Information broadcasting report output

Hi,
We are receiving some reports via Information broadcaster. But in those reports when we are opening we can not see navigational block and pre selection criteria.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
Any urgent help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Kiran

If you try the option Online link to current data then you can get the display similar to the query output where you can see the Pre selection criteria and the navigational block

How to stop the information broadcasting mail if the output of the query is

Hi everyone, We have a requirement to not to send the information broadcasting mail in case if the query output is blank (ie no applicable data). However as per the schedule the mail should go in case if there is applicable data. In other words, users are not interested in opening the broadcasted mail to see if there is any applicable data or not. Inputs will be certainly rewarded

Hello,
Create an exception or condition for this report then use the "broadcast according to exceptions" option.

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.

rsrvariant-SIGN = sign_01.
rsrvariant-OPT = opt_01.
rsrvariant-LOW = low_01.
rsrvariant-HIGH = high_01.
elseif rsrvariant-vnam = vname.
rsrvariant-SIGN = sign_01.
rsrvariant-OPT = opt_01.
rsrvariant-LOW = low_01.
rsrvariant-HIGH = high_01.
endif.
update rsrvariant.
if sy-subrc 0. insert rsrvariant. endif.
endselect.
RSRVARIANT-VNAM must be your month variable.
RSRVARIANT-LOW and HIGH must be your automatic month like sy-datum(6)

Information Broadcast / Sending reports automated

Hello,
I have the following task:
we should send reports to non-bw users.
For each recipient should be set a personlized variable (like customer no). So he only get the report with his company code.
There should be possibility to implement this automated?
In Information Broadcast I have to type in every mail adress and assign the right report.
We would need a solution where the variable (eg. company code) is filled automatically, saving the report under a title starting with the company code and then send the report via mail to the correct partner.
As the mail adresses are all in R/3 in the customer datas. It should not be a problem to load them to BW.
Thank you for your help.
Franz

Hi!
I think it is hard to implement a scenario of sending automatically to BP's when they dont have a userid in BW.
Problem is that we can makes settings in broadcaseter either manually or by creating a Variant of report automatically for each userid. I think atleast in BW3.5 it is not possible to automate this.
When we contacted sap regarding the simmilar problem,we were informed that it'S not possible. they suggested us to have atleast background user for each BP. this was about an year ago..so i dont know if there is a solution now.

How to broadcast reports in pdf format

Hello Experts,
I am running reports on the web and I need to broadcast report via email in the pdf format. I do not see the option of pdf at all in the braodcasting tabl. Here's what I am doing. I right click on the report and click Broadcast -and Export > Broadcast E-mail -> Information Broadcasting tab -> Settings query -> choose the query i want to broadcast -> select the option broadcast e-mail and when I select the output format , it only shows me MHTML, HTML and Online Link to Current Data. But it does not show me the pdf option. We do have the free pdf connected to the sap server. Please let me know what I should do to get it in the pdf format.
Thanks
Sruthi

Hello,
There are two possible reasons for this issue:
1st:
You are using the old BExBroadcaster.
ONLY BExBroadcaster 7.0 is able to broadcast on PDF format.
2nd:
If you are already using BExBroadcaster 7.0, the PDF output format is suppressed.
You can manage this on the following table:
> RSRD_OUTFORM
Check this table and remove the FLAG 'x' on SUPRESS column of PDF OUTFORM.

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
Thanks.

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

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!

Issue with Information Broadcasting...urgent

I try to dispatch a query through Information Broadcasting with the Distribution type chosen as "send as e-mail" and output format as HTML.
I am receiving the mail with three attachments,
1.0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING_00001.htm.HTM
2.BWReports_ie5.css.CSS
3.pixel.gif.GIF
Upon saving all the files in a folder and opening the HTML,it appears without the stylesheet properties and the images.
My requirement is I need to get the report embedded in my mail.Any clue how to acheive this and should I change any settings.Also any idea as to why the images are not displayed in the HTML.Any kind of help will be appreciated as it is very urgent.
Thanks,
Akhila.

In the Broadcast setting, output format select Independent HTML file and you will receive only one file.
I guess your current setting is set to HTML with seperate MIME files.

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.
Thanks,
Mike.

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- Excel

Hi All,
Our business is divided into 50 Regions. For every region there is a Regional Manager.
There is a query which will take 0Calmonth & Region as inputs and gives the Sales Across the regions.
every month on 1st we have to manually enter the values and save 50 workbooks according to region & sen them to the corresponding Managers.
What is the best way to do this using Information broadcasting.
Online links are not Accepted for the Managers . So we have to send them the Output report only.
Please Help me regarding this.

Hi,
I think there are two ways of doing this.
1. Authorization. - If you create authorization object for sales org and assign each of the 50 managers their corresponding sales org and in the query use a filter for calmonth which is calculated using SAP exit and it wouldreturn the currnt fiscal year period and then you could offset it by -1 to get the previous fiscal year period.
In the broadcast setting mention user specific and the authorization for sales org will ensure that only dataset authorized for a manager will be sent to him.
You can have all 50 manager assigned to one role and then assign the role as recepients , so that the workbook gets broadcasted to 50 manager at the monthend for the previous month.
2. Bursting. In this cast you would have to modify your data model so that the region object has the attribute user name or mail id and then if region is being used in the provider , data from the provider for the authorized region is sent to the user.
Here the limitation is you cannot have more than one manager assigned to the same region.
If you have the attribute of region as email id and maintain distribution groups in the mail server then you could have multiple managers for a region . (have not tested this)
I think 1 st option is beeter.
Regards,
sunmit.
