Schedule a Webi report to multiple folders in BOXIR2 InfoView

[Former Member]

Hi All Expert,

I might need your kind advice on what is the alternative way to do the below in BOXIR2 InfoView.

In my InfoView, i have several sub-folders under one folder. For eg, i have one "Sales" folder which contained multiple sub-folders as "SG", "CHI", "MYS", "JPN" and etc. I have one webi report created which have a country name prompt in the report and exported to each different sub-folders which the report prompt have been selected for each country name before export to the sub-folder. Eg, "SG" sub-folder have a webi report with "Singapore" as country name in the folder. All of the sub-folder's report are using the same webi report design.

My problem now is i need to open each of the webi report in the sub-folder to everytime when i need to perform a schedule or perform changes on the report design. If i have 12 sub-folders, i need to open 12 times to perform changes one by one or schedule the report to run one by one.

Are there any other alternative way to schedule one time then BO will copy the relavant report or instance to the multiple folder?

Appreciated your kind advice.

Regards,

Chee Koon

Hi,

if you ere using Desktop Intelligence or BO XI 3.x I would have recommended to look at the Publication objects. In your case (WebI and BO XI R2) you may ant to consider using the BOE SDK in order to build a java or .NET program that implements the functionality you require.

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

If using Publication in BOXI3.1, does it allow to schedule and run the objects to the sub-folder in InfoView? As i noticed there are only Default Enterprise, FTP, Email and Unmanaged Disk in fact there is no any other destination type being listed.

If using BOE SDK for BOXIR2, can u kindly advise how we should start on this? Does this BOE SDK allow to do this as well?

Thanks.

Hi

a publication object allows you to schedule X webi reports (which reside in several subfolders in your system) at once.

If you want to first to create/overwrite copies of your report in X subfolders and then schedule them all at once then you have to go with the SDK (even in BO XI 3.x)

You can find more information about the SDK here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary
