Broadcasting in BI 7.x - Do I need Portal, Missing Distribution Types

Hi,
     I'm looking into getting Broadcasting up and running. Errors abound of course. Could someone help with these questions?
1. Do I need Portal to do email broadcasting of HTML/MHTML?
I was under the impression I only needed precalc server for workbooks.
Someone in earlier discussion said I did need server. If you could point me to documentation
that mentions I need it to simply send HTML/MHTL reports it would be greatly appreciated.
2. I only see "Broadcast Email" and "Broadcast to Portal" as available Distribution Types when setting up a Broadcast.
What do I need to see the additional types as listed in the documentation?
○       Broadcast by E-Mail
○       Broadcast to the Portal
○       Printing
○       Broadcast by E-mail (Bursting)
○       Broadcast by Exception
○       Distribution Over Multiple Channels
○       Precalculating Value Sets
○       Filling the OLAP Cache
○       Filling the MDX Cache

I did find the below excerpt.

In SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 (2004s), which BEx Web functions require SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal?
As soon as you use any of the new BI capabilities for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BEx tools (such as BEx Analyzer & Broadcasting), you require usage types BI Java and Portal. The only exception is if you do not use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BEx tools and ONLY use the old 3.x BEx tools.

Errors "A media driver your computer needs is missing." or "Windows cannot install required files" upon attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 64-bit

I'm attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 [64-bit]
I am currently being prevented from installing by a "A media driver your computer needs is missing." error, which occurs fairly early in the process. I've interpreted further text in the message as a suggestion that it's a DVD, USB or some other
similar driver issue. However, as I've been able to attempt each install through booting from DVD and USB, I'm not convinced this is the issue.
I'm currently installing to a 128Gb SSD drive. I have installed Windows 10 TP on my laptop's SSD with no issues.
On a few occasions the installation has continue with the installation, and then failed at about 6% with the following error:
"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D". I have not removed the installation USB or DVD.
I did not have this issue when installing build 9841, so am currently assuming this is an issue with build 10041.
Apologies if this query has been posed before, a search did not show up this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for trying to assist!
I attempted removing/deleting partitions and formatting the SSD as part of the install process. I have also tried installing via USB and DVD with the same issues.
As part of the troubleshooting, I attempted to install a different OS. I was able to successfully install Linux Mint 17.1 with no issues. This further solidifies my impression this is an issue with Windows.
I will try a different USB port, appreciate the suggestion, didn't think it would make a different given the various methods already attempted.

Need to configure output type for adobe form

Hello All,
I need to configure output type for Adobe Form thru NACE. What would be print program and how do I call my form from that program? and, what would be the FORM routine for that form in NACE?
I'm little confused, Pls I need your help.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi,
Just before few weeks we did this task.
Say for example if you want to print PO details through ADOBE form instead of normal sapscript layout or standard MEDRUCK, you can follow the following steps.
1. Design the form in SFP tcode, by passing the necessary inputs through form interface.
2. Then use tcode tcode NACE and select EF as application and click output types button on the application tool bar. Select NEU output type and double click processing routines on left side.
3. Then, in the right side of the screen we can see the calling program and the form (may be sapscript or smartform) whatever used.
4. For form names we have two options in NACE tcode.
One is Form and the otherone is PDF/Smartform Form. If you are using adobe form give your form name under PDF/Smartform and also select PDF under the type option in the same screen.
This worked perfectly for us. But pass the required parameters to the form from the routine used in standard program.
If any queries please post it.

A media driver your computer needs is missing

I have been trying reinstall my windows 64 bits, but I always get the message a media driver your computer needs is missing. I have tried to install different isos, tried to boot from dvd and usb and i also tried to download all drivers and put all together on flash drive to load on the installation via browser button. Nothing works. ):
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
Did you try using Recovery USB ? If not, I'll try that first.
My only other suggestion would be try to download ISO again through MSDN account & make a bootable USB , may be the previous ISO was corrupted somehow. I don't know if they still work in OEM machines though, whichever way you download it from.

We need to restict doc.type sa for specific users only

Hi,
we need to Restrict document type SA for Particular users i.e
1. they Should not allow to post SA document types .
2. But they allow to view the documents(SA types only)
Regards
Ganesh

Dear Tarimela,
1. In transaction OBA7, you should fill up the field for all the
   document types which you want to control. If it is left blank, then
   all the users will be able to post document with that document type.
   Hence, if user A is authorised to post to document type X and in
   the configuration of document type Y field authorisation group is
   left blank, then user A will be able to post document with document
   type Y.
2. Also you need to enable authorisation check in transaction PFCG and
need to assign the authorisation group in the profile.
3. I would recommend you to go through SAP notes 198238 and 150496 for the
   purpose of your information.
I hope this can help.

Some files that iWork needs are missing.

I tried updating iWork '08, but the installer failed during the update of Pages. Since then i have been unable to boot any of the iWork apps. Numbers and Pages both gives the same error message: "Some files that iWork needs are missing", it then suggests that i reinstall iWork '08, but when i do that, the same issues still remain. i have tried reinstalling, uninstalling by deleting the app icon and then installing it again, ive also tried uninstalling using appdelete, and then install it again, but the same issue just remains.
Do you know what i can do?
Thanks in advance.

Guys
I have the same problem as above.
What happened was that all was fine, then trying to install an add-in for Safari, I hapened to delete the System/Library folder when the GUI went slow on me :-(((
Anyway, couldn't fix or reboot, so ended up reloading the OS from the DVD's.
Once that was done, almost everything was OK, except for Parallels and iWork08, both of which had worked previously.
In the case of iWork08 I've tried all the tips here (delete any file associated with iWork 06/08, fix rights) and even going as far as looking what files the install package says it installs.
Yet, the problem remains.
Like some others, the installer thinks I'm UPGRADING rather than installing fresh.
What other tips can you give, where is the root problem and how do I get around it?
Thanks!

Do I need a runtime distribution license?

If I produce an Air 3.2 app in Flash, and output as "Application with runtime embedded", do I need a runtime distribution license to distribute my app?
Thanks in advance.

I have understood that the license is not required, since the runtime is embedded in your application, the cases listed by Adobe, are about to distribute the runtime to use the runtime. In your case the runtime is embedded to use your application not to use the runtime.

Broadcaster Distribution Types

Hi All,
I want to precalculate the 7.0 web template so that it won't hit the queries improving performance. I am looking for functionality similar to 3.5 reporting agent settings for web templates (precalculating only data and accessing via DATA_MODE=STORED). I'm on BI 7.0 SP10 with FPN.
When I create a setting in broadcaster for a web template I see only following distribution types:
Broadcast email
Broadcast to portal
Broadcast to printer
Broadcast email Bursting
Broadcast multi channel
When I create a setting for QUERY i see following additional distribution types
Broadcast according to exception
Precalculate value set
Fill OLAP cache
Fill MDX cache
But i don't see the distribution type "FILL PRECALCULATION STORE" which is mentioned on help.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/54/6e6f422f91c153e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Also, if i refer to documentation for creating broadcast setting it doesn't mention about this distribution type:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4a/337f42fb623150e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Points will b awarded for every answer..

Please see the message from BI development team I got after creating an OSS for this same issue.
"A "broadcasting into the precalcualtion store" is not possible.
By mistake it was in the documentation and some rollout material for
a while but this has been corrected.
There are alternative scenarios: e.g. precalculation of webtemplates
followed by sending them to users per e-Mail or put them on a file
share via "Export to KM".

Do i need to install any type of aftermarket security software (e.g. AVG, Norton, etc.) on my MacBook Pro?

Michael
Actually you do not really need AV for MacOSX. There are no virurses for OSX. If you feel you need some kind of protection you should install ClamXav. It is the most recommended AV for Mac. It it free to use. You don't ever want to use Nortons, or any software that was originally designed for MS Windows. They will just cause problems for your Mac. Hope this helps. One way to protect yourself is just being careful what you download and where you're surfing on the web. Be wary of programs and software that ask for your administrator password before installing unless it is from a trusted source. Hope this helps.

Apache is a webserver, Tomcat is a "servlet-container", which it not a webserver. For fast setup, you can develop your Java-web-app with only Tomcat, which saves you the hassle of configuring AJP13 connectors... But they are significantly different....
