Information broadcasting: unable to fill variant in precalculation tab

Hi all,
I have been trying to broadcast a query in BEX BROADCASTER but when i try to fill in the variant in the general precalculation tab i am not able to create a new variant as it always takes me to web analyser screen and no option for saving the settings.
What i did is created variants in web analyzer as well as bex analyser but still in vain.
But the broadcasting is running if i go through analyser first then click on send and do the settings in the INFORMATION BROADCASTING tab.
But still there is only limited option available der no bursting or pdf or XML generation is allowed.
I need inputs on this because i need to broadcast it as XML format.
Regards,
Sarang

Please note that not all the distribution types are available for all the objects.

For queries, you can send them either by mail or export to the enterprise portal. XML is not available for queries.
Thanks.

Issue with controllable variable in information broadcaster jobs

Hi
I have a workbook with one query which displays different information on two tabs. This query has a controllable variable (customer exit) on "Material" from a query in another info cube.
Everthing is fine when you execute the workbook as you can select the variable from another info cube. However, when I set up information broadcaster job for this workbook, the controllable variable only takes effect on the report in one tab and runs for everying for the report on the other tab.
I tried to change the query slighly but keeping the same controllable variable and insert the new query into the other tab, it still doesn't work for me.
Is this just the limitation of IB or anything else can be done to get the results I want?
Kind Regards!

Some questions on Information Broadcasting

Hi,
We're implementing Information Broadcasting. I have some questions and would be delighted if you could answer some or all of them!!
1. When using Web-templates I get the following message after opening my zip-file (Independent HTML-file) thru e-mail:
- Bex Broadcaster does not support Precalculation. What's the meaning of this? We get precalculate figures.
- The broadcaster demands that Javascript can be executed in the browser. How to solve?
2. When I broadcast a query as zip-file HTML with seperate MIME files then the precalculated views do not have drilldown functionality, i.e. the navigation block functionality does not work (static). I put navigation on Distribution channel. Is this normal way of working?
3. Broadcast functionality does not give possibility for Distribution type: 'Export to Enterprise Portal'.
We have an Enterprise Portal. Is additional customizing required?
4. Process chains have the Event Data Change process. This only works if I attach it directly to a cube. When I connect it to the process load data (i.e. to an Infopackage) it does not work. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
Kind regards, Harjan

Hi Harjan,
Not sure what the issue is with regard to (1).
With regard to (2), you need to to click on the 'Filter Navigation' tab in the BEx Broadcaster, enavle filtering, and select the characteristics you wish to filter on.
With regard to (3), yes, there's additional configuration required in order to be able to broadcast into the Enterprise portal. Here's the documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/84/30984076b84063e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
With regard to (4), the idea behind integrating the broadcasting event into a process chain is to only perform the brodcast if the info provider was loaded successfully to ensure the end user has accurate and up to date information. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ec/0d0e405c538f5ce10000000a155106/content.htm

Necessary Notes for Information Broadcasting

Hi Gurus, I need some help in finding solution to this issue even my BASIS team wants me to find. Information Broadcasting (IB) can be accessed in 2 ways, from Query Designer and Web (if properly installed, we have additional tab apart from 'Data Analysis', 'Graphical Display', 'Information' and 4th tab is supposed to be 'Information Braodcasting'). We don't use WAD here.
I can access it from Query Designer not from the query 'display on the web' as it doesn't have the additional tab for 'Information Broadcasting'. I am pretty sure that I need to recommend them to install some additional SP and notes. Please advice me on which SP is missing.
This is urgent, so please respond immediately with some good answers.
Thnx.

The Precalc server is only needed if you want to use Information Broacasting to create and distribute Excel workbooks.
You probably want to install this on a separate PC or server, and if you use the IB to generate a lot of Excel wkbks, you may need more than one.
You can install on your BW Team's PCs if you want, but if you intend to let end users Broadcast wkbks, then look at PC(s)/Server(s) under your control. The Precalc Server is a Windows service that runs on teh PC/Server.
More recent SPs (3.5 SP 19 or 20 I think) have delivered the ability for the Precalc server to queue up wkbks, as it only can run one at a time. Prior to the queueing functionality, you could run into problems if mutlitple wkbks were hitting the Precalc at the same time. There is a new RSADMIN entry that lets you specify how large the queue should be, e.g. 10 wkbks, 20, etc.

Information broadcasting - web template help

Hi
We are using the standard 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN template ( though saved it as a Z template ). When I click on the Send icon ( for emailing the report ) , a new page opens up which provides me the following tabs :

3.Information
4.Information Broadcasting
I just need the tab for the information broadcasting when I click on send. Pls help me on how to achieve this.

Hi,
You do not have an option of broadcasting as PDF using a 3.X template. Please refer to the following links:

How to intergrate Outlook addressbook with information broadcasting

Hi All,
I have been able to send mail to my outlook thro information broadcasting. I would like to integrate outlook address book in broadcasting. ie. when a user is trying to send mail, he would like to get all mail address from his outlook in portal.

Hi,
With the distribution type Precalculated Value Set it is possible to fill variables of the type precalculated value sets with values for characteristic values in the background. The precalculated value sets are then available as variable values in BEx queries.
The precalculated value set displays the value of a variable of type Precalculated Value Set from the selected characteristic.
As a result of background processing, you can use the precalculated value set in a characteristic variable. You create a characteristic value variable in the Query Designer using the variable editor. Under Details you determine that the variable represents a precalculated value set. The value of this variable is the technical name of the value set specified in the broadcast setting. You enter the technical name in the Default Values tab page. The variable can be input ready and you can select different value sets in the variable screen at query runtime.
Hope it helps...
Regards,
Mona

Information Broadcaster --can't add recipient from the drop-down menu

Hi,
When I create the setting in the information broadcaster, on Recipient tab I can type in the users separated by semi colon, but when I select user(s) from the drop-down menu the recipient field is filled with 'on' 'on' and when I click check the error message says 'on' is not a valid user.
The same happens when I select a role from dropdown menu.
In short I can schedule the reports with manually entered recipients but can't select recipient from dropdown menu.
Have you guys run into this situation and got solution?
it's BW3.5 SPK16, mail server is configured, users are maintained in SU01 with valid email addresses.
Your helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks again,
Fred

Hey Gopi,
Nice to meet you here!
I did try to add my own user id which is a valid user from dropdown menu but got an 'on' on the field. When I typed my user id on the field, it accepted it. Basically the pop-up selection screen from the drop down menu is not transfering the correct values to the field. Very wierd?
Help me out Gopi if you are the Gopi I know.
