Scheduling a BW report and saving it automatically

Hello,
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to schedule a BW report and save its results as .csv or .xls in either a shared network drive or the bw application server.
Any help will be appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks and Regards

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.

Scheduling a webi report and export the result in PDF on local disk

I'm working with the new SDK to schedule a report and export its result on my local c:\ hard disk drive. My code give no errors at run but I do not find the file on my root.
The Instance counter of the report increase each time, so there is a refresh.
Is something wrong in the following lines? I just follow the examples give in the documentation for scheduling.
Thanks in advance !
Here is my code :
               Destinations oDestinations = Destinations.Factory.newInstance();
               Destination[] oDestination = new Destination[1];
               oDestination[0] = Destination.Factory.newInstance();
               oDestination[0].setName("CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged");
               DiskUnmanagedScheduleOptions diskOptions = DiskUnmanagedScheduleOptions.Factory.newInstance();
               String[] destinationFile = new String[1];
               destinationFile[0] = "c:\\" + report_name + ".pdf";
               DestinationFiles destinationFiles = DestinationFiles.Factory.newInstance();
               destinationFiles.setDestinationFileArray(destinationFile);
               diskOptions.setDestinationFiles(destinationFiles);
               oDestination[0].setDestinationScheduleOptions(diskOptions);
               oDestinations.setDestinationArray(oDestination);
               System.out.println("Getting report...");
               ResponseHolder respons = this.platform.get("path://InfoObjects/<path to report>/" + report_name, null);
               InfoObjects reports = respons.getInfoObjects();
               if (reports == null)
                    return;
               Webi myReport = (Webi)reports.getInfoObjectArray()[0];
               System.out.println("Getting scheduling info...");
               SchedulingInfo schedulingInfo = myReport.getSchedulingInfo();
               boolean newSchedulingInfo = false;
               if (schedulingInfo == null)
                    schedulingInfo = SchedulingInfo.Factory.newInstance();
                    newSchedulingInfo = true;
               System.out.println("Setting scheduling info...");
               schedulingInfo.setRightNow(Boolean.TRUE);
               schedulingInfo.setScheduleType(ScheduleTypeEnum.ONCE);
               schedulingInfo.setDestinations(oDestinations);
               WebiProcessingInfo webiProcessingInfo = myReport.getWebiProcessingInfo();
               if(webiProcessingInfo == null) {
                    webiProcessingInfo = WebiProcessingInfo.Factory.newInstance();
               WebiFormatOptions webiReportFormatOptions = webiProcessingInfo.getWebiFormatOptions();
               if(webiReportFormatOptions == null)
                    webiReportFormatOptions = WebiFormatOptions.Factory.newInstance();
               System.out.println("Setting Format...");
               webiReportFormatOptions.setFormat(WebiFormatEnum.PDF);

               System.out.println("Schedule...");
               this.platform.schedule(reports);
               System.out.println("Schedule done...");

Hi Jerome,
I have gon ethrough your code again and there we are missing the destination plugin.
We have to query the info store to get the disk unmanaged plugin.
Below is the code
IDestinationPlugin destPlugin = null; //Destination plugin returned by InfoStore Query
        IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = null; //Object returned by the getSchedulingOptions() method
        List listDestination = null; //List object to hold destination file location
        IDestination destination = null; //Destination Interface
        //retrieve the Scheduling Options and cast it as IDiskUnmanagedOptions
        //This interface is the one which allows us to add the file location
        //for the scheduling
          for(int i = 0; i< oInfoObjects.getResultSize();i++)
           oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(i);
           destPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)iStore.query( "SELECT * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PARENTID=29 and SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
          diskUnmanagedOptions = (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
        listDestination = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
          String dest = "c:\\";
        listDestination.add (dest + oInfoObject.getTitle()+".pdf");
          schedInfo = oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo();
        schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
        schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
        //retrieve the IDestination interface from the SchedulingInfo object
        //use the setFromPlugin() to apply the changes we made to the
        //IDestinationPlugin object returned from the IStore
        destination = schedInfo.getDestination();
        destination.setFromPlugin(destPlugin);
          iStore.schedule(oInfoObjects);

Scheduling of Discoverer Reports and emailing output to multiple recipients

Hi,
Is is possible using Oracle Discoverer Server (Plus and Viewer) version 10.1.2 to schedule workbooks and then have the output of the scheduled workbooks emailed to multiple email recipients at the time the scheduled report completes?
Kind regards,
Leigh.

hi,
Within the discoverer tool there is no functional sulotion to email scheduled reports.
This issue came up several times in the past to this forum,
the solution is to use a third party tool that once the scheuled run is completed the third party tool will collect the output file and mail it.
the workaround is described in MOS [ID 373812.1] How to Schedule Reports to Run at a Specific Time and Automatically E-mail The Output

Scheduled BEX Broadcaster reports does not work automatically after BW 7.3 upgrade

Hello,
We recently upgraded our BW system from 7.0 to 7.31
Since then broadcasting reports has been inconsistent. Not all the reports are broadcasted.
Some reports of object type Query has been scheduled to run everyday but I don't see that in released status in SM37.
Some WAD templates throws an error that states " JAVA SYSTEM ERROR : EXCEPTION in method process function"
WAD reports also flags this warning : "Transformation Exception while transforming BEX web templates" in all the reports.
System Version:
BI ABAP 7.31 SP11
BI JAVA 7.00 SPS 30 Patch.
Most of the suggested SAP Notes are covered in this release.
SAP suggests to upgrade BI JAVA. But we are looking for a quick fix since JAVA upgrade has to go through a process and that's time consuming.
Appreciate your suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Nithya.

Hi,
Please have a look to the Blog - BI-JAVA, BEx Web and EP: the real connection to resolve your Problems after the Upgrade to 7.31.
There a quite massive differences between BI-JAVA 7.0x and 7.3x.
See also the Section BEx Web Java 7.3x in the SCN Document - BEx Versions 3.5 and 7.x after Upgrade

Schedule ME2L in background and send output to email address

Hi,
Our Client has a requirement to schedule ME2L (particular variant) in background.
The report should run every day in background and output should get emailed to particular email address.
Any ideas??? Pleae let me know.

Thanks for the information. Very useful.
I am just facing one road block at the moment.
I am now able to schedule the ME2L Report and email it as attachment.
But, we have created a particular layout for this report, which we want should get emailed.
But when we schedule the report in the background (or run it in background manually), it only picks the standard layout!
I cannot find any layout option in ME2L Selection Screen as well. (I could have saved it in the variant then)
Can you help?

Automatic scheduling of report and send the output to user via email

Good Morning,
Please i need to scheduled report and send the output via email in Discoverer . Please can someone assist in how to achieve this ?

Hi,
You cannot schedule and email a Discoverer report using standard Discoverer scheduling. You have to use a third party scheduler and Discoverer Desktop running on a windows PC.
This presentation has some more details on how to do this.

E-Mail Summary Report and Detailed Report Automatically

Hi, I have just started a new job (1st IT job since leaving college) and I've been told that our Small Business Server 2011 used to email a Summary Report directly to a specified email address, as well as a weekly Detailed Report to the same email address,
but that has stopped sending reports now. How do i make sure that the reports are automatically generated and sent out via email to the specified address. Any help would be great.

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that there some issue occurred in Report feature in the SBS 2011.
On current situation, please refer to following steps and troubleshoot this issue. Then check if can help you.
1. Login the SBS server. Please open Windows SBS Console and select
Reports tab. In the Reports panel, select a report (Summary or Detailed), then View report properties. In Report Properties page, please select
E-Mail Options to check if had added the correct user account or e-mail address. Also please select Schedule tab, and check if had configured correctly.
2. Then manually click
Generate report option in Tasks. Please check if successfully generated the report. If not, please refer to following TechNet article and repair Monitoring and Reporting features in the SBS server. Then monitor the result.
Repair Monitoring and Reporting Features
in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard
3. If generated the report successfully, please manually click
Generate report and e-mail report option in Tasks. Then check if run successfully. Or any error message occurred?
4. If this issue still exists, please refer to following path: C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Logs\MonitoringServiceLogs and check if there has some log files
which be related to Report (Summary or Detailed). If has, please check if can find some more clues. Meanwhile, please open Event Viewer and check if find some relevant errors. Those may hope us to go further analyze.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Information Broadcasting ( Automatically execute a report and e-mail it)

Hi,

I have tried configuring it in HTML format.... but I need it EXCEL format.
Waiting for help from the SDN community...
Thanks in Advance.....

Hi,
You can send the workbook automatically when you schedule thru information broadcaster.
But you have to install precalculation server for distributing workbook..
Have a look at OSS note 760775 ..
Hope it helps..

Scheduling Discoverer Report and distributing Discoverer Report Output

Hi,
We are using discoverer (Along with Oracle HCM R12) and would like the END USER to schedule the reports by themselves.
There is an option to schedule the report, and also an option to share it to chosen users/ responsibilities.
We scheduled one report and also set the sharing option to share with others but it seems the report executes but doesn't get sent out by email to the END USER's email id.
Any ideas / thought on this please?
NB: We are looking to distribute Discoverer Report Output from scheduled Discoverer reports...not looking to share the report with other users/ responsibilities.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.
