use play selector which counts 0-15. Then bind your LO connection refresh option to Play Selector's destination, make it When value becomes 15.

  • 'Average Weighted with Calendar Days' in Exception Aggregation

    Dear specialists,
    I have created a query with a lot of calculated keyfigures.
    One of my calculated keyfigures shows percentage values.
    When I select a calendar day, my report shows correct results
    for the percentage values.
    But when I execute the report without selecting a calendar day,
    I get strange results like 3,21 % instead of 97,49 %.
    There is a new functionality with version 7.0, where we can set
    Aggregation properties like 'Average Weighted with Calendar Days' .
    But when I select this with Ref. characteristic 'calendar day',
    my report does not show any value or any result.
    Are there any other properties to set in Aggregation or Calculations.
    Please give me more information about this issue
    regards Osman Akuzun

    Hi,
           When you define an Exception aggregation on number of work days. There might be some reference characteristic defined in your Bex.
    For exmaple, take a scenario like below. Your BW data is like below
    0Employee           StockIssued
    XXX                            50                                
    XXX                            10              
    YYY                           20              
    YYY                            30             
    YYY                            40             
    ZZZ                            50              
    ZZZ                            100            
    ZZZ                            30              
    Suppose the first row which has values like XXX and 50 is not a working day and remaining all are working days then the exception aggregation applied using AV2 on the characteristic  0Employee will be caluclated in your Report as below
    For XXX, it will       10/1 = 10 (because only 1 working day for the employee XXX)
    For YYY, it will       90/3 = 30 (because all  3  are working days for the employee YYY)
    For ZZZ, it will       180/3 = 60 (because  all  3  are working days for the employee ZZZ)
    This is how the exception aggregation works. Try to see the similar kind of example in your system and try to relate in the same lines explained by me. You can understand.
    Regards
    Sunil

  • Calendar frozen on Macbook Pro with Yosemite

    Hi
    When trying to sync calendars on my Macbook Pro with iPhone 4S, calendars has frozen with message "Moving calendars to server account". I have to force quit to get out. Syncing had been working fine until 2 days ago. All settings on Macbook and phone are correct.
    Any suggestions?
    Adrian

    Quit Calendar and also the Reminders application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data.
    In the iCloud preference pane, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders. You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to delete your iCloud calendars and reminders from the computer. They'll still be on iCloud.
    Relaunch Calendar and select
              Calendar ▹ Preferences... ▹ Accounts
    Click the plus-sign button at the bottom of the account list on the left (which may now be empty) to add a new account. Select iCloud and enter your credentials. Your iCloud calendars should appear after a brief delay.
    Do the same with Reminders.

  • Calendar Day Link

    I've created a link on calendar days that goes to another page in the application with a form. This form has a date field, and I'd like the date field to be populated with the date that was selected from the calendar page that activated the link.
    For example, you've got the month of January and a day of 18 with nothing in the day box (no other displayed items or rows) except for the little number 18 itself.
    I can create a day link so that when you click on the 18 it takes you to some other page. But how do I get it (what application variable or substitution string do I reference) so that, on this other page, I can set a text field to have a date of January 18, 2005?
    The create calendar wizard created a page item called P_CALENDAR_DATE. However, this is consistently the current date (the date the calendar uses as a base). But is there a way to reference the date that is clicked?

    I couldn't get the #MY_COLUMN# method to work for me - I must have been doing something stoopid!
    However, the #YYYY##MM##DD# method certainly did work (although I changed the date format to #DD#/#MM#/#YYYY# to match the format of the field receiving this value).
    Many thanks for this tip

  • My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

    Hi,
    For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
    The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
    Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
    Anyone out there got any suggestions???

    First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone.  If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again.  (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

  • In iCal, what is the little balloon on the side of some calendar days?

    I'm using iCal Version 3.0.5 (1270). On some of my calendar pages, a tiny balloon has appeared in the column where the times of the day are listed, with a horizontal line extending to the right from the balloon across the calendar page. Nothing happens when I click, or double click, on the balloon. What is it?
    Thanks!

    Leslie,
    When displaying iCal in the "Day," or "Week" view with "Today" selected, the "balloon" (and attached line) represents the current time of day.

  • How to get highest number of open cursors within the current calendar day

    Hi all ,
    i need to know how to get the highest number of open cursors within the current calendar day.
    Thanks ,

    the issue is my customer is getting the error ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded and we need an sql statment that gets the following values :
    -highest number of open cursors experienced in the current calendar day.
    -current open cursors
    -and maximum open cursorsThis error is rare. It happens when
    a) the value of the open cursor parameter is set extremly low (default is something like 1000). Low would be something like 10.
    b) <strike>you have many concurrent users(=sessions) and </strike>the application does not use bind values
    In this case each select will open a new cursor, instead of reusing it.
    c) you have a select that opens a cursor for each line. This can happen with a statement where you have the CURSOR keyword somewhere in the select or where clause. Those cursors will be closed when the select is finished. But during the run time of the select, all cursors stay open.
    To track the number of "open cursors" during the day you would need to implement some monitoring. Maybe based on the view that was already mentioned.
    Edited by: Sven W. on May 16, 2011 2:30 PM - since the parameter is on session level, other open cursors should not influence it much.

  • In a query, how to display the calendar day and the weekday in the heading

    Hi Experts,
    I am in a situation where I need to have calendar day and the weekday in a heading of a column in a query? we are in BW 3.5.
    Here is an example:
                         04.22.2007
                         Sun
    Branch 001      1,000.00
    Branch 002      2,000.00
    Branch 003      3,000.00
    in my query, this is a restricted key figure with sales qty and calendar day and I have a text variable to show the calendar day. In addition to that, the customer wants weekday as well.
    Not sure how to do this.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Jenny.

    Hello ,
          This InfoObject do not maintain the weekday ...so it is difficult to show the Weekday for a date as per the standard way.
              You need to write a Customer exit variable..and you need to use a Function Module : DATE_TO_DAY. This will convert your date to day ie 23.04.2007 = Monday.
          Note: This function module is not available in BW so try to copy this FM from R/3 system.
          I am sure this will solve ur issue:-)
