Xcelsius - BW Query (Direct Connectivity)

Hi all,
I am familiar with the method for creating Webbi reports on top of BOBJ universes as here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417500%29ID0707308550DB00320933360746406939End?blog=/pub/wlg/9052
I know that with the latest EP it is now possible to create Xcelsius dashboards in a more direct way. Can someone please point in the direction of a blog that explains this?

Is direct connection from SAP BI 7.0 to XCelsius already available?

Hello,
Is direct connection from SAP BI 7.0 to XCelsius already available?
Thanks

In Xcelsius SP2, visualizations can be connected to an SAP system and use live data returned by an SAP query.
Refer Xcelsius SP2 what's new guide:

WebI direct connectivity to BEx query (or) via OLAP Universe in BOBJ 4.0

Hi Experts,
In SAP BOBJ 4.0,
could you contrast the differnces between creating Interactive Analysis (WebI) reports on BEx direct connectivity
vs
Interactive Analysis reports on OLAP based UNX universe.
Thanks,
AK

Hi Anil,
did you get required information? We now must approve the same issue and would appreciate any input.

Xcelsius - Bex Query

Hi all,
How can create Dashboards by using SAP Bex Query (without using universe )
How can get SAP Netweaver BI Connection type in Xcelsius

Hi,
You need to update to the lastest patch levels/ENHP1 and the latest version of Xcelsius. Check the threads below:
SAP NetWeaver BI Connections - Xcelsius 2008 - XI 3.1 Enterprise
SAP BW direct connection on Xcelsius SP 2
If thats not an option you could try the approach described in the following document:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/50805d42-903c-2c10-b889-e9f56a0a2b89&overridelayout=true

Bridge tables only direct connected to fact table?

I have a dimension BOOKS, and I have to model N:N between BOOKS and their authors. I used a bridge table (checked as it in BI Admin) so my join schema is:
FACT TABLE - BOOKS - BRIDGE_BOOK_AUTHOR - AUTHORS
I created a BOOK dimension with 2 levels, author and book, but when I go to Answers and try the query:
SQL Issued: SELECT AUTHORS.AUTHOR saw_0, FACT_TABLE.MEASURE saw_1 FROM SubjectAREA ORDER BY saw_0
I get the error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: ARCMUL_AUTORE.AUTORE. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
In his blog: http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/obiee_bridge_table gerardnico says "I was obligated to made only one logical table of the tables Dimension table 1 and Bridge table by using eht join property of the Logical Table Source because a bridge table in OBIEE must be directly connected to the fact table."
Is it right?
I also tried his trick but it doesn't work...

For me, it's true ;-)
An easiest other way to model a many-to-many is to use the join property of the logical table :

Xcelsius with SAP netweaver connection extremely slow when executing

Hi everybody,
I am building a quite complex Xcelsius dashboard with multiple connections and many components with individual mappings.
My initial load time is now around 5 minutes (the netweaver portal loading icon) and the initialization is around 1 minute (the Xcelsius initialization icon). When I check the BI statistics using &profiling=x in the end of the URL I can see that the process "initialize item XC_DASHBOARD_ITEM_1" is causing 95% of the load time.
I read in the how to guide "how to.. build fast and efficient dash boards using the new netweaver BW integration in SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius" that the swf should be cached on the SAP system when using SAP netweaver BI 7.0, EHP1, SP6 patch 40. I can see in our system that we are on 7.01 with SP6. However, I cannot see the patch level. The cache in the query monitor is turned on, but it seems like only queries are cached in here.
Does anyone know where I can check if the swf file is being cached on the SAP system? And do you know how to minimize the time spent on the process "initialize item XC_DASHBOARD_ITEM_1" on the JAVA and ABAP stack?
I know that I could probably remove many of my mappings and components in the dashboard to get better performance, but then I cannot build the dashboard as intended. By the way, most of my connections only retrieve data when the users are navigating, so only very few connections are refreshed before load and this is maximum 20-30 cells altogether.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Morten

Hi Morten,
YOu can observe the SWF caching in the HTTP trace ..along with the time stamp.
For patch you can check via the SDT as per note 937697.
Thanks,

Direct connection between 2 clients without any configuration!

I wan to make a system act like hamachi or logmein (websever & clients).
I have a webserver on the internet and two client from different networks connected to this webserver, now i want to make directly connection between these clients without any configuration on router. I think it is possible because all infomation about clients network could be got from http request which they send to server. But i don't know what exact fields in the header of http request that i need and how to set them to create connection between clients. I need some ideas about this issue.

I know, so if you want to use a remote control tool such as: VNC, remote desktop you must config on router or server. But even if you had a proxy(permit port 80) when you type www.sun.com you will get data from it, this data was sent from Sun to your proxy and in some way the data was return to your browser. So i think if we have enough information(it come from the webserver) we could init a connection between 2 client. An example of this is Hamachi.
At first 2 hamachi clients connect to a server of hamachi, when they have their id, a tunnel between 2 clients was established without any configuration on proxy(certainly that server did not deny port of hamachi). From now 2 clients can exchange data not through the server. The same in logmein, you can remote desktop any where with zero configuration, but the speed is guarantee because they contact to server for query information, but the data was transmited directly. Sorry if i make mistake.It doesn't work the way you think.
There is a proxy or you have to have one side listening with a ServerSocket and have ports opened as needed. You can't create a Socket connection on server A between clients B and C and then pass it off to clients B and C and magically they just talk to each other.
It does not work that way. It is impossible to do it that way.

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,
Amit

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

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

TS1398 I have an iPad mini, because of my work network firewalls I am not able to use the airprint function to print. I was told you can direct connect to a printer. I am not sure how as I have not seen any cables for a lightning connection to a printer c

I have an iPad mini, I am connected to my work wireless connection. My printer also is on the same wireless network, however I am not able to print to my airprint enabled printer through this wireless connection. Is there a way to direct connect to the printer via a cable ?
I am missing something here on the connection. I am thinking possibly a firewall here at work will not allow me to use the airprint function. Help ?

There is no support for wired printing.
It is probably a firewall issue, possibly where all inbound communications are blocked. Since you're at work, I'd call your work IT department and find out from them what you can/can't do.

What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

hi Maximilian Schojohann..
First i would like to Thank you for showing interest in solving my issue...After some research i found that desabling the " IP CEF" will solve the issue...when i desable i was able to communicate success fully with the router lan..But when i desable " IP CEF " Router cpu processer goes to 99% and hangs...
In the output of " sh process cpu" it shows 65% of utilization from "IP INPUT"
so plz give me an alternate solution ....thanks in advance....

I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive. Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection?

I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive. Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection? Do I have to make a playlist for each cd and then transfer it to my iPhone?

When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
    With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
    If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
    Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

How can i delay the present of direct connected route?

Hi, I got 2 3550SMI switch interconnecting by Etherchannel. Each 3550 has an uplink to its upstream router (R1-SW1=SW2-R2). R1 and R2 connects to the remote site routers (say R3 and R4).
With EIGRP redistribute connected, R1 update the direct connected network via WAN link A to R3 where R2 does the same thing updating R4 via WAN link B.
The failover is fine after SW2 powered off. However, problem occured when I powered up SW2. During the bootup of SW2, there was carrier signal which brought up the ethernet port of R2 and the direct connected route presented in R2 then updating R4. Some of the traffic had started to come over from R4 via WAN link B to R2 while SW2 is still booting. (or Etherchannel was not yet ready). As a result, workstation connecting to SW1 cannot be reached for those traffic came from R4->R3->SW2.
I have tried to use "carrier-delay 60"on the ethernet port of R2. It seems solve the problem since the direct connected route delay 60sec. Within that 60 sec, no update via EIGRP from R2 to R4 so that all traffic still went through R3->R1. After that 60 sec, SW2 had already bootup and the etherchannel was also ready.
However, i can only do it with C3725 router. I've tried 1750, 25xx, 26xx and 3640-12.3T but the behavior was not expected (route still present immediately after carrier signal detected).
My questions are:
Is that command valid on Eth or FE interface?
Is there any different using that command with diff. router series, eg. ISR (18xx,28xx,38xx)?
Is there any condition that I could make it work? (at least 3725 worked)
Is there any other way to delay the present of that direct connected route?
Thanks.

Hello,
instead of the 'carrier-delay' command, you could try to change the EIGRP hello and hold-time intervals (which default to 5 and 15 seconds respectively on broadcast media such as Ethernet), in order to delay EIGRP convergence. So, on your Ethernet interfaces when you use the interface commands:
ip hello-time eigrp x 60
ip hold-time eigrp x 180
the redistributed routes will show up only after 60 seconds, which effectively does the same as the 'carrier-delay'...
Can you try that and see if that works for you ?

GP

Direct Connection ABAP Proxy and Java Proxy possible ????

Hi Folks ,
As i read as direct connection possible between 2 SAP systems only ..
and also i read as WS Direct Connection u2013 (Java) ..
What it means ?? is it ABAP Proxy to Java Proxy using Direct connection ?? Like Java Client Proxy and ABAP Server proxy
I am not clear on this.. Could you please explain or help me on this . ??
Siva..

Hi ,
+You can do both for java proxies as well Abap proxies.+
As per the following points
1. Point-to-point connection is a new capability available with SAP NW PI 7.1. It allows applications or systems to send messages using WS-RM without going through a middleware, e.g. PI, but still using a centralized tool to design and
configure the interfaces and connection properties.
2. SAP XI 3.0/PI 7.00 or higher releases can be licensed based on the total volume of messages in
gigabytes (GB) that is processed per month. The size of the payload is determined in the integration
server. The information is then aggregated according to sender and receiver system.
Question :
1. If Message exchange between 2 SAP applications using direct connection .. Then dont we need to consider about licencing cost for volume of messages per month ?
2. So if i use ABAP Client Proxy to Java Server proxy scenario.. can i use direct connection ? Eg., SAP ECC to java application ?
In both the cases PI Runtime is not required .. Am i right ?
Please clarify..
Siva..
