Offline Distribution

Hi BPC Gurus,
           I have created input schedule and protected it. Next I wanted it to have offline distributed. For this I have configured all its requirement but when I am clicking on the button for distribute now in the next frame it gives the message that "http:servername/appset/....... report is not available." This message appears even for mail and as well with the store in local folder. What could be wrong? And one more important thing while creating Distribution list it validated and saved the template also.
Regards
KumarMG

In regular implementation situations,  you can provide your reportng templates (both Report/input Schedule) to user community to enter data offline(using Distribution List) and at later point you can collect them and load to data base. This gives you performance enhancements as all users don't try to save the data at the same time and the problem of lock will be reduced.
Hope you are clear by now.
Thanks,
Sonti.

  • Offline Distribution WIzard - Custom Formatting of Body of Email Possible?

    The body of the email in the Offline Distribution Wizard is just Plain Text. Is there anyway to change some settings to use HTML or some nice formatting in the Body of the email via the Offline Distribution Wizard?

    Hi Martin,
    you just need this task
    Task
    Can be assigned to
    Description
    ManageDistributor
    Only primary administrator (default)
    This user or team can use the Offline Distributor.
    to be in the distribution list and recive mail you don't need other than a valid email.
    Try with a minimum distribution list (single user) where you are sure that the email is right and see if it works.
    fore more info concerning the distribution list please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/2f/7485da629644c5a831224d4b970881/content.htm

  • Does offline distribution happens to leave sent items in mailbox?

    Hi experts,
    After using offline distribution wizards (assuming the email distribution was successful) to where the sent items located? I mean, i can't find the sent email to my sent item folder. Since i can't find it i can't recall the email if i have to. I'm just wondering if the system produces an sent email item or not.
    Thanks as always,

    I'm assuming you set up the gmail account on the iPod using the special gmail configuration (when you first set up a new account, one of the choices for the type of account is gmail).
    I had to reset my gmail account last night, deleting it and redefining it (for reasons other than your issue) and by default, I get "inbox", "drafts" "Sent Mail", and "Trash". You might try deleting your account on iPod and redefining it - it's quick and doesn't affect your email status.

  • BPC75NW: Offline Distribution of reports does not work in Schedule mode

    Hello BPC experts,
    I'm new in SAP world.
    I have the following problem.
    In BPC 7.50.06 NW I'm trying to adjust the distribution on e-mail to schedule.
    I set up Distribution List. When I start the Offline Distribution Wizard -> Distribute Now all works without problems.
    The problem starts when I start the Offline Distribution Wizard in the Schedule mode. All the settings I do the same as at "Distribute Now".
    Then I set the report should be sent daily, starting with 13.10.2011, indicating the Start Time. As a System password I'm pointing my domain password (I  know no other passwords).
    At the time specified in the Start Time nothing happens, i.e. the schedule does not work.
    Tell me, please, if faced with a similar problem, how it can be solved?
    Thank you for your help, this is greatly appreciated.

    Moved to .NET SDK forum.
    Search here, lots of post on IIS and setting Printer Access Permissions for your application.
    Also search MSDN on what is required to for IIS to access local Printers.
    Also search for ActiveX Controls and Browser permissions, you'll likely have problems there also since most Browsers will not or do not recommend allowing any ActiveX control.

  • Offline distribution email setup

    Hi,
    I'm generating offline templates through the 'Offline distribution wizard' saving the templates to a folder and then emailing them out one by one. [BPC7 (MS)]
    I've tried using the 'Lockdown and Send mail' option in the 'Offline distribution wizard' but I get the error: "Error downloading email setup from server".. How do I setup the email on the server?
    Thanks!
    Mez

    Dear Meznert,
    You should have the account email first and make sure that account can sent email to other user account. After that, you should set the SAP BPC through BPC Administration Web and choose the menu "Set Appset Parameters". For more information how to set the SMTP in SAP BPC please you read the help.

  • Offline Distribution Wizard

    Hi!
    We have problem with the "Distribute and Collect Offline Data" function.
    All the  parameters SMTPAUTH, SMTPPASSWORD, SMTPPORT, SMTPSERVER and
    SMTPUSER are all set and works fine (E-mail notification function is
    working)
    But something doesn´t work when we try to distribute reports via
    Offline Distribution Wizard. We have entered an E-mail adress
    (xxx.yyy) in the VARYKEYS section in the Distrubutionlist
    but when run the Offline Distribution Wizard we can see that it is
    trying to send the E-mail to bpc.media.lanxxx.yyy and that doesn´t work.
    "bpc.media.lan" is the name of our BPC server so why is that used in
    the E-mail adress in the Offline Distribution Wizard?
    Regards
    Fredrik

    Hi,
    After several test, the offline distribution features work at last.
    :Assuming the email notification in admin console and email notification in BPF are working just fine.**
    In VARKEYS under userID try to use the values that can be found in the owner property of your driver dimension
    for example under entity dimension:
    ID                   OWNER                   REVIEWER
    XXXX            abc.com\user1        abc.com\manager1
    in your distribution list under VARKEYS
    !VARKEYS
    ENTITY         USERID
    XXXX           abc.com\user1
    by doing so, it will use your smpt server and not the webserver.
    Hope this helps.

  • Schedule Offline Distribution Wizard

  • Offline Distribution Scheduler

    Hi,
    The Shedule Offline Distribution List from ePublish menu, doesnu2019t seems to work. I tried several times to schedule a distribution but nothing happens and I didnu2019t find a place to trace the schedules I have created, like in the Data Manager option.
    Does anyone know how this work?
    Thanks!

    If you run the offline distribution with "distribute now" instead of scheduling, does the process complete successfully?
    Keep in mind that the scheduled task is created on the client machine where you're running Excel, and the task also needs to execute at run-time, on that same machine. (It doesn't run on the server itself, unless you're RDP'ing to the server, logging into BPC for Excel from the server, and scheduling the task there.) So that means, don't schedule your task on your laptop that won't be connected to the network at 3 am, when the task is scheduled.
    Do you have other Windows Scheduled Tasks working successfully? The BPC tasks sit on top of that same Windows interface. If you look at the scheduled tasks in Windows, you should see the BPC tasks there. (I know this is true for data manager tasks, but I'm not certain if ePublish -- offline distribution works the same way. I think it does.)
    I noticed on a recent install of Win Server 2003, there was a service I needed to turn on to allow scheduled tasks. I'd never needed to do that before, but maybe the latest security updates from MS have disabled this on your OS. Make sure you have that running.

  • Schedule Offline Distribution

    Hello BPC experts,
    I am trying to schedule an offline distribution list. I could successfully  create the list and it works fine when I press "distibute now". But when I choose "schedule" instead it doesn't.
    In the schedule tab one has to provide the system password. I guess this is the adminsitrator password but I am not sure. Later on after clicking on "process" one has to provide logon information again. I failed to provide correct information, it always says "invalid credentials". Could someone please clarify what logon information is required here?
    The generated windows schedule entry is C:\PROGRA1\SAPBUS1\PC_MS\PublishBatch.exe EYBL_PLANNING_Off.XML
    I guess there is some logon information missing. The batch starts but nothing happens. The XML file looks ok to me.
    Best regards,
    Florian

  • Offline Distribution naming of reports

    Hi All,
    When using distribution in BPC the naming of the distributed reports is done by settings in the Distribution List.
    Standard the following report-name is created:
    User ID)VARYKEYS)Description.xls - for example vbeumer)C0001)BALANCE.xls
    Is there a way to adjust this output?
    We need the files to be like this:
    Description-VARYKEYS - For Example BALANCE-C0001.xls
    Hope you can advice.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    as far as I know you get a development licence for the CR runtime (eg. together with Visual Studio or Eclipse) but when you rollout your code then you have to acquire viewing licences for your end-users. I would suggest to contact your local SAP Sales representative for this.
    You can get some information on the BOBJ Server here: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/enterprise]

  • Offline Distribution password problem

    Hi,
    We are using 5.1 SP2 (with Patch 1) and have created an input schedule to be used offline.
    The problem we are facing is that whenever we use Workbook options (under eTools) to set a password and then try to generate a list of reports based on our entity dimension all of the reports remain unchanged with functions such as EVDES being seen in the offline schedule as EVDES rather than EV_DES which of course returns an error when opened without BPC for Excel.  Once we remove the password the process works and the functions are then changed to their offline versions (such as EV_DES) but of course this schedule is no longer protected.
    Has anyone come across this before and if so how did you resolve it? ... any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kind Regards,
    Jonathan

    I have not seen this before.  I'd suggest the following: Go into appshell and create and input schedule from one of the template wizards.  Set the password protection in eTools and then run it throught the off-line distributor.  If you get the same results there, then you've hit a bug and should open a ticket with Global Support.  If you cannot reproduce it there, then it's something specifc to you input.
    Another thing you could try if you are using a complex password (e.g. letters, numbers, and special characters) is try a simple one (e.g. test) and see if that works.
