2. BI broadcasting doesn’t work and it might be because iView is launched with request method GET and should be changed to POST.
Other terms
BEx Web Analyzer, Broadcast, Email, BI, BW, 2.x/3.x, RequestMethod, POST, GET, Broadcasting
Reason and Prerequisites
BI/BW iView is launched with request method equals to GET and should be changed to POST in order not to loose data needed for broadcasting scenarios.
There Could be other BI/BW scenarios that request to change RequestMethod from GET to POST or vice versa.

Solution
As a work around you can navigate to the PCD location of your BI/BW iView and manually introduce the 2.X/3.X iView property ‘RequestMethod’ and set it to POST via the PCD inspector tool.
To add the property to all BW/BI iViews on your portal go to (via the PCD Inspector):
For BI 7.0 IView:
pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/sap_bi7x_report_iview
For BW:
pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/sap_bw_report_iview
and add the property to the desired template.
Note – If you add this to the template the change will not be overwritten after deployment of new par files or after upgrade.
Fix Description:
The property was added to the BI/BW template under ‘Content – BEx Web Application’ property category with empty value (not GET or POST), which means that the redirect request to BW/BI will be based on the initial request (GET will continue as GET and POST will continue as POST).
Fixed for the following versions:
- NW04s 645 SP20 and above
- NW04s 701 SP05 and above
