Hi,
I have a dashboard created in Xcelsius 2008. The dashboard is very bulky has many components considered to be heavy. I am trying to upgrade this dashboard in BI4.1. The dashboard has been created using live office connections.
I followed following steps,
1. Launch Dashboard Designer (version BI4.1 SP6)
2. Located Xcelsius2008 dashboard source file (.xlf file)
3. Open the dashboard
4. Dashboard starts opening and remains in state of "initializing.." for a quite a long time. Sometimes it takes 15-20 min just to open.
5. After opening dashboard, I didn't find live office connection in data manager. Which is very strange...
6. So went to excel - live office tab, entered enterprise settings and logged on.
7. Tried to refresh all objects, dashboard kept refreshing for a long time and ended with error LO 01400 which is associated with live office.
I know, I have mentioned multiple problems here, but my precise questions are as below
1. Am I following the right way to upgrade dashboard? Dashboard is not published in repository and is used in stand alone mode.
2. Any idea/thoughts why it takes so long to initialize components?
3. Why I am unable to see any live office connection in data manager, am I missing something here?
4. I have modified registry entry that allows Live office connection to remain active for an hour, but still I get LO 01400 while upgrading live office objects
5. Is this a know product bug?
6. Does upgrading this way, breaks live office connections?
Any thoughts on this will be of good help. Although, I have raised this issue with SAP, haven't heard any solution as I write.
Regards,
Girish Oak
