Xcelsius 2008 - Known Issues (Application)

AA: Area Affected
PD: Problem Description
WA: WorkAround
AA: How to recover from an Xcelsius crash
PD: If Xcelsius crashes during use, it may leave an orphan Excel process running in the Windows Task Manager. This is most often seen when you can't restart Xcelsius or Excel.
WA: You must go to the task manager and kill the Excel process before restarting Xcelsius, otherwise an Error message will occur. Press the CTRL-ALT-DEL keys simultaneously. Click on Task Manager. Click Process tab. Find and highlight any Excel.exe process. Click End Process. Exit Task Manager. Restart Xcelsius.
AA: Importing an Xcelsius 2008 SWF as a Canvas Image
PD: The Xcelsius 2008 canvas property sheet allows you import various file formats as background images, including SWF files. However Xcelsius 2008 SWF files cannot be imported; non-Xcelsius SWF files and CX4.5 SWF files can be imported.
WA: Do not import Xcelsius 2008 SWF files as a background image into the canvas or any image component or slideshow. This may cause a crash.
AA: Object browser Delete Key does not work
PD: Object browser: "Del" shortcut key is not working to delete the component thru object browser - This is by design - to prevent deletion of grouped components by mistake.
WA: Use Edit Delete on menu or right-click Del to delete components from the Object Browser.
AA: Starting Xcelsius causes Server Busy Error
PD: Starting Xcelsius may occasionally cause a server is busy error.
This is usually caused by a currently running Excel process. When Xcelsius starts it attempts to launch an instance of Excel or reuse a current instance. If that instance is busy, a warning message is displayed.
WA: Please click 'retry' until the error disappears and Xcelsius starts normally.
AA: Excel Interaction with Compatibility Mode turned ON
PD: When you turn Xcelsius compatibility mode ON, you can only use Excel from within Xcelsius 2008. It will block other spreadsheets that are open or that you try to open using this instance of Excel.
WA: Compatibility mode will be turned OFF by default. If you turn it on and then you need to use Excel outside of Xcelsius 2008, turn off compatibility mode. Or launch another instance of Excel from Start - Programs menu.
If you attempt to open an external Excel spreadsheet (by double-clicking a file or opening an attachment in Outlook) all interaction with the spreadsheet is disabled.
If you launch a new instance of Excel and then try to open your spreadsheet or XLS attachment in Outlook it will open fine.
Compatibility Mode is found under the File - Preferences - Excel Options menu. For further information read the information in the Release Notes supplied with the Xcelsius 2008 installer documentation.
AA: Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 XLF files won't open by clicking
PD: Trying to open an Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 XLF by clicking on the filename results in an Xcelsius 2008 error message: "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or have features that cannot be supported by this version of Cyrstal Xcelsius."
WA: There is a known issue with Xcelsius 2008 opening Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 models by clicking on the filename. The workaround is to open the models in Xcelsius 2008 from the File-Open menu instead.

1) arrow keys don't re-position selected elements on the stage
2) fonts are ~2 units smaller after an import from 4.5 into 2008.

    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 2008 - Known Issues (Security)

    AA: Area Affected
    PD: Problem Description
    WA: Work Around
    AA: Access across network domains using a crossdomain.xml file for the Flash Player
    PD: For security reasons, an Adobe flash player is not allowed to access data that resides outside the exact web domain from which the SWF originated.
    Various error messages may be displayed but the most common is "Unable to Load URL: http://boe-server:8080/dswsbobje/services/session"
    WA: A crossdomain policy file is a simple XML file that gives the Flash Player permission to access data from a given domain without displaying a security dialog. When placed on a root folder of a server, it tells the Flash Player to allow direct access to data on that server, without prompting the user to grant access.
    For example, for use between different BOE servers, the crossdomain.xml should go in the associated Tomcat folders. Location: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\ROOT.
    Either download or create a crossdomain.xlm file to allow the flash player used by Xcelsius 2008 access across domains and place in the root folder of all necessary servers.
    Read the details on the Adobe website. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14213&sliceId=2
    AA: Viewing content stored on a local drive
    PD: Locally stored SWF files that contain components that call content (e.g. images, XML data, a child SWF) stored on the same local drive will receive an error, unless the local drive has been listed as a trusted location in the Flash Player security settings.
    This may also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
    WA: Set Flash Player Security Settings to allow the local drive to be trusted. Also see the Xcelsius 2008 Installer Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
    This will also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
    To enable trust:
    1.)Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
    2.)Select "Always Allow"
    3.)In the "Always trust files in these locations:" drop down, select "Add location..."
    4.)Browse for the location in which your SWF file is located.
    AA: Viewing Hosted Parent SWF with Local Child content in XI 3 Infoview
    PD: Export to BOE XI 3 a swf (parent) that has local content (e.g. a child swf, or image) stored on a local PC. View the parent SWF in Infoview and it can't load the child swf.
    WA: This is an Adobe Security restriction. The Flash 9 Player does not allow a SWF hosted on a URL (i.e. BOE InfoView or a website) to load in a file that is stored on a local file system. There is no workaround for this.
    Please see the following security document:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf
    Also see the Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
    AA: Running a SWF (flash) file in a browser shows empty page
    PD: Opening an Xcelsius SWF in a web browser may show a blank page.<span>  </span>There may also be a warning message shown.
    WA: If you get a pop-up warning, please follow the directions given. For example in IE: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls...Click here for options..."

  • X_cons and Windows 2008 - known issue?

    Are there any known issues with MaxDB and especially x_cons on Windows 2008? I´m doing a system copy, the database is running, loading of the database (via R3load) is running fine also. (and yes, I know, W2K8 is not yet officiall released).

  • Xcelsius 2008 msi issue

    I see no way out of this quandary.  Please provide guidance.  I did have SP1 on my version of Xcelsius 2008.  But when I tried to update to SP3 I kept getting the dreaded error 1706 "no source could be found for product Xcelsius 2008..."  So I uninstalled the software.  It will reinstall fine off of the CD upon which I stored the original download and keycode.  But I cannot apply any updates without the 1706 error.
    I now have Xcelsius 2008 one version below where I was yesterday! The 2008 install I have is an EXE that was downloaded and does not create or keep a msi.   SP3 is also an EXE.  The fix packs are zipped but do not have msi files.  Perhaps SP1 was zipped but it is not longer available for download.
    I have read other posts on this issue and none of them seem to work.  I have uninstalled the 2008 version and tried to install SP3 and still get the same error. 
    The error keeps pointing me to a temp directory where I once perhaps had an installation package.  It is no longer there. 
    Who would have thought that updating would be so kludgy. 
    Please help.
    Bill

    I did look at the KB article.  I cannot find anything in my registry with MediaPackagePath or MediaPackage that relates to Xcelsius.  There is no msi anywhere on my machine that relates to Xcelsius. 
    So this is weird.  I uninstalled the original version of 2008 again.  Then just for fun I downloaded the TRAIL version of the program.  It has the same problem.  The prompt wants me to look in the temp file where I must have installed SP1 a few years ago for Xcelsius2008.msi.  The trial version has XcelsiusPresent.msi and if I point to that it still barfs and says that it is not a proper installation file for the program.
    So any ideas as to how to kill that pointer to the old temp directory?  There must be something somewhere that is sticking around even after I uninstall...
    Thanks.

    Different environments mean just that. So something could be causing it outside java.
    Additionally if anything at all is different in the execution data, such as even a name having a different size, then it would change the execution path.
    Which would cause a problem in the JNI code to manifest itself on only one box. Probably isn't a pointer bug but all sorts of odd behavior can result from that.

  • Xcelsius 2008 : BO XI SSL ISSUE

    Post Author: FLugand
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    BO XI R2 SP2 with SSL certificate.
    We have an issue with IE and the URL button. The URL doesn't load.
    https://server:8443/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=aTest2008
    And it works with Firefox. It also works with IE without SSL on our BOXI server.

    Post Author: FLugand
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I've changed my response header to :
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");response.setHeader( "Pragma", "public" );
    And it works fine.
    My last issue with Xcelsius 2008 is the XML Data variable name resolution. It works with the position of the variable in the XML file but not with their names. In the "Connection Refresh - XML.xlf" from the user guides samples, I've changed the variable name from Range_0 to Dummy and it still works !
    Do you know if it will be corrected in the july release ?

  • Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

    Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

    If there is a pattern of the application working up to Firefox 3.6.3 and not working starting with Firefox 3.6.4, there could be a problem with trying to communicate events between firefox.exe (which hosts pages) and plugin-container.exe (which hosts some plugins). You can tweak your settings to force plugins to run in firefox.exe to see whether this is the problem. This article has some background information on that:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    ''Do you know if there are problems with Firefox 3.6 when you double click in a JSP/JAVA/Javascript application?''
    No, I don't know. Obviously I can't read every post here, but I haven't read about it before.
    Is it a stupid question to ask: why does that matter?? To fix the application to work in Firefox 3.6 and above, we need to see a page that works on other browsers and fails in Firefox. It doesn't need to be the whole application, just enough to demonstrate the problem so that if we solve it, then you can apply that learning back to your application.

  • Upgrade to SP3 from sql server 2008 R2 SP2 and SharePoint server 2010 known issues

    Hi Guys,
    We are planning to upgrade SQL server to SP3 from 2008 R2 SP2 and would like to known if there are any known issues with SharePoint 2010 server and office web apps.
    Though I was searching blogs and forums and could not find any noteworthy but wanted to look if any noted SharePoint issues after the upgrade.
    VM

    Hi Venu,
    There should no issue for SharePoint 2010 with install SP3 for SQL2008R2 (also like comments mentioned in article below), I searched from internal and internet, there seems no document/article mentioned the known issue for SharePoint about this, you can
    back up your environment and test the SP3 in a test environment before touching the production environment.

  • 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)

  • Issues with Service Pack 2 for Xcelsius 2008

    I installed SP2 for Xcelsius 2008 and after completion I opened the xcelisius and found the Vertical Axis Labels are disabled under
    the Apperance tab -> Text  for the columnar chart components. But when I insert a new component they become visible.
    It is a big dashboard and recreating all the components all over is a nightmare.
    Can someone please suggest if there is a fix for this ?
    THanks,
    Sam

    Sam,
    Copy all the components from the existing dashboard and paste it in a new one. This should solve your problem.

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

    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.

    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

  • Web Service Connection in Xcelsius 2008

    I have recently upgraded from 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 and am having trouble getting the Web Service Connections set up correctly for my QaaWS.
    I have 7 LiveOffice connections in a model that seem to all refresh on load fine and i have already set up a Web Service Connection that picks up the drill through path of what the user has clicked on and used them as input parameters to a QaaWS query.
    I now need to add another Web Service Connection for another QaaWS and i get the following error message;
    "Unable to Load URL"
    I have checked the available QaaWS services using dswsbobje/qaawsservices and the 2 queries appear as i would expect.
    I have checked the dsws.properties file and the user name and password are correct (which i would expect as teh 1st connections works in the Xcelsius model.
    I have restarted the Tomcat server and CMS and this does not cure the problem.
    I have even tried re-installing QaaWS.
    I have installed SP1 fix 1 for 2008. I am currently using XIR2 SP2.
    Can anyone help as sometimes this functionality works and sometimes it does not. The 2 queries i want to use point aty teh ssame database and BO Universe.

    Hi Anthony,
    You might check that type of the licence type of the user QaaWSPrincipal. I had a problem where the QaaWSPrincipal user was Concurrent Access License while my server was Named User only. Switching to Named User resolved the problem.
    However, I am not sure that this is your issue as the you have one QaaWAS url working. YOu might want to check your URL is available
    try
    http://<name of server>:<Tomcat port number>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices
    This contains a list of all URLs. Finally, you might look at importing the wsdl into other applications to see if the issue is Xcelsius or QaaWS related. You can copy to MS Office InfoPath with steps described below.

  • Problem with Xcelsius 2008 sp3 service pack chart slider into adobe flex

    Hello All,
    I tried to use the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 and created a Chart with a slider the new UI element which is introduced in the Service pack versions ..  now i tried to implement the logic in Adobe flex builer 3 setting the compiler properties as hot fix 2.0 . Followed all the rules like creating an action script and creating MXML component.. Now when i try to embed the same swf whic is generated into webdynpro component it gives me error tht some classes or some events or some variables are missing..
    According to my assumption i doubt wether the xcelsius 2008 sp3 will support the adobe flex 3 with this hot fix which i was initialy using .. So can anybody suggest me what can be doen to overcome this issue and make my new chart with slider run in my webdynpro abap :(...
    Regards,
    Sana.

    Hi Sana,
    You might be using Flex 3 sdk library files.
    Just check in Properies of your Flex project -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path .
    You might get the library files as Flex 3.*
    If it is the case then change it to Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3.
    now create a new project and compile your application and use the same swf.
    Otherwise try to import any existing Flex 2 project folder with compiler flex 2 ver. then try the same swf in your xcelsius application.
    Regards,
    Vivek
