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.

Home Server end of life

According to the Microsoft Support Lifecycle page for Windows Home Server, the extended support end date is "Not Applicable". What does that mean?

It means there is no extended support phase. Might ask them more over here.

Strange errors using Flynet with Xcelsius Engage Server

Each time I try to create a WebService I get an entire screen full of errors. Here are a few of the error numbers:
CS1513
CS1001
CS1519
CS1518
CS0116
CS1001
This is maddening! We are following everything per instructions (which are poor, by the way). We can't even get basic XML or WS data into Xcelsius on a single XPpro desktop (w/ IIS, .NET 2.0 etc. installed).
Anyone have a clue what is going on? Are there any good sources for Flynet/Xcelsius documentation other than the PDFs that come with the software?
Thanks in advance...

Mario,
Sorry to hear you are having problems.
Please address your issues to us at Flynet and we will assist you. I believe you have our e.mail address.

Need Acrobat Distiller but it is end of life, need a replacement product to run on windows 2012

Need Acrobat Distiller but it is end of life, need a replacement product to run on windows 2012. I have one software application 'Transform' that only needs to convert files to pdf and email to users.
Which Adobe product runs on windows 2012 that will replace Distiller?

Distiller is one of the programs available in the Acrobat Suite of programs. You must have an older version if it is at end of life. Do you have Distiller or Distiller Server. Distiller Server has been replaced by a LiveCycle Server product.

Xcelsius Engage 2008 Fix Pack 3 (FP3) is available

Hello,
Xcelsius Engage 2008 Service Pack 1 - Fix Pack 3 (FP3) is now available and posted on the SAP BusinessObjects download support site. You can access it here: [https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
It applies to Xcelsius Engage, Engage Server and Enterprise. Not Xcelsius Present.
You must already have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed before installing FP3. FP3 installs over SP1 and/or FP2. No uninstall or new keycode is needed. Please unzip the download before attempting to install.
The FP3 Fixed Issues document is also available at the above link or in the zip file. While the FP3 Release Notes and Known Issues document is available at [http://help.sap.com/content/bobj/bobj/index.htm]
After the upgrade in Help > About your Xcelsius version number should be 5.1.3.0. (Build 12,1,3,495.)
Fix Packs are cumulative meaning that all the fixes since SP1 are included in FP3. So FP1 and FP2 do not have to be installed first.
Andy

I upgraded from 4.5 to Engage mid March so I guess I need this patch. The problem is that when I try to download it, I get two windows. The first one says:
"Windows cannot complete the extraction. The destination file could not be created"
The second window says:
"The upgrade can not be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade".
I don't understand the first message and the second does not apply. Can someone decipher these messages? Thanks!

Xcelsius Engage 2008 installation error - office xp required

I'm install a new machine, moving my applications from Vista to 7.
On the new system i've already installed Office 2010..
I am trying to install Xcelsius Engage 2008 and recieve the following error msg's:
1. Office XP application: Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint must be pre-installed. Higher versions work fine. (Clicked "OK")
2. Installation ended prematurely because of an error. (Clicked "OK")
In older discussions Office 2010 is not mentioned and i don't want to install an older version like Xp or 2003 on this clean system. Could anybody help me? Thanks
ps: obviously i've tried to launch setup of SP1 and SP3 without success.

i've modify the register like you write but without success, same error occurs..
i've tried either c:\program files than c:\program files (x86) because i'm running Windows 7 x64
ps: i solved with a compromise, installing office 2003 (only powerpoint) , installing Xcelsius with SPs and then removing office 2003.. it seems to run

6.2 64bit windows end of life

What is the end of life (mainstream maintenance) for 6.2 64bit windows?

Hi Jeff,
If you check the more information tab in the PAM matrix for WebAS 6.20, you will find the following information.
+Installing the Java Add-In for SAP Web AS 6.40 in SAP Web AS 6.20
Releases 6.30 and 6.40 introduced a lot of radical changes to the Java part of the SAP Web Application Server. For example, the clustering architecture was completely overhauled and remodeled using the concepts that had proved successful on the ABAP side. With SAP Web AS Java 6.30, the supported J2EE standards switched to the popular version J2EE 1.3; at the same time, the former Java development environment was replaced by the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, which is integrated with the open-source platform Eclipse.
SAP Web AS Java 6.20 will not be maintained beyond 2006
Another important consideration was Suns decision to only maintain the Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.3 until the end of 2006. SAP Web AS Java 6.20 is invariably tied to this JDK, and therefore SAP will not be able to maintain SAP Web AS Java 6.20 beyond this point. Since the support for SAP Web AS 6.20 must - and will - continue until 2009 according to SAPs general maintenance strategy, we needed to find a replacement for the Java part of this version of SAP Web AS.
We recommend using SAP Web AS Java 6.40 with SAP Web AS ABAP 6.20
For of all these reasons, we want to enable customers to upgrade from SAP Web AS Java 6.20 to SAP Web AS Java 6.40 as soon as possible. Therefore, we have decided to support combined installations of SAP Web AS ABAP 6.20 and SAP Web AS Java 6.40 as of January 2006. Consequently, we provide a new set of installation CDs/DVDs for customers who want to insert the J2EE Add-In into existing ABAP-only installations SAP Web AS 6.20: These CDs/DVDs are now based on SAP Web AS Java 6.40. You can download them from the Software Distribution Center at:
􀂃 http://service.sap.com/swdc 􀃆 Download 􀃆 Installations and Upgrades 􀃆 Entry by Application Group 􀃆 SAP NetWeaver 􀃆 SAP NetWeaver Components ( < SAP NW 04 ) 􀃆 SAP WEB AS
The installation requires that you have done the following:
􀂃 Installed the downward-compatible kernel for SAP Web AS 6.40 as described in SAP Note 664679,
􀂃 Installed all hot packages up to number 41, and
􀂃 Upgraded your database to a recent version (the minimum version is 7.5.0.18 for MaxDB, 9.2.0.3 for Oracle, and V8 Fixpak 7b for DB6).
The procedure for installing the J2EE Add-in is described in the "Installation Guide - SAP Web AS Java 6.40 SR1. You will find the version for your database and operating system at:
􀂃 http://service.sap.com/instguidesnw04 􀃆 Installation 􀃆 SAP Web AS SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 and Related Documentation
For official information about this change, as well as the latest instructions on how to proceed with the installation, you can also refer to SAP Note 914486.+

VFM (Virtual File Manager): End of life and replacement products

In our organization, we are heavy users of VFM (Virtual File Manager) for DFS management and file replication. Unfortunately VFM is going end of life in Nov 2012 and we have not been able to find suitable product(s) to replace its functionality.We have looked at many alternate products, including Autovirt and ScriptLogic SecureCopy for DFS management and file migration/replication and have not found a suitable replacement so-far. The products we have seen so-far do not scale well for larger environments and do not provide the ability to import or batch create tasks. For the DFS management functionality, it looks like Netapp may be able to create a custom tool for us, but we have not found anything suitable from the replication/migration side of things. Either way, off the shelf products would be preferable to a custom made tool if available.Here is a breakdown of the VFM features that we use and their importance to our teams:Feature UsedFeature TypeFeature DescriptionImportanceAvailability PoliciesAdmin View, Namespace PoliciesDFS Link replicationHigh, used to replicate DFS namespace between serversBackup PoliciesAdmin View, Namespace PoliciesBackup DFS namespaceHigh, used for contingencyClient Recovery PoliciesAdmin View, Business Continuity PolicyAlllows failover of DFS links from PROD to DRHigh, used for BCP / DRCreation PoliciesAdmin View, Namespace PoliciesFiler recovery policies Admin View, Business Continuity PolicyDFS link managementVery, currently used for contingencyMigration PoliciesAdmin View, Data Movement PolicyData copy/ migrationHigh, many migrationsReplication PoliciesAdmin View, Data Movement PolicyServer recovery policiesAdmin View, Business Continuity PolicyDFS link managementVery, currently used for contingencyVFM GUILogical View, add linksDFS link addition / update / deleteVery, used to manage all links
We are looking for suggestions for replacement products for the functionality of VFM. Has anyone identified a successor for VFM that would still work within larger environments? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can get the same functionality that was provided by this product if you take a slightly different approach by using symlinks or CIFS widelinks. I've been using a script I wrote which effectively replaced what we were doing in Netapp VFM. I create symlinks in the main share that I consider to be the primary tier of storage. The symlinks are to the folders residing on secondary SATA tiers of storage. This script parses through the secondary tier, then adds said symlink into the main tier. To enable this you basically change the options in your share to allow external shares to be traversed (though, it's on the same storage system itself). Create a hidden clone share for the primary tier and change the option on that share to not follow external links/only allow internal. That share will then show the secondary tier folders as 0 byte files that are the shortcuts, you can literally manage those by deleting those files, or using the remove-nafile command in the PowerShell toolkit. This is 7-mode still, but you could do this approach all the same w/ cifs widelinks. This script itself only parses and creates the symlinks that point to secondary tiers of storage, it isn't doing any data migration. You could very easily integrate it into a data migration workflow where you scanned your main tier for folders that have files that haven't been modified in say a year, then auto move those to the SATA tier, then run this script. You could go one step further and auto move them back to primary if you detect your SATA share were in use again, just delete the symlink shortcut and migrate back to primary by doing a standard copy from the one share to other. In addition, this in my opinion is better than using a DFS shortcut for reach folder on each tier of storage whereever it was (like NetApp/Brocade VFM did). Essentially the client was handling linking the shortcuts. This moves the responsibility to the server building and presenting the share and the client knows no different. On a Mac system, this makes a HUGE difference as it is only seeing one DFS pointer in this approach.

End of life status for JDK 1.1.8

I am currently using JDK 1.1.8-003, but I notice from the Sun website that they have begun the end of life process for this product and they will not be supporting it beyond October 09 2002.
I should be grateful for advice on which newer version of Sun Java I should download for future use.
Also, if I store the old and new versions in seperate folders am I likely to get a conflict between the two? Would my existing programs compile and run on the new version?
Thanks in anticipation Stankingston..

Same thing will happen to me, still using JDK 1.1.8.
Sure we have to look for new versions. I am sure that not all
existing programs will run under new versions. Same thing
happened when JDK 1.0 ran out. So several methods now
are deprecated. This is moving on...........
Look for the most suitable kits. It's your decision depending
of what you want to do in the future developing java programs.
