Bex Broadcasting w/Print Help Service

I need to set up BEX Broadcast that will process a web template, then run the Print Help Service, and finally send the output (print formatted) to an email distribution list.
How can I set up either the web template or the broadcaster so that it will include the call to the print help service in it's command stream when scheduled through the broadcaster?
Thanks

Audrey,
usually, you don't attach "modify_class" to the URL CMD, rather it needs to be attached to the object tag of the "item".
Once it is attached to the object tag, you just need to attach "help_serivce" class & the "item" to the URL CMD.
I've included a few lines of sample code here. Hope it helps.
<object>
<param name="HELP_SERVICE" value="ZPRINTING"/>
<param name="MODIFY_CLASS" VALUE = "ZCL_TABLE_ENHANCE">
ITEM: TABLE_1
</object>
<A href="JavaScript:window.open(SAP_BW_URL_Get() + '&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&help_service=ZPRINTING&item=TABLE_1');" >

Variant selection missing in BEx Broadcaster

I've created workbook in BEx Analyzer (2004s). Workbook has selection screen. I also created variants for workbook. I then went into BEx Broadcaster to distribute workbook. I don't see option to select variant that I created in Analyzer under workbook precalculation tab. I see only option for variable assignment which ask me to create new assignment.
I've used information broadcasting 3.5. It has option to enter variant under pre-calculation tab. Any idea why this option is missing in 70 BEx Broadcaster.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Milind

Bex Broadcasting Help!!!

Hello
I'm trying to scheule a report in BEX broadcaster with a predefined time. Eg: Every Wed day after Fisc quarter ends. I created a job with name TP_BROADCASTING_**** and included the ABAP program in step :RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINT.
Now In the start condition I selected start date as wed day after fisc qtr close and put the period value as every 3 months and restriction in cal Id as factory calendar.
First one is : I logged in to Broadcaster and created new setting for query and filled all recipents etc...now When I tried to schedule , I can not see my Quarterly pre defined time here...I could see all other pre defined though... Do I need to include this job i created in Process chains ?
Second one:...How can I select just wed nesday after the fisc quarter close ? Is there a std SAP exit variable exist for this ? Or do I need to create one and write ABAP code in Exit ?
Please advice ...

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 - Page cannot be displayed

Hi Experts,
I am quite new to Broadcasting. I am facing with this problem. From the Query Designer, I try to publish the query, a window open and tries to open a page, but after some time it loses the fight and shows the age old page with this message Page cannot be displayed. Any clue why this is happening. Is there any service(BEx Service or something like that) that goes down which needs to restarted?
Assured expression of gratitude through points.

Manesh

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Many have had issues, many have had success. The only way to diagnose is with details..."it will not sync correctly" only leaves us to guess. Here are some details that might help:
1) Your BB Desktop Software version -- all 4 octets please
2) Your BB OS level -- again, all 4 octets
3) Your carrier/country
4) What, exactly, happens when you try to sync? Can you configure and not sync? Can you not configure? Are there error messages? Details please to help us to help you.
Good luck and let us know!

Some Insights-
The PDF printing can be done from a BEx Web Application, BEx Web Analyzer, or BEx Report Designer. There are no current plans to make this available in the BEx Analyzer.
From the BEx Analyzer, you can use the "launch in web" functionality to then initiate print to PDF.
Hope it Helps

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.

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:

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...

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 is disabled in BEx Analyzer

Dear all,
The BEx Broadcaster function in the BEx Analyzer is disabled. It works fine in the Query Designer. Is there any one know how to enable it or is there any configuration that I should do?

Look into the SAP Help.
"The Broadcaster option is only visible when a workbook is open. If you only open a query in the BEx Analyzer, this broadcasting option is not available."

OS XP Operation could not be completed. "The print spooler service is not running what to do?

I've used this printer since 2009 no problems. Added MS Office Home/Student 2010 and added Publisher 2010. When I try to add printer I get this message: "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running. In trouble shooting with "?" get an error Server error 403.
I've uninstalled and installed the last 2 days, over 16 hours. I'm on an Acer Netbook (10" screen). What do I do to fix this. I even tried System Restore and still does not work.

Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.
