How to broadcast workbook?

Hi BI Expert
Can you share with me how can we broadcast workbook? Do we need to install precalculated server if broadcast of workbook is required? Your input is much appreciated.
Regards
Kang Ring

Hi Mayank
Currently, Bex broadcaster not working in my environment due to missing installation of JAVA component. Understand that precalculated server allows us to store the workbook in a central place. So that repective party can just take the precalculated workbook to perform their analysis. Without precalculated server, we have to execute the query multiple times in order to broadcast the query via email to the respective party.
Is my understand correctly with or without precalculated server, we are able to broadcast the query via email?

So i have to restart the Service on the server and also followed all the steps listed in the How to..troubleshoot information broadcasting pdf.

Can anyone please tell me step by step procedure on how to Broadcast Workbook using Email Bursting .
Eagerly waiting for your feeback on this.
Thanks inadvance,

Hi Harshal,
I opened an SAP note and they came up saying
"Please be informed that BI 7.X PreCalculation service is not available
with GUI 710. you have to use GUI 640 for precalculating the workbooks.
Precalculation service for GUI 710 is still in testing and not delivere
d for customers yet.
Please refer to the below mentioned note:
1145589 : BI 7.X PreCalculation service delivery schedule"
I did not try on 640 yet...please let me know if you find the solution for this..
waiting for your reply.

Precalculation Server error after 10 broadcasted workbooks

Hi gurus,
i have a question concerning broadcasting workbooks. We are using the newest precalculation server with patch 13. The first 10 workbooks are calculated and sent via email. The rest of workbooks calculated are sent as a job but the RSRD_Log transaction shows an error. It begins with "Unresolved exception occured in the precalculation server" then next message "System.Runtime.InteropServices.comException. The RPC server is unavailable (Exception from HRESULT:xxxxxx) "
Then some other messages are displayed. Then at the end it says cannot precalculate Workbook. In rsprecadmin the server is green and ready.
Is there any restrictionin sending via Email?
How can i get the server again to continue sending?
How can i clear the queue, to get the precalculation server ready to continue scheduled workbooks?
Thanks and kind regadrs,
Murat

Hi Edward,
we are testing the broadcast functionality and we want to go live first week in september. I hope you remember and suggested me the note which came out in CW33 with the precalculation server patch 13 . we are using it but still NVs but there is also the issue with the sizing. Last night we scheduled 16 times the same workbook.All 5 minutes one workbook should be sent out. 2 Precalculation server were set up to deal with them. In the SAP document "How to ...Troubleshoot Information Broadcasting (BEx Workbooks)" in chapter 2 it is mentioned that when ycurrently you can have 10 workbooks in the queue. Therefore we set up 2 precalculation server with 10 workbooks capacity. Then we set in the Broadcast setting the load balancing option without selecting any precalculation server. My intention would be the first 10 workbooks should be broadcasted with one of the precalculation server. After he has reached his capacity the next workbooks would be broadcasted with the second precalculation server. Am i wrong?
When i check the queue i see the 16 workbooks in "Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations" but with a duration with 0 seconds. the log says in RSRD_LOG says as described before the first message is "Unresolved exception occurred on the precalculation server" then "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800 0706BA): The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception" and at the end "Cannot precalculate workbook ZBROADCAST_TEST". I can see that when load balancing the second server is not used.
But while seraching for precalculation server it says "Precalculation server PRECALC_2 has only 0 free instanzen => not selected" but why. it has never been used why 0 instances free?

Broadcasting Workbooks through Process Chain

Dear friends,
I want to broadcast workbooks through process chain. I have tried two programs
1) RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER
2) RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH
My requirement is that, I want a log to be mailed to me stating the success or failure of the broadcast of the workbook.
Through the first program, I am able to send the log to my e-mail ID however I am not able to send the workbook.
Through the second program, when I execute the process chain, it immediately says process chain executed. After some time the log mail comes stating succss. After some more time the workbook gets broadcasted.
I want the workbook to be broadcasted first and then the log should come specifying the success or failure of the precalculation of the workbook in the precal server.
Please let me know if somebody knows how to do it.
Regards
Himanshu

Hi Sapna,
Yes You have to install pre-calculation server for broadcasting and the process for that is
http://service.sap.com/swdc > Download>Support Packages & Patches>Entry by Application Group>SAP NETWEAVER -->SAP NETWEAVER 04 -->BI Precalculation
and can check its status in transaction : RSPRECADMIN or
Transaction SPRO>SAP Referance IMG> SAP Netweaver> Business Interlligence>
Settings for Reporting and Analysis> Settings for Information Broadcasting> Administrate Pre-calculation Server.
and the precalculation is done : Open Query>Publish>BEx Broadcaster , then you can also make new settings --> three or foue tabs and one of the tab is pre-calculate.

Broadcasting Workbooks Variable Assignments Question

We have several Workbooks that are being broadcast. The majority use Fiscal period and Fical year as input variables. Right now we have to manually go in and update the variable assignments for these broadcast every week.
Question -
Without have to setup a new custom variable in the queries that will default to the current week and year, is there a way to update the broadcast variables automatically with the current fiscal period and year?

As with any normal query - cmod the variable so it defaults to last week, current week based on sy-datlo or sy-datum and then find the last week
The broadcast setting will then fire with whatever has been defaulted
Edit - sorry I just saw your without cmoding how do I do it..
Sorry that's my only suggestion

Hi Sonu
Here are the exact steps for configuring the precalculation server:
uninstall both .NET framework 2.0 and .NET framework 1.1.
Theninstall .NET framework 1.1, framework 1.1 SP1 and framework
1.1 SP1 hotfix 886903 in that order. Finally install framework
2.0 later on.
Update Office 2003 to the latest SP and hotfix level
Update Microsoft Windows to the latest SP and hotfix level
reinstall your frontend as follows:
- Remove your frontend via SAP Front-End Configuration Wizard
- Choose at step 2 Add or remove one or more SAP Front-End
component
- Flag the components which you want to have installed/
deinstalled (GUI / BW Frontend / SEM Frontend)
- Alternatively 'Uninstall all SAP Front-End components'.
- Reinstall the latest Frontend and GUI patches for 7.10
check the security setting for macros in Excel (found
under Tools-> Macro -> Security -> Security Level ->
Medium and check "Trust access to VB Projects".
936112: "Precalculation server help for troubleshooting"
1058376 Advanced Precalculation Server Corrections
Generally, when ever a Workbook is precalculated in the
front-end, you see "At Capacity" status in transaction
RSPRECADMIN. Or, due to some networks issues if the job
is terminated while pre-calculating there may
be some chance for this status to appear in RSPRECADMIN
HOPE THIS HELPS:-)

How to Broadcast subset of a data in a report to the respective users

Hi
I have to broadcast the subset of a data in a report to different users. I believe this can be done using busting email broadcasting option. But im not sure about the settings.
My report looks like below:
Accounting Clerk             Customer              Invoice Amount           Discount Amount
Clerk1                               Customer1           100                              50
Clerk1                               Customer 2           200                              70
Clerk2                               Customer3            150                              55
Clerk2                               Customer4            80                                10
I need to broadcast the above report to my respective accounting clerks. ie I need to broadcast only the first two records to clerk1 as an email and only the last two records to Clerk 2. The accouting clerk info object has email address as an attribute.
Please let me know how to achieve the above requirement. Your help would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Sadeesh

Thanks for the reply Alex.
Is it mandatory to maintain the email address in SU01 or can the email adddress be maintained as an attribute of say accounting clerk in my example?
For example say i have 20 accounting clerk, do i need to create 20 variants one for each accounting clerk in broadcasting? Please clarify.
If yes for the above query, are there any way to reduce the no of variants.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

Sadeesh

How to broadcast both 5.0 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz?

I have a computer science background but not much knowledge of computer networks and installation. I just installed a cisco 3602i router connected to a 2500 wireless controller. Everything is working fine, the SSID is broadcasting and users can connect to the network. My question is this: in order to use both 2.4 and 5 Ghz band radios, do I need to create a new and separate SSID? I honestly cannot find online how to even select 5.0 vs 2.4 in the web GUI or CLI. Am I just completely missing something or are the frequencies just automatically chosen when connected to the network>?

My question is this: in order to use both 2.4 and 5 Ghz band radios, do I need to create a new and separate SSID?
If you go to WLAN > SSID and look under Radio Policy, it will tell you which radio the SSID will be broadcasted. If you chose "All" then the SSID will be broadcasted on both radios.
