Hi,
You need to create a template add new--> Add template.
Then you can upload a xcelsius file or create it from zero.
You should bind the connections to the excel sheet, where you will bring the dataset.
After creating the template you should create a visualization and link the connections to the datasets.Thats all.
I hope this explanation can help you.

  • Template using google maps

    I've created a template in Xcelsius beta in ondemand using the Google maps addon component, I have successfuly saved this and want to create a visualisation based upon it. When I create this visualsation I can select my data source, whici is the table below:
    SK8 3NG 28
    FY6 8JU 22
    FY4 1EA 13
    OL8 3QE 13
    SK5 7DY 12
    Everything appears to work fine except for when the data is diplayed in the map only one point is mapped which happens to be the fourth on in this list.
    This may be a beta problem or it could be because I'm doing something silly.
    Thanks

    I've answered my own question here:
    I was putting all my data into the addreses field instead of separating addresses, from pin sizes and from labels.

  • Xcelsius OnDemand - Can  it do some flashy things...

    Ok,
    I can currently map one dataset which is nice but I want to do more. Can anyone tell me how or point me in the right direction to read to understand how I can do this.
    1) I want to first map two data sets so I can see data set A in red and dataset B in Yellow
    2) I want to add a drop down box to the template so the user can see data set A or data set B depending upon their selection
    3) I want to be able to add a play button so I can view the data set over time, each record has an associated time and postcode and It covers a period of one year. What I'd like to  do is start at day 1 of the year (1/4/10) play each day as say 0.1 seconds, let each record appear when it was its day and fade over 5 "days" back to invisible)
    4) I want to show the dataset as t-7days or t-14 days depending upon user selection.
    5) ideally put this on an ipad as well (the current ipad app only seems to allow for data exploration via onDemand and not to view dashboards which seems to be odd - am I missing something?)
    All would look pretty cool and I'm sure are quite straightforward if you know how.  This will really help me sell this tool  in my organisation.
    Thanks for any helpful answers,
    Dan

    HI Dan,
    I am not much of an xcelsius expert myself, but I can try to comment on a few of your questions.
    1) You can do this by adding another web service connection to a new dataset and map the data from the new connection into a different set of cells than you use for your original connection. 
    2) This sounds like purely a design question.  I think you just need to make the drop box trigger a change to the various UI widgets to change which set of cells they look at for data - the dataset A cells vs the dataset B cells.
    3 and 4) I am not sure how to do this.  I think you need to do some tricks in the UI to change which records you are looking at rather than looking at all the records of the dataset.
    5) The problem here is that the visualizations are flash based (they are swf files) and the apple products don't support flash.  The ipad app you are refering to is specifically for doing the explorer workflow with bi.ondemand.com datasets and does not deal with visualizations at all.
    Cheers

  • Updating data in Xcelsius 2008 Export from Excel Spreadsheet

    Xcelsius 2008 newbie question....
    I have created a Xcelsius export (.swf) that display my data. However it appears the data is static after exporting.
    I am at a loss as to how you force it to update/refresh using the connections used in the excel.
    Am I missing something? I cannot find a straight answer, do need LiveOffice?
    How do I have an (.swf) export file that refreshes data itself????

    The easiest way to get data to update in your swf is to create a connection in the Data Manager.  After the connection is setup you can add a connection refresh button to allow the swf viewer to trigger that connection.
    To get data to refresh automatically, you can setup the connection to trigger or update on interval.
    For more information you can check out the learning center:

  • Connecting ORACLE 10G, SAP R/3 to Xcelsius dashboard

    Dear All,
    I have a scenario with a customer, where in we have to develop an XCelsius dashboard over Oracle 10g source. Customer is keen on building dashboards directly on top of Oracle 10G (or) SAP R/3.
    Could you please let me know - which approach is good for Performance of Dash boards?
    1)ORACLE 10G>NON SAP Universe>WEBI Report>Live Office> XCelsius
    2)Oracle 10GSAP R/3 (Using of Data Services)>ABAP Function Module>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office> XCelsius.
    3)Oracle 10G>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office-->XCelsius
    Thanks and regards,
    Raghu

    HI Raghu,
    1)ORACLE 10G>NON SAP Universe>WEBI Report>Live Office> XCelsius
    Here we can make use of the background scheduling of webi reports and use latest instance if the volume of data is more in the tables.
    As webi is a very good tool we can consolidate data and optimise the performence of the dashboard..
    Note: Universe designing should be done very carefully.
    2))Oracle 10g/SAP R/3 (Using of Data Services)>ABAP Function Module/Infoset>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office> XCelsius.
    SAP R/3>function module/Infoset>Crystal repotrs 2008->liveoffice>dashboard.
    Here we can make use of the background scheduling of Crystal reports and use latest instance if the volume of data is more in the tables.
    it is good if you implement all the logic in ABAP side and simplify the  work at Crystal report side so that the dashboard performence is good if the refresh option is ONDEMAND.
    Note: ABAP consultant is needed.
    3)Oracle 10G>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office-->XCelsius
    In this case you have to implement all you logic in Crystal reports and schedule the data and use latest instance for better performence of the dashboard.
    Decision has to be made depending on the volume of data logic behind report to display the final data..
    if you are using webi in ur flow you can have better staging and adhoc analysis can be given to the user .
    Case 2 is also good if ur making every thing at ABAP level .
    i dnt suggest 3rd case.
    Hope this helps you ..

  • Anyone aware of SPC Charting capabilities with xCelsius?

    I am very interested in being able to create SPC (Statistical Process Control) charts with xCelsius.  Anyone know of an add-on?  Anyone want to make an Add-on for xCelsius?
    SAP Lighthammer, now SAP XII, does a great job creating SPC charts.  But we want to move towards xCelsius yet SPC Charting is used heavily across all functions of the corporation.

    Hi, Jeff
    Check addon markeplace - https://information.ondemand.com/istore/#shopby=Marketplace/Xcelsius%20Add-Ons%20(All).

  • Refresh of Data in Xcelsius from Web Intelligence Results

    Hello,
    I am new to the forum but not to Business Objects/Xcelsius.  I attended the SAP Sapphire Event last May and spent time in the Business Objects lab.  Two Product Managers demonstrated how I would be able to refresh the data in an Xcelsius dashboard using Live Office by retreiving results from a Webi document without refreshing the Webi query. 
    For example, my Webi document contains 100,000 result rows.  I want to be able to select a dropdown in my dashboard and have Live Office retreive only a subset of the 100,000 rows.  This being done without having the Webi query being refreshed from the database.  The Webi query would be refreshed nightly.
    The Product Managers advised that this functionality would be available in Service Pack 3 or before.  As of now I cannot find out how to make this work.  Any help or information would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hello Charles,
    WebIntelligence Input Controls are a way to enhance and customize user experience with report filters, they are therefore based on report filters and the feature is more focused on user interface & experience rather than exposition outside web intelligence.
    Anyway, AFAIK, report filters are not available from Live Office report parts, you can only filter content with prompts, which requires the document to be refresh from the database, which has a direct impact on performance and scalability for consumers.
    However, if you are with WebIntelligence XI 3.1 SP2 you have the alternative to publish from WebI Rich Client, report elements (any table or chart) as web services (called BI Services).
    This tool is based on Qaaws technology, and share some of its features (main being that is uses the same Xcelsius Data Manager connection), it exposes a large part of WebI interactions to external consumers (esp. Xcelsius) : report filters, drill, prompts.
    Besides this tool provides a set of call input parameters to tune web service consumption for best performance and scalability, enabling to leverage WebI document management features like scehduling, publishing and refresh, so consumers can balance performance with real-time data.
    More information is available from WebIntelligence Rich Client user documentation from section sharing webi content with other web applications.
    I recommend you install the latest fix pack (SP2.5 and above), as some initial fixes were required to ensure full compatibility with Xcelsius.
    Hope that helps,
    David.

  • Open document issue using Xcelsius WIH 00013

    All,
    I have Open Document that behaves correctly when I copy and paste it into address bar of a browser. It also works fine when I try to connect from one Webi report to another (so far so good). But when I use the link in Xcelsius, via a URL component, I get the following message:
    Invalid Session: Please close your browser and logon again. (WIH 00013)
    Previous posts on forumtopics.com suggests that this is a Tomcat time out issue. However, other open document calls from other Xcelsius dashboards with open document work without issue. Has anyone seen this before? I have included the hyperlink text. Please note long prompt text is courtesy of a BEx query in BW .

    The same settings in the infoviewapp web.xml must be applied on the opendocument web.xml. Also you must be on XI 3.1 FP1 or higher. There is currently an Edge issue being investigated.

  • 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.

  • Error to install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista. Error 1935.

    I have a big problem, I need install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista, but when I install the software apper the nex message:
    Error 1935 Error al instalar el ensamblado.
    "Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type ="Win32",version= "8.0.50727.762",pubicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"". Consulte Ayude y soporte tecnico para obtener mas informacion.

    From a brief Google search, I determined this error message is from Vista. It is not being produced by Xcelsius. You will need to do your own search and determine what is causing Vista to report this error. You can also try installing using instructions for Xcelsius installation on Vista posted elsewhere in these forums.

  • Xcelsius Dashboard on SAP R/3 Table using BSP and XML Mapping

    Hi Experts,
    I have developed a simple dashboard on small data set (10 records) that I am fetching from a R/3 Table into BSP and generating XML from there and consuming it in Xcelsius (SAP R/3 + BSP + XML Mapping).
    Now I want to fetch data based on Variables values that should be passed from the dashboard at the runtime and should display the data  accordingly. Any help on how it can be achieved?
    Thanks..!!
    Sharad

    Hi,
    You could try doing this by using XML data connection. You would have to make use of Enable load to get the data from XML and Enable send to send data back to XML from dashboard.
    This would require you to write a script.
    Thanks,

  • Not able to see Data in Xcelsius 2008

    Hi everyone,
    My question is I am not able to see data in Xcelsius spreadsheet although I am able to connect to SAP BW and also able to see and select query but when I select Cross Tab Data in output Values it is not displaying in Xcelsius spreadsheet
    System Info
    Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise Trial Version SP 3.0
    SAP BW 7.1 SP 6 ABAP and JAVA
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Rashid,
    When you are using the BW conenction in Xcelsius you will not see any data in the spreadsheet at design time or at preview time.
    To see the data you need to go SAP > Publish, then SAP > Launch to test the dashboard in the NetWeaver Portal as that is the only place where the data can be viewed.
    Regards
