On insallation of SAP Integration Kit 3.1 .. I see SAP in the main Menu of the Xcelsuis 2008. However unlike Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 the SAP menu is all greyed out ( Its non-modifiable )

Xcelsius 2008 SP3 + SAP BW Integration

Hi All,
We are at BO Enterprise Server Ver 3.1 SP2 Fix Patch 2.5 on OS: AIX 5.3, Xcelsius 2008 SP3.1 and BW 7.0
Xcelsius is unable to connect to BW. Msg we receive is..... "The system you are currently connected to is not BW 7.02 or newer. Please disconnect and choose a different system".......Our BW upgrade is not scheduled soon.
As a work around QaaWS was opted to access live data. While accessing Enterprise server, we got a msg....... "you are trying to connect to a server which version is superior to XI 3.1. you may encounter unexpected issues. We recommend to connect to an XI 3.1 server"...... We proceeded and successfully create WSDL URLs but Drop down list of "Method" found to be emptywhen tried access it in Data Manager in Xcelsius.
How to make Xcelsius work in our set up?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Venkat

Vankeet,
Did Xcelsius ever worked with your current existing BW netweaver 7 system?
There are some prerequisites are mentioned in this SAP Note:
Have a look at them...

Problem with Xcelsius 2008 sp3 service pack chart slider into adobe flex

Hello All,
I tried to use the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 and created a Chart with a slider the new UI element which is introduced in the Service pack versions .. now i tried to implement the logic in Adobe flex builer 3 setting the compiler properties as hot fix 2.0 . Followed all the rules like creating an action script and creating MXML component.. Now when i try to embed the same swf whic is generated into webdynpro component it gives me error tht some classes or some events or some variables are missing..
According to my assumption i doubt wether the xcelsius 2008 sp3 will support the adobe flex 3 with this hot fix which i was initialy using .. So can anybody suggest me what can be doen to overcome this issue and make my new chart with slider run in my webdynpro abap :(...
Regards,
Sana.

Hi Sana,
You might be using Flex 3 sdk library files.
Just check in Properies of your Flex project -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path .
You might get the library files as Flex 3.*
If it is the case then change it to Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3.
now create a new project and compile your application and use the same swf.
Otherwise try to import any existing Flex 2 project folder with compiler flex 2 ver. then try the same swf in your xcelsius application.

Vivek

Make sure you download the self extracting file and run it from your hard drive.
Please be patient when you run the self extracting file as it silently extracts all of the necessary files and then automatically runs the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 installer which can take a few minutes. The install files are extracted to the C:Temp folder along with the other CD files including: documentation, connectivity and portal integration kits.
SP3 is cumulative patch so incorporates all the patches to-date and delivers new fixes and features, therefore Xcelsius 2008 SP1 and SP2 are no longer available. Customers looking for fixes shipped with SP1 or SP2 should download and install SP3.
Note: The Enterprise patch is for all versions of Xcelsius 2008 except Xcelsius 2008 Present which has its own patch

What do I need to create Flex custom components for Xcelsius 2008 SP3?

Hello, and thanks for your time.
I have recently been roped into creating some custom components in Flex 3 for use in Xcelsius 2008 SP3. I can create custom components in Flex, but I have no idea how to get them into Xcelsius.
I have begun my own research into everything I am going to need, but I am hoping someone out there who has done this can provide a user-friendly itemized list of all the parts that are needed to accomplish this task. I want to make sure I do not miss anything.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.
What I have so far:
Flex Builder 3
Xcelsius Engage Server 5.3 (2008)
What I think I need:
Xcelsius 2008 component SDK
Cheers!

Xcelsius 2008 SP3 install

Hi Forum,
I am trying to install Xcelsius 2008 SP3...
I uninstalled Xcelsius 2008. Succesfully
I downloaded Xcelsius 2008 SP3, and when i enter the Product Key i am getting a message saying that the Key is Invalid....
This is the same key that i used to install it the first time....
Can someone tell me what am i doing wrong.... maybe the installation requieres for me to do it via CD instead of a download?
The reason i am saying that is because the product key starts with CDXXX. Or am i using the wrong key?
Regards,
Manuel Roman

Make sure Xcelsius 2008 is fully uninstalled, reboot and install Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
The Xcelsius SP3 is a Cumulative Service Pack not an incremental. That means, you need to uninstall the existing version of Xcelsius on your machine and then run the executable that you have downloaded.
While installing please keep the Key code ready. The installation will ask you to enter at at the beginning. This is the same key code that you might have received from SAP when you purchased the license.
Make sure you type it in exactly in all caps and with dashes.

Hello,
when I press the buttons open, save, save as, export, download add-on, ... crashes xcelsius
and then to restart it I have to kill the excel process...
This problem does not happen if I use CTR + S to save.
I use Windows 7 Professional 32bit, Excel 2007 and Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3 5.3.0.0 Build Number 12.3.3.980.
Fix pack 3.3 and 3.4 do not solve the problem.
Have you any solution? Thanks

Supported platforms are : Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit Editions) (Requires Xcelsius 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3 or later)
But still can jus check with the below pdf if all the platform you have is supported one.

Xcelsius 2008 sp3 and Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix3 - Flex 3 Charts

Hello,
I'm working inserting some Flex charts into Xcelsius, but I've been having some compatibility problem. Let me explain:
I have Xcelsius 2008 sp3 and I'm working in Flex builder 3 but when I was creating the xcelsius-objects project. I selected to compile the project the Flex builder 2.0.1 hotfix 3 SDK.
When I have used this SDK I have not all the capabilities in the column chart that I need, some labels option in ColumnChart doesn't work, but when I selected Flex 3 SDK to compiled the entire ColumnChart object doesn't appear. If I try to insert the project builted in Flex 3 SDK when I open Xcelsius, I receive a lot of Exceptions, like to Xcelsius didn't found some clases. If I insert the project built on Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 SDK the capabilities that I need don´t work.
Please Help me because this is driving me crazy.
Thanks to everyone

Hi,
Xcelsius 2008 is built using Flex SDK 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 so that is the version of Flex SDK you have to use because it is not possible to mix and match versions of the Flex SDK in a SWF.
So to create your add-ons you cannot use any Flex 3 or Flex 4 SDK components, only Flex 2.

Matt

Supported pdf versions and mouse over problem for Xcelsius 2008 SP3

Hi,
Have below queries regarding Xcelsuis 2008 SP3.
(1) Encountered last character truncation problem for the x-axis and y-axis labels when viewed using adobe reader versions higher than 9.0.0. Viewing the pdf doc using adobe reader v9.0.0 has no label truncation problem. Preview in Xcesius is also ok.
(a) Y-axis label - eg. No. of students. The last char [s] is truncated when exported to pdf.
(b) X-axis label u2013 when labels are oriented vertically, they are very close to the x-axis. The last char is truncated.
Please advise what is the supported pdf versions for Xcelsius 2008?
Any workaround to overcome the truncation problem?
(2) Mouseover in charts. When the series name has < symbol, Xcelsius truncates the remaining text that's after the < symbol.
Is this a limitation that < symbol cannot be used? Any workarond for this? Any document to reference on the limitations of Xcelsius? e.g. If series name is '>1 and <=2', mouse over desc becomes '>1 and '.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi ,,There are a lot of developments in SP3 version. But some loopholes which I caughtu2026
1. The value button/spinner is no longer supporting a cell having some formula. Also the time it is taking to load data which depends on value button/spinner as a result of change in it, is comparably very high as compared to earlier version.
2. Still there is no component like pre-load animation. So it is difficult to know weather the tool is running or not when one selects an option in some selector.
3. One still finds it difficult to work with a large range of data/complex spread sheet in xcelsius as it crashes while exporting.
4. Export to excel still needs Tomcat Web server,Java help. It is not simplified.

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 with the Brother 9500PC, 9700PC, and P9800PC

We have using Crystal Reports with the Brother Label printers for years until we were forced to use Crystal 2008. The label printers have worked in the past and we usually create a label template in the printer driver and this configuration is stored in the Crystal Report. These label printers can use several different size cartridges. When creating a report using the Editor, the report displays and prints correctly using the template embedded into the report. This is using the updated SP3.3 service pack. The problem is in the Run Time application that is embedded in another application to run the reports. When printing a label from the application, the report previews just fine with the correct size and format. However, when you try to print the label, the run time driver ignores the template embedded in the report and instead uses the default settings for the printer driver. So, if I have a 1 inch cartridge in the printer, and the default settings for the printer is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge, then the report will try to print assuming there is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge which will cause the application to fail. This is a problem with Crystal 2008 (12) and we would like to find a solution to this. Thanks, Doug

Hi Cameron,
You can setup custom label sizes in Crystal. In the folder where you installed Crystal Reports is a text file called Labels_en.txt. This contains the label definition Crystal uses. You can add a new label in here.
Now when you open Crystal and create a new report by selecting the Mailing Label Repotr Wizard, you will see your new label when you get to that step.
When save a report, the report will do two things. If you have set the report to a specific printer, Crystal saves the printer and paper settings inside the RPT. When the print engine runs the report, if it can't find the printer saved in the report it will default to the default printer.
What I believe is happening is the application is loading the report and because it can't find the label printer it was designed with it's going to the default printer. So you do have to set the PrintReportOptions in your application to redirect the report to the correct printer, driver and papersize.
This has pretty much been the way since version 4 that I can remember. The positive side is you don't have to set all the parameters yourself. You can get the PrintReportOptions from the report when you open it. Then you just need to pass the printer name, driver and port. The rest of the options (papersize) will already be populated from the Get.
Good luck,
Brian
