Deepu

I just talked to a SAP representative and he informed me that you cannot load a Excel spreadsheet using Live Office from the BO Enterprise while in Xcelsius. Basically that button in Xcellsius should have been grayed out. It is mentioned in the Xcelisus 2008 Release Notes.

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?

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.

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.

QAAWS and Live Office together to fetch data on a dashboard

Hello
1.)Can you create multiple queries in the QAAWS and use it on a single dashboard, and how do you fire multiple queries
2) can all the queries be fired at the same time for the dasbboard to be functional or does it fire one query at a time.
3.) Can you create a combination of QAAWS and Live Office queries and create your dashboard.
4.) If I have 5 selection or combo boxes, Is it mandatory to create a row for each selection variation. Or do you have to select the filtered comoboxes as columns in the spreadsheet.
6) In excel how do you arrange data, if 3 items are regular filter components, while the remaining two items are comboboxes with filtered row values
7) Is it possible to create 4 queries based on 4 different universes and join the result set in the dashboad.
5.) Do you have any example of the same.
Thanks

Hi Abhijit Patil
A lot of questions
1) Yes you can. You can fire them on the same cell changing or on time intervals
2) The queries can be fired as the same time, the query response time will be effected by the query complexity, the capacity of the web server, the capacity of your web intelligence processing
3) Yes - I have a problem with 3.0 when displaying through BI Widgets, it asks me to log in even though I am already logged on to widgets, but other than that they are fine
4) Not sure
6) It is down to you how you do it. You should look at Everything Xcelsius or the Xcelsius portal for best practices
7) Yes, you will bring all the data back and then combine them how you like. Alternatively you can merge them in a Web I document and bring them already merged into the dashboard, (which might save you on soem data volume.
8) I would not be in a position to share the samples as they contain sensitive data

Xcelsius and Live Office

Hi,
please can you help me about this?
How can I pass the last refreshed instance of a WebI report to a live office connection?
I need to schedule a WebI report, let's say everynight, and to use the last instance as a data source for a dashboard (via Live Office)
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Franzi,
This is actually the default behaviour I think. Have you read the manual?
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_lo_user_en.pdf
It explains it all quite well.
I'd highly recommend looking into BI Services as they're faster and easier to work with than Live Office. There's a comparison here: http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/live-office-vs-qaaws-vs-bi-services.html
Hope that helps.

BICS vs Webi thru Live office

Dear Experts,
We have a requirements to build couple of Dashboards on Sales activities based on different various selectors based on Material, Customer, Sales Area and Time Dimensions..
We are using Xcelsisus 2008 and XI R3.1 SP3.
I would like to know your recommendations on solution..
Whether to build Dashboards
on scheduled webi reports connected thru Liveoffice
or
Connect directly to BEX thru BICS ?
Any mix-solution ( Webi for transaction data and BICS for master data (materials, customers etc..) used for selectors)
Thank you in advance.

Xcelsius and Live Office Scheduling - Performance

Hi,
I have couple of webi reports and i am using live office to insert data in to excel file and thus to xcelsius. All my webi reports are scheduled to run at midnight everyday.
On my xcelsius file the live office connections are set to refresh on load to get the updated information. My xcelsius file is taking 10 seconds to open with these live office connections set to refresh on load. If i dont have any of these connections set to refresh on load then it only takes 3 seconds to load. I want to achieve this performance of 3 secs.
Is it possible to schedule my xcelsius file (that is i want to load the updated webi report data onto the xcelsius file and generate a swf file before start of business. Is it possible to schedule this?
Any tips to improve performance?
Regards
Jith

Hi Hunain,
After you have inserted the WEBI report in the excel file, go to live office object properties choose the object in left pane and go to refresh tab in the right and click edit, check the option which you have set is lates instance and the user in drop down is what you want.
In xcelsius file after you have imported the data(The above excel file) go to data - connections. I hope you have added your live office connection, if not say add live office connection and you shall see your live office connection. Check wether you hve set your session url. In usage tab, you shall choose Refresh on load.
This is process to view latest instance and performance vice it will not take more than 1 to 2 seconds per connection. If your dashboard is still slow, then i would say it is due to some thing else.
Viewing latest instance dosent run your WEBI report and hence shall not take longer. Refresh on load option might take longer time if your webi report is large and takes time to run.
In your xcelsius file, How many objects are you using? What is the size of your xlf file? Do have any Complex logic in your xcel file?
Regards,
Jithendra

Potential Bug with LabVIEW 2009, Report Generation Toolkit, and MS Office 2003

We have discovered an issue with the above listed software. Specifically this pertains to Print Report.vi in the Report Gen palette. Basically, we have discovered that with Office 2003 installed the VI will error out. We've been using it in an executable, and the executable physically fails (and asks us to report an error to Microsoft). With Office 2007 we don't have a problem. We've tried building the examples into executables, and those work because they are printing HTML reports.
Also, we have converted back to LabVIEW 8.6 and rebuilt the executable and installed and it works perfectly. Its on the combination of LabVIEW 2009 and Office 2003 that seems to fail.

yeah, we had seen that, and been told about it by another user. we tried, to no avail. we still have ended up having to migrate back to 8.6.1 to get the executable to run properly.

Live Office does not retain the Custom Sorting applied in a Webi report

Hi,
We have a Webi report in which we applied "Custom Sorting" to sort the Business Names in the required order. However, when we import that to excel using live office, excel doesnt retain the same format and there are not much options that are available within xcelsius to do the sorting. I have gone through various posts here but none resolved this specific issue.
Here is our environment:
Xcelsius 4.5
Live Office Frame work 11.5.5.525
BOXI R2 SP1 and MHF1
I tried using different options under "Report View formatting" within live office options but none seem to have made any difference. Unfortunately we can't make any changes to the universe in this case. I checked for few paid addon's but they seem to be for Xcelsius 2008. We have a release next week and would appreciate if any of you can guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks
Pavan

hi pavan
i can just tell you that i had no issues with custom column sorting in webi with Enterprise XI 3.0 and Xcelsius 2008.

Excel Download of a Web SAP BW Report asks userid and password.please help

Dear BW folks,
Issue: When I run a specific SAP BW Report from Web and download the same into excel & csv.
When I open the excel file downloaded, it asks me user name and password to enter. csv file downloaded doesn't ask.
The report has 0cust_sales hierarchy and SBU hierarchy.
Is there any thing to do with these hierarchies that the excel download is asking user name and password?
Please help me out!!!!! This report needs to be downloaded into excel sent to my manager.....
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan
It is possible,please refer the below link
Report execution without prompting user id
Providing un-secured access to a web report.
Also, for the time being, you can run the query and save a workbook and sent across
These will resolve the issue
Thanks

Live Office Document not opening in Excel

Post Author: fblau
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I have installed Live Office and I can connect to my CMS and my reports are visible. When I try and import one it goes through several dialogs of "Importing Report" and "Updating Data" but then it just returns to the Select Report screen and never actually OPENS the report. It feels to me like a display/control permission thing... but I have completely disabled my Symantec Firewall and I still have the same problem Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
