Downgrade from Xcelsius 2008 SP2 to SP1

Hi,
We are facing some problems with Xcelsius 2008 SP2 .So thought of downgrading it from SP2 to SP1 again.
Please let me know where to do this downgrading alone ....without losing Xcelsius 2008 SP1
Also please let us know if there are any thing that needs to be kept in mind during this downgrade process...
In our case as it is critical....need some help....
Thanks

Hi Shafi,
Have you considered the entire installation of Xcelsius 2008 then/with SP1.
I believe downgrading is not possible.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.

Execute command lines from Xcelsius 2008

Hello,
Is there any possible way to execute command lines from Xcelsius 2008 swf?
Thank you.

Hi,
You cannot call out to command-line from a Flash SWF, it is sandboxed so does not know how to do any of that.
One (complicated) option would be to write your own app to embed the SWF into, a real app can then call out to do whatever you want, then you just have to get the SWF to communicate with your app using External Interface, it would be a lot of work.

Unable to export to PowerPoint from Xcelsius 2008

Xcelsius 2008 does not export to Powerpoint, it doesn't do anything. I have clicked on the button to export and tried going to the File - Export to - . . . but nothing happens.
Please assist.

David,
I've read the Xcelsius2008_release_notes_en.pdf on the installation disc. (especially when going to Adobe's articles for Flash 8 & 9) A lot of reading, most of which I do not understand but get the jest of it. I must say that I do not think that this is the 'problem' here. I do not get any 'warnings' of any kind that it cannot do that function.
At first when I tried to export from Xcelsius 2008 into Powerpoint it would not do anything as you may recall. Then when I opened up the Task Manager it started working. (NOTE: when I hover my mouse icon over the export buttons in Xcelsius usually this pops up a bubble stating 'what' it would do if I click on the button. There are only two buttons where something displays when I hover my mouse and those are "Export to Outlook and Export to Business Objects Platform". None of the other buttons seem to have this bubble.
Now I am trying to export to Powerpoint again with another file and it opens Powerpoint but the screen is blank and there is no view slideshow option. It will however let me export to just a plain 'swf' format. Which is not acceptable for our purposes. My boss said I should UNINSTALL Xcelsius 2008 and REinstall it again.
Any solutions or ideas???????

Downgrade from SP3 to SP2 XP

Hello,
Can I downgrade from servise pack 3 to servis pack 2 in WinXP in workstation? If yes then how?
Many thanks for your Answer, prosek
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you update your SP2 system to SP3 and keep the backup files (that is by default), then you can easily downgrade by uninstalling SP3 from Add or Remove Programs in control panel.
Otherwise (upgrading to SP3 without backup or clean installing an SP3 integrated system) it is tricky, nearly MIP.

Xcelsius 2008 SP2 FP1

Ok, I seem to have blinked and missed this.
What does the Fix Pack 1 fix in SP2?
Thanks
Charles

The good people at EverthingXcelsius are on to it.

Hyper-V host server upgrade from Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre

We are about to upgrade our Hyper-V host servers from Server 2008R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to take advantage of the latest Hyper-V features.
This only concerns the host servers and not the guest VMs running on the hosts (they will be upgraded next year).
This is what is running on our host servers:
Host 1
File,print & issuing CA server
Exchange 2010
SharePoint 2010
Quickbooks server
Domain controller 1
Offline CRL CA
Host 2
SQL 2008
Forefront TMG 2010
Domain Controller 2
Windows 7 client
With this is mind, I have drafted a rough action plan as follows:
Create a list of all file locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Document all existing system settings
Gather server information, download drivers, RAID controller and other boot drivers & firmware updates (in case the in-place upgrade fails)
Test all software media
Copy all VMs onto external data storage (NAS drive)
As part of the upgrade process we will redistribute some hard drive space i.e.
expand them to their new sizes and verify the data integrity of copied VMs by powering up each VM in a test environment
Wipe and adjust the sizes of the host partitions to accommodate the expanded VMs
Perform an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Check EV, services etc
Change the default locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Upgrade Anti-virus and other system software
Test the system
Are there any glaring omissions? Does anyone have any tips they can give me?

Hi Marco,
always do a fresh Installation of your hyper-V Hosts, you could end up doing a lot of Troubleshooting with Drivers,Addons etc.. new Installation ist way faster.
Depending if you have a Cluster or Standalone Servers there are different ways to do it.
When you have installed your 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server you just can Import the VMs from the new Location.
As far as i know VMs with snapshots are not supported, so you have to remove them before doing that move and commit the changes to the vhd files, the VM need to be offline on 2008R2 to do that.
You do not Need to Export the VMs on 2008R2, just copy it, normaly you should have all Files of a VM in one Folder.
A working Backup is always your friend on such Tasks.
When the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2012R2 do not forget to Update the Integration Services.
Make Sure your Servers Hardware are still supported with 2012R2, see Server Catalog and Support Matrix of the Vendor.
And last one, where possible and supported convert the VHDs to VHDx Disks, after testing the first boot of the VM.

Parent/Child Issue in InfoView - XI 3.1 SP2 - Xcelsius 2008 SP2

I am trying to get the child SWF to display correctly in InfoView. It is loaded from a Parent SWF with a simple Slideshow Component and when loaded by itself in InfoView it display everything correctly and all components work. When loaded as a child in the Parent SWF using: documentDownload?&sKind=Flash&sRefresh=Y&sIDType=CUID&iDocID=5EqWlDIABNMnJowASQABGB5a3HkGbA
It loads, but only the selector shows the data, my gauges act as if nothing is tied to it, the toggle buttons do not do anything and the refresh connection button doesn't work either. I need to get this resolved ASAP. It is needed for Performance. I am not passing variables from Parent to Child either.

Unresolvable as it is in Infoview and not external.

Cannot generate AIR file when exporting from Xcelsius Engage 2008 SP1

Hi,
Xcelsius seems to go through the motions - "generating swf file" - but no AIR file actuallly lands in the specified folder in my c:\ drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SP! but the problem persists. I have the following already installed:
1) Flex SDK 3.1 and the file path to the root directory of the SDK is specified in the sdkPath.dat file.
2) Java version 1.6
3) Adobe AIR 1.1.
Many thanks
Michael

Hi - I'm having the same issue with generating an AIR package from Xcelsius 2008 SP1. My network environment is protected by a corporate firewall and proxy, so I suspect that there are internet resources that are not accessible. I tried generating an AIR file while connected to my home network, and it worked OK (although, I couldn't access the data feeds on my corporate network).
Is there a list of internet resources that Xcelsius needs to access to produce the AIR files?
Thanks

Powerpoint and Xcelsius 2008

Every time I create a PP from XCelsius 2008 (SP1,FP2) I get a message when closing PowerPoint;
This Program requires a missing Windows content, check for ......."
Even if I follow the instructions to check for the missing thing I can not figure out what it is that I miss.
I also want to know why I get a blank screen when creating a PP file from xcelsius. When using presentation mode the flash file appears correctly.
Please help[ me!!
Hans

Thanks Andy! This helps and it is not a big issue for me.
Can you look at my other question I posted related to display text labels. I posted it last week. I can see that many other users must have the same issue.
Thanks again.
Hans
The issue:
dashboards developed with XCelsius 2008 on a wide screen display hypertext correctly on a wide-screen display. However if the flash file is displayed on a regular (non-wide-screen) display the right most part of all hyper-text is displayed at the border line of a regular screen. This results in displaying the right data at a wrong position on a screen.
It is easy to create this situation:
Just display a dashboard in a reduced window and you will see that the label display changes positions on the right side of the screnn.

SAP Authentication issue in Xcelsius 2008 SP4

Ingo Can you help me?
Xcelsius 2008 SP4 Failed to Open/Save from BusinessObjects Enterprise and throws an error Failed While Trying to Logon User "0000" RFC error: "LOGON_DATA_INCOMPLETE" when using SAP Authentication.
It works perfect with Enterprise.
Recently we have upgraded from Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP 3.5 to Xcelsius 2008 SP4. It also displays the password without encrypting.
BOE 3.1 Sp3
Integration Kit SP3Fix Pack 3.2
SAP GUI 720
Xcelsius 2008 SP4
It was working good with SAP Authentication when using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3.5
Thanks
Dais

Hi,
As a starting point, i would strongly recommend you standardise all your component versions.
from what i can see, you've just asserted that Server, Integration Kit, and Client are all on different Fix levels..
that's not a nice baseline on which to investigate!
Also, patching would also include importing the correct SAP Transports into your BW. (they change almost every FP)

XCelsius 2008 connectivity to SAP Netweaver BW

Hi All
I have installed xcelsius 2008 SP2(trial version) and trying to connect it to our BI (Netweaver 7.02) system through SAP NETWEAVER BW connectivity provided in xcelsius.
While connecting it gives an "error : 2032" . I have some questions regarding it :
1. Does licensed version is necessary for making a connection ?
2. Do we need to install some Webserver like Apache TOMCAT to run it successfully ?
3. If answer to point 2 is yes , then how can i move forward to config the TOMCAT and establish the connection ?
4. The prerequisite , NW 7.0 EhP1 SP5 with ABAP and Java stacks , on server side , means Portal(Java) + BI(ABAP) system or something else ?
As per note 1408384 , i have checked wsnavigator for bicsremote connectivity , that is working fine.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karan,
we are also facing this issue which is getting on our nerves.
Our BI Backend has EHP2.
We have also tried different versions of Xcelsius 2008 (3.2, 3.4, 4).
No chance. After the password entry to our BI backend the system is working. And it ends without getting the query (meta) data inside. We only see the query names. But after choosing they are not opening.
Authorizations in Backend and Portal should be fine.
The web services seem to run.
So we absolutely have no idea.
The evaluation version I also dont have. Because I could connet to another BI an could read the query.
We are wordless. Stay tuned..
Best regards Harry

XCELSIUS 2008 COMPONENT SDK

Hi,
Can some give me link to where I can install the SDK to go with Xcelsius 2008 SP2
@ SAP Dashboard Design (Xcelsius Engage) 2008 Component SDK SP3 I can see SDK SP3, but this I believe needs Xcelsius SP3.
I am looking for the SDK to go with Xcelsius SP2.

Current Service Pack/Fix Pack of Xcelsius 2008?

I have Xcelsius Version 5.1.2 (build 12.1.2.439) installed on a server.
When I click "Manage Add-Ons" I get a C++ run time error.
On another server I have 5.0.0.99 (build 12.1.0.247). That version seems to allow me to manage add-ons.
What service pack/fix pack do I need to install on top of 5.1.2 to allow me to manage add-ons?
Thanks...Marv

Hi Marv,
If you are on Windows Vista you need to disable UAC...
Also Xcelsius 2008 SP2 is now out so I'd upgrade to that and try again...
