Pre-calculated workbooks

Hello
Can anybody tell does "pre-calculated" means static (for example, report has static data for Jan and cant be navigated for any other months) or it means that data is warmed up and I can change parameters of the report?

Hi,

Broadcasting and pre-calculated Excel workbook

Hello,
Is it possible to pre-calculate an Excel workbook using the Broadcast functionality of BW 3.5 and save the calculated workbook on the BW server itself. We don't want to send the workbook via e-mail or publish it on the portal. We just want the users to open the pre-calculated workbook from the BW server itself.
Many thanks.
François.

hi,
Using the BEx Broadcaster, you can precalculate and distribute Web templates, queries and workbooks. You can distribute these reporting objects either in precalculated form or as an online link. Your distribution options include sending by e-mail or exporting into the Enterprise Portal.

Incorrect workbook results using pre-calculation server

Hi,
I encounter problem running BW 3.5 workbook (Excel 2007) using pre-calculation server. The results show incomplete data, mostly of the time missing characteristic values. However, it works for one of the report.
Appreciate sharing of experiences. Thanks.
Regards,
Chen

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have tested with new workbooks inserted with new queries, and those are running OK manually. The workbook does not exceed 65k rows or 255 columns.
I discovered one of the workbook showing correct results except for calculation using function %A, so I suspect there is missing setting in Excel 2007 that has caused the macro not working properly.
Anything to share ?

How to delete the pre calculation queues

Hi All,
There are so many Pre Calculation queues in RSPRECADMIN ->Display Current queue. But there are no corresponding jobs running in SM37. Please suggest me how to clear these queues all at once.
Also in the OS of the corresponding Pre Calulation Server, I could see lot of workbook excel running in Task Manager.
Please also suggest how to end these excels.
Thanks and Regards,
Subashree

On RSPRECADMIN transaction, you will see the button Display Current Queue.
Then, you will see the following:
> Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
> Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
> Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
To clear all queues, press F7.

Send email with pre-calculated Excel

Hello everybody.
I'm trying to send an email with a pre-calculated Excel worksheet, generated by an Agent Reporting job.
But, I don't know how to attach the last generated XLS file, using ABAP.
We have BW vers. 3.1 so I can't use Information Broadcasting (it would be the perfect solution).
I've tried to send the pre-calculated results as HTML (following a very good document found in this forum), but the results didn't satisfied the users. I've already read the document about sending a workbook as attachment, but my problem is I don't know where to get the Excel generated by Agent Reporting.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Gabriele

Information Broadcaster Pre-Calculation Server

We just upgraded to version 3.5. I have a need to broadcast workbooks to several users. I setup a test precaluation server on my PC. I am not sure exactly what the function of these server. Are the workbooks actualy stored on this "server" or the BW Server. Does anyone know what functions the pre caluation server does. Also is there any suggestion of where folks locate this in their production landscape. It seem to only run on a windows environment. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
To calculate an excel workbook, BEx analyzer is launched and reports are run. This is done on the pre-calculation server. The pre-calculation service interacts with the desktop, launches analyser, runs the reports, saves the excel workbook on the server which is then broadcasted.
For a production environment, recommend running this on either a dedicated windows based PC or a shared server. It should be up at all times otherwise the boradcast will fail.

SAP BW Pre-calculation Server Not Working as Expected

Hi All,
It has already been 2 months since we have installed our pre-calculation servers. We have been bumping to issue with our server showing as "At Capacity" after a few runs of workbooks. Then we need to restart the service in order to resume the pre-calculation. Something really dumb is that any workbooks that failed during that time will not get pre-calculated again.
This is really bugging me as every morning when I know, there is some broadcasting, then I need to start monitoring the queue, to see if the symptoms of only a few workbooks (usually 10 workbooks) being able to calculate before I need to restart the service.
Please help as I am really in a dire situation.

Ah, I forgot to cast the correctAnswer as a double. Thanks, it works now! (disregard the username change)I sense you're still misunderstanding, so I decided to follow up.
The issue isn't that you weren't casting your expression to a double before assigning to correctAnswer. That cast is implicit as an integer is automatically promoted to a double, since it is a widening conversion (see here).
What you had before was like this:
double d = 1 / 5;
System.out.println(d); //0.0In this case, we have an integer divided by an integer, and so the result is (naturally!) an integer. Since 1 / 5 is truncated to 0, that's the result of the expression.
"Casting to a double" would be this:
d = (double)(1 / 5);
System.out.println(d); //0.0But that's no different! The cast is pointless, as it happens anyway when you assign the result of the expression to d. 1 / 5 is still occurring with integer operands.
Instead, based on the fact that it worked, I'm guessing what you did was this:
d = (double)1 / 5;
System.out.println(d); //0.2 That's not casting the result of (1 / 5), it's casting 1 to a double, and then dividing by 5. It's equivalent to this:
d = ( (double) 1 ) / 5;Since now one of the operands is a double, the result of the expression is a double, so you get the expected 0.2.
You could get the same result by doing this in your code:
double correctAnswer = 1.0 / x;As the literal 1.0 is obviously not an integer, but a double, so x is promoted to a double and the division occurs on two doubles instead.

Pre-Calculation

Hi,
We are on BI7, SP-17. Can you please let me know the latest version of Pre-Calculation server. We need to broadcast the workbooks and we are still using BW3.5 queries/workbooks, even though we are on BI7. Do we have different Pre-Calculation servers in BI7 for BW3.X front end and BI7 front end objects!
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ram,
The precalculation server remains same either for 3.X or 7.x queries/workbooks.Check whether pre-calculation server is installed in ur server using RSPRECADMIN.If its green it is installed.In BI7.0 using Bex Broaadcaster u can precaluclate queries,web templates and workbooks.

The item Hierarchical Context Menu does not support pre-calculation

Hello,
Trying to download pre-calculated web templates via RepAgent, using the Hierarchical Context Menu feature within the template (populated via control query with Hierarchy) the system returned the following message upon file download:
"The item Hierarchical Context Menu does not support pre-calculation"
As a result the Hierarchical Context Menu is not displayed on the downloaded html-files. Navigation not possible.
Could not find any constraints documented in the online help, at this point.
Question: is there something missing on our setup or is this really out of scope for precalculation with navigation?
Any other experiences on that or shall we open OSS-message?
Best regards,
Markus
(We are on BW3.1)

Hi,
we have the same problem. Does anybody have any hint or workaround? Is there a solution for this in 3.5 or any upcoming version.
Any input is appreciated.

Key figure with pre-calculated aggregation

Hello,
I have to model a key figure with a pre-calculated aggregation, that is, soruce flat files contain explicit values for months, quarters, halfyears and years. The key figure is a percentage (service quality) and the corresponding company department provides me with results for all aggregation levels.
I think that this case can be modeled with one InfoCube for each aggregation level and a Multicube but I have to create a high number of InfoCubes (aprox. 180).
I can get the formula that department uses, but it's possible on BW to change standard aggregation (SUM, MAX, MIN)?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Alberto Garcia.

Hi Alberto,
One of the ways of doing it could be -
add another field (char) to your cube called at "value Type" & assign different values to it depending upon the time value.
say Monthly - value type 1
Querter - value type 2
& so on ...
keep filling the same key figure.
at the time of reporting restrict your key figure accordingly with the value type. ( say need only montly key figure value restrict value type to "1")
hope it helps.

Using pre-calculated web template

I have a query that takes 20 seconds to load on our web portal. I've done everything imaginable to optimize performance. Finally I'm experimenting with pre-calculating the query. I've created the reporting agent setting, set the calculate parameter to 'HTML for Web Browser', added this to a schedule and successfully ran the schedule.
Now when I run the corresponding web template on the web it still seems to take the same 20 seconds. I would think all it has to load now is a static HTML page so it should take 1 or 2 seconds. How do I know if it's really loading the pre-calculated version or the normal one? I'm not sure anything is really happening. Maybe I missed something? Anybody have experience with this?
Thanks,
-Patrick

I think I figured it out. I had to add a parameter to my url that was UPDATE_MODE=STORED

Validate signature with pre-calculated digest

Hello to all!
I'm trying to build a system that signs and validates signatures on large files.
To get a signature i used a pre-calculated digest and was easy, but for validating the same signature i can't discover how to give the pre-calculated digest.
I can't use the normal validate because the java api uses the "JavaUtils.getBytesFromStream" method and try to get all the file to memory.
can someone indicate the solution to this (or explain why don't had a solution, if it is the case)?

Hello!

I assume you have tried returning an OctetStreamData wrapped around an InputStream? Yes. I let here the code of the URIDereferencer i'm using.
public class ConstrulinkURIDereferencer implements URIDereferencer {

          try {

               if (!f.exists() && defaultDereferencer!=null) {
                    return defaultDereferencer.dereference(uriReference, context);
               } else {
                    return new OctetStreamData(new FileInputStream(filesPath+filename));
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               throw new URIReferenceException(e);
}I try to get a file, if that fails i send the request for dereference to the deafult URIDereferencer (the one that was there before).
What i got from seeing the code at Koders the problem was that when we call the method JavaUtils.getBytesFromStream (you can see the stacktrace above) it will read all the bytes of the stream. I didn't see if these bytes are used for something else than the digest.

It sounds like it could be a bug. I will try coming up with a sample and debug it further. If you are able to, please also post your code here or send it to [email protected].
I'll try monday to send you a executable code.
