SAP NetWeaver BI Connections - Xcelsius 2008 - XI 3.1 Enterprise

Dear Xcelsius experts,
We would like to use "SAP NetWeaver BI Connections" connecting SAP BI Queries directly in Xcelsius 2008,  we read in "Xcelsius2008_user_guide_en" that there is this new connection available.
Our Xcelsius 2008 is connected in a BO XI 3.1 Enterprise, but this connection is not available. 
How to show and use this new connection type to read SAP BI queries directly ?
Best regards,
Mauro.

  • SAP Netweaver BI Connection in Xcelsius is not working

    Hello,
    we use Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3 and we would like to connect to a BW Query directly (SAP BW 7.0 EHP1 SP6).
    In Xcelsius I can choose Data > Connections > SAP Netweaver BI Connection and I can logon to the SAP system and then select the BW query.
    But after that no query elements are shown in the Input and Output Values (nothing happens I just have empty Input and Output Values).
    What can I do that I see the query elements?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Karin

    Hi,
    The pdf in the following link clearly explains the required Autherization objects for XC on BW.

  • Using 2 data (SAP Netweaver BW) connections in Xcelsius dashboard

    I have a situation when using 2 data (SAP Netweaver BW) connections in Xcelsius dashboard.
    Break-down of issue:
    I have a toggle button in our Sales dashboard which displays Top Ten Customers versus Bottom Ten Customers.  I use the value of the toggle button to trigger the data connections.  When a user clicks the toggle button for Top Ten Customers the value of the toggle button would be a 1 which would trigger a BW query to capture sales data for the Top Ten Customers.  When a a user clicks the toggle button for Bottom Ten Customers the value of the toggle button would be a 0 which would trigger a BW query to capture sales data for the Bottom Ten Custoemrs.  NOTE: all the key figures in both querys use a scaling factor of 1000.  So for example, if invoiced sale has a value of 100,000 the scaling factor of a 1000 would display this key figure with a value of a 100.  The issue I am having with the dashboard is when I click the toggle botton for the Top ten Customers, the value shows as 100 and if i click the toggle button for Bottom ten Customers the value would show as 100,000.  I need the toggle button to show the values using the scaling factor coming from the BW queries for both Top Ten Customers and Bottom Ten Customers. It's only using the 1000 scaling factor coming from the Top Ten Customers.
    Any help on this issue would be graetly appreciated... 
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi, I get both. I think the errors are connected. On the one hand it is not possible to create any SAP NetWeaver BW connection, because you cannot enter the connection details- just as in the screen above. The only option you have is to use the "browse" button, but then the blank error appears.
    When trying to open a Dashboard from Portal you have to use SAP->Open and then SAP GUI should appear, but here I get the error "Could not open from SAP" instead. I have installed BEx and SAP GUI of course, reinstalled all of them two times just as recommended above, also reinstalled MS Excel, Flash, Java. Furthermore I tried to repair the installation and to change between different editions, personal, departmental etc.
    In the meantime I think it should not be possible at all to connect to BW with the departmental license key. Can somebody confirm that?

  • Error #2032 when using SAP NetWeaver BI Connection

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use to new SAP NetWeaver BI Connection in Xcelsius SP2, but when I try to connect to a BEx Query, I receive error #2032.
    I have a crossdomain.xml file in the Tomcat root of the BO-server, and the Adobe Global Security Settings are also filled in with all directories of my BO-server.
    Has someone an idea why this error occurs, and how to solve it?
    I'm working on Sap NetWeaver 7.0.1 SP5.
    Lieven

    We are using in total 6 different clients with Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise SP2. With two of them we can use SAP NetWeaver BI Connection and do not receive any error. The rest is showing the error message #2032.
    There is one difference between the systems which are working and the ones which are not:
    After selecting the query in the BI NetWeaver Connection there is an additional popup "Windows security" appearing.
    --> The server sapbw100.xxxx at BicsRemote/Config1 requires a username and password.
    Filling in the username and password the data from the query appear in the xcelsius.
    With the clients which provide an error there is no such popoup.
    If we create on an existing installation an .xlf file and open it on one which is not working, the Data Managers show the correct connection. As soon as we click on refreshing data, error #2032 appears.
    System configuration clients:
    Windows XP and Windows 7
    Office 2007
    SAP Business Explorer Patch 1001
    Regarding the working clients:
    One is working on XP the other on Windows 7
    Both on Xcelsius 5.2.0.0
    Installing the FixPatch for SP2 is also not helping to solve the problem.
    All the inputs in this thread have been tested but without sucess. Till now we could not install note 1380059 since related notes are not yet released.

  • Error 2032 in SAP Netweaver BI Connection

    I am using an xcelsius dashboard through a BICS connection. I am able to connect to a BEx query and publish this dashboard to SAP BW system. I also able to launch this dashboard in IE and everything works fine for next 30 min. I am able to go to multiple tabs in the dashboard and trigger various queries etc. However, after exactly 30 min, I get the error 2032. The exact error text says:
    An error has occurred.
    For more information, contact the file creator or your system administrator.
    Error: Error #2032
    Connection Type: SAP NetWeaver BI Connection
    I am unable to find any such settings on the BW server side which can break the connection after 30 min. Also, BO is not involved as it's published on BW server itself. So, I am confused about what could be the reason and how to fix it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards
    Akhilesh

    Hi All,
    We were getting the same issue (Error #2032, while connecting to Bex query from DashboardDesign tool, "The First Post"),
    The issue got resolved by installing  "patch 14 for DashboardDesign 4.0 SP2".
    You guys can try the same.
    Thanks

  • SAP Netweaver BI Connection

    Hi,
    When I integrate a BEx report with Xcelsius via "SAP Netweaver BI Connection", dashboards can only be published to portal.
    Is there any chance to use them locally (e.g. pdf, swf)?
    Thanks,
    Erdem

    Hi  Michel,
    i got the same "COM Exception".
    Our BI application server belongs to a restricted network. We can only access through SAProuter service.
    I changed the SAPString field of my BI entry:
    Original SAP GUI entry:
    Application server: 192.0.0.194
    SAPString: /H/paquito.elchocolatero.local/H/
    New SAP GUI entry:
    Application server: /H/paquito.elchocolatero.local/H/ 192.0.0.194
    SAPString:
    With the original one, it tried to connect to the Application Server directly. It didn't use the SAP String field. With the new one, i forced to use it.
    It worked for us. Maybe a XCelsius bug. We are using the XCelsius SP3.
    Kind regards,
    Raul.

  • 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
    Integration Kit SP3Fix Pack 3.2
    SAP GUI 720
    Xcelsius 2008 SP4
    It was working good with SAP Authentication when using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3.5
    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)

  • SAP NetWeaver BW Connection not working for SBOP4.0

    Hello Experts,
    Following are the steps & current patches:
    SBOP 4.0
    Dashboard Design , version: 6.0.0.0
    SAP Logon
    Release : 720
    Patch: 5
    1. SAP BW  & NetWeaver Portal are not SSO(Single Sign-on)
    2. I open the Dashboard Designer
    3. Click on "Manage Connection"
    4. Select 'SAP NetWeaver BW Connection'
    5. It pops-up the Log-on screen
    6. Pass on the required information
    7. Use the  query browser & selected the query
    8. it takes the query with no error message
    Issue:
    1. It is not showing the Input values & Output values 
    Not able to display the BW Bex Query element using Dashboard Designer - SAP NetWeaver BW Connection.
    Please let me know if we are missing any config. or step.
    Thanks
    Mahendra

    Thanks Amit for your suggestions. I tried the below steps & still it is not working:
    1. re-installed Adobe version 10.1
    2. Tried to connect the BW Bex query using SAP NetWeaver BW connection.
    3. I am getting no error but Dashboard designer is not able to display the Input values & Output values of the BW BEx query
    As I had mentioned you earlier that when I open the Bex report using the designer using the IE, it calls the portal window & I have to enter the LDAP password then the report opens in the portal.
    So I think as our BW & portal are not configured as SSO so when the Dashboard designer tried to load the query from the xml file it fails. It may be because it required my LDAP login credentials.
    Please let me know your suggestions.
    Thanks
    Mahendra

  • Xcelsius connectivity while using SAP Netweaver BI Connection

    Dear All,,
    Any Help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    Step by Step replication of the issue
    1.     Start Xcelsius
    2.     Go to u201CManage Connectionu201D

    9.     Error #2032 displayed
    We refered Note 1408384 for the issue. When we call the Web Service BicsRemote from WsNavigator, it prompts for a userID and Password.
    On providing the administrator ID and Pwd the WebService returns the version successfully.
    Thankx in advance.
    Regds,
    Srini

    Check Note 1484847 (implement crossdomain.xml on your Netweaver and add an entry with the name and IP Address of your BW server into the hosts file residing on the workstation your XCelsius Designer runs on).
    If you have a federated portal the check this:
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1408354
    If you are using SSL (https) on the Netweaver you have to install FP 3.3 on your XCelsius client.
