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

  • Scheduling a webi report with no access to univ. connection

    Hi,
    I have a user in BO enterprise, who has access to a report, but no access to the universe & universe connection.
    So ideally, the expected behavior is that, when the user schedules the report, the schedule should fail.
    When I do a schedule, by clicking on the prompts, and modify, it throws me an error that the Universe and universe connection are not accessible.
    But when I schedule the report, with all default settings (without modifying the prompt values), it schedules, and shows a Success status. (Though the report shows blank data)
    Has anyone observed this before? Any info on this would be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The use-case is:
    - An administrator creates a new user (by default belongs to Everyone group) and provides access to a particular report including the scheduling privileges
    - The Everyone group does not have access for the Universe or the Connection
    - When this user runs the report (View on Demand) and refreshes the data (via the Refresh Data button), the error is thrown stating that the universe is not found/not accessible.
    - When scheduling the same report, we see different behaviors (one of the prompt option happens to be a List of Values:
        - Changing the prompt values - Clicking the modify button on the parameters page and trying to select a value for the LoV prompt throws me the Universe not found/accessible error (which is correct as the concerned user does not have access to the universe or the connection)
        - With default prompt values (i.e. not changing any of the prompt values in the parameters page) - This shows that the schedule was successful and when i open the instance, it shows me blank report - The question here is, why would the schedule succeed when the user does not have the access to the universe/connection?
    Thanks -

  • Ho can I schedule a WEBI report with dynamic parameters???

    Hello again!!
    Here i am with another detail about scheduling, the thing this time is that ia need to schedule a report with one parameter every week but with a different value for the parameter every week.
    This is i need this week to run the report SALES BY STORE filtered by week with this value 2011 - 45 (yyyy - num ofweek) but the next week the value for the same parameter must be 2011 - 46
    is it possible??? i mean is possible to schedule a report with different value for the parameter each time that it runs???
    I know that i can schedule a report with different values for a parameter to send it to severals users whith different data but the values for the parameter are the same every time that it runs and i dont need that.
    Any help or clue will be very appreciated

    Hi Elio,
    Do you have access to modify your universe?
    Then you should try Dave Rathbun's idea. Here is the link:
    http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts/
    Note that you'll have to adapt it to what you need, in this case to the week number.
    For example if you are using Sybase syntax you'd get 2011 - 46 with:
    convert(varchar, year(getdate()))+' - '+convert(varchar, datepart(wk,getdate()))
    So you'll new object in Universe would look like :
    your_table.week = case when @prompt('Enter week','C',,mono,free) = 'This week' then convert(varchar, year(getdate()))+' - '+convert(varchar, datepart(wk,getdate()))  else @prompt('Enter week','C',,mono,free)  end
    Adapt it to the syntax of the database you use. Then after creating this object in your universe you'll have to go back to your report and Edit the query and use this object in the filter area instead of  a normal prompt.
    When you have to schedule the report leave the prompt with the parameter 'This week'
    Hope this helps

  • Multiple scheduling for same reports (with different prompt)

    Hi,
    I have to plan the scheduling of 10 reports (refresh and then .pdf generating). But i have to refresh these reports for 15 countries each time (prompt different between each instance).
    So it will be 10*15=150 refresh done on the database !! Is it possible to make a 'massive' refresh (for all countries) and only filter by country when generated the input format (.pdf) ?
    What is the best practice ?

  • Scheduling WEBI reports with API

    Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
    Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
    This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
    Regards,
    Emiel

    Hi
            What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .

  • 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

  • Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

    Hi all,
    i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
    into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
    to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
    Now my Question :
    Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
    a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
    Many Thanks in advance for your Help.

    We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?

  • Creating an Exception Report with a Prompt

    All,
    Having difficulties with this report, and I wanted to see if I'm trying to make it do too much.
    Report: Opportunities Exception Report
    Prompt: List of exceptions we are tracking (ie...Custom Field #1 not populated, Source not populated, etc).
    I tried to combine criteria to account for each exception (since each exception is based on a seperate field), but doing so prevents me from then adding a Prompt. I have also created individual reports to account for each exception. I'm wondering what the best approach would be to achieve the results I need?
    Is it possible to:
    1. Combine all individual exception reports (all have same columns, with first column hard-coded to identify which exception type that report contains) into one master exception report, with a prompt on the column that lists the exception type?
    2. Create a prompt to a master report that, when selected, applies exception criteria that is appropriate for what is chosen from the Prompt?
    3. Somehow work with a Master that that has all the exceptions built into the combined criteria, but still gives a Prompt to select which criteria you're wanting to see?
    Thanks in advance for any/all help.
    Regards,
    JT

    Mike,
    Thanks for your response. Looking at the suggestions you gave, the first two wouldn't work for this scenario because of what it is we're trying to do. Essentially, we're just trying to find the missing pieces of data that the Sales Team didn't enter in on an Opportunity. So every report is going to be like this:
    1. Show me ALL Opportunities that do not have field 1 populated. (Exception Type 1)
    2. Show me ALL Opportunities that do not have field 2 populated. (Exception Type 2)
    3. Show me ALL Opportunities that do not have field 3 populated. (Exception Type 3)
    The report with combined analysis worked great in putting these exceptions into one report, but you're limited in what you can do with it.
    I've toyed with the pivot table, but if have a drop down list of the exception types, can I then change the filter of the complete Opportunity list to be the just the one you select?
    Thanks again for your response,
    JT

    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.
