Information Broadcaster Pre-Calculation Server

We just upgraded to version 3.5. I have a need to broadcast workbooks to several users. I setup a test precaluation server on my PC. I am not sure exactly what the function of these server. Are the workbooks actualy stored on this "server" or the BW Server. Does anyone know what functions the pre caluation server does. Also is there any suggestion of where folks locate this in their production landscape. It seem to only run on a windows environment. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
To calculate an excel workbook, BEx analyzer is launched and reports are run. This is done on the pre-calculation server. The pre-calculation service interacts with the desktop, launches analyser, runs the reports, saves the excel workbook on the server which is then broadcasted.
For a production environment, recommend running this on either a dedicated windows based PC or a shared server. It should be up at all times otherwise the boradcast will fail.

[Inf. Broadcasting]: Pre-Calculated Report.

Dear Expert,
Can you all kindly suggest me what i've to do ?
I have information broadcasting with the setting like this :
Distribution type : Broadcast E-Mail
Output format : Online link to current Data.
With the kind of that setting, the recipient will get the email whose the content is the link to access report.
For my case :
1. User Get email whose content is the link.
2. User click that link.
3. User goes to the BW Website.
4. User key-in the parameter.
5. User run the report.
6. Report is displayed.
With the same case, could i make the proccedure like this :
1. User Get email whose content is the link.
2. User click that link.
3. User goes to the BW Website.
6. Report is displayed.
It means that BW has pre-calculated the report before user access the report. How can i make it ?
Could somebody help me to solve the kind of this problem please .. :).
Or
Is that any other ways to do the same like my requirement above ?
Many tks for the attention.
Best regards,,
Niel

Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

Hi Experts,
I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting. The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
Can you please tell what could be the problem.

Hi Ravikanth,
Thank you very much for the reply
I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'. There we have 3 sections
1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
Can you please help me further to trace the error.
Thank you
Narendra

Information Broadcasting - Error in the Workbook

Hi,
We are implementing Information broadcasting for the workbook. It works pretty good as far as running the workbook, scheduling the workbook on a precalc server. When we try to email the workbook we get the email but the file is corrupted. We see the following error on the precalc server log,
Event Type:     Error
Event Source:     SAP BW Precalcultion Service
Event Category:     Devices
Event ID:     608
Date:          10/27/2005
Time:          3:57:24 PM
User:          N/A
Computer:     NAMDMS049V
Description:
E,608,Error in Calculation error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.,Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
When we open the workbook we get a message that the excel is corrupted.
Has anyone had similar problems.
Your help is appreciated.
Latha

Hi,
Check the below error in the workbook for reference field of the query.
<i>E,608,Error in Calculation error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.,Object reference not set to an instance of an object.</i>
Refresh the work book and check it the values for the column. if you get the same error then check the corresponding reference value of the query. there might be some problems in the query/

[Inf. Broadcasting]: How can i make pre-calculated report.

Dear experts,
Could somebody help me how to produce pre-calculated reports using Information Broadcasting since right now our bw version has been upgraded to 7.0 ?
Pre-calculated report i mean is like this :
(i'll show it throught example,aim to explain it clearly).
1. In the night (Or Everynight) BW calculate/run the report (it's scheduled).
2. In the next morning (Or Everymorning), when user is accessing that report, they don't have to wait the BW to run/calculate the report, since BW has done it in the night.
O.. ya .. btw, i've not had yet the latest e-portal. So i still can not use inf. Broadcasting to burst the data to e-portal yet.
Can everybody tell me how to make it .. ?
Or is there another way to make it using BW 7.0 ?
Many thanks for all your attentions.
Best regards,,,
Niel.

As I understand it, many barcodes don't allow you to script the presence to protected. Changing it in the XML source code is the only way I know of to reliably change it. If you click on the barcode in Design view and then click on your XML Source tab you'll see the first line of code for that object. It will look something like:
<field name="Code2Of5MatrixBarCode1" y="79.375mm" x="76.2mm" w="29mm" h="10.16mm" access="protected">
If you don't have the XML Source tab available to you in Designer, you can open it by clicking the View menu and selecting XML Source from the menu. Be aware that barcode behavior is not the same as other fields, even if you change it in the XML Source to protected the user may still be able to select it with a mouse click.

Error when executing a Query through information Broadcasting

Dear SDN,
We have configured information Broadcasting in the Web Reports---
Scheduled and then when executing the following error is coming
500 internal server error - Microsoft internet explorer
Error when processing your request
What has happened?
The URL http://xyz.com:8000/sap/bw/BEx was not called due to an error.
Note
The following error text was processed in the system BWD : Please enter a valid value for characteristic 0CALMONTH.
The error occurred on the application server asalbwd_BWD_00 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system BWD in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server asalbwd_BWD_00 in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server asalbwd_BWD_00 . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.

Broadcasting and pre-calculated Excel workbook

Hello,
Is it possible to pre-calculate an Excel workbook using the Broadcast functionality of BW 3.5 and save the calculated workbook on the BW server itself. We don't want to send the workbook via e-mail or publish it on the portal. We just want the users to open the pre-calculated workbook from the BW server itself.
Many thanks.
François.

hi,
Using the BEx Broadcaster, you can precalculate and distribute Web templates, queries and workbooks. You can distribute these reporting objects either in precalculated form or as an online link. Your distribution options include sending by e-mail or exporting into the Enterprise Portal.

As far as i know,it's not possible(not sure), i haven't done that.. let's see a reply from other BW experts

Information broadcaster error

Hello all,
I am trying to publish a query in information broadcaster.
all settings are done correctly.
I have selected the Output format to be HTML with a ZIP file.
But when i execute the query I get the following error.
"Error when creating ZIP file (return value 1 when IGS was called) "
How do I get rid of this.? Please help.
Thanks,
kp

Hello,
I tried closing and reopening broadcaster.
The HTML File has to go as a ZIP File. Thats mandatory.
I guess it is a memory problem. Will check with the BASIS guys.
Thanks..

Information broadcasting - precalculation error for BEx workbooks

Hi,
i have problem with Information broadcasting for BEx workbooks 7.0. At the log display of transaction RSRD_ADMIN i get a red status message with " Cannot precalculate workbook XYZ" -> connection transfer did not succeeded.
At the transaction RSPRECADMIN -> show queue (program: RS_PREC_SHOW_QUEUE) , i see that the request is listed as "successful precalculations" (?!)
Some hints:
-Further tests (2 days ago) were successful for workbooks and query email-bursting
-Precalculation server is switching between green and yellow status every refresh
Do you have any ideas or hints?
Thx in advance
Tobias

Hello,
I would like to suggest you something:
Go to Windows -> Services (Start -> RUN -> Services.msc)
Stop the SAP Precalc. Server
Start the SAP Precal. Server Multi-instance.
ON THE PRECALCULATION SERVER, access your system via SAPGUI and go to RSPRECADMIN.
Then, there is the tip, register 10 times the Precalculation Server with different names.
E.g.
Precalc1
Precalc2
Precalc3
Precalc4
Precalc10
Then, test again.
Cheers,
Edward

Error in Information Broadcast

Hi all,
I have created one query in multicube with time variable. The variable is an user-exit type and gets the date of yesterday automatically. I would like to broadcast this report daily. However, the report content cannot update automatically in email while it is correct in web. Please help.
Thanks,
Cherry

Hi,
The report is daily sales report. The report content means the sales figures. The sales figure is extracted according to the time variable. The time variable is an user-exit to get the date of yesterday. When I execute the query in web through Query Designer, the time variable is work. The sales figures can update according to the value of time variable.
Then I tried to set the information broadcast for that query and schedule job periodically, which is same as the steps you mentioned. However, the figures in emails I sent out are the same everyday. The figures cannot update in email based on the time variable.
Please help.

Information needed about bi pre calculation server

Hi
I have certain queries about bi precalculation server
Whether there is a need for a separate server or it can be installed in BI server itself ?
How much physical memory and diskspace it would take?
Whether it needs a seperate license?
In which link you could download the software ?
in which link you could find the installtion documents?
Regards
MA.Sreenivasan

Whether there is a need for a separate server or it can be installed in BI server itself ?
- You need seperate machine to run the server in it. which is installed and run outside BI server
How much physical memory and diskspace it would take?
- Normal system configurations will do, however since it is a basis call ask them to check
Whether it needs a seperate license?
- There is no need of extra licence
In which link you could download the software ?
- Check in the following thread Troubleshoot Information Broadcasting within SAP NetWeaver '04 (BW 3.5)
in which link you could find the installtion documents?
Same as the above link

The Information broadcasting. Precalculation doesnt work.

hi,
i'm trying to send the workbooks by Information Broadcasting but getting the error mentioned below

Send email with pre-calculated Excel

Hello everybody.
I'm trying to send an email with a pre-calculated Excel worksheet, generated by an Agent Reporting job.
But, I don't know how to attach the last generated XLS file, using ABAP.
We have BW vers. 3.1 so I can't use Information Broadcasting (it would be the perfect solution).
I've tried to send the pre-calculated results as HTML (following a very good document found in this forum), but the results didn't satisfied the users. I've already read the document about sending a workbook as attachment, but my problem is I don't know where to get the Excel generated by Agent Reporting.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
