Scheduling a document

Hello,
I am trying to schedule a document and save it on server local drive. Works fine! But if i try to save it over the network it comes back with an error, saying that "Bad user name or password". I tried all combination and it does not work. Strange thing is if i map a drive through a "Map network drive option" on the server to the remote server where i want to save the file, it goes through perfectly(with the same username and password). But when i try through CMS, it fails. Also, one thing i noticed in the Schedule/Destination screen in CMS, on "Logon as user (optional)" text box, when i type the user id and password and click on update, if the password is say 10 characters, on click of update, it refreshes the screen and shows only 7. I am wondering this could be the problem as it can not get the right password. How to avoid if this is the case or any other suggestion will be much appreciated
Thanks,
Anand

What version of BOE/CRS is this? What OS are you on?
If this is BOE/CRS XI R1/R2 (and the os is Windows), the account the server runs under is in the Properties tab of the server (when you look at the server properties). i.e. Right click the server in CCM >> Properties >> Log On As.
If this is BOE XI 3.x, it is the account the SIA runs under.
By default, when the OS is Windows, the services run under the Local System Account. As Caroline mentioned, the service(s) will need to run under a domain account with write access to a network drive to be able to schedule the same.

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once.
The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:

Schedule webi document to printer and save the output in shared drive

Hi all,
Is it possible to schedule a webi document via java BOE SDK, run at once, save the output in pdf format in a shared drive and at the same time, send the output to printer? Or I need to run the webi document to run 2 times? Thanks.
Best regards,
Grace

Hi Adam,
How about can I schedule a webi document to printer only? In Crystal report, I can do this but seems for webi, no such function?
Best regards,
Grace

Auditing for scheduling WebI documents

We'd like to audit the scheduling of WebI documents. Which auditing option do we enable so that we can tell when a scheduled document was successful?
We're using XI 3.1.
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Ashwini,
That's what I thought, but we tried it and it's not working. That is, after we enabled auditing "Scheduling Succeeded," I scheduled a job. The audit data showed an action of "Document Refreshed" but not "Scheduling Succeeded."
Anybody have an ideas about why it's not working?
Thanks,
Laura

Schedule a document / Embedded Document Content

Hello,
When I try to schedule document and send it to an email destination, I can add different placeholders into the body of the message. One of this placeholder is "Embedded Document Content". Do you know what is this functionnality?
When I add this placeholder, the result in the mail is "%SI_DOCUMENT_HTML_CONTENT%". It seems that this variable is not interpreted. Do you know what is this variable ? Do you know how to define it ?

I would advise you raise an incident with support, and mention Technical Escalation 5000011318.
It seems to be a known issue.

ME2L Delivery Schedule Showing Fully Delivered Lines

Hey,
We are experiencing this issue on a SAP 4.7c system that we support.
Our business are trying to generate a report, every month, that is sent to vendors, of all the purchase orders that the business are expecting them to fill. To do this the business user uses ME2L report per vendor, only selecting the Schedule Agreements documents, hitting the calendar button (Delivery Schedule), exporting the resulting output to Excel, using a formula to identify the lines which have a GR value less than the Scheduled Qty value and sending these onto the vendor as a notification to the that these are the orders that the business have marked as outstanding.
The issue arose when the business cancelled lines on Scheduling Agreement 5500000073 by going into MD04 and deleting the requirement for vendor 5033760 and reassigned those requirements to a new Agreement 5500000053 for vendor 5000259.
However when you run the process above the deleted lines still show up on the report and you believe this should not be the case and never was the case.
What process to accurately identify on SAP, schedule line items, that have not being fully Goods Receipted and/or cancelled so they can be sent to the vendor?
Many thanks for any help,
Colm

Hi Jurgen,
Apologies for the delay, I was away on leave.
We use selection parameters WE101 and that correctly brings us back only open orders on the selection screen, however when we click the Delivery Schedule button it displays lines that have been fully Goods Receipted.
For example, if I have a PO with 3 lines, Lines 1 and 3 have been fully received and line 2 has only been partly received.
I run ME2L with the selection parameter WE101 and the report only displays line 2. Which is correct.
However when I click the delivery schedule button I will be shown the entire history of that line, including scheduled quantites that were fully goods receipted.
What I would like to see is only lines where the scheduled quantity is greater than the goods receipted quantity.
I hope this makes sense, thanks for your help,
Regards,
Colm

venkat
Edited by: K.Venkata Chalapathi on Jan 30, 2009 9:10 AM

Dear Venkat,
Price will get determine in the sales order based on two settings
1.Pricing procedure determination
2.Condition record maintanence.
This may happen for two reasons
1.Different pricing procedures are getting determined for sales order and scheduling agreement.
One pricing procedure may have variant condition type and other pricing procedure may not have the variant condition type.
So check same pricing procedure is getting determine in the both documents or not
2.Condition record may not maintained for the scheduling agreement document type in VK11
So check the condition record maintanence for the variant condition type through VK13 transaction.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Webi scheduling error in BO 4.0 SP04 after security patch updates in windows server 2008 R2

We are getting below error in BO 4.0 SP04 Web Intelligence report scheduling after security patch updates in windows server 2008 R2
while trying to invoke the method com.businessobjects.sdk.core.server.IServer.getServerContext() of an object returned from com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.impl.services.DocumentInstanceManagementServiceImpl.getServer(com.businessobjects.sdk.core.context.IContext, com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.model.engine.IDocumentInstance)
We have reverted back security patch but still giving above scheduling problem in BO 4.0 SP04 WebI and we can view and refresh report.
Is there any way to fix the scheduling problem in BO 4.0 SP04 WebI?

Scheduling Agreement - Automatic Release Individual Schedule Lines

Dear all.
I've create a "LPA" scheduling Agreement and its release type is "JIT". So, I use to ME38 to maintain the individual JIT delivery schedule lines.
The problem I have is this method requires the person to manually release each individual delivery schedule line document on the due date before GR is allowed. Hence, is there a SAP system function that can automatically release any due delivery schedule line document without having to manually track and release using ME38 each day/week/month?
Thanks.
Steven

Hello
use t.code ME84 then system release the sch.lines automatically those maintained with me38.

BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN throws error for time- independent scheduling agreement

Hi All,
I get the below error while modifying a stock transport Scheduling agreement in UI5 using BAPI “BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN”
“Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported”
Found a note 1046794-
"BAPI_SAG_CHANGE (and BAPI_SAG_CREATE) can only treat scheduling agreements with time-dependent conditions. Document conditions are not supported. Therefore, this kind of scheduling agreements cannot be processed. This is a missing functionality”
To meet some finance requirements, we need to use time-independent conditions in the scheduling sgreement, in order for a custom condition type to be picked up.
I'd appreciate any advice I can get about how to fix this functionality in the BAPI or alternatively how to link the pricing condition type to the Scheduling agreement document type?
Thanks so much.

Link between Time dependent / independent condition and Scheduling agreement document type is in configuration under SPRO>MM>PURCHASING>SCHEDULING AGREEMENT>DEFINE DOCUMENT TYPES>SCROLL TO THE RIGHT here you find a check box Time-D.C.
Thanks

360View schedule ok, but user can't

BOXI 3.0
In Infoview a normal user can't schedule a webi report, although in 360View the user can schedule the document and can add documents to the map.
The following error occurs:
An error has occurred: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Add objects to the folder' (ID: 1) for '' (ID: 49). Please contact your administrator if you require this right.
The same error occurs when the user tries to modify it's preferences in infoview.
An administrator can do both.
What else can it be than user rights or other suggestions?

Has an answer for this appeared? I'm having the same exact issue in XI 3.1.

Schedule a Webi XIR2 report to run for all values of the prompt ...

Hi there,
Any ideea about if it's possible to schedule a Web Intelligence XIR2 report to automatically run for all 150 different prompt values in the LOV (and have 150 different instances)?
BOXIR2, Java deployment.
Many thanks.

You'd be scheduling the document 150 different times, each for one value of the LOV.
You'd use the ReportEngine (REBean) SDK to read the LOV values, then use the Enterprise SDK to schedule.
Here's a bit of code that illustrates how to schedule a Webi doc a single time with specified prompts. You'd do something similar, but iterate the prompt setting and scheduling:
    IInfoStore iStore = (IInfoStore) eSession.getService("InfoStore");
    ReportEngine reportEngine = ((ReportEngines) eSession.getService("ReportEngines"))
                                    .getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
    IInfoObjects objs = iStore.query("Select TOP 1 * From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where "
                                      + " SI_KIND='Webi' And SI_INSTANCE=0 "
                                      + " And SI_NAME = '" + reportName + "'");
    //============================================================================
    // Open Webi document, then get and set Prompts collection
    //============================================================================
    IWebi            webi    = (IWebi) objs.get(0);
    DocumentInstance di      = reportEngine.openDocument(webi.getID());
    Prompts          prompts = di.getPrompts();
    for(int i = 0, m = prompts.getCount() ; i < m ; i++) {
        Prompt prompt = prompts.getItem(i);
        String name   = prompt.getName();
        if("Enter value(s) for State:".equals(name)) {
            Lov lov = prompt.getLOV();
            lov.refresh();
            Values values = lov.getAllValues();
            prompt.enterValues(new ValueFromLov[] { values.getValueFromLov(0),
                                                    values.getValueFromLov(1)});
        } else if ("Enter Shop Id:".equals(name)) {
            prompt.enterValues(new String[] { "261" });
    //===========================================================================
    // Copy prompts over to InfoObject
    //===========================================================================
    PromptsUtil.populateWebiPrompts(prompts, webi);
    //===========================================================================
    // Schedule Webi report to run once now
    //===========================================================================
    webi.getWebiFormatOptions().setFormat(IWebiFormatOptions.CeWebiFormat.Webi);
    ISchedulingInfo schedInfo = webi.getSchedulingInfo();
    schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
    schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
    iStore.schedule(objs);

Desktop Publisher Scheduled Report Limits

Post Author: bicknell
CA Forum: crystalreports.com
Using the crystalreports.com desktop publisher, a customer scheduled the upload of 80+ reports to crystalreports.com on a dailybasis. Some of the jobs were failing and others seemed like they were being run continuously. There are two significant points to know about the desktop publisher:When the desktop publisher uploads a file to crystalreports.com, the program needs to logon to crystalreports.com using your crystalreports.com user account. The site only allows 10 concurrent logons for the same account at any one time. This effectively limits you to scheduling 10 documents at any one time.If you are refreshing these reports before they are uploaded, the number of concurrent refreshes will be limited by the resources of your computer. It is a fairly expensive process in terms of memory and CPU time, especially if you have a large number of records in each report. We've had another customer report that they could only actually refresh about 10 reports at a time before they started getting failures. This could be a combination of report size/complexity and the processing power of your computer. Note: The ODC and SFDC connector are designed to handle much bigger tasks than the desktop publisher. The desktop publisher is designed for lightweight loads not exceeding 10 connections.

Hi JD,
I'm not sure about the "unable to connect to the file" error you are seeing. Can you post the exact wording of the error and where you are seeing it? If you can post a screen shot of the error, that would be great. If you change the file name of the rpt on your hard drive, the task won't be able to find it the next time it runs. Could that be the problem?
You should be able to create a task in the desktop publisher, point it to a report and schedule it - at that time, it will prompt you for the db logon and parameter values. Once you have supplied that info, the task will run according to whatever recurrence pattern you have set - daily, weekly, whatever. Each time the task runs, it will try to refresh the rpt file with the db logon and parameter values you specified and upload the rpt file to crystalreports.com.
You should always be able to open the rpt file in Crystal Reports, however I have seen a problem where the rpt file gets corrupted if you run out of disk space when the report is being saved after the refresh. The error we got from this though was that the rpt file had been corrupted. I don't think it complained about not being an rpt file.
Yes, you should be able to use a salesforce.com db connection and you should be able to configure the desktop publisher task to run every 30 minutes.
Yes, if you do edit the rpt file you should see the changes the next time the task runs. We have found problems where you will get an error on uploading to cr.com using the overwrite option if the rpt file has been changed "too much". Most often this only applies to the db connection changing too much. If you are just editing the report layout, that should be fine.

Restrict pricing in scheduling agreement.

Dear friends,
I have created a scheduling agreement with referent to an RFQ. Since the quoted rate is already approved by the management, the user who are creating the scheduling agreement should not change the rate.
For this purpose, I have made the price field in the item level as 'Inactive' through field reference customisation.
But the problem is that, the user can do the changes in prices by clicking on the conditions icon, and there they can add, change any conditions and rates.
Can you please tell me how can we restrict these condition rates and restrict the user from adding new condition types.
Thanks,
Harikrishnan.

Dear Venkat,
Price will get determine in the sales order based on two settings
1.Pricing procedure determination
2.Condition record maintanence.
This may happen for two reasons
1.Different pricing procedures are getting determined for sales order and scheduling agreement.
One pricing procedure may have variant condition type and other pricing procedure may not have the variant condition type.
So check same pricing procedure is getting determine in the both documents or not
2.Condition record may not maintained for the scheduling agreement document type in VK11
So check the condition record maintanence for the variant condition type through VK13 transaction.
I hope this will help you,

BOM not copied to sch. line in Sub Contract scheduling agreement in Kanban.

Hi,
We are trying to procure material (A) via subcontract scheduling agreement document using Kanban process. This subcontract material has a valid BOM (say it has child materials B & C). We are working with 'Replenishment element for kanban' model (not JIT call).
When Kanban bins status is changed to empty, a schedule line is placed in the subcontract scheduling agreement. But when we try to view the BOM of the schedule line created (Item -> components -> overview), we dont find any child material (B&C) attached to it. Hence when Kanban bin was changed from RED to GREEN, material movement 101 takes place for parent material (A) but 543 (consumption of child materials) is not happening for child materials (B &C).
Mean while, we created some schedule lines manually in aforementioned SC sch.agreement. When we view the BOM of this manually created schedule line, we can see the child materials attached to it. Hence when bin status was changed from RED to GREEN, both 101 & 543 movements were posted.
Can anyone let us know what needs to be done so that when Kanban bin is changed to EMPTY, it places schedule line in SC sch.agreement along with its BOM (Child material) details?
Warm regards,
Saravana.

Dear Ashok,
Issue: how to make BOM field(Component Part) in PO/ SA field non editable in MM customising. After the PO is saved user can not able to edit the component field in PO or Scheduling Agrreement.
BOM field ( component Part ) is directly dependent on quantiyu of material entered. so once you change the PO quantity the component quanity wil change accordingle,
presently you can not achievev thease
but You can set the release strategy like that Po that it is not changable, doing so u r requirement willl achieve
Hope your query is resolved
