Information broadcasting format

Dear Gurus,
I am broadcasting my sales query results to department managers in pdf format currently. Unfortunately, the pdf output displays the static and dynamic filter values which I would like to hide. How can I possibly achieve this?

Hi,
In template 0analysis_pattern_export, you can modify the web item info_export parameters. This, of course, affects all exports, just not broadcast.

In Bex under the Business Explorer / Tools, you should have a Distribute option to distribute workbooks. This should open the web browser based Information Broadcasting inerface which allows you to send a wkbk immediately, or you can schedule the execution and distribution.
I believe with 3.5 SP15 there is an option to distribute as a csv file. I believe the Note has you add an entry to a table that adds csv as an output option, but I think the technical functionality actually exists before SP15.

Information Broadcasting in MS Excel Format to the users

Hi All,
I am trying to use information broadcasting and send reports in an MS Excel Format to the users.
But could not find any options in SAP 3.5 to send Output in MSExcel to the users..
I read in the SAP Docs that we can send the Excel output in XML format and also WorkBooks...do we require any additional third party Softwares or uograde patches to achieve this?
Please share your experiences on the Above in SAP 3.5.
Thanks,
Mike.

Information Broadcasting in SAP BI 7.3

Hi All,
We have a requirement to send a report to few recipients through Information Broadcasting in .CSV file. When I entered Info Broadcast setting through BEx analyzer, I am not able to find the option to send the file in .CSV format. I could only see MHTML, HTML and Links to current data. Could you please help me out in solving this?
We are on SAP BI 7.3
Thanks.

Hello,
Unfortunately it is only possible to broadcast with the output format CSV with a query or query view. That is by design.
Best regards,
Michael

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: 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.

Sarang

Is Precalculation server a prerequisite for Information broadcasting

Hello Everybody,
I wanted to know is installation and configuration of pecalculation server a prerequisite for enabling Information broadcasting feature in BW 3.5 i.e; inorder to send emails to users .I mean inorder to send mails to users is it necessary to install pecalculation server first.
Regards,
Saumya

The Precalculation server is only needed if you want to distribute workbooks. In order to distribute workbooks, the BW needs access to a computer with Excel on it. The precacluation server service software can be installed on a standard desktop PC. It can be installed on mutliple desktops, or you can consider a centralized server, but for initial testing, a desktop will do. There are a number of OSS Notes to apply, several from SP 17 that deal with problems occuring as a result trying to distribute multiple wkbks simultaneoulsy.
You do NOT need it to distribute either query links or html formatted output.
You also need an IGS server if you want to be able to send your output in a zip file format.
Don't have the link handy, but try searching SDN on Precacluation Server - there is a good paper (think it was a How To...) that was just written in April on troubleshooting Precalculation Server issues.

Information Broadcasting Authorization at Query Level

Hi,
I would like to know, is there any way to authorized a user at query level in information broadcasting?
For example, there are three plant P1,P2 and P3 showing in Query, now i want to broadcast this query to E-mail to two user U1 and U2 in following manner.
1.) User U1 get only Plant P1 Data.
2.) User U2 get only Plant P2 Data.

Yes, you can do that. For that;
Plant should be authorization relevant info object
(ii) you must have roles to give access to users at Plant level
(iii) Users U1 and U2 must be SAP user IDs and should have required role for Plant access
(iv) Query to be broadcasted must have auhtorization variable for Plant
Once the basic setup is ready, you can test it by executing the report for individual users U1 and U2 and they should see data only for respective Plants.
Now in the broadcasting setting, specify the users U1 and U2 in User box seperated by semi-colon and tick the checkbox "User Specific" - this will make sure that data is executed as per the data aurthoziation and also format will be selected as per the user profile (date format etc).
If U1 and U2 are not the SAP users, you will have give their email addresses and will have to create two different broadcast settings to send data for selection plants.
I hope it helps.

Gaurav

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 Independent HTML file and you will receive only one file.
I guess your current setting is set to HTML with seperate MIME files.

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 direct email delivery of CSV files?

Hello,
Is there any way to configure Information Broadcasting in BW 3.5/Netweaver 04 such that email delivery of CSV files is possible? I see that the pre-calculation server will generate workbooks. Though, we really need delivery direct to CSV.
Alternatively, has any one come up with a process of delivering Bex web links with a template that can generate CSV? I saw this second option come up in a previous topic, but I am not sure how this would work.
Regards,
Joel

Hello,
Sorry I did not see your question until today. It seems that you posted right before I went on vacation. º To answer your questions
To Broadcast a Template for CSV extract only
1)     Create a new template
2)     Add a table
3)     Set the new table as HIDDEN
4)     Add Button or In-line command

You can send the workbook automatically when you schedule thru information broadcaster.

Thanks = Points in SDN

Hi Sanjev,
Regarding your case ..
I suggest you use information broadcasting ..
By this, you can arrange the schedule to broadcast the report to corresponding recipients, also you can send the workbook to ..
But you need to do preceding setup for it.
