Inserting WEBI into Live Office with Bex query

I have created a WEBI connected directly to a Bex query in BI 4.0. When I refresh the WEBI, I am prompted with the Bex variable and the data is refreshed correctly. I added that WEBI to Live Office, but it does not prompt me with the Bex variable. I only get the data that was last saved in the WEBI. Is there anything special I have to do to get the Bex variable to prompt me in Live Office 4.0?

Hi,
Some additional info: It seems .unx is not fully supported with LiveOffice 4.0 - an enhancement has been registered on Ideas Place: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/3578
I have also seen it that WEBI on BICS never pulls the prompts (SAP Variables) through into Live Office. There is a documentation fix in process to explicitly mention this limitation.

I just talked to a SAP representative and he informed me that you cannot load a Excel spreadsheet using Live Office from the BO Enterprise while in Xcelsius. Basically that button in Xcellsius should have been grayed out. It is mentioned in the Xcelisus 2008 Release Notes.

BICS vs Webi thru Live office

Dear Experts,
We have a requirements to build couple of Dashboards on Sales activities based on different various selectors based on Material, Customer, Sales Area and Time Dimensions..
We are using Xcelsisus 2008 and XI R3.1 SP3.
I would like to know your recommendations on solution..
Whether to build Dashboards
on scheduled webi reports connected thru Liveoffice
or
Connect directly to BEX thru BICS ?
Any mix-solution ( Webi for transaction data and BICS for master data (materials, customers etc..) used for selectors)
Thank you in advance.
Akshara..

is there anything i have to do with transaction launcher?.
or else any method to attach the URL to the navbar link!.
please help!.
Thank you,
sudeep v d.

Hi Johannes,
I got the problem solved. there is an option
'Define URLs and Parameters' in the Transaction Launcher.
( CRM version 4.0 ).
where you have to create an ID and define the corresponding URL.
as the next step you have to goto to transaction auncher wizard and input this ID + Navbar ID, class name etc.

Help with redirecting URL from Web Dynpro

Hi,
I have a question regarding how i can construct a URL where i would like to forward the user from a WD app based on some user interaction.
The problem is that i need to know the protocol, server & host to resend the control to ( basically append these values to a url path that i have eg: <http(s)>://<host>:<port>/<the path i have>). With NW2004s, the request object is not exposed to us anymore, so i am wondering what is the best way to construct the url.
I have gone through various posts here and the one that came closest to accomplishing what i need is the one by Valery S which recommends creating a Servlet that captures the request info that i need and then calling the WD app including the info that i need as request parameters in the calling URL.
Before i do this, i want to see if anyone has been able to solve this through another approach.
Appreciate the inputs.
Best Regards
Renchy Thomas

Renchy,
Now I see you are conflicting with yourself
On one hand, if you need to redirect to the application hosted on the same server you need no protocol/server/port parameters. And you confirmed that this works for you.
On other hand, you are complaining that WD doesn't know in advance the protocol/host/port of arbitrary server you are planning to redirect to. Well, as I understand this is not API issue, this is configuration issue. You just need some configurable way to store such settings.
If this is true, then I can suggest 2 options:
1. HTTPDestination -- you are setting and configuring destination via VisualAdministrator, then from your code you are lookup destinitation by logical name and get physical URL.
2. IWDConfiguration / WDConfiguration -- you are creating settings as regular properties file, after deployment you may tweak this property file with VisualAdministrator. From code you are using WDConfiguration API to read URL or parts of URL as properties.

Course Subcribe URL from Web Services

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to get the "Subscribe" URL for a course using the Web Services API. I know I can generate the actual xml of the feed but I'm interested in getting an authenticated URL to the feed itself (i.e. the program tic equivalent of going to the course, right clicking on the Subscribe button and copying the URL). Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Bill

The sandbox security used in Java Web Start (as well as the plugin) only allows connections to the
host the app was downloaded to. To connect to other hosts you must sign your jar files and ask for
all-permission in the jnlp file.

Cant find crystal report in the Live Office

please make sure that the BOBJ user you are using to establish the connection between your LiveOffice Excel client and your BOBJ server has the appropriate rights and is able to view the public folder.

HTTP form post from Web Dynpro Java Application without opening new window

Hi Experts,
We are trying to submit form data to an external URL from Web Dynpro Java application. We are achieving this with the following piece of code.
try
   strPrintContent="<html>"+
     "<head>"+
     "<script type=\"text/javascript\">"+
     "function myfunc () "+
     "{"+
     "var frm = document.getElementById(\"paymentForm\");"+
     "frm.submit();"+
     "}"+
     "</script>"+
     "</head>"+
     "<body onLoad=myfunc()>"+
     "<form id=paymentForm method=post action=\""+merchantURLPart+"\">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=username value="+userName+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=pass value="+passWord+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=senderid value="+senderID+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=dest_mobileno value="+mobile+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=message value='"+msg+"'>"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=response value="+response+">"+
     "</form>"+
     "</body>"+
     "</html>";
IWDWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(strPrintContent.getBytes(),WDWebResourceType.HTML);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(webResource.getAbsoluteURL(),"WBSEDCL");
window.show();
catch(Exception e)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error : "+e.toString(),false);
But it opens another window. We dont need that. We have to stay on the same window. Please suggest what can be done.

Hi,
You can create a HTML file with the request post parameters and the external URL something like this:
public java.lang.String GetRedirecturl( )
// External URL
String html = "<html><head></head><body onload=\"load()\"> " +
"<form id=\"form1\" action=\"https://www.abc.com/xyz.jsp\" method=\"POST\">" +
// Post Parameters
"<INPUT TYPE=\"HIDDEN\" NAME=\"Param1\"VALUE=\""+Param1Value+"\">"+
"<input name=\"sap-wd-resumeurl\" type=\"hidden\"/>" +
"</form> " +
"" +
"<script>" +
"function load(){" +
"var loc = window.location.search.substring(1);" +
"var queryString = loc.split(\"sap-wd-resumeurl=\");" +
"if(queryString.length > 0)" +
"{" +
"var resumeURL = queryString[1].split(\"&\");" +
"if(resumeURL.length >= 0)" +
"{" +
" document.forms['form1'].elements['sap-wd-resumeurl'].value= unescape(resumeURL[0])" +
"}" +
"}" +
"document.getElementById('form1').submit();" +
"}" +
"</script>" +
"</body> </html>";
String redirectUrl = "";
byte[] byteArrayHtmlData = null;
try {
byteArrayHtmlData = html.getBytes("UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Internal error occurred. Please try after some time",true);
IWDResource htmlResource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArrayHtmlData), "Redirect.html", WDWebResourceType.HTML, true);
redirectUrl = htmlResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal());
return redirectUrl;
Hope this will be helpful.
Regards,
Anurag

Web Service URL in Live Office for Edge BI 3.1 SP3

Hello,
I want to install the best practices v4.31 for Xcelsius.
I have : Edge BI 3.1 SP3 for server and for client,
            environnement Windows server 2008 and windows XP,
            Xcelsisus 2008
            Live Office 3.1 SP3
I export an Xcelsius in excel. To open an Xcelsius report in Excel I should use Live Office. And also I should give an url of web service, which is http://<host>:8080/dswsbobje/services/session. This url doesn't work and a field with Authentification is grey.
Can it be a problem of BusinessObject Edge BI version? A problem with an incorrect url?
Thank you,
Malika

Hi malika paris ,
The Url is correct you have to change the <host> to the webserver name or CMS server name or IP address like "http://10.74.161.168:8080/dswsbobje/services/session".
my suggestion is to upgrade your xcelsius version to 2008 SP3 as all other production version are SP3.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Sudharam

Problem with Live Office Web Services

Hi@all,
we have a problem with the Live Office connection options.
The Webservice URL entry has an error: "Verion conflict: Your Live office client needs a newer version of Business Objects Web Services".
I have installed the newest SP (SP3) for XI 3.1 for my Live Office Client and for the BO client tools but it do not work. Has anybody an idea?
Thanks.
Thomas

Any solution for this? We have the same issue.
Got resolved by recreating the webi document from scratch and the live connections.
But this issue really scares me as I have did not see any reason for this to happen and it is very inconsistant.
