Scheduling Of BEx Reports

Hello,
Is there a way to schedule a query from BEX to run in the background and get the report saved as Excel?
I'm working on BW 3.5.
I'm bit confused on the scheduling. There are so many Post on SDN suggesting various methods - using Report Agent, RSCRM_BAPI etc.
Can anyone give me which of these methods works and how?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the link for reporting agent.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/28/734d3caa70ea6fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm
The Reporting Agent is a tool used to schedule reporting functions in the background.
The following functions are available:
Evaluating exceptions
Printing queries
Pre-calculating Web templates
Pre-calculating characteristic variables of type pre-calculated value sets.
Pre-calculation of queries for Crystal reports
Managing bookmarks

How can I schedule my Bex report to execute in background

My Bex program takes more than 20 mins to run and it always hangs up my PC especially when I am trying to do something else in EXCEL.
How can I schedule to run the report in background, whether from BEX or anywhere as long as I can get the report output.
Thanks

How to fill the application cache by scheduling a Bex report

Hi Experts,
I have a Query which take about 4 minutes to execute for the first time and when the same query is executed for the 2nd time it takes about just few seconds.
I tried using the broadcasting setting in portal to fill the OLAP cache for this query and executed it manually before executing the query in the morning, The Fill OLAP cache has run successfully but apparently the query executing for the first time takes the same time as it was taking earlier. There is not difference even after introducing the fill OLAP cache setting for this query.
On further analysis I see from the from the "Statistic Data for Query Runtime" that DBTRANS & DBSEL entries are available when the report was executed for the first time, this means the cache is getting filled only when the report is executed for the first time but not through the fill OLAP cache from Portal.
Can any one please let me know is there any other option available to execute the query before any user executes it, so that the entire report is available in the cache and the user doesn't have any complaints of performance. The report is executed only in Analyzer we do not have any web report.
Please provide your valuable input to over come this performance issue.
Thanks

Hi sam
You can broadcaste the report... and fill the cache...
Before setting up the broadcasting settings -- you need to enable the cache property for that particular query or info provider.
you can enable cache using the RSRCACHE or RSRT transaction ...
Check the below LInk
[Performance Optimization of Long Running Queries Using OLAP Cache|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f048c590-31a4-2c10-8599-bd01fabb93d4]

RWI 00200 Error while scheduling the Bex Query based Webi report

Dear All,
I am facing the below error while scheduling the Bex Query based Webi report.
Error:RWI 00200
We are using BO XI 4.0 Sp05.
Please advise

Hi,
I am on BO 4.0 SP05 Patch 6. Webi reports are just showing processing but not giving results. When I try to create new report it is throwing java security error.
Tried applet patch upgrade(From link : https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000902752013E) for webi certificate but didn't help.
Please suggest what could be done.

Bex Report Designer - Large amount of data issue

Hi Experts,
I am trying to execute (on Portal) report made in BEx Report Designer, with about 30 000 pages, and the only thing I am getting is a blank page. Everything works fine at about 3000 pages. Do I need to set something to allow processing such large amount of data?
Regards
Vladimir

Hi Sauro,
I have not seen this behavior, but it has been a while since I tried to send an input schedule that large. I think the last time was on a BPC NW 7.0 SP06 system and it worked OK. If you are on a recent support package, then you should search for relevant notes (none come to mind for me, but searching yourself is always a good idea) and if you don't find one then you should open a support message with SAP, with very specific instructions for recreating the problem from a clean input-schedule.
Good luck,
Ethan

Layout in selection screen of Bex report

Hi Gurus,
I have a report which is needed by many users.
Now each user has a different way to use the report
like SE wise,material wise,payer wise , each with selected key figures.
Now i have one solution that to create a seperate view for each user, but i dont want to maintain number of views.
Again i have to schedule the same report for email to diferent users through Enterprise Portal where Views are not supported
so can i have any other way to meet this requirement
Can we have layout selection in bex report selection screen ( as we have in R/3 reports) ?
( i m using BI 7.0 and EP 6.0)

Hi Sonal,
If you are using EP end, then that can be achieved at there but for the same as u already said that you have to create either views of the query or you have to create seprate query's itself and at the EP end you can define which query you want at Different selection. But at BI end there is as such no option to do so, i mean at query level .
Thanks

Deploy Bex reports in portals

Hi,
I need to integrate BI reports in portals.How to deploy Bex reports in portal.Please can u able to help me out in this issue.
Regards,
Laxmi.

Hi Laxmi,
It can be done by two ways using URL of the query and displaying the query, and using the technical name of the query and assigning to different rooms in the portal. Then schedule the query which automatically generate queries similar to process chain loading timely based.
Also check these links:

Publishing BEx Reports as PDF or Excel Format into a Folder

Hi,
     Current Environment: BW 3.5; Portal:None
    We are currently broadcasting BEx Reports (BW 3.5).
a) Is there a way in which we can publish these reports into a Network directory or a folder of an application server either in the Excel format or PDF Format?
Solutions looked at:
---RSRT allows us to publish in .txt file. There is some amount of work involved in getting it converted into a PDF Format.
--Looked at the solution for the development of wrapper class for Adobe Document services.
    Are there any other solutions? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanking in advance.

Hi,
Here we have a scenario where we are using BO(Business Objects) reports.
All the roports sent to Users and are saved at the local directories.
At the back end BO reports use the BEx query output.
All the reports are scheduled and are fetching data from BW system after the data load completes.
Hope this helps.

Reporting Agent will be only supported in the 3.X runtime in 2004s,start using Bex Broadcaster.Reporting agent is going to be obsolete or is would say.
All the new functionalities will be implemented in Broadcaster only.
Advantage -The old Reporting Agent in BW 3.x could pre-calculate the data of a template and access it through the URL . It could not broadcast queries, workbooks or web templates by email or to KM folders.

How to run a bex report in backround

All,
Could anybody tell me how to schedule a bacround job to run a bex report. It would be great if i could email the results also,
I appreciate any help with points,
Regards,
Mike

A reporting agent (RSREP TC) is replaced by broadcaster in 7.0, but what both do is execute the query in background and put it in cache and you try to access the cache when you execute the web template which is techinically a query.
thanks.

I dont know much details about MDX. But this can be achievable via MDX Queries.
Try the transaction MDXTEST and search for more documents on MDX.

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
