Bex Broadcaster schedule in background

Hi all,
Lately I'm using Bex broacaster to run a query and send a report to portal users through schedule, the problem appears when the query exceeds the time limit, so is there a way not only for the bex schedule to run in background but also for the query to run as background job?
Thanks.

Hi,
i dont know exactly..but there s option of precalculation..
the use of precalculation of queries is to execute a program to supply the queries
with data that has already been uploaded  and sorted so that the
dataset is available without accessing ghe database again.
then we can broadcast the information by email to the portal etc.

  • Bex Broadcasting Scheduling Questions

    I am scheduling workbooks for Broadcasting. There is an option for "Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider.  I would like to use this option along with a Direct Scheduling in the background Process option. 
    First - Is that possible? 
    What I want to achieve is the make sure my broadcast only run after the infoprovider is up to date and not have all the broadcast kick off at the same time (don't want to run out of background processes).
    Second Question - If I can choose both options, what happens when the infoProvider is not up to date (load failures) and the time specified in the schedule has past?

    Steve - I just replied to another post with how we handle it
    This works if you have control over the naming of the broadcast settings
    Create broadcast settings with a naming convention - ie ya12, ya13, yb12, yc12
    Do not schedule these
    The ya, yb, yc will be used for multi threading
    Go to program RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH and set up three variants with wild cards
    ya*
    yb*
    yc*
    Then in your process chain on successful completion call the abap with the variant 1, then variant 2 etc
    In addition you can set the broadcast to run in serial processing if you wish with the settings in RSBATCH and process BROADCAST

  • 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:

  • 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

  • Problem in delevering an email to the recipent inbox using BEx Broadcaster.

    Hi Gurus,
    I was trying to send an e-mail with output format(HTML,PDF,EXCEL etc)  using BEx Braodcaster wizard - Whenever I press execute in BI 7.0 BEx Broadcaster wizard after giving e-mail adress, contents, and subject the session is closing and it displays the message.. 'Started to send document Zxxx.hmt' .
    But finally the recipent is not getting an e-mail in to his inbox. It shows the status as sent but no mail is delevered with the attachment. Receipent e-mial address is correct and sender settings in SU01 are (ex. E-mail adrress, username, and Communication method - E-mail ).
    I dont understand why e-mails are not delivering to the recipent inbox. Could you please guide me in this regard with your inputs ?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    Sasi

    Hi,
    call transaction SCOT and see if you have error or in transit messages under the internet node;
    You can start the send process manually from here and if it works (ask your basis if it doesn't)...
    Please note that you need to schedule a job to be executed on regular basis to send the emails... (menu view / jobs)
    hope this helps...

  • 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:
    [http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24257]
    If you decide to look at the bug report, please mark it with a Star to bring focus on this problem.

  • Bex Broadcasting w/Print Help Service

    I need to set up BEX Broadcast that will process a web template, then run the Print Help Service, and finally send the output (print formatted) to an email distribution list. 
    How can I set up either the web template or the broadcaster so that it will include the call to the print help service in it's command stream when scheduled through the broadcaster?
    Thanks

    Audrey,
    usually, you don't attach "modify_class" to the URL CMD, rather it needs to be attached to the object tag of the "item".
    Once it is attached to the object tag, you just need to attach "help_serivce" class & the "item" to the URL CMD.
    I've included a few lines of sample code here. Hope it helps.
    <object>
    <param name="HELP_SERVICE" value="ZPRINTING"/>
    <param name="MODIFY_CLASS" VALUE = "ZCL_TABLE_ENHANCE">
             ITEM:            TABLE_1
    </object>
    <A href="JavaScript:window.open(SAP_BW_URL_Get() + '&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&help_service=ZPRINTING&item=TABLE_1');" >

  • Bex Broadcasting with Variable

    Hello Gurus,
      I  have a BI Report that has calendar date as selection screen which by default displays current date(18.03.2011) .
    After running the Report and scheduling the report to send through email  every day  via Bex Broadcasting tool.  That works fine for today (18.03.2011).
    But tomorrow   when I receive the report through the email . This variable automatically not changing to  tomorrows date ie 19.03.2011 so still shows  the data for 18.03.2011.
    Is there any way to change this date field automatically through Broadcasting .
    Thanks for your resposne.

    You have two options:
    1) If the calendar variable is not ready for input then it will automatically update.
    2) I am assuming you created a variant and the broadcast always shows the data for the day you saved the variant. In BEx 3.5, you can save a variant without saving the value for calendar day. This variant will force the default value every day. If you didnot create a variant and are just setting the variable values in the broadcaster, then you should create a variant as explained above and set the broadcaster to use the variant.

  • 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

  • Publish in Bex Broadcaster

    I created a web template , and clicked on publish in bex broadcaster. I got a pop up message to create the settings so I choose the wizard and typed the email address , schedule time etc. and executed. It did not work at first because the SMTP was not set up. After the basis made that change , i started getting emails . Now when I am trying to run the report and click on publish in bex broadcaster , i am not getting the message for settings . What is the reason?
    Thanks

    It is picking up the settings you have defined first time.

  • Bex Broadcaster webtemplate Error SSO :  call FM RSRD_X_GET_INFO_PROX

    Hi,
    I've applied note 972514.
    Our call for Bex Broadcaster since our portal, are working well for queries, but when we choose (open) a webtemplate and decide to schedule it (by creating  new settings )
    we have the error message :"     Java system error: call FM RSRD_X_GET_INFO_PROXY to ProgId LIL178UX_PORTAL_FW9 on host LIL178UX with SSO not authorized: Authentication failed.
    Error     Cannot generate broadcast setting for current context"
    I've checked the logs (same error message)
    SSO seems to be configured well (RSPORT_SETUP+Support Desk Tools are ok)
    Help would be grateful and reward.

    Does the authorisation user in the broadcast setting has authorization to broadcast?
    Because that's exactly what you get when the authorization user is missing the broadcast-auth.
    You can test this by putting a SAP_ALL user in the authorization user and test 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,

    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!

  • 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.

  • Bex Broadcasting Wizard : Create new text varaints

    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

    We have same problem after upgrade to BI7.  SAP responded to our OSS note indicating Timepoints using factory calendar restrictions are no longer supported -- as a result, they do not show them from Broadcaster setting-schedule context menu.  They stated we need to come up with our own workaround.  Here's one approach from another thread, but something has to be added to look at the factory calendar:
    Re: Broadcasting timepoint scheduled after an event  
    Posted: Jan 16, 2006 6:40 PM    in response to: Andy Hensel
    Reply
    Solved this on my own.
    First create and save a broadcast setting for the query to be broadcast.
    Next, create a variant for program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER with the technical name of the broadcasting setting that you created earlier in the selection options for field SettingID. Leave the rest of the fields blank.
    After creating the variant, create a process chain where the start process is scheduled after the desired event. Add an ABAP program process to the chain. Specifiy program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER as the ABAP program using the variant you created earlier.
    Now you can activate and schedule your process chain. When the specified system event and parameter are triggered, the broadcast will run.
