Bex Broadcasting Monitoring

Hi,
We are broadcasting No of reports (10+) to external vendors (5000).
My requirement is read broadcast logs, Pull the data and load into a data target in BW to develop a report that shows By report by vendors when an email is successfully sent or failed.
Which tables in BW in need to refer to get this information.
Thanks

Hi,
I think this has already been developed here:

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.

DVI to Video adapter CRT Broadcast Monitor? Is there a better option?

I am a freelance motion graphics artist, and I use Final Cut Studio, After Effects, Photoshop, etc.
I need a CRT monitoring solution for checking my color grades, etc.
SD resolution is fine, and i've got my eye on a JVC TMH-150CGU broadcast monitor from B&H. It has an S-Video (Y/C) input.
I'm thinking of using the Apple DVI Video Adapter hook up to it via S-Video.
I have a Pantone Eye-One that I can use to calibrate the monitor.
Would this setup work ok in the above applications? Will it support Digital Cinema Desktop Preview in Final Cut?
I have the 30" Apple display. Will connecting the CRT via DVI steal 256mb of my video memory???? That seems drastic considering it's already driving a 30" display AND running after effects!!
I've thought about FireWire monitoring, but I suspect the FireWire/DV 4:1:1 compression will affect the colors.
I know a CAPTURE CARD would be ideal, with SDI, etc... but I don't really have a need for a full blown capture card at the moment. I don't think use it to it's full potential (ie- to capture). It seems silly spending $$$$ just for a monitoring solution.
Or is a capture card my only option for pro monitoring? If I was to buy one, i'd want a future proof one should I digitize in the future (ie, HD, with analog support), so that leaves either a Blackmagic Intensity Pro (which I believe is only 8 bit) or a BlackMagic Decklink HD Extreme. And then i'd also need the SDI or Component expansion card for the JVC monitor, and before I know it, i've spent over $1000, just for a decent monitoring solution. Ouch.
I strongly considered the Intensity Pro card, because I could monitor SD component, and HDMI HD from the same card. But it put me off when I heard it ws only 8 bit. But it is 4:2:2 though.
What might KILL the Apple DVI adapter option is I have a TON of PAL footage, and I heard the adapter is NTSC only (or a seperate PAL version). So even though the monitor supports both standards, the adapter doesn't. Or so I've heard.
Very confused. Any other options or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi,
From the sound of things you have answered your own question.
If you wanted a CRT to just check video playback, safe areas and text legibility then a cheap option of monitoring via a deck or camera would suffice.
You mention a lot of PAL footage just as a FYI this would be 4:2:0 as opposed to 4:1:1 with NTSC under the DV codec.
You don't mention (and I'm sorry if I missed it) what codec you output to. I had always found when working with DV only that a DV monitoring solution was sufficient for most applications.
However as you indicate that colour plays a factor in the equation bite the bullet and get a decent monitoring system from the off. I am using the Decklink Extreme and have found it to be excellent especially in real time conversion and monitoring of HD to SD.
In addition you get the ability to work all the way up to 10bit (drives allowing) and capture over SDI with full deck control.
You could stagger the cost since the BM card will let you monitor composite out in addition to component so the expansion board for the CRT might not be a must have from the get go for you.
Whatever route you go you will want to calibrate the CRT using broadcast colour bars rather than a Pantone system, theres plenty of info on the web regarding this . . and why.

LCD TV as a broadcast monitor?

Hi all,
Was planning on buying a Cinema Display to do a 3 display setup:
1 - Macbook Pro - library/media
2 - Apple Cinema Display - timeline
3 - LCD flatscreen TV - monitor
Is it possible to use my LCD tv as a broadcast monitor. I`m assuming I would need to buy a ``Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter`` and daisy chain from the Cinema Display thunderbolt) to the LCD TV (HDMI).
Thanks

Sure, you can get a miniDisplayport-to-HDMI adapter to daisy-chain off the Cinema Display and it should work just fine.
LCD TV as client monitor.
Client? If these people are paying you money, shouldn't you guarantee how it's going to look? I guess it depends on your approach to your business, but what if the client is looking at the client monitor and asks you to adjust a certain color or brightness? How do you know if you're really giving them what they're asking for?
The issue is not whether you broadcast or upload. It's just that broadcast standards (i.e.REC 709) are also references for people doing quality work on the web.

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,
Sasi

Hi Gurus,
Can you please tell me how to delete the e-mail ids that you can see when you click on a button beside recipient Email Address field?
Please give ur inputs.
Thanks,

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
Mario

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

HOW to temporarily use Broadcast monitoring work on snow leopard OS X v10.6.8 for FINAL CUT PRO X

thx,macmacmac give me prompt.He had an interesting trick for getting the OS X Lion 'only' plugin to work on Snow Leopard
To install the plugin on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 you have to temporarily change your system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
1. Go to HD:/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
2. Copy the file to the Desktop
3. Open the original with a text editor and change the string value of 'ProductVersion' and 'ProductUserVisibleVersion' to '10.7.2'.
4. Save & Overwrite.
I suddenly thought Apple said that Broadcast monitoring work on Lion OS X v10.7.3.I change system version number at once! Changing 10.6.8 snow leopard system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
ok,no problem. Restart final cut pro x,A/V output has appeared in FINAL CUT PRO X preferences and Window Menu
Enjoy it.HAHA!:cheer:

thanks for the tip fan!

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

No Signal from Timeline to External Broadcast Monitor

I've been running FCP 6.0.1 for about three months with no problems until just recently when I lost timeline signal to my external JVC broadcast monitor. Log and capture work fine and All Frames is selected in the View menu.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Tear/rupture in viewed frame on broadcast monitor

I'm new to Colour and still finding my way a bit but having completed my first project on it the biggest let down was that I could never preview my grades on my broadcast monitor without a horizontal tear (rupture) appearing across the viewed frame.
I used the cursor keys to scroll through the clips I was trying to grade, and now and again the image would resolve itself into a full frame, but more often than not the top third of the image seemed to relate to a frame two or three frames either side of where the playhead was located. This problem becomes even more pronounced when I'm trying to toggle the grade on and off.
Also, if I try and make use of the 'frame store' function that allows you to composite stored frames over your current grade in order to get maintain consistency across scenes, I end up with a kaleidoscopic effect where up to 4 different images are mashed together in an incomprehensible mess. I've tried adjusting settings in the 'frame store room' - angle and the position of the comp - but it doesn't really help.
I'm outputting at 10bit PAL to my JVC crt broadcast monitor via a Kona 3 and connecting using SDI.
Any help would be great. Thanks

I'm still not sure what your source media codec is, but it sounds as though it isn't HDV.
If there is a mis-match between the source codec and the output that you have requested, there might? be an issue -- and the basic fact that it is an nVidia card, which are infamous for not supporting anything beyond 8-bit, makes me suspicious, as well. What is listed, and as a minimum, may not afford optimum performance, to put it euphemistically.
I'm looking for ways that the media could get jumbled up, and the GPU, doing the lion's share of picture processing, is always the prime suspect. Dust for fingerprints, get a DNA sample.

do you want a broadcast monitor, a field monitor or a computer monitor, do want best or poor results, they are all different solutions?
what other methods also is their:
watch a picture on a laptop-dozens of software apps available
1 Quicktime Pro:

Can an LCD TV work as a Broadcast Monitor thru Matrox Mini for Color?

Hey guys,
since the actual Broadcast monitors are so expensive,
will an LCD tv work as a broadcast monitor thru Matrox Mini for Apple Color?
Thanks,
CJ

It's probably better than nothing. Unless it isn't. Depends on the TV. I always think it's good to view your efforts on a regular television, but because they do their own processing in an attempt to "improve" the image, it's best to take the results with a grain of salt...
