URL link in Xcelsius (to trigger WEBI report)

I have a url button in the Xcelsius that load a WEBI report on the same server with the following url path.
http://cg01:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?..............
We have 3-tier systems, so when I migrate the xcelsius from one server to another server, I need to manually change the server name 'cg01' respectively.
Is there a way I do not need to change the server name every time I do the migration or how to make the 'server name' dynamically change?
Thank you.

Hi Alex
Yes there is, just remove the http://<servername> part to give
/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?..............
Remember though that this will only work from within InfoView.

URL link in rows/colomns of a report web application designer.

Hi,
I would like to create a URL link in a report which jumps to documents on livelink.
For example:
1. bw    30.000    www. google.nl
2. sap   40.000    www. sap.com
3. basis 50.000   www. nu.nl
etc.
etc.
Do all the rows have different URLS, is that possible in the web application designer? Or do I have to use RRI? Or a user exit?
Thanks for your help en replies.
Rishma.
Edited by: R. Debi on Oct 7, 2010 11:20 AM

I used the RRI already but would like to have a hyperlink in the report. (So, the prefix of the URL is always the same an I have put this in RRI and used the & and contract ID as dynamic part of the URL.)
In a BW web report, our customer would like to display a characteristic value as a hyperlink, so that when clicking on the link, the user is taken to an external website holding a document. SO I am just looking for a javascript perhaps? Or maybe even abap in transformation? To actually create the hyperlink in this report.
Thanks a lot,
Rishma

Syntax for passing Xcelsius parameters to Webi Report (Drill Down)

Hi,
I am trying to drilldown from an Xcelsius chart to a webi report by passing the prompts. And I have given the following syntax:
http://<CMS SERVER>:<PORT>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<DOCID>&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&mode=full&lsSCalendarYear/Month=JAN2009&&lsSBusiness+Category=
Corporate.
When I click on the chart in Xcelsius, it opens the webi report in a new window. First & foremost, it asks me to login again(this is during testing from the Xcelsius application itself and I am not sure this would happen when I publish the dashboard to BOBJ infoview server). And then in the Webi report, it is showing the prompts screen, instead of directly accepting the passed on values and displaying the report. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone please help?

Hi, Kalyan!
I do not know exactly what the problem of your URL/syntax is, but I know that I successfully managed to call a WebI report out of an Xcelsius dashboard. So, let's have a look at my URL/syntax:
http://<CMS SERVER>:<PORT>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
iDocID=<ID>&
sIDType=CUID&
sRefresh=Y&
lsSCountryKey=DE&
So, the differences are:
-> I use the WebI report's CUID and I put this ID type ("CUID") into the URL: "...&sIDType=CUID&..."
-> I do not use "sType" and "mode"
-> The rest, i.e. the report's specific parameters/prompts - all starting with lsS... is the same.
As I said before: I do not know if there is a relevant difference, but why not giving it a try...?

Can I make a url link from my logo in web gallery?

I'm in LR 1.
I have a logo in the upper left in web gallery.
Can I make a url link?
Pity that clients can see the logo but cannot link to the url. thanks.

The ability to link html and flash web pages has been in LR since version 1. More specifically 1.4.1, which was the last version of LR 1.
The link, in the case of Flash galleries is placed in the box called Web or Mail link and will link from the text placed in the Contact info. In Html galleries the link can also be placed in the id plate. Many downloadable galleries have more sophisticated linking systems although some of them will not work in LR 1.4.1 (most will). Do a search for Lightroom Galleries as there are a lot about, or visit the Lightroom Exchange. All are either free or have trial versions (as does LR 3 which you can try for 30 days before buying)

Embedding Xcelsius in WEBI report

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to embed Xcelsius Flash in WEBI report? I know that we need to use iframe syntax but can anyone give me exact steps and syntax of the same?
Thanks,
Shweta

In WebI, follow below steps:
1. Click the cell in which you want the gauge to appear.
2. Type in the following text (adjust to your needs) into the formula toolbar:
=u201D<iframe height=u2019150pxu2019 width=u2019150pxu2019 frameborder=u20190u2032 src=u2019../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=27792&lsSlowerThreshold=0.00&lsSmiddleThreshold=0.95&lsSupperThreshold=1.00&lsSupperBoundary=1.20&lsScurrentValue=u201D[webi_Value]u201Du2018></iframe>u201D
4. The [webi_Value] refers to the variable that holds the value you want to pass to the gauge as the currentValue. Replace this with your own variable.
5. Replace 27792 with your own ID of the swf object [ID is 27792 (by pointing my mouse at the arrow to the left of the swf object in my infoview folder)]
6. Adjust the thresholds and boundary values to suit your needs.
Thank You!!

Link Webi Report to External URL using URL contained in Dim Object

I am trying to create a link in my WebI report to an external URL which is stored in a Dimension object.
The object is simply a string format which contains a link to a Lotus Notes database
Example:
Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255
When I put the link into Internet Explorer I get the appropriate Lotus Notes databse, however, when trying the same in WebI using the following formula:
="<a href=[Notes url1] target='_blank'>Test</a>"
I get the following URL when clicking the link from InfoView
http://auyhoz04.an.orica.net:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/viewers/cdz_adv/[Notes%20url1]
If I hardcode the URL into WebI
="<a href='Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255' target='_blank'>Test</a>"
It works without a problem.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple...is anyone able to help?

Nathan,
When you build a URL on the fly it requires a certain way to encapsulate everything. Here is another way for you to try it:
="<a href="+Char(34)+[Notes url1]+" target='_blank'>Test"+Char(34)+"</a>"
Plz note the use of Char(34) which generates a double-quote. This method should help you with getting a dynamic product delivered to your audience.
Thanks,
John

Open the WebI report from Xcelsius dashboard

Hi All,
I would like to know how to open the WebI report from the xcelsius dashboard.
Looking at the previous posts I followed the following steps to implement the same but that is not working.
Inserted the component URL button and used the folowing link:
http://servername/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sIDType=XXX
But this is givingerre: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
Also, tried the copying the reprot link, but that is opening the Infoview login page.
I want the report to opened when we click the URL button.
Could someone please provide me a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sindhu

did you try passing the iDocID parameter? When prompted did you try to login to InfoView and check whether Report gets displayed?
Ideally the URL should be as below:
[http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<cuid_of_the_document>]
If you want to bypass the logon screen,you need to modify the OpenDocument.jsp to pass logon token to the above URL i.e.token=+token where the +token is being retrieved by sdk.

How to pass parameter from xcelsius report to WebI report

Hi,
I have a pie chart in xcelsius. When user clicks on one of the slices of the chart I want to pass the selected slice value to a WebI report.
For this I am doing following steps
1. When user clicks on a chart slice the selected slice value will be written into a cell say B1
2. Create a URL button which will get triggered on change of the value of cell B1.
3. Set the URL value in the cell say C2. Here I am using Opendoc function to open Webi report.
If I enter following value in C2 and run the report it works fine and opens the desired webi report.
="http://myServer.xyz.com:9001/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision=" &$B$1
here I am Passing two parameters Company and Decision.
Now I want to make this report run in all the environment so I changed the actual path of server( myServer.xyz.com:9001) to following
="../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision=" &$B$1
but if I do this it gives me following error in Webi:
"Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address."
Is there any other way to open the WebI report from xcelsius?

Hi Peter,
the link provided refers to Xcelsius V4.5.
In Xcelsius 2008 you have to control Flash Vars in the Data Manager.
Go to the Data Manager, Add the Flash-Var Connection Type, Select CSV-FlashVar and define a name and a range.
But i am not sure if Xcelsius Engage can handle FlashVars, because i am only working with Enterprise.
Please take a look at your manual.
For sure there are other ways to import data during runtime. Take a Look at the Connections provided by Data Manager. (e.g. QaaWS, SSRS, LiveOffice, Webservices, ...)
Also take a look at the link below. It might be another nice option for "pseudo" data connectivity

Passing hierachy node variable from BW to BO Webi Report in open doc link

Hello All,
We are working on BW-BO integration and creating Webi reports based on Bex queries.
The question is regarding passing of a hierachy node value from BW to BO through open doc link.
I see that when we pass hierarchy node value, we have to associate that with the corresponding infoobject technical name in the link but not sure in what format it has to be sent.
For example, if ARM is the node value and 0HIERNODE is the infoobject , how should we send this value to BO.
Please help.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Tangudu S

You cannot change anything here. You should really find out how the values are retrieved from the database
THere is another option:
1) Activate the tracing on your BOBJ server
Check the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes) for that:
Unix: Note 1235111
Windows: Note 1260004
2) Run your WebI report from the InfoView by choosing first the desired hierachy node value from the LOV of your prompt.
3) Extract the MDX statement from the log file. It should contain the value for the hierarchy node. Copy this to the URL
It is easier to find this out if you have access to a Crystal Reports Designer installation. Do you?

Encode & in Opendoc link to open a webi report

Hello,
We are trying to launch a webi reports from a dashboard and we are using URL (opendoc command)
One of the parameters is called the company name which has an & sign eg ( ABC & Associates).
When we try to run the webi report it never populates the data because of the name containng an &. We did try to convert the & to a %26. However this resulted in Xcelsius converting our % sign to a %25 giving us a final value of a %2526.
Is there a function available to encode the URL to solve this issue
AP

Hi,
Are you using Xcelsius 2008? Then the URL will be encoded automatically.
If you are using Xcelsius 4.5, then you will have to write a simple jsp (using java.net.URLEncoder.encode), and then use "XML data" data connectivity to connect to this jsp.
Hope this helps,
Bobby
