Xcelsius + BW integration

I have Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 (SP1 and SP2) installed on my laptop running on Win XP.
I can connect my Xcelsius into my SAP BW 7 and able to create the Dashboard from the SAP BW Query.
Now, I have two options to publish my Dashboard (this is my understanding):
1) Publish in BOE XI 3.1, so user can logon into BOE InfoView and execute the Dashboard
2) Publish in my SAP BW.
Querstion:
A) If I publish into BOE XI 3.1, how are we going to transport this Dashboard into Production?
B) If we publish into SAP BW, how are we going to transport this Dashboard into Production? Where and how the use can access this Dashboard?
Please advice, thanks.

Hi, Lynn
Concerning publishing to SAP BW, you will publish your dashboards inside the SAP role which can be assigned to the user. In this case, the user will see dashboards inside SAP Menu. When user clicks on a dashboard inside SAP menu, SAP BW will open browser window where Web AS will show the dashboard.
In addition, you can use these dashboards inside SAP Portal by using BEx iViews or URL iViews. For BEx iView, you will need to indicate dashboard parameter which is technical name of dashboard, for URL iViews you will need to indicate full url address which calls BEx with dashboard (this path you can find by pulishing dashboard to the role and editing role by using pfcg transaction)

  • Authentication issue with Xcelsius/Portal integration

    I am facing an issue with the way we have integrated our Xcelsius dashboard with our corporate portal. I know this probably is more of a SDK question than Administration, but I figured I will ask it here anyway since Tim and some others are diverse enough in their knowledge base. This might be LONG post but please advise if anyone has any good pointers.
    We have an Xcelsius dashboard that needs to be served up via our corporate intranet (based on MS Sharepoint 2007). Now we are NOT using the MS Sharepoint Portal Integration Kit, but just doing a basic integration of the SWF call within a web part on Sharepoint. All this means is that within a portlet (web-part) on Sharepoint, I am making a HTTP call to the openDocument URL to invoke the SWF file. So the SWF is actually served up from our Tomcat App Server, and displayed onto this frame within the portal. That is the basic idea.
    To achieve this, what I did was write some custom code using the Java SDK to modify the openDocument a little bit. By doing so, I was able to insert some behind-the-scenes-login code wherein no matter who the portal user (Win AD-based) is, he is logged in to BOE as a generic "dashboard-user" and the dashboard is served up. This worked fine for the first dashboard where all we had was SWF and some WebI linking using openDocument (no full-InfoView access).
    But in this second dashboard now, what we also have is a hyperlink for users to get to InfoView to do Ad-hoc reporting. What this does is open a child browser window from within the portal (dashboard) --- and it remembers the BOE session for the generic user id "dashboard-user" and logs the end-user in to InfoView using that. But what I actually want is that the end-users, on this new window, should only be prompted at the traditional InfoView logon screen where they can manually enter their Windows AD password and get in. Thus, I would like to keep the dashboard SWF page session separate from the InfoView ad-hoc session, which I cannot seem to do because of the browser relationship and session maintenance.
    I am trying to find a way where I can simulate a single sign-on for dashboard viewers on the portal, but at the same time let them jump off to InfoView as themselves.
    Any thoughts on how I can do this?
    Notes:
    We DO NOT have Single Sign-On enabled for InfoView
    We are using Windows AD authentication (manual, no SSO)
    We are on Tomcat

    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    1) If the InfoView app on Tomcat (desktoplaunch) is configured with Vintela, openDocument calls from the portal with automatically work using behind the scenes SSO, correct?
    in XIR2 everything that falls under infoview should SSO when infoview is setup for SSO (not the case in XI 3.x)
    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    2) What is the best practice when it comes to the service accounts needed? I have implemented Windows AD manual auth already so I have a service account that use for that. Should I be using the same on and making vintela/SSO-specific changes to it...or should I have a separate vintela service account and deal with two different ones..each for a diff purpose?
    There is no best practice per se but the less service account the lower your chances to duplicate an SPN, functionally everything seems to work just as well with multiple as it does with 1 (of course with 1 there is less management work) If you click the SSO link in my forum sticky post I have a section explaining this with some suggested methods of deploying a service account(s)
    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    3) Other than some minor browser configurations that might be required, is there anything else that I should communicate to the team about what might be required to be "pushed" to users' PCs?
    Using the default config nothing should be required on the client machine (unless SSO has been disabled in the browser or you intend to use a url that contains a period ..... (i.e. FQDN or IP) with hostname URL (the default) it should just work.
    To note if you have XP SP2 or older there is a microsoft spnego bug you may need to apply a fix if you aren't patched to SP3 (about 5% of our customers run into this).

  • Xcelsius Portal Integration kit for Sharepoint not showing in the gallary

    Hi Experts,
    I am testing the Xcelsius in my organization. After creating a dashboard , I am trying to integrate it in my Sharepoint portal.
    For that I installed SP webpart container in the server. During installation it was not showing any wizard to me for selecting the options. After installation , i am trying to configure it in the webpart galary but ! couln't find the Xcelsius Webpart container in that list.
    What to do to show it ? Could anyone guide me ?
    Regards,
    Jyothi

    i'm not sure how it works with Sharepoint... however, i can tell you how we use the portal integration kit within WebSphere Portal.
    first, the PIK itself is only used for BO integration, not Xcelsius integration (unless you are doing SSO in which case the BO login module is required).
    the Xcelsius integration comes from creating the web parts on the client. For example, for WebSphere there is a tool that is loaded onto the client machine called "XcelsiusPortletCreationUtility". the purpose of this utility is to take a swf file and wrap it in a war file that can be deployed to the portal. i would assume that  Sharepoint works in a similar way with a client utility.
    also, within the Xcelsius file you must create a portal data connection, even if it's not actually used.
    please look through your Xcelsius documentation or try to find the specific document that explains Sharepoint integration.

    Can anybody outline the differences/provide a document which would help me understand the differences between the working of Performance Manager and XCelsius?

  • Implement simulation function by BO reports.

    Hi,experts.
    We want to display BO reports over SAP Enterprise Portal,
    and implement simulation function by BO reports.
    Simulation Function I mean is that
    graph and table are displayed on the same screen,
    and synchronizes graph and data of table when data of table is changed by manual operation.
    For this,what components or products do we need ?
    Can we implement simulation function by Web Intelligence or Cryatal Report as well as Xcelsius ?
    And is it possible this only BO integration Kit for SAP ?
    thanks,
    Shingo

    Hi,Ingo
    Thank you for your help.
    We think about the following scenario.
    ①create BI Query with ERP data.
    ②Based on this Query, create BO report and Xcelsius for analyze and simulation.
    ③Refer and Simulation them through SAP Enterprise Portal.
    To achieve this scenario, we will prerare these products and components.
    Business Objects
         ・BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2
         ・InfoView / Web Intelligence
         ・Crystal Reports XI R2
         ・Query as Web Service

    If simulation function can achive by Crestal Report or Web Intelligence,
    we don't need Xcelsius.

  • XCelsius Engage Server 2008 integration with Crystal Reports Server 2008

    Hi there....
    I am kinda new to XCelsius and am confused with the integration points XCelsius Engage Server offers for 'Crystal Server 2008' users.
    The trial install package for XCelsius Engage Server (SP1) has a binary installation for XCelsius and then for Adobe LifeCycle DataServices. The installation document in the distribution does not talk about what the 'engage server' part is? and how it can get integrated to an existing CS 2008 installation ?
    any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated. Also is there a document/white paper explaining how this whole family of CS and XCelsius products fits together ?

    user12111287,
    To answer your question.....No, I do not. But we have run Crystal Reports using P6 data.
    As far as I know Crystal Reports only needs a database of some kind in order to do its thing. Are you attempting to set up a "real time" data link (ODBC) to Crystal via SDK?
    If not, you could just build your own P6 exports or develop your own reports that would provide the data for feeding Crystal Reports. Maybe set up an automated Job Service task to run a batch of reports on a daily basis.
    Hope this helps.

  • Integrating Crystal reports with xcelsius

    We are trying to generate few reports using Crystal reports application. There are 7 different requirements in total and we want to show a summary of all the requirements in a single report. Since the qualifications for each of the requirement are different, we are unable to proceed with reports.
    Trying to give the summary for all requirements using Crystal Xcelsius dashboard charts and tables, and embed this into a report to provide hyper links to individual subreports, but found few issues while integrating these two applications:
    1. If the swf file is bound to crystal reports data, after exporting the rpt file into pdf, the swf charts are not getting displayed.
    2. If a range of data for a chart in xcelsius is selected, the same range of data need to be passed from crystal reports for the chart to be generated. If data is more, sum rows are truncated.
    How do we solve the issues? Is there an alternative way of achieving the results?
    Can someone please share your thoughts on this?
    Thanks

  • Error after Integrating of Xcelsius SWF into Enterprise Portal

I have Refresh Button in the Dashboard.  If I refresh the dashboard , it shows cannot access External Data. Failed to get the document information(LO26315).
    How can I resolve? Help me in this regard.
    I am using BOE 3.1 and LO 3.1.
    Thanks & Regards,

    With a Live Office connection, you would typically use the URL iView and the opendocument URL to integrate the dashboard into the Enterprise Portal. There are existing posts on this forum about opendocument and Xcelsius dashboards.
    Obviously you need to make sure the dashboard refreshes fine outside of the portal, for instance from Infoview.
    Then, you need to look at the cross domain constraints : have both Infoview and Enterprise Portal in the same domain or use crossdomain.xml. They are lots of posts on this forum about that too.

  • Integration with ECC 6 and Xcelsius

    Hi,
    I would like to know if its possible to integrate Xcelsius directly with an ECC report.
    For example, take the ALV data and 'send' it to Xcelsius in order to have an Xcelsius report.
    I know that Xcelsius has (now), built in integration with BW queries, but wonder if that is proprietary with BW, or can the concept of integrating a report from BW work in ECC?
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    in case you would like to build an Xcelsius dashboard on top of ERP data you can use Crystal REports to connect to the ERP system  (see here: /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4) and then you can use Live Office to connect Xcelsius to a Crystal REports objects. see here:

    In regards to an ALV - there will be an integration with Crystal Reports but not for Xcelsius and keep in mind that an ALV is a push model and is only available when the transaction is been executed.

  • Integrating Xcelsius into a website

    Hello!
    I am planing to have a website built which requires many types of charts to illustrate results. Does someone know if I can have the functionality of Xcelsius dashboards generating these interactive charts? Is there a special version of Xcelsius to do this? If so, cost?
    Thanks for any info.

    Thank you for your reply Stewart.
    I think i did a bad job explaining what I need.
    Imagine a website where you enter the name of a city, and the internal code of the website looks for all the economic information about said city, automatically generating Xcelsius interactive dashboards. In other word, what i am looking for is to have Xcelsius integrated into the website so it will generate dashboards automatically. is this possible?
