Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 Designer

There is a <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/cr2008_xcelsius/Default.asp" target="_blank">Special Offer</a> "For a limited time buy Crystal Reports 2008 for $495 USD and get Crystal Xcelsius Designer 4.5 for $295 USD (ordinary price $1,500 USD)". Now my question is, What is Crystal Xcelsius Designer? I can't find any product data sheet. I guess that Crystal Xcelsius Designer is the same as Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup Designer but with only One Developer License and One Viewer license? In other words, Crystal Xcelsius Designer is like Crystal Xcelsius Professional but with the Live data source connection? So the next question is, What is One Viewer License? Does that mean that if I show a Powerpoint presentation at a meeting, I can't Send that Powerpoint presentation to anyone, because they are not allowed to view it? Or how does this work? Thanks in advance Ola The <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/products/crystalxcelsius/default.asp" target="_blank">Crystal Xcelsius Designer 4.5 link</a> in the Special offer, has no information about What Crystal Xcelsius Designer 4.5 is. This <a href="http://www.infosol.com/business%20intelligence/solutions-xc_order.aspx" target="_blank">external link</a> is the best info I found.

Please see previous comment regarding licensing. Also, Crystal Xcelsius Designer has additional components and functionalities, as well as connectivity to Live Data sources, than Crystal Xcelsius Professional.

Hi,
Function modules are one element. There are no types. However sometimes an RFC enabled function module is referred to as RFC Function module, but really it is just a function module. Also BAPIs are function modules, but are usually referred to as just BAPI as opposed to BAPI Function module.
There is no different function module types , but calling the function module will be different.
check this function calls syntax
1. Calls a function module:
- CALL FUNCTION func.
2. Call a function module in a different mode (asynchronous Remote Function Call):
- CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname.
3. Call a function module in the update task:
- CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK.
4. Call a function module in a remote system (Remote Function Call, RFC ):
- CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION dest.
5. Asynchronous call to a function module with transactional processing (transactional Remote Function Call):
- CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
qRFC with output queue
6. Call a function module that can be activated in the context of enhancements:
- CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION func.

i need interview questions on webi, crystal, xcelsius
thanx in advance

Here's a few, please could you tell me how you would answer them:
Please can you summarise your experience in using BusinessObjects?
Please can you describe the most recent problem you have faced when designing an Xcelsius dashboard and how you overcame it?
What type of reports have you written and who were the recipients? What process did you use for putting them live?

Re-activate Crystal Xcelsius Serial Number

My Crystal Xcelsius Serial Number needs to be reactivated. Can someone help me with this? I need to get this taken care of quickly. Why isn't there a 1-800 number that I can call?

For serial numbers I would start with sales. They'll be able to figure out if there is a problem with your serial number.

For US it looks like the direct number is +1-800-877-2340

Making Your Own Map Component in crystal xcelsius
Although the Map components in Crystal Xcelsius are cool, your choice ofmaps is severely limited. This might leave you wondering how you can createyour own Map components in Crystal Xcelsius. Although there is no way totechnically make a Map component, you do have a workaround that you canuse to create interactivity based on your own maps.As an example, I created the dashboard in Figure 13-25 to report on popula-tion data for the five counties in Rhode Island. In this dashboard, movingyour mouse from county to county changes the data that displays.
Take a closer look at this dashboard to see that the map is nothing more thanan Image component that has a few Icon Selector components on top. Hereu2019show it works:1. Import an image of the map by adding an Image component onto yourdashboard and selecting the image using the Filename property, asshown in Figure 13-26.
2. Add Icon Selectors on each point in the map where you want interactivity.These icon selectors provide the hot spot areas on your map (seeFigure 13-27): that is, the areas that give you interactivity at run-time.
3. Expand the selectors to ensure that you optimize the hot spots on yourmap. (See Figure 13-28.)You can expand the Icon selectors by clicking on the bounding box han-dles and dragging them until the selector is the appropriate size andshape. Expanding the size of the selectors reduces the chance of hittingdead spots that donu2019t have interactivity at run-time.
At this point, the icon selectors can be given some functionality basedon some scenario, but thatu2019s not your focus here. The point is that afteryou configure the icon selectors with some functionality, you haveessentially added interactivity to your map.Time for smoke and mirrors.4. Make the icon selectors invisible so that only the map is showing bygoing to the Appearance tab and adjusting the Transparency propertyto 0, as shown in Figure 13-29.The final effect is a custom map that has interactivity.
Keep in mind that you can use this technique with any image; it doesnu2019t have tobe a map per se. For instance, you can use this technique with organizationalcharts, floor plans, park maps, and various types of diagrams. Incorporatingpictures into your dashboards in this way can help you add something extrato your dashboards.

Hiit is rather disappointing that one can not import maps into crystal xcelsius as this is my main operation, the alternative approach that you so in great detail, whilst it works is not sutable for the tasks I carryout. I have access to all the maps for our operations and some are quite detailed, however I cannot use them? becuase your programme cannot import them. Is there a tool or method that you guys use to get the maps in to crystal xcelsius that you would be willing to share, as I would hate to have to find an alternative product to do that job Thnx Sam

Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file... no upgrade 4.5 to 2008 :(

Anyone else having problems getting 4.5 files to open in 2008? I create a nice simple new xlf with a simple xls behind it and a just a grid component in 4.5, then try open the file in 2008 and i get... Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius.im on the following versions...Version 4.5Application Version 4.2.4.3File Version 1.1.0.2Version 2008Application Version 5.0.0.99Build Number 12,0,0,121 I'm hoping that this is just a version issue with what was on ESD... the help file seem to suggest upgrade is simple so would but good to here of folks having sucess - and if so what versions your on thanks!jez.

CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
well i hope thats the case... but its a bit strange that neither the beta versions i tested or this ESD version (its not very clear as to if its pre-release - nothing on the splashscreen/about to indicate its not the full thing) can open 4.5 files... suggests that the beta did not cover backward compatability which is a bit concerning :(hopefully im just missing something simple!from the help file in the '08 version i have here...Xcelsius supports the ability to import a visualization created
with Xcelsius 4.5. This import ability lets Xcelsius 4.5 customers upgrade their
existing visualizations to take advantage of the new features of Xcelsius 2008.
Backup your current XLF, JPEG, and external SWF files before upgrading your
visualization.
Note: Xcelsius 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 files cannot be
imported into Xcelsius 2008. To use these files in Xcelsius 2008 you must first
import them into Xcelsius 4.5, then import the files into Xcelsius 2008.

How to Use or Create XSD files in Crystal Reports XI R2 designer

Hi,
I have a crystal reports application which was developed using .Net crystal report designer, where XSD is used .
now we have to develop the same application using Crystal Reports XI R2 designer , here i could not find any option for creating or using XSD files , can you give any suggestions on that
regards,
kathyaini

Hi Kathayini,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
We can use the existing XSD which are present in .Net
But with current versions of crystal we doesn't have the feature to create XSD files at crystal designer level.
So, it is suggested to use the XSD files which are present in .Net and can also create new XSD files.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Regards,
Naveen.

Crystal Xcelsius - Design suggestion

 from OLA:
I need some hints how to design a chart in a clever way. Have a look at this link. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u110/Olasa/M2000Simulator.swf The Excel logic is there but the design is terrible. You can test to change the numbers and see the graf move. I'm looking for something like Andy Pope's Charts with variable width bars. http://www.andypope.info/charts/colwidth2.htm AfaIk, no chart can do this. But there may be other ways? //Ola 

Hi Ola,
I appears as if you are trying to display data with two parameters. The column chart only displays one parameter and there is currently no way to dynamically set a column's width in a column chart.
I would suggest looking at a multi-parameter chart such as the XY or Bubble chart.
Good luck.

Can not see two fields in Crystal 2008 Developer explorer/designer view

I am currently developing crystal 2008 reports against the salesforce.com database using version 12.0.0.683 CR Developer Full version. I am using an updated driver that was provided in July or Aug 08 in order to view self referencing fields. The problem is that when I try and report against one of the tables (lead history) I cannot view two of the fields (New Value and Old Value)? I can see these two field (New Value and Old Value) in the database expert as the last two fields in the actual table, but the two fields are missing when I go into the explorer/designer view. In Salesforce, these two fields can not be filtered on, but I can export all the values in this table using Salesforece Apex data loader.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the OnDemand Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

How can we Use SAP BI in Crystal Xcelsius
