Necessary Notes for Information Broadcasting

Hi Gurus, I need some help in finding solution to this issue even my BASIS team wants me to find. Information Broadcasting (IB) can be accessed in 2 ways, from Query Designer and Web (if properly installed, we have additional tab apart from 'Data Analysis', 'Graphical Display', 'Information' and 4th tab is supposed to be 'Information Braodcasting'). We don't use WAD here.
I can access it from Query Designer not from the query 'display on the web' as it doesn't have the additional tab for 'Information Broadcasting'. I am pretty sure that I need to recommend them to install some additional SP and notes. Please advice me on which SP is missing.
This is urgent, so please respond immediately with some good answers.
Thnx.

The Precalc server is only needed if you want to use Information Broacasting to create and distribute Excel workbooks.
You probably want to install this on a separate PC or server, and if you use the IB to generate a lot of Excel wkbks, you may need more than one.
You can install on your BW Team's PCs if you want, but if you intend to let end users Broadcast wkbks, then look at PC(s)/Server(s) under your control. The Precalc Server is a Windows service that runs on teh PC/Server.
More recent SPs (3.5 SP 19 or 20 I think) have delivered the ability for the Precalc server to queue up wkbks, as it only can run one at a time. Prior to the queueing functionality, you could run into problems if mutlitple wkbks were hitting the Precalc at the same time. There is a new RSADMIN entry that lets you specify how large the queue should be, e.g. 10 wkbks, 20, etc.

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.

Data change Event for Information Broadcasting

Hello Forum
This is regarding problem with "Data change Event for Information Broadcasting".
We have integrated the evening in a separate chain which is scheduled after the transaction data load.
In the settings for the event we have mentioned the infoprovider name based on which the reports are to be distributed.
Now, when the process chain is executed it does not distributes any reports though the data is changed in the infoprovider.
However when executed again its distributing it,any ideas what the problem is ?

You need to define the precalculation server and then you have to specifythe webtemplate that determines the content of the email and you have to give the mail id in the distrubution list and then the precalculation is started from the BEx Broadcaster

Sizing Guideline for Sourcing 7.0

Hello,
I have read the Sizing Guideline for Sourcing 7.0 in the Installation Guide. For a small installation (less than 50 concurrent users) SAP is recommending the following:
App Server - Quad Core Processor, 16 GB
DB Server - Quad Core Processor, 16 GB
Having done WAS JAVA sizing for quite sometime, I feel this is on a very higher side. In our implementation we will have max 10 concurrent users. So I feel the following should be good enough
App + DB Server - Dual Core Processor, 8 GB
As per my exp, 1core and 4GB will be for OS and DB, remaining 1core and 4 GB for 1 CE Server Node.
I request all the experienced people please suggest if this will work. If not please share some rational so that I can convince the customer rationally without saying thats minimum recommendation from SAP
Regards,
Jai

Jai,
Optimizer can be on same server as of contract generation, CG use very little memory as its only service used to created document for CLM. but it should be on different server other than E-Sourcing server
E-Sourcing can work without optimizer also, Its is prefered where there are complex bid responses or large no of response are there.

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

Monitoring / Alerts for Information Broadcasting Netweaver 2004

Hello sdn,
we are currently evaluating Information Broadcasting on SAP Netweaver 2004 (BW + Portal) on SPS19.
For a special requirement of a vendor we would like to send him a precalculated Excel Workbook using the precalculation service.
So far so good. Everything works fine.
Now we are wondering, whether there are any special monitoring methods or tools we can use in case an error occured and the mail is not being send.
Of course we could launch transaction scot or sm37 to check the errors, but we would like to go productive with a solution that triggers a mail event or something in case of errors.
Any hints welcome.
Thanx in advance.
Markus

Hi Murali,
thanks for your reply. What we currently found out is that you can check rsrd_log where you can see the chronological steps for your task.
But still we havent found a standard opportunity to be informed automatically in case of an error.
