Info Broadcaster Schedule by first N workdays?

1) How can I set up an Info Broadcaster schedule to run and email a report only on the first N workdays of the month?
2) Also need to do a report one only on the last workday of the month.
Thanks,
Geoff

HI,
For that you need to define time for broadcasting settings, as mentioned below:
You define the various times for scheduling Broadcast settings by defining background jobs in the following way:
       1.      Select Define Job from the SAP menu, or use transaction SM36. This brings you to the Define Job screen.
       2.      Use the following naming convention when entering the job name: TP_BROADCASTING_
       3.      Choose Start Condition. This brings you to the Start Date Value dialog box.
       4.      Choose Date/Time. The corresponding fields appear.
       5.      Enter the desired values and highlight Execute Job Periodically.
       6.      Choose Period Values. This brings you to the Period Values dialog box.
       7.      Choose the desired value and save your entries. This brings you back to the Start Date Value dialog box.
The following values are supported for Information Broadcasting:
§         Daily
§         Weekly
§         Monthly
§         Other periods (only based on Day/Week/Month)
       8.      Choose Save. This brings you back to the Define Job screen.
       9.      Choose Step. This brings you to the Create Step 1 dialog box.
   10.      Choose ABAP program and enter the ABAP program RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINTi into the Name field. Save your entries.
   11.      Choose Save in the Define Job screen.

Broadcasting schedule u2013 first 7 days

Hi,
I want to schedule my Report Broadcast E-mail (BI.7) such that it runs only for the first 7 days of every month.
How can I do it?
What happens if I schedule with the options:
Periodic all 7 Day(s)
Or Week(s) or Month(s)
Please suggest. Thanx!
-Me

Hi,
So if I want it to run on 1st seven days of each month I have to create 7 separate schedules as:
Periodic all 1 Month(s)
Periodic all 2 Month(s)
Periodic all 7 Month(s)
Have I understood you correctly?
Regards,

Info Broadcaster

Gurus,
We are on BI 7.
I executed the query in BEx analyzer. I got the result as per what I enter on the variable selection screen.
Now I right-click on the result screen ->Info Broadcaster.
I have schedule and run this on the background job. No problem. The reason why I do this (using Info Broadcaster and schedule as background job) is I want to cache the result in memory so that query will have better response time.
My question now is:
1)     Do you know if we should schedule this as background job or should we do it via Process Chain? (I am not sure how we can do this via Process Chain, can you please show me the steps?)
2)     How can schedule and cache all the navigation steps (free characteristic) available on the query via Info Broadcaster?
3)     Do we have other better way to improve the query performance? (I have also Aggregate built).
Please advise, thank you.

You can use program: RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH to broadcast reports using process chain.
Steps:
1. Create broadcasting settings for the report in Bex Broadcaster. Give a variant name for that settings.
2. Using this program create a program variant in which you need to mention the Variant name of broadcasting settings (created in step 1) for that particular report(s).
3. Add the Program step in process chain with the program variant you have created in step 2.
4. Schedule the process chain.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Samay

Error when editing Broadcast Scheduling Settings

Hi there
We are experiencing a problem when editing Broadcast Schedule settings. The message that appears is:
[code] Java system error: Server repository could not create function template for 'RSRD_X_GET_INFO_PROXY' caused by: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103)
[/code]
To produce this error:
1. Open a web template in the browser, then click on the Broadcast button
2. In the first screen that opens, click on the link that takes us to the scheduling settings
3. Right-click on an existing schedule setting, select EDIT
4. A popup screen appears informing me that there was an error loading the template,then if I click on a tab or try to do anything further, I get a screen with the above error message.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew

Broadcast schedule with Data change to InfoProvider EHP1

Hi all,
We are working in an EHP1 environment and are currently trying to schedule a Broadcast from a Process Chain.
The thing is that when we try to create the broadcast setting, under scheduling options we only get the "Direct Scheduling in the Background Processing"
Is there a way to schedule a setting with Data Change to InfoProvider under EHP1 ? Is the option still available ?
Waiting for your comments,
Santiago J. Reig

Solved.
To be able to select the specific option in the schedule of a broadcaster setting you first need to add the Process Chain step, run the chain once, and only then the option will be available.
Regards !

Broadcasting schedule not visible

With a webreport I can use Broadcasting with Distribute command. I this workflow I have a popup with the choice :
Step 4 From 4: Determine Scheduling Details
Determine when the broadcast setting is to be executed
1/ Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider
2/ Scheduling in SAP Background Processing
    Create New Scheduling
    Periodic All, Day(s), Week(s), Month(s)
Next Start at At
<b>The (/2) second part Scheduling in SAP Backgound is not visible, only visible when I use a SAP ALL user</b>
Have you any idea ?

Thank you for your reply. We checked RELE in the S_BTCH_JOB Authorization but the SAP Scheduling option is still not displayed for our user in the Information Broadcaster. The first part (Data Change in InfoProvider) is displayed, but not the second part that allows the user to schedule a specific date and time and frequency. Can you give us any other authorizations to check for?

Varible for Information Broadcasting Schedule (send Workbook with E-mail)

FYI: I set a broadcasting schedule to send workbook with e-mail. The pre-calculated server was set already.
My problem is that I want the value in selection-screen to be dynamic.
e.g. I want the date (variable for 0CALDAY) to be filled with value of current date (the date on the day that the schedule is executed).
When i set the broadcasting schedule, the wizard asks me to set the variable for selection screen. ("Variable Assignment"). I selected the variance that i prepared. (However, for that variance the date is fixed.) So, for everyday that the schedule is executed, the date value of the selection-screen is not the date that the broadcast schedule is execute; but it was the date on which i set the schedule.
Is there any method to set a dynamic variable (something like a dynamic selection of ABAP report) ?
or How can i solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your inputs in advance.
Rlyn

Hi Rlyn,
Have you thought of using standard SAP exit variable for restricting 0CALDAY in the query in the workbook on which the setting has been scheduled.
The SAP exit would automatically determine the current date and query your dataset as per the current date and then broadcast.
Other way to do this would be to create a variant ....as you have done and to change the value of the variant everyday using an ABAP program to change the value in the database tables (RSRVARIANT for 3.x and RSPARAMETERIZA)
I would suggest you to try the former method(SAP exit variable).
Hope it helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Info Broadcasting - Unwanted link in report

We are using the BEX Information Broadcaster to publish web templates as HTML files into Knowledge Management folders on the portal. The finished report has a generated link to an "Overview Page for Precalculation." We do not want the users to be able to access this page (which is created during the broadcasting process).
We can go into the HTML of the finished report and edit the link out but we want to change the Info Broadcasting settings so that the link is not generated during the publishing process.
Any help?

US Dates via Info Broadcaster

Hi,
We have a used setup with SU01 date values of mm.dd.yy
When they run a query it returns US format dates as you would expect.
When we run a workbook (same query as above) through the Info Broadcaster it lands with European dates dd.mm.yy
This can't be standard - are there US users out there who receive Info Broadcaster workbooks with US cal days in them?
Thanks
Gill

Hello Gillian,
The time setting you maintained in SU01 will have impact only for those users. If you want to maintain the same time standards, then Goto TCode -> SPRO ->SAP NetWeaver->General Settings->Time Zones->Maintain System Settings & Maintain Time Zones

Broadcasting scheduling settings not transported along with object BRSE

Hi ,
I transported object BRSE (broadcasting object) with the Transport Connection (RSA1 transaction) from development system to the test one. I also transported previously the object TMPL (the Web Template in which I customized the broadcasting).
The transportation was succesfull, everything was transported Ok except from the broadcasting schedulling settings. I really don't know why?
I'll appreciate any help on this issue.
Best regards,

Hi Alex and thank you for your answer.
The transport log shows this warning:
Event ZSICO_LDM (DC) does not exist; registration of setting Z_ENVIO_QUERY_RECONC_RC deleted
Broadcast setting Z_ENVIO_QUERY_RECONC_RC activated successfully
We don't created any event manually, so we think that ZSICO_LDM is an event that was automatically created.
Z_ENVIO_QUERY_RECONC_RC is our Broadcasting scheduling that sends a query by e-mail.
Now we can see Z_ENVIO_QUERY_RECONC_RC on RSA1 -> Metadata Repository finding the query, but when we open the broadcast settings for this query, it does not appears.
Do you know why?
Thanks a lot.
B.R.

Bex Broadcasting Scheduling Questions

I am scheduling workbooks for Broadcasting. There is an option for "Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider. I would like to use this option along with a Direct Scheduling in the background Process option.
First - Is that possible?
What I want to achieve is the make sure my broadcast only run after the infoprovider is up to date and not have all the broadcast kick off at the same time (don't want to run out of background processes).
Second Question - If I can choose both options, what happens when the infoProvider is not up to date (load failures) and the time specified in the schedule has past?

Steve - I just replied to another post with how we handle it
This works if you have control over the naming of the broadcast settings
Create broadcast settings with a naming convention - ie ya12, ya13, yb12, yc12
Do not schedule these
The ya, yb, yc will be used for multi threading
Go to program RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH and set up three variants with wild cards
ya*
yb*
yc*
Then in your process chain on successful completion call the abap with the variant 1, then variant 2 etc
In addition you can set the broadcast to run in serial processing if you wish with the settings in RSBATCH and process BROADCAST
