Dynamic Recipient List in 3.1

Currently burst reports to about 200 buyers using Cognos ReportNet.
It looks like this dynamic recipient list is the way to go.
How would I get started in making this happen in 3.1?

Is this a question specific to the BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK Publication API, or on use of the Publication feature in the Enterprise portals?
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Passing Range Parameter for BO Publication for Dynamic Recepient list

Hello,
We have a Crystal report on top of BEx and we are passing input values for the parameters using another Crystal Report.
We are trying to pass a date range from Dynamic Recipient List to date prompt under personalization.
The format in which we are trying to pass is "05/06/2010 : 09/22/2010" and we are getting the below error in log file:
Document for recipients {} failed: Internal error.
Document for recipients {} failed: Cannot Map Multiple Profile Values to a Single Parameter Field: {[ZOC_DATE]} in Report: ABC_VendorFiscal.
Document for recipients {} failed: Internal error. (FBE60502)
How do we the pass values to date range?

I came accross the same problem with BIP 4.0 and CR2011 on BW MDX.
By searching on the SAP notes I have found this one which is apparently only a workaround:

Dynamic distribution list?

Hi,
Does BI Publisher support dynamic recipient list? For example, the email list would be in a table and at delivery time, BI Publisher would fetch this list from the database or BI repository.
Thank you.

Yes , you can do that
select
d.department_name KEY,
'standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER1, this can be a column from a table
'[email protected]' PARAMETER2, this can be a column from a table
'[email protected]' PARAMETER3, this can be a column from a table
'SUBJECT: Enterprise Bursting Test' PARAMETER4, this can be a column from a table
'BODY: Test Report Body' PARAMETER5, this can be a column from a table
'true' PARAMETER6,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER7 this can be a column from a table
from
email_lists d
use this query in the bursting query editor.

Dynamic distribuition list?

Hi,
Does Deliver support dynamic recipient list? For example, the email list would be in a table and at delivery time, delivers would fetch this list from the database or BI repository.
Thank you.

Hi...
If i get the question properly, this may be the procedure to do this.
As you are saying that you have user mail id's in the DB.
While developing a report only you have to add another column and change the functionality as case when 1=0 then customers.region else user end.
and hide this.
Before this you need to specify the email id in "My Account" of each user.
Now while creating an iBot you need to specify you need to select that column from that criteria i recipients list.
(I am not able to tell the correct field to do this as i am far from my system to verify my self)
There you need to select that column
This is the process to deliver the iBot to the logged in user.
Still i am not sure this is what you want...
anyhow if it helful then ok else sorry...
Thanks & Regards

How to create Exchange dynamic distribution list using multivalue extension custom attribute

I am trying to create a dynamic distribution list using an ExtensionCustomAttribute. I am in hybrid mode with Exchange 2013. The syntax I have is this:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {(ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
This works correctly on-prem. But hosted always results in an empty list. I can see in dirsync the attribute is in the hosted environment, but for whatever reason, the distribution group gets created but always come up null.
If I create a group looking at the single valued attributes, such as CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y', it works correctly on-prem and hosted.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I don't think I provided enough information about the problem. Let me add some and see if it makes sense.
I have an Exchange 2013 on-premise configured in hybrid mode with Office365. For testing purposes, I have 2 users, Joe and Steve, one with the mailbox on-prem, and the other with the mailbox in the cloud. Each of them has CustomAttribute6 = 'Y'
and ExtensionCustomAttribute2 = 'NH'. Dirsync shows these users and these attributes are synced between on-prem and cloud.
Using on-prem Exchange powershell, I run the following command:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them as follows:
$DDG = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup DG_NH
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DDG.RecipientFilter | FT alias
So I then delete this DG, and recreate it this time looking at the multi-value attribute ExtensionCustomAttribute2, as follows:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
Replaying the query above, I can see this also works fine and finds my two users.
Next I open a new powershell and connect to Office 365 and repeat the process there.
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them.
And then delete the group and recreate it using the multi-value attribute:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
When I run the query this time it produces no result. Every test I try results in an empty group if I am using a multi-valued attribute in the search criteria in the cloud. If I use single valued attribute, it works fine.
I really need to be able to get multi-valued DDG's working in the cloud. If anyone has done this and has any suggestions, I would appreciate seeing what you did. And if this is the wrong forum to port this, if you can point me to a more suitable
forum I will report there.
Thanks,
Richard

MailTips for Dynamic Distribution Lists - wrong number of recipients

We use Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013. We have a Dynamic Distribution List ([email protected]) configured on Exchange. It contains 75 users, I confirmed it using below cmdlets in Exchange management shell
$all = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup [email protected]
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $all.recipientfilter
When I use Outlook to create a new email to [email protected] there is a MailTip displayed mention about 87 of recipients, it should be 75 users.
Settings on our Exchange servers are as below:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-OrganizationConfig | fl *mailtip*
MailTipsAllTipsEnabled : True
MailTipsExternalRecipientsTipsEnabled : False
MailTipsGroupMetricsEnabled : True
MailTipsLargeAudienceThreshold : 25
MailTipsMailboxSourcedTipsEnabled : True
Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

In Active Directory attributes for this group are as below
msExchGroupMemberCount =
87msExchGroupExternalMemberCount
= 0
Regarding
files under %ExchangeInstallPath%GroupMetrics there is only cookie file modified yesterday and
it contains as below:
DC=domain,DC=com;12/28/2014 13:11:15;05/14/2013 20:02:24
Just created new dynamic distribution group with the same filter as for group all (for test purpose). There is no MailTip for this new group now. Is it possible to force \ speed up group metrics generation?

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Hi,
you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.

Dynamic Select List Allowed Values

Howdy Folks,
I am trying to allow end users to select their username. The usernames are generated from a rule library, and displayed in a select form element. I am doing this by having the allowedValues call the rule that generates the possible names directly. The rule returns a list of valid names. The problem I am currently having, is that if the page reloads or refreshes, then the allowedValues calls the rule again. Some of the username choices involve random numbers, so it is possible (and very likely), that separate calls to the rule will generate different potential values. So what is now happening, is that when a user selects the value, the page reloads, and the end user sees an error that looks like this:
( ) - Warning: Selected value for field 'Select a Valid User Name' does not match any of the allowed values.
The reason I am reloading the page, is that I am also trying to show the user what their email address will look like with the new value. So I have a different form element that is loading is value dynamically, and referencing the select form element. This mostly works, but the warning above is unacceptable.
Is there a way I can load the dynamically created list only once, the first time the form is viewed, and not load it again every time the page refreshes?
Another thing I tried to do (but didn't have luck with, so I sorta gave up on it) was to use the onChange of the select to change the value of email display field. This way the page never reloads and I don't have to deal with that issue. I'm thinking the onChange might actually work, but I would need to execute javascript or something, and not just use an express <set/> command to set the value of the field name that displays the email text.
Does anyone have advice on how to make the values only load once? Or how to change the value on the onChange event?
Thanks!
Jim

Mike,
Thanks for the feedback. I actually did try that eventually. I created a variable in the form, and initialized that variable to the list of possible values. Then I referenced the variable in the 'allowedValues' of the select form item. At that point in time I still had the select box set as an action, so it would reload the page, hoping to reload the value in the email display field. This still did not work. Each time the action fired off, the variable was re-initializing itself. I eventually tried to put in a check, so it would not re-initialize itself if it had already been initialized. That caused a syslog error.
I ended up solving the problem using javascript. I changed the field that reported the potential email address to an html element. Then for the html attribute I made a div with an ID. I then set a line of javascript into the onChange attribute of the select form element. This worked when ever the select form value changed. I then added the same line of javascript to the onLoad attribute of the jsp pages body element. This worked for loading the page.
This solved the problem of the page reloading and the select getting new values. That still happens if you actually reload the page, but all the form elements work without the reload now.
Thanks!

Report Viewer Dynamic Parameter List not showing a complete list of values

Hi, I have installed the crystal report runtime 13.0.1.220 for framework 4.0 in a 64-bit windows 7 professional server.
I have an aplication that opens crystal reports using the crystal report viewer control for visual studio 2010, also version 13.0.1.220.
ISSUE: The report opens fine, but it does not shows all the available values in the dynamic parameter list.
I have tried setting the MaxRowsetRecords registry key to diferent values but it does not work.
I do not have any crystal report stand alone version installed in my server.
Please help me?

Hi Ludek,
yes i followed the instructions of the KBase you are mentioning, but it isn't working for me.
I modified the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV
1) I had to create the LOV key under the DatabaseOptions in both keys.
2) Inside the LOV keys I created the new string value MaxRowsetRecords and set the value to different values. (Ex: 5000, 10000 and 1000000)
3) I restarted my server. Still not working.
4) Then after that i modified the following registry keys: (leaving the first 2 keys modified)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework4.0\Crystal Reports Designer Component\DatabaseOptions\LOV
5) Also had to create the LOV key under the DatabaseOptions in both keys.
6) Inside the LOV keys I created the new string value MaxRowsetRecords and set the value to different values. (Ex: 5000, 10000 and 1000000)
7) Restarted my server. still not working
8) Then after that i modified the following registry key: (leaving the first 4 keys modified)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework4.0\Crystal Reports Designer Component\ReportView
Inside this key I created the DWORD PromptingLOVBatchSize and gave it a decimal value of 1000000
9) Restarted the server. Still not working. For crying out LOUD!!

"No recipients are set in [Recipient List]" -- Can't print to pdf!

Since I upgraded to 10.5.7 a few weeks ago, I can't print to pdf. It seems that the upgrade might not be compatible with the workflows. I generated a new workflow as plug in, same error message:
"No recipients are set in [Recipient List]"
I am at a loss. Any help welcome.
Charles

The problem seems to be with the 10.5.7 update. I couldn't get my MF4150 to work without that error msg. When I looked at the info on my driver (system preferences/print&fax/options&supplies/driver) it appeared I was using the fax driver all of a sudden, but with the option to switch drivers greyed out.
I then reset the printer system (right click the printer) then reinstalled the drivers, still no luck. So finally, I removed both drivers (select "-" underneath the printer list) and then added a driver manually (select "+") and selected canon mf4100 series (as opposed to canon mf4100 series (fax)) and waited a minute or so for the computer to find the driver. When it found it, the option "print using" defaulted to "fax," so I instead picked "UFR II printer," clicked add, made it my default, and it worked fine. (I later also added the fax driver, not sure why i need it but what the heck). Hope this helps.

How to create a dynamic entry list for an input field in VC(ce 7.1)

How can this be done.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Santhosh,
You can define Dynamic entry list for Drop down list and combo box but not for input field.
[Refer this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/2a/28249060dd4dbc872f6266f4557364/frameset.htm] for defining entry list.

Will transformed IDOC by mapping attached to created e-mail message when I check "Keep Attachments" checkbox.
Thank you.
Marian.

Hi Marian,

what would you like to know?
steps:
1. if you have sp14 put the address name in the mapping
2. attach the idoc in the attachment - standard

Setting dynamic recipient for a publication is failing

I have a publication which has the dynamic recipient set up as a crystal report template. I am trying to change this dynamic recipient template using the below code. However, it does not work-
string newPublicationQuery = @"SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = '"
    + InfoStore.CeKind.PUBLICATION + "' AND SI_NAME = '" + newPublicationTitle + "' AND SI_INSTANCE = 0";
newPublicnInfoObjects = infoStore.Query(newPublicationQuery);
if (newPublicnInfoObjects != null && newPublicnInfoObjects.Count > 0)
    newPublication = (Publication)newPublicnInfoObjects[1];
    // Get the collection of publication event handlers and add a handler to retrieve dynamic recipients.
    handlers = newPublication.PublicationEventHandlers;
    handler = handlers.GetPublicationEventHandler(2583);
    handlerInfo = handler.Add();
    // Configure the event handler to use a dynamic recipient data provider.
    handlerInfo.PluginClassName = "com.businessobjects.publisher.dynamicrecipients.crystalreports.CRDataProvider";
    // Set the new report template as the dynamic recipient template for the publication
    handlerInfo.DynamicDataDocumentID = newDynRecRepId;
    newPublication.Save();
    infoStore.Commit(newPublicnInfoObjects);
The code works without any errors. However the dynamic recipient template is still the same old one.
Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the prompt response Dan.
I checked the Publication Extension link and didn't see any extensions there. I assumed the event handler is present because the Add() was giving an error (like you say above). And yes, it was because it already had property "SI_ON_READ_RECIPIENTS" in the object.
I have now done the following changes to the code to see if it helps-
// Get the collection of publication event handlers and add a handler to retrieve dynamic recipients.
handlers = newPublication.PublicationEventHandlers;
handlers.RemovePublicationEventHandler(2583);
handler = handlers.AddPublicationEventHandler(2583);
handlerInfo = handler.Add();
// Configure the event handler to use a dynamic recipient data provider.
handlerInfo.PluginClassName = "com.businessobjects.publisher.dynamicrecipients.crystalreports.CRDataProvider";
handlerInfo.DynamicDataDocumentID = newDynRecRepId;
Above I remove the eventhandler and add it again. However, even this does not work. The publication still has the old dynamic recipient template. Not sure what I am missing here.

Creating a dynamic Selection List based on a View Object

Hello,
I'm new to JDeveloper and I would like to create a JSP Page with dynamic Selection List based on a runtime query or based on a view object (BC4J). The selection made by an user should serve another dynamic query with the necessary parameters that I built using createViewObjectFromQueryStmt(). By now I tried this using the InputSelectLOV from the Component Palette in JDeveloper. But without success. By the way: the selection list is not very large (5 values), so it's not necessary to have a form finding the desired value.
Maybe someone had experience about creating this already. Please give me a tip or a little example.
Thanks.
