How can I send scheduled reports to group of users?

Hi,
I want to schedule some reports and send the results to a group of users, which use InfoView. I know that there is an option in the scheduler to send scheduler results to the business objects inbox. By deselecting "standard settings" I can send them to the inboxes of all members of the group.
The problem is, that I have lots of user groups and lost of reports to schedule. Therefore I want to use the web service consumer SDK to configure the scheduler. The SDK allows to configure the business objects inbox as destination, however it seems to lack the functionality to use any other inbox than the one of the logged in user.
So my questions are:
- Have I overseen a way to send scheduled reports to multiple inboxes using the web service consumer SDK?
- As an alternative, is it possible to configure an inbox so it is shown as additional inbox in the InfoView of a user group? Something like a "shared group inbox"?
- As an alternative, is it possible to have a shared group folder and send the scheduled report there?
Thanks for any help
Joern

Hi Jorn,
I don't know SDK so can't answer that part.
Regarding the other questions:
- As an alternative, is it possible to configure an inbox so it is shown as additional inbox in the InfoView of a user group? Something like a "shared group inbox"?
The answer is no. The Inboxes are associated to one account and you need to be logged in with that account to access it.
- As an alternative, is it possible to have a shared group folder and send the scheduled report there?
Outside of BO yes. You can schedule reports to a shared folder on your network. But not in BO. You can only create an instance where the original report is saved.
Another thing that might help you, would be to have a look at publications. You can schedule several reports at the same time and send them to different groups. It will save a lot of time compared to doing it for each report.

Philippe

  • How can I send emails to a group in IOS 8

    I have set up a number of Groups in my iCloud contacts. I can send on my MacBookPro. How do I select them in IOS8 on my iPhone or iPad?
    This is driving me crazy!

    Hi
    You will need an app to do this, there are several on the App Store that can help (although most require you to use their own app to send the email.)
    MailShot Pro lets you create and manage special contacts that contain all the email addresses in a group, so you can use them directly from Mail and thousands of other compatible apps, just as though the ability to send group email was built in. You can turn an address book group into a MailShot group quite quickly.
    Try it on the App Store to see if it meets your needs
    There is a (limited) free version available to try on the App Store, too.

  • How can I make a report public so the user doesn't have to login

    I am new to apex and am looking at using some of the reporting tools in apex to create reports in our existing application which is all hand coded htp.p calls
    The users already login to our application using their own oracle users and passwords through modplsql so I want to be able to embed the apex report into our application without the need to logon.
    Thanks
    Robert

    Thanks, I'm not sure if I'm being a bit thick but I can't see that!
    I've gone to
    Home>Application Builder>Application 105>Page 1
    which is my page deffinition and under security it just tells me 'No authorization schemes defined.'
    There is no Authentication option so I guess I'm looking in the wrong place!?

  • How can I send "new" iMessages to apple users?

    I am unable to send new iMessages but I can send iMessages from previous threads. How can I send new iMessages to other apple users?

    Just click the button in the top right corner that looks like a pencil on a piece of paper make sure you are at the main I message screen were all the threads are listed.
    If that's not the issue you can try:
    1.hold the home and power button for 10-11 seconds
    2. When the slide to power off comes up ignore that and keep holding home and power
    3. The screen will go black and you will see an apple logo that's when you can let go of the home and power button
    4. The. iPhone will come back on and you can try sending a message
    If it still does not work
    1. Go to settings> General> Reset> select "Reset All Settings" this will not erase any data on the device it will only reset the settings
    2. After that try to send a message again
    If that does not work you can try this
    1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and click your iPhone in iTunes
    2. Then press backup iPhone
    3. Then restore your iPhone this will erase everything and reinstall the operating system
    4. Try to send a message and see if it sends
    5. Then go back into iTunes and select restore from backup and select the backup you made earlier this will put all the data back on the device all apps will need to be re downloaded but app data will still be on the device. Pictures and messages. Will also be their.
    If that did not solve your issue I would then go into the apple retail store

  • 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.

  • How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

    How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
    It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

    There is no group send option like you are looking for.
    To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
    As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

  • How can I send an email to a group from my iPhone?

    I want to send an email to a group in my contacts, but when I select the group, the individuals display for selection.  How can I send an email by addressing it to the group? 

    I recently upgraded my wife's computer to mountain lion so we could sync it with her iPhone, allowing her to send emails to the groups she manages whether she's at home or on the road.
    Is it really the case that the iPhone is incapable of this?  The mac does it fine and the iPhone goes through the motions but then bails when you hit send, saying it isn't a valid address.
    This really makes no sense.  Isn't this the whole point of iCloud?

    how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

  • HT3529 How can a send a group text to 12 people

    How can i send a group text to more than 12people and save it so i can keep as a group for future texts

    In order to group text all at once, you must go to "Settings" on your iPhone, go to "Messages" and just make sure the switch "Group Messaging" is turned "ON". Then in order to group message to 12 people, those 12 people must also have a carrier that could also support group messaging (or so I was told) or maybe those 12 people should have an iPhone too. I think this may help you just a little bit on how to text with 12 other people.

  • How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

    Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
    Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
    I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
    I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
    In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like “o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
    How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kishore.

    Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
    and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
    For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
    Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.
