Infomation Broadcasting with Email Bursting with hierarchy

Hi,
We have a scenario where based on the employee hierachy, we need to use email bursting. We have following emplyoee hierarchy.
Employee_Manager
-> Employee_1
-> Employee_2
The infocube contains data for expense made by each employee. So if employee_manager should be able to get expense incurred by employee_1, employee_2 and employee_manager.
The requirement is to send report to manager for expense made by his/her team.
This employee infoobject has the attribute as username where the email should be sent.
The problem is ->
when I run the email bursting with selection employee manager, it only sends data for employee_manager and not for employee_1 and employee_2.
So basically the email bursting does not consider hierarchy.
Any inputs is appreciated.
Thanks,
Parin Gandhi.

Hi Parin,
Hope you are doing well. It seems bit tricky. I would try by creating a hierarchy node variable & restricting that to emploeyee manager. It may help you to avoid skipping of em_1 & emp_2 from distributing report. Not sure if it helps.
Cheers,
Ramesh

Problem with Email/Bursting configuration?

Hi,
I am having an issue with configuring email/bursting for my report. I have set up the email server according to the docs, and verified that the server is working (we also use it as OBIEE Delivers server, it's working there).
When I schedule the report to burst, it just says Running forever, and I have to manually cancel it.
I am thinking there is a problem in the bursting config in the report. I attached the screenshot below of my bursting config. Is there anything that looks wrong with my config? When I run the query in SQL Developer, it returns the rows properly.
Thanks

If I uncheck BUrst Report when scheduling it, and type in my email address as delivery destination, it works fine.
When I check Burst Report so it uses the bursting configuration in my report, it hangs. We need to use the bursting feature though to pickup the email addresses in the database.

Problems with email address with Apple Store on Iphone 4S

My old email keeps coming up on my IPhone 4S when I try to update apps even though the new current one shows in ITunes Store Settings and on ITunes on my PC. Does anyone have a solution?

Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

Customer Broadcasting - EMail Bursting Broadcast with hierarchy

Hi,
At the moment I broadcast with the broadcast function email bursting to our customer. (single customer)
I maintained a mail adress for each customer.
Now we have a special demand.
I should broadcast to customer groups.
Customer Group is a special hierarchy level in our customer structure.
For example one customer group have 10 single customer.
So for example the customer from hierarchy level 2 should get a report with all customers in hierarchy level 3
Is it possible to work with hierarchies in the email bursting function ?
Thanks
thomas

Hi Thomas,
Im not sure by hierachy group but you could so it by role. So all customers who you assign a certain role will get a certain report.

Broadcasting - EMail Bursting

Hi,
Can any one please answer below questions on email bursting.
Lets say our Vendor master data consists of 50000 vendors,If i opted to broadcast a report based on email bursting,Does it shoots email to all the 50,000 vendors or only vendors for which transaction data exists during report execution period.
We have few issue when we scheduled broadcasts manually,When we triggered multiple broadcasts at same time our pre calculation server is out of resources and broadcasts are failing.If i opt for email bursting will the system shoots email all the vendors at the same time.
When we broadcast email to vendor our requirement to broadcast output to 2 email (one vendor email and the other is internal email which will be constant at all times for records)...my understanding is with email bursting we can send email to a single email id...how can i address this issue.
Sorry for 2 many questions,But unfortunately i never worked on email bursting.
Thanks for your time.

HI,
it is not possible to use more than one Email-addresses.
There is no user-exit for this stuff. The only thing i could imagine, is that you send the mail to a distribution list of your mailserver.
May you can create a distribution List on Mailserver, add the receiptients to that list, and change the email-address in the attribute to the mail-address of the distribution list.
Within SAP is no chance.
best regards,
Kai

Multiple email addresses for single characteristics in Email Bursting

Hello Experts,
We have requirement of Bursting email to external sales representative with only their relevent data.
We have used Bex Broadcaster with email Bursting as distribution type . But the problem is we have to send out
email to multiple sales reps for a particular sales rep i.e for a particular Sales rep we have to maintain multiple
email ids of sales rep and infoObj can have only 60 chars long. So I cannot put more than one email id.
Is there any work around to overcome this difficulty.
Also I could have use individula schedule but number of schedleis very high around 200.
Thanks,

I understand you issue and I dont think It can be solved in BW as they system is not expecting the users email address to be more that 60 chars, however you could create a rule in outlook (or whatever mail application you use) to forward all emails containing this header to the other email addresses. Thats my only idea

Broadcasting Email Bursting option not working for different mprv

Hi BW experts,
I am facing an issue with Broadcaster settings wherein I am using Email Bursting option.
My setup is like following :
I am using info object ZHRLVL to store hierarchy levels within an organization.
ZHRLVL has an attribute namely email address(E1) which contains the email ids of various managers.
The info object ZHRLVL is included in 2 Multiproviders namely M1 and M2.
email address(E1) is enabled as navigational attribute and in all reports based on M1 and M2 there is a user input variable available for the same.
Both Multiproviders contain transactional records which have ZHRLVL values filled up.
Also in master data ,against ZHRLVL values(the same which are present in transactional record) , email address are maintained.
However, when executing IB settings queries on M1 and M2, Broadcasting works for M1 but however it doesnt work for M2.
Any help in this regards will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Parth

Hey Sebastien,
Thanks for noticing that.My Mistake I didnt mention about the error message.
The error message comes in form of a warning saying that the recipients could not be determined.
This happens on top of my maintaining the email ids in master data against the corresponding transactional record values.
Would apperciate if you are able to suggest something here.
Best Regards,
Parth

Broadcast email - Bursting: Could not determine recipient

Hi,
I created a broadcast setting for email-bursting and checked it/saved it/scehduled it successfully.
The broadcast setting is trying to burst a runtime statistcis query by user (infoobject 0TCTUSERNM for users is contained in the query). The characteristic for receipient determination is "0TCTUSERNM" and the attribute is "person responsible" with attribute value being set to "user name"
However upon executing this setting I get the following error :
Bursting: Could not determine recipient with a yellow light against this error message and the bursting email is never sent-out.
can someone please advise the remedy for this problem
regards
Kulmohan

Hi Simon,
No, I donot have any person allocated to the blank entry for the characteristic being used for bursting
Can you please advise What I would need to do for this?

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.

Bursting with BO EDGE ?

How can we do bursting with BO EDGE?
I have a Crystal Report(2008) which is extract data from SAP through the SAP integration kit. I also have BO EDGE 3.0 and I would like to publish this report to many sales rep with their own data. Then, I know with BO Enterprise there a publication feature that allow to do that but I cannot see it in EDGE. Could you explain step by step how to do bursting with Edge 3.0 and Crystal Report 2008 ?
thanks in advance.

In the document "Crystal Reports 2008 User's Guide" I can read;
"Advanced report publishing
Also known as report bursting, this new advanced-publishing feature is a
platform for the mass distribution of personalized content. Multiple reports
can be created based on different data sources, combined into one desired
file format (for example, PDF), loaded with personalized content, and then
sent to a dynamic list of recipientsu2014all in one action. The content can be
archived, printed, or emailed in separate actions, or simultaneously. This
feature makes scheduling much faster and easier, and provides the ability
to conduct cost effective one-on-one marketing campaigns and other
personalized high-volume reporting.
Note: This feature is available only with a BusinessObjects Enterprise
Release 3 server environment.
Then, I repeat my question because we don't have BO Enterprise: Can we do Bursting with BO Edge Series 3.0 or 3.1?
I'm asking because even though there's a note, sometime it's confuse between Enterprise and Edge.
