Alert Types in Reporting Agent (3.5)

Hi all,
can anyone explain me the difference between a SAP alert and a BW alert?
These two alert types can be set up in the Reporting Agent based on exceptions.
Thanks
Gerrit

Reporting Agent - Alert Views & Alert Details repeating twice

Hi All,
I have configured reporting agent settings for a BW Query. The exceptions will be communicated through email. The email has been configured to output Alert Views & Alert Details. However when we recieve the email, the alert views, details as well as the URL is repeating twice. Is there a way to correct this issue. Also URL sometimes is not full, it truncates for some reason. Please advise.
Thanks a ton.

Hi,
Reporting agent is available and can be used in BI 7.0 with running reporting_agent transaction but SAP recommends to use information broadcasting instead reporting agent.
Note that you can only use the Reporting Agent if you are working with queries and Web templates in the SAP BW 3.x format.As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the Reporting Agent functions are covered by Information Broadcasting.

Reporting agent in BW 3.0b- Job log message is-No alert data found

Hi,
I am using reporting agent in BW 3.0b to send and alert email to the user.
There is a query in which I have used one restricted key figure to calculate the exception. I am able to display this in the report. In Bex analyzer I am getting the value.
But When I schedule the package for Reporting agent I am getting in the job log as " No alert data has been found".
I searched sdn before posting and did not get proper solution for this.
Could you please let me know the use of expception in Reporting agent in BW 3.0b. Do I need to write any user exit for this???
Reards,
Raghu

Hi,
You can define threshold values (exceptions) for a query. Data that varies from these thresholds is highlighted in color or marked with icons. You can use these exceptions to identify deviations from expected results at a glance.
Defining and Changing Exceptions
1. In the Exceptions screen area, choose New Exception in the context menu. An entry with the default text Exception <Number> appears and you can edit the description directly.
2.In the context menu, choose Edit. The exception editor appears; it displays the relevant parts for the definition on tab pages.
You can also call the exception editor from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
3.      Make the required settings for the definition of the exception. For more information, see Definition of Exceptions.
4.      Choose OK. You return to the query definition.
5.      Choose Save Query.
Removing Exceptions from Queries
       1.      In the Exceptions screen area, select the relevant exception and choose Remove in the context menu.
       2.      Choose Save Query.
Result
You have defined or changed an exception for a query. Execute the query. The exception is evaluated online. The cell areas that are affected by the exception appear highlighted in the appropriate color or, where applicable, with icons in Web applications.
You can display the exception descriptions and activate or deactivate the exceptions you want.

Alert framework configuration - Bw reporting Agent

Hi,
Anybody tell the transaction code or procedure to do Alert framework configuration in Bw reporting Agent.
Thanks,
Debasish

Hi Debasisha,
The steps for to do Alert Framework configuration
Step1. Give Tcode: ALRTCATDEF
this open " Alert Management Screen", From the alert category definition environment, choose "Settings", and then "Configuration".
Step2. Ensure you are in change mode, by default it in Display mode.
define you alert category, If you want to be able to confirm alerts by SMS or Internet mail, you must enter the user created to receive all incoming mails in the "Inbound Processing" section.
Step3.In the "Status Handling for Mails" section, you can specify which statuses are to be reported. The first setting refers to the system being informed, and the second refers to a status mail being sent to the sender.
Step4. In the Logging section, select "Write Log" only if you want additional information about the actual processing of the alerts. This information is logged using the standard application log and can be viewed in transaction SLG1 (object ALERT).
That's it, Hope it help you.

Reporting Agent : Alert Monitor Preview - Short Dump

Hi All,
I have some questions related to Reporting Agent :
1.) When I am executing the Alert Monitor Preview, it ends with short dump.
2.) Where to do the settings for Email, Printing and Alert settings so as to send the notifications to the user using the different output options as mentioned above.
Please provide solutions.

Hi Richa,
Chech in txn ST22 for your short dump to analyse the root cause of the error.
See this link for integration of BW Reporting with Alert Monitor.

BPMon - Idoc reporting alert types

Hi folks,
I configured a biz process scenario where an ECC system delivers Idoc to a PI system.
I want to trace the average time to process IDocs, so I activated Idoc Reporting alert type. As filters I set to monitor only outbound Idocs, of type ZORDERS (customer type) for today as selected day and monitoring idocs from state 01 to 03.
The very strange thing is that this type of metric seams to compute mesures in an esotic way. In fact, this morning, for example, the monitor told me that for 4 Idocs monitored the average processing time was about 2100 seconds, but checking these idocs in we05 I found the times you can see below:
Idoc n°             init state     final state      delta time (sec)
25491614     02:40:19     02:40:20                1
25472952     02:48:33     02:48:34                1
25468881     04:50:33     04:50:33                0
25490739     05:25:59     05:26:00                1
                                                       0,75     avg time (sec)
so my expectation was to have an average value 0.75 sec and not 2000+.
Anyone of you as faced this kind of issue?
many thanks
BR
Roberto

Hi all,
I solved the issue, in fact, referring to the idocs times I reported, Idoc n° 3 wasn't in my final state = to 03 but in state 26. So this means that solman takes as starting time 04:50:33 and, as final time, the instant at the moment of measure. So if solman measure idoc data at 05:30:33 as happened, delta time for idoc 3 is 2400 secs.
To solve it, I set parameter status message number = to 083 into my idoc filter, in such a way solman consider only idoc with final state 03 and that message numer.
cheers

Recipient List in Reporting agent Disappearing

Hi,
We are in BW 3.5 SP5. I created a Reporting agent alert and wanted to send E-mail to the Recipients. The Recipient list is disappearing. It is not keeping the List.
Have any one experienced the same problem?
Thanks,
Trinadha

Dear Rasim,
thanks for your reply. I've already had a look at page you suggest and it sounds quite confusing to me.
In "Recipient Type Recipient List" paragraph I read that one can send messagge to internet address or sap logon name and 'When using the SAP Business Workplace, additional recipient types are available'. So it seems one cannot use share distribution list for sending mail (even thought we can't send SAP Office messagge from reporting agent using it).
Is that right?
In "Recipient Type Role" paragraph it seems possible to send message using role as to identify Users; but what kind of message is it talking about? I can olny send Sap Office messagge, not mail.
Had you experienced it?
bye. Laura

Reporting agent functions

can any body xplain how to schedule tasks thru "reporting agent". pls xplain in detailed steps.

Hi,
The functions of the reporting agent are triggered by Information Broadcasting.
The Reporting Agent was not developed any further. It was removed from the current version of the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can now only reach the Reporting Agent using transaction code REPORTING_AGENT.
Effects on the Dataset
A migration of Reporting Agent settings and Reporting Agent packages by broadcast settings is not planned.
No more new developments are being made for the Reporting Agent. The Reporting Agent functions are now covered by Information Broadcasting, SAP NetWeaver Portal and the Alert Framework. The Reporting Agent has been removed from the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can still maintain the Reporting Agent settings using the REPORTING_AGENT transaction. These settings can be maintained for queries and Web templates from SAP BW 3.x only.
General Practices with Migration
The system does not support the migration of Reporting Agent settings for information broadcasting.
The Reporting Agent is a tool used to schedule reporting functions in the background.
The following functions are available:
·        Evaluating exceptions
·        Printing queries
·        Pre-calculating Web templates
·        Pre-calculating characteristic variables of type pre-calculated value sets
·        Pre-calculation of queries for Crystal reports
·        Managing bookmarks
Note that you can only use the Reporting Agent if you are working with queries and Web templates in the SAP BW 3.x format.
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, the Reporting Agent functions are covered by Information Broadcasting. We recommend that you use Information Broadcasting instead of the Reporting Agent.
For more information, see Information Broadcasting.
Use
       1.      You make settings for the specified reporting functions.
       2.      You assign the individual settings to scheduling packages for background processing.
       3.      You schedule scheduling packages as a job or within a process chain.
The last two points do not apply to managing bookmarks.
Structure
The Reporting Agent interfaces are made up of two tree structures in the functional areas Exceptions, Print, Web Templates, and Value Sets.
·         The left-hand tree gives you an overview of the available objects as well as the settings that have already been made. To give you a better overview, you can filter according to queries with settings in the Exceptions and Print functions.
·         The right-hand tree gives you an overview of the scheduling package and manages the background processing.
In the Bookmarks functional area, the Reporting Agent scheduler interfaces are made up of a single tree structure.
Integration
The following graphic gives an overview of the different functional areas for the Report Agent and its integration:
See also:
Defining Exceptions Settings and Exception Reporting
Defining the Print Setting
Defining the Web Template Setting
Defining the Value Set Setting
Defining Crystal Reports Query Settings
Managing Bookmarks
You have defined and actively saved one or more Reporting Agent settings.
You have created one or more scheduling packages.
Procedure
Select the setting that you want to schedule in the left Reporting Agent Settings tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler.
Use drag and drop to assign the setting to the corresponding scheduling package in the right-hand tree.
If the selected Reporting Agent setting from the Exceptions or Print function areas relates to a query with variables, you must select a variant of the query so that the scheduling package can be scheduled.
You are in the view Change in the right-hand tree of the Reporting Agent Scheduler. From the scheduling package context menu, choose Assign Variants The Variant Catalog. dialog window appears.
Select the variant you want and choose Select. The system adds the selected variants in the right tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler in the Variant column.
If you want to create a new variant for the required query or if you want to change variants already created, you have the option to process the variants in both the left and right-hand tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler.
Select Maintain Variants via the context menu of the Reporting Agent setting. You the see a screen on which you can process the variants for the selected query ( Create, Display, Change).
Select the required variants as described above.
Choose Next.
You use this function to monitor and change the time and date settings on the mobile device.
Prerequisites
     You have assigned the mobile device to a particular time zone.
     The synchronization service has been configured.
Features
You have the following options:
Parameters for TIME_AGENT
Parameters
Description
Possible Values
AGENT_MODE
Activate or deactivate monitoring
ON, OFF
AGENT_HISTORY
Activate and deactivate the log function for the time and date setting
TRUE, FALSE
AGENT_HISTORY_INTERVAL
Define intervals for logging (in minutes)
AGENT_REPORT_ON_FIRST_CYCLE
Or AGENT_REPORT_ON_SECOND_CYCLE
Define synchronization cycle for sending data if the device is used by multiple users.
Set at least one of the parameters.
TRUE, FALSE
AGENT_TRIGGER_ON_SYNC_COUNT
Or
Define the number of synchronization cycles run before data is sent to server
Any integer
0 Never
1 With every synchronization
2 With every second synchronization
AGENT_TRIGGER_ON_SYNC_INTERVAL
and AGENT_TRIGGER_ON_SYNC_INTERVALTYPE
Determine the intervals (type and interval) with which the data is sent to server
Interval type:
M Minutes
H Hours
D Days
Interval:
Any integer
0 Never
1 In intervals of one minute, one hour, one day.
Activities
You define the values for the parameters in a parameter set (see Defining the Parameter Sets). Use the TIME_AGENT type to monitor the time and date settings.

Follow Up Actions - Reporting Agent

Hi BW Gurus,
I would like to know what are following up action is available in Reporting Agent
Thank You

Hi Luis,
There are 4 steps.
1) Send Mail- alerts user by e-mail; for example you can send e-mail saying sales qty target were missed
2) Alert Monitor entry - view results in the alert monitor; you can also give an URL for the alert monitor
3) Export - Send Data to a work flow for follow up action
4) RRI Interface - if an exception happens you can jump to another query for a more detailed display using Go To option

Output from Reporting Agent in BW is inconsistent

Hi,
I have created a scheduled package of print type in reporting aget. The job runs successfully but once I check the spool in SM37, the output is not corrrect.
First it writes only characteristics and then below that it writes key figures. Both Char and Key Figures do not come in one line.
Not sure where have I gone in creating this scheduling package in reporting agent.
Any help is most welcome.
Thanks in Advance.

Error in reporting agent

I get a strange error while opening a reporting agent setting.
When i navigate upto the Multiprovider to go to a particular query in reporting agent setting I recv an error
Which says
Error in a Table parameter in the Tree model.
Class - CL_COLUMN_TREE_MODEL
Methid - ADD_NODES
Table name - NODE_KEY_TABLE
Errors - Node key alreadey exists
Node Key - Q_I_2_2_2__....
Then I get a ABAP Runtime Error:
Runtime Errors         MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN
Date and Time          16.12.2009 19:28:40
Short text
Message type " " is unknown.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_RSRA_GUI_COMPONENT_TREE====CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
Only message types A, E, I, W, S, and X are allowed.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
     find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
     If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
     keywords:
"MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN" " "
"CL_RSRA_GUI_COMPONENT_TREE====CP" or "CL_RSRA_GUI_COMPONENT_TREE====CM001"
     "ADD_OBJECTS"
Please help.

I am working on setup on Exceptions in the reporting agent. I want to do both email alerts as well as alert monitor alerts.

Thank you.
