Publication, Scheduling and Report Bursting

Hi,
what is the main differences between Publication and Scheduling and Report Bursting.
Regards,
G

Hi,
When scheduling a WebI report, you instruct the system to let it run for a certain parameter set at a given time. The result is stored in your system and it called instance.
In a publication you can include more than one reports (several kinds too) and define how and to whom you want to delivered them to. Then you can run/schedule your publication and the content will be delivered as defined at a given point in time.

Web Services SDK and Report Bursting

Using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP2, I want to split a report into multiple reports which I think I can do using report bursting.
I want a report run for each branch in my company. Rather than run a separate report for each branch (there are thousands), I'd like to be able to run a single report for all branches and then split it into individual reports, one for each branch in an attempt to reduce the overhead of scheduling reports and querying the database. From what I've read it looks like I might be able to do this with report bursting. If this is right, can I do it using the Web Services SDK? I can't find any mention of Report Bursting in the SDK developer's guide.
Cheers,
Jack

I can suggest you DocumentBurster. It is doing exactly what you described, it is a simple to use [report bursting|http://www.pdfburst.com/] tool and it has very good documentation.

WebI - Single-Pass Publishing and Report Bursting

Hi Experts,
I just would like to inquire if anyone here would know how i can probably do a single-pass publishing/report bursting using webi. Also, if anyone of you would have some links to documents would be great as well.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,

Performance testing of Input schedule and report

Hi All,
We are checking the time taken for a template to expand and refresh,
In a scenario, a report with 18000 rows expanded in 80 seconds,
But in BW backend system it shows,
SQE Query read: 5 seconds
It means remaining 75 seconds are required for front end, Is it possible to split up this time like where it takes more time.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Dynamic EvDre with formating on degrades report / input schedule performance.
Please check whether your input schedule with formating or not?

Scheduler and Report Time Conflict

Hello,
We have scheduled some Jobs such as monthly, semi-annually reports using dbms_scheduler. we use 10gR2 software and windows 2003 server. we have a report which supposed to run at 4:00 AM and as soon as the report finishes it sends the report as email to the authorized users. when the scheduler ran the report inside the report it shows as ran at 3:08 AM where they get systimestamp. but when i query the
select last_stat_time, next_run__date from dba_scheduler_jobs where job_name ='TEST';
last_start_time next_run_date
03-DEC-12 04.00.00..223000 AM -04:00 07-JAN-13 04.00.00..200000 AM -04:00
when I query systimestamp from dual on that database from sqlplus:
i get the following:
systimestamp
04-DEC-12 07.40.16..152000 AM -05:00
I see the difference of -04.00 and -05.00 from both of the queries. i know the systimestamp from dual is correct. how to I fix the scheduler Job to run at the correct time with daylight savings to take effect?
Help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.More appropriate for the Scheduler forum (Scheduler but I can tell you that if the job schedule is specified with a time zone expressed as a GMT offset (as yours are) then it is NOT "dst aware". Also comes into play if you are using a pl/sql function vs. the scheduler calendaring expressions for REPEAT_INTERVAL.
I'd suggest you close this msg and start again in the proper forum. You'll get better and more focused help there.

BO XIr3 scurity - disable scheduling and report save as output

Good afternoon
I am administering a Business OBjects Xir3 system. I am creating users and groups and applying some base level security via access levels. At the moment I am tryign to stop users from scheduling or rescheduling reports and to stop them saving reports as anything but pdf output.
To achieve this I created and access level that I have assigned to the group in which the users are members:
In the access level I have specified (under general) to disable the ability to schedule or reschedule any reports
I have have denied access to schedule from applications\performance management
Under content\web intelligence report I have specified to override general global and deined access to all scheduling options here also
None of this appears to have worked users still have the option to schedule form the actions menu and the right click.
For the restricted save as ouput i have denied the option to save as csv and xls under Under content\web intelligence report but again this has not taken effect. Have i missed an option to check or have i missed something really obvious about the setup of BO XIr3
any help greatly appreciated
Chris

Hi Chris,
the workflow is the following:
1. Define the access levels ( You have done this)
2. Assign the access levels to users/groups for accessing specific objects (Folders, Reports, Groups, Users, Applications etc.).
I must admit that you are right, some BOBJ authorizations imply the kind of objects they can be applied to. But on the other hand some authorizations do make sense for several kinds of objects. The implementation of the BOBJ authorization scheme requires that you explicitely define the object level your access level should be applied to.
So I suggest that to assign the defined access levels at the "All Folders" level to the related Users/Groups in your organisation.
Just log on the CMC, select "Folders" from the drop-down menue, just highlight one of the folders, invoke the context menue (by pressing the right mouse button) and navigate to Manage->Security->All Folders Security . You can do there the access level assignment for your principals (ie. users or groups).

Stratos

Copy / move input schedules and reports to a team folder

Hi,
Is there a way to take a group of input schedules / reports that are currently saved in one team folder and copy them to another in one go or do I have to do it one by one, i.e. individually?
Thanks,
Arnold

P.S.
1) Log in to BW -> UJFS -> go to desired folder -> right click -> Download it.
2) Right click on where you want move - > Right click -> Upload it

GBN/ASUG Hosts Report Bursting Webcast by BI Builders Tomorrow

GBN Crystal Reports SIG Webcast: Report Bursting
December 8, 2009 - 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. Central
Iain Rogers, The BI Builders
Report Bursting describes the distribution of hundreds of thousands of reports, customized to individual recipients. This presentation will review the distribution and report bursting components included in the latest version of the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform.
BusinessObjects Enterprise and Edge, in their XI 3.1 edition, now include some powerful capabilities that allow users to automate the process of personalizing and distributing reports and report packages to audiences as large as 1,000,000 users. During Publishing, the data in documents is refreshed against data sources and personalized before the publication is delivered to recipients. There are a few options to choose from:
One database fetch for all recipients
One database fetch for each batch of recipients
One database fetch per recipient
The most important consideration is when to and when not to use report bursting. We will answer that question and cover some best practices for report bursting and tips to consider when designing publication and distribution workflows.

Using the Bursting engine for scheduling the Reports

Hi,
Can we use the Bursting Engine for scheduling the reports? For example I want to run a report in a scheduled time and send the mail to destination. We can do these things in the XML Publisher console. But we need to find any other way to schedule a report.
Thx,
Vijay.

I am looking for the same thing.
I believe the APIs are entirely separate from the functionality in the BIP web application. So that there is no way to programmatically initiate the scheduling of a report/template already defined in the UI via a command line or API call. Is this accurate?
I sort of expected the APIs to have functionality that exposed the features of the web application, as opposed to just exposing the base functionality/engine of BIP.

Scheduling and Bursting to Dashboards

We are doing this on BI Publisher.
We have a report that can be run across all projects(around 3000) in the organization. We can schedule the report but we dont want to schedule it for each project.
Is there way to schedule the report from BI Publisher and burst it by Project to the Dashboards?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi
You can use the bursting option for the same.In the bursting properties set the spilt by and deliver by to department name ie
Split by:/ROWSET/ROW/DEPARTMENT_NAME
Deliver by::/ROWSET/ROW/DEPARTMENT_NAME
And in the SQL query give the query similar to this
select d.department_name KEY,
'Template1' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER1,

Unable to schedule a report to email and print

I have been working on a task to both print and email a report to recipients whose email addresses are obtained at runtime. So far I am able to email the report as a PDF attachment, however, I am not able to get the report to print. I have three thoughts as to why the report is not printing.
1. The printer is in a subdomain under the domain where InfoView and the Enterprise server reside.
2. It is not possible to schedule a report for both an SMTP and print destination simultaneously.
3. The format is causing an issue in printing - the SDK API states "Printer is a report format specific destination and can only be used when the report object is a Crystal Report."
I have looked at the scheduled report in InfoView and can see that the print settings I am passing are correctly set for the scheduled instance. Does anyone know if there is a problem with trying to schedule printing and email at the same time, or if the report format must be .rpt?
Below is my code. Thank you for your time.

Hi Jason,
Based on your code, I could not tell if you were scheduling a Crystal Report or a WebI document.
Regardless, what I would suggest is you try scheduling the report/document on InfoView.
Once you schedule it on InfoView, you can retrieve the instance on Query Builder (or through code) and compare the properties that are being set through InfoView and the one you set through your code.
This should indicate if you are missing some properies or have set some properties incorrectly.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dan

Scheduling Discoverer Report and distributing Discoverer Report Output

Hi,
We are using discoverer (Along with Oracle HCM R12) and would like the END USER to schedule the reports by themselves.
There is an option to schedule the report, and also an option to share it to chosen users/ responsibilities.
We scheduled one report and also set the sharing option to share with others but it seems the report executes but doesn't get sent out by email to the END USER's email id.
Any ideas / thought on this please?
NB: We are looking to distribute Discoverer Report Output from scheduled Discoverer reports...not looking to share the report with other users/ responsibilities.

How to Schedule a Report to Run on a Specific Business Day and Not on the Weekend

Hi,
Is there a way to schedule a Webi report to run on a specific Business Day? For example, if I wanted a report to run on the 3rd day of every month, but when the 3rd day for a particular month landed on a Saturday or Sunday, then Monday would automatically be chosen instead. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
You can do that by selecting the calendar option while scheduling the report and manually selecting the 3rd day of every month and when the 3rd day for a particular month landed on a Saturday or Sunday, then select the next Monday.
I dont see any option available for this scenario directly in BO.
