Xcelsius Problem ..

I am using score card control in my Xcelsius(Ver 5.3.0.0) Dashboard.
I have bound the control to 13 Rows from the spreadsheet.
Then I generate the preview, it shows the correct display.
But when I export the same to Enterprise Portal, 14th blank row comes below the 8th row
Also a Vertical scrollbar appears on the scorecard. I have checked the option Ignore Blank Rows.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Dennis.

Hi Dennis,
I had the same problem one year ago. I installed a fix pack in order to solve this problem.
But I got this problem with Xcelsius 2008 SP1.

Paulina

    Posting to make my problems known since they are not in the "known issues" post and there is no solution for them on any other posts.
    Problem # 1 - The spinners do not display other formats besides numbers.
    Problem # 2 - There is an error displaying a picture when first loading a swf, when using two menus, one to control the visibility of a container and one to control various pictures that are shown within the container.
    I've made a pdf of my problems and you can view it by downloading it at the link below:

    Thank you for creating the new post to list the issues you are experiencing! The "Known Issues" post is a convenient location to look up issues that were documented by the developement team prior to release of Xcelsius 2008. They are also addressed in the Release Notes. Any additional or new issues need to be brought to our attention so that they can be tested and verified by our developement team and QA testers. We can then update the Release Notes to cover the newly discovered issues, and possibly address them in a future release.

  • Xcelsius.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

    Hello all,
    I've been having a continual problem with an Xcelsius document I've been developing and I'm hoping someone might be able to assist. When in design mode, all of the dynamic controls & calculations are working fine.
    I have 5 tabs :
    1 which stores my main data (about 4000 rows)
    1 which stores fields bound to drop-down selections, and also some dsum calculations for 3 charts (about 10 rows)
    1 which stores static values to populate the drop-down combos with (about 50 rows)
    1 which stores some test data (about 80 rows)
    1 which stores data which I've managed to replicate the functionality of a pivot table (using sumif), so the user is dynamically changing this data accoring to combo selections (about 50 rows & 30 columns) - about 9 pie charts reference this data
    Basically whenever I try to then preview as a swf, Xcelsius tries to generate for about 5 minutes and then comes up with the subject message "Xcelsius.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    Any ideas of how to solve? I've tried uninstalling & re-installing, and the service pack 1 made no difference. I don't think what I've developed is that complex to render in swf.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Marco

    Of a similar nature; since installying SP1, I can open Xcelsius, do nothing, close it and get the same message Marco is getting.

  • Problem in opening Xcelsius file

    Hi,
    I had created a dashboard. I am now not able to open the file. Gives an error "Crystal xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or have features that cannot be supported by this version of crystal reports". Then gives an error "Problem Accessing Excel: Exiting" and then it throws me out.
    I have tried
    1. giving 'Full control' to 'everyone' for MS Office.
    2. Re-installing Xcelsius
    Still it doesn't work.
    Note: Other XLF files opens properly.
    Can anyone suggest solution for this problem?
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Ingo,
    The xCelsius I have is a free trial version which comes from the SAP site.  My current version of xcelsius is 5.0.0.99 and Build Number is 12,1,0,247.
    As of now I have not installed any SP and/or fixes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem for web service path for Xcelsius engage in flash object

    Hi, All
    I had created one xcelsius through Web Service of SAP B1.it works well.
    but when I run the flash object came from xcelsius by explorer,it gives one message
    "Can not access external data"
    thier I have to give path for swf file and web service path -- (which is given at the time of connection of xcelsius through web service in data manager)
    and I have to run the web service then it shows
    the dash board made from Xcelsius very well.
    but when i change the path of same web service to other m/c then flash file does work and it gives message
    "Can not access external data"
    but in practical my web service path can be changed, it should not fixed for path which is given in data manager in Xcelsius.
    I am using Xcelsius Engage 2008 sp3
    please give suggetions for solve the problem
    thanks in advance

    Hi Venky CRMIT, Bruce007
    Aside from the question, I tried another methods and I have succeeded calling webservice. A reference URL is
    http://www.webbasedcrmsoftware.com.au/crm-on-demand-tutorials/65-java-access-to-crm-on-demand#_Toc224720963
    Main cause may be jsessionID as you guess. When I try with EAI, I have send login information and message call at once, so URL may be incorrect.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Problems between Xcelsius and WebDynpro for Java

    How should I do to show Xcelsius in WebDynpro for Java?
    How should I transport data between Xcelsius and WebDynpro?
    How should I control WebDynpro with Xcelsius?For example,firing plugs in Xcelsius like in WebDynpro to change one view to another.
    How should I do to execute a Java method in Xcelsius?For example,scheduling a job on clicking a button in Xcelsius.
    Besides these,I also want to know the same problems between other BOE contents and WebDynpro for Java.

    Hi Pradeep:
    Well that purely depends on the business application (project) your client is proposing. Following are very few factors which will drive for creating web-based applications:
    VC: it's a UI modeling tool (non-programming) for creating rapid creation of web-based applications.
    WD: its a powered by Java and ABAP with which you can create robust business applications.
    If your client is very choosy about rapid application development, reporting, rich user interface, to reduce TCO then VC is the choice. Or if the project contains typical integration with SAP and non-SAP systems, complex business logic development, integration with WCM systems...etc then WDJ is the option.
    If you’ve some sort of custom development with facilitating the Development Infrastructure (NWDI) then WDJ is the only option I could say.
    We hope with NW CE 7.1.1(referred by Priyanka Singh) tighter integration between these TWO tools may over come the ambiguity of using them.
    Tnx,
    MS

  • XCelsius Generic Problems

    Hi everybody,
    I am a corporate user of Crystal XCelsius 2008, and after 3 months using it, I just wanted to post here my opinions on the product and also some of the (big amount) of problems I've found with it in hope they are solved in future versions of XCelsius.
    I find XCelsius a good product overall. It allows for fast deployment of interactive dashboards that are very appreciated by management, allowing for quick and informed decision taking. However, there are a number of issues and problems XCelsius needs to solve in order to become a trully powerfull dashboarding tool:
    - I am running XCelsius 2008 in a brand new Windows XP SP3 laptop with 4GB of RAM, Microsoft Office 2007 and all the latest patches applied. However, XCelsius keeps crashing regularly for no reason whatsoever ("Could not load localized strings" error, "Error loading Excel" error and others). I am now manually saving my work every 3 minutes, but it's a big inconvenience that XCelsius isn't reliable enough.
    - Every time I try to install a new XCelsius version/patch (XCelsius SP2 for instance), the setup stalls on registering modules and never finishes, having to manually kill the process. After much investigation (this forum helped a lot), I found out that this is due to incompatibility problems between XCelsius and McAfee Anti-virus which we use in our computers. This is the only software I've found problems with in this area, and anyway a corporation-oriented software should never ever have this kind of issues.
    - Erratic behaviour. This might seem very strange, but I've found myself (more than once) having to re-enter a formula in the worksheet in XCelsius because the first time it simply didn't work. The second time it works without a problem.
    - The Excel formula support is way too limited. Formulas like SEARCH or SUMIFS (new in Excel 2007) are critical in a data-driven enterprise environment, and not having them available is a big problem.
    - While trying to overcome the above limitation I installed the XCelsius Component SDK to see if I could replicate the functionality of those formulas with custom components. Problem is, although I am fluent in ActionScript and MXML, the SDK documentation is so sparse I could not even figure out how to write my own function.
    - Performance is another issue. When you use a reasonably-sized data set, XCelsius performance degrades exponentially, something not acceptable for corporate customers. I am not talking here about 10's of thousands of rows and columns, but simply 2,000 rows and 15 columns.
    I am simply posting thsi here in the hope that I am not the only user experiencing those issues and that BO listens to its customers and imporves the overall XCelsius experience in the near future.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply and understanding, xzatious. Now I know I am not alone!
    I definately learnt to get used to those errors, but that doesn't make them less annyoing. As for the tip on the Excel process running in the background, thanks but I was already aware of it. But precisely this evidences one of the biggest problems with XCelsius: the poor coding techniques used when developing it.
    Any developer in the world knows one of the first things to implement in the application you are developing is good exception handling, and definately XCelsius is not an example of that. Most of the times, when it crashes, it simply says "Xcelsius.exe has found an error and needs to close" and then it leaves the Excel instance it has been using running in the background. What kind of exception handling is this?!?!? An enterprise-oriented software like XCelsius with its price tag (not cheap!) should be much better developed than this!
    And there's one last issue I forgot to mention, and that's more related to the selling/pricing area: when we bought XCelsius Engage (not Server), it came bundled with Flynet Web Services Generator. This is a very useful piece of software if you don't want/can't/don't have time to write web services yourself. But I had to speak witht eh Flynet guys themselves to discover my copy of Flynet wasn't working because it only works with an XCelsius Engage Server license! Why does it come bundled with regular XCelsius then?!?!?!?

  • Problem with BW query/Structure in Xcelsius

    I Build a universe based on a BW Query with structure.
    I created an excel/live office file of this universe and data are  correctly returned.
    But when using the live office imported in Xcelsius and click on preview with the option of refresh on load enable, the column of the query with the structure does not display the description of the indicators (product A, product B, product C), but a  tecnical name (selection1, selection2, selection3).
    Any suggestions!?

  • Qaaws not refreshing query triggered from Xcelsius, maybe a cache problem

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with QAAWS and Xcelsius
    I'm using a List Builder component to select multiple values in this case STATES from the efashion universe
    I use the selected states as values to feed a prompt in a QAAWS query, the qwaas query has  the SALES REVENUE as the resultset and in the conditions it has a multi prompt for STATES
    When I preview my dashboard, I select the States, then UPDATE the values and then refresh the query with a CONNECTION REFRESH button, The first time I do this it works fine and returns the Sales revenue.
    If I add a new State to my selection and then run update and run run again the query with the refresh button, it doesn't work any more and it shows again the value retrieved from the first query
    First I thought that the query wasn't triggered by Xcelsius, but by doing some more tests I found that actually the query runs but it returns the value from the first query
    I think this is a cache problem , so is there a way to tell QAAWS to always run the query and not use the cache?
    thanks,
    Alejandro

    Hello Alejandro,
    QaaWS indeed uses a cache mechanism to speed up some Xcelsius interactions (from XI 3.0 onwards), but your issue should not be induced by this, as cache sessions are discriminated according to session user id & prompt values, so if you are correctly passing prompt values, QaaWS should not serve you with the previous values by error.
    Could you specify how you are passing several prompt values to the QaaWS? There might be an issue there, so make sure that:
    1. QaaWS query prompt is set using In List operator, otherwise only first value will actually be taken into account,
    2. In Xcelsius Designer Data Manager, web service input paremeters are duplicated to accept several input values (you cannot submit you list of prompt values as a list to a single input parameter).
    If this still does not work, I'd suggest you debug your dashboard runtime using an HTTP sniffer like Fiddler (available from http://www.fiddler2.com/) which enable you to inspect the sent & recieved HTTP messages with the server, where you should verify which prompt values are sent to the QaaWS servlet.
    FYI, you can set the QaaWS cache lifetime for each query, by going into QaaWS edition first wizard screen, click Advanced... button and change value for timeout parameter (default is 60 seconds)
    Hope that helps,
    David.

  • Xcelsius Using BICS filter problem

    Hi
    I am using xcelsius with bics remote services
    Here my problem is like
    In Bex query itself i put filter for products(Ex pencil,pen,Book,Papers)
    in Data connectivity(xcelsius Side) screen also i applied filter(in input values)for product
    I am using drill for pie chart to fill the filter cell in spread sheet
    Based on the filtercell  the listbox will display the product names
    Here my problem is listbox is show pens and pencils(when i click on pens and pencils in pie chart respectively) but it not showing papers and books(when i click on books and papers in pie chart)
    So what i am understood is filter is working properly but y its not applied for all product
    Guys could you please help me?

    Hi Venkat,
    Can you please tell me, which kind of Variable you are using for filtering.
    If you are filtering without variable. your query won't give the data other than those materials u have filered globally( means in query global filter pane).
    Even though your problem looks like issue with drill down. please check.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Xcelsius plug-in for Sharepoint problem

    The Xcelsius plug-in for Sharepoint is not in the
    Gallery after installing. Sharepoint has not references
    for it on the virtual server website. No solution is
    created nor an entry in the wppack* table:
    stsadm -o enumwppacks
    dropdownnav.cab, http://geo-portal/

    Software Verions:

    Sharepoint Services v3
    Business Obj R2
    Xcelsius 2008
    My observation is that the plug-in is not designed for
    v3 of Sharepoint (WSS) services. It looks like a v2
    (WSS) install.
    The install script did indicate that it was successful,
    however the WPPACK***.log did have the following

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi
         I met this problem last week. I also use WSS 3.0. After investigation I find that I need to add that web part using STSADM.EXE (stsadm.exe u2013o u2013addwppack u2013filename -url). Before this you need to find where this web pack is located. In my case, this web part is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\WPPackager\{1a1222e8-6985-4f29-985d-fa5103a53f88}\CrystalXcelsius.WebParts.Container_Business Objects.cab. My OS is Windows Sever 2003 64bit. You can have a try.
    Good luck!

  • Problem in Drill down the PPT produced by Xcelsius

    I usually prepare the PPT using Xcelsius s/w. That PPT can be drilled down in my office system but it could not drillled down in my client system. This problem is for this month. In the past i didnt face this issue.
    When i try to drill down its giving an error message as " Some controls cant be activated in ur system"
    Can anyone please help ?

    I've had a similar problem going back and forth between systems with Office 2003 and Office 2007 loaded on them.  If the file is viewed from an Office 2003 machine the next time it's opened on a 2007 machine it crashes.  I have reinsert the chart each time.  I'd love to stop doing this!

  • Xcelsius, Live Office, and Crystal Reports Migration Problem

    Hi Experts,
    I have a problem when migrating Xcelsius dashboards from dev environment to production environment. In my dev environment, I have Crystal Reports which are published from BW dev environment and Xcelsius dashboards consuming the data in these Crystal Reports.
    When I try to migrate from dev environment to production environment, I first transport Crystal Reports from BW dev environment to BW production environment and publish them to BOE production environment from BW production environment. Then I use Import Wizard to migrate Xcelsius dashboards from BOE dev environment to BOE production environment. But this way, the live office connections inside the Xcelsius dashboards break because the underlying Crystal Reports cannot be found.
    The other option I can think of is migrating Crystal Reports using Import Wizard rather than transporting them to BW production environment and publishing them to BOE production environment from there. After the migration using Import Wizard, modify the database connection of these reports in CMC. I usually do this for Crystal Reports connecting other data source than BW. I haven't tried this with BW reports yet, because I think publishing is the right way to do it.
    I'm on BO Edge 3.0, Crystal Reports 2008 V0, and Xcelisus 2008 SP1. And I don't have much upgrade options. Currently, I can only upgrade to BO Edge 3.1 and I don't think that makes any difference.
    So how do you migrating Xcelsius dashboards, connecting to BW Crystal Reports via Live Office connection?
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Edge 3.1 has quite a few bug fixes over 3.0 and then I believe you would want CR2008 SP1. But without upgrading anything BO products usually link information via unique identifiers such as the SI_CUID, If you use the IW for everything this is sure to be preserved. If not then I do not know but a good possibility from your symptoms is the CR SI_CUID may have been changed by the way you migrated it. If you are unable to make progress you may consider opening an incident with the BO deployment team but if it's a bug you will need to upgrade to 3.1.
    Regards,
    Tim
