XML Limit for Xcelsius Engage

I just read on another thread (SP1 Limit Connections) and it stated that FP3 solved this issue. Is this fact? So, how many XML connections can you have with Engage?

With the initial release of Xcelsius 2008 Engage, there were no restrictions on the number XML data connections per model. SP1 introduced the limitation of one XML data connection per model (this is a change licensing and not a defect). This licensing scheme still holds true for FP3.

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.

Help to overcome 32K XML limit for Anychart Map

Hello,
Apex version 4.2.0.00.27
I am creating a heat map using the Anychart maps and have chosen to use the "Use custom XML" option in the Map Attributes to control the map being generated. However, I have hit a 32K limit for 'Custom XML' that is being passed to the Map.
A sample of the XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<anychart>
<charts>
<chart plot_type="Map">
<b>&P_MAPXML.</b>
<palettes>
</palettes>
</chart>
</charts>
</anychart>
I am using a procedure to generate the required XML and have created an Application Item (P_MAPXML) to hold the data. When P_MAPXML along with the enclosing XML is less than 32K then map dispalys correctly. If the XML generated is more than 32K then an error occurs as it truncates P_MAPXML and the Custom XML is no longer well formed.
There is a workaound via an old thread AnyChart gantt with custom xml and more then 32k but I was wondering is there a more upto date solution.

Thanks Hiliary,
I soldiered on before I saw your reply.
I basically wanted an example of the minimum necessary to display an Anychart Map via the javascript method as there seemed to be issues with the examples that were on the forums not least assuming that every step was understood.
Anyway below I have put steps together just to display an Anychart Map and then along with your example above or the others from the Forum it can be customized to display dynamic data.
1. Create a new page within Apex
i) Under Application choose Create Page -> Blank Page -> Page Alias - (type: WorldMap) -> Name (type: World Map) -> ->Finish
2) Click Edit Page
3) Right Click on Region , Choose Create -> Click PL/Sql Dynamic Content ->Title (type: World Map) ->
Under Pl/SQL Source cut and paste the following:
<pre>
htp.prn('<textarea cols="500" rows="100" id="rowData" style="display:none">');
htp.prn('<anychart>
<charts>
<chart plot_type="Map">
<chart_settings>
<title enabled="true"><text>World Map</text></title>
<chart_background enabled="false"/>
<data_plot_background enabled="false"/>
</chart_settings>
<data_plot_settings>
<map_series source="world/world.amap">
<projection type="Mercator" centroid_x="10.4515266418457" centroid_y="51.1656913757324"/>
<undefined_map_region>
     <tooltip_settings enabled="true">
               <format>{%REGION_NAME}</format>
          </tooltip_settings>
          <label_settings enabled="true">
               <format>{%REGION_NAME}</format>
          </label_settings>
     </undefined_map_region>
     </map_series>
</data_plot_settings>
<data>
</data>
</chart>
</charts>
</anychart>');
htp.prn('</textarea>');
-- Line below seems to be coming out blank, should be:"
htp.prn('<div id="chartMap"></div>');
htp.prn('<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/i/flashchart/js/AnyChart.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
AnyChart.swfFile = ''/i/flashchart/swf/AnyChart.swf'';
var chart = new AnyChart();
chart.width = "800";
chart.height = "400";
var data = document.getElementById("rowData").value.toString();
chart.setData(data);
chart.write("chartMap");
// alert(data);
</script>');
</pre>
Click Create Region
4) Run the Page.
If all is well it shoulld display the World Map, just be careful with the div tag line as that will need to added manually.
As said previously, there's lots of help on the forums about creating the dynamic content but this should be a good place to start, having a map that will display using that method.

XCelsius Engage Server 2008 integration with Crystal Reports Server 2008

Hi there....
I am kinda new to XCelsius and am confused with the integration points XCelsius Engage Server offers for 'Crystal Server 2008' users.
The trial install package for XCelsius Engage Server (SP1) has a binary installation for XCelsius and then for Adobe LifeCycle DataServices. The installation document in the distribution does not talk about what the 'engage server' part is? and how it can get integrated to an existing CS 2008 installation ?
any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated. Also is there a document/white paper explaining how this whole family of CS and XCelsius products fits together ?

user12111287,
To answer your question.....No, I do not. But we have run Crystal Reports using P6 data.
As far as I know Crystal Reports only needs a database of some kind in order to do its thing. Are you attempting to set up a "real time" data link (ODBC) to Crystal via SDK?
If not, you could just build your own P6 exports or develop your own reports that would provide the data for feeding Crystal Reports. Maybe set up an automated Job Service task to run a batch of reports on a daily basis.
Hope this helps.

Unable to utilize Drill-Down for all Filtered Dates in Xcelsius Engage 2008

Iu2019m very new to the Xcelsius Engage 2008 product and donu2019t understand what is needed to correct the drill-down problem encountered in a newly created dashboard.
The issue is with Drill-Down from a filtered chart. For some reason, I am unable to correctly pick any data item from the chart located top of workspace to drill-down to the lower chart when selecting a month beyond Jan u201911.
Iu2019ve unhidden the Label Based Menu, List Box 1 and List Box 2 during attempt to find out why I am unable to drill-down when I select a month other than Jan u201911. As youu2019ll see, when you u2018manuallyu2019 click in the unhidden List Box 2, the bottom chart is displaying the correct data.
Also - new to post for this forum - is there a way to attached the XLF to help with visual support to the problem?
Thank you,
Deborah

Hi there and welcome.
First troubleshooting step is to add a spreadsheet component to your canvas so you can watch what's happening. Second, have a look at this step-by-step to make sure you're not missing any steps. http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/xcelsius-interactivity-chart-drill-down.html
Can you select only Jan '11? Or only up to Jan '11? Are you selecting whole months or days?
Assuming that your second chart is filtering for this date, I would check that the formatting is correct. Try, for example, removing all formatting so that you're seeing 40668 instead of a date. Does that work?
Also, it can be helpful to post your version number. This can be found under Help > About Xcelsius and will something like 5.3.5.0

XML Parser for PL/SQL and related issues

I need to have further information about some of the following
issues and XML features and make a determination useful for
evaluation and recommendation:
ISSUES
1) Is there a maximum size for an XML document to provide data
for PL/SQL(or SQL) across tables, provided that no CLOB are used?
2) How about from Oracle to an XML document ?
3) Is there a ratio between XML document size and main memory and
SGA size. What are Oracle's recommendations /
4) Can the Oracle Application Server run on a DHCP NT server when
using XML parsing ? Is it NT Service Pack 3 and 4 compatible ?
5) How parsers can interact with one another or related tools ?
For example, how the XML parser for c/c++ could be useful when
using Pro*C/C++ (programmer 2000) or OCI interfaces ? In other
words, what is the business logic in using these tools ?

The limit should be what can be inserted into an object view.

The limit should be what can be retrieved from an object view.
: 3) Is there a ratio between XML document size and main memory

Not directly due to the relationship between XML metadata and
data not being constrained.
: 4) Can the Oracle Application Server run on a DHCP NT server

If it can run a JavaVM with the correct permissions there are no
other special requirements.

No special requirements here.

Not really sure of your question. The XML components are useful
in any application where I am processing documents or data with
an XML structure. The choice to use XML can be based on quite a
range of requirements due to its declarative syntax and open
standards. If you give me a specific application, I can perhaps
be more helpful.

What do I need to create Flex custom components for Xcelsius 2008 SP3?

Hello, and thanks for your time.
I have recently been roped into creating some custom components in Flex 3 for use in Xcelsius 2008 SP3. I can create custom components in Flex, but I have no idea how to get them into Xcelsius.
I have begun my own research into everything I am going to need, but I am hoping someone out there who has done this can provide a user-friendly itemized list of all the parts that are needed to accomplish this task. I want to make sure I do not miss anything.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.
What I have so far:
Flex Builder 3
Xcelsius Engage Server 5.3 (2008)
What I think I need:
Xcelsius 2008 component SDK
Cheers!

Xcelsius Engage 2008 Fix Pack 3 (FP3) is available

Hello,
Xcelsius Engage 2008 Service Pack 1 - Fix Pack 3 (FP3) is now available and posted on the SAP BusinessObjects download support site. You can access it here: [https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
It applies to Xcelsius Engage, Engage Server and Enterprise. Not Xcelsius Present.
You must already have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed before installing FP3. FP3 installs over SP1 and/or FP2. No uninstall or new keycode is needed. Please unzip the download before attempting to install.
The FP3 Fixed Issues document is also available at the above link or in the zip file. While the FP3 Release Notes and Known Issues document is available at [http://help.sap.com/content/bobj/bobj/index.htm]
After the upgrade in Help > About your Xcelsius version number should be 5.1.3.0. (Build 12,1,3,495.)
Fix Packs are cumulative meaning that all the fixes since SP1 are included in FP3. So FP1 and FP2 do not have to be installed first.

I upgraded from 4.5 to Engage mid March so I guess I need this patch. The problem is that when I try to download it, I get two windows. The first one says:
"Windows cannot complete the extraction. The destination file could not be created"
The second window says:
"The upgrade can not be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade".
I don't understand the first message and the second does not apply. Can someone decipher these messages? Thanks!

Best Practice Advice for Xcelsius Beginner

Hello, all -
This is my first post to the community. Please forgive my naivety. : )
I've read about half of the 400 page Xcelsius manual, and am still confused about using individual cells to comprise a series. My client has a ready-made Excel spreadsheet generated from Crystal Reports that I am using within Xcelsius Engage.
Specifically, I am trying to build an easily reusable Xcelsius document that does not require the spreadsheet to be changed (additional functions/formulas). I would like my client's admin to be able to just copy and paste the data into Xcelsius and publish.
But when I try to use 3 separate calls to comprise the values of a series (to calculate total revenue), the text box in my line chart properties doesn't display my selection. My question boils down to this: Is it best to custom design a spreadsheet (and require my client to invest additional human resources), or is it best to strive for advanced Xcelsius programming and just use a ready-made spreadsheet?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for the prompt response. But what I am wondering is if I should ask the client to design a new report format to easily integrate with Xcelsius, or try to work with the client's ready-made (designed for a different purpose) spreadsheet, and through advanced Xcelsius programming (multiple series, insertions, etc.), manipulate it to do what I need it to.
Specifically, what I have been given by the client is a spreadsheet broken out by month, that on each month page there are 3 cells that correspond to different sources of revenue. In a perfect world, I would change the spreadsheet design to calculate a total for each month, so I could use the monthly totals in a simple line chart. What I am wondering is am I asking for an unnecessary amount of hassle trying to do this through multiple series, insertions, etc., and should I just ask the client to create a new report format.
Additionally, can someone tell me if it is even possible to pull values (in the case described above, monthly totals) from different pages to comprise a series?
Thanks!

Xcelsius Engage 2008 - Error msg during install

Would someone please help! I am trying to install Xcelsius Engage 2008 and recieve the following error msg's:
1. Office XP application: Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint must be pre-installed. Higher versions work fine. (Clicked "OK")
2. Installation ended prematurely because of an error. (Clicked "OK")
My OS is XP Professional, and am running Office XP on my machine. Why is this occurring?

javier,
I have tried this on 2 machines - one with Office 2003 and Office 2007. The install aborts on office 2003 (I uninstalled and reinstalled office 2003). I tried two different downloads of xcelsius 2008 (we have license for xcelsius 2008 enterprise) - one from this forum and other from service marketplace software downloads area for BOBJ. Same error.
Documentation says office 2003 and 2007 are supported. Frustrating -- the sap notes search does not even recognize excelsius key word (now that knowledge base is gone) - asks me if i misspelled..
any other clues?
Thanks

Trouble with the Xcelsius Engage Demo

I have been trying to download and demo the new Xcelsius Engage 8.0 for a week now. I'm having difficulty getting it to work. At first I had an error that popped up saying that it could not located the VCREDIST.MSI file. I did a Google search and found that this is a problem with installs at times. I had to download a removal tool and remove the C++ Redistributable program then reinstall it from the Microsoft site. That problem was fixed. Afer that, I cannot get the key code to work. I have been emailing someone in sales who has given me other key codes to try, but nothing is working. ALL I want to do is to demo this latest version before we buy it. I currently have Professional 4.5. Can anyone please help??

Can you check the following registry setting?
Allow u201Cread/full controlu201D on the reg key permissions for each user/group:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0
Please post if this resolves the issue or not.

XML Gateway for EBS

Hi,
i am new to this EBS, i am not sure i use the correct word (XML Gateway). i would want to write some programs in the form of URL (people usually it call it XML web call?), so that when other system developed in PL/SQL can refer to this URL whenever they want a certain transaction. It is for warning or validation purpose.
Below is the scenario.
For example: i have set the credit limit of $5000 for CUSTOMER A in EBS. So when my user input the order for this CUSTOMER A in other system developed in PL/SQL (mod plsql), i want the package of PL/SQL to make a web call, and this web call will return the result in XML output. <status> and <error_message>. If the status=1 then success, if status=0, then that PL/SQL package should return error.
how do i achieve that?
thanks
Robert

hi Srini/Hussein,

regards,
RobertAFAIK, XML Gateway is used for bulk xml processing using flat files (e.g. EDI transactions). I believe what you are looking for is an EBS function that is exposed as a web service that is callable over middleware using SOA. There are a few examples out there - google for "oracle ebs web service". R12.1.3 has built in SOA gateway that can be used to expose EBS APIs as web services. Check the SOA Gateway R12.1.3 docs at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_07/current/html/docset.html

Sorry for the delay in posting , we went on Xmas break just after this post and have only just returned.
Just to add here that in most cases we can solve this installation issue and it is due to known issues we have with:
1. Non-English versions of Windows.
2. 64 bit operating systems.
If you contact us at the e.mail provided in the link Andy has kindly given then I'm sure we can get you up and running.
