Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 PDF not Configured for Web Server

I have installed EPM 11.1.2.1, and HFM, Planning, Essbase, Financial Reporting are all working fine except when I do a report preview in the Workspace an error is received that PDF has not been configured for this Web Server.
I have uninstalled PDF and Financial Reporting then re-installed them but I am still getting the same error. Also, I when I tried to view report from Workspace in Financial Reporting Studio, I received the following error:
error number 400 Error Description:Form already displayed; can't show modally. Function: ShowMsg. Module:GblMethods.
Your help would be gracefully appreciated.

You should review all installation guides, readmes, and the certification matrix before performing a Hyperion Installation and/or Upgrade.
Version 9.0 of Ghostscript is not supported, install ghostscript 8.6.3 - 32-bit.
From the 11.1.2.1 Certification Matrix: "Either: --Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0 --GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6"     
From the 11.1.2.1 Installation Guide Page 110: "Ensure that a supported 32-bit version of Ghostscript is installed."

  • Financial Reporting Studio is not visible in Start Menu in EPM 11.1.2.2

    Hi
    i have installed EPM 11.1.2.2.0, i tried to login to Financial reporting studio and found that it was not installed. Then i manually installed Financial Reporting studio (V31859-01\FinancialReportingStudio\FinancialReportingStudio.exe). I did not receive any error, but i am not able to view Financial Reporting Studio listed in start menu. Where is Financial Reporting studio? how do i login?
    Thanks,
    Veeru

    The client and server have to be exactly the same version, it sometimes worth downloading FR studio from workspace to make sure you have the same version.
    Otherwise log into Oracle support and search for "you are not authorized to use this functionality", you will see lots of results which should help you resolve the problem.
    Cheers

  • Financial Reporting Studio

    Hi john,
    I have created a Report using Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio.
    I can see the report from workspace.
    From where can a user see the report other than workspace?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can save the report to different folders.
    You can view the report either in HTML format or PDF format.
    Make sure you have installed a 3rd party PDF compiler on the FR machine e.g. Ghostscript
    Either:
    --Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0
    --GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6
    You will also need a PDF read such as adobe acrobat.
    Cheers

  • VBA to pull from Financial Reporting Studio/Reporting and Analysis Framework

    Hi all,
    I just started using Financial Reporting Studio, and I did a lot of research online to try to answer the questions I have below but to no avail, so I'm hoping I can get answers from the experts here.
    1. I was wondering if it's possible to use SmartView VBA to pull a report from the "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel? If yes, how?
    2. When I tried to pull lots of data from "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel using SmartView, it keeps getting the error message "New report failed to insert properly". Is there a way around this? Essentially, what I'm trying to do is pull the Expense data (Actuals, Budget, Forecast) from year 2011 to 2015 (by month) for every department (with each department being on its own worksheet using the split feature). If I reduce the number of departments or columns, it'll work, but when I try to keep everything, it fails.
    Thanks for your guys' help!

    Hi there,
    There is VBA manual for smartiview application however I am not sure that you will be able to automate the retrieve of a report.
    Check chapter 19 of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user.pdf

  • Excel R&A Import - Freeze Headers in Financial Reporting Studio don't work

    Our users like financials in Excel and fully formatted to their liking so we create the template in Financial Reporting Studio and then import the template via Excel through Workspace via Independent Provider Connection. If the certain grid template in Financial Reporting Studio was set to several "pages" to produce, all the pages will popup on separate tabs in Excel. My question is, for each "page" which populates info on one tab in Excel, when printed, could be several printed pages long so the column headings don't reprint. I can manually set up Excel to reprint the column headings but since we produce thousands of reports with various templates, we don't want to run too many macros all the time. I know the export in PDF from Workspace will freeze the headers because I froze it on the template in Fin Rptg Studio, so how come the freeze headers don't translate in Excel?

    Actually that's what I thought so that I won't have to run the config utility for a client install. When I did the Typical installation it gave me an option at he end of an install to run the Config utility or not.
    As far as the registery cleaning is concerned, there are probably 100 entries all over the place. Pain the neck but I guess that would be my only option here.
    With the vpd.properties file, I can definitly say that in 9.3.1.3 it is there. I have the same version installed on my machine and I have the vpd.properties file.
    So, I think the bottom line would be to uninstall everything related to Hyperion.
    Clean the registery for all Hyperion entries.
    Reboot and reinstall.
    Thanks for the reply though.

  • Financial Reporting Studio crashes after we upgraded frm 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1

  • Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin documentation?

    I'm very troubled with the way how Oracle sets up its website and naming. Sorry for venting a bit
    But it's absolutely frustrating when people stumble upon this section
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/overview/index.html
    and don't know where to look for a specific application.
    Anyway, my question is, where is Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin guide located? which section?
    I tried to google but no result.
    Thanks for reading.

    @Jeo123:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html
    The first link you listed doesn't include Financial Reporting Studio. That's exactly my problem. Most clients I work with have Essbase, Planning, EPMA, and FRS. These are the 4 basic components of Hyperion system.
    @RaulRodriguez:
    The reporting piece is under reporting and analysis:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_4.htm
    Thanks.....I actually found that on Google. But unfortunately, I'm on 11.1.2.1. And Oracle's site doesn't have a section set up for 11.1.2.1 like they do for 11.1.2.2. And the problem I have actually goes back to using "Usage Tracking" and setting up through BI+ server that you suggested last time. Since you said that certain method can only be done that way on 11.1.2.1, so I was looking for that doc. Otherwise, I could've used 11.1.2.2 instead.
    Bummer.

  • Error  while logging in to Financial report studio

    Hi,
    while logging in to Financial report studio i am getting this error
    Could not connect to server : Server name
    please make sure that the server is running as specified in the logon dialog(including port number if not default)
    can any 1 help me in this ??????

    for my response i will make the supposition you are trying to connect to an HFM data source to pull data for your reports, lets call it HFMCLUSTER.
    in order for your reports studio to gain connectivity to the HFMCLUSTER data source, you will need to first install the HFM Client on the same machine, along with the ADM driver for connectivity. After it is installed, register the HFMCLUSTER using the Server and Web Configuration Utility (the only tab that will be available will be the Server/Cluster Registration)
    You then enter the name of one of the servers, or the server, that is being used as the HFM server, the cluster name will then appear. Click the "Enable DCOM" button to the right, hit apply, and you're done.

  • Financial Reporting Studio Problem...

    Hi John,
    that my Variance problem was solved with the help of the last post, I created one Report in Financial Reporting Studio. But when I want to Web Preview for the report in Workspace I get the following message-
    *5200: Error executing query: Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.com.hyperion.planning.olap.NoAvailableOlapConnectionsException*
    Then I thought of trying Print Preview which threw the same error.
    What needs to be done John?? I restarted all the services and Essabse as well. But nothing helped.
    Please advise.

    John. I am sorry to ask this, a different question. Actually I just faced a severe problem while trying that report issue. I give the details below-
    I created one group and assigned it only Dimension Editor and Application Creator roles. And further created one user and put it into that group.
    Next created one application(*TestApp*) in Workspace yesterday. Now as I faced the FR issue and according to you I created one application(*app*) in Workspace, this time with admin(as you told) and tried to create report and eventually failed which wrote in one but last post.
    Then according to your last reply I restarted the services and and entered the Workspace with the new user. But here comes the problem, I can't see my application that I had created under this user. All I could see is the application that I had created using admin(for trying the FR issue).
    I mean... I am very confused.... created one application with a new user, but it got replaced by an application that was created with admin, and with a different name.
    But I still can see the database in EAS and it is intact. And when right click on the TestApp and see the User/group access, I can see admin and that new user.
    John pls don't get angry... I know it's a different issue.
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Error message when logging into financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3

    I receive the following error message when I attempt to login in to financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3:
    "You are not authorized to use this functionality. Please contact your administrator."
    I'm attempting to login with the default "admin" user that appears to have been automatically provisioned with all user rights.
    I see the following error message in FRClient.log (on the client):

    The server components (foundation, fr server, essbase) are on a linux machine and fr studio (along with the common foundation files) are installed on a windows machine.
    The fr_configcache.properties file does not exist on the client but it does on the server.

    I tried copying the file fr_configcache.properties to c:\hyperion\products\biplus\lib and this got rid of the error message that shows up in FRClient.log but I still receive the same authorization error message in the GUI.

  • Does Financial Reporting Studio need to be uninstalled before patching?

    Hi Guys,
    Moving forward on my patch plan, I am stuck again, this time with the ambiguity in the documentation. I am trying to apply the Financial Reporting Patch 13997553. While going through the documentation, I found two ambiguous statements. In step2, the doc says that I need to uninstall the FR studio (Doesnt say on which machine I need to uninstall). Later in step9, it says, on FR studio Machines, uninstall the FR studio.
    As per my assumption, in step2, I have to uninstall it from the Server and in Step9 I need to unistall it from my local machine. But the document never talked about re-installing the FR studio on server. What am I missing here?
    Help appreciated. Thanks!
    Here's part of readme which confused me -

    “For WebSphere deployments, you must use EPM System Configurator to redeploy the Web application.”
    9. On the Financial Reporting Studio machines; Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
    10. Connect to the EPM Workspace machine that was patched in Step 3. Download the Financial Reporting Studio installer from the EPM Workspace menu: From the Tools menu, select Install and then select Financial Reporting Studio and then launch the installer. Follow the installation guide to install the Financial Reporting Studio to the location you want.
    11. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.

    You will find that it is installed by going to the start menu - Oracle - Financial Reporting StudioSo if i got you right,
    -I need to uninstall the FR studio from all the machines (including the server).
    -Apply the Patch.
    -Install FR studio back again
    And this whole process has nothing to do with Financial Reporting Web App.

  • Help creating a report with Financial Reporting Studio.

    Hi,
    Im new at Financial Reporting Studio so my question might be something very easy, for beginners.
    Im trying to create a report with two columns where in each column there is the year dimension. In the first column there is the current POV for year, but in the second column I would like to set the prevoius year of the POV automatically, without using a prompt. Is there any function or way to do it?
    Tanks foy yuour help!
    Edu

    Use the relative function.
    The first column will be set to use the User POV.
    For the second column... see the tab named "Functions". Select the function "RelativeMember". For the Member row - select User POV. For the offset enter -1... that will automatically select the prior year.

  • Problem about financial reporting studio(assign multiple db connection)

    Hi,
    I need to assign multiple database connections to a grid in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio
    To do this, I performed the following steps:
    - Open a report.
    - In a grid, select one column for which I want to change the database connection.
    - In the Column Properties sheet, click the Select Database Connection button, .
    - In the Select a Database Connection dialog box, select a database connection from the Database Connection drop-down list, then Click OK.
    - In the Map Dimensions Between... dialog box, map dimensions between the default database connection and the selected database connection. I do this by selecting a dimension from the pull-down list in the right column for each dimension in the left column.
    - Optional: Select an alias table for the new database connection.
    - Click OK.
    But after last step I have received next error:
    *; nested exception is:*
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    Can someone explain the source of this error?
    And help me please solve this problem because I didn’t receive figures in that column where I changed database connection.
    Thank you in advance!

    I'm sure that both DB connections has the same dimension hierarchy. I can open the repot, but in it I don't see figures in that column where I've changed database connection...

  • Financial reporting studio - Invalid Picture

    Hi;
    I am trying to add a new logo into one of our reports (Oracle Hyperion Financial reporting studio, Fusion Edition), however after inserting the new image I get the following error message " Invalid Picture".
    I have changed the format of the picture (jpg, gif, bmp, png) but nothing seems to work.
    The size of the file is just 22k.
    Thanks heaps;
    Merv

    no,
    I get the error message when add the image (Inser-> Image) on the header area.
    Once I save my changes (after getting the error message) the preview only shows a little box with the word image and the letter X (Image x) where the picture supposed to be.
    The rest of the report looks ok.
    It is like the picture is there but the system cannot read it or something.
    This is an existing report which already had a logo, I deleted the existing Logo as I am trying to replace it with the new one.

  • No sync between Financial Report Studio repository and planning

    Hi,
    I have a problem in Hyperion Planning 11.1.3 when I am trying to open reports that are either in Explorer or in a task list linked by a smartcut. An error (#2108) occured saying that the object I am trying to open is not in the repository. I am using Financial Report Studio 11.1.1.3. to create reports.
    Does anyone have an idea of why I am getting that error?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    This is a known issue and there is no solution yet as far as I'm aware. It happens when you open a report using different user names on the same PC.
    The solution is this, log off from workspace, clean internet explorer caches (including temp files). shut down internet explorer and try openning the report again from workspace.
    Obviously, you need to repeat this steps everytime you face the issue.
    Cheers,
    Alp
