Broadcasting Workbook using Email Bursting

Hi All,
I am trying to Broadcast Workbook Using Email Bursting option and I am getting corrupted workbook. I have seen several posts in this regard and then included a Mandatory Variable to do precalculation but even then its sending a corrupted workbook.
Now I have a new issue along with this: my precal server(t-code: RSPRECADMIN) is becoming offline(Red)/ at capacity(Yellow) whenever i try to braodcast a workbook. So i have to restart the Service on the server and also followed all the steps listed in the How to..troubleshoot information broadcasting pdf.
we are on BI 7.0 SP 17 and installed the latest version of precalserver.
Can anyone please tell me step by step procedure on how to Broadcast Workbook using Email Bursting .
Eagerly waiting for your feeback on this.
Thanks inadvance,
Sparc.

Hi Harshal,
I opened an SAP note and they came up saying
"Please be informed that BI 7.X PreCalculation service is not available
with GUI 710. you have to use GUI 640 for precalculating the workbooks.
Precalculation service for GUI 710 is still in testing and not delivere
d for customers yet.
Please refer to the below mentioned note:
1145589 : BI 7.X PreCalculation service delivery schedule"
I did not try on 640 yet...please let me know if you find the solution for this..
waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Sparc.

Broadcasting Workbook as Email

When I broadcast a workbook using a precalc sever and send it as an attachment the user cannot run the workbook even though they have the latest version of the bex frontend installed. When the user clicks on a drill down hierarchy it gives a message "the file could be accessed".
The bex menu it is missing from the excel menu.
According to the SAP documentation this is suppose to open and prompt you to login if you have the bex frontend loaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded with points.
Thanks
Richard

I've been reading threads on this forum and I think the message may be related to the hierarchy drill down icon ?
Also, once I start the analyzer I can refresh the query if I don't click on the hierarchy icon.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Richard

Broadcast email - Bursting: Could not determine recipient

Hi,
I created a broadcast setting for email-bursting and checked it/saved it/scehduled it successfully.
The broadcast setting is trying to burst a runtime statistcis query by user (infoobject 0TCTUSERNM for users is contained in the query). The characteristic for receipient determination is "0TCTUSERNM" and the attribute is "person responsible" with attribute value being set to "user name"
However upon executing this setting I get the following error :
Bursting: Could not determine recipient with a yellow light against this error message and the bursting email is never sent-out.
can someone please advise the remedy for this problem
regards
Kulmohan

Hi Simon,
No, I donot have any person allocated to the blank entry for the characteristic being used for bursting
Can you please advise What I would need to do for this?

Kulmohan

Broadcasting Email Bursting option not working for different mprv

Hi BW experts,
I am facing an issue with Broadcaster settings wherein I am using Email Bursting option.
My setup is like following :
I am using info object ZHRLVL to store hierarchy levels within an organization.
ZHRLVL has an attribute namely email address(E1) which contains the email ids of various managers.
The info object ZHRLVL is included in 2 Multiproviders namely M1 and M2.
email address(E1) is enabled as navigational attribute and in all reports based on M1 and M2 there is a user input variable available for the same.
Both Multiproviders contain transactional records which have ZHRLVL values filled up.
Also in master data ,against ZHRLVL values(the same which are present in transactional record) , email address are maintained.
However, when executing IB settings queries on M1 and M2, Broadcasting works for M1 but however it doesnt work for M2.
Any help in this regards will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Parth

Hey Sebastien,
Thanks for noticing that.My Mistake I didnt mention about the error message.
The error message comes in form of a warning saying that the recipients could not be determined.
This happens on top of my maintaining the email ids in master data against the corresponding transactional record values.
Would apperciate if you are able to suggest something here.
Best Regards,
Parth

Infomation Broadcasting with Email Bursting with hierarchy

Hi,
We have a scenario where based on the employee hierachy, we need to use email bursting. We have following emplyoee hierarchy.
Employee_Manager
-> Employee_1
-> Employee_2
The infocube contains data for expense made by each employee. So if employee_manager should be able to get expense incurred by employee_1, employee_2 and employee_manager.
The requirement is to send report to manager for expense made by his/her team.
This employee infoobject has the attribute as username where the email should be sent.
The problem is ->
when I run the email bursting with selection employee manager, it only sends data for employee_manager and not for employee_1 and employee_2.
So basically the email bursting does not consider hierarchy.
Any inputs is appreciated.
Thanks,
Parin Gandhi.

Hi Parin,
Hope you are doing well. It seems bit tricky. I would try by creating a hierarchy node variable & restricting that to emploeyee manager. It may help you to avoid skipping of em_1 & emp_2 from distributing report. Not sure if it helps.
Cheers,
Ramesh

EMail Bursting of Web Template - no Texts are shown!

Dear experts,
on using eMail Bursting for a web template the eMail with the attached PDF is send.
Unfortunately no texts form the Web Template are send - only the query results....
is there a setting where to ensure thatl also texts (Headers and additional information) from the web template is included in the bursted PDF document?
Thanks,
Angie

Hi Angie,
By Default,whenever you broadcast(or Export),it will take only the Query Output(which means the Analysis item).So you place a Info Field item,and then assign it to the Data Provider and then Broadcast it.
Now you will get an output with the data along with the Text in the InfoField item.

Email bursting without attachment

Dear all,
while using email bursting to send out bi report, we have to provide a sql. my sql statement is here:
select distinct
Operation."Market Director (MD)" KEY,
'Standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
Operation.EMAIL PARAMETER1,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER2,
'[email protected]'PARAMETER3,
'Your Invoices' PARAMETER4,
'Hi' PARAMETER5,
'true' PARAMETER6,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER7
from "BE Daily Sales FnP Cost Analysis".Operation
However, I did not receive any PDF attachment with only the email file output.
Anyone knows how I can solve this problem? It is urgent!
Thanks a lot ~!

You can do it by scripting your own submit button.
So use a regular button and put the following on the click event of the button. The operators can point to field rawValues instead of hard coding the values (cTo, cCC, cSubject, cMsg).
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cCC: "[email protected]",
cSubject: "This is my email subject",
cMsg: "This is my email message"

Email Bursting subject have to modify instead of Warning

Dear All,
We are using email bursting option to send pdf statement to our investors, with password protected.
Email and encryption options are works well.
Problem is subject line received by the investor's is
[WARNING : MESSAGE ENCRYPTED] FW: [WARNING : MESSAGE ENCRYPTED] Statement Of AccountSome of them thinking that this might be any spam mail because subject line contains the word Warning.
So we need to remove the sentence Warning from the suject line
Any idea please,
Here is our bursting file
select sh.UNITHOLDERID KEY,
'DailySOAEmail'TEMPLATE,
'RTF'TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
In our bursting code we didnt mention any kind of encryption coding.
Just we have given the from, to address and cc column.
Also for pdf attachment we have given true in the column of 6.
other than that we didnt mention any encryption logic, but dont know how the pdf get encrypted.
Thanks,

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.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Broadcasting - email bursting multiple email adresses

Hello all,
For broadcasting emails we use the bursting option. We want to use the option of 'filter document by characteristic value' so we can specify the reports by sales organization (0SALESORG).
This works fine if we putt an e-mail address in the InfoObject, but we want to email the same report to multiple email adresses. So (for example) for salesorg 10 we want 4 email adresses to receive the broadcasting report. Is this possible?
In the SAP documentation I only see 1 e-mail address per sales org for example.
We are running SAP BW 7.0 SP 12.
Thank you in advance.

HI,
it is not possible to use more than one Email-addresses.
There is no user-exit for this stuff. The only thing i could imagine, is that you send the mail to a distribution list of your mailserver.
May you can create a distribution List on Mailserver, add the receiptients to that list, and change the email-address in the attribute to the mail-address of the distribution list.
Within SAP is no chance.

Broadcasting - EMail Bursting

Hi,
Can any one please answer below questions on email bursting.
Lets say our Vendor master data consists of 50000 vendors,If i opted to broadcast a report based on email bursting,Does it shoots email to all the 50,000 vendors or only vendors for which transaction data exists during report execution period.
We have few issue when we scheduled broadcasts manually,When we triggered multiple broadcasts at same time our pre calculation server is out of resources and broadcasts are failing.If i opt for email bursting will the system shoots email all the vendors at the same time.
When we broadcast email to vendor our requirement to broadcast output to 2 email (one vendor email and the other is internal email which will be constant at all times for records)...my understanding is with email bursting we can send email to a single email id...how can i address this issue.
Sorry for 2 many questions,But unfortunately i never worked on email bursting.
Thanks for your time.

Customer Broadcasting - EMail Bursting Broadcast with hierarchy

Hi,
At the moment I broadcast with the broadcast function email bursting to our customer. (single customer)
I maintained a mail adress for each customer.
Now we have a special demand.
I should broadcast to customer groups.
Customer Group is a special hierarchy level in our customer structure.
For example one customer group have 10 single customer.
So for example the customer from hierarchy level 2 should get a report with all customers in hierarchy level 3
Is it possible to work with hierarchies in the email bursting function ?
Thanks
thomas

Hi Thomas,
Im not sure by hierachy group but you could so it by role. So all customers who you assign a certain role will get a certain report.

Information Broadcast by E-Mail (Bursting) - Use of Text Variables

Hello Experts.
This time we have a project to distribute customer data using the Information Broadcast by E-Mail (Bursting).
So far it works with Queries and Web Templates, but the functions to create the text for the mail body are not enough.
The "Text Variables" do not contain information about the content of the Query, for example:
"Dear Ladies and Gentlemen" is not enough for us to post the E-Mail to the customers we have to do it dynamically like "Dear Mr. ".
Furthermore we have to send the E-Mail as a copy to the corresponding account manager and there is no "CC" field while bursting.
Is it possible to "extend" the functionality with u201Cself madeu201D Text Variables or customer exits or anything else?
Thank You.
Stefan Müller

HI,
have you find an answer to your question ? Because we have the same issue, and I wonder if we can create variable or user exit ...
Thanks for your answer.
Mike
