Publishing Query's to Bex Broadcaster
Hi,
I have created a query and using the below path i am publishing the query to broadcaster,
Query Menu -> Publish -> Bex Broadcaster,
It prompts me for login but after providing my login details it shows me a blank page. Neither it prompts me for selection screen and nor it displays any output.
Any idea experts why its happening.
Waiting for valuable input.
Hi Dipika,
looks like there is no standard or customized web templates setup.Goto RSCUSTV21 and add for the entries AdHoc Analysis-0ANALYSIS_PATTERN,
Broadcasting- 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE70 and Query Precalculation- 0Query_Template_Broadcasting70 and save the entries.Also make sure you have activated them from business content.Let us know if you need further help.I assume you are in 7.0 version.This standard templates vary for the 3.5 version.
Hope this Helps
Regards

Unable to publish to Portal and BEx Broadcaster in WAD
Dear SDN Experts,
We are experiencing the following problem when trying to publish or broadcast a Web Template from BEx WAD to EP portal:
(we are using BI 2004s, SP10, Revision 263 of BEx WAD)
When we create and save a new Web Template, we choose from the menu Web Template -> Publish -> to Portal or BEx Broadcaster. These two options are active but when we click on either of them, nothing happens. The system is not responding in any way.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this problem?
We have thought it is an authorization issues either on the BI side or on the Portal, but as we have granted all neccessary authorizations we can state that it does not seem to be an authorization problem.
I will very much appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance,
Ivan GiurovHi Ivan,
Make sure ABAP and Java Stack are communicating. Run RSRT2 --> Java Web to make sure you are communicating with Portal.
Can you please check if you have authorizations to use Information Broadcaster?
Authorization object: S_RS_ADMWB with the field RSADMWBOBJ = BR_SETTING
Logon to Java Stack Portal --> Business Explorer --> BEx Broadcaster and test it from here. so that you are not having any problem with authorizations or connectivity.
thanks,

Broadcasting to Enterprise Portal using Bex Broadcaster from Query Designer
I have already been able to broadcast from Query Designer using BEx Broadcaster to the portal based on a role or a user.
I select "Export into Enterprise Portal" as the Distribution Type.
I then select "Export Document to Personal Portfolio" and then enter a role.
Then I check "User-specific" because I want it to be user specific.
This all works fine.
Now I get to my question.
Can I go one step further and broadcast to a folder call... lets say "Sales" inside of their Personal Portfolio?Hi Eric,
I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve it? -

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.

Text valriable in Query Description is not working in Bex Broadcaster
Hello Experts,
I am using Bex broadcaster setting to displaying Query Description through text variable availabe as <OBJECT_DESCRIPTION> in subject of boradcasted mail.
In Query Description I have used text variable at the end to display previous month/year i.e "Report &ZPREV&" .
Text variable with description is working fine in RSRT/ Analyzer, I am able to see description as "Report 201012" but the same description displays "Report &ZPREV&" in the subject line of broadcasted mail i.e. text variable is not getting assigned with desired value and technical name appears.
Thanks,this problem may arise due to non-assignment of text variable to the any of the characteristics you using the year so, REFER THE TEXT VARIABLE TO THE FISCAL YEAR . WHICH IS IN TIME CHARACTERISTICS.
HAVE YOU CREATED ANY OFFSET VARIABLE, CREATE A VARIABLE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR AND CREATE OFFSET TO THE VARIABLE AS -1 THEN YEAR WILL YEAR-1 , THE TEXT VARIABLE YOU CREATED WILL REFER TO THE FISCAL YEAR SO THE PREVIOUS YEAR VALUE OF THE TEXT VARIABLE WILL THE YEAR = YEAR - 1. -
I created a web template , and clicked on publish in bex broadcaster. I got a pop up message to create the settings so I choose the wizard and typed the email address , schedule time etc. and executed. It did not work at first because the SMTP was not set up. After the basis made that change , i started getting emails . Now when I am trying to run the report and click on publish in bex broadcaster , i am not getting the message for settings . What is the reason?
ThanksIt is picking up the settings you have defined first time.

The role of Reporting agent once we have BEx Broadcaster
Hi all,
I understand the BEx broad caster does the pre calculation of Web template, distribution by various mechanisms...So in this context, how and when Reporting agents will be necessary ? Can any one give the differences between those two ??
best regs
D BretDave,
For some time both will be needed. It is true that some things Reporting Agent did, send a report, BEx Broadcaster does better. But certain Reporting Agent features have not migrated yet. Here's how to think about it: If you want to run a query and store the data in a table for later use, you still need Reporting Agent. This covers priming the OLAP cache, Web template precalculation, pre-run Exceptions, etc.
If you want to present these query results, the means have moved to BEx Broadcaster. That's emailing a workbook, emailing a query result or a link, publishing in the Portal.
(Not) Coincidentally, the first set of features are mostly or exclusively ABAP-based and the second set is based on NetWeaver Java WAS.
Hope this helps,

BEx Broadcaster - Page cannot be displayed
Hi Experts,
I am quite new to Broadcasting. I am facing with this problem. From the Query Designer, I try to publish the query, a window open and tries to open a page, but after some time it loses the fight and shows the age old page with this message <b>Page cannot be displayed</b>. Any clue why this is happening. Is there any service(BEx Service or something like that) that goes down which needs to restarted?
Assured expression of gratitude through points.
Regards,
ManeshHi Siva,
The webtemplates are active and still no working broadcaster. It isn't that there is empty page. But I get the message which you normaly get when a site is not reached:
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Information broadcasting vs Bex broadcasting ?

Is there any difference between the Information broadcasting Vs Bex broadcasting.
i see from the query designer / report designer > tools > publish > Bex broadcaster
sow where is information broadcaster if it is different.
Thanks in advance,
BWerHi:
There is only one Information Broadcasting. You access Information Broadcasting by calling up the BEx broadcaster.
Thanks for any and all points you choose to assign.

Not able to open BEx Broadcaster after BW 7.4 Upgrade
Hi BW Gurus,
I am getting the error as shown below while trying to open the BEx Broadcaster. Please refer below for the step by step procedure.
This is seen after the BW 7.4 Upgrade. It was working perfectly till 7.3. Please guide me is there is any setting has to be changed.
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.
I am not able to open the BEx Broadcaster through the Query Designer after the 7.4 Upgrade. The steps of my activity include :
1. Open BEx Query Designer
2. Open an existing query which needs to be broadcasted.
3. Publish -> BEx Broadcaster.Sure...
I think if you go thru transaction SNOTE, you can download and see a PDF of a KBA.
But I always access via market place (which is exactly the same steps of SAP notes):
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/<note number>
or
https://service.sap.com/notes and seach with the KBA number.
Cheers!

BEx Broadcaster Send button - No Broadcast Wizard with Key Figures in Rows
Working in BI 7.0 SP 16, we are having an issue with BEx Broadcaster. For a typical horizontal query (key figures in columns), the send button in BEx on the Portal works properly and returns the Broadcasting Wizard. However, when using a query in a vertical format (key figures in rows), the window opended by the send button displays the "spinning wheel" and never procceds on to the Broadcasting Wizard.
I have checked for SAP notes related to BEx Broadcaster and was not able to find anything relevant.
The same query was tested with the key figures in columns and in rows. The Broadcast Wizard comes up when the key figures are in columns, but not in rows. Since it was tested both ways with the same query, I am assuming that the issue is related to the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a known limitation, or a patch available? Does anyone have a BI system with a query you could flip the key figures from columns to rows and give it a try?
thanks,
-ShawnShawn,
I'm having my own issues with BEx Broadcaster in the Portal, but from BEx Query Designer - Query - Publish - BEx Broadcaster, the BEx Broadcaster Wizard is available in both cases (Key figures in columns and key figures in rows).

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,
CristinaHi 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.
