Scheduling 100 Reports via the Precalculation server.

Hi All
We are on BI7 and have a precalculation server.
I need to schedule 100 reports once a month to suppliers, my question is is it best to attach it onto a Process Chain or is it best to schedule them independently.
Thanks in advance.
Regards...BK

You could also use the DataChange event Process type in a process chain.  You add the DataChange process, set a variant value, then schedule your reports to be triggered by the DataChange event.
If you are scheduling 100 reports, you should also know how many precalc servers you have setup in your environment, and know how large the precalc queue is.
SAP doc on precacl server has some sizing info to suggest how many precalc server you might need.  Also review the RSADMIN parameter that can be used to adjust the precalc servers queue size.

  • Issue when Bursting reports via new Precalculation Server

    Hello,
    We are trying to migrate away from our unsupported 720 installation of the SAP Precalculation software to a new Precalculation Server running the latest versions. We’ve overcome a number of issues and we can successfully Broadcast using the new server but we are encountering problems
    with bursting.
    The Bursts have been running successfully on the old 720 server, so we know that the BW side must be fine which suggests the problem is with the Precalculation server. We have been through the Precalculation checklist and the servers appears to have been built successfully. The Precalculation and Business Explorer software has been patched to the latest version and it’s running Excel 2013.
    The main error message we are seeing is “The RPC server is unavailable” HRESULT: 0x800706BA.
    A Screen shot showing the error in RSRD_LOG  is shown in the attached document.
    Below is an extract from the Log of the Precalc server showing this error, just before the RPC Server is unavailable message it states
    Error occured on closing opened workbooks.

  • Error in Scheduling a report via FTP option in WEBI

    Hi,
    I am not able to schedule my report via FTP. Im putting in the details correctly.
    Would like to confirm what value should be mentioned in port, the servers port? and account refers to the user Id on the server ?
    It is giving the following error :
    connection error. [WSA10038]: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]

    Hi Neha,
    This error message may occur due to following causes:
    1. The ftp destination parameters of the relevant Job Server are not set correctly.
    or
    2. The ftp port is blocked.
    Kindly refer SAP Note 1427440 to verify the solution.

  • If Two Users try to schedule a report at the same time does that lead to a Deadlock?

    When Two users trying to access the same server and need to access the report for scheduling at the same time, does that lead to Deadlock Situation?
    What are the Odd's in such scenarios?
    Please help me understanding.
    Regards,
    Shiva

    When two users are say trying to schedule the same report at the same time - the relevant Job server has default capacity of running 5 concurrent jobs at a time (this value can be increased) - that means, it can run 5 schedules at the same time.
    Let's say now two users have scheduled 6 reports - now the 5 reports that were scheduled will be in the "running" state but the server has only 5 concurrent job capacity so the 6th report schedule will stay "pending" until any one of the existing jobs are completed, and then the 6th report will start "running".
    There is nothing called deadlock while scheduling. While viewing the reports, there are enough resources available in the BO system to make the report available for various users at the same time.
    Thank you,  Rahul

  • Accessing Distributed Queue In a Cluster via the Proxy Server

              I am running WL 8.1 SP2. I have a configuration where I have 3 servers (on two
              different machines) running in a cluster. I have a separate server on a 3rd machine
              running the cluster proxy server for a single point of access to the cluster.
              I have configured a distributed queue and a distributed topic, each targeted
              to all servers in the cluster.
              Now I have a JMS client which is a separate java application that is trying to
              connect to the distributed queue and topic in the cluster. If the client connects
              directly to one of the cluster machines, it is able to successfully interact with
              the JMS queue and topic. But if it attempts to connect via the proxy server it
              gets an error saying the queue and topic does not exist.
              So what am I missing? Do I need to configure a separate JMS server on the proxy
              server and add that as part of the distributed queue & topic (this didn't seem
              to allow me to add anything outside of the cluster). Is there any special configuration
              in the proxy to pass through JMS requests? I'm currently using a WL logic server
              as my front-end proxy server but does anything change if I want to use Apache
              with the WL Proxy plug-in??

              One option I have used frequenly is specifying java.naming.provider.url as

  • Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.
    CF

    Hi Christopher,
    Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
    iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
    Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
    For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
    The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
    You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

  • FRM-41213 : Error raised by a form when launching report on the same server

    Hello !
    I get this error FRM-41213 when launching a report via rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product.
    I don't want to set the report server in a var or property into a library or a form cause my app is to be sent to customers who will not have the sources files.
    This app is a migration from an app 10g to 11g.
    In 10g whe hadn't to set the ReportServerURL ... But in 11g it can't be ok if we don't set the server URL (with the URL it's ok)
    The 11g Report server is running on port 9002, and the form server on port 9001 on the same machine. But the two server are accessible by an ohs on port 8888.
    What the f**k ?
    :)

    Hi
    I don't run my reports using rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product but in both 10g and in 11g have always needed to specify the name of the report server.
    We have used different methods for different clients/customers. At times we have stored this name in a table in the application, other times in a pre-defined file on the server which we read using text_io.

  • Schedule a report with the system date imbeded in the file name

    Hello,
    Could anyone tell me how I can schedule a crystal report with the system date imbedded in the file name (FileNameYYYYMMDD) through BOE?  When I scheduled the report through BOE, I gave a file name and selected Attach Date Time, but the file name is coming out slightly differently and with the time imbedded as well (FileNameYYYY-MM-DD-HH-MN I think). Is there a way to change the default system date time format in BOE so that the date stamp comes out the way we want it?
    Thanks!

    %SI_STARTTIME% will add the time the report ran too.
    Adding onlt the date will necessarily have to be done via the appropriate SDK.

  • Use a dynamic list of email addresses to email a report via Business Objects Server 11

    Post Author: wolfgang666
    CA Forum: General
    I use Business Objects Server version 11 to distribute reports via email but was asked if there was a way to only send the reports to those people listed in the report (which changes daily) instead of the entire distribution list. I can create a list of email addresses as a variable within the report but can't find any way to pass it to the Business Objects server "To:" field located in the destination screen. I would expect to see some option for sending to some value located in the report but alas no such option is evident. This seems like a feature the product should be capable of doing as it is so basic. Any other way to do this that anybody can think of? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Matt Frazier

    Hi Alan,
    The simplest thing would be to simply use the Import Wizard to create a BIAR file and then back up the required CR's and instances to the BIAR file. So for instance you would use the "Import Folders and Objects" option. So the source system would be the system you are decomissioning and the Destination would be the BIAR file. Once that is done you can use the BIAR file to import the report content into another system in the future.

    Kind regards,

  • Sending Reporting Services report via the command line

    I would like to either execute a subscription that sends a report via email on demand.  That or just email the report without having to edit the subscription date.  Can this be done from the command line?  I see there is the rs.exe utility
    that allows you to deploy reports and run configuration commands, but I would like to execute and email the report.  Is this possible?

    The easiest way to run a subscription manually is to run the agent job in SQL server that is associated to the subscription.  You'll need to know the subscription ID to do that.  So, you could either run it through SSMS, or if it needs to be in
    command line, interact with SQL Server via command line and do so.
    You can use the ReportService2010 API methods and and powershell script to identify the subscription ID

  • Invoking scheduled/bursted reports via HTTP... documentation?

    Hi all - I am looking for documentation regarding the HTTP "API" for BI Publisher Scheduler. There is an HTTP interface for which I can find no documentation. For instance by POSTing a URL such as http://<site>:<port>/xmlpserver/servlet/scheduler?ujobname=DirectDeliveryReport.xdo&d_printerd_p_gname0=direct&show_conf_page=true&d_method0=d_printer0&job_locale=en_US&save_output=off
    ...you can "schedule" a job for immediate execution and output to a printer.
    This is the method of execution for Oracle SIM 13 and is vaguely described in the SIM 13 Implementation Guide but not apparently in the BIP docs. I am wondering:
    a) what is the API for this web interface? What are the parameters?
    b) can this interface be used for bursting reports? If so it would seem to be a much easier way to schedule burst reports when an external scheduling system is required. More straightforward, like a shell script for Oracle Reports, rather than having to write a Java app to call BIP twice, first to get the XML data, second to burst/deliver that data.

    Hi Tim -
    By 'run now' mode via HTTP, are you referring to a direct call to the XDO or a one-time run via the scheduler servlet? I am not looking to set up a repeating schedule via HTTP, simply to kick off a one-time job with an output destination of email or printer. I cannot find any documentation for the one-time scheduled execution through the scheduler via HTTP. I have searched all the 10.1.3.3.3 docs, the blog, and the message boards for some of those parameters being defined in the SIM URL and there's no mention of them.
    SIM may use some internal logic to construct the URL, but by looking at the SIM, Apache, and BIP log I can see what it's doing. It's a series of GETs and POSTs via HTTP. Using this same logic, I have constructed some PL/SQL (http_utl package) to call BIP in the same fashion from a trigger and it works fine. The HTTP interface that SIM is using certainly seems to be fully-fledged; it seems to have parameters that would allow you to define the output format and destination. I just want to know what they are =)
    All I'm trying to do is automate some of the SIM printing by making it trigger-based rather than GUI-based. If the client wants to, say, autoemail instead of autoprint, I would have no idea how to change the URL params to do this. Secondly, if such a URL could specify that bursting, per the XDO, take place, we can use this HTTP method to invoke BIP from an external scheduler which will be easier for us than using web services.
    Thanks in advance,
    -eric

  • Reports without the web server

    Is is possible to use the Java API without a web server?  To create a new report and export it as a file directly - without viewing it via the web?
    From the API it seems like this is possible, but has anyone used it this way?
    I am fighting through data source connection issues while trying this with a straight JUnit class - and I want to make sure it can be done before spending more time wrestling with connections.
