Auditing for scheduling WebI documents

We'd like to audit the scheduling of WebI documents. Which auditing option do we enable so that we can tell when a scheduled document was successful?
We're using XI 3.1.
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Ashwini,
That's what I thought, but we tried it and it's not working. That is, after we enabled auditing "Scheduling Succeeded," I scheduled a job. The audit data showed an action of "Document Refreshed" but not "Scheduling Succeeded."
Anybody have an ideas about why it's not working?
Thanks,
Laura

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once.
The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:

Schedule webi document to printer and save the output in shared drive

Hi all,
Is it possible to schedule a webi document via java BOE SDK, run at once, save the output in pdf format in a shared drive and at the same time, send the output to printer? Or I need to run the webi document to run 2 times? Thanks.
Best regards,
Grace

Hi Adam,
How about can I schedule a webi document to printer only? In Crystal report, I can do this but seems for webi, no such function?
Best regards,
Grace

Third Party Tool for Scheduling Web Analysis reports

Hello,
I am using Hyperion Web Analysis for report development and Workspace for viewing reports.
Now, I am facing an issue for scheduling WA reports through Workspace. Few experts told to me, we can't schedule a web Analysis document in workspace. But, scheduling is my urgent and important requirement.
Can anybody suggest me how can i go for scheduling?
Whether i need to go for third party scheduling tool? If yes, Then which one?
Thanks

WA is for online report only and does not support report delivery and scheduling. Convert your WA reports to IR. Since 9.3.1 IR connectivity to Essbase has been improved (see CubeQuery).

Can Tivoli (TWS) be used for scheduling WebI reports in BO XI 3.1?

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to schedule WebI reports to refresh using TWS?
We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2 deployed on unix and would like to use TWS to refresh WebI reports that are built on SAP BW Bex queries. Does anyone have any experience scheduling WebI reports using TWS with XI 3.1? Any information you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek

Hi
I can think of two options:
1) You define in BO CMC external events and schedule your reports to wait for them. In the TWS you can schedule an OS script to create the file that triggers the BO external event. The reports will run only after the file is created.
2) You write a java program that uses the BOBJ SDK in order to schedule immediately your reports. In the TWS you create a scedule that starts the java program. (You can find examples how to use the SDK here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples )

Preparing photos for PDF Web Documents

Hi,
I am a newcomer to InDesign but use Photoshop.
If I put together an InDesign (CS3) document for a company website,and this document is to be viewed online or be available for download, should I prepare the images at 300 dpi / ppi or 72? I am concerned about the image quality when people download the brochure and print them off. Should one be at 72 (or higher) for viewing online and another at 300 if for download?
I've tried to research this but only seem to find answers for sending photos via email (Save for Web etc) and can't dind anything specific to preparing InDesign documents for use on the web.
Appreciate your help.
Philby

Resolution doesn't exist on the web, only pixel dimensions, so the quality of the image doesn't change when you change the resolution.
In print, however, you are working with physical dimensions into which you must fit the pixels. Higher resolutions (i.e. more pixels fit into the space) tend to look better. Keep in mind that the "effective resolution," that is the scaled value at the print dimensions, is the only one that counts. Captured size and resolution are meaningful only in as much as they allow you to calculate the limits to which you can scale without serious degradation. Up-sampling in Photoshop almost never works.
The rule of thumb is that effective resolution should be twice the half-tone line screen of the output. Since 150 LPI is a very standard screen for offset litho on coated stock you get the de facto 300 PPI standard, but the truth is that required resolution is highly dependent on printing method and intended viewing distance, and two times line screen is just a guideline to insure enough data -- not a minimum -- and as little as 1.4 times will often give satisfactory results, particularly on a device which uses FM screening rather than a conventional halftone dot, like a desktop inkjet printer.
My rule of thumb for desktop devices is 200 ppi is nice, 180 ppi is adequate, and as low as 100 ppi will probably work, though it won't look like fine art.
I do a few jobs that have both web and printed versions. I used to do two PDFs for the web -- a screen-only version and a "printable" version -- but over time I've found that even the version intended for viewing only (downsampled to 75 ppi during export) prints on desktop devices at a quality the average user wouldn't distinguish from the printable version at 150 ppi downsampling.

Multiple email notification for scheduled web intelligence jobs

Hi,
Webi job failed email notification for daily scheduled jobs, email count goes more than 2000.
Operating System Details:
Windows 2008 R2
SAP Business Objects Details:
SAP BO 4.0 SP6
Database Details:
CMS DB Oracle 11.2.1.0
Issue description:
On daily basis 100 jobs are scheduled using event file. All 100 jobs start after BW data load completion.
Below is the process for webi job schedule start.
1) BW job complete
2) Event file update on shared location
3) Webi job scheduling starts.
Till april 1st week all 100 jobs were scheduled succesfully and we recieved 101 notification, 1 extra mail for event file notification.
But from last week we recieved more than 2000 mail and on subsequent retry all jobs were scheduled succesfully.
We check the CUID in query builder, but only data for 16 jobs was available, and in instance manager we got 300 failed instances of 16 jobs, but those jobs were executed successfully after multiple reattempt.
Below is the error mentioned in instance manger for all 300 instances:
"Object could not be scheduled within the specified time interval".
Note : Due to unavailablity of trace log, we cannot enable the trace log in enviornment.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for reply.
I have read the KB#144881- Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change.
Though this issue arrived after daylight saving, i have few more points to describe:
1. Issue arrives only on Monday, not on every day.
2. Day light saving was on 29th March, after that at the very first Monday on 30th March issue was not there, however after that issue arrives every Monday, i.e. 6th & 13th of April.
Is there any SAP notes for SAP-BO 4.0 SP 6 on this.

Vizit

Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

Hi,
Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.

Hi Christopher,
Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

Data Tracking with Scheduled Webis

Using XI R3
Is this a true statement: "Data tracking will not work with scheduled webi documents or webi documents in scheduled publications because the scheduling process does not 'save' a document that it can then use as a reference for the next iteration"?
If I refresh the documents manually daily with tracking on and save them, then schedule the publication after that with the 'refresh on open' property turned off in the publication, that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.
My publication, by the way, produces pdf versions of the webis distributed vai email.
This requirement to manually run the webi documents every day really defeats the whole advantage of scheduling.

Hi Stephen.
Lets understand why data tracking requires a "save report".
When data tracking is enabled. current version of report output is compared with immediate previous version of report output. Also data tracking requires report to run and saved as HTML format. It does not work in PDF format.
In case of scheduled report, it will not work as report instance is not saved. However if you enable "Automatic Data Tracking" it seems to be possible.
I would suggest reading "Data tracking modes" Part from webi user guide. You shall get all your ans.

Schedule Webi report using RESTful API

We are using BO 4.0 (SP2) and looking to schedule reports using our intranet application. I have searched for APIs avaialble and was able to find RESTful API for SP4 but not SP2. How can we do it in BI 4.0, SP2?
Quick help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once. The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
BUT, its broken if you want to schedule a weekly report (Calendar Date) with prompts in BI 4.1 and SDK has been deprecated.

Webi Document Scheduling through RESTful

I've been trying to Schedule a Webi Document using RESTful through Python, I found useful blogs in this forum,
So far I managed to pass a predefined set of parameter, but I'm trying to get the webi report Prompts at run time and ask for the user to enter the prompts and then pass those to the report and execute it.
I was able to isolate the prompts from the Parameters but need some assistance in doing it more efficiently...
Thanks for the help..
Regards, Anbu

Hello Daniel,
Here's the code through which I'm getting the Prompts, looping through the result set
response = json.loads(result_pram_out.read().decode('utf-8'))
res_loop = response['parameters']['parameter']
for key_pair in res_loop:
for attribute, value in key_pair.items():
if attribute == 'name':
When I meant efficient this is what I mean by that
Thanks for the lovInfo=false parameters, I'm currently using without that, let me include it and see how does it affect the result set.

BADI for changing Appraisal document application name for Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
For Appraisal document customizing through PHAP_CATALOG_PA, We have BADI HRHAP00_BSP_TMPL to change the BSP application name which can be used in Web layout for output display. Using this we can change application name from HAP_DOCUMENT to custom BSP application name
Similarly, what is the BADI for changing Web dynpro ABAP applictaion name? Currently its triggering HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT.
how do we change application name to some custom web dynpro application name
Regards,
Kothand

Hi Karim,
I don't know, if there is any chance to get the Webdynpro application name. At least in the ABAP System fields is no information about the webdynpro application name.
One remark: I have allways problems with BAPIS / BADIS that behave different depending on the caller. Could it be a good idea to pass some information through the interface / parameters?
Best regards
Renald

Need help for publishing web intelligence document (universe) into InfoView

Hello all,
I need help for publishing web intelligence document (universe) into InfoView.
can't find this information in Business Objects Designer's Guide and in Business Objects Administrator Guide.
Can somebody give short instructions how can I do it?
Regards, Slava

If the change between the 2 types of data has to happen dynamically during run time them
1. Use 2 dataproviders
a. Current
b. Historic
2. Merge the 2 dimensions
3. Use Webi variable to switch between the measure of the current and historic universe
Ex if [year] < 2010 then historic.[expense] else current.[expense]
Hope this helps,

What is the best process for creating a webi document?

I inherited a BI 4.0 environment with published repositories, dashboards, and webi documents.
For development purposes, I tried creating the webi document local to my machine (due to how slow it was to create the document using BILaunch pad and/or the webi rich client on the "console")
I created it as 'standalone, pointing to a local universe'; however, I can't figure out a way to move it back into my enterprise world.
I was able to convert and publish the local universe to my enterprise repository; however, because I created the document in standalone mode, it doesn't appear to want to let me change the data source to a universe.
So right now .. I have a webi document that won't let me select a universe for a data source.
Any help or proven methods for creating documents then moving them to an enterprise environment would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think Acrobat, or the Acrobat SDK can help you. Acrobat cannot be run on a server.
