Server Busy

[#1]

Many times when crating a dashboard, the canvas is locked and i get the following message:

Server busy

This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch P" to activate the busy program and correct the problem

I then have to click a great nr of times either on "RETRY", "SWITCH TO" or try to close the window by clicking on the little cross on the upper right corner of the window. After much clicking it goes away. Sometimes it does not and I have to close XC and open it again or even restart the PC. This is an exceedingly annoying problem I also used to have with 4.5 pro. In those good old times when you could actually contact a BO Support guy (!!!

I am still having this issue, but I think my situation is a little different.

1. i get the "server busy" message when I try to open an xlf file in Xcelsius. I do not know how to resolve this issue. I need some help.

Hi Kekin01,

If you are still reading this thread I recommend you to do the following:

1. Right after you open you xlf file minimize your desktop with control key + D while xcelsius is opening.

2. Click again over the xcelsius window in the windows bar to maximize it and you'll see an excel windows with the messasge of compatibility mode. You need to press the "Continue" button in order to preceed with the openning of the file.

This happens because when xcelsius starts, it launchs an instance of excel in order to open the embedded excel and if the excel file has been saved with compatiibility mode then excel warns you and waits for you to press the continua button.

This happen to me once and It took me a day to figure it out.

Hope this helps.

cheers,
