BEx Broadcaster Question

Hello All.
Just a quick question since i'm getting inpatient.
I'm trying to set up schedules thru bex broadcaster thru the BI Portal.
Is there any other way to do this? Meaning is there a tran code i can go to in the system and do the same.
This just seems to be very slow way of doing it, and just thought i'd throw the question out there.
Thanks in advance.
Amit

RSRD_ADMIN - Broadcasting (7.x) Administration

Questions on Bex Broadcaster

Hello All,
I have some questions regarding Bex Broadcaster. Can anyone please answer.
Is there a way to monitor Bex broadcaster to get informed in case that reports could not be sent off? If yes how?
Could this be automated (e.g. that we get an email if there was any issue)?
If Bex broadcaster is down while it should send out some reports, will the reports then be distributed later on when Bex broadcaster is up and running again?

Srikanth,
As part of your support you could check transactions SOST and SCOT daily. This will tell you if the braodcaster has not sent an email out to a certain recipient.
Im not sure if some how if you can put the process of sending emails in bex broadcaster in a process chain. Then you can have a step which will send you a mail if the process fails.
Thanks,
Nick.

How do you delete the email addresses in the BEx Broadcast wizard(send..F4)

Hi
In the BEx Broadcast wizard, you can enter email addresses manually or then you can see them on the drop down list(previously used email ids).
Question: you can create any email address and send to these but how do you delete those ones you have added? That means I dont want those email ids that display in the dropdown list or (F4) (can find next to the send column where we give recipent email id in the Broadcast wizrd).
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,

Bex broadcaster in bex analyzer

Dear all,
I have created a report in bex analyzer. I want to add this report to portal, therefore i need to select bex broadcasting from excel bex analyzer menu.
My questions are as follows:
1) As i read in document, i can put analyzer reports in portal. Is it correct?
2) In excel bex analyzer menu, my bex broadcaster menu item is in display mode. Why can it be like this?
Thanks

You can directly add the BEx query to the portal. While creating iview there is an option for BEx query also. Just select your query there and you can access this query through portal. For that Broadcaster option present in BEx analyzer I m still searching how to use it.

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,
Murat

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!

Using Variants Created in BEx Analyzer in BEx Broadcaster

We are experiencing an issue where variants created in BEx Analyzer are not available to be selected in BEx Broadcasting.
What we are trying to achieve is when we have a Variant that is created in BEx Analyzer, we want to use the same variant in our BEx Broadcaster, which is found under the Tab General Precalculation and the option Determine from Variants.
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

Broadcasting to Enterprise Portal using Bex Broadcaster from Query Designer

I have already been able to broadcast from Query Designer using BEx Broadcaster to the portal based on a role or a user.
I select "Export into Enterprise Portal" as the Distribution Type.
I then select "Export Document to Personal Portfolio" and then enter a role.
Then I check "User-specific" because I want it to be user specific.
This all works fine.
Now I get to my question.
Can I go one step further and broadcast to a folder call... lets say "Sales" inside of their Personal Portfolio?

Hi Eric,
I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve it?

How many e-mails can i send through Bex Broadcaster?

Dear Experts
I would like to know to how many e-mail address i can send a query through "broadcast e-mail" function with BEx Broadcaster. In other words, what's the maximum number allowed of recipients?
I'm using BI version 7.0.
Thank you in advance

1. How many more phones/ipods/devices can I sync with my iTunes? I know it's 5 computers. What about iphones and ipods?
No stated limit.
2. Does Syncing multiple devices mean that all devices and my iTunes will always
have the same content? i.e., If I download a few songs to an iPhone and then sync with iTunes, will itunes then sync that new content to any other devices that I sync with my copy of iTunes, therefore all devices will always attempt to have the same content?
Depends. If all devices are set for automatic synchronization and they all have sufficient capacity to hold your entire iTunes library, then all devices will have identical content and will continue to do so whenever you add new content. If you're using manual synchronization and/or your entire library won't fit on one or more of the devices, then of course whether or not the devices have identical content will depend on you.
3. How does this affect store purchases? Can I sync multiple devices to the same copy of iTunes and how many times can I sync the purchased iTunes store content to devices? I know it's 5 computers, but what about devices?
Same answer as #1.
4. Lastly, can a device such as an iPhone be synced to more than 1 computer/iTunes? Can I sync my iPhone to my own copy of iTunes and then sync again to someone elses and will this then sync new content to all associated computers and synced devices on those computers? Again, what about purchased content in such a scenario?
Unless things have changed, an iPhone can only be synched to a single copy of iTunes. iPods other than the shuffle can be synched to multiple systems by setting to manual sync.

BEx Broadcaster --HTML error

Hello All...
I am having many issues with BEx Broadcaster when it comes to scheduling. Thought someone may be able to give me some advice here.
Ok, so I am scheduling about 20 web templates to output into PDF and be broadcasted over to the portal inbox of the user. Its working in many cases...however several are giving me errors. The errors seem to be found in rsrd_admin when I go to
'display logs'. The error sort of looks like this.
"RED CIRLCE HERE"      11/24/2009 17:21:20 AKSALVI       00000000000001568463
   ""GREEN CIRLCE HERE"     Explicit scheduling of setting DPHARBOR
   ""GREEN CIRLCE HERE"     1 packages for 03 available processes created
   ""GREEN CIRLCE HERE"     Starting parallel processing of package 1 (1 settings)...
""RED CIRLCE HERE"   Processing package with 1 settings (AKSALVI EN)
""RED CIRLCE HERE"   Processing setting DPHARBOR
""RED CIRLCE HERE"   Error while generating HTML
What could this error while generating HTML be and come from????
Any thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Alerts to email when Bex Broadcaster Failed

Hi Experts,
Currently we are broadcasting Business KPI reports to the users from SAP BI at a scheduled time.
These broadcast settings are based on webtemplate. Some times the broadcast setting which is scheduled will fail due to the most frequest errors like " Error while generating HTML" etc.
The issue is only temporary basis, next time the same error will not come and the issue is not reproducable.So is there a way we can configure the alerts to emails when the bex broadcast setting is failed.
Transaction to see logs of broadcast settings is RSRD_LOG.
Thanks & best regards,
Sudhakar.k

3 possible solutions that come to mind:
1. Write custom ABAP program that checks RSR_PREC_SETT table and sends email when report failed entry is made, and schedule program to run periodically
2. Create process chain that kick off Broadcaster report and would also notify if report has failed.
3. You can also schedule RSR_PREC_SETTINGS_RESTART with Current date variant to run periodically and this job will restart any failed broadcaster reports from that day (stored in table RSR_PREC_SETT)
Check out this article for additional information:

Creation of text variants to be used in bex broadcasting

Hello
Can someone tell me the process of creating new text variants which can be used in the subject and content fields in the bex broadcaster Wizard. I can see some standard text variants there but need to create my own.
Thanks

Hi Tinkugeo,
I tried with the following code and it is working for me :
DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
Data: NEWDATE type sy-datum.
IF i_vnam EQ <variable name>
if i_step EQ 2.
CLEAR l_s_range.
NEWDATE = sy-datum.
month = NEWDATE+4(2).
year = NEWDATE+0(4).
day = NEWDATE+6(2).
l_s_range-low+0(2) = day.
l_s_range-low+2(1) = '/'.
l_s_range-low+3(2) = month.
l_s_range-low+5(1) ='/'.
l_s_range-low+6(4) = year.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.
Check that the variable you have made is of type customer exit.
Best Wishes,
Mayank

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
