Precalculation of WebTemplates

Hi all,
   We have a BI 7.0 Web Template with two variables. I want to use Precalculation for it with all the Variable Values and then Publish it into Portal. I have few gaps and doubts about the procedure to carry it out.
1. Is it necessary to install PreCalculation Server even for Precalculation of Webtemplates.  I am not using any Workbooks for Precalculation.
2. If it is required to Install Precalculation Sever for Webtemplates, how to balance the load between different servers as this Web Template has 7 Queries in it.
3.  If it is not required to Install Precalculation Server for my requirement, How can I balance or spread the load so that individual Precalculated templates can be generated based on Variable values. (Approx: 200 Variable combinations)
4. Any pre-requisites to use Information Broadcasting in this scenario?
Someone please throw some light on my doubts and help me out about the way to carry this precalculation for Web Templates. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
V.P.R

hi..
You will need to install/configure the precalculation server which handles the pre-calculation of the excel workbooks. It needs to be installed on a windows server that has excel installed. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/420d40854ee569e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

  • Issue with the ROLES in Precalculation of WebTemplate in Reporting Agent.

    HI BWers,
    I am having trouble in understanding the functionality of ROLES and USERS in the Reporting Agent.
    My goal is to pre-calculate WebTemplate,so the users can get the data results based on their ROLES.
    -> When I select ROLES under Authorizations in Reporting Agent; my understanding was it will just pre-calculate the WebTemplate based on Roles. But, when I look at the job details its doing for the Users. I opted for   ROLES because I have 10-Roles and 100-Users, so the job runs for only Roles.
    -> I don't want to select the Users, as it will take longer time and uses lot of system resources.
    Can I just run for ROLES, for that under Authorizations in Reporting Agent do I need to select Precalculate User-Specifically and Select ROLES or just selecting ROLES will do. I tried both, just selecting ROLES is not working and selecting Precalculate User-Specifically & ROLES is not yielding the required results.
    Could you please throw some light on it, I am on BW 3.5 & SP15.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    swordfish.

    Hi,
    If you choose the Precalculate by User option, all the data and HTML pages for the Reporting Agent setting are precalculated for each of the selected users in a single job. This applies in both the cases: Roles or users. When you specify a role after selecting the option 'Precalculate by User', the precalculation will be done for all the users assigned to that role and not the role.
    Roles/Users is just 2 different ways of giving the user restriction. If you specify the roles, the system will precalculate for all the users assigned to the role. If you have few users for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the user IDs. If you have many users assigned to a particular role for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the role.

  • BW chains in Error status - processes within the chain not aligned with BW

    Hi,
    Have anyone encountered scenario where processes within BW process chain are not listed in the correct sequence when chain gone to Error status?
    If we need to skip to the next process, ignoring the current error process (w/o referring to the chain in BW), I would have picked the incorrect process to reply to Operator.
    Any thoughts?

  • Broadcaster Distribution Types

    Hi All,
    I want to precalculate the 7.0 web template so that it won't hit the queries improving performance. I am looking for functionality similar to 3.5 reporting agent settings for web templates (precalculating only data and accessing via DATA_MODE=STORED). I'm on BI 7.0 SP10 with FPN.
    When I create a setting in broadcaster for a web template I see only following distribution types:
    Broadcast email
    Broadcast to portal
    Broadcast to printer
    Broadcast email Bursting
    Broadcast multi channel
    When I create a setting for QUERY i see following additional distribution types
    Broadcast according to exception
    Precalculate value set
    Fill OLAP cache
    Fill MDX cache
    But i don't see the distribution type "FILL PRECALCULATION STORE" which is mentioned on help.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/54/6e6f422f91c153e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    Also, if i refer to documentation for creating broadcast setting it doesn't mention about this distribution type:

    Points will b awarded for every answer..

    Please see the message from BI development team I got after creating an OSS for this same issue.
    "A "broadcasting into the precalcualtion store" is not possible.
    By mistake it was in the documentation and some rollout material for
    a while but this has been corrected.
    There are alternative scenarios: e.g. precalculation of webtemplates
    followed by sending them to users per e-Mail or put them on a file
    share via "Export to KM".

  • SAP BW : Problem with precalculation job on WebTemplate depending on user

    Hi experts,
    We have a problem with the precalculation job on WebTemplate. When we schedule this job with a specific user, the job run normally and precalculation is done on step 3 :
    Step 003 started (program RSRA_JOB, variant , user ID E0126831)
    Start package ZBWP_SCHEDULE_TEMPLATE                          
    - Start setting ZBWP_WAD_001 with variant  -                  
    Precalculation: initialization started                        
    Precalculation: processing started                            
    Precalculate data (fill DataStore)                            
    Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_1, query ZBWP_IS01_001  
    Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_10, query ZBWPM_016     
    Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_11, query ZBWPM_016     
    But when we change the user to a technical user (like BATCH or ALEREMOTE which have the profile SAP ALL ), the job don't do any precalculation in step 3 :
    Step 003 started (program RSRA_JOB, variant , user ID ALEREMOTE) 
    Start package ZBWP_SCHEDULE_TEMPLATE                             
    - Start setting ZBWP_WAD_001 with variant  -

    Did you have an idea for this problem ?

    precalculated webtemplate can be said 'produce' query result first in the background, the 'calcuated' result stored in HTML format (statis), so will speed up report access without execute olap query/accessing database.
    the 'disadvantage' is no olap navigation.
    use via 'reporting agent'.

  • Precalculated web template - how to use it

    Hello everybody,
    i need your advice on how to correctly use the feature of precalculated webtemplate.
    I have following situation:
    we have created a pretty compliacted web template, which must be optimized on performance.
    The rule should be: current month data should be available as precalculated webtemplate. people will access the web template with borwser (it will be not send via emial)
    Below my questions:
    1) How to call the precalclauted web template (if variable is part of report)
    I was playing around with this prcealculation fueature and got to the result that the only way to call a precalculated web template if we use variables, is to include the variable and variable value into the URL string
    Is this true?
    Any other ideas how to call a precalculated web template
    2) How to define flexibly the precalculation variant
    Right now I have define up to 22 variants for each month (for eachworking day of the month).
    For new month i have to define new variants.
    My idea is to have it flexible: define one variant for each day of the month. As the month changes, the variants should consist of new dates (for the new month). This should happen automatically. Maybe with ABAP program.
    Any idea how to do it?
    Maybe anyone has batter idea how to mange the precalculation for given dates
    TIA

  • Web template - No precalculated data found

    I'm trying to precalculate the data in a web template using reporting agent.  It is a template with only one data provider that does not require a control query... the input variable screen values can be stored in a variant so it is pretty straightforward.  In the setting I asked it to precalculate the data.
    The precalculation job runs successfully, but when changing my URL to DATA_MODE=STORED I continue to get the message "No precalculated data found".
    Are there any tips you would suggest of things to check?  How can one tell if it is working or troubleshoot this?
    I checked OSS notes and found some interesting notes but they were for older support pack levels than us.  We are on BW 3.5 SP 10.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • PreCalculated  Web Templates

    Hallo,
    I recently had to setup some precalculated web templates to improve query response time for users. But I have some doubts which could not be addressed even after I referred to course materials which I used when attending BW course a year back.
    I'm not sure if you guys can answer these:
    1.How are web templates created by Reporting Agent assigned to users? Where is it stored? Is data displayed in HTML or in Excel but only if exported?
    2.Is it a must that all precalc webtemplates be run in backgnd?
    3.Does a Query Value in parameter Data_mode mean the various modes like 'STORED', 'HYBRID' etc? Are these also termed as Reserve variables?
    4.What is meant by the 'javascript functions' used in precalc web templates?
    5.What is a ‘New’ Data Mode Parameter? Can it be specified in the URL like 'STORED'?
    6.When Stored mode, where is the precalc data stored? Where is a Rep Agent storage? What format?
    7.Are all data_mode except new mode accessing precalc data in html option?
    8.What does a precalc batch run mean? A Scheduled run of Reporting Agent?
    9.How is control query defined?
    10. Is 'stored' mode precalc data stored in HTML option? Does this mean HTML format? Or every precalc is stored in html option? Can I say html option = html format?
    sincerely,
    Adette

    Let me try to answer some (answers next to questions).

    > 1.How are web templates created by Reporting Agent
    > assigned to users? Where is it stored? Is data
    > displayed in HTML or in Excel but only if exported?
    --: These are calculated by background jobs that you schedule as packages. These are stored in Reporting Agent Storage. You can think of it something akin to SPOOL. It is not a DB table or structured data store that you can access independently. Data is available in HTML.
    >            
    > 2.Is it a must that all precalc webtemplates be run
    > in backgnd?
    --: If you use data_mode = NEW, it will run online (ie read data in realtime). The purpose of precalc is to run it in background, that is why it is 'PreCalc'.
    > 3.Does a Query Value in parameter Data_mode mean the
    > various modes like 'STORED', 'HYBRID' etc? Are these
    > also termed as Reserve variables?
    --: Yes to the first part. Don't know if it is termed as reserve variable.

    >
    > 5.What is a ‘New’ Data Mode Parameter? Can it be
    > specified in the URL like 'STORED'?
    --: READ can be specified in the URL. Its effect is to disregard any precalculated data and read the data afresh from DB. In this case, OLAP doesn't check the reporting agent storage area, it goes directly to DB to fetch the data from there.
    >             
    > 6.When Stored mode, where is the precalc data stored?
    > Where is a Rep Agent storage? What format?
    --> Reporting agent storage can be thought of something similar to SPOOL. It is 'unstructured data' as you would think. STORED mode (and other modes) is when you are executing the query. When you have run the package, the template o/p has been stored in the reporting agent storage area. The mode parameter in the URL only directs OLAP to read from (if it is specified STORED, it will read from RSA, if NEW it will read from DB and so on).
    >
    > 7.Are all data_mode except new mode accessing precalc
    > data in html option?
    --: Not exactly as I understand. See the details of DATA_MODE for other options.
    >
    > 8.What does a precalc batch run mean? A Scheduled run
    > of Reporting Agent?
    --: Yes. The precalc definition is just that. You need to then define a package and include your definition of precalc in it and then run this package.
    >             
    > 9.How is control query defined?
    --: Control query is another query whose output is to be used as input (if you have filters on same CHAR.. in main web template) . This query is defined independently as any other query, you include it as a predefined query in your template def.
    > 10. Is 'stored' mode precalc data stored in HTML
    > option? Does this mean HTML format? Or every precalc
    > is stored in html option? Can I say html option =
    > html format?
    --: You can say the precalc o/p is stored as HTML (not strictly true, you have two checkboxes to precalc data and HTML, normally you check both in which case your statement is true).

  • BEx Precalculation..

    Hi everybody,  I almost succeeded in implementing the BEx Precalculation for my workbooks, but : 
    1. It does not work when I try to schedule a workbook precalculation from the HTML Broadcaster. I obtain the following message : 'Error occurred during processing of framework class CL_RSRD_PRODUCER_EXCEL, type PROD'. And I did not found any solutions for this problem. This error occurs only for the calculation of the workbooks (queries or webtemplates work) 
    2. The Workbook precalculation works but only using the RSPRECADMIN transaction. But can I get my workbook from an e-mail without Javascript commands ?
    Idealy, I would like only the XLS file into the e-mail ?   
    Thank you for reply ! 
    Best regards,  Vincent

    Hello Deepu,   
    As the Broadcaster from the HTML interface does not still work ( the SAP note 855220 was applied... ), I do my test using RSPRECADMIN transaction. And when I receive a mail from RSPRECADMIN, there are Javascript commands inside. And I had to disable all Java command from Lotus Notes mail browser  if I would like to open it without errors.  From RSPRECADMIN, you can applied a webtemplate to your mail (if you do not, a webtemplate by default is loaded...), and even a blank webtemplate produced by the Web Apllication Designer contains Javascript command that bug my Lotus Notes...

  • Precalculated Web Template Usage Statistics

    Does anyone know if there are usage statistics stored for a web template that has been precalculated (HTML) through reporting agent? It is accessed through a URL with the DATA_MODE=STATIC querystring parameter added. The statistics are stored in RSDDSTAT when the reporting agent job runs, but not when a user requests the precalculated web template through the URL directly in a web browser. Are the usage statistics stored in another location, other than the RSDDSTAT table in this situation?

    Hello,
    We had the same problem and sorted out it but don´t using BW standard functionality. I added a image tag on all web template that reference to a .Net application. This application get Windows user from Internet Explorer and store statistics (user, time, webtemplate, filter options, etc) on a SQL Server Database. I don't finish the application frontend but we are getting good information directly of the database.
    Let me know if I could give you more details.
