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.
Regards
Pankaj

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

Settings for information broadcasting

Hello,
Can someone tell me where I can go and delete information broadcasting settings to stop emailing. I created a few test queries and also scheduled information broadcasting for those queries. Those queries were deleted without deleting information broadcasting settings. Now I need to go in and delete settings for those queries to stop getting emails from them.
Thanks,

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.

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.

parameter high_01 like RSRVARIANT-HIGH.

if rsrvariant-VARI = variable AND rsrvariant-vnam = vname.
rsrvariant-SIGN = sign_01.
rsrvariant-OPT = opt_01.
rsrvariant-LOW = low_01.
rsrvariant-HIGH = high_01.
elseif rsrvariant-vnam = vname.
rsrvariant-SIGN = sign_01.
rsrvariant-OPT = opt_01.
rsrvariant-LOW = low_01.
rsrvariant-HIGH = high_01.
endif.
update rsrvariant.
if sy-subrc 0. insert rsrvariant. endif.
endselect.
RSRVARIANT-VNAM must be your month variable.
RSRVARIANT-LOW and HIGH must be your automatic month like sy-datum(6)

Information Broadcasting issue

Hi,
I have a BW query which is automated to run in background through Information Broadcasting to send the report to couple of users.
The query 'A' runs for 3 hours in Production , it used to run fine. There were no changes done to the Broadcaster settings.
The only thing that was changed is only this query 'A' used in a single process chain, later a new query 'B' is added to process chain run in background thru broadcaster. The queries run thru RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER in the process chain , and I tried the same running manually.And it returns the result only when I run around 15:00:00 in the evening.
The next day or 2 onwards this query 'A' runs for 3 hrs but never sends an email. But query B also runs for 3 hrs but sends an email.
I have trouble shooted this in the following way:
1) The process chain runs through BATCH ID which also runs similar process chain for other region and it works fine. So it is not BATCH ID issue.
2) New information broadcaster settings were created and then ran. it never sent a mail. so not problem in broadcaster settings.
3) Checked SCOT transaction to see the mail is transmitted or not. there is no sign of the emails pending for the query A.
4) If i run this in morning or noon or even 14:59 PM it never sends the mail. ONLY at 15:00:00 when run it sends email .
5) there is no flaw in the report A as it returns the results in email at 15:00:00 run but not prior to that..
6) There is nothing in the setting that this has to run only at 15:00:00 time.. and it runs fine at that time and sends email
All priorer runs it runs for 3hour but never sends an email.
I need some experts help on this. Did any one experience this kind of issue.
Could some one tell me any other check points..pointers..etc.
Greatly appreciate your help on this.
Thanks

Hi Ragini,
Is there any setting based on SCOT Transaction for delaying e-mail broadcasting ?? check numbers for parameter "Maximum waiting time for repeat send attempt procedure" ...
Also some times mail server queues mails for some time and then sends in bulk .. Just check with admin guys ..
Above could be one of the reason for not getting broadcasting till certain time .
Also there is a program called "RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINT" link
"http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8a/e2fd3f2c14e769e10000000a155106/content.htm
which is used to preset the times for broadcasts. ..
Just check in SM37 if some job using same program has been defined over there ...for time 15:00:00
Hope that helps.

Information Broadcaster- change attachment filename

Hello,
we're implementing Information Broadcasting to distribute csv-files to our information-consumers.
Now we have the problem that we want to change the generated attachment filename to a more meanful name.
Does anybody has a way to solve this problem?
With kind regards Markus

HI MArcus,
Can you please explaint the problem/requirement in detail again?
Hi Gillan Leo,
If you don't want to display the footers in the broadcasted email then you can hide or remove it with settings. Please follow the below path and select for no footer.
SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Netweaver -> Business Intelligence -> Setting for Reporting and analysis->Settings for Information Broadcasting-> Settings for Distributing E-Mails.
Please assign points if helpful.
Thanks,

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.

BASIS Settings for Enabling Information Broadcasting in BW 7.0

What BASIS settings should I enable for Information Broadcast in BW 7.0. Email settings work fine in SCOT. When developer goes to Publish-> Bex Broadcaster, it does nothing. It should ideally pull IE. In Dev, it works fine but in QA it fails.

Hi,
I do have the same question.
What else beside SCOT has to be done for a proper Information Broadcasting functionality in BW 7.0?
You could figure it out?

Problem while scheduling email via information broadcasting

Hello,
I am trying to schedule one email using information broadcasting.
When i say create new scheduling, i can see following as a default,
Next start at tommorrow's date at tommorrow's time.
What i want is that it should display today's date and time by default.So that i can schedule the email for today at any time.
How is it possible?
Please help me out.
Regards,
Steve

Yup.. you need to check the implemented server time zone.. you can see also from menupath system status..
if you want to change i think it will be global change across all the users at all the regions..
I think you can see in one of SPRO settings.. i think so..

Hari

Broadcaster Settings in BW7.0 WebTemplates

Hello experts,
my customer uses an individual copy of the standard program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER for mass publishing of web reports within Information Broadcasting. This individual copy manipulates the entries in the table RSRD_SETT_NODE_A ; variable values in the settings (written in RSRD_SETT_NODE_A) are replaced by entries coming from a control table (containing user names and their indiviual variable values).
For WebTemplates created with BW7.0 (Nw2004s) the format of the variable string in table RSRD_SETT_NODE_A has changed. Where a variable string in BW 3.5 followed the format &<variable_name1>&<variable_name2>&<..>&<variable_value1>&<..> the variable definition in BW7.0 Web Templates is implemented as a XML string.
Now in case of my customer's application it is not that easy to replace the variable values in the XML coding.
Does anybody use the RSRD_SETT_NODE_A in a similar way as my customer and has found a solution for BW7.0-WebTemplates ?
Thank you.
Holger Engelking

Hello Peter,
thank you for your advise. You cannot know that, but in our case one user can have more than one assignment of variable values (e.g. more than one cost center), so it is not possible to derive ONE variable value from a user name. Unfortunately this does not solve my problem.
Best regards,
Holger
PS: are you sure that I would be able to derive my variable values from the sy-uname. I would expect this to be the user who executes the job (Broadcast administration background user).

Scheduling question for information broadcasting

I am confusing between 2 options In information broadcast.
1) executation at pre-defined time
2) direct scheduling at background processing
I have no idea what is the different of each.
I read the sap help but it still does not make clear to me

HI,
In BI 7 we have various options..
If you have Java Stack in BI server then it will use Portal and then there you can configure the settings, you need to give one technical name and then schedule the same.
We faced the problem, in my system there is no Java Stack so we used BW 3.5 WAD in BI 7 system and then in WAD we configured the Broadcasting settings and saved with one Technical name then used RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER program and create Varient for "Broadcasting settings and saved with one Technical name " and in PC after Cube load we given this Program with Varianet , so once dataloads will happen the reports will distributes.
Thanks
