Export QaaWS generated report to PPT

other Xcelsius - Crystal Dashboard Design
1

Hi there,

I’m using QaaWS to generate a SWF file with Xcelsius. It works perfectly in the preview.
But when I export the SWF to PPT it only shows the report, without the data attached. My Report is without data in PPT!
What am I doing wrong. I want to include the data with the report , when exporting to PPT.

Thanks in advance!

When u r using QaaWS, data is not stored with the report, instead it (i.e. WSDL)will be refreshed (on load or on interval) each time and pull data from universe.

I was afraid of that…

If I am understanding this correctly this means that I am not able to export to PPT, or PDF for that matter. Or am I incorrect?

You should be able to export but you can’t have current data (i.e. the data which you see when you preview) associated with it, but should have data from previous refresh associated.

I think Step1 might be your case, if not try Step2.

1.Make sure you “checked” either “Refresh on Open” or “Refresh on Interval” from webservice properties. If you didnot check any of these, query doesn’t run and data will not be pulled.

2.Make sure you don’t have problem with the version you are using from: Differences between xcelsius versions

By default Shockwave Flash (SWF) files that you run on your local machine (that want to connect to
external data) will be allowed to run but will not be allowed to connect to the external data (including
using the URL Link Button) for security reasons.

The solution is:

  1. Create a text file in this folder (folder may not exist) -this is for all users on your machine:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust
  2. In the file you either put in the full path name of each SWF you want to trust, or the full path to the
    application to trust any SWFs the application runs:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\POWERPNT.EXE
  3. Save the text file with a unique and meaningful name.
  4. You should now be able to run the SWF in PowerPoint.

Thanks for the input!
