XCelsius and Crystal Report data connectivity

Hello,
I have an Excelsius SWF-file and a Crystal Report in which I want to show the SWF. The data of the SWF should depend on a cross table in Crystal Report (event type/month. I tried but have several difficulties:
1. there are different counts of event types in the different customer databases so I can not assign a fix data area in XCelsius
2. I have sorted the columns in the cross table in CR according to the number of the month, but the name of the month is showing. When I choose the option "use an existing cross table" the SWF in the design form only shows the numbers and not the names like in the cross table of  CR
3. in the preview no SWF is shown
4. how to bind cross table(s) AND single values to CR
Can anybody help or can suggest an exact documentation of the connection of the both programms with an example?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Ingo,
Yes, I understand what you 're saying:
"for distributing report objects with a larger audience you need a BusinessObjects server environment - either BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise."
What I dont understand is WHY we need to have BusinessObject Enterprise to distribute the crystal report so that my user can access the crystal report?
The reason why I am confused because earlier on, you mentioned we (BW users) can call the URL and access crystal report is saved in the BW Role.
Since my BW users can access crystal report directly from BW, WHY do we still need BusinessObject Enterprise?
Please advise, thank you.

  • Using Crystal Report Data Connection in Xcelcius 2008

    The documentation does not explain how data to populate row, column and details is passed to SWF.
    Can some-one please point how CR Data Connection when created in Xcelcius 2008 is used in Crystal Report Design time ? Is it through Flash variables? Basically more details are needed for "when setup properly" clause. How to map Crystal Reports Fields to Xcelcius Definitions.

    From Doc:
    "With the release of Crystal Reports 2008, it is now possible to embed an Xcelsius-generated SWF file into a Crystal Report and have the SWF consume data from that report. When set up properly, refreshing the data in your Crystal Report will update the embedded SWF.

  • Xcelsius and Crystal Report for SAP BW

    we're going to use Crystal Report 2008 and Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 to integrate with SAP BW 7 (with SAP EHP1 + SP5 applied).
    I understand that Crystal Report 2008 and Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 is "Client" application, which will be installed on each local machine (Developer machine, not end-user machine). I also understand latest xcelsius Enterprise 2008 + SP2, xcelsius can connect directly to BW.
    Question is do I still need to install SAP Integration Kit on these local machine (Developer machine) so that we can access SAP BW data from Crystal Report as well as xcelsius Enterprise 2008?
    Please advise, thanks.

  • Xcelsius - Crystal Report Data Consumer connection Issues

    Sorry for the long post but i hope with the full explaination, i can get a quick answer & solution.
    Using Crystal Reports 2008 and Xcelsius 2008 Engage, SQL 2008 stored procedure.
    I have tested the Crystal Reports Data Consumer connection within the Xcelsius program, using the following steps :
    1. Create a stored procedure that returns the Continent Name and the Count of Projects within each Continent.
    2. Create a Crystal Report using the stored procedure, 2 columns in the Details section, column names in the Page Header section.
    3. Save and export this as an Excel spreadsheet.
    4. Open the Xcelsius program, new file and import spreadsheet. Column A is the Continent Name, Column B is the Count.
    5. Without altering the spreadsheet, I created a graph using the data imbedded. i.Bar Graph, series and row selections. Ii. Pie chart with row data selection. Iii.Column data as series and row selections.
    6. Created a Crystal Report Data Consumer connection using the data imbedded within then spreadsheet. The column A as the u201CRow Headersu201D & column B as the u201CDatau201D. Took quite a while to get the right combination of selected components so that the preview actually showed the data and the corresponding data labels. The Legend still hasnu2019t shown up.
    7. Save and Export as Flash (swf) file.
    8. Close Xcelsius and open Crystal Reports.
    9. Open the same report used to create the spreadsheet and Insert -> Flash, choosing the newly created swf file.
    10. Link the data displayed On the Crystal Report to the Flash file now embedded, using the Flash Expert. Have tried both with the data listed on the Report, and the data listed as the result of the stored procedure.
    11. Previewed and the Data shown on the Graph does match the data listed within the Details section of the Report.
    12. I then altered the stored procedure to add u201C1u201D to all counts, and refreshed the Crystal Report. (I cannot add new data to the underlying database/tables, due to various other folks & projects using that same database.)
    13. The listed data does change to match the changes within the procedure.
    14. The Data labels on the Graph do change to match the changes within the procedure.
    15. The Actual Displayed Data within the Graph Does Not change to match the changes within the procedure.
    I have attempted this with a pie chart, a bar and column charts with the same affect.
    I have searched the web, printed out 4 different examples on how to make this work and still it is hit or miss. I still can not get the legend to show up, either in the preview or the within the Crystal Reports. When I preview the graph before adding the Crystal Report Data Consumer connections, it does work.
    Please someone tell me, What am I missing here ? 
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Defining multiple Crystal Report Data Consumer connections?

    I am creating a Xcelsius object that uses data from Crystal Reports.
    To do that, I define Crystal Report Data Consumer connection. With this I can use Crystal to connect to the data source, create table of data (crosstab) and pass it to the flash object.
    But I can only define one such connection. Why can't I define more that one?
    I would like to pass two different sets of data and use them in different parts of the dashboard. Trying to get all the data into a single crosstab may not be possible.
    Is there another way to do this?
    Thanks.
    Tim

    I have found that I can pass any number of tables of data from CR to XC using flashvars, either XML or CSV.
    XML is easy, but you chew up 17 chars (64 bytes) in XML chars per column marker. And with a 64KB string max, you're left with at most 1K data points, and that's with no data!
    CSV is old school XC 4.5, converting an array in to a row-order string, not nearly as convenient as a Crystal Report Data Consumers, but it works and you have only a 4 byte overhead per column (the comma.)
    Converting cross-tabs to strings, though, can be a bear because cross-tabs are evaluated column-order and you may not know how many columns you are going to have.
    So use the Crystal Reports Data Consumer for the intricate cross-tab and CSV flashvars for the other tables.
    And then hope it all loads in less than 7 seconds.

  • Crystal Report & Liveoffice connection

    Hello,
    I am using Xcelsius (2008,sp3,fix pack 5) and crystal report (2008 sp3) along with liveoffice(sp3). But while a crystal report takes 2-3 seconds to execute but when I  map the same crystal report through liveoffice after uploading the crystal report in infoview it takes around 24 seconds to refresh inside xcelsius. Is there any way where I can improve performance? It will be really a greaty help..

    Hi there,
    If you're connecting to Crystal and refreshing, then you could just use QaaWS (since you're hitting the database anyway). This won't help if you're doing any significant aggregation in Crystal, or can't create a universe on whatever data source your CR is using.
    Option 2 might be to use a Webi report instead of a Crystal report (again, you will need a universe). Then publish your Webi blocks as BI Services.
    This then allows Xcelsius, through the BI Service, to apply a filter to the webi report without refreshing.
    For BI Services you'll need XI3.1 SP2.5 +, but preferably SP4 if you'll have many (more than a hundred) BI Services.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to create a Crystal Report to connect to Oracle

    Hi,
    When I create a Crystal report to connect to SQL Server, I create a stored procedure to get all data I need and connect to it from Crystal Report.(In the stored procedure, I created temp tables, used cusor etc to run data.) But now I need to use a Oracle database. I heard I need to create a package and put this stored procedure in this package. Questions:
    1. if I need to create a package, how can I call the stored procedure from it?
    2. Can I create temp table in this procedure too? I need to create some temp tables to join together to get complex data.
    3. if I want the return data from stored procedure, do I still "select ... from ..." or there is another other ways?
    I am so desperated. Please help. I know this are very silly questions. But please.

    Hi Jenny,
    We are also using Crystal Reports for our Oracle Database, we normally just select the tables we want to use or create our own SQL query.
    However, if you really want to use Oracle stored-procedure (which performs faster than a SQL query because the stored procedure is compiled in advance), you can look at this document:
    http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/scr_oracle_stored_procedures.pdf
    Hope this will answer your questions.

  • Setting Crystal Report data source at runtime

    In advance, I've read all of the posts on here about dynamically changing the data source for your report at runtime and none of it seems to work.
    I developed a report against my development database using an MySQL ODBC connection. At runtime I want to pull the data from the production database. I've tried clearing the DataSourceConnections. I've tried the SetDatabaseLogon as well as Table.LogOnInfo, Table.ApplyLogOnInfo, SetConnection, everything.
    I am using the pull method for getting the data, so CR has entire control over the mechanism used to fetch the data.
    But when I am setting some other data source I am greeted with a logon screen for the database, I i check use itegrated security then it says logon failed and if I uncheck use integrated security checkbox then it shows unable to load report and an exception is thrown
    Anyone have any ideas? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Reports 2011 developer edition.Apart from this my Database is in mysql and I am binding report with the MySQL Procedure.
    Note: Both these database just differ in name, Infact they are same database just I have changed the name, so the procedure and the fields are same.
    Thanks in advance.

    So if ODBC doesn't allow me to change the data source, can't it be done in some other way without mingling with each and every report.
    BDW I am able to change the data-source at designer mode,
    Currently the connection string being used is
    private readonly ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo
                DatabaseName = "DB NAME",
                IntegratedSecurity = true,
                Password = "admin",
                ServerName = "localhost",
                UserID = "root"
    I just want it to read from same copy of database place at some other location so the connection string will be modified as
    private readonly ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo
                DatabaseName = "Same copy of database record may change but structure will be same",
                IntegratedSecurity = true,
                Password = "admin",
                ServerName = "IP address of the machine",
                UserID = "root"

  • Help requested on WEBI and Crystal Reports

    Hi All,
    1. Our Sys Admin has installed Business Objects XI Enterprise Server on the Corporate Development Server. The objective is to develop few WEBI objects and Crystal Reports and deploy on the Development Server for further testing. What developer tools I need on my local system to develop WEBI Objects and Crystal Reports?
    2. For crystal reports is there a need to develop universe, or is it possible to fetch from the database directly if the DB meets all the data needs?
    Thanks in advance
    Sunny

    Hi gudurusk,
    For CR creation the you need Crystal Reports. Thats a Report developing Tool which needs to be installed local on your Desktop PC
    WebI is a Java based Reporting Tool. So you create your Reports in a Web Browser. You LogIn to InfoView and click New -> Web Intelligence Document and start.
    Crystal can do both. It can report of a Universe and can by directly connected to your DB.

    HI All,
    Ii am getting dynamic connection issue with Crystal Report 2008 and Business View Manager, i have Oracle database,
    i have done following steps
    1 Creating Dynamic Connection (including two connection XDC & YDC)
    2. Creating Data Foundation (Common object available in both connection ie. stored procedure)
    3. Creating Business View (with selected number of elements in business element, like firsta name, lastname)
    I have verified database connectivity from Business view manager, both the connection are working fine bringing different number of rows from two different schemas (different schema but same objects in two schemas)
    4. Database connectivity to different database schemas
    5. Connectivity from Crystal Report (done the connectivity from the repository to business view )
    6. Report Connectivity with first schema shows records
    7 Report Connectivity with second schemas shows error
    as follows Failed to retrive data from the database & on clicking of detail i get following error
    Crystal Reports
    Database Connector Error: 'ORA-04043: object HR.EXCEPTION_REPORT_SUB1_PROC [Database Vendor Code: 4043 ]'
    Q first of all i need to know if dynamic connection using business view manager and crystal report technically possible or not, if yes then please let me know the solution, since we did verified with SQL database and ite work with two different database.
    Q if not possible then are there any options to resolve dynamic deployment of crystal report over multiple schemas with crystal report 2008
    Any help or suggestion will be appriciated, hope some one might have got similar issue

  • VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

    Hi,
    1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
    2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
    3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
    I would get an error :
    Failed to connect to server "localhost".
    Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
    and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    Code below:
            string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
            object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
            // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            // Set the location of the RAS server.
            rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
            // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
            rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
    Reason why it would not run?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
             * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
             * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
             * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
             * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
             * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
            DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();
