Information Broadcaster scheduling

Hi all
In BI 7.0 broadcaster settings, i want to include the schedule time which i created in SM36, but the thing is even if i made a Job setting created in SM36, i am not able to see the Job settings in Broadcaster scheduler drop down ( by clicking the overall settings i can change to direct scheduling or when data changes/ define the time), I have the required authorization, Am i missing anything here.

Hi Dell,
Make sure that no load (cubes related to this reports) is happening while information broadcast/ make sure that all the process chains loading the cubes related to this reports are scheduled in different timings to IB.

Deleting Information Broadcasting Scheduled Jobs

Does anyone know how to delete an Information Broadcasting setting after the associated workbook has been deleted? The IB job runs when the data provider is updated and just hangs because it can not find the workbook. In IB distribution you can view the scheduled settings, but it does not let you delete.

Craig Stephen

Varible for Information Broadcasting Schedule (send Workbook with E-mail)

FYI: I set a broadcasting schedule to send workbook with e-mail. The pre-calculated server was set already.
My problem is that I want the value in selection-screen to be dynamic.
e.g. I want the date (variable for 0CALDAY) to be filled with value of current date (the date on the day that the schedule is executed).
When i set the broadcasting schedule, the wizard asks me to set the variable for selection screen. ("Variable Assignment"). I selected the variance that i prepared. (However, for that variance the date is fixed.) So, for everyday that the schedule is executed, the date value of the selection-screen is not the date that the broadcast schedule is execute; but it was the date on which i set the schedule.
Is there any method to set a dynamic variable (something like a dynamic selection of ABAP report) ?
or How can i solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your inputs in advance.
Rlyn

Hi Rlyn,
Have you thought of using standard SAP exit variable for restricting 0CALDAY in the query in the workbook on which the setting has been scheduled.
The SAP exit would automatically determine the current date and query your dataset as per the current date and then broadcast.
Other way to do this would be to create a variant ....as you have done and to change the value of the variant everyday using an ABAP program to change the value in the database tables (RSRVARIANT for 3.x and RSPARAMETERIZA)
I would suggest you to try the former method(SAP exit variable).
Hope it helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Information broadcasting scheduling from web frontend

hi all,
i want to initiate the process of executing information broadcasting while clicking a button on my web frontend(BPS-web).
i mean after clicking on a button on frontend ,the button is linked to some function module and that function module in turn executes broadcasting.
can anyone suggest some solution.
thanks,
ajay

The Web API allows you to call Broadcasting using a URL Web API Command:
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='START_BROADCASTER ' SOURCE_OBJECT_TYPE=DP
SOURCE_DATA_PROVIDER='DP1' START_WIZARD=X DISTRIBUTION_TYPE=MAIL>
You can call this using javascript and have a button that kicks off the broadcasting dialog.

Information Broadcasting(Event Data change in Info provider)

Hi All,
Does anyone have experince on the functionality Information Broadcasting ,Can you please help me where we use Trigger event when change in the info provider in the process chains.I want to know when we use the (Trigger event in the Broadcaster) in the process chains,how will it take effect in the Information Broadcasting scheduler screen when we select the particular Info provider when there is any data change.Can you please elaborate on the topic if any one has used the event data change in the info provider.Actually I Executed and scheduled the pocess chains, when I go to the Process chain log ,It says that the Job is finished and the data change is occured for the Cube,but I dont get any error message and I dont get any mail to my Inbox.Can you please through some light if anyone has worked on this,Answers are always appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks.

Hi,
Usually we trigger an event in SM64 tcode..if u want to create an event u will go for SM62.
In addition to time- and calendar-based job scheduling, the background processing system supports event-driven scheduling.
Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a particular condition has been met. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for that event.
Events are not saved. Once an event occurs and triggers any jobs that were waiting for that event, the event is discarded
U can monitor process chain via Tcode 'CCMS'..

Scheduling question for information broadcasting

I am confusing between 2 options In information broadcast.
1) executation at pre-defined time
2) direct scheduling at background processing
I have no idea what is the different of each.
I read the sap help but it still does not make clear to me

HI,
In BI 7 we have various options..
If you have Java Stack in BI server then it will use Portal and then there you can configure the settings, you need to give one technical name and then schedule the same.
We faced the problem, in my system there is no Java Stack so we used BW 3.5 WAD in BI 7 system and then in WAD we configured the Broadcasting settings and saved with one Technical name then used RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER program and create Varient for "Broadcasting settings and saved with one Technical name " and in PC after Cube load we given this Program with Varianet , so once dataloads will happen the reports will distributes.
Thanks

Problem while scheduling email via information broadcasting

Hello,
I am trying to schedule one email using information broadcasting.
When i say create new scheduling, i can see following as a default,
Next start at tommorrow's date at tommorrow's time.
What i want is that it should display today's date and time by default.So that i can schedule the email for today at any time.
How is it possible?
Please help me out.
Regards,
Steve

Yup.. you need to check the implemented server time zone.. you can see also from menupath system status..
if you want to change i think it will be global change across all the users at all the regions..
I think you can see in one of SPRO settings.. i think so..

Information Broadcasting: Monthly Reporting with variable dates

Dear all,
we have created a lot of reports with RD and have pubished the reports in the portal. Our reports have a lot of selection screens. Now we would like to use information broadcasting. We have already created information broadcasting settings. We have maintained fix variants for our reporting
For example:
Variant x1
Organization: C110
Scenario: Actual
Date: is filled by the user Exit
Now we tried to shedule the report. We are using Variant x1 to find the correct selection. The problem is, that we have already saved a fix date in the variant (for example 01.01.2008), because the field is obligatory.
The User-Exit for the variables works with step 1, but the problem ist, that the variant x1 is overwriting our User-Exit value.
How can I avoid, that the Variant is not overwriting the User-Exit. Of course for reporting without variant, the manual entry has priority before the user exit.
Thanks for a soon feedback.

hi,
in order to update months, firstly create variants for the reports. Then implement the below program modifying the users inputs. For current month or last month you have to hard something like sy-datum(6), an you have to hard code the field name for the month variable that you use in query.
Below program is for BI 7.0, you can also check the document. It also contains a method for bw 3.5 variants.
You can schedule this program in a process chain or make variations of this as needed.

endif.
update rsrvariant.
if sy-subrc 0. insert rsrvariant. endif.

RSRVARIANT-VNAM must be your month variable.
RSRVARIANT-LOW and HIGH must be your automatic month like sy-datum(6)

In Bex under the Business Explorer / Tools, you should have a Distribute option to distribute workbooks. This should open the web browser based Information Broadcasting inerface which allows you to send a wkbk immediately, or you can schedule the execution and distribution.
I believe with 3.5 SP15 there is an option to distribute as a csv file. I believe the Note has you add an entry to a table that adds csv as an output option, but I think the technical functionality actually exists before SP15.

SAP BI - Information Broadcast through E-mail.

Hello,
I am facing issue with information broadcasting.
I set up a Broadcast setting,
1) Distribution type: Broadcast Email
2) Output format: MHTML as Zip file
3) Variable assignment: determine here
4) Filter navigation: No filter
5) scheduled monthly
When i broadcast the report, the user receives the e-mail with the Zip file.
But when he open the file he is not able to see the data (though there is data in the system)
                                                      email send
Bex report -
> BI System -
> user (user receives the email but cannot see data)
This occurs for different users. But the user in the past has received e-mail with data.
Please help me in understanding this.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Hey there,
Have you checked the SAP Notes mentioned below:
Note 958314 Broadcasting: Limitations for the MHT format
         772246 Display of MHTML mail incorrect
Also, it would be advisable to run the support desktool from Note 937697. If you find any RED errors, try to correct them using the suggestions given (see right-hand side). This checks the communication configuration between systems and platforms and may highlight errors which would affect the broadcasting of emails.
Hope this helps!
