Can Tivoli (TWS) be used for scheduling WebI reports in BO XI 3.1?

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to schedule WebI reports to refresh using TWS?
We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2 deployed on unix and would like to use TWS to refresh WebI reports that are built on SAP BW Bex queries.  Does anyone have any experience scheduling WebI reports using TWS with XI 3.1?  Any information you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek

Hi
I can think of two options:
1) You define in BO CMC external events  and schedule your reports to wait for them. In the TWS you can schedule an OS script to create the file that triggers the BO external event. The reports will run only after the file is created.
2) You write  a java program that uses the BOBJ SDK in order to schedule immediately your reports. In the TWS you create a scedule that starts the java program. (You can find examples how to use the SDK here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples )

  • Creating server group for scheduling Webi report

    Hi All,
    I have 33 scheduled reports running in my BO 4.1 environment.
    I want to split this in 3 groups and create server group to run specific job.
    To achieve this what should I have to do ?
    In group one what server and services should be there to run my schedule successfully ?
    I thought of cloning server but my research says it is not good practice. Can someone please guide me with this ?

  • Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.
    CF

    Hi Christopher,
    Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
    iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
    Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
    For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
    The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
    You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

  • Combining 2 BEx queries into 1 for 2 WebI reports for different 0CALYEAR

    Hi all,
    I have the following requirement in BEx Query designer:
    I have two queries with 0CALYEAR infoobject in each.
    One query shows me the data of last 5 years and the other does not have any such condition, it shows me full data.
    I need to build a combined query based on these 2 queries.
    This combined query shall be used for 2 WebI reports:
    -     1 report showing the user, data for last 5 years
    -     2nd report showing full data
    Is it possible to handle this, without giving any date selection prompt for the user on the WebI report.
    If so, please let me know how.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Srilakshmi

    You have many options available. You can use structures and/or cells in  your single query to present one set of data for "5 years" and one set of data for "Forever". You can simply create the query using selection columns to limit one column to 5 years and one data to 'full data'.
    However... I always strongly advise my users to never, ever, ever create a query for 'everything'. You have no idea what the future will hold in terms of data volume. Creating an unlimited query will only produce performance issues and sadness. Users NEVER actually need 'all the data'. They just think they do. It's part of your job to keep them from creating requirements that they will regret later on.

    I run a small service company and we use the iphone 4, do you have a program we can use for scheduling from one or two computers that allows us to schedule service calls and track our service techs.
    A program we can enter each phone and have there schedule and current location available at all times.

  • Can we use own customise calender for scheduling the Reports

    Hi,
    We are using different calender for the business and hence our number of weeks in each month differs. For e.g. we have 6 weeks for Jan and Dec where as 4 weeks for rest of the months.
    In this scenario, we want to schedule reports after Period (month for our calender) close.
    Suppose we want to schedule report after 3rd day of period close. So, our Jan period will close somewhere in mid Feb (6 weeks of Jan), i.e. 15 Feb. In this scenario, reports should get generated on 18th Feb.
    For leap year we will have 7 weeks in Jan, rest same.
    How can we achieve this?
    Regards,
    Arjun Kushwaha

    Hi,
    yes you can create your own Calender for scheduling Reports. Just Log- in into the CMC and click on "Calendar". By creating a new Calendar you can mark the Dates where the Report should run.

  • Hello, is there a way that the Test Stand APIs can be used for ASP / Web?

    Hello,
    I do hope someone can be an idea.
    Is it possible that the TestStand API's can be used for ASP/Web?
    Currently, we are using Teststand running on exectuble application, but if the TestStand API's can be used on web (Just the operator interface), then it will be easier for engineers/operators to see the results locally and remotely by a web browser.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help.
    Mhelinx

    Mhelinx,
    i don't think that the TestStand API can be used in ASP very nicely.
    TestStand is an ActiveX Server and it seems to be possible to use ActiveX in ASP, but i have read that doing will require reboots of the server from time to time (never done that myself, so relying on 3rd party information).
    But there is another, maybe better approach:
    Using LabVIEW as your user interface, you can use the Webserver capability of LabVIEW to include the functionality of your UI into your ASP webpages. You can create different "looks" for your application in the webpage while the LV UI stays always the same......
    I have never done this as well, and it might be a bit tricky to access data from the visible controls though.
    hope this helps,
    Norbert
    PS: If you are using C# for the UI, i think that this is possible as well....
    CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?

  • Using the Bursting engine for scheduling the Reports

    Hi,
    Can we use the Bursting Engine for scheduling the reports? For example I want to run a report in a scheduled time and send the mail to destination. We can do these things in the XML Publisher console. But we need to find any other way to schedule a report.
    Thx,
    Vijay.

    I am looking for the same thing.
    I believe the APIs are entirely separate from the functionality in the BIP web application. So that there is no way to programmatically initiate the scheduling of a report/template already defined in the UI via a command line or API call. Is this accurate?
    I sort of expected the APIs to have functionality that exposed the features of the web application, as opposed to just exposing the base functionality/engine of BIP.

  • Third Party Tool for Scheduling Web Analysis reports

    Now, I am facing an issue for scheduling WA reports through Workspace. Few experts told to me, we can't schedule a web Analysis document in workspace. But, scheduling is my urgent and important requirement.
    Can anybody suggest me how can i go for scheduling?
    Whether i need to go for third party scheduling tool? If yes, Then which one?
    Thanks

    WA is for online report only and does not support report delivery and scheduling. Convert your WA reports to IR. Since 9.3.1 IR connectivity to Essbase has been improved (see CubeQuery).

  • Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Date Ranges

    Hello Everyone,
    Our Env is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 integrated with SAP NW  BW 7.02 EPH1
    We are trying to schedule few WebI reports which can be used on ad-hoc basis as well. Some reports need to get data from starting of the month to today (like MTD) and few are with dynamic date ranges.
    In case of relational universes i used to do Magic Date as mentioned here :  http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts
    But for OLAP Universes i have written a MDX filter prompt as :
    <FILTER KEY= "@Select(Debit Memo Date\Debit Memo Date LOV)">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION= "Between">
    <CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0)='First Day of Month','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0))"/>
    <CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0) > '1/1/2100 12:00:00 AM',''1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'',(@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0))"/>
    </CONDITION>
    </FILTER>
    We are getting MDX erros because IIF can only return numeric values. So are there any other approaches for dynamically scheduling the reports or can the above MDX prompt be modified to make it work ?

    Ingo,
    When we schedule the WEBI report we use the BEX query with a variable based on a customer Exit .
    There are good examples in
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
    In order to avoid providing a hard coded date restriction in the BEX query we want to have a flexible date range solution (e.g. data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday).
    Is the folloing scenario possible:
    Scheduled webi report with a hard coded date e.g. 1.1.1900 (for the BEX variable)
    The BEX query should return the data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday (dynamically)  if date = 1.1.1900
    else it should return the data (for the e.g. adhoc reporting)
    Is a customer exit like this possible ?
    Pseudo code:
    IF date = 1.1.900 then return sysdate-1 else return entered date
    For a relational universe I always used a magic date condition

  • How to schedule webi report using OLAP Universe

    Hi all,
    I am using the webi report which is based on BW query or cube.
    I want to schedule the webi report  which should get refreshed automatically.
    how to set the date parameter for that webi report at universe or report level.
    or shall i should create a variable at bw side i.e., (sysdate -1)  and tht variable should i use in the report or any idea..
    i am using BOE 3.1 SP3

    Edited by: Ravi Sarma on Dec 6, 2011 6:09 PM

    Hi,
    it won't be at "report-level" . those local variables are formulae used for formatting, not for user inputs / responses.
    Easiest is to use the SAP KEYDATE variable in the BEx query.
    This SAPVAR will come through as a WebI prompt like any other, and has a default value of sysdate (if not answered differently)
    As for the Scheduling mechanism, this is the same as always - done in Infoview / BILaunchPad - select the webi instance, and click Schedule .

  • Can FW CS3 be used for graphic for printing?

    Fireworks does not operate or export in CMYK color space. It
    was
    developed for screen images only, and operates and exports in
    RGB color
    space. It is not recommended that you use it in preparation
    of images
    for print. You mentioned that you don't like photoshop. You
    might like
    Illustrator better.
