Information broadcasting in CSV format. Unwanted Headers

Hi,
I have setup the Information Broadcaster to mail CSV formats of BEx Queries. It is working perfectly , however it also gives me the Query name and Date and Time Stamp when the Data was last updated. How can I get rid of these unwanted information.
e.g
Sales Query
Last Data Update:

Please help me out if anybody has faced and resolved this issue.

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.

Information Broadcasting - HTML Only formatting features when opened

I run the query and broadcast the report as HTML in ZIP file.
When I double click on the HTML, it opened up showing text texting codes.
I cannot see the report at all.
Has anyone faces the same problem?
I am expecting a report on the HTML page.

Hi Colin,
Try to send directly without ZIP format. It may be because of the Zipping, you HTML report has been changed.

Information Broadcasting in SAP BI 7.3

Hi All,
We have a requirement to send a report to few recipients through Information Broadcasting in .CSV file. When I entered Info Broadcast setting through BEx analyzer, I am not able to find the option to send the file in .CSV format. I could only see MHTML, HTML and Links to current data. Could you please help me out in solving this?
We are on SAP BI 7.3

Hello,
Unfortunately it is only possible to broadcast with the output format CSV with a query or query view. That is by design.

Information Broadcasting in MS Excel Format to the users

Hi All,
I am trying to use information broadcasting and send reports in an MS Excel Format to the users.
But could not find any options in SAP 3.5 to send Output in MSExcel to the users..
I read in the SAP Docs that we can send the Excel output in XML format and also WorkBooks...do we require any additional third party Softwares or uograde patches to achieve this?
Please share your experiences on the Above in SAP 3.5.

Information Broadcasting direct email delivery of CSV files?

Hello,
Is there any way to configure Information Broadcasting in BW 3.5/Netweaver 04 such that email delivery of CSV files is possible? I see that the pre-calculation server will generate workbooks. Though, we really need delivery direct to CSV.
Alternatively, has any one come up with a process of delivering Bex web links with a template that can generate CSV? I saw this second option come up in a previous topic, but I am not sure how this would work.
Regards,
Joel

Broadcast Bex queries in CSV format

Hi,
Is there a way to broadcast Bex queries in "CSV" format? Please do not confuse this with the "Export to CSV" option. I need to be able to set up the job periodically to send the reports in CSV format. Any ideas...

Hi Tanu,
You can do it by using RSCRM_BAPI tcode. Please see below thread for details.

Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit - Collect SYSSTAT type of information in CSV format

As part of performance monitoring and analysis collecting performance data is crucial. Even though historical data could be collected with other monitoring tools we are often using SYSSTAT command to collect such data during short period of time of specific activity to analyze performance of NetApp array. Raw output of SYSSTAT command is useful but in some cases it needs to be presented in more visual form such graphs and charts. Producing Comma-Separated-Values file from SYSSTAT command output is long and painful process.
Working with customer on performance analysis made me to develop PowerShell script which can capture such data in CSV format, so that data can be processed much faster and presented to customer in nice graphical format.
Script Get-NaSysStat.ps1 uses Get-NaPerfCounter and Get-NaPerfData commandlets to extract performance data of NetApp array and store them into CSV file. Script uses next parameters:
NaIP : IP address or Name of the Filer
NaUS : Filer User Name. Default Value - root
NaPW : Filer User's Password. Default Value - password.
Output : Display/<File Name or Path>. Default Value - Display
Interval : Interval in minutes between samples. Default Value - 5 min.
Iterations : Number of sample iterations.
 Default Value - 0, for no limit.
 Execution can be ended by pressing Ctrl-C
Example of calling script and screen output:
PS C:\@work\Scripts> .\Get-NaSysStat.ps1 -NaIP 10.58.97.11 -NaUS root -NaPW <password> -Output Perf.csv -Interval 1

Send Query Results to Application server in CSV format

HI All,
I need to schedule a query on a regular basis and send the results to Apllication server in csv format(rows will be more than 65,000).
I tried RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i think it has lot of restrictions like, cannot use texts, calculated keyfigures, etc. so cannot use this.
cannot use Infospoke since there are calculated keyfigures in the query.
Information Broadcasting is not setup in my system
Tried WRITEQUERY but it only send the results to Spool, special handling is needed to move the data from spool to Appl. server.
is there any other way i can achive this, is it even possible?
Thanks,
S.B.

I dont know if this helps.
1)You can save the file as a normal CSV file on your desktop.
2) and Based on the ABAP code using ( OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET statements) You can put your file into the application server
but i am not sure if you can use this methodilogy for an automated and continous process

there is a requirement to schedule the report results to be saved in Excel or .CSV format and the file to be stored at a server location.
Could anyone please advise how we can achieve this if its possible at all?

This is possible using BEx Information Broadcasting.
After Opening the Query in Query Designer, Click on Query -> Publish -> BEx Broadcaster.

Hi,
I too am facing the same problem.
The report was made in 8.5. I have exported the report & opened it in Crystal report 12.
I can export to PDF, RTF, DOC & Tab separated Test.
However when I export this report in .csv (legacy mode) I just get the header & when I export it in .csv (Standard) I get a blanck .csv file.
I have checked 'Isolate Report/Page sections' and 'Isolate Group sections'. Still no data in the report.
refreshed it too.
I contains sub reports, but not in the page header & footer (I think) & it does not seem to have cross tabs & OLAP grids.
Any help is appreciated.

Can Sentinel RD reports be in CSV format instead of PDF

Hi,
I am working with Sentinel RD and generating custom reports using
iReport. I was wondering if I can generate a custom report where the
output is in CSV format instead of PDF and can be scheduled in the same
way as the PDF are.
What do I need to do to achieve this?

Here is how to output report results in CSV format in SLM 1.1 (or
later):
STEP 1: Go to the $ESEC_CONFIG_HOME directory on your SLM server (It
will be something like: /etc/opt/novell/sentinel_log_mgr/config).
STEP 2: Open the file
"obj-component.JasperReportingComponent.properties" for editing.
STEP 3: Specify the following fields/values in that properties file:
reporting.csv.enable=true
reporting.csv.email=true
reporting.csv.outputdir=/opt/mycsvreportresults
STEP 4: Save the file.
STEP 5: I *think* you have to restart the SLM server after making
changes to any of these properties.
Some things to take note of:
NOTE 1: You can specify any directory (that the novell user has
permission to write to) in the "reporting.csv.outputdir" setting. This
will cause a .csv file to be created in that directory whenever a report
is run.
NOTE 2: If you set the "reporting.csv.email" setting to true, the .csv
report results will be included with any report results that are
emailed.
NOTE 3: The CSV results will include all of the report information in
the the .csv... including the header information any output from any
subreports. That additional information may not always be desireable in
the CSV results, so if you find the format of the .csv to not be what
you need or too difficult to work with, you might want to consider
creating a new report where there results/output are more optimized for
.csv output (may without any header or subreport information).
NOTE 4: Regardless of whether csv output is enabled or not, the
standard PDFs results will always be generated.
NOTE 5: The CSV results are not accessible through the GUI, but instead
are accessible by looking in the directory you specify via the
"reporting.csv.outputdir" property ... or via any report result emails
if the "reporting.csv.email" property is set to true.
NOTE 6: Just FYI: That "reporting.pdf.outputdir" property that you will
also see in the "obj-component.JasperReportingComponent.properties" file
is if you want to have the PDF results to be placed in a directory on
the server. (PDF results will always be accessible via the GUI
regardless of this setting.)
