Difference between Hyperion Financial Reporting version 7.0 and 9.3.1 ?

Hi All,
Can you please difine Difference between Hyperion Financial Reporting version 7.0 and 9.3.1 ?

I migrated from 7.5 to 9.3.1 a couple years back so hopefully this is somewhat helpful.
From a developer perspective, the report designer itself looks about the same. The most annoying changes for me were that they started migrating functionality AWAY from the client program and to the web. For instance, managing security is a pain as it is done through Workspace and it is a bit clunkly. I also ran into some issues where my old report's security information is not visible in Workspace. It is still 'working', but when you view report properties, it shows nothing for who has assigned security. Also, things like deleting/moving reports and creating folders are done through workspace and not the client program. "Copying" can be done through the client program by using "Save As" functionality.
There is a migration tool to move your old stuff to 9.3.1. It seemed to work OK; however, the User Interface was a bit screwy. For instance, it said I was 138% complete when it finished. It copied more reports than it showed as existing.... :)
On the back end, things changed quite a bit. In the older Financial Reports, the report objects existing in a single database table and if you wanted to, you could extract everything from that table. In 9.3.1, part of the information is in Workspace database (i.e. Report names/ID's, security access, hierarchy) and the actual report file itself is stored in a psedo-filesystem under the RM webapp. The names are not user friendly at all and you'll need to XREF from the database to make sense of it. When you finally find the actual report "file", they are compressed/encrypted.
From an end user perspective, things pretty much work the same way as always.

  • Difference between deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format

    Hi All,
    Good Day!!!
    We are frequently encountering report failures in our production environment with the error message "REP-1247: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)"
    But the report executes successfully in the next try and the issue is intermittant. In production the reports are deployed in RDF format.
    So in our test environment we tried of deploying the reports in REP foramat and we cant find any errors.
    Is there Difference in deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format?
    Is there any diffence in execution?
    Your inputs will be much appreciated!!!
    Thanks in Advance,
    JK

    Hi,
    REP is to RDF what FMX is to FMB, MMX is to MMB, etc.
    Only difference here is that if you deploy RDF, not REP, then the RDF is compiled at runtime by Reports Engine and then executed. In other words, if REP is deployed then it is straightway execute.
    That should explain all your observations.
    Cheers.
    PS: Please post Oracle Report queries on {forum:id=84} forum.

  • Difference between refresh of Report in Active Viewer and Active Studio BAM

    We use the Oracle SOA Suite with BAM (on Linux) 10.3.2.0.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. We have made a report with several items and in Active Studio --> Select Report --> Edit mode --> I see the correct values for my report. When I open my report in Active Viewer I see data from yesterday. The report is not being refreshed. How can I change this, what is causing this difference between Active Viewer and Active Studio in Edit mode??
    2. One of my items in my report always gives the message: opening (only in Active Viewer, in Active Studio/edit mode I can see the correct data).

    Is your popup blocker turned off? I can only imaging that the popup blocker may be keeping the Live Data window from appearing and updating the dashboard. Active Studio doesn't do a Live update, but an update on report load.

  • Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio - usage log and exporting criteria

    Hello, is there a way to run a usage log for the reports that we have in Financial Reporting Studio?
    In addition, can I export the report criterias? I'm looking at potentially archiving some reports we have out on the server that is not currently being used. Thanks much!!!

    The FRReportSrv log file under Hyperion\logs\BIPlus gives you the report usage tracking. I am not the developer of our process and I am not techie at all, but we have a process that scans the log files, parses the log files and load it into Oracle. Then thru Oracle Apex, we develop reports to track FR usage.
    I am not sure what you mean by report criterias. Do you mean, for example, if the report is not used for over 5 months, you would like to archive it? If you can create a similar report like the one I described above, then yes, it would help you to determine the idle reports, but I am not sure if you can automatically archive the reports. I think it would have to be manual, where you would use the export function on Workspace to archive your report.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Differences between SAP Retail Store version 4.7 and ECC 6.0

    Hello all,
    Anyone know which are the main differences between these two versions?
    Any gap in the new one?
    Thanks
    Raquel

    Hello Raquel,
    Since 4.7, there were some enhancements with EHP2, EHP3, EHP4, and will there be with EHP5. It is not easy to summarize some years of development in a few sentences. I think it would be helpful to read the release notes, or to read the online help documentation at http://aiokeh.wdf.sap.corp:50000/SAPIKS2/contentShow.sap?_SCLASS=IWB_STRUCT&_SLOIO=008AEF37516FDB2BE10000009B38F842&TMP_IWB_TASK=PREVIEW&RELEASE=6955&LANGUAGE=EN&_SEQNUM=0

  • Hyperion Financial Reporting Configuration Issue

    Hi,
    I installed Hyperion Financial Reporting version 11.1.1.1.0 where the Hyperion Web Analysis and Workspace installed in the same server.
    I am able to open the Financial Reporting Studio but not able to open HFR through Workspace.
    Let me explain you what I did exactly:
    1) Installed Reporting and Analysis( HFR)
    2) Ran the COnfiguration Utility and configured the Reporting And Analysis Server
    3) Checked in Preference to see if Reporting And Analysis is present in the left side, I could see Web Analysis and can create Reports in it.
    Then tried to access HFR through Workspace but not working. I updated Context.properties and set reports to Y and then recycled the services but still no luck..
    Please correct me if I missed anything to configure the HFR.
    Thanks in advance for your help..

    This issue was resolved after stopping the Workspace services and ran the Configuration Utility. Now, able to view financial reporting and web analysis reports in workspace...

  • Differences between Hyperion Workspace, Web Analysis and Financial Reportin

    Hello,
    Can anybody explain me the differences between Hyperion Workspace, Web Analysis and Financial Reporting?
    Thank you

    In real simple terms....
    Financial reporting - Perfect for producing standardised monthly reporting such as P&L, balance sheets etc. Highly formatted, print well in PDF format.
    Web Analysis - Highly graphical, web based analysis tool more suited to dashboards, pinboards etc with slice and dice capability.
    Workspace - Common environment where reporting content in deployed. Users can access web anlysis, fin reports, Interactive reports plus other content through the workspace. It was the start of the 'log on to one place for all reporting' concept instead og logging on to multiple products.
    Hope that helps

  • What is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM

    Hi GURU'S,
    what is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM and when do we choose them.

    On a high level the difference is this:
    1. HFM is best for global collection (collecting data from scattered entities), group consolidation and for easily structuring financial reporting (mainly consisting of financial data)
    2. Planning is best for modeling your business, starting from a demand forecast and arriving to capacity planning and finally to financial statements, by utilizing business drivers (non-financial data like volumes, prices, productivity rates etc)
    Of course, differences may be analyzed at several levels down to technical, but the discussion may turn out to be too long, yet adding little value to the question: "when do we choose the one over the other". Bear in mind that your requirements may turn out that you need both.

  • 5200 : Error in executing  query -- Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Problem in accessing the Hyperion Financial Reports.User is having full access and able to access all the folders except one folder(Legal Folder reports). We are getting 5200: Error Executing the query error. Recently we have upgraded Hyperion to 11.1.1.3 version . Before upgrade user is not facing the problem. After Upgrade user is getting these errors while accessing the reports. we did research and found in "Error 5200: Error Executing Query" When Viewing Financial Reporting (FR) Reports". Is this error is relevant to the Information provided in Metalink and also can you please tell us is there any impact on doing the solution provided in the below. Why is this error is coming is any preferences needs to be changed.Please help us on this.
    Error Description:
    5200: Error executing query
    Servername/ApplicationName/DatabaseName/Error(1007090) Unknown Member name [Current Point of view for years] in Outline Query
    Doc ID 1107142.1:
    Possible Cause 1:
    If members have recently been added, moved, or deleted from the data source, Essbase, HFM, or Planning, the existing User POV records become out of sync.
    The User Point of View record uses indexing to identify the member. If the index changes because of changes in the outline, the User Point of View record no longer points to the correct location in the outline.
    To resolve the issue, you need to run the ManageUserPOV utility on a Windows server that has the Financial Reporting Reports Server, or in a Unix or Linux environment, has the Financial Reporting Print Server installed.
    You will need to provide a BIPlus Global Administrator user ID and password to run the utility.
    The utility will provide the correct syntax to run the command.
    1. In \Hyperion\products\biplus\bin\ManageUserPOV.properties, specify the following parameters:
    a. ReportServer
    b. DatasourceUser
    c. DatasourcePassword
    d. User
    e. Datasource (You can find the datasource in Workspace under Tools>Database Connection Manager in the Name column.)
    2. From the command line, cd to Hyerion\products\biplus\bin
    3. Type in "ManageUserPOV" without the quotes. The executable will read the parameters previously set in the ManageUserPOV.properties file.
