Broadcasting of reports to KM folders...

Dear All,
We need to broadcast the BI reports to KM folders in Portal. We are using Netweaver 2004s (EP 7.0 SP12, BI 7.0)
Is it possible to broadcast the reports to some other user's KM folders than his own folder ? Please, shade some light regarding the same.
Can we personalise the folders in order to be displayed by default.
How to set the broadcasting notification email whenever user broadcast his report.
Also, can we give permission to a user to set the permissions of other user;'s folder.
Please provide any url links/documents for the same. Any help in this regards would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for all your inputs in advance.
Kind Regards,
Anil Kumar.

Would be highly appreciate if anybody can throw some light for the same. Looking forward to your repsonses.

How to Broadcast BI Reports in the latest version of MS Excel

Dear Friends
I am broadcasting BI reports to our field team, and many of them are using mobile phones. But they are not able to view these reports in their mobile.
I am broadcasting it as Excel and it is going in the format .xls. We have other BI tools where they could open the reports which are in .xlsx.
That's why I doubt that our reports are not getting opened because we are sending in a older format of excel.
Please let me know if there is any option to send reports in the latest version of MS Excel (.xlsx)
Thanks & Regards
Ranjan Jinka

I agree with Michael Devine . You have to setup Pre-calculation server to broadcast with .XLSX format.
Did you try with other output formats in broadcast definition? Also check your Users mobiles excel compatibility with .xls format?

Layout problem with broadcasted BW report

Hi all,
a broadcasted BW report laying under /documents/Public Documents/TestReport looks good when opening the index.htm there... also the layout.
Then I took an iView based on 'KM Document iView' (com.sap.km.cm.docs) and copied the path '/documents/Public%20Documents/TestReport/index.htm' into the property 'Path to Document'.
A preview of this page shows the data but the layout of this page is missing.
Viewing the source of this htm page shows the following stylesheet entry:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./StaticMimes/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/fwtheme/ur/ur_ie6.css">
So opening the index.htm in an iView can't find this stylesheet.
Have somebody an idea what to do? Do I have to configure something else?
We use NW2004s SP10. The report was made with the BEx Broadcaster Wizard.
Thanks,
Susanne

The IE 6.0 which I use can handle .mht files. So the .mht link opened in the KM Content works:
http://<host>:50000/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Public%20Documents/TestReport2.mht
But why does this link works but not the preview in portal content area?
I have to correct myself... I found out these effects trying to deposit different paths in the iView property:
- path: /documents/Public%20Documents/TestReport2.mht
--> the preview shows the source code of the .htm in the browser. Saving this source code to a new .mht file and testing it locally works fine!!!
- path: /entrypoints/Public%20Documents/TestReport2.mht
--> here the browser wants to know which programm the .htm file shall be opened. After choosing IE the source code was shown also like above.
Therfore there is the same behavior after assigning the iView to a role.
This url was generated for the iView
http://<host>:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder.IviewModeProxy?iview_id=pcd%3Aportal_content/nas/general/nas_every_user_role/de.cas.nas.general_ws/testfolder/TestReport2&iview_mode=default
But also only the source code is shown in the browser.
I looked at this side how to integrate a BI report as a document into portal:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/bc/7efa40dd14f06fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Do you have any other idea?

Moving 11g BI Publisher Reports to Shared Folders in same instance.

Hi ,
I have to move BI Publishers reports from MY Folders to the Shared Folders in the same BI Publisher instance.
I just wanted to know do we have to move Data Model associated with the Report as well?
As of now i have just moved the BIP Reports and they are working fine, but was unsure on this Data Model part.
Can someone throw light on whats the good practise related to moving Reports in BI Publisher.
Thanks
Ashish

Should i move the data model in the Reports Folder only, under Shared Folders?
just wanted to know the best practise as to how data model and reports are stored under Shared folders as in separate folders or everything in the same folder.Yes the best practice is to create a folder called BIP Reports(shared folder) -> under which you can create 2 folders as Data Model and Data Template
>
Also how do i make sure that these Reports under Shared Folders are pointing to the Data Model in the Shared Folders and not to the Data Model of My Folders?
Thanks
AshishTo make sure the data template/report is pointed to data model in shared folder go to the corresponding report and from right pane under the report you see options as open schedule jobs job history edit more
select edit -> opens a new window -> from top you see a magnifier icon click on that opens a new window now select the datamodel from shared folder for the corresponding report thats it.
hope it helps

CRM_UI pointing to wrong port while broadcasting any report

Dears,
Our BI team is facing one starnge issue in CRM_UI.
Earlier we were using port 50001 to access CRM_UI but now we changed it port to 443XX.
So I CRM_UI is working fine and we are able to see BI report on it but when we click on send it takes us (Bex Broadcaster) to URL that containd same old port so I think I need to make some change in any parameter to make it to point to right URL.
Please suggest how can we do these settings.

Hi Sharon,
thank you for your help.
I've created the running total, and tested it again, however, the issue still remained.
The regional options for date are set to be dd/mm/yyyy
I created a formula to evaluate referingDate <= @PeriodEnd, and put it next to the referingDate filed, in the Detail section. All dates should be <= @periodEnd, however, running from the application I got the following results
for example, @periodEnd is 01/07/2008 (dd/mm/yyyy)
01/02/2008 True
01/11/2007 True
03/04/2008 False
which looks like that it's using the format mm/dd/yyyy.
Running from Crystal it shows True for all the dates, which is right.
Is there any chances for the application to get a different date configuration???
thank you
Jamal

Schedule a Webi report to multiple folders in BOXIR2 InfoView

Hi All Expert,
I might need your kind advice on what is the alternative way to do the below in BOXIR2 InfoView.
In my InfoView, i have several sub-folders under one folder. For eg, i have one "Sales" folder which contained multiple sub-folders as "SG", "CHI", "MYS", "JPN" and etc. I have one webi report created which have a country name prompt in the report and exported to each different sub-folders which the report prompt have been selected for each country name before export to the sub-folder. Eg, "SG" sub-folder have a webi report with "Singapore" as country name in the folder. All of the sub-folder's report are using the same webi report design.
My problem now is i need to open each of the webi report in the sub-folder to everytime when i need to perform a schedule or perform changes on the report design. If i have 12 sub-folders, i need to open 12 times to perform changes one by one or schedule the report to run one by one.
Are there any other alternative way to schedule one time then BO will copy the relavant report or instance to the multiple folder?
Appreciated your kind advice.
Regards,
Chee Koon

Hi
a publication object allows you to schedule X webi reports (which reside in several subfolders in your system) at once.
If you want to first to create/overwrite copies of your report in X subfolders and then schedule them all at once then you have to go with the SDK (even in BO XI 3.x)
You can find more information about the SDK here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary

Hi,
It is a memory or buffer related problem. Contact your BASIS.
Looks like there is a shortage of space. Analyse the dump in ST22 and look for its proposals.

Broadcasting Error Reports

Hello Gurus,
We have few reports which get broadcasted on a weekly basis. The error reports are on the ODS objects and broadcasting was happening fine till last week. The automation is made using the Process chains where we are using the ABAP program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER and the respective reports are the variant for each process type. Today the process chain failed at one of the process types with an error as "No log found(in main memory)". The failed step is in the last. I have few questions related to this:
a. If the failed step of the process chain is in the last, then can I have the remaining successful steps getting broadcasted as they went green in process chain
b. As I did not get any reports broadcasted, now how do I send the reports to the users as of now for this week
c. If I try to execute the RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER and give the variant as the report in SE38 manually, will it broadcast the queries(as the settings are already defined).
Please clarify.
Regards
Vijay

Ideally, as the other process chain steps have completed succesffully, those would have broadcasted. However,If you could see the SOST monitor, you can get an idea of what reports have been broadcasted and to whom and when.
Yes, you can run the report in SE38 and manually execute the broadcasting with the right variants.

Information Broadcasting: Monthly Reporting with variable dates

Dear all,
we have created a lot of reports with RD and have pubished the reports in the portal. Our reports have a lot of selection screens. Now we would like to use information broadcasting. We have already created information broadcasting settings. We have maintained fix variants for our reporting
For example:
Variant x1
Organization: C110
Scenario: Actual
Date: is filled by the user Exit
Now we tried to shedule the report. We are using Variant x1 to find the correct selection. The problem is, that we have already saved a fix date in the variant (for example 01.01.2008), because the field is obligatory.
The User-Exit for the variables works with step 1, but the problem ist, that the variant x1 is overwriting our User-Exit value.
How can I avoid, that the Variant is not overwriting the User-Exit. Of course for reporting without variant, the manual entry has priority before the user exit.
Thanks for a soon feedback.
XmxhX

hi,
in order to update months, firstly create variants for the reports. Then implement the below program modifying the users inputs. For current month or last month you have to hard something like sy-datum(6), an you have to hard code the field name for the month variable that you use in query.
Below program is for BI 7.0, you can also check the document. It also contains a method for bw 3.5 variants.
You can schedule this program in a process chain or make variations of this as needed.

AFP Finder Bug Report/Collapse AFP Folders over the Command Line

Hello,
I have a MacPro server that I am using to deliver scanned images of business recoreds. I absolutely love how cover flow and spotlight work toghether and in fact this is one of the main reasons I chose Apple in 2009.
However, the number of records has grown quite a lot. Somehow today a user opened/expanded all of the folders and now every user is seeing all folders expanded. Unforunately it has become impossible to get a directory listing because there are over a million pages opening previews. This has caused my business to come to a grinding halt!
So my suggestion to Apple is that this is a bug! This is just like Lion that remembers which windows and applications are open and what a mess that created for people who open a lot of windows and so many users looked to create a workaround to prevent this either for specific applicaitons or to disable it all together. Fortunately in Lion updates and ML it is possible to disable this feature. This needs to be changed because because when a computer defaults to opening windows and resources not requested by the user(s) it bogs down the entire system and degrades the user's experience on the application they are actually working on. Who in their right mind would want Safari to open up Drudge Report, CNN, Yahoo, every dirty movie I've ever watched and 50 pages of LOL Cats if I just want to check the weather or try and find a good resteraunt to take my wife to dinner. Opening windows or folders by default is not an elegant use of our computer resources, is not minimalist design, and is not helpful in any way whatsoever. These features create nothing but dust and clutter and users should demand these so called features be turned off by default.
And my question for the super users: HOW CAN I FIX THIS? There must be a plist file I can delete and recreate or at least edit? A permissions change to prevent this from happening again? Sudo something?
Thanks,
Jake
p.s. A new MacPro with thunderbolt would be nice.

Thank you. Yes it is a read only directory so I am flummoxed as to how .dsstore was modified? I have tested multiple times to be sure users cannot accidentally delete or modify an archived file. tomorrow I will look to see how ds store was modified.
Users upload files into a drop box and they are inserted with rsync to prevent overwrites. Several pitfalls to using finder for this purpose most notably the tendency to overwrite completely a folder so files may get deleted. These are important records so early on I set it up so once a file was inserted it could not be removed without logging in as a specific management user.
But the user interface is so awesome to view the files I just can't imagine a competitive product being so nice as to scroll through the pages in cover flow like you are flipping through a file. Most of the time I can scan the files' contents without even oppening preview or even hitting the space bar. Cover flow gives me the intuitive feel of paper I like.
If you have a product to suggest I would look at it.

How to hide BEx reports in archive folders

Hello experts,
Need your advice, we currently have several reports that we want to phase out gradually, but want to keep available in case users would want to use in the few months ahead.
Can you please help confirmif possible to move BEx reports from current infoprovider folders into archive folders and then remove user role access to this folder?
We would prefer this since users currently have access to infoproviders.
I also tried this option seen in one of the earlier blogs but it fails in step 3 since it doesn't accept REP for the Detailed information for DEFTP column (error enter a valid value is shown)
1) Look in table RSRREPDIR with the query technical name. Get the COMPUID value.
2) Go to table RSZELTDIR with the COMPUID value.
3) In table RSZELTDIR, select the Active record (OBJVERS = A) and do Table Entry, Create with Template from the menu. Change the OBJVERS value in the new record to D and save the new record.
4) Go back to the RSRREPDIR table entry. Copy the Active record (OBJVERS = A) and do Table Entry, Create with Template from the menu. Change the OBJVERS value in the new record to D and save the new record.
5) In the RSRREPDIR table, delete the Active record (OBJVERS = A).
Really appreciate your help, thanks!
