BEx Broadcasting through e-mail, using dynamic variant

Dear SAP Gurus,
I'm new to SAP-BI, I came across the following situation:
I've a query based on which the reports are being generated.
My client wants to broadcast it every month, as they don't have any portal, so it has to be done through e-mail.
the query has 3 system variable which are FISCALYEAR and CALDAY, i dont remember 3rd.
So, I've to create DYNAMIC VARIANT, I tried the following procedure but its not working.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9075b11a-6e43-2c10-b7be-cfa0e97ec0cc?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
please help me.

Hi shivsam ,
1. What you need is dynamic filling the variant value.
2. In transaction SE38 enter the variant name
3.choose the attributes button.
4. Here you can set the field to u201Cselection variable.u201D
5.Then you can define something like SY-DATUM(4) for fiscal year and in the same way for calday SY-DATUM+6(2) .
Hope this will help .

BEx Broadcasting through e-mail

Dear Gurus,

Report has to be broadcasted to different users with different Cost Centers .
I have 3 selections for the report of which 2 selections are populated through CMOD and one is user i/p.
We dnt have EP so this has to be done through BEX .
thanks in advance.
regards,
shiv.

I also face same situation in my past project, We can broadcast BEx Report to user.
1. Inform Basis team to includ yours and User's Mail ID in their there BW ID using SU01
2. Then tell Basis to do necessory configuration to Broadcast report using SICF and SCOT transaction.

3. Then inform Mail Server Administrator to necessory configuration in Mail Server for same
4. Use RSRT in BW side to make setting to schedule boradcasting of report better select Online Link Option

Using dynamic variants in ABAP

Hi,
I have an issue. I want to use dynamic variants in my program. On the selection screen of my program, I have a parameter called Planning date which takes in the current week of the year as input value, i.e lets say today we are Monday 14th of May 2007, so the current week is 20. I want to make this parameter dynamic, i.e to change automatically so that next week the value is week 21.
Also is setting dynamic variants version dependent? My version is 5.0 SR1 and I don't have the option of save my variant using the 'D' traffic signal.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Hi,
you can fill your parameter in the initialization event of your report. In order to get the week you can use the function DATE_GET_WEEK.

Hi,
Sending mails is possible by using the feature M0001. This is to be coded in the dynamic action depending on the requirement with function code "M".

Hi,
In dynamic actions there is an option for calling sub-routine from any program or subroutine pool. So u can make subroutine for sending mail according to ur requirement. An call on th same from dynamic actions.
if u want sample code for this, pls let me know.

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

SAP BI - Information Broadcast through E-mail.

Hello,
I am facing issue with information broadcasting.
I set up a Broadcast setting,
1) Distribution type: Broadcast Email
2) Output format: MHTML as Zip file
3) Variable assignment: determine here
4) Filter navigation: No filter
5) scheduled monthly
When i broadcast the report, the user receives the e-mail with the Zip file.
But when he open the file he is not able to see the data (though there is data in the system)
                                                      email send
Bex report -
> BI System -
> user (user receives the email but cannot see data)
This occurs for different users. But the user in the past has received e-mail with data.
Please help me in understanding this.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Hey there,
Have you checked the SAP Notes mentioned below:
Note 958314 Broadcasting: Limitations for the MHT format
         772246 Display of MHTML mail incorrect
Also, it would be advisable to run the support desktool from Note 937697. If you find any RED errors, try to correct them using the suggestions given (see right-hand side). This checks the communication configuration between systems and platforms and may highlight errors which would affect the broadcasting of emails.
Hope this helps!

Reading Mail through Java Mail using IMAP

I searched this clas in the all the jar in the java mail api.Appreciate your earlier help

I assume you're not actually trying to use NTLM authentication.
A bug in JavaMail 1.4.3 can cause failures related to NTLM in some cases, although I don't think
it should show up as the failure you're seeing. To work around, set the session property
"mail.imap.auth.ntlm.disable" to "true".
If that doesn't solve your problem, make sure you don't have more than one set of JavaMail
classes in your CLASSPATH.

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.

Chathia.

Not able to open BEx Broadcaster after BW 7.4 Upgrade

Hi BW Gurus,
I am getting the error as shown below while trying to open the BEx Broadcaster. Please refer below for the step by step procedure.
This is seen after the BW 7.4 Upgrade. It was working perfectly till 7.3. Please guide me is there is any setting has to be changed.
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.
I am not able to open the BEx Broadcaster through the Query Designer after the 7.4 Upgrade. The steps of my activity include :
     1. Open BEx Query Designer
     2. Open an existing query which needs to be broadcasted.
     3. Publish -> BEx Broadcaster.

Sure...
I think if you go thru transaction SNOTE, you can download and see a PDF of a KBA.
But I always access via market place (which is exactly the same steps of SAP notes):
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/<note number>
or
https://service.sap.com/notes and seach with the KBA number.
Cheers!

BEx broadcaster error NF_ADR

Dear community,
does anyone have an idea what is wrong when i get the following error when i execute BEx broadcaster to send me a report via email:
"Error of type NF_ADR occurred sending document DUMMY.mht "
The steps i took to get to this error:
ran Bex broadcaster from query designer, used the wizzard to setup broadcasting, save the settings, and hit execute, then i get this in a separate window.
Juraj.

Hi,
Most likely the email addresses that are maintained in the settings are incorrect. They do not exist or the is a spelling mistake or the convention is wrong i.e missing '@' symbol or has ',' instead of '.'
This is particularly common in bursting where it is not immediately obvious that the email address is wrong so in this case check the email addresses maintained in the master data of the characteristic.
I hope this helps.
regards,
Michael

Going to portal while calling BEx Broadcaster

System gets me to the portal while I calling BEx Broadcasting through Query Designer or Analyzer. Why?? I don't need portal, I want distribute my report by email.

You're connecting to the portal, since the broadcaster is part of the portal. You'll after connection access to the broadcaster options.

Redwood Cronacle - dynamic variants

Would like to better understand dynamic variants. I have looked in Cronacle on-line help and cannot find anything there. Only information I have is that is needed to run RSI_GENERATE_VARIANT and then in a job chain...
step 1 to set the variant using generated script and
step 2 to executes the ABAP using template or imported script
Would like to obtain better understanding of what situations one would use dynamic variants in and maybe short list of steps to do to acccomplish same.
Best Regards,
Dean Atteberry.

Hello Dean,
Yes indeed, there is no help available for dynamic variants in Redwood. Dynamic variants are those variants that are dynamically picked up from the SAP database. They are supposed to be automatically generated nightly via job RSI_GENERATE_VARIANTS. Unfortunately in Redwood, it often fails on individual jobs.

Dynamically population of variables with use of variants in I Broadcasting

Hi all,
In broadcasting I have to include few reports.
Suppose one report is having variable screen where 5 mandatory variable are there. Here one variable is 0calday suppose which has to be filled dynamically.
Is it possible by using variant.
If yes please send step by step process and if not what could be the other method?
Am using BW 3.5.
Thanks,
Uday.

Hi Uday,
To achieve this,you can create one more variant with the specific variable values (which ever you want) and pass it during broadcasting.
The step by step process for Broadcasting with variant is...
With 7.x Tools:
1.Open a report(workbook) in a tool(Eg:BEx Analyzer) and invoke Broadcaster(Tools->BEx Broadcaster...)
2.Click "Create New Setting"
3.Distribution Type "Broadacast to Email" and Output Format as "MS Excel Workbook" (This depends on your own need)
4.Update the "Recipient" and "Text" tab details
5.Click "Workbook Precalculation" tab and Select the variant for the Variable Assignment
6.Select the Precalculcation Server
7.Save the Setting and Click "Execute"
This will send a report mail to the mentioned receipient based on the selected variant through Precalculation Server

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.
