Info Broadcaster

Question

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,
