Infomation Broadcasting with Email Bursting with hierarchy

Hi,
We have a scenario where based on the employee hierachy, we need to use email bursting. We have following emplyoee hierarchy.
Employee_Manager
-> Employee_1
-> Employee_2
The infocube contains data for expense made by each employee. So if employee_manager should be able to get expense incurred by employee_1, employee_2 and employee_manager.
The requirement is to send report to manager for expense made by his/her team.
This employee infoobject has the attribute as username where the email should be sent.
The problem is ->
when I run the email bursting with selection employee manager, it only sends data for employee_manager and not for employee_1 and employee_2.
So basically the email bursting does not consider hierarchy.
Any inputs is appreciated.
Thanks,
Parin Gandhi.

Hi Parin,
Hope you are doing well. It seems bit tricky. I would try by creating a hierarchy node variable & restricting that to emploeyee manager. It may help you to avoid skipping of em_1 & emp_2 from distributing report. Not sure if it helps.
Cheers,
Ramesh

Customer Broadcasting - EMail Bursting Broadcast with hierarchy

Hi,
At the moment I broadcast with the broadcast function email bursting to our customer. (single customer)
I maintained a mail adress for each customer.
Now we have a special demand.
I should broadcast to customer groups.
Customer Group is a special hierarchy level in our customer structure.
For example one customer group have 10 single customer.
So for example the customer from hierarchy level 2 should get a report with all customers in hierarchy level 3
Is it possible to work with hierarchies in the email bursting function ?
Thanks
thomas

Hi Thomas,
Im not sure by hierachy group but you could so it by role. So all customers who you assign a certain role will get a certain report.

Multiple email addresses for single characteristics in Email Bursting

Hello Experts,
We have requirement of Bursting email to external sales representative with only their relevent data.
We have used Bex Broadcaster with email Bursting as distribution type . But the problem is we have to send out
email to multiple sales reps for a particular sales rep i.e for a particular Sales rep we have to maintain multiple
email ids of sales rep and infoObj can have only 60 chars long. So I cannot put more than one email id.
Is there any work around to overcome this difficulty.
Also I could have use individula schedule but number of schedleis very high around 200.
Thanks,

I understand you issue and I dont think It can be solved in BW as they system is not expecting the users email address to be more that 60 chars, however you could create a rule in outlook (or whatever mail application you use) to forward all emails containing this header to the other email addresses. Thats my only idea

Broadcast email - Bursting: Could not determine recipient

Hi,
I created a broadcast setting for email-bursting and checked it/saved it/scehduled it successfully.
The broadcast setting is trying to burst a runtime statistcis query by user (infoobject 0TCTUSERNM for users is contained in the query). The characteristic for receipient determination is "0TCTUSERNM" and the attribute is "person responsible" with attribute value being set to "user name"
However upon executing this setting I get the following error :
Bursting: Could not determine recipient with a yellow light against this error message and the bursting email is never sent-out.
can someone please advise the remedy for this problem
regards
Kulmohan

Hi Simon,
No, I donot have any person allocated to the blank entry for the characteristic being used for bursting
Can you please advise What I would need to do for this?

Hi All,
I am trying to Broadcast Workbook Using Email Bursting option and I am getting corrupted workbook. I have seen several posts in this regard and then included a Mandatory Variable to do precalculation but even then its sending a corrupted workbook.
Now I have a new issue along with this: my precal server(t-code: RSPRECADMIN) is becoming offline(Red)/ at capacity(Yellow) whenever i try to braodcast a workbook. So i have to restart the Service on the server and also followed all the steps listed in the How to..troubleshoot information broadcasting pdf.
we are on BI 7.0 SP 17 and installed the latest version of precalserver.
Can anyone please tell me step by step procedure on how to Broadcast Workbook using Email Bursting .
Eagerly waiting for your feeback on this.
Thanks inadvance,
Sparc.

Hi Harshal,
I opened an SAP note and they came up saying
"Please be informed that BI 7.X PreCalculation service is not available
with GUI 710. you have to use GUI 640 for precalculating the workbooks.
Precalculation service for GUI 710 is still in testing and not delivere
d for customers yet.
Please refer to the below mentioned note:
1145589 : BI 7.X PreCalculation service delivery schedule"
I did not try on 640 yet...please let me know if you find the solution for this..
waiting for your reply.

Broadcasting - EMail Bursting

Hi,
Can any one please answer below questions on email bursting.
Lets say our Vendor master data consists of 50000 vendors,If i opted to broadcast a report based on email bursting,Does it shoots email to all the 50,000 vendors or only vendors for which transaction data exists during report execution period.
We have few issue when we scheduled broadcasts manually,When we triggered multiple broadcasts at same time our pre calculation server is out of resources and broadcasts are failing.If i opt for email bursting will the system shoots email all the vendors at the same time.
When we broadcast email to vendor our requirement to broadcast output to 2 email (one vendor email and the other is internal email which will be constant at all times for records)...my understanding is with email bursting we can send email to a single email id...how can i address this issue.
Sorry for 2 many questions,But unfortunately i never worked on email bursting.
Thanks for your time.

HI,
it is not possible to use more than one Email-addresses.
There is no user-exit for this stuff. The only thing i could imagine, is that you send the mail to a distribution list of your mailserver.
May you can create a distribution List on Mailserver, add the receiptients to that list, and change the email-address in the attribute to the mail-address of the distribution list.
Within SAP is no chance.
best regards,
Kai

Broadcasting Email Bursting option not working for different mprv

Hi BW experts,
I am facing an issue with Broadcaster settings wherein I am using Email Bursting option.
My setup is like following :
I am using info object ZHRLVL to store hierarchy levels within an organization.
ZHRLVL has an attribute namely email address(E1) which contains the email ids of various managers.
The info object ZHRLVL is included in 2 Multiproviders namely M1 and M2.
email address(E1) is enabled as navigational attribute and in all reports based on M1 and M2 there is a user input variable available for the same.
Both Multiproviders contain transactional records which have ZHRLVL values filled up.
Also in master data ,against ZHRLVL values(the same which are present in transactional record) , email address are maintained.
However, when executing IB settings queries on M1 and M2, Broadcasting works for M1 but however it doesnt work for M2.
Any help in this regards will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Parth

Hey Sebastien,
Thanks for noticing that.My Mistake I didnt mention about the error message.
The error message comes in form of a warning saying that the recipients could not be determined.
This happens on top of my maintaining the email ids in master data against the corresponding transactional record values.
Would apperciate if you are able to suggest something here.
Best Regards,
Parth

EMail Bursting - change sender

Hello experts,
how can the sender of an eMail Bursting (PDF attachments) be changed?
What user is used in order to create the sender information for the eMail that is send?
How can this user be changed?
Thank you for your help!
Angie

Hi Angie,
The table RSRD_SETTING stores the broadcast setting info. The field OWNER will be the sender of the reports. Try changing the owner to the desired user.

EMail Bursting of Web Template - no Texts are shown!

Dear experts,
on using eMail Bursting for a web template the eMail with the attached PDF is send.
Unfortunately no texts form the Web Template are send - only the query results....
is there a setting where to ensure thatl also texts (Headers and additional information) from the web template is included in the bursted PDF document?
Thanks,
Angie

Hi Angie,
By Default,whenever you broadcast(or Export),it will take only the Query Output(which means the Analysis item).So you place a Info Field item,and then assign it to the Data Provider and then Broadcast it.
Now you will get an output with the data along with the Text in the InfoField item.

Broadcasting query-Broadcast type "Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting)" not found.

Dear All,
I had been going through a number of posts in SDN all of which speak about the setting which gives the options of sending query output via email to selected users based upon say a cost centre one is associated with.
But I cannot see this option "Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting)" in the distribution type.
I reached the broadcasting screen by Query Designer-> Publish-> BEx Broadcasting.
Is it that a precalculated server setup is required to get this distribution type ?
From what I know, a precalculated server is required only for broadcasting Workbooks and not required for query.
Or am I missing something in getting to this Broadcasting type.
Thanks
Shalabh

Hi all,
I finally found the reason for non dispaly of that distribution type.
"Make sure that you have administrator authorization for broadcasting. You need authorization object S_RS_ADMWB with field RSADMWBOBJ = BR_SETTING.
The Broadcast E-Mail, Broadcast to Portal, and Broadcast to Printer distribution types are intended for all users.
All other distribution types listed below allow users to perform administrative tasks and are, therefore, only available to users with the appropriate authorization"
I have SAP ALL in my sandbox and all the distribution types are available

Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting)

Hi,
Can someone please provide me with a "how to" guide to sending a Broadcast E-Mail using authorizations so that each user can only see the information that they are authorized to see. We are currently using version 3.5 of the BW.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thank You!!

Hi Tina,
Email Bursting option is not available in the BW 3.5. It is available with the BI 7.
Email Bursting is drafting a mail for n users at a shot based on their authorizations.
For this to happen in BW 3.5. We have to load the master data of the endusers email ID's. and their names. Also there should be authorizations to be built on the users in the master data. Only then this can be achieved.
Hope this help u with an answer.
Regards,
Kishore.P
