Xcelsius 2008 SP1 Fix Pack 2 is out

Just an FYI for all. Just noticed the fix pack has been published.
[Download|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]

I'm pleased and excited overall with FP2 so far, but I can't use it due to the following change:
ADAPT01134323 Description: If the Source Data of Icon is dynamic data that inserted by other selectors, changing the source data, destination data doesnu2019t update dynamically. New Behavior: This issue is resolved.
This is a change from past behavior all the way back through v4, and a serious blow to custom solution development. Icon components have come to be the tool for many, many solutions due largely to the fact that they are the rare component that does not insert immediately upon receiving new source data. This is great for paging, or for creating buttons in multiple places on a page that control the same dynvis cells.
And, most notably, there's already a component that behaves exactly as this new version of the icon does--the toggle button. Now we essentially have two toggle buttons, and no icon anymore.
Please either bring back the old functionality on this one, or add more options under "Interaction Options" so users can decide how they want source data changes handled.
Let me know if it would help for me to post an example.
Thanks,
Brian

Can't uninstall XCelsius 2008 SP1, in order to install SP3.

Hello,
I'm attempting to uninstall XCelsius 2008 SP1 (FP3), in order to install SP3, as per the instructions. However I am running into the same error message that is found in this thread: [SP3 Wont install because I can't get current version off|SP3 Wont install because I can't get current version off].
I am receiving the same error code u201Ccanu2019t find Xcelsius.msiu201D and then u201CError 1706.u201D
I attempted to follow the instructions to edit the registry, but could not find the string "MediaPackage" anywhere, so I don't know what my next step should be. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!!

Hi,
I had a similar problem and had no luck resolving it until I tried the MS installer fix utility.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe
That worked for me.

QAAWS does not work after upgrade to SP1 Fix Pack 3

Hello experts,
I have Xcelsius 2008 Ver 5.00.99 Build 12,1,0,247
Today it was upgraded to SP1 Fix Pack 3 due to some issues with the Excel Formulas - it didn't help to resolve the issue with the showing Formulas in preview and I also discovered the QAAWS not working - either new generated connection or old ones causing the "Unable to load URL error" when I try to load the WSDL.
Please give me any suggestion what can I try wrt this QAAWS issue.

Brian,
I have the same view.
In BOXI R2 if you took the the URL and pasted it into internet explorer you would see the WSDL. In BOXI 3.1 this does not occur. A list of newly define queries, or queries that have been re-run in BOXI 3.1 are displayed. The list contains links, but navigating using these links does not display the WSDL.
I am not sure if not being able to see the WSDL is causing my problem but it would explain the 'null' error. I can also see that QAAWS now creates the URLs with a new format when compared to the BOXI R2 URLs, may be this is causing the problem?
Regards

Report Selection Formula Error with Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5

Hello,
My name is Carlos, and I would like to report a defect found in the Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime that is affecting the majority of our reports. As well, I would like to ask if there is a simple workaround that does not involve updating hundreds of reports.
The issue is that the runtime engine incorrectly returns the report selection formula. I have included sample code showing what I mean.
To reproduce;
1. Create a simple report that has a date range filter like:
({Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE})
AND ({Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE})
2. Create a test app as follow that loads a report using the following code:
ReportDocument rpt = null;
try
rpt = new ReportDocument();
rpt.Load("TestReport.rpt");
this.txtMessage.Text = string.Format(
    "ReportSelectionFormula:{0}{1}",
     Environment.NewLine,
rpt.RecordSelectionFormula);
catch (Exception ex)
this.txtMessage.Text = ex.ToString();
3. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341772011E/cr2008fp35_redist.zip]..
4. Execute the app.
At this stage, the screen shows
ReportSelectionFormula:
(   ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} )   AND   ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} )   )
The expected value is:
ReportSelectionFormula:
(   ( {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} )   AND   ( {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} )   )
If we were to repeat the same test above but use the Crystal Reports 2003 SP3 runtime (i.e. no Fix Pack), which can be dowloaded from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123592010E/cr2008sp3_redist.zip], we would get the correct report selection formula. A side-effect for this incorrect report selection formula is a runtime exception complaining about an errorkind and a boolean being expected.
Do you know if there is any workaround that I can apply in code, perhaps a different Fix Pack? Is there a Fix Pack expected to be released soon? It is not practical for us to update our reports and use a different style in the record selection formula because we have many such reports, and our customers probably have even more.
Thank you.
-Carlos.

Already a known issue, here's the [KB 1584095 - A boolean NOT is added at the beginning of a record selection formula when the report is loaded by the Crystal Reports .NET SDK |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533383334333033393335%7D.do]

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1 Readme

Hi,
Where can I find a readme of the Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1 with the list of fixed issues?
Specifically does this fix the issue of dates when using .NET datasets and ADO recordsets (ttx files)?
Regards
Craig

Is this not considered a critical breaking change? I think 6+ months is a long time to wait especially given we had to wait for SP2 in the first place for other fixes. Now we find we cant go to SP2.
Is there anyway to get this esculated?
What if SP3 hs another breaking change?
Hopefully your will locate release notes, why is it that SAP dont appear to make these readily available for new serice packs and fix packs? We seem to go through this everytime?

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1

I see that Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1 has been posted as of 10/26/09. Anybody know what's in it? I didn't see a Read Me. Also, when you download and start to install this, it reports itself as a a Fix Pack for Version 1, but the version on things like CRViewer.dll show a version of 12.2.1.412 and a build date of 2009/10/14, which leads me to believe it really is for SP2.

Moved to Legacy Development forum.
We typically release the merge modules at the same time but sometimes they are delayed getting to our download site.
Go to: SAP Crystal Solutions Downloads and click the Crystal Reports... link in the middle of the page and then select the correct versions and you'll find all of the dowloadables.
If they are not there then let me know and I'll follow up with the guys who publish the files.
Thank you
Don

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.

Vivek

SBO 8.8 Crystal Reports 2008 SP01 Fix Pack 3

The 8.8 Administration Manual states that if CR 2008 SP01 is installed then Fix Pack 03 should be installed before installing SBO 8.8.
I cannot find a Fix Pack 03 on the SAP Crystal Reports Portal.
I can see Fix Pack 1.3 for SP01.
Is that the same thing?

Hi Tony,
SAP introduced special version of CR for B1. If your CR 2008 is CR 2008 Basic for B1 then the Fix Pack 3 should be already in the package. You can dowbload it in the CR landing page (S id required). it is not available as seprate package.
Cheers

Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - Ignore Blank cells not working

I have a ticker object that is showing the values from a QaaWs query just fine, but at the end of the list I keep getting the words NULL - NULL - NULL - .... This solution is working in the OEM release of Xcelsius 2008.
The range is set longer than the expected number of rows returned to handle changes in the table its querying.
I have Values selected and the Ignore Blank Cells In Values box is checked, so what am I missing?
Is it time to log an issue within support?
Tom Nather

Hello Tom,
This problem is known and documented. It will be addressed in the next FixPack for Xcelsius 2008.
The problem is caused by binding the QaaWS/WS Output Values field to more rows than are actually returned. The cells that are not filled with actual data are formatted with an "undefined" value, thus they are not ignored by "Ignore End Blanks". This is expressed differently depending on the component.
For now, one workaround is to output the QaaWS/WS values to a range (A1:A10, for instance), then reference the range (=A1) in another (B1:B10, for example). If the selector labels are bound to this 2nd range, they will Ignore End Blanks correctly.

Using Encrypted Web Service connections within Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - FP3

Hi all,
I'm running the latest version of Xcelsius Server 2008 and have setup a simplistic dashboard that uses 4 web service connections to dynamically call queries within a SQL Server 2008 database. The dashboard has been exported to html and I can serve this to the WWW.
I have since created a new https website (using a self signed certificate) and can now serve my Xcelsius dashboard via https. My problem is that I have had to run my old website in parallel (as it serves the said non-encrypted web service) which is linked within the swf source (that is running on the new https enabled website).
Upon trying to alter my existing xlf file so that it references the encrypted web service URL (which works fine via the browser) it prompts me to accept the self signed certificate. Once I click yes, and then add the certificate to the certificate store the whole thing locks up and I am forced to close Xcelsius.
Am I right in thinking that Xcelsius will not accept self signed certificates or encrypted web services at all? For me this is big security concern because if I want to share my dashboard via the WWW I have to accept the fact that I need to run an unsecure web service.
Is this something that is only supported in Xcelsius Enterprise?
TIA

Hello Paul,
Sorry not to have replied to this sooner.
We have had experience of hosting Xcelsius Dashboards using Https: for one of our clients here at Flynet.
We noticed a number of issues , we did have problems relating to the Firewall on our Gateway server for example. We also had issues with the number of active connections processed when the dashboard is running. I think the default for Https: is 2 , so the connections can be queued up. Have you retried with one connection open. The Dashboard we did however did have up to 12 connections, so Xcelsius can handle multiple connections.
When developing the Dashboards using Xcelsius I did have to import using the Web Service URL of the remote server which was Https: However due to issues sometimes with our Gateway Firewall and the way our Local Network had to access the https: URL , what I tended to do was develop using a localhost Web service and then switch the URL to use the https: Web Service once the dashboard was exported to the server it was to be hosted on.
What we did notice for example is that we could have a dashboard running locally quite happily using the https: web services which are actually on [http://www.flynetviewer.com] then we would start getting #2 type flash errors. To solve this we had to restart our Windows Firewall on our gateway server. We could run the dashboard fine if run from our web site.
I am not sure if the issues you have are related to this. I have had problems when I had to import the https: web service URL on my local machine , I am prompted for the Username password for the Https: location , but when trying to import Xcelsius has a problem and exits. Due to these problems I tended to use a local Web service when developing. I know this isn't always practical.
I was running on Vista 64 bit , but I also have XP and Server 2003 running on Virtual machines.
I will be happy to share information my experiences with you.
Best Regards,
Ian Learmonth
Flynet
Updated to add: I have just successfully imported an https: Web service. Mapped it to the dashboard , run it and invoked sucessfully. This was on Windows XP professional SP2.
I did the same thing on Windows Vista 64 bit and had an issue. So not sure what operating system you are using or whether it's a Certificate thing. I can try and find out a bit more on our Certificate if you need to find out what the issue is.
The Vista issue seems to have been resolved by running Xcelsius as Administrator.
When successfully importing I was prompted for the Username and Password for the URL but not the Certificate.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 - fix pack and service pack installation

I'm currently running Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 - 12.2.0.290. I think this is SP2. I saw both SP3 and FP 3.1 available to download, but am not sure if I need both. Do I need to install SP3, then install the FP 3.1? The website doesn't appear to provide clear instructions on this.

Yes you need to upgrade to SP 3 and then you can Upgrade to FP 3.1.
The SP usually are major releas of the product when the FP are minor fix of the SP.
Ciao,
Massimo
