Precalculation of WebTemplates

Hi all,
We have a BI 7.0 Web Template with two variables. I want to use Precalculation for it with all the Variable Values and then Publish it into Portal. I have few gaps and doubts about the procedure to carry it out.
1. Is it necessary to install PreCalculation Server even for Precalculation of Webtemplates. I am not using any Workbooks for Precalculation.
2. If it is required to Install Precalculation Sever for Webtemplates, how to balance the load between different servers as this Web Template has 7 Queries in it.
3. If it is not required to Install Precalculation Server for my requirement, How can I balance or spread the load so that individual Precalculated templates can be generated based on Variable values. (Approx: 200 Variable combinations)
4. Any pre-requisites to use Information Broadcasting in this scenario?
Someone please throw some light on my doubts and help me out about the way to carry this precalculation for Web Templates. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
V.P.R

hi..
You will need to install/configure the precalculation server which handles the pre-calculation of the excel workbooks. It needs to be installed on a windows server that has excel installed. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/420d40854ee569e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

Issue with the ROLES in Precalculation of WebTemplate in Reporting Agent.

HI BWers,
I am having trouble in understanding the functionality of ROLES and USERS in the Reporting Agent.
My goal is to pre-calculate WebTemplate,so the users can get the data results based on their ROLES.
-> When I select ROLES under Authorizations in Reporting Agent; my understanding was it will just pre-calculate the WebTemplate based on Roles. But, when I look at the job details its doing for the Users. I opted for ROLES because I have 10-Roles and 100-Users, so the job runs for only Roles.
-> I don't want to select the Users, as it will take longer time and uses lot of system resources.
Can I just run for ROLES, for that under Authorizations in Reporting Agent do I need to select Precalculate User-Specifically and Select ROLES or just selecting ROLES will do. I tried both, just selecting ROLES is not working and selecting Precalculate User-Specifically & ROLES is not yielding the required results.
Could you please throw some light on it, I am on BW 3.5 & SP15.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
swordfish.

Hi,
If you choose the Precalculate by User option, all the data and HTML pages for the Reporting Agent setting are precalculated for each of the selected users in a single job. This applies in both the cases: Roles or users. When you specify a role after selecting the option 'Precalculate by User', the precalculation will be done for all the users assigned to that role and not the role.
Roles/Users is just 2 different ways of giving the user restriction. If you specify the roles, the system will precalculate for all the users assigned to the role. If you have few users for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the user IDs. If you have many users assigned to a particular role for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the role.

BSP - BW Webtemplate Session destroy

Hi, all
I have a question.
We use webtemplate by EP.
webtemplate is called by BSP.
Flow : EP -> BSP -> Web Template
1. EP SSO Method : User Mapping
2. BSP Session : Stateful
Problem is..
In BSP page,
p_page = '/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=KO&bsplanguage=3E&CMD=LDOC'.
navigation->goto_page( p_page ).
After navigation->goto_page( p_page ), popup window displayed(login)..
But Logon Ticket Method is connected succesfully.
what's the problem?
Please, Give me the solution!
Thanks & Best Regards..

to get the content from a html link, you can use CL_HTTP_CLIENT program.
the sample code would be something like below.
data: vref_httpclient        type ref to if_http_client,
      v_request              type string,
      v_response             type string,
call method cl_http_client=>create_by_url
     exporting
       url                = 'http://.....htm'
     importing
       client             = vref_httpclient
     exceptions
       argument_not_found = 1
       plugin_not_active = 2
       internal_error     = 3
       others             = 4.
   if sy-subrc <> 0.
   endif.
call method vref_httpclient->send
exceptions
    http_communication_failure = 1
    http_invalid_state         = 2.
call method vref_httpclient->receive
exceptions
    http_communication_failure = 1
    http_invalid_state         = 2
    http_processing_failed     = 3.
* get response as character data
   v_response = vref_httpclient->response->get_cdata( ).

BW chains in Error status - processes within the chain not aligned with BW

Hi,
Have anyone encountered scenario where processes within BW process chain are not listed in the correct sequence when chain gone to Error status?
If we need to skip to the next process, ignoring the current error process (w/o referring to the chain in BW), I would have picked the incorrect process to reply to Operator.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin Ng

No answer
I have impl. a workaround: I trigger event, which starts the precalculation of WebTemplates.

Broadcaster Distribution Types

Hi All,
I want to precalculate the 7.0 web template so that it won't hit the queries improving performance. I am looking for functionality similar to 3.5 reporting agent settings for web templates (precalculating only data and accessing via DATA_MODE=STORED). I'm on BI 7.0 SP10 with FPN.
When I create a setting in broadcaster for a web template I see only following distribution types:
Broadcast email
Broadcast to portal
Broadcast to printer
Broadcast email Bursting
Broadcast multi channel
When I create a setting for QUERY i see following additional distribution types
Broadcast according to exception
Precalculate value set
Fill OLAP cache
Fill MDX cache
But i don't see the distribution type "FILL PRECALCULATION STORE" which is mentioned on help.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/54/6e6f422f91c153e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Also, if i refer to documentation for creating broadcast setting it doesn't mention about this distribution type:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4a/337f42fb623150e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Points will b awarded for every answer..

Please see the message from BI development team I got after creating an OSS for this same issue.
"A "broadcasting into the precalcualtion store" is not possible.
By mistake it was in the documentation and some rollout material for
a while but this has been corrected.
There are alternative scenarios: e.g. precalculation of webtemplates
followed by sending them to users per e-Mail or put them on a file
share via "Export to KM".

SAP BW : Problem with precalculation job on WebTemplate depending on user

Hi experts,
We have a problem with the precalculation job on WebTemplate. When we schedule this job with a specific user, the job run normally and precalculation is done on step 3 :
Step 003 started (program RSRA_JOB, variant , user ID E0126831)
Start package ZBWP_SCHEDULE_TEMPLATE
- Start setting ZBWP_WAD_001 with variant -
Precalculation: initialization started
Precalculation: processing started
Precalculate data (fill DataStore)
Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_1, query ZBWP_IS01_001
Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_10, query ZBWPM_016
Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_11, query ZBWPM_016
But when we change the user to a technical user (like BATCH or ALEREMOTE which have the profile SAP ALL ), the job don't do any precalculation in step 3 :
Step 003 started (program RSRA_JOB, variant , user ID ALEREMOTE)
Start package ZBWP_SCHEDULE_TEMPLATE
- Start setting ZBWP_WAD_001 with variant -
Implementing settings finished
Did you have an idea for this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Mathieu

hi Kavi,
precalculated webtemplate can be said 'produce' query result first in the background, the 'calcuated' result stored in HTML format (statis), so will speed up report access without execute olap query/accessing database.
the 'disadvantage' is no olap navigation.
use via 'reporting agent'.
there is specific pdf doc for precalculate webtempate in sdn forum, point you later.

Webtemplate Navigation box question

Dear Experts,
I have a navigation block and a table on a webtemplate (BW 3.1). The navigation block contains characteristic values which are filtered by variables set on the variable selection screen. When the webtemplate is running at the first time the Navigation block does not show any filter value. Later when I use filtering in the navigation box or on the table the navigation box show the filter values.
How can I set the Navigation block to show filter values at the first time?
Thanks in Advance,
Dezso

Hi
Edit your variables and there you have a check box 'Can be changed in query navigation'. Just check it and this will solve your problem.

Precalculated web template - how to use it

Hello everybody,
i need your advice on how to correctly use the feature of precalculated webtemplate.
I have following situation:
we have created a pretty compliacted web template, which must be optimized on performance.
The rule should be: current month data should be available as precalculated webtemplate. people will access the web template with borwser (it will be not send via emial)
Below my questions:
1) How to call the precalclauted web template (if variable is part of report)
I was playing around with this prcealculation fueature and got to the result that the only way to call a precalculated web template if we use variables, is to include the variable and variable value into the URL string
Is this true?
Any other ideas how to call a precalculated web template
2) How to define flexibly the precalculation variant
Right now I have define up to 22 variants for each month (for eachworking day of the month).
For new month i have to define new variants.
My idea is to have it flexible: define one variant for each day of the month. As the month changes, the variants should consist of new dates (for the new month). This should happen automatically. Maybe with ABAP program.
Any idea how to do it?
Maybe anyone has batter idea how to mange the precalculation for given dates
TIA

PreCalculated Web Templates

Hallo,
I recently had to setup some precalculated web templates to improve query response time for users. But I have some doubts which could not be addressed even after I referred to course materials which I used when attending BW course a year back.
I'm not sure if you guys can answer these:
1.How are web templates created by Reporting Agent assigned to users? Where is it stored? Is data displayed in HTML or in Excel but only if exported?
2.Is it a must that all precalc webtemplates be run in backgnd?
3.Does a Query Value in parameter Data_mode mean the various modes like 'STORED', 'HYBRID' etc? Are these also termed as Reserve variables?
4.What is meant by the 'javascript functions' used in precalc web templates?
5.What is a New Data Mode Parameter? Can it be specified in the URL like 'STORED'?
6.When Stored mode, where is the precalc data stored? Where is a Rep Agent storage? What format?
7.Are all data_mode except new mode accessing precalc data in html option?
8.What does a precalc batch run mean? A Scheduled run of Reporting Agent?
9.How is control query defined?
10. Is 'stored' mode precalc data stored in HTML option? Does this mean HTML format? Or every precalc is stored in html option? Can I say html option = html format?
sincerely,
Adette

Let me try to answer some (answers next to questions).
cheers,
Ajay
> 1.How are web templates created by Reporting Agent

> displayed in HTML or in Excel but only if exported?
--: These are calculated by background jobs that you schedule as packages. These are stored in Reporting Agent Storage. You can think of it something akin to SPOOL. It is not a DB table or structured data store that you can access independently. Data is available in HTML.
>
> 2.Is it a must that all precalc webtemplates be run
> in backgnd?
--: If you use data_mode = NEW, it will run online (ie read data in realtime). The purpose of precalc is to run it in background, that is why it is 'PreCalc'.
> 3.Does a Query Value in parameter Data_mode mean the
> various modes like 'STORED', 'HYBRID' etc? Are these

--: Yes to the first part. Don't know if it is termed as reserve variable.
>
> 4.What is meant by the 'javascript functions' used in

>
> 5.What is a New Data Mode Parameter? Can it be
> specified in the URL like 'STORED'?
--: READ can be specified in the URL. Its effect is to disregard any precalculated data and read the data afresh from DB. In this case, OLAP doesn't check the reporting agent storage area, it goes directly to DB to fetch the data from there.
>
> 6.When Stored mode, where is the precalc data stored?
> Where is a Rep Agent storage? What format?
--> Reporting agent storage can be thought of something similar to SPOOL. It is 'unstructured data' as you would think. STORED mode (and other modes) is when you are executing the query. When you have run the package, the template o/p has been stored in the reporting agent storage area. The mode parameter in the URL only directs OLAP to read from (if it is specified STORED, it will read from RSA, if NEW it will read from DB and so on).
>
> 7.Are all data_mode except new mode accessing precalc
> data in html option?
--: Not exactly as I understand. See the details of DATA_MODE for other options.
>
> 8.What does a precalc batch run mean? A Scheduled run
> of Reporting Agent?
--: Yes. The precalc definition is just that. You need to then define a package and include your definition of precalc in it and then run this package.
>
> 9.How is control query defined?
--: Control query is another query whose output is to be used as input (if you have filters on same CHAR.. in main web template) . This query is defined independently as any other query, you include it as a predefined query in your template def.
> 10. Is 'stored' mode precalc data stored in HTML
> option? Does this mean HTML format? Or every precalc
> is stored in html option? Can I say html option =
> html format?
--: You can say the precalc o/p is stored as HTML (not strictly true, you have two checkboxes to precalc data and HTML, normally you check both in which case your statement is true).
