The web report is ready, now how can i use the bex broadcasting to do this funtion, please step by step, i'll really appreciate it! thanks !

Hi Jorge,
I am not a guru still would like to answer your query...
You selected Broadcast by E-Mail as the distribution type when you created the broadcast setting then need to send to your systems administrator, he is the one who is responsibile to make this if and then functions coordinate with him-> Various settings need to be made in system administration in order to use information broadcasting. Furthermore, there are a number of broadcast functions that can be made by business experts and in system administration.
If you want to guide him then.. when you make the precalculations for setting the broadcast there in Variable Assignment you can mention this as a formula
Variable Assignment: You can create values for the BI objectu2019s input-ready variables (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated using these variable values. These variable values are set whenever an online link is opened.
Take from Variant: You can select from a variant for the BI object (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated with the values of the variant. These variable values are set in accordance with the variant whenever an online link is opened
To be honest I think Basis should help you trace where exactly to mention such request...

Missing Adobe PDF option in the Printer Icon

I have just upgraded to Mac's LION 10.7.2 and I have LOST the Adobe PDF option in my 'print menu'
How do I get it back into the Printer llist ?
If it matters, my version of Adobe Reeader is 10.1.1
Thanks
Shelgor

Phillip,
Thanks for getting back to me, but I am a novice ( softer word the 'dummy') and I cannot follow your directions; I don't "SEE' the items you mention so let me try to paint a clearer picture
When I have a document that I want t print.....I go to the file menu and select "PRINT' from the drop down menu, That opens window that has an oval window that allow me to drop down to see what printers are available....I have TWO......a Brothers MFC-5490cn and a Lexmark
NOW..tose ar my only two options......prior to up grading )from Snow Leopard) to Lion.....there was a third option....which 'Adobe PDF Printer', and THAT is the one I've lost.
My goal is to get it back into the Printer Window as a third option.
Thanks

Exception when using BEx Broadcaster on output PDF/Excel

Hi all,
I've a BI system (ABAP & Java) on different servers - SP12.
When I try to send a query with Output Format other than "Outer link to CurrentData" (ie. PDF/Excel) through the BEx Broadcaster I get
"Java system error: call FM_RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY to ProgId <RFC Destination name> on host <portal server name> with SSO not authorized: Authentication faild."
If I try to run 'FM_RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY' directly through SE37 I don't get an error.
I have the latest "Diagnostics & Support Tool" and everything is Green when I do the check.
SSO if configured from Portal to BW (if I go the the BI Master system and do 'Test connector' I get 'success').
Moreover, if SSO wasn't configured then I would get an error when trying to access the BI roles (My ModelData JCO destinations uses ticket)
The user I'm testing has '0BI_ALL'.

How can I solve this problem?

Omri

Solved it on my own.
The sso from Java->ABAP was OK
I reconfigured the sso from ABAP->JAVA by creating new ABAP certificate and import it to the J2EE.

Authorisation issue regarding BEX Broadcaster

Hi all
Does anyone know why I maybe getting an authorisation issue attempting to broadcast a pdf report via the Bex broadcast tool?
The recipient user has all the relevant authorisations and roles attached, and when this report is previewed in Bex Report Designer, the report runs fine showing all the data for the report, However when the report is scheduled via the Bex broadcaster, the broadcast fails. RSRD_LOG shows the following message
Java communication error: RFC destination NOT_CONFIGURED does not exist.
Message no. RSBOLAP017
And in T-code sm21, I get the following error
X MESSAGE BRAIN 299: SAPLRSEC_CHECKS
RSEC_GET_AUTH_HIER_FOR_USER:NOHIE
This indicates that there is an authorisation error with my user, however as mentioned earlier all the authorisation objects and roles seem correct as the report runs fine as I can preview in bex report designer with no authorisation problems at all.
I have also executed the report in T-code RSECADMIN this also shows no errors in the error log and the report runs fine here too.
Please can anyone advise?
Thanks
Forhad

Hi Forhad,
I'm not sure if the error is related to the communication between the Java and the BW or if it's a problem with the authorization.
Are you using a customer exit or an authorization variable in your query/bookmark?
Check if by chance your query have an hirarchy assigned to a characteristic, then, check the user's authorization and check whether you have enough authorization for the hierarchy.
I'm unsure, but maybe note 916090 can help you.
I hope it helps.

Daniel

BEx Analyzer: BEx Broadcaster Option Greyed out

Hi Folks,
We are currently running SAP NW7.0 Enhancement Pack 1.
In BEx Analyzer, I have a query view saved from a query. I want to perform information broadcasting using this query view via BEx Analyzer, but the "BEx Broadcaster" option is unavailable, i.e., greyed out.
How do I resolve this?
I have found a workaround which is to open the main query from Query Designer, and then clicking Publish to get the web interface of information broadcasting to open up, and then selecting Query View and clicking Open to open my query view.
But I would still like to know how to open the BEx Broadcaster directly from BEx Analyzer.
Please advise, and thanks in advance!

Hello,
Dennis suggestion should works.
You have to be in mind, if you are using BEx Analyzer 7.0 you MUST have be installed the BI Java, otherwise the Broadcastwill not works.
If you have it, execute the note 937697 and fix ALL red marks. Probably this is a communication issue between ABAP and Java side.
Thanks.

PDF documents not opening in Mozilla at all, PDF option is not there under the options tab applications

Hi,
Firefox has automatically been "asking me" if I want to save the pdf document instead of showing them in the browser. I have update 22. I have tried to look for the pdf options under the options>applications settings and it doesn't even show up! Is this because I updated? I updated on July 4th and didn't need a pdf until now and this problem showed up. Before, I did not have this problem. PDFs were opening on the browser and I had that pdf option under the application's list.
So I don't know what to do since I don't even have that option on here. What should I do?

Hi thank you for taking the time to reply.
''"You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader"''
Yes, I have Adobe Reader installed and that's my preffered option. I have recently and manually uninstalled Adobe reader,Reinstalled it again, restarted my computer, and I am still having the same problem. I cannot see the option to preview the pdfs in firefox using adobe. It either uses the the Firefox pdf reader Zeon? or the other option is to Always ask me to download it to my desktop.
I have attached what I see, maybe you can help me based on that. It seems the plugins work well (Figure 2) but only the pdf plugin for adobe to be previewed in firefox is missing (Figure1).
Also, I attempted to re-initialize the plugin database but it still gives me the same option as always.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer." ''
No, if I set it to "true" then the pdf option under applications disappears. So I have kept it as false. (Figure 3 shows that it goes missing, not the same as in Figure 1)

Can't send mail via BEx Broadcasting

Hi all,
I am willing to broadcast some reports I've created via the BEx Broadcaster.
When opening a query in the Query Designer and selecting Publish - Broadcasting I am able to configure a new broadcasting diffusion option. But when I try to execute it, I get this message:
Erreur from type DNS_SREQ while sending document ORDERS_RANK4.mht
I tried sending different formats but still doesn't work.
Is there something to activate under SAP to allow broadcasting ?
Thanks alot for any clues that will be point rewarded.

BEx Broadcaster is disabled in BEx Analyzer

Dear all,
The BEx Broadcaster function in the BEx Analyzer is disabled. It works fine in the Query Designer. Is there any one know how to enable it or is there any configuration that I should do?

Look into the SAP Help.
"The Broadcaster option is only visible when a workbook is open. If you only open a query in the BEx Analyzer, this broadcasting option is not available."

BEx Broadcaster - Page cannot be displayed

Hi Experts,
I am quite new to Broadcasting. I am facing with this problem. From the Query Designer, I try to publish the query, a window open and tries to open a page, but after some time it loses the fight and shows the age old page with this message Page cannot be displayed. Any clue why this is happening. Is there any service(BEx Service or something like that) that goes down which needs to restarted?
Assured expression of gratitude through points.
Regards,
Manesh
