  • Help in Finding BEx Broadcasting Settings

    We recently refreshed our Sandbox environment with a copy of our Dev environment.  We use Information Broadcasting.  When someone opens a Workbook in BEx in our Sandbox environment and clicks "Distribute Workbook", they are prompted with the Broadcaster logon screen for our Dev environment and not Sandbox.  This makes sense, since we copied our Dev environment.  How do we change the settings so that the Broadcaster connects to Sandbox?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    You need to make changes in SPRO to maintain Broadcasting Settings .

  • Bex Broadcasting settings for a PDF Layout

    Hi,
    I had a Query with Area and Department as Free Chars.
    My requirement is to send a ONE PDF file with KFs at Area(Columns) and KF's at Department(columns) on a daily basis to users ....
    So i generated 2 views V1 with Area information and V2 with Department information.
    I developed a Web Template with 2 data providers DP1=V1 & DP2=V2 which are used for 2 Analysis items.
    when i executed the template is can see 2 information items area and department.As i got nearly 30 departments in template it is appearing as pages that i can navigate.
    When i scheduled the same template using Bex Braodcasted ...and i got a email as an attachment.
    But in the PDF attachment  the initial results are so small...that i need to magnify.
    But my requirment is to split the results in multiple pages so the users don't require to magnify it
    How and where can i make this settings
    Thanks

    Hmmm. no problem, but I'm not sure where to post this... I think everything gets Distilled and that's part of Acrobat. I don't see a Distiller Forum....
    I'll try a Photoshop..?...
    Thanks

  • 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..

  • 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...

  • Broadcasting settings scheduling

    Hi,
    I was asked by a user who is creating settings for a query in the BEx Broadcaster if there is a report/table or some other tool to check the scheduling that he has set up for the hundreds of settings that he has created or has yet to create, instead of looking at the scheduling for each setting individually.
    Thanks,
    John

    Use transaction SCOT.  Goto Utilities -> Overview of send orders.  This will show you all sent and awaiting mails.  Dependent on how often Basis have set your send mail (GOTO -> Utilities -> Send Mail) frequency, any waiting jobs will have message number 672, otherwise they should all end up with message 73.

  • Transfer Broadcaster settings from 3.0 to 7.0

    Recently BEx has been upgraded from 3.0 to 7.0.  Is there a way to display broadcaster settings from 7.0 that were created in 3.0?  Or transfer them to 7.0?  I have multiple broadcaster settings created in 3.0 and I want to transfer them to 7.0 to be able to use the email option as an attachment.
    Thanks

    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

  • 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 exception in GET_DATA_PROVIDER while START_BROADCASTER

    Hi All,
    I am very new to SAP and first time using BEx 3.5 Web Application Designer (WAD). I have no background about how they communicate with each other and also how ABAP programs are related to Web Items. Need some help.
    In my project, the requirement is to call broadcaster in directly new wizard by clicking on one button. (The new wizard is same as the one which we can see after clicking on 'create new settings with wizard' option of broadcaster template)
    I am using following command URL:-
    <A href="<SAP_BW_URL CMD='START_BROADCASTER' SOURCE_TEMPLATE='0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE' SOURCE_DATA_PROVIDER='DP' START_WIZARD='X' DISTRIBUTION_TYPE='MAIL' >"   target=_Blank>
    I am getting following error:-
    Exception condition "UNKNOWN" raised.
    The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
    The ABAP call stack was:
    Method: GET_DATA_PROVIDER of program CL_RSR_WWW_PAGE===============CP
    Method: SET_ITEM of program CL_RSRD_WWW_ITEM_BROADCASTER==CP
    Method: INIT of program CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM===============CP
    Method: CREATE of program CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM===============CP
    Method: SET_ITEM of program CL_RSR_WWW_PAGE===============CP

    Method: INIT of program CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM===============CP
    Method: CREATE of program CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM===============CP
    Method: SET_TEMPLATE of program CL_RSR_WWW_PAGE===============CP
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "CL_RSR_WWW_PAGE===============CP" -
      in "GET_DATA_PROVIDER".
    Any suggestions why do I get this? Also, is there any document which will guide me about information broadcaster in detail like what are the templates/abap classes associated with it, what is the general flow of process etc.
    Also, We want the technical name should be auto generated while creating new settings. How do we achieve it? And, how do we populate email Id of the current user in email field? We want to use distribution type=MAIL.
    Experts, please see if you can help me in any of this.
    Thanks,

    Is Dealer a licensed user in BI system?If it is Make Dealer as Authorization relevant and add role with authorization object with dealer specific values.In Broadcaster u have option user-specific which will send only authorized value to delaer e-mail,here one broadcaster setting automates all the active dealers in system.If Dealer is not authorization relevant create 10 queries each query restricted to that delaer value and create 10 broadcaster settings.But this is last option if Dealer is not licensed in the system again this needs lot of effort and in terms of maintenance it gets worse.

  • How to use the bex broadcasting to send emails

    Hi Gurus,
    i made a web report, in this report , i have to send an email to some directions based in what characteristic get the value = 1,
    example:
           KF
    x=    1        send email to   pp@....
    y=    1        send email to   gg@....
    The web report is ready, now how can i use the bex broadcasting to do this funtion, please step by step, i'll really appreciate it! thanks !

    Hi Jorge,
    I am not a guru still would like to answer your query...
    You selected Broadcast by E-Mail as the distribution type when you created the broadcast setting then need to send to your systems administrator, he is the one who is responsibile to make this if and then functions coordinate with him-> Various settings need to be made in system administration in order to use information broadcasting. Furthermore, there are a number of broadcast functions that can be made by business experts and in system administration.
    If you want to guide him then.. when you make the precalculations for setting the broadcast there in Variable Assignment you can mention this as a formula
    Variable Assignment: You can create values for the BI objectu2019s input-ready variables (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated using these variable values. These variable values are set whenever an online link is opened.
    Take from Variant: You can select from a variant for the BI object (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated with the values of the variant. These variable values are set in accordance with the variant whenever an online link is opened
    To be honest I think Basis should help you trace where exactly to mention such request...
