BEx Broadcaster SAP BW 3.5 - Workbooks

Hello Experts,
we have installed the Precalculation Service on a separate server. After we have configured it we tried to schedule some workbooks. Some of the workbooks are running but there are some workbooks which are not running, all with VBA coding. We get the error "SAPBEX.XLA" could not be found". But this file is in the respective folder and if you run the workbook manually on the server it works fine. We also have installed again the SAP GUI, but this also didn't help.
Can anyone help me? It is very urgend.
Thx,
AK

Hello,
on the server we have excel 2007 and on my notebook I have excel 2003.
I have ssen that when you run the WB on the server (excel 2007) the file sapbex.xla will be used but when you schedule the WB then the service try to access the file sapbexp.xla. This is a problem because in the VBA coding of the WB we use sapbex.xla. Is there a possibility to use also for the scheduling sapbex.xla???
Why there is also the file sapbexp.xla???
Thx,
AK

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 Broadcaster is disabled in BEx Analyzer

Dear all,
The BEx Broadcaster function in the BEx Analyzer is disabled. It works fine in the Query Designer. Is there any one know how to enable it or is there any configuration that I should do?

Look into the SAP Help.
"The Broadcaster option is only visible when a workbook is open. If you only open a query in the BEx Analyzer, this broadcasting option is not available."

Variant selection missing in BEx Broadcaster

I've created workbook in BEx Analyzer (2004s). Workbook has selection screen. I also created variants for workbook. I then went into BEx Broadcaster to distribute workbook. I don't see option to select variant that I created in Analyzer under workbook precalculation tab. I see only option for variable assignment which ask me to create new assignment.
I've used information broadcasting 3.5. It has option to enter variant under pre-calculation tab. Any idea why this option is missing in 70 BEx Broadcaster.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Milind

Broadcasting and pre-calculated Excel workbook

Hello,
Is it possible to pre-calculate an Excel workbook using the Broadcast functionality of BW 3.5 and save the calculated workbook on the BW server itself. We don't want to send the workbook via e-mail or publish it on the portal. We just want the users to open the pre-calculated workbook from the BW server itself.
Many thanks.
François.

hi,
Using the BEx Broadcaster, you can precalculate and distribute Web templates, queries and workbooks. You can distribute these reporting objects either in precalculated form or as an online link. Your distribution options include sending by e-mail or exporting into the Enterprise Portal.

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:

How to include Distribution list in Bex Broadcaster

Hi experts,
Can anyone tell me how to include distribution list in bex broadcaster?
We have created a distribution list which we use in SBWP tcode for sending reports through mail.
I want to try broadcasting reports through Bex query designer and scheduling weekly. Although bex broadcaster
provides us the facility to enter the email ids of user but it is very tedious to type all the ids. Can i incorporate
the distribution list, which we have already created, in broadcaster?

Just to close this topic.
I have reported a bug to Android project, because bottom-line they are responsible for the error - not SAP BEx.
Anyone interested can see the bug report here:

If you decide to look at the bug report, please mark it with a Star to bring focus on this problem.

BEx Broadcasting : Error loading template 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE

Hello Everybody,
When i go to Business Explorer - Web Application Designer - Publish and click on In BEx Broadcaster ,an error message is displayed when this is loaded saying :
<b>Error loading template 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE</b>
When I tried installing 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE an error message was displayed as :
<b>Object Web Template Name 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE is not available in version D</b>
This means that 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE is not available in delivered version .
Is this any other way to install this template or can this template be separately installed,if yes plz tell me how to do it.If this template cannot be installed separately then,is there no other way to activate BEx broadcasting functionality in BW .Kindly revert back at earliest as I am suffering with this issue since many days.my Email Id is [email protected] .
Thanks,
Saumya

Hi,
Sorry for bothering you - see SAP Note 861803 if of any help.
Symptom
In a BW 3.5 system, you want to define the Standard Web Templates and you call Transaction RSCUSTV11 to do this, however the system displays only the fields "Style sheet" and "Template properties".
Other terms
RSCUSTV11, RSCUSTV21, 0QUERY_TEMPLATE, 0ADHOC, 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE, 0ANALZYER, 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING, 0DOC_TEMPLATE2, standard Web template
Solution
In a BW 3.5 system, use Transaction RSCUSTV21 to maintain the Standard Web Templates.

Vikash

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

   -->The query was successfully generated.

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

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

BEx Broadcasting Error

Hi,
We are having trouble executing BEx broadcasting on our portal. We are using NW04s SPS11. The problem we are having is with the out-of-the-box iView for the BEx broadcaster. After we select a workbook to broadcast and enter the required settings information and click execute, we get an error message. The error states:
An Active RFC Server could not be found.
Error occurred during processing of framework class CL_RSRD_PRODUCER_EXCEL, type PROD.
I've checked the system landscape and the connection to the ABAP BI system tests out ok. The ABAP BI system is also showing up in the SLD. I've also seen a couple notes that say this is a build error and is fixed in service packs, but we are way beyond that service pack (currently on SPS11).
Any suggestions?

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.
