XCelsius 2008 - result file performance

Hi.
We have problem with performance of swf-file generated by Xcelsius 2008.
In Xcelsius 4.5 we designed dashboard. Exported swf-file works good and fast. But when we export this dashboard using Xcelsius 2008, the result swf-file works too slow. After changing parameters we waiting about 20-30 sec for charts changig.
Why so different perfomanse the same dashboard on two version of Xcelsius? Where is the problem?

I have never worked on the older version of Xcelsius so i would suggest if possible can you export the Excel file from the older version and develop new dashboard in 2008? you wont need to do too much as you will have the exported version of Excel model!
i am not sure what else can be done

    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.

  • 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.

  • Xcelsius 4.5 file won't open in Xcelisus 2008

    Hi all,
    I have a dashboard model that was developed in Xcelsius Pro 4.5 and opens, exports and runs fine.
    I am trying to migrate this to Xcelcius 2008 (Version 5.1.3.0, Build 12,1,3,495 - ie. SP1 with FP3) but the .xlf file will not open.  I initially get the error "Failed to set localized strings", which is then followed by the error "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file.  This file may be corrupt or have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius".
    I have exported the Excel model from 4.5 and attempted to import that into Xcelsius 2008, but it just hangs with a "Server Busy" error - no other errors similar to when I try the .xlf.
    Can anyone suggest next steps for troubleshooting these problems?  I have tried across multiple Xcelcius instances on different PC's and the results are the same.
    Thanks
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
    When you tried migrating the Xcelsius models into 2008,were you trying to use Office 2007 sheet?
    Incase yes, try to open the source data in office 2007 and save it and then re-import it in 4.5 and then try to migrate the models to Xcelsius 2008.
    Regarding which component has got corrupted, its going to be very difficult to say unless I am able to see the dashboard and try to manually delete with some of the components.
    Incase you have very complex models created in Xcelsius 4.5 and trying to migrate to Xcelsius 2008,its recommended to create from scratch in Xcelsius 2008.
    Please revert incase you have any further queries.
    Thanks,
    Amit Mathur.

  • XCelsius 2008 is not backward compatible with ver 4.5

    Post Author: Joseph
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I tried opening a project that was done with ver 4.5 but it just said that "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or may have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius." So i guess I probably have to recreate the project in the 2008 version to take advantage of the new features available. So I imported the excel datasheet used in the old project to a new project in Xcelsius 2008 and tried recreating the objects from scratch. I had started with an accordion menu and two list boxes and then I decided to export to swf to test. However, the result was disappointing. I could only see the two list boxes but not the accordion menu. There was a message saying "Initializing..." that stayed. Does this mean I have to recreate the excel data from scratch as well?

    X2008 is backward compatible with CX4.5.  But Jim is correct. There is a bug in X2008 which prevents it from opening some 4.5 models by double-clicking on the filename.  They can be opened from the File > Open menu.  This only affects opening the model.Due to the many changes between CX4.5 and X2008, the migration of old CX4.5 models is not clean.  Differences will be seen.  Most are cosmetic affecting only the look of the model.  But some tidy up, color changes and re-alignment work must be done.   There was no way to gain the benefits of X2008 and still keep CX4.5 models unchanged.Andy  

  • 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 - 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 2008 doesn't support excel links?

    I'm building a dashboard with Xcelsius 2008 and my Excel sheet which I imported has a number of links to other Excel files - that is how the values are updated, from other Excel sheets. After adding a collumn graph component and setting it up appropriately, no collumns would show in preview mode. I added a speadsheet table component to see what was going on and all values are 0, that is why no collumns are showing. The values do, however, appear in the spreadsheet when in design mode as I wish they would in preview mode. I tried to export it and exporting yields the same results as preview mode.
    I'm impressed because Crystal Xcelsius 4.5, which I had been using up to now, supports links in imported Excel files with no problems.
    Is there any way to make Xcelsius 2008 honor the values as they should be, rather than setting all values taken from links to 0?
    Thank you for your responses.

    Hi:
       1. Do you mean, excel embeded another excel file using "Data->Import External Data->Import Data" then choose "excel file"? From my side, i try this scenairo and the chart can present the mapped data properly. (may be my model is to simiple...)
       2. For your excel links, I am not sure where the problem is, but I am suggest that, you can build your standalone excel sheet with excel mapping first, then import the excel file to Xcelsius, in this cases, we can distinguish whether the problem comes from excel feature itself or Xcelisus integration with Excel.
       3. I also think about the cases you are using, may be you have multiple individual spreadsheets, and want to embeded into one excel file which will be used in xcelsius, also, when the data change in the sub excel sheets, the main excel sheets should also be updated accordingly. (Please correct me if there is sth wrong)
       But for excel links you are using, I saw some limitation:
       a) when you open the main excel sheet, the sub excel sheet will be "read only", so that user can not modify the sub sheet at the same time.
       b) when preview, or export to swf file, you can not update the excel links at run time when mapped excel file changes, there is no update option for excel links as far as i know.
       So, to meet the scenario, you can use Data connection feature called "Excel XML Map":
       The detail steps is similar with excel links, the differences is you are going to map xml file to excel range. (if you have already have a number spreedsheet in your hand, you can first save the spread sheet as xml format, then map the xml file to main excel). In this case, when user modify the xml file and save, you can refresh the mian excel file to get the updates at any time, also Xcelsius data connection provide connection called "Excel XML Map" so you can also refresh the maps at preview time and run time.
    Hope it helps.

  • Best Practice Re-install Process?  (Xcelsius 2008 Engage)

    The main impetus of this post is now to request a best practice reinstall process.  E.g., what files/directories or registry keys to delete after uninstalling under Windows XP?  Running Xcelsius 2008 5.1.1.0 Build 12,1,1,344 (Windows XP SP2)?  I want to clean it up and reinstall completely, ideally without also reinstalling Office 2007.
    Earlier today, I had loaded up an otherwise healthy project and all of a sudden my edits were not taking.  I could perform the change in the Component Properties window but the change did not translate in the project display area.
    I had closed and reopened this project several times, killed both "Xcelsius" and "EXCEL" processes, rebooted the machine a couple of times, all to no avail.  I was totally stuck, it seems.  Then, it randomly corrected itself after the Xth close/reboot/reload.  I'm past the issue now it seems, but please consider this an official bug report.  These issues are no longer a mere minor nuisance, and I am looking forward to a nice big update in the next Fix Pack release, which I assume is right around the corner (hint, hint).
    Thanks.
    Edited by: f l on Nov 17, 2008 9:20 PM

    f l,
    I'm not sure deleting keys from the registry is ever a best practice, however Xcelsius has listings in:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Business Objects > Xcelsius
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Business Objects > Suite 12.0 > Xcelsius
    The current user folder holds temporary settings, such as how you've modified your interface.
    The local machine folder holds more important information.
    As always, it's recommended that you backup the registry and/or create a restore point before modifying or deleting any keys.
    As for directories, the only directory Xcelsius uses is the one you install to.  It also places some install logs in the temp directory, but they have no effect on the application.

  • Powerpoint and Xcelsius 2008

    Every time I create a PP from XCelsius 2008 (SP1,FP2) I get a message when closing PowerPoint;
    This Program requires a missing Windows content, check for ......."
    Even if I follow the instructions to check for the missing thing I can not figure out what it is that I miss.
    I also want to know why I get a blank screen when creating a PP file from xcelsius. When using presentation mode the flash file appears correctly.
    Please help[ me!!
    Hans

    Thanks Andy! This helps and it is not a big issue for me.
    Can you look at my other question I posted related to display text labels. I posted it last week. I can see that many other users must have the same issue. 
    Thanks again.
    Hans
    The issue:
    dashboards developed with XCelsius 2008 on a wide screen display hypertext correctly on a wide-screen display. However if the flash file is displayed on a regular (non-wide-screen) display the right most part of all hyper-text is displayed at the border line of a regular screen. This results in displaying the right data at a wrong position on a screen.
    It is easy to create this situation:
    Just display a dashboard in a reduced window and you will see that the label display changes positions on the right side of the screnn.

  • My list of Xcelsius 2008 Problems (so far)...

    Post Author: jezbraker
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    Been using it for a couple of weeks now with a view to moving our solution over to this to make use of the OFFSET function which should get around the performance issues we have faced in 4.5.Build info...Xcelsius 2008 version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121Windows XP sp2, Office 2003. 1) If you upgrade a 4.5 file into 2008 the list of components available is different to if you had created a clean 2008 file u2013 backgrounds change etcu20262) Transparency of the icon object seems to have been reversed in 2008 - things that were invisible in 4.5 have now all become visible!3) Grid behaviour has changed - now if a cell is empty the visible cell is compressed which looks pretty silly.4) The option to change the text colour based on Alert status within a grid has been removed - this means indicator flags can not be hidden making grids useless for showing any sort of complex alert.5) Stability of the product is very poor when the number of components used gets high...6) The product was formerly very WYSIWYG - but when a xlf is upgraded to 2008 the fonts shown in dev time are quite different in size to those shown in preview/swf7) Any 4.5 XLF that has an image component that contains an SWF fails to upgrade - it crashes during the rendering of the components.8) Memory usage seems very high in 2008 - just opening the product with an empty xlf uses up to 200mb. When dealing with pretty complex xlf's it goes to about 350mb! Good excuse for a memory upgrade though ;)Anyone else having the instability issues?  It could well be down to the locked down environments on the machines here so I will test it on a clean VM when i get chance...On the positives the new dev environment is much better (putting aside instability mentioned above) and the expansion of supported excel functions is much appreciated :)I very much look forward to the SP in July...Cheers,jez.

    Hi,
    I did not use the previous 4.5 version. We purchased Xcelsius 2008 last month, and so far we were excited of what we "thought" it could do. But the stability is extremely poor. I am trying to do a dashboard with tabs and accordion menus, line charts and texts; but it gets crazy after loading so many components and then it won't open the canvas again. I have to back up my work every 2 hours, because I lost my dashboard (and had to do it all over again) 7 times within a day!!
    We are testing Xcelsius 2008 using right now the import from excel functionality. But our goal is really to connect to a reporting database or XML data from PeopleSoft. With that said, is the Xcelsius Enterprise Server or the Engage version any better on stability? Or do those crash all the time as well?
    Is the SP that will be released in July applicable for all versions?
    Thank you,

  • Updating data in Xcelsius 2008 Export from Excel Spreadsheet

    Xcelsius 2008 newbie question....
    I have created a Xcelsius export (.swf) that display my data. However it appears the data is static after exporting.
    I am at a loss as to how you force it to update/refresh using the connections used in the excel.
    Am I missing something? I cannot find a straight answer, do need LiveOffice?
    How do I have an (.swf) export file that refreshes data itself????

    The easiest way to get data to update in your swf is to create a connection in the Data Manager.  After the connection is setup you can add a connection refresh button to allow the swf viewer to trigger that connection.
    To get data to refresh automatically, you can setup the connection to trigger or update on interval.

  • Windows server 2008 R2 File& Folder Permissions; Ghost Permissions From "Parent Object" Assigned to Folder Owner

    Windows 2008 R2 file server: Subfolders of a particular folder have an account that has Full Control permission that are listed as inherited. That account has no permissions in the parent folder. It was, however the account that was used to copy the folders
    and their contents in there from another source and was the owner of the folder.
    In Advanced Permissions, it shows them as inherited from "Parent Object" as opposed to the folder name of the parent folder (there are some of these.) (The parent folder of the place where the problem occurs does not inherit from _its_ parent)
    I removed it as owner and yet the permissions remained. (as displayed either through the GUI or with ICACLS.)
    If I make _any_ edit in Advanced Permissions, the 'ghost' permissions then go away (e.g. add my account with full control - I'm domain admin, so have that anyway) This step seems like it should be unnecessary, but it is required in this situation.
    I've done this to 5 of about 20 subfolders and it is consistent. Folders which did not have the 'problem account' as their owner did not exhibit this characteristic.
    This affects the files within the subfolders as well.
    Oddly, adding an owner to a folder has the same effect and required the same edit before the permissions are seen. This was tested on a different drive on the same server.
    Is this an anomaly, a bug, or expected performance?

    Hi,
    Do you mean that there is an account that has Full Control permission that are listed as inherited but it doesn’t appear in the parent NFS permissions? If so, please try to uncheck the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" checkbox,
    clicking Apply.
    There is a similar thread, please go through it to help troubleshoot this issue:
