Hello BI experts,
Is there any difference between the Information broadcasting Vs Bex broadcasting.
i see from the query designer / report designer > tools > publish > Bex broadcaster
sow where is information broadcaster if it is different.
Thanks in advance,

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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!

  • Regarding Information Broadcasting

    Hi to all,

But My doubt is, is there any compulsory to have Information Broadcasting process in our process chain ?
    plz give the suggestions about that.

  • Information Broadcasting on Portal and KM

    Hello all,
    We are about to implement a BI-Portal integration for information broadcasting soon. At present we are planning to integrate BI and it's BI runtime portal for information broadcasting - and our BI Portal does not have KM or TREX yet.
    I would just like to confirm one issue. I've read materials but I'm still not 100% sure on this issue: does Information Broadcasting require the KM installation together with the EP?
    It says on the FAQ:
    In addition, using Broadcasting not only using e-mail but also with the SAP NetWeaver Portal requires the additional installation of a J2EE Server with SAP NetWeaver Portal or KM.
    What I understand, do correct me if I'm wrong, is that when you publish into the Portal - it will reside on the PCD or in WebDAV (KM).
    Question: is it mandatory to install KM for this scenario? Or can information broadcasting live by without KM?
    I believe there are benefits on having KM - like subscriptions or have it accessible via BEx Portfolio under the business explorer role in the portal.. but I'm quite confused as to requiring to have KM installed.
    Thanks in advance all.

    Thanks for the prompt response.
    It does appear that KM is required.. but some articles I've read did not point out it be mandatory. So overall, this one's kind of confusing -- well at least for me having no experience on BI-Portal integration.
    But the SAP Note 830385 - [SAP Note 830385|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_bex/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383330333835%7d]though it's based on SAP BW 3.5 and SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 - it stated that:
    "Knowledge Management and Collaboration must also be available on the portal because the required BW Java classes are also installed during this installation."
    Anyways, thanks again. And I will leave this thread open running and hopefully someone who has implemented Information Broadcasting can shed more light on this topic.

  • 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,
    Sarang

    Please note that not all the distribution types are available for all the objects.

    Overview: Integration into the Portal
    Use
    A number of settings need to be made in the BI system for the integration of SAP NetWeaver BI and SAP NetWeaver Portal. Some settings depend on one another, which is why we recommend that you follow the given sequence when you maintain settings in the BI system and in the portal. The report Maintain Settings for Integration into the Portal (report RSPOR_SETUP) supports BI system and portal administrators in setting up a secure connection in both directions, step by step. First the report asks you to make the required entries and then automatically determines additional specifications that you either have to enter manually, or that are entered automatically when the steps are performed.
    Template Installer
    As an alternative to report Maintain Settings for Integration into the Portal (report RSPOR_SETUP), you can use the template installer. The portal-based template installer enables the automatic configuration of the settings required in the portal and in the BI system. For more information, see Template-Based Configuration.
    Requirements
    Before you start to maintain settings, you enter general information. This information is used, in part, by various steps. If you determine this mandatory information at the start, you can perform the steps in a simple, logical sequence.
    The report summarizes these specifications in the selection screen. The specifications are saved for the current session so that the transactions for the individual steps can be called separately from the SAP Reference IMG.
    BI administrators require authorization for transactions SM59, SMGW, RZ10, STRUSTSSO2, SM30 (table RSPOR_T_PORTAL) and, in some circumstances, STMS.
    Portal administrators need to have the portal roles super_admin_role and com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase assigned to them. They also need to have access to the portal file system.
    It is recommended that, from an organizational point of view, BI and portal administrators work together closely.
    Connections Between SAP NetWeaver BI and SAP NetWeaver Portal
    This report supports you in establishing connections between BI and the portal. The portal communicates with BI using the Web protocol http or https. Communication is establised based on the system object in the portal.
    BI uses an RFC connection to communicate with the portal. The portal is the RFC server and BI is the RFC client. The report is used to create an RFC destination.
    Single Sign-On Between SAP NetWeaver BI and SAP NetWeaver Portal
    Single Sign-On saves you having to log on to BI and the portal separately. Single Sign-On uses SAP Logon Tickets. SAP Logon Tickets are created in the source system and contain the system ID, user, validity, and a digital signature. The digital signature is created by using the private key of the certificate. In the target system, the signature is verified by using certificates with public keys. The target system must trust SAP Logon Tickets from the source system; this requires the source system to be entered in the access control list (ACL).
    For single sign-on to work correctly, the URL must be fully specified with the host name and domain. For this reason, you must also specify the portal URL prefix and domain in step 3. When you call BI iViews within the portal, the hostname from SAP NetWeaver AS determined in step 7 is used if this is a Web template from BEx Web Runtime 3.x For this reason, you must also specify the domain there. See the documentation for different domains under SAP Library -> SAP NetWeaver -> Security -> User Authentication and Single Sign-On -> Authentication on the Portal ->Single Sign-On -> Single Sign-On with SAPLogon Tickets -> SAP Logon Tickets for Multiple Domains.
    Standard settings
    The individual selection screen values are now described. For a more detailed description of these values, see the documentation on the individual steps.
    Creating RFC Destinations in the J2EE Engine
    Program ID: The program ID is the name of the registered server program (see step Creating RFC Destinations for the Portal).
    Portal Directory: The Portal Directory is used to start the SAP J2EE Engine Administrator tool. The file ./admin/go.bat has to be in the directory. The SAP J2EE Engine Administrator can also be installed locally on the administrator's PC for remote access to the portal server.
    BI User and BI Password: The BI user and the BI password are used by the J2EE Engine to request signatures from the RFC function modules in the BW system. Users can be compared using ALEREMOTE.
    Creating RFC Destinations for the portal
    User-Defined RFC Destination, Program ID as RFC Destination and RFC Destination : This report allows you to choose any name for the RFC destination. Otherwise the program ID is used (see above). If you choose a user-defined name, enter the name under RFC destination.
    RFC Description: The RFC description is the text that is displayed in the BEx Web Application Designer and BEx Query Designer applications as the description of the connected portal.
    Maintaining Portal Server Settings for the Portal
    Default: To select a portal as the default portal, select the Default indicator. A warning will be produced if another portal is already marked as the default portal.
    Portal URL Prefix: The Portal URL prefix is required for input help in the BEx Broadcaster. The report uses the portal URL prefix to list particular iViews for maintaining or testing the settings. The portal roles super_admin_role and com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase are required for calling these iViews.
    Prefix of RM for BI Metadata: The RM prefix for BI metadata is required in the step Setting up Repository Managers for BI in the Portal and also has to be maintained in the portal server settings. The prefix determines the path in Knowledge Management under which BI metadata is accessed by the Repository Manager.
    Exporting the BI Certificate into SAP BI
    Export Path and Export File Name: The BI certificate is saved under the specified path and file name and can then be imported into the portal.
    Creating BI Systems in the Portal
    Path in Portal Content and Name in Portal Content: The BI system in the portal is created under the specified path and name in the Portal Content Studio.
    Template for Defining BI Systems in the Portal: As a template, you can choose either System with Load Balancing orSystem with Application Server when creating a BI system in the portal. The necessary information is determined and displayed depending on the template you select.
    BI Properties: The following properties are specific to a BI system. If the identifier BI Directory Provider is activated, the BI system is displayed in open dialog when selecting queries or InfoProviders. The properties BI Documents for InfoProviders, Master Data, and Metadata contain the path to the respective CM Repository Manager for storing BI documents in Knowledge Management. These properties are used when the documents are migrated to Knowledge Management.
    The property BI Master System means that the BI system is the central persistent store in the portal. The BI master system is used to read and execute Web templates. The running BI Web Runtime requires exactly one BI master system within a portal.
    System Alias: Every system in the portal requires a system alias. You can enter any value. SAP recommends that you use the logical system name as the alias.
    Creating System Alias SAP_BW: For the portal role Business Explorer com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase, a BI system is required in the portal with the system alias SAP_BW. Note that there can only be one system with the alias SAP_BW.
    Configuring User Management in the Portal
    Logon Ticket Client: The logon ticket client can be any value between 000 and 999. The client is necessary if several portals with identical portal SIDs are connected. This is not normally the case and the default value can usually be transferred. You have to enter the client when you import the portal certificate into the BI system.
    Exporting the Portal Certificate into the Portal
    Portal SID: The portal SID is required so that naming conventions are observed. It has to be entered when you import to the BI system.
    Import Path and Import File Name: The portal certificate should be saved under the specified path and file name and can then be imported into the BI system.
    Maintaining User Mapping in the Portal
    User-Mapping User and User-Mapping Password: The user-mapping user and password are used to check user assignment. This information is not absolutely necessary but does ensure that all settings have been made for a secure connection from the BI system to the portal.
    Activities
    1. Determine the mandatory information described above.
    2. Execute the activity (= report Maintaining Settings for Integration into SAP Enterprise Portal ).
    3. Enter the mandatory information on the selection screen.
    4. Choose Execute.
    5. Choose Previous Step or Next Step to switch between the individual steps.
    6. To execute the step, choose Execute Step. The system either starts the necessary application so that you can enter information manually, or executes the step automatically.  For each step the report supports the start-up of the appropriate application for executing the step manually.
    Sequence of Steps
    SAP recommends that you perform the necessary steps in the following order:
    7. Create RFC Destination in J2EE Engine
    8. Create RFC Destination for the Portal
    9. Maintain Portal Server Settings for the Portal
    10. Maintain Single Sign-On in the BI System
    11. Export BW Certificate to the BI System
    12. Import BW Certificate to the Portal
