Database Access to Web Analysis Users

Hi,
I am working on a planning application on EPM 11.1.1.3. I have assigned access to users to the Web forms, business rules, dimension members etc. The access is properly applied to all users when they login to the planning application.
However, none of the security filters are applicable to the Web Analysis reports when the same users login with their ID's in Web Analysis.
1. For example, the user can see all members in the 'Entity' dimension drop-down box in the report. What can I do to apply dimension member access to the reports also?
2. Secondly, when a non-admin user opens a web analysis report, it prompts for a username and password to connect to the database. Only when I specify the admin username and password, the user can view the data. If I enter the user's own username and password, no data is displayed on the report. Can anybody guide me as to how I should allow database access to non-admin users.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Sahil

1. While users see all dimension members under Entity, do they see the data for them?
- one way to reduce the amount of members users see is to use Meta-read filters - although meta-read filters cannot be used with write filters.
2. Normally when users open up a WA report, the report defaults to the highest level - so total entity.
- one way to have users see their data is to use User POV - although this requires users to set up their POV per data source under preferences (but only once).
Hope this helps, cheers, Iain

General users can't open web analysis reports as html

Hi guys,
I am facing an issue about Web Analysis. When I use the version pre-9, I can access web analysis directly with html client or java client.Then I set each user with each POV. Now I am using EPM11.1.1.3, I can just access web analysis by workspace.Then if I would like to access java client, I click Tools->links->web analysis studio. While I access html client by clicking explore in the workspace toolbar. However, if the user doesn't belong to admin group, I can't find the explore toolbar. Then I can't access html client. As we know, not all web analysis users should be admin users. This issue puzzles me very much. Is there someone who can give some good suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Hi, you don't mention what roles you have assigned to the current users (except Admin), which as you stated isn't a good idea ;-)
You need to add Analyst & Explorer roles for your users.
Check out the full list of roles in Appendix A under the Reporting and Analysis section, in the Security Admin Guide (epm_security.pdf)

Error Launching Web Analysis Report from the Hyperion Workspace

Hi Everyone
When launching the report as a HTML from the Workspace, the output flashes briefly on screen
The view in the content pane disappears to leave a blank screen.
When I Select View | Refresh. The following result is returned "Web Analysis Information" -1
I have set the report in start up preferences. And Web Analysis preferences set to open as HTML
After logging on again the following error is shown " An attempt to open "Actual vs Budget" Failed
Show Details displays: this.getFocusRoot() is nullor not an object
The reports all display correctly when launched from the Web Analysis studio
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the advise but I have looked into your possible solution and referred to the Web Analysis user guide. I have a number of reports and when selecting the Design for HTML option - a number of objects are valid and should be displayed in the workspace.
After creating reports from scratch - with valid objects - the problem still persists.
Unfortunately, I don't think this provides a solution to the problem.

The user needs the 'Explorer' role to see the 'Explore' button. The user does not need admin privs for this.
To access Web Analysis Studio directly, go to http://<server-name>:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp or http://<server-name>:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp.

"Year To Date" feature in Web Analysis.

Dears,
I need to retrieve "YearToDate" data from Essbase into a Web Analysis report such as I select a specified month from a drop down list and it displays the data till the selected month. I couldn't find any topic related to "YTD" in Web Analysis user guide. Does WA support this feature?
Thanks & Regards,
Ahmad.

Hi KKT,
I 'm connecting to BSO application through "Analytic services" database connection. After enabling DTS, how can I select YTD in member selection in WA?
Hi Nowshad,
I didn't get your point. How can I select YTD in member selection in Excel addin?
Thanks alot.

Ahmad.

How to Set up the User POV in Web Analysis report

Hi , I am new to create the Hyperion Web Analysis report.
I am trying to set up the user POV. I have followed the document and did the below steps.
1. I went to User preference -> OLAP Server -->checked the BOX "Save Filters only for POV".
2. selected the layout and in options checked the Use user POV.
after that I have opened the report in HTML. nothing got prompted.
When I opened the Financial report, It will prompt user to select the year, period, entity, etc... I need the same way in Web Analysis also.
I have selected Accounts in rows, Entity, Year, Period in columns , rest all i kept in Filters.
Could some one please help me how user can get prompted to select the members from dimensions.
Thanks

What you have in Webanalysis is POV and PV
Applying Point of View (POV)
Selecting Personal Variables
You can also look at Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: WebAnalysis - how to show the current user's report when he logs in to see how PV can be leveraged.
There is no prompt option in WebAnalysis

POV and User POV in Web Analysis 9.3

Hi,
I am a bit confused with POV and User POV in Web Analysis 9.3.1. I have a few web analysis dashboard to be used by several different groups of users. I use the admin to go in and for each of the report, I set whether need to use User POV (in data layout option) and/or use POV (the POV is activated in the database connection).
However, I use the other user id (no the admin) to login and go to each of the dashboard, such settings of using User POV and/or POV are not valid. I wonder which setting I can set so that all the user will inherit the POVs setting from the default one.
Since I have too many users, I can not use each user id and password to do such settings individually.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

If your chart's selections and therefore it's colors are basically static, try creating the legend by hand.
Our users requested that the Legends be different than what we could get it to display so I turned off the Legend and created my own. Since the colors on my graph don't change I was able to hard-code the legend. Place a new, small panel inside your chart where you want the Legend to be. Then create colored squares using MS Paint (fill a square then Colors | Edit Colors to specify the exact RGB) that match the colors of each bar/pie slice and insert them as Images on the panel. Re-size so they're small. Then create a text box next to each color for your Legend text.
Then enable a Line Border on the panel & that should do it. Right click on your chart and choose Send To Back so the Legend is on top.
My legend is in a panel beneath the chart (not inside it) but the above steps should work for what you need.
Be sure when you view this on whatever your standard resolution is such as 1024 X 768 that the legend & titles appear where you want them, otherwise move things around until it's satisfactory.
Good Luck,

Do I need to add new users under sun-web for declarative security to work?

Hello,
Do I need to add a <principal-name> element under sun-web.xml whenever a new user registers on my website? I am planning to use declarative security for my website, so I went ahead and created a custom realm that uses JDBC to get users information from MySQL. To do a simple test I added a new user under a new group that does not have a mapping under sun-web.xml. However, web.xml has the needed security-constraint and security-role elements that define the role and the protected resources. The problem is that when I deploy the application under SJSAS PE9 I get the following warning: "No Principals mapped to Role [jdev]". Does that mean I have to add each and every use to sun-web.xml for the declarative security to work?

Good question. I am having the same problem with my LDAP realm. Funny thing is that the exact same approach worked fine and dandy with Sun AS 8. Sounds to me like something broke under AS 9 ...

Problem with Web Analysis

Hi,
With the help from some of the experts in this forum, I have finished installing and configuring the following 3 Hyperion 9.3.1 products (in this order) on our Windows 2003 development server.
V11229-01.zip (Hyperion Shared Services)
V11207-01.zip (Hyperion Reporting and Analysis - Services Release)
V11223-01.zip (Hyperion Reporting and Analysis - UI Services Release)
The backend is an Oracle 10g database.
I can successfully log into
(1) Shared Services @ http://localhost:58080/interop as admin/<default password>
(2) Web Analysis @ http://localhost:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp with the same userid/password (that I used to log into Shared Services)
(3) Workspace @ http://localhost:45000/workspace/index.jsp with the same userid/password (that I used to log into Shared Services)
This tells me I probably configured these componently correctly.
However, it seems that I cannot do something basic in Web Analysis Studio. For Example, if I try to do
File->New->Document Wizard, most of the menu options under "File" are grayed out.
To be precise, the following options under "File" are grayed out.
New, Open, Edit, Close, Close All, Save, SAve As, SAve as HTML, Properties, IMport, Export, Email As LInk, Print
so, I could not even do File->New.
In fact, the "Edit", "View" and "Display" menu items in the menu bar are grayed out as well.
As you can see, I can do very little in the Web Analysis Studio (I am logged in as admin user, which is the only user now).
Is this a permission issue? or did I fail to install some necessary components?
Also, in this forum, how do I post a screen capture (saved as an image)?
thanks in advance for your help.

Web Analysis Reports slow in workspace . .

Hello,
We are working to implement Essbase v11.1.13, Web Analysis, FR and work space.
BI Plus administrators have significantly faster access to reports than non administrators (reports load 5 to 6x faster for admins). The load time is unbearable for non admin users. Has anybody seen this issue before? Any advice?

The ojdbc14.jar currently exists in the following directories:
bea\weblogic81\server\lib
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
There is a ojdbc14_g.jar that exists in:
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\10g
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
The classes12.jar file exists in:
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\oui\jlib
So from your response, I assume I need to copy classes12.jar to a directory under bea\weblogic81?
Thanks.

Security for the Web Analysis reports

I created a report using my user id in Web Analysis studio version 11.1.1.3. When I login as another user, I can't see the report. How do I give access to other users? Do I need to change owner? I created the report under directory, where all the reports are and the users can get to those reports.
Any help would be appreciated.

You would have to go into Workspace and Edit Permissions for that report to grant access to the report.

Is it possible in Web Analysis?

The Hyperion version is 9.2.1.
Met some issues when using Web Analysis, not sure is it a limitation or some mis-usage.
Could anyone provide some clues or link to find out these issues? Thanks in advance.
1.Is it support JRE version greater than 1.4? It seems can not works smoothly with JRE 1.5.
2.When use drill down link the data in rows and columns can not be passed to next level, only the diminution marked as filter can passed to next level.
3.When building pie chart with the table, is there any options to configure the x-axis and y-axis? in the fact I want to swap the x-axis and y-axis, the default pie chat can not meet our requirements, is there any workaround to do that?
4.When the columns (values in the x-axis) exceed 2000, we got an ACException. Is it a limitation of Web Analysis?
5.The drop down list only support no more than 2000 values? We got an MaxSubscriptionControlSize warning. Is it a limitation of Web Analysis?
6.When I want to select a span of time, From yyyy-mm to yyyy-mm, I have to user checkbox to check every month in the time slot, is there any more friendly way to do that? Like a from .... to ..... filter.
7.I know I can create buttons on the page, but it is not user friendly, can we create a menu or some tree view link, etc.
8.When drill down or drill up there is not a return link.
9.When using non-english word, do not support fuzzy search.
10.In the user preference, I configure to display a document at the main page, but it does not take any effect, I am sure the document path is right. Did I miss anything?

Answers to some but not all of your questions:
3. When building pie chart with the table, is there any options to configure the x-axis and y-axis? in the fact I want to swap the x-axis and y-axis, the default pie chat can not meet our requirements, is there any workaround to do that?
I may be misunderstanding your question but have you tried swapping what you have for Rows & Columns? That should switch the axis. You said the default chart isn't meeting your requirements...one other chart property you may want to explore is "Series Effects | Chart all dimensions". Watch how your chart changes with this setting when you have more than 1 dimension in the Rows for example.
7. I know I can create buttons on the page, but it is not user friendly, can we create a menu or some tree view link, etc.
What do the buttons or menus need to do? Simply open a report? You can create a report to function as your main menu with Services buttons on there that will open report(s). Use a Panel and create buttons on there, un-check Opaque, Set the border to None or Raised Bevel, give the Button a title such as "Hours and Earnings Report" with a large font & bold. It's a pretty decent looking main menu when you get done. Give the Panel a background color such as white or cream. Anchor | Slack. Provide a title section at the top which is just another panel set to Anchor | Top. Put your logo up there as well as a Main Menu title and Services button to Logout, etc.
8. When drill down or drill up there is not a return link.
That's true. Users can use the "Undo/Redo" buttons at the top (assuming you allow them to see the Toolbar). It has the same effect, it will un-do your last drill down or drill up, and you can undo more than just the last 1.
10. In the user preference, I configure to display a document at the main page, but it does not take any effect, I am sure the document path is right. Did I miss anything?
Home Page is set to Document, and browse to find the Document and put it under "Document Location".
Then Under "Startup" choose the radio button "Home Page".
Hope that helps,

Web Analysis Alias Issues

We changed some cost center naming conventions within the Essbase cube and moved the old alias to a new alias table called OLD so reports relying on this alias would not be comprimised. The problem is that the reports already developed will not show the new alias description. I tried everything I can think of including removing the old alias directly in Essbase. Any ways around this or do I have to recreate the reports?
With the excel add-in, it is as easy as changing the alias table reference in options, but I can't find a similar function in Web Analysis.

Good news...Bad news...
The good news is that there is a way to manage this in Analyzer/Web Analysis. The bad news is that it is a really poor implementation of this feature. To date, this is the only way I know of to control this.
If you open your report in the Java client (Studio) and switch to Report Designer mode, you will see on the menu bar the different types of subscriptions you can drag onto your report. Things like combo boxes, grids, radio buttons, etc. There is one that is often overlooked, called "Alias Controller". Drag the alias controller onto your report and switch back to Analyze View. You now have a drop down box on your report that allows you to choose which alias table you want to utilize.
Of course you'll have to touch each report to do this.
Another issue is that you now have an Alias controller on each report. That might be a benefit to you if it makes sense for your users to toggle back and forth, however if it doesn't and you don't want the drop down box on your report, there are some options. One options is to hide it behind another object or under a panel. The other option, and I have not tested this extensively, is to add the controller, change the alias table to the one you want, save the report, go back and delete the controller, save the report again, and it should continue to use the new alias table. I don't know if at some point it will revert back to the default alias table, but my basic testing showed it will hold the last table prior to removing the controller from the report. To be safe, you might just want to hide it.

Web Analysis Save As HTML feature

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody has any experience saving Web Analysis report as HTML. I've managed to do so and it produced an HTML file with a folder containing the supporting files. However, when playing with the control on the exported HTML report, I'm getting a Javascript error. Has anyone seen this? I'm running BI Plus 9.2.0.1 Regards, Gerd
