Mail broadcasting

i am working for an isp. i am using sun java messaging server software for the mail service.
i want to have a feature of sending mail to all users
created in the LDAP.
how can i able to send mail to all mailboxes of the isp using a given advertising user id created?

To create a dynamic mailing list:
Well, you didn't tell me what version Messaging Server you're using, so I'll assume JES3 (JES 2005Q1)
I would use the
comadmin group create
command
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0114/da_util_ref.html#wp16536
use the -f ldap-filter command to create a group for each letter of the alphabet. Create a static group that includes all of the dynamic groups.
Each group should also have a
group errors attribute (check schema guide), to make it a true mailing list. You may also want to limit who is allowed to send to the list, so you don't get denial of service attacks by outsiders sending to the list.
When it's all in place, an allowed user simply sends to the mail address you chose for the name of the group.

Broadcasting query-Broadcast type "Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting)" not found.

Dear All,
I had been going through a number of posts in SDN all of which speak about the setting which gives the options of sending query output via email to selected users based upon say a cost centre one is associated with.
But I cannot see this option "Broadcast E-Mail (Bursting)" in the distribution type.
I reached the broadcasting screen by Query Designer-> Publish-> BEx Broadcasting.
Is it that a precalculated server setup is required to get this distribution type ?
From what I know, a precalculated server is required only for broadcasting Workbooks and not required for query.
Or am I missing something in getting to this Broadcasting type.
Thanks
Shalabh

Hi all,
I finally found the reason for non dispaly of that distribution type.
"Make sure that you have administrator authorization for broadcasting. You need authorization object S_RS_ADMWB with field RSADMWBOBJ = BR_SETTING.
The Broadcast E-Mail, Broadcast to Portal, and Broadcast to Printer distribution types are intended for all users.
All other distribution types listed below allow users to perform administrative tasks and are, therefore, only available to users with the appropriate authorization"
I have SAP ALL in my sandbox and all the distribution types are available

How to convert a workbook into PDF and broadcast as Email attachment

Hello Gurus,
i have installed the ADS (Adobe Document services). I would like to broadcast workbooks as a pdf file to some user.
When i open the workbook and go to Broadcast --> Setup a broadcast setting for this workbook. The distribution type is
Broadcast E-mail; Broadcast E-mail (Bursting); Broadcast Portal; Broadcast Multichannel and Output Format only MS Workbook and Link to current Data. Here i miss the possibility as PDF.
Where can i set up that the workbook should be broadcast as PDF.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks and kind rgerads,
Murat

Thanks all for your answers,
i also read that with changing the format in Report designer then broadcasting via PDF. Is there no possibility for PDFs for MS Excel Workbooks? How does it work when opening the query in Report designer? What do i have to do there but it is no solution for us because in the workbooks we use GET BEX DATA formulas and just show parts of the analyisis grid. I need a proper solution how to use broadcaster converting workbooks into PDF an send them as email attachment
Thanks,
Murat

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.

Kapadia

What authorizations for Information Broadcasting are required?

Hello experts, this is a scenario which has recently arisen. We have the BEx Broadcaster properly configured for e-mail broadcasting at least. Users need to be able to use the Broadcaster, in particular the e-mail function for WAD reports. However, we do not know what roles/profiles/transactions must be assigned to them. Whenever users call the broadcaster, the broadcaster wizard popup window opens but displays nothing (sends a "page not found" error). We know it is properly configured since we tested it with a user with profile SAP_ALL and it worked correctly. Since no one has that profile assigned (because of obvious reasons), the Broadcaster cannot be used.
Any suggestions?

Hi, thanks for the links. The users are now able to do information broadcasting. Unfortunately, some users are receiving the following error:
Access Denied
¿What happened?
Call to URL http://myhost:8000/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/Misc/PleaseWait.html was cancelled because logon data is incorrect.
Note:
System login was executed on system BWP No logon data is displayed
¿What can you do?
If you do not have a user ID, contact the system administrator
Error Code: ICF-LE-http-c:500-I:S-T:-C:6-U:-P:-L:7

As far as I have seen, this error is not affecting the information broadcasting operations (users are, for example, sending and receiving e-mails correctly). However, I know that there could be some functionalities not working due to this and I would like to fix the error.
Any suggestions?

Broadcasting in BI 7.x - Do I need Portal, Missing Distribution Types

Hi,
     I'm looking into getting Broadcasting up and running. Errors abound of course. Could someone help with these questions?
1. Do I need Portal to do email broadcasting of HTML/MHTML?
I was under the impression I only needed precalc server for workbooks.
Someone in earlier discussion said I did need server. If you could point me to documentation
that mentions I need it to simply send HTML/MHTL reports it would be greatly appreciated.
2. I only see "Broadcast Email" and "Broadcast to Portal" as available Distribution Types when setting up a Broadcast.
What do I need to see the additional types as listed in the documentation?
○       Broadcast by E-Mail
○       Broadcast to the Portal
○       Printing
○       Broadcast by E-mail (Bursting)
○       Broadcast by Exception
○       Distribution Over Multiple Channels
○       Precalculating Value Sets
○       Filling the OLAP Cache
○       Filling the MDX Cache

I did find the below excerpt.
[Frequently Asked Questions - NetWeaver Portal - BI Integration|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-datamanagement?rid=/library/uuid/a5067965-0901-0010-6f8a-bbf0b7424283#q-6]
In SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 (2004s), which BEx Web functions require SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal?
As soon as you use any of the new BI capabilities for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BEx tools (such as BEx Analyzer & Broadcasting), you require usage types BI Java and Portal. The only exception is if you do not use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BEx tools and ONLY use the old 3.x BEx tools.

Broadcasting problem

We are using the Broadcasting concept of 3.5 & we have problem of
some of the workbooks are being sent as corrupted with blank data by broadcast server as attachments by mail even though the workbooks do not use any mandatory variables .but most of other workbooks work fine

Hi,
Using the BEx Broadcaster you can precalculate and distribute Web templates, queries, query views, reports and workbooks. You can broadcast BI objects either as precalculated documents or online links (this is not possible for workbooks). Your distribution options include broadcasting by e-mail or broadcasting to the portal. Furthermore, you can print these BI objects in the required format.
You can call the BEx Broadcaster from various areas of the Business Explorer.
This section explains the complete features of the BEx Broadcaster. The BEx Broadcaster is tailored to the requirements of information consumers and business experts.
You can find the functions that fall within the activities of system administrators but which can also be executed by business experts and are protected by additional authorizations under Broadcasting Functions.
Note that the features that are available to you depend on your authorizations. The information on authorizations for using the BEx broadcaster, see Authorizations for Query Definition and Information Broadcasting in the Authorizations for the BEx Broadcaster section.
BEx Broadcaster and Broadcasting Wizard
In the BEx Broadcaster, you can create new broadcast settings with both the broadcaster itself and with a wizard. The broadcasting wizard is an assistant that supports in creating a new setting by providing step-by-step instructions. Since the settings options are limited with the wizard in comparison to the broadcaster, you have the option of jumping from the wizard to the broadcaster to make further settings as necessary.
Precalculation and Distribution of Queries, Query Views, Web Templates and Reports
You can define broadcast settings for the precalculation and distribution of queries, query views, Web templates or reports. You can also define broadcast settings for the generation of online links for these objects and their distribution. For more information, see Precalculating and Distributing Queries, Query Views, Web Templates and Reports.
Precalculating and Distributing Workbooks
You can define broadcast settings for the precalculation and distribution of workbooks. For more information, see Precalculating and Distributing Workbooks.
Broadcast as e-mail
Broadcast to portal
Print
Scheduling Broadcast Settings
If you do not want to execute defined broadcast settings immediately, you can schedule them. Distribution occurs at a time set by you.
Information broadcasting is performed for individual BI objects (queries, query views, Web templates, reports or workbooks). The system cannot edit the settings of several BI objects simultaneously. However, you can precalculate several settings at the same time using the defined times for scheduling broadcasts.
You can search for the broadcast settings and their schedules in Broadcasting Administration (transaction code RSRD_ADMIN) using various categories, edit them, and delete settings that are no longer needed.
The following functions are available for the administration of broadcast settings,
Mass Access
Settings
You can select broadcast settings for which the properties are displayed in a list using various criteria (such as the technical name, description, last changed by, changed at, type of object concerned , distribution type, or output format). You can then select the broadcast settings in the list and you can manage these settings as follows,
        You can display the schedules for the broadcast settings and navigate into the log display to analyze errors or delete schedules that are no longer required.
        You can change the broadcast settings that appear with the BEx Broadcaster in the Web browser.
        You can delete the broadcast settings that are no longer required.
Schedules
You can search for and display schedules of broadcast settings using various criteria (such as the technical name of the broadcast setting, the time/date it was created or of the last schedule, and the type of schedule). You can use the type of schedule to find, for example, all the schedules that were generated when data was changed in the InfoProvider, at a given time or date, or as a background job as a result of direct scheduling. The corresponding schedules are displayed in the list. You can select the schedules and work with the following functions,
      You can display the last log of a schedule to, for example, analyze errors.
      Branch to broadcast setting display: You can navigate from the schedules to the list of broadcast settings.
      You can delete the broadcast settings that are no longer required.
You can display logs for particular periods and users that were produced in broadcasting to analyze, for example, errors.
Reorganization
Bookmarks
Here you can reorganize the bookmarks that were created implicitly in Broadcasting. For more information, see Reorganization of Bookmark IDs and View IDs.
In the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1), choose Administration ® Broadcasting, or choose transaction RSRD_ADMIN. Broadcasting Administration appears.

Email of the administrator in STS

Hi all,
Is there anyplace in STS to indicate the email address of the person who sends the email?
I am doing some proofs with STS but the emails don´t send and I am looking if it can be for this.
Thanks

Hi Ainara,
I'm not sure to understand your question, but &sender& will add the sender email address in STS.
I would consider to consult the SMTP logg files to check for correct mail broadcast also,
Have a nice day,
JYL.

Difference between RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER and RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH

Hi All,
Currently we use RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER program to trigger daily mail broadcasting but will happen an error: Parallel processing not possible: no processing of xx package(s). in order to resolve this issue we search a link where it is mentioned to use the other program for RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH and use delay steps. http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Common+Error+Messages+from+the+Broadcast+Log. We have no idea about the difference between RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER and RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH, could any experts explain about this. This is a urgent case for us, thanks in advance!

Your error has been explained below in one of the WIKI.
ERROR: 'Parallel processing not possible: no processing of X package(s)'
To overcome Parallel Processing errors create a Process Chain which executes settings using report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH.
Create the variants for report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH. Start transaction SE38 and execute the report. Select the setting(s) and save them as a variant.
Include a process step in a process chain which executes an ABAP program. In the process step, choose the report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH and the variant (from step 1) in the process chain step.
Simulate a sequential execution by adding an additional wait-step in between process steps calling report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH, e.g. by adding a process chain step which calls a simple Z-report that waits for a given timeframe using the ABAP statement WAIT UP TO XX SECONDS.

Reporting solution required

Hi,
We are reporting on sales cube.
Now there is a requirement that the delivery managers(Those on the same roles) should add a comment and sent the report to the subordinates. Please let me know if there is any such option in BI suite. Further we are using Bex Analyser(Excel) in reporting.
Regards,

You can use E-mail broadcasting, which will help you to send the Bex report in user's mailbox. User can add comment to the report and send it to anyone.

Broadcast by E-Mail (Bursting) in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP 1

Hey Guys,
we have an issue with the attribute value in Email Bursting Mode.
Here are the link and information about Broadcasting:
[https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw//docs/DOC-32119]
Attribute for Recipient Determination
Choose the attribute for which the recipient is maintained. Under Attribute Value Is, specify whether the recipient is to be identified using the e-mail address or the user name.
When the attribute value is identified by the e-mail adress everything is alright.
But when we change the e-mailadress to the userid and set the attribut value to the "User Name", we get the following message:
Recipient Determination: UserID is not a valid user name in the BI system
Bursting: Could not determine recipient
When i choose the Distribution Type to Broadcast (Multi Channel) the system can resolve the email adress, when i put my userid to the recipients. So I Think it is a specific problem with the Email Bursting Mode.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks

Thank you for your answer. But I think it is a malfunction. It should be possible to use the user id, because you can select the given attribute value "User Name".
Furthermore, the type Broadcast (Multi Channel) is also an email broadcast, which resolves the email adress by the user id correctly.

How many e-mails can i send through Bex Broadcaster?

Dear Experts
I would like to know to how many e-mail address i can send a query through "broadcast e-mail" function with BEx Broadcaster. In other words, what's the maximum number allowed of recipients?
I'm using BI version 7.0.
Thank you in advance
Mario

1. How many more phones/ipods/devices can I sync with my iTunes? I know it's 5 computers. What about iphones and ipods?
No stated limit.
2. Does Syncing multiple devices mean that all devices and my iTunes will always
have the same content? i.e., If I download a few songs to an iPhone and then sync with iTunes, will itunes then sync that new content to any other devices that I sync with my copy of iTunes, therefore all devices will always attempt to have the same content?
Depends. If all devices are set for automatic synchronization and they all have sufficient capacity to hold your entire iTunes library, then all devices will have identical content and will continue to do so whenever you add new content. If you're using manual synchronization and/or your entire library won't fit on one or more of the devices, then of course whether or not the devices have identical content will depend on you.
3. How does this affect store purchases? Can I sync multiple devices to the same copy of iTunes and how many times can I sync the purchased iTunes store content to devices? I know it's 5 computers, but what about devices?
Same answer as #1.
4. Lastly, can a device such as an iPhone be synced to more than 1 computer/iTunes? Can I sync my iPhone to my own copy of iTunes and then sync again to someone elses and will this then sync new content to all associated computers and synced devices on those computers? Again, what about purchased content in such a scenario?
Unless things have changed, an iPhone can only be synched to a single copy of iTunes. iPods other than the shuffle can be synched to multiple systems by setting to manual sync.

Broadcast web template by e-mail : user authorization issue

Dear all,
Here is my concern: I have created a variant to broadcast a web template as a PDF file by e-mail using authorization settings of the receivers and e-mail adress associated to his BW user id.
To achieve this I have to create the user in the portal (even if the user will never connect to the portal), additionnaly to the creation of the user in BI. In the portal, I assign a password to the user.
If I plan the broadcast settings, I receive the following error:
Erreur système Java : call FM RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY to ProgId SAPJWP_PORTAL_JWP on host sapjwp with SSO not authorized: Missing Password
N° message RSBOLAP018
The work around is to connect to the portail with the receiver id and to change the initial password. I do the same on the BW side. Then it works
I have to create 300 users so I would like to find a way to ease this process. I am pretty sure this is dealing with SSO mechanism. I will award points for this answer.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
I have the same problem, and i don't understand nor find a solution tu fix that ...
If someone have an idea ... !
Thanks in advance.
