BO scheduled reports

CA Forum: Administration
HiI need a summary statistical report about all reports in BO (BO 11.5)Is it possible to get a report consists of:1) a list of all report names that have recurring schedules set up in BO 2) who they are being emailed to?3) what the scheduled frequency is (for example. daily/weekly/monthly)4) how long the report takes to run (execution time)or something like that?any help would be appreciated.thank you

You didn't indicate which version of BO you're using. However, documentation is available here for the 4.x SDK: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27465. And sample code for various versions is available in the links here: Java SDK - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki. There is very little change from version to version, so you should be able to use the sample code no matter which version you're on. Also, if you're on 4.x, you may want to look at using the RESTful web services - there's no SDK to install on the developer's machine and it doesn't have to be recompiled if you upgrade your BO system.

Ssrs scheduled report

Hello,
Users are using a report daily which has two parameters:
@Date and @clientName
The users run this report for different month-ends manually...
This report is now scheduled to run on the 10th of every month at 2:00 am. with th efollowing parameters:
The @Date is set for the last day of the previous month.
The @ClientName is always the same. i.e. @client1
The way I have scheduled it is, say today is 21st July 2014, I placed the date 30 june 2014 into the @Date parameter.
Question:
Instead of me typing the date for the @Date parameter, i.e. 31 june 2014, how can the report do this so that it knows what @Date parameter to use when it automatically runs.
If I do not manually change the @Date parameter, then for the following month it still uses 31 june 2014 but I have to manually change the scheduled report and enter 31 july 2014 for the next run and so forth.
Remember that I do not want to change the format of the report because the users run this report too and they use different dates.
Any suggestions please?

Hi arkiboys,
According to your description, you want the report can auto type the last day of the previous month as the @Date value, rather than manually type the date. To fix this issue, we can type the last day of the previous month with expression as the default value
for the @Date. Then it automatically runs with the default date based on the date, without manually modification. For more details, please see:
Edit the report with Report Builder.
Right-click the @Date parameter to open the Report Parameter Properties dialog box.
Click Default Values in the left pane.
Specify a value with the expression below:
=dateadd("d",-day(today),today)
Users can change the date for the @Date parameter to others based on their region when he view the report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Error while scheduling report for SAP users

Hi All,
We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi All,
Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
Thanks,
Chandra

Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports

Hello --
We are on XI 3.1 with SAP BW and SSO. Some users are getting failures with this error message when they schedule a report to run:
"A database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901)."
It SEEMS as though the users are fine if they schedule the report to run immediately and have it run every hour (or less) after that. If they schedule it to run several hours from the time they are in the system, however, it looks like they begin getting failures around 8 hours after they were in the system. This would make sense from looking at the "InfoView and Central Management Console Session Management" document (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/405547f9-b840-2b10-44b5-8e17ff9e48a9&overridelayout=true) since a logon token expires after 8 hours, but since it is a scheduled report, and the user is not logged in through a browser, how is a token being passed? Is it captured and included when the report is scheduled? Would disabling logon tokens fix this issue? How is authentication handled here if they are disabled?
Thanks for any info
Casey

Hi Gurus
I am facing the exact same error.
However, we are not trying to schedule the WEBI report.
The user gets this error even when he is running on demand from the portal.
Here are the various steps tha twe have tried and still it doesnt work:
1) Refreshed and created new Universe connection
2) Bounced BOE server
3) Synced up the SSO timeout ticket to 8 hrs on all systems including BOE
4) Changed browsers
5) Removed cache, cookies etc
Please help.

Actually this is a server that grabs data sent from an Iframe and writes it down to a temp file. I open a file input stream, lock it and then use a printwriter strream to write the realyed data to the file. Any inputs as to what is wrong with the code snippet above?????

How to display "No data for yesterday" in a scheduled report on Webi

Hi All,
In Webi, I am working on scheduling reports and was asked by a user if the scheduled report on Webi can display "No data for yesterday/no orders for yesterday" when the report returns no data due to No Orders submitted or a business holiday. This sounded a good idea to me as this report only looks for previous days orders/sales and there are many instances when the report will return blank page due to no activity the day before.
Can anyone please guide me on the possibility of achieving something like this on Webi using Bex query.
Any help will be appreciated .
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi,
You can format the blocks in the report as "Hide When Empty" or "Hide When [some formula]" and have a blank cell added behind these blocks with a text "No Data for Yesterday"
Need to set the relative position and ordering for this accordingly.

Failed to schedule report in Excel format

We have successfully scheduled report in PDF format, however, we go the error message "Error in File D:\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\eagnmnsx2c5.reportjobserver\~tmp2ee063064fe000e.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing" if we select excel as schedule format.
Anyone has any idea why it's happened?
Thank you very much for your help.

Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
Any idea???
regards

Hi Manoj,
1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very large data.
2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
Hope this will help,
Anamika.

To answer your questions regarding the problem:
>Can you schedule the report successfully ?
>>Yes I was able to schedule the report successfully

Scheduling reports

Hi Experts,
I have a few questions on scheduling report runs. Background is that we need to set up some reports to be run daily and be ready when people come to work in the morning, for example daily pick list, etc.
- How do you set up this kind of daily reporting runs?
- Is this possible for "all" (most) reports in SAP?
- Can these reports be saved to a file on a harddrive/server or sent out as a file in an email?
Thank you!

Hi,
Currently, only XL Reporter supports scheduling reports. Crystal Report is planed to add this function in the near future. That is all I can tell.
Thanks,
Gordon

How to e-mail/not e-mail a scheduled report based on records returned

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way that there can be logic performed on a report that has been scheduled and ran before it gets sent via e-mail to the end users? We have scheduled reports that often end up with 0 records returned but users still get the e-mail with the report that contains 0 records. I would like to e-mail the reports only if the records returned is greater than 0.
We are on v3.1 so if there is a solution for 3.1 that would be great. If this capability exists in 4.0, that information would be very helpful as well.
Thank you for your time.
David Hellinger

Apply an event on your report.
First go to Cmc, create an event based for example on a file that should be created in certain route if the query won't return 0 rows.
Then apply this event in your report Schedule option Event.

Scheduled report corruption

Hi, we have been using BO Enterprise 11 for sometime without any problems, but recently scheduled reports are being produced with varying format issues. Sometimes a report is OK, but the next time it runs the layout of the report will be corrupted.

The problem is that, as Kappy says, the backup software cannot know the files have been corrupted. Hard drive damage - a frequent cause of corruption - can be repaired, but only an application that can read a particular file might know if it has been corrupted, and even then it might not be apparent until you notice errors in the data that the file should contain.
The only way to protect against corruption is to:
1) Keep incremental backups, like Time Machine does
2) Keep a minimum of two _completely separate_ backups
3) Use two different backup programs (I like Time Machine + [Carbon Copy Cloner|http://www.bombich.com>)
4) Archive important files periodically to CDs, DVDs or additional hard drives and store them away somewhere cool, dry and dark and don't touch them again. Note that, even stored properly, they dyes in home-burned CDs and DVDs will eventually degrade and destroy the data they contain, so don't rely on these for seriously long-term storage.

Scheduled report with sub-reports (Encapsulating page failed).

Hello Everyone
I am fairly new to reporting and SAP.
I do have a main schedule report containing 4 sub-reports in the sections and 1 sub-report in the page header.
The report runs fine in the Infoview development folder, But whenever its deployed in system_testing folder, it doesn't open and gives the following error:
"ERROR IN FILE XXX:Encapsulating page failed."
I talked to DBA to change the permission for the user, but they don't agree. since its a scheduled report, user can only access the instance of the report, not to run it.
How can I make sure that the sub-reports don't run when user opens the report.
I appreciate any help in advance
Thanks and regards
MJ

Hi All,
We have been facing the "Encapsulating page failed " error sporadic in our Crystal reports. It is not happening always.
We have tried with different user accounts, it did not help much. Also tried various suggestion from the following SAP Notes:
1536964 - Encapsulating page failed - The error change to Database error when the preference is changes
1211088 - Error message "Encapsulating Page Failed" - This is not the case with our reports, we still have some reports facing the same error without an subreports in it
1543412 - Infoview warning: "Error in File xxx : Encapsulating page failed - tried implementing the recommendation , but no help
1900672 - Error: Encapsulating page failed while viewing Crystal Reports based on stored procedures in BOXI 3.1 -- Our reports are not based on stored procedures.
We have faced this error in many different version of BOXI 3.1 like SP4.1, SP7.1, SP7.2. But the behaviour is similar. We have a clustered machine with 2 BOE servers and 2 Tomcat servers.
I have tried activating E2E tracing, but I really couldn't understand the reason for error from the logs. Our reports connect to datasource using webservices.
some information from the error traces.

Scheduled report name

Hi,
We have made a custom report for UCCX8.5, which we'd like to schedule. This report can only show the details of one CSQ, by selecting a CSQ filter. Because of this we'll need to schedule a new task for every CSQ. Here the issue arises: when I look at the scheduled reports overview, all reports have the same name: The name of the report. This makes it impossible to see which scheduled report is which. So it'll be really hard to delete or add one later.
Is there a way to change the name of the scheduled report task?
Regards,
Ruud van Strijp

This is one of a few scheduler-related limitations of the HRC. Another is that the machine running the client must be running and actively logged in for the system tray-based (i.e. not a windows service) scheduler app to trigger.
My advise on this one is to upgrade to the latest 9.0 build where you can switch from the legacy HRC client to the new Unified Intelligence Center (CUIC) reporting engine. This is a browser-based UI and was ported over from UCCE so now both products have the same reporting engine. As luck would have it, you can name the schedule when you create it with CUIC:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/intelligence_suite/intelligence_suite_902/user/guide/CUIC_BK_R4B100EB_00_reporting-app-user-guide-902_chapter_01000.html
With that said, you'll have to redo your custom report by spinning up a lab instance of CUIC Premium (not bundled with CCX) so you can create the report definition. Once you have that, you can import it into the embedded CUIC Standard instance on CCX and be good to go. The SQL stored procedure process remains unchanged.
In case you're inclined to dismiss this advice, note that HRC is EoL. In 9.0 you can pick one or the other but it's gone entirely in 10.0; CUIC only. So, it's only a matter of time before you have to cross this bridge anyways.
Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

Scheduled report issue

Hi,
I scheduled a work book with multiple worksheets in discoverer 4.1.47. After scheduling when am I opening, I found there is a sheet with no data. I checked the query from SQL inspector and its not showing the original query and its showing the below query . I normally opened the worksheet from discoverer desktop and its showing the query correctly, where as in scheduled report SQL inspector is showing the below..
Remaing all sheets are scheduled correctly.
Please let me know, why
SELECT BRVC2 as E_300, BRVC1 as E_308, BRVC3 as E214082, BRN1 as E214083, BRN2 as E214094, BRN3 as E214095, BRVC4 as E214097, BRVC5 as E214098, BRN4 as E214099, BRVC6 as E214100, BRVC7 as E214101, BRVC8 as E214103, BRVC9 as E214106, BRVC10 as E214107, BRVC11 as E214109, BRN5 as E214110, BRVC12 as E214111, BRN6 as E214112, BRN7 as E214114, BRVC13 as E214115, BRVC14 as E214116, BRD1 as E214127, BRVC15 as E214130, BRVC16 as E214131, BRVC17 as E214144, BRVC18 as E214146, BRVC19 as E215360 FROM APPS.EUL4_B100714054016Q2R1;

Hi Uma
In standard Discoverer, when you create and run a worksheet the results are created dynamically. This means that the data is only available within the session that is running the worksheet. More importantly, the data is NOT available to any other worksheet whether within that session or not. However, if you use a scheduled workbook then the results from the worksheet are held in a temporary table until you remove the results or you delete the scheduled workbook.
Tables look like this: EUL5_B060914015847Q1R1
Views look like this: EUL5_B060914015847Q1V1
Note: these temporary tables are stored within the schema of the user who owns the workbook - not within the standard EUL schema. The format of the table is as follows:
EUL5_B060914015847Q1R1 which can be broken into six separate pieces.
These pieces are as follows:
EUL5_ B YYMMDD HHMISS Q9 R9, where
EUL5_ is a fixed name
B means Batch and is a constant
YYMMDD is the date that the worksheet was run,
HHMISS is the time when the worksheet was run, the time is in the 24 hour clock format,
Q9 means this is the letter Q followed by a number - E.g. Q1, which signifies the query number. I believe Oracle have some plans to allow multiple queries but for now this is always Q1,
R9 means this is the letter R followed by a number - E.g. R1, R2 and so on. This is the run number.
Using the above logic therefore, here is your example: APPS.EUL4_B100714054016Q2R1
This means this is result set number 1 for query 2, run at 5:50:16 AM on 14th July 2010.
So if you can figure out which worksheet was scheduled and when it was run you can build a view that sits on top of the latest table to give you the latest results. Something else which adds interest here is that the column names within the table do not match the column names as in your original query. The scheduled results column names use generic names such as BRVC1, BRVC2, BRD1, BRD2, BRN1 and BRN2.
These are codes and can be interpreted as follows:
BRCV1 and BRCV2 mean Batch Result Varchar (aka string) 1 and 2,
BRD1 and BED2 mean Batch Result Date 1 and 2,
BRN1 and BEN2 mean Batch Result Number 1 and 2
In SQL, try this: SELECT * FROM APPS.EUL4_B100714054016Q2R1 - do you see anything? If yes, there is data in the result set. If no, this means Discoverer found no data when it ran the scheduled workbook.
If you have no data in the results you have to determine why. Perhaps you are pulling from a secure view using a specific responsibility that was needed get at the data? A responsibility that would be needed during the scheduled run.
Hopefully this helps
Best wishes
Michael
