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 in SAP BPC 7.5 MS

    Hi experts,
    I have a couple of questions with regard to xcelsius in sap bpc 7.5 ms
    I am using SAP BPC 7.5 MS AND Xcelsius 2008 sp5.
    I already installed the required extended analyzer and EPM connector.
    Now here are my questions
    1st. I have a file named BPCDATAGRID.XLX, is it the same add ons that mentioned on the HTG? i tried adding this add on but everytime i add this file my xcelsius freeze. in short it was unsuccessful. Could you please teach me or tell me where or how to download the BPCDATA grid that was mentioned in the HTG?
    2nd. Since i installed the extended analytic analyzer. im wondering why the function =GetReportDefinition() wouldn't work.
    when i check the available functions of IDPrj.AnalyzerFuncs, it includes only two functions, namely AnalyzerOLAPMember and ButtonActionFormattingSheet. Will you please please please teach me how to deal with this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sorin,
    according to the guidlines, SAP posted in the wiki, for connecting SAP BPC to Xcelsius via XML connection I have to connect the XcelsiusService.dll via .NET framework 1.1.4322.
    This might not be the correct way anymore, but there is no other guide on how to connect BPC and Xcelsius.
    Can you provide info on a other way of connecting BPC to Xcelsius?
    Thanks in advance,
    Harmen

  • Xcelsius with SAP BPC 7.0 MS

    Hi all
    I have installed SAP BPC 7.0 MS version. In addition to this, I have downloaded trial version of Xcelsius 2008 from SAP Partner Site to test its functionalities. I want to connect SAP BPC with Xcelsius and I am following the How-To guide to do the same. However, the option to create connections under Data menu in Xcelsius is disabled. Is it because I have a trial version or am I doing something wrong here?
    Can someone from SAP please confirm?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Ameya Kulkarni

    Hi,
    I too had similar problem initially and I found that I have installed the wrong version of Xcelsius. This might be the case. So please look into this.

  • 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.

    It was working good with SAP Authentication when using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3.5
    Thanks

    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)

  • Xcelsius 2008 SP3 + SAP BW Integration

    Hi All,
    We are at BO Enterprise Server Ver 3.1 SP2 Fix Patch 2.5 on OS: AIX 5.3, Xcelsius 2008 SP3.1 and BW 7.0
    Xcelsius is unable to connect to BW. Msg we receive is..... "The system you are currently connected to is not BW 7.02 or newer. Please disconnect and choose a different system".......Our BW upgrade is not scheduled soon.
    As a work around QaaWS was opted to access live data. While accessing Enterprise server, we got a msg....... "you are trying to connect to a server which version is superior to XI 3.1. you may encounter unexpected issues. We recommend to connect to an XI 3.1 server"...... We proceeded and successfully create WSDL URLs but Drop down list of "Method" found to be emptywhen tried access it in Data Manager in Xcelsius.
    How to make Xcelsius work in our set up?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Vankeet,
    Did Xcelsius ever worked with your current existing BW netweaver 7 system?
    There are some prerequisites are mentioned in this SAP Note:
    Have a look at them...

  • XCelsius 2008 connectivity to SAP Netweaver BW

    Hi All
    I have installed xcelsius 2008 SP2(trial version) and trying to connect it to our BI (Netweaver 7.02) system through SAP NETWEAVER BW connectivity provided in xcelsius.
    While connecting it gives an "error : 2032" . I have some questions regarding it :
    1.  Does licensed version is necessary for making a connection ?
    2.  Do we need to install some Webserver like Apache TOMCAT to run it successfully ?
    3.  If answer to  point 2 is yes , then how can i move forward to config the TOMCAT and establish the connection ?
    4.  The prerequisite , NW 7.0 EhP1 SP5 with ABAP and Java stacks , on server side , means Portal(Java) + BI(ABAP) system or something else ? 
    As per note 1408384 , i have checked wsnavigator for bicsremote connectivity , that is working fine.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Karan,
    we are also facing this issue which is getting on our nerves.
    Our BI Backend has EHP2.
    We have also tried different versions of Xcelsius 2008 (3.2, 3.4, 4).
    No chance. After the password entry to our BI backend the system is working. And it ends without getting the query (meta) data  inside. We only see the query names. But after choosing they are not opening.
    Authorizations in Backend and Portal should be fine.
    The web services seem to run.
    So we absolutely have no idea.
    The evaluation version I also dont have. Because I could connet to another BI an could read the query.
    We are wordless. Stay tuned..
    Best regards Harry

  • 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.

  • Intalling BO front end tools on top of SAP BW (trial version).

    Hi All,
    I currently work on SAP BI and SAP Enterprise Portal projects.  I am looking at installing BO Front end tools on top of SAP BW (just a trial version though).  
    Does anybody have the links where I can download this software?  Also I have played about with Excelsious which appears to be the new version of analyzer.  What is the new version of Web Application Designer (Pioneer??)  Is it possible to integrate web templates created with BO into the SAP Enterprise portal? Is there any guides which explains how to create simple dashboards with BO front end tools and integarte them into the portal?
    I have a found some decent blogs already and am currently attempting to install BO onto my laptop.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Hello Nick,

  • 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
    The documentation is available from the SAP help portal. You can search for the Xcelsius guides here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/ and they include:

  • SAP BPC 7.0 - Microsoft Platform - SP Upgrade Question

    Hi Experts,
    I was tasked to upgrade the SP of our client's SAP BPC 7.0 -Microsoft Platform System from Release 7.0.116 (SP07) to SP09. Details are below
    Prod System:
    Multi Server : 2 Servers
    Application Server:
    Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Ed SP2 32-Bit
    IIS Web Server
    SAP BPC 7.0 Release 7.0.116
    Database Server:
    Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 64-Bit
    MS SQL 2008 64-Bit
    My question, since Server Manager Version 7.0.116 is equal to SP07, do i need to download SP08 and SP09, and then apply SP08, and the underlying patch on top of SP08, then SP09, or can i just simply download only SP09 and then install it only in our App Server, since it was mention in the Upgrade Guide that SP of SAP BPC are cumulative. And if there are any configuration settings that i need to take unto consideration? I'm new to this one since I'm accustomed of SP Upgrade in SAP ECC Systems in TxCode SPAM.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    After performing the steps Nilanjan suggested you may want to look at the Post-Installation Steps recommended by SAP. They are as below:
    Post-Installation Steps
    1. If you already have an application set in your previous version, do the following:
    a) After installing this support package, update existing reports by choosing Publish Report on the Web Administration page.
    b) If you have already enabled Insight, update existing reports by choosing Build Report on the Insight Dashboard page.
    c) To apply fixes available for business rules, choose Modify Application within the Administration Console. Do not select options related to desired application.
    2. This support package contains an appset parameter called RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE. To restrict data retrieval while an application set is unavailable, access the Appset Parameter page within Web Administration, then add a key named RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE with one of the following values:
    1, which allows retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
    0, which prevents retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
    Log off and then logon to BPC for Office if the system offline message displays after setting the application set to Available. This downloads the dimension cache file if a dimension member or structure has changed while the system was offline.
    3. We recommend changing the syntax of dimension formulas related to CSS message [IM 1249006] Data Integrity Issue with Account dimension / 4 Hierarchies as follows:
    a) Use [%dimension%].[%current hierarchy%].CurrentMember. Level.Ordinal>0 instead of [%dimension%].[%the other hierarchy%].[All %dimension%.%the other hierarchy%] in dimension formulas to check the status of the current view of the current hierarchy because the current member may have been changed as a member of another hierarchy within multiple hierarchy dimensions.
    b) Use 0 (zero) instead of NULL in IIF statements when the member from the current view does not match the condition of the IIF statement, as NULL may return an incorrect value. For example, if the hierarchy is the third hierarchy, #iif([Account].[H3].CurrentMember.Level.Ordinal>0,%Arg%, 0).
    4. To run the Management Console in multiple server environments, change Authentication and Access Control of the ManagementConsole virtual directory in IIS from Integrated Windows Authentication to Basic Authentication. You can find the virtual directory on the Application server in the Directory Security tab of the virtual directory's property in IIS.
    Hope this helps.
