WebI - Single-Pass Publishing and Report Bursting

Hi Experts,
I just would like to inquire if anyone here would know how i can probably do a single-pass publishing/report bursting using webi. Also, if anyone of you would have some links to documents would be great as well.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
All the info you need can be found here: [Publisher Guide SP3 EN|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_publisher_en.pdf]

Publication, Scheduling and Report Bursting

Hi,
what is the main differences between Publication and Scheduling and Report Bursting.
Regards,
G

Hi,
When scheduling a WebI report, you instruct the system to let it run for a certain parameter set at a given time. The result is stored in your system and it called instance.
In a publication you can include more than one reports (several kinds too) and define how and to whom you want to delivered them to. Then you can run/schedule your publication and the content will be delivered as defined at a given point in time.

Web Services SDK and Report Bursting

Using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP2, I want to split a report into multiple reports which I think I can do using report bursting.
I want a report run for each branch in my company. Rather than run a separate report for each branch (there are thousands), I'd like to be able to run a single report for all branches and then split it into individual reports, one for each branch in an attempt to reduce the overhead of scheduling reports and querying the database. From what I've read it looks like I might be able to do this with report bursting. If this is right, can I do it using the Web Services SDK? I can't find any mention of Report Bursting in the SDK developer's guide.
Cheers,
Jack

I can suggest you DocumentBurster. It is doing exactly what you described, it is a simple to use [report bursting|http://www.pdfburst.com/] tool and it has very good documentation.

Need help understanding MS SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0 and user access / priviledges.

Having Problems with connections and access. I have spent the last 2 days reading various threads regarding SQL Reporting Services pertaining to access and connections.
First, let me explain what I have done to date.
1) I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium.
2) I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. This was successful.
3) I downloaded Report Server 3.0 - This was successful.
4) In IE, I tried logging onto http://servername/reports, but this failed. After logging into IE
via ' Run Administrator', I was able to access URL.
Next, I updated the security / trust sites as explained in the
threads
Next, I went to Folder Setting and added my user name and granted all roles (Browser,
Content Manager, My
Reports, Publisher and Report Builder).
5) Now, I can log into Http://servername/reports using my normal windows 7 user account.
6) Next, I opened Report Builder 3.0. However, I am having trouble connecting to report
server. I tried connecting with
http://servername/reports, but this failed.
However, If I change URL to http://servername/reportserver, it works. BUT NOW, I have
another problem. When I
execute the RUN button to create report, I get a permission
error. "PERMISSION GRANTED TO USER ARE
INSUFFICIENT FOR PERFORMING THIS OPERATION".
7) Finally, I can not save reports to http://servername/reportserver when I select "Recent
Site and Servers". ERROR
MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN OR SAVE REPORT
8) In my Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Web URL = http://servername:80/ReportServer
Report Manager URL = http://servername:80/reports.
What is strange, the Report Manager URL works for IE URL and WEB URL works for
Report Builder connect (Even though it really does not work).
THREE QUESTIONS:
1) What URL should I use to connect in Report Builder.
2) How do I update my normal Windows 7 user so I can run reports when I connect to report
builder.
3) How can I save my reports so they are displayed in IE Reporting services. Note: I was
able to save report to
documents folder and import into IE Reporting Services.
4) And finally, is it possible to add report builder 3.0 as a tab in my IE Reporting Services. I
save seen samples of Reporting Services screens where the instructor has Report Builder
tab.
Thanks
Dan

To answer question 1... it should connect through /ReportServer
http://bretstateham.com/reporting-services-architecture-diagram%E2%80%A6/
Report Builder 3.0 is not a web application, it is a client side application can be used using the click-once or downloaded from Microsoft's website. If you are having issues, you might download and install it and try running it as an administrator.

XML Report Publisher - Blank Report Request Parameter

Hi
I have a custom template and custom data definition in Purchasing application. I ran PO Output For Communication and it generated the PDF. Now I want to do Bursting.
So, I assigned XML Report Publisher and XML Bursting (both out-of-box programs) to Purchasing responsibility. But when I try to run them, I don't see any values in Request ID LOV.
Please suggest what am I missing in there.
Thanks,
NewBie

Thanks,
NewBiePlease confirm that you have added those concurrent programs to the correct Request Group which is attached to the same responsibility.
From (System Administrator responsibility > Security > Responsibility > Define) query the responsibility name and get the Request Group. Then from (System Administrator responsibility > Security > Responsibility > Request), query the Request Group and add those concurrent programs.

Which case in LV Oper. Intf. will do "Run Selected Steps using single pass" for me?

I added a button to simulate "Run Selected Steps", but I really want a button that will "Run Selected Steps Using Single Pass". Which case in the Complex Labview Operator Interface does this for me? What I really want is the report to be generated which happens when I use "Run Selected Steps Using Single Pass" but no report when I select "Run Selected Steps".
Thanks!

I figured out how to make this work. Instead of calling the Sequence File View Manager ConnectCommand method using the Run Selected Steps button and the CommandKind_RunSelectedSteps command kind, you use the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind. The tricky part is that before you can use the ConnectCommand method with the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind, you have to create a set of new commands. Do this by first invoking the Application Manager method NewCommands. This method returns an empty set of commands. You must then add a new command to that set. Do this by invoking the InsertKind method on the empty set of commands using CommandKind_RunEntryPointOnSelectedSteps for cmdKind, Sequence File View Manager for managerControl, -1 for insertBefore, and empty strings for currentMenuName and allMenuNames parameters. Once you have made these calls, then you can call the Sequence File View Manager ConnectCommand method using the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind.
The previous instructions work just the same for the Loop On Selected Steps button. Just substitute the CommandKind_RunEntryPointOnSelectedSteps and CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind constants with CommandKind_LoopEntryPointOnSelectedSteps and CommandKind_LoopOnSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kinds (and of course use the Loop On Selected Steps button reference instead of the Run on Selected Steps button reference when invoking the ConnectCommand method).
There is one mystery with this solution that I haven't figured out yet, besides the fact that it is so laborious and non-intuitive to me (but at least it works). Nowhere in any of the calls detailed above did I ever see a parameter to specify which execution entry point to use. I am using the default sequential model entry points Test UUTs and Single Pass. Typically you specify which entry point you want to use (such as when invoking the ConnectCommand method) in the form of an index to a set of entry points where the Test UUTs entry point corresponds to a set index of 0 and Single Pass corresponds to a set index of 1. How did the previous calls determine which entry point to use when I didn't specify anywhere which one to use? Do this just work because you can only run or loop on selected steps using no process model or the Single Pass entry point?

GBN/ASUG Hosts Report Bursting Webcast by BI Builders Tomorrow

GBN Crystal Reports SIG Webcast: Report Bursting
December 8, 2009 - 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. Central
Iain Rogers, The BI Builders
Report Bursting describes the distribution of hundreds of thousands of reports, customized to individual recipients. This presentation will review the distribution and report bursting components included in the latest version of the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform.
BusinessObjects Enterprise and Edge, in their XI 3.1 edition, now include some powerful capabilities that allow users to automate the process of personalizing and distributing reports and report packages to audiences as large as 1,000,000 users. During Publishing, the data in documents is refreshed against data sources and personalized before the publication is delivered to recipients. There are a few options to choose from:
One database fetch for all recipients
One database fetch for each batch of recipients
One database fetch per recipient
The most important consideration is when to and when not to use report bursting. We will answer that question and cover some best practices for report bursting and tips to consider when designing publication and distribution workflows.

To View Calc Scripts and Report scripts via MaxL or Esscmd

Hi all,
Can somebody tell how to read any calc script or report script in any database with the help of MaxL or Esscmd?
For example if there is any .csc or .rep file, I want to read the context of the file i.e. the script that is written in the file. Is it possible via MaxL or Esscmd?
Does Hyperion supports this functionality?
Regards,
James

You know that calc and report scripts are text files, right?
They are typically stored in the database directory, although that is not a requirement; they can be stored in other client-accessible directories and run from there.
I haven't done it in ages, but is also possible to pass calc and report scripts to Essbase via the API. I can't remember if the API will let you enumerate calc scripts from the database directory. I sort of strongly think yes. Someone who is more knowledgeable will either correct or refute that statement pretty soon. :)
If you want to list the objects (calcs or reports): http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/techref.htm
A few things that you can do with MaxL re calc scripts:
1) execute calculations, including a string that you pass through MaxL: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/excalc.htm
2) delete calculations: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/drpcalc.htm
3) list the calcs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/dispclc.htm
4) create the calc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/crecalc.htm
Report scripts are sort of a poor relation in MaxL (and were in Esscmd as well). You can basically only run a report as kind of export: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/exprt.htm
So, I think it's mostly there, especially the display object command. BTW, if MaxL can list it, the API can too -- how else does MaxL work?

Cameron Lackpour

BI Publisher report bursting problem

I am not able to make my report burst to separate files for ftp delivery. I am running BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4.1 (stand-alone). My data query looks like this:
select a.agency_id, b.borr_name
from agency_tbl a, borr_tbl b
where a.rpt_date >= 20100101 and a.rpt_date <= 20100110
and a.borr_id = b.borr_id
and a.agency_id in (80013,80019)
order by a.agency_id, b.borr_name
My bursting/delivery query looks like this:
select agency_id "KEY",
'mytemplate' as TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FTP' DEL_CHANNEL,
'myserver' PARAMETER1,
'myid' PARAMETER2,
'mypwd' PARAMETER3,
'/home1/web-docs-443/files/pdffiles' PARAMETER4,
convert(varchar,agency_id) || '.pdf' PARAMETER5
from agency_tbl
where agency_id in (80013,80019)
and rpt_date >= 20100101 and rpt_date <= 20100110
(I have to put "KEY" in quotes because my database is sybase, and KEY is a reserved word.)
I have verified that both queries return data (6 records each, no null agency_id keys).
The goal is to create a file for each agency that lists their associated borrowers.
I can view the report without problems. But when I schedule the report and enable bursting, I get the "Job was failed" email notification, and the report history shows this:

Any help will be greatly appreciated. This has me stumped . . . I am out of ideas.

What caused our bursting problem:
We had to put the word "KEY" in quotes (in our bursting query), because KEY is a reserved word in sybase. But putting it in quotes caused a problem - the results of the bursting query did not contain a "KEY" tag.
. . . And the solution:
We added the connection property "GET_COLUMN_LABEL_FOR_NAME=true" to our sybase datasource definition. Many thanks to Tim Dexter, and to Paul from the sybase forums (http://newsgroupstats.info/article/forums.sybase.com/sybase.public.jconnect/2308/Column-aliases-not-working.html) c. 2007.
And thanks again to Jorge for the helpful suggestion.
