Variable string "VAR_01" is not filled - BEX Broadcasting - General precal

Hello BEX guru,
When trying to use BEX broadcasting ->General precalculation (trying to precalculate liket the old reporting agent), i am getting this error. However, once going to the "Variable Values" to create I am getting the "BEX web Analysis" screen with prompt to "new analysis, open, save as...tab". I've tried using RSRT and create a global variable for one of my query that has the variable prompt but still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi,
For the webtemplate, create a global variant. This variant you can use it the precalculation.

Broadcasting - General Precalculation Variable Assignment

Hi All,
Just have a query regarding Broadcast settings for a bex Query with variables.
After creating the broadcast settings under the "General Precalculation"
Variable Assignment
> Determine from Variants options
Can anyone tell me where do we have to create these variants so as to select them from the Broadcast settings window and map it to the query varaibles??
Thanks
Rao

Hi Rao,
You just need to execute ur query ( either in Bex Analyser or Web analyser ). In the selection screen you can enter the values for ur variable & save as a variant ( ex: VARIANT1 ).
In broadcasting now click now variant tab there u can see the VARIANT1 which was created during query execution.
Hope this helps.

Variable Assignment in General Precalculation tab of BI 7.0 broadcaster

Hi,
In the broadcast setting, under General precalculation tab variable values can be set up. When we are clicking create variable values, screen with all the variables of the query were coming.
After entering data in the variables and clicking OK, values are not being transferred to the Broadcast setting. The variable page remains like that with out transferring to the Pre Calculation tab.
We are on SAPKW70020.Distribution type used is Broadcast email, output fornat is MHTML. I tried with other output types, but same result.
We are using query as the object type for creating Bex Broadcaster.
Has anyone ran into this issue before?
Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Mohan,
You have opened up an old post, so many responses might be to answer the initial question.
However, to answer your question, when you click 'Create' next to the 'VAR01 in Variable assignment, what you see is a popup window with the 'Ready for Input' variable present in your query/ workbook/ template, which is the same variable screen which you get when you execute the same query/ workbook/ template independently. You can then enter values for those variables and click OK, to save it and to be passed to the broadcasting setting. The broadcast would then happen for the same variable values.
However, if you face the issue mentioned by Pradeep, then after clicking OK, you can cancel the popup window. The values of the variables would still be passed.
After the popup window closes, you can see the 'Create', you initially saw, replaced with 'Change'. This means the values are saved.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

BEx Broadcaster - Using a Workbook with multiple queries on different tabs

Hi,
I was wondering if any has used Bex Broadcaster to broadcast a workbook that contains multiple queries on different tabs in the workbook. I believe someone has mentioned that this was an issue in the past and I was wondering if this now a possibility with Bex Broadcaster
If you were able to do this successfully, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello
Of course it is possible.
But, if you want to broadcast a workbook, you have to use a Precalculation Server.
Without precalculation server, workbooks cannot be precalculated and broadcasted.
More details, please check the note below:

BEx broadcasting: Font types in pdf-documents

Hi folks,
I got a report designed in BEx report designer. In this report I use certain font types. However, when I broadcast this report to our SAP Netweaver Portal as pdf these font types get lost, i.e. the texts in the generated pdf-documents are in other fonts. Do I have to install these fonts on our system? If so, how can this be done? Where can I see the current standard fonts on our system?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Dear Thomas,
After creating a report in Report Designer,just go to Report->Execute.
This will open that report in Web Analyzer.Just check whether your font types are shown as you configured in the report.
If this works as expected,then you will get a report with configured fonts, after you broadcasted into portal.
Make sure that you made teh following settings for the report while broadcasting
Distribution Type : Broadcast to the Portal
Output Format : PDF
Under "General Precalculation" tab,
Portal Theme: SAP Standard
Proper "Layout" tab options.
Hope this will help you.
Please revert me in case of any clarifications.

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!

The Information broadcasting. Precalculation doesnt work.

hi,
i'm trying to send the workbooks by Information Broadcasting but getting the error mentioned below
E BExExcelPrecDLL.StartCalc: Connection was not passed to Excel
excel security is set to "low".
any ideas how to fix that?
thanks

Hi,
Kindly carry out precalculation server set up with the help of basis team.
Prerequisites for setup:
     Install Microsoft .Net Framework (installed with SAP Frontend)
     Install SAP GUI 6.40
     SAP Netweaver 7.0 BI Frontend (BI Add-On).
     Install Microsoft Excel 2000 or higher
Main steps for setup:
     Install the pre-calculation software that is part of BI Add On.
     After Finishing the installation go to the Services Window of your operating system
     Search for Service called SAP BW PRECALCULATION SERVICE 7.0. Double click on the service.
     Enable Automatic as Startup type
     In the logon tab, mark the checkbox u201CAllow service to interact with desktopu201D.
     Log on to the BW system from the PC where you created the settings above and enter transaction RSPRECADMIN in order to Create Precalculation Server.
     Enter the technical name of the server (max. 10 characters) and a description. The description is language dependent and appears in the BEx Broadcaster during selection of a special precalculation server. The precalculation server, which from a technical viewpoint is an RFC server, appears in the list.
     Start the Windows service SAP BW Precalculation Service. The precalculation server is ready and the status display of the precalculation server shows a green light. You can now see the server in the Broadcaster setting dialog for a workbook precalculation distribution type.
     There is a log available to do trouble shooting. From Customizing (transaction SPRO): SAP Reference IMG SAP NetWeaver SAP Business Information Warehouse Reporting-relevant Settings General Reporting Settings in Business Explorer  Administer Precalculation Server Select the u2018Documentation for the Serveru2019 icon Display the Front End Log.

For some background, we are on NW04S Patch 9 with BEx Front End 3.5 Patch 10.
Does anyone have any inisight on this issue?
Thanks.

Please disregard question.

Bex Broadcaster can't click past OK in variable assignement

Hi All,
Form the portal Broadcast settings in general precalculation settings when I try to change variable values selection from that actual screen I can't click past ok after selecting the variable.
we are BW 7.02 and on IE8
from reading some posts on SDN i have already tried and I have turned of SmartScreen Filter off/ Phising filter off and also looked at note
1498753 - Variable screen not closed in Bex Broadcaster, but this has not resolved our issue.
has anyone else faced a similar issue
Thanks
Forhad

Thank you for your suggestion. I want to make sure I understand you correctly so I have a few questions.
Is this transparent table that you are using in your BW system or in your ECC system? Our BW and ECC systems are on different machines using different databases. Do you load the data from this table into your BW system for this to work? I think I understand that you are creating a way to create the missing master data so the BEX 7 query does not give the error message allowing the user to input their range of values.
If I understand you correctly I would create my Z table in our ECC system with the fields you mentioned, create a DSO or something simple in our BW system and load the data each time a user wants to use a new range of values for the field so that the field's master data would exist.
Am I understanding you correctly?
I don't think this solution, if I am understanding it correctly, will work for us because I don't think I can just add new Vendor Numbers like you were able to do with a date field. The Vendor is tied to a lot of other things, master data, ...
Thanks,
Jeri

The role of Reporting agent once we have BEx Broadcaster

Hi all,
I understand the BEx broad caster does the pre calculation of Web template, distribution by various mechanisms...So in this context, how and when Reporting agents will be necessary ? Can any one give the differences between those two ??
best regs
D Bret

Dave,
For some time both will be needed. It is true that some things Reporting Agent did, send a report, BEx Broadcaster does better. But certain Reporting Agent features have not migrated yet. Here's how to think about it: If you want to run a query and store the data in a table for later use, you still need Reporting Agent. This covers priming the OLAP cache, Web template precalculation, pre-run Exceptions, etc.
If you want to present these query results, the means have moved to BEx Broadcaster. That's emailing a workbook, emailing a query result or a link, publishing in the Portal.
(Not) Coincidentally, the first set of features are mostly or exclusively ABAP-based and the second set is based on NetWeaver Java WAS.
Hope this helps,
Doug Childs
