Scheduling dashboard or flash file

Hello expert,
I want to design a WEBI report including multiple tables and a line chart. I want to implement this line chart in xcelsius , and combine it with WEBI in dashboard builder or I can directly develop this report wholly in XCELSIUS.
No matter what approach I take, I need to chedule the result report somewhere, and periodically send the report to my client. but for flash file from xecelsius and dashboard file from dashboard builder, how can I implement this scheduling function?

hi,
As per my knowledge, there is no scheduling feature available for dashboard developed either from 'Dashboard Builder' or 'Xcelsius'.
If you develop the entire content in WEBI, only then you will be able to schedule.

Vamsee

Flash file with trancparency as dashboard widget

trancparency only works for pictures on lower layers but not for the
desktop background
the picture "Default.png" behind the flash file is partial visible
but the widget has a 200 x 200 pixel black background,
areas without pictures on lower layers are black
<embed src="a.swf" quality="high" width="200" height="200"
align="right" wmode="transparent"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
#image { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:200px;
height:200px; z-index:1; }
#flash { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:200px;
height:200px; z-index:2; }

I would guess that Flash is not respecting the alpha layer in your background. Flash does its own rendering, so it's the likely culprit.
However, you may want to double check with other Dashboard developers. The best places to ask are Apple's own Dashboard listserv (dashboard-dev at lists.apple.com) and the forums at dashboardwidgets.com.
Good luck!

Error while using Image component to display a child flash file

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius version 4.5. I used the "Image Component" to import a child flash file(.swf) into the parent flash file.
I gave the path "D:\246024\Loblaw\Dashboard Docs\New Folder\trend input.swf" in the general tab of the image component.
After exporting the .xlf into a flash file , it works fine in the system in which i created it. If i open the same flash file in any other system the parent file opens but the child flash file imported through the image component is not displayed.
Please help me out in solving this issue
Thanks
Anitha

yes, you will face the same problem as its still looking for the path of the swf.
you need to have the SWF on specific location which is accessable by the Parent SWF
usually web page or something which is accessable for all.
good luck

Create two or more flash files from one (Excel) data source

Hi experts,
I have the following requirement about Xcelsius.
Our data source is a relational database. Via the ODBC driver we manage to create several queries and execute them into Microsoft Excel. Those excel sheets are the basic for the Xcelsius reports.
Now we want to build some highly visualized reports on that, but the crucial fact is. We don't want to have all the reports in one FlashFile, but we need several flash file depending on the area of the queries.
Hence our requirement would be one of the following points:
- create multiple flash files from one .xlf
- create multiple .xlf from data source
Another requirement is the automatic execution of the process. We don't want to have a person in between, who has to call all the .xlf files to create the Flash reports step by step. What we need is an automatic process.
Can this requirement be fulfilled in a way?
Maybe by using the Xcelsius SDK?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Sebastian,
Firstly talking about the important requirement i.e. automating the process:
In your case you can achieve this by using the XML maps. This will pick the data automatically when ever report is refreshed.
Secondly, both the approaches are correct, however i would go with the first one.
1. Create multiple flash files from one .xlf
You just need to create one dashboard and have a filter on areas (Invisible) and then export to flash (for every area).
2. Create multiple .xlf from data source
This approach is also fine, however you need to create multiple dashboards and do the same thing i.e filter data based on area.
P.S. Did you get a chance to explore options to integrate Xcelsius with your Relational Database, this will be much effective.

PDF with flash files

i am trying to convert PPT files that have embedded flash videos to PDF format with ACROBAT 9 PRO -- but i'm running in to problems.
ideally i would like to just open the PPT file in POWERPOINT, and use the "convert to Adobe PDF" menu command. however, when i do this the resulting PDF does not have the flash videos -- where they should appear all i get is white space on the page. and i do have "convert multimedia" checked on in the settings dialog.
i have also tried re-creating the PPT within ACROBAT by using TOOLS | MULTIMEDIA | FLASH TOOL. that does indeed work, but then when i play the resulting PDF file, it takes forever for ADOBE READER to actually start the flash video. even on relatively fast computers, a flash file that takes less then 5 seconds to load in POWERPOINT will take 30+ seconds in READER. that's unacceptable -- and it's even worse on older, slower computers.
any ideas on how i can get the direct conversion to work, or how i can speed up the PDFs i'm creating from scratch?
lee

i just create a blank page and then use the flash tool to insert the file. i'm using all the default settings. the flash files themselves are created with a tool called Xcelsius ( http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/dashboards-visualization/index.epx ).

Disable .swf (Flash File) Generated as an Attch in Email Delivered byIBOT

.swf Adobe Flash file is generated when i am scheduling an IBOT to the user , In the IBOT i am delivering an Answers request and i can access the answers request and ATT288***.swf File is generated as an attachment , How can Disable that file from generating as an Email attachment.
Thanks
~Srix

Hi Srix,
All OBIEE chart objects are generated by Corda Popcharts. Corda generates charts using Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash file formats are .swf (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF'>Shockwave Flash</a>).
Does the report you're emailing have a chart object in it? My guess is that your report does have a chart object and that is the .swf attachment you are seeing.
If you do not want the .swf attachment, you can change the output format to pdf or other formats in the iBot.
Hope that helps!

InfoView can't add Flash Files

Hi Experts,
I have several questions about InfoView.
1. When I install BO Edge Client Tools there is no InfoView avaliable. How can I get this tool for my clients? I thought it's the interface to the customer to display reports, dashboards, etc. Isn't that right?
2. In InfoView (Server Side) I dont have any options to add WebI or Xcelsius Flash Files. Have I get an extra license key for that or install a update or hot fix pack?
Regards
Jan

Jan,
1. the Infoview is a web application when installed on the server side only, you can access the infoview just using a URL to your server
http://serverName:PortNumber/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
2. you can add webi reports and Xcelsius dashboards to the enterprise and access them from the infoview , there is no extra license needed for that. from the Xcelsisu tool you have just click "File-> expot-> Business Objects Platform"
for sure you have to have the credentials to access the infoview and export to the enterprise as well
u have to have a user name and password for the BO enterprise
if you dont have, ask your administrator to give it for you.
good luck

Or Is ther any way of loading html file (which have embed flash file) in the BOBJ server ?

Flash files with right click imported in dreamweaver files

Flash files created with Captivate which contain rightclick
functionality are imported to html files created in Dreamweaver. In
other words, I don't use the html created by Captivate but another
html file to build up a whole course. But now a couple of those
flash files contain a right click and obviously I have to adjust
the dreamweaver file with some of the script that William Heinz has
created. I am not an HTML expert and I am not 100% confident that I
can do with just endless try&error. Could anyone give me some
hints?
I suppose I need to use the second bit of William's article
"the more complex requirement".
When I insert the flash file this is what I get: (This is
where I am suppose to make the changes????)
<script type="text/javascript">

I am not sure what to do with the "<Body
onload='javascript:init()..... "etc as suggested by William.
Thanks for any advice on this!!!

I hope there is one person out there who can help me with
this issue.
I have started from scratch and created a blank html with
dreamweaver and inserted the flash file (with right click
animation) created with Captivate.
Then I made the adjustments as per Heinz and also included a
ID=Captivate1 as the RightClick.js refers to that.
The main difference between this html file and the html file
created with Captivate, is that the Captivate one also has
writedocument bit.
Anyway, is there anybody in the world who can give me
atip/hint/suggestion?????

I am unable to run flash files, I get an AIR error.

I get this Adobe AIR error: " This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance." I have reistalled AIR 3.3 and still am unable to run flash files.

No it's not. Read the description of the application:
"Bluetooth: Tokenlock can monitor any Bluetooth device to check if it is removed from range, such as your cellphone or a headset. Token lock checks periodically based on a schedule you choose to see if the Bluetooth device can still be seen. You can set different schedules based on whether or not your computer is plugged into power or is simply on battery to conserve battery power. The device does not have to be paired with your computer, allowing you to use just about any Bluetooth device - not just those that the computer supports."

Could not generate the flash file(SWF)

Hi all,
I am working with a Dashboard having a GMap plugin and it was working fine on BO server.
But now the plugin has been changed from GMap to CMaps plugin. I am able to download the same dashboard from BO Server to my desktop.
The snapshot of the warning I get while downloading the dashboard has been attached.
When downloaded from server, in place of displaying map on GMap plugin I get a warning "Invalid request this request is invalid" but when i open its properties the warning goes and the map appears back.
Then I tried to upload the same dashboard on BO Server and I get an error "Could not generate the flash file(SWF)...". The snapshot of the same has been attached.
I am unable to do any modification on this Dashboard.
Regards

Hi,
In your discussion,you have downloaded the dashboard file from the BO server to your desktop.
You can export the dashboard to BO Server in SWF format.But how can you download the physical dashboard file from BO server.Is it possible?
Do the changes in .xlf physical file and export the .xlf file to BO server as File-->Save to platform.

Merging 8 Flash Files

Hi,
There are 8 different flash files and all these flash files are being merged to a single PPT and this merged PPT is being sent for Users. As this involves repeated tasks, now there is a requirement to merge all these files to single dashboard. Each dashboard is having Panel Containers and there are many charts, tickers etc.
1. Is this possible to merge all these 8 different dashboard? How Can I merge? I assume the performance will be affected as there will be multiple connections. Any tips to have same performance after merging (as LO connections will be more tah 8)
2. I am thinking of using Next/Previous button options to link various dashboards, if first one fails. Which button to use to give link to another dashboard.
Could you please help
Regards, Nanda Kishore.

Hi Nanda,
It is very well possible to merge 8 separate dashboards into a single dashboard. Rather I would suggest you to call those dashboards into your main one (with the help on Image component or SWF loader with some workaround ). use a play control to give ti a dynamic display or use a next and previous button to navigate. Only problem with this approach is that every time you change it to next it will reload again (this might be annoying). To avoid this you can load all of the dashboards to separate image components an show or hide dip-pending on the value of the play-control or the button used for transition. Benefit is that it wont load again and again rather it will load all the dashboards at once, so initially it will take some time. See which one is the best possible solution for you.
As you said you can use buttons to dynamical display and hide the components or use the standard play control for the same.
Let us know if you need further clarification.
Good Luck.

Creation of flash file from Device Central failing

Hi,
I'm currently trying to create a new flash document from Device Central and the application is throwing the following error:
Cannot create new document. The xfl template document is either missing or corrupted.
I am also unable to test my flash files in Device Central via Test Movie.
This function was working fine until a couple of days ago.
Has anyone had any similar issues? I am running Master Collection CS5.5 for Mac.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

For anyone who has this problem in the future, I have managed to get it working again by doing a complete reinstall of Master Collection.

How do I use text to open two different flash files?

Basically I want to use a flash file, which requires you to enter text and a button to click. If I typed in 'Movie 1' and clicked enter, it should take me to 'Animation 1.swf', if I typed in 'Animation 2' it should take me to 'Animation 2.swf'.
I don't have the time to relearn flash completely even though I want to, I haven't used flash in about 3 years and really struggling to remember anything, hate being a novice
Thank you so much

Hi ,
As Ned suggested you could use something like this -
function startLoadingSwf()
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(<name of the swf which you are picking up from the text field - text_field.txt>);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
startLoadingSwf();
Hope that helps!
Thanks and Regards,
