How to schedule a webi report in csv format without header?

I have a requirement to create scheduled csv reports without table headers? I am unable to do this from CMC. It gives the column headers by default in the exported csv file. However, in the webI rich client, I have an option to save the document as "CSV-Archive" which allows me to omit the column header.
How are these two options different and is there a way to get the "CSV-Archive" option from CMS?
Looking for your valuable suggestions.
Thanks
Sukanto

Is there a way to get the "CSV-Archive" option from CMS?
Customization of existing options or features in CMC is not available, it will become an enhancement request, you have to place this request in SAP Idea place.
WebIntelligence Rich client is a desktop tool, auto schedule of reports as .csv is not possible, save as CSV and save as to "CSV Archive" from Rich Client is a manual job.
BI launch pad, CMC are BOE Server components have the ability to auto schedule as .csv, as a default behavior column headers will be exported to CSV along with report data.
As a workaround, have a copy of original wibi reports in your webi reports you have to hide table headers and schedule them to save as .csv
To hide table headers:
Edit the report -> Select table block properties -> Chose 'Format Table' -> Under 'General' properties 'Display' options un-check "Show table headers"

How to schedule the webi report based on data changes in the report data

Hello,
I want to schedule a webi report based on data change in a column in the report.
The scenario is something like below:
1. If a data of a particular column changes from 2 to 3 than I would like to schedule this report and sent it to users mail box.
I know how to apply alerts or schedule a report or data tracking for capturing changes in the report but I dont know how to schedule the report only for data changes.
Anybody done this before.
Thanks

How to schedule a WebI Report for the list of users that it contains in it

I have a WebI Report in BOXIr2 which contains the list of Employees Details (Employee Name, Mail ID, Emp Code) who had missed their timesheet for the week, Please let me know Is their a way that i can send mail notification through BO report Scheduling to the list of Employees who are listed in the Report, Thanks in advance !

Hi,
in BO XI 3.1 you can do this using a publication object. Unfortunately in XI R2 this works only for DeskI documents. You may want to consider using the BOE SDK for this. I must admit that I do not have a specific solution for you a workflow may look like this:
1) Schedule your WebI with the user list to be exported on a network drive
2) Build a java program that reads in the file, connects to the BOBJ repository and schedules the report using the recepient list.

How to set a webi report's caching format?

Hello Community,
I have come to a hurdle that I can not conquer on my own and for as much as I have tried can not find samples or documents on how to accomplish this.
I am writing code to schedule webi reports and the piece that handles the caching format and locales keeps failing. I have used 2 approaches:
The first approach I used the IWebiProcessingInfo.getPrecacheTypes()
here is some reference:
Webi document: webi (IInfoObject)
caching: an panelcontaining a list object containing the selected locales
try {
            if (caching.getFormatOptionExcel()) {
                ((IWebiProcessingInfo) webi).setPreCacheXLSEnabled(true);
                loadLocales(IPrecacheType.CeOutputType.OUTPUT_XLS, caching.getSelelectedLocales());
} catch (SDKException ex) {
            Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
private void loadPreCacheAndLocales(int type, List locales) throws SDKException {
        IPrecacheType pt = ((IWebiProcessingInfo) webi).getPrecacheTypes().add(type);
        pt.getLocales().clear();
        pt.getLocales().addAll(locales);
Although this bit of code executes successfully, when you try reschedule the object via the CMC I get a null pointer exception on the web page.
The second approach I used is: ReportEngine preloadOutputCache(int, String, OutputCacheEntry[])
try {
if (caching.getFormatOptionExcel()) {
                ((IWebiProcessingInfo) webi).setPreCacheXLSEnabled(true);
                ReportEngine wbe = getWebiEngine();
                wbe.preloadOutputCache(webi.getID(), agent.getSeverName(),
                    new OutputCacheEntry[]{new OutputCacheEntry(OutputFormatType.XLS, caching.getSelectedLocalesAsArray())});
} catch (SDKException ex) {
            Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
This approach erros out with the following:
com.businessobjects.sdk.core.exception.common.NotImplementedException: This feature is not implemented. (Error: RWI 00013)
at com.businessobjects.sdk.core.exception.ExceptionBuilder.make(ExceptionBuilder.java:144)
at com.businessobjects.sdk.core.exception.ExceptionBuilder.make(ExceptionBuilder.java:115)
at com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.internal.WIReportEngine.preloadOutputCache(WIReportEngine.java:519)
Anybody know whats going on or perhaps point me in the right direction on how to correctly set the caching format and local for a webi document.
Thanks guys!

Schedule Webi report to CSV - text qualifier

Hi
We are running the latest version of Business Objects 4.0 SP04 (FP3) with Patch 1.
I am having a problem scheduling a Webi report to CSV format. The text qualifier option only allows the choice of ' (single quote). Not only is the text qualifier on text fields - it's also on numeric fields. This obviously causes a problem for Excel and other systems.
Is there a way of removing or replacing this text qualifier or preventing numeric fields from been wrapped with the text qualifier?
We are not having this problem with the interactive "Save as - TXT file" option.
Thanks for any input on this.
Kieran

Hi Experts,
Seeking your opinion on the following issue,
We are in version SAP BO 4.0 SP 4 Update
While trying to schedule a report with as CSV, the only option available as the Text qualifier is single quote ( ' ). Any sort of clue on why we don't see the option "None" listed in the combo?
Thanks,
Thilani

Schedule a Webi report from the CMC

Hi, ALL
Is there a way to schedule a Webi report from the CMC without using an email account in the
'from' box? There are other placeholders that can be used but I don't know how
to use them please advise.
Thanks.

Hermant,
You need to make sure you configure the proper email server. Go to the CMC - Server > AdaptiveJobServer>Destination>Email. You may need to enable Email as one of the Destinations.
You must configure all the HIGHLIGHTED options.

How to create a event at the time of scheduling a webi report

Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished.

These are Webi, user created reports.
Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished (this can be obtained via a SQL call, service call, etc).
The issue is that if a user schedules a report for 9PM but a process to move data, etc has not completed then that forces the user to keep re-freshing the report hoping that the process has been complete.
Ideally, in the selection UI add to the dropdown for 'when' the option 'Use Process X completion Time' (since it is a daily report).
Then starting around 9PM check to see if that 'time" value is populated then refresh (run) the report. Or it could just be a flag that the process has finished.
User's in the webi environment are asking for this, and moving their reprots to BO is not an option. That's why they have the custom webi enviroment.
Thank you.

There is no very good way to create a working event based on a file as the file will need to be deleted as soon as the event is triggered. However there are work around which can be done for this. Here is a link which is discussing about the process.. http://scn.sap.com/thread/1677109
Once you have created a file based even in CMC > Events> System Events and made a work around program to delete the file once the event is trigged all you would need to do in webi is in launchpad just schedule > Events > select the file based event from all available system events. Here is a screenshot how to make a report run based on a event..

Reporting Agent will be only supported in the 3.X runtime in 2004s,start using Bex Broadcaster.Reporting agent is going to be obsolete or is would say.
All the new functionalities will be implemented in Broadcaster only.
Advantage -The old Reporting Agent in BW 3.x could pre-calculate the data of a template and access it through the URL . It could not broadcast queries, workbooks or web templates by email or to KM folders.

Scheduling in Webi Reports with Changing Prompts.

Hi Experts,
I have a Webi report which is on top of 2 BEx queries connected through BICS. The Webi report has more than 4 crore records which makes it difficult to load each time when I refresh. I need to schedule this report so that the user can view the report based on the last instance.
The report has 3 prompts namely Plant, Material and As of Date.
The user uses only Plant and As Of Date. There are only two plants for example A and B. The user needs to run the report for each plant separately for all the days.
Suppose today is 03/07/2013.
The user will run the report with Plant A and As of Date: 03/07/2013 and second time with Plant B and As of Date: 03/07/2013.
Next today is 04/07/2013.
The user will run the report with Plant A and As of Date: 4/07/2013 and second time with Plant B and As of Date: 4/07/2013.
I need your expert opinion in achieving this while scheduling. Hope you understood the scenario and will be helping me out in this.
Thanks in Advance,
Abdul

Hello experts,
I am very interested in this topic, as I have the exact same requirement as Abdul:
Daily scheduling of Webi reports, based on BEx queries and connected through BICS. Done on BO4.
I followed Aashutosh's link above, and i read something very interesting on page 3:
Current Options Using Standard Functionality
Until BusinessObjects 4.0 is released, it is not possible to use BEx variables (which will be made available by
the BICS connector) or the last load date variable. This makes it impossible to automate the scheduling of
Web Intelligence queries filtered by dynamic dates or time-slices (for example, yesterday, last week) using
standard functionality. "
Is this already functioning on BO4/Bex? Do you have an idea of how to implement it?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Francisco

Schedule a Webi report

Hi All,
I am getting error "A database error occured. The database error text is: Failed to execute MDX query. Reason: Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: <unknown>, value <unknown>). (WIS 10901) " while scheduling a Webi report.
Could anyone help me regards the error?
Regards

This error message means the parameter assigned to the prompt of the report while scheduling, was not correct.
Please check the parameters in the prompt section while scheduling and assign proper values.

Getting error while schedule a webi report

Hi All,
I am getting error "A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. [Measures].[4KO5AOUTL3ZKE55WDDOMUB0AI]. (WIS 10901) " while scheduling a Webi report.
Could anyone help me regarding the error?

Hi Manoj,
Go to the controls tab in parameters in universe designer and there increase the "Limit size of result set to" and "limit execution time to".
Also in webi go to the edit query and increase the "maximum rows retrived" and "maximu retrievel time".
I think this should avoid partial results.
Thanks,
