Broadcast an Online link to the data.

[Former Member]

hi gurus,

When In Broadcaster, While creating a new setting, say I choose "Online link to the current data", and I send it to the user (I do not schedule it).

Now the user would immediately receive the link to the current data, And tonight there are certain process chain that load data into the infoprovider to which this query is linked.

Here is my question, Say the user clicks on this link tomorrow, what would the user see, (Assuming that the data has successfully been loaded), will he see the new data as well, or will he see the same old data, since the link is the same one.

If he sees the new data, is there a way by which, I can broadcast the user a link with the help of which he can see the old data. any help would be really appreciated.

Regards,

Choose Output format as "MHTML" format and check your data. You can save as a zip file - MHTML. It will have your old data.

If user wants to see the current data you can insert " PR_ONLINE_LINK" Text variable intot the Text.

So now user can have current and historic data.

Hi,

Are you sending WAD report to the users ? If you select Current data , query executed when ever user select that link as per current date(fresh data). In this case report get slowly.

If you select precalculated data,for that you need to schedule that in background . but here user see the old data(not upto date).In this case report comes immediately.

Hi Mr Rao,

The answer you gave has kinda confused me, See I use BEx 3.x, am not using WAD, I am using say a query designer, Now I click on Publish in Broadcaster, I get to the settings page of this query to be broadcasted, I select the Link to the online data option and I execute it. The user who's email address is mentioned, receives the link. He is able to see the complete data till data (There aren't any variables that are set in the query). Now, there is a scheduled process chain that runs tonight and loads data in this infoprovider that this query is linked to. Assuming that the data is loaded successfully, if the user to whom the link was sent, clicks on that link tomorrow, will he see the new data as well, or the old data itself, Can I restrict the user from seeing the new data. This is what I wanna know.
