Hi,
You can see all the transmissions in T-code SOST. In that u can see what reports are being broadcasted and which were failed/succeeded. go through it and let me know.

Broadcasting queries with no data

Good morning everyone,
I'm trying to update my company's broadcast system, and I'd like to know if it's possible not to send broadcasts when queries return no data, using the new authorization concept (or not).
Thanks in advance.
BR,
Rogério

Yes..
When you schedule a broadcast job say run of settings with daily schedule at specific time, it runs a ABAP program (standard), which picks up all the settings and starts processing.
For ever setting, it needs to run respective queries, create the report and further deliver.
In this process after running the query, you can will be able to find the number of records returned.
Coz running a query is nothing but running bunch of SQL statements in backend. Definitely ABAP stack does it and you can as well see it in RSRT.
But debugging that level of code to get exact point and further customize it is great challenge even for skilled ABAPers.
I don't see any other way unless somebody responds.

Authorization Issue when Broadcasting a Web Template

Hello All,
we want to broadcast a WebTemplate as an Online Link.
The User can Broadcast Queries and so on without issues.
But when they try to send a WebTemplate, they get an Authorization Error RSRD 003.
"You do not have authorization to display the requested object (for example, Web template, query....). Thats why it is also not possible to load broadcast settings into the broadcaster for the object."
It is not clear for me as the users are not allowed to schedule broadcast settings, but they can send ad hoc.
So what can I do?
Your help would be welcome

Hi,
Please try this for this issue.
Authorization error: Notification Number RSRD 003
If your issue is workbook based and you run..
TX: rsrt2
cmd=start_broadcaster70&source_workbook=GX9JCKH3ZSHN4PFAMG45QEBMJ
and get an authorization error: Notification Number RSRD 003
Then you do not have the correct role assigned to your test user to see this workbook
if this is the case proceed as follows:
in tx: se37
function module..... RSBB_WORKBOOK_AGR_GET
select the test icon
enter your workbook id in the field: wkbid
execute
double click on the entry
result= the missing role
The missing role is the one that you need to assign to your test user to be able to proceed.

Broadcasting

Hi
i have a requirement where in we need to execute the report in the background and email the output to the several users
As per my knowledge we have something called information broadcasting that can be used.
1. Is it mandatory to have pre-calculation server to execute the reports in the background and broadcast via email to the users.
2. Pre calculation server to be installed on the BI server or Where?
3. When i execute the report in the bex analyzer, and in tools>Bex broadcaster is disabled. But when i execute the workbook, tools> Bex broadcaster is enabled.
Why is it disable for queries?
4. What are the customizations settings to be done before starting information broadcasting?
5. Difference between information broadcasting and BEx Broadcaster?
Thanks
Annie

Hi Annie,
Please find below answers to your questions.
As per my knowledge we have something called information broadcasting that can be used. -Right
1. Is it mandatory to have pre-calculation server to execute the reports in the background and broadcast via email to the users. NO, Precalculation servers are required to precalculate workbooks. If you are broadcasting queries you dont require precalculation server
2. Pre calculation server to be installed on the BI server or Where? You can install it on the server or on any client.Its better to have it on theserver for administration ease and for maintainability.Also installing it on server will ensure it is always online.
3. When i execute the report in the bex analyzer, and in tools>Bex broadcaster is disabled. But when i execute the workbook, tools> Bex broadcaster is enabled.
Why is it disable for queries?
You are right.Dont know why queries do not allow direct navigation to broacasting from BEx analyzer. However, you can call the broadcaster from query designer
4. What are the customizations settings to be done before starting information broadcasting?
Chec, configuration part in the link below. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/55/1b9940ccd42a54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
5. Difference between information broadcasting and BEx Broadcaster?
I think, they are the same
Hope it helps,
Best regards,

Query mass Broadcasting to fill OLAP cache

Hi,
I have +- 50 relative small queries that I'd like to precalculate each night (push them to the OLAP cache) as these queries are displayed together in one KPI dashboard.
I know the Bex Broadcaster is the tool that should be used but at this moment I don't know any way to schedule the precalculation for ALL queries in mass. Is there a way to Broadcast queries in mass via a certain program or via any other means?
Putting them in one workbook is an option (and having this workbook precalculated) but I was wondering if there are any other solutions ?

I have now been investigating mass broadcasting via :
1 one workbook with several queries integrated
1 webtemplate with several queries integrated
But both alternatives don't offer the option "Fill OLAP Cache" in the Bex Broadcaster. It seems this is only selectable when you start the Broadcaster for one individual query ? So my conclusion is that you need to make a settings for all queries individually ? Or is there a way to change the distribution method for webtemplates ? Quite a big dissapointment for me anyway...

Error in display of Turkish Characters in BEx Report

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue while running one of reports in BEx in place of Turkish Characters i am getting #.whereas same report if run over Web is giving Turkish characters showing "I" in place of #.
Please provide any pointers on this.
Thanks
Nilesh

As mentioned above - check the OSS notes - this problem is one of the main reasons for upgrading a BEx front end to 7 or moving to the web
However there is a workaround - you can broadcast queries in xls format and email them - this gets around the problem - but no user interaction is possible and you cannot format the xls (is you wanted to format the xls you would use the precalc service but this then would turn the characters back into #)

WDS PXE Uefi not working in AD integrated mode, TFTP to slow

Dear all
1 Physical host: W2k12R2, 1 Hyper-V virtual switch.
1 Hyper-V VM with W2k12R2 DC with DNS, DHCP, WDS.
1 Empty Hyper-V VM Generation 2 UEFI booting from network.

I verified that it works when WDS is set-up to standalone mode. See also:

Cause (found by Netmon IP traffic monitoring):
The Client asks for the TFTP Server on UDP port 4011.
The TFTP Server takes more than 8 seconds to reply on port 4011.
This seems to be due to NbtNs (Netbios name search) broadcast queries searching for 1C Domain Controllers.
Solution: ???????
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Dominique, Zürich, Switzerland.,
You can also create a virtual machine to act as a client machine when building and testing your deployment images. This is especially useful for building your custom images.
Note, however, that the performance will often be degraded, particularly during the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) download phase. This phase is very resource-intensive and may fail if insufficient resources are available on your server running Hyper-V,
could you use the physical computer then configure the same settings then monitor this issue again.

Reporting Agent will be only supported in the 3.X runtime in 2004s,start using Bex Broadcaster.Reporting agent is going to be obsolete or is would say.
All the new functionalities will be implemented in Broadcaster only.
Advantage -The old Reporting Agent in BW 3.x could pre-calculate the data of a template and access it through the URL . It could not broadcast queries, workbooks or web templates by email or to KM folders.

Types of web reports

Hi gurus,
What are the types of web reports we have? Where do you specify them, Is it some sort of property setting?
i'll asign points.
regards
priya

Hi,
   Web application design, with the BEx Web Application Designer as its main tool, allows you to use generic OLAP navigation for your BI data in Web applications as well as in business intelligence cockpits for simple or highly individual scenarios. Web application design comprises a broad spectrum of Web-based business intelligence scenarios, which you can adjust to meet your individual needs using standard Web technologies.
Features
The following figure shows how the Web Application Designer is integrated into the function landscape and tool landscape of the Business Explorer:
You can use this BEx Web Application Designer, the desktop application used to create Web applications, to generate HTML pages that contain BI-specific contents such as tables, charts or maps. These objects, which retrieve BI data from a data provider and place it in a Web application as HTML, are known as Web items. For more information about the Web items available, see Web Items. Web Applications are based on Web Templates that you create and edit in the Web Application Designer. You can save the Web templates and access them from the Web Browser or the portal. Once they have been executed in the Web, Web templates are known as Web Applications.
Business Explorer Web application design allows you to create highly individual scenarios with user-defined interface elements by using standard markup languages and the Web design API. You can adjust and enhance the Web templates (the HTML pages that determine the structure of Web applications) on an individual basis. For more information on this, see Web Design API.
The BEx Web Application Designer is a desktop application for creating Web applications with BI-specific content. Using the BEx Web Application Designer, you can create an HTML page containing BI-specific content such as various tables, charts, or maps. This HTML page (Web application) is the basis not only for Web applications with complex interaction, but also for Web cockpits and iViews.
The command wizard and pattern wizard are integral parts of the Web Application Designer. Using the command wizard, you can easily generate commands from the Web Design API and include them in your Web template. Using the pattern wizard, you can configure BI patterns to a certain extent and tailor them to meet your needs.
The initial view of the BEx Web Application Designer has four different screen areas in addition to the menu and toolbars.
      Web Items Screen Area
      Web Template Screen Area
      Properties Screen Area
      Error and Warnings Screen Area
Applications with the BEx Web Application Designer. For more information about creating Web applications, see Creating Web Applications.
You can adjust the appearance of the Web Application Designer to meet your requirements. The object on which you are working, namely the Web template, is handled differently from the tools and help windows with which you are working.
      You can show and hide the individual screen areas and toolbars using the View menu option.
      You can reposition the three toolbars and the Web Items and Properties windows as required. Depending on where you reposition the object, it is either anchored or appears freely as a toolbox.
      Since the Web Application Designer is a Multiple Document Interface Application (MDI Application), you can open and manage different windows with Web templates simultaneously. You can use the Window menu option to arrange the windows differently: cascading (overlapping), vertical, or horizontal.
Using the BEx Web Application Designer, you can create a BEx Web application (an HTML page with BI-specific content) easily.
       1.      Creating a Web template
The Web template is the starting point for creating a Web application. The Web template is an XHTML document that is used to define the structure of a Web application. It contains placeholders for Web items, data providers, and commands. A Web template becomes a Web application when the data is displayed in the Web browser.
During the design process, you change the Web template by embedding placeholders for Web items and data providers. You can keep track of these changes in the XHTML view.
To create a new Web template, choose Web Template ® New in the Web Application Designer menu bar. You can also create Web templates from the Select Web Template window. Choose Create New Web Template.
       2.      Setting the data binding/selection of the data provider
The data for your Web items is provided by data providers that you create in the Web Application Designer. You can assign a data provider to multiple Web items. The data provider concept makes it possible to change the data source of a Web item easily. If a particular data provider is assigned to more than one Web item, any changes made affect all the assigned Web items. By means of navigation (by changing the drilldown), the Web item always displays the current drilldown data.
A data provider is a dynamic object that returns current data for one or more Web items at runtime. You define the start view of the data provider by selecting a query or a query view. For more information about data providers, see Data Providers in BI Applications.
There are several ways to create data providers:
          a.      In the Data Provider section in the Web Items screen area
           i.       Select whether you want to create a data provider of type Filter or type Query View, and drag the corresponding line into the lower data provider section of the Web template screen area. The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears.
           ii.       Assign a name to the data provider and make the remaining settings required.
In the dropdown box beneath the name field, you can also select or change the data provider type.
           b.      Using the New Data Provider symbol in the lower data provider section of the Web Template screen area
           i.       Double-click to choose New Data Provider. The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears.
           ii.       Proceed as described under a. ii.
            c.      Using the General tab page in the Properties screen area
You can only use this option if you have already inserted a Web item into your Web template.
             i.       In the header of the properties screen area, select the Web item for which you want to create a data provider.
             ii.       On the General tab page, choose New Data Provider. The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears.
The data provider is assigned to the selected Web item. You can also create more than one data provider, as described under c. The data providers are listed in the dropdown box under Assigning Data Providers. This enables you to assign a different data provider to the selected Web item.
The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears under data provider: . You can modify or change the settings for the data provider here.
When you have created a data provider, it is assigned to the inserted Web item. Assigning depends on the order of the data providers in the inner structure of the Web template. See also 4.a.
       3.      Adding a Web item
The Web items in the Web Items screen area serve as templates. By dragging a Web item into your Web template, you create an actual version of the Web item; this is called an object. The Web item has a name and certain other default parameters that you can change as required (see also 4.).
You see the changes in the XHTML view. A Web item tag for the Web item and a data provider tag for the data provider (assuming you have created a data provider) were integrated into the XHTML as placeholders. Change the name of the Web item and assign a data provider to it. In the XHTML view, you can see that your settings have been written to the Web item tag. The layout you choose is also applied in the XHTML.
                            a.      Drag a Web item from one of the Web item groupings Standard, Extended, or Miscellaneous in the Web Items screen area to the Web template by using drag and drop. The Web item appears in the Web template.
Underneath the selection area for Web items and data provider maintenance, you see the help area, which provides explanations for the Web items and data providers. To display the texts for a Web item, select the Web item by double-clicking with the secondary mouse button. To hide the texts, proceed in the same way. When you hide the display of texts and select a Web item by single-clicking it, a quick info is displayed for the Web item.
                          b.      If you want to rename the inserted Web item, proceed as follows:
In the Properties screen area, choose Rename Web Item to the right of the dropdown box in which the inserted Web items are listed. Name the Web item by overwriting the default text under Name in the Properties screen area next to the dropdown box in which the inserted Web items are listed.
       4.      Specifying the properties of the Web item
                            a.      In the Properties screen area, choose the General tab page to make or change the assignment of a data provider for the corresponding Web item. See also 2.
                            b.      Choose the Web Item Parameters tab page to set the parameters for the selected Web item.
You can also set the parameters for the Chart Web item using the Edit Chart dialog box. Choose Edit in the context menu of the Chart Web item or Edit Chart in the Internal Display parameter grouping of the Chart Web item. For more information, see Editing Charts.
       5.      Adding additional Web items
To insert additional Web items, repeat steps 3 and 4.
     When you insert additional Web items using Insert ® Web Item, pay attention to where you position the cursor in your Web template. The cursor position determines where the new Web item is inserted. See also Designing the Layout of Web Templates. When you insert Web items using drag and drop, the position of the cursor is irrelevant.
      Make sure that you set the data binding and any Web item-specific parameter settings for the correct Web item. To make settings for a Web item, select the Web item in the layout view. In the header of the Properties window, the system displays the Web item for which you can change the settings. As an alternative to selecting the individual Web items, you can use the dropdown box to toggle between the attributes of individual Web items.
       6.      Designing a Web template layout
In the Web Application Designer, you create your Web template in the same way you do in various XHTML editors. See also Designing the Layout of Web Templates.
       7.      Changing the Web template properties
                            a.      To change the default properties of the Web template, select the Web template from the dropdown box in the Properties screen area.
                            b.      Choose the Web Template Parameters tab page, where you can change the parameter settings for the Web template.
For more information, see Web Template Properties.
       8.      Saving and executing the Web template
You execute the Web template in the Web browser (portal). The Web template becomes a Web application, which means the template is saved on the Application Server for ABAP and a URL is generated for this Web application.
At runtime (triggered by calling the URL), the BI tags are replaced by corresponding HTML with the information determined by the Web item and data provider settings. When this is done, the Web template on the Application Server for ABAP is accessed. Therefore, you must save your Web template before you execute it.
                            a.      To save your Web template, in the menu bar of the Web Application Designer, choose Web Template ® Save.
                            b.      Choose Web Template ® Execute to view your Web application in the browser (portal).
You must save the Web template before executing it in the Web browser. Therefore, when you execute the template, you are asked to save it if you have not already done so.
      To assign a Web template to a role, choose Web Template ® Publish ® In Role. See also Role Maintenance.
      To copy the URL of a Web template to the clipboard, choose Web Template ® Publish ® Copy URL to Clipboard. The Web template, however, must already be saved.
      To broadcast a Web template, choose Web Template ® Publish ® BEx Broadcaster. For more information, see Precalculating and Broadcasting Queries, Query Views, Web Templates and Reports.
Result
Your Web application is started and displayed in the portal, which in turn runs in a Web browser.
If you want to print your Web application, choose Print in the context menu for the executed Web application.
