Xcelsius and gmaps

Hello all,
I want to highlight a postal code or area (enclosed area ), in a the gmaps in Xcelsius.I was wondering since I dont have a .shp file to upload , should I use the spreadsheet option with the latitudes and longitudes, and if yes where can I generate the Latitude and Longitude information for a postal code (preferable in NL).
I used gmaps in xcelsius to highloght provinces in NL as I had the .shp file.
Also would be great if I can get the list of co ordinates from SHP file (maybe a convertor).
Thanks a lot!
Tina

Working with Runali. The SWF file stored in a folder on the XI server and opened in a browser (where the address is the file share) works. The same SWF file exported to InfoView on same server doesn't work. We found the URL formed to connect to Google is different depending on whether the SWF is invoked by filed path versus HTTP.
Truncated URL for successful call where SWF is invoked from file share:
http://maps.googleapis.com/mapsapi/publicapi?file=flashapi&url=file%3A%2F%2F*&key=
Truncated URL for successful call where SWF is invoked from InfoView:
http://maps.googleapis.com/mapsapi/publicapi?file=flashapi&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwebitest%3A8080%2FXcelsius%2Fopendoc%2FdocumentDownload%3FiDocID%3D4424%26sKind%3DFlash%26CELastModified%3D1292432327984&key=
The component is forming the URL based on how the SWF is invoked.

Xcelsius and relative cell in Excel from another document

Hi, gurus.
I have one question about Xcelsius opportunities. Can I use relative cells in Excel document, which as links to cell in another excel document. For example I have two Excel document. At first I use relative cell like this "='\job\[test_1.xlsx]List1'!$C$6", after them I imported file with this link to Xcelsius and I can see value from another document, when I work with Xcelsius only. When I view my result or exported in swf - I see that this value become 0, like empty cell.
Can I use relative cells in Xcelsius or it is them limitation?
Thanks in advance, Ruslan.
Edited by: Ruslan Latypov on Aug 10, 2011 11:15 AM

Thank you. I think so too. But I have no confirmation...
And I think this limit like limit for work with Excel Macros, because If we may use macros in another document, with work opportunity with relative cells we can get data with VBA scripts computing.

Problems between Xcelsius and WebDynpro for Java

How should I do to show Xcelsius in WebDynpro for Java?
How should I transport data between Xcelsius and WebDynpro?
How should I control WebDynpro with Xcelsius?For example,firing plugs in Xcelsius like in WebDynpro to change one view to another.
How should I do to execute a Java method in Xcelsius?For example,scheduling a job on clicking a button in Xcelsius.
Besides these,I also want to know the same problems between other BOE contents and WebDynpro for Java.

Hi Pradeep:
Well that purely depends on the business application (project) your client is proposing. Following are very few factors which will drive for creating web-based applications:
VC: it's a UI modeling tool (non-programming) for creating rapid creation of web-based applications.
WD: its a powered by Java and ABAP with which you can create robust business applications.
If your client is very choosy about rapid application development, reporting, rich user interface, to reduce TCO then VC is the choice. Or if the project contains typical integration with SAP and non-SAP systems, complex business logic development, integration with WCM systems...etc then WDJ is the option.
If youve some sort of custom development with facilitating the Development Infrastructure (NWDI) then WDJ is the only option I could say.
We hope with NW CE 7.1.1(referred by Priyanka Singh) tighter integration between these TWO tools may over come the ambiguity of using them.
Tnx,
MS

Xcelsius and SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services

I am totally and utterly p1$$3d off and surely I cannot be the only person to be using a similar setup i.e. Xcelsius along with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services.
I have installed and tried to get working the XRS gateway and get connectivity to Reporting Services so that SSRS reports can be utilized with Xcelsius... BUT NO...
when trying to configure and use the GetReports command from the xrs.asmx web file I get an error, namely:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ROOT>
<Message>Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty response.</Message>
<StackTrace>at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportingService.ListChildren(String Item, Boolean Recursive) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.CatalogManager.CreateXmlNode(XmlDocument Doc, CatalogItem Item, XmlNode ParentNode) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.CatalogManager.SerializeToXML() at Infommersion.XRS.Service.GetReports()</StackTrace>
</ROOT>
Only to be told when I logged a support call, that "SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services is NOT SUPPORTED"
please go back to using 2005!!!
I find this totally and utterly unbelievable, it's not even as if its a new product... and surely i am not the only person using Xcelsius and wanting to utilise 2008Reporting Services Reports...
has anyone come across this error or understand what is not occuring to get this message and how to resolve?
yours eternally grateful if anyone can shed light on the matter

Indeed, got the XRS gateway working but it isn't able to connect to RS2008.
I guess the cause is that for RS2005 the web service connection point is the file ReportService.asmx. In RS 2008 this file is renamed to ReportService2005.asmx and therefor the XRS gateway cannot connect to it.
A fix pack seems to be in the making:

Popularity of BO Xcelsius and Crystal

Dear BI consultants,
I have been away from BI scene for some time. I hope you could be generous and share with me by telling me, from your BI project experience, how frequent do you see customers using Xcelsius or crystal reports and replacing or not using the traditional BEx?
I am trying to know what is the current market demand for these products . I am sure these will be very popular but not sure the current situation. For new projects , is are reports replaced by Crystal or BO Xcelsius and no more are people using BEx?
I am trying to get back to BI but not sure with all these changes, how relevant are these 2 new skillsets to secure a bi job in today's market?
Thanks for reading.
Hoping to hear from you.
Sincerely
Sanjay

Xcelsius and SAP BW Connection.

Hi,
I have one query on the xcelsius and SAP BW connectivity.I have designed one dashboard on the BW connectivity.That is fine.
My question is if i export the dashboard in the Power Point or PDF it is not showing the real time data.in this only showing static excel sheet data.
Is it possible to show real time data in power point based on the BW connection or users can only access .swf file only by portal.
Thanks,

Hi Amit,
This is not possible, see also: Can I export in Power Point or PDF Xcelsious Dashboard if BICS is used?

SSM calling Xcelsius and BO Reports combine datas and Universes into SSM

I would like to connect within SAP SSM reports and Xcelsius passing parameters to dashaboards of Xcelsius (with BO universes or not) and merge information from PAS Cube and data from other universes BO.
Could someone help me
Best Regards
Carlos Mardinotto

Carlos,
There are two different processes you use to get information into Xcelsius and into Universes. For Xcelsius you are using web services, since you are bringing in not only the data but the objective names, etc. to create the dashboards.
For getting PAS data into Universes you create an ODBO connection to Voyager and from Voyager you create a Universe.
In the Configuration Help guide for Strategy Management available from Service Marketplace (Installation & Upgrade Guides), Section 9.6 gives information on providing Strategy Management data for Xcelsius and Section 9.7 has instructions on providing Strategy Management Data for Voyager.

Bob

Installing Xcelsius and BO XI Release 2 SP4

Hi all,
Is it possible to install Xcelsius and BO XI Release 2 SP4 within de the same server?
Actually, I'm trying to install Xcelsius on the server where BO XI Release 2 SP4 is.
Once BO is installed with all services up and running I launch Xcelsius installation. At the end of the process, I can stop all report servers using CCM but I can't start them all again.
Does anyone have an idea about deploying those two applications on the same server?
Thank you all in advance.
Florian

I haven't heard of this issue, but possibly some environment variables or registry paths were changed by the install. Was xcelsius installed in the same businessobjects directory? Sometimes if the versions differ an incorrect path variable that both enterprise and the client (in this case xcelsius) share is set.It may not be as easy as uninstalling to fix. You may want to try opeing a message with our deployment team

Tim

List View in Xcelsius and truncated lines

Hi @ all,
I use a List View in Xcelsius 2008 and sometimes, when the text is longer
than the column width, unfortunately the text is truncated then.
Is it possible to have then automatically two lines if the text is longer than the column width?
That was the reason why I wanted to use the “Input Text Area”. But I cannot use
the Input Text Area if I have more than 1 destination cell.
Can you help me here?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Maggy

Hi,
You try to change or adjust the field lengths as shown below.
In properities of the list view you can see the Push button " Configure Columns" Then change the length of the fields as you like.

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.

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.

Xcelsius and DocumentDownload syntax

Hi!
I´m trying to call a Xcelsius dashboard from another dashboard (parent, child) with SWF loader component. These dashboards are published in Inofview and I try to call the child dashboard with the following syntax:
http://server:port/Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=15488&sKind=Flash?
And it dont work, I have also tried with only: opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=15488&sKind=Flash Neither that works.
I have checked the security settings in Falshplayer and added the url to trusted locations.
The Child falsh just dont run, the statusbar is always at 0 %.
Someone who have any clue what I have missed?
Greatful for help!
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
You need to include a CELogonToken like this
http://<server>:<port>/Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=<docid>&sKind=Flash&CELogonToken=<token>
You should be able to get more info in this blog about how to add a CELogonToken.

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.

Urgent: Xcelsius and BO 6.5 connectivity options

Hi all,
I have a requirement in which the users want a Xcelsius 2008 dashboard, but they want the dashboard to connect to BO 6.5.
Here is the story, so we have a report in DeskI and that report contains all the data for the dashboard.
The users want an excel file of the report to be FTPed to a specific location thru BO6.5 by which a dashboard can be developed. but my manager doesnt want that he wants Xcelsius to fetch data directly from either the Universe or report in BO 6.5...
So now what are my options on this take, how can an Xcelsius dashboard support connections with BO 6.5 ??? Any hints, suggestionssss
Regards

Well let me put my question the other way around,
Does BO 6.5 offer QaaWS or LiveOffice?
Or what other connectivity would anyone reading this suggest for me to bring Data into Xcelsius?
One approach that I'm thinking of is to convert the DESKI report into a Excel Spreadsheet and feed that to Xcelsius, but life is not that easy, my manager wants an automated approach...
Therefore Im querying you ppl.
Regards.

Xcelsius and Qaaws session count issue

Hi
We are using xcelsius 2008 plus Qaaws and Live office.
Whenever we open up the dashboard, it increases our connection count in the CMS Server count and does not releases it for about 30 mins) even after closing dashboard and even Infoview.
Anyone else had this issue and resolved it?
Please advise.
thanks

Welcome to SCN!
This is natural. 1 session per QaaWS connection. This should not be a concern if don't have 'concurrent' licensing for Business Objects.
Thanks,
Subhodeep
