Precalculation Sever for Info Broadcasting

Hi,
If I just want to try information broadcasting, can I do it without precalculation server. If I have following things set up then can I test information broadcasting:
1.     BEx Web Configuration (Template Installer)
2.     Internet Graphics Service (IGS)
3.     Mail Server Setup
Thank you,
sam

rightly said by Siva,
If you want to precalculate workbooks (in addition to queries and Web templates), you determine, in Customizing, which precalculation servers are available for the BW system. You make this setting in the BW system under SAP Reference IMG -->SAP NetWeaver > SAP Business Information Warehouse> Reporting-relevant Settings> General Reporting Settings in Business Explorer> Administrate Precalculation Server.

  • Precalculation Server for Information Broadcasting

    Hi Folks,
    Do we need Precalculation server to use Information Broadcasting in BW7.0?
    I am especially interested in using the Filling OLAP Cache functionality in Information Broadcasting to fill OLAP cache for one workbook.
    Need your help on this.
    Regards,
    Sn

    Hi Raghavendra \ NS,
    We have only one application server. The issue might be because of the broadcast settings which I am giving to fill the OLAP Cache.
    In my current query there are two variables one is on business unit and the other one is on calendar month. Both the variables  are optional.
    Business Unit variable accepts multiple single values as input and the calendar month is selection-option variable.
    Now My problem is if I fill cache with a variant, without providing any value for Business Unit variable (i.e for all the business Units ) and Calendar month values as 01.2010 to 11.2010, then when I execute the query for Business Unit x and Calendar month 10.2010- this is not picking data from cache instead reading from the database. Ideally this selection is the subset of the cache which I have filled.
    The query is picking data from the cache only if I give the same variable values i.e no values for Business Unit and 01.2010 to 11.2010 for calendarmonth.
    My requirement is to fill the cache for all the Business Units and all the calendar months of current year. This cache should be accessed by the query even if user selects one or multiple or all the  Business Units and a single or range or all the calendar months of current year.
    I might be doing something wrong in settings of BEx broadcaster. Please throw some light on the settings which I have to make in this case.
    Regards,
    SN

  • Info Broadcasting - Unwanted link in report

    We are using the BEX Information Broadcaster to publish web templates as HTML files into Knowledge Management folders on the portal.  The finished report has a generated link to an "Overview Page for Precalculation."  We do not want the users to be able to access this page (which is created during the broadcasting process). 
    We can go into the HTML of the finished report and edit the link out but we want to change the Info Broadcasting settings so that the link is not generated during the publishing process.
    Any help?

  • Setting up SMTP mail in BW for Information Broadcasting

    Dirk Herzog: I am trying to configure SMTP for sending web query results as an e-mail to external internet addresses. I have read through all the HELP.SAP.COM documentation but we are confused by the configuration for SMTP server in transaction SICF and SAPConnect settings in transaction SCOT. What is the SAP Mail Host and Mail Port that we use when configuring the SMTP node in trans SCOT?
    The HOST data tab of SICF's SAPConncect virtual host doesn't give this information. As well, the Service Data tab on SAPConncect virtual host in SICF is confusing. Do we have to fill in the Anonymous Logon Data in order to send mail externally to the Internet?
    I apologize in advance if my questions are not clear. Since you just recently got Info Broadcasting working, you may understand the common hurdles we are having.
    thanks and regards, David

    The mail server also needs to be setup to allow mail relaying from a system other than itself - or at least our Microsoft Exchange server did.

  • Info Broadcaster

    Gurus,
    We are on BI 7.
    I executed the query in BEx analyzer. I got the result as per what I enter on the variable selection screen.
    Now I right-click on the result screen ->Info Broadcaster.
    I have schedule and run this on the background job. No problem. The reason why I do this (using Info Broadcaster and schedule as background job) is I want to cache the result in memory so that query will have better response time.
    My question now is:
    1)     Do you know if we should schedule this as background job or should we do it via Process Chain? (I am not sure how we can do this via Process Chain, can you please show me the steps?)
    2)     How can schedule and cache all the navigation steps (free characteristic) available on the query via Info Broadcaster?
    3)     Do we have other better way to improve the query performance? (I have also Aggregate built).
    Please advise, thank you.

    You can use program: RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH to broadcast reports using process chain.
    Steps:
    1. Create broadcasting settings for the report in Bex Broadcaster. Give a variant name for that settings.
    2.  Using this program create a program variant in which you need to mention the Variant name of broadcasting settings (created in step 1) for that particular report(s).
    3. Add the Program step in process chain with the program variant you have created in step 2.
    4. Schedule the process chain.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Default template for Information broadcasting

    Hi,
    I got the info that template 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE70 is the default template for Broadcasting but when i try to open it in WAD then it outputs 'No object Found'.
    Even if i try to find it in BI Content, i do not found the one with the specified name.
    any idea which default template is used in for Infoarmation Broadcasting.
    Its very urgent.

    Hi Satish,
    Unfortunately It is not possible in standard. I also checked ECM_EXIT but I was not able to find any specifc interface for long text. You can try this is General abap forum as Long texts generally belong to Basis more then an appication area itself.
    Thanks

    Hi folks,
    Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
    1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
    2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
    attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
    a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
    b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
           i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)

    c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
    What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems  need to be Resolved)

    Problems to Resolve:
    Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
    Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
    Problem#1 Description:
    I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within  New York, NY 10012.
    Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
    Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
    The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
    When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
    I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
    Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
    Problem#2 Description:
    Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
    I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
    Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly  at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
    Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
    Here is the  code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)

  • PAL HD to SD anamorphic for UK broadcast

    I have to deliver my first TV spot for UK broadcast (been delivering in U.S. for decades).
    All (7) spec sheets say they will only accept PAL standard def "Full height anamorphic" (16:9FHA)
    I drop my 1920x1080 @ 25fps file into a PAL DV Widescreen sequence and I see narrow black bars on the sides.
    So, I do the math, Height: 576 / 1080 = 53.33%,   Width: 720 x 1.4587(PAR) / 1920 = 54.7%
    Looks like that works well.
    Seriously...    I have to do the MATH to create a common (in UK) format file?
    Then to top it off, they want upper field dominance, and Premiere has NO preset for PAL (SD) upper field!
    How do you guys on the other side of the pond do it? Any recommendations?
    Oh, and while we're on the subject, the spec sheets don't appear to say anything about actual audio levels, they only spec:
    Audio Levels: EBU-R128  and  Audio Loudness: ITU-R BS.1770
    Google search suggests these are methods of measurement, but don't indicate a desired level (actual number).
    So I found one related document (in my internet search) that said most desired level might be -23 LUFS
    Anyone have any UK insight there?
    Thank much.

    Ann,
    So, in this discussion (link below) you and Ernesto instruct to increase the H&V scale, presumably to 54.7%, to crop the top and bottom and eliminate the black bars. I can see the advantage of this to prevent the (albeit small) distortion incurred with my and Richards settings. And then, I may need to raise the image one pixel (line) to obtain proper field dominance. Interesting hoops we have to jump through...  Is there a tutorial on this anywhere?
    Thanks for the extra info.
    CS5's PAL 16:9 aspect ratio is WRONG at DVinfo.net

  • Info Broadcaster Schedule by first N workdays?

    1)  How can I set up an Info Broadcaster schedule to run and email a report only on the first N workdays of the month?
    2)  Also need to do a report one only on the last workday of the month.
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    HI,
    For that you need to define time for broadcasting settings, as mentioned below:
    You define the various times for scheduling Broadcast settings by defining background jobs in the following way:
           1.      Select Define Job from the SAP menu, or use transaction SM36. This brings you to the Define Job  screen.
           2.      Use the following naming convention when entering the job name: TP_BROADCASTING_
           3.      Choose Start Condition. This brings you to the Start Date Value dialog box.
           4.      Choose Date/Time. The corresponding fields appear.
           5.      Enter the desired values and highlight Execute Job Periodically.
           6.      Choose Period Values. This brings you to the Period Values dialog box.
           7.      Choose the desired value and save your entries. This brings you back to the Start Date Value dialog box.
    The following values are supported for Information Broadcasting:
    §         Daily
    §         Weekly
    §         Monthly
    §         Other periods (only based on Day/Week/Month)
           8.      Choose Save. This brings you back to the Define Job screen.
           9.      Choose Step. This brings you to the Create Step 1 dialog box.
       10.      Choose ABAP program and enter the ABAP program RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINTi into the Name field. Save your entries.
       11.      Choose Save in the Define Job screen.

  • Header on Program for live broadcast

    Hi all....
    Tried to find the answer, but no luck...
    I have been giving a movie to reapply sound to it on FCP.
    This is to send to MTV, and it seems that all videos for live broadcast needs a header (maybe a footer?).
    I believe that what they mean is that they need the RGB color header (if so how long? with sound tone?)
    Do they need also need a counter from 30 seconds down to sero?
    The guy who owns the video doesn't really know himself (which doesn't help).
    I am sure that one of you guys will know exactly what is needed...
    Can you help?
    Thanks in advance.
    Steph

    Yeh I thought of that...
    went on there website.... and couldn't find any info on contacts....

  • US Dates via Info Broadcaster

    Hi,
    We have a used setup with SU01 date values of mm.dd.yy
    When they run a query it returns US format dates as you would expect.
    When we run a workbook (same query as above) through the Info Broadcaster it lands with European dates dd.mm.yy
    This can't be standard - are there US users out there who receive Info Broadcaster workbooks with US cal days in them?
    Thanks
    Gill

    Hello Gillian,  
    The time setting you maintained in SU01 will have impact only for those users. If you want to maintain the same time standards, then Goto TCode -> SPRO ->SAP NetWeaver->General Settings->Time Zones->Maintain System Settings & Maintain Time Zones
    Thanks

    select single * from pa0586.
    do 30 times.
       w_nx = sy-index.
       concatenate 'PA0586-ITC' w_nx into w_campo1.
       concatenate 'PA0586-PIN' w_nx into w_campo2.
       concatenate 'PA0586-AIN' w_nx into w_campo3.
       assign (w_campo1) to <ff1>.

  • HT1339 I was looking for info on restoring an iPod Touch 4th Gen. But iTunes presents the same Restore button, which when pressed, offers to update, not restore, to iOS 6.0.1. Why?

    I found this article when searching for info on restoring (to factory conditions) an iPod Touch 4th Generation. Now I thought this shipped with iOS 5.x (x unknown). But as mentioned too briefly in the header, when I click 'Restore' in iTunes, it offers not to restore, but to update. That is not what I want. I need to use this iPod Touch with Xcode 4.2 under Snow Leopard.
    So the question is: what is really going on here and why? Is it really true that 4th G iPod Touches ship with 6.0.1 instead of 5.x? If not, how can I get it to really go back to the original? Why is iTunes failing to offer a restore when I press 'Restore'? If I guessed wrong about which of my several machines running iTunes (some under Windows7, one under Snow Leopard)I used when I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1, would that explain iTune's failure to offer a true Restore?

    Restore will not replace an old iOS level. It will update the iOS level to the latest level. If you have to restore youre iPod that is what will happen. The iOS is not a part of a backup.
