Information broadcaster setting with 2 variants

Hi Experts,
I have a workbook to broadcast, there are two different queries in this workbook and they have the same variables.
I am creating IB settings with this workbook, but precalculation failed to send it out.
I believe the problem is with variant, I have created variant for both queries in the workbook and have the same name (variant contents are the same)
say if we have two variants for two different queries in the workbook, is it possible to set up IB using variant and how?
Please let me know if there is any solution to my issue, if not I will just use variable assignement (a bit work on this one, a lot of material codes and others, plus, I need to create more multiple IB settings for this workbook).
Kind Regards!
Feng

  • Broadcast Setting with Cust. Exit Variables & Manually Entered Variables

    I have a sales report with the following parameters:
    Week (defaulted via customer exit)
    Sales Office (defaulted via customer exit)
    Sales Group (defaulted via customer exit)
    Customer Number (not defaulted)
    Based on information that is automatically determined when a user executes this report the Week, Sales Office & Sales Group automatically populate.  Customer is blank.
    I would like to create a number (say 5) of broadcast settings to send user-specific data to members of a role.  In the settings I would like the first 3 parameters to default automatically but I would like to enter specific values of 5 customers.  For instance, users would receive data for their sales office & group for the prior week related to Customer 1, then in a separate email (from a separate setting) they will get their specific info for Customer 2, and so on.
    My issue is I can either not create a variable assignment and then the query runs for ALL customers or I can create a variable assignment for a specific customer but then the values for the other 3 parameters are also saved and my Customer Exits do not work.
    In R/3 or in BEX Analyzer I could create a variant and for the first 3 variables I would choose Save Field Without Values so that my Customer Exit would populate these fields.  Then I would enter a specific value for the 3rd variable.  I don't see a way to accomplish this same requirement with the Create Variable Assignment piece of the broadcaster.  Am I missing something?

    Hello Jonathan
    have you fixed your problem meanwhile?
    We are having a similar problem:
    We would like to use the SAP exit feeded variable 0CMONTH (reference charateristic: 0CALMONTH) for broadcasting functionalities, based on a query.
    0CMONTH itself has SAP-default setting under details' property "Variable is Ready for Input", flag active set.
    If we select such query for broadcasting functions, creating some variants with characteristic variable 0CMONTH, how would these variants behave after the current month will change, changing to the next month?
    Example for 0CMONTH:
    Now: July 2008, 07.2008
    Next month: August 2008, 08.2008
    Would the initial created and saved broadcaster variants also change the month-setting as it would do in the BEx area?
    Or must the user change these variants each month again?
    Any reply is much appreciated.

  • Using RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER to run Broadcast setting with ALEREMOTE

    Hi all
    I'm experiencing some problems executing a broadcast setting using RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER in a process chain.
    If I were to go into RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER and type in the broadcast setting and click on the checkbox for Execute Online, I am able to receive the broadcast email
    However in a Process Chain, if I were to schedule the execution of RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER with variant of similar selection, I would not receive any broadcast email.
    It seems that when executing through the Process Chain, the userid is ALEREMOTE rather than my userid. Is the ALEREMOTE unable to use the option "Execute Online"? What settings do I need to configure such that the ALEREMOTE can work in this case? Btw, ALEREMOTE has access to SAP-ALL.
    Thanks
    Brendan

    Execute the setting online will take the authorization of current logged on user, while executing the setting in background will uses the authorization user indicated in the setting. You need to check if the Authorization user of the setting indeed has access to all the objects that suppose to be broadcasted.

  • Information broadcasting: unable to fill variant in precalculation  tab

    Hi all,
    I have been trying to broadcast a query in BEX BROADCASTER but when i try to fill in the variant in the general precalculation tab i am not able to create a new variant as it always takes me to web analyser screen and no option for saving the settings.
    What i did is created variants in web analyzer as well as bex analyser but still in vain.
    But the broadcasting is running if i go through analyser first then click on send and do the settings in the INFORMATION BROADCASTING tab.
    But still there is only limited option available der no bursting or pdf or XML generation is allowed.
    I need inputs on this because i need to broadcast it as XML format.
    Regards,
    Sarang

    Please note that not all the distribution types are available for all the objects.

    For queries, you can send them either by mail or export to the enterprise portal. XML is not available for queries.

  • How to change the owner of an Information Broadcasting setting?

    Hi,
    I have created and scheduled some reports to be distributed via the Information Broadcasting functionality. I would like know if it is possible to change the "owner" of the setting in order to cater for the following scenario.
    User A has created and setup a few Information Broadcasting settings. I would like to change the ownership of the setting so that User B has access to make changes. At the moment, users only have rights change their own settings.
    Appreciate any help...
    Cheers,
    Lashan

    Found a workaround although not ideal. I can temporarily assign the user the required rights to view all setting. User can then copy the settings (using save as option) and once done I can remove the rights.
    However, the report format would have been customised and saved (using save view option) prior to setting up the information broadcast. When transfering ownership I also need to transfer the ability for the user to edit the saved format without starting from scratch. Any table or transaction I could use to do this? So at the moment I have a solution to enable the new user to change the distribution list and schedule, but not the report format which is required.

  • Information Broadcasting settings Problem.

    Hi All,
    When we are trying to change the Information Broadcasting settings for some queries. We are not able to edit the existing settings as the message pops up saying system is not ready for change and asking us for the modifiable system. Is it possible to change the information broadcasting settings with out making the system modifiable?.
    Regards,
    Aditya.

    In which system you are trying to do this?
    I understand in DEV system, there should not be any problem of doing the system modifiable and then do the Broadcasting setting and then transport it to Qly and Prod.
    However Qly and Prod system are not supposed to be modifiable.

  • Information Broadcasting Settings (Dynamic Change or User Exit)

    Hi,
    We are working on BI7 and we have a need to print a cost centre specific report on different cost centre specific printers.
    This relationship of user to cost center to printer is stored in a custom table(Ztable) as given below:
    User Id         Cost Center              Printer
    Abc               2000                        XYZ
    It is easy to setup a setting in the Information Broadcasting and use it for printing. But problem is coming from the fact that it is a static setting and a new setting is required for each record of above custom table (Ztable).
    Also, if there is any change in custom table entry, which is linked with R3 source system then we need to do manual changes in the Information Broadcasting settings. There are more than 520 printer records in this Ztable.
    It could be better, if there was some way to use a single information broadcasting setting and use it with different parameters but I could not find any such option.
    Other possibility is to create the settings by a background job but I did not see any such possibility as well.
    Is there any user exit that can be used to manipulate Information Broadcasting settings in background?
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Praveen

    hi praveen,
    One of the important enhanceents in BI7 broadcasting was to "individualize the content based on master data"......
       for example....If the last field in your master data record was an email address...
                            you can  create a report,   filter by the UserID (1'st field) and email it...
       I didn't send it to a printer....but I am guessing it should not be much different than emailing...
    Good luck, BB

  • Deleting Information Broadcasting Scheduled Jobs

    Does anyone know how to delete an Information Broadcasting setting after the associated workbook has been deleted? The IB job runs when the data provider is updated and just hangs because it can not find the workbook. In IB distribution you can view the scheduled settings, but it does not let you delete.
    Regards,
    Craig Stephen

    I am encoutering the same problem from last one month, There was a scheduled job created for Workbook as daily frequency.
    The workbook now has been deleted but the scheduled job created for that workbook is triggering everyday.I am unable to delete the setting now.Can you please help me out for deleting this background job!!!!

  • Information Broadcasting - change to query does not show

    Hi,
    I'm on BW 3.5 and have created a scheduled Information Broadcasting setting for a query, that is emailed. This has been working fine for some weeks.
    I have now changed the query, removing two key figures and replacing them with two formulas.
    The output from Information Broadcasting does not show the new key figures, nor does it show the old key figures (!). I have maintained the IB setting, edited text in the message and saved it. The text has changed, but not the query content.
    So, how does one make Information Broadcasting recognise query changes? Obviously, I could delete the setting and set up a new one, but this is a poor solution - there must be a better way. Or not?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi Dave
    Can you please post the result for this issue or mail me the solution at [email protected]
    i am facing the same issue and need to solve this problem asap.........

  • Information Broadcaster Performance

    Hello
    When an Information Broadcaster setting has been executed, whether it's being executed right this minute or scheduled at a later date, is this creating a background job that can be viewed within SM37? If so, are these jobs using Work Processors within the BW system?
    Could these Information Broadcaster active jobs be competing with daily data loads for work processors? Can there be a performance hit on the system if too many broadcaster jobs get executed at the same time?
    Also, I understand the Pre-Calc server is mandatory for using the Information Broadcaster, but does this server act as the processor for queries that are being executed? Or is this simply providing the formatting of the broadcasted report?
    What is the main function of the pre-calc server?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    What is the main function of the pre-calc server?
    1. You can either schedule for later time or execute it immediately.
    2. Yes it will create a job and view it in sm37 and it uses the work processor for the bw system.
    3. You can do it right after data load if you need to broadcast ever day or week depending on your PC schedule. or you can independelty broadcast without the data load. There is broadcasting in the PC to broadcast after data load.
    4. Yes, in my experience performance badly hit when you have so many broadcasting scheduled.
    5. Pre-cal server is not mandatory for broadcasting, you need pre-cal only for broadcasting workbook but queries, templates.. you can use information broadcasting without pre-cal.
    pre-cal server is for calculating workbooks offtime and it will either load to your client machine  and you can use pre-cal for broadcasting workbook.
    hope that helps.
    thanks.

  • How to change query navigational state in broadcast setting

    Dear experts,
    I have a question information broadcasting in BW 3.5
    We have the following usage of broadcast settings
    - open query with bex web
    - add special filters, drill-downs etc.
    - add this as a new broadcast setting with Mail recipients etc. - the format is "html-file"
    - schedule the setting
    This works fine.
    But, if I have to make changes to the navigational state (e.g. set additional filter) of the broadcasted query for the future - how can I do that?
    How can I open the "view" behind the setting directly?
    Best wishes
    Gregor

    I have not found a solution yet but currently I have a workaround:
    Before switching to Broadcaster I generate a bex-web-bookmark.
    Then i add this bookmark in the text of the broadcasting seeting.

  • Change owner of Broadcast setting?

    Does anyone know how to change the owner of an Information Broadcasting setting, without re-creating the setting?
    We have several settings where the "FROM" on the email is one person (since they are the owner) and in the future may want to transfer this to another person.  The only way we've done this in the past is to delete/re-create which is time consuming.  Changing the "Authorizations user" does not affect who the email is from.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    I would suggest you use some Dummy created user for IB settings, that different people might maintain.
    Other then that, ask your Basis people to change the owner directly in the system table RSRA_SETTING.

  • Information Broadcaster with variants

    Hi All,
    We have to send workbooks via Information Broadcaster to e-mail recipients. So, the recipients should receive the data for a special variant of an excel workbook. So, I have to create a variant in the information broadcaster to manage the distribution.
    So, we have app. 200 recipients with 200 variants. Is there any possibility to create the variants automatically via BAPI or something else. Or has anyone an creative idea to fix the claim.
    Regards
