Information Broadcaster - textvariable

Hi All,
one more question regarding information broadcasting.
i want to use a own text variable as a text for an e-mail. I created an text variable in query designer and thought this would fix the problem. But, the text variable is not available. Is there any other way to create a text variable or is it not possible to use a own text variable.
Regards
Juergen

OJ,
In the examples mentioned above, i was referring to Information broadcasting. I was hoping that you could use text variables as mentioned in help.sap
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/0dfa40fe14f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Texts
Here you can make the following entries:
·        Subject: Enter a subject line for the e-mail manually or use a text variable from This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Attach Text Variable. The text can be up to 50 characters long.
·        Importance: Select the desired importance of the e-mail (low, medium, high).
·        Contents: Enter text for the contents of the e-mail manually or use a text variable from This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Attach Text Variable. When sending online links, the system automatically adds a link to the text of the e-mail if it is not part of the text via the variable PR_ONLINE_LINK.
Can someone share some information.

Information Broadcast - how to get options for process chains?

Hi,
I try to find out why I do not get the options to trigger the information broadcast through the process chain.
Every time I try to schedule an information broadcast, I only see the option to schedule the broadcast by time only.
I tried by creating/activating a process chain and many more ways - with no success in seeing the desired options.
Who could help and tell how I get the option "Scheduling Set" / "Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider"? Do I need some add. piece of software?
Thanks!

Information Broadcaster Utilizes 60 to 90 % of Java Stack CPU

We are currently on BI 7.0 and EP7.0; we have started using Information Broadcaster and we are noticing that it utilizes 60 to 90% of CPU on the Java stack.
One thing to inform is that we are using the same Java Stack for Portal, BI and R/3.
90% of CPU seems abnormal to me (At the peak of its usage the Portal Performance goes down).
Will this issue get solved if we use a dedicated Java Stack for BI? Thoughts Please.
Regards,
Deepak

Deepak,
We too facing the same problem.
After proper analyzation our experts decided to go for a dedicated Java Stack for BI to increase the performance.

Information Broadcasting in SAP BI 7.3

Hi All,
We have a requirement to send a report to few recipients through Information Broadcasting in .CSV file. When I entered Info Broadcast setting through BEx analyzer, I am not able to find the option to send the file in .CSV format. I could only see MHTML, HTML and Links to current data. Could you please help me out in solving this?
We are on SAP BI 7.3
Thanks.

Hello,
Unfortunately it is only possible to broadcast with the output format CSV with a query or query view. That is by design.
Best regards,
Michael

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!

Information Broadcasting: Monthly Reporting with variable dates

Dear all,
we have created a lot of reports with RD and have pubished the reports in the portal. Our reports have a lot of selection screens. Now we would like to use information broadcasting. We have already created information broadcasting settings. We have maintained fix variants for our reporting
For example:
Variant x1
Organization: C110
Scenario: Actual
Date: is filled by the user Exit
Now we tried to shedule the report. We are using Variant x1 to find the correct selection. The problem is, that we have already saved a fix date in the variant (for example 01.01.2008), because the field is obligatory.
The User-Exit for the variables works with step 1, but the problem ist, that the variant x1 is overwriting our User-Exit value.
How can I avoid, that the Variant is not overwriting the User-Exit. Of course for reporting without variant, the manual entry has priority before the user exit.
Thanks for a soon feedback.

hi,
in order to update months, firstly create variants for the reports. Then implement the below program modifying the users inputs. For current month or last month you have to hard something like sy-datum(6), an you have to hard code the field name for the month variable that you use in query.
Below program is for BI 7.0, you can also check the document. It also contains a method for bw 3.5 variants.
You can schedule this program in a process chain or make variations of this as needed.

if rsrvariant-VARI = variable AND rsrvariant-vnam = vname.
rsrvariant-SIGN = sign_01.
rsrvariant-OPT = opt_01.
rsrvariant-LOW = low_01.
rsrvariant-HIGH = high_01.

rsrvariant-SIGN = sign_01.
rsrvariant-OPT = opt_01.
rsrvariant-LOW = low_01.
rsrvariant-HIGH = high_01.
endif.
update rsrvariant.
if sy-subrc 0. insert rsrvariant. endif.
endselect.
RSRVARIANT-VNAM must be your month variable.
RSRVARIANT-LOW and HIGH must be your automatic month like sy-datum(6)

Information Broadcasting settings Problem.

Hi All,
When we are trying to change the Information Broadcasting settings for some queries. We are not able to edit the existing settings as the message pops up saying system is not ready for change and asking us for the modifiable system. Is it possible to change the information broadcasting settings with out making the system modifiable?.
Regards,
Aditya.

In which system you are trying to do this?
I understand in DEV system, there should not be any problem of doing the system modifiable and then do the Broadcasting setting and then transport it to Qly and Prod.
However Qly and Prod system are not supposed to be modifiable.

Pankaj

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

Please help me out if anybody has faced and resolved this issue.
Thanks and Regards,

In Bex under the Business Explorer / Tools, you should have a Distribute option to distribute workbooks. This should open the web browser based Information Broadcasting inerface which allows you to send a wkbk immediately, or you can schedule the execution and distribution.
I believe with 3.5 SP15 there is an option to distribute as a csv file. I believe the Note has you add an entry to a table that adds csv as an output option, but I think the technical functionality actually exists before SP15.

SAP BI - Information Broadcast through E-mail.

Hello,
I am facing issue with information broadcasting.
I set up a Broadcast setting,
1) Distribution type: Broadcast Email
2) Output format: MHTML as Zip file
3) Variable assignment: determine here
4) Filter navigation: No filter
5) scheduled monthly
When i broadcast the report, the user receives the e-mail with the Zip file.
But when he open the file he is not able to see the data (though there is data in the system)
                                                      email send
Bex report -
> BI System -
> user (user receives the email but cannot see data)
This occurs for different users. But the user in the past has received e-mail with data.
Please help me in understanding this.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Hey there,
Have you checked the SAP Notes mentioned below:
Note 958314 Broadcasting: Limitations for the MHT format
         772246 Display of MHTML mail incorrect
Also, it would be advisable to run the support desktool from Note 937697. If you find any RED errors, try to correct them using the suggestions given (see right-hand side). This checks the communication configuration between systems and platforms and may highlight errors which would affect the broadcasting of emails.
Hope this helps!
