Workbooks in reporting agent

Hi friends,
Can we use Workbooks or Views  instead of queries in Reporting Agent. if yes, tell me how can we use.....
with regards,
JD

Hi,
Reporting Agent are used for working with queries and Web templates in the SAP BW 3.x format.
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, the Reporting Agent functions are covered by Information Broadcasting.

  • Format of Reporting Agent Excel Workbooks

    Hi there.
    Is there anyway of customizing the format of the excel workbooks that are produced via the reporting agent?
    e.g. maintaining some sort of template or (ideally) being able to customize individual reports.
    Thanks.
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    You should be able to do this by creating a workbook template. Take a look at the following links:

  • The role of Reporting agent once we have BEx Broadcaster

    Hi all,
    I understand the BEx broad caster does the pre calculation of Web template, distribution by various mechanisms...So in this context, how and when Reporting agents will be necessary ? Can any one give the differences between those two ??
    best regs
    D Bret

    Dave,
    For some time both will be needed. It is true that some things Reporting Agent did, send a report, BEx Broadcaster does better. But certain Reporting Agent features have not migrated yet. Here's how to think about it: If you want to run a query and store the data in a table for later use, you still need Reporting Agent. This covers priming the OLAP cache, Web template precalculation, pre-run Exceptions, etc.
    If you want to present these query results, the means have moved to BEx Broadcaster. That's emailing a workbook, emailing a query result or a link, publishing in the Portal.
    (Not) Coincidentally, the first set of features are mostly or exclusively ABAP-based and the second set is based on NetWeaver Java WAS.
    Hope this helps,

    Varma,
         You should use BEx Broadcaster for this. This will help you in mailing the workbook to the users.

  • Follow Up Actions - Reporting Agent

    Hi BW Gurus,
    I would like to know what are following up action is available in Reporting Agent
    Thank You

    Hi Luis,
    There are 4 steps.
    1) Send Mail- alerts user by e-mail; for example you can send e-mail saying sales qty target were missed
    2) Alert Monitor entry - view results in the alert monitor; you can also give an URL for the alert monitor
    3) Export - Send Data to a work flow for follow up action
    4) RRI Interface - if an exception happens you can jump to another query for a more detailed display using Go To option
    TQ

  • Send mail as follow-up action in reporting agent

    I need to send a mail with the exceptions flaoting from a query. I tried to use the follow-up action of 'send mail' in the reporting agent. that didnt work because in our SAP we're not using the exchange connector and mails cannot be sent in the regular way.
    I have an external command of sending mail.
    Does anyone has a way of solving this problem, meaning, using my external command of sending mail in order to send the mail with the exceptions (this command works just fine in process chains, for example, for notification of process progress)
    Thank You,
    Yoav.

  • Reporting Agent - Print Layout - Issue in Displaying Key Figures in Rows

    Hi,
    We have issue while printing reports using Reporting Agent. As part of Query Definition we have Structure of key figures in Rows. But while creating Reporting Agent , in Print Layout option – Under Table – Rows – we are not able to drag Structure of key fig.
    What could be the solution to this issue. How can we use key figures in rows?
    Thanks in advance.
    Samir

    Hi,
    putting product in the rows will slove the issues as the unit cost  depends upon the  prdoduct and therefore it will uniquely identify each of the material and then it will get multiplies with the qty and therefore you will get the correct result.
    this kind of issue you will always face when you are going to multiply cost with the Qty and as the cost differ with the individual material.
    Also putting material into the rows will cause the no. of rows to increase as all the materials will show up in the individual rows for the particular month.
    Also you can make a claculated key fgure for the multiplication and use before aggregation.
    But for that your both the key figures should be in the same cube i.e. in the same rows or the before aggregation will not work you will not even get an option of before aggregation in the CKF if the key figures belong to two different cubes.
    Since your qty and cost are coming from two different cubes before aggreagtion will not work here.
    And if you do before aggregation then you report will become quite slow as it will do all the multiplication anf then will bring the result.
    So it depends on your requirement and your design how to proceed.
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • Issue with the ROLES in Precalculation of WebTemplate in Reporting Agent.

    HI BWers,
    I am having trouble in understanding the functionality of ROLES and USERS in the Reporting Agent.
    My goal is to pre-calculate WebTemplate,so the users can get the data results based on their ROLES.
    -> When I select ROLES under Authorizations in Reporting Agent; my understanding was it will just pre-calculate the WebTemplate based on Roles. But, when I look at the job details its doing for the Users. I opted for   ROLES because I have 10-Roles and 100-Users, so the job runs for only Roles.
    -> I don't want to select the Users, as it will take longer time and uses lot of system resources.
    Can I just run for ROLES, for that under Authorizations in Reporting Agent do I need to select Precalculate User-Specifically and Select ROLES or just selecting ROLES will do. I tried both, just selecting ROLES is not working and selecting Precalculate User-Specifically & ROLES is not yielding the required results.
    Could you please throw some light on it, I am on BW 3.5 & SP15.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    swordfish.

    Hi,
    If you choose the Precalculate by User option, all the data and HTML pages for the Reporting Agent setting are precalculated for each of the selected users in a single job. This applies in both the cases: Roles or users. When you specify a role after selecting the option 'Precalculate by User', the precalculation will be done for all the users assigned to that role and not the role.
    Roles/Users is just 2 different ways of giving the user restriction. If you specify the roles, the system will precalculate for all the users assigned to the role. If you have few users for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the user IDs. If you have many users assigned to a particular role for whom you want the precalculation to be done, then you can specify the role.

  • Output from Reporting Agent in BW is inconsistent

    Hi,
    I have created a scheduled package of print type in reporting aget. The job runs successfully but once I check the spool in SM37, the output is not corrrect.
    First it writes only characteristics and then below that it writes key figures. Both Char and Key Figures do not come in one line.
    Not sure where have I gone in creating this scheduling package in reporting agent.
    Any help is most welcome.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    You can define threshold values (exceptions) for a query. Data that varies from these thresholds is highlighted in color or marked with icons. You can use these exceptions to identify deviations from expected results at a glance.
    Defining and Changing Exceptions
    1. In the Exceptions screen area, choose New Exception in the context menu. An entry with the default text Exception <Number> appears and you can edit the description directly.
    2.In the context menu, choose Edit. The exception editor appears; it displays the relevant parts for the definition on tab pages.
    You can also call the exception editor from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
    3.      Make the required settings for the definition of the exception. For more information, see Definition of Exceptions.
    4.      Choose OK. You return to the query definition.
    5.      Choose Save Query.
    Removing Exceptions from Queries
           1.      In the Exceptions screen area, select the relevant exception and choose Remove in the context menu.
           2.      Choose Save Query.
    Result
    You have defined or changed an exception for a query. Execute the query. The exception is evaluated online. The cell areas that are affected by the exception appear highlighted in the appropriate color or, where applicable, with icons in Web applications.
    You can display the exception descriptions and activate or deactivate the exceptions you want.

  • Report Agent Precalculation in BW 7.0?

    Hello,
    we are using BW 7.0 Backend, but 3.x Frontends.
    We want to precalculate data - can Report Agent (3.x in RSA1old) functionality be used?
    Or is it mandatory to use 7.0 functionality?
    Your help is really appreciated !
    Angelika

    Not mandatory to use bi7 reporting agent for that
    we could create bw3.5 queries for all the infoproviders who sit in bi7 and hence can use t code RSA1old for reporting agent settings,
    even if u create setting in bi7 reporting agent it will work for 3.5 queries
