Suplier evaluation to be send via Information Broadcast

Hi BI Experts,
I would realy apreciate you can tell me the steps (configuration/functional) to be able to send a supplier evaluation wich was generated in SRM and uploaded into BI. I need to send this evaluation to an external supplier.
thanks in advance!

Juli

Java strings don't have encodings. So your premise is faulty to start with.
But then you convert the string to bytes (using the getBytes()) method. This is where you need to specify an encoding. SOAP is XML-based so the natural encoding to choose is UTF-8. To do this you just change your code to call getBytes("UTF-8").
I know nothing about using SOAP but doesn't SOAPEnvelope have a constructor that takes a String as its parameter? Or something like that? That would make far more sense than compelling the user to guess at encodings.

    Yup.. you need to check the implemented server time zone.. you can see also from menupath system status..
    if you want to change i think it will be global change across all the users at all the regions..
    I think you can see in one of SPRO settings..  i think so..

  • Storing query results in file server via Information Broadcasting service

    Dear Experts,
    We use BI7.0.
    I want to get the query results as PDF file or Excel file
    stored in file server or BW server, EP server by night batch job.
    (Not the distribution of query via E-mail.)
    BW3.5, I think we can use pre-calculation service for that case.
    BW7.0, I could not find such settings in EP Broadcasting service.

  • Distributing Password Protected PDF's via Information Broadcasting

    Is it possible to password protect a distributed report (pdf format) using individual Member's unique password?
    Then, can we easily administer the (e.g. user-create/e-mail confirmation) the actual passwords?

    What about the Java Cryptography Extension framework for PDFs? 
    Can NetWeaver support this....
    http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/pdfencryption.html
    Environment
    In order to use PDF encryption, FOP has to be compiled with cryptography support. Currently, only JCE is supported. JCE is part of JDK 1.4. For earlier JDKs, it can be installed separately. The build process automatically detects JCE presence and installs PDF encryption support if possible, otherwise a stub is compiled in.

  • Information Broadcaster with variants

    Hi All,
    We have to send workbooks via Information Broadcaster to e-mail recipients. So, the recipients should receive the data for a special variant of an excel workbook. So, I have to create a variant in the information broadcaster to manage the distribution.
    So, we have app. 200 recipients with 200 variants. Is there any possibility to create the variants automatically via BAPI or something else. Or has anyone an creative idea to fix the claim.

  • DB type repository manager for information broadcasting?

    I read some article which says only FSDB type of repository manager can be used for BI informaiton broadcasting. I want to broadcast to MOSS server, which uses IIS, but stores everything in database. Is there anyway to use DB or WSDL type repository manager for broadcasting?
    Thanks
    Jane Zhou

    Where did you get this information from? Is there any document that states that? Below is the information I got, it says FSDB has to be used:
    Can I use information broadcasting to distribute precalculated queries, Web applications, and workbooks to a third-party file server, Web server or document management systems?
    Yes. With information broadcasting, you can precalculate queries, Web applications, and workbooks and publish them into the Knowledge Management of the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
    In KM, you can easily create a Repository Manager (CM repository with persistence mode FSDB) that is attached to a file system directory (for example, the directory of an Internet Information Server (IIS)). You have to create a link in the KM folder of documents to the folder of the CM Repository attached to the file system or you can define your CM Repository as an entry point in KM. For more information, see SAP Note 827994 (SMP login required).
    Information broadcasting can automatically put a new report on the third-party file server (for example, using the data change event in the process chain). KM offers repository managers for many different file servers, Web servers, and document management systems (such as IIS and Documentum):
    1.                            Create CM Repository attached to file system.
    2.                            Use iView KM Content to create subfolder in file system (optional).
    3.                            Set permission to Administrator (optional).
    4.                            Create link in /documents to folder of CM Repository attached to file system or define CM Repository as entry point. (See SAP Note 827994.)
    5.                            Schedule Broadcasting Settings that export to a linked folder of CM Repository.
    Because documents created via Information Broadcasting have additional attributes attached to them which mark them as broadcasted documents, it is not possible to store these kind of documents in a "pure" file system repository because such a repository usually only stores properties like "last changed", "creator", etc. Fortunately, KM provides a mechanism to nevertheless use a file system repository to store the documents. The additional properties will be stored in the database. Details are given here and here.
    The "persistence mode" of the repository must be "FSDB" to allow this kind of behavior. Please note that because of the distributed storage of file and additional properties, the property assignment will be lost when moving around the document in the file system using some non-KM tool like windows explorer.

  • Information broadcasting report output

    Hi,
    We are receiving some reports via Information broadcaster. But in those reports when we are opening we can not see navigational block and pre selection criteria.
    Is there any way we can achieve this?
    Any urgent help will be appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    If you try the option Online link to current data then you can get the display similar to the query output where you can see the Pre selection criteria and the navigational block

  • How to stop the information broadcasting mail if the output of the query is

    Hi everyone, We have a requirement to not to send the information broadcasting mail in case if the query output is blank (ie no applicable data). However as per the schedule the mail should go in case if there is applicable data. In other words, users are not interested in opening the broadcasted mail to see if there is any applicable data or not. Inputs will be certainly rewarded

  • Information Broadcast / Sending reports automated

    Hello,
    I have the following task:
    we should send reports to non-bw users.
    For each recipient should be set a personlized variable (like customer no). So he only get the report with his company code.
    There should be possibility to implement this automated?
    In Information Broadcast I have to type in every mail adress and assign the right report.
    We would need a solution where the variable (eg. company code) is filled automatically, saving the report under a title starting with the company code and then send the report via mail to the correct partner.
    As the mail adresses are all in R/3 in the customer datas. It should not be a problem to load them to BW.
    Thank you for your help.
    Franz

    Hi!
    I think it is hard to implement a scenario of sending automatically to BP's when they dont have a userid in BW.
       Problem is that we can makes settings in broadcaseter either manually  or by creating a Variant of report automatically for each userid.  I think atleast in BW3.5 it is not possible to automate this.
    When we contacted sap regarding the simmilar problem,we were informed that it'S not possible. they suggested us to have atleast background user for each BP. this was about an year ago..so i dont know if there is a solution now.

  • Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

    Hi Experts,
    I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
    I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting.  The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
    like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
    Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
    Can you please tell what could be the problem.

    Hi Ravikanth,
    Thank you very much for the reply
    I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'.  There we have 3 sections
    1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
    I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
    2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
    In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
    If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
    Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
    3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
    All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
    I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
    Can you please help me further to trace the error.
    Thank you

  • Monitoring / Alerts for Information Broadcasting Netweaver 2004

    Hello sdn,
    we are currently evaluating Information Broadcasting on SAP Netweaver 2004 (BW + Portal) on SPS19.
    For a special requirement of a vendor we would like to send him a precalculated Excel Workbook using the precalculation service.
    So far so good. Everything works fine.
    Now we are wondering, whether there are any special monitoring methods or tools we can use in case an error occured and the mail is not being send.
    Of course we could launch transaction scot or sm37 to check the errors, but we would like to go productive with a solution that triggers a mail event or something in case of errors.
    Any hints welcome.
    Thanx in advance.
    Markus

    Hi Murali,
    thanks for your reply. What we currently found out is that you can check rsrd_log where you can see the chronological steps for your task.
    But still we havent found a standard opportunity to be informed automatically in case of an error.

  • Pecalculation with Information Broadcasting

    hi,
      I am try to set up this scenario but somewhere i am missing some setting. I need your suggestions.
      I have one query on multiprovider which includes 8 cubes. The query takes half an hour to display the results. So, what i have done is i have done the precalculation of the query for specific selection and executed it. And after that i want to send an email to the users through Information Broadcasting with the link so that when they click on the link they could get the results within a minute along with navigations or drill downs.
      I know that this broadcasting can be executed via process chains using trigger event data chain. But i am looking for some help on this.
    I would like to set up my report like this:
    1) After data is loaded into Cubes, the process chain should kick the job.
    2) After process chain kicks the job, the precalculation of the web template should run.
    3) After the precalculation is completed an email should be sent to the users via broadcasting with a link of latest data.
    Over all, after the data loading finishes, the precalculation should start and after precalculation finishes, email process should kick. ...
    How can i acheive this? If there is any wrong sequence above also, please correct me and advise how should i set this up. I could manually do this each step but i want to automate this after every data load. Please advise.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,
    You can achieve thru information broadcasting.
    Steps :
    1. Create a process chain.
             Start - Trigger Event data change .
             In the trigger Event data change ,you can specify the infoprovider name which you want to precalculate the query for the infoprovider.
    2. In the information broadcaster , you will find the option as
                  ' Execution with Data change in the infoprovider'.
                         Mark the check box for the infoprovider.
                 Once the infocube data gets loaded or changed , the process chain will kick off the trigger Event data change..Then it will precalculate the query  and send a mail to the users.
               Only thing is you have to start the process chain , once you  know the timing when infocube get load finsihed  , then you can specify the timing in the start variant of the process chain..
    I hope you get my answer.
    Regards,
    Siva.
