Hi Sonu
Here are the exact steps for configuring the precalculation server:
uninstall both .NET framework 2.0 and .NET framework 1.1.
Theninstall .NET framework 1.1, framework 1.1 SP1 and framework
1.1 SP1 hotfix 886903 in that order. Finally install framework
2.0 later on.
Update Office 2003 to the latest SP and hotfix level
Update Microsoft Windows to the latest SP and hotfix level
reinstall your frontend as follows:
- Remove your frontend via SAP Front-End Configuration Wizard
- Choose at step 2 Add or remove one or more SAP Front-End
component
- Flag the components which you want to have installed/
deinstalled (GUI / BW Frontend / SEM Frontend)
- Alternatively 'Uninstall all SAP Front-End components'.
- Reinstall the latest Frontend and GUI patches for 7.10
check the security setting for macros in Excel (found
under Tools-> Macro -> Security -> Security Level ->
Medium and check "Trust access to VB Projects".

1058376 Advanced Precalculation Server Corrections
Generally, when ever a Workbook is precalculated in the
front-end, you see "At Capacity" status in transaction
RSPRECADMIN. Or, due to some networks issues if the job
is terminated while pre-calculating there may
be some chance for this status to appear in RSPRECADMIN
HOPE THIS HELPS:-)

Precalculation Server error after 10 broadcasted workbooks
Hi gurus,
i have a question concerning broadcasting workbooks. We are using the newest precalculation server with patch 13. The first 10 workbooks are calculated and sent via email. The rest of workbooks calculated are sent as a job but the RSRD_Log transaction shows an error. It begins with "Unresolved exception occured in the precalculation server" then next message "System.Runtime.InteropServices.comException. The RPC server is unavailable (Exception from HRESULT:xxxxxx) "
Then some other messages are displayed. Then at the end it says cannot precalculate Workbook. In rsprecadmin the server is green and ready.
Is there any restrictionin sending via Email?
How can i get the server again to continue sending?
How can i clear the queue, to get the precalculation server ready to continue scheduled workbooks?
Thanks and kind regadrs,
MuratHi Edward,
we are testing the broadcast functionality and we want to go live first week in september. I hope you remember and suggested me the note which came out in CW33 with the precalculation server patch 13 . we are using it but still NVs but there is also the issue with the sizing. Last night we scheduled 16 times the same workbook.All 5 minutes one workbook should be sent out. 2 Precalculation server were set up to deal with them. In the SAP document "How to ...Troubleshoot Information Broadcasting (BEx Workbooks)" in chapter 2 it is mentioned that when ycurrently you can have 10 workbooks in the queue. Therefore we set up 2 precalculation server with 10 workbooks capacity. Then we set in the Broadcast setting the load balancing option without selecting any precalculation server. My intention would be the first 10 workbooks should be broadcasted with one of the precalculation server. After he has reached his capacity the next workbooks would be broadcasted with the second precalculation server. Am i wrong?
When i check the queue i see the 16 workbooks in "Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations" but with a duration with 0 seconds. the log says in RSRD_LOG says as described before the first message is "Unresolved exception occurred on the precalculation server" then "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800 0706BA): The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception" and at the end "Cannot precalculate workbook ZBROADCAST_TEST". I can see that when load balancing the second server is not used.
But while seraching for precalculation server it says "Precalculation server PRECALC_2 has only 0 free instanzen => not selected" but why. it has never been used why 0 instances free? -

mohankumar.GHi Mohan,
Goto SCOT/SCON t-code, click create button,
Then give the node name and desc>select the connection as RFC connection>select any RFC Destination (any server)>then select Internet>then give the Internet mail address>then select formats which you want>don't select the restrict time>then select 'N' for further mail types>give max wait time in hrs and mins>select nod ready for use>select the test connection--> test the connection and click on Finish button
Then it completes the SMTP connection.

Broadcasting Workbooks through Process Chain
Dear friends,
I want to broadcast workbooks through process chain. I have tried two programs
1) RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER
2) RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH
My requirement is that, I want a log to be mailed to me stating the success or failure of the broadcast of the workbook.
Through the first program, I am able to send the log to my e-mail ID however I am not able to send the workbook.
Through the second program, when I execute the process chain, it immediately says process chain executed. After some time the log mail comes stating succss. After some more time the workbook gets broadcasted.
I want the workbook to be broadcasted first and then the log should come specifying the success or failure of the precalculation of the workbook in the precal server.
Please let me know if somebody knows how to do it.
Regards
HimanshuHi 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.

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

Precalculation Server Broadcast Workbooks - BI7.0
Hi,
We have installed Precalculation Server to broadcast our Workbooks in BI7.0 System. The configuration looks OK. We are able to successfully broadcast workbooks. We receive an email with attached excel file. But when we open up this excel file, there is no data returned. All we see is the template again.
I have checked the configuration again and also gone thru How to Information Broadcasting.pdf document, still no luck.
Can someone please point to where the issue might be?
Regards,Hi Fahad,
Can you please send me or share information on how you set up the Precalculation Server?
Thanks

Try few things :
1. Simplyfy your workbook and try broadcasting.
2. try query broadcasting.
3. check in RSRD_ADMIN the output
4. Check if you broadcast the WB it comes in RSPRECADMIN
Let me know if u still are not able to find the solution.
We can discuss it furthur. pleas award if helps. -
How to broadcast workbook?
Hi BI Expert
Can you share with me how can we broadcast workbook? Do we need to install precalculated server if broadcast of workbook is required? Your input is much appreciated.
Regards
Kang RingHi Mayank
Currently, Bex broadcaster not working in my environment due to missing installation of JAVA component. Understand that precalculated server allows us to store the workbook in a central place. So that repective party can just take the precalculated workbook to perform their analysis. Without precalculated server, we have to execute the query multiple times in order to broadcast the query via email to the respective party.
Is my understand correctly with or without precalculated server, we are able to broadcast the query via email?
Regards
Kang Ring
Can I use the Bex broadcaster -
Broadcasting Workbook Error | An active RFC server could not be found
Hi All,
I am facing an issue while trying to broadcast(distribute) a workbook. The broadcasting of a query from the query designer works fine. But when I try to distribute a workbook, it throws up the following error. We have used the SMTP method(<i>Using SMTP plug-in</i>) for broadcasting and we know that we can use RFC(<i>Using RFC connection</i>) too. But my question is whether RFC method is a must for workbook distribution.Kindly help me.
Thanking you,
Best Regards,
Manesh

</b>Hi,
Are you using BI 7 ?
Have you configured a Precalculation server in transaction RSPRECADMIN ?
Precalculation servers are basically PC, that are used for their Excel capabilities, in order to produce up-to-date workbooks.

Broadcasting Workbook - Change attachment filename
Software component : BW release 3.5 SP 16
HI guru,
we're using Information Broadcasting to distribute precalculated workbooks as attachments (xls-files) to our end users.
The attachment file in the outsent mail has a generated file name with the following structure :
workbook_<technical workbook name>.xls
We have the problem to discern through filename the different workbooks sent with different parameter because the name is always the same.
So we want to change the generated attachment filename to a more meanful name.
Does anybody has a way to solve this problem?
Kind Regards
StefanoHi,
the filename is defined in CLASS CL_RSRD_PRODUCER_EXCEL
on Method PRODUCE
the code is:
CONCATENATE 'WORKBOOK_' l_wbid '.' l_creation_type INTO l_sx_document-root-file_name.
No user exit exist on this part.
No substitution of variable is possible on that (like rsrd_attr table).
I'm sorry,
Regards,

Broadcasting Workbooks Variable Assignments Question
We have several Workbooks that are being broadcast. The majority use Fiscal period and Fical year as input variables. Right now we have to manually go in and update the variable assignments for these broadcast every week.
Question -
Without have to setup a new custom variable in the queries that will default to the current week and year, is there a way to update the broadcast variables automatically with the current fiscal period and year?As with any normal query - cmod the variable so it defaults to last week, current week based on sy-datlo or sy-datum and then find the last week
The broadcast setting will then fire with whatever has been defaulted
Edit - sorry I just saw your without cmoding how do I do it..
Sorry that's my only suggestion -
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
RichardI'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

How to convert a workbook into PDF and broadcast as Email attachment
Hello Gurus,
i have installed the ADS (Adobe Document services). I would like to broadcast workbooks as a pdf file to some user.
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,
MuratThanks 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,
Murat
