Automatic distribution of workbooks

Hello,
we are actually under 3.5 and we intend to migrate soon to 7.0. We have created a workbook to report our function cost by cost center and cost center group. Actually, the distribution is done by the controllers and we would like to have an automatic distribution. Our consultants told us that we need an pre-calculation server. This has high RC-cost and we need additionally a specific development to loop for every cost center and cost center group.
Could you tell me if there is something suitable available under 7.0, perhaps in combination with BO?
regards
Harald

Hello Harald,
I don't know.
Precalculation is quite simple, cheap, easy to use and it is a very good tool.
You have just alocate a dedicated hardware for this purpose.
You can use a Windows XP with HDD Space 380 MB and 512 MB RAM
More information you can find on this note:

Document change starts automatic distribution

Hello, Sirs
I am working on automatic distribution of document after a change in a document.
All customizing steps have been covered and distribution is triggered normally but AFTER a change in the document status. So I am forcing the user to change the status to "In treatment", save it, back to "Released" and save it again, in order to start automatically the distribution.
I would like to know if it is possible to start the distribution for a released document , for instance , after a change in the description or the attached file, but if the status of the document remains unchanged.
Thanks for your help
Dario

Automate Precalculation of workbooks

Hi all,
I want to automate our precalculation of workbooks so that as soon as the process chains have completed the execution, the corresponding emails are broadcasted. There are however 19 workbooks to be broadcasted and we have two precalculation servers. I have added a node in the respective process chain that would trigger EVENT DATA CHANGE, My questions are as follows?
1) What is the minimum number of workbook that can be held in the precalculation queue at any point in time?
2) Can I have the note which is to be implemented to increase the default capacity to my requirement?
3) In the Schedule option for workbook we have a check box that says Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider where there are four checkboxes for four different infoproviders, Am I suppose to select all the four checkboxes.
Points would be awarded for helpful answers accordingly
Please let me know.
Rgds,
Sree.

Thank you for the quick reply Mr. Sharma,
Honestly, I didn't quite find that document to be helpful, reason being because all the configuration for the precalculation have been completed at my place, I want to braodcast the workbook as and when the process chain execution is complete. I have added the node to trigger Event Data Change as I have mentioned in my question, In the schedule option for a particular settings, there is an option that says Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider, In this there are 4 infoproviders, Now, my question is via the process chain, data is laoded in all the four infoproviders, so If I select all the 4, would there be four emails that would go or just one email.
Please let me know.

Distribution of workbook with broadcast

Hi gurus,
I have a question ... I have a workbook to distribute via email with the broadcast.
It's possible to do that : when I distribute this workbook I want to split this workbook by a characteristic. For example : I want that the workbook is split in x workbook (x = the number of for example BRAND) ? I can do that with the distribution of Query but what about the workbook ?
Thanks in advance
Aleksi

Hi Praksah,

i noticed that workbooks can't b filtered using chars values (Vendor)
Can you please explain the alternate apporach mentioned above.
Thans in advance

Changing the automatic Distribution Rule from Per to Full

Hello SAPians,
I have a scenario where the Customer is maintaining the Moving Average Price (I know this is not SAP suggested, I am in the process of convincing to move from moving avg to Std) for the Semi-finished goods and finished goods.
It is Product Cost by Order scenario where Process Orders are using and the settlement rule to the Material and distribution rule is "Per" (Periodic). The main reason Customer had this Per was they would not be able to settle the Order once they settle it in full.
But due to increased issues in month end atctivities due to thie 'Per' settlement (settlement of Process Orders not settling properly in the last month due to the failure of Batch jobs and other reasons). I want to suggest them to use Distribution Rule 'Full' instead of 'Per' because of the following advantages considering the above scenario.
1. The 'Full' settlement can be settled if the Order is not in Teco or closed status any number of times as long as there is the Variance sitting on the Order.
2. The 'Full' Distribution rule will not create issue if the variance is sitting on the Order in the closed period because when you do the settlement in the next period, system will allocate the variances from the last period to the Material Receiver in the current Period(I have not yet tested this scenario) and has not been. (Yeah I know there will be issue if the Material has been moved out of inventory before the settlement happens, they have another set up to update the Material prices manually by keeping the track of cost of Material).
3. So the config change will be the Product cost by Order -> Manufacturing Order-> Define Cost-Accounting-Relevant Default Values for Order Typ --> change the Default rule from PP1 to PP2 'Process orders (periodic settlement)'
Please let me know if what I am thinking is wrong based on this sceanrio and also please give me some more insight if I am missing any points.
Thank you very much for your time!
-Harter.

Hi Balaji/Ajay,
Could you please help me in understanding the effect of Variances if I change the Order type to FULL in this scenario (Moving Average price for Finished good Material)?
I checked the configuration and the Variance is only Total Variance that is settling to FI and COPA.
Also client is more concentrated on Variance accumulated per year and not per month.
Let's say I have Order in Period 9 where the actual debits on the Order are $1000 and actual credits are $1200 where balance (variance) is $200 and suppose I missed the Period 9 settlement and I want to settle this Order in Period 10 where I had $100 variance in that Period 10
Period         Variance on Order                Status
9              $200                   missed
10              $100                   not yet
So now when I settle the Order in period 10 (with FULL as settlement type), it settles $300 instead of $100 variance. So if this is the case, if I look at the Variance data, yes the variance data is wrong but if I look at yearly perspective, it looks right but I think I am missing something here, right?
Also what happens if the Order is open more than one year and the same scenario happens, the Variance will be posted to new year which is again issue, right?
Am I in the right direction?
Please advice.
Thank you,
-Harter.

Automatic Distribution of Exchange Rates between two Systems

My requirement is to Automatically Update Exchange Rate in ECC 6.0. The Exchange Rates are Maintained in 4.6 C System.
I am Currently Using program RFALEX00 in 4.6C system to Create IDOCS and Transfer it to ECC 6.0
Similarly i am Using ExchangeRate BAPI for the Inbound Process in ECC 6.0.
Now my Problem is this Change Pointers is Not Activated for Transfer of Exchange Rate. If some one Knows How to Activate change pointers for Exchange rate please let me know.
I also tried Executing RSIMPCURR and RSIMPCURT but its giving me a Dump.
I Donot know what are the Purpose of RSIMPCURR and RSIMPCURT. If Some one can explain this it would be great.
The Dump is due to this FM in the Program.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSAR_DESTINATION_GET'
     EXPORTING
          I_LOGSYS      = L_SOURCE
    IMPORTING
         E_DESTINATION = L_DESTINATION
    EXCEPTIONS
         NOT_EXIST     = 1
          OTHERS        = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE X000(RH).
ENDIF.
Incase if someone has worked on a similar problem please help.
Thanks,
Mithun.

Hi..
These are the Steps to configure Change pointers for any master data.
In your Case you have to use the Message type of Exchange Rates.
Steps:
First of All you have to Create the Basic ALE configurations like Port, Partner profiles etc.
These are the Steps to Cofigure Change pointers:
Tcode : BD61 - This will Activate the Change pointers Generally
   Here you select the Check box
<b>   Activate Change pointers Generally</b>
Tcode BD50 : Activate Change pointers for individual Message types
Flag the Check box for ur Message types.
Material - MATMAS
Vendor - CREMAS
Now you have to Schedule the Report RBDMIDOC periodically to pocess Change pointers and Send the IDOCs.
So wheneven you change a material or Vendor the Idocs has to be generated and distributed.

How to automate distribution of pdf documents to new sources from queue?

our site is gathering user submissions for ebook typos.
we have a routing system setup to automatically find email and street address information based on twitter handle searches and best guess methodology in cases with no matches.
our current system relies upon the source being pre-configured.
Can anyone point me to the SDK calls with keeping documents in a queue until actions are taken to release them?

The Acrobat SDK cannot help you because Acrobat is not for server use. You need a server-licensed component or application. However, I don't understand your requirements. What do you mean by a "queue" and "release"? Where are PDFs involved?

RSCC_SCC1_BATCH for automatic distribution of open transports

Hi ,
We are planning to use the RSCC_SCC1_BATCH report to automatically collect and copy all Customizing requests and tasks that were changed after a certain point in time.
Please provide your inputs regarding the above automatic copy of open transports. Let us know if foresee any limitations in the above strategy (as the versioning in ABAP program/ SAP scripts and some of the testing may get effected). We are trying to understand the suitable frequency of the Batch program.
Rgds,
Suyash

HI,
I have found some live examples such as
1. The transports should be copied to all the clients once they get released: This is required because once the TR is released (assuming itu2019s open transport is already copied to other clients), in that case the final released TR should be copied to all the clients to maintain consistency within clients.
2. Schedule the transport copy batch job so that it does not impact the development. I guess a batch job once a day (during night hours should be okay)
If you have similar possible impacts/limitations on developed objects/ dependant objects, pls share with us on this forum.
Rgds,

How to save automatically scheduled Discoverer workbook as a file?

Hi,
When I run a Discoverer report I have the option to export as a file in various formats (PDF, TXT, Excel).
I’ve scheduled a workbook in discoverer and I want it not only to be saved in the Discoverer itself, I also want it to be saved as a file (PDF, TXT, Excel) when it finished running.
Can someone please explain how can it be done?
Another issue:
Is it possible to use other kinds of triggers to run the report beside a schedule?
Meaning – I want the report to run immediately when payroll (trigger exists in DB) finished running.
Thanks!
Rafi

Hi,
I had the same requirement and i achieved it by the combination of Descoverer Scheduled report and oracle concurrent program. In a brief the process goes like this:
1.) Create and schedule the discoverer Report on periodic basis. For example every hour starting from morning 9:00 AM.
2.) As soon as schedule report start running at 9:00 AM, it will create a table in DB to store the output of the execution.
3.) Create a query to fetch the last executed report output.
4.) Get the table name created for the last executed output.
5.) Create the oracle apps concurrent program to perform step 3 & 4 dynamically.
6.) Also, write the code in the concurrent program to Generate Excel/Text/CSV/PDF file by selecting values from the last created table.
7.) Schedule the concurrent program at the time which is the possible/approximate end time of discoverer report execution. For example, if your report take 15 mins to complete, then schedule your program at 9:20 (giving some buffer time just in case).
Now, your discoverer report is scheduled every hour and take 15 mins to complete. And your concurrent program is also schduled to fetch last executed data and create file (and possible Email/FTP them) form the output.
Hope this helps. Do feel free to revert in case you require queries that i have used to perform above mentioned steps.

Nitesh

Automatic distribution of published reports

Hi all,
We have been playing around with the delivery manager API's and have used them to email documents with no problems. What we want to be able to do is take a single data source, generate a separate pdf for each group of elements (lets say for each customer). It is not clear how best this can be done.
I have looked at the "Document Processor Engine" as well and it looks like we could create one data source that contains the data to be formatted and delivery instructions. Has anyone used this? Is this the way to go or is there another approach?
David

The IEX code refers to the Advanced Collections module in AR. I think its at least an 11.5.10 product if not one of the CU releases on top of that. So if you are not on a late enough patch level then the file will not exist.
You could find the relevant patch on metalink and look for the file.
Now the original question was about bursting, in the 5.6.1 release (see the sticky at the top of the forum) we have bursting support. the bursting engine basically takes XML data e.g. batch of invoices and a control file which instructs the engine how to burst and what template to be used and where the resulting document needs to be sent. Check out the user guide for details. Im working on a paper about bursting in the EBS.

Automate Workbook Refresh

Hi All,
Does anyone have a way to automatically refresh a workbook and save it to a file folder? We have a workbook that is highly formatted and has multiple queries on one worksheet so the reporting agent as I understand it won't help me, but let me know if I am wrong. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Soniya,
I saw your original posting with this question. I did not respond to that posting because this is really not something that can be done in VB.
With VBA in Excel, you can schedule a routine to run (the command is Application.OnTime, then give the time for the subroutine to run and the name of the subroutine). But, this has 2 problems for your application:
1. this allows only "time", not "date + time"
2. the schedule stays in Excel memory; which means it gets lost if Excel is closed.
I would think that using scheduling within BW is the right way to do this. But, I am not an expert on that subject.
If the workbook is stored on a local or LAN drive vs. on the BW server, then the only other option that comes to mind is Windows scheduling (and set up the workbook so that your macro will kick off automatically when the workbook opens).
Here is a link that gives instructions on how to use Windows scheduler:

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Could you clarify a bit on below.
Do you wanted to distribute your distribution Model the movement you create Integration Model in CFM1 automatically. ( Solution: Schedule a background Job for automatic distribution ).
or
When you CIF you r Vendor Master and Customer Master, do you want to create BP Automatically in EWM.
If your question is second one, please follow below screen shot. It will create both Location Master and BP in EWM.

TPM: planning view - value distribution

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where the entered advert contribution as a trade spend must be distributed evenly among the assigned products.
We will do the planning either at product or product group level. We use the standard planning profile 4TPM0002 in our trade promotions. When the planning view is displayed we don't have an agregated total line so we have to manually distribute the cost among the assigned products. No automatically distribution takes place. So my question is:
Do I have to set up value distribution in the IMG (SPRO->SAP Reference IMG-> Customer Relationship management->Marketing->Marketing planning and campaign management->Key figure planning->*Maintain value distribution)
Is the above configuration also applicable for TPM or do we have to set up distribution from aggregate level in BPS?
I have the same issue with the uplift to APO.
Regards
Anne

Hello Anne,
Mentioned path is for campaigns only.that is beacause Distribution to target objects is only provided for campaigns and campaign elements.
To answer your Question, you have to set up distribution from aggregate level in BPS.

Auto refresh when opening a workbook

Hi
When I open a workbook, I would like the query to auto refresh. In that way the planning user will see the latest planning values and not the ones saved in the workbook.
Is there any functionality for running the planning function refresh automatically when the workbook is opened?
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Erik,
Once you open the workbook, just right click on result area and select properties.
In that select the Interaction tab and then check Refresh query when opening workbook.
Then dont forget to save the work book.

Complex distribution Scenario using XI: MDM GL Account Custom Repository

Hi All,
We have a complex Landscape with multiple (4) businesses (multiple R3) instances and most common R3 --> DEV 4 instances with 5 clients each, QAS 4 instances with 2 clients each with some additional clients, PRD 4 instances with a client each and Training 4 instances with 2 clients each in the Landscape along with BW systems.
We are trying to implement standard MDM - XI - R3 distribution scenario. Only difference being MDM Production will be the Master distribution client and have to be distributing to all the R3 clients.
To achieve this syndication is being planned as MDM production to distribute files to 4 businesses to 4 file share folders. These files will be picked up by XI production and will be distributing(Creating IDOCs) on multiple receivers (R3 --> DEV, QAS and PRD) clients of the respective instances.
My question is: Is there an easy way to configure single file to mutiple R3 client IDOC receiver scenario? Also there might be additions and deletions of the R3 clients based on business requirements. Is there any proposed or already implemented procedure to achieve this complex distribution?
Your time and input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
-Raj.

Hi Raj,
You can use the Syndication Server for a automatic distribution from MDM to XI. The recommended way is to distribute one file per target system. This means that you have to create the target systems in MDM and then use MDM Ports to distribute the message. You can configure a communication channel on XI in a way that it loops through your different port folders to pick the message. The you use the Receiver Determination to configure the receivers of your data.
A short question: do you always want to syndicate the data to all of you systems? The you could solve the issue easier: you send one file from MDM to XI using MDSS and a generic port. Then you use the Receiver Determination on XI to distribute the message to all of your target systems.
Kind regard
Michael
