Hello;

Thank you for your fast response. Do you have any documentation or examples to create XML files or examples of how setup xcelsius with XML using the Crystal Xcelsius Designer 4.5?

I'll appreciate any help you can give me.

Please let me know if you need any information.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Johanna,

There is a good example in the Xcelsius 4.5 help.

In Xcelsius 4.5 Designer, use Help, Contents to bring display the help window.

In the Contents Tab expand Using Advanced Features, Using the XML Data Button component.

Read the section Sample visualization: XML Data button component which includes sample ASP code.

You can use Flynet Webservice generator to create webservices using any source.

If you are using XC 2008, Flynet comes included in the package. Following links might help you to get a feel of webservices in Xc.

xcelsius can not connect to Oracle directly you have to use some middle layer to get the live data from Oracle to Xcelsius, like XML data button, Web Services,,,, etc

you can create a jsp file which is using a JDBC to get the live data from Oracle , and make this jsp file come like an XML map, and use this XML with XML Data button in you Xcelsius Dashboard.

i've used this way many times to create live dashboards and its doing very good with me.

good luck
