Workbook broadcasting issue
Hi, am trying to broadcast one of my workbook through Bex broadcaster and it aint seems to be working. Though there is no error message or termination of process the job keeps on running.
We are in an environment of BI release 7.0. Few of our workbooks which are running for the past 2 years still works fine. This problem we face is only for newly created workbooks. We kept the same settings as the old ones still not able to overcome this.
is there any specific settings that needs to be maintained in Precal server or in BEX to over come this. Pls help.
regards
Iniyan
Dear Iniyan,
Could you please check in TX SOST if you can see your workbook there?
also please confirm me the Precalculation version installed on your system?
Also could you please also check if the workbook can be executed successfully on your Prec machine?

Arvind

Variable Assignment : Workbook broadcast
Hi gurus,
We have been broadcasting 31 Inventory workbooks on a weekly basis for the past couple of months. The workbook is based on 1 inventory query which has a Cal Month and Store Location as mandatory variables. Obviously, while broadcasting the same, we should be able to set these variables in the Variable Assignment of the Workbook Precalculation Tab.
Earlier I was able to see them in the variable assignment assignment for this workbook. We havn't changed the query, no changes in the system, No changes at all. But now I am not able to see a single variable in the variable assignment except for this variable that says Tech.Cont.: Time Frame for which Data is Selected.
I am not sure where can I see the variants for this workbook. Anyways, we havn't mentioned any variants in the workbook precalculation tab. Please help me with this issue.
I executed the query and tried broadcasting the corresponding query, Here I am able to see the variable assignment. But not for the corresponding workbook. Creating all the settings right from the scratch for changing from workbook broadcast to query result broadcast would be a very tedious task which I don't want to undertake right now.
Can anyone please help me with this problem.
Thanks & rgds,
SreeHi Murali,
Thanks for your answer and sorry wasn't able to respond early.
As I had mentioned, this problem didn't exist earlier. However, all of a sudden, we have started to face this issue. Global variants were never created because we are not using the option of VARIANTS, instead we use Variable Assignments. This has been the practice for the past many months, but all of sudden since last month, we started having this strange issue where we could'nt determine the variable assignment.
When know I click on the variable assignment create link, there is only one variable that appears in the screen "Tech.Cont.: Time Frame for which Data is Selected", I donot see any other variables. Earlier though, i was able to see all the other variables (Plant, division, etc).
Please let me know if you have any answer for this issue.
Thnks & rgds,

Workbook broadcast ouput should be in PDF format
Hi,
Workbook broadcast output should be in PDF format ,I could not find any option in broadcast setting in BI 7.0.the users requested that they want the report in PDF format.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
thanks
PallaviHi,
I am not sure whether this is possible? Can you check in RSRD_OUTFORM_OT table whether PDF option is available for workbook(WB)? Anyway if there is only one sheet in workbook you can broadcast the query itself.

Issue with Workbook Broadcasting
Hi Guys,
I am trying to broadcast one workbook.
I am able to send it through mail.
But when I am opening the mail attachment the workbook is not showing any value,only the message
"There are variables,change variable values" is coming.We are on support pack 18 BI7.
Please help me on this.
SunitaHi Sunita,
Since you say you are on SP 18 for 7.0 this error should normally not occur any more, can you check
that the manual parts of following notes have been implemented complety in your system:
Notes 1074272, 1072913 and 1082617
If the problem still exists please make sure that you have the latest patch for the BI FrontEnd & Precalculation Server
installed on your system.

7.x Workbook BroadCasting questions
Hello Gurus,
We are currently upgrading from BW 3.5 to 7.01 and migrating several Reporting Agent settings to the BroadCaster 7. We need your assistance on a particular requirement for which we cannot find a clear answer online (either on SDN, OSS or SAP related blogs) :
We would like to know if it is possible to BroadCast a 7.x Workbook that contains about a dozen queries (1 per worksheet) by converting each sheet as an individual PDF file. As a workaround, we could accept to split the original workbook into several workbooks (one for each query) but we must be able to export them individually as a pdf.
Additionally, we would like to be able to export the generated pdf files to either a windows server (unless we can send these these pdf via email and automate their extraction / transfer to windows server.
We are aware that most of the precalculation steps for a workbook require to set up a dedicated precalculation server, and we already have looked at a bunch of white papers (including "Checking Precalculation Server Issues for BEx Analyzer Workbooks in BW 7.X"), SDN blogs and OSS notes (among them: 1236773 - BI7.X Precalculation - General Information & Limitations; 1425805 - Hardware&Software requirement for BI7.x frontend....) and threads here (including the popular "Troubleshoot Information Broadcasting") but cannot find a clear and definitive answer.
Therefore, we would like to ensure that our requirements are technically feasible before setting up a precalculation server.
Thanks in advance,
Sébastien FRANCALHi Amer,
You managed to broadcast workbooks ... as PDF files? If you did, can you please detail how because it looks like it`s not possible... -

QuickTime Live Broadcast issues.
After upgrading to 802.11n, I have had a problem watching Live QuickTime broadcasts in both wired and wireless modes. Video / audio drops out constantly and what video I do get, is severely pixelated and is totaly unusable.
I have re-installed my 802.11g unit and the problem goes away. I have never had this problem untill I replaced my AirPort Extreme "g".
I have tried port mapping QuickTime Server with no change.
I have tried everything I can think of with no luck. Am I the only one with this problem? Did I miss a setting somewhere? How is this problem corrected?
Thank you all for your assistance.
MacBook Pro, PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 3GB / 500k DSLi have the same problem ... and earlier posts here haven't yielded any solutions. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4535843�
btw: the same computer works fine at the local Apple Store (which uses the 802.11n Extreme) ... but not with the 802.11n Extreme at my home. The Apple Store folks say that aside from assigning specific channels, they have only "default" settings. I tried changing my channel to something other than Automatic ... but it doesn't help.
Since the earlier post - I've set-up the older 802.11g unit and got screen captures of all the settings. Then went back to the 802.11n and ensured that the set-up of the two units are identical (to the extent there is 1-to-1 correspondence).
also: two of my systems also have the latest releases of Quicktime and Flip4Mac. They have problems of their own! (See their discussion forums). But my older iBook has the same software that has been used without issues for the past several months. The only "new" item in the system is the new 802.11n base station.

Dear Gurus!
Has anybody experience with designing an excel master template in BEx 7?
I have designed a template on basis of a query, created a corporate theme, positioned the design items, inserted a logo etc. and saved the workbook on the BW server. When I have assigned this workbook as a global template. So far it works fine.
Now I have 2 problems:
1) If users run a query, but do not have authorization for the query the master template is based on, the data provider gets no query assignment hence the workbooks shows no result.
If I leave the data provider assignment blank or remove the data provider from the design items, it does not work neither.
2) How can I provide the corporate theme to the users that they can choose it without beeing able to change it? We have a lot of users which are creating local workbooks for special purposes.
The authorization object S_RS_TOOLS provides editing rights, hence is no solution for a reporting only user?
I hope you can help!
Best regards and thanks in advance,
AlexOh, I agree completely. I am still struggling with the same issue. I did put a query in the template to which all users have access, but the silly thing pops up a variable entry screen and then is somehow magically gone.

Workbook Printing Issues???
Most of the clients work on Discoverer Plus so that they can develop & manage workbooks. But when it comes to printing Plus is missing a vital feature of Print Preview. I checked its available in Desktop version & Viewer but why its missing in Plus??? Is there any specific reason for not providing this feature for plus or its just a forgotten issue?? Though oracle says that Plus is more powerful which is true in some cases.
We are working on Disco 4i.See Ch 18 Printing worksheets and graphs of the Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus User's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), Part No B13915-04.

Schedule broadcasting issue after SP 17
Hi,
When I schedule a broadcasting in BI, users are not receiving the report via email.
We just apllied SP 17 and before that broacasting was working fine.
Please you help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks.Hi Cesar,
As far as I know about BI Broadcasting the SMTP setting are done on BI side not at the portal side. Please check the BI Portal Integration setting and SMTP setting again.
The following document might be of some help

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ef/4c0b40c6c01961e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Also schedule a fresh broadcast and check.

Hi all,
We are having a scenario where user will get some error reports through broadcasting once in a week. Last week, the same error report is going to the users multiple times. Is there any way to restrict the report to be sent only once to the user? I mean if any setting to be done, please guide me.
Regards
VijayHi Vijay,
Check if some users may be selected multiple times in different user groups.check the multiple broadcasted timings for any user and find out the reason. Also check if the broad casting is happening through process chain/manual.
Also check this broadcasting settings.

Information Broadcasting issue
Hi,
I have a BW query which is automated to run in background through Information Broadcasting to send the report to couple of users.
The query 'A' runs for 3 hours in Production , it used to run fine. There were no changes done to the Broadcaster settings.
The only thing that was changed is only this query 'A' used in a single process chain, later a new query 'B' is added to process chain run in background thru broadcaster. The queries run thru RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER in the process chain , and I tried the same running manually.And it returns the result only when I run around 15:00:00 in the evening.
The next day or 2 onwards this query 'A' runs for 3 hrs but never sends an email. But query B also runs for 3 hrs but sends an email.
I have trouble shooted this in the following way:
1) The process chain runs through BATCH ID which also runs similar process chain for other region and it works fine. So it is not BATCH ID issue.
2) New information broadcaster settings were created and then ran. it never sent a mail. so not problem in broadcaster settings.
3) Checked SCOT transaction to see the mail is transmitted or not. there is no sign of the emails pending for the query A.
4) If i run this in morning or noon or even 14:59 PM it never sends the mail. ONLY at 15:00:00 when run it sends email .
5) there is no flaw in the report A as it returns the results in email at 15:00:00 run but not prior to that..
6) There is nothing in the setting that this has to run only at 15:00:00 time.. and it runs fine at that time and sends email
All priorer runs it runs for 3hour but never sends an email.
I need some experts help on this. Did any one experience this kind of issue.
Could some one tell me any other check points..pointers..etc.
Greatly appreciate your help on this.
ThanksHi Ragini,
Is there any setting based on SCOT Transaction for delaying e-mail broadcasting ?? check numbers for parameter "Maximum waiting time for repeat send attempt procedure" ...
Also some times mail server queues mails for some time and then sends in bulk .. Just check with admin guys ..
Above could be one of the reason for not getting broadcasting till certain time .
Also there is a program called "RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINT" link
"http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8a/e2fd3f2c14e769e10000000a155106/content.htm
which is used to preset the times for broadcasts. ..
Just check in SM37 if some job using same program has been defined over there ...for time 15:00:00
Hope that helps.

When I execute a broadcast of workbook, the popup window with url http://<appserver>/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/Misc/PleaseWait.html comes up and it remains open and blank without executing the broadcast. This has worked before. When it works, the pop up window gives a detail log of the broadcast.
Has anyone experience this problem?
Thanks,
MarioHave you checked transaction rsprecadmin to see if your precalculation server is offline?

SAP BI Workbook Broadcasting in PDF
Hello Experts,
We are having a requirement to broadcast the Workbook in PDF format.
Is it possible to broadcast workbook in PDF? How?
Currently we are having SAP BI 7.0.
Thanks in anticipation!!!!
Bhavin VyasHi Bhavin,
You can broadcast to PDF from query designer, not from workbook. Try in that manner and convince your business people as we have only this facility.
If its a matter of small workbook, try to do it via direct mail by converting in to pdf.
Have a look at Urgent!- Broadcasting workbooks to pdf format
Hope helps- Kumar
