Hello all,
I am looking to find a listing of all of the available Placeholders for BO XI 3.1.
So far, I know about:
%SI_NAME%
%SI_ID%
%SI_OWNER%
%SI_STARTTIME%
%SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%
%SI_USERFULLNAME%
%SI_DOCUMENT_HTML_CONTENT%
%SI_VIEWER_URL%
… but I am looking for others, or any variations of these. Does anyone know of a listing or location I can find any of the other Placeholders?
Thanks much (in advance 
),

Go to the CMC, double click the CMS service and on the right side you will see something call Placeholders.
There you will find all place holders variables defined.

Hi,
A forum member posted one of the Hidden place Holder.

Hi all,
The official word from SAP is, Scheduler Placeholders aren’t very well documented.
However they were able to supply a list of known Placeholders via email.
These are:
%SI_NAME%
%SI_ID%
%SI_OWNER%
%SI_STARTTIME%
%SI_STARTDATE% not documented and unlikely to work, I have tested this placeholder various times and it includes the text %SI_STARTDATE% at the end of the file name
%SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%
%SI_USERFULLNAME%
%SI_DOCUMENT_HTML_CONTENT%
%SI_DOCUMENT_NAME%
%SI_VIEWER_URL%
%EXT%

I’m using XIr2 and I don’t think most of these work 
Does anyone know of any other way I can name an “instance” dynamically? I would like to be able to run a report 150 times (changing a prompt value for each) at various times of the year for promotional events. I have created a calendar so we’ve got the timing sorted, but it would be nice to generate the reports indicating which week and / or event the instance refers to e.g. the report is called “promotional event report” but the instance should say “Summer event report” or “Week 10”.
I dont mind changing the report each time I just dont want to change 150 schedules. I tried changing the properties in the report but unfortunatly, that doesnt change for the schedules.
Any ideas?

%START_DATE% only works for publications

Hello tenather,
How and from where we can define our own custom placeholder’s definition ?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hijack and older thread but %SI_STARTDATE% works in BI 4.1 SP6

Only seems to work for publications though. Regular Scheduling just returns the text “%SI_STARTDATE%”
