EvComment and Book Publication Wizard

Is it possible to include comments (evCom) in the reports generated by the Book Publication Wizard?   I am in version 4.2 SP2.  Is the answer different for version 5.1?
Best regards,
Greg

Greg,
Yes this should work in version 4.2sp2 (not with previous versions) as well as with version 5.1
The only thing with version 4.2sp2 is that you need to install the evcomment client software on the machines where you want to use the comments. From V5 the comment functionality is fully integrated within BPC.
Below some documentation from evcomment in V4 that tells me exactly what you ask for:
OutlookSoft u2013 New method available with WebExcel v4.2 SP2 (aka build 381).  Using this method, OutlookSoft tells EVComment when it needs to refresh.  This will allow for comments to be published using book publishing.  The Client must have the appropriate supporting WebExcel code (v4.2 SP2 or later) or comments will not automatically be refreshed when the workbook opens, or current view changes.

  • Epublish - Book Publication Wizard / Manage Book

    Dear All,
    I have created a report for the publication through Manage Book and that report is also validated.  Now I am printing the same with epublish -> Book Publication Wizard. When I am printing the same at that time, That report is getting printed in 3 pages and 3 times. In that 3 pages only two page contain the information and remaining 3rd page is blank.
    What setting I need to do for geeting the whole report in the same page and how can I avoid the same report printing for 3 times ?
    Please do the needful...
    Regards,
    SANJAY

    You should also use the SUPRESSKEY parameter to select which intersection point should be checked if there is data. In this way, if there is no data for the intersection, for example on DATASRC=INPUT (or whatever dimension members you wish to choose), then the report will not be printed.
    Also as pointed out by the others, it is of utmost importance to set the printsettings of the report correctly, as these will automatically used while printing. For example expansions of a report can cause a lot of useless cells entering the printrage which causes a lot of useless paper/pdf pages. As mentioned before, the best way to test this is by using the print to pdf option, as this will only waste diskspace.
    To set the printrange correctly in a report whith expansions, make sure the edges of the printrange contain the colkeyrange and the rowkeyrange. If you do this, the printrange will adjust automatically based on the expansion.

  • Book publication wizard

    Hi,
    I have a problem when publishing a book selecting PDF file and not ticking the PDF unique file box. As a matter of fact, I do not know where the PDF files generated by the book publication go.
    Has anybody already faced this problem?
    Thank you

    Yue,
    You have two options for the location of the PDF.
    By default, the files are stored on the application server(or file share if multiple application servers).  The path is <BPCDATA>\Webfolders\<APPSETNAME>\<APPLICATION>\APPPUBLICATIONS.
    <VAR> refers to a setting specific to your installation on the application server.
    <BPCDATA> is the root directory for BPC Data.  This value can be identified in the SQL by querying the table  AppServer.dbo.tblServerInfo.  Look for the row with Field = DataPath.
    <APPSETNAME> is the name of your AppSet.
    <APPLICATION> is the name of your Application, ie FINANCE.
    Option two is to select the check box 'Make Single PDF File'.  If selected, a secondary window provides the option to define the Filename and location.  If you select the 'Local' radio button, it will transfer the pdf to your PC and the directory you specified.  If not, the file again will be stored on the application server location specified above.
    Hope that helps,
    -Danny

  • Book publication wizard - AmyuniPDF

    Hi Experts,
    We have an environment “SAP BPC 7.5 SP 5 for Microsoft” and we recently upgraded all client computers to Windows 7 64-bit.
    After upgrade to 64 bit windows 7, we noticed installation of AmyuniPDF (virtual printer driver) did not work.
    However, we find in SAP note 1613756 that AmyuniPDF in BPC v7.5 SP6 support 64bit windows 7.
    Is there a way we can retrieve just the updated installation package of AmyuniPDF from BPC v7.5 SP6 without installing it on our servers?
    We are in the process of upgrading our environment to SAP BPC v7.5 SP11 which will solve the issue but until then we need a temporary solution which is to install the 64bit supported version of AmyuniPDF on one of our client PC.
    Thankyou and best regards,
    Jonas

    Hi Jonas,
    I think you have to upgrade to sp7 to solve the issue. See please this note 1658205 - FIX:AmyuniPDF does not show Paper Settings tab of Preference

  • Is there any substitute for book publication?

    We are currently running BPC Microsoft version and considering migrating to the Netweaver platform.  I understand the Book Publication Wizard is not available in Netweaver.  We use this feature to generate lengthy reports and losing it would make reporting a very difficult process.  Does anyone know of a workaround or substitute for Book Publication?

    Hi Barb,
    You are correct it won't generate PDF's.
    Are you considering going to BPC 7.5 NW? If so there are some workarounds that could be leveraged but they are not ideal.
    For example if you have Crystal Reports as well, you can use the integration to pull your BPC data into a formatted Crystal Report and use the PDF scheduling to generate your "books" in that way.
    Otherwise as Jeff mentioned you would have to leverage the Distributor and Collector and print to pdf via some type of task scheduler job but this  would require you have either Adobe Professional or some PDF generator like PDF XChange.
    Cheers, Scott

  • EVSND within Book Publication reports?

    We are still on OutlookSoft version 4.2 SP2, although we will be upgrading to v7M this summer. 
    Has anyone had any success using EVSND functions to return values through Book Publication Wizard?  For example, if I wanted a Book Publication book to reference an input template, should I be able to get this to work in theory?  I've tried and have been unsuccessful.  It appears that the Book Publication Wizard opens the report and does a ReCalc but not a Refresh, which is what the EVSND formulas need to populate the spreadsheet with values.
    As a workaround, I've attempted to alter the workbook options to "Expand On Workbook Open", but for some reason this does not work when the Book Pub wizard is running.  I've also tried executing a refresh on the Workbook_Open event, but this doesn't work either when Book Pub is running.  Does Book Pub suppress custom macros and workbook options?  How do I work around this?
    Thanks!

    Problem solved since we upgraded to v7.

  • Schedule book publication in ASCII files

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to schedule the extraction of reports to ascii files, using the book publication tool, or any other?
    I´m trying to extract some reports using this tool. There is no problem using the "publish now" option, and i´m able to save the .txt files in the right route, but i´ll like to program this action, to be executed automatically in a certain date, every month. Is there any possibility?
    Thanks for all,
    Alfonso

    Hi,
    There is an existing functionality inside the Book Publication wizard to schedule a publication, but in fact, you can only generate PDF or HTM files. ASCII generation seems only possible using the "Publish Now" button, and not the "Schedule" button.
    By the way, what is the scenario that forces you to generate ASCII files? Would it be possible for you to maybe use the Scheduling area of the Book publication, meaning that you will only have PDF or HTM files generated?
    Hope this helps.
    Kind Regards,
    Patrick

  • Book Publication Macro Error

    I have several reports that have Macrou2019s that perform formatting using the After_Expand function.   The reports work fine except when publishing the reports with the Book Publication Wizard.  It seems the After_Expand function does not run until after the book has been built.  I am using BPC 7.0.113
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Chas.

    Sorin,
    Thanks for the follow up here is some more detail
    Can you precise what is not working and when?
    When a Report has a macro in it using after expand it runs fine,  except when using a book publication, in which case the macro does not run.
    Do you have problem during the book publications? 
    There are no error messages of any kind.  The macro just does not run whwn using book publication
    The macro is not working into published excel?The macro runs fine, except when generating the report with book publication.
    Thanks
    Chas.

  • Printing Selected Tabs using Book Publication

    Hello,
    I currently have a book publication that references a workbook that contains 3 tabs (sheet 1, sheet 2, and sheet 3).
    I only want to print sheet 2 on quarter end months (which are Apr, Jul, Oct, and Jan for us), on other months I would like to exclude these from the pdf.
    I am hoping to avoid manually deleting the page after the pdf is created. I am also hoping to avoid maintaining to versions of the report and book publication.
    I have tried using VBA code to hide the tab, this works well when printing directly from excel. However, it appears that the VBA code is not run during the book publication process.
    Has anyone else run into an issue similar to this?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    Luke - One way to do this is to make a copy of the report you're using  (Save As...) and in the copy, hide all the sheets you don't want to display (hide them manually doing..Format..Sheets...Hide - not with macros )  Set up the BookPub file to reference the copy with the sheets hidden.  That's the only way I have been able to print only specific sheets.
    I'd also love to hear from anyone who has a better way to do this.

  • I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

    I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

    Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
    After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot see Transaction replication with updatable subscription in new publication wizard-sqlserver 2005 standard edition

    Folks,
    I am planning to implement transactional replication with updatable subscription between two sql2005 Instance .I am surprised that i cold see this type of replication in the new publication wizard in the source server instead i see peer-to-peer replication.
    Could you please help me in understanding how to setup  transactional replication with updatable subscription in sqlserver 2005 standard edition.
    Thanks.

    Hi soories,
    In addition to Ashwin’s post, peer-to-peer replication is available only in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. Please
    execute ‘Select @@version’ in SQL Server to verify the version and edition of your SQL Server instance.
    Also if you cannot see the option “Transaction replication with updatable subscription” in New Publication Wizard, you can use T-SQL to achieve this requirement.

  • How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?

    Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?

    Yes it should be possible deppending on your  version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

  • Music and books can't be deleted

    The music and books that I have purchased can't be deleted ! It's driving me nuts and I want them off really bad. Please can someone tell me how you can do it !

    Did you try Settings>General>Restrictions>Deleting Apps>Off? That might be why the app will not delete. And remember that the preinstalled apps can't be deleted or reinstalled.
    DId you try Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music. Then select the songs, albums, etc that you want to delete and then tap the Efot button in then screen? You can also select books in the Setrings and delete them there. Songs and albums can be deleted in the music app by swiping from right to left across them to get to the red delete button. Books can be deleted by going to the Library pane of iBooks, Tao the select button, tap the books that you want to delete in order to select them, then tap Delete in the upper left.
    IF none of that works for you, close all apps on the iPad and then reset the device. Then try again. No data will be lost.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT201272 1 track from iTunes is only playing until 3:50 (should be 14:48). Rest of album is OK. Happens on computer & iPod. How do I fix that track? "Purchased (new)" on right side of iTunes doesn't give me a Music option - just Apps and Books.

    Hello,
    I've purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store. It has 5 tracks. Tracks 1-4 are all fine. Track 5 is broken - it should have approx 15 minutes of music, but only plays to just under 4 minutes. This happens on my computer and on my iPod. How can I fix this please?
    I've tried going to the "Purchased (new)" option in the quick links on the right hand side of the iTunes store. I thought I'd see an option for "Music" on the page it takes me to, but I don't get that option: I only see Apps and Books.
    I'm using the computer that I purchased and downloaded the album from. It is authorised for this account.
    I'm not aware of interrupting the download yesterday - it all seemed OK to me at the time and I thought it had completed successfully.
    The album is Dvořák: Cello Concerto, Zuill Bailey, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra & Jun Markl. It's the last track (In Nature's Realm) that's got the problem.
    Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately you can't redownload music in all countries, as you have found.
    You can however contact iTunes support regarding this issue here:
