Broadcasting Workbook Error | An active RFC server could not be found

Former Member

Hi All,

I am facing an issue while trying to broadcast(distribute) a workbook. The broadcasting of a query from the query designer works fine. But when I try to distribute a workbook, it throws up the following error. We have used the SMTP method(<i>Using SMTP plug-in</i>) for broadcasting and we know that we can use RFC(<i>Using RFC connection</i>) too. But my question is whether RFC method is a must for workbook distribution.Kindly help me.

Thanking you,

Best Regards,

Manesh

Hi,

Are you using BI 7 ?

Have you configured a Precalculation server in transaction RSPRECADMIN ?

Precalculation servers are basically PC, that are used for their Excel capabilities, in order to produce up-to-date workbooks.

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hello,

I have experienced the same problem. We fixed it with checking and deleting the locks in the lock table. Transaction SM12. After the deadlock being repaired, everything worked fine.
