Protect Excel in BEX Broadcasting

Hello,
We are exploring the option of using BEx Broadingcasting functionality for my customer.
I know there are different ways of broadcasting of reports like by Excel, PDF or online link etc.
My customer is interested in using Excel.
Is it possible to protect the Excel report from making changes, while broadcasting the excel reports to user's inbox ?

Not sure why you would want to make it protected.But the excel report received by the user is just a copy it won't change any data in the database nor the formatting (unless saved connecting to Bex).

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.

Problem in delevering an email to the recipent inbox using BEx Broadcaster.

Hi Gurus,
I was trying to send an e-mail with output format(HTML,PDF,EXCEL etc) using BEx Braodcaster wizard - Whenever I press execute in BI 7.0 BEx Broadcaster wizard after giving e-mail adress, contents, and subject the session is closing and it displays the message.. 'Started to send document Zxxx.hmt' .
But finally the recipent is not getting an e-mail in to his inbox. It shows the status as sent but no mail is delevered with the attachment. Receipent e-mial address is correct and sender settings in SU01 are (ex. E-mail adrress, username, and Communication method - E-mail ).
I dont understand why e-mails are not delivering to the recipent inbox. Could you please guide me in this regard with your inputs ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Sasi

Hi,
call transaction SCOT and see if you have error or in transit messages under the internet node;
You can start the send process manually from here and if it works (ask your basis if it doesn't)...
Please note that you need to schedule a job to be executed on regular basis to send the emails... (menu view / jobs)
hope this helps...

BEx Broadcasting : Error loading template 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE

Hello Everybody,
When i go to Business Explorer - Web Application Designer - Publish and click on In BEx Broadcaster ,an error message is displayed when this is loaded saying :
Error loading template 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE
When I tried installing 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE an error message was displayed as :
Object Web Template Name 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE is not available in version D
This means that 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE is not available in delivered version .
Is this any other way to install this template or can this template be separately installed,if yes plz tell me how to do it.If this template cannot be installed separately then,is there no other way to activate BEx broadcasting functionality in BW .Kindly revert back at earliest as I am suffering with this issue since many days.my Email Id is [email protected] .
Thanks,
Saumya

Hi,
Sorry for bothering you - see SAP Note 861803 if of any help.
Symptom
In a BW 3.5 system, you want to define the Standard Web Templates and you call Transaction RSCUSTV11 to do this, however the system displays only the fields "Style sheet" and "Template properties".
Other terms
RSCUSTV11, RSCUSTV21, 0QUERY_TEMPLATE, 0ADHOC, 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE, 0ANALZYER, 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING, 0DOC_TEMPLATE2, standard Web template
Solution
In a BW 3.5 system, use Transaction RSCUSTV21 to maintain the Standard Web Templates.

Bex broadcaster in bex analyzer

Dear all,
I have created a report in bex analyzer. I want to add this report to portal, therefore i need to select bex broadcasting from excel bex analyzer menu.
My questions are as follows:
1) As i read in document, i can put analyzer reports in portal. Is it correct?
2) In excel bex analyzer menu, my bex broadcaster menu item is in display mode. Why can it be like this?
Thanks

You can directly add the BEx query to the portal. While creating iview there is an option for BEx query also. Just select your query there and you can access this query through portal. For that Broadcaster option present in BEx analyzer I m still searching how to use it.

BEx Broadcaster configuration - maximum number of cells in result set

Hi all,
I've got an error message when runnig a BEx Broadcaster setting to send query output as xls file.
Query was running, but empty xls sheet was sent.
Message was: result set to large (1.5 Mio cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum 1 Mio cells).
How can this configuration be changed to enable 1.5 Mio cells ?
Many thanks
Andreas

This is excel restriction for maximum of 1million cells. If you split the query with smaller results set lesser than 1 million cells, this error will not come.

Variant for Control Query on Bex Broadcaster Filter

I am trying to create a Bex Broadcaster setting on a query via query designer (query -->Publish --> Bex Broadcaster). In the Filter Navigation Tab, I want include a filter using a control query with variants. My control query has a variable that is set to (single value, mandatory,manual input) and i created a variant for the control query on the web. I am able to create the Bex Broadcaster setting and enter my control query but when I go enter the variant it always gives me "No selections available".
Another issue that i am having is - when I try to create a filter on a characterisitc in the Bex Broadcaster and give mulitple values in the filter, it ends up generating seperate excel files (distribution type is e-mail) for each value in the filter. Is there any way i can consolidate all these results and get it to generate on single file?

1st : no wanswer by now.
2nd : don't filter in the Broadcastsetting, filter in the Broadcastquery to avoid a broadcast for every filter value.

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster OR How to Broadcast reports (Excel output format) and dynamically generate each Excel file name
Hello,
I'm new into posting to this forum, but I always come here when I need some answers and I find them almost everytime.
But now I couldn't find a solution for my problem so I decided that maybe you can help me.
I'm using BEx Broadcaster (I'm working on a SAP BW 7.0, SP17) to broadcast to SAP Portal some Excel files generated from a query.
I use Filter Navigation, because the query provides me with information regarding Sales Orders from all my customers and I need to broadcast an Excel file per customer. This is working perfectly, meaning, with this query I put the Broadcaster generating an Excel file per Customer.
The problem is that I needed that each Excel file had a different name on it.
For example, for Customer1 the Excel file name should be something like Customer1_SalesOrder.xls, for Customer2 it should be Customer2_SalesOrder.xls and so on.
At the present, the Broadcaster generates each Excel file using the technical name of the Query that originated the file. You can use some stardard text variables that broadcaster has available, but these standard text variables don't solve my problem. I needed to create my own Text Variables so I could have the Customer ID on the file name.
Can someone give me a light on this?
Points are obviously awarded.
Thanks,
Cristina

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement, where I publish my reports on to the SAP PORTAL KM folders.
In my broacast setting for the web templates, I have the fisrt tab called
TARGET in PORTAL
File Name : ReportXX MONTHLY_<MONTH_ID> (F4) List
Currently I use the sys variable <MONTH_ID> which gives me the curr month;
My requirement is
If the report is run in the first week of the month, I want to generate a filename_PREVIOUS MONTH (label) and
if the report is run between 7th-30th of the month then to generate a filename_CURRENT MONTH (label)..
On BI.7 POTAL is it possible using some exit variables instead of the system variable which are given in the F4 List.
If so where do I create the exit variable in BW backend or the PORTAL itself so that I can access it from the F4list of of the filename column.
Thanking you in advance for you time.

How do you delete the email addresses in the BEx Broadcast wizard(send..F4)

Hi
In the BEx Broadcast wizard, you can enter email addresses manually or then you can see them on the drop down list(previously used email ids).
Question: you can create any email address and send to these but how do you delete those ones you have added? That means I dont want those email ids that display in the dropdown list or (F4) (can find next to the send column where we give recipent email id in the Broadcast wizrd).
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Sasi

Hi Gurus,
Can you please tell me how to delete the e-mail ids that you can see when you click on a button beside recipient Email Address field?
Please give ur inputs.
Thanks,
Sasi

How many e-mails can i send through Bex Broadcaster?

Dear Experts
I would like to know to how many e-mail address i can send a query through "broadcast e-mail" function with BEx Broadcaster. In other words, what's the maximum number allowed of recipients?
I'm using BI version 7.0.
Thank you in advance

1. How many more phones/ipods/devices can I sync with my iTunes? I know it's 5 computers. What about iphones and ipods?
No stated limit.
2. Does Syncing multiple devices mean that all devices and my iTunes will always
have the same content? i.e., If I download a few songs to an iPhone and then sync with iTunes, will itunes then sync that new content to any other devices that I sync with my copy of iTunes, therefore all devices will always attempt to have the same content?
Depends. If all devices are set for automatic synchronization and they all have sufficient capacity to hold your entire iTunes library, then all devices will have identical content and will continue to do so whenever you add new content. If you're using manual synchronization and/or your entire library won't fit on one or more of the devices, then of course whether or not the devices have identical content will depend on you.
3. How does this affect store purchases? Can I sync multiple devices to the same copy of iTunes and how many times can I sync the purchased iTunes store content to devices? I know it's 5 computers, but what about devices?
Same answer as #1.
4. Lastly, can a device such as an iPhone be synced to more than 1 computer/iTunes? Can I sync my iPhone to my own copy of iTunes and then sync again to someone elses and will this then sync new content to all associated computers and synced devices on those computers? Again, what about purchased content in such a scenario?
Unless things have changed, an iPhone can only be synched to a single copy of iTunes. iPods other than the shuffle can be synched to multiple systems by setting to manual sync.

BEx Broadcaster --HTML error

Hello All...
I am having many issues with BEx Broadcaster when it comes to scheduling. Thought someone may be able to give me some advice here.
Ok, so I am scheduling about 20 web templates to output into PDF and be broadcasted over to the portal inbox of the user. Its working in many cases...however several are giving me errors. The errors seem to be found in rsrd_admin when I go to
'display logs'. The error sort of looks like this.
"RED CIRLCE HERE"      11/24/2009 17:21:20 AKSALVI       00000000000001568463
   ""GREEN CIRLCE HERE"     Explicit scheduling of setting DPHARBOR
   ""GREEN CIRLCE HERE"     1 packages for 03 available processes created
   ""GREEN CIRLCE HERE"     Starting parallel processing of package 1 (1 settings)...
""RED CIRLCE HERE"   Processing package with 1 settings (AKSALVI EN)
""RED CIRLCE HERE"   Processing setting DPHARBOR
""RED CIRLCE HERE"   Error while generating HTML
What could this error while generating HTML be and come from????
Any thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Alerts to email when Bex Broadcaster Failed

Hi Experts,
Currently we are broadcasting Business KPI reports to the users from SAP BI at a scheduled time.
These broadcast settings are based on webtemplate. Some times the broadcast setting which is scheduled will fail due to the most frequest errors like " Error while generating HTML" etc.
The issue is only temporary basis, next time the same error will not come and the issue is not reproducable.So is there a way we can configure the alerts to emails when the bex broadcast setting is failed.
Transaction to see logs of broadcast settings is RSRD_LOG.
Thanks & best regards,
Sudhakar.k

3 possible solutions that come to mind:
1. Write custom ABAP program that checks RSR_PREC_SETT table and sends email when report failed entry is made, and schedule program to run periodically
2. Create process chain that kick off Broadcaster report and would also notify if report has failed.
3. You can also schedule RSR_PREC_SETTINGS_RESTART with Current date variant to run periodically and this job will restart any failed broadcaster reports from that day (stored in table RSR_PREC_SETT)
Check out this article for additional information:

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

Creation of text variants to be used in bex broadcasting

Hello
Can someone tell me the process of creating new text variants which can be used in the subject and content fields in the bex broadcaster Wizard. I can see some standard text variants there but need to create my own.
Thanks

Hi Tinkugeo,
I tried with the following code and it is working for me :
DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
Data: NEWDATE type sy-datum.
IF i_vnam EQ <variable name>
if i_step EQ 2.
CLEAR l_s_range.
NEWDATE = sy-datum.
month = NEWDATE+4(2).
year = NEWDATE+0(4).
day = NEWDATE+6(2).
l_s_range-low+0(2) = day.
l_s_range-low+2(1) = '/'.
l_s_range-low+3(2) = month.
l_s_range-low+5(1) ='/'.
l_s_range-low+6(4) = year.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.
Check that the variable you have made is of type customer exit.
Best Wishes,
Mayank
