Share Analytics Reports with non-Siebel Users

Hello,
We are on version 7.8.2.4 of Siebel Analytics and are on a UNIX platform.
I am working on a project that is required to share reports with non-Siebel users. We are hoping to accomplish this through Analytics Delivers, but are open to suggestions or alternatives.
I have found that an iBot (under the Advanced tab) can be used in conjunction with custom Javascript or VB to FTP the report results in a pdf format to a specified location on the server. The Analytics Scheduler Bookshelf document explains how to do this starting on page 50.
However, there is a note within this document that says this functionality is only supported on Windows platforms. Unfortunately, our servers are on a UNIX platform. I have been told the possible reason for only supporting this functionality on a Windows platform is because there is not a service analogous to the ActiveX Scripting.FileSystemObject control which is called in the Javascript described in the document mentioned above.
This leads me to my question: Has anyone ever used this custom Javascript functionality with iBots on a UNIX platform or is there a similar approach that can be used instead? Has anyone found another way to share Analytics reports with non-Siebel users?
Thanks,
Andrea Thomas

Hi Andrea,
I don't have experience with ftp-ing a pdf to a specific location. But I do have 2 alternatives:
1. Use a public dashboard

2. Set up SA System subject area, to email the pdf to non-Siebel Analytics users.

In the external table you use for the SA System subject area, it is possible to add 'fake' users with their e-mail addresses.

  • Sharing digital files with non Adobe users

    Can someone tell me how to share Adobe files with non-Adobe users? At the Adobe Max Conference, they mentioned that this was possible, but I'm not sure if this is something that is available now or just in the future. Thoughts, comments?
    Thanks,
    -JLUMBER

    You first need to upload the file you want to share to Creative Cloud, then through the web interface (https://assets.adobe.com/files you can select the file in question, click the "Send Link" button near the top of the file list, and then click "Create Public Link".
    This will make the file public and provide you with a link to share to your intended recipient.
    It actually works quite nicely.

    Thnaks,

    Have the SMTP server configured by your admin and create agent privilege given to your role. Then Schedule an Agents to yourself/Testuser with the report to be sent to external user as its Content. Set up the Delivery Profile of the recipient. In the set up for email device - delivery profile specify the external email address. This might be useful

  • Sending  OBIEE  reports to non OBIEE users who are external to SMTP server

    Hi All,
    Hi Nazza,
    Would you please help me how you diid send reports to non OBIEE users (external mails)?
    I have configured the mail server and able to send reports to internal mails.
    I have followed the following steps as mensioned in all blogs:
    1. I created a d table called SA_SYSTEM_USER with default columns as mensioned.
    2. Imported into Physical Layer
    3. Created a view for Dummy table(Dual) with 'DUMMY' column.
    4. Joined these tow tables DUMMY fact and SA_SYSTEM_USER as Dimension on DUMMY join Email.
    5. Renamed columnsfor Presentaion table as mensioned in Bolgs.
    6. Restarted the servers.
    7. I noticed the system mail and system delivery profile created with only one email id(where are the other email ids from my SA_SYSTEM_USER table?)
    8. But as written in blogs it never sends emails to external mails e.g. [email protected](this is existng mail in SA_SYSTEM_USER)
    I am in need of urgent solution please some one help me out....
    Thank you so much.....

    Hi Deepak,
    I followed every single step mensioned in the link you have given.
    When save the iBot there was no response.
    Would yu please clarify these doubts:
    1. Do I need to have any specific settings on our SMTP mail server to send emails to external email-ids ????
    2. I can see only one email account appears in My Account-->Active Profile. where I loaded 2 email accounts in my User table. Does it matters while I am choosing 'Specific Devices' on 'Destinations' Tab while deselecting 'Ineractive Dashboard' and 'Active Delivery Profile'?
    3. By default the report is going to that mail account (internal only) if I select Destinations--> Active Delivery Profile.
    4. As mmy requirement is to send emails to the users external to organization( external to our local SMTP server distribution list), I entered my Gmail account to test.
    When save the iBot there was no response.
    5. Do I need to set filter on specifc user on a conditional request to send e-mai to that usel??
    6. Is there any solution for this please? Thsi is a must requiremnet.
    My Thought (I am not sure) : 1. I create those user IDs on SMTP server
    2. send reports to this user list.
    3. From these user ID mail inbox of SMTP server if possible: forward those reports to external email IDs.
    Thank you for your time

  • Sharing icloud calendars with non icloud users

    Anyone have a suggestion on how to share my ical icloud calendars with non-icloud users?
    Can't seem to share with MobileMe - and Tungle.com doesn't support it either. What about google calendars? Would that be a good work around or end up duplicating entries somehow if they're all synced.
    Please advise.

    Ok Apple... I was sooooo excited about moving my whole team to iCloud, I've already got us setup and our upcoming events are being entered as I write. Then.... I discovered.... The fatal flaw....
    While most of my people are apple users, I still have an employee that isn't and isn't ever going to be. No big deal right, they should just get read only access while the "in crowd" gets the cool toys. Except....
    See screenshot below, I can EITHER publish read-only to a url OR share through iCloud... NOT BOTH. So in order for my one non-apple employee to see the calender, I have to give up the ability for all the others to make changes... making this calendar service just as ineffective as the one I was trying to replace!
    This would be such an easy thing to fix, but I suspect it was a conscious decision to incentivize more people to switch to all apple. Yet I just can't get everybody to do that, I can't force an employee to buy an iPhone and I sure ain't gonna pay for it. So I'm stuck. Next stop... Google Calendar.

  • Sharing i cloud calendar with non apple users

    Hi.  I want to share my icloud calendar with non apple users.  I went into i cloud settings clicked the calendars I wanted to share and sent the invites.  All good so far.  However, the people I have invited can find no way to access them as they do not have i cloud accounts (which it keeps asking for) and are not apple users.  help?

    Are you asking about the file format for non-Apple PC's or the best way to physically share the slideshow file or are you asking about sharing with people that don;t have a computer at all?
    Once you create the slide show in Aperture you will need to export it. You can  pick a number of formats and uses during export. The easiest way would be to export for YouTube. Once the export is finished you can upload the file to YouTube and give all your friends and family the URL to play it.
    If you want to deliver a file depending on the software they have on the PC you could use the .mov file format. This requires Quick Time to play it but there is a free Quick Time player for windows available from Apple.
    If you want to create a DVD to play on a standard DVD player you will need to get a hold of DVD aurhoring  software. Apple use to include the software with iLife but stopped doing that a while back. If you're looking to make a video DVD post back.

    Hello,
    I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
    The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place.

    My bad,  It was a Verizon problem.  When they upgraded my phone they were supposed to remove all blocks on messaging . Found out they did not do this.  All messaging now works.  Thanks for listening.

    I was able to text message from iMessage with non-iPhone users after the last update and now I suddenly can't.  The phone numbers are in read and the messages won't go through.  What happened?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Report with non aggregated and aggregated columns from different facts.

    Hi,
    We have got requirement as follows,
    1) We have two dimension tables, and two fact(Fact1 and Fact2) table in physical.
    2) In BMM we have made hierarchies for both dimensions, and are joins both logical fact table.
    3)In fact1, we are having three measures of which we have made two as aggregation sum, and one is non aggregated(It contains character).
    4)Fact2 have two measures, both are aggregation as sum.
    5)Now here the problem arises, we want to make a report with some columns from dim and non aggrgated column from fact1 and and aggregated column fact2
    How to resolve the above issue.
    Regards,
    Ankit

    As suggested you really want to move your none-aggregated fact attributes to a logical dimension (using the same physical table as the logical fact). Map this in the BMM layer as a snowflake, Place a hierarchy on this dimension with (at minimum) Total -> Detail levels, then on the other fact table you want to include in the report, set the content level on your other fact measures to the 'Total' level for your new logical Dim and it will allow them to be present in the same report.
