Broadcaster Distribution Types
Hi All,
I want to precalculate the 7.0 web template so that it won't hit the queries improving performance. I am looking for functionality similar to 3.5 reporting agent settings for web templates (precalculating only data and accessing via DATA_MODE=STORED). I'm on BI 7.0 SP10 with FPN.
When I create a setting in broadcaster for a web template I see only following distribution types:
Broadcast email
Broadcast to portal
Broadcast to printer
Broadcast email Bursting
Broadcast multi channel
When I create a setting for QUERY i see following additional distribution types
Broadcast according to exception
Precalculate value set
Fill OLAP cache
Fill MDX cache
But i don't see the distribution type "FILL PRECALCULATION STORE" which is mentioned on help.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/54/6e6f422f91c153e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Also, if i refer to documentation for creating broadcast setting it doesn't mention about this distribution type:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4a/337f42fb623150e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Points will b awarded for every answer..Please see the message from BI development team I got after creating an OSS for this same issue.
"A "broadcasting into the precalcualtion store" is not possible.
By mistake it was in the documentation and some rollout material for
a while but this has been corrected.
There are alternative scenarios: e.g. precalculation of webtemplates
followed by sending them to users per e-Mail or put them on a file
share via "Export to KM". -
BEx broadcasting: Font types in pdf-documents
Hi folks,
I got a report designed in BEx report designer. In this report I use certain font types. However, when I broadcast this report to our SAP Netweaver Portal as pdf these font types get lost, i.e. the texts in the generated pdf-documents are in other fonts. Do I have to install these fonts on our system? If so, how can this be done? Where can I see the current standard fonts on our system?
Thanks in advance!
ThomasDear Thomas,
After creating a report in Report Designer,just go to Report->Execute.
This will open that report in Web Analyzer.Just check whether your font types are shown as you configured in the report.
If this works as expected,then you will get a report with configured fonts, after you broadcasted into portal.
Make sure that you made teh following settings for the report while broadcasting
Distribution Type : Broadcast to the Portal
Output Format : PDF
Under "General Precalculation" tab,
Portal Theme: SAP Standard
Proper "Layout" tab options.
Hope this will help you.
Please revert me in case of any clarifications.

DB type repository manager for information broadcasting?
I read some article which says only FSDB type of repository manager can be used for BI informaiton broadcasting. I want to broadcast to MOSS server, which uses IIS, but stores everything in database. Is there anyway to use DB or WSDL type repository manager for broadcasting?
Thanks
Jane ZhouWhere did you get this information from? Is there any document that states that? Below is the information I got, it says FSDB has to be used:
Can I use information broadcasting to distribute precalculated queries, Web applications, and workbooks to a third-party file server, Web server or document management systems?
Yes. With information broadcasting, you can precalculate queries, Web applications, and workbooks and publish them into the Knowledge Management of the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
In KM, you can easily create a Repository Manager (CM repository with persistence mode FSDB) that is attached to a file system directory (for example, the directory of an Internet Information Server (IIS)). You have to create a link in the KM folder of documents to the folder of the CM Repository attached to the file system or you can define your CM Repository as an entry point in KM. For more information, see SAP Note 827994 (SMP login required).
Information broadcasting can automatically put a new report on the third-party file server (for example, using the data change event in the process chain). KM offers repository managers for many different file servers, Web servers, and document management systems (such as IIS and Documentum):
1. Create CM Repository attached to file system.
2. Use iView KM Content to create subfolder in file system (optional).
3. Set permission to Administrator (optional).
4. Create link in /documents to folder of CM Repository attached to file system or define CM Repository as entry point. (See SAP Note 827994.)
5. Schedule Broadcasting Settings that export to a linked folder of CM Repository.
Because documents created via Information Broadcasting have additional attributes attached to them which mark them as broadcasted documents, it is not possible to store these kind of documents in a "pure" file system repository because such a repository usually only stores properties like "last changed", "creator", etc. Fortunately, KM provides a mechanism to nevertheless use a file system repository to store the documents. The additional properties will be stored in the database. Details are given here and here.
The "persistence mode" of the repository must be "FSDB" to allow this kind of behavior. Please note that because of the distributed storage of file and additional properties, the property assignment will be lost when moving around the document in the file system using some non-KM tool like windows explorer. -
Alert Notification Email - Information Broadcasting
Dear Forum members ,
I am wondering to setup an alert notification email for Information Broadcasting, so if the job for any reason was failed then system will send an alert notification email to SAP Administrator person
Is any body can help to solve my question ?
Thanks for any help
Regards
udinpetotHi Peggy,
I got a similar requirement but cant able to find a solution for this. Please help me if you have a solution.
A email notification need to be sent to the recipient email id maintained in the broadcaster setting, if the broadcasting fails due to any particular reason.
I started to write a custom program to determine the broadcasting log, but i was not able to find the link between the broadcaster setting and its log (particularly for the scheduling option)
Please let me know if there is any better solution than the custom program.
Thanks a lot for your help
Thanks.

Broadcasting in BI 7.x - Do I need Portal, Missing Distribution Types
Hi,
I'm looking into getting Broadcasting up and running. Errors abound of course. Could someone help with these questions?
1. Do I need Portal to do email broadcasting of HTML/MHTML?
I was under the impression I only needed precalc server for workbooks.
Someone in earlier discussion said I did need server. If you could point me to documentation
that mentions I need it to simply send HTML/MHTL reports it would be greatly appreciated.
2. I only see "Broadcast Email" and "Broadcast to Portal" as available Distribution Types when setting up a Broadcast.
What do I need to see the additional types as listed in the documentation?
○ Broadcast by E-Mail
○ Broadcast to the Portal
○ Printing
○ Broadcast by E-mail (Bursting)
○ Broadcast by Exception
○ Distribution Over Multiple Channels
○ Precalculating Value Sets
○ Filling the OLAP Cache
○ Filling the MDX CacheI did find the below excerpt.

In SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 (2004s), which BEx Web functions require SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal?
As soon as you use any of the new BI capabilities for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BEx tools (such as BEx Analyzer & Broadcasting), you require usage types BI Java and Portal. The only exception is if you do not use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BEx tools and ONLY use the old 3.x BEx tools. -

Monitoring / Alerts for Information Broadcasting Netweaver 2004
Hello sdn,
we are currently evaluating Information Broadcasting on SAP Netweaver 2004 (BW + Portal) on SPS19.
For a special requirement of a vendor we would like to send him a precalculated Excel Workbook using the precalculation service.
So far so good. Everything works fine.
Now we are wondering, whether there are any special monitoring methods or tools we can use in case an error occured and the mail is not being send.
Of course we could launch transaction scot or sm37 to check the errors, but we would like to go productive with a solution that triggers a mail event or something in case of errors.
Any hints welcome.
Thanx in advance.
MarkusHi Murali,
thanks for your reply. What we currently found out is that you can check rsrd_log where you can see the chronological steps for your task.
But still we havent found a standard opportunity to be informed automatically in case of an error.

Hi Friends,
Can any one give info about the SAP Information Broadcaster ?
Regards
VijayaHi Vijaya,
You can use 'Information Bradcating' whenever we want to distribute queries, query views, Web templates, or reports to Predefined distribution channels like e-mail, portal, or printer.
The following distribution types are often used in BEx broadcaster:
1. Broadcasting Via e-mail:
Routine activity of sending a report Via e-mail For e.g. Daily Production or weekly Sales etc.
2. Broadcasting by Exception:
Send E-mail only when some exceptions are met. For e.g. Sales Value for a day less than 5000 Qty or Sales Exceeded 10000 Qty etc. This requires some customization in alert categories so that you will get this option in distribution type as Broadcasting by Exception.
3. Filling OLAP Cache:
Run the query in Background so that subsequent fetches need not hit the data target (cube, ODS ) instead that information can be picked up from the Cache.
You can reach Information broadcasting via many routes.
Via Query Designer - Click on the Drop Down next to Publish' - BEx Broadcaster - Create a new setting.
In some cases you cannot see schedule button. That is a authorization problem. You need to get authorization S_RS_BCS.
Trust this helps.

Some questions on Information Broadcasting
Hi,
We're implementing Information Broadcasting. I have some questions and would be delighted if you could answer some or all of them!!
1. When using Web-templates I get the following message after opening my zip-file (Independent HTML-file) thru e-mail:
- Bex Broadcaster does not support Precalculation. What's the meaning of this? We get precalculate figures.
- The broadcaster demands that Javascript can be executed in the browser. How to solve?
2. When I broadcast a query as zip-file HTML with seperate MIME files then the precalculated views do not have drilldown functionality, i.e. the navigation block functionality does not work (static). I put navigation on Distribution channel. Is this normal way of working?
3. Broadcast functionality does not give possibility for Distribution type: 'Export to Enterprise Portal'.
We have an Enterprise Portal. Is additional customizing required?
4. Process chains have the Event Data Change process. This only works if I attach it directly to a cube. When I connect it to the process load data (i.e. to an Infopackage) it does not work. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
Kind regards, HarjanHi Harjan,
Not sure what the issue is with regard to (1).
With regard to (2), you need to to click on the 'Filter Navigation' tab in the BEx Broadcaster, enavle filtering, and select the characteristics you wish to filter on.
With regard to (3), yes, there's additional configuration required in order to be able to broadcast into the Enterprise portal. Here's the documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/84/30984076b84063e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
With regard to (4), the idea behind integrating the broadcasting event into a process chain is to only perform the brodcast if the info provider was loaded successfully to ensure the end user has accurate and up to date information. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ec/0d0e405c538f5ce10000000a155106/content.htm

SAP BI - Information Broadcast through E-mail.
Hello,
I am facing issue with information broadcasting.
I set up a Broadcast setting,
1) Distribution type: Broadcast Email
2) Output format: MHTML as Zip file
3) Variable assignment: determine here
4) Filter navigation: No filter
5) scheduled monthly
When i broadcast the report, the user receives the e-mail with the Zip file.
But when he open the file he is not able to see the data (though there is data in the system)
email send
Bex report -
> BI System -
> user (user receives the email but cannot see data)
This occurs for different users. But the user in the past has received e-mail with data.
Please help me in understanding this.
Regards,
Suraj S NairHey there,
Have you checked the SAP Notes mentioned below:
Note 958314 Broadcasting: Limitations for the MHT format
772246 Display of MHTML mail incorrect
Also, it would be advisable to run the support desktool from Note 937697. If you find any RED errors, try to correct them using the suggestions given (see right-hand side). This checks the communication configuration between systems and platforms and may highlight errors which would affect the broadcasting of emails.
Hope this helps! -
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,
SarangPlease note that not all the distribution types are available for all the objects.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c9/e4d13f7fb44c21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
For queries, you can send them either by mail or export to the enterprise portal. XML is not available for queries.
Thanks.

Information Broadcasting - need for additional Licensing?
One of the key features that is prompting us to upgrade to BW 3.5 later this year is the Information Broadcasting functionality.
This will allow us to easily push reports directly to our user base rather than the traditional method of manually emailing workbooks. However will this generate a need for additional licences? From the testing we have performed so far in order to broadcast a report the receiving user needs to have an account in BW together with the email in the address book.
We will have a considerable number of users whose only interaction with BW will be to receive a report that has been broadcasted. Does anyone have any experience of this same issue?
any help/advice appreciated.
thanks
MikeHello Michael,
One possibility is to create an email alias that is a distribution list of the users that you want to broadcast to. Create a broadcast setting, in step 2 of the broadcaster wizard specify the distribution list. You shouldn't need to create SAP logon IDs for these users.
I hope that this helps.
Cheers,

Issue with Information Broadcasting...urgent
I try to dispatch a query through Information Broadcasting with the Distribution type chosen as "send as e-mail" and output format as HTML.
I am receiving the mail with three attachments,
1.0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING_00001.htm.HTM
2.BWReports_ie5.css.CSS
3.pixel.gif.GIF
Upon saving all the files in a folder and opening the HTML,it appears without the stylesheet properties and the images.
My requirement is I need to get the report embedded in my mail.Any clue how to acheive this and should I change any settings.Also any idea as to why the images are not displayed in the HTML.Any kind of help will be appreciated as it is very urgent.
Thanks,
Akhila.In the Broadcast setting, output format select <b>Independent HTML file</b> and you will receive only one file.
I guess your current setting is set to <b>HTML with seperate MIME</b> files.
