Xcelsius 2008 and Vista Issues

Hi All,
I'm using Live Office(XIR2) to live connect the data to the dashboard. Four objects are imported from Webi via Live office and one of the objects is table with 400+rows. the excel has some calculations on the raw data and the size of excel is around 450kb.
When I try to export the XLF file with the imported excel and about 12 components(in the VISTA OS) the xcelsius program is automatically stopped after some time and hence cannot generate the swf. At times the exporting is causing my system to crash.
Is this a problem of the complex excel, LO connectivity or Xcelsius instability with Vista? Any thoughts?

Don't think you have to go through that process. Make sure you have the right format in the embedded excel (Right click on the cell-> format cells), and then just bind the component again.
Regards

If someone has used Xcelsius 2008, and suddenly there is requirement to design the dashboard in any other BO tool, then will he/she be able to design the dashboards as comfortably as in Xcelsius.

Hi,
Each and every tool has its own flexibility to run. Coming to your question, the use of dashboards is to view the data by more interactive other tool cannot comprise it. when you say, if i want to develop the same sort of requirement in other BO tool, then you need to check with positive and negative of the tool to accommodate your logic.

CR 2008 and Vista with CRDC for SFDC

I have installed CR 2008 and it seems to be doing what I need with
Salesforce.com HOWEVER, I am having one issue I may need help
with.
I am working remotely (at home) and I have installed it here on my home office
system running Vista. I copied the reports from the office to here. When I try
to connect to my salesforce.com data source the login keeps failing even though
I can log into my normal Salesforce.com account with Internet
Explorer.
I have no clue what
might be blocking the login.

It sounds like the IP address of your home computer is not allowed by your SFDC account. Click the 'setup' link in SFDC, and look in Security Controls->Network Access (under the 'Administration Setup' heading). If your home IP address is not listed, you can add it using the 'New' button. If you don't know what your home IP address is, you can find it by going to http://whatismyip.com/.

The answer to iTunes and Vista issues...

After waiting for weeks for Apple to listen to all the posts about Vista and iTunes issues, I decided I could not wait any longer. I went out and bought Anapod Explorer which syncs music, video and photos effortlessly with Vista. This proves onc and for all that the iTunes issues with Vista are indeed iTunes issues, and Apple should feel ashamed that they are not supporting the vast majority of iPod owners out there who use Windows not Mac.
In the end, it's Apple's loss as now I do not use iTunes at all so will never be able to use the iTunes store. All Windows users should vote with their feet and stop using iTunes until Apple respects them a little more and works quickly to fix issues with Vista support.
If a small company like Red Chair Software can develop a product that works so well with Vista, how come Apple can't? I recommend Anapod 200% and at $30 it is a bargain.

Yay! This works and thanks for the suggestion to use the backed-up .itl library.
The only glitch I got after it finally launched is that iTunes said my computer was not authorized to play tunes. I had to use my last 5 of 5 authorizations. I only have 3 computers, but I've had this glitch before. Hope I never get it again.
Thanks to the forum, and uh... no thanks to Apple!

Parameters not poputating Crystal reports 2008 and VISTA

We have a client working with CR2008 reports with dynamic CR parameters working. Until last week,
everything was ok, but, after some Windows(vista) updates, now, in one computer (and just in that
computer, rest of people is working fine), when trying to run any CR2008 reports parameters are not
populating(drilldown control is wrongly empty) and even calendar of date parameters is not working.
What can i do to solve this issue?

Finally I've opted for uninstalling all crystal programs, and every microsoft framework updating, install again microsoft framework 3.5 and reinstall SBO Client and CR runtime 2008. Now it is working again.

Xserver and Vista Issues

I'm running a mac server with half mac half pc. I got a new pc that is running Vista Business. I need to join it with our domain, but for the life of me it won't. I can see the other pc's when I go to network & sharing and I can access public drive, but when I try and join the pc to the domain I get an error message. It tells me the specified domain either does not exist or could not
be contacted. Please someone tell me what might be causing this/

You could look to re-load the Windows Vista system with Windows XP software (or replace the PC with a Mac and with Mac OS X and Bootcamp as and when needed), and operate in a more familiar environment.
(There's a good chance this approach will work.)
Or try this: set Windows Vista to the "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated", and away from the apparent default "NTLMV2 responses only" setting. To get to this particular Windows knob, "run secpol.msc" to get to the settings, look under local policies, then security settings.
(Let us know if this works.)
Finding and loading Samba 3.0.22 or later also apparently fixes this issue, too. (Up until Windows Vista arrived, not much actually used NTLMv2...)
Some related reading material on NTLM is here, if you're interested:

Drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HDD issues

Recently I have had the hard drive with my OS fail. After replacing the hard drive and reinstalling windows server 2008 I seem to have run into a few issues with drivers. After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that did not install properly. I was able to get the driver for the LAN port to work but I have not gotten the driver for "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus Controller". After a little research, I believe the video card is a Radeon HD4350. With that information I still have been unable toinstlal the correct drivers for either of these items. I've tried several drivers listed on the drivers support page on HP's website but all fo them return the same error about not finding the correct Operating System. The link to the driver I used originally on my previous installation seems to not be valid any longer.
Also I can't seem to access the two additoinal hard drives (connected by sata). They were used with the previous installation of windows with no issues. They appear in the device manager but do not show up under My Computer. A removeable drive does show up that I'm not sure what it is. Previously I had used software to mirror one of the drives onto the other as to prevent losing data if a drive would fail. Is one of the above drives causing the issue with not being able to access the drives or did the software used before cause the problem?
Any help on these issues is greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK.
I can't help you with the drives then. That is out of my realm of knowledge. If they are marked healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that is all I know that they should be indicated.
As for the graphics driver...
Download and install this free file utility.
http://www.7-zip.org/
After you install 7-zip, right click on the graphics driver file and select 7-zip from the list of options.
Select 7-zip to Extract to: and let it extract the file into a folder. I let it extract to the file name of the folder.
Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.
Of course you will first browse to where 7-zip has extracted the folder to, and proceed from there.

PSE8 and Vista Issues

Considering purchasing PSE8 but have heard ealier versions had large issues w/ Vista. Especially the organizer applications. Is this problem been fixed? From the discussions it looks like this product is not as user friendly when troubleshooting problems. Thanks!!!

PSE versions 6, 7, and 8 are problematic on all versions of Windows. There is nothing about Vista in particular that causes problems for PSE 8 (as compared to XP or Windows 7).

Nano and Vista issue

I've had my 1st gen nano for a while and it works great with Vista, including syncing with iTunes.
There is one minor issue that I haven't been able to resolve.
From within iTunes I am able to disconnect the iPod fine.
But frequently I use the 'Remove Mass Storage Device' utility in Vista (same as it was in XP) in the notification area of the task bar - see image here: http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2213/nanoju9.jpg.
When I do that, Vista tells me that it's safe to disconnect the iPod but the nano still displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message on the screen. My only option is to just disconnect anyway but I'm afraid I'll one day do damage to the nano disconnecting this way and lost data.
Has anyone experienced this? I've been able to reproduce this on Vista beta, RC1, RC2 and now with the full retail version. I never had this issue with XP.
PC Other OS Vista 32bit

I would suggest that you first see this article, which gives some suggestions for Vista users with iTunes/iPod:
iTunes and Windows Vista
If you're still having issues with compatibility, you might want to download the iTunes Repair Tool for Vista 1.0, which helps Vista and iTunes be compatible with one another.
There currently isn't an official iTunes update which will fully make this new OS compatible with iTunes, though. The article linked above says that "Apple recommends, however, that customers wait to upgrade Windows until after the next release of iTunes which will be available in the next few weeks."

Firefox and Vista Issues

Hello ...
I have two questions and would really appreciate some advice.
(1) Could someone tell me whether I should be using an older version of Firefox (if one is still available) since I have Vista?
I have numerous issues with the latest version of Firefox, and have had issues with some of the other more recent versions: the web page freezes, Firefox crashes multiple times, pages are held up when loading (sometimes for quite a while), I get messages about scripts running, the system runs slowly, et cetera.
I am wondering if perhaps the newer versions/updates of Firefox are not compatible with Vista? Should I be using an earlier version?
(2) Right now, I am receiving a message saying "Error loading player. No playable sources found" when I try to view a web cam on Firefox. This is a web site and web cam that I have used daily for months with no problem. I do have Flash Player installed (at least, I think it is still installed. It does show up in my list of programs on my computer). Do I need some sort of plug-in?
Thank you very much for any advice or information.

so for your first question you can do the following steps they will probably help you to resolve your problem:
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it to submit the report.
note: it is advisable not to take screenshots you Copy that ID's instead of taking screenshots.
The answer to your second question:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

Xcelsius 2008 and Flex SDK

Hello all,
I'm new to Xcelsius and Flex SDK and I don't get any information about that:
For what do I exactly need Flex SDK? Only if I want to implement a new template for Xcelsius like a "better" property-panel?
I also want to know, when I want to store data out of my dashboard, can I use and handle them directly in a Web Dynpro environment?
Does anyone have experience with that or could help?
Thanks in advance
best wishes, Bonita

Hi Bonita,
Xcelsius provides standard set of visual components, but in some situation we might need some functionality that is note there in standard set of components. That is where flex comes into picture with the help of Flex SDK we can develop custom components and then use the Xcelsius SDK to compile and use that as an add on inside Xcelsius. Custom build components are also available in marketplace (we can opt from a large set of variants, developed in Flex & Xcelsius SDK). Flex coding is mostly done in MXML and events are Handeled with Action Script.
Note : We need Flex SDK along with Xcelsius SDK only when we need to create some custom component. Xcelsius SDK can be downloaded from SAP Website or can be installed during Setup installation.
Data can be exported out of Xcelsius with the help of External Interface connection. Sample is available in the extracted installation file. Data exchange is Handeled with scripting language. Don't know Web Dynpro environment supports the scripting or not.
Good Luck

Adobe has tightened up security with their new Flash Player 9 that is installed with X2008. They will no longer allow flash files to play in hosted applications, such as PPT, without direct user control. Such is the world living in fear of viruses. There is nothing that can be done unless Adobe changes this policy. Similar behavior is seen with all the other Microsoft office products as well. Andy

Critical Help: Xcelsius 2008 (crashes on snapshot and preview mode?)

I just upgraded to Xcelsius 2008................. everything seemed to work fine until I built my first model with Xcelsius 2008.
For some reason, I can not place the Xcelsius 2008 into "Preview" mode.......... when it goes into preview mode is leaves out data on the charts......... and when I try a snapshot back to Excel to see what is wrong............ it totally crashes.... then Xcelsius 2008 and MS Excel shut down and have issues starting up?????? I never had this problem with Professional 4.5
I am pretty familiar with MS Excel and Xcelsius (however, I do not understand why it would crash when I attempt to preview??); do you know if there is a fix or if others are having this problem? Can you forward to an engineer?? Please, Please............ this has been a trying process....... I am questioning whether I should have really spent the $400 to upgrade.
Also, I downloaded the SP1 zip files..... what files specifically do I use? there is 50 or more files in that folder.
Please help..........my only option is to delete Xcelsius 2008 and go back to the the old Professional version 4.5?? Thought I would check in with you...........Thanks for helping!!!!

Hi, I had the same problem. I solved it just waiting more time.
It happens when you're trying to make a snapshot of a very big excel with inside some "critical" formulas like VLOOKUP or SUMIF or COUNTIF. Are you using some of these formulas?
If your answer is YES, what I can say to you is that when you make a snapshot you'll be able to open the excel only when you'll can to exit from the snapshot...(not when the time icon disappear )
Try this way, and let me know if it's ok.
Enjoy,
