Adding Disclaimer to all Financial reports

In all our Financial GL and AP reports we want to add a Disclaimer text on the first page of the report. Is there any way we can add the Disclaimer without modifying each report in Reports Builder. Also modifying core GL, AP reports using report builder may not be a good idea, as it will be issue with maintainace during patching and upgrades....
Any brilliant ideas......?

you may try to put the Disclaimer text into one report and let all reports needing the Disclaimer call it, srw.run_report(...).
I never do it though.

Adding disclaimer to all outgoing mail

I would like to start adding a "disclaimer" or signature to the bottom of all outgoing mails
eg
Please note that the contents of this e-mail, including any
attachments etc etc etc
Is there a way of configuring postfix to do this for me without corrupting the outgoing mail.

There is no easy and, most importantly, reliable way of doing this at the postfix level. Full stop!
If you need this to be done, you have to do it at the client level (mail.app, squirrelmail, outlook, etc.).
For the technically inclined: An e-mail written by a user on the mail client can be plain text, images only, html, contain attachments etc. Thus it is encoded (mime) and passed on to the MTA (postfix). To be able to add a footer at this stage, the MTA would have to decode the mail message, add a footer and re-encode the message. Besides the technical implications it will also be a performance hit on your mail server. Furthermore, chances are your mail will get messed up in the process.
Look at the source of an e-mail with let's say attachments in Mail.app (View-Message-Raw Source) and you will notice that except for the headers, what follows is mainly gibberish (that's the mime encoded bit).
For the not so technically minded and a good laugh, see here:

Enter/View comments using Financial Reporting.

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to have comments written using Financial reporting.
Example:
I have created a FR report for budgeting. I would like to have users provision to enter thier comments. the comments could be another grid or another section in the report.
This is something like annotations in Hyperion Planning. Unfortunately, we don't use Hyperion planning to retrieve annotations to FR.
Any workarounds or inputs on having commentory is welcome.
Cheers,
Satya.

Hi Satya,
There is a new feature in v11 that allows you to add annotations / comments to a Financial Reporting report. It seems to be similar to cell text function in essbase but if you are on this version it is worth investigating to see what can be achieved.
If you are using a version earlier than this, i.e. v9.3.x or below then I am not aware of any way of adding comments directly to Financial Reports although if you use Hyperion Planning it is possible to pull Supporting Detail or Annotations into FR reports. There are a couple of other options available to you:
1. One of the sample Web Analysis reports does what you are requesting, it has one panel containing a grid report and another panel containing comments that can be added to / amended by users.
2. You could pull the FR report out into MS Word using SmartView
Hope this helps

Financial Reporting: Current Month vs Prior Month Variance for all Entities

Silly/Easy Question:
How can I set up a grid in Hyperion Financial Reporting to show these columns for all entities- Current Month NIBT, Prior Month NIBT, Variance
So, the report would look like:
Florida Current Month, Florida Prior Month, Florida Variance...Georgia Current Month, Georgia Prior Month, Georgia Variance...Ohio Current Month, Ohio Prior Month, Ohio Variance
All I can get it to do at present is:
Florida Current Month, Georgia Current Month, Ohio Current Month, Florida Prior Month, Georgia Prior Month, Ohio Prior Month, etc.
Thanks!
Note: we have many entities, so hard coding them in the report is out.

Update: been working with Oracle dev on this. Seems FRS cannot produce a report such as this:
----------Entity-----------------------------------------Entity-----------------------------------------Entity
----------Curr Mo - Prior Mo - Variance----------Curr Mo - Prior Mo - Variance----------Curr Mo - Prior Mo - Variance
Account
Account
Account
Account
Account
The data can be extracted in other layouts, but this is one we'd like to utilize for Balance Sheet Variance analysis and Tax ETR reports.

Anyone else checked their financial reports yet? Mine are all wrong?!

Hi everyone...
the first finacial reports are coming in and I had a quick look at them.
In my reports the total units sold just don't add up to the units previously reported. There is a gap of 10-30% missing units How can this be?
Furthermore, the report for Europe lists all the same countries as the "rest of world" like Russia and Croatia...
This seems like it's going totally wrong here...
Anyone else who can confirm this?
Best regards,
Markus.

Brent,
this sounds like a good point. I've never thought of that! To me, this sounds pretty plausible...
As for the hard copy invoices: I received an e-mail today that we in fact have to send a paper invoice. It was no mistake or joke. Got something to do with tax-regulation inside the EC. Here's the text from my e-mail:
<cite>
VAT invoices are required by your government's tax authorities, and not from any requirement of Apple. To be paid for Europe, you need to send two invoices, one for GBP and one for EUR in the amount indicated on your Financial Reports.
You may send a soft copy of the invoices by email to iTunes Royalty at [email protected], but we must also get a hard copy due to VAT regulations in some countries. It is important that the billing address stated on the invoice is Luxembourg but the address you post the invoices to is Ireland.
Billing Address:
[snip...same adresses as in the other posts]
All invoices for GBP and EUR sales have to be stated at 0% VAT.

Markus.

Adding Corporate E-Mail Disclaimer to all outgoing email

I need to configure our mail server to add an E-Mail disclaimer to all outgoing email. Can someone point me to the relevant documenation or assist me with this request.
We are running Sun Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.11.
I should state that I am a novice with Messaging server.
Thanks

Hi,
You can start here:
http://blogs.sun.com/factotum/entry/messaging_server_and_email_disclaimers
Also note the version of messaging server you are running is extremely old, you should be looking/planning to upgrade in the near future. Version 6.3 adds milter capabilities, which if you were running this version the following document would be relevant to your request:
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Add_Footer_to_All_Outgoing_Mail
I should also add that Messing Server is not for the faint-of-heart (it's complex) so I recommend you try and get some training on the basics at least.

Shane.

Financial reporting 11 1 2 2 Access issue for a user

Hi All,
I have a report designer group for Financial reporting 11.1.2.2. I have created a group called FR_GROUP in HSS and provide them the report designer access and added three MSAD users.
Now as admin we have a created a folder in workspace called FR and gave the group FR_GROUP Full acces to this folder FR.
Now the issue is the MSAD user who created the repot in FR folder can see the reports and open them and also the admin user but the other two MSAD users cant see the reports.
Any ideas how to fix this access issue?
Thanks,

Hi,
Try provisioning the FR_GROUP with Explorer role. Just in case here is the whole list of Reporting and Analysis Roles:

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.
Thanks,
Naresh.

Financial Reports and Essbase Dimenisons

Hi,
I am new to Hyperion. We are working on static reports using Financial Reports. Currently we have 122 static reports.
But now the application requires adding new dimension to the Essbase schema. Will adding new dimensions affect all the existing reports? I mean will it require to redevelop all the reports? It will be a great amount of work and downtime will affect our production.
Will appreciate help on this.
Thanks,
KK

But now the application requires adding new dimension
to the Essbase schema. Will adding new dimensions
affect all the existing reports?I don't use the Hyperion Reports product but have used Essbase for about 12 years. Anytime you add a dimension to an Essbase database, you will have work to do on the reporting side as Essbase essentially stores data at the 'intersection' of a member from each dimension in the database. At the least, you will have to add the dimension member to the report.
There is, however, one exception to the rule and that is if the dimension you add is an 'attribute' dimension. Attribute dimensions are treated as 'optional' dimensions for reporting and thus, if the dimension you added is an attribute dimension, you should not have to modify your reports.

Financial Reports member addition

Gurus,
I have a financial report created based on an essbase cube which has five members NY, CA, DE, MN, and CO. Because these are the members I had these are the members that I see in the Financial reports page. However, now I have just added a member called NJ which is a sibling of these members mentioned above. Now, I want this member also to be included in Financial report. Does it automatically get transfer as these are all the children of a member called STATE? OR do i need to manually add it. What is the way of doing it. Any suggestion would help.
Thanks

Hi Mehmet,
I added the member in essbase cube, and now I can see it in Financial reporting. I have tried to open the related reports in workspace as we create batches to run some of the reports, however, the numbers corresponding to the newly added member does not seem correct. They do not add and something like that What could be the reason. Do i need to wait a while or is there anything else I need to do in Essbase or Planning or Financial reporting studio? Some reports are from one database while others are from a different database. So any advise or help is appreciated.
Thanks

Financial Reporting Books Table of Content

Hi,
i've created a financial reporting book and i want to/have to insert a title page (pdf file). The table of content is always created in front of this title page. I tried to modify xml statements in the book file but there isn't a setting which defines the order of Table of Content and the other included book files. Does anyone know if there is a command to do that. Or is there somewhere some kind of style sheet where the table of content is defined?
At least i would like to insert a Logo into the table of contet.
Thank you for your help
Best regards
Tim

After looking at this a bit more, this may or may not work so we might need to get dirty on this one .....................
Some clues can be found here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bip-bookbinding-176639.pdf
Looking at Page 7, it should be obvious that we can add additional deatils to the reports, including cover pages.
Though, after looking at Page 8, I think I may have you slightly in the wrong direction. toc-template appears to simply cover the commands for the table of contents and there is another template to control everything. But is that file visible to edit?
If you run FRConfig.cmd, you can find more clues.
Go to the MBeans tab, expand com.hyperion, then expand Financial Reporting, and Attributes.
The two attributes that immeidately jump out are TextPrintTemplate and BookTOCPrintTemplate
- TextPrintTemplate is the FR_TextTemplate.doc file in <<EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>>/products/FinancialReporting/bin/ folder
- BookTOCPrintTemplate is the toc-template.rtf file previously discussed.
Once again, though, the other template exposed to us is most likely just driving the content and is not at a high enough definition level for this to work how you want it to.
I would say to use the example in the PDF and try adding that to the table of contents page before it does all of the loops. Perhaps it will work from there, perhaps not.
If that doesn't work, Thursday we can attempt to drill into this more.

SSL error logging into Financial Reporting Studio

We are using Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1, patch 120. We terminate SSL at a load-balancing appliance, therefore, none of the Hyperion services have SSL enabled.
Users were able to log into Financial Reporting Studio (FRS) using https://servername:port successfully until we installed a new digital certificate in the virtual IP on the load-balancing appliance. Now when the users try to log into FRS, a SSL handshake error is written to the client log file. See below for full error.
We have restarted all Hyperion services and verified that browser access to the EPM environment is working using https. We also tried uninstalling the FRS client and reinstalling, but get the same error.
The original digital certificate was not imported on the Hyperion servers or client machines. The new digital certificate has not been imported either.
Oracle Support said that we need to create a keystore file on each client machine and import the new digital certificate.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or can explain why we would need to import the new cert on each client, when we never had to import the original cert on the client?
We also verified that if we revert back to the original cert on the load-balancer, the users can log into FRS.
Thanks,
Robin

still no answer from Oracle Support as to why it was necessary to do this for the new certificate when we did not have to do this for the original certificate.

Financial Report Template- Calculation error

Hi All
I have developed a template for Profit and Loss Statement by using
Financial report Template
Under operating expenses heading i am having following heads
F&B consumption
Non-F&B Consumption
Gas Fuel ...
Operating Expenses value i am getting is wrong due to the following reason
F&B consumption calculates ( F&B consumption= F&B Opening Stock+ F&B
Purchase- F&B Closing Stock)
I need to add a formula to find F&B Consumption that is coming under F&B
Consumption head
Non-F&B consumption calculates (Non- F&B consumption= Non-F&B Opening
Stock+ Non-F&B Purchase- Non-F&B Closing Stock)
I need to add a formula to find Non-F&B Consumption that is coming under
Non-F&B Consumption head
For calculation from the system
In the present calculation the Operating expenses is derived by adding
the closing stock value as just an other expense head instead of
subtracting the same and also by ignoring the subtotal which actually
refers to the calculation (Consumption=Opening stock+Purchase-Closing Stock)
Calculation Expecting
We need the Operating expenses to either consider the subtotals to add
for the expenditure or the closing stock value needs to be reduced from
the Expenses.
Please help to solve the issue
Regards
Rashid

This error usually means the workspace agent is not up and running or can't be connected, are you sure that workspace is definitely up and running and you can log into workspace.
