Webi Publication - Do not send report by email when zero records

Hello,
I have a report that I am scheduling.  It is using dynamic recipients and personalization based on the recipients.  Some of the recipients will have zero records for the report and I do not wish to send the report by email to them.  I have searched and found a "workaround" of adding a conditioned error in the footer to get a division by zero error if there are no records.  However, the report still runs and gets sent to the recipient with no data.  Any way to accomplish what I want to do?
I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Version: 14.1.2.1121
My data sources are Excel, so I am not using a Universe for this particular application.
Thank You in advance.

I have been trying different options and the most promising one would be to generate a list of dynamic recipients that have data and output it to Excel file.  I can use that Excel file as data source for a Webi Document that is going to be used as the dynamic recipient document in a publication.
One problem is I cannot automate the creation and replacement of an Excel file in InfoView folders.  This means I would have to update the Excel file manually.  Also it seems like the Webi document used for dynamic recipients must be refreshed and saved, otherwise the old list of recipients is used by the publication.

  • Send reports by eMail without .BIAR

    Hi,
    Can i send reports by email for deployment on another CMC without using .BIAR file? The reports are created in Webi Rich client. The universe and associated DB already exist at the destination location. I am relatively new to BO.
    Thanks...

    Technicaly - yes you can, but in that destination environment you will have to open thise reports using Webi Rich Client, re-point them to the proper universes and then export them to repository.
    The Proper , Recomended and Supported method is to use Life Cycle Manager or BIAR file funxctionality for this operation.

    That really sounds like anti virus scanning to me. Try rebooting your machine into safe mode with networking and see if it works correctly then.

  • HT4528 My phone will not send me the email to verify my iCloud account, how do I get this to happen?

    I first got my iphone 5 in July and I set my phone but my iCloud account would not verify so I have tried to delete the account and do it again but it will not send me the email I need to verify my account. So please someone help me with this. Thanks

    Hi Belinda80!
    I have an article for you that can help you address this issue:
    I cannot sign in to the iCloud Preferences pane on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
    If you cannot sign in due to an alert stating "Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account":
    Close and reopen the iCloud Preferences pane before logging in again.
    If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
    If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button on the iCloud Preferences pane.

    Reset my security questions not send to my email?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Most of the people on these public forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
    If you aren't receiving the reset info to your rescue email address (how long ago did you request it, and have you checked the spam folder as well as the inbox ?) then you could try clicking it again and giving it an hour or two to see if it then arrives. If it doesn't then you can try contacting iTunes Support or Apple
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
