Easiest way to email a scheduled report

I have a client that wants to create a scheduled report and have it do the following, Run the report and automatically extract it into Excel using custom templates and have it emailed to their customers.
Is this possible and what is the best way to do it?
Thanks!
Kris

Hi Kris
Thanks for the question. I’m afraid this isn’t possible out of the box or with the automated scheduling that I outline in a paper on my website. Even though my paper was written in 2007 it is still valid today for anyone wishing to use third party scheduling and Discoverer.
To do what you ask is more difficult and I think you will have to look at interfacing Discoverer with BI Publisher. Either that or use the mechanism I outlined but then use a macro within another Excel workbook to go get the data out of the one you export. Come to think of it this latter method might just be the best way.
Does this help?
Best wishes
Michael

Automatic Email When Scheduled Report Fails?

Is there a way to configure XI to automatically send an email if a scheduled report fails to run successfully?

This is actually configured at the report level from the CMC and not via auditing. For each report that you want notification(s)to be set for, switch to the Schedule tab --> Notification in the CMC. Enable email notifications as required. ie. "A job has failed to run. "

How to email a scheduled report using CRS XI R2

Hi,
I'm very new to CRS. I know how schedule a report but I got an error message when I set
Destination: Email (SMTP)
Use the Job Server's defaults
Server Used: <servername>.reportjobserver
Error message: address error:SMTP_E_USER_NOT_LOCAL(551):CrystalEnterprise.Smtp

Hi,
have you configured the SMTP mail settings on your Job server? You can do this in the CMC, under Servers->Job Server. You can also provide the name of your SMTP host and the username/password that should be used eachtime you schedule the report itself. This will override the Job Server default settings.

How to email the Financial Reports to selected set of users - Hyperion

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to email a financial report (in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio) to selected set of users based on the selection of Entity from the POV. If yes can it be automized in a way that everytime the report is run for a particular entity, it will email the report to the selected set of users?.
Thanks

Yes, you can schedule batches (not in FR, but in Workspace). You might find this useful:

Hi Jörg,
we use simple server based batch scripts . These scripts use the functionality provided by the BPA Admin tool to perform different tasks. You can either start macros inside the tool or perform other tasks like backing up the DBs etc.
This is a very simple by proven way to automate server based activities. We use this since the old ARIS days

E-mailing scheduled reports

Will Discoverer 3i allow scheduled reports to be emailed to users as a PDF document or HTML document or a link to one of the above?
Also, if this is allowed, will security settings be kept in the report so users only see the data related to them?
Can reports be emailed to a group, rather than a single user - by aliasing a list of users with a group name - and can security settings be applied to the group, or possibly by each user within a group?
IF there is information out there regarding the emailing of scheduled reports from Discoverer, please post a link to this information. I have looked throughout the Oracle site and found no specific info.
Thanks
cb

Chad,
I would suggest that you look into 4.1 it allows you to send reports view email. But not scheduled reports.. You would want to use Oracle Reports to produce PDF's that are emailed to users... Your steps would be to create your report in Discoverer then export to oracle reports... Thats if you still wanted to design in Discoverer.

Need a way to Hide the Destinations (FTP, Email...) when scheduling reports

We do not have destinations set up for FTP, email and unmanaged disk in our environment due to our stringent security requirements. Even after being told these are not available, our users continue to try to schedule the report to go to these destinations and they are causing the reports to fail and utilize database resources for a report that will not complete successfully.
Does anyone know if there is a way to hide the destinations from users when they schedule reports? I know this was an option a couple of versions back but I cannot find it in BOE XI3.1 SP3. The only option we want our users to see is Inbox and their personal folders.
Our environment is:
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Tomcat 5.5.30
Java 1.6
BOE XI 3.1 SP3 FP3.2
Thanks.
Rich

Hi,
We can control distinations by configuring them on Respective Servers, which should be protected from business users.
Assuming that you wish to configure only email as destination for Crystal Reports, then
Step 1 : Access properties of Server-> CrystalReportsJobServer
Step 2 : Choose only valid Desitnations that you wish to provide, In our case it is only eMail
Always go for cloning existing server if you are customization. Which is good practice than directly working on default server.

Changing an email address throughout the Enterprise on schedule reports

We will be changing our email address from fsc.edu to fitchburgstate.edu.
I have been told I need to manually change this address for all scheduled reports on the Enterprise.
Is there an easier way to do this instead of going into each report?
Thanks!

SDK = Solution Developer Kit
E.g.; you need a developer that knows .NET to create an application that will do the task.
To develop a BOE/CRServer XI R2 .NET application you need the Enterprise .NET SDK. You have to get this from the Enterprise installer. Launch the BOE/CR Server XI R2 installer and choose Server Install - not Client Install. Choose a Custom install. You'll be presented with a drop down list for the Enterprise components. Deselect everything and then look for the Developer Components option. You may have to drill down into one of the levels to find it. Under Developer Components you'll see the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK. Select it to install to the development machine. This will allow you to work with the Enterprise .NET SDK on your VS2005 machine.
You can install the .NET SDK using the Client Tools option, however it installs much more than you'll need (e.g. the publishing wizard, etc.). The Client Tools option can also miss a couple of key DLLs and assemblies. The best path to follow is the custom server install path outlined above.
When you're ready to deploy your .NET application you will also need to install the .NET SDK onto the Web application server as well. This is because we are not fully managed by the .NET Framework.
Check the following link:-
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects?rid=/webcontent/uuid/5001d5de-f867-2b10-00bf-8d27683c85a0 [original link is broken]
This will give you details about BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK.

What is the easiest way to create alias email addresses in exchange 2013?

For example my official domain is [email protected]
Within my company i want to make it look like certain departments are sending from bicycles.com skateboards.com
and skooters.com and receive to those addresses even though the emails are really going through the
[email protected] domain. but it appears to be coming from three other domains.
appearance is everything. What is the easiest way to accomplish this.
Step by step with examples if possible. I am not well versed in exchange server 2013 yet.
Droid Hacker

In Exchange 2013 you can use the ECP to add additional email addresses to mailboxes. In order for a mailbox to send using an address, that address needs to be set as the reply address. One mailbox cannot send as multiple addresses. Doing that would require
a mailbox for each address. To set a new primary address on a mailbox log into the ECP and choose mailboxes under the recipients option on the left. Then search for the mailbox you want to add the address to and click the edit symbol. Navigate to the
Email Address tab on the left. To set a new primary address you will likely need uncheck the box for "Automatically update email addresses based on the email address policy applied to this recipient". Then click the plus button, enter the new address,
and check the box for "Make this the reply address"
Before you do this you should ensure that the proper MS records exist for these other domains, and that they are properly configured for mail flow. Once you set this as the reply address for a mailbox, that is the address external users will use for replies.

Scheduled report is failing to be triggered via email in SCOM 2007 R2.

Hi All,
I have this strange issue. I have created a scheduled report from the SCOM reporting. It is a default report which comes in SCOM, It is the Most common alerts available in the Microsoft generic report library.
I also have the SMTP server configured in the Reporting services configuration manager as in the below screenshot.
The email relay server mentioned in that its self is used for our SCOM Alert email subscription as well and it works fine.
When i schedule the report and when it tries to send the report it gives the below error, Saying that "at least Senders / From field is missing or empty"
As you see i have mentioned a from / senders email address, But i still get that error.
I checked the RMS event logs but there are no related events for this issue.
Does any one have an idea on this ?
Gautam.75801

Make sure that the following
1.Verify that the Report Server Windows service has Send As permissions on the SMTP server.
2.In Sender Address of Reporting Services Configuration tool, enter the name an account that has permission to send e-mail from the SMTP server.
3. Moreover, check the event log of SQL reporting server

Scheduling Report through InfoView - Destination Email

My question pertains to InfoView in Crystal Report Server 2008. I am trying to set up a scheduled report to run once, and be emailed as a pdf to my own email address. I am using the administrator account and can successfully do this through the CMC, but when I try to schedule the report through InfoView, the destination always reverts back to the Inbox destination rather than the email destination. The job has a successful status, but the destination is always the Inbox.
I am fairly confident my job servers are set up with the proper SMTP information since I am successful when trying this through the CMC and I am setting everything the same through InfoView.
Any ideas?

Hello,
This is Crystal Report Server 2008 and I guess Business Objects Enterprise 3.0.
When scheduling a report through InfoView I do the following:
Recurrence - Now
Format - I choose PDF, although it doesn't really matter for the problem I am having.
Destination - I choose email from the dropdown, there is no checkbox to ignore the defaults. I have to input my own information. I populate the From, To, and Subject boxes. I also choose to have an attachment sent.
I click the Schedule button and I am taken to the History window. The job has a status of Running. I choose refresh and the job completes with a status of Success. However, when I click the status and the Instance Details are shown, the external destination line reads as Inbox and no email is delivered. The report is delivered to the InfoView user's inbox, but not in an email as I selected.
This process works when performed through the CMC, but not through InfoView.

How to change the sender's name/email-id in the scheduled report

Hi,
We have SCOM 2007 R2. In the Reporting tab (SCOM Console), we have some scheduled reports. I need to change the sender's name/email-id in a scheduled report. When we receive the report through email, receiving with the person's name who moved out of the
team.
I tried to change but could not find the option to change while editing the properties in SCOM Console under Reporting -> Scheduled Reports.
When we are receiving mail from that scheduled report, instead of an individual name, would like to provide a generic name. Please help me out. Let me know, if you need more information.
Thanks,
Naren.
Thanks & regards, Naren.

Hello,
the SCOM scheduled reports feature rely on SQL Reporting Services. So, if you would like to change the SMTP configuration, you should go in SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Open in the Start Menu, Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
In the connection window, click OK.
Click on the tab E-mail settings.
Change the Sender Address.
Click Apply.
Alternatively, you could also change in the Scheduled report properties the field
Reply to. I think it should customize the reply address for each scheduled reports, but I have never used it. Anyway, doing it with Reporting Services Configuration Manager is more interesting in the long-run.

Schedule reports - Email config

Can somebody provide me the steps for enable schedule report options and the email configuration.
Would Email,SMTP configuration enable us to schedule reports provided we have permissions assigned ?
Please provide any steps or configurations..Thanks..

Hi John,
I have the SMTP address with the ports and we have our mail server.
As per admin guide, what would be the user for the destination ?
User Name
Provide the Job Server with a user name that has permission to send email
and attachments through the SMTP server.
Password
Provide the Job Server with the password for the SMTP server.
Can i just leave the user name and password so that the users email will be taken ?
Please refer to SAP Note 455140 to configure the SMTP plug-in to send emails. However there is no section in SAPconnect to enable you to add a user and password as a means of authentication. You will have to enter the IP address of your sending SAP application server to your mail server as a means of authentication to enable emails to be correctly relayed to your mail server.
Hope this helps
Michael

How to configure a Office 365 email on SAP BI 4.1SP05 server to send scheduled reports by email ?

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to configure office 365 server on BI platform so that I can send scheduled reports by Email.
Below are the system details:
SAP BI 4.1 SP05
Microsoft Office 365 Email account
I referred to the SCN post for configuring gmail.
I could easily configure my gmail account.
I tried same logic with Office 365. Instead of using port 465 (for gmail) I used port 995 (for office 365).
That didnt work.
I also tried using port 587 for TLS authentication but that doesnt work either.
SMTP Link for office 365: smtp.office365.com
For simplicity purposes, I have opened all the ports on the firewall and server.
Please let me know if I have missed anything or if my whole approach is incorrect ?
I am open to suggestions and workarounds.
Thanks,
Prathmesh Pai

Hi there,
When the order is saved, the system will call the mail ID maintained in SU01 of the user.
It will then trigger the mail to the regular outlook mailbox.
Else in some cases a new Z table is defined to maintain the mail IDs. System will trigger the mail through outlook. It has that inbuilt capability.
Just ask your user to check his mail box to see if he has received the mail.

Sivanand
