Quirks with Email Distribution of Scheduled Reports in BOE XI R2

We recently began scheduling reports (designed using Crystal Reports XI R2) on a BOE XI R2 server.  The Destinations are specified as email addresses.  We are distributing the reports only to internal email addresses, but we use the full internet address (e.g., john.doe ['at' symbol] mycorp.com).  We separate the addresses with semi-colons and without spaces. 
We have found that the system-generated email sometimes lists only the first name in the 'To' or 'CC' list, even though there are multiple addressees.  For example, One of the scheduled jobs had 13 recipients in the 'To' list and 10 recipients in the 'CC' list.  The job ran successfully according to the History.  However, when recipients opened the email, both the 'To' and 'CC' showed only the first email address that was in each of those Destination address lists.  So, it was impossible to tell from the email who else had received it (and to feel confident that all of the recipients really had received it). 
We had another job that had approximately 20 recipients.  That distribution failed with an error that said 'email address. Crystal Enterprise. Smtp: (501)', which led us to wonder if there is a limit on the number of recipients.
There are plenty of other instances where we have successfully run and distributed reports, but they've generally been instances with just one or two recipients.
I'd appreciate any tips from others who have had similar issues and figured out how to resolve them.  Thanks!

Hi Nancy,
What would be interesting to know is whether all the people in the TO list actually DID receive the report instance. If indeed only the first email address received the publication, then you might want to check if the email address separator (, or is an issue.
Honestly, I can't say I have faced this issue, but just a guess and trying to help!

  • Automatic Email When Scheduled Report Fails?

    Is there a way to configure XI to automatically send an email if a scheduled report fails to run successfully?

    This is actually configured at the report level from the CMC and not via auditing. For each report that you want notification(s)to be set for, switch to the Schedule tab --> Notification in the CMC. Enable email notifications as required. ie. "A job has failed to run. "

  • How to send email distribution to all users from report ?

    Hi all,
    I got the following report output :-
    Item_______Qty_On_hand_________Min_qty____Email
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    Once the reporis being generated, it will distirbute to all the email id list. Will this possible ? or any other better way to handle this ?
    Thanks.

    hello,
    you need to use 9i or 10g for that. there you would set the "repeat on" property of you report to the group your report is based on. this will create one instance of your report for each person.
    then you need to use advanced distribution, create a distribution XML file that defines your desired email distribution with dynamic TO value.
    for further info about advanced distribution, consult the publisching reports manual.
    thanks,

  • Scheduled Report - Bug with Multiple Selection LOV parameter

    Problem:
    I have a scheduled report with a parameter that has it's "Multiple Selection" checkbox checked. I schedule the report with multiple values selected. When I receive the report via email, the report ran as if I only selected one LOV value instead of multiple values.
    Facts:
    1) Enterprise version 10.1.3.2.1
    2) When you run the report manually with multiple values selected in the LOV, it runs great with the correct dataset.
    3) This scheduled report does not have a Data Template.
    James
    P.S. - I searched this forum for other treads on this issue. I didn't find any. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

    I have this same problem, too.
    When I select multiple parameters on the "View" screen for a given report, everything works fine.
    When I schedule it, however, only the last parameter I clicked on (regardless of whether a select a range or multiple individual values) is passed to the query. The other selections I make are ignored.
    What gives? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

  • Scheduling Report through InfoView - Destination Email

    My question pertains to InfoView in Crystal Report Server 2008.  I am trying to set up a scheduled report to run once, and be emailed as a pdf to my own email address.  I am using the administrator account and can successfully do this through the CMC, but when I try to schedule the report through InfoView, the destination always reverts back to the Inbox destination rather than the email destination.  The job has a successful status, but the destination is always the Inbox.
    I am fairly confident my job servers are set up with the proper SMTP information since I am successful when trying this through the CMC and I am setting everything the same through InfoView. 
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    This is Crystal Report Server 2008 and I guess Business Objects Enterprise 3.0.  
    When scheduling a report through InfoView I do the following:
    Recurrence - Now
    Format - I choose PDF, although it doesn't really matter for the problem I am having.  
    Destination - I choose email from the dropdown, there is no checkbox to ignore the defaults.  I have to input my own information.  I populate the From, To, and Subject boxes.  I also choose to have an attachment sent.  
    I click the Schedule button and I am taken to the History window.  The job has a status of Running.  I choose refresh and the job completes with a status of Success.  However, when I click the status and the Instance Details are shown, the external destination line reads as Inbox and no email is delivered.  The report is delivered to the InfoView user's inbox, but not in an email as I selected.  
    This process works when performed through the CMC, but not through InfoView.

  • How to change the sender's name/email-id in the scheduled report

    Hi,
    We have SCOM 2007 R2. In the Reporting tab (SCOM Console), we have some scheduled reports. I need to change the sender's name/email-id in a scheduled report. When we receive the report through email, receiving with the person's name who moved out of the
    team.
    I tried to change but could not find the option to change while editing the properties in SCOM Console under Reporting -> Scheduled Reports.
    When we are receiving mail from that scheduled report, instead of an individual name, would like to provide a generic name. Please help me out. Let me know, if you need more information.
    Thanks,
    Naren.
    Thanks & regards, Naren.

    Hello,
    the SCOM scheduled reports feature rely on SQL Reporting Services. So, if you would like to change the SMTP configuration, you should go in SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
    Open in the Start Menu, Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
    In the connection window, click OK.
    Click on the tab E-mail settings.
    Change the Sender Address.
    Click Apply.
    Alternatively, you could also change in the Scheduled report properties the field
    Reply to. I think it should customize the reply address for each scheduled reports, but I have never used it. Anyway, doing it with Reporting Services Configuration Manager is more interesting in the long-run.

  • Schedule reports - Email config

    Can somebody provide me the steps for enable schedule report options and the email configuration.
    Would Email,SMTP configuration enable us to schedule reports provided we have permissions assigned ?
    Please provide any steps or configurations..Thanks..

    Hi John,
    I have the SMTP address with the ports and we have our mail server.
    As per admin guide, what would be the user for the destination ?
    User Name
    Provide the Job Server with a user name that has permission to send email
    and attachments through the SMTP server.
    Password
    Provide the Job Server with the password for the SMTP server.
    Can i just leave the user name and password so that the users email will be taken ?
    Please refer to SAP Note 455140 to configure the SMTP plug-in to send emails. However there is no section in SAPconnect to enable you to add a user and password as a means of authentication. You will have to enter the IP address of your sending SAP application server to your mail server as a means of authentication to enable emails to be correctly relayed to your mail server.
    Hope this helps

  • How to configure a Office 365 email on SAP BI 4.1SP05 server to send scheduled reports by email ?

    Hi All,
    I am trying to figure out how to configure office 365 server on BI platform so that I can send scheduled reports by Email.
    Below are the system details:
    SAP BI 4.1 SP05
    Microsoft Office 365 Email account
    I referred to the SCN post for configuring gmail.
    I could easily configure my gmail account.
    I tried same logic with Office 365. Instead of using port 465 (for gmail) I used port 995 (for office 365).
    That didnt work.
    I also tried using port 587 for TLS authentication but that doesnt work either.
    SMTP Link for office 365:  smtp.office365.com
    For simplicity purposes, I have opened all the ports on the firewall and server.
    Please let me know if I have missed anything or if my whole approach is incorrect ?
    I am open to suggestions and workarounds.
    Thanks,
    Prathmesh Pai

    Hi there,
    When the order is saved, the system will call the mail ID maintained in SU01 of the user.
    It will then trigger the mail to the regular outlook mailbox.
    Else in some cases a new Z table is defined to maintain the mail IDs. System will trigger the mail through outlook. It has that inbuilt capability.
    Just ask your user to check his mail box to see if he has received the mail.
    Regards,

  • Changing an email address throughout the Enterprise on schedule reports

    We will be changing our email address from fsc.edu to fitchburgstate.edu.
    I have been told I need to manually change this address for all scheduled reports on the Enterprise.
    Is there an easier way to do this instead of going into each report?

    SDK = Solution Developer Kit
    E.g.; you need a developer that knows .NET to create an application that will do the task.
    To develop a BOE/CRServer XI R2 .NET application you need the Enterprise .NET SDK. You have to get this from the Enterprise installer.  Launch the BOE/CR Server XI R2 installer and choose Server Install - not Client Install.  Choose a Custom install.  You'll be presented with a drop down list for the Enterprise components.  Deselect everything and then look for the Developer Components option.  You may have to drill down into one of the levels to find it.  Under Developer Components you'll see the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK.  Select it to install to the development machine.  This will allow you to work with the Enterprise .NET SDK on your VS2005 machine.
    You can install the .NET SDK using the Client Tools option, however it installs much more than you'll need (e.g. the publishing wizard, etc.).  The Client Tools option can also miss a couple of key DLLs and assemblies.  The best path to follow is the custom server install path outlined above.
    When you're ready to deploy your .NET application you will also need to install the .NET SDK onto the Web application server as well. This is because we are not fully managed by the .NET Framework.
    Check the following link:-

    This will give you details about BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK.

  • Easiest way to email a scheduled report

    I have a client that wants to create a scheduled report and have it do the following, Run the report and automatically extract it into Excel using custom templates and have it emailed to their customers.
    Is this possible and what is the best way to do it?
    Thanks!
    Kris

    Hi Kris
    Thanks for the question. I’m afraid this isn’t possible out of the box or with the automated scheduling that I outline in a paper on my website. Even though my paper was written in 2007 it is still valid today for anyone wishing to use third party scheduling and Discoverer.
    To do what you ask is more difficult and I think you will have to look at interfacing Discoverer with BI Publisher. Either that or use the mechanism I outlined but then use a macro within another Excel workbook to go get the data out of the one you export. Come to think of it this latter method might just be the best way.
    Does this help?
    Best wishes

  • Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports

    Hello --
    We are on XI 3.1 with SAP BW and SSO.  Some users are getting failures with this error message when they schedule a report to run:
    "A database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901)." 
    It SEEMS as though the users are fine if they schedule the report to run immediately and have it run every hour (or less) after that.  If they schedule it to run several hours from the time they are in the system, however, it looks like they begin getting failures around 8 hours after they were in the system.  This would make sense from looking at the "InfoView and Central Management Console Session Management" document (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/405547f9-b840-2b10-44b5-8e17ff9e48a9&overridelayout=true) since a logon token expires after 8 hours, but since it is a scheduled report, and the user is not logged in through a browser, how is a token being passed?  Is it captured and included when the report is scheduled?  Would disabling logon tokens fix this issue?  How is authentication handled here if they are disabled? 
    Thanks for any info

  • Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

    Hi All,
    I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
    Any idea???
    regards

    Hi Manoj,
    1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very    large data.
    2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
    Hope this will help,

  • Scheduled report with sub-reports  (Encapsulating page failed).

    Hello Everyone
    I am fairly new to reporting and SAP.
    I do have a main schedule report containing 4 sub-reports in the sections and 1 sub-report in the page header.
    The report runs fine in the Infoview development folder, But whenever its deployed in system_testing folder, it doesn't open and gives the following error:
    "ERROR IN FILE XXX:Encapsulating page failed."
    I talked to DBA to change the permission for the user, but they don't agree. since its a scheduled report, user can only access the instance of the report, not to run it.
    How can I make sure that the sub-reports don't run when user opens the report.
    I appreciate any help in advance
    Thanks and regards

    Hi All,
    We have been facing the "Encapsulating page failed " error sporadic in our Crystal reports. It is not happening always.
    We have tried with different user accounts, it did not help much. Also tried various suggestion from the following SAP Notes:
    1536964 - Encapsulating page failed - The error change to Database error when the preference is changes
    1211088 - Error message "Encapsulating Page Failed" - This is not the case with our reports, we still have some reports facing the same error without an subreports in it
    1543412 - Infoview warning: "Error in File xxx : Encapsulating page failed - tried implementing the recommendation , but no help
    1900672 - Error: Encapsulating page failed while viewing Crystal Reports based on stored procedures in BOXI 3.1  -- Our reports are not based on stored procedures.
    We have faced this error in many different version of BOXI 3.1 like SP4.1, SP7.1, SP7.2. But the behaviour is similar. We have a clustered machine with 2 BOE servers and 2 Tomcat servers.
    I have tried activating E2E tracing, but I really couldn't understand the reason for error from the logs. Our reports connect to datasource using webservices.
    some information from the error traces.

    Is it possible to pass or somehow set two date parameters for a Scheduled Report????
    Typically this report is executed on an On-Demand bassis prompting the user for these values. But I would also like to run it as a scheduled report where I pass two dates that populate the params automatically..
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The request you need is not present in enterprise.
    However you can schedule reports as recurring with different time period.
