Batch Reports in HFM

We are on version 11.1.1 of HFM and we are trying to use the feature where you can batch reports. We can get the batches set up and they run but it seems that when we try to use the bursting options, we can't get any emails to go out. We followed the instructions in the student guide on how to edit the bursting destination files, but nothing happens. We aren't IT people at all so I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be set up behind the scenes to make this feature work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you have softcopy of HFM student guide ?
Thanks!

  • Financial Reporting batch reports run slow at random

    FR reports version: 11.1.2.1
    This is a summary of our environment:
    -Linux server where Hyperion batch reports run
    -Linux (SLES-11) server where Essbase resides
    -Windows 2008 server where Hyperion Print Service and GhostScript reside
    This is what we observed this morning:
    Batch reports are executed serially by a master shell script.
    One of these reports takes 30+ minutes to complete. The exact same report usually completes in less than 3 minutes.
    This problem occurs 3 to 5 times each morning, and not necessarily on the same report.
    While the report shows ‘Running’ in the Hyperion Batch Scheduler, there is no process present on reports server. There is no active session on Essbase. There is no active print process on the print server.
    Eventually, the report completes successfully and the pdf file is present on reports server.
    We haven’t been able to determine where the process is during the period that it appears to be stuck. The best we can do is to look at the status on the Batch Scheduler. It is not a practical option for us to schedule everything using the Batch Scheduler on a daily basis.(this is what Oracle is suggesting, by the way).
    Has anybody experienced similar FR batch reports slowness?
    Thanks.

    IT parsed the HTML into csv so that another program could compare a Trial Balance from HFM with a Trial Balance from the source GL system to ensure all data got imported to HFM.

  • Batch Scheduler in HFM

    We have been trying to use the batch scheduler in HFM and have not yet had any luck on having the reports emailed out automatically. It looks like the reports in the batch are running ok but they aren't going to anyone in the specified distribution list. I'm not sure where to start to see if we have everything set up to use this feature. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure. Unfortunately I'm not too familar with the IT side of it. This is definitely something that I can have our IT people look into. Do you have any advise on what I can tell them to look for? HFM is new to us and we don't have too many IT people that are knowledgeable about the system. I've tried to look for instructions on how this should be setup but haven't had much luck.
    Thanks for your tip.

  • Email FR reports after HFM Consolidation

    How to trigger the FR batch jobs when HFM consolidation runs successfully? We want to get the reports in mail after HFM consolidation runs .
    How to achieve this, Any helps would be appreciated .
    Thanks,

    I don't think such a trigger to automate this process is available in the Hyperion/EPM spectrum,however you can schedule FR batches via the command line,details are available at

  • Error "424 Object Required" when opening journal report using HFM 11.1.2.1

    Hi experts,
    I've installed EPM 11.1.2.1 along with Hyperion Financial Management and Financial Reporting on an virtual machine (OS is windows server 2008),
    when I logon to workspace and tried to open an journal report in HFM-Format, appears error message as follows:
    An error has occurred. Please contact your administrator
    Error Number:424
    Error Description: Object required
    Error Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
    Page On which Error Occurred:../reports/CheckStatus.asp
    I've checked oracle support and found article ID 967025.1 describing almost the same issue of mine,
    but the suggested solution was to add workspace and HFM web server to trusted site. (I'm using IE9)
    I did so as well as other recommended browser settings but still the error remains.
    The article said the solution was applied to Version 9.2.0.0 to 11.1.1.3, so I'm not sure if version 11.1.2.1 has other causes or solutions.
    Could experts provide any ideas?

    I believe you might have already done with the below steps, but please reconfirm:
    1) Ensure, that both the Hyperion Workspace URL AND the HFM webservername i.e(Http://<hfmwebservername>/hfm) is added in the sites button in the Trusted sites option. under Security tab.
    2) Here is a list of Internet Explorer settings which are recommended to be set on the client machine:
    1. Configure browser to check for new version every time user visits a page
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > General
    In 'Browsing history' section select 'Every time I visit the webpage'
    * Click Ok, then Apply.
    2. Disable default pop-up blocking
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > Privacy tab
    Uncheck 'Turn on Pop-up Blocker'
    3. Add workspace URL to trusted sites
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > Security tab
    * Select Trusted sites from Select a zone to view or change security settings.
    * Type your workspace URL in form http://workspaceserver:portnumber in 'Add this website to the zone'
    * Uncheck 'Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone'
    * Click Add, then Close.
    * Click Ok and Apply.
    4. Minimize security setting for trusted sites
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > Security tab
    * Select Trusted Sites from select a zone to view or change security settings
    * Select custom level
    * From Reset to list select Low
    * Click Ok
    * Click Apply, then Ok
    5. Customize security settings
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > Security Tab > Custom Level
    * In 'Miscellaneous' section enable the option "Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints"
    * In 'ActiveX controls and plug-ins' section enable “Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins” and “Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.”
    6. Enable option "Always allow session cookies".
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > Privacy Tab > Advanced > Check the "Override automatic cookie handling" and accept the first and third party cookies and check the "Always allow session cookies" option.
    7. Disable option "Enable Native XMLHTTP".
    * Open Internet Explorer
    * Go to Tools > Internet options > Advanced Tab > Uncheck the option "Enable Native XMLHTTP"
    If still facing the same issue, perform the below action plan:
    1) Give full permission to Filetransferfolder and try generating the reports.
    2) Add the Everyone user and dcom user to BIPubSystemReports.
    DCOM Config-> BIPubSystemReports-> Security tab-> add the users in Launch and Activation Permission, Access permissions and Configuration Permissions.
    Best regards.

  • Batch Report Print First for Invoices

    Hello Experts.
    Is there a way to set the batch report to print first, rather than the invoice? It doesn't seem like I am able to create a print sequence because the batch report is not an option when setting up the sequence from invoice PLD. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Taylor

    Hi Taylor,
    There is no option to support your goal because the system has designed in current way. Before you print invoice, the Batch Report will not be available to print.
    Thanks,

  • Financial Report/Batch report deletion by mistake

    Hello Gurus,
    We seemed to have deleted one of the Financial Reports and one batch report from the Workspace folder.
    Is there any way to check and see if it is stored in some place in the hyperion directory.
    Thanks

    A financial report is stored in both the RAF relational repository and within the RAF data directory, when you delete the report it will be removed from both these locations.
    Cheers

  • Shared Services User Reports - for HFM Users

    Does anyone have some good material or knowledge they can share with me today regarding the following Shared Services topics?
    1. What might cause a run of the Users By Group report to fail? After about 15 mins bombs out and receive the following error: "User not found with identity = ntlm:SID=S-1-5-21-787380144-986785343-375376054-10174?USER(-2147216700). Then gives much more detail on error.
    2. How to remove users that appear under admin role but not in default?
    3. For audit (TODAY), ideally should produce a report of HFM users – including dates (when added, when security /provisioning was changed for them) – is there a report or combo of reports that will provide this information?
    Any help or a point in the right direction is hugely appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Ok - just some pointers, so use as suits.
    1: this looks like it is not seeing your AD/NTLM user. You see a similar SID if in Properties of any file share where the connection to the domain is not available, or the user no longer exists. Remember, if a user ID in NTLM or AD has been changed, Shared Services does not recognise this, and stores the original SID, so you need to remove and reprovision the user.
    2. The cleanest INHO is to do a CSS Import/Export and 'clean' the file. RTFM :)
    3. There are some reports in Shared Services, but see if this is of use - especially the Security Matrix, (http://www.epmmaestro.com/dnn/Products/EPMWebSymphony/tabid/56/Default.aspx)
    Good luck

  • Batch Reports and Enhancements in PD Module

    Hi,
    As we already have std BAPIs for creating contract like, BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE and BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA, what is the need for going to a ZBAPI?
    Remember that ZBAPIs will not be supported by SAP and if any screen seq changes with custom fileds etc, BDC will not work. Try to use std BAPI if possible.

  • Stopping a batch report

    I have a batch report that is locked up in the "running" status. How can I kill it? It was set up using the batch scheduler in workspace. I can delete the line item, but it always returns and is back in running status.
    Thanks

    Never mind. It eventually cleared itself after I deleted it. It just several minutes (and returned as "running" while completing the delete process). At least I hope this is how it worked.

  • How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

    Dear Experts,
    I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
    I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
    {ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
    Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

    I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
    It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
    (I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

  • Include results in "Batch Report" instead of "UUT Report"

    Hi all,
    I have modified the ProcessSetup callback in TS 4.0 to perform a preliminary hardware test before I test 8 UUTs using the Batch model. Since it's a callback, the results are not recorded by default, so I store them into a global array of results. Then, I copy this array of results into my MainSequence results array.
    The problem is that this means these preliminary test results will be recorded for UUT0 (if I use "One thread only" synchronization") or for all UUTs (if I use the batch model synchronization). How can I add the results of my ProcessSetup test to the "Batch results" section of the results page instead of the "UUT Results" sections? The test is checking the shared hardware and therefore applies to all UUTs. I'd rather not have it repeated for each UUT or make it look like it only applies to the first UUT.
    Thank you,
    Chris
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Tomahawk,
    Al is correct that if you were using HTML or ASCII report formats, you could override the ModifyReport... Callbacks to get what you want. Unfortunately, with XML Reporting, you can not use the ModifyReport... Callbacks. In order to accomplish the functionality you would like to see while continuing to use the XML report format, you will need to modify the BatchReport Callback as well as the XML style sheet that you are using.
    In TestStand 4.2 we created tutorials and provided better documentation for our XML Style Sheets. With a little bit of effort, I'm confident that with TestStand 4.2 you would be able to achieve your goal.
    I would suggest taking a look at the Customizing TestStand Style Sheets topic of the TestStand 4.2 Help (available online). Unfortunately, the TestStand 4.0 XML Style Sheets do not have the same quality of documentation as the TestStand 4.2 Style Sheets so you will not have commented sections in the 4.0 Style Sheets as the Help explains.
    For this particular case, you would want to modify the BatchReport Callback to store the data that you want to place in your Batch Report section. Then, you would need to modify the Batch Report section of the XML Style Sheet with the appropriate XPath to display that data in the Batch Report.

  • Management Reporting using HFM

    Hi,
    I'm having a bit challenge here with my client who wants to apply management reporting with HFM. The MR according to them is an information that can help you determine their production, such: how much is the quantity of raw material used every month, per kg or per ton.
    As in my opinion, HFM doesn't build to accommodate such information, because in HFM everything should be defined with value of money (currency) and not with kg or ton or piece. I know well that Essbase would be the appropriate application for this.
    Is there anyone who experience the same situation and got this resolved ? Need your opinion.
    Thanks,
    anna

    Hi Anna,
    Whatever the type of the account, you have to write the rule, or it will translate using the default rates, which are defined in the application settings. Specifically accounts of type BALANCE (ASSET, LIABILITY) will be translated by the system using the rate defined in DefaultRateForBalanceAccounts. Accounts of type FLOW (REVENUE, EXPENSE) will translate using the rate defined in DefaultRateForFlowAccounts. So, if you do not want to translate at all you have to use the code I posted to override default translation, for every account you don't want to translate. Of course the same account will also consolidate provided that you have set the metadata attribute IsConsolidated correctly. And at the group level you will get the total Weight or total number of items or total headcount, whatever you have specified for the account.
