Information broadcasting for tables/graphs

Hi Friends,
I would be pleased to know if tables/graphs can be sent by mail, just the way tabular data is sent through infromation broadcasting. If yes please let me know the procedure.
Points assured.
Requirement is pretty urgent.
Sanjay.

Hi Vijay,
What u are telling is true & graphs are delivered as tabular data that way(not in graphical form).
I want graphs to be sent in graphical form only, not in tabular form.

Information Broadcasting for specific reports on1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th of month

Hi
I have a multiprover which contains 10 reports .
Out of 10 reports, four reports have the broadcast settings .
But i want to broadcast only two specific reports on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th of each month by using the process chain automatically .
So how can i broadcast those two reports automatically by using the process chain on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th of each month .
Please let me know
Regards
Mubeen

You can use RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINT or RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER program for scheduling the broadcast settings.
You can create variants for the broadcast settings using program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER and use ABAP type in process chain for progran and variant.
create a event using SM64 tcode and use this event to schedule the process chain. You can create a small program to trigger this event as per your date requirement. You can use function module BP_EVENT_RAISE in the program for triggering the event.

Information broadcasting - precalculation error for BEx workbooks

Hi,
i have problem with Information broadcasting for BEx workbooks 7.0. At the log display of transaction RSRD_ADMIN i get a red status message with " Cannot precalculate workbook XYZ" -> connection transfer did not succeeded.
At the transaction RSPRECADMIN -> show queue (program: RS_PREC_SHOW_QUEUE) , i see that the request is listed as "successful precalculations" (?!)
Some hints:
-Further tests (2 days ago) were successful for workbooks and query email-bursting
-Precalculation server is switching between green and yellow status every refresh
Do you have any ideas or hints?
Thx in advance
Tobias

Hello,
I would like to suggest you something:
Go to Windows -> Services (Start -> RUN -> Services.msc)
Stop the SAP Precalc. Server
Start the SAP Precal. Server Multi-instance.
ON THE PRECALCULATION SERVER, access your system via SAPGUI and go to RSPRECADMIN.
Then, there is the tip, register 10 times the Precalculation Server with different names.
E.g.
Precalc1
Precalc2
Precalc3
Precalc4
Precalc10
Then, test again.
Cheers,
Edward

Settings for information broadcasting

Hello,
Can someone tell me where I can go and delete information broadcasting settings to stop emailing. I created a few test queries and also scheduled information broadcasting for those queries. Those queries were deleted without deleting information broadcasting settings. Now I need to go in and delete settings for those queries to stop getting emails from them.
Thanks,
Syed.

Information Broadcasting - how to organize

Hi,
We have a requirement for information broadcasting for several reports from several countries. In this context we have to make the decision if we:
a) schedule the reports/precalculation centrally by the BW Team or
b) allow each end-user to schedule the precalculation
As a) has the disadvantage, that for the BW team the scheduling of several reports could result in a lot of maintenance effort, we are thinking about to decentralize this activity and allow the end users to schedule the precalculation. But here we see the risk, that b) is somehow uncontrolled and could lead to performance issues if users from the whole world schedule the precalculation at the same time. A second point is the knowledge exchange.
Can you tell us how you organized / customized information broadcasting in your company. How does the best practice look like. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi
In our company, a general BW account is created with relevant roles for each business, so key users from each business unit can create IBs using these general accounts.
However, only we, business analysts from group IT can schedule the IB which can maintain the control of IB.

Feng

Information Broadcasting - Error in the Workbook

Hi,
We are implementing Information broadcasting for the workbook. It works pretty good as far as running the workbook, scheduling the workbook on a precalc server. When we try to email the workbook we get the email but the file is corrupted. We see the following error on the precalc server log,
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SAP BW Precalcultion Service
Event Category: Devices
Event ID: 608

Description:
E,608,Error in Calculation error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.,Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
When we open the workbook we get a message that the excel is corrupted.
Has anyone had similar problems.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi,
Check the below error in the workbook for reference field of the query.

Error in Information Broadcast

Hi all,
I have created one query in multicube with time variable. The variable is an user-exit type and gets the date of yesterday automatically. I would like to broadcast this report daily. However, the report content cannot update automatically in email while it is correct in web. Please help.
Thanks,
Cherry

Hi,
The report is daily sales report. The report content means the sales figures. The sales figure is extracted according to the time variable. The time variable is an user-exit to get the date of yesterday. When I execute the query in web through Query Designer, the time variable is work. The sales figures can update according to the value of time variable.
Then I tried to set the information broadcast for that query and schedule job periodically, which is same as the steps you mentioned. However, the figures in emails I sent out are the same everyday. The figures cannot update in email based on the time variable.
Please help.

How to show one prompt that works for both Graph and Table views?

Have an analysis with a graph and a table. The information in the table and graph are different so cannot use a pivot table w/graph.
Each view has a view prompt for Year and Month (tried both separately and also as one combined column ‘201001’) so user can easily change months.
Too much data to use the slider because it will not graph.
Page prompt does not allow user to switch dates easily.
Since this will be a link from a dashboard, do not think making this a dashboard from a dashboard would be good so not a dashboard prompt.
Saw something about Master Detail linking, but does not appear to work with graph prompts.
How would the analysis be configured to show one prompt that works for both the Table and the Graph?
One prompt would change both the table and the graph.

Master Detail Linking almost works.
Table view can show all the results without error.
Graph view needs to be limited or errs with "Exceeded configured maximum number of allowed input records."
Is there a way to set the initial Master Detail Linking value to the top sorted value?

Information Broadcasting - need for additional Licensing?

One of the key features that is prompting us to upgrade to BW 3.5 later this year is the Information Broadcasting functionality.
This will allow us to easily push reports directly to our user base rather than the traditional method of manually emailing workbooks. However will this generate a need for additional licences? From the testing we have performed so far in order to broadcast a report the receiving user needs to have an account in BW together with the email in the address book.
We will have a considerable number of users whose only interaction with BW will be to receive a report that has been broadcasted. Does anyone have any experience of this same issue?
any help/advice appreciated.
thanks
Mike

Hello Michael,
One possibility is to create an email alias that is a distribution list of the users that you want to broadcast to. Create a broadcast setting, in step 2 of the broadcaster wizard specify the distribution list. You shouldn't need to create SAP logon IDs for these users.
I hope that this helps.
Cheers,
Scott

Is Precalculation server a prerequisite for Information broadcasting

Hello Everybody,
I wanted to know is installation and configuration of pecalculation server a prerequisite for enabling Information broadcasting feature in BW 3.5 i.e; inorder to send emails to users .I mean inorder to send mails to users is it necessary to install pecalculation server first.
Regards,
Saumya

The Precalculation server is only needed if you want to distribute workbooks. In order to distribute workbooks, the BW needs access to a computer with Excel on it. The precacluation server service software can be installed on a standard desktop PC. It can be installed on mutliple desktops, or you can consider a centralized server, but for initial testing, a desktop will do. There are a number of OSS Notes to apply, several from SP 17 that deal with problems occuring as a result trying to distribute multiple wkbks simultaneoulsy.
You do NOT need it to distribute either query links or html formatted output.
You also need an IGS server if you want to be able to send your output in a zip file format.
Don't have the link handy, but try searching SDN on Precacluation Server - there is a good paper (think it was a How To...) that was just written in April on troubleshooting Precalculation Server issues.

DB type repository manager for information broadcasting?

I read some article which says only FSDB type of repository manager can be used for BI informaiton broadcasting. I want to broadcast to MOSS server, which uses IIS, but stores everything in database. Is there anyway to use DB or WSDL type repository manager for broadcasting?
Thanks
Jane Zhou

Where did you get this information from? Is there any document that states that? Below is the information I got, it says FSDB has to be used:
Can I use information broadcasting to distribute precalculated queries, Web applications, and workbooks to a third-party file server, Web server or document management systems?
Yes. With information broadcasting, you can precalculate queries, Web applications, and workbooks and publish them into the Knowledge Management of the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
In KM, you can easily create a Repository Manager (CM repository with persistence mode FSDB) that is attached to a file system directory (for example, the directory of an Internet Information Server (IIS)). You have to create a link in the KM folder of documents to the folder of the CM Repository attached to the file system or you can define your CM Repository as an entry point in KM. For more information, see SAP Note 827994 (SMP login required).
Information broadcasting can automatically put a new report on the third-party file server (for example, using the data change event in the process chain). KM offers repository managers for many different file servers, Web servers, and document management systems (such as IIS and Documentum):
1.                            Create CM Repository attached to file system.
2.                            Use iView KM Content to create subfolder in file system (optional).
3.                            Set permission to Administrator (optional).
4.                            Create link in /documents to folder of CM Repository attached to file system or define CM Repository as entry point. (See SAP Note 827994.)
5.                            Schedule Broadcasting Settings that export to a linked folder of CM Repository.
Because documents created via Information Broadcasting have additional attributes attached to them which mark them as broadcasted documents, it is not possible to store these kind of documents in a "pure" file system repository because such a repository usually only stores properties like "last changed", "creator", etc. Fortunately, KM provides a mechanism to nevertheless use a file system repository to store the documents. The additional properties will be stored in the database. Details are given here and here.
The "persistence mode" of the repository must be "FSDB" to allow this kind of behavior. Please note that because of the distributed storage of file and additional properties, the property assignment will be lost when moving around the document in the file system using some non-KM tool like windows explorer.

What authorizations for Information Broadcasting are required?

Hello experts, this is a scenario which has recently arisen. We have the BEx Broadcaster properly configured for e-mail broadcasting at least. Users need to be able to use the Broadcaster, in particular the e-mail function for WAD reports. However, we do not know what roles/profiles/transactions must be assigned to them. Whenever users call the broadcaster, the broadcaster wizard popup window opens but displays nothing (sends a "page not found" error). We know it is properly configured since we tested it with a user with profile SAP_ALL and it worked correctly. Since no one has that profile assigned (because of obvious reasons), the Broadcaster cannot be used.
Any suggestions?

Hi, thanks for the links. The users are now able to do information broadcasting. Unfortunately, some users are receiving the following error:
Access Denied
¿What happened?
Call to URL http://myhost:8000/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/Misc/PleaseWait.html was cancelled because logon data is incorrect.
Note:
System login was executed on system BWP No logon data is displayed
¿What can you do?
If you do not have a user ID, contact the system administrator
Error Code: ICF-LE-http-c:500-I:S-T:-C:6-U:-P:-L:7
HTTP 401 Unauthorized
Your computer Internet Communication Framework SAP
As far as I have seen, this error is not affecting the information broadcasting operations (users are, for example, sending and receiving e-mails correctly). However, I know that there could be some functionalities not working due to this and I would like to fix the error.
Any suggestions?

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
Reddy
