Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise Installation Steps

Hi,
Please guide me how to install Xcelsius 2008 ENTERPRISE on a Windows 2003 Server, where BOXI3.0 is installed.
When I installed Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise on a XP PC, after the install it is showing Xcelsius PRESENT 2008.
Thanks & Regards,
RAFEEQ

hi rafeeq,
1.) Make sure there is no older version of Xcelsius installed on the system.
(uninstall old xcelsius installations and manually remove all xcelsius-related registry entries)
2.) Restart the system
3.) Install Xcelsius (SP1) with Admin-Account
4.) Make sure you entered the correct Enterprise serial
5.) Restart the system
I hope this helps, otherwise check the threads about activation issues.
Best Regards
Ulrich

Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise Chart Visualization Options - Sparkline Anyone?

While Crystal Xcelsius certain has an awesomeness factor, there seems to be a limitation when it comes to the variety of data visualization charting options available to use. If this product is supposed to be the "de-facto" dashboarding tool offered by BusinessObjects post the SAP acquisition, one would think they would make an effort to enhance the product to include the same level of dashboarding options as were previously available through older products recently phased out. For example, the variety of chart types to use is quite limited in Xcelsius 2008, whereas, Dashboard Manager, previously offered as part of the Business Objects Enterprise solution stack (XI R2 & R3), was much richer in terms of available charting types offered when constructing a dashboard, covering a host of business relevant subject and measurement areas within the concept of a catalogue of related objects. Crystal Xcelsius 2008 is the replacement offering, and holds its own for other reasons, like the interactive visualization of data, which no one can compete with in this space. However, with its limited charting options, it seems from reading the dev library and BOB-board that SAP/BusinessObjects is advising folks to create their own add-ons, i.e. their own charts which can be deployed and used as templates, thus, solving the problem. For those of us who are non-germane code writers in their day to day work, this option is not viable as it requires a modicum of software development practice to write Xcelsius add-on packages, much like the experience of using QWAAS which is comparable to ASP.NET coding vs. making the data connectivity to the dashboards from data feed types like a Universe or a relational database.
Having vetted my frustration, here is my ask...I would like to create a sparkline chart in Xcelsius -- I have a copy if you want to see what I am trying to describe, the image, just an example which I found on the web. The presentation of this chart type has a very "Xcesius-y" look and Feel to me so I thought I would ask the group a) interest in a topic thread on this forum related to sharing Xcesius add-on or related Source code files in an effort to maintain a sense of helpful product exploitation ala the Apple Apps open source platform concept. I need help with the Sparkline sooner rather than later so any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you seen the spakeline add-in by Donald?

Dashboard Automation - Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise 5.7.0.0

Hi,
currently i'm working on a dashboard automation project where my exported dashboard should always pick up the XML from the folder it is currently located. Already set up everything but i have no clue how to dynamically set up the XML connection path. Therefor i would appreciate any ideas or direct solutions.
Thanks,
Jan

Hey Amit,
thank you for your answer. Did check the tutorial and it doesn't help me. Already set up a basic XML connection and i know how to deal with it. Maybe i wasn't precise enough:
I would like to use the same Dashboard generated as SWF over and over again. The location/path will change a lot but it always will read from the XML file which is always the same name and stored with the SWF in the same folder. The problem is that the path will be always different, so that XML file should be read dynamically from the folder the SWF file is stored inside of. Basically the XML path should be relative.
Thanks once again for any ideas and/or solutions

BO 3.1 after Xcelsius 2008 installation

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with BO 3.1 environment after Xcelsius 2008 installation. When i try to open Webi reports in InfoView (which worked fine before the installation), "Cannot execute this operation: a valid license was not found (Error: INF)" message appears.
I have applied licence codes from partner's temporary license files (Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise license and BO 3.1 Enterprise license).
I tried to unistall Xcelsius to prevent Webi reports from crashing but after that CMS is not able to start. Actually Configuration Manager shows that it works just fine but there is not a possibility to log on to it.
Anyone have some suggestions regarding this issue
PS. my system is Windows 2008 Server.
Best regards
Wojtek Materna

Thanks for the quick response Wojtek!
However, reinstallation of Xcelsius didn't work for me and removing it only made things worse so now I have redone the whole BOXI 3.1 installation and things seems to work so far. It was only a demo server so it wont be to much hassle getting content back.

Xcelsius 2008 Fix Pack 3.4 (FP 3.4) installation error

Hi,
I have Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise FP 3 running on XP 32-bit with Office 2010 just fine.
However when I try to install FP3.4 I'm getting the error: "Xcelsius 2008 requires adobe flash player 9,151 or later". I've confirmed I've flash 10,2,153,1 installed.
Any ideas?
Thks,
William

Hi,
If you search this forum , you can find some threads dedicated to this issue related with compatibility with office 2010.
As of now Xcelsius 2008 (5.3.5.0 which is the latest one) does not support Office 2010. you can find a way out to install Xcelsius, but later you have to face issues functionality as well as performance wise and also when ever you try to install latest Fix Pack it will throw error because installer perform a check before installation. SP 4 is going to support office 2010 and also Crystal Dashboard Design 2011. As said above Ghost path is one of the many workaround.
So I would suggest you uninstall the 2010 Office and install office 2007.
Good Luck & Keep Posting.

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:

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

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.

Matt

Xcelsius 2008 - Known Issues (Installation)

AA: Area Affected
PD: Problem Description
WA: WorkAround
AA: Installing QAAWS from BOE Client
PD: The Query As A Web Service (QAAWS) application has been combined with the BOE XI 3 BusinessObjects Client application. It was previously a separate application.
This means that to use BOE XI 3 QAAWS with Xcelsius 2008, you must download the BOE XI 3 BusinessObject Client from the Business Objects Support site and install it on your client machine.
WA: To install QAAWS download the BOE XI 3 BusinessObjects Client. You may or may not have access to this download based on the type of licensing agreement you have with Business Objects. Note that the BOE XI 3 BusinessObject client is about 600MB in size.
AA: Installing Xcelsius 2008 when a higher version of the Adobe Flash Player exists
PD: The Xcelsius 2008 installer will install a version of the Adobe Flash Player. If you have previously installed a higher version of the Flash player, you will get a warning message from the Xcelsius 2008 installer.
WA: You can ignore this warning message. Your newer version of the Flash Player will not be changed.
AA: Installing Xcelsius 2008 with other older BOE products.
PD: After installing Xcelsius 2008 on a machine, some other older BOE products on the same machine stop working (eg. WebI Report Server, BOE XIR2)
WA: Many BOE products share the same installer, as a result installing Xcelsius 2008 on the same machine other older products changes the default install folder to the newer BOE folder. For example with BOE XIR2 it changes the default BOE install directory to change to BOE XI 3 folder.
C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\" is changed to
C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 12\"
The workaround is to manually edit the registry and change the key folder name back to its previous name.
Use regedit to view the folder name in the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Business Objects/Enterprise/InstallRoot/Path".
Double-click on path and change the Value data. In most cases the folder name is C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\
Note: please back up your registry before making any changes.
AA: Uninstalling Live Office XI 3 from a machine with Xcelsius 2008
PD: If you uninstall Live Office XI3 on a machine with Xcelsius 2008 also installed, the Xcelsius Keycode Expiry dialog box (License manager) pops up asking for the Xcelsius Keycode.
WA: The Xcelsius keycode must be entered again to re-enable Xcelsius.
AA: Installing Xcelsius with Office XP
PD: Currently installing Xcelsius 2008 with Office XP is not supported due to a bug. Use Office 2003 or Office 2007 instead. If Office XP must be used see the workaround.
WA: As a workaround to the issue of Xcelsius 2008 not installing with Office XP, users can manually add a registry key to enable installation. Please make a backup copy of the registry before making any changes.
1. Go to Start > Run. Start the registry editor by entering 'regedit'.
2. Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to \Software\Microsoft\Office\
3. Create an 11.0 folder, if it doesn't exist, by selecting Edit > New > Key from the menu.
4. Create a subfolder called PowerPoint
5. Create a subfolder under PowerPoint called InstallRoot
You should now have the folder structure listed below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\InstallRoot
6. From the InstallRoot folder create a string value called "Path" by selecting Edit > New > String Value
7. Select the newly created Path value and select Edit > Modify.
8. Under the Value Data field enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\"
9. Click OK.
10. Exit the registry editor.
11. Reboot your machine.
You should now be able to install Xcelsius 2008.
AA: Creating a Web Part for SharePoint Portal Server 2007
PD: The current Xcelsius Web Part installer Setup.exe does not work with SharePoint Portal Server 2007.
Note: Sharepoint Portal 2003 is supported.
WA: You can manually install the web part to use with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007. Microsoft does not provide a mechanism to build a Web Part installer for SharePoint 2007. For instruction on manual installation see the Xcelsius Support website. (see follow up post below)

The current Xcelsius Web Part installer Setup.exe does not work with SharePoint 2007 (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0). Here is the workaround to install Web Part in SharePoint 2007 manually.
The easiest way to install a web part in SharePoint is to add the web part assemblies to Global Assembly Cache. To do so:
1. Download and unzip the attached Xwp.zip. Drag Xwp.dll and ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll into C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder on the machine running SharePoint 2007.
2. Open web.config file located in the root of a Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 Web Application directory with Notepad. Normally, the physical location of the default WSS 3.0 Web Application root is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80.
[Click here for more information on how to Find the Web Application Root|http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms474356.aspx].
3. Insert the following <SafeControl> tag between <SafeControls> and </SafeControls>.
<SafeControl Assembly="Xwp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7e58495f1a9ea430"
Namespace="CrystalXcelsius.SharePoint.WebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
4. In SharePoint Portal Site Home page, from Site Actions drop-down menu, go to Site Settings->Modify All Site Settings. Click Web Parts under Galleries to open Web Part Gallery Page. Click New to open New Web Parts page. Check CrystalXcelsius.SharePoint.WebParts.Container checkbox and click Populate Gallery. Once it is populated, you will be able to add Container web part to your web part page in SharePoint 2007.

Xcelsius Enterprise Installation freezes at "Module Registration Phase"

Hi,
I initially installed Xcelsius2008 SP2 on my system and it worked fine.
However, I then tried to install BOXI 3.1 server on the same system. The installation did not succeed and had to be aborted. Xcelius also did not start after that.
Then,I tried to repair Xcelsius using the setup, and it was again unsuccessful.
Next I cleaned the registry deleted the BusinessObjects directory from HKLM/Software.Also removed the folders from the program files.
When I tried to perform a fresh installation of Xcelsius 2008 SP2, It freezes when the " Registering Modules" phase starts.Upon aborting and retrying it asks for continuing with the suspended installation and agian stops at the same place.
I have tired this a number of times but still the installation does not complete.
Can anyone figure out the solution to this?
Thanks,
Bharat

Hi,
Both are known errors.
LIBRFC32.DLL error can be resolved by installing the Remote Function Call Software Development Kit (RFC SDK), as described in SAPNote 27517. To this end, download the .sar file associated with the RFC SDK, unzip it, then place file LIBRFC32.dll in folder system32.
Register the LIBRFC32.DLL with the similar command but also provide the path.
For TCPDB Table take a look at SAPNote 15023 - Initializing table TCPDB (RSCP0004) (EBCDIC)
Hope this resolves your issues.

Suhas
