Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Prompts

Hi All,
Please find my requirement
Scenario 1:-
I am having 30 Different Process Code ( 10 –OAR; 20 – Credit USA; 40 – New Sales etc.) in our project.
Currently I am developing a single report for each “Process Code”. (Total 30 Reports – Templates and query will be 98% same except for different Process Code).
Let us assume that “End user” will not have BO Access. So all the developed reports will be scheduled and sent to the corresponding end user as BO PDF format.
Our Requirement:-
In near future, we will be getting “New Process Code” in data. So the End User wants report for “New Process Code” also.
Is there a way so that we can automate BO to pass each and every Process Code separately to existing BO report and get multiple instance BO PDF output report (One for each Process Code)?
Please give me some solution to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Tharini

Hi Arijit,
Thank you for your response. Irrespective of the recipients i need to pass dynamic parameters separately to existig BO report and should get multiple BO Pdf output for all recipient.
Currently I am having only 30 values. So as of now I can pass these 30 values separately to BO WebI report and Schedule separately for 30 instances.
What if i get 2 New values (Value 1, Value 2) next week and want to view the BO Pdf reports for these 2 values separately (2 New Reports for Value 1 and Value 2 separately)?
How I can achieve these? Is it possible with publishing? If so, please explain it to me.
Thanks,
Tharini

  • Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Date Ranges

    Hello Everyone,
    Our Env is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 integrated with SAP NW  BW 7.02 EPH1
    We are trying to schedule few WebI reports which can be used on ad-hoc basis as well. Some reports need to get data from starting of the month to today (like MTD) and few are with dynamic date ranges.
    In case of relational universes i used to do Magic Date as mentioned here :  http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts
    But for OLAP Universes i have written a MDX filter prompt as :
    <FILTER KEY= "@Select(Debit Memo Date\Debit Memo Date LOV)">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION= "Between">
    <CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0)='First Day of Month','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0))"/>
    <CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0) > '1/1/2100 12:00:00 AM',''1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'',(@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0))"/>
    </CONDITION>
    </FILTER>
    We are getting MDX erros because IIF can only return numeric values. So are there any other approaches for dynamically scheduling the reports or can the above MDX prompt be modified to make it work ?

    Ingo,
    When we schedule the WEBI report we use the BEX query with a variable based on a customer Exit .
    There are good examples in
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
    In order to avoid providing a hard coded date restriction in the BEX query we want to have a flexible date range solution (e.g. data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday).
    Is the folloing scenario possible:
    Scheduled webi report with a hard coded date e.g. 1.1.1900 (for the BEX variable)
    The BEX query should return the data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday (dynamically)  if date = 1.1.1900
    else it should return the data (for the e.g. adhoc reporting)
    Is a customer exit like this possible ?
    Pseudo code:
    IF date = 1.1.900 then return sysdate-1 else return entered date
    For a relational universe I always used a magic date condition

  • Want to schedule WebI report for End date of Prior Month

    Hello Experts,
    We have WebI report created on top of Bex Query, We have key date as prompt for the report. Can we schedule the webi report for key date as last date of prior month, so if current month is February, my key date should be Jan 30 2011. I am not sure if this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    You need to apply two FM to get the end day of the month.
    First you need to apply FM MONTHS_PLUS_DETERMINE. This will give you the date after 3 months.
                CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_PLUS_DETERMINE'
                  EXPORTING
                    MONTHS        = 3   " << for 3 months
                    OLDDATE       = l_start_Date   " << 12/01/2007
                 IMPORTING
                   NEWDATE       = l_3_Date. " << 02/01/2008
    Then call the FM RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS . this will give you the end date of the month
      CALL FUNCTION 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
        EXPORTING
          day_in            = l_3_Date  " << 02/01/2008
        IMPORTING
          last_day_of_month = l_3_Date  " < 02/29/2008
        EXCEPTIONS
          day_in_no_date    = 1
          OTHERS            = 2.
    Call both FMs again to get your another date(after 4 months).

  • Scheduling WebI reports in BusinessObjects 4.0 date prompts

    will SAp Business Objects 4.0 include some kind of feature to allow people to schedule webi reports in an easier way if the report conatins date prompts? For example if my report has 2 dates start date and end date prompts, it's logical if I want to schedule it to be refreshed every month I don't want to keep it scheduling with the same start date and end date for ever.  I want them to change depending on the month.
    I know there are some things that can be done at universe level, but what if a user doesn't have rights to modify the universe? It would be more useful to have some option in the schedule window to make the values change depending on some basic conditions.
    Or at least if profiles settings could help to do that by selecting in the list objects instead of fixed values from the list, it could help too.

    Hi,
    This looks like to be a request for future product enhancements.
    You need to log an Enhancement Request via Idea Place for the feature/functionality you would like to see in BI4.0.  Please follow steps in the attached SAP note [1515837 - How To: Enhancement Request Process - Idea Place |https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3030303135313538333726].

  • 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
    Regards

  • Can Tivoli (TWS) be used for scheduling WebI reports in BO XI 3.1?

    I am trying to figure out if it is possible to schedule WebI reports to refresh using TWS?
    We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2 deployed on unix and would like to use TWS to refresh WebI reports that are built on SAP BW Bex queries.  Does anyone have any experience scheduling WebI reports using TWS with XI 3.1?  Any information you can provide would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Hi
    I can think of two options:
    1) You define in BO CMC external events  and schedule your reports to wait for them. In the TWS you can schedule an OS script to create the file that triggers the BO external event. The reports will run only after the file is created.
    2) You write  a java program that uses the BOBJ SDK in order to schedule immediately your reports. In the TWS you create a scedule that starts the java program. (You can find examples how to use the SDK here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples )

  • SAP BO 4.1 Webi report sample with prompts to try Restful api

    I was not able to find, in the report demo samples available in the SAP BO 4.1 installation, a Webi report with prompts.
    I found many Webi reports samples but all are without prompts.
    I need at least one Webi report sample with prompts to try the Restful API http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/parameters and http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/schedules with parameters body.
    Where can I found such webi sample?
    Thanks,
    Riccardo

    As you have BI 4.1 installed, you could design a sample webi report using Webi Rich Client tool.
    Open Webi rich client, select the sample eFashion universe drag few objects in the query and a filter. Set the filter as a prompt and save the report to Enterprise.
    Now you could now use this sample report for your handson on REST SDK.

  • Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.
    CF

    Hi Christopher,
    Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
    iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
    Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
    For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
    The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
    You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

  • Date error when scheduling webi reports

    Hi,
    When i click the prompt option in re schedule the scheduled webi report, i got the error "while trying to invoke the method java.util.date.gettime() of a null object loaded from a local variable 'date' "
    The BI version is 4.1 SP03
    The scheduled webi reports failing and got the error as "Unparseable date: "01/01/1900" "
    How to solve this issues?
    Regards,
    Kathir

    This might fix it from the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1981477
    Create a WebI report that uses a date object in the Query Filters
    Schedule the report
    Reschedule by manually entering date value which shows only date and no timestampExample: 12/31/2007
    Reschedule by selecting date value from the calendar which shows date timestampExample: 12/31/2007 12:00:00 AM
    Create a biar file using the Import Wizard and migrate to BI 4.1 SP2
    BI 4.1 SP2 BILaunchPad, navigate to and Right click the report and go to “History”
    Right click the instance without a timestamp for the date parameter and select “Reschedule”
    Click on “Prompts” on the left menu and note an error is produced:This error occurred: while trying to invoke the method java.util.Date.getTime() of an object loaded from local variable ‘date’
    Attempting to schedule this instance (as Run Now or Reschedule) without selecting a Prompt value fails with the error:  Unparseable date: “12/31/2007”
    Using the instance with a timestamp works as expected

  • Scheduled WEBI reports based on File Events not retrieving data

    Dear All,
    We are facing performance related issues with Scheduled WEBI reports based on file based events.

    Hi Kumar,
    Is your report has prompts?
    if you have prompts , make sure that you assigned prompts in the schedule also.
    Hope you have multiple webi processing servers and adpative job servers for better scheduling performance.
    Try below solution .
    On the BusinessObjects Enterprise server, navigate to the folder <install root>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_X86\dataAccess\connectionServer
    Open the file cs.config in a text editor such as Notepad
    Search the file contents for the string "Traces Active"
    Modify the line from  <Traces Active="Yes">   to  <Traces Active="No">
    Save the cs.config file

    Cheers ,
    Pradeep Gorpadu

    Hi,
    While refreshing the WEBI Reports would recommend you check the WEBI PROCESSING Server's last changed date from CMC--> Servers.
    Check when you are refreshing the reports, do you see the time stamp changed of WEBI PROCESSING servers?
    Do you keep getting this error messages for all WEBI reports? Can you re-produce this with simple e-fashion reports as well?
    After that go to the node where WEBI PROCESSING servers installed and check on the event viewer details if you see any relevant error messages.

  • Scheduled Webi Reports Don't Open on iOS's MS Exchange Mail

    Hi all,
    I am not sure if this is the right place to write this post but I will try anyway.
    We are using BO 4.0 SP6 and schedule webi reports as attached xlsx of pdf in e-mails.The problem is that the attached pdf's and excel files don't open right away in iPhone's native mail application when using MS Exchange. A tiny question mark shows up on the top corner of the attachment and when you tap on it, it asks which application to use to open it. We can choose iBooks app for example to view the file. We would like the attachment to open right away as we tap on it as it does usually.
    Here are some test results:
    -We have observed this issue on iOS 8. However, there are rumors that it started with iOS 7. Same rumors suggest that it would work fine before iOS 7.
    -We use iOS' native mail application with a MS Exchange account set up.
    -We have also tested it with a gmail account set up next to the exchange account. The attachment opened with no problem.
    -If someone forwards the mail received from the BO server, to another exchange mail, the attachment opens just fine.
    -We have no problem opening other exchange mails with attachments on mobile.
    We suspect, the exchange mail can't confirm the sender address thus can't trust the attachment if it is really a pdf-excel file. So we tried scheduling the webi report with a valid mail address in the sender information box but it didn't work.
    Has anyone came across such a problem?
    I know this issue involve SAP, Apple and Microsoft and each one will point the other for the blame. But any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi Emre,
    Though this appears on Mobile, this belongs to Webi Product team. As the schedule of Webi reports and the email output would be controlled by them. They can work with Apple to identify the cause and fix the defect. Hence, you can post your question in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence
    I would also recommend that you contact Webi Product Support through the official channel http://support.sap.com/incident
