Write a SAP Crystal Solutions (Xcelsius 2008) book for Packt Publishing

Hi,
I am an author recruiter at Packt Publishing (www.packtpub.com). We publish computer-related books on a wide variety of IT topics.
We are planning to publish a new book on SAP Crystal Solutions (Xcelsius 2008).I am looking out for some potential Co-authors to write this book, who are an expert at it and also, a book can be a way to raise one's profile in their work environment.
Title: SAP Crystal Solutions Cookbook
Planned to be a 350 pages book, targeted at Xcelsius Developers who have a good command and knowledge of creating dashboards, but are not advanced users .A book to help users accomplish specific dashboarding tasks with Xcelsius 2008 Engage and Present.
To give you an idea about the way things work at Packt:
The editorial team at Packt works with the author through the project.
We pay a royalty of 16% and an advance against it.
The marketing team at Packt ensures that the book is well promoted.
Could you please let me know if you find it interesting to Co - author this book?
Thanks,
Snehman Kohli

  • SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2008, personal edition, full product download

    Hi, can anyone tell me what I need to do after downlaoding 2008 personal edition?
    I've tried to run the install file but I keep getting a window that tells me "Microsoft XP and later applications: Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint must be pre-installed".
    But my laptop is already installed with MS XP and MS Office 2010.
    Many thanks
    Brian.

    Hi Brian,
    Office 2010 is not supported in Xcelsius 2008. Check this blogpost for a workaround.

  • SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2008 - where to re-download software?

    Hi,
    My work laptop was just uprgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and I cannot find the software anywhere to re-install it.  I found the order confirmation email and managed to login to re-download it, but when I clicked "begin download" I got a message saying that it was too old to download!
    Can anyone advise?
    Many thanks!

  • SAP Authentication issue in Xcelsius 2008 SP4

    Ingo Can you help me?
    Xcelsius 2008 SP4 Failed to Open/Save from BusinessObjects Enterprise and throws an error Failed While Trying to Logon User "0000" RFC error: "LOGON_DATA_INCOMPLETE" when using SAP Authentication.
    It works perfect with Enterprise.
    Recently we have upgraded from Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP 3.5 to Xcelsius 2008 SP4. It also displays the password without encrypting.
    BOE 3.1 Sp3
    Integration Kit SP3Fix Pack 3.2
    SAP GUI 720
    Xcelsius 2008 SP4
    It was working good with SAP Authentication when using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3.5
    Thanks
    Dais

    Hi,
    As a starting point, i would strongly recommend you standardise all your component versions.
    from what i can see, you've just asserted that Server, Integration Kit, and Client  are all on different Fix levels..
    that's not a nice baseline on which to investigate!  
    Also, patching would also include importing the correct SAP Transports into your BW. (they change almost every FP)

    I have downloaded and installed the Xcelcius SP3 trial. The build version is - 12.3.0.670
    On insallation of SAP Integration Kit 3.1 .. I see SAP in the main Menu of the Xcelsuis 2008. However unlike Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 the SAP menu is all greyed out ( Its non-modifiable )
    Am i missing anything here..?

    Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 ( Integrated OK with the SAP Server )

  • Xcelsius 2008 SP3 is now available

    Xcelsius 2008 SP3 Release Notes UPDATED Feb 2010
    Just in time for the holidays!
    Xcelsius 2008 SP3 is now available from Service Marketplace and the support download site: SAP Crystal Solutions Downloads
    We hope you enjoy the great new features we have added. For details check out our Whatu2019s New document and these blogs:
    u2022     http://everythingxcelsius.com/2009/12/top-10-xcelsius-2008-sp3-enhancements.html
    u2022     http://timoelliott.com/blog/2009/12/what%E2%80%99s-new-in-sap-businessobjects-xcelsius-2008-sp3.html
    Make sure you download the self extracting file and run it from your hard drive.
    Please be patient when you run the self extracting file as it silently extracts all of the necessary files and then automatically runs the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 installer which can take a few minutes. The install files are extracted to the C:Temp folder along with the other CD files including: documentation, connectivity and portal integration kits.
    SP3 is cumulative patch so incorporates all the patches to-date and delivers new fixes and features, therefore Xcelsius 2008 SP1 and SP2 are no longer available. Customers looking for fixes shipped with SP1 or SP2 should download and install SP3.
    Note: The Enterprise patch is for all versions of Xcelsius 2008 except Xcelsius 2008 Present which has its own patch

  • SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors

    Hi all,
    There have been many customers who have downloaded the Crystal Reports 2011 installation package and have run into an error when the installer attempts to recognize the keycode being used.  The error received is "The Product Keycode is not valid INS00140."
    This thread is meant to track all current resolutions that have been determined based on troubleshooting with customers thus far. In addition, the thread will provide you with the list of things that we need to know in order to properly troubleshoot the issue.
    Before attempting any of the steps below, please be sure that you are using the latest version of Crystal Reports 2011 which is SP02. You can download this version from the SAP [website|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/index.epx].
    Coy
    ====================
    Resolution Options
    Windows XP & Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
    If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on Windows XP, then you need to ensure that the following Microsoft patches are not installed on the machine. You can check this by using the Add / Remove Programs dialogue.
    KB2467175
    KB2467174
    KB2467173
    If any of these are installed, then please remove them before attempting to install Crystal Reports 2011.
    Installing with Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011
    If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on the same machine as Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011, then there may be a problem with the registry key that points to the location of the keydecoder DLL. To check this, launch run regedit and navigate to the following location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Shared Tools\keydecoder.dll
    You want to make sure that the "path" key is pointing to the valid path for the keydecoder.dll. The correct path to the DLL should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x8keydecoder.dll.
    Uppercase License Key
    In addition to the above, you need to make sure that you are entering the license key in all uppercase characters. There is a current issue with the installer where it does not accept lower case characters.
    Fix - Coming in SP02, but can implement manually for now
    Locate the BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config file in the <install package directory>\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core-32\actions
    (replace crystalreports with crystalreportsjava for CR for Ent and xcelsius for dashboards)
    Open BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config
    Locate this line:
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.1434" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
    Modify the oldVersion number to make the line like this one:
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.4053" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
    This should allow you to install without issue.
    Further Troubleshooting
    If none of the above helps to resolve the issue, then we need the following:
    The installation logs from the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Local Settings\Temp\<DATE OF YOUR LAST ATTEMPTED INSTALLATION>
    The results from attempting to run the keycode validator directly. You can find it under the folders that contain the installation package. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\My Documents\CrystalReports2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core 32\actions\isKeyCodeValid.exe -keycode <YOUR KEYCODE> -version 140 -property CR.EnableCR
    You should submit a new forum post with relevant details about the error and provide links to download the logs generated by following the above steps.

    Then try these:
    1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.
    Make sure it is not less than 14.0.2...
    2. Where to download Crystal Reports 2011 installation from: - free trial from SAP Online shop http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx - from SDN Community page http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm - from Service Market Place http://service.sap.com/sbop-downloads Note: downloads from all above listed locations are fully functional product installations.

    3. Copy the installation package to a hard drive if possible to avoid any networking issues.
    4. Login to the machine as Local ADMINISTRATOR.
    5. Temporary disable any kind of firewall, antivirus, network security etc., if possible.

    7. Make sure there is enough space on the computer. If not sure about the space, run "Custom" installation with minimum components. Non-mandatory components could be added at any time.
    8. Finally, if there is an existing "InstallData" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects rename it to "InstallDataOLD"

  • SAP Crystal Runtime 13 - free to use?

    Hi,
    We have a few third party systems that use SAP Crystal Runtime. What we have currently is version XI.
    Just wanted to find out that if its free to upgrade to 13? Not aware of any licensing agreements we have with SAP given that we don't use any of the designer, analytics, dashboard tools. It's just really Runtime
    I have tried downloading the latest version from the website below and actually tried installing and did not get prompted for any licenses or registration.
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads

    Hi Kate,
    You cannot simply update those older third party applications to the newer versions of our runtime. Only those creators of the application can do that.
    Downloading and installing from the link you used will do nothing for those applications.
    To get updates you need to contact the makers and ask them if they support version 13 runtime and they have to provide you with an update installer.
    As for licensing, they are responsible to handle that part. If you want to have a look here's the link:
