Broadcaster - Restrict Output Formats

Hello All,
Is there a way to restrict the output formats that are availble in the dropdown? Since it is more secure we would like to restrict the users only to use "Online Link to current data" and suppress other format such as MHTML, PDF etc.
Regards,
Vinod Swarnapuri

Hello,
Have you been able to find a solution for this question? We would also like to be able to limit the list of possibilities, so I was wondering I you have found something.
Even if you've found out it can't be done (although that would be a pity), just let me know, so I can tell our users.
Kind regards from Belgium,
Ben

Broadcast Email to PDF output format

Hi All,
We are using the standard web template (0ANALYSIS_PATTERN) to broadcast email for PDF output format. I'm managed to received the PDF attachment email but however instead of one query, it contains duplication of the same query (repeated query) in the PDF file. We are also using the standard 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF web template.
Has anyone experience this issue before and what is the solution for this?

Different types of output format in broadcasting

Hi
When I schedule the broadcasting via query designer, three options available for selection on output format: MHTML, HTML and on line link to current data. Can anyone share with me the differences between these? Besides, any configurable option to have output format in Excel.
Regards
KR

Hi,
Output format In Excel:
In the initial broadcaster screen->choose from the following: query, web template, query view, report, and workbook.-> The only output option you get after selecting that is MS Excel Workbook(Once check the settings in broadcasting window. select the output format as excel and select the check box as zip file. )--->need to create a workbook first and install precalculation server.

Exception when using BEx Broadcaster on output PDF/Excel

Hi all,
I've a BI system (ABAP & Java) on different servers - SP12.
When I try to send a query with Output Format other than "Outer link to CurrentData" (ie. PDF/Excel) through the BEx Broadcaster I get
"Java system error: call FM_RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY to ProgId <RFC Destination name> on host <portal server name> with SSO not authorized: Authentication faild."
If I try to run 'FM_RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY' directly through SE37 I don't get an error.
I have the latest "Diagnostics & Support Tool" and everything is Green when I do the check.
SSO if configured from Portal to BW (if I go the the BI Master system and do 'Test connector' I get 'success').
Moreover, if SSO wasn't configured then I would get an error when trying to access the BI roles (My ModelData JCO destinations uses ticket)
The user I'm testing has '0BI_ALL'.

How can I solve this problem?
Regards,
Omri

Solved it on my own.
The sso from Java->ABAP was OK
I reconfigured the sso from ABAP->JAVA by creating new ABAP certificate and import it to the J2EE.

Restrict Output to PDF Only

Hi All,
I am using XML Publisher on Oracle eBS 11.5.10.2. The requirement that I have specifies that while running the concurrent program the user should only be able to select the output format as PDF. ie after supplying the parameters for the report in eBS, when we click on the Options button the format LOV should only show PDF as the available output format.
Cheers all!!

You can restrict the output only to PDF by using some simple settings. It is no where hardcoded in BIP.
Steps:
Click on BIP's leftside panel. Under LAYOUTS, click on specific rtf file. After clicking on particular RTF, see right side window. You will see by default output formats: all formats are selected. Now change format to 'Limit Output Format to' and check PDF checkbox. Now save the report and see output. It will have only one option PDF.
Easy.

Amit D.

Broadcasting - Bursting - changing format of pdf

We have set up Broadcasting (bursting) by e-mail, sending a pdf to a named person for each Trading Partner. The document that each user receives shows just the data for that Trading Partner. This part works fine.
HOWEVER, I have been unable to change the output format to anything other than the 2 Portal Themes ('Standard SAP' and 'Black and White') given as options on the 'General Precalculation' tab.
I have created 2 new web templates, based on 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE and 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70
And in SPRO I have 'Set Standard Web templates (non-BW3.x)' and set the 1st copy template as the default in 'Broadcasting' and the 2nd as the default in 'Query precalculation'.
The new templates are based on a bright green stylesheet, and this stylesheet works as expected when applied 'directly' to a query run on the web. The new stylesheet was uploaded to the Customer > Stylesheets directory through SO2_MIME_REPOSITORY
We cleared cache (with SMICM) and bounced the J2EE Engine.
I installed the current version of Adobe Reader on my PC. (Is it possible that an old version of Adobe on the server could be the problem?)
I am only using the Portal for access to Broadcaster, by the way, we are not broadcasting TO the portal.
But guess what, not a shade of green to be seen anywhere. Just further loss of my hair. Grrrrr
Can anyone help? We have recently upgraded to 2004S.
All the best,
Patrick

Thanks, Deepu.
2 follow-ons:
Any idea whether SAP are considering improving this so people CAN customise the pdf output?
And when I tried using the HTML output I got an error message saying 'The Web template "ZQUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70" does not exist in the master system'. It certainly EXISTS, I can open it, but what does it mean by the 'master system', do you know? The message number, RSBOLAP013 doesn't come up in SAP Notes.

ME81N - Analysis of Order Values - output format problem

Hi all,
In transaction ME81N, we are unable to change the output format to a different type of output such as a File Store, Excel file etc.
All the options appear to be greyed out and it defaults only to SAP List Viewer.
Do you know why we are unable to modify this option and whether there is an issue with this? Or whether this is restricted via other means?
thanks and regards

I think you are looking for diff one
you are having the issue on the first screen it self.
To resolve that issue go to header and click on GOTO-Variants- save as variant
here you will see the std SAP variant SAP&BEWA
go to the bottom screen
Now scroll down the botton screen where you can find the all the fields you are looking as Protected and hide
uncheck all the filels which you want as protected and hide
and save the variant then go back to ME81N main screen and you will see that selectio is available.
sorry for confusion

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Changing Oracle Report Output Format at runtime

Dear All,
I've custom Oracle Report in Oracle Apps., and would like to give the users an option to select the output format (XML, TEXT, PDF, etc.) whilst submitting the request.
As a SYSADMIN, we can modify the Output Format value of the concurrent program(Oracle Report in this case) to one we like.
But I would like the user to select this output format option at runtime, rather then hard coding at SYSADMIN level. For that I've to create a Value Set with the desired report output format options, and attach this to the concurrent program.
My question is, how we can make the desired output format to work at runtime?
If any one can help?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Steve,
I couldn't get it...???
I'm running an Oracle Report in Oracle Apps. release 11.5.9
The default output format of this report is TEXT, which is defined in its concurrent program.
This report is submitted using standard request submission screen, and after successful completion we can view the output by pressing "View Output" button on "Requests" screen. This will open an another window and we can view the output page by page. Using "Tools>Copy File..." menu option, we can view the same output in IE window.
Now, how does your resolution fits here and how can I view the same report in XML format?
Many Thanks,
Sandeep

Tutorials in SWF output format prompted "Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?" when opening another SWF file

Please help.
I have a tutorial with in the output format of SWF and HTM. I have click boxes that On Success will open another tutorial (SWF file). When I click on the click box, I get prompted “Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?” by the Adobe Flash Player. I can click “Yes” and continue, however I don’t want the user to get prompted for every click box with this action (there is one for every tutorial and navigation buttons to each tutorial). I also think that SCORM can't handle the prompt, because when I run the tutorial from the LMS the click boxes do not work at all.
I have tried selecting “Always allow” in the Global Security Settings panel as per the instruction on this website: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I wanted to add on a question to this posting.... I believe Rod's instructions must be followed on a per-PC basis, correct? Is there any way to disable this globally when/after I publish the files rather than telling 1000 users across the globe that they have to change their security settings? I don't think so from the article (very thorough) but just hoping there's something I can do?!
Thank you!
