Broadcasting - Bursting - workbooks - 2004S

Having tried Bursting with pdf format, and found its not possible (apart from using the very basic format options), I moved on to trying to get it to work with workbooks...
BIG question: has ANYONE managed to get bursting to work with workbooks, is it POSSIBLE? We are on SP10, 2004S, and I am working through a portal to set up the Broadcasting (but not sending TO the portal).
The impossible challenge appears to be getting the all the following fields to be filled, as some appear mutually exclusive, and yet the tool seems to need them all.
The basic area of difficulty is 'Recipient Determination':
1. In order for the 'Attribute for Recipient Determination' to offer a valid option it is necessary to first select a Characteristic (Company in my case)
2. But Selecting Company excludes selection of a Variable, and without the variable the query runs for several Companies, and so Broadcaster doesn't know which person to email the workbook to.
3. USUALLY, clicking Change (against 'By Following Selection') results in a an error - clicking straight after choosing Company usually avoids the error.
The error that always seems to ocurr in the end is 'Characteristic values for recipient determination are not filtered'
Any ideas? Any help much appreciated....
Personally, I prefer pulling teeth!

Hi Patrick,
If you ask for the possibility for bursting workbook out, yes it's possible.
But you need to do some preceding setting, this can be your references:

Hopefully it can help you a lot.

  • Broadcasting - One workbook sent multiple times per filter value

    Dear all,
    a quick question about broadcasting:
    I want to broadcast a workbook that has a boutique (0PLANT) as a filter, which is automatically determined from the receiver authorization.
    A user (who is allowed to see several boutiques) will in this case get only one workbook, but the figures are summarized for all boutiques.
    How can I force the system to send four workbooks and within each workbook, only one boutique is selected?
    We use BW 3.5, but will migrate to 7.0 next weekend.... will the "burst mode" help to solve this issue? (e.g. add an attribute "receiver" to 0PLANT and enter always the same email adress, so that it will run sequentially boutique-by-boutique and broadcast each document?) - but according to the help pages a filter for workbooks(!) is not possible in this case...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Andreas
    PS: a drill down/across by boutique is not possible in this case as well...

    Hi Andreas,
    I have the similar requierement but on a cost center. Did you found any solution to your problem?
    Or do you know a workaround?
    Actually my problem is a bit different, we want to broadcast an Excel workbook with a report per page, each page corresponding to the same report but with a different cost center. If the user has access to 5 CC he should receive one WB with 5 reports in it.
    But the alternative to receive sequencially 5 reports might be good as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    PKA

  • 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.

  • Use Broadcasting bursting functionality for 1:n assignment

    Dear all,
    I want to use the bursting functionality of the Bex Broadcaster in order to send a Sales report to each Region Sales Manager for his sales region.
    Due to the fact that in my case a sales region can have several Regional Manager, it it not possible to use the Master Data of Sales region for the recipient determination within the Bursting setting, because in the MD I can just assign one person to each Sales region.
    Is there another way to broadcast/burst a Sales report to several resp. for each sales region?
    The BI version is 7.0. Any help would be great. thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Stefan from Zurich/Switzerland

    Hi,
    You have to assign related Regional Sales Manager  Emp. Codes to "Sales Region" codes in "Maintain Master data".
    If it is done, then you can simply broadcast to "Sales Region" which internally works for Regional Sales Manager.

  • Broadcasting of workbooks, auto-refresh and other questions

    Hello Reporting gurus.
    Our users run BEX Analyser queries but this is evolving towards more automation and fancy things. A lot of threads exist on the subject but I have not been able to find clear answers. We are on BI 7.
    1) How do we use the broadcaster to refresh workbooks and output the results to a network share drive.
    2) Queries being part of the workbooks work with user input variables. Do I have to change all queries (or create new ones identical) with user exits variables to fill in the fields for auto-refreshing w(ith let say the current year and current fiscal period etc...) ?
    3) Is it possible to create a parameter input screen to pass on variables values to the broadcaster before the auto-refresh takes place so that I don't have to create user exit variables ?
    4) How can we view workbooks with the BEX WEB Analyser ? Or do we have to create an application with WAD ?
    Thanks

    Hi Yves,
    in Analyzer you have an menu entry publish with BI broadcaster, then a broadcaster will appear. there you can create a setting. inside that setting you can use a variant and with SPS 13 also variable sets. There you can define the users who should receive the updated workbook by mail. It is not possible to save to file system, but you can save in Portal.Web Analyzer is only to use with WAD and is not able to process Workbooks.
    best regards,

  • Error in broadcasting the Workbook

    Hai friends,
         I have scheduled the broadcaster for a workbook with 10 different settings through E-mail. I have 1 precalculation server. I have added it to the ZIP file. But when I try to open the attachment, I get the following error:

  • Broadcasting of Workbook doesn't work

    Hi,
    I met a problem when I want to send a workbook towards an external e-mail address. I tried 2 roads:
    1) using RSPRECADMIN --> BEx precalculation --> I valorize the fields: workbook, variant (?), precalculation server and e-mail address. In this case the mail is received, but all the images are not available and the attachment (an xls file) is empty and has a format not recognized
    2) using BeX broadcaster --> after the configuration steps, I click su execute and the sending process doesn't finish (it is infinite...)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the support.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Broadcasting Settings: Workbook Precalc. Variable Sequence

    Dear all,
    does anybody know how it is possible to change the sequence of the variables for the pre-calculation in the Broadcaster settings for distributing a Workbook with different Queries?
    Thanks a lot
    Dieter

    the sequence can be determined in the query level.
    but if multiple query user in workbook or web template, there is a logic defined in a note 1060735.
    regarding workbook Note 1416277 is describing a error correction.

  • Mass Printing Sequence with Broadcasting with SN 2004s

    Hi,
    We are currently running on BW 3.5 and our customer has specific requirements in terms of printing. the printed layout off course must be good, which will be improved with the latest version of broadcasting. But on top of this, they have requirements in terms of mass printing and sequence.
    The central controlling department will need, each month, to print specific reports for all individual cost centers (more than one hundred), plus the nodes to which they are assigned within the hierarchy. And possibly, the print out must follow the sequence of the position of the cost centers within the hierarchy.
    So, I would like to know whether the 2004S broadcasting would enable to schedule & print "in one go" these 100 reports in the specific sequence of the hierarchy.
    I have read carefully the blog of Katie Beavers on this respect and raised the question but she does not seem to be able to answer.
    Thx very much for your input.
    Stéphane

    Hi Stephane,
    you can realize your requirement by using a control query.
    In the definition of the control query you can use a hierachry as a presentation hierachy, and hence this hierarchy will be used to distribute the resulting queries in the Information Broadcasting of your original query.

  • Information broadcasting  Excel workbooks

    Hi All
    I am trying to set up a scenario, so that I can broadcast 7.0 workbooks.
    We are on support package 15 on SAP BW.
    I have installed the precalculation server. However I am facing an issue:

  • Broadcasting BW-Workbook help needed

    Hi All,
    When I try to execute the broadcast settings in the Web Application Designer for a BW-Workbook 'Active RFC server could not be found' error appears. Along with 'An error occurred while processing CL_RSRD_PRODUCER_EXCEL, type PROD'.
    As I don't have any idea how to set up an active RFC server. Will transaction SM59 help as it is related to RFC maintenance.

    Hi,
    You need to install the precalculation server before distributing the workbook through information broadcaster .For more information refer OSS 936112 - Troubleshooting for workbook. (PDF Doc attached )

  • Information Broadcasting Excel Workbooks with Local Formulas

    We are attempting to use information broadcasting to send out reports that use the v7 BEX "convert to local formula" feature in order to reformat the reports.  We can execute the reports, and even save them to a local client and review them later when disconnected from the server.    However, if we use information broadcasting to send these Excel files out as attachments, the users are unable to see the data unless they connect and refresh, defeating our entire purpose of putting the data in excel.
    Has anyone else attempted to Information Broadcast BEX Excel workbooks while using the Local Formula mode provided with v7?  Were you successful?
