Hierarchy in Reporting Agent setting

Hi,
I have partner profit center (PPC) as a reference object of Profit ctr(PC). I have 2 hierarchies on PC.
I am using those 2 in a query. (One with PC and one with PPC.)
The problem is here:
I have a reporting agent setting on this query. I use PC and PPC in it along with their respective hierarchies.
But the hierarchy on PPC always shows the leaf nodes as output in the spool no matter what level I maitain. I want to have a higher level but certainly not the lowest level (leaf nodes).
The hierarchy which i use in PPC is recently created. Has it something to do with the masterdata where is brings from or with the reporting agent setting itself.
Please help with this.

Hello Aarthi,
Have you checked the dataprovider contains the negative values.
Do a list Cube on the multiprovider and confirm it.
Have you defined single exception for both or seperate exception. If 2 then check whether exception is active?
Thanks

Reporting agent setting to drill down

My requirement is that I want to create a reporting agent setting.
When executed the report it should drill down a particular characteristic to the lowest level.
Is there any setting I can do?

you need not need reporting agent to do this
lets say you have characteristic Country and hierarchy for it with sub levels 4
you want the country hierarchy to display to its level 4 by default
set this property in query designing , open to node 4
this way it will always drilldown to sub level 4

Not able to see negative exception in reporting agent setting.

Hello Gurus,
I created a query with exceptions on top of a multi-provider. This multi-provider is built on top of a DSO and a remote cube.
Exceptions is the query
1. range from -1,00,00,000 to -0.1
2. range from 1 to 1,00,00,000.
When I created a reporting agent setting for this query, i was able to see the positive exception but not negative. Please help me regarding this.
thanks,
Aarthi.

How can I delete a Report Agent Setting

Hello,
We are on B/W 3.5 and have several Report Agent Settings under Reporting Agent --> Exceptions. These are no longer used and have no settings defined under them. When I right-click the report, there is not delete and there is not trash can in the toolbar.
How can I get rid of these entries?
Regards, Dean.

Reporting AGent problem need help immediately

I have schedule a job everyday for reporting agent. Which includes 6 reports init with precalculated webtemplate. The reason to use this is that everyday morning the job will run before users use those reports and it will add that in cache so even if users run that reports first time it will be faster in performance.
Once the job is done i can see those entries in cache memory. But when I run the report its not using cache. it takes forever to execute for the first time. after running the report on web i checked the cache entries and i saw strange thing that when i run the report for the first time its replaces the previous entry of that report from cache with the current one. (eg. Reporting Agent job was finished at 4:00am in the morning - i could see the queries in cache memory with my id and time stamp 4:00am. But when i run the report at 7:00am it takes longer time and after running the report if i check cache entry for that perticular report i dont see 4:00am entry instead of that i see 7:00am entry)
Can some one tell me why its acting weird ??
FYI: When i created reporting agent setting there are 4 options (checkbox) under calculate section:
1. Data
2. HTML for Web Browser
3. HTML for Pocket IE
4. Excel
in above options i just selected "Data" - will it might be the reason when i run the query on web its not using cache for the first time ??

Also check the SAP Note <a href="https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=0000751402&nlang=E">751402</a> and the SAP Note <a href="https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=962651&_NLANG=E">962651</a>.
Symptom
The reusability of the cache is poor when the "Not changeable during query navigation" variable setting is set. A preliminary calculation is not useful in this case.
Other terms
OLAP, cache, cache key, cache entries, reusability, reusage
preliminary calculation, variable not changeable during query navigation
Reason and Prerequisites
The various entries for each variable setting have different keys for "Not changeable during query navigation".
Solution
The key for queries in the OLAP cache comprises the following: "query", "variables not changeable during navigation" and "selection hierarchies".
To reuse cache entries, the cache always returns complete value sets that have already been precalculated and stored or subsets of these value sets. For reusage, the cache can only find subsets of value sets that have already been precalculated and stored if the key for the subset is a subset of the key for the value set that has already been calculated.
If the setting for query variables is set to "Not changeable during query navigation", a separate cache entry is created at the "Variables/hierarchies" cache level for each query selection. To enable this reusage, you must select exactly the same variable selection, since this results in the relevant key. In this case, a similarity check was performed in the cache for a query at variable level. In practice, a preliminary calculation is executed with the "*" variable selection. Usually, a user will choose another variable selection to be output. When you set the variables to "Not changeable during query navigation", you cannot reuse the precalculated value since the key does not correspond.
If the "Changeable during query navigation" variable setting is selected for a query, the variables are no longer part of the "Hierarchy/Variable" key, but rather the selection conditions (which are one cache hierarchy level lower). Therefore, the same "Hierarchy/variable" subtree for the query is selected for each variable selection (if the entry has already been calculated and stored) and checked to see whether the value set (or a subset) is considered to be a resulting set. If a value set with "*" was now selected with the preliminary calculation, this could be reused by selecting and returning the relevant value set for the subselection.
For increased reusability, the variable setting should be set to "Changeable during query navigation" and the preliminary calculation should take place with "*".
However, you should note that the preliminary calculation must have selected actual supersets. The OLAP processor only examines subset relationships in the cache. The system does not search and "merge" several different cache entries to determine the results of a query (therefore a multi-dimensional approach is not possible either).

Issue with the ROLES in Precalculation of WebTemplate in Reporting Agent.

HI BWers,
I am having trouble in understanding the functionality of ROLES and USERS in the Reporting Agent.
My goal is to pre-calculate WebTemplate,so the users can get the data results based on their ROLES.
-> When I select ROLES under Authorizations in Reporting Agent; my understanding was it will just pre-calculate the WebTemplate based on Roles. But, when I look at the job details its doing for the Users. I opted for ROLES because I have 10-Roles and 100-Users, so the job runs for only Roles.
-> I don't want to select the Users, as it will take longer time and uses lot of system resources.
Can I just run for ROLES, for that under Authorizations in Reporting Agent do I need to select Precalculate User-Specifically and Select ROLES or just selecting ROLES will do. I tried both, just selecting ROLES is not working and selecting Precalculate User-Specifically & ROLES is not yielding the required results.
Could you please throw some light on it, I am on BW 3.5 & SP15.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
swordfish.

Hi,
If you choose the Precalculate by User option, all the data and HTML pages for the Reporting Agent setting are precalculated for each of the selected users in a single job. This applies in both the cases: Roles or users. When you specify a role after selecting the option 'Precalculate by User', the precalculation will be done for all the users assigned to that role and not the role.
Roles/Users is just 2 different ways of giving the user restriction. If you specify the roles, the system will precalculate for all the users assigned to the role. If you have few users for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the user IDs. If you have many users assigned to a particular role for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the role.

Shilpa

Error in reporting agent

I get a strange error while opening a reporting agent setting.
When i navigate upto the Multiprovider to go to a particular query in reporting agent setting I recv an error
Which says
Error in a Table parameter in the Tree model.
Class - CL_COLUMN_TREE_MODEL
Methid - ADD_NODES
Table name - NODE_KEY_TABLE
Errors - Node key alreadey exists
Node Key - Q_I_2_2_2__....
Then I get a ABAP Runtime Error:
Runtime Errors         MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN
Date and Time          16.12.2009 19:28:40
Short text
Message type " " is unknown.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_RSRA_GUI_COMPONENT_TREE====CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
Only message types A, E, I, W, S, and X are allowed.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
     find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
     If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
     keywords:
"MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN" " "
"CL_RSRA_GUI_COMPONENT_TREE====CP" or "CL_RSRA_GUI_COMPONENT_TREE====CM001"
     "ADD_OBJECTS"
Please help.

Exception ( in Reporting Agent ) background job runs indefinitely

Hi
I created an Exception setting under reporting agent (to send out a mail in the SAP Office inbox, on a specific exception) and assigned it under a scheduling package.
I have assigned a proper query variant to the exception setting also.
When I exeucte the job, it goes indefinitely.
I highly appreciate if somebody can help what needs to be done to fix this.
Thanks

URGENT!! Reporting Agent not filtering data on dataproviders

I am having problems with Reporting Agent web template settings. I have a query that uses a pre-query for MANAGER. I also have a query view for this query (I also tried using just the query in the web template). I created a reporting agent setting on the web template and used the pre-query as the control query. I have 80 MANAGER's, so I expect 80 dataproviders with each dataprovider having the data for 1 MANAGER. I get the 80 dataproviders, but each dataprovider has data for all 80 MANAGERs.
The dataproviders are then emailed using an ABAP program.
I would use Information Broadcaster, but the managers are not necessarily BW users and the manager list is fluent, so I don't want to create a separate setting for each manager.
We are on BW 3.5 SP18.
Many thanks!

Reporting Agent - Raise Exception

Hello all,
we want to precalculate a query (WEB Template) which contains the fiscal year and a key figure in the colum.
Column 1 contains only the variable for the fiscal year
column 2 contains the same variable but with offset -1.
I also creadet a controll query, restricted to different companies, and this query contains also the variable for the fiscal year.
In the reporting agent setting I added the control query to the web template and creadet a variant for the control query. when I schedule this package i receive a short dump, saying "raise exception".
Can someone explain me how i have to handle this kind of variables within the reporting agent ?
We use BW 30B / SP20.
Thanks for your help

Reporting agent functions

can any body xplain how to schedule tasks thru "reporting agent". pls xplain in detailed steps.

Hi,
The functions of the reporting agent are triggered by Information Broadcasting.
The Reporting Agent was not developed any further. It was removed from the current version of the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can now only reach the Reporting Agent using transaction code REPORTING_AGENT.
Effects on the Dataset
A migration of Reporting Agent settings and Reporting Agent packages by broadcast settings is not planned.
No more new developments are being made for the Reporting Agent. The Reporting Agent functions are now covered by Information Broadcasting, SAP NetWeaver Portal and the Alert Framework. The Reporting Agent has been removed from the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can still maintain the Reporting Agent settings using the REPORTING_AGENT transaction. These settings can be maintained for queries and Web templates from SAP BW 3.x only.
General Practices with Migration
The system does not support the migration of Reporting Agent settings for information broadcasting.
The Reporting Agent is a tool used to schedule reporting functions in the background.
The following functions are available:
·        Evaluating exceptions
·        Printing queries
·        Pre-calculating Web templates
·        Pre-calculating characteristic variables of type pre-calculated value sets
·        Pre-calculation of queries for Crystal reports
·        Managing bookmarks
Note that you can only use the Reporting Agent if you are working with queries and Web templates in the SAP BW 3.x format.
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, the Reporting Agent functions are covered by Information Broadcasting. We recommend that you use Information Broadcasting instead of the Reporting Agent.
For more information, see Information Broadcasting.
Use
       1.      You make settings for the specified reporting functions.
       2.      You assign the individual settings to scheduling packages for background processing.
       3.      You schedule scheduling packages as a job or within a process chain.
The last two points do not apply to managing bookmarks.
Structure
The Reporting Agent interfaces are made up of two tree structures in the functional areas Exceptions, Print, Web Templates, and Value Sets.
·         The left-hand tree gives you an overview of the available objects as well as the settings that have already been made. To give you a better overview, you can filter according to queries with settings in the Exceptions and Print functions.
·         The right-hand tree gives you an overview of the scheduling package and manages the background processing.
In the Bookmarks functional area, the Reporting Agent scheduler interfaces are made up of a single tree structure.
Integration
The following graphic gives an overview of the different functional areas for the Report Agent and its integration:
See also:
Defining Exceptions Settings and Exception Reporting
Defining the Print Setting
Defining the Web Template Setting
Defining the Value Set Setting
Defining Crystal Reports Query Settings
Managing Bookmarks
You have defined and actively saved one or more Reporting Agent settings.
You have created one or more scheduling packages.
Procedure
Select the setting that you want to schedule in the left Reporting Agent Settings tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler.
Use drag and drop to assign the setting to the corresponding scheduling package in the right-hand tree.
If the selected Reporting Agent setting from the Exceptions or Print function areas relates to a query with variables, you must select a variant of the query so that the scheduling package can be scheduled.
You are in the view Change in the right-hand tree of the Reporting Agent Scheduler. From the scheduling package context menu, choose Assign Variants The Variant Catalog. dialog window appears.
Select the variant you want and choose Select. The system adds the selected variants in the right tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler in the Variant column.
If you want to create a new variant for the required query or if you want to change variants already created, you have the option to process the variants in both the left and right-hand tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler.
Select Maintain Variants via the context menu of the Reporting Agent setting. You the see a screen on which you can process the variants for the selected query ( Create, Display, Change).
Select the required variants as described above.
Choose Next.
You use this function to monitor and change the time and date settings on the mobile device.
Prerequisites
     You have assigned the mobile device to a particular time zone.
     The synchronization service has been configured.
Features
You have the following options:
Parameters for TIME_AGENT
Parameters
Description
Possible Values
AGENT_MODE
Activate or deactivate monitoring
ON, OFF
AGENT_HISTORY
Activate and deactivate the log function for the time and date setting
TRUE, FALSE
AGENT_HISTORY_INTERVAL
Define intervals for logging (in minutes)
AGENT_REPORT_ON_FIRST_CYCLE
Or AGENT_REPORT_ON_SECOND_CYCLE
Define synchronization cycle for sending data if the device is used by multiple users.
Set at least one of the parameters.
TRUE, FALSE
AGENT_TRIGGER_ON_SYNC_COUNT
Or
Define the number of synchronization cycles run before data is sent to server
Any integer
0 Never
1 With every synchronization
2 With every second synchronization
AGENT_TRIGGER_ON_SYNC_INTERVAL
and AGENT_TRIGGER_ON_SYNC_INTERVALTYPE
Determine the intervals (type and interval) with which the data is sent to server
Interval type:
M Minutes
H Hours
D Days
Interval:
Any integer
0 Never
1 In intervals of one minute, one hour, one day.
Activities
You define the values for the parameters in a parameter set (see Defining the Parameter Sets). Use the TIME_AGENT type to monitor the time and date settings.

Reporting Agent: Precalculated Value Set

Hi everybody,
After schedule package to get precalculated value set has finished, I need to know generated values...do you know what table stores that results?...
The job doesn't generate any spool, just an execution log!
any help is appreciated!

Hi,
You can use the TCODE REPORTING_AGENT in Bi7 to use reporting agent. But Reporting agent works only for 3.x queries it wont work for 7.0 queries. To precalculate or precache you can use information broadcasting in BI 7.0

Report Agent Precalculation in BW 7.0?

Hello,
we are using BW 7.0 Backend, but 3.x Frontends.
We want to precalculate data - can Report Agent (3.x in RSA1old) functionality be used?
Or is it mandatory to use 7.0 functionality?
Your help is really appreciated !
Angelika

Not mandatory to use bi7 reporting agent for that
we could create bw3.5 queries for all the infoproviders who sit in bi7 and hence can use t code RSA1old for reporting agent settings,
even if u create setting in bi7 reporting agent it will work for 3.5 queries

Variable in the report agent.

Hai All,
I have used a variable in the report agent to run a query in the background. The variable I used already incrementing dates automatically when the report is executed on the web. Do I need to make anymore other setting in the report agent for this variable or Is it going to be fine.
Thanks, Vijay.

Anil, Ravi,
Thanks for your advise. When I created the variant in the webtemplate the date range is feb1 to feb28. But the Date range for the query changed to march1 to march1.
After I scheduled the package, when run rsrt with statistics for FEB I see all 0's in the statistics and for march I see some count in the statistics. Will this be okay? When run using the process chain this will take right dates?.
In the Agent settings, under filtering I am using 'No Filtering'. If I click on 'explicit thru query rslt then there is variant. Do I need to take this route?
Thanks for your help in this regard, Vijay.
