BEx Broadcaster and Precalcualtion server in BI 7.0

Hello All,
I have below queries request your inputs.
1. When I go to BEx Analyzer > Workbook> Bex Broadcasteru2026 I am not getting a popup requesting for SAP credentials. I am sure there is something missing in my SPRO or SICF.
2. When I Test my BEx in SICFu2026 its saying page not displayed.
3. Do we need Enterprise portal to Broadcast workbooks through Precalcualtion server in BI 7.
Thanks
Rakesh.

It is possible to do the charts in the BEX Analyzer. For this you should have BI 7.0 with SP 13 and the configuration of BEX Analyzer to BI system.
If u give me u r mail id i will send some documents.
Assign points
Thanks and regards,

Bex Broadcasting and trying broadcast email

Hi Gurus,
Iam Using Bex Broadcasting and trying broadcast email.
but it is raising an Error.
    -->Settings were started from the BEx Broadcaster
    -->Processing for user SUMANB, language EN
    Processing setting
   -->The query was successfully generated.
-->Error: com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.runtime.controller.MessageException: The Web template "0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF" does not exist in the master system.
How to assign a printer. to print the reports.
Points are assigned for proper answers.

Hi,
Trying a 'Find' in the 'Web Application Designer', for this template.
If not available, go to 'RSA1', 'BI Content', choose 'BEX Web Template' and double-click on 'Select Objects'. The template should be here.
Highlight and 'Transfer Selections' and you will install the template.
Now try your broadcasting again.
If it still does not work, you will need to go via 'SPRO' - just reply and I will explain if the first part above does not solve it.
Thanks

Unable to publish to Portal and BEx Broadcaster in WAD

Dear SDN Experts,
We are experiencing the following problem when trying to publish or broadcast a Web Template from BEx WAD to EP portal:
(we are using BI 2004s, SP10, Revision 263 of BEx WAD)
When we create and save a new Web Template, we choose from the menu Web Template -> Publish -> to Portal or BEx Broadcaster. These two options are active but when we click on either of them, nothing happens. The system is not responding in any way.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this problem?
We have thought it is an authorization issues either on the BI side or on the Portal, but as we have granted all neccessary authorizations we can state that it does not seem to be an authorization problem.
I will very much appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance,
Ivan Giurov

Hi Ivan,
Make sure ABAP and Java Stack are communicating. Run RSRT2 --> Java Web to make sure you are communicating with Portal.
Can you please check if you have authorizations to use Information Broadcaster?
Authorization object: S_RS_ADMWB with the field RSADMWBOBJ = BR_SETTING
Logon to Java Stack Portal --> Business Explorer --> BEx Broadcaster and test it from here. so that you are not having any problem with authorizations or connectivity.
thanks,
Deepak Kunavarapu

Bex broadcaster from web goes in infinite loop

Hi All,
After executing a query in web, when we click on the send button for the Bex broadcasting wizard to appear, the page keeps loading and the wizard does not appear.
Please can you give some pointers....
Thanks in advance

Hi Sireesha,
Can you right click on the Analysis item and go to Broadcast and Export->Broadcast E-Mail and check whether this opens the Broadcasting wizard?
Disable the pop ups,if you have for the browser
You can also open the query in BEx Broadcaster and can create the Broadcast setting through wizard to broadcast a query.

Variant for Control Query on Bex Broadcaster Filter

I am trying to create a Bex Broadcaster setting on a query via query designer (query -->Publish --> Bex Broadcaster). In the Filter Navigation Tab, I want include a filter using a control query with variants. My control query has a variable that is set to (single value, mandatory,manual input) and i created a variant for the control query on the web. I am able to create the Bex Broadcaster setting and enter my control query but when I go enter the variant it always gives me "No selections available".
Another issue that i am having is - when I try to create a filter on a characterisitc in the Bex Broadcaster and give mulitple values in the filter, it ends up generating seperate excel files (distribution type is e-mail) for each value in the filter. Is there any way i can consolidate all these results and get it to generate on single file?

1st : no wanswer by now.
2nd : don't filter in the Broadcastsetting, filter in the Broadcastquery to avoid a broadcast for every filter value.

BEx Broadcaster Send button - No Broadcast Wizard with Key Figures in Rows

Working in BI 7.0 SP 16, we are having an issue with BEx Broadcaster. For a typical horizontal query (key figures in columns), the send button in BEx on the Portal works properly and returns the Broadcasting Wizard. However, when using a query in a vertical format (key figures in rows), the window opended by the send button displays the "spinning wheel" and never procceds on to the Broadcasting Wizard.
I have checked for SAP notes related to BEx Broadcaster and was not able to find anything relevant.
The same query was tested with the key figures in columns and in rows. The Broadcast Wizard comes up when the key figures are in columns, but not in rows. Since it was tested both ways with the same query, I am assuming that the issue is related to the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a known limitation, or a patch available? Does anyone have a BI system with a query you could flip the key figures from columns to rows and give it a try?
thanks,
-Shawn

Shawn,
I'm having my own issues with BEx Broadcaster in the Portal, but from BEx Query Designer - Query - Publish - BEx Broadcaster, the BEx Broadcaster Wizard is available in both cases (Key figures in columns and key figures in rows).

Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

Hi Experts,
I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting. The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
Can you please tell what could be the problem.

Hi Ravikanth,
Thank you very much for the reply
I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'. There we have 3 sections
1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
Can you please help me further to trace the error.
Thank you
Narendra

BEx Broadcasting possible windows 7 and Office 2010

Hi guys,
i have a question concerning Bex Broadcasting. We use two desktop Physical PCs with OS XP . The service is running on them. We would like to Upgrade to windows7 and Office 2010. Office 2010 is rolled out on them but windows 7 will be rolled out soon. i have compatibility concerns. The client PCs from where the chains will be exIs Bex Broadcaster working onecuted and also the PCs where the precalculation service is installed and the precalculation takes place will be updated to windows7. Is the broadcaster compatible with that? or are there any restrictions/limitations?
Thanks and regards,

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Many have had issues, many have had success. The only way to diagnose is with details..."it will not sync correctly" only leaves us to guess. Here are some details that might help:
1) Your BB Desktop Software version -- all 4 octets please
2) Your BB OS level -- again, all 4 octets
3) Your carrier/country
4) What, exactly, happens when you try to sync? Can you configure and not sync? Can you not configure? Are there error messages? Details please to help us to help you.
Good luck and let us know!

Broadcast and point to point server in the same port

I'm trying to set up a system where I can send point to point messages via sockets to certain ips, send broadcast messages to every pc in the network, and also be able to listen for point to point messages and broadcast messages, all in the same port. I've been able to establish a point to point connection using the Socket class to send the message, and using the ServerSocket class to listen for messages, but I can't seem to get broadcasting to work.
I read somewhere that for broadcasting one should use the DatagramSocket class. The problem is i'm not sure which ip i'm supposed to specify when I send the message. Also, do I need a special listener to listen for broadcast messages, or will the ServerSocket listener work for that?
This is what I have for the broadcasting part:
String msg = myId;
DatagramSocket sendSocket;
sendSocket = new DatagramSocket(Constants.COM_PORT); // 4567
InetAddress group = InetAddress.getByName(Constants.BROADCAST_ADDR); // "192.168.1.1"
DatagramPacket dp = new DatagramPacket(msg.getBytes(), msg.getBytes().length, group, Constants.COM_PORT);
sendSocket.send(dp);
sendSocket.close();
Thanks in advance
Diego

It worth mentioning that UDP/broadcast and robust do go together easily.
- UDP does not guarantee delivery. i.e. messages can be dropped and you won't be told. Lost packets are not retransmitted either.
- UDP can fragment packets if larger than 532 bytes long.
- UDP packets can arrive out of order (though I have never seen this myself)
If your receiver is under load/busy it can miss many packets if its buffers overflow.

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

Issues in BEx Broadcasting through email

Dear Experts,
I am currently facing a very weird issue while broadcasting BEx reports. What i have noticed is that it is not possible to schedule the same report with two different settings at the exactly same time.
Suppose the Bex report name is DEMO_QUERY. Now i want to schedule it with two different technical settings for different selections but at the same time, say 8:00:01 AM. When i schedule the report, i get no errors. But at the time of execution, only one them is broadcasted and the other fails with the following generic error.
Java system error: Exception in method processFunction.
Message no. RSBOLAP018
Now this error has been widely discussed on SCN but none of them fits my scenario. The resolution provided in many threads points to running a diagnostic tool on the portal. I have even checked the number of processes allocated to BROADCAST and so on.
But if i space the two settings by say one minute or so, i get both the broadcasts. So i want to learn that is there a technical w.r.t BEx broadcaster which prevents it from broadcasting same report at same time with two different settings.
Thanks

Hi Michael,
The current setting is 3,default i guess. But there are many other BEx queries which are scheduled at the same time. Problem is only encountered when the same BEx query is scheduled with multiple broadcast settings to run at the same time. If it was an issue with Java server then shouldn't it be affecting other reports also which are scheduled at the same time.
Thanks
