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,

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)

Please help.

Xcelsius - Live Office - Refresh

Need expert inputs
Environment:
Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - BO XI 3.0
WEBI Reports on top of BI OLAP Universe
I've 1 tab with 4 dashboards and a total of 22 live office connections [ 4 excel tabs with about 6000 excel rows total]. The live office connection in excel seem to refresh using the WEBI instance in under 40 seconds. However, the same when imported into xcelsius takes for ever to refresh.
Our plan is to refresh using WEBI instances to gain some performance; however xcelsius loading using live office connection even with the instances and the initialization time for SWF is a major concern right now;
Any thoughts on how we can improve performance?
is it no of connections? or the amount of data? or any oss note or patch of xcelsius is needed?
Thanks
Gopal Krishnamurthy

Thanks Anil. I did refer to the best practices document and other documents/links available on SDN. However, there are no definitive answers on optimum no of connections, no of excel rows for xcelsius to handle. II've made sure that there are no excel formulas or any kind of excel functions for xcelsius to perform. Still, just loading and rendering rom Live office take so much time , when Excel using Live office is loading the same effortlessly.
I would really appreciate if someone can make recommendation on this so that we can consider remodelling our dashboards accordingly.
Thanks
Gopal

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.

This perfectly works with one table and one nav. block per tab. When I include a second table and a second nav. blocks in some tab, it doesn't work properly anymore (the selected tab is not highlighted). I think that I'm not naming the table and nav. block properly:
ITEM: TAB1
ITEM: TAB1NAVIGATIONBLOCK_1
Second table?
Second nav. block?
Could someone help me further?
Thanks, Nippon

with other words..
strip1 = 2 tables, name TAB1_0 and TAB1_1
strip2 = 2 tables, name TAB2_0 and TAB2_1
Navblock strip1 = 2 navblocks, name TAB1_0_NAV and TAB1_1_NAV
Navblock strip2 = 2 navblocks, name TAB2_0_NAV and TAB2_1_NAV
The JavaScript Paramter is TAB1, TAB2 and TAB3. So need every strip-group the same "main"-name.
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB1"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB1')">Tab 1</A>
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB2"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB2')">Tab 2</A>
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB3"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB3')">Tab 3</A>
First of all JavaScript set all objects to hidden, then set all objects with 'name' visible.

Does Xcelsius support Cross Tab report via Live Office?

-Operating System: Windows XP
-OS Patch level: Service Pack 3
-Office Version: 2007
-Flash Player version: 10
-Xcelsius Version and Patch Level: Enterprise 2008 with SP2 (version: 5.2.0.0)
-Xcelsius Build number (Help>About Xcelsius): 12,2,0,608
-Business Objects Enterprise version/patch level (if applicable): Edge 3.1
-Issue Description:
I have a dashboard which collects data via Live Office from a series of Webi documents and Crystal Reports. I have found that if I create a report that has for instance sales regions down the left and months across the top using a cross tab in either Crystal Reports or as a Webi the data will only refresh within the current month, so for instance if I create the report in October the sales figure for October will update happily until the last day of the month but on the first of November no sales figures will show in the new month and I have to manually refresh the report in Xcelsius and issue a new Dashboard to my users. This makes me wonder whether Cross Tab reports are actually supported via Live Office. If I use formulas in Crystal Reports and manually build a report that looks like this but uses formulas it works fine, but is obviously a much slower process than simply building a Webi cross tab.
Your views and help would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks
Rob
-Steps to Duplicate:
As Above

Hi Rob,
You can bind cross tab reports from your WebI reports into Xcelsius using an integration tool called[ Xcelsius Web Intelligence Intregration Suite|http://www.antivia.com/products-xcelsius.stm].
This will give you the full functionality of Web Intelligence inside an Xcelsius dashboard- drill-down, cross tabs, even an ad hoc query panel, all bound into the Xcelsius interface.
This would remove the need to use QaaWs or Live Office, so you can probably realize some performance gains and handle larger data volumes.
Cheers,
Andrew

Problem with Cross Tab in Live Office Connectivity

Hi Experts,
I am using Live Office Connectivity to build a Xcelsius Dashboard.
The webi Report has data in 4 cross tabs which comes to Xcelsius as 4 LO Connections.
The size of the Xcelsius Doc is around 900K. I am getting "Xcelcius has stopped working " error when i preview the document.
Earlier i have built dashboards on Webi Report which used Verticle tables(more than 1 MB in size). I am able to preview them and generate SWF without any problem.
I am working on Xcelsius SP3 on Vista OS with 2 GB RAM.
Is using Cross Tab, responsible for the Application Crash or any other reason?
Please help me in solving the above problem at the earliest.
Please let me know if you need any further information on the same.
TIA,
Bhargava Bommidi.

Bhargava,
Webi cross tabs via Live Office connection should work. Pls see this [post|Re: Does Xcelsius support Cross Tab report via Live Office?; for more detail.
Pls let me know what version of Xcelsius you are using because this error is known to popup when some of the dlls are not registered as well.
Cheers,
Ryan

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.

Henry

QAAWS query results differ from live office query results

Hello,
I ran a query in QAAWS using 3 filter components and got different results ( expected a single row and expected the query to sum up the values) Result was 4 dirrent rows for the the same combination
eg) A : B: C value1
      A: B:C value 2
     A:B:C   value3
    A:B:C    value 4.
I expected A: B:C (value1value2value3+Value4) .
When I run the same query in Live Office I get the correct single row. Somehow the filter condition in QAAWS does not fetch accurate resuls, I removed the filter conditions and still got the same results. I am reviewing the results in the Xcelsius Dashboard.   Any thought on this issue.
Thanks
Abhijit

When you are using LO, the query result will be aggregated at report level, based on the aggregation you have selected for the Measure (Your Value). Hence you will get only 1 row. On the other hand QaaWS will not do any aggregation as it just output the querry result. IF you want QaaWS to output aggregated data, you will have to define your querry accordingly. For eg:(Assume that your are working with SQL based database), you can use Sum(Value) as the query defention for your measure.
Hope this helps,
Anil

Filter on date and time from Live Office query panel (Excel)

Hi,
I'd like to know if someone already tried this.
1- Create a univers with 3 fields.
a. Field 1 type date: points to a type date field (ex: 2011-12-31 00:00:00)
b. Field 2 type date: points to a type time field (ex: 17:00:00) -> which is basically 5pm
c. Field 3 type date: points to a type datetime field (ex: 2011-12-31 17:00:00)
2- Open Excel and using Live Office plugins
3- Open the univers
4- Drag the Field 3 as filters.
5- Choose an operator ex: Between, Greater, etc.
6- Open the calendar and select a date
7- Modify the 00:00:00 to put something like 17:00:00
8- Click away
9- The time resets back to 00:00:00
So my question is how do I have to setup the field in the univers so that we can query on the time using the univers in Live Office. I say Live Office because in WEBI, it works fine. Changing the 00:00:00 to something else doesn't make it reset to 00:00:00 when you click elsewhere.
Trying with Field 1 and 2 does the same thing.
Purpose of this is to be able to filter on parts of the day, like am (8am to noon) and pm (1pm to 5pm).
BOXI 3.1 SP3
Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi n,
please search for your problem in the forum. This has been discussed a lot of times before! (keywords: Excel LabVIEW timestamps)
Excel stores timestamps as number of days (your 41866) and part of days (0.5798d = 13H55M). You need to convert those numbers using some (more or less) simple math to LabVIEW timestamps!

Reports 9i Graphs with more than one query..

Hello,
I am converting my 6i reports to 9i reports. On my graph reports with more than one query, when I invoke the graph wizard it changes the value of the src to the wrong query automatically. When I run my report, I am getting the error REP-0069 Internal Error rwlib-1: REP-6219 Column (Column Name) not in given cursor hierarchy. Although it's a pretty easy fix to go into the graph settings in the property palette and change it back, it is extremely frustrating. Has anyone else ran into this problem and did you find a permanent fix?
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura
One workround would be to create a new query in the Data Model that includes desired fields, and then source
chart to the new group.
FYi, bug2527100 was filed on this issue and is already fixed. The fix would be available in 9i Reports 9.0.2.2 patch. Reports 9.0.2.2 patch is scheduled to be released on Mar 05 2003 (tentative date).

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Please see below answers to your question:
When you say that you are not able to connect from Word Live office to server - in this are you able to see Live Office tab in word document?
Yes, I can see the Live Office tab. When I try to connect to the server to insert a crystal report I get the message "constructor exception (error: WSE 99999) Unknown error "-1""
Did the installation process was done properly?
As far as I am aware, yes.
Which version of Live office you are using? because it will help to proceed further.
LIVE OFFICE XI 3.1 (version 12.1.0.882)
Where exactly you are not getting the Crystal Reports Options? Are you facing any error message?If Yes then what is the error message.
Please see above
Are you able to login to server successfully?
I can in Excel in Live office but not in Word. As per the first message, I cannot see an option in Crystal to publish a crystal report. Do you know how I can do this? As I understand I need to publish it to the server and then Live Office will be able to see it.

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.
