Deploy Live Office XI 3.1 on Websphere 6.1

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with Live Office XI 3.1 on a system that uses a Websphere 6.1 AS.
If I point (from connect panel of LiveOffice) to the default Tomcat AS I'm able to use LiveOffice and connect to enterprise (BOE XI3.1) but, if I use Websphere I can't connect to the system.
What I have to do?
I use predeploy and then I manually deploy all Webapps inside WebSphere.
All WebApps in WebSphere are flagged as started.
Thanks!
Bye
Andrea

First of all, thanks for the reply.
Actually I use inside the options of LiveOffice this path:
http://server:9080/dswsbobje/services/session
and it doesn't work.
If I try to reach that URL from my browser, I'm able to see the page.
So what you suggest is to open the war file and then modify the path?
Consider that we have installed BOE on the same machine of WebSphere.
Cheers
Andrea

Xcelsius, Live Office, and Crystal Reports Migration Problem

Hi Experts,
I have a problem when migrating Xcelsius dashboards from dev environment to production environment. In my dev environment, I have Crystal Reports which are published from BW dev environment and Xcelsius dashboards consuming the data in these Crystal Reports.
When I try to migrate from dev environment to production environment, I first transport Crystal Reports from BW dev environment to BW production environment and publish them to BOE production environment from BW production environment. Then I use Import Wizard to migrate Xcelsius dashboards from BOE dev environment to BOE production environment. But this way, the live office connections inside the Xcelsius dashboards break because the underlying Crystal Reports cannot be found.
The other option I can think of is migrating Crystal Reports using Import Wizard rather than transporting them to BW production environment and publishing them to BOE production environment from there. After the migration using Import Wizard, modify the database connection of these reports in CMC. I usually do this for Crystal Reports connecting other data source than BW. I haven't tried this with BW reports yet, because I think publishing is the right way to do it.
I'm on BO Edge 3.0, Crystal Reports 2008 V0, and Xcelisus 2008 SP1. And I don't have much upgrade options. Currently, I can only upgrade to BO Edge 3.1 and I don't think that makes any difference.
So how do you migrating Xcelsius dashboards, connecting to BW Crystal Reports via Live Office connection?
Thanks,
Robin

Edge 3.1 has quite a few bug fixes over 3.0 and then I believe you would want CR2008 SP1. But without upgrading anything BO products usually link information via unique identifiers such as the SI_CUID, If you use the IW for everything this is sure to be preserved. If not then I do not know but a good possibility from your symptoms is the CR SI_CUID may have been changed by the way you migrated it. If you are unable to make progress you may consider opening an incident with the BO deployment team but if it's a bug you will need to upgrade to 3.1.

Tim

Live Office and QaaWS on IIS. Is it posible?

Hi,
I've been told that Live Office does not work on IIS in release BO XI R2 SP3.
Anybody knows if it will posible in next releases like XI 3.0?
Thank you in advance.
gaota

Hello Gaota,
The Live Office component connects to BusinessObjects Enterprise using the BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Services Provider. The Provider for XI Release 2 and XI 3.0 are Java-based, and must be deployed on a Java Web Application Server.
The Provider for the next Service Pack for BusinessObjects Enterprise will remain Java-based.
Sincerely,

Live office Import wizard Hangs

Hi all, I have searched a lot on google and this forum too, however i am not able to solve my problem..
Problem: Whenever i click on any webi from webi list in Liveoffice import wizard, wizard hangs for few minutes and then gives some error . most of the times LO 99999. I have reinstalled LO, Xcelsius but nothing is helping........i am not able to import any object in my spreadsheet.
if any one have faced same problem pls hlp me.

Hi Sambhavjain,
I saw something similar with a customer who had upgraded from SP3 to SP4 and this issue was introduced.
It seems to be a regression with SP4, or it is caused by the upgrade maybe affecting the war file deployment.
This is also another possibility, in which case you could try redeploying the war files - that may help.
If the problem persists following those steps, then I would advise that you trace the workflow and perhaps raise an SAP Support message so a Live Office engineer can investigate further.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Data not updated in the excel while using Live office

Hi all,
I have a Trial balance Crystal report in BOE and have created a Live Office document connecting that report. Now I've imported that document to the Xcelsius environment.
In Xcelsius a Filter component having the YTD values as the Labels and its destination is bound to the cell having input to the Crystal report of the Live Office document. Now in the Preview mode when I change the select the year its corresponding data should be displayed in the Chart but unfortunately that's not that case. But when I change the year in Non Preview mode
the data is getting updated.
What could the error ?
Thanks
John

Thanks Senthil, its working!!
But its taking lot of time for the data to get updated in the chart upon changing the year. Is there any way to speed up the process ?
Thanks
John

Why do i get a BOBJ prompt in xcelsius with my live office feed

dear all,
the situation ...
i have an excel document, with a live office feed. the data feed is assigned a specific user from the sap ecc backend system. i have this excel live office saved locally on my c drive. i can open it up, and hit the refresh button without any need to log on.
my question
why is it then, when i add this live office feed to my xcelsius dashboard, do the live office steps in xcelsius, and when i do a preview, it only wants me to authenticate myself, and pops up a prompt.
i would have thought, there would be no need !
anyone ?
cheers
g

hi amr
i realize to refresh a LiveOffice connection, from Excel or Xcelsius,,, you have to enter your user name and password.
and i also understand that, if you're not being asked for an authentication from the excel when you refresh the LiveOffice, that means your Credentials are saved into the excel itself, i mean into the "Application Options"
BUT,
when i use the same LO document inside xcelsius, it prompts me. note, i am not talking about enterprise here. nothing is saved on the BOBJ server side, it is all local to my c drive.
so in summary, when the live office is outside xcelsius, i can open, refresh and because the logon parameters are in the application options, i get the authentication hour glass, but with no prompt, and eventually i get my data.
however, when i add this to an xcelsius dashboard, and do a preview, i get an authentication prompt !! why ??
cheers

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

Live Office SP3.4/Office 2010 - Live Office objects disappear on conversion

I am testing Live Office XI 3.1 FP3.4 on a Windows 7 laptop with Office 2010 installed and have a question.
I take an Excel 2003 file (XLS) file that has Live Office connections and open it in Office 2010. Then I save as an XLSX file. While saving I get a message that states:
"The name, [1]_1_CRADDIN_DataGrid, either conflicts with a valid range reference of is invalid for Excel. The name has been replaced with 11__1_CRADDIN_DataGrid. You may still need to manually update any references to this name used in VBA code or as text arguements in functions. You must close and reopen the workbook before these changes take effect."
I complete the save then close and reopen the file. When I go check for my Live Office objects, they seem to have disappeared (meaning I right click on what used to be a Live Office object, but I no longer see Live Office on the popup menu).
Can't I convert my old data models to the new excel format? I am doing this because the XLF is taking a LONG time to open in Xcelsius 2008 SP4 with multiple server busy messages. I thought updating the Excel file might speed things up but since the Live Office objects are disappearing from my spreadsheet this is not working as expected.
If any pointers can be given that would be great. If I have missed any documenation that may help me out, please let me know. I checked the Live Office documentation and the highest thing for XI 3.1 I see is SP3, no FP3.4 (or even SP4).

How do I know if Office is 64 bit? If I go to the control panel, I see that "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010" is installed.
There are no named ranges in my sheet.

Format of numeric field cannot retain via Live Office

In Webi, I changed the format of an numeric field to 2 decimal places. When I retrieved this field to Excel via Live Office, I found the format of 2 decimal places cannot be retained. It ended up displayed in 1 decimal places.
I found when a webi report exported to Excel, the format can be retained.
Does anyone know if this is a product design or product issue? Thanks.
Regards,
Gloria

Hi Gloria,
I had a look at this in XI release 3.0 and received the same issue. The only way I could get this to work was to use the FormatNumber() method. This returns the value as a string, which live office represents with the trailing 0.
So if the cell value was 12345.6, then FormatNumber([my cell]; "#,##0.00") will display 12345.60. This will display correctly in Excel (except that it is justified as text) when brought in by live office.
This more of a work around than a fix, so you may want to raise a case.

Alan

How to configure Live Office Data with no Logon Prompt

Hi,
I am using Xcelsius with Live Office. Everything appears fine except that when I attempt to preview the dashboard using the Xclesius preview button I am being prompted with a logon screen. For my clients this will not be an acceptable solution and I need to find a way to create this dashboard without having a logon prompt appear.
I have done some research and it appears that using Flash Vars with a CelogonToken variable is the way to go. This is fine except that this solution requires that I either use the Variable to open a child swf or I have to embed the report in a .Net application and pass the value for the Flash Var using some c# or VB.net coding.
Ideally, I am looking for a way to pre set this password so that users can go straight to Infoview and view the dashboard.
I guess what I am really after is functionality similar to using a Web Service Connector which enalbes developers to fill in the password value as a part of the object and be done with it.
Does any one have any idea as to how this can be accomplished?
Thanks,
Ty

I want to set up a 'Guest' accountFine, but I recommend you use a different name, e.g. "visitor", not "guest".
If, under "Parental Controls" you select "Finder & System", then click "Configure", you can select "This user can only use these applications:" which gives you all the control you need. However, you may also need to check "Allow supporting programs" for some choices.

Generating a report in dashboard with live office connection(3.0 version) ?

Hi,
iam generating a report in dashboard with live office connection(3.0 version) but when iam trying to set parameters the refersh button & modify button are disable. how to overcome from this issue?
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra,
Confirm if you are getting the same issue outside Xcelsius i.e in the Microsoft Excel.
Try refreshing the Live office objects in MS excel using the option "Refresh all objects "and then import .xls it in Xcelsius.

Xcelsius and Live Office

Hi,
please can you help me about this?
How can I pass the last refreshed instance of a WebI report to a live office connection?
I need to schedule a WebI report, let's say everynight, and to use the last instance as a data source for a dashboard (via Live Office)
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Franzi,
This is actually the default behaviour I think. Have you read the manual?
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_lo_user_en.pdf
It explains it all quite well.
I'd highly recommend looking into BI Services as they're faster and easier to work with than Live Office. There's a comparison here: http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/live-office-vs-qaaws-vs-bi-services.html
Hope that helps.

Live office database errors in Citrix - underlying WebI reports work fine

Hi,
We have a live office report with 30 tabs in the excel file i.e. 30 webi report parts in it. It accesses 20 webi reports, each built on a BEX query.
Please see below the error which users get while running the report in Citrix environment. The underlying WebI report has no database errors, and we were able to run the Live Office reports at the same time on LAN. The Citirx users get these database/auth errors intermittently, on different tabs of the report at different times - the underlying BO reports are error free and users have proper rights to execute them.
"An error occured while opening the report. The report does not exist; youhave insufficient rights to open the report; or you cannot make a connection to the BusinessObjects Web Service. (LO 02010)
Failed to get the document information (LO 26315)
A database error occured. The database error text is: ...."
Please help.
Thanks,
Soumya

Hi,
BO Version is BO XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.1
Datasource - BEX queries BW Relese 701, support pack level 8
We have made users login to Infoview and checked that they are able to execute the WebI reports. Also, earlier they were able to run all reports, so there is no access problem.
These errors started occuring when we had to refersh BO Universes after some of the BEX queries changed. We even asked users to stop using the excel files on which they used to get errors, thinking the files may be corrupt. Then we sent them new files which we had successfully refershed at our end. But still they get these errors in their environment.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Soumya

Live Office error 02010

I'm building an Xcelisus dashboard using Live Office to access a Crystal Report as the data source, which in turn uses an SAP BW query to retrieve the data.
All has been working fine for many weeks, but suddenly I can no longer access a Crystal Report from Xcelsius. When I try to select a report I get this error:
An error occurred while opening the report. The report does not exist; you have insufficient rights to open the report; or you cannot make a connection to the BusinessObjects Web Service. (LO 02010)
I am able to view the report from Crystal Reports and from InfoView. Interestingly, I can no longer View any reports from CMC logged in as Administrator - I get a blank white window when I try.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Hello All,
It turns out the Live Office error 02010 was caused by the Report Application Server being disabled. Enabling it solved the problem. However I still have the problem where I can't View a Crystal Report in BOE - I just get a blank window and hourglass. I can work around this for now using InfoView, which works, but any suggestions to resolve the issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
