Embedding Xcelsius in WEBI report

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to embed Xcelsius Flash in WEBI report? I know that we need to use iframe syntax but can anyone give me exact steps and syntax of the same?
Thanks,
Shweta

In WebI, follow below steps:
1. Click the cell in which you want the gauge to appear.
2. Type in the following text (adjust to your needs) into the formula toolbar:
=u201D<iframe height=u2019150pxu2019 width=u2019150pxu2019 frameborder=u20190u2032 src=u2019../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=27792&lsSlowerThreshold=0.00&lsSmiddleThreshold=0.95&lsSupperThreshold=1.00&lsSupperBoundary=1.20&lsScurrentValue=u201D[webi_Value]u201Du2018></iframe>u201D
4. The [webi_Value] refers to the variable that holds the value you want to pass to the gauge as the currentValue. Replace this with your own variable.
5. Replace 27792 with your own ID of the swf object [ID is 27792 (by pointing my mouse at the arrow to the left of the swf object in my infoview folder)]
6. Adjust the thresholds and boundary values to suit your needs.
Thank You!!

Hi All, I want to know how to create navigation path in universe? I am using IDT BO4.0 SP4 and relational connection and want to create navigation path.

If you can give any document or link which expalins this whole process, that would be great. Thanks,

HI REMI ,
1. ANSWER TO YOUR 1st QUESTION i.e. HOW TO CREATE A NAVIGATIONAL PATH :

FOR EX :     COUNTRY->STATE->CITY . AND YOUR CUSTOM NAVIGATIONAL PATH IS     CREATED.
2. ANSWER TO YOUR SECOND QUESTION WHAT IS THE USE OF NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN WEBI REPORT :
NAVIGATIONAL PATH HELPS YOU TO PERFORM DRILL DOWN ON YOUR DIMENSION OBJECTS , FOR EX : LET 'S SAY YOU CREATED A NAVIGATIONAL PATH- REGION SALES : Containing COUNTRY->STATE->SALES. THIS WILL HELP YOU TO DRILL DOWN IN YOUR WEBI REPORT AS SHOWN BELOW :
COUNTRY                      SALES

refer to chapter 8 of the SAP Integration kit guide for more info.
Post in the webi, general, or check out the outher documents link in the forum sticky post for the latest opendocument doc.

URL link in Xcelsius (to trigger WEBI report)

I have a url button in the Xcelsius that load a WEBI report on the same server with the following url path.
http://cg01:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?..............
We have 3-tier systems, so when I migrate the xcelsius from one server to another server, I need to manually change the server name 'cg01' respectively.
Is there a way I do not need to change the server name every time I do the migration or how to make the 'server name' dynamically change?
Thank you.

Hi Alex
Yes there is, just remove the http://<servername> part to give
/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?..............
Remember though that this will only work from within InfoView.

Open the WebI report from Xcelsius dashboard

Hi All,
I would like to know how to open the WebI report from the xcelsius dashboard.
Looking at the previous posts I followed the following steps to implement the same but that is not working.
Inserted the component URL button and used the folowing link:
http://servername/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sIDType=XXX
But this is givingerre: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
Also, tried the copying the reprot link, but that is opening the Infoview login page.
I want the report to opened when we click the URL button.
Could someone please provide me a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sindhu

did you try passing the iDocID parameter? When prompted did you try to login to InfoView and check whether Report gets displayed?
Ideally the URL should be as below:
[http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<cuid_of_the_document>]
If you want to bypass the logon screen,you need to modify the OpenDocument.jsp to pass logon token to the above URL i.e.token=+token where the +token is being retrieved by sdk.

How to include a Attribute in a Navigation Block of a Web Report

Hi all,
I am trying to include an Attribute of an Infoobject in to a Navigation block. But the attribute is not appears in the list of navigation block objects inside the properties window of Web item (navigation block).
And one more thing how can we find a 25dizit number of a info object
Thank you

Hi Fasttrack2,
According to your description, there is a main report with more than 100 rows of summary information, when users click the item of the row, the report need to jump to detail information shows as graph. The problem you are facing is that you are not sure
subreport, drilldown or drillthrough report should be used? You hope to set display detail information in the main report and keep high performance of report.
In Reporting Services, each subreport instance is a separate query execution and a separate report processing task. Subreports are recommended when there are just a few subreport instances. We should not use subreports inside a group when there are many
group instances, instead, consider using drillthrough reports. Drilldown reports process all data even when the data is first hidden. In order to improve the performance of the report, we can split drilldown reports into parameterized drillthrough reports,
because Drillthrough reports do not run until a user clicks the drillthrough link in the main report.
In this case, we can consider using drilldown or drillthrough report. In drilldown report, when we click a plus or minus button to expand or collapse a section of a report, the detail data will be displayed in place. By using drillthrough report, when we
click the link in the main report, the detail data will be displayed, we can come back to the main report by click return button in the drillthrough report.

Drillthrough, Drilldown, Subreports, and Nested Data Regions

How to pass parameter from xcelsius report to WebI report

Hi,
I have a pie chart in xcelsius. When user clicks on one of the slices of the chart I want to pass the selected slice value to a WebI report.
For this I am doing following steps
1. When user clicks on a chart slice the selected slice value will be written into a cell say B1
2. Create a URL button which will get triggered on change of the value of cell B1.
3. Set the URL value in the cell say C2. Here I am using Opendoc function to open Webi report.
If I enter following value in C2 and run the report it works fine and opens the desired webi report.
="http://myServer.xyz.com:9001/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision=" &$B$1
here I am Passing two parameters Company and Decision.
Now I want to make this report run in all the environment so I changed the actual path of server( myServer.xyz.com:9001) to following
="../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision=" &$B$1
but if I do this it gives me following error in Webi:
"Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address."
Is there any other way to open the WebI report from xcelsius?

Hi Peter,
the link provided refers to Xcelsius V4.5.
In Xcelsius 2008 you have to control Flash Vars in the Data Manager.
Go to the Data Manager, Add the Flash-Var Connection Type, Select CSV-FlashVar and define a name and a range.
But i am not sure if Xcelsius Engage can handle FlashVars, because i am only working with Enterprise.
Please take a look at your manual.
For sure there are other ways to import data during runtime. Take a Look at the Connections provided by Data Manager. (e.g. QaaWS, SSRS, LiveOffice, Webservices, ...)
Also take a look at the link below. It might be another nice option for "pseudo" data connectivity

List key figures in navigation panel of web report

Hi,
I have the standard navigation panel on the left side of my web report that shows a list of the characteristics in rows and a list of free characteristics. Under the heading columns I can see the point key figures.
Is there any possibility to list all the key figures that are included in the report so that I can use the drag and drop function for adding / removing key figures?

Philipp,
Since Key figures is a structure, you cant see all the key figures under that area. What you can do is, you can restrict the keyfigures in the WAD report itself based upon your selection.
Hope it helps,

Thanks,

Execute WebI Report within Xcelsius - Bypass Authetication of Infoview

Hi,
Env: BO Enterpise XI3.1 SP3, Xcelsius 2008 and LiveOffice.
I have 2 web intelligence reports say Report1 and Report2.
In Xcelsius, Report1 is embedded using Live Office. The data is displayed in form of a list. When the user selects a record from the list, appropriate parameters are passed on to the 2nd report i.e. Report2 by clicking the URL button. The URL uses the openDocument to execute the Report2.
The problem is when I am trying to click the URL, On clicking the URL, It is displaying the Infoview Login screen and is requesting to enter the login credentials. The URL is as follows:-
http://<servername>:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AVGE4RlLphlNo0LFC0DkYno&sDocName=OperatorDetails&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&lsSEnterBilling+Operator=ABC
I am not sure how to suppress the Infoview login screen. I assume it is looking for a token but am not sure how to generate the token within Xcelsius. One of the blogs did mention a process to bypass the authetication of executing the dashboard by creating a token in jsp and then calling the dashboed swf file. Is there something silimar we can do by creating token within Xcelsius to avoid authetication to Infoview thus running webi report using openDocument from within Xcelsius.
Thanks.

Hi,
As the second report is to be viewed with the help of OpenDOc URL, so if logon tickets are not passed then the pop-up will be displayed to share the same.
You can refer the below Opendoc guide from the latest BOE version released and go through the Logon Ticket section for more information.

Hope this gives you proper details.

Need to have same report format in Xcelsius as there in WEBI report

Hi All,
I have 5 tables in my WEBI report placed horizontally. But when i try to bring these tables from webi to Xcelsius using Live office, those tables are appearing Vertically in excel. In there any work around for this. I need to display those tables horizontally in the excel as there in WEBI report.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Hi Remi,
If export the CR report to excel, you can import this excel sheet in Dashboards using the symbol near Manage Connections option.
But this will be a static spreadsheet. If you want to use the live data then you will have to go with Live Office data connection.
