Information Broadcasting-- FIlter values

Hi All,
We are distributign the data from Information broadcasting as Independent HTML files. Here the requirements is to include the static filter , dynamic filter( Free char), and the variable values these are similar to what the text elements also to be included in the output we distribute.
Let me know the setting to be done for this or How can we achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,

Dynamic "Filter" value in APD

Hi People,
I have a question about APD. Is there any way to inform dynamic filter value to APD? Like OLAP variable in infopackage selection?
For example, I have an transactional ODS receiving data from an APD and it has a "Filter" due to restrict the volume of data. In that "Filter" there are many selections with fixed values for each one (e.g. 0CALMONTH). I'd like to know if is possible to replace "fixes" value for dynamic values (e.g. ABAP routine). Or even, another way to pass values to the "filter" parameters when running it by program RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE .
I appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advise,
Fernando Faian

Well, variables are not possible in analysis processes. I know that some customers are using ABAP routines for a dynamic filtering. Some prepare the filter criteria in another program, and the results are then processed in an ABAP routine within the analysis process. Of course, those results need to be stored in between.
Variables like "previous period" are sometimes evaluated directly in the analysis process, but this also means to code it in an ABAP routine.
Hence, I do not know a simple solution. RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE does not have any further control parameters which could be used for this.

How to retrieve dynamic filter value submitted from control query to .....

How to retrieve dynamic filter value submitted from control query to broadcast query.....
I'm trying to change the hierarchy version determined by a userexit variable in the broadcast query.
The Hierarchy Version should be dependent on the input filter delivered by the bursting query.
But how do I catch the dynamic filter value which has been submitted by the bursting query,
with other words: where does the bursting query store it's out put while sequentially starting the broadcast query value by value?
BTW: the filter value from the bursting query appears under "dynamic filter values" in the information of the broadcast query...
Any thoughts are welcome!

Further information,
Report is used via webi only, not Xcelsius or Dashboard.
Report is consuming BI Web Services.
Although we can pass in prompt values to BI Services, I couldn't find if we could pass a variable or dimension object into this field. Anyone knows?

Information broadcasting- Excel

Hi All,
Our business is divided into 50 Regions. For every region there is a Regional Manager.
There is a query which will take 0Calmonth & Region as inputs and gives the Sales Across the regions.
every month on 1st we have to manually enter the values and save 50 workbooks according to region & sen them to the corresponding Managers.
What is the best way to do this using Information broadcasting.
Online links are not Accepted for the Managers . So we have to send them the Output report only.
Please Help me regarding this.

Hi,
I think there are two ways of doing this.
1. Authorization. - If you create authorization object for sales org and assign each of the 50 managers their corresponding sales org and in the query use a filter for calmonth which is calculated using SAP exit and it wouldreturn the currnt fiscal year period and then you could offset it by -1 to get the previous fiscal year period.
In the broadcast setting mention user specific and the authorization for sales org will ensure that only dataset authorized for a manager will be sent to him.
You can have all 50 manager assigned to one role and then assign the role as recepients , so that the workbook gets broadcasted to 50 manager at the monthend for the previous month.
2. Bursting. In this cast you would have to modify your data model so that the region object has the attribute user name or mail id and then if region is being used in the provider , data from the provider for the authorized region is sent to the user.
Here the limitation is you cannot have more than one manager assigned to the same region.
If you have the attribute of region as email id and maintain distribution groups in the mail server then you could have multiple managers for a region . (have not tested this)
I think 1 st option is beeter.

PerformancePoint in SharePoint 2010 - Unable to get filter values from... Error 10828

I currently am using PPT to expose data from a Microsoft Analysis Server cube. The cube is wide open and requires no permissions to access.
The behavior of my filters is odd as sometimes they work perfectly fine, and other times I receive the following error upon report run:
Unable to get filter values.
An unexpected error occurred. Error 10828. Additional details have been logged for your administrator.
I have looked at the ULS logs and found the following:
An unexpected error occurred. Error 10828. Exception details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Server.PmServer.QueryTimeIntelligenceInternal(DataSource dataSource, DateTime currentTime, String formula)
at Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Server.PmServer.QueryTimeIntelligence(RepositoryLocation dataSourceLocation, DateTime currentTime, String formula)
An exception occurred while rendering a Web control. The following diagnostic information might help to determine the cause of this problem: Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.BpmException: Unable to get filter values. PerformancePoint Services
error code 20700.
This is odd to me, as I can trick the report to run by changing the date filters to another day, then back to the original days that error'ed out and everything is fine. Some guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,
Do you mean that you have Office 2007 and Office 2010 both installed in you computer?
Based on my test, I copy a Access 2010 database into a computer only installed Offic 2007, then using Excel 2007 to import Access database data, no error occurred.
So double click the Access database to see whether the databased is opened with Access 2007 or Access 2010. If it is opened with Access 2010, then try to save it as Access 2007 to
check the issue.

Hi all,
have something strange in the web analyzer:
i have a query with 0plant in the free characteristics
when I do 'select filter value' when it's in the free characteristics -> dump
when 0plant is in the rows and I do 'select filter value' -> dump
when I do 'select filter value' on 0customer that is in the free characteristics -> works fine
In the BEx Analyzer it works fine...
Anybody an idea?

Show Multiple Filter Values in a Web Template

Hello
I have a Web Template based on a query. On this Web Template I can set multiple single filter values for one characteristic.
Now I want to show these filtered values for this characteristic on the web item. This is possible for ONE filter value when you use the XML path (f.e. DATA_PROVIDER:DP1?/BICS_VIEW/SELECTION_STATE/SELECTION/CHARACTERISTICS/CHARACTERISTIC[@name='CHARNAME']/SELECTIONS/SELECTION[1]/MEMBER/@text)
Is there a possibility to show MULTIPLE filter values for one characteristics in a text or input field? I don't want to use a drop down box or the info field.
Kind Regards,
Andreas

HI,
the best ay to do is create a query with same variable parameters as of the main query and place filter Characters on rows.
Use this query in one analysis item and use it on top row of the template as Filters information.This will give better look and feel as well solve your requirement

Information Broadcasting: Monthly Reporting with variable dates

Dear all,
we have created a lot of reports with RD and have pubished the reports in the portal. Our reports have a lot of selection screens. Now we would like to use information broadcasting. We have already created information broadcasting settings. We have maintained fix variants for our reporting
For example:
Variant x1
Organization: C110
Scenario: Actual
Date: is filled by the user Exit
Now we tried to shedule the report. We are using Variant x1 to find the correct selection. The problem is, that we have already saved a fix date in the variant (for example 01.01.2008), because the field is obligatory.
The User-Exit for the variables works with step 1, but the problem ist, that the variant x1 is overwriting our User-Exit value.
How can I avoid, that the Variant is not overwriting the User-Exit. Of course for reporting without variant, the manual entry has priority before the user exit.
Thanks for a soon feedback.
XmxhX

hi,
in order to update months, firstly create variants for the reports. Then implement the below program modifying the users inputs. For current month or last month you have to hard something like sy-datum(6), an you have to hard code the field name for the month variable that you use in query.
Below program is for BI 7.0, you can also check the document. It also contains a method for bw 3.5 variants.
You can schedule this program in a process chain or make variations of this as needed.

endif.
update rsrvariant.

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, Harjan

Hi 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

SPSiteDataQuery - filter by file Title - Can I use variable for the filter value?

I use SPsiteDataQuery to search across multiple lists and filter by file title. I have the file title information in a variable.
Can I use variable in the filter value?
string fileName = "Policies.doc"
SPSiteDataQuery spQry = new SPSiteDataQuery();
spQry.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>fileName</Value>"

If I have understood correctly, you want to search based upon a File title in all the sites. You can include a query to filename in the spQry
spQry.Query = "<Where>" +
"<Eq>" +
"<FieldRef Name=\"FileLeafRef\"/>" +
"<Value Type=\"Text\">" + fileName + "</Value>" +
"</Eq>" +
"</Where>";

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 Nair

Hey 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 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

Multiple exclusion of query filter values

Hello,
We are trying to find a way to do a multiple selection of non consecutive values (codes) to be excluded for further navigation, but either in Excel or Web reports it is only possible to do selections for exclusion one by one and when there are many non consecutive values, it is very time consuming and subject to errors.
Example: for listing customers that buy Material 1 but don´t buy Material 2, filter value 2 for Material, display all customers, then perform an exclusion of all the customers displayed, could be many, then the need of the multiple exclusion, and then do a Material selection for Material 1.
We appreciate any help on this subject.
Regards
Gustavo Sanson

Hi Gustavo,
I think you can use precalculated value sets for this.
I would leverage your example.
You would have a base query 'X' which displays all customers for which material2 ws sold foar a certain period.
This report will run in the background and fill the variable which is of precalculated value set type.
For this you will have to use broadcasting.
Create a broadcast setting for this base query X, name it customers for material 2.
Configure the broadcast setting to refer to characteristic customer for getting the multiple values.
Create a variable for customers in your actual quey and select its type as precalulated variable set.
Now when you run the actual query, you will see the variable in the variable popup and if you choose F4 value help, you will see your braodcast setting name, which is actually the precalculated value set.
Use the operator to exclude.
One advantage with precalculated value set is , you can dynamically generate this list of multiple values at run time and for every period. You can schedule the broadcast setting to calculate the value set at whatever frequency you desire.
Check the link below for more explanation on precalculated value set.
