Broadcasting e-mails

Hi all,
Is there any standard feature provided by SAP EP using which an user administrator can send mails to the all the portal users or to all the users belonging to a particular group?
Any info on this will be of great help for me.

Narahari

Hi Sapna,
Yes You have to install pre-calculation server for broadcasting and the process for that is
http://service.sap.com/swdc > Download>Support Packages & Patches>Entry by Application Group>SAP NETWEAVER -->SAP NETWEAVER 04 -->BI Precalculation
and can check its status in transaction : RSPRECADMIN or
Transaction SPRO>SAP Referance IMG> SAP Netweaver> Business Interlligence>
Settings for Reporting and Analysis> Settings for Information Broadcasting> Administrate Pre-calculation Server.
and the precalculation is done : Open Query>Publish>BEx Broadcaster , then you can also make new settings --> three or foue tabs and one of the tab is pre-calculate.

Nisha Jagtap.

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.

Broadcast E-Mail Bursting 'Attribute Value Is' User Name function

Hello Experts,
When creating a Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting) setting, our Recipient Determination tab's "Characteristic for Recipient Determination" is set to 'Generate Document with Variable Value'. Beneath this is the "Attribute for Recipient Determination" field and the "Attribute Value Is" field. I understand that the "Attribute for Recipient Determination" field comes from, or depends on, what is chosen above in the Variable field. All of our broadcast settings to date have set "Attribute Value Is" to 'E-Mail Address'. If "Attribute Value Is" is set to 'User Name', how does that work technically? What is a sample scenario which would make use of such a setting? Thank you very much.

Archiving Information Broadcast E-mails

We are using BW 3.5 Information Broadcasting - without portals with good success. We broadcast e-mails to users based on their specific data authorizations (i.e. each Manager's Cost Center data, or each Sales Rep's Territory).
However, we would like to keep a copy of all of the e-mails we send, for historical reference (i.e. End of Season Sales Report for Sales Rep ....).
Does anyone know how to configure either InfoBroadcasting, or the Mail server to send a copy of each e-mail sent out to a specific alternative e-mail address? (i.e. all e-mails sent from infobroadcasting also go to "[email protected]"). We know how to send a total report, but not a copy of the individualized report by territory.
Thanks for any ideas you may have!

Setting up a single user with all roles does not fit our situation, though I can see where sometimes that would be helpful.
Our issue is resolved simply by not clearing the SOST transaction log, which lists all e-mails sent by the system. We can resend or repeat any e-mail or look at the attached report. This suffices as an archive for the moment.

Broadcast by Mail - Bursting

Hi,
For a characteristic, Example, customer, E-mail ID is an attribute.
In this case, the user selects the customer in the input variable screen of a report and executes the report, now, he wants to send the report to that customer selected.
Instead of the user to follow the entire process of E-mail bursting, he wants the Dealer id to prompt in the Receipient field. Is there any provision for this in SAP BI Broadcasting?
Thanks in advance.

Any ideas on this please. Or is it possible to create Email group and send the report out to the group as in Outlook?

Variable Assignment
Ignore: When creating an online link, you can make a setting on the Link Creation tab page to define that the values for input-ready variables are not set. When the recipient opens the online link, the variable screen can appear, allowing the recipient to enter the required variable values. This is the case, for example, if the variable has the setting Mandatory, Initial Value not Allowed.
Variable Assignment: You can create values for the BI objectu2019s input-ready variables (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated using these variable values. These variable values are set whenever an online link is opened.
Take from Variant: You can select from a variant for the BI object (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated with the values of the variant. These variable values are set in accordance with the variant whenever an online link is opened.
Variables can also be assigned from variants for workbooks. For more information about the settings on the Workbook Precalculation tab page, see Precalculating and Distributing Workbooks.
If you have selected Online Link to Current Data as the output format, the variable assignment is appended to the URL. When the recipient opens the online link, the BI object is started with these variable values.
When you precalculate a file, you can specify one or more variable assignments on the General Precalculation tab page. When you generate online links, you can assign only one variable.

How many e-mails can i send through Bex Broadcaster?

Dear Experts
I would like to know to how many e-mail address i can send a query through "broadcast e-mail" function with BEx Broadcaster. In other words, what's the maximum number allowed of recipients?
I'm using BI version 7.0.
Thank you in advance

1. How many more phones/ipods/devices can I sync with my iTunes? I know it's 5 computers. What about iphones and ipods?
No stated limit.
2. Does Syncing multiple devices mean that all devices and my iTunes will always
have the same content? i.e., If I download a few songs to an iPhone and then sync with iTunes, will itunes then sync that new content to any other devices that I sync with my copy of iTunes, therefore all devices will always attempt to have the same content?
Depends. If all devices are set for automatic synchronization and they all have sufficient capacity to hold your entire iTunes library, then all devices will have identical content and will continue to do so whenever you add new content. If you're using manual synchronization and/or your entire library won't fit on one or more of the devices, then of course whether or not the devices have identical content will depend on you.
3. How does this affect store purchases? Can I sync multiple devices to the same copy of iTunes and how many times can I sync the purchased iTunes store content to devices? I know it's 5 computers, but what about devices?
Same answer as #1.
4. Lastly, can a device such as an iPhone be synced to more than 1 computer/iTunes? Can I sync my iPhone to my own copy of iTunes and then sync again to someone elses and will this then sync new content to all associated computers and synced devices on those computers? Again, what about purchased content in such a scenario?
Unless things have changed, an iPhone can only be synched to a single copy of iTunes. iPods other than the shuffle can be synched to multiple systems by setting to manual sync.

How to broadcast reports in pdf format

Hello Experts,
I am running reports on the web and I need to broadcast report via email in the pdf format. I do not see the option of pdf at all in the braodcasting tabl. Here's what I am doing. I right click on the report and click Broadcast -and Export > Broadcast E-mail -> Information Broadcasting tab -> Settings query -> choose the query i want to broadcast -> select the option broadcast e-mail and when I select the output format , it only shows me MHTML, HTML and Online Link to Current Data. But it does not show me the pdf option. We do have the free pdf connected to the sap server. Please let me know what I should do to get it in the pdf format.
Thanks
Sruthi

Hello,
There are two possible reasons for this issue:
1st:
You are using the old BExBroadcaster.
ONLY BExBroadcaster 7.0 is able to broadcast on PDF format.
2nd:
If you are already using BExBroadcaster 7.0, the PDF output format is suppressed.
You can manage this on the following table:
> RSRD_OUTFORM
Check this table and remove the FLAG 'x' on SUPRESS column of PDF OUTFORM.

How to convert a workbook into PDF and broadcast as Email attachment

Hello Gurus,

When i open the workbook and go to Broadcast --> Setup a broadcast setting for this workbook. The distribution type is
Broadcast E-mail; Broadcast E-mail (Bursting); Broadcast Portal; Broadcast Multichannel and Output Format only MS Workbook and Link to current Data. Here i miss the possibility as PDF.
Where can i set up that the workbook should be broadcast as PDF.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks and kind rgerads,
Murat

Thanks all for your answers,
i also read that with changing the format in Report designer then broadcasting via PDF. Is there no possibility for PDFs for MS Excel Workbooks? How does it work when opening the query in Report designer? What do i have to do there but it is no solution for us because in the workbooks we use GET BEX DATA formulas and just show parts of the analyisis grid. I need a proper solution how to use broadcaster converting workbooks into PDF an send them as email attachment
Thanks,

Upload flat file to a variable when creating a variant or broadcast setting

Hello Experts,
Our users have recently begun to use the Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting) settings. On the Recipient Determination tab, some settings have the "Selection of Characteristic Values" set to "By Following Selection" and some have it set to "By Control Query". When filling out the "By Following Selection" screen, the user must pick one vendor code at a time. Some users have over 100 vendors to set as recipients. Is it possible for the user to upload (like in the BEx Browser selection screen) a flat file containing the list of desired vendor codes? This was a nice feature in the BEx Browser and would be very useful here as well. Thank you for your help.

Information broadcasting in CSV format. Unwanted Headers

Hi,
I have setup the Information Broadcaster to mail CSV formats of BEx Queries. It is working perfectly , however it also gives me the Query name and Date and Time Stamp when the Data was last updated. How can I get rid of these unwanted information.

Please help me out if anybody has faced and resolved this issue.
Thanks and Regards,

In Bex under the Business Explorer / Tools, you should have a Distribute option to distribute workbooks. This should open the web browser based Information Broadcasting inerface which allows you to send a wkbk immediately, or you can schedule the execution and distribution.
I believe with 3.5 SP15 there is an option to distribute as a csv file. I believe the Note has you add an entry to a table that adds csv as an output option, but I think the technical functionality actually exists before SP15.

Broadcast Email (Bursting) - Information Brodcasting :: How it can be used?

Hi Friends,
Can you please tell me the steps for Broadcast E-mail (Bursting)?
Whenever you select this option in the BEx Broadcaster Wizard in New Setting, we can see a Recipent Determination. Under this we can find many options such as Characteristic Determination, Filter etc.
I don't understand the functionality here. On which case and what time these settings are determined? Could you please guide me with the step by step functinality of Email bursting of Information Broadcasting?
Thanks a lot in advance.
