Xcelsius with SAP R/3 Datasource
Hello,
I want to create Xcelsius Dashboard based on SAP R/3 Data. I have no possibility to access on a Business Warehouse. So I thought, I can create a suitable Crystal Report and create a connection on Xcelsius to this report.
Now I read that Live Office is required for this access. Is this right? How can I access via Live Office on this CR? Is this like a spreadsheet?
Or are there other possibilities to solve this? I have no possibility to create a universe. I already checked this.
Thanks for your answers in advance.

You could use Crystal Reports as a source on top of R/3 , then use Live Office to "feed" Xcelsius the data

Xcelsius with SAP netweaver connection extremely slow when executing
Hi everybody,
I am building a quite complex Xcelsius dashboard with multiple connections and many components with individual mappings.
My initial load time is now around 5 minutes (the netweaver portal loading icon) and the initialization is around 1 minute (the Xcelsius initialization icon). When I check the BI statistics using &profiling=x in the end of the URL I can see that the process "initialize item XC_DASHBOARD_ITEM_1" is causing 95% of the load time.
I read in the how to guide "how to.. build fast and efficient dash boards using the new netweaver BW integration in SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius" that the swf should be cached on the SAP system when using SAP netweaver BI 7.0, EHP1, SP6 patch 40. I can see in our system that we are on 7.01 with SP6. However, I cannot see the patch level. The cache in the query monitor is turned on, but it seems like only queries are cached in here.
Does anyone know where I can check if the swf file is being cached on the SAP system? And do you know how to minimize the time spent on the process "initialize item XC_DASHBOARD_ITEM_1" on the JAVA and ABAP stack?
I know that I could probably remove many of my mappings and components in the dashboard to get better performance, but then I cannot build the dashboard as intended. By the way, most of my connections only retrieve data when the users are navigating, so only very few connections are refreshed before load and this is maximum 20-30 cells altogether.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
MortenHi Morten,
YOu can observe the SWF caching in the HTTP trace ..along with the time stamp.
For patch you can check via the SDT as per note 937697.
Thanks,

Using CR and Xcelsius with SAP BW - what is the minimal installation?
Hi,
If this question is allready asked and answered several times i appologize.. but I'm having a hard time finding the correct information.
Our situation is that we run an SAP ERP and SAP BW solution with a federated SAP Enterprise Portal on top. The users require more graphical solutions for both static reporting and dynamic dashboards. So we want to use Crystal Reports and Xcelsius to provide frontend interface, but we want to do as little as possible backend, i.e avoid installing a full BO server with roles etc.
I appriciate that we need SAP NW EhP 1 SPS 5 to load data directly into Xcelsius and the BO integration kit transports have to be loaded into the BW system for full CR connectivity.
The problem that I'm having a hard time finding anwsers to is if this setup is capable of storing and and distributing the CR reports and dashboards to endusers? Can CR reports be stored on the BW server? Or can the CR reports and the dashboards be stored in the KW part of the portal?
Another partly related question, what desktop tool does the enduser need to run CR reports that updates with data from the BW server?
Alot of customers will have an SAP environment without any BO server/tools. Naturally we want to change as little as possible. A guide to what is needed for each BO BI tool to be implemented on SAP BW would be appriciated.Hi
for the CR reports you need a BO Enterprise (or BO Edge) installation. The access to the BOBJ server is done transparently for your SAP BW users (they are able to start their reports in SAP GUI) but the reports are not stored on the SAP system rather in the BO repository.

Xcelsius with SAP BPC 7.0 MS
Hi all
I have installed SAP BPC 7.0 MS version. In addition to this, I have downloaded trial version of Xcelsius 2008 from SAP Partner Site to test its functionalities. I want to connect SAP BPC with Xcelsius and I am following the How-To guide to do the same. However, the option to create connections under Data menu in Xcelsius is disabled. Is it because I have a trial version or am I doing something wrong here?
Can someone from SAP please confirm?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya KulkarniHi,
I too had similar problem initially and I found that I have installed the wrong version of Xcelsius. This might be the case. So please look into this.

Performance issues with SAP BPC 7.0/7.5 (SP06, 07, 08) NW
Hi Experts
There are some performance issues with SAP BPC 7.5/7.0 NW, users are saying they are not getting data or there are some issues while getting data from R/3 system or ECC 6.0. Then what things do I need to consider to check, such as what DataSources or Cubes I need to check? So, how to solve this issue?
What things I need to consider for SAP NW BI 7.0 u2013 SAP BPC 7.5 NW (SP06, 07, 08) Implementation?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
QadeerHi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

Xcelsius in SAP BPC 7.5 MS
Hi experts,
I have a couple of questions with regard to xcelsius in sap bpc 7.5 ms
I am using SAP BPC 7.5 MS AND Xcelsius 2008 sp5.
I already installed the required extended analyzer and EPM connector.
Now here are my questions
1st. I have a file named BPCDATAGRID.XLX, is it the same add ons that mentioned on the HTG? i tried adding this add on but everytime i add this file my xcelsius freeze. in short it was unsuccessful. Could you please teach me or tell me where or how to download the BPCDATA grid that was mentioned in the HTG?
2nd. Since i installed the extended analytic analyzer. im wondering why the function =GetReportDefinition() wouldn't work.
when i check the available functions of IDPrj.AnalyzerFuncs, it includes only two functions, namely AnalyzerOLAPMember and ButtonActionFormattingSheet. Will you please please please teach me how to deal with this.
Thanks in advance.
yajepeHi Sorin,
according to the guidlines, SAP posted in the wiki, for connecting SAP BPC to Xcelsius via XML connection I have to connect the XcelsiusService.dll via .NET framework 1.1.4322.
This might not be the correct way anymore, but there is no other guide on how to connect BPC and Xcelsius.
Can you provide info on a other way of connecting BPC to Xcelsius?
Thanks in advance,

MichaelHi Philipp
My version is 700 and the database is DB2/400 for IBM System i.
The sapcrypto is treated differently on this platform, so I havent done anything with it as yet.
I logged a message with SAP which has gone to the BC-JAS-SEC queue and the reply I received is below. Please let me know if this has helped you as I have not had the chance to get back to the system to try these steps :
regards
Michael.
To do the further investigation, may I check info below with you:
- are you able to read the content of the
/sapbwtest/global/security/lib/tools/iaik_jce.jar file with jar
- do you have the full strength JCE files installed for this JDK?
See note: 739043
- What user is used to connect to the Database from the java side in
the secure store? check if the password is correct or the user
is unlocked.
Make sure the connection details in Secure Store are the correct ones
you can check it in the config tool:
the jdbc/pool/<SID>/Password and jdbc/pool/<SID>/User

Xcelsius with XMLA or XML Query Result Set
Hi Experts,
I want a direct connection from Xcelsius to my BW-Data. Because the new connection, coming with Fix Pack 2.1 is only avaiable for EHP 1 for NW 7.0 I tried to configure with XMLA and XML Query Result Set.
This Document tells the necessary steps: How to integrate Xcelsius 2008 with SAP NetWeaver BI without Integration Kit.pdf.
When I test my XML connection over http://<host>:<port>/TXmla/srvlet/TestXmla my Cubes will display.
So I do a Webservice-Connection with WSDL-URL. At Input-Values there are some entries like CUBE_NAME, CATALOG_NAME...
Output values arent avalible. How do I use these elements to show my Data in Xcelsius?
My Problem with the XML Query Result Set Connection is, that when I Log On to VC the following error appears:
You are not authorized to view the requested resource.
So I get the authorisationobjects: S_DEVELOP and S_RS_COMP as describe in 'How To... Resolve Visual Composer Issues'.
What values have I to enter by S_RS_COMP? And how can I enter my External Service in S_SERVICE. At the type WS the service isnt't avaiable.
Regards,
JanTo use XMLA web service you need a wrapper function build to convert the XMLA output to the Xcelsius format. There are some documents available in SDN on how to do this.
You can use Live Office or Query as a Web service option to connect from Xcelsius to BW.
S_RS_COMP is the query ID which you are trying to access, S_SERVICE you can either give * or try to set up authorization log and see the expected value. -
Problem in Xcelsius with BI Web Services
Hi,
we are working with Xcelsius 2008 when we are consuming the
query_view_data Web Services, the result structures don´t appear
complete. For example in Axis_Info we can´t see the internal fields of
the structure "Chars" ( structure that shows us the characteristics involved in our query).
We are using this method to create the Web Service for our system BI 7.0.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d8/3bfc3f8fc2c542e10000000a1
550b0/content.htm
We don´t know if this is a bug and was resolved or if there are another solutions to send a BW query information to xcelsius ( other Funtion Module for example).
I would appreciate your help.Hi,
the web service is not formatted for Xcelsius. there will be a direct web service - it is planned for the second half of this year (see the roadmap here in the BI area for details). right now you can use Live Office or Query as a Web Service.

Integrate BO DataServices with SAP PI
Hi
Has anyone extracted data from SAP PI web services using BO Data services 3.2. Is there any documentation how to do this?
We tried to create a standard Web Service DataSource, but we are receiving the error message:
An error occurs while browsing the meta data for the web service. An error occurred while importing meta data. Unable to resolve import document at url. Server response code: 401for url.
We also looked into using a adapter DataSource using the WSDL file we got from the SAP PI people. Then we can see the input and output schema of the web service but when we try to use data DataSource, we get the error message: XML parser failed.
What is the correct and best practice way to communicate with SAP PI using Data Services 3.2? Is there any documentation on this?
Kind regards

What is a BW datasource?What is meant by maintaining a datasource?
A BW datasource is a structure which is created in the source system and replicated to the BW system. Maintaining a datasource in a source system is doing any changes related to the datasource. It could be adding/deleting fields or checking the flags in the datasource like the hide and selection flag. Also, if the datasource is provided in the LO Cockpit, changes can be made there too depending on how the extraction of data is ...

Creating SAP BW data source definitions
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ablxhelp/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.abx.dev.doc/abx-t-develop-sapbwdatasource.html
An InfoCube describes a self-contained dataset (from the reporting view), for example, for a business-oriented area. This dataset can be evaluated with the BEx query.An InfoCube is a set of relational tables that are created in accordance with the star schema: a large fact table in the center, with several dimension tables surrounding it.
In its esence, Infocube is a data container. Data containers are used as a basis for analysis and reporting processes in SAP BW. Infocubes in SAP BW serve exactly this purpose. Infocubes in SAP consist of Key figures and characteristics. You can find some detailed information on key figures here. Simply speaking, infocube is any repository which contains data. Moving on to the types of infocubes. In SAP BW, there are basically two classes of infocubes. These are:
Basic Infocubes - These are also called as physical infocubes.
Remote Infocubes - These are also called as virtual infocubes.
The basic difference between the above two types of infocubes is that basic infocubes are physically stored in the same SAP BW system as their meta data description. Remote infocubes are stored on a third party custom SAP BW. Both the above types of BW infocubes consist of key figures and characteristics. These characteristics in turn are divided into 16 dimensions. More on that in another post.

Extract Structure
In the extract structure, data from a DataSource is staged in the source system. The extract structure contains the amount of fields that are offered by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. You can edit and enhance DataSource extract structures in the source system. To do this, in the BW Administrator Workbench choose Goto à Modeling à Source Systems à Your Source System à Context Menu (right mouse click) à Customizing Extractors à Subsequent Processing of DataSources.
Transfer Structure
The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into the SAP Business Information Warehouse. It provides a selection of the extract structure fields for the source system.
Use
The transfer structure provides BW with all the source system information available for a business process.
An InfoSource in BW requires at least one DataSource for data extraction. DataSource data that logically belongs together is staged in an extract structure in an SAP source system.
In the transfer structure maintenance, you determine which extract structure fields are transferred to the BW. When you activate the transfer rules in BW, an identical transfer structure for BW is created in the source system from the extractor structure.
This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system into the BW transfer structure, and is then transferred into the BW communication structure using the transfer rules.
A transfer structure always refers to a DataSource from a source system and an InfoSource in BW.
You get to the maintenance of the transfer structure using the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench. The context menu of the source system belonging to an InfoSource provides you with the maintenance marker using the function Maintain Transfer Rules.
This website gives all definitions of Info object,infocube,infosource,datasource,commn structure,extract structure ..etc..

SAP Business Information Warehouse
SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical information in the best possible way.
The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com. SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as mySAP Supply Chain
Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM), and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
SAP BW is a comprehensive end-to-end data warehouse solution with optimized structures for reporting and analysis. To help knowledge workers quickly mine an enterpriseu2019s business data, SAP BW is equipped with preconfigured information models and reports, as well as automatic data extraction and loading methods.
With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.

How to revert back User Management changes with SAP ep6
Hi,
While implementing sso for R/3 with sap EP, we did some changes in SAP System of UM configuration, after that we are not able to login with existing super user.
We changed the existing userid SAPJSF to some other value in SAP system of UM. This is causing the problem.
How can I revert back the changes as currently I am not able to access the UM Configuration?
Which file can be change for reverting back the changes?
Thanks,
ManishHi Heiko,
I restarted server two times but it does not work. I also reverted the changes from propertysheet as well. Still it does not work.
