Can I submit one process to run many Financial Reports at once?

I've been asked by one of our HFM customers, about ways to submit 50 FR reports by one command. Best of the process can also be schedulled.
There is a function called “Batch Reports for Scheduling”. This function can run and refresh a report (built with Financial Reporting) and create a pdf file into a specified target folder.
The problem with it, is that each report is schedule by a seperate “Batch Reports for Scheduling” function. Since the customer has lots of reports (more than 50), they need to submit them one by one, specify for each one it's parameters values (Year and Period) so it's a time consuming process.
The customer would like to find an option that will simplify the process by doing all refresh at the same time.
We are looking for a command line that we could use by a batch (by using .bat for example). We need those commands:
1. Connect to HFM
2. Launch “Batched Reports for Scheduling” with right parameter
3. Disconnect to HFM
I'd appreciate any idea that would help.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Yoram
There is a command line utility that you can use to run Financial Reporting batches. It is called ScheduleBatch.cmd and can be found in the 'bin' directory under BIPlus (I can't be more specific as it depends which version of FR you are running).
Take a look at the help attached in the section Scheduler Command Line Interface under the Administrative Tasks for Financial Reporting
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/frameset.htm?launch.html]
These notes are labelled as v11 but this section equally applies to v9.3.1
I have not used this with HFM but I have uses a windows .bat file to launch multiple FR batches using this feature (against Essbase) and deliver reports to users out of working hours so that they are in their email inbox when they arrive at work.
Hope this helps

Error while running the financial report in the workspace.

Hi,
Im getting the below error while running the financial report in the workspace in HTML mode.
*"Required application module reporting.HRRunDlg is not configured. Please contact your administrator".*
And im not able to login to the Hyperion Financial Reporting as well.. i get the below error
*"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator"*
Can someone let me know how to resolve this error.

You don't mention the version, what app server or web server you are using, etc.. That information might be helpful, but in general, you can try the following:
1. Make sure you have gone through the FR Web App deployment steps and verify the settings entered in the Config Tool.
2. For version 11.1.1.x and 9.3.1.x, try opening the report in FR Studio and running it via the FR Studio Print Preview (*bold*not*bold* Web Preview.) If the report runs/processes, then the back-end FR Services are functioning and the issue is confined to the web interface. Verify the FR Web App is up and listening on the designated port (8200, by default), check the FR Web App logs and the App Server (WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat, OAS) logs for errors/issues.
If the report fails to process in FR Studio Print Preview, then there is a problem with the FR Reporting Server Service. Check to make sure the service is up/functioning and check the FR Report Server logs for errors.
3. Test access to other FR functionality in workspace (ex: Files->Preferences->Financial Reporting or Explore->Tools->Database Connection Manager?) If these don't work, then try to connect to the following URLs:
http://workspaceServer:19000/hr/status.jsp
http://frWebAppServer:8200/hr/status.jsp
Note: The URLs above assume standard/default ports. You may need to adjust them for your environment.
If the first URL fails, but the second URL works, there is a problem with the HTTP redirect settings on the Web Server (Apache, IIS, etc.) Run through the Workspace deployment and make sure the Web Server Config settings point to the right ports/servers.

How can I print Essbase database notes information in Financial reports?

How can I print Essbase database notes information in Financial reports? As a requirements, I need to print certain database information in reports such as application refresh date/time and data source - from where my database is updated from.
Edited by: 872346 on Jul 13, 2011 1:50 PM

Unfortunately, none of those text functions are going to pull the database note. Hardly anything does other than the add-in.
Maybe the OP could stick that information into an LRO? Then he could use CellText to get the info out.

How can I watch the process is running in program?

In my program, I fork some processes, and I must watch them timing, how can I know that these processes is running?

<pre>
There could be many way for to see what process is doing.
Easiest is to use "truss" on the process or the program.
Please see the man page of truss.
You can do :
truss -f -p pid_of_process
or
truss -f -o /tmp/out -p pid_of_process &
tail -f /tmp/out
or
truss -f program_exe
Otherwise you can use dbx, run the process in dbx and set
breakpoints at various levels.
Thanks

Display region after one process has run

I am using htmldb2.0 and I want to display regions after one process in another region of the same page has run. There is type named as "when process in comma delimited list of Process IDs has run" in condition type of region edit. I tried it with putting my process name(also followed with comma) in expression 1 text area but it doesn't work. I am wondering if this doesn't work, how can I implement it in my application.
Thanks in advance,
Ke Lin

I do not get but....
If one process on page start...then page is not rerenderd until it is finished. If process if finished page is submited and then on refresh page process is not running.
So I do not understand how can two process be started on the same process together?
If this si so maye this could be the solution....
could you create autonomous transaction (it commits their data regarding transaction that it participate in!) to make some parameter in table to 1.
When other process starts it checks this value and if this param is 1 then it should not continue.
P.S.
Do not forget to put another autonomous transaction procedure which will set param to "0" after process finish.
Do this main proc with strong exception handling to ensure that param is allways set to 0.

While configuring a 2nd Essbaseserver to SS can the 1st one be up & running

Hi,
While installing and configuring a new(second one) essbase server to an existing Shared services database which already has an essbase server(1st one) registered to it, can the 1st one be up and running or does it have to be shut down. Also is there any other precaution to take note of while doing this. Thanks in advance.
Ted.

It shouldn't matter whether it is running or not, personally I like to have things stopped when configuring but that is just my preference.
Cheers

Can we tell who is running Hyperion Financial Reporting?

We are using Hyperion Workspace, Planning and Financial Reporting. We just wonder whether there is a report or summary that can be used to monitor the FR report usage i.e. we can understand who are running a FR report at what date/time. A audit report or summary statistics can serve the purpose.
Thanks in advance!

jts wrote:
I was interested in this too but it appears for Financial reporting you can only record logins to the database.
In Workspace go to Navigate/Administer/Event Tracking
In Event tracking you can audit system logins, database logins, Interactive Reporting, SQR Reporting, Job execution
It appears there is not an option for financial reporting?
JTSThanks!

Proxy error while running the financial report in workspace.

Hi,
We are using the Hyperion financial reporting 9.3.1 with Essbase as a data source.
While running a report in workspace, we are getting the 'Proxy error' meassage, which is following-

Do anybody have any idea on this? Any help will be appriciated on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Hi Iain,
We are using Microsoft Internet explorer 6.0. I am not sure about the 'proxy' (As we don't have any proxy setting in Tool--> Internet options--> connection--> LAN setting). We are accessing the Workspace and FR studio via Citrix application. How can I check the proxy.
Also, I noticed one more point, Report has prompt for seleting 'Account hierarchy'.If we run the report only for one account hierarchy, report is returning the data but while running for multiple account hierarchy, it is throwing the 'Proxy error' as memtioned above.
Please help us on this.
Thank & Regards,
Mohit

Limit member selection based on access in running Hyperion Financial Report

Hi there
I am wondering, is it possible to limit the member selection in a prompt box based on what access they have when running a Hyperion Financial Report?
I know its possible to limit the user POV based on the members they have access to (in Preferences) but we have a reporting requirement on the page dimension to prompt the user for what cost centres they want to run the report for. When I used a prompt function the user gets to select any cost centre in the "choices" range regardless of whether they have access or not. We just want it to show what cost centres they have access to.
Thanks

If the datasource is ready only and not writeable for the users, then you can use MetaRead filters for cost centre, which will only show the hierarchies the users have access to.
(You cannot mix Write and MetaRead filters in the same filter, it would be Write and Read).
Let me know if that's an option.
Cheers, Iain

Hi Harsha,
Have you ever been able to run this report successfully? If yes, I would restart Reporting and Analysis services and see if it'll solve the issue?
Also, is there any special characters such as !, &, % in the report? If yes, I would try to remove these and re-run the report.
Hope it helps.

Can I use one Apple ID with many Apple devices

I have an iTouch, iPad and iPhone. I want to use one Apple ID whenever I use the devices. When I try and change the ID on a device I get a message that the ID is regestered to another device. Whqat do I do?

You can use the same Apple ID up to 10 devices.
That is for purchases in the App, iTunes and iBook stores.
Where did you change the ID?

Can more than one LV app running on different machines have open references to the same device at the same time?

I want to control a bunch of FP devices from one PC and serve this info to some satelites PC who will be on the same network. Most of the time,only the one PC will be interacting with all of the FP devices.
In the event this main PC fails, I want to be able to quickly tell all of my FP devices to go into a safe state. I have a mechanism that will tell me the main is down. When this happens, I want to write the correct state to all of the output relays.
To pull this off, I wanted all of the satelites to open FP connections to the relays that have to be driven to the safe state at starrt-up. When the failure of the main is detected, I want to be able t
o drive the relays to the correct state with a minimal amout of delay. My experiments with using FP explorer with a single PC controlling a FP device in a LV app has showed that I can write from ether place any time I wantedwith no apparent interfearence. I this same functionality available from multiple machines?
The alternative to this approach would target a watch-dog app at each of the FP controllers and have them fail-safe their outputs but this means I need to include support of RT in this app, and I was hoping to keep this simple. Each of the FP controllers would also have to be smart enough to know which if outputs should be acted on. i would alsolike some mechanism of knowing this has happened (for trouble-shooting purposes)
I thought I read this was built into FP, but that may have applied to specific devices. I am not sure.
Question:
What is the simplest approach to setting my outputs quickly to a safe state when then main PC goes down?
Thank you for reading,
Ben

Ben,
The FP-100X, FP-160X and FP-20XX series of network modules all have communication watchdogs. The communication watchdogs are used to monitor the communications between host computers and the network module. If there are no communications within the timeout period, pre-programmed settings can be applied to each channel as desired. For proper operation, a communications watchdog has to be enabled in three locations; in the network module (enable/disable and set timeout period), in the I/O module (Enable/Enable on Use (FP-100X series only)/Disable) and on each individual channel. For relays/discrete outputs, you can program what state the channel goes to (on/off), for analog outputs, you can set the exact output value the channel goes to.
For more in
formation, please see the following tutorial. It explains in detail how the watchdogs work.

How can I invoke BPEL process to run ?

Hi,
after deploying the bpel process, which way I can invoke it without BPEl console ?
Can I invoke it from inside of my stored procedure
or creating (and invoking then) concurrent-process in OEBS ?

Clemen,
Thanks for the response.
Assuming that I created right xml(+ namespaces) in the stored procedure, put it into varchar2 parameter, and invoked BPEL WS. My question is how I can parse it?
Advise please. I'm a rookie on the XML.
I also tried to pass delimited string from plsql and then parse it using orcl:create-nodeset-from-delimited-string. Unfortunately I didn't figure out what I have to put as a QName parameter of that function. The documentation is insufficient. There is no any sample with that function. Another guy is also was struggling with it: create-nodeset-from-delimited-string
Maybe you can clarify it?
Thank you in advance.

How can I view itunes account info for many DRM songs at once?

I have a ton of songs on my computer that is from different accounts. They are all in one folder but the problem is I would like to sort them into different folders by account. I know you can view the account info in itunes on each song one by one, but is there a way to add a column for account email address associated with the songs? There is to many to click each one individually.
Thanks

I just tried the instructions you posted and they worked for me. What happens when you try? What are you trying to change?

Can't buy one particular track - how do I report this?

As per title. Error message I get when trying to buy it is 'this item is currently being modified' or words to that effect.
