Prerequisites for scheduling reports

hi there,
i would like to know if there are any prerequisites in order to schedule the report creation successfully? for example, do i need to store my reports in the database (xdb), or should it also work when they're stored in the file system on the server ...
thanks

You have to create a table structure, described in user guide,
or in that thread: Adding Email Server

  • Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to use Webservices SDK. The process flow is explained as below:-
    PeopleSoft calls Java component which schedules the BO Reports by calling BO program Objects. I was using BOE SDK before. But SAP advised to move to Webservices SDK as to remove CORBA connection issues.

  • "database logon" option for schedule report

    When scheduling a report,
    Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
    But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
    Is this by design.

    Hi Tina,
    We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
    I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
    Thanks

  • Setting up multiple FTP locations for scheduled reports

    I have tried to set up a new Crystal Report that would FTP the report to port 2033.

    You could define one separate reports-server for each user, and configure the path for it in the reportsserver's conf-file. In the formsweb.cfg, point to a different env-file for each user, in that env-file, place thename of the users reports-server. retrieve it using TOOL_ENV.GETVAR and use it in the call of your report.

  • Defining "prior-week" timeframe dynamically for scheduled reports

    I have a number of reports that I need to execute each week.  But, the scheduling options don't allow me to kick off the report on a Sunday AND constrain the timeframe to the prior week (Sunday-Saturday).   I have a prompt built into the original query, but that's useless if I want to automate the output. 
    I was successful getting the query to work against the upstream database using the following query fragment:
    BETWEEN CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '7 day' AND CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1 day'
    But, there is no option to enter this query into the BI.Ondemand UI. 
    Any insight would be helpful.   This issue is hindering progress with our metrics automation plans.
    Regards,
    -Joe

    I'm using the Web-based version of BI.ondemand.  
    I don't have access to the OnDemand Desktop Publisher because the hosting provider I'm using doesn't support it.  
    The scheduler is very unstable in the web version. I often get "page not loaded" errors in the prompt window within the popup scheduler.  
    I've also just determined that the week-definition in BObj is Monday-Sunday and not Sunday-Saturday.   I'd need to make that adjustment as well.

  • Can we use own customise calender for scheduling the Reports

    Hi,
    We are using different calender for the business and hence our number of weeks in each month differs. For e.g. we have 6 weeks for Jan and Dec where as 4 weeks for rest of the months.
    In this scenario, we want to schedule reports after Period (month for our calender) close.
    Suppose we want to schedule report after 3rd day of period close. So, our Jan period will close somewhere in mid Feb (6 weeks of Jan), i.e. 15 Feb. In this scenario, reports should get generated on 18th Feb.
    For leap year we will have 7 weeks in Jan, rest same.
    How can we achieve this?
    Regards,
    Arjun Kushwaha

    Hi,
    yes you can create your own Calender for scheduling Reports. Just Log- in into the CMC and click on "Calendar". By creating a new Calendar you can mark the Dates where the Report should run.
    Regards

  • Crystal Reports Server - Scheduling Report Exports

    Dear Experts,
    We are using Crystal Reports Server XI Edition and we would like to schedule report exports. Crystal Reports Server configuration console allows us to automate report exports but apparently we could not find a way to pass report parameters and formulas from any export management tab. Naturally, each report needs to take different parameters but to our knowledge CRS management console does not have a screen that prompts us to key in or to read dynamic report parameters and formula. It simply uses the default report parameters. Can you confirm this please?
    To overcome this limitation, we are thinking of developing something like a script that directly interacts with CRS. The script would pass the name of the report, the report parameters and other relevant details like CMS username/ password.Do you think this is possible and if yes can you please point us to the key APIs required for scheduling report exports?
    My sincere thanks for your assistance.
    Kind Regards,
    Joseph.

    You are able to change the parameters for the report within the Central Management Console under the processing tab before scheduling. 
    Here is some sample applications that you can refer to in regards to doing this using the api:

  • Schedule report to run daily

    Hi,
    I want the Inventory Audit Report to run automatically daily (and thereby update the Last Evaluated Price).
    I know the report scheduler can schedule reports for user queries, but I need this out-of-the-box B1 report to run automatically with a predefined schedule.
    Thanks,

    You can not Schedule Standard Report for Scheduling for Email.

  • How to Schedule reports to SFTP  server?

    Hello friends,
    Can some one please give me an examples for scheduling reports to SFTP server using BOBJ SDK?
    Regards,
    Rakhy.

    Hi Rakhy,
    You cannot schedule a report to SFTP and also it is not supported by SAP.
    The same cannot be achieved thtrough CMC/BIlaunchpad and hence it is not possible to achive the same though sdks as there is no option available to schedule a report to SFTP.
    SAP BI 4.x does not provide any Build- In functionality to use the SFTP protocol with the Scheduler.
    Refer to the SAP Note below
    http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1782625
    There is a workaround given at the link below is applicable to XI R2. You can probably implement that with your environment.
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31576
    You can use BOBJ SDKs to Schedule a report to Unmanged Disk and then create a program object which will trigger its schedule as an file base event occurs  and send the report to SFTP.
    Thanks,

  • Monitor Scheduled Reports

    Hi All.
    I am currently monitoring an application which generates reports via SSRS.  There are a number of scheduled reports in SSRS which output to a file share on an hourly basis. 
    I am looking for a way to monitor SSRS in order to ensure that the reports have executed successfully.  I thought this might be possible via SQL Agent Jobs.  However, the job names for Scheduled reports appear to be a GUID - not particularly useful.
    Is anyone aware of a way to achieve this?
    Cheers
    shaun

    Can you not monitor the jobs? Doesn't matter if it's a guid, it's still a data source. You should be able to resolve the guid in the monitor implementation.

  • Error while scheduling report for SAP users

    Hi All,
    We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
    There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
    Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
    Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
    Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
    Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chandra

    Hi All,
    Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
    Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
    Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

  • How to display "No data for yesterday" in a scheduled report on Webi

    Hi All,
    In Webi, I am working on scheduling reports and was asked by a user if the scheduled report on Webi can display "No data for yesterday/no orders for yesterday" when the report returns no data due to No Orders submitted or a business holiday. This sounded a good idea to me as this report only looks for previous days orders/sales and there are many instances when the report will return blank page due to no activity the day before.
    Can anyone please guide me on the possibility of achieving something like this on Webi using Bex query.
    Any help will be appreciated .
    Thanks
    Gaurav

    Hi,
    You can format the blocks in the report as "Hide When Empty" or "Hide When [some formula]" and have a blank cell added behind these blocks with a text "No Data for Yesterday"
    Need to set the relative position and ordering for this accordingly.

  • BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

    Hi,
    I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
    For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
    For each column you would need to variable
    v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
    v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
    =if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
    v_columnA would have a if statement in it
    =if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
    This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
    This might be more managable if it was done in the universe
