  • Create DVD with DVD Studio Pro with Flash Content

    I'd like to create a DVD that will run like usual on a DVD player and TV, but that could contain flash files that would run on a computer. Is there a way to do this?

    Another app is Sonic eDVD if you want to be able to launch files from the interface. Both have a lot of cons though... You can just add ROM data for the user to browse if you want to too.
    You can autorun the flash content if you want, so the user see's it on the PC and not the DVD-Video when the disc is put it,

  • Problem showing BI Publisher Report in Dashboard with Prompt

    Hi,
    I've created a BI Publisher report using BI Answer as data source. For getting some xml files for building the rtf Template I've set my filter datas to fixed values.
    I've created my dashboard with my BIP report and a query from BI Answer.
    All was shown correctly now. Now I've also implemented a prompt setting my filter datas.
    The BI Answer part is still shown correctly, but my BIP report shows the following error:
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
    What's wrong??? Please help ...
    Thanks
    chrissy

    I think I know why it is not working ...
    I've 7 BI Answer queries for getting all the required datas for my report.
    So I have 7 data sets which I've set to concatenated data-soruce in BI Publisher. Normally parameters and LOVs are disabled, when BI Answer is used for data set, but it isn't anymore when data source is concatenated and so don't use anymore my prompted values ...
    How can I use concatenated data source in BIP with prompted values???
    If this isn't possible I#m back to one of my other threads ...

  • Error when running Dashboard with BPC 10 Connection

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to preview my created Dashboard with BPC 10 Connection. Upon clicking Preview I encountered an "UnSupported Excel Function" error.
    When I clicked OK and tried to refresh my report, another error came up:
    Have you encountered these errors before?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Joana

    Hi Joana,
    Please refer knowledge base article 1741089 - Dashboard design error message: Unsupported Excel function EPMOlapMember - which says the same:
    Cause
    This is normal product behavior. Only native Excel functions which are
    supported by Xcelsius should be used for generating the dashboard.
    The embedded spreadsheet does not support all Excel functions. It does not
    support macros, conditional formatting, linking to other external spreadsheets,
    and some formula functions.
    Resolution
    Use only functions that are supported by Dashboard Design (Xcelsius).
    For a full list of supported functions, see the section Supported Excel
    functions in the Dashboards and Presentation Design User Guide available form http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_dashD_user_en.pdf.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

    Hi alli,
    I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
    I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
    When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
    The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
    My prompt is configured like this:
    - Choice List Values: SQL Results
    - Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
    - Set a variable: Presentation Variable
    Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
    Thanks in advance,
    Marko
    Edited by: markor on 14.3.2011 8:58

    How and where do you use the nqssetvalue() function.
    I tried it in several places but it doesn't work.
    Can you help me, please!
    Thanks

  • Query regarding connecting dashboards with SQL DATABASE using WSDT

    Hello Sir,
    I am trying to connect dashboards with Sql database via WSDT, but i have encountered the same problem as described in your SAP community blog (SAP Web Service Design Tool: From web service creation to Xcelsius consumption).
    when i tried connecting CR server with WSDT ,it still shows that total number of available licenses is 0.
    What can be done to solve this issue.
    for your detail reference, we are using CRS NUL version's 60 days Evaluation keys and same with Xcelsius Departmental edition.
    I would really appreciate, if you revert back to my mail as soon as possible

    Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? The regular ReportDocument SDK probably isn't robust enough to handle this, unless you create a connection using that connection string at design-time which you don't change at runtime. You might be able to add those properties using the in-proc RAS SDK, though. This is available with CRXI R2 as of SP2, and CR2008.

  • Selecting an object fails when creating a new dashboard using the 'New Dashboard and Widget Wizard'

    Hi,
    I am using SCOM 2012 SP1
    I have recently been experiencing an issue when trying to create a new dashboard using the wizard. I get to the step where you select a group or object to add to the  Scope and Counters section. When I try to search for a particular object such as a
    port or interface it times out and returns an error. The error is shown below:
    Please provide the following information to the support engineer if you have to contact Microsoft Help and Support :
    Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Presentation.DataAccess.DataAccessDataNotFoundException: Exception reading objects ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.UnknownDatabaseException: The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not
    produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer

    It appears to be complaining about internal resources, but we have not experienced this issue before and both the management and SQL servers have plenty of resource. The databases are held on a seperate dedicated sql server and I have noticed that when I
    try to search for the object, the sqlservr.exe process immediately consumes 50% CPU while the query is running. As soon as it ends (errors) the sqlservr process drops back to a reasonable number.
    No changes have been made to either the management server or sql server. We were able to create dashboards one day, but then recieved this error the next.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? or can anyone explain what is happening?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Asposted earlier,hadt he same problem
    when creating a Dashboard widget type
    State.
    Ones olution I found for this was as follows:
    When creating the State widget,the option
    to specify the criterion I left blank
    and finished the creation of the dashboard.
    With that managed to solve the problem.Of course this
    is not the solution, or the root cause
    of the problem.
    I will examine more about this issue, and sohave
    the ultimate solution and why such behavior,I post
    here.
    thank you

  • Dashboards with BICS connectivity and Infoview (BO4.0 Information Platform)

    Hello All,
    I have worked on Xcelsius 2008 with BICS connectivity to consume BEX Queries,
    and I'm aware that its not possible to export BICS based dashboards to BOE.
    But with the latest BO 4.0 release,
    I understand that BICS connectivity is inbuilt in BOE and we can consume BEX queries directly to create WEBI Reports.
    so my question is :
    in the latest version of Xcelsius ( Dashboards ),
    is it possible to Export Dashboards based on BICS to BO Information platform (4.0)???
    or is it still published in BW server only like the earlier (2008) version??
    To be able to create BEX based dashboards published on Info platform ,
    is QAAWS/Liveoffice still the only available possibility???
    Appreciate the help ,
    as we need to propose high level architecture to a customer who want to use Information platform as report
    delivery tool, and use BW as backend.
    Thanks and regards,
    Vinay
    Thanks and regards,
    Vinay

    Hello Tracy,
    Thanks a ton for the response.
    But in our case the customer does not plan to have Enterprise portal integration.
    So to be able to Deploy dashboards directly to Infoview from BEx query,will the below architecture work?
    1.Creating WEBI (4.0) document from BEX Directly  ( new functionality with 4.0)
    2.Create BI web service or Live office document
    3.Consume the same from Xcelsius and deploy into BOE.
    This will internally use BICS as it is internally used to create WEBI docu in 4.0.
    Let us know if there are any limitations with this architecture.
    Thanks and regards,
    Vinay

  • Dynamic Dashboard with Filters (Cascading )

    I have a static dashboard with 3 filters (Cascading) -. Country , State and City .  "All" functionality( for all filters) works fine in static mode. I am using Filter summary add on component for Cascading technique.
    1) Right now , I am planning to make this dashboard as Dynamic and I am confused, whether I need to use QAAWS or Live office to achieve this. Or can we use a combination of these too ?.
    2) Do we need to get the "All" value from Universe, If we are using Live Office  ?  or Can we  hard code the  "All"  value in Excel itself?
    I am bringing very detail level data in to this dash board. Can i get some samples ?

    Hi Ajish,
    To answer your questions
    1) You can use either QAAWS or Live Office to achieve the initial load of your cascading selectors.
    Note that if you use Live Office, you can schedule the initial load of your selector items so that it doesn't have to query the database.
    However if all your other connections are created using QaaWS, you may want to have it load using QaaWS for consistency. Since the query to grab the cascading list of items should be quite quick anyways.
    2) Getting "ALL" from the universe or hardcoding it in Excel are both achievable.  In my opinion it's easier to do it in Excel because you don't have to modify or do anything to the query that retrieves the cascading selector values.
    If you need help on "how" to do it in Excel, just let me know.
    Just a tip: The simplest way to filter the query afterwards with "ALL" is to create a filter object in the Universe like this
    Note that this is just pseudocode
    (prompt("Country")="ALL") or (prompt("Country")=databaseTable.Country)
    If you are using Live Office, you can do this in WEBI as well.
    Cheers

  • Dashboards with Webi Live office Objects issues

    Hi All,
    I have created a dashboard (Dashboards 4.1 SP4) connecting to webi crosstab tables which in turn sources data from Bex queries (version of SAP BW 7.1 SP5) . Initially I published the crosstab data as BI web Services and consumed these as query as web service within the Dashboards. But datasets have variable columns and changes on data refresh everyday. Therefore, I decided to use Live office connections to automate the dashboard.
    As number of posts suggested, firstly, I created Live office connections for the webi queries to pull the data into excel model spreadsheet. I have created 26 live office connections in total and everything works fine until this step. Re-opening the excel document refreshes the live office connections. When I import the same excel spreadsheet into the dashboard, the import operation is running forever and then Dashboards stops responding. I would have to close the Dashboard using task manager.
    To test, I tried creating the live office objects within the dashboard spreadsheet and it creates the connections fine. I do not create the live office connections through Data -->Connections--> Live office connections. I go ahead and publish the dashboard onto the portal and it gets published successfully. If I re-open the dashboard, the connections I created would have disappeared.
    Also,when I create the live office connections on the dashboards Data -->Connections tab and try to publish the dashboard, it publishes forever. The generating swf window was running until I came the next morning which means that it does not publish to the BO portal. I am not sure what else I could try to get this working.
    I have created OLAP connections to the Bex cubes and created webi reports using these connections. I am not sure if OLAP connections would be a problem. To test it, I created relational Universe using UDT tool and created a webi report on top of it to test and tried importing the excel with live office connection to dashboards, but it gets stuck forever.
    Could anyone advise me on any of the missing steps or something else to try to get this working?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Rohini.

    Hi Preetesh,
    The excel takes less than a minute to refresh all the datasets when refreshed from outside dashboards. I also do not think this is a performance issue.
    Today I tried importing the excel with live office connections on a different desktop with Dashboards 4.1 SP5 and it got imported instantly. The machine I was trying had Dashboards 4.0 SP6 base version and was updated with 4.1 SP4. I suspected the install might be corrupted and re-installed Dashboards 4.1 SP4 after uninstalling all the versions. The excel got imported instantly and I could see all the Live office connections and got refreshed on document open as well. I saved it to the BO platform without setting up Live Office connections through Data Manager and it got published successfully.
    I closed the Dashboard and re-opened it later and setup the Live Office connections and tried publishing on the BO Portal, its running forever with Generating Swf window. Not sure what is going wrong. In the task manager, I do see two excel processes running which I think is one of dashboard and one of Live office.
    Thanks,
    Rohini.

  • How to create a static dashboard bookmark?

    Hi guys,
    i want to provide a link to access dashboard page from another application. i made the bookmark link and work! The problem is that if i make some changes, on the dashboard page provided with bookmark, the dashboard page is not accessible using old bookmark. I have to create another new bookmark link. Is possible to have a static bookmark link to make changes on the dashboard without generate a new bookmark?
    Thanks a lot
    best regards
    Antonio

    Antonio,
    Why don't you try creating two identical dashboard pages in which dashboard page 1 is always static and use it as book mark link page.
    Dashboard page 2 becomes your non-book mark link page, where you can apply your changes.
    I hope the dashboard link object also doesn't provide you a static link as it provides a link to the location rather than link to content.
    Did you try researching if it is possible through BI publisher ?

  • Can't view dashboard with relative url in BI 4 Launchpad

    I created a dashboard using BIWS connections and I am able to preview the dashboard when i have the full path of Web Service URL but when I use the relative url and publish to launchpad I get the "Cannot access external data......, Unable to load URL:/dswsbobje/Services/Session..." error message. Any ideas on how to solve this?
    Thanks

    Are you trying to preview the dashboard from dashboard designer tool ?  If yes, then you must have a full web service url, otherwise, it will not be able to resolve the server and port.
    But, if you use relative URL and export the same to BO repository, you will be able to view the same by logging into BI Launchpad. There it can resolve the server name and port from existing session.
