What is the diff b/w BO webi reports, crystal reports and
xcelsius ?
Thanks...

Answer Posted / raj mahesh

Till SAP BO R3, Web Intelligence would have only source as
Universe but from SAP BOBI 4.0 Web I can able to connect to
many other sources... Eg: Bex analyzer.

Crystal Reports Is any how ultimate, It can connect to
plenty of data bases Including crystalreports.com,
salesforce.com...

And when coming to Xcelsius Dashboards, It Is not end with
Microsoft Spread sheet. It Is also one of the source where
we can import a spread sheet and model the data and then
make Visuals.

But when coming to external sources like Live Office, QWAAS,
Web Services, XML, Live Data Sources and all, the Inbuilt
spread sheet In the Xcelsius dashboard tools just acts as a
data modeling tool but It Is not a source.

EG:

We have a Web-I report where we would like to use that
report In dashboard using live office then we may bind the
data to the spread sheet to connect the components. But the
actual source Is the Universe only. That's why we may face
plenty of performance Issues when the number of Live Office
connections are more In a single dashboard.
