Live Office or Qaas Connection perfomance

Hi All,
Actually we are just going to start to create dashboard.
So my question is whether we should use Live office connection or QAAS connection.
Perfomance wise which one is better.
Regards
Gaurav

If you want to combine advantages of easy connection design from QaaWS, with complex blocks & scheduling from LO, oyu may want to try BI Services (Web Intelligence report parts published as web services from WebI Rich Client since XI 3.1 SP2).
This also provides access to report filters and drills.
Benches have shown BI Services to be more efficient as compared with QaaWS, since they provide several setting parameters to tune consumption, leverage scheduling and avoid as much as possible DB round-trips (ie document refreshes) which you cannot really avoid with QaaWS.
Hope that helps,
David.

Live Office Error when connecting to SAP BW data (Offline dashboard)

Hi experts,
we have built up an Live Office connection to SAP BW query data to create a dashboards, which can show the data also in offlne mode. We are using exactly the same procedure as recommanded by Ingo Hilgofort in [End-to-End Scenarios With Xcelsius 2008|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/90ad73b1-506c-2b10-9e9b-9fde523f010a].
When trying to refresh the Live Office connection using the "Refresh" button in the dashboard we receive the error LO 26301: The current refresh option requires a report instance that does not exist.
The recommended action is: Change the refresh option of the object or use the CMC to schedule a new instance.
But creating an instance of the dashboard is not possible. What is meant by that? Is it necessary that we embed the Xcelsius flash into a PDF or a Crystal Report? What are our alternatives?
Best regards,
Sebastian

BICS environment with live Office or QAWS connection

we have a scenario where Hierarchy's needs to be incorporated in the xcelsius dashboards, currently we have dashboards using live office and using webi query we are building hiearchey (L00, L01, L02, ..., L09) and we developed a custom xcelsius component to display as Hiearchey dropdown.
Now we are moving to use BICS environment, how can we leverage the Hierarchy like senario (Hier is auth relevant) ??
is there any way we can leverage live office or some other form of connections when publishing to Net weaver Portal ??

Hi Stratos,
it already takes about 15 minutes to display the option window.
When the option window appears and I enter my credentials for the login, that login requires another 10 minutes but finally succeeds.
After that the import of BO content works quite well. The delay only occurs during the starting phase of Live Office.
It seems that the whole application is not working properly.
The thing is, I already tried to reinstall Live Office once and the delay times are still there.
Another idea?
Sebastian

Live Office Failing to Connect

Hi, we have just upgraded Business Objects XI to R3 (Product: 12.1.0) version and all our reports were moved over. We are using Excel version 2007 and Live office version 12.3.0.601 Build 601.
We cannot get the Enterprise (authenticication) logon to work. all the details (UN, password, server) are all correct, but we either get logon issues or access issues.
LO 02040 - logon error even though the details are correct
LO 02010 - insufficient rights to open the report (this happens regardless of the report and they are the user's reports)
We use BO/Live office 90% of the day and cannot have it not working, are there any suggestions?
We cannot create new objects or update existing ones as the operation times out. We cannot update the properties of existing reports either.
This all worked perfectly before upgrading BO and Live Office.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Professor,
1) If you just plug your switched on phone into usb on PC does it say "mass storage device" connected and can you then explore content?
No it does not say that. It does seem that the necessary drivers are installed, because the PC indicates "ready for use". However I cannot find the phone in Windows Explorer.
2) Nokia 6680 is a Symbian 60 there must be a way of selecting either PC Suite, Mass storage or Transfer on phone menu!
Maybe you're right, but I cannot find these options in the phone menu.
So far, still no solution. Thanks for your input.

Generating a report in dashboard with live office connection(3.0 version) ?

Hi,
iam generating a report in dashboard with live office connection(3.0 version) but when iam trying to set parameters the refersh button & modify button are disable. how to overcome from this issue?
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra,
Confirm if you are getting the same issue outside Xcelsius i.e in the Microsoft Excel.
Try refreshing the Live office objects in MS excel using the option "Refresh all objects "and then import .xls it in Xcelsius.

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.
Regards
Asha.

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.

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

Error #1009 Live Office Connections

Hi,
I created a dashboard in Xcelsius 2008, with live office connections. When I'm testing (select an options with combo box, and show me tool bars, datasheets....) it on Infoview, the following message appears by surprise on a grey background:
"An error has ocurred.
For more information, contact the file creator or your system administrator.
Error: Error #1009
Connection type: Live Office Connection"
When I try again (the same combination) , the results appears correctly.
Apparently, the live office connection doesn't return all query results at the first time.
Any idea what's the problem? and how can I solved it?
Thanks

Hi,
You Didn't mentioned the Xcelsius version you are using.
I presume that you need to install the latest fix pack. This fix pack 3.1 addressed this problem. I would suggest you to install all in a row (Hot Fix 3.4 is the latest one).
Refer below document.

Automatic Refresh of Xcelsius dashboard with Live Office connection

Hi,
I have an Xcelsius dashbaord which has Live Office connectivity to universe query. Universe is build on a Bex query. Now, I need to auto refresh my dashboard say every 15 seconds.
Under 'Data > Connection' menu, I could find 'Refresh every' option for refreshing the dashboard at specified interval. However, it doesn't seem to work. Also, the user guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 indicates that this auto refresh is only for QaaWS, Web Services, and XML Data connections only.
Can someone let me know if this is still the case? Is it possible to have auto refresh for LO connection ? If not, what is the best alternative? I believe QaaWS would work.
Thanks,
Bhargav

Well its still possible to refresh LO connection every 15second. You can use play selector which counts 0-15. Then bind your LO connection refresh option to Play Selector's destination, make it When value becomes 15.

Excelsisu Best Data Connectivity Approach: BI Services & Live Office?

Hi guys,
I the next months we have planned to develop several Excelsius dashboards based on existing web intelligence queries. After carefully reading all documentation we have concluded that for this purpose the most suitable approaches for data connectivity are:
- Use BI Services (Qaaws method)
- Use Live Office
Leaving apart license considerations (we have Live Office licenses) we are internally discussing about which should be the choosen method to develop all dashboards.
Both seems to fullfill basic requirements: security restrictions, access to special data (totals, orders by)
Question is: what is your opinion about? Considering the future release of SP4 do you know which method best fit future migrations?

Hi,
You have three options currently. QaaWS, BI Services and Live Office.
In BI4.0 QaaWS is effectively replaced by the query pane in Xcelsius, which lets you connect an Xcelsius model directly to a universe.
In BI4.0, you can also create BI Services from the web client, you no longer need to use the Webi Rich Client.
Read this for an overview and comparison of the three. http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/live-office-vs-qaaws-vs-bi-services.html
Having just migrated a dashboard with 44 connections from Live Office to BI Services, I can tell you that BI Services are much faster, and easier to work with.
Hope that helps.
