BEx Broadcaster (Wizard) Settings - step 2 Mandatory Variables

Hi all,
when trying to broadcast a query by using the BEx Broadcaster Wizard I stumbled upon something where i need some help from you guys.
At step 2 'Specify Variable Assignment' it says that ' mandatory variables exist' and that I must specify 'how these variables must be filled during precalculation'. After selecting the first variable in the drop down menu e.g. VAR_01 it says 'Variable Values Create' . Clicking on create just brings me to another window where i can run the analyzer again... and I don't really know what to do next, because it seems i can't really create or select something to create the necessary value for step 2.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Hi,
When you are doing precalculation of query , the variable should be filled automatically ,this you can achieve by writing customer exit variable..
Also check the below link..

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 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:

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.

BEx broadcaster precalculation variable value shows BEx web analyser iview

Hi Experts,
I'm getting this very weird problem on BEx Broadcaster in BI production portal. In BEx Broadcaster, the general precalculation tab, variable value create /change link when clicked show BEx Web Analyser iview instead of variable entry screen.
This was working fine until two days back when this problem started showing up.
Users are not able to create new broadcast settings in the production environment nor able to change variables of existing setting which is casuing lot of problem.
If anyone has faced this issue before please let me know how can this be resolved? Also it will be greatly appreciated if someone can explain how the link is calling the variable entry screen.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Experts,

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).

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

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...

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.

Dynamic variable in Bex Broadcaster

We have a mandatory variable as 'Date' in the report. While creating the variant in Bex Broadcaster for sending mails daily - the date gets saved & remains constant. We need the date to be changed dynamically everyday when the mail is sent.
I would like to know how should I achieve this. Thanks. Helpful ans will be appreciated.

Hi,
You would need to create the Date variable as Customer Exit.
Populate the Date variable in CMOD by sy-datum or other logic, if u need. This will fix ur issue.
Steps: 1. Make the Mandatory (existing variable) to Customer Exit
2. Choose "Variable can be Input-Ready"
3. Write your code in CMOD for I_STEP = 1 to populate the sy-datum
If you do this, your existing variable will still be Mandatory, except the default value which will be shown in that is Current Date (Sy-datum). This should resolve your probs.
Regards,
Chathia.

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

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.
