Cascade Feature in Web analysis

Hi all,
I just wanted to know if there is any way to cascade Web analysis report (11.1.2 version) like the way we do it in excel addin. If no, any alternative suggested?.
Thanks

Hi
I'm not aware that there is but I would ask why do you want to?
Web Analysis is intended for interactive use, if you need to batch output a whole bunch of reports based on a variable POV then I would suggest that Financial Reporting is the better tool (although I completely accept that the formatting may not be nice)

  • "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,

  • Web Analysis Save As HTML feature

    Hi,<BR><BR>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<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Gerd

    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)

  • Need assistance in Hyperion Web Analysis Report

    Hi All,
    I am using HFM with Oracle database as the data source for reports and using Hyperion 931 components.
    I have a requirement in Key Performance Indicators reports (KPI)
    1) Need to have a custom column of current year Actuals Vs Plan data
    2) Need to have a custom column of current year Actuals Vs prior year Actuals data
    3) Need to indicate Font colours based on the values derived in columns (1) and (2) - if positive data - green colour
    if negative data - red colour
    I am trying to replicate this in Web Analysis report, but facing issues on
    1)Making this year value dynamic (shd change based on current year or atleast should prompt when we run report)
    2) Since i have fixed the report with 2008 and 2007 year, all the formattig made whiel creating the Report goes away, if i try to run the report with different year values like in 2010 and 2009 year (as current and prior year)
    3) Also, i have hided some coulumns based on our requirement which also no longer exists if i change the year values (available in coulmns)
    Please suggest any comments to resolve these issues, Moreover i am new to Web Analysis reporting tool ,so kindly suggest, if i am not using any of the existing WebAnalysis features to derive my requirement.
    Expecting your earliest response.
    Thanks,
    Siva

    Hi Siva,
    If you are using the Essbase as a data source then you can achieve these things from using the substitution variable in WA report.
    Assume you have a substitution variable in Essbase cube for current year. In WA report in Dimension Browse, right-click a dimension member and select "Substitution Variable”. The Substitution Variable dialog box is displayed. Here select a substitution variable from the list of Essbase substitution variables.
    To get the Prior year, again in Dimension Browse, right-click a dimension member and select the "Also select Previous". Here define the prior year that you want to use in your report.
    Sorry, I have no idea about the substitution variables in the HFM (It might be that we call the substitution variable with another name in HFM).
    Hope it will help you.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Interactive Reporting vs. Web Analysis

    Hi,
    I have been working at a client's location to create financial reports using Hyperion Financial Reporting (version 11.1.1.3). My client now has a requirement for dashboards for upper-management users. I did not see any features in Financial Reporting that can enable me to create dashboards. Hence, I am trying to fix on either Web Analysis or Interactive Reporting to accomplish dashboard reporting for the client. Can anyone let me know which is a better tool for creating dashboards? Are there any advantages/limitations of one over the other?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
    Regards,
    Abhi

    Hi WVanSluys,
    Thanks for the response. Does OBIEE 11g have dashboard capabilities that can build dashboards from multidimensional data source such as Essbase? The reason I ask this question is that we have two different teams working at this client: one for implementing Oracle EBS and the other Oracle Hyperion (I am part of Hyperion team). The next phase of our project involves implementing OBIEE. If I am understanding you right, Web Analysis (or for that matter, Interactive Reporting) is NOT needed if OBIEE is being implemented?
    Hi Iain,
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports Pros and Cons

    Hi All,
    Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
    My Customer is asking the Merits and De merits of using both FR & Web Analysis tools for Hyperion Planning. Pls. help
    Thanks,
    PVR

    Hi John,
    I'm using FR extensively now and used Web Analysis before. We use FR for Good formatted Reports, where as Web Analysis we use for adhoc Reporting Purpose. users can do slicing/dicing, Drill down/up in Web Analysis Reports, where as this feature is not available completely in FR
    We use FR for Planning right ? What is the main advantage of using FR over Planning ? I belive with Web Analysis over Planning may cause performance issues
    Thanks,

  • Move to other page in Web Analysis

    Hi,
    I'd like to ask about how to move WA reports to another with original page deleted.
    In default(using by service button),original page is remained(it just open desination page..)
    User has momory probrem when they open more that 10 pages and complains to delete original pages by themselves.
    Anybody have smart idea ?
    Version : 9.2.0.2
    Thanks

    No, your right, I wish they did.
    The HTML client is thin and loads fast in the Workspace.
    Unfortunately a lot of the service button features do not work in HTML mode.
    Did you know you can jump to Web Analysis Studio and the same report layout will come up?
    It’s in the Tips Window (but a little buggy)

  • 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.

  • Difference between financial Reportis & Web analysis

    Hi
    1. What is the difference between Hyperion Fiancial Reporting tool & Web Analysis?
    2. On what basis are tools selected for developoing reports?
    Thnx

    Key differences are that FR provides more robust printing features (including auotmation of books, etc) where as WA is more for online analysis and can give you that nice dashboard look and fell via the web. WA also provides the ability to drill down analysis using the SQL Spreadsheet to relational databases. FR does not have this feature. FR can provide more support when it comes to planning and HFM as it relates to supporting detail and textual inputs. These are just some of the key differentiators of the two products that most customers key in on. They both have been known to coexist dependending on what users want the most. Hope this is a good starting point for your research.
    best of luck

  • Wrting back in IR and web analysis

    how do you write back in web analysis and Interactive reporting to the database

    You can use Web Analysis to write back to Essbase as long as the user has access and the intersections you are writing to are editable (not a calc, etc).
    To do this you can access the 'Edit Data' feature from the right click menu or you could put a 'Services' button on the report/dashboard so the user doesn't have to go to the right click menu.
    There are two types of Edit Data service buttons. One is a normal Edit Data button which will edit whichever data object (i.e. grid, chart, etc) is "in focus" or has been selected. The 'Assign Edit Data' button allows you to pick which data source the Edit Data will be assigned to ahead of time when setting up the button.
    You will have to test these in the Workspace, though. I don't think the Edit Data buttons were supported in the Workspace; however, I hear that in 9.3.1 they are now.

  • Web Analysis is not working

    Hi,
    I recently installed Hyperion BI+ in my server and I'm trying to do some reports in Web Analyzer.
    My installation and configuration went successfull.
    I can open FR, IR ..
    I'm trying to open WorkSpace and Web Analysis...
    both are not working...
    When Im trying to open web analysis using the below URL Im getting error..
    http://<servername>i:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp
    but when I'm using this URL http://<Servername>i:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp
    I can see the open page.. but the Web Analysis window is not coming.. I'm getting blank page...
    and for workspace also.. when I'm using 45000 port.. it is working but I cannot open any reports.. some debug error is coming..
    when I'm using the default port 19000.. Im getting network error...
    Please help me in this issue..
    Do I need to do any modifications in my configuration or property files....
    my Java application is Tomcat(default).. databases is Oracle 10G Enterprise Edition.

    Hi,
    Regarding Web Analysis- I believe- It's a problem of JRE.
    - Just remove/uninstall the JRE from your Currently installed Programs. You may want to reboot the m/c
    - Open Web Analysis Studio in the Web browser. Now, since it can't find JRE, it'll set up the relevant JRE for you & you may continue using Web Analysis.
    - Please note- Unless you've changed to a different one during configuration, Web Analysis operates on 16000 port.
    Check the following regarding Workspace-
    - Your service may be down, thus, throwing Network error
    - You may've to re-configure Workspace. Start the service & wait for few mins. before opening Workspace.

  • Issue while opening the web analysis reports

    Hi,
    One of our user is not able to open a web analysis report with an error messages saying
    "Java.Lang.Exception: Unexpected HTTP status code of 500 received from server"
    "Document does not exist or no authorization to open the document"
    Other users with the same level of access are able to open the report fine and also the same user is able to access the report fine with a test id from his machine.
    What could be wrong? Any suggestions please.
    The only thing I see here, something wrong with userd ID or password.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I had also faced this problem earlier. I was using HFM as data source for WA reports. After searching I found that there was some change at HFM level. Some dimensions/members had been deleted or added in HFM. And I was using those missing members in WA Grid.
    I had to recreate my reports again as I didn't get any other way to deal with this problem.
    Please shared any other alternative option, if you found while working on this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
