Inserted object is missing (Live Office)

Hi. I'm now using LiveOffice XI3.1 SP3 + Xcelsius 2008 SP4.
I've inserted WebI object into cell "B2" and it works properly when I refresh the object. But after I save and re-open the file, I cannot see the object from "Go to object" menu.
The problem is I cannot insert new object to the old cell (B2) or delete that missing object, the error message as below
"Live Office has encountered a problem and cannot complete the requested action. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Unspecified error."
Please help.
Thanks.

The problem is that you might not be adding LiveOffice connection to Xcelsius by Data Manager.
It is a mandatory step to preserve your LiveOffice connection into Xcelsius excel.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Universe Objects Displayed Via Live Office

Post Author: Natali
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Universe Objects Displayed Via Live Office have different order list than these same Objects are in Webi
Is there known resolution?
Thank you
Natali

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.

Error due to Passing value in Live Office prompt

Hi All,
I have a webi report that is inserted in excel using live office. Connection is set to refresh on demand and the prompts are fed by linking cells in excel.
When a value example "James, Carter" is passed to the prompt i get the "Failed to fetch data provider data (LO26306)" error. I am sure it is happening only when there is a comma in between the text, if there is no comma then it is fine. If i pass the value in webi report it works fine(With or without the comma) it is happening only with live office. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks
J

I have tried the option of replacing the comma with %2C but it dint work.
The value i am passing to a live office prompt consists of a comma and hence i am getting this error. If i have plain words. Also when i passed (AB) that is brackets i am getting the exact result. I do have these different scenarios in my data.
Can anyone help.

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.

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.

Live Office Connection not showing Go to Object Option

Hi All,
i m using Xcelsius Enterprise 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I m having a live office connection. I had added the live office connection from a Webi Report, Binded the Prompt and created a live office connection to the server. The report was working fine.
After a couple of days when I open the report again I find the Go to Object has been disabled in the report and the Modify Object shows only Properties option. The Refresh Object also does not work.
Could you tell me what has gone wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks

I am still on Xcelsius 2008 but faced similar refresh disabled problems. May be this helps:
These days I maintain a Live Office Excel spreadsheet and import it into Xcelsius after any kind of changes.
You can maintain the data connections part within Xcelsius as required, but treat Live Office Excel report as a separate unit and set up all the refresh properties at report part level before you import it into and start developing the Xcelsius.
This way the refresh never gets affected and it works every time.

XCelsius Live Office objects and save loss

Hi all,
I'm observing an abnormal behavior using Live Office 3.1 fp 1.8 inside Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
Iu2019ve built Live Office queries based on OLAP universe inside Xcelsius;
all is ok but when I close and reopen Xcelsius the queries lost some
object or some filter. In addition if I try to delete a query it
disappears, but if I save, close and reopen the Xcelsius file it
appears. It seems as if Iu2019m not able to delete Live Office objects, nor
to make changes to query and so on. I've seen that this is a frequently
discussed problem on various forum, but i never found solutions.
Moreover i've observed the same behavior if i introduce through live office webi reports inside the dashboard: initially it seems ok, but after closing and re opening the XCelsius file, one or more reports disappear!!!
Have you any workaround to solve this anomaly?
Best regards

Hi,
As i said the following steps guide you to unlock the worbook.
Try this out
>>Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.
Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.
>> You will be prompted for a password.
>> This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):
fazOh1+u
>> Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.
As far as i think still you are using SP1 or SP2.
Please upgrade your Xcelsius SP and FP.
Let me know if you have any issues.
All credit goes to "Matt Lloyd" Coz the above solution was given by him long back (around Sep 2009).

Live Office missing from Productivity pack

Hi Experts, I see that when I'm trying to install Productivity Pack, it doesn't have "Live Office" and "QaaWs" while I am looking at the "Getting Started" document, I see that they're supposed to be a part of this installation. Am I missing something here? Am I looking at the wrong documentation? Please guide.

This is what is listed in the "xir2pp_Getting Started_en" guide:
"Productivity Pack release
The BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Productivity Pack release includes the
following installation packages:
u2022 Productivity Pack
Includes Business Process BI Services, Content Search, and Voyager
u2022 Live Office for Productivity Pack
u2022 Query as a Web Service for Productivity Pack"
But when I click on setup.exe and it shows the components, it only shows
- Business Process BI Services
- Content Search and
- Voyager
and I do not see Live Office and QaaWs as is listed here. Can anybody guide me on this?

Error while refreshing BO objects using live office

Hi Forum,
We are getting below error while refreshing the data using Live Office plug-in on PPT.
“An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://........ This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server.”
This error comes in exact 5 minutes.
The server name used for web service is from a clustered environment. When the individual node is used Live office refresh works fine but while using the generic name refresh fails.
Please provide your inputs.

Hi Honed,
Take the backup of dsws.properties file and do the following changes:
properties            values
domain               @<clustername>
session.timeout    value higher than 5 minutes

Inserting WEBI into Live Office with Bex query

I have created a WEBI connected directly to a Bex query in BI 4.0. When I refresh the WEBI, I am prompted with the Bex variable and the data is refreshed correctly. I added that WEBI to Live Office, but it does not prompt me with the Bex variable. I only get the data that was last saved in the WEBI. Is there anything special I have to do to get the Bex variable to prompt me in Live Office 4.0?

Hi,
Some additional info: It seems .unx is not fully supported with LiveOffice 4.0 - an enhancement has been registered on Ideas Place: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/3578
I have also seen it that WEBI on BICS never pulls the prompts (SAP Variables) through into Live Office. There is a documentation fix in process to explicitly mention this limitation.

Live Office: Database logon failed error

Please help...Live Office problem...
Am working in Xcelsius 2008.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. I set up a Crystal Report using a Stored Procedure as the data provider.
2. The Stored Procedure has a parameter built into it.
3. When the report is refreshed within Crystal, the prompt dialog box is displayed; I fill in the desired value, and run. Everything comes back fine.
4. Crystal Report is exported to the repository.
5. In Excel, I inserted the Crystal Report using Live Office. It shows up as a Live Office object just fine.
6. I bound an Excel cell to the prompt; when you change the value in the bound cell, the Live Office object refreshes and displays the correct results.
7. In Xcelsius, I imported the Excel spreadsheet.
8. I set up a Text component that is bound to the cell containing the parameter value. Also set up a Grid to display the results, and a Connection Refresh button to call the refresh. Added a Live Office Data Connection pointing to the Web Service URL for the report.
Note: When in Designer mode, if the value of the bound cell is changed, the results in the grid change accordingly.
9. When in Preview mode (or generated swf), if the Refresh button is pressed, a "User Identification" dialog box appears asking me to log on. The values it asks for are: System, User Name, Password, and Authentication. I enter the same credentials as are within the Live Office settings in Excel, (which are working correctly), but receive an error "soapenv:Server.generalException: Database logon failed.".
Note - all the id's are synced up - Business Objects, Database, etc.
I've tried all kinds of combinations, but nothing gets me past this error. If I use any other server than the system one, the error message is "soapenv:Server.generalException: Server XXXXX not found or server may be down".
I've noticed that in Excel directly, when I open the spreadsheet and refresh the Live Office object, I am prompted to log on to the database where the stored procedure is being executed. This dialog box does not appear once the Excel sheet has been imported into Xcelsius. One of the combinations I tried in the "User Identification" dialog box was the name of the database server, that didn't work either.
I also tried creating the Live Office object directly within the Excel spreadsheet in Xcelsius, but then I was unable to bind the prompt value. Could never get the Live Office/Properties menu to appear.
Ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Stephanie

Got it!
Here's what I had to do...
In the CMC, under Object/Process/Database for the Crystal Report -
which says...
"Set the default information for logging onto the data source(s) automatically whenever the report is run."
The Database Connection option had to be set to "Use custom database logon information specified here" and
the When Viewing Report option set to "Use same database logon as when report is run".
Then everything works fine - prompts appear, and Xcelsius passes the log on information to the database correctly. Stored procedure executes and returns the correct results.
Thanks to everyone for their help!
Stephanie
