EPM workspace 11.1.2.(x) - usage tracking for Financial REports?

hi all!
have a simple question - is it now possible to enable usage tracking in FR objects in Workspace 11.1.2?
could not enable any relevant MIME types, so I guess it is not possible, right?
or can I enable FR MIME types somehow?
many thanks
Michael

  • Defining default value for financial reports display in the workspace (9.3)

    Hi
    I need to change the default value for financial reports workspace preview mode, for every workspace user. It is actually set on html, and I would like to have pdf instead.
    This option can be changed when logged on the workspace, in file->preferences->financial reporting->default preview mode. However I want every user to start with the right settings, so they dont have to change anything manually.
    I have tried to do it with Shared Services : under projects, BI+, assign preferences. From there I can change the default folder and the start page (the general preferences), however I cannot find the options for financial reporting.
    Is there a way to change these values with hyperion tools ?
    If not, is it possible to change it directly in the repository DB ?Thanks and best regards

    We looked at this about 2 years ago - from memory, you can only set preferences when the users are first setup in Shared Services, under the manage preferences section of the wizard.
    I can't remember if there is a settings file you can edit for the default users - i think there is, but again this must be set before users are set up.
    We looked at changing users preferences, but gave up on the idea as all users had been provisioned already :-(

  • Usage Tracking for BI Server Hosting Multiple Repositories

    Hi all,
    I've got my BI Server hosting two repositories:
    [ REPOSITORY ]
    DemoApp1 = DemoApp1.rpd, DEFAULT;
    DemoApp2 = DemoApp2.rpd;
    And started two Presentation Services connecting to these two repositories respectively, and two web front-ends at /analytics and /analytics2 to display the two different catalogs.
    Next, I enabled usage tracking with direct insert to the following physical table:
    PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBIEEREP".""."OBIEEREP"."S_NQ_ACCT" ;
    CONNECTION_POOL = "OBIEEREP"."Connection Pool" ;
    Both repositories has the above physical table and connection pool defined. In DemoApp1.rpd, "OBIEEREP"."Connection Pool" points to a database OBIEEDB1, and in DemoApp2.rpd, it points to a database OBIEEDB2.
    But then the problem occurs. All usage tracking data are inserted to OBIEEDB1 only, no matter which web front-end they are from. I tried removing the "DEFAULT" from NQSConfig.ini, but this doesn't help.
    Is there any way to configure BI Server to insert usage tracking data from /analytics to OBIEEDB1, and those from /analytics2 to OBIEEDB2?
    Thanks very much!!!

    HI Kaphenda,
    That's probably just a side-effect of having two repositories. Keep in mind that having multiple repositories and multiple presentation servers is not support by Oracle, so they were not on the hook to modify the Usage Tracking algorithm to write to two different databases. It seems to me like they either didn't anticipate this scenario, or they didn't want to program for this scenario.
    I don't think you have too many options in terms of making OBIEE insert the traffic logs into the appropriate database. However, once the data has been inserted, you can do just about anything you want to it in terms of ETL, triggers, materialized views, etc.
    Here's what I would recommend:
    1) Have the OBIEE usage tracking information logged into a neutral schema.
    2) Write a materialized view in database 1: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW S_NQ_ACCT AS SELECT * from S_NQ_ACCT@NEUTRAL_SERVER WHERE REPOSITORY_NAME = 'DemoApp1'
    3) Write a materialized view in database 2: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW S_NQ_ACCT AS SELECT * from S_NQ_ACCT@NEUTRAL_SERVER WHERE REPOSITORY_NAME = 'DemoApp2'
    You can specify the refresh frequency of these materialized views to be as frequent as you want. The great thing about this strategy is that you get the best of all worlds. Each database has the traffic information broken down by their personal RPD. But the neutral schema can provide Global reporting across both repositories which can be very valuable itself.
    Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
    Best regards,
    -Joe

  • OBIEE Usage Tracking for the Export button in Dashboard

    Hi All,
    I need to capture how many users are exporting a dashboard report into Excel file. Is it possible by using usage tracking? OIn Usage tracking I understand we can capture the user who lands on the dashboard page, but is it possible to capture who all use the export option in a particular dashboard and download to a CSV file?
    Thank you for your time and help.

    The Report ran successfully in CMC and it already has an instance. Any idea why i coudnt see the Button.

  • Usage Tracking  for BI Publisher

    We need to track Oracle BI EE Suite user's activity. There is Usage Tracking option in exSiebel products making possible to track what and when user did. It's needed to do similar audit for BI Publisher.
    It's works "by itself" for Publisher reports built on top of BI Server infrastructure. Usage Tracking does all the job. But what should we do to audit reports using direct sql requests to the database?
    PS
    We have sucurity model integrated with Oracle BI EE Server

    Here is an interview with Kurt Wolff, which is one of the original OBIEE developers from the nQuire days:
    http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/obibb-%E2%80%93-interviews-kurt-wolff/
    This is particularly relevant of how I feel about OBIEE 11g so far...
    "I don’t really know if there are any new features that are important to me in my current work or not. There may be features that help Oracle sell more product, but that’s different.
    Over two years ago I submitted a list of 20 “little” enhancements that, as someone who on a daily basis worked developing analytic apps with OBIEE, I thought would be really beneficial. They were “little” in the sense that I thought the dev team could knock them all out in less than three weeks’ time. Seriously big impact with seriously little work.
    Instead, we’re getting what appears to be a major re-write of the product, which raises questions in my mind about compatibility, unlearning, and new bugs. What I know about new features – well, they’re not so compelling. Sure, if you have a need to integrate Essbase with your other data, that’s good. But in my present situation, it’s irrelevant, and I’m planning on taking a lot of time to evaluate the new release before moving ahead with it."

  • PDF preview in workspace not working for Financial Reporting

    I have an issue in workspace with doinga PDF preview on a Financial Reporting report. PDF preview works fine via workspace but only FR has the problem, here is the error that is displayed. I am running FR server on AIX and the print servers are on windows platform. We have two installations pointing to same windows box for print server. The 1st if FR for HFM running all on windows, the 2nd is FR on AIX for an Essbase installation. The HFM FR install works great via workspace but the the 2nd produces the following error:
    Error 500--Internal Server Error
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
    We made the port for the print server static(it is normally dynamic) so we could open the firewall port to the print server and have verifed it is open.
    Does anyone have a suggestion of what could be producing the Internal Server Error. I should mention that we use Weblogic for the web deployment of workspace if that should have any bearing on the issue.

    Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

    While configuring the Financial reporting we recieve error as :an unexpected error occured and application will shutdown" after financial reporting Schema configuration step.
    Please let us know if you have any suggestions for the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    The issue might be with some unknown hostname updated in the HSS registry.Not sure whether you have resolved it already but checking the registry.log file in the config logs folder would be a great way to start.

  • UPK Usage Tracking Installation

    Hello there,
    As anyone successfully installed Usage Tracking for PeopleSoft Applications?
    One question please: can someone help me with the Usage Tracking configuration ... actually I've configured it and this is my environment:
    UPK 3.5.1 on PeopleSoft, Oracle 10g. I tried both Standard and Windows authentication but all to no avail.
    The problem is when the users try to login they get an error message .... the player page could not be loaded due to some errors below:
    mscorlib Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\User Productivity Kit\Usage Tracking351\ODS\Content\TEST_FIN_AID' is denied.I'll pretty much appreciate your effort.
    Regards.
    Texas!

    Hello,
    Currently the Usage Tracking server application requires IIS. However, the database associated with the Usage Tracking application server can be installed on a Linux machine assuming the database software itself supports Linux. Please refer to the [UPK Technical Specifications|http://www.oracle.com/applications/tutor/upk-technical-specification-data-sheet.pdf] for a list of support database software.

  • Really weird problem with Usage Tracking!

    Hi guys
    We are running OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5 on Exalytics and allmost all is fine and dandy. We have though one weird problem. When we first enabled usage tracking, we sudddenly got some errors on some of our dashboards, saying that we didn't have the privilegies to create temporary tables. Allright we got our user (which is a shared user) the privilegies to create temporary tables, and the reports with the problems started working again! Awesome! But low and behold - then Usage Tracking stopped working, not a single mentioning in the logfiles about it. Maybe an error or, the acknowledgement that Usage Tracking has started, which is the normal.
    So basically we are running without Usage Tracking because the reports that gives us the problems are deemed more important... which they might be, but thats different story...
    Any ideas to what is going on here? We have collected Usage Tracking data, while the reports were broke, so im quite confident that the setup is correct. But why would it stop, when giving "create table" privilege to our shared user?
    Best regards, Jacob

    What is the setting for UsageTrackingDirectInsert?
    Have you tried chaging the output to file instead of database?

  • Usage tracking in Siebel Analytics

    Hi All,
    We are using Sibel analytics for the reporting on non-siebel database. We tried to implement the Usage tracking for that.
    We have created the table "S_NQ_ACCT" on our dabase and all the settings are done in NQS file.
    But when any report is ran, the usage statistics are not getting inserted in to the table S_NQ_ACCT.
    Thanks all.

  • Usage tracking is severely flawed, $135 of surprise overage!

    Wow, just wow. Apparently, the usage tracking for Verizon is so severely delayed that it's impossible to know how much data you've actually used until the billing cycle ends, which can lead to HUGE amounts of surprise overage! And then Verizon holds you responsible for their flawed system after telling you to use it!
    I'd seen other people post stories of surprise bill charges, so for a while now I've been taking screenshots of our data alerts and My Verizon usage meter just in case. And now, this happened: We ended the billing cycle with somewhere around 19.4 GB out of our 20 used (the number varied slightly between the iPhone and laptop, I've noticed the iPhone tends to update slightly faster), with the intent of getting as much out of it as possible but still leaving cushion as, after all, that number is an "estimate". But when the bill came, not only did it say we had passed our 20 GB limit (as said, My Verizon and the #DATA text messages had said at the end of the day that we still had somewhere around 0.6 GB to spare, which I thought would be more than enough cushion) but we had 8.5 GB of OVERAGE!
    So I opened a chat with a Verizon rep, and we talked about it. At first we thought it was due to a store not backdating a plan change properly, but then we found that... Well, apparently Verizon is absolutely terrible at keeping track of how much data you've used until it's tallied up after the end of the cycle, to the point where relying on it can completely screw you over like this and it's better to manually keep track of each device, and then crunch the numbers yourself. We've been with Verizon for a decade and never seen anything like this... Here's the chat transcript:
    (Chat transcript removed as required by Terms of Service)
    So, now we're going to call financial services and see if anything can be worked out. If it can, and we decide to stay with Verizon, we'll be keeping track of data usage from each individual device and adding it up, which is a hassle, but at least it should work. What's the point of Verizon providing these data tracking tools if they give you false information? Worse, why did they tell us to use them to keep track of our usage, while knowing very well that they don't work?! Do they just want to scam us into giving them more money for tons of data they hide from us until it's too late? Whatever the case, this is terrible.

    It's not false information, it takes a couple of days for the information to be received from other carriers' towers, it is the same as minutes and texts, maybe you should get over it and get a life and stop compaining about your data usage, did  you have this problem 10 years ago, no get over it.

  • Usage Tracking  of Hyperion Financial Reporting

    can anyone tell me is there a way to track reports usage in Hyperion Financial Reporting?

    We are on 11.1.1.3 and we have a scheduled task that runs everyday to track FR Usage. I am not super technical and I am not the developer of this script, but it basically grabs the log file (I believe it is either FRReportSvr or FRUserLogin) loads it into Oracle and parse it. Then we report the outcome on Oracle Application Express (APEX). It basically shows how many people ran which report, when, how many times, etc. We also do ranking of report usage based on periods, so you can track which reports are being used, which report usage has been declining over time, how the newly developed reports have been doing, etc. It is pretty useful.
    Does it sound like something you would develop?

  • Usage tracking in Hyperion Web Analysis

    Hi  All
    Do we have a way to do usage tracking for Hyperion Web anlalysis ?
    Thanks

    I don't think WebAnalysis has a usage tracking. Or I might have overlooked at it.
    Did you tried looking at the WebAnalysis logs after using even tracking (I know that you have it already on for FR )
