Multiple connections via xml maps

I am currently using Engage SP1 version of Xcelsius. (not Engage Server.)
As noted in other posts, this version of the product does not all allow multiple connections to web services using the connectivity tools built into the Xcelsius development environment.
However I've found there is no such limit placed on the number of web service connections if you set them up in Excel (as xml mappings) and then import that excel spreadsheet as the model for Xcelsius.
I've tested this by connecting to three different web services using 3 xml maps in Excel and then importing that excel file as the model for Xcelsius to use.  The xcelsius model worked flawlessly displaying data from all three web services on the dashboard (swf).
The only limitation I've found is that the excel XML mapping tool doesn't offer a way to feed a value as input for the web service.   In the example all three web services required no input values. 
They just run when called and return data.    (no parameter required.)
However my attempts to setup an xml mapping to a web service that requires an input parameter has failed.
There seems to be no way to feed the web service an input value within Excel.   I realize that may be an Excel support issue, but have found no documentation in the Excel product or websites to explain how to setup the xml map to allow for the input.
I should note, that i have connected successfully using a web service url that contains the parameter values hard coded (but no successess passing them in from excel at the time of the web service call.)
If anyone has solved this issue any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, when you are maping an xml file in excel you have only imported the data that contains the file but not the query, you have to update the file but i dont know if excelsius will allow to reimport the xml in the datasheet when its in a swf format. I have a similar issue because mapping its almost equal to copy the entire data base.
I am trying to make a web service that contains more that one query and generate the xml in a schema that will be helpfull for me to make a general configuration.
I have to make 5 or 6 drill downs whit specific information :s and i havent get any response. My limitation its that i have the same version that  you have only one conection but if i can do that web service it will be very helpfulll and i will be using like 500 rows. I dont whant to make it in diferent xcelsius templates because i havent found an alternative to conect the "filters" to each template.
Second Xcelsius has make a point that its a waste to buy even the engage version but this is what my company whants and i have to use it.
If you know flash you can do it in a very efficient way, also you need to have a general idea of programing an application.
I didnt know flash but in this time 2 months have finish the project, the problem its that is not in excelsius >,>. And they what it in excelsius so they can modify the source files (.xlf).
If i can do the web service i will post it and maybe it can help you. Good luck if you success in your idea.

  • Dynamic Data in Xcelsius Dashboard via ExcelXML Map?

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dashboard with a grid with a variable number of rows and columns. The data is given to Xcelsius through an Excel XML map i.e. I have given an XML source to an Excel file and then have imported that excel file into Xcelsius.
    I am able to see dynamic data changes within the pre-specified dimensions (i.e. from the first import). For example, if I have a 4X5 grid and change the text in the first row and first column, then Xcelsius will reflect this. However if I add an additional row with data in the xml file, I am not able to see this, even if I resize the the grid so that it has room at the bottom to be filled in.
    Does anybody have any experience with this/can anyone point me to specific articles? I have followed the instructions given in the Tech Tips article, but this only applies to data within a specific structure, while I want to change the structure itself.
    In short, is it possible to do dynamic structures in Xcelsius?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Anjana Dasu

    Hi,
    Please go to Data>Connections>Excel XMl maps under usage tab please check if you have set the options "Refresh on load" or "refresh every".
    If not, please select the refresh option and save the xlf file and then try to create a dashboard again.

  • Does Airport Express support multiple ethernet connections via a switch?

    If I use the following configuration, with the Airport Express extending my network, will it handle multiple devices connected via a switch?
    Modem---Airport Extreme- - -802.11n- - -Airport Express---Switch---multiple devices (eg. network printer and iMac).
    Or do I need to use a second Airport Extreme instead?

    It works for me—even when the AirPort Express device is configured to extend the wireless network created by the AirPort Extreme router.

  • Mapped drives do not open after connecting via Cisco VPN Client

    I have an issue when I initially connect to my remote network, I cannot get to any mapped drive unless I wait a few minutes for the VPN connect to mature. To explain further, I have to wait 2-4 minutes after connecting to the VPN for me to actually connect to those drives.
    The error that pops up is:
    "An error occurred while reconnecting to DriveLetter: to \\Server\sharedDrive\    Microsoft WIndows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.
    Now, immediately after  I connect, I am able to successfully ping the server that hosts those folder locations but for some reason I cannot get to the server via UNC/shared drives until I wait a few minutes after connecting.

    Firewall, Sygate Security Agent, is not running, the client will not send firewall information to concentrator.
    Any ideas on what it could be?

    I have a client that is showing a similar issue.. Windows 7 computer using Cisco IPSec client terminating on a Cisco 881 Router.  I can ping the server by IP, Name and even access the drive from the start menu option, but not the mapped drive.  Currently I am looking into this from a offline file issue in windows, but ran across this post and was wondering if you had figured this out?  I am going to try the following and will post back if that resolves it.
    Doing some research I found that Windows 7 and Vista both have what’s called “slow link mode”.  The behavior is that if the latency of the network connection exceeds 80 milliseconds (ms), the system will transition the files to “offline mode”.  The 80 ms value is configurable using a local group policy edit.
    Open Group policy (start -> run -> gpedit.msc)
    Expand “Computer Configuration”
    Expand “Administrative Templates”
    Expand “Network”
    Click on “Offline Files”
    Locate “Configure slow-link mode”
    This policy can either be disabled or set to a higher value for slower connections.

  • Xcelsius xml map connection error [local xml file]

    xcelsius 2008 SP1 (loaded by IT dept)
    I am having issues with an xml map connection after I export to flash. The xml data file is local so the URL is (C:\Documents and Settings\..\Desktop\file.xml). It works fine in preview. I reasearched the topic and it all points to flash security settings but how can that be since everything is local. I'm doing this on my computer an nothing else.
    Do i still need to change the flash security setting (crossdomain.xml) even when I am trying to access just local file? If so does that mean that I need to create one of these crossdomain files in my C: directory. Because that doesn't sound right.

    Thank you Matt, this solved the issue!
    This is a quick summary for those having the same issue in the future. (I know it helped me when I was using the search feature to have a follow up post from the original poster)
    - accessing local files during preview is a little different from accessing after you export to a swf file.
    - This is due to security settings on flash
    - when trying to access a local file you must add the swf file (flash) that xcelsius created to the secure list on you flash settings
    - Please read the short guide provided by Matt (above) for more details
    Again, thank you Matt!

  • Can multiple Airport Expresses be connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?

    I am a big fan of both the Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  In my work environment, I need to create a good quality single wireless network around 2 large aircraft hangars and some offices at the perimeters.  We have a good quality wired Cat5e ethernet network extended between the buildings and offices now.  Is this possible and does it seem like a good practical solution?  I think that 4 or 5 Airport expresses would easily provide good wireless coverage in the needed areas. 

    Can multiple AirPort Expresses be connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?
    Yes, this will work just fine as long as any individual Ethernet cable run will not exceed much over 330 feet or about 100 meters.

  • How to use multiple connections for xcelsius dashboard via toggle button

    Can anyone shed some light on how to apply a toggle button for multiple connections using xcelsius dashboard.
    I created two SAP connections in my xcelsius dashboard.  The first connection uses query 1 (bottom ten customers) and the second connection uses query 2 (top ten customers).  I wanted to use a toggle button where the user would click Top Ten customers versus Bottom Ten customers.  Which ever the user clicks in the toggle botton would run that query.
    If the toggle button is not the way to handle this can someone explain a better approach to run either query in the same dashboard.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi,
    I've never had to do this so have no practical experience.  However in theory you should be able to do the following (assuming the data connection type youu2019re using has the "Usage" tab):
    Set up the two connections as normal - On the usage tab set the detail query to Refresh before components are loaded and make sure that this is unchecked for the other query.  Set both queries to populate the same range so that one query will overwrite the other in the Xcelsius spreadsheet.
    Bind a toggle button to a cell e.g. A1
    Back to the data connections again and set the "Refresh on trigger" trigger cell to A1.  And set the "When Value Becomes" to either "On" or "Off" dependent on how you've set up the toggle button.  Repeat for the other query.
    Hope this helps,
    Paul

  • Query for Multiple Rows as XML

    Ok I've seen this topic in the forums, but have failed to get this to work within my process. Basically I have a process that has a user fill out a form, and upon submittal the form writes it's information to a database (via a data connection within the form that invokes a separate process upon submittal.), once this is done the main process is invoked and it's first step is to query that same database and bring back the data in a lower (now exposed) portion of the form that contains certain fields that track the issue history. The query brings back the xml document and I store it in an xml variable (xml_output). I then take this information and use the Set Value object to assign the returned nodes values to the location fields in the form. This works if the query returns only one row. But once the form is moved beyond the initial Task Assignment, (first user), and query returns more than just one row, the added nodes to not show up on the form, i.e I still just get information about the first row in my form. From what I've read the form should be able to recognize the xpath expression, and bring back all the nodes, by in a sense using instance manager to create an instance for each node on the form. My question is how can I get this to work. Jasmin if your still out there... Help!
    Also We're using Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.0
    created the process using Workbench
    the form was reader enabled and saved as a dynamic PDF.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Ok have done the binding of the schema to the form, and I'm getting the information to flow as it's supposed to.  The problem I'm having now, (I know I'm having a bunch.) is that once I've placed the form into my process, and I use the set value operation to pre-fill information I get the form to flow, but the rest of the information that was previously filled in is blank.  So I have checked the variable and nothing wrong there.  It appears the problem is how I'm using the set value operation.  If I don't use the set value operation, the form retains it's information.  And if I use the set value by trying to set the subform value, the form retains it's information, but no pre-fill.  I'm going to try to be a little more detailed here.  The xml that is returned looks like this:
            0016-03-30
            Mike
            Public Works
            alone in the dark
            Type sleep
            -1
            Council
            FYI
            Important
    Flowed and positioned are actual subforms on the form that have their properties set as their names indicates.  The entire path is /form1/Page1/flowed/positioned .  The way I was able to get the form to flow correctly upon the injection of this xml data, was to bind the subforms in the form in this manner, positioned[*].  Designer didn't place the [*] for me so I had to do this myself.  But once I previewed the document, the form pre-populated and created the necessary number of subforms and placed information into the fields correctly.
    Now on the process side, I have created an xfaform variable that stores the form (bound to xsd.)  information, and another xml variable that stores the query return that looks like the xml listed above (has an xsd associated with it for navigating xpath).  My first operation performs the query (JDBC- Query Multiple Rows as XML) and stores it into the xml variable.  The next step of the process is the Set Value operation which is supposed to inject the xml data retrieved from the query into the form.  Initially I tried the an xpath similar to the following:
    /process_data/object/data/form1/page1/flowed/positioned = /xml_data/flowed/positioned.
    No dice.  On this one the form retains the information filled out by the user (didn't explain this earlier, the form is filled out first, and upon submittal the process starts.), but doesn't pre-populate the bottom part of the form.  Next I tried the following xpath:
    /process_data/object/data/form1/page1/flowed = /xml_data/flowed/positioned.
    This time it retained the form information which was filed in by the user, but the bottom part is becomes hidden!  Didn't understand this.  But I started to kinda think that I had to navigate he xpath in order to correctly inject the xml into the form.  That being said my next attempt was:
    /process_data/object/data/form1/page1 = /xml_data
    My thinking was that if on location, I stop at page1, the xml in the variable will allow it to navigate correctly through the form.  Well it worked, but too well.  The top part of the form is blank, but the bottom portion is pre-populated correctly.  Now I'm stuck.  Not sure how to get the rest of the information in the form.  I thought about creating variables form each of the fields and then re-populating them after the injection of xml, but that didn't seem practical.  I'm almost positive it's something I'm not doing correctly with xpath.  Anyway, thanks for all your help on this.

  • How can I make Xml mapping a little easier

    Hello,
    I am using Xcelsius for a project that is constantly being deployed to different environments. When deploying to different environments I find myself constantly having to go back and do the following:
    1. Change my  xml  map in my excel document
    2. Re-import the excel file into xcelsius
    3. Re-publish my swf.
    My main question is whether I need to do all this when my xml doc has changed physical locations. Is there a way I can make this a little more dynamic?
    Thx

    An idea is to put the address/path into a cell. 
    The cell will have several objects accessing it:
    1) The <Connection> will "know" which file to load from where (rather than a hard coded path)
    2) A <text input> object via which you may edit the cell and thereby re-defining the data source location for the connection
    One little caveat: whenever you load the swf file the "cell" will hold the pre-determined/hard-coded path value and you will have to edit it before you can get going.  You may try circumvent that by using a <Scenario> button and thereby storing the path name.  As long as you don't re-export your xlf the scenario values will be there for you.  That will save you some typing.  At the end of all that, you will be able to control the source location from within the dashboard albeit not entirely "automatic", but definitely without "rebuilding" the swf file.
    Hope this helps

  • Creating multiple connection factories from deployed RAR

    Hi
              I'm using WL Server V8.1 sp4 and have successfully deployed my Connector
              Module (RAR) using the Builder tool.
              Within the Builder I can specify default connection properties in the
              deployment descriptor. What I want though is the ability to define
              multiple connection factories with different properties without having
              to deploy/redeploy the RAR for every different connection configuration.
              I can't believe there is a 1-to-1 mapping between the RAR and connection
              factory settings. I've seen that there's a <ra-link-ref> tag available
              in the weblogic-ra.xml but I can't see how to use this?
              Any advice on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.
              Cheers
              Chris
              

    Hi
              I've had some success but am still confused by the way WLS requires
              second and subsequent connection factories to be created.
              It appears you create a CF within the weblogic-ra.xml deployment
              descriptor using the <map-config-property> tags. All other properties
              are inherited from the settings within ra.xml (we have them set blank).
              If there is no weblogic-ra.xml then a default is created at RAR deploy
              time. We can modify settings and redeploy the resource adapter using the
              supplied Builder tool. There appears to be a limit on what is possible
              with this tool to create CF instances though. It doesn?t seem possible
              to enter config properties here to appear within the weblogic-ra.xml.
              There are fields to allow entry of the CF name and the RA link reference
              though. (This seems strange that it doesn?t provide full flexibility).
              In order to create a CF a certain amount of manual work is required. You
              need to hand modify the weblogic-ra.xml to specify the connection
              properties you want. Then the file has to be added to RAR file for
              deployment using the jar command.
              A second or subsequent CF must also be prepared in a similar way ? the
              properties are defined in weblogic-ra.xml but this time there is no need
              to redeploy a complete RAR file. We can link to the defaults and classes
              provided in the original deployment. This is done using the
              <ra-link-ref> and specifying the connection-factory-name of the original
              RAR. This new RAR only needs ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml to deploy so we
              can remove any jar files containing code. However, this cannot be done,
              it seems, from the Builder tool.
              I am concerned it seem to be a lot of manual work and, in particular,
              editing of the rar files we provide to our customers. Does anyone know
              of a better way of achieving multiple CF instances without going through
              this process?
              Regards
              Chris

  • Xcelsius Dashboard on SAP R/3 Table using BSP and XML Mapping

    Hi Experts,
    I have developed a simple dashboard on small data set (10 records) that I am fetching from a R/3 Table into BSP and generating XML from there and consuming it in Xcelsius (SAP R/3 + BSP + XML Mapping).
    Now I want to fetch data based on Variables values that should be passed from the dashboard at the runtime and should display the data  accordingly. Any help on how it can be achieved?
    Thanks..!!
    Sharad

    Hi,
    You could try doing this by using XML data connection. You would have to make use of Enable load to get the data from XML and Enable send to send data back to XML from dashboard.
    This would require you to write a script.
    Thanks,
    Amit

  • My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

    My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.  I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
    I am so dissatisfied with this printer.  I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it.  I will never buy another Canon.
    The printer menus are confusing.  I hate using it.  I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model.  Never again.  Stick with cameras.
    Marcy Hotz

    This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
    Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer.  I deleted all the old stuff.
    I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
    When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which).  So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
    It works now.  So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching.  I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

  • Multiple domains via DHCP (option 15)

    It seems Mac OS X (I use 10.4.10 but I suspect it affects many versions) is incompatible with receiving multiple domain names in a single string over DHCP Option 15.
    If DHCP returns Option 15 with "exampledomain.com eng.exampledomain.com", then any lookup (using dig, ping, Microsoft Entourage, etc.) of a non-fully qualified domain name will fail.
    You can see this in the /etc/resolv.conf file, which contains:
    domain exampledomain.com eng.exampledomain.com
    nameserver 10.X.X.1
    nameserver 10.X.X.2
    I know that putting multiple domains within the same "domain" option in DHCP is a proprietary hack but some networks still use this. Has anybody run into this and have they found a good resolution to make Mac OS X work with multiple domains?

    While a single mailbox can be configured to receive on multiple addresses (called "proxy addresses" or "aliases"), the mailbox is configured with only one primary SMTP address (outbound address).  So if your requirement is to send
    as the received address, you would not be able to do that with a single mailbox through normal means.
    Some people have developed a workaround to the above limitation by configuring Outlook to use multiple POP3 accounts for a single mailbox.  See this link for additional details: 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/hot/archive/2012/04/26/how-to-add-an-alias-to-an-office-365-account-and-how-to-set-up-outlook-to-send-email-messages-as-this-alias.aspx
    I would also be sure to look at the client requirements for Exchange Online.  The supported version of Outlook is going to be Outlook 2010 SP2.  Older versions may work but would not be supported.  Outlook 2003 would at best possibly
    connect via POP3.

  • List View Bound to XML Map Data

    HI Have a list view that is bound to xml mapped data.  It seems that on connection refresh that new data is not being updated into the SWF.  My Binding is directly onto the cell ranges that are mapped into excel, so on updates the size of the maped table changes/rewrites over the old data.
    When I refresh I am not picking up the newest data in the list view.  Any thoughts on this on how I can fix.
    Regards,
    Mark

    Thank you Ganesh, but I am not on Enterprise edition.  I am successfully bringing in live xml data, however mapping more than one Query result from one xml file is giving my project some problems.  Refreshing a list View I think is causing this issue.  From within my project in design view I can Refresh the data.
    When I publish the file to html/SWF when I refresh other components are refreshing but the list view and one other is not refreshing.....
