Web Service in Xcelsius

Hi
i created a web service in rich client and used it in Xcelsius
the problem is that i get always the same valus even when editing th ws
and importing it again with an additional column i still see the old design
also when having a prompt in my ws i can not get it to work

Do you mean you created the web service in Query as a Web Service (QaaWS)? And then you edited the Query in QaaWS as well? Did you republish? Can you reopen the Query in QaaWS and see that it is updated. I woudl first make sure the Web Service really is updated.
Next, try creating a new data connection to the web service (you will have to remap everything anyway). Does it have the correct columns?
How are you connecting to your prompt? Is it mapped to a cell? How is that cell being updated?

Web service in Xcelsius is not working

Hi Experts,
I am new to Xcelsius. I have created Web service through WSCONFIG Tcode in SAP BI.
This Web service (WSDL) is working fine in portal. I have tried to connect it in Xcelsius through
DATA MANAGER -> Web service connection.
WSDL is imported here in Xcelsius and I have provided the credentials as well as infoprovider & query details in data manager screen.
I am not able to view the result here in Xcelsius (Version 2008) in excel spreadsheet or canvas .
Can someone explain what extra need to be done?
Thanks in advance.

Error in Web Service through Xcelsius

Hi guys...i have a problem...i have used a Web service through an xcelsius model and i try to execute ....the refresh on open works fine but when i try to call again the web service during execution it appears send the original value and obviously
obtain the same value forever....
I hope somebody could help me with this....
Regards

Hi Oscar,
Are your input values fixed, or are they set to change dynamically?
If you set the input values in the Web Service property sheet as a typed-in, fixed value, the Web Service will always pass the particular value to the web service, and will return whatever data is associated with that input value.
If the input value is set to pass dynamically (i.e. bound to cell), then you can have components adjust the input value of the web service call, run the Web Service, which should then pass whatever value you chose prior to executing the Web Service.

Question about creating Web service for Xcelsius

Has anyone successfully written a Web service in .Net C# that Xcelsius can use? I was just trying to create something simple and it will not work. I get data in my Xcelsius report, but it is all lumped into one 'cell' and the XML tags are still in there. If anyone has some sample code that does work it would be much appreciated.
Here is what I have:
public string getTableInfo()
SqlDataAdapter dbadapter = null;
DataSet returnDS = new DataSet();
using (SqlConnection dbconn = new SqlConnection(
"Server=SERVER;"
+ "Database=DB_NAME;"
+ "User ID=ACCOUNT;"
+ "Password=PW123;"
+ "Trusted_Connection=False;"))
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
string sqlQuery = "select FIELD1, FIELD2 from TABLE";
cmd.CommandText = sqlQuery;
cmd.Connection = dbconn;
dbadapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
dbadapter.Fill(returnDS);
return returnDS.GetXml();
thanks!!!

Reddi, I have connected Xcelsius to OBIEE web services. It's the best of two worlds: superior obiee admin and web services performance and complete control over data visualization. See this post for details and code: http://www.bihappyblog.com/2011/05/15/connect-xcelsius-dashboard-to-obiee/

Update/insert/delete data from xcelsius to Database via web service

flynet 
http://www.flynetviewer.com/public/community/Blogs/FlynetXcelsiusServerUser/default.aspx
Except this 2 purchase add-on xcelsius, any other solution ?
Maybe need to write some in MSSQL or C# programming which enable insert, update, delete ...etc ?

Hi,
As of now in Xcelsius/Dashboard Design there is no feature or functionality to insert/update/delete data from database.
Solution:
Create a Web service in let’s say C# or Java, which will perform insert/update/delete operation.
In Xcelsius add Web Service connection and user above web service.
Xcelsius Web Service connection provides option to pass input values to a Web Service (Input Pane) and get the result (Output values pane).
We can pass values to be written to the database as a input to Web Service via Web Service connection from Xcelsius and write data to the database.
Note:
Performing delete operation from Xcelsius Dashboard could be risky and may delete important data from database. I would not prefer giving delete option/functionality in Xcelsius dashboard.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.

Crystal reports and web services

Do crystal report and xcelcius need webservices?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.

Unable to use web services

Hi,
I am unable to web services in Xcelsius 2008. here is what i did
1. created a web service against efashion universe using Query as web service
2. started Xcelsius then data>connection>Add-->Query as web service
3. entered WSDL for my efashion WS and hit Import.
4. i can see different output parameters (under output values) and mapped to excel cells (through insert in)
but i don't see any data.
am i missing anything ? please help.
thanks
FYI- i am quite new to Xcelsius.

hii
for sure
you can find some info in this link https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/995
i've made a small example using a famous test Webservice from the internet
- first go to Data manager (data - > Connections )
- Cick the "Add" Button - > then choose "Web Service Connection"
- in the "WSDL URL".. put the URL of ur webservice which will be something like that
http://www.webservicex.com/airport.asmx?WSDL
- Click Import (the button beside the text)
- after you click import it may take some time to collect the functions from the WSDL URL
- at the "Methods" , you will have all the methods available in this webserivce, in case this webservice has more than one Method
- choose the Method you want from the "Methods" List
- you will see the parameters of this methods in two parts (Input Values,Output Values)
- then you can map the input and the out put values in the excel sheet so easy.
- just click any value name , and map it to the excel sheet.
you will have one more thing - the action -(when the webservice will run)----
- Click the "Usage" tab, you will find all the options there.
hope it was helpfull to you
good luck

Hi,
With regards to your statemetn "SDN downloaded document says to Generate Webservice URL through ABAP" <- can you tell me more please? references/links/attachment?
As far as I am aware, that the type of web service required for integration it a 'normal' Netweaver Web app server web service.
There are limitations about the complexity of the WSDL - see Notes:
1653655 - Limitations in Web Service WSDL URL usage in Xcelsius 4.0
1703839 - Limitations of Web service usage in Xcelsius / Dashboard Design
also , changes between SAP versions requires reworking the WSDL
Note 1625091 - The WSDL URL for web service which generated in SAP Enterprise Central Component cannot be loaded into Xcelsius

Language setting issue with Xcelsius 2008 - Web Service NW BI

French language is set during Xcelsius installation.
In Xcelsius, English is always set as the preference language.
With Web Service NW BI, I get text data returned in French.
English is also defined as default language in SAP BW BI .
I would like to get text data in English.
I don't get this situation when executing the same dashboard in an another PC with only english installation.
Can someone could explain to me how to solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sana,
You might be using Flex 3 sdk library files.
Just check in Properies of your Flex project -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path .
You might get the library files as Flex 3.*
If it is the case then change it to Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3.
now create a new project and compile your application and use the same swf.
Otherwise try to import any existing Flex 2 project folder with compiler flex 2 ver. then try the same swf in your xcelsius application.

Vivek
