Error in Broadcaster - An Active RFC Server could not be found

Hi all,
I am trying to broadcast a workbook to my mailbox through Information Broadcasting, i am trying this in BI 7.0 system.  In the Broadcasting wizard, I gave my mailid & the other required credentials.  But when i click on Schedule, i am getting a Error message "An Active RFC Server could not be found.  Error occured during processing of framework class CL_RSRD_PRODUCER_EXCEL, type PROD". 
I checked in SU01 & my mailid is already added there.  So, where am i missing or is there any settings need to be done for the Broadcaster to work?
Thanks,
Murali

The precalc server is not needed if you are generating html output, but certainly is mandatory  for the Broiacaster to run/distribute BEx Excel Workbooks. 
The BW needs access to a Windows computer that has Excel on it.  The BW connects to the Precacl and sends it a request it run a BEx wkbk, which the BW then can email to users.
The precalc server is a Windows Service.  You can install it locally on your desktop, or it can be installed on a windows server.  There is a little config that needs to be done.  The How To Troubleshoot Information Broadcasting link in the other resposne will provide all the steps.  You should obtain the most current version of the software from SAP.
You'll need a precalc server for each BW system in your landscape that you want to broadcast BEx wkbks from, so if you have Dev and QA systems, you'll need precalcs for them as well.

  • Broadcasting Workbook Error | An active RFC server could not be found

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue while trying to broadcast(distribute) a workbook. The broadcasting of a query from the query designer works fine. But when I try to distribute a workbook, it throws up the following error. We have used the SMTP method(<i>Using SMTP plug-in</i>) for broadcasting and we know that we can use RFC(<i>Using RFC connection</i>) too. But my question is whether RFC method is a must for workbook distribution.Kindly help me.
    Thanking you,
    Best Regards,
    Manesh

    Hi,
    Are you using BI 7 ?
    Have you configured a Precalculation server in transaction RSPRECADMIN ?
    Precalculation servers are basically PC, that are used for their Excel capabilities, in order to produce up-to-date workbooks.
    Best regards,

  • HT201210 Trying to restore ipod and keep on getting error message: the ipod software update server could not be contacted. the network connection was reset

    Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Newsfeed error - The operation failed because the server could not access the distributed cache.

    Recently installed SharePoint 2013 RTM, on the newsfeed page an error is displayed, and no entries display in the following or everyone tabs.
    "The operation failed because the server could not access the distributed cache."
    Reading through various posts, I've checked:
    - Activity feeds and mentions tabs are working as expected.
    - User Profile Service is operational and syncing as expected
    - Search is operational and indexing as expected
    - The farm was installed based on the autospinstaller scripts.
    - Don't believe this to be a permissions issue, during testing added accounts to the admin group to verify
    Any suggestions are welcomed, thanks.
    The full error message and trace logs is as follows.

I tried connect to DB via Oracle SQL Developer and SQL Plus and both run without problem, but when I insert the same parameters into application OpenText Content Server 10, then I see this Error:

  • Error message received: The iTunes update server could not be contacted

    Please help! I'm using a windows 7 laptop. The iTunes store is not displaying images, and if I try to import a CD it will not access the gracenote database for track info.Tried updating but got the error message 'the itunes update server could not be contacted'. I'm accessing the internet via a Tmobile dongle and all other web content is working . I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked my driver are up to date and that my AVG firewall allows iTunes through.I have disabled the windows firewall.I tried disabling the AVG one completely too but that had no effect so I'm stuck - can anyone help?

    Not sure if you already fixed this problem or not, but I recently upgraded my laptop to Win7 and ran into the same issue.  My Internet connection was working fine, I could even browse the store within iTunes, just couldn't download any software or firmware updates.  I fixed it by editing the "hosts" file located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.  Open it in notepad with admin rights (right click notepad & select "Run as administrator").  Uncomment (delete the hash symbol "#") the last 2 lines or the ones that consist of "127.0.0.1   localhost" and "::1   localhost".  Restart iTunes and see if this works (if you haven't already found a solution).
