Xcelsius 2008 SP3 install

Hi Forum,
I am trying to install Xcelsius 2008 SP3...
I uninstalled Xcelsius 2008. Succesfully
I downloaded  Xcelsius 2008 SP3, and when i enter the Product Key i am getting a message saying that the Key is Invalid....
This is the same key that i used to install it the first time....
Can someone tell me what am i doing wrong.... maybe the installation requieres for me to do it via CD instead of a download?
The reason i am saying that is because the product key starts with CDXXX.  Or am i using the wrong key?
Regards,
Manuel Roman

Make sure Xcelsius 2008 is fully uninstalled, reboot and install Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
The Xcelsius SP3 is a Cumulative Service Pack not an incremental. That means, you need to uninstall the existing version of Xcelsius on your machine and then run the executable that you have downloaded.
While installing please keep the Key code ready. The installation will ask you to enter at at the beginning. This is the same key code that you might have received from SAP when you purchased the license.
Make sure you type it in exactly in all caps and with dashes.

    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:

    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

  • 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...

  • 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

  • What do I need to create Flex custom components for Xcelsius 2008 SP3?

    Hello, and thanks for your time. 
    I have recently been roped into creating some custom components in Flex 3 for use in Xcelsius 2008 SP3.  I can create custom components in Flex, but I have no idea how to get them into Xcelsius. 
    I have begun my own research into everything I am going to need, but I am hoping someone out there who has done this can provide a user-friendly itemized list of all the parts that are needed to accomplish this task.  I want to make sure I do not miss anything.
    Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.
    What I have so far:
    Flex Builder 3
    Xcelsius Engage Server 5.3 (2008)
    What I think I need:
    Xcelsius 2008 component SDK
    Cheers!

  • Crash Xcelsius 2008 SP3 on Windows 7

    Hello,
    when I press the buttons open, save, save as, export, download add-on, ... crashes xcelsius
    and then to restart it I have to kill the excel process...
    This problem does not happen if I use CTR + S to save.
    I use Windows 7 Professional 32bit,  Excel 2007 and Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3 5.3.0.0 Build Number 12.3.3.980.
    Fix pack 3.3 and 3.4 do not solve the problem.
    Have you any solution? Thanks

    Supported platforms are : Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit Editions) (Requires Xcelsius 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3 or later)
    But still can jus check with the below pdf if all the platform you have is supported one.

  • Xcelsius 2008 sp3 and Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix3 - Flex 3 Charts

    Hello,
    I'm working inserting some Flex charts into Xcelsius, but I've been having some compatibility problem. Let me explain:
    I have Xcelsius 2008 sp3 and I'm working in Flex builder 3 but when I was creating the xcelsius-objects project. I selected to compile the project the Flex builder 2.0.1 hotfix 3 SDK.
    When I have used this SDK I have not all the capabilities in the column chart that I need, some labels option in ColumnChart doesn't work, but when I selected Flex 3 SDK to compiled the entire ColumnChart object doesn't appear. If I try to insert the project builted in  Flex 3 SDK when I open Xcelsius, I receive a lot of Exceptions, like to Xcelsius didn't found some clases. If I insert the project built on Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 SDK the capabilities that I need don´t work.
    Please Help me because this is driving me crazy.
    Thanks to everyone

    Hi,
    Xcelsius 2008 is built using Flex SDK 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 so that is the version of Flex SDK you have to use because it is not possible to mix and match versions of the Flex SDK in a SWF.
    So to create your add-ons you cannot use any Flex 3 or Flex 4 SDK components, only Flex 2.
    Regards

  • Supported pdf versions and mouse over problem for Xcelsius 2008 SP3

    Hi,
    Have below queries regarding Xcelsuis 2008 SP3.
    (1) Encountered last character truncation problem for the x-axis and y-axis labels when viewed using adobe reader versions higher than 9.0.0. Viewing the pdf doc using adobe reader v9.0.0 has no label truncation problem.  Preview in Xcesius is also ok.
    (a) Y-axis label - eg. No. of students. The last char [s] is truncated when exported to pdf.
    (b) X-axis label u2013 when labels are oriented vertically, they are very close to the x-axis. The last char is truncated.
    Please advise what is the supported pdf versions for Xcelsius 2008?
    Any workaround to overcome the truncation problem?  
    (2) Mouseover in charts. When the series name has < symbol, Xcelsius truncates the remaining text that's after the < symbol.
    Is this a limitation that < symbol cannot be used? Any workarond for this? Any document to reference on the limitations of Xcelsius? e.g. If series name is '>1 and <=2', mouse over desc becomes '>1 and '.
    Thanks and Regards.

    Hi ,,There are a lot of developments in SP3 version. But some loopholes which I caughtu2026
    1. The value button/spinner is no longer supporting a cell having some formula. Also the time it is taking to load data which depends on value button/spinner as a result of change in it, is comparably very high as compared to earlier version.
    2. Still there is no component like pre-load animation. So it is difficult to know weather the tool is running or not when one selects an option in some selector.
    3. One still finds it difficult to work with a large range of data/complex spread sheet in xcelsius as it crashes while exporting.
    4. Export to excel still needs Tomcat Web server,Java help. It is not simplified.
