Financial Reporting - Planning 11.1.2.1 Data Source

We are trying to do salary planning, specifically new hire planning at an employee level. Is it possible to have an account of data type text that users could input into a form, and then build reports in Financial Reporting Studio that would display that text? I know there is an ADM driver that allows Financial Reporting Studio Data Sources to use Planning as a data source, but I wanted to survey for input on if and how well that works.

That's exactly what I did last year. Business wanted to see the Job description (they entered it on the form) of the new hires in a report.
In Workspace, create a Planning datasource and when you create your report, map your report to the Planning datasource.
You just need to login to Workspace > Explore > Tools > Database Connection Manager > New > Select Planning as the Type.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc from a list of databases the user can choose from.
at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
the connection string is at present Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
and in an expression it is as such
=Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

Hi Leslie,
Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
Create report with static database.
Change data source to report parameter.
Send new database connection string as a report parameter.
More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

Crystal Reports with Graphical Linking on Multiple Data source

Hello
I have a report which uses graphical linking on 6 tables/views which acts as the data source.
4 are on HANA and 2 on a legacy system.
Record selection filters are applied to filter data.
Report's performance is incredibly slow on running for higher date ranges even for less than a month bringing back < 10000 records.
Please suggest any tips to improve this.
already tried below :
Checked no printer option
Removed Page N of M control
Changed Order links to pick small tables first
Crystal Reports 2013 connecting via ODBC to HANA and legacy
-Jayakrishnan

Hi Jayakrishnan,
When you join tables from multiple datasources, CR processes the joins and any record selection criteria locally. This is what slows down the report.
The only way to speed up performance is to have all the data atleast come from the same database or even better, creating a view that has all the required tables and joins.

How create animated power view reports using sharepoint list as a data source in sharepoint 2010?

Hi All,
I got a client requirement to create reports using SharePoint List as data source. The report should show reflection depends on values changed (I mean animation).
I have heard about the power view/power pivot which does this kind of animations in reports.
Can someone please guide me on creating reports which shows animations
In power view/power pivot using SharePoint List as data source in SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.
MercuryMan

Hi MercuryMan,
Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
decision makers, and information workers.
Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
site.
To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/07/11/excel-services-using-a-sharepoint-list-as-a-data-source.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230322.aspx
To create a Power View report based on PowerPivot model, you can refer to the following links:

Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 "Configure Data Sources" freezes at Essbase conf

Hi!
I am setting up a demo environment of Hyperion Planning for one of our customers (my first time installing this application). The platform is Windows Vista Business 32-bit. RDBMS is Oracle 10g on another machine. I've successfully installed Hyperion 9.3.1 Shared Services, Essbase, Essbase Admin Services and Planning application.
I've successfully configured all the applications (with the Configuration Utility) besides Hyperion Planning. I can access Workspace, User Management Console, Essbase Administration Services (and connect to my localhost Essbase server from there), etc - thus I believe that the installations and configuration of these modules is successful.
When I try to finish my Hyperion Planning configuration with the utility, the last step is to "Configure Data Sources" (previous configuration steps including "Product Instance Registration" were successful).
I start the configuration utility, select the properties, enter the Oracle db connection properties (no error there), then enter the Essbase connection properties (the same which enable me to add this server in the Essbase Administration Services, view and start applications, etc) and the installer just freezes.. hangs indefinitely..
Server: localhost
uid and password are the ones I provided during essbase installation/configuration
I've tried this configuration step multiple times, I've restarted the machine. The maximum time I've waited is ~30min.
Questions:
# Is it normal for the Essbase configuration page to freeze after clicking "Next" for 30min (maybe I'm just impatient, I'm new to Hyperion)
# What could be wrong?
# How could I see the error message - is there an error log somewhere?
Many thanks for your time.

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

Crystal Reports Developer Edition XML or Java data source

Is there a way to use XML or custom Java objects (POJO) data source in Crystal Reports Developer Edition ? Currently Crystal Reports is being invoked as API from an existing code. But that code can be modified if need be.

Hello Jayashree,
please see a sample for CR 08 with XML as datasource [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006016532008E/XML_datasource.zip].

Report Builder - Unable to connect to data source

When I attempt to connect to the data source in Report Builder 3.0 with CM 2012, I receive the following error message: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider,
error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)
Any suggestions on how to help?

You also need it on the client machine running report builder. Here's the instructions I sent my DBA:
Start>run>mmc>file>add/remove snapins>certificate>Computer Account>Local Computer>Certificates>Personal>Certificates>Issued to: Name of server
Look at each cert. On the 3rd tab (Certification Path) it should say “ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification
Certificate”. Export that cert.
Then on the machine running report builder, import the certificate to the local computer trusted root.
Perfect ... Finally following this instruction solve reporting connection error and reporting services is now running perfectly.

Financial Report - planning user security

Hi,
We created FR reports that have Entity Dimension as a prompt on report page. Datasource is planning application and users have been provisioned to be able to read only their own entities in planning. Hoever, when they run reports and select the entity they have access to reports run fine, if they select anything they don't have access to the report just runs forever. Is this the expected behaviour? How can we get the prompt to say that they don't have access to an entity they have selected?
Thanks

I usually set Point of View (under one of menu) of one of all report for each user from FR studio. It will restrict user to select some other entity on prompted options. I don't understand about this, but it's work by setting a report and all report would follow the prompted options. I give access to each user to login to FR Studio then set Point of View for each user. After that take the access and give a normal access as viewer.

Error while designing Deski reports using excel 2010(xslx) as data source

Hi All
We are using BOXI R3.3 on Windows 2003 Server.
When we are trying to create DESKTOP INTELLIGENCE REPORTS using EXCEL 2010(xlsx) format prompting with below error.
"Cannot update.Database or object is read only(3207) "
Could you please clarify whether BOXI supports MS EXCEL 2010 version(xslx) version or not?
If not what is the work around for this?
Regards
bose

Here is what Supported Platforms Guide says : Microsoft Office 2010 (starting with FP 3.4)**
As you are on FP3.3, Office 2010 is not supported in your implementation.
You need to either upgrade, or use pre-Office 2010 formats.

Need to trim decimal Places in data pulled in Financial report

Hi All,
We have a Financial report in which in partcular column, data is being pulled by the formula :
<<CellText("Grid1", Cur, C(A), 1)>>
Some cells in that column contains only text comments, some cells having numbers only.
Issue is with the numbers. Numbers when pulled in FR are being dispalyed upto 6 decimal places, i.e. 1234 is displayed as 1234.000000.
So if somebody can suggest how can we modify the formula so that we can display the numbers without decimal values. i means , numbers being pulled are displayed as 1234 only not like 1234.000000.
Thanks,
Satish

Hi there,
You can use the function Trunc(xxxxxxx, 0) where xxxx is your retrieved value which is considered as numeric.
However, if I were you, I would concentrate on how to resolve the issue with the smartview submission.

One Truth about...

Ports Crystal Reports uses when Connecting to a Universe as a Data Source

I have a couple of Crystal Reports that use universes as a data source. On my Windows 7 machine I am getting an error message that "Logon Failed", rather opening and running the same report on my Windows XP machine, I get the results from the universe as expected. I have tried multiple universes that report against different databases (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, etc) and I am getting the same vague error message on my Windows 7 machine with Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601.
Can someone please tell me what ports are being used within Crystal Reports (other than 6400) when connecting to the CMS and pulling back data from a universe? The odd thing, is that I can connect to the CMS, see the universes that I have permissions too and even see the objects within the universe, but I cannot view the results. This is a pretty high priority for us, so I would appreciate any feedback possible.

Hello,
"Seems contrary to the concept of isolating users (in this case designers) from connection details. I can only be hopeful that report users will not also have to have connections configured on the local workstations to view these reports ;-)"
As long as you use/set Saved Data with the reports then they don't need the client installed. If they hit Refresh to update the data then obviously they need to be able to connect to the data source, how else are they going to get it.
Think about it, you sit down to write a report off of a database you don't have access to? How are you going to create a report....
If you planning on sending out reports for viewing only then export them to PDF or some other type, then DB connections are not an issue, the PDF's are for viewing only.
Another concept is DB Security. Using NT Authentication or DB Authentication unless that user hitting the refresh button has access to the DB it won't prompt for log on info or if they don't provide the correct log on info they can't see new data.
It's all about security, CR does not save the Password in the RPT file, if we did anyone could get it and hack your database.
Not sure what your post has to do with Ports?
If you have questions then please post, in this forum we assume post that are answered are closed.

Not able to edit the report created on different data source.....

I have a query regarding Report in OBIEE - reports developed from BI Publisher are specific to data source on which they have been created ??
i have a sample report that was created on different data source, i have the corresponding RPD also. I changed the data source according to my DB and when i try to update/edit the report,
on Analytics for adding a new column, it is generating a seperate new Query from QueryBuilder for that additional cloumn rather than adding up the new query with the previous one(existing report query). Is it because of mismatch of data source on which report had been created and on which it is being update ?? if it is the case, where do i need to make changes related to JDBC connection or others ??
when i try to create a new sample data set and try to update it, it adds up the extra edited things to original query and works perfectly fine. can ny 1 help me for the same ??

Hi Denis,
Normally,what we do is once we provide access to webi users group for each user from BO supervisor module, user(s) will able to refresh/edit the existing report from Full client BO.His colleagues have had no problem editing all his reports from their machines but he is not able to edit any report from his machine and BO is getting freeze.
He also reinstalled BO and cleaned out everything on his Computer and re-built it but the issue is not yet resolved
Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue
Kind Regards,
Srinivas
