Xcelssius 4.5 migration to Xcelsius 2008 - problems

Hi,
I am trying to migrate some Xcelsius models from 4.5 to 2008 and found a number of issues - please can anyone else confirm if they have experienced the same things or if there are fixes for them:
- on bubble charts you can no longer edit the data labels as the options screen for them (appearance>text>data labels) is broken.
- Flashvars no longer work and need to be rebuilt.
I have seen other people mention that formatting issues are to be expected when converting models to Xcelsius 2008 but have seen no mentions of these specific errors before.
thanks
Keith

  • My list of Xcelsius 2008 Problems (so far)...

    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    Been using it for a couple of weeks now with a view to moving our solution over to this to make use of the OFFSET function which should get around the performance issues we have faced in 4.5.Build info...Xcelsius 2008 version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121Windows XP sp2, Office 2003. 1) If you upgrade a 4.5 file into 2008 the list of components available is different to if you had created a clean 2008 file u2013 backgrounds change etcu20262) Transparency of the icon object seems to have been reversed in 2008 - things that were invisible in 4.5 have now all become visible!3) Grid behaviour has changed - now if a cell is empty the visible cell is compressed which looks pretty silly.4) The option to change the text colour based on Alert status within a grid has been removed - this means indicator flags can not be hidden making grids useless for showing any sort of complex alert.5) Stability of the product is very poor when the number of components used gets high...6) The product was formerly very WYSIWYG - but when a xlf is upgraded to 2008 the fonts shown in dev time are quite different in size to those shown in preview/swf7) Any 4.5 XLF that has an image component that contains an SWF fails to upgrade - it crashes during the rendering of the components.8) Memory usage seems very high in 2008 - just opening the product with an empty xlf uses up to 200mb. When dealing with pretty complex xlf's it goes to about 350mb! Good excuse for a memory upgrade though ;)Anyone else having the instability issues?  It could well be down to the locked down environments on the machines here so I will test it on a clean VM when i get chance...On the positives the new dev environment is much better (putting aside instability mentioned above) and the expansion of supported excel functions is much appreciated :)I very much look forward to the SP in July...Cheers,jez.

    Hi,
    I did not use the previous 4.5 version. We purchased Xcelsius 2008 last month, and so far we were excited of what we "thought" it could do. But the stability is extremely poor. I am trying to do a dashboard with tabs and accordion menus, line charts and texts; but it gets crazy after loading so many components and then it won't open the canvas again. I have to back up my work every 2 hours, because I lost my dashboard (and had to do it all over again) 7 times within a day!!
    We are testing Xcelsius 2008 using right now the import from excel functionality. But our goal is really to connect to a reporting database or XML data from PeopleSoft. With that said, is the Xcelsius Enterprise Server or the Engage version any better on stability? Or do those crash all the time as well?
    Is the SP that will be released in July applicable for all versions?
    Thank you,
    Rita

  • Problem in starting the evaluation version of Xcelsius 2008

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Xcelsius 2008 free trial pack yesterday. I have admin rights to my PC so I was able to install the program. But when I tried to start the program (both in Start->Programs->Xcelsius->Xcelsius 2008 and in the respective folder on my C: drive) I get this message:
    "C:\program files\businessobjects2008\xcelsius\xcelsius.exe
    This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem".
    I already tried de-installing and then re-installing but that did not work out.
    I would really appreciate if someone could help me on this.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    you can check the following:
    - Is Microsoft Excel installed on you system?
    - Is the version of Excel supported by Xcelsius?
    Take care,

  • Supported pdf versions and mouse over problem for Xcelsius 2008 SP3

    Hi,
    Have below queries regarding Xcelsuis 2008 SP3.
    (1) Encountered last character truncation problem for the x-axis and y-axis labels when viewed using adobe reader versions higher than 9.0.0. Viewing the pdf doc using adobe reader v9.0.0 has no label truncation problem.  Preview in Xcesius is also ok.
    (a) Y-axis label - eg. No. of students. The last char [s] is truncated when exported to pdf.
    (b) X-axis label u2013 when labels are oriented vertically, they are very close to the x-axis. The last char is truncated.
    Please advise what is the supported pdf versions for Xcelsius 2008?
    Any workaround to overcome the truncation problem?  
    (2) Mouseover in charts. When the series name has < symbol, Xcelsius truncates the remaining text that's after the < symbol.
    Is this a limitation that < symbol cannot be used? Any workarond for this? Any document to reference on the limitations of Xcelsius? e.g. If series name is '>1 and <=2', mouse over desc becomes '>1 and '.
    Thanks and Regards.

    Hi ,,There are a lot of developments in SP3 version. But some loopholes which I caughtu2026
    1. The value button/spinner is no longer supporting a cell having some formula. Also the time it is taking to load data which depends on value button/spinner as a result of change in it, is comparably very high as compared to earlier version.
    2. Still there is no component like pre-load animation. So it is difficult to know weather the tool is running or not when one selects an option in some selector.
    3. One still finds it difficult to work with a large range of data/complex spread sheet in xcelsius as it crashes while exporting.
    4. Export to excel still needs Tomcat Web server,Java help. It is not simplified.

  • Problem with Xcelsius 2008 sp3 service pack chart slider into adobe flex

    Hello All,
    I tried to use the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 and created a Chart with a slider the new UI element which is introduced in the Service pack versions ..  now i tried to implement the logic in Adobe flex builer 3 setting the compiler properties as hot fix 2.0 . Followed all the rules like creating an action script and creating MXML component.. Now when i try to embed the same swf whic is generated into webdynpro component it gives me error tht some classes or some events or some variables are missing..
    According to my assumption i doubt wether the xcelsius 2008 sp3 will support the adobe flex 3 with this hot fix which i was initialy using .. So can anybody suggest me what can be doen to overcome this issue and make my new chart with slider run in my webdynpro abap :(...
    Regards,
    Sana.

    Hi Sana,
    You might be using Flex 3 sdk library files.
    Just check in Properies of your Flex project -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path .
    You might get the library files as Flex 3.*
    If it is the case then change it to Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3.
    now create a new project and compile your application and use the same swf.
    Otherwise try to import any existing Flex 2 project folder with compiler flex 2 ver. then try the same swf in your xcelsius application.
    Regards,
    Vivek

  • Migration From Xcelsius 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 with SP3

    Xcelius 4.5 using Live office XI Release 2 to access data. SWF file is published in BOXI R2 .
    Company is upgrading
    from BOXI R2 to BOXI R3.1;

    From Live Office XI R2 to Live Office XI 3.1
    Planning to use Import Wizard Import SWF file from BOXIR to BOXI 3.1
    Because of LIVE OFFICE is upgrading to BOXI 3.1, do i need to open Xcelsius 4.5 XLF(source file) into Xcelsius 2008 with SP3 and re-create SWF file & pubish into BOXI 3.1 ?
    Without recreate new SWF[Xcelsius 2008], file previous[Xcelsius 4.5] version SWF file work in BOXI 3.1 or not ?

  • 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 2008 is not backward compatible with ver 4.5

    Post Author: Joseph
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I tried opening a project that was done with ver 4.5 but it just said that "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or may have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius." So i guess I probably have to recreate the project in the 2008 version to take advantage of the new features available. So I imported the excel datasheet used in the old project to a new project in Xcelsius 2008 and tried recreating the objects from scratch. I had started with an accordion menu and two list boxes and then I decided to export to swf to test. However, the result was disappointing. I could only see the two list boxes but not the accordion menu. There was a message saying "Initializing..." that stayed. Does this mean I have to recreate the excel data from scratch as well?

    X2008 is backward compatible with CX4.5.  But Jim is correct. There is a bug in X2008 which prevents it from opening some 4.5 models by double-clicking on the filename.  They can be opened from the File > Open menu.  This only affects opening the model.Due to the many changes between CX4.5 and X2008, the migration of old CX4.5 models is not clean.  Differences will be seen.  Most are cosmetic affecting only the look of the model.  But some tidy up, color changes and re-alignment work must be done.   There was no way to gain the benefits of X2008 and still keep CX4.5 models unchanged.Andy  

  • 'Error applying transforms' when trying to install Xcelsius 2008 fp3.2

    Hello
    I've just tried to install Xcelsius 2008 fp3.2 (I am currently on Xcelsius 2008 sp3). I did read the installation notes, and I wonder if the problem I had is related to the fact that I am not logged in as administrator (I'm on XP).
    The package extracted and as the installer ran I got the message:
    'Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform oaths are valid'.
    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi Phil,
    Can be...
    To resolve this error, copy all files from the disc to a local computer location (for example, the desktop). Install Crystal Xcelsius from the setup.exe file at that location.
    Hope this helps.

  • Xcelsius 2008 SP4 won't work on Win 7 but does on XP ?

    Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with xcelsius and using the keyboard. I have now tried the Enterprise Edition Xcelsius 2008 SP4 on 3 x Windows 7 machines (and the Xcelsius SP3 with hot fix 3.3 on 2 windows 7 machines) and if I open a new project drag a pie chart onto the canvas (or anything) and try to replace the heading pie chart with "MyChart" as soon as I hit the M the software locks up and I get the following message.

    The strange thing is that if I write MyChart in a cell in the excel sheet and copy and paste it over Pie Chart it works fine as soon as I hit a key (even the backspace) I lock up the program. We tried on a clean image Windows 7 machine that IT hadnu2019t given out yet and same thing happened then we loaded it on an old XP machine and it worked!
    I Tried changing the compatibility to Run on XP SP3 but that didnu2019t help and turning on run as Administrator made no differance
    . Any ideas?
    This is the same for changing the timing for the xml maps thatu2019s where I first noticed the keyboard locking up the software, you can change the time with the 2 arrows via the mouse but if you highlight 5 and then hit the 6 key its the same error as above
    Extra weird just opened it up and went to the help thought Iu2019d type in u201Ckeyboard locks upu201D and guess what as soon as I hit the K, same error
    All our images have Office 2007, Dasault Draft site and a few other bits of software I was running 4.5 Xcelsius and that was OK
    Any ideas would be most helpful.

    Hello David
    Thanks for replying this is really bugging me. Sorry I've been a while replying I've been overseas on a course last week and didn't have work email access.
    Firstly the machines that I have tried it on are HP desktops about 1-2 years old with USB keyboards
    I tried the on screen keyboard and it locked up as soon as I clicked on a character whilst trying to rename a pie chart, this was the same for a remote net support session, and a remote RDP login to my machine by our IT department.
    Our IT guy said the keyboard drivers were current but I may just try and do an upgrade and reply a bit later on that as well.
    Does not happen on any other software on this machine.
    I'm checking for Flash upgrades but we currently have 11.1.102.55 and the newest is 11.1.102.62 so will load that and reply later also.
    Do you think it possible to download a corrupted version of Xcelsius the stupid thing about that idea is that I downloaded SP4 but if I load SP3 hotfix 3.3 that also locks up and I have that on an official DVD from Rockwell Automation as Xcelsius comes with their Factory Talk Vantage Point software as a dashboard builder.
    Thanks again Darren

  • Xcelsius 2008 Engage Won't Install in Windows 7

    The installation of Xcelsius 2008 Engage completes but the program cannot be used at all because the license key is stated to be missing or invalid.
    This is a common problem on other systems but it can be worked around in various ways. However the workarounds fail in Windows 7.
    The required registry entries that need to be edited are not present in Windows 7. Running as administrator does not solve the problem either.
    It seems Xcelsius 2008 can only be used on Windows 7 by running under an XP virtual machine.
    Does anyone have a way to get Xcelsius running natively on Windows 7?
    My Windows 7 system is the 64-bit release candidate. Xcelsius 4.5 runs on this but only when run as administrator and in XP SP3 compatibility mode with desktop composition and visual themes disabled.

    Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
    If you still have problems, please post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in

  • Can't get Preview to work in Xcelsius 2008

    My system crashes everytime I try to reun Preview in Xcelsius 2008.  I am running Windows XP and Office 2007.  I have installed all critical updates.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flashpoint.  When I hit Preview the system starts to generate the SWF and then I get the very polite message - Xcelsius.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  Meanwhile the SWF is still trying to generate.  When I "click here" to get more information I get:
    AppName:xcelsius.exe
    AppVer. 1.1.0.3
    ModName: msvcr80.dll
    ModVer: 8.0.50727.1433
    Offset:0008aa0
    If I hit debug my computer goes into never never land and I have to reboot.  If I hit close then Xcelsius closes but then  Excel connection does not.  I either get the message "Problem Assesing Excel:Exiting" or "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources".  If I go to the task manager and exit Excel manually then I can reopen Xcelsius but I still can't run it.

    Okay I've tried a couple of things since I posted this original question.  Starting with once again uninstalling and reinstalling Xcelsius and Flashpoint.  Based on your question I tried all the export options - it crashes everytime.  The problem must be in generating the SWF.  If I start with the blank page and blank excel it'll let me go to preview.  If I open one of your example files it'll work.  If I open any of the files I built in 4.5 it crashes.  If I just import in one of my excel files and leave the canvas blank it crashes.  Kind of suggests it's an excel problem or an interface problem.  I do notice it doesn't matter if I'm importing an 2003 .xls file, a 2007 compatible .xls file, or a 2007 .xlsx I get the same incompatibly box before it'll import.
    The spreadsheet I'm wokring off from works fine in 4.5 Professional

  • Changing the behavior of a XCelsius 2008 Dashboard

    Hello all,
    i have a problem with the coded behavior of a dashboard in xcelsius 2008.
    The main scene is:
    there is an edit-field on the surface and a lot of checkboxes
    The user enters an internal number into the edit and then klicks on an checkbox to start a crystal-report
    this is the actual version and its ok: report starts and the entered number is given as a parameter to the report (via open-document)
    But the new requierement is, that if the user has clicked several checkboxes (and on the surface you can see several checkmarks) to start several reports and then reenter the given number in the editfield, all previous checkmarks had to be cleared on the canvas.
    I tried this in excel but i allways get a circular reference while trying to memorize the first number for a comparison with the next input.
    Perhaps it is more logical problem, but as a beginner on xcelsius i dont know much about the possibilities of coding within the excelshhet - is it possible to use vba-scripting for this?
    because if i use only formulas i can't solve this problem/requirement.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your quick answer.
    The reset-button is also in the Dashboard, but the idea was, that this action can be implemented, so that the user only has to insert numbers without clicking another element (the reset button) It was an idea of comfort to handle this implicitly.
    Thanks
