Schedule a webi report to email issue

Hi,
A webi report was scheduled to run and send exel file to email one time. The instance is in a status of "Running" for more than 24 hours. When checked the instance details, it said "waiting for scheduling to complete. Job ID: 15,786, name:[Report Name], kind:Webi in Pending state (FBE 60509) [0 recipients processed.]". After a day passed, the schedule failed. And in the Publication Admin Log, it said
2011-10-17 16:55:22,173 INFO [pool-4-thread-4] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_15786 - [Publication ID # 15786] - Running publication instance.
2011-10-17 16:55:22,251 INFO [pool-4-thread-4] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_15786 - [Publication ID # 15786] - The global delivery rule for this publication was met; publication processing will now begin.
I don't know why it failed. Is there any option needed to be set such as timeout?
All destinations have been set and enabled. Have restarted and reenabled could not help. A webi report run interactively fine.
We are on version:
BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1 SP4
Windows Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2008 R2
Thank you.

Hi Ginelle,
Most likely this problem would be caused by:
1. Wrongly configured email destinations on the Destination Job Server, Webi Job Server and Publication Job Server - you can check in the CMC - Servers area.
2. The source report - check it can be refreshed ok, it could be there are objects which Business Objects does not like. Test by removing fields and rescheduling to see if you can identify which field is causing problems.
3. Also try resaving the source report under a different name and rebuild the publication with this report. Some older reports can become "corrupt", resaving\refreshing can help.
4. Check to see if the source report has any recurrences set, it could be there is an issue with the Job Server waiting fopr a recurrence to run.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL.

Our customer found when they scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL, it will cost much more time than usual after they have their SIA restarts.
The first time it takes 4-5 times longer to receive a report in mailbox than next time onwards.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Hi Abishek,
If the schedule is taking 4-5 times longer to schedule following the SIA restart I suppose it is possible that the Webi Job Server and Webi Processing Servers are not fully registered with the CMS - can you check that.
Also can you test by ensuring that if there are any Webi Job Servers\Webi Processing Servers in the environment which are stopped\disabled, can you retest after deleting those servers. There is a bug with XI3.1:
ADAPT01371367
Description:
Scheduled jobs often have a delay when the system is upgraded to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP 2.2 or FP 2.3.This problem also happens when some of the servers required for scheduling are stopped and disabled. In this case, the Adaptive Job Server (AJS) tries to confirm if all available Webi Report Servers are running, and this causes the delay in running the scheduled jobs.
New Behavior:
This problem has been resolved.
Do you have a test system where you could install FP3.1 and check the fix?
The only "workaround" I could suggest would be to ensure that all services needed for the schedule are running\enabled (Adaptive Job Servers and Webi Processing Servers). This will stop the Adaptive Job Server from its continual querying for those servers. The adverse effect of this is that the more unnecessary services which are running will necessitate increased network communication.
To check if this is the actual issue you are hitting, you would need to trace the schedule and check for messages like this in the logs:
[2010-08-27 12:02:08,769] [TID:24] [ERROR] [webi.PublishingHelper.<init>():89]: unable to retrieve all mandatories servers to proceed this job
Alternatively, log a message with SAP Support for further investigation.

Schedule a Webi report from the CMC

Hi, ALL
Is there a way to schedule a Webi report from the CMC without using an email account in the
'from' box? There are other placeholders that can be used but I don't know how
to use them please advise.
Thanks.

Hermant,
You need to make sure you configure the proper email server. Go to the CMC - Server > AdaptiveJobServer>Destination>Email. You may need to enable Email as one of the Destinations.
You must configure all the HIGHLIGHTED options.

Ajay

Error when try to schedule a Webi Report

Good day every one:
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem??? the issue is this, I want to schedule a Webi report but when i clic on Schedule and go to Format and Destinations tab, i got this message:
displayErrorMessage="VIEWER:VIEWER_ERR_DEFAULT (Error: INF )"; traceErrorMessage="\u003Cinput type="hidden" name="BENCHERROR" value="Error Number : - Error Description : VIEWER:_VIEWER_ERR_DEFAULT"\u003E";
And i can not see the formats availables to schedule the report and of course i can not see the configuration and destinations options.
Looking for an answer i found this:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1537527
but that is an old post and i can not find the file mentioned there, can somebody please help me to fix this???
We are using:
BOBJ 3.1 SP3
Windows Server 2003
32 bits
Regards

I just found this
I was able to fix the issue by replacing the webiviewer.properties file with the file from the WARFILES\WEBAPPS directory. The webiviewer.properties file looks like it was corrupt as there was only 1 line in the file. After replacing and restarting the servers there's no longer an error when selecting Formats & Destinations.
I checked those webiviewer.properties and like you , one of them had only 1 line, about the language.
So I replace the one from Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\WEB-INF\classes with the one in the folder Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\classes
My guess is that this properties is corrupted because of the installation of other language. What should be done is updating the file with the new language parameters but what is done is a replace of the file.
I foun that in this link

Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished.

These are Webi, user created reports.
Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished (this can be obtained via a SQL call, service call, etc).
The issue is that if a user schedules a report for 9PM but a process to move data, etc has not completed then that forces the user to keep re-freshing the report hoping that the process has been complete.
Ideally, in the selection UI add to the dropdown for 'when' the option 'Use Process X completion Time' (since it is a daily report).
Then starting around 9PM check to see if that 'time" value is populated then refresh (run) the report. Or it could just be a flag that the process has finished.
User's in the webi environment are asking for this, and moving their reprots to BO is not an option. That's why they have the custom webi enviroment.
Thank you.

There is no very good way to create a working event based on a file as the file will need to be deleted as soon as the event is triggered. However there are work around which can be done for this. Here is a link which is discussing about the process.. http://scn.sap.com/thread/1677109
Once you have created a file based even in CMC > Events> System Events and made a work around program to delete the file once the event is trigged all you would need to do in webi is in launchpad just schedule > Events > select the file based event from all available system events. Here is a screenshot how to make a report run based on a event..

Is there any way to schedule the webi report as body of the mail

Hi All,
I have a bit different requirement. I need to schedule the webi reports to BlackBerry Mobile .
The report should be displayed not as an attachment or URL but should be the body of the mail.
Is there any Trick or Tip to do that.
Thanks in Advance

You could schedule the reports to run as an Excel or PDF document and the destination as a folder on a server. Then after the reports are sent to the destination, you could use the Program Job Server to run a script which parses the files line-by-line and creates an email. It's not the most elegant solution but in theory it should work.

This error message means the parameter assigned to the prompt of the report while scheduling, was not correct.
Please check the parameters in the prompt section while scheduling and assign proper values.

Getting error while schedule a webi report

Hi All,
I am getting error "A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. [Measures].[4KO5AOUTL3ZKE55WDDOMUB0AI]. (WIS 10901) " while scheduling a Webi report.
Could anyone help me regarding the error?

Hi Manoj,
Go to the controls tab in parameters in universe designer and there increase the "Limit size of result set to" and "limit execution time to".
Also in webi go to the edit query and increase the "maximum rows retrived" and "maximu retrievel time".
I think this should avoid partial results.

Schedule a Webi report to multiple folders in BOXIR2 InfoView

Hi All Expert,
I might need your kind advice on what is the alternative way to do the below in BOXIR2 InfoView.
In my InfoView, i have several sub-folders under one folder. For eg, i have one "Sales" folder which contained multiple sub-folders as "SG", "CHI", "MYS", "JPN" and etc. I have one webi report created which have a country name prompt in the report and exported to each different sub-folders which the report prompt have been selected for each country name before export to the sub-folder. Eg, "SG" sub-folder have a webi report with "Singapore" as country name in the folder. All of the sub-folder's report are using the same webi report design.
My problem now is i need to open each of the webi report in the sub-folder to everytime when i need to perform a schedule or perform changes on the report design. If i have 12 sub-folders, i need to open 12 times to perform changes one by one or schedule the report to run one by one.
Are there any other alternative way to schedule one time then BO will copy the relavant report or instance to the multiple folder?
Appreciated your kind advice.
Regards,
Chee Koon

Hi
a publication object allows you to schedule X webi reports (which reside in several subfolders in your system) at once.
If you want to first to create/overwrite copies of your report in X subfolders and then schedule them all at once then you have to go with the SDK (even in BO XI 3.x)
You can find more information about the SDK here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary

Scheduling in Webi Reports with Changing Prompts.

Hi Experts,
I have a Webi report which is on top of 2 BEx queries connected through BICS. The Webi report has more than 4 crore records which makes it difficult to load each time when I refresh. I need to schedule this report so that the user can view the report based on the last instance.
The report has 3 prompts namely Plant, Material and As of Date.
The user uses only Plant and As Of Date. There are only two plants for example A and B. The user needs to run the report for each plant separately for all the days.
Suppose today is 03/07/2013.
The user will run the report with Plant A and As of Date: 03/07/2013 and second time with Plant B and As of Date: 03/07/2013.
Next today is 04/07/2013.
The user will run the report with Plant A and As of Date: 4/07/2013 and second time with Plant B and As of Date: 4/07/2013.
I need your expert opinion in achieving this while scheduling. Hope you understood the scenario and will be helping me out in this.
Thanks in Advance,
Abdul

Hello experts,
I am very interested in this topic, as I have the exact same requirement as Abdul:
Daily scheduling of Webi reports, based on BEx queries and connected through BICS. Done on BO4.
I followed Aashutosh's link above, and i read something very interesting on page 3:
Current Options Using Standard Functionality
Until BusinessObjects 4.0 is released, it is not possible to use BEx variables (which will be made available by
the BICS connector) or the last load date variable. This makes it impossible to automate the scheduling of
Web Intelligence queries filtered by dynamic dates or time-slices (for example, yesterday, last week) using
standard functionality. "
Is this already functioning on BO4/Bex? Do you have an idea of how to implement it?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Francisco

BO 4.0 : JCoException while scheduling the webi report

Hi,
We are in BO 4.2 patch 8.
We have 35 webi reports. These report uses SAP BW as data source. We are using DF to fetch data from SAP BW.
We have manually configured the RFC destination for JCO connection (as mentioned in SAP notes - 1638647).
Reports are getting scheduled successfully. But sometimes some webi reports fails with the following error message.
Database error: (CS) "Java Exception : java.lang.RuntimeException:com.sap.connectivity.cs.java.drivers.DBDError: [Data Federator Driver][Server] [Connector 'Sales_BO_New'] SAP NetWeaver BW has reported an exception: com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (112) RFC_ERROR_REQUEST_CANCELLED: connection with handle 3 closed
after cancel (remote system is PBI|BILPBI)" . (IES 10901)
This is in intermittent issue. If anybody faced this issue, then please let me know your feedback.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Personally, I haven't seen this before. To recap:
- Manual refresh work fine
- scheduling works most of the time
- but sometimes it fails with << SAP NetWeaver BW has reported an exception: com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (112) RFC_ERROR_REQUEST_CANCELLED >>
You might want see if you can isolate a particular document causing the problem, or determine if it's related to using certain refresh parameters
According to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/f6/daea401675752ae10000000a155106/content.htm
it says Find out from the JAVA application or the JCo traces which JCo Server was cancelled and restart the server; in the J2EE Application Server context, JCo Servers are often started via the Service JCo RFC Provider
but .. i don't know how helpful that is..
Best of luck
