Xcelsius - LiveOffice: Unable to refresh SWF File - LO 26608

Hello,
i have a problem updating crystal report data using the refresh button in the preview tab of Xcelsius.
Both files (Crystal Report and Xcelsius File) are stored on the BOE Server and i configured two Live Office Connections from Xcelsius to Crystal Reports. It is possible for me to regenerate the data by clicking the corresponding button within the Live Office tab of Xcelsisus, but i got problems doing that in the Xcelsius preview.
I inserted a connection refresh button and linked the two Live Office Connections by using the Data Manager. When i click the refresh button i have to insert user login and pw and the authentification works. But after that, an error occurs and the following message is shown:
BusinessObjects Enterprise report source not found. (LO 26608)
The Live Office Service ist running on the BOE Server, and i am using the following URL session for refreshing the data:
http://<boeserver>:8080/dswsbobje/services
Is this a boe server configuration issue?
I am not sure it this helps but i recognized the following message
Please enable REST support in WEB-INF/conf/axis2.xml and WEB-INF/web.xml
when i am opening this URL
http://<boeserver>:8080/dswsbobje/services/LiveOffice
within a browser.
Would be nice if someone could help.
Thanks,
Johannes

Sorry, the servername is not the problem and the document is also available on the BOE otherwise it would not be possible to get the data in Xcelsius.
The user has also sufficient rights to view the object because it is the same user for connecting from CR to BOE and from Xcelsius to BOE.
Maybe it is because of some misconfigured webservices on the BOE.
SOLVED
It was a user authorisation issue, the wrong user (Non-SAP) was used for connection from Live Office to Crystal Reports.
Thanks Johannes

well i hope thats the case... but its a bit strange that neither the beta versions i tested or this ESD version (its not very clear as to if its pre-release - nothing on the splashscreen/about to indicate its not the full thing) can open 4.5 files... suggests that the beta did not cover backward compatability which is a bit concerning :(hopefully im just missing something simple!from the help file in the '08 version i have here...Xcelsius supports the ability to import a visualization created
with Xcelsius 4.5. This import ability lets Xcelsius 4.5 customers upgrade their
existing visualizations to take advantage of the new features of Xcelsius 2008.
Backup your current XLF, JPEG, and external SWF files before upgrading your
visualization.
Note: Xcelsius 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 files cannot be
imported into Xcelsius 2008. To use these files in Xcelsius 2008 you must first
import them into Xcelsius 4.5, then import the files into Xcelsius 2008.

Hi,
Which version of xcelsius you are using now !
The file which you are trying to open may be created in higher version of xcelsius
So upgrade to latest version and try.
Before opening xcelsius check if EXcel.exe is running from taskmanager -->processes
if that is runnning end the process.

How to refresh .swf file whose source data is only using "EXCEL"

Can Some one help me out with this please.........
I developed a dashboard using excel (embedded in xcelsius 2008) and then exported it to .swf file.
Now when the data changes in .xlf file. I want my swf file to refresh the data.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
   Read the below instructions extracted from KB Article 1424833 and see if it helps
XML files need to be designed in a specific structure in order to work correctly in Xcelsius 2008. Below are some important conventions:-
1) The XML code should start and end with data tag like <data>...</data>.
2) Row and column tags must be used to encapsulate data.
3) Everything is case sensitive.
4) While inserting a range in XML data connection, the range name should be similar to the variable name defined in the XML code.
The xml code should look like this:-
<data>
<variable name="ExampleRange">
<row>
<column> Row1 Column1 value </column>
<column> Row1 Column2 value </column>
<column> Row1 Column3 value </column>
</row>
</variable>
</data>
In Xcelsius, we have to give range name=ExampleRange and then assign the Excel cell to load the data.
Regards,
Ken

I am unable to execute swf file present in server on local machine.

Hi all,
    I am a newbie to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 platform. I don't know whether this is the correct place to post this kind of queries/problems/issues here. Till now, I had posted only basic flash issues here in this forum. I feel this is the most powerful issue which created head-ache to me till now. I spent nearly 4 hours working with this issue. But, I don't find any solution even in google.
    I have created a swf file, which when gets executed, gets data from backend database and displays as items in Combo-box. In swf file, if we select an item from Combo-box, collects data from database and gets back to flash and displays them as items in Combo-box. Each item has a specific image(.jpg file)associated,which gets displayed on stage of flash file(.swf file) upon selected from combo-box.
    I am calling/invoking the flash file, When I click on a Button/select a tab created within my Java application.But,when the button gets clicked/tab gets selected, Combo-box is visible in flash file, but with no elements when we try to click upon it and the following error is getting displayed in a dialog-box:
Title of the error is: An action-script error has occured.
The error messsage is:
Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://localhost:8888/com.mymdworld.Application/DynaAccess.swf cannot load data from http://www.example.com:8080/servlet/getviews.
          at DynaAccess_fla::MainTimeline/DynaAccess_fla::frame1()
Also, the dialog-box contains two buttons namely, "Dismiss All" & "Continue" buttons.
Please, I request anyone to help me regarding this.
Actually, What is going on internaly? & Why for is this error?
Please, spend 2 minutes of your valuable time in filling the reply to this thread.
I will be waiting for your replies...
Thanks in advance...

Unable to convert swf files into fla files

Hi,
I tried using Dreamweaver to convert a SWF file into a FLA file so I can edit it in CS 5. But when I right clicked the placeholder for the file, it doesn't have an "Edit in Flash" option. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much,
Rosemary

According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7f12a.html# WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf
asset is reflected in Flash immediately.
Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following:
Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu.
Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option. Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

Unable to load swf files in flash

Hi,
since creating all the animation in one flash file will
produce a big file i tried to split and create small flash files
and load these files in the main flash movie using the image and
swf loader component.
eg.
main.swf, sub1.swf, sub2.swf.
In the main swf , buttons are created to load sub1.swf and
sub2.swf.
The action script on button 1 is
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("sub1");
//End Behavior
where sub1 is frame label. the image loader loads the
sub1.swf file starting from this label. Everything works fine
locally but the swf files are not loading when i test in my server
or remotely.
can anyone please help
thanx in advance

I am also having a problem with action scripts. I upload
everything and still get the error message how can I solve this
problem? It's killing me.

Unable to see swf files stored in UNC paths

We have asked to create a swf movie, which can be seen only with mapped drives, but not in UNC paths, making impossible to have the file in our intranet.
We do not have any error, it is just not loaded.
What are we doing wrong?

Set up policyfile logging and see if the player is throwing security errors. I'm not sure what our limits on that kind of pathing are (but the logging should show you)

Double click on 3.1 swf file in 4.0 is not working

Hi,
We recently migrated 3.1 SP2 stuff into 4.0 SP2 and found some problems and I was unable to solve it. Can anyone help me...
1) When I double click on Flash file, its not opening dashboard and its doing nothing. This is when I go into Folders and then double click. If I right click and select view on the 3.1 dashboard in 4.0 then it is working fine. Funny thing is, in BI Launch pad Home, if I double click any migrated dashboards on latest documents section then it is working. Any idea on whats going on?
2) WRE 99998 & LO 26315 errors. Some of the migrated dashboards are giving these errors.. When I try to establish new connection using Live office and select particular Web I document then I am getting WRE 99998 error. If I open migrated dashboard in Dashboard designer and when I modify particular WebI object then it is giving LO26315 error. If I save the WebI report in Launch Pad as Refresh on Open then I can able to open it in LO as a new connection and also I can able to modify and refresh the existing connection... I am not sure whats going on here... Any ideas or help?
Anyt help is really appericiated.....
Thanks

Hi Jagan,
1) This might be a browser thing, what version are you using? Are you saying that doulbe clicking a new dashboard that has been exported the the repoository from new Xcelsius works? The other swf files, are these just saved to the repository as flash files, or exported from withing Xcelsius?
2) I have no helpful answer, sorry. Only the suggestion to not use LiveOffice. BI Services is the future.

User log in issue with Xcelsius SWF file

HI,
I am using the BI as source to BO. Xcelsius dashboard is using webi data by live office.
I have exported the xcelsius in swf file & ppt format.
i am using the credentials user name, password and authentication as SAP.
I have the roles which are created in BI and imported to BO and the roles have users in BI , which came by default to BO.
Now I have created the new users in BI with initial password. I cant login to infoview or swf until i change the initial password in BI and thn with new password i can log in to BO. I understood this concept.
But confusing part is after changing to new password in BI, i can be able to log in to swf or PPT but not fetching latest data from data base.
if i log on first into infoview , thn i can be able to log onto swf file or PPT correctly and access the latest data.
If i directly access the ppt file , i get 'failed to get the document information. lo 26315". But if i login to infoview first then to swf or ppt i wont get any problem.
The problem is, users are access the dashboard file from ppt and pdf. So , is there any work around that, the new user can directly access the data from swf or ppt, without entering the infoview???

Hi sapbi83 ,
May i Know which connection you are using for fetching data into xcelsius, is it LO(Live Office) or Qaaws
if it is Live Office then what is the refresh property set for live office object? and how many live office objects or how many qaaws connection u are using.?
provide the answe of all the above question, i'll be able to help you and Infoview has nothing to do it with the real time data connectivity. the dashboard is completely dependent on the connections used to get data into the xcelsius, if the error is coming in PPT or PDF standalone then there is some issue with the connection used in xcelsius, just let me know the answer of all the above questions.

Changes to Xcelsius affects already generated SWF file??

HI ,
I have encountered different problem. I have created a xcelsius dashboard with webi data using live office.
I have exported to swf file.
after exporting in swf , if i do some changes to xcelsius file, like ,if i change the drag down component and its values then that component is not working in swf file,
kindly advice me whether wht i am thinking is right or not. I understood that after saving the xcelsius and exporting to swf file. If u edit the same xcelsius file, this new changes wont be effecting the previously generated swf file. IS this correct?

Hai
Have u enabled the refresh option in Live office data connection in usage tab.
Check it.
Once u change the data .Go to Live office Properties->Application Options->General Tab --- >Enable all items.
then export it to portal(Infoview).Now check the Data.
Since u r Exporting to Flash files.Once it is Exported,again if u r Changing the data means,again u need to export it to Flash
Hope it Helps U
Thank u

What is the use of embedding Xcelsius Swf file in to Crysatl report?

Hi all,
I read some documents related to this integration, but still am in a confusion about the final purpose.
Can any of you answer my question patiently?
1.Is the embedded SWF acts just like a static object (just like a SWF)?
2.If, I embed a swf file in CR 2008, Will both have any interactivity between those two?
I mean, if I change the source data for CR , will the data SWF be changed? (If I have same columns like Country, Sales)
3.How the interactivity will work..? From SWF to Crystal data OR Crystal data to SWF (as I asked above).
4.I read BO doc with an example, but its not clear up to my doubts.
It would be thank full if any of you spend your time for a clear description.
Thank you,
