Reporting Agent Settings - Authorizations

Hey All,
We have created a ton of settings in the Reporting Agent, but we could not determine which users would be defined under Authorizations. We've determined that all the same users should fall under all Reporting Agent settings.
Does anyone know of a way to make that happen all at one time, without doing it one setting at a time????
Please help,
John

Hi,
In the Reporting Agent, it is not possible to use more then 255 characters. Please have a look at note 724050.
Thanks,
Michael

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

Reporting Agent - Alert Views & Alert Details repeating twice

Hi All,
I have configured reporting agent settings for a BW Query. The exceptions will be communicated through email. The email has been configured to output Alert Views & Alert Details. However when we recieve the email, the alert views, details as well as the URL is repeating twice. Is there a way to correct this issue. Also URL sometimes is not full, it truncates for some reason. Please advise.
Thanks a ton.

Hi,
Reporting agent is available and can be used in BI 7.0 with running reporting_agent transaction but SAP recommends to use information broadcasting instead reporting agent.
Note that you can only use the Reporting Agent if you are working with queries and Web templates in the SAP BW 3.x format.As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the Reporting Agent functions are covered by Information Broadcasting.

How can I delete a Report Agent Setting

Hello,
We are on B/W 3.5 and have several Report Agent Settings under Reporting Agent --> Exceptions. These are no longer used and have no settings defined under them. When I right-click the report, there is not delete and there is not trash can in the toolbar.
How can I get rid of these entries?
Regards, Dean.

Reporting agent functions

can any body xplain how to schedule tasks thru "reporting agent". pls xplain in detailed steps.

Hi,
The functions of the reporting agent are triggered by Information Broadcasting.
The Reporting Agent was not developed any further. It was removed from the current version of the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can now only reach the Reporting Agent using transaction code REPORTING_AGENT.
Effects on the Dataset
A migration of Reporting Agent settings and Reporting Agent packages by broadcast settings is not planned.
No more new developments are being made for the Reporting Agent. The Reporting Agent functions are now covered by Information Broadcasting, SAP NetWeaver Portal and the Alert Framework. The Reporting Agent has been removed from the Data Warehousing Workbench. You can still maintain the Reporting Agent settings using the REPORTING_AGENT transaction. These settings can be maintained for queries and Web templates from SAP BW 3.x only.
General Practices with Migration
The system does not support the migration of Reporting Agent settings for information broadcasting.
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
·        Managing bookmarks
Note that you can only use the Reporting Agent if you are working with queries and Web templates in the SAP BW 3.x format.
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, the Reporting Agent functions are covered by Information Broadcasting. We recommend that you use Information Broadcasting instead of the Reporting Agent.
For more information, see Information Broadcasting.
Use
       1.      You make settings for the specified reporting functions.
       2.      You assign the individual settings to scheduling packages for background processing.
       3.      You schedule scheduling packages as a job or within a process chain.
The last two points do not apply to managing bookmarks.
Structure
The Reporting Agent interfaces are made up of two tree structures in the functional areas Exceptions, Print, Web Templates, and Value Sets.
·         The left-hand tree gives you an overview of the available objects as well as the settings that have already been made. To give you a better overview, you can filter according to queries with settings in the Exceptions and Print functions.
·         The right-hand tree gives you an overview of the scheduling package and manages the background processing.
In the Bookmarks functional area, the Reporting Agent scheduler interfaces are made up of a single tree structure.
Integration
The following graphic gives an overview of the different functional areas for the Report Agent and its integration:
See also:
Defining Exceptions Settings and Exception Reporting
Defining the Print Setting
Defining the Web Template Setting
Defining the Value Set Setting
Defining Crystal Reports Query Settings
Managing Bookmarks
You have defined and actively saved one or more Reporting Agent settings.
You have created one or more scheduling packages.
Procedure
Select the setting that you want to schedule in the left Reporting Agent Settings tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler.
Use drag and drop to assign the setting to the corresponding scheduling package in the right-hand tree.
If the selected Reporting Agent setting from the Exceptions or Print function areas relates to a query with variables, you must select a variant of the query so that the scheduling package can be scheduled.
You are in the view Change in the right-hand tree of the Reporting Agent Scheduler. From the scheduling package context menu, choose Assign Variants The Variant Catalog. dialog window appears.
Select the variant you want and choose Select. The system adds the selected variants in the right tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler in the Variant column.
If you want to create a new variant for the required query or if you want to change variants already created, you have the option to process the variants in both the left and right-hand tree in the Reporting Agent Scheduler.
Select Maintain Variants via the context menu of the Reporting Agent setting. You the see a screen on which you can process the variants for the selected query ( Create, Display, Change).
Select the required variants as described above.
Choose Next.
You use this function to monitor and change the time and date settings on the mobile device.

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.
Regards,
Shilpa

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.

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.

Reporting Agent and Download Scheduler

Hello All,
    I have an issue with the Reporting Agent and Download scheduler. I am on BW 3.5. I am not familiar with the setup myself (I inherited it), and I would like some basic information.
   Essentially it was working fine until we added some new settings. Now, the Download Scheduler freezes mid-run - just stops - and I am guessing this has to do with the new settings that were created (not by me - again, I just inherited all this).
   Any help, suggestions, links to white papers (Google was NOT helpful) anything at all on this ancient technology would be appreciated.
   Thanks.
Dave

Please let me know whether anyone don`t know what i mean.....
Thanks in advance for all answers!
Cheers,

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.

The steps for to do Alert Framework configuration
Step1. Give Tcode: ALRTCATDEF
this open " Alert Management Screen", From the alert category definition environment, choose "Settings", and then "Configuration".
Step2. Ensure you are in change mode, by default it in Display mode.
define you alert category, If you want to be able to confirm alerts by SMS or Internet mail, you must enter the user created to receive all incoming mails in the "Inbound Processing" section.
Step3.In the "Status Handling for Mails" section, you can specify which statuses are to be reported. The first setting refers to the system being informed, and the second refers to a status mail being sent to the sender.
Step4. In the Logging section, select "Write Log" only if you want additional information about the actual processing of the alerts. This information is logged using the standard application log and can be viewed in transaction SLG1 (object ALERT).
That's it, Hope it help you.
