Automatic Refresh of Xcelsius dashboard with Live Office connection

Hi,
I have an Xcelsius dashbaord which has Live Office connectivity to universe query. Universe is build on a Bex query. Now, I need to auto refresh my dashboard say every 15 seconds.
Under 'Data > Connection' menu, I could find 'Refresh every' option for refreshing the dashboard at specified interval. However, it doesn't seem to work. Also, the user guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 indicates that this auto refresh is only for QaaWS, Web Services, and XML Data connections only.
Can someone let me know if this is still the case? Is it possible to have auto refresh for LO connection ? If not, what is the best alternative? I believe QaaWS would work.
Thanks,
Bhargav

Well its still possible to refresh LO connection every 15second. You can use play selector which counts 0-15. Then bind your LO connection refresh option to Play Selector's destination, make it When value becomes 15.

What to specfify in CA Reporting services integration (Report server web service URL) when using SSL for both SharePoint and SSRS?

Hello,
We are using Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server reporting services 2008 R2.    We have the sharepoint site bound to port 443 using a certificate.   We also have the same certificate bound in the reporting services configuration manager's
web service URL tab.    In CA should we put the SSL URL or the non SSL URL?    Right now in CA it has the then non SSL URL,
http://fakehostname/ReportServer_REPORTSERVICE.     We have some sporadic issues and I am wondering if setting this to our SSL URL will help.    Please let me know
if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Sean

Live Office Connection not showing Go to Object Option

Hi All,
i m using Xcelsius Enterprise 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I m having a live office connection. I had added the live office connection from a Webi Report, Binded the Prompt and created a live office connection to the server. The report was working fine.
After a couple of days when I open the report again I find the Go to Object has been disabled in the report and the Modify Object shows only Properties option. The Refresh Object also does not work.
Could you tell me what has gone wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks

I am still on Xcelsius 2008 but faced similar refresh disabled problems. May be this helps:
These days I maintain a Live Office Excel spreadsheet and import it into Xcelsius after any kind of changes.
You can maintain the data connections part within Xcelsius as required, but treat Live Office Excel report as a separate unit and set up all the refresh properties at report part level before you import it into and start developing the Xcelsius.
This way the refresh never gets affected and it works every time.

Problem with Cross Tab in Live Office Connectivity

Hi Experts,
I am using Live Office Connectivity to build a Xcelsius Dashboard.
The webi Report has data in 4 cross tabs which comes to Xcelsius as 4 LO Connections.
The size of the Xcelsius Doc is around 900K. I am getting "Xcelcius has stopped working " error when i preview the document.
Earlier i have built dashboards on Webi Report which used Verticle tables(more than 1 MB in size). I am able to preview them and generate SWF without any problem.
I am working on Xcelsius SP3 on Vista OS with 2 GB RAM.
Is using Cross Tab, responsible for the Application Crash or any other reason?
Please help me in solving the above problem at the earliest.
Please let me know if you need any further information on the same.
TIA,
Bhargava Bommidi.

Bhargava,
Webi cross tabs via Live Office connection should work. Pls see this [post|Re: Does Xcelsius support Cross Tab report via Live Office?; for more detail.
Pls let me know what version of Xcelsius you are using because this error is known to popup when some of the dlls are not registered as well.
Cheers,
Ryan

Dynamic Web Service URL

I'm using a .Net based web service to fetch data. The exported XCelsius will be deployed on the customer's environment along with the web service. In that case, the SWF file should connect to web service deployed on my customer site. But, it looks for the hard coded path of the web service. In XCelsius designer, there is no option to pick the web service URL from a cell, as available in the "XML data" button. Is there any other way to pass on the Web Service URL dynamically to the SWF file. Please note, I may use more that one web service connectors in my SWF file.

With regards to the Web Service Connector in CX, you can dynamically set the URL/end point path of the Web Service if you have installed the latest hotfix of CX:
http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crystal_xcelsius_4.5_hotfix.zip.asp
After, you will see in the properties of the Web Service Connector by tying it to a cell in the speadsheet.

Difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL

What is the difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL in Reporting Service configuration manager in SQl Server 2008 Reporting Setrvices

Another way to put it is the Web Service URL is just that, its used for services that are connecting to issue API calls. The Report Manager URL is the nice GUI that users should use. If you click the links, you should see the difference. I
am sure you have likely done that, but functionally one is for programmatic purposes and the other to be the front end graphical user interface.
Sometimes pictures help as well...

Substitution variable for Web Service URLs

Hello all,
I'm building some RESTful web service references into an Apex 4 application.
I have a requirement to incorporate different web service URLs, depending on the environment (Dev, Test, Live etc.).
I'd like to design this so that Apex can pick up the URL from a substitution variable, and I'm not able to do this.
Can anyone help with this, or suggest a workaround?
Thanks,
Rhodri

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your reply.
Could you please explain where you used the substitution variable as the URL Endpoint of your REST Web service reference?
I'm trying to create a Rest Webservice reference (Shared Components > Edit REST Web Reference) and use the substitution variable as the URL in the definition, and &SUBST_VAR. does not seem to work there.
Thanks,
Rhodri

Invalid Web Service URL Error

I am trying to access define a new webservice system using the WSDL for my local queryview web service. When I put in the WSDL URL it comes back with a "Invalid Web Service URL" error. If I put the URL in the Browser address, it successfully brings back the web service information. Any ideas why I can't define this web service system?
http://<server>:8001/sap/bw/xml/soap/queryview?sap-client=040&wsdl=1.1
<server> is a token for posting concerns...
Thanks!

I am imagining that the BW QUERY_VIEW_DATA web service complies to the Basic Profile 1.0.
And I don't quite understand this part?
<i>In addition, connections to Web services for SAP backend systems must be performed via logical destinations (configured in the SAP J2EE engine with the Visual Administrator) and not via portal systems</i>
Since the QUERY_VIEW_DATA Web Service resides on my BW system is the BW system considered a SAP backend system? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

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?
Regards,
Mahendra

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.

Web service URL with multiple parameters

Hi all,
I'm trying to make use of a web service that takes multiple parameters without the use of a proxy (we're using NW 7/7.1 and proxies aren't supported - i.e. i'm getting the same thing as described here: Proxy object to consume web service)
So instead I'm trying to follow a method similar to what is done [here|http://sample-code-abap.blogspot.com/2009/05/simple-code-consume-web-service-using.html]
When I put the web service url into a browser and click on the operation it comes up with
http://portLocation/company/webservice.asmx?op=operation
and comes up with the sample SOAP request and response as normal.
Now with most web services with one parameter, the url translates to something like: http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx/GetCitiesByCountry?CountryName=australia
Which works fine.
However, the web service i'm using has 4 parameters and when I try and translate my url to be like this (http://portLocation/Company/WebService.asmx/Operation?parameter1=XX&parameter2=XX&parameter3=XX&parameter4=XX) I get, "The page cannot be displayed"
Can anyone suggest a way that I might be able to get around this or what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
are you sure that your Operation is valid? So for example in your [example|http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx] there are just two operations: [GetCitiesByCountry|http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx/GetCitiesByCountry] and [GetWeather|http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx/GetWeather]. You are right about passing multiple parameters. You need to put ? after valid URL and then pairs <name>=<value> separated by &. Don't forget that you need to encode <name> and <value> to avoid problems.
Cheers

Web Service URL length limits, LV2013 vs LV2012

(* CROSS POST: http://lavag.org/topic/18435-web-service-url-length-limits-lv2013-vs-lv2012/ *)
(* Please reply in this forum. I have marked the other thread to put replies here. *)
Has anyone noticed a reduction to the limit on URL length for Web Services between LV versions 2012 and 2013?
Under LV2012, a RESTful web service appears to accept URL with lengths at least as long as 4096 characters. With LV2013, the max URL length appears to be 511 characters for both RESTful and Project Item web services. Unfortunately for me the project I just converted trips over this issue. My goal with posting this query to here is to improve my understanding of this limitation before I decide how best to modify my code. Certainly using POST rather than GET with a long URL is an option, but again, I'm looking to understand the change in limitation before I choose a solution.
To illustrate I have attached three mostly identical projects which demonstrate the issue. In each case the project contains a webservice consisting of a single VI, "ComputeLength", which takes a String as an input parameter and which outputs the length of the string. The three projects are as follows.
1. LV2012 RESTful web service.
2. LV2013 RESTful web service.
3. LV2013 Project item web service.
The web service contains a single VI. For the RESTful examples, the web service is started by selecting Deploy from the Build specification right click menu. For the Project Item example, the web service is started by selecting Start from the MyComputer/WebService right click menu. The use of this example is demonstrated with the following URL:
(note that the port is 8080 for the two RESTful examples and is 8001 for the Project item web service if used in Debug mode, which is the default for the above instruction.)
http://localhost:8080/webservice/computelength?string=1234567890
And the output looks like this.
<Response>
<Terminal>
<Name>StringLength</Name>
<Value>10</Value>
</Terminal>
</Response>
To see the issue, extend the string parameter such that the URL contains more than 511 characters beyond the port number. For example something like this, http://localhost:8080/webservice/computelength?string=1234567890123456789012345678901234567890....(keep repeating)
For the LV2012 example the string parameter may be at least as long as 4000 characters, which I've demonstrated using Chrome as my browser. For both of the LV2013 examples the URL is limited to 511 characters after the localhost and the port number.
Anyone know whether this is a bug or this is an intentional design change? How about whether the URL length limit is configurable?
I am also consulting NI tech support and will report back their response.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

Solution found. Apparently starting in LV 2013, there is a default limit of 512 to the URL length. The default limit may be overridden as described below.
Martin
This is Brian in Applications Engineering from National Instruments. I am following up regarding the 511 character limit in your Web Service HTTP request following the port number. After some research I've figured out that the issue is related to a default web server setting called "LimitUri," which limits the maximum length of a URL. The default setting is 512 characters which is why we are seeing this issue.
There are multiple ways of changing the URL length limit depending on how you are using your web service. If you are publishing the web service using the Application Web Server then modify "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\NI WebServer\NIWebAppServer.conf" and add "LimitUri 4096" to the end of the file without the quotes.
If you are running the Debug Web Server by just clicking start on the web service then modify "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\resource\webserver\niwsdebugserver.conf" and add "LimitUri 4096" to the end of the file without the quotes.

Invalid Web service URL

Hi All,
While creating a model in VC7.0 based on an external webservice(ex: http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl), I ended-up with Invalid Web service URL error.
Note: When I access the same WSDL URL using browser it didn't ask me for user authentication, the XML file was opened neatly.
Please assist.
FYI- Portal Version is NW2004s SP16.
Kind regards,
Vijay

Hi Fabien,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, I had tried with simple and local one, and found success in that as well.
But, this time I would like to create a model based on the some 3rd party webservice available in internet.
If you know few simple 3rd party webservice available in internet as like the one I have mentioned in my initial post, that would be helpful to me.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Vijay
