Bursting options in Reporting

Bursting options in Reporting
Hi,
Has anyone ever used bursting options in Cognos reporting? I read that we can use this option to distribute the reports. Actually we want to distribute the reports to the different service team managers to see the performance of their team only and not view the whole content.
Many thanks,
Wesley.

Hi Wesley,
Bursting reports the way you need it will require you to make some changes to the report definition using Report Studio (ReportDesigner). That includes bringing in the group or user definition that you want the burst to be based on as a burst key.
I assume you are on a pre-2008.2 version, so you are probably on Cognos ReportNet1.1, there is some information in the Report Studio user guide that you might want to look into.
Following are some screenshots from that document.

Mask email address of Sender, when using Batch Bursting option in HFR

Is there a way to mask the email address of the Sender when using Batch Bursting option in Hyperion Financial Reports?

Not quite what you asked but you can add an email group, for example [email protected] which shows up as the sender.

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.

I downloaded a song from i-tunes. It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time. I could not find an option to "report a problem".

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Background Processing Option in Report

Hi Fellow Abapers,
I need to edit a report whereby there is an option to display further fields. Now if they select this option, the report NEEDS to run in the background and output to the file. This will later be retrieved byt the SAP Output Controller (Which there is already a program). It is a must.
Does anybody have any links, codes, tips? Helpful posters will be awarded.

Hi You can do that programatically, no need to say execute it in background from se38. Make sure you are not using file download but use open dataset. here is the sample program. Just copy and paste this in test program and check it. hope this will be helpfull. this report reads only materials for plant and there is an option on the selection screen to print or email or you can write it to spool. ofcourse it does automatically and then you can retrieve or print from SP01 but in your case you have to write to application server.

How to diable the default option of report-based total (when applicable)

Hi,
Anybody know how to diable the default option of report-based total (when applicable)?
By default this aggregation rule option is checked.
There should be some configuration tag in instanceconfig.xml or somewhere else, such as <ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>?
Regards,
Tina

you can change this from admin tool,
open admin tool,
business model and mapping
find your column in the model
double click your column, click on aggregation, >> default rule >> none.
but if you do this, you cant make any sum operation.

Information Broad casting with bursting option.

Dear Experts,
I have one query which is being broadcasted out using bursting option. Now
I want to make one variable mandatory with no default values. Could I do
that?
Could any one through some light on this.
Thanks

Hi Gurus,
I tried to create variant by following the below link.But here i'm unable to get variant Attributes. Could any one did this. If Yes kindly throw some light on this as its a priority issue for me.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9075b11a-6e43-2c10-b7be-cfa0e97ec0cc?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true.
Any other solutions are also welcome.
Here my problem is i have a query with some variables. I need to broadcast this query. here current fiscal period and current date is getting sysdate by using i_step1. I saved this values as a variant and used this variant in Broadcasting. when ever i execute the broacast i need to get system date ( Ie Current date) but here its not getting like that. its getting the variant saved date.
I dont want this my dates should be dynamic.
Did any one solved similar kind of problem.Any suggestions?
Thanks

Report bursting sends empty reports

I am trying to use Business Objects Enterprise with Crystal Reports to send suppliers reminders by email. BOE should burst the reminder report into the parts relevant to each supplier, but the reports are always empty. Can anyone give me some help?
I have a very simple test case Publication installed which works correctly. The report containing all data is burst into parts and each part emailed to the expected recipient.
However for the the full reminder Publication, the emails are sent but the attached PDF reports are always empty.
Some additional information:
- The source and the recipient Crystal reports can be run in BOE and show the expected data.
- If the Publication is run without any Personalization setting, then all the recipients are emailed the full reminder report showing all data.
- If Personalization is set, the reports are sent but are always empty.
The field being used for Personalization is a Crystal Formula Field unlike the test case where it is a database field.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Douglas

Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1.
Data source: MS SQL Server (actually SAP Business One).
Authentication: SQL Server.
The problem seems to be with the Personalization as the Publication works OK if there are no Personalization settings. I have been wondering if the problem is something to do with the Formula Field being used to filter not being indexed. I have tried adding it as a Report Bursting Index in Crystal, but it seems to make no difference. (Of course, it is possible that I have not done it correctly.)

Bursting and Parameterized report

Hi,
My scenario is as follows:
I have a report which displays customer details for particular month.
Previously, I created this report with two parameters -
a) Customer ID
b) Month-Year
Now, I have to use bursting to generate report for each combination of customer and month-year
My questions are,
1) In this case, I have two KEY values - Customer and Month-Year
But, we can give only one KEY value.
How should I add Customer ID as well as Month-Year in KEY tag?
2) If I have to use bursting capability, I have to remove parameters - Customer ID and Month-Year
Because, if I keep it, my data set query has filter on it
and I don't get any result for bursting.
Can we use parameters and bursting at the same time?
For example:
Previously my query was,
Select Customer_ID, Month_Year from Customers where Customer_ID = :Customer_ID and Month_Year = :Month_Year
In Bursting Query will be,
Select Customer_ID, Month_Year from Customers
I want to use both the capabilities -
a) User should be able to view report with parameters
b) User should be able to burst the report
Thanks for help

Thanks for reply..
Following are my comments:
1. I will try that. Thanks
2. Ok. Good.
3. See,
My Data Set Query is,
Select Customer_ID, Month_Year from Customers where Customer_ID = :Customer_ID(Parameter 1) and Month_Year(Parameter 2) = :Month_Year
Here, :Customer_ID and :Month_Year are parameters
Default values would be,
Say, Customer ID = '123456'
And, Month_Year = '201412'
In this scenario, user can enter customer ID and month-year
In case of bursting, how we can handle this?
4. We don't expect NULL values as reports will be fetched from processed data
5. When bursting, we wnat to create PDFs for each Customer ID and Month-Year combination
So there will not be any input parameters (Customer ID and Month_Year)

Hi Clemen,
Any selectin screens element(select-option) if we click on extension we will get a pop up window with SINGLE VALUES,SELECT RANGES,EXCLUDE SINGLE VALUES, EXCLUDE RANGES bottome of this window we are having some icons along with it we have MULTIPLE SELECTION Tab.if we click on multiple selection tab we will be getting our all values with checkboxes each front of it so that we can select multiple vlaues at a time for the particular f4 .
i want this multiple selection tab for my custome F4, iam not getting this MULTIPLE SELECTION tab.
for example you can check for select-option of account group(T077D-KTOKD).
in F4 function module if iam using paramter MULTIPLE_CHOICE = 'X', iam not getting the extension pop window with singlevalues, select ranges etc ., instead of it iam getting all my f4 fields with the checkboxes infront of each of it.
please throw some light it is very urgent.
please tell me iam using following parameters in function module please let me know if i need to use any other to get it..
with the following if iam selecting multiple also i am able to see only last value in selection(inpopup window)
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield        = 'ATWRT'
      dynpprog        = sy-cprog
      dynpnr          = sy-dynnr
      dynprofield     = 'S_CHVAL1-HIGH'
      display         = c_sp
      value_org       = c_s
      multiple_choice = 'X'
      callback_program = sy-repid
    TABLES
      value_tab       = t_finals
      return_tab      = t_return4
    EXCEPTIONS
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      OTHERS          = 3.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    READ TABLE t_return4." WITH KEY retfield = 'S_CHVAL1'.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      s_chval1-high = t_return4-fieldval.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

The other demo report bursting by files works fine.
The error message mentions to check the log but which one, what is the path to that error log?
Thank you,

Run Options In Reporting
I'm trying to create a custom report to automatically produce output in excel format; however, when it runs it defaults to HTML. When you click "Run with Options", the only 2 format options are HTML and PDF. Is it possible to show excel as an option or is it a limitation in the RequestCenter/Cognos implementation. I've seen this option available in other Cognos environments not related to RequestCenter. Please see attachment.

You are correct, Liz. This Cognos option was not incorporated by newScale into the RC06 or RC07 reporting implementation. It is being incorporated into the RC08 reporting.
