Offline Distribution naming of reports

Hi All,
When using distribution in BPC the naming of the distributed reports is done by settings in the Distribution List.
Standard the following report-name is created:
User ID)VARYKEYS)Description.xls - for example vbeumer)C0001)BALANCE.xls
Is there a way to adjust this output?
We need the files to be like this:
Description-VARYKEYS - For Example BALANCE-C0001.xls
Hope you can advice.
Regards,
Vincent

Hi,
as far as I know you get a development licence for the CR runtime (eg. together with Visual Studio or Eclipse) but when you rollout your code then you have to acquire viewing licences for your end-users. I would suggest to contact your local SAP Sales representative for this.
You can get some information on the BOBJ Server here: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/enterprise]

BPC75NW: Offline Distribution of reports does not work in Schedule mode

Hello BPC experts,
I'm new in SAP world.
I have the following problem.
In BPC 7.50.06 NW I'm trying to adjust the distribution on e-mail to schedule.
I set up Distribution List. When I start the Offline Distribution Wizard -> Distribute Now all works without problems.
The problem starts when I start the Offline Distribution Wizard in the Schedule mode. All the settings I do the same as at "Distribute Now".
Then I set the report should be sent daily, starting with 13.10.2011, indicating the Start Time. As a System password I'm pointing my domain password (I know no other passwords).
At the time specified in the Start Time nothing happens, i.e. the schedule does not work.
Tell me, please, if faced with a similar problem, how it can be solved?
Thank you for your help, this is greatly appreciated.

Moved to .NET SDK forum.
Search here, lots of post on IIS and setting Printer Access Permissions for your application.
Also search MSDN on what is required to for IIS to access local Printers.
Also search for ActiveX Controls and Browser permissions, you'll likely have problems there also since most Browsers will not or do not recommend allowing any ActiveX control.

Offline Distribution Wizard

Hi!
We have problem with the "Distribute and Collect Offline Data" function.
All the parameters SMTPAUTH, SMTPPASSWORD, SMTPPORT, SMTPSERVER and
SMTPUSER are all set and works fine (E-mail notification function is
working)
But something doesn´t work when we try to distribute reports via
Offline Distribution Wizard. We have entered an E-mail adress
(xxx.yyy) in the VARYKEYS section in the Distrubutionlist
but when run the Offline Distribution Wizard we can see that it is
trying to send the E-mail to bpc.media.lanxxx.yyy and that doesn´t work.
"bpc.media.lan" is the name of our BPC server so why is that used in
the E-mail adress in the Offline Distribution Wizard?
Regards
Fredrik

Hi,
After several test, the offline distribution features work at last.
:Assuming the email notification in admin console and email notification in BPF are working just fine.**
In VARKEYS under userID try to use the values that can be found in the owner property of your driver dimension
for example under entity dimension:
ID                   OWNER                   REVIEWER
XXXX            abc.com\user1        abc.com\manager1
in your distribution list under VARKEYS
!VARKEYS
ENTITY         USERID
XXXX           abc.com\user1
by doing so, it will use your smpt server and not the webserver.
Hope this helps.

BPC's offline distribution

Hi,
I work on BPC 7.2.
I edit my reports with BPC's offline distribution and I would like to schedule the edition of my reports, but when I choose this option, I have to put when I want the edition to happen and a "system password", but what is this password?
Thanks for your help!

Critical Errors SCCM 2012 (Distribution Point and Reporting services point)

Hello,
We are getting errors under the Site Status for the Distribution Point and Reporting services point. Was running fine and have not really made any changes but all of a sudden we have these critical errors.
The report server service is not running on Reporting Service Point server "XXXXXXXXXXX"; start the service to enable reporting.
We have stopped and restarted the SQL 2012 reporting service point with no errors. What else should we look at for this error? And are these related?
Thanks,

Example Named Column Report Layout?

Howdy,
Using APEX 3.1.2, I've successfully setup and tested Apache FOP for a print server. I'm hoping to create a multi-line report layout to emulate the MS Access (of Evil) one this app is replacing, but I'm having trouble getting started.
It seems that I need to create a Named Column report layout. I've been scouring this forum, the web, and even the new Pro APEX book to find an example of the contents of even the simplest of these XSL-FO files, but I can't find one anywhere. Granted, a little XSL-FO experience would help here, but I can't seem to glean enough from the web to put the pieces together, at least as it applies to APEX. It seems that the examples I do find contain static data, whereas it looks like I should be creating a template form for APEX to populate for passing onto the FOP engine.
Does anyone have a simple two-column layout they'd be willing to share? Or a good weblink?
TIA!
Rich

Report Query using a Named Column Report Layout fails to produce PDF

I am testing FOP and the Shared Component Report Queries query with a Named Column Report Layout. The xsl file was built using Stylus Studio and worked fine with the saved XML data file in Stylus Studio.
500 Internal Server Error
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: An exception occurred.
The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response.
Please consult the application log for details.
I assume this is a message from FOP. What do I do now?
tia,
Sam

Sam,
I would suggest to take APEX out of the picture first and see if you can get this to work directly with your FOP solution, i.e. generate the XML data and take your XSL file and then post it directly to the FOP JSP (or whichever rendering engine you use). If this works, the problem might be somewhere in your APEX configuration. If it doesn't work, then the problem is likely in your XSL or XML structure. Here's how you can setup a static HTML page to post your XML and XSL to FOP:

Offline Distribution WIzard - Custom Formatting of Body of Email Possible?

The body of the email in the Offline Distribution Wizard is just Plain Text. Is there anyway to change some settings to use HTML or some nice formatting in the Body of the email via the Offline Distribution Wizard?

Hi Martin,
you just need this task
Task
Can be assigned to
Description
ManageDistributor
Only primary administrator (default)
This user or team can use the Offline Distributor.
to be in the distribution list and recive mail you don't need other than a valid email.
Try with a minimum distribution list (single user) where you are sure that the email is right and see if it works.
fore more info concerning the distribution list please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/2f/7485da629644c5a831224d4b970881/content.htm

Does offline distribution happens to leave sent items in mailbox?

Hi experts,
After using offline distribution wizards (assuming the email distribution was successful) to where the sent items located? I mean, i can't find the sent email to my sent item folder. Since i can't find it i can't recall the email if i have to. I'm just wondering if the system produces an sent email item or not.
Thanks as always,

I'm assuming you set up the gmail account on the iPod using the special gmail configuration (when you first set up a new account, one of the choices for the type of account is gmail).
I had to reset my gmail account last night, deleting it and redefining it (for reasons other than your issue) and by default, I get "inbox", "drafts" "Sent Mail", and "Trash". You might try deleting your account on iPod and redefining it - it's quick and doesn't affect your email status.

Pagination incorrect in Named Column reports

I create a Named Column report template and a report based on that template.

Offline distribution email setup

Hi,
I'm generating offline templates through the 'Offline distribution wizard' saving the templates to a folder and then emailing them out one by one. [BPC7 (MS)]
I've tried using the 'Lockdown and Send mail' option in the 'Offline distribution wizard' but I get the error: "Error downloading email setup from server".. How do I setup the email on the server?
Thanks!
Mez
Edited by: Meznert on May 28, 2009 10:38 AM

Dear Meznert,
You should have the account email first and make sure that account can sent email to other user account. After that, you should set the SAP BPC through BPC Administration Web and choose the menu "Set Appset Parameters". For more information how to set the SMTP in SAP BPC please you read the help.
Thanks,

Offline Distribution Wizard error Type Mis Match

Hi All,
We are having some trouble with the scheduling functionality within the Offline Distribution Wizard. An Adminisrator is able to use the functionality just fine but other users are receiving a "TYPE MISMATCH" error when they try to schedule anything using this functionality.

Hi Sorin,
The individual who is receiving the error and system admin have the exact same security setup but only users are receiving the error.what are the areas and other options to check?
Please provide relevant options.

Schedule Offline Distribution Wizard

Hi!
If I schedule an Offline Distribution Wizard it seem like I (the one who did scheduling) must be log on to the client machine when Offline Distribution Wizard is scheduled to run, is this the case?

Offline Distribution Scheduler

Hi,
The Shedule Offline Distribution List from ePublish menu, doesnu2019t seems to work. I tried several times to schedule a distribution but nothing happens and I didnu2019t find a place to trace the schedules I have created, like in the Data Manager option.
Does anyone know how this work?
Thanks!

If you run the offline distribution with "distribute now" instead of scheduling, does the process complete successfully?
Keep in mind that the scheduled task is created on the client machine where you're running Excel, and the task also needs to execute at run-time, on that same machine. (It doesn't run on the server itself, unless you're RDP'ing to the server, logging into BPC for Excel from the server, and scheduling the task there.) So that means, don't schedule your task on your laptop that won't be connected to the network at 3 am, when the task is scheduled.
Do you have other Windows Scheduled Tasks working successfully? The BPC tasks sit on top of that same Windows interface. If you look at the scheduled tasks in Windows, you should see the BPC tasks there. (I know this is true for data manager tasks, but I'm not certain if ePublish -- offline distribution works the same way. I think it does.)
I noticed on a recent install of Win Server 2003, there was a service I needed to turn on to allow scheduled tasks. I'd never needed to do that before, but maybe the latest security updates from MS have disabled this on your OS. Make sure you have that running.

Schedule Offline Distribution

Hello BPC experts,
I am trying to schedule an offline distribution list. I could successfully create the list and it works fine when I press "distibute now". But when I choose "schedule" instead it doesn't.
In the schedule tab one has to provide the system password. I guess this is the adminsitrator password but I am not sure. Later on after clicking on "process" one has to provide logon information again. I failed to provide correct information, it always says "invalid credentials". Could someone please clarify what logon information is required here?
The generated windows schedule entry is C:\PROGRA1\SAPBUS1\PC_MS\PublishBatch.exe EYBL_PLANNING_Off.XML
I guess there is some logon information missing. The batch starts but nothing happens. The XML file looks ok to me.
Best regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,
Did you check SAP Notes 1522096? It could be linked to your problem.
Hope this will help.
