Scheduling question?

Hi All,
Can we schedule a report on hourly basis with the a particular time in a day?
For example i want to schedule a report daily from 8 AM to 8 PM on a hourly basis.
Thanks..

Can you give more detail. I don't think you can, but it may depend on the version. The start and end time in the hourly component of the schedlue dictate schedules lifetime.
Some alternative approaches
You could create 12 daily schedules each with the start time set an hour apart
You could also look at an hourly schedule in conjunction with a program job and schedule event. The program job would only succeed between the hours of 8:00am and 8:00pm. The schedule event would be fired on success and the report would be scheduled to run hourlty when the event is fired.
Regards

BI Publisher report scheduler questions

Question 1: Is there a way to cancel a scheduled report? I have users that scheduled reports in BI Publisher but these reports take too long to run that the users decide to cancel it. It seems that there is not an option to do this. I have admin rights, so I think that I should be able to do this but I don't see any option. If there is a way to do this can someone please explain how.
Question 2: If a scheduled report is running while the BI Publisher application is re-started, can the status of the report be changed from 'C' to 'F' in the xmlp_sched_ouput schema? During the development of an application that uses the scheduler from BI Publisher, we have re-started BI Publisher application serveral times while a scheduled report is running. When we query BI Publisher schema, we can see that the status of the report that was running before the application is re-started keeps showing 'C' (for current). How we can change this status? Is there any configuration that I need to change to for the change to be automatic?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try like this. Make sure your BIP parameter name and Presentation variable name matches; i assume Region
SELECT distinct REF_REGION_CODE
FROM REGION
WHERE REF_REGION_CODE BETWEEN '01' AND '10'
and (LEAST(:Region) is null OR
REF_REGION_CODE LIKE (CASE WHEN :Region='' THEN '%%' ELSE :Region END)
or
REF_REGION_CODE = substr(:Region,1,2) )
SELECT distinct REF_REGION_CODE
FROM REGION
WHERE REF_REGION_CODE BETWEEN '01' AND '10'
and (LEAST(:Region) is null OR
REF_REGION_CODE LIKE (CASE WHEN :Region{}='' THEN '%%' ELSE :Region END)
or
REF_REGION_CODE = substr(:Region,1,2) )
If this is not working try to tweak with single quotes for Region

Skillbuilders Plug In-Schedule Question?

Hi,
I have a question regarding the Schedule Plug In. It is a good demo. But I have no clue how to write the SQL to extract the data of Start Date, End date, Duration Seconds and Calendar Summary (From API function). I have tried to use action - compute but the field of schedule concatenate together.
Schedule: 201303150900|201303151100|7200|FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;
The demo suggests us to use that SQL statement but it does not work?
SELECT NVL(evts.title,'No Title Specified') AS display,
dts.column_value
FROM events evts,
TABLE(sbip_schedule.dates(schedule)) dts
WHERE evts.id = :P1_EVENT_ID
Do you have any clue?
Thanks!

The point is I do not know what are the specific field names inside the API Plug in schedule? Any idea?

Job Scheduling question

If I request a ob to be scheduled with the command:
dbms_job.submit()
How can I monitor the status of the job
Which table do I need to perform a select on ?
Thanks

You can answer any question about the dictionary views by issuing
select *
from dict
where table_name like '%'||upper('&keyword')||'%'
in your case 'job'
This should result in dba_jobs, dba_jobs_running and user_jobs

Bex Broadcasting Scheduling Questions

I am scheduling workbooks for Broadcasting. There is an option for "Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider. I would like to use this option along with a Direct Scheduling in the background Process option.
First - Is that possible?
What I want to achieve is the make sure my broadcast only run after the infoprovider is up to date and not have all the broadcast kick off at the same time (don't want to run out of background processes).
Second Question - If I can choose both options, what happens when the infoProvider is not up to date (load failures) and the time specified in the schedule has past?

Steve - I just replied to another post with how we handle it
This works if you have control over the naming of the broadcast settings
Create broadcast settings with a naming convention - ie ya12, ya13, yb12, yc12
Do not schedule these
The ya, yb, yc will be used for multi threading
Go to program RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH and set up three variants with wild cards
ya*
yb*
yc*
Then in your process chain on successful completion call the abap with the variant 1, then variant 2 etc
In addition you can set the broadcast to run in serial processing if you wish with the settings in RSBATCH and process BROADCAST

LWAP Template Scheduler Question

Hello,
I have two questions about LWAP templates and creating a schedule to 'audit' their settings.
First, when you create a scheduled task to run, and you add APs, will it run the 'Select APs' portion of the task each time? Or, does the list of APs have to stay static?
Second, if it runs the query each time for the selected APs to apply the template to; can you create a search with a wildcard?
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
HA Template WLC1>2
HA Template WLC2>1
APs with name MMM-FFF-* get template WLC1>2
APs with name NNN-GGG-* get template WLC2>1
*=wildcard
To dive further I would also like to have a seperate template for APs named: NNN-GGG-*-OAP-* (this would be template WLC3>4)
I hope this makes sense.....

Hi Todd
We have no way of knowing that there is no data until we run the report. I can not currently think of a way we could possibly do this w/o executing the extract?
We have report sets coming in a later release where you could chain two reports together - if there is no data found in the first then the second could be stopped but thats a little ways out yet.

Simple Scheduling Question

I have a report that takes always Sunday date parameter. If I schedule the report to run every Wednesday with the previous Sunday date parameter, will the date parameter automatically update every week? I am hoping it does. If it does not, how does one go about getting the date parameter to update automatically?
Thanks in advance.

HareshM,
To answer your question, I don't think BI Pub can do this.
I have 2 ideas for you:
1) Modify your SQL so that you can either pass in a date or not. This way the users can pass in a date they choose from the calendar popup window. In the scheduled screen, schedule the report without any date value.
Example SQL:
SELECT *
FROM table x
WHERE ((:p_date IS NOT NULL AND
TRUNC(x.date) = TRUNC(:p_date)) OR
(:p_date IS NULL AND
TRUNC(x.date) = TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'DAY')))
2) If you want the flexibility for your users to pick any date from the popup calendar, then have this date passed to your SQL so that your SQL will use the previous Sunday from this passed in date and the ability to have this same exact report run atuomatically every Wednesday, then this is my idea:
Create 2 reports that are exactly the same. Allow the users to "see" 1 of the 2 reports so they can pass in any date they want. Do not allow the users to "see" the other report. Modify the WHERE clause in the SQL in this 2nd report to programmically select Sunday based off of SYSDATE. Schedule this report to run every Wednesday.
Personally, I like idea #1 above. "Simple is best".
Good luck,
James

Basic Instance Scheduling Question

I scheduled a report to be run at 5 am everyday within the CR Server CMC.

I am new to this. Please help.

Webview Job Scheduler Questions

If you schedule a report to run in Webview - does the user have to be logged in to Webview for the report to run?
Also - where do the reports actaully go?
We are taking on a new business that wants some webview reports shceudled to run and dump to a location so they can grab them and import them into their own reporting database/dashboards.
I know we have another customer that has something similar setup - but it was done by a 3rd party contractor before I was on the team.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ronnie,
Couple of things to note:
Webview Job Scheduler uses Windows Task Scheduler to schedule reports
As such, PC needs to remain on and the user who scheduled the job must be logged into WebView at the time the job is scheduled to be run (also needs to remain logged in if you are exporting to file and the drive you are exporting to is a mapped drive)
User who is scheduling the reports needs to be an administrator of the machine they are scheduling from in order to create the Scheduled Tasks
When you output locally to a drive letter. It automatically goes into a Drive:\Job_Scheduler\ directory
Hope that helps. The requirement for local admin rights is a real pain as usually in most environments it's end business users who are trying to do this and IT departments don't like giving them local admin rights to their PCs...
Cheers,
Nathan

Another scheduling question (using DBMS_JOBS)

Let's say I have a procedure do_task(text IN VARCHAR2, retry_count IN PLS_INTEGER)
I want to schedule a job to run this procedure every N minutes, each time decreasing retry_count by one. When the procedure succeeds in its task or is run with retry_count=0, the job should be killed.
So initially I might do:
DECLARE
string VARCHAR2;
job_no NUMBER;
BEGIN
string:= 'do_task(' || text || ', 8);'
DBMS_JOBS.submit(job_no,string,SYSDATE,'SYSDATE+5/(24*60)');
COMMIT;
END;
Does all this seem normal? The other way is to have a database table recording this stuff but I don't want tables if not required. And how can a job know its own id to adjust itself?

Actually I think I can instead use DBA_JOBS.FAILURES to see the number of retries. I think this is incremented each time the job becomes broken? The thing I can't find is how the scheduler decides whether a job has become broken? If my job's execution fails can I prevent the job being broken (so it doesn't stop being repeated), and manually update the FAILURES field?

Scheduling question for information broadcasting

I am confusing between 2 options In information broadcast.
1) executation at pre-defined time
2) direct scheduling at background processing
I have no idea what is the different of each.
I read the sap help but it still does not make clear to me

HI,
In BI 7 we have various options..
If you have Java Stack in BI server then it will use Portal and then there you can configure the settings, you need to give one technical name and then schedule the same.
We faced the problem, in my system there is no Java Stack so we used BW 3.5 WAD in BI 7 system and then in WAD we configured the Broadcasting settings and saved with one Technical name then used RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER program and create Varient for "Broadcasting settings and saved with one Technical name " and in PC after Cube load we given this Program with Varianet , so once dataloads will happen the reports will distributes.
Thanks

Java Event Timing / Scheduling Question

Hi everyone,
Looking for some pointers in the right direction. I'm writing a program that controls a hardware device to operate outputs at specific times in a timeline defined by the user. The delays between events are not regular and may vary from 1/10th of a second to several seconds or even minutes apart. I was wondering what the best way to implement the timing / event handling component of my program might be?
I was thinking of storing the timings in an array, and then sequentially looping through that array and passing each time delay to one java.util.Timer object, and then firing the appropriate event for each, and then loading in the next time delay and so-on until all events have been fired.
Is there a better way?
Richard.

The delays will never be less than 1/10th of a
second, and very unlikely to be more than a couple of
minutes. Are there any problems passing very large
delays (say an hour as an extreme example) to
Thread.Sleep()?No, that's not a problem.
>
I could possibly load my timing data and other event
parameters into a result set. (Thinking of storing
each sequence as a series of database records).
To answer your question, the user specifies each
delay individually. Say event one must fire at 0
seconds, the next at 3.7, the next at 6.2 seconds,
and so-on.So that is 3.7 seconds after the start, or is it 3.7 seconds after the previous event was fired?

Report scheduling question

I have a couple of ARD users who would like to schedule reporting to their own machines.
Although they are ARD admins, they are not admins of their desktop Macs. All report scheduling options are greyed out for these users, even though 'Full access to all features' is selected in Preferences > Security.
Can only desktop admins (rather than ARD admins) change report scheduling?
Thanks,
b.

Hi Sol
That is correct. The user and responsibility are only used during the session when the user is connected to the database.
Whenever a scheduled workbook is run in an APPS-mode environment the user running it will be APPS. This user is a database user and does not log in with a responsibility therefore the FND_GLOBAL.RESP_ID will not be set.
Best wishes

SQL Server Scheduler Question

I've got a simple package that I want to build. It appears that I will not be able to meet the scheduling requirements on it though.
It needs to run on the 16th of every month - UNLESS the 16th is a weekend day, in which case it needs to run on the following Monday.
I can run it on the 1st, 2nd, (etc) Monday ... or the 1st, 2nd, (etc) weekday ... of the month.
It seems like I need some combination of available options - and I don't see them.
I believe I'd define my requirement as "First Weekday after the 15th day of the Month".
I doubt this is available - but if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
Thank you.

Job schedule question

Hi:
If I make a change to a job, will the scheduled job need to be re-activate for the new change to take effect? Or will BOBJ recognize the change without having to re-activate the scheduled job?
Thanks in advance.

You can change all the objects (like dataflows, workflows, ...) in the job, it will not affect the job schedule (so no need to re-activate).
The job schedule uses the GUID to identify the job in the repo, this will not change when you modify objects in the job. So the next time the schedulesd job is executed it will get the new job definition automatically.

Scheduling question - 6.1.0.171

I have a group called Mon -Fri that has 50+ jobs scheduled that has run fine. On 3/18 I put a job on hold for today(3/21). Today the only job scheduled for today in this group is the job I put on Hold. Tomorrow all 50+ jobs are scheduled to run.
I do not know how putting a job on hold a couple of days in advance could have caused the rest of the jobs in that group to not be submitted to the scheduler for that day. Any thoughts, or is there something I am missing?

Hi there,
If you are having issues opening it up with crw32.exe and it's 4.6.1.0, then the report that you are opening is likely older than what you have. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell which version of CR the reports were developed with.
The current version of CR (CR2008) is 12.0.0.549. Therefore, if you wish to update to the latest version of CR, which is CR2008, you should start from scratch as the reports that your client have is not upgradable. That's a jump of eight versions.
Another alternative is to use CRXIr2 (CR 11.5.x.xxxx) or CRXIr1 (CR 11.0.x.xxxx), they are all upgradable to CR2008 if you decide to do so later. Please note you cannot download a trial version of CRXIr1 anymore.
In any case, you can download either CR2008 or CRXIr2 with sp2.
CRXIr2:
http://www.businessobjects.com/forms/default.asp?id=701300000000tKv
CR2008:
http://www.businessobjects.com/forms/default.asp?id=701600000009BXP&extcmp=cr2008_product_promo_2
You will need to enter your particulars as that's how you will receive your trial keycodes.
Hope that helps.
