Sridhar,
The Reporting Agent is a tool used to schedule reporting functions in the background.
The following functions are available:
Evaluating exceptions
Printing queries
Pre-calculating Web templates
Pre-calculating characteristic variables of type pre-calculated value sets
Pre-calculation of queries for Crystal reports
Please go thru the below links:

Reporting Agent

Hello,
We are trying to implement Reporting based on precalculated web templates. the underlying query has variables e.g. Fiscyear-1. If I don't use any variable in the query, i receive a result using a controll query.
As soon as a put such a variable in i receive a short dump when running a package. How can I handle such variables / or variables in general by using a controll query ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Richard,
you can create reporting agent with set of variants (if needed). U can schedule the reporting agent indepedently or you can set inside a process chain so that the pre calculation will be triggered after data load.
In 3.5 you have the option to fill the OLAP cache if available option. Select that option after enabling the OLAP cache.
Hope this helps

Reporting agent help needed

Hi BW Gurus,
i want to know the physical storage location of the HTML file , when i schedule a WAD report by using REPORTING AGENT , i can see it in transaction RSRAPS , but i want to know the location where it is stored can any one help me in this .
Regards,
Abraham

Hi
Usually doc's are stored in the SAP directory on the server SAP is running on.
It is usually
USR\SAP\-SID- on a one of the drives (D, F etc).
To get the technical name of the doc go to the doc in the Report Agent and right click on it, then goto the most right tab and you will find a logical and physical docs (that looks like so EF4DDB8E6B183B4D9797EE842C0EF0CC).
The physical is the one you need.

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 Bret

Dave,
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,

Follow Up Actions - Reporting Agent

Hi BW Gurus,
I would like to know what are following up action is available in Reporting Agent
Thank You

Hi Luis,
There are 4 steps.
1) Send Mail- alerts user by e-mail; for example you can send e-mail saying sales qty target were missed
2) Alert Monitor entry - view results in the alert monitor; you can also give an URL for the alert monitor
3) Export - Send Data to a work flow for follow up action
4) RRI Interface - if an exception happens you can jump to another query for a more detailed display using Go To option

Send mail as follow-up action in reporting agent

I need to send a mail with the exceptions flaoting from a query. I tried to use the follow-up action of 'send mail' in the reporting agent. that didnt work because in our SAP we're not using the exchange connector and mails cannot be sent in the regular way.
I have an external command of sending mail.
Does anyone has a way of solving this problem, meaning, using my external command of sending mail in order to send the mail with the exceptions (this command works just fine in process chains, for example, for notification of process progress)
Thank You,
Yoav.

Hello Nili,
I think you can edit content and Subject etc.

Reporting Agent - Print Layout - Issue in Displaying Key Figures in Rows

Hi,
We have issue while printing reports using Reporting Agent. As part of Query Definition we have Structure of key figures in Rows. But while creating Reporting Agent , in Print Layout option Under Table Rows we are not able to drag Structure of key fig.
What could be the solution to this issue. How can we use key figures in rows?
Thanks in advance.
Samir

Hi,
putting product in the rows will slove the issues as the unit cost depends upon the prdoduct and therefore it will uniquely identify each of the material and then it will get multiplies with the qty and therefore you will get the correct result.
this kind of issue you will always face when you are going to multiply cost with the Qty and as the cost differ with the individual material.
Also putting material into the rows will cause the no. of rows to increase as all the materials will show up in the individual rows for the particular month.
Also you can make a claculated key fgure for the multiplication and use before aggregation.
But for that your both the key figures should be in the same cube i.e. in the same rows or the before aggregation will not work you will not even get an option of before aggregation in the CKF if the key figures belong to two different cubes.
Since your qty and cost are coming from two different cubes before aggreagtion will not work here.
And if you do before aggregation then you report will become quite slow as it will do all the multiplication anf then will bring the result.
So it depends on your requirement and your design how to proceed.
Hope it helps
Thanks

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.

Reporting Agent and Process chain

Hi All,
We have requirement where every day we need to print some BW reports.
For this we have created reporting agent. But when we execute reports manually through reporting agent it works fine. But if we include reporting agent in process chain it does not work.
Is there something which we should take care of when we include reporting agent in Process chain? We are on version 3.1.
Thanks and Regards,
Samir Attar

Output from Reporting Agent in BW is inconsistent

Hi,
I have created a scheduled package of print type in reporting aget. The job runs successfully but once I check the spool in SM37, the output is not corrrect.
First it writes only characteristics and then below that it writes key figures. Both Char and Key Figures do not come in one line.
Not sure where have I gone in creating this scheduling package in reporting agent.
Any help is most welcome.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You can define threshold values (exceptions) for a query. Data that varies from these thresholds is highlighted in color or marked with icons. You can use these exceptions to identify deviations from expected results at a glance.
Defining and Changing Exceptions
1. In the Exceptions screen area, choose New Exception in the context menu. An entry with the default text Exception <Number> appears and you can edit the description directly.
2.In the context menu, choose Edit. The exception editor appears; it displays the relevant parts for the definition on tab pages.
You can also call the exception editor from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
3.      Make the required settings for the definition of the exception. For more information, see Definition of Exceptions.
4.      Choose OK. You return to the query definition.
5.      Choose Save Query.
Removing Exceptions from Queries
       1.      In the Exceptions screen area, select the relevant exception and choose Remove in the context menu.
       2.      Choose Save Query.
Result
You have defined or changed an exception for a query. Execute the query. The exception is evaluated online. The cell areas that are affected by the exception appear highlighted in the appropriate color or, where applicable, with icons in Web applications.
You can display the exception descriptions and activate or deactivate the exceptions you want.

Report Agent Precalculation in BW 7.0?

Hello,
we are using BW 7.0 Backend, but 3.x Frontends.
We want to precalculate data - can Report Agent (3.x in RSA1old) functionality be used?
Or is it mandatory to use 7.0 functionality?
Your help is really appreciated !
Angelika

Not mandatory to use bi7 reporting agent for that
we could create bw3.5 queries for all the infoproviders who sit in bi7 and hence can use t code RSA1old for reporting agent settings,
even if u create setting in bi7 reporting agent it will work for 3.5 queries

Variable in the report agent.

Hai All,
I have used a variable in the report agent to run a query in the background. The variable I used already incrementing dates automatically when the report is executed on the web. Do I need to make anymore other setting in the report agent for this variable or Is it going to be fine.
Thanks, Vijay.

Anil, Ravi,
Thanks for your advise. When I created the variant in the webtemplate the date range is feb1 to feb28. But the Date range for the query changed to march1 to march1.
After I scheduled the package, when run rsrt with statistics for FEB I see all 0's in the statistics and for march I see some count in the statistics. Will this be okay? When run using the process chain this will take right dates?.
In the Agent settings, under filtering I am using 'No Filtering'. If I click on 'explicit thru query rslt then there is variant. Do I need to take this route?
Thanks for your help in this regard, Vijay.

Problem with "subject" & "recipient list" of reporting agent

Hi,
I've created an exception in a query & assigned "E-mail notification" for this exception in reporting agent. I entered "Subject" field and assigned "distribution list" to "Recipient list" field in the e-mail notification attributes.
After transporting, reporting agent & package, everything moved fine but subject & recipient fields are not carried over to Quality system. both the fields are blank.
What is the problem?
How do I make sure that these 2 fields are also transported to Quality & Production rather than manually maintaining them again in the target system.
Appreciate any help.
