Reporting Agent question

Hi,
I planned to improve performance in my query; to achieve this i need to print the query every morning after the infoprovider was loaded. i created a variant with the filters of my query, but, this query as i mentioned early runs every day so a i need a "dynamic" variant. To do that i need a program that modify my variant in table tvarvc; my problem is that i cant locate my variant in table tvarvc
I think i am in wrong path...
Thanks In Advance
Regards

Reporting Agent filename convention and result directory

Hi Experts,
We are using BW 3.1 so the questions below are refering to this version of BW.
I have to run a query on a monthly basis which has many results depending on a cost center input.
The problem is that I need to make a standard filename convention for the query results such as xxxxxx_yyyymm.html where xxxxxx is the actual cost center value, yyyy is the actual year and mm is the actual month.
Is it possible to set this kind of naming convention in the Reporting Agent?
Furthermore, I have to move the results into a standard directory of the Business Explorer Analyzer, namely EAIFILES/.....
Can I redirect the results into the specified folder?
Thanks and Regards,
Dezso

Dear Dezso,
unfortunately this is not possible in Standard,
you can download the data per download scheduler and send it to you needed location.
In Transaction RSRAPS you can see the created files, it is not possible to change the file name.
We have a solution to read the index file and rename the files to customized file names like yours, its possible but its alot of work.

Reporting Agent - Precalculate Variables

Hey @ll,
i am using BW 3.5
i`ve a question relative the functions of the Reporting Agent.
I precalculate WebTemplates with hierarchy authorizations in queries....therefore i can`t navigate in the webtemplate result....
Is there any way to navigate in the query although i shot the templates in the olap-cache and/or using the function of precalculate variables....
Please let me know whether anyone don`t know what i mean.....
Thanks in advance for all answers!
Cheers,
Marian

Yes, you will have to use the BEx user exit variables for this scenario. You can also use the SAP delivered SAP Exit variables if you can find any variables that meets your reqmnts.
Thanks.

Please provide solutions.

Hi Richa,
Chech in txn ST22 for your short dump to analyse the root cause of the error.

Priming cache by reporting agent problem

Hello All,
I have few questions regarding article on bwexpertonline for priming the cache.
The article is really great and big help....but i am not getting out put the way it should be.
1) I created a query - which doesnt have any variable/selection screen.
(question here is will it work for those kind of queries which dont have any selection screen/ variant ? ) --> client wants to prime the cache for few queries which dont have variable screen.
2) created web template and which refers the same query and save it in favourite.
3) went to RSA1--> Reporting Agent --> web template --> new setting
gave technical name, in parameter tab i selected two options "data" and "HTML for browser" by selecting the checkbox.
4) i dont have any selection screen so couldnt create any variants
5) mark the check box "fill olap cache if possible"
6) Save it and activated it
7) created scheduling package and drag and drop the reporting agent (which is on the left sideunder the webtemplate)
8) schedule it
9) sm37--> released the job and ran it.
10) job finished successfully
now my question is i dont see any entries for that perticular query in RSRCACHE (TCODE). i tired to run query on web, rsrt but still i dont see any entries in cache.
can you pleasse tell me where i m making mistakes ?? also, if i want to prime cache for lets say 6 queries do i have to create web template for each...and repeat the whole process for each ? how do i do that ? And will need to attach it in process chain so it can be run on daily basis.
Any guidance will be appreciated. I will come back and give points for help.
Thank You in advance...

On my system (BW 3.5 SP15) if I have Cache Mode 1 (Main Memory Cache Without Swapping) selected, I don't even have a Persistence Mode setting available - it only becomes available if I choose Cache Modes 2 - 4. Perhaps that's a support package difference.
At any rate, Persistence Mode of 0 - Inactive means:
When the cache memory has been exhausted, data is removed, that is deleted, from the memory (corresponds to cache mode Main Memory Cache Without Swapping).
So one option is that the cache area is simply filling up and the system is purging your Rpt Agent results. I also thought I remembered a setting (or maybe it's a fixed value) that said a cached result could not exceed a % of th ecache size, to avoid having a large single query result flush all others out of the cache.
I would check to see how large the OLAP Cache is on your sandbox. maybe it just needs to be larger.
Also worth checking timestamps (from SAP Help)
- Query generation time (corresponds to the specification under OLAP-Relevant Data)
- Time of the last loading of data into the InfoProvider (last data change)
- Last change to data value set (pre-calculated value set)
- Last master data change for navigation attributes
This time stamp influences the invalidation of the cache. If the last time stamp for a cache entry for the selected query is older than one of the above-named time stamps, then the cache is rebuilt.
Could you be loading Master Data somewhere after the Reporting Agent has run?
Might also be worth telling your client that Information Broadcasting is intended to replace Reporting Agent. RA will not be enhanced.

UCCX reports - Agent State Summary

I'm running the above report Agent State Summary and have a question on the columns
The total logged in time is as it states, the amount of time an agent is logged in
Not Ready - Amount of time they are in a not ready state within the Total Logged in time
Ready State- same as Not Ready - Time within the Total Logged in time
Now the question
Example of the states below
Total Logged in time 10 hours
Not Ready 2 hours 20%
Ready 6 hours 60%
Talk time 1 hour 10%
Work time 30 hour 5%
Reserve time 30 mins 5%
Does this mean the agents only spent 10% of their time actually talking to the customer and potentially 60% of the time waiting for callers?
thanks

Aaron
Just one more thing. for example SLA on the CSQ is set to 10 secs
Call is offered to the agent via Resource commend but the agent does not answer so RONA (15sec) is invoked and the call is re-queue - Does this impact SLA?
No agents are available so the call is queued with IVR- Does this impact SLA ?
Basically I guess the SLA is impacted if the call is either ringing on an agents phone after the 10 Sec SLA but answered or returned to queue if the RONA is say 15 secs - either way the SLA is impacted is this correct?
Sorry for the "obvious " question but customer stated that she was informed the SLA is only impacted on "ringing" time on the agents phone and not if the call is queuing, listen to on hold while queuing

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
TQ

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.

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.

Shilpa

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
