Schedule Brio/IR Reports to Trigger Based on External Events

Hi all, we have a new request to trigger reports to run when a) the database refresh is completed or b) other reports have completed. We have both Brio V8 and Hyperion 9 BI+ platforms.
I've thoroughly investigate 'external trigger' but it appears these are not completely automated (require user intervention).
Can anyone share solutions / workarounds ? Appreciate your expertise and help in brainstorming!
Thanks.

Hi,
The file base event looks for the specific file on specific location, if the file already exist it will not trigger. You must remove the file before the event server start looking for the file. BO event server does not look at the time/date when the files created it only check for the file name. You can create a program in BO which can trigger after the successful running of the report and delete the event file.
In Business Objects the only components do not have fail over capability is the Event server, if you have distributed environment, the events will not fail over to another server.
I Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Muhammad

JTable row background change - based on EXTERNAL event

Greetings folks!
I'm hoping for some help with a JTable issue. Here's the scenario:
The app is a point of sale application. The user scans or manually adds an item to the order, which causes a row to appear in the JTable displaying description, price, quantity, etc. The user can then right click a row on the JTable and select an option from the popup menu. If the user selects one of the options, I want to be able to change the background color on that row.
EVERYTHING I've seen online and researching is based on adding a custom renderer to the jtable which changes the background based on the data in the row. In my case there isn't anything in the row which changes... hence the point of changing the color.
What I'm looking for is a method which will let me change the background of row x. I'm guessing there isn't a way. I'm hoping someone has a suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
John E.
PS: I'm fairly new to java and working with inherited code, so please no 'you need to redesign the world' type answers unless there's an easier way. :)

In my case there isn't anything in the row which changesThen how is the table going to know what color to paint the row? Remember painting the row is a dynamic process. You can't just paint it once. You need the ability to repaint the row if for example the table is scrolled and the row is now longer present. Then when the table scrolls again and the row is present you need to be able to repaint the row in your specified color. This means you need some way to tell the table what color the row should be. Which means you need to keep that information somewhere.
One way to do this is to store the data in the TableModel that indicates that this row should be painted a "different" color. Then your situation is like the examples you have found. You now have some data you can test. This column does not need to be visible in the table since you can remove the TableColumn from the TableColumnModel so the column is not painted.
Here is a simple posting that shows a better approach to painting row backgrounds withouth using a renderer:

How to trigger a report based on a event/stored proc or sql dts completion

Post Author: Crystaldev
CA Forum: Publishing
I want to run/trigger a crystal report based on file existence or based on a stored proc/sql dts/a value present in a sql table. The way I want to do is schedule a crystal report in crystal enterprise and then run the report based on a event like file existence or based on a sql dts completion or a value existence in a sql table. We are using crystal reports v10.
I am not sure how we can do this, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

BOE report scheduling based on BW event

Hi Experts,
I am looking for a solution to schedule a BOE report (eg. crystal, WebI) based on a BW event (eg. data load is finished).
Systems: BOE XI 3.1 SP3, BW 7.01
The best option with minimum SDK enhancements so far is when BW routine creates a file in a specified folder and BOE Event Server picks up this file and raises a file event which is used as a trigger for a report schedule.
Has anyone come across other alternatives without external file manipulations?
Any insight into possible BOE BI 4.0 new features on BW-BOE cross platform scheduling and events handling?
Thank you

Hi,
BusinessObjects Enterprise also has an Event Server and the most simple event could be the "existence" of a file on a file server. and yes there is also an SDK for it. You can find more details as part of the BusinessObjects Enterprise documentation on help.sap.com

How to schedule the webi report based on data changes in the report data

Hello,
I want to schedule a webi report based on data change in a column in the report.
The scenario is something like below:
1. If a data of a particular column changes from 2 to 3 than I would like to schedule this report and sent it to users mail box.
I know how to apply alerts or schedule a report or data tracking for capturing changes in the report but I dont know how to schedule the report only for data changes.
Anybody done this before.
Thanks

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..

Scheduled WEBI reports based on File Events not retrieving data

Dear All,
We are facing performance related issues with Scheduled WEBI reports based on file based events.
When running Web Intelligence on demand it takes 4to 5 Minutes.
Scheduling the same report in Excel format it takes more than 20 minutes.Schedule status showing success but no data found in Excel instance.
Env:BOXI3.1 Sp3
Windows 2003
It woud be great if any one can share your ideas.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Is your report has prompts?
if you have prompts , make sure that you assigned prompts in the schedule also.
Hope you have multiple webi processing servers and adpative job servers for better scheduling performance.
Try below solution .
On the BusinessObjects Enterprise server, navigate to the folder <install root>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_X86\dataAccess\connectionServer
Open the file cs.config in a text editor such as Notepad
Search the file contents for the string "Traces Active"
Modify the line from <Traces Active="Yes"> to <Traces Active="No">
Save the cs.config file
Restart the Web Intelligence Processing Server

SharePoint 2010: Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow is not sending ANY email

Hello,
I've a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise farm. I setup a Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow in a site collection with different web analytics reports options checked. So far I've not got ANY email. When I went to Site Workflows, I'm seeing that the workflow
is running. When I click on Completed status, I see below outcome in the Workflow History section:
"Email sent but reports with no data were not attached."
And I see below information in the Workflow History list:
"Attached are the daily Web Analytics reports for 1/7/2015 through 1/7/2015 for SharePoint Site Collection
http://server/team/site scheduled by workflow "SharePoint Site Web Analytics Reports". "
I am able to generate the reports manually by going to Site Collection Web Analytics Reports, but I want to schedule them. The problem is I'm not getting ANY email in my inbox. What am I missing here? Are the emails getting filtered by Outlook or workflow
is not sending emails at all?
Please help! This is getting frustrated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the email is not sent from the Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow.
I recommend to the things below:
1. Check if the Outgoing email has been configured for the web application where you run the Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow.
In Central Administration > Application management > Manage web applications > select the corresponding web application > click General Settings in the ribbon and select Outgoing E-mail.
2. Make sure that your account has email address configured.
Thanks,
Victoria

Can report program trigger a job and then a job trigger another report?

Actually I'd like one ABAP4 report program trigger another ABAP4 report program and yesterday some people here suggested me to use SUBMIT statement at the end of the source program, but if we don't want to touch the source code of the source program, what would be the best way to trigger another report program, in this way: report program1 -> job -> report program2?
or report program1 -> event -> job -> report program2?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
I know this is a late reply and you probably already solved your problem. However, the new Job Scheduling capabilities of SAP NetWeaver might be something to look at. You can find more information about this on SAP Service Marketplace under quick-link job-scheduling (http://service.sap.com/job-scheduling)

Can we schedule FSG thru Report Manager?

Hi all,
I am trying to schedule an FSG that is currently being published using Report Manager. So it has a repository location defined and a item link set up for quick view of the report. There are several content sets that are used to run the report. Currently the report is being manually published every month. Is it possible to schedule the FSG to run automatically every month at specified date and time?
Also is it possible to schedule or trigger the FSG publishing as soon as the GL period is closed?
Thanks
Sunil

Dynamic schedulling of WEBI report

Hi,
I have created a WEBI report based on BICS connection.
Report has a date parameter and when scheduling the report in BI 4.0 Server based on daily, monthly and weekly I want to change the value of parameters dynamically.
How top acheive this?
Environment details:
BI 4.0 Support Pack 8 patch 4
SAP GUI 7.3
Thanks!
Nrupal

From where do you want to pass a value dynamically?
Dynamically doesn't mean random right? I should hold some logic receive from..
What I can think of is :
Pass a prompt value from another Webi report and schedule your original report based on event after executing your webi report which is passing the value.

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
