BEx Broadcasting through e-mail

Dear Gurus,
I have a situation where, we are supposed to broadcast reports  every month to the users e-mail.
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

  • 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 .

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Can't send mail via BEx Broadcasting

    Hi all,
    I am willing to broadcast some reports I've created via the BEx Broadcaster.
    When opening a query in the Query Designer and selecting Publish - Broadcasting I am able to configure a new broadcasting diffusion option. But when I try to execute it, I get this message:
    Erreur from type DNS_SREQ while sending document ORDERS_RANK4.mht
    I tried sending different formats but still doesn't work.
    Is there something to activate under SAP to allow broadcasting ?
    Thanks alot for any clues that will be point rewarded.

  • 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.

  • Text valriable in Query Description is not working in Bex Broadcaster

    Hello Experts,
    I am using Bex broadcaster setting to displaying Query Description through text variable availabe as <OBJECT_DESCRIPTION> in subject of boradcasted mail.
    In Query Description I have used text variable at the end to display previous month/year i.e "Report &ZPREV&" .
    Text variable with description is working fine in RSRT/ Analyzer, I am able to see description as "Report 201012" but the same description displays "Report &ZPREV&" in the subject line of broadcasted mail i.e. text variable is not getting assigned with desired value and technical name appears.
    Thanks,

    this problem may arise due to non-assignment of text variable to the any of the characteristics you using the  year so, REFER THE TEXT VARIABLE TO THE FISCAL YEAR . WHICH IS IN  TIME CHARACTERISTICS.
    HAVE YOU CREATED ANY OFFSET VARIABLE,  CREATE A VARIABLE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR  AND CREATE OFFSET TO THE VARIABLE AS -1 THEN  YEAR  WILL YEAR-1   ,   THE TEXT VARIABLE YOU CREATED WILL REFER TO THE FISCAL YEAR SO THE  PREVIOUS YEAR VALUE OF THE TEXT VARIABLE WILL THE YEAR = YEAR - 1.

  • Broadcasting through process chains

    How to broadcast reports to indivdual mailboxs in the company through process chains. say current data should be broadcasted into individual email account every time a new sales order or purchase order is created or by the end of the day , it should automatically trigger the mail with the report. can anyone help on this.

    Hi,
    Here see the blog details.
    The goal of information broadcasting is to distribute the right information, in the appropriate format, to the right people, through different channels, at the right time.
    With the BEx Broadcaster, you can precalculate queries, query views, Web templates, reports and workbooks and broadcast them by e-mail or to the portal. In addition to the precalculated documents in various formats (HTML, MHTML, ZIP and so on) that contain historical data, you can also generate online links.
    Accessing the Broadcaster
    The broadcaster can also be accessed via the Portal through the delivered BI Role.
    You can determine the Scheduling for Information Broadcaster
    Based on a data change event triggered by a process chain.
    Based on a pre-defined time point.
    Freely definable scheduling.
    Steps to Schedule Information Broadcaster based on a data change event triggered by a process chain
    Create the Query in the Query Designer.
    Execute the report in the BEx Web Analyzer.
    Click on u201CSendu201D to create the settings for broadcasting.
    The Broadcast Wizard takes you through a series of prompts where you supply the key information required to develop a broadcast. At any time you can leave the Wizard and use the standard settings dialogs which offer more settings.
    Then schedule the broadcast. If you start the Broadcaster for a query (or template or workbook) that gets data from an InfoProvider that will be selected in the process chain, you can select the InfoProvider for Scheduling.
    Create the process chain and include the event data change, include process type "Trigger Event Data Change (for Broadcaster), itu2019s available under "Load Process and Post -Processing".
    The Process Chain is created including the process types: (1) Start (2) Execute InfoPackage (3) Delta Data Transfer Process (4) Activate DSO (5) Trigger Event data Change.
    When you create the Variant for the Event Data Change, using checkbox we can indicate when the Broadcast should trigger.
    As soon as that InfoProvider is affected by a Process Chain, the Broadcasting is triggered.
    After successful activation you can now schedule your chain. Press button u201CScheduleu201D or menu u201CExecution -> scheduleu201D. The chain will be scheduled as background job. You can see it in SM37. You will find a job named u201CBI_PROCESS_TRIGGERu201D. Unfortunately every process chain is scheduled with a job with this name. In the job variant you will find which process chain will be executed. During execution the steps defined in RSPCPROCESSCHAIN will be executed one after each other. The execution of the next event is triggered by events defined in the table.  You can watch SM37 for new executed jobs starting with u201CBI_u201D or look at the protocol view of the chain.
    You can monitor the Broadcaster from the SOST transaction.
    Note:
    Depending on authorizations, end-users can schedule their Broadcasting Settings.
    Only for those queries which are checked "Execution with Data Change in the Infoprovider" while you schedule, will be triggered by process chain event.
    You may wish to refer the Note on Settings for Information Broadcasting- 760775
    Hope this help you
    Regards,
    Rakesh
