Using Variants Created in BEx Analyzer in BEx Broadcaster

We are experiencing an issue where variants created in BEx Analyzer are not available to be selected in BEx Broadcasting.
What we are trying to achieve is when we have a Variant that is created in BEx Analyzer, we want to use the same variant in our BEx Broadcaster, which is found under the Tab General Precalculation and the option Determine from Variants.
For some background, we are on NW04S Patch 9 with BEx Front End 3.5 Patch 10.
Does anyone have any inisight on this issue?
Thanks.

Please disregard question.

  • Display structure in crystal report using structure created in BEx.

    I created a structure in BEx query designer and trying to display the structure as a hierarchy in crystal report.
    Iam not able to accomplish it. the crystal report is displaying the structure with no nodes. please help

    Hi,
    in case you created a BEx query with 2 structure - one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure - then the structure for the characteristics will result in Crystal REports using the BW MDX Driver as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data.

  • Variant for Control Query on Bex Broadcaster Filter

    I am trying to create a Bex Broadcaster setting on a query via query designer (query -->Publish --> Bex Broadcaster). In the Filter Navigation Tab, I want include a filter using a control query with variants. My control query has a variable that is set to (single value, mandatory,manual input) and i created a variant for the control query on the web. I am able to create the Bex Broadcaster setting and enter my control query but when I go enter the variant it always gives me "No selections available".
    Another issue that i am having is - when I try to create a filter on a characterisitc in the Bex Broadcaster and give mulitple values in the filter, it ends up generating seperate excel files (distribution type is e-mail) for each value in the filter. Is there any way i can consolidate all these results and get it to generate on single file?

    1st : no wanswer by now.
    2nd : don't filter in the Broadcastsetting, filter in the Broadcastquery to avoid a broadcast for every filter value.

  • Creation of text variants to be used in bex broadcasting

    Hello
    Can someone tell me the process of creating new text variants which can be used in the subject and content fields in the bex broadcaster Wizard. I can see some standard text variants there but need to create my own.
    Thanks

    Hi Tinkugeo,
    I tried with the following code and it is working for me :
    DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
    DATA:  l_s_range     TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
    Data: NEWDATE type sy-datum.
    IF i_vnam EQ <variable name> 
    if i_step EQ 2.
    CLEAR l_s_range.
    NEWDATE = sy-datum.
    month = NEWDATE+4(2).
    year = NEWDATE+0(4).
    day = NEWDATE+6(2).
    l_s_range-low+0(2) = day.
    l_s_range-low+2(1) = '/'.
    l_s_range-low+3(2) = month.
    l_s_range-low+5(1) ='/'.
    l_s_range-low+6(4) = year.
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    endif.
    Check that the variable you have made is of type customer exit.

  • Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster

    Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster OR How to Broadcast reports (Excel output format) and dynamically generate each Excel file name
    Hello,
    I'm new into posting to this forum, but I always come here when I need some answers and I find them almost everytime.
    But now I couldn't find a solution for my problem so I decided that maybe you can help me.
    I'm using BEx Broadcaster (I'm working on a SAP BW 7.0, SP17) to broadcast to SAP Portal some Excel files generated from a query.
    I use Filter Navigation, because the query provides me with information regarding Sales Orders from all my customers and I need to broadcast an Excel file per customer. This is working perfectly, meaning, with this query I put the Broadcaster generating an Excel file per Customer.
    The problem is that I needed that each Excel file had a different name on it.
    For example, for Customer1 the Excel file name should be something like Customer1_SalesOrder.xls, for Customer2 it should be Customer2_SalesOrder.xls and so on.
    At the present, the Broadcaster generates each Excel file using the technical name of the Query that originated the file. You can use some stardard text variables that broadcaster has available, but these standard text variables don't solve my problem. I needed to create my own Text Variables so I could have the Customer ID on the file name.
    Can someone give me a light on this?
    Points are obviously awarded.
    Thanks,
    Cristina

    Hi All,
    I have a similar requirement, where I publish my reports on to the SAP PORTAL  KM folders.
    In my broacast setting for the web templates, I have the fisrt tab called
    TARGET in PORTAL
    File Name : ReportXX MONTHLY_<MONTH_ID>  (F4) List
    Currently I use the sys variable <MONTH_ID> which gives me the curr month;
    My requirement is
    If the report is run in the first week of the month, I want to generate a filename_PREVIOUS MONTH (label) and
    if the report is run between 7th-30th of the month then to generate a filename_CURRENT MONTH (label)..
    On BI.7 POTAL is it possible using some exit variables instead of the system variable which are given in the F4 List.
    If so where do I create the exit variable in BW backend or the PORTAL itself so that I can access it from the F4list of of the filename column.
    Thanking you in advance for you time.

  • Variant selection missing in BEx Broadcaster

    I've created workbook in BEx Analyzer (2004s). Workbook has selection screen. I also created variants for workbook. I then went into BEx Broadcaster to distribute workbook. I don't see option to select variant that I created in Analyzer under workbook precalculation tab. I see only option for variable assignment which ask me to create new assignment.
    I've used information broadcasting 3.5. It has option to enter variant under pre-calculation tab. Any idea why this option is missing in 70 BEx Broadcaster.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Milind

  • Bex broadcaster in bex analyzer

    Dear all,
    I have created a report in bex analyzer. I want to add this report to portal, therefore  i need to select bex broadcasting from excel bex analyzer menu.
    My questions are as follows:
    1) As i read in document, i can put analyzer reports in portal. Is it correct?
    2) In excel bex analyzer menu, my bex broadcaster menu item is in display mode. Why can it be like this?
    Thanks

    You can directly add the BEx query to the portal. While creating iview there is an option for BEx query also. Just select your query there and you can access this query through portal. For that Broadcaster option present in BEx analyzer I m still searching how to use it.

  • How to use the bex broadcasting to send emails

    Hi Gurus,
    i made a web report, in this report , i have to send an email to some directions based in what characteristic get the value = 1,
    example:
           KF
    x=    1        send email to   pp@....
    y=    1        send email to   gg@....
    The web report is ready, now how can i use the bex broadcasting to do this funtion, please step by step, i'll really appreciate it! thanks !

    Hi Jorge,
    I am not a guru still would like to answer your query...
    You selected Broadcast by E-Mail as the distribution type when you created the broadcast setting then need to send to your systems administrator, he is the one who is responsibile to make this if and then functions coordinate with him-> Various settings need to be made in system administration in order to use information broadcasting. Furthermore, there are a number of broadcast functions that can be made by business experts and in system administration.
    If you want to guide him then.. when you make the precalculations for setting the broadcast there in Variable Assignment you can mention this as a formula
    Variable Assignment: You can create values for the BI objectu2019s input-ready variables (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated using these variable values. These variable values are set whenever an online link is opened.
    Take from Variant: You can select from a variant for the BI object (Query, Query View, Report, or Web Application). The BI object is precalculated with the values of the variant. These variable values are set in accordance with the variant whenever an online link is opened
    To be honest I think Basis should help you trace where exactly to mention such request...

  • Bex Broadcasting Wizard : Create new text varaints

    Hello
    Can someone tell me the process of creating new text variants which can be used in the subject and content fields in the bex broadcaster Wizard. I can see some standard text variants there but need to create my own.
    Thanks

    We have same problem after upgrade to BI7.  SAP responded to our OSS note indicating Timepoints using factory calendar restrictions are no longer supported -- as a result, they do not show them from Broadcaster setting-schedule context menu.  They stated we need to come up with our own workaround.  Here's one approach from another thread, but something has to be added to look at the factory calendar:
    Re: Broadcasting timepoint scheduled after an event  
    Posted: Jan 16, 2006 6:40 PM    in response to: Andy Hensel
    Reply
    Solved this on my own.
    First create and save a broadcast setting for the query to be broadcast.
    Next, create a variant for program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER with the technical name of the broadcasting setting that you created earlier in the selection options for field SettingID. Leave the rest of the fields blank.
    After creating the variant, create a process chain where the start process is scheduled after the desired event. Add an ABAP program process to the chain. Specifiy program RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER as the ABAP program using the variant you created earlier.
    Now you can activate and schedule your process chain. When the specified system event and parameter are triggered, the broadcast will run.

  • Currency error while creating a bex query?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a query using multi provider. I am getting the amount display along with the word ERROR suffixed after it.
    for instance:
    2,850.32 ERROR
    32,225.53 ERROR
    6,639.45 ERROR
    200.00 ERROR
    I have fixed it by using NODIM()  in the bex query.
    But i would like to know is there any solutions apart from this. Do, i need to change any currency translation settting in the bw configuration?
    thanxs
    haritha

    Hi,
    When you load data into the cube, for amount key figure a currency infoobject also gets loaded, please check in the basic cube if the currency infoobject that is corresponding to the amount key figure( you can find this when you see the amount KF in either dispaly or change mode) is being updated in the cube.
    if not correct he same in the update or transfer rules. and then reload the data.
    After this the query should show the results correctly.
    Assign Points if useful

  • Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

    Dear Experts,
    I'm new to OLAP universes.
    We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling  for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
    We require a calmonth (time dimension) object  (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table.  User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
    Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
    Thanks
    Akshara

    Hi Henry,
    Thank  you for your response.
    BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
    Regarding reporting requirements,  User wants to have adhoc reporting  with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
    If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
    Thanks

  • Exception when using BEx Broadcaster on output PDF/Excel

    Hi all,
    I've a BI system (ABAP & Java) on different servers - SP12.
    When I try to send a query with Output Format other than "Outer link to CurrentData" (ie. PDF/Excel) through the BEx Broadcaster I get
    "Java system error: call FM_RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY to ProgId <RFC Destination name> on host <portal server name> with SSO not authorized: Authentication faild."
    If I try to run 'FM_RSRD_X_PRODUCE_PROXY' directly through SE37 I don't get an error.
    I have the latest "Diagnostics & Support Tool" and everything is Green when I do the check.
    SSO if configured from Portal to BW (if I go the the BI Master system and do 'Test connector' I get 'success').
    Moreover, if SSO wasn't configured then I would get an error when trying to access the BI roles (My ModelData JCO destinations uses ticket)
    The user I'm testing has '0BI_ALL'.

  • BEx Analyzer: BEx Broadcaster Option Greyed out

    Hi Folks,
    We are currently running SAP NW7.0 Enhancement Pack 1.
    In BEx Analyzer, I have a query view saved from a query. I want to perform information broadcasting using this query view via BEx Analyzer, but the "BEx Broadcaster" option is unavailable, i.e., greyed out.
    How do I resolve this?
    I have found a workaround which is to open the main query from Query Designer, and then clicking Publish to get the web interface of information broadcasting to open up, and then selecting Query View and clicking Open to open my query view.
    But I would still like to know how to open the BEx Broadcaster directly from BEx Analyzer.
    Please advise, and thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Dennis suggestion should works.
    You have to be in mind, if you are using BEx Analyzer 7.0 you MUST have be installed the BI Java, otherwise the Broadcastwill not works.
    If you have it, execute the note 937697 and fix ALL red marks. Probably this is a communication issue between ABAP and Java side.
    Thanks.
