What is BO Live Office

Hi experts,
Could anybody explain to me what is BO Live Office? I need to set up my crystal reports and webi and my admin asks me to download live office. on sap site, i found a link to free down load of live office, but in the list there is none. i chatted with sap sales and live office sales, surprisingly they have no clue what this product is? I am confused. Thanks in advance.

In addition see [this link|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/large/business-intelligence/information-infrastructure/enterprise/live-office/index.epx] and [this PDF|http://www.sap.com/netherlands/about/events/justitie/pdf/businessobjects_live_office_SAP.pdf] for more info.
Regards,
Tim

  • Data not updated in the excel while using Live office

    Hi all,
         I have a Trial balance Crystal report in BOE and have created a Live Office document connecting that report. Now I've imported that document to the Xcelsius environment.
       In Xcelsius a Filter component having the YTD values as the Labels and its destination is bound to the cell having input to the Crystal report of the Live Office document. Now in the Preview mode when I change the select the year its corresponding data should be displayed in the Chart but unfortunately that's not that case. But when I change the year in Non Preview mode
    the data is getting updated.
    What could the error ?
    Thanks
    John

    Thanks Senthil, its working!!
    But its taking lot of time for the data to get updated in the chart upon changing the year. Is there any way to speed up the process ?
    Thanks

  • Live Office SP3.4/Office 2010 - Live Office objects disappear on conversion

    I am testing Live Office XI 3.1 FP3.4 on a Windows 7 laptop with Office 2010 installed and have a question.
    I take an Excel 2003 file (XLS) file that has Live Office connections and open it in Office 2010. Then I save as an XLSX file. While saving I get a message that states:
    "The name, [1]_1_CRADDIN_DataGrid, either conflicts with a valid range reference of is invalid for Excel. The name has been replaced with 11__1_CRADDIN_DataGrid. You may still need to manually update any references to this name used in VBA code or as text arguements in functions. You must close and reopen the workbook before these changes take effect."
    I complete the save then close and reopen the file. When I go check for my Live Office objects, they seem to have disappeared (meaning I right click on what used to be a Live Office object, but I no longer see Live Office on the popup menu).
    Can't I convert my old data models to the new excel format? I am doing this because the XLF is taking a LONG time to open in Xcelsius 2008 SP4 with multiple server busy messages. I thought updating the Excel file might speed things up but since the Live Office objects are disappearing from my spreadsheet this is not working as expected.
    If any pointers can be given that would be great. If I have missed any documenation that may help me out, please let me know. I checked the Live Office documentation and the highest thing for XI 3.1 I see is SP3, no FP3.4 (or even SP4).

    How do I know if Office is 64 bit? If I go to the control panel, I see that "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010" is installed.
    There are no named ranges in my sheet.

  • How to configure Live Office Data with no Logon Prompt

    Hi,
    I am using Xcelsius with Live Office.  Everything appears fine except that when I attempt to preview the dashboard using the Xclesius preview button I am being prompted with a logon screen.  For my clients this will not be an acceptable solution and I need to find a way to create this dashboard without having a logon prompt appear.
    I have done some research and it appears that using Flash Vars with a CelogonToken variable is the way to go.  This is fine except that this solution requires that I either use the Variable to open a child swf or I have to embed the report in a .Net application and pass the value for the Flash Var using some c# or VB.net coding.
    Ideally, I am looking for a way to pre set this password so that users can go straight to Infoview and view the dashboard.
    I guess what I am really after is functionality similar to using a Web Service Connector which enalbes developers to fill in the password value as a part of the object and be done with it.
    Does any one have any idea as to how this can be accomplished?
    Thanks,
    Ty

    I want to set up a 'Guest' accountFine, but I recommend you use a different name, e.g. "visitor", not "guest".
    If, under "Parental Controls" you select "Finder & System", then click "Configure", you can select "This user can only use these applications:" which gives you all the control you need. However, you may also need to check "Allow supporting programs" for some choices.

It is working fine for the first time ane next time it doesn't and the source for these reprots exist in WEBI Public folders.
    "An error occurred while opening the report. The report does not exist; you have insufficient rights to open the report; or you cannot make a connection to the BusinessObjects Web Service. (LO 02010)"
    Also fewtimes we are getting below error message while refreshing the Live office object
    Error message:

    Hi Ingo,
    Yes the same report can be accessed from Infoview and we don't have any issues but once we save the live office objects locally on desktop then trying to connect to LIVE OFFICE to refresh the reports then we are getting the message.
    Authentication method in Live office is SAP and I didn't check "Enable windows active directorysingle sign on"
    Authentication method in Universe is " Use Specified user name and Password"
    Can you please help me what could be the reason for the issue and how to resolve that.

  • Live Office Error when connecting to SAP BW data (Offline dashboard)

    Hi experts,
    we have built up an Live Office connection to SAP BW query data to create a dashboards, which can show the data also in offlne mode. We are using exactly the same procedure as recommanded by Ingo Hilgofort in [End-to-End Scenarios With Xcelsius 2008|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/90ad73b1-506c-2b10-9e9b-9fde523f010a].
    When trying to refresh the Live Office connection using the "Refresh" button in the dashboard we receive the error LO 26301: The current refresh option requires a report instance that does not exist.
    The recommended action is: Change the refresh option of the object or use the CMC to schedule a new instance.
    But creating an instance of the dashboard is not possible. What is meant by that? Is it necessary that we embed the Xcelsius flash into a PDF or a Crystal Report? What are our alternatives?
    Best regards,
    Sebastian

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. Please see below answers to your question:
    When you say that you are not able to connect from Word Live office to server - in this are you able to see Live Office tab in word document?
    Yes, I can see the Live Office tab. When I try to connect to the server to insert a crystal report I get the message "constructor exception (error: WSE 99999) Unknown error "-1""
    Did the installation process was done properly?
    As far as I am aware, yes.
    Which version of Live office you are using? because it will help to proceed further.
    LIVE OFFICE XI 3.1 (version 12.1.0.882)
    Where exactly you are not getting the Crystal Reports Options? Are you facing any error message?If Yes then what is the error message.
    Please see above
    Are you able to login to server successfully?
    I can in Excel in Live office but not in Word. As per the first message, I cannot see an option in Crystal to publish a crystal report. Do you know how I can do this? As I understand I need to publish it to the server and then Live Office will be able to see it.

  • Live Office: Database logon failed error

    Please help...Live Office problem...
    Am working in Xcelsius 2008.
    Here's what I'm trying to do:
    1. I set up a Crystal Report using a Stored Procedure as the data provider.
    2. The Stored Procedure has a parameter built into it.
    3. When the report is refreshed within Crystal, the prompt dialog box is displayed; I fill in the desired value, and run. Everything comes back fine.
    4. Crystal Report is exported to the repository.
    5. In Excel, I inserted the Crystal Report using Live Office. It shows up as a Live Office object just fine.
    6. I bound an Excel cell to the prompt; when you change the value in the bound cell, the Live Office object refreshes and displays the correct results.
    7. In Xcelsius, I imported the Excel spreadsheet.
    8. I set up a Text component that is bound to the cell containing the parameter value. Also set up a Grid to display the results, and a Connection Refresh button to call the refresh. Added a Live Office Data Connection pointing to the Web Service URL for the report. 
    Note: When in Designer mode, if the value of the bound cell is changed, the results in the grid change accordingly.
    9.  When in Preview mode (or generated swf), if the Refresh button is pressed, a "User Identification" dialog box appears asking me to log on. The values it asks for are: System, User Name, Password, and Authentication.  I enter the same credentials as are within the Live Office settings in Excel, (which are working correctly), but receive an error "soapenv:Server.generalException: Database logon failed.".
    Note - all the id's are synced up - Business Objects, Database, etc.
    I've tried all kinds of combinations, but nothing gets me past this error. If I use any other server than the system one, the error message is "soapenv:Server.generalException: Server XXXXX not found or server may be down".
    I've noticed that in Excel directly, when I open the spreadsheet and refresh the Live Office object, I am prompted to log on to the database where the stored procedure is being executed. This dialog box does not appear once the Excel sheet has been imported into Xcelsius. One of the combinations I tried in the "User Identification" dialog box was the name of the database server, that didn't work either.
    I also tried creating the Live Office object directly within the Excel spreadsheet in Xcelsius, but then I was unable to bind the prompt value. Could never get the Live Office/Properties menu to appear.
    Ideas? Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!
    Stephanie

    Got it!
    Here's what I had to do...
    In the CMC, under Object/Process/Database for the Crystal Report -
    which says...
    "Set the default information for logging onto the data source(s) automatically whenever the report is run."
    The Database Connection option had to be set to "Use custom database logon information specified here" and
    the When Viewing Report option set to "Use same database logon as when report is run".
    Then everything works fine - prompts appear, and Xcelsius passes the log on information to the database correctly. Stored procedure executes and returns the correct results.
    Thanks to everyone for their help!

  • Pivot tables in excel with Live Office

    Once I save a business objects XI R2 web intelligence report to excel format and schedule to users the excel which the users receive should have pivot tables and users should be able to add any fields of their choice in the report and view it similar to the excel pivot tables.As far as I know I will be able to achive this functionality using Live Office.Is there any other way how I can achieve this and also has anyone worked on this kind of requirement and can confirm this will work without any issues with live office?

    It is not possible to schedule the WebI reports in Excel format and use a predefined excel template for this.
    What your users CAN do is to add their own pivot tables from the scratch in the excel file that was generated and delivered to them according to the schedule.
    What you can do is use LiveOffice (have to install the plug-in on all user workstations though), bind the instances and deliver your users an excel file, which uses liveoffice to bind the scheduled webI report instances (eg. the latest instance). Your users can add the desired pivot table functionality on their own or you can predefine this in the excel file yourself.
    Which version of BO do you use?

  • 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

  • Multiple instances of Live Office Word document

    I have a live office word document that has several Webi reports in it all tied to one field. If you refresh, it will ask you for a value, so it only runs one value at a time. Is there any way to get a live office document to run a series of instances with a different value per instance?

    Sorry, I don't know what you mean by BO SDK.  Is that Business Objects Software Development kit?  I'm not really familiar with that.  I had to ask someone else what it meant.  Thanks.

  • Deploy Live Office XI 3.1 on Websphere 6.1

    Hi everybody!
    I have a problem with Live Office XI 3.1 on a system that uses a Websphere 6.1 AS.
    If I point (from connect panel of LiveOffice) to the default Tomcat AS I'm able to use LiveOffice and connect to enterprise (BOE XI3.1) but, if I use Websphere I can't connect to the system.
    What I have to do?
    I use predeploy and then I manually deploy all Webapps inside WebSphere.
    All WebApps in WebSphere are flagged as started.
    Thanks!
    Bye
    Andrea

    First of all, thanks for the reply.
    Actually I use inside the options of LiveOffice this path:
    http://server:9080/dswsbobje/services/session
    and it doesn't work.
    If I try to reach that URL from my browser, I'm able to see the page.
    So what you suggest is to open the war file and then modify the path?
    Consider that we have installed BOE on the same machine of WebSphere.
    Cheers
