ItemPath=%25 BUG? Xcelsius 2008

Hi,
For some reason the URL component includes "%25" to any URL I have included, specifically for links related to pdf's on the intranet.
Please help.
Dan.

Hi Davy, this happen if you have some "blank" cells in your excel. Please make a backup of your xcelsius before trying these steps.
In order to eliminate this blanks, being into your embedded excel, press F5, Special, blanks. Now, that you have your blank cells selected, select clear all from the excel menu. Also, you must go to your last row with data, and select all the rows bellow and clear all too. Save and close the xcelsius. Then, open and check if your problem is solved.
I found this solution in a web site and works for me. Please tell me if it works for you.
Regards,
Liliana

  • XCelsius 2008 is not backward compatible with ver 4.5

    Post Author: Joseph
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I tried opening a project that was done with ver 4.5 but it just said that "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or may have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius." So i guess I probably have to recreate the project in the 2008 version to take advantage of the new features available. So I imported the excel datasheet used in the old project to a new project in Xcelsius 2008 and tried recreating the objects from scratch. I had started with an accordion menu and two list boxes and then I decided to export to swf to test. However, the result was disappointing. I could only see the two list boxes but not the accordion menu. There was a message saying "Initializing..." that stayed. Does this mean I have to recreate the excel data from scratch as well?

    X2008 is backward compatible with CX4.5.  But Jim is correct. There is a bug in X2008 which prevents it from opening some 4.5 models by double-clicking on the filename.  They can be opened from the File > Open menu.  This only affects opening the model.Due to the many changes between CX4.5 and X2008, the migration of old CX4.5 models is not clean.  Differences will be seen.  Most are cosmetic affecting only the look of the model.  But some tidy up, color changes and re-alignment work must be done.   There was no way to gain the benefits of X2008 and still keep CX4.5 models unchanged.Andy  

  • Xcelsius 2008 SP4 won't work on Win 7 but does on XP ?

    Hi I posted this a few weeks ago but no one has replied thought I'd try again it is really anoying I have to type everything in word and cut and paste into Xcelsius
    Touching any key on keyboard locks up Xcelsius Mouse OK SP4  
    Posted: Feb 1, 2012 2:37 AM     Edit          Reply 
    Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with xcelsius and using the keyboard. I have now tried the Enterprise Edition Xcelsius 2008 SP4 on 3 x Windows 7 machines (and the Xcelsius SP3 with hot fix 3.3 on 2 windows 7 machines) and if I open a new project drag a pie chart onto the canvas (or anything) and try to replace the heading pie chart with "MyChart" as soon as I hit the M the software locks up and I get the following message.

    The strange thing is that if I write MyChart in a cell in the excel sheet and copy and paste it over Pie Chart it works fine as soon as I hit a key (even the backspace) I lock up the program. We tried on a clean image Windows 7 machine that IT hadnu2019t given out yet and same thing happened then we loaded it on an old XP machine and it worked!
    I Tried changing the compatibility to Run on XP SP3 but that didnu2019t help and turning on run as Administrator made no differance
    . Any ideas?
    This is the same for changing the timing for the xml maps thatu2019s where I first noticed the keyboard locking up the software, you can change the time with the 2 arrows via the mouse but if you highlight 5 and then hit the 6 key its the same error as above
    Extra weird just opened it up and went to the help thought Iu2019d type in u201Ckeyboard locks upu201D and guess what as soon as I hit the K, same error
    All our images have Office 2007, Dasault Draft site and a few other bits of software I was running 4.5 Xcelsius and that was OK
    Any ideas would be most helpful.

    Hello David
    Thanks for replying this is really bugging me. Sorry I've been a while replying I've been overseas on a course last week and didn't have work email access.
    Firstly the machines that I have tried it on are HP desktops about 1-2 years old with USB keyboards
    I tried the on screen keyboard and it locked up as soon as I clicked on a character whilst trying to rename a pie chart, this was the same for a remote net support session, and a remote RDP login to my machine by our IT department.
    Our IT guy said the keyboard drivers were current but I may just try and do an upgrade and reply a bit later on that as well.
    Does not happen on any other software on this machine.
    I'm checking for Flash upgrades but we currently have 11.1.102.55 and the newest is 11.1.102.62 so will load that and reply later also.
    Do you think it possible to download a corrupted version of Xcelsius the stupid thing about that idea is that I downloaded SP4 but if I load SP3 hotfix 3.3 that also locks up and I have that on an official DVD from Rockwell Automation as Xcelsius comes with their Factory Talk Vantage Point software as a dashboard builder.
    Thanks again Darren

  • Xcelsius 2008 FP2 won't export to swf

    Hello,
    I can not get Xcelsius to preview or export to swf.  The progress bar labelled "Generating swft" displays for approximately 3-5 minutes until Xcelsius.exe finally crashes and the app closes.  I'm running Xcelsius 2008 SP1 with FP2, Live Office XI R2 and Flash 10 (lastest version).  I've also looked at the Flash security as described in other forum posts and that does not appear to be the issue.
    The .xlf I'm working with was successfully completed and published to Crystalreports.com and is working fine.  The problems began when two additional Live Office connections were added to allow for some additional data points in the next release of the dashboard.  The data model now contains a few hundred more rows and a few hundred forumlas causing the Excel file to increase to just under 1MB.  The total number of rows of data return in all Live Office connections combine are just over 1,000 rows.  The max # rows setting in Xcelsius is set to 2,000.  The formula cells added to the data model are fairly simple formulas that were successfully used in the data model previously (ISERROR, INDEX, MATCH).
    On occasion, Xcelsius will give the message box "Your range has been reduced to the maximum rows allowed" before crashing. 
    Acting on this message I have removed the new Live Office connections, but the message/crashing continues.  I have now scaled back the # of Live Office connections and # of formula cells way back to a very small number.  the data model is now very small and quickly imports into Xcelsius yet the same message/crashing continues.  I have verified that the data model currently in Xcelsius is the most recent, very small version of the data model, but Xcelsius still behaves like the large 1MB data model is present. 
    I don't know if this is even a # rows/data model size issue or a config/bug issue.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated. 
    I've read the PDF on FP3, but don't see this scenario listed.  Might FP3 help?  I need to be FP3 is compatible with publishing swf files to Crystalreports.com which is a BOE XI R2 platform.

    thanks for the quick advice.  so we can scale back the data to within 512 rows by splitting this into 2 dashboards.  Not ideal, but shouldl be acceptable. 
    The data is already pre-aggregated.  The data sources for this data model are crystal reports that are published in Crystalreports.com and refreshed nightly against a 3rd party API.  Virtually all of the formulas required in Excel are used to line up rows of data that are being pulled in from 2 seperate live office queries.  All of the required data points could not be included in a single crystal report so 2 are needed and the rows matched up in Excel using an INDEX(MATCH) formula.  We are not using any unsupported functions or VLOOKUP per the advice of an Xcelsius best practice document I located in this forum.  I'm open to any suggestions on better techniques to align related rows of data from two seperate ranges in Excel so they essentially appear as though they came from a single data source.
    I am starting to lean toward the # of formulas in the data model as being the issue and have added fitlers to the live office query to cut the # of rows to only 20% of what was originally being retrieved.  The # of formulas were also reduced by the same percentage.  However, when trying to preview or export to swf, Xcelsius still gives the same message that the range was reduced to the max allowed and then crashes.  It's as if Xcelsius is still seeing the old data model.  Perhaps something is being cached that isn't clearing out?  Even a full remove and re-install of Xcelsius SP1, Live Office and FP2 has had no affect.  Maybe we need to build a new .xlf from scratch?
    thanks

  • Xcelsius 2008 - Known Issues (Installation)

    AA: Area Affected
    PD: Problem Description
    WA: WorkAround
    AA: Installing QAAWS from BOE Client
    PD: The Query As A Web Service (QAAWS) application has been combined with the BOE XI 3 BusinessObjects Client application. It was previously a separate application.
    This means that to use BOE XI 3 QAAWS with Xcelsius 2008, you must download the BOE XI 3 BusinessObject Client from the Business Objects Support site and install it on your client machine.
    WA: To install QAAWS download the BOE XI 3 BusinessObjects Client. You may or may not have access to this download based on the type of licensing agreement you have with Business Objects. Note that the BOE XI 3 BusinessObject client is about 600MB in size.
    AA: Installing Xcelsius 2008 when a higher version of the Adobe Flash Player exists
    PD: The Xcelsius 2008 installer will install a version of the Adobe Flash Player. If you have previously installed a higher version of the Flash player, you will get a warning message from the Xcelsius 2008 installer.
    WA: You can ignore this warning message. Your newer version of the Flash Player will not be changed.
    AA: Installing Xcelsius 2008 with other older BOE products.
    PD: After installing Xcelsius 2008 on a machine, some other older BOE products on the same machine stop working (eg. WebI Report Server, BOE XIR2)
    WA: Many BOE products share the same installer, as a result installing Xcelsius 2008 on the same machine other older products changes the default install folder to the newer BOE folder. For example with BOE XIR2 it changes the default BOE install directory to change to BOE XI 3 folder.
    C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\" is changed to
    C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 12\"
    The workaround is to manually edit the registry and change the key folder name back to its previous name.
    Use regedit to view the folder name in the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Business Objects/Enterprise/InstallRoot/Path".
    Double-click on path and change the Value data. In most cases the folder name is C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\
    Note: please back up your registry before making any changes.
    AA: Uninstalling Live Office XI 3 from a machine with Xcelsius 2008
    PD: If you uninstall Live Office XI3 on a machine with Xcelsius 2008 also installed, the Xcelsius Keycode Expiry dialog box (License manager) pops up asking for the Xcelsius Keycode.
    WA: The Xcelsius keycode must be entered again to re-enable Xcelsius.
    AA: Installing Xcelsius with Office XP
    PD: Currently installing Xcelsius 2008 with Office XP is not supported due to a bug. Use Office 2003 or Office 2007 instead. If Office XP must be used see the workaround.
    WA: As a workaround to the issue of Xcelsius 2008 not installing with Office XP, users can manually add a registry key to enable installation. Please make a backup copy of the registry before making any changes.
    1. Go to Start > Run. Start the registry editor by entering 'regedit'.
    2. Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to \Software\Microsoft\Office\
    3. Create an 11.0 folder, if it doesn't exist, by selecting Edit > New > Key from the menu.
    4. Create a subfolder called PowerPoint
    5. Create a subfolder under PowerPoint called InstallRoot
    You should now have the folder structure listed below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\InstallRoot
    6. From the InstallRoot folder create a string value called "Path" by selecting Edit > New > String Value
    7. Select the newly created Path value and select Edit > Modify.
    8. Under the Value Data field enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\"
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit the registry editor.
    11. Reboot your machine.
    You should now be able to install Xcelsius 2008.
    AA: Creating a Web Part for SharePoint Portal Server 2007
    PD: The current Xcelsius Web Part installer Setup.exe does not work with SharePoint Portal Server 2007.
    Note: Sharepoint Portal 2003 is supported.
    WA: You can manually install the web part to use with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007. Microsoft does not provide a mechanism to build a Web Part installer for SharePoint 2007. For instruction on manual installation see the Xcelsius Support website. (see follow up post below)

    The current Xcelsius Web Part installer Setup.exe does not work with SharePoint 2007 (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0). Here is the workaround to install Web Part in SharePoint 2007 manually.
    The easiest way to install a web part in SharePoint is to add the web part assemblies to Global Assembly Cache. To do so:
    1. Download and unzip the attached Xwp.zip. Drag Xwp.dll and ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll into C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder on the machine running SharePoint 2007.
    2. Open web.config file located in the root of a Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 Web Application directory with Notepad. Normally, the physical location of the default WSS 3.0 Web Application root is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80.
    [Click here for more information on how to Find the Web Application Root|http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms474356.aspx].
    3. Insert the following <SafeControl> tag between <SafeControls> and </SafeControls>.
    <SafeControl Assembly="Xwp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7e58495f1a9ea430"
    Namespace="CrystalXcelsius.SharePoint.WebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
    4. In SharePoint Portal Site Home page, from Site Actions drop-down menu, go to Site Settings->Modify All Site Settings. Click Web Parts under Galleries to open Web Part Gallery Page. Click New to open New Web Parts page. Check CrystalXcelsius.SharePoint.WebParts.Container checkbox and click Populate Gallery. Once it is populated, you will be able to add Container web part to your web part page in SharePoint 2007.

  • Best Practice Re-install Process?  (Xcelsius 2008 Engage)

    The main impetus of this post is now to request a best practice reinstall process.  E.g., what files/directories or registry keys to delete after uninstalling under Windows XP?  Running Xcelsius 2008 5.1.1.0 Build 12,1,1,344 (Windows XP SP2)?  I want to clean it up and reinstall completely, ideally without also reinstalling Office 2007.
    Earlier today, I had loaded up an otherwise healthy project and all of a sudden my edits were not taking.  I could perform the change in the Component Properties window but the change did not translate in the project display area.
    I had closed and reopened this project several times, killed both "Xcelsius" and "EXCEL" processes, rebooted the machine a couple of times, all to no avail.  I was totally stuck, it seems.  Then, it randomly corrected itself after the Xth close/reboot/reload.  I'm past the issue now it seems, but please consider this an official bug report.  These issues are no longer a mere minor nuisance, and I am looking forward to a nice big update in the next Fix Pack release, which I assume is right around the corner (hint, hint).
    Thanks.
    Edited by: f l on Nov 17, 2008 9:20 PM

    f l,
    I'm not sure deleting keys from the registry is ever a best practice, however Xcelsius has listings in:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Business Objects > Xcelsius
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Business Objects > Suite 12.0 > Xcelsius
    The current user folder holds temporary settings, such as how you've modified your interface.
    The local machine folder holds more important information.
    As always, it's recommended that you backup the registry and/or create a restore point before modifying or deleting any keys.
    As for directories, the only directory Xcelsius uses is the one you install to.  It also places some install logs in the temp directory, but they have no effect on the application.

  • Xcelsius 2008 u2013 Icon Transparency not working?

    Post Author: Schuster
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    Hi all,I have a control using icons with the Transparency set to 0%. They were working in 4.5, they were completely transparent, but after the upgrade to 2008, they did not work anymore
    From the help files:
    xcelsius 4.5: 0 being completely transparent, and 100 being completely solid. xcelsius 2008: 100 being completely transparent, and 0 being completely solid. 
    But in 2008 I do not see any difference between 0 or 100%, the icon is always completely solid 
    Is that a bug? Am I missing something?
    Thanks,

    Please try adding a new icon to the canvas and adjusting the transparency. Let me know what happens as this works fine for me.

  • Error to install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista. Error 1935.

    I have a big problem, I need install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista, but when I install the software apper the nex message:
    Error 1935 Error al instalar el ensamblado.

    From a brief Google search, I determined this error message is from Vista. It is not being produced by Xcelsius. You will need to do your own search and determine what is causing Vista to report this error. You can also try installing using instructions for Xcelsius installation on Vista posted elsewhere in these forums.

  • Not able to see Data in Xcelsius 2008

    Hi everyone,
    My question is I am not able to see data in Xcelsius spreadsheet although I am able to connect to SAP BW and also able to see and select query but when I select Cross Tab Data in output Values it is not displaying in Xcelsius spreadsheet
    System Info
    Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise Trial Version SP 3.0
    SAP BW 7.1 SP 6 ABAP and JAVA
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Rashid,
    When you are using the BW conenction in Xcelsius you will not see any data in the spreadsheet at design time or at preview time.
    To see the data you need to go SAP > Publish, then SAP > Launch to test the dashboard in the NetWeaver Portal as that is the only place where the data can be viewed.

  • Updating data in Xcelsius 2008 Export from Excel Spreadsheet

    Xcelsius 2008 newbie question....
    I have created a Xcelsius export (.swf) that display my data. However it appears the data is static after exporting.
    I am at a loss as to how you force it to update/refresh using the connections used in the excel.
    Am I missing something? I cannot find a straight answer, do need LiveOffice?
    How do I have an (.swf) export file that refreshes data itself????

    The easiest way to get data to update in your swf is to create a connection in the Data Manager.  After the connection is setup you can add a connection refresh button to allow the swf viewer to trigger that connection.
    To get data to refresh automatically, you can setup the connection to trigger or update on interval.

  • 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

    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)

    The downloads are all available from the [downloads service market place|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/] (as per the stickied thread)
    If you choose Service Pack as the software type it will allow for download of the SP3 full install.

  • Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to use Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC.
    I want following functionality in my dashboard:
    1. There is a drop down in the dashboard for Year-Month selection.
    2. Based on that selection, the BPC query to be refreshed for the selected month and my dashboard will show data for the selected month. While integrating with WebI using LiveOffice, we used to do this by binding the prompt to a cell in excel and selecting on demand refresh option. Can we do the similar thing while integrating with BPC ?
    3. Can we create multiple BPC reports in the same excel file to build the excel model for my dashboard ?
    Can these requirements be achieved by using Xcelsius on top of BPC using EPMConnector.xlx ?
    Many thanks,
    PASG

    Hi Sanjay,
    You need to use different operation types of the EPM Connector for this.
    Have a look at this how to guide:
