Security on Essbase with Financial Reporting

I am current working on some improvement of my financial reports on essbase, all running at 9.3.1.
I have some users that I have to setup the meta security on the essbase entity dimension. For example, a user is only able to see the entity East and all the divisions under East; but the same user is not allow even to see the meta-data for other regions, e.g. he/she does not even to know there are some South, Central regions at all. Meanwhile I have some financial reports which include all the regions in the row headers. I would like to user to be able to open this reports and see their own region only, and the administrators can see all the regions.
However, currently when the user (with only East metadata and data security access) got some error message while he is trying to open the financial report (with all the regions listed in the row).
I wonder whether there is any solutions on that. I am thinking the following possibilities:
1. In 9.3.1, is it possible to have the essbase connection userid different from the financial reports userid? I have tried to modify the database connection in the workspace database connection manager, but however, when I check the essbase server log, while I am opening the FR, I still see the FR userid;
2. Any other options that is available in FR, e.g. suppress such kind of errors?
Please advise. Thanks in advance

Hello. Are you using Essbase for financial consolidation or just reporting?

Cannot create an Essbase connection from Workspace

Hi all,
I have a new install and I cannot create a Essbase connection from Workspace. I can successfully create the essbase connection from Reporting Studio but I can't use that connection from Workspace. It seems like Workspace can't connect to Essbase. Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks...

Workspace can connect to Essbase. To connect to Essbase perform the below task:
1) Install Essbase Client on the Server where you have install BI Services.
2) Configure DAS by using Service Configurator.
3) Create an OCE which should connect to Essbase Server.
4) Import OCE in to Workspace. Use this oce to create connection.
Hope this helps you.

Crystal Reports Connection Types

I have a web server that houses a db2 database. For those users who are not on the network, I would like users to run reports from the "cloud" (the internet). Does anyone know how I can do that? What connection type I can use? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Zack H.

Zack,
my team has had a bit of experience doing this and it really depends on your setup.
1) how is your db2 database exposed to the internet when one is off of your network...is it in a DMZ or is it accessible via IP without having to use a gateway like citrix gateway?
if it is accessible via IP have a look at the Wire Protocol drivers made by data direct.
/people/crystalreports.team/blog/2008/08/29/datadirect-odbc-drivers-53--for-crystal-reports-2008
2) how will your users run the reports...as Don mentioned, you have to have a method to serve up the reports first off. or they would have to have a copy of the crystal reports 2008 designer like you do and have a copy of the applicable reports.
the other thing you can look at if you don't have a setup right now is On Demand to host the reports in the cloud
http://www.ondemand.com/businessintelligence/
we have a bunch of machines in a dmz which include businessobjects enterprise to serve up the reports as well as all of the database servers themselves. the reports are accessed by the end users via opendocument hyperlinks and thus secured by infoview. in our case the database itself does not have any open ports to the internet, only infoview does.
i hope this helps out,

Using Planning vs Essbase connection in financial reports

What are the pros/cons of using an essbase connection for financial reporting vs using a planning connection? we are on 9.2.1. using the Financial reporting studio client. These are basic financial reports-cost center expense reports, income statement, revenue analysis, etc.
I notice that when I use a planning connection, I cannot select any attribute dimensions in my financial report.
Also, are there any differences in the security used with a planning connection vs an essbase connection
Thanks
Jeff

-- "I notice that when I use a planning connection, I cannot select any attribute dimensions in my financial report."
you can select any attribute (see WorkSpace->File->Properties->Financial Reporting...)
-- "Also, are there any differences in the security used with a planning connection vs an essbase connection"
there are not big differences.
We use planning for most of our reports. If report is very big (many rows or lines) we use financial report.

Financial reporting database connection type

Hi,
1. what is the difference between using planning and essbase database connection type?
2. FR is able to display supporting detail with the planning connection type?
3. After switching the report to planning connection type from essbase an error message occured
Error executing query: You are trying to open the data form, but cannot because one of the required dimensions is not present in the POV. Possible causes may be that you do not have access to at least one member of a required dimension, or the member selection resulted in no members present. Contact your administrator. Dimension(Scenario)com.hyperion.planning.NotEnoughAccessException
It seems that report is trying to open with POV Scenario set to Scenario (top member) and our user does not have privilege for Scenario member only for its children.
I know i can switch the user POV in preferences to display before report and set up dimensions and it will be stored, but isn't it quite tricky?

You answered your first question. Essbase connection cannot use some FR functions like annotations.
by using annotation function you can show cell notes, planning unit annotation, supporting details
Yes it is little different than a regular Essbase report. You can use ManagePOV.cmd and set User POVs or
Instead of using POV move (scenario in your case) dimension to column and use prompts.

Missing Connection Types in Report Data Source Properties

I am running three installations of SharePoint 2013 with SQL 2012 for Business Intelligence, with Kerberos working.
I have been having intermittent issues with SQL Reporting Services in a multi-server configuration, but finally had it working in all three environments. We discovered many of our issues were caused by master page customizations which we have now disabled
temporarily while we work on function issues.
However, we started having a new problem with Reporting Services on just ONE of the environments, and we are not sure what happened. Most everything appears to still be working, except Reporting Services. I have verified that features are enabled
in both the farm and the site collection, as well as insured managed content types are being allowed on the target document libraries. I also verified the Reporting Service properties and database connections. However, I have found two clear symptoms
which I can find no other information regarding (in logs or in online searches):
1) If we try to create a new "Report Data Source" using the SharePoint UI, it will open a new Data Source Properties window, but in the "Data Source Type" field, there are no values available for me to select my connection type (e.g.,
Microsoft SQL Server).
2) In Central Administration, while administering the Reporting Services Service Application, I can manage a majority of the settings, including System Settings, Manage Jobs, Key Management, etc. However, if I click on the link for "E-mail Settings,"
I get the dreaded "Sorry Something went wrong screen," with an error saying that "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object."
So I am hoping someone has an idea of where I can look for additional information on this issue, or even better, knows what I am missing to get Reporting Services functional again in this environment!
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Elohir

However, we started having a new problem with Reporting Services on just ONE of the environments, and we are not sure what happened.
Hi Elohir,
I assume you are installing Reporting Services SharePoint mode for SharePoint 2013, you need to:
1. Install "Reporting Services – SharePoint" and "Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products" on the SharePoint server that the SSRS service will run on. All other SP servers only need the "Reporting Services
add-in for SharePoint Products."
2. Run the Insall-SPRSService and Install-SPRSServiceProxy on Central Admin and SSRS server.
3. Start SSRS Service only on desired SSRS servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
Since the issue occurs only to one of the environments, please provide more information about your multi-server configuration, and point out the server where the issue occurs.

Essbase connection - POV in Financial Reporting prompts missing

Hi,
I'm connecting to Essbase using Financial Reporting, this report has 3 POV's. When I go to Workspace and run that report, I only see one POV. When log in as someone else, I see the 3 POV's expected. Does anyone ever encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi,
I had a similiar problem, but really not sure how close it is compared to yours.
My issue was, for a old report,I had 3 "user point of view" dimensions set up, but when I ran them on workspace, I had none of the user POV prompts coming up for selection. I identified that, the user point of view isn't working or not recognized by the report. so below is what i did to get them to work.
1. Navigated to "Dimension Layout" and moved the "user point of view" dimensions to "Pages". Saved it.
2.Then again reverted back the same dimension back to "user point of view" dimension.[Just did this to get rid of the report memory having the user point of view dimensions]
3.Unchecked Grid point of view [Incase if it is checked]
4.Navigated to Task->User Point of View, and for the 3 dimensions in the user point of view, select "Member from List" and for each dimension give more than one selection[ :) ], like sample below.
Dimension: report viewers may select Choices List
Hsp_Audits A Member from List Hsp_Rate_InputValue, Hsp_Rate_USD
Save the report, Try running the report from Workspace. This way i got all my user point of view prompts while running them in workspace.
Thanks,
Leo Jose.

How to increase number of rows displayed in Essbase drill-through report?

Hi
By default, the maximum number of rows per Essbase drill-through report (via Integration Services) is set to 1000. Could anyone tell me how to change this limit please?
Regards
Chandra

Is this for an EIS drill through report that drills through to get RDBMS data, using spreadsheet add-in for example? If so check and see if "Maximum rows per query" in EIS is currently set at 1000 and try to increase it. (I don't recall hitting a 1000 limit in the past, perhaps your report is set at that? or if this is through Web Analysis maybe WA is governing it)
To set/change a query governor in EIS:
1     In the Drill-Through Reports dialog box, select a report name.
2     Click Edit to open the Report properties dialog box.
3     In the Report properties dialog box, select the Governors tab.
4     In the Maximum time per query (in seconds) text box, enter the maximum query time.
For example, to stop a query that takes longer than 100 seconds, type 100.
5     In the Maximum rows per query text box, enter the maximum number of rows to retrieve.
For example, to stop a query that retrieves more than 200 rows, type 200.
6     Click OK.

PC Suite - no USB and Serial Connection Type avail...

I have been trying to solve this problem for days now. I have Windows XP and Nokia 5310. After I installed Nokia PC Suite, there is no USB or Serial connection type in the Connection Manager; it only has Blue Tooth and Infrared conection available. I have install and uninstalled PC suite and used PC Suite Cleaner to clean the installation. I also went into the add and remove program in the control panel and click on "change" to fix the Nokia Connection Manager and Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver. It still didn't work. The thing is that the first time when installed PC Suite on my laptop, it did have USB connection option. Later after uninstalled PC Suite and reinstalled it, it start to have this problem. I am extremly frustrated. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for your reply. I have solved the problem by following your instruction below:
Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Software, there you need to uninstall all Nokia software (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Cable driver, PC Connectivity Solution ...)
Download and run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner
Reboot your computer
Download and install PC Suite here.
Connect your phone via USB cable (if possible use a different USB jack) and follow the instructions on the screen.
Maybe when I uninstalled Chinese version of PC suite, the order in which it was uninstalled was not the one you suggested above. So，I followed your instruction and uninstall order to uninstall PC Suite again. I also uninstalled all the antivirus, spyware, and firewall before I reinstall the PC Suite. It worked; then, I reinstalled all the other security software again after I had reinstalled the PC Suite. Although it worked, I still didn't know what exactly cause the problem the first place, PC Suite version, Security protection software, or the order which it was uninstalled? All it matters is it's working.

Data at all level do not match after applying security

Hi ,
We are implementing the security and observed following.
1. Data is loaded in the cube correctly and report shows up the data correct at all level.
2. Now we apply the security which which will restricts the users to see some members according to the role they are mapped to.
3. When we create a report we are seeing the values at second and all below level to be correct but the value at all level still shows same as got in step 1.This means that the value is not dynamically aggregated while creating the report.
Also we checked that the values are not precomputed at all level for any dimension.
Any pointers to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Brijesh

John, A sureshot way to simulate the relational aggregation for various users (who have vpd) applied on the fact information is to create the AW for each user. That way the scoping of dimension hierarchies and/or facts occur on the relational source views and each user only sees the summation of the visible values in the AW. You can use (local) views in each user's schema on the appropriate AW and make the application access seamless across all the user schemas. Such a solution may be a bit redundant (leaf data present in multiple AWs increasing load time) but should work in all environments since it does not involve any tweaking of internal objects via custom olap dml.
+++++++++++++
Regd implementing the approach to have a single AW servicing multiple users but also allow for individual users to see only their data (for both base and summary data).. This can be done in 10gR2. We have used this approach with a 10gR2 AW based on suggestions from people who were in the know :)
Please note the disclaimers/caveats..
* Works for 10gR2 with no foreseeable way to port this onto 11g when olap dml object manipulation is prevented by the lock definition (lockdfn) keyword.
* Custom code needs to be run at startup.. Preferably in PERMIT_READ program alone since this way any changes made by any of the restricted user(s) do not get saved/commited. This is the manner that sql query on AWM using vpd (say) would work.
* OLAP DML Code is very dependent on the nature of the cube structure and stored level setting.
* This approach provides for a neat and nifty solution in the context of a PoC/demo but the solution performs a (possibly exhaustive) cleanup of stored information during the startup program for each user session. And since this happens in the context of a read only session, this would happen every time for all user sessions. So be sure to scope out the extent of cleanup required at startup if you want to make this a comprehensive solution.
*********************** Program pseudo code begin ***********************
" Find out current user details (username, group etc.) using sysinfo
limit all dimensions to members at stored levels
limit dim1 to members that user does *not* have access to.
NOTE: This can lead to perf issues if PROD dimension has thousands or millions of products and current user has access to only a few of them (2-3 say). We will have to reset the stored information for the majority of products. This is undo-ing the effects of the data load (and stored summary information) dynamically at runtime while the users request a report/query.
limit dim1 add descendants using dim1_parentrel
limit dim1 add anscestors using dim1_parentrel
limit dim1 keep members at stored levels alone... use dim1_levelrel appropriately.
same for dim2 if reqd.
"If we want to see runtime summation for stores in North America (only visible info) but see the true or actual data for Europe (say).. then we need to clean up the stored information for stores in North America that the current user does not have access to.
Scenario I: If Cube is uncompressed with a global composite.. only 1 composite for cube
set cube1_meas1_stored = na across cube1_composite
set cube1_meas2_stored = na across cube1_composite
Scenario II: If Cube is uncompressed with multiple composites per measure.. 1 composite per cube measure
set cube1_meas1_stored = na across cube1_meas1_composite
set cube1_meas2_stored = na across cube1_meas2_composite
Scenario III: If Cube is compressed but unpartitioned..
set cube1_meas1_stored = na ... Note: This can set more cells as null than required. Each cell in status (including cells which were combinations without data and did not physically exist in any composite) get created as na. No harm done but more work than required. The composite object may get bloated as a result.
Scenario IV: If Cube is compressed and partitioned..
Find all partitions of the cube
For each partition
Find the <composite object corr to the partiton> for cube
set cube1_meas1_stored = na across <composite object corr to the partiton>
"Regular Permit Read code
cns product
permit read when product.boolean
*********************** Program pseudo code end ***********************
The cube in our aw was uncompressed/partitioned (Scenario I).
It is more complicated if you have multiple stored levels along a dimension (possible for uncompressed cubes) where you apply security at an intermediate level. Ideally, you'll need to reset the values at load/leaf level, overwrite or recalculate the values for members at all higher stored levels based on this change, and then exit the program.

Creation of customized Wage Type Reporter

Hi,
My client were using the Standard Wage Type reporter i.e.PC00_M11_WTK. Now beacuse of security of not viewing the amounts of the employees , Client has taken away the authorization from the users the standard Tcode.
They want me to preapare the report for wage type -196E,9IPI,9IPC,9IP3,9IP5,9IP6,9IP7,9IP8,/3F1,/3F2,/3F3 AND /3F4. They dnot want the standard report. They want to customized a new report with above mention wage types?
I have already defined the FS to my ABAP HR,
I required your help to know the table from where the amount of the above wage type will pick up?
Please help.
Regards
Sanjib

Payroll results are kept in cluster. You have to access and read the cluster.
But instead of creating a report with abap I can suggest you trying this solution.
Create a payroll infotype by using system standart for the wage types to be reported.
Assign authorization for this infotype to only related employee
Put payroll infotype in info group.
After that employee can have the report by using ad-hoc query.
About payroll clusters this link will help you:

Web Analysis Essbase connection

Hi all,
I have an already created Web Analysis Essbase connection and I want to change the Essbase server for the connection. If I go to Workspace->Explore, then Tools->Manage Database Connections, I can only see the Reporting connections in order to edit them. How do I edit the properties of Web Analysis connections?
Thank you!

You can edit them through WA studio, depends on where you saved the db connections, usually in the databases folder, right click the connection and edit.
