Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard thrugh NWBC

Dear All
We have the following environment.
1. SAP production Server - R3 Environment (No BW, No Open Doc)
2. We hae Crystal Report 2008 SP5
3. We have Xcelsius 2008
We developed couple of Dashboards using Xcelsius by directly connecting to R3 using Web services.
The Dashboards are woking fine.
Now we like to put these dashboards in the NWBC Custom Pages.
Using PFCG - we configured page layouts. However, We are not able to get those Dashboards into it. I alredy uploaded the Dashboards into SAP mime objects. (using SE80).
Searched to fine out and get some documetns but it does not match with the steps they have showned on it, hence not able to achive...
Can someone help me to get me the Steps to achive this. ( ECC 6.0 EHP5)
Regards,
Venkat

Changing the behavior of a XCelsius 2008 Dashboard

Hello all,
i have a problem with the coded behavior of a dashboard in xcelsius 2008.
The main scene is:
there is an edit-field on the surface and a lot of checkboxes
The user enters an internal number into the edit and then klicks on an checkbox to start a crystal-report
this is the actual version and its ok: report starts and the entered number is given as a parameter to the report (via open-document)
But the new requierement is, that if the user has clicked several checkboxes (and on the surface you can see several checkmarks) to start several reports and then reenter the given number in the editfield, all previous checkmarks had to be cleared on the canvas.
I tried this in excel but i allways get a circular reference while trying to memorize the first number for a comparison with the next input.
Perhaps it is more logical problem, but as a beginner on xcelsius i dont know much about the possibilities of coding within the excelshhet - is it possible to use vba-scripting for this?
because if i use only formulas i can't solve this problem/requirement.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your quick answer.
The reset-button is also in the Dashboard, but the idea was, that this action can be implemented, so that the user only has to insert numbers without clicking another element (the reset button) It was an idea of comfort to handle this implicitly.
Thanks

Xcelsius 2008 - Life cycle management

All,
We have developed Xcelsius 2008 dashboards (by QAAWS) which are published in BO XI 3.0 Enterprise Infoview. How do we promote Xcelsius dashboard from development to production? Do Import wizard help on this?
Below are the workflow that I think about:
1) Create QAAWS in both development and production
2) Create dashboard in Xcelsius 2008 in development through WSDL URL created in QAAWS
3) Publish the report in BO 3.0 Infoview.
4) Through Import Wizard, import dashboard from dev to prod.
My question is how do we map the imported dashbaord in production to production WSDL URL.
Please let me know the above approach for Xcelsius 2008 life cycle management is correct.
Thanks
Jai

Thanks Jon. So all I need to change Web Service URL from:
http://bodevserver:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
to
/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/FIAR?WSDL.
But how will this change to production server WSDL URL when this report moves to prod by import wizard?
Below is the work flow I did in QAAWS client:
1) Created 2 URL one for Dev and another for Prod
2) Created first URL in development through QAAWS client and deploy the same in prod by changing the prod server name.
For Dev --> http://bodevserver:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/FIAR?WSDL
For Prod --> http://boprodserver:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/FIAR?WSDL
I am still confused how these above 2 links helpful in Xcelsius to do life cycle managemnet without any mannual interpretation.
Thanks
Jai

Best practice Xcelsius 2008 MS SharePoint integration

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if this is best practice on integrating Xcelsius 2008 dashboards with BW connections into MS SharePoint?

BR Katrin

Yes. Please also refer to the White paper mentioned in the Wiki page.

Xcelsius 2008 Tabbing Through Fields

I am looking for a way to make my PDF Xcelsius 2008 Dashboards 508 compliant by using the keyboard to be able to tab through and select fields. Is this possible and, if so, how? Also, how would I select the tab order of the input fields? Thank you.

Ah! Huge mistake on my part. I got excited at seeing my problem that I missed the "PDF" part of the original description (ours is a swf file posted online) and it seems our company upgraded to Dashboard Design 6.0.0.0 without my awareness.
I've created a new discussion for my particular issue here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3269033
My apologies for the confusion.

Can Xcelsius 2008 Engage coexist on the same machine as SAP Crystal Dashboard Design?

I still have the requirement to maintain dashboards created with Xcelsius 2008 SP5. Will the install of SAP Crystal Dashboard Design: Departmental overwrite or disable the ability to run Xcelsius 2008 on the same machine?

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure I phrased the question very well, as I said in the post I am aware Personal Edition does not require viewing licenses. What I was asking was whether the 'internal business use only' clause in the EULA prevented dashboards built with Personal Edition from being placed on external company sites?
If anyone could provide an answer to this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

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.

Not able to see Data in Xcelsius 2008

Hi everyone,
My question is I am not able to see data in Xcelsius spreadsheet although I am able to connect to SAP BW and also able to see and select query but when I select Cross Tab Data in output Values it is not displaying in Xcelsius spreadsheet
System Info
Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise Trial Version SP 3.0
SAP BW 7.1 SP 6 ABAP and JAVA
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Rashid,
When you are using the BW conenction in Xcelsius you will not see any data in the spreadsheet at design time or at preview time.
To see the data you need to go SAP > Publish, then SAP > Launch to test the dashboard in the NetWeaver Portal as that is the only place where the data can be viewed.

Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC

Hi Experts,
I am trying to use Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC.
I want following functionality in my dashboard:
1. There is a drop down in the dashboard for Year-Month selection.
2. Based on that selection, the BPC query to be refreshed for the selected month and my dashboard will show data for the selected month. While integrating with WebI using LiveOffice, we used to do this by binding the prompt to a cell in excel and selecting on demand refresh option. Can we do the similar thing while integrating with BPC ?
3. Can we create multiple BPC reports in the same excel file to build the excel model for my dashboard ?
Can these requirements be achieved by using Xcelsius on top of BPC using EPMConnector.xlx ?
Many thanks,
PASG

Hi Sanjay,
You need to use different operation types of the EPM Connector for this.
Have a look at this how to guide:

Xcelsius 2008 SP4 won't work on Win 7 but does on XP ?

Hi I posted this a few weeks ago but no one has replied thought I'd try again it is really anoying I have to type everything in word and cut and paste into Xcelsius
Touching any key on keyboard locks up Xcelsius Mouse OK SP4
Posted: Feb 1, 2012 2:37 AM Edit Reply
Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with xcelsius and using the keyboard. I have now tried the Enterprise Edition Xcelsius 2008 SP4 on 3 x Windows 7 machines (and the Xcelsius SP3 with hot fix 3.3 on 2 windows 7 machines) and if I open a new project drag a pie chart onto the canvas (or anything) and try to replace the heading pie chart with "MyChart" as soon as I hit the M the software locks up and I get the following message.

The strange thing is that if I write MyChart in a cell in the excel sheet and copy and paste it over Pie Chart it works fine as soon as I hit a key (even the backspace) I lock up the program. We tried on a clean image Windows 7 machine that IT hadnu2019t given out yet and same thing happened then we loaded it on an old XP machine and it worked!
I Tried changing the compatibility to Run on XP SP3 but that didnu2019t help and turning on run as Administrator made no differance
. Any ideas?
This is the same for changing the timing for the xml maps thatu2019s where I first noticed the keyboard locking up the software, you can change the time with the 2 arrows via the mouse but if you highlight 5 and then hit the 6 key its the same error as above
Extra weird just opened it up and went to the help thought Iu2019d type in u201Ckeyboard locks upu201D and guess what as soon as I hit the K, same error
All our images have Office 2007, Dasault Draft site and a few other bits of software I was running 4.5 Xcelsius and that was OK
Any ideas would be most helpful.
Darren

Hello David
Thanks for replying this is really bugging me. Sorry I've been a while replying I've been overseas on a course last week and didn't have work email access.
Firstly the machines that I have tried it on are HP desktops about 1-2 years old with USB keyboards
I tried the on screen keyboard and it locked up as soon as I clicked on a character whilst trying to rename a pie chart, this was the same for a remote net support session, and a remote RDP login to my machine by our IT department.
Our IT guy said the keyboard drivers were current but I may just try and do an upgrade and reply a bit later on that as well.
Does not happen on any other software on this machine.
I'm checking for Flash upgrades but we currently have 11.1.102.55 and the newest is 11.1.102.62 so will load that and reply later also.
Do you think it possible to download a corrupted version of Xcelsius the stupid thing about that idea is that I downloaded SP4 but if I load SP3 hotfix 3.3 that also locks up and I have that on an official DVD from Rockwell Automation as Xcelsius comes with their Factory Talk Vantage Point software as a dashboard builder.
Thanks again Darren

Error Opening Adobe PDF created with Xcelsius 2008

I am using an SAP Product - Xcelsius 2008 to create a dashboard that I exported to PDF. The document essentially contains a Flash SWF file embedded in the PDF. I can open it up fine with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Some of my colleagues can open it up using Adobe Reader. Many recipients who have a older version of Adobe Acrobat get an error stating: "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version o four Acrobat products. Please visit our product site at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat." My question is, is there a way to resave the PDF file as an older, more compatible version for people who have Acrobat 8 or earlier versions?
Troy

Version 8 should work, but not earlier, since they did not have an internal flash player.

Xcelsius 2008 FP2 won't export to swf

Hello,
I can not get Xcelsius to preview or export to swf. The progress bar labelled "Generating swft" displays for approximately 3-5 minutes until Xcelsius.exe finally crashes and the app closes. I'm running Xcelsius 2008 SP1 with FP2, Live Office XI R2 and Flash 10 (lastest version). I've also looked at the Flash security as described in other forum posts and that does not appear to be the issue.
The .xlf I'm working with was successfully completed and published to Crystalreports.com and is working fine. The problems began when two additional Live Office connections were added to allow for some additional data points in the next release of the dashboard. The data model now contains a few hundred more rows and a few hundred forumlas causing the Excel file to increase to just under 1MB. The total number of rows of data return in all Live Office connections combine are just over 1,000 rows. The max # rows setting in Xcelsius is set to 2,000. The formula cells added to the data model are fairly simple formulas that were successfully used in the data model previously (ISERROR, INDEX, MATCH).
On occasion, Xcelsius will give the message box "Your range has been reduced to the maximum rows allowed" before crashing.
Acting on this message I have removed the new Live Office connections, but the message/crashing continues. I have now scaled back the # of Live Office connections and # of formula cells way back to a very small number. the data model is now very small and quickly imports into Xcelsius yet the same message/crashing continues. I have verified that the data model currently in Xcelsius is the most recent, very small version of the data model, but Xcelsius still behaves like the large 1MB data model is present.
I don't know if this is even a # rows/data model size issue or a config/bug issue. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
I've read the PDF on FP3, but don't see this scenario listed. Might FP3 help? I need to be FP3 is compatible with publishing swf files to Crystalreports.com which is a BOE XI R2 platform.

thanks for the quick advice. so we can scale back the data to within 512 rows by splitting this into 2 dashboards. Not ideal, but shouldl be acceptable.
The data is already pre-aggregated. The data sources for this data model are crystal reports that are published in Crystalreports.com and refreshed nightly against a 3rd party API. Virtually all of the formulas required in Excel are used to line up rows of data that are being pulled in from 2 seperate live office queries. All of the required data points could not be included in a single crystal report so 2 are needed and the rows matched up in Excel using an INDEX(MATCH) formula. We are not using any unsupported functions or VLOOKUP per the advice of an Xcelsius best practice document I located in this forum. I'm open to any suggestions on better techniques to align related rows of data from two seperate ranges in Excel so they essentially appear as though they came from a single data source.
I am starting to lean toward the # of formulas in the data model as being the issue and have added fitlers to the live office query to cut the # of rows to only 20% of what was originally being retrieved. The # of formulas were also reduced by the same percentage. However, when trying to preview or export to swf, Xcelsius still gives the same message that the range was reduced to the max allowed and then crashes. It's as if Xcelsius is still seeing the old data model. Perhaps something is being cached that isn't clearing out? Even a full remove and re-install of Xcelsius SP1, Live Office and FP2 has had no affect. Maybe we need to build a new .xlf from scratch?
thanks

Xcelsius 2008 Dashbord not working

Hi,
We have BI Dashboards integrated to CRM portal via OpenDocs and using flash variables in Dashboard designer. Current version details are: BO XI 3.1 SP6 (earlier version was BO XI 3.1 SP3), and Xcelsius 2008 build on top of QAAWS>BO Universe>BEx queries (BW).
The SWF executable which is already published in the existing non-prod and prod environment is working fine via CRM Portal or OpenDocs URL directly. There are few dashboard/ report parameters which CRM / OpenDoc passes to these dashboards using flash variables.
Issue: We are trying to restore Dashboard XLF (Source code) in all the environments, since they were not published earlier. However, while doing so, we are getting MDX error (RSTT trace is showing that parameters are not getting passed on to the BW side for execution). We are passing dummy parameters in flash variable section to test dashboard functionality via designer. Why is it the case that executable (SWF) is working fine, but source code (XLF) is not.

Yes i did that and entered my details, i am able to log in to the CMS server but the SAVE button does not work

Xcelsius 2008 Connect to universe

Hi:
     I m is the fresh in BO area. I install the BusinessObjects XI 3.1 and Xcelsius 2008,
     I create universe , and develop same Webi report in the infoview.
     now , i wanna use Xcelsius 2008 connect to universe ,
    then use universe as the dataSource.
    but when i open Xcelsius 2008 click File--Open from platform ,can not find any universe folder in it.
   and not find any related connection about universe in "Data Manager"
what can i do . thx

Hi ,
You can not open any universe files using xcelsius 2008.We can just connect to universe using live office from excel and we can fire a query same as Qwaas. The option you are trying to open can open only xcelsius file that was saved in BOE platform. In dashboard design[Xcelsius latest version] which is launched recently can connect directly to universe to fire query directly without using live office.
If you want to get the data from universe without using Qwaas you can create a query in universe using live office.
In Xcelsius go to Excel and click on live office tab and click on universe query.It will open the universe objects,using those objects you can create a query.
Note: To use live office, you need to install microsoft live office.You can download it from sap service market place.

Vishnu
