Charting with Web Analysis

I've got a combo bar / area chart built with Web Analysis which shows the vertical bars overlayed on top of the area graph. The problem is that the bars are really wide and I would like to make them a bit smaller so I can see a bit more of the area graph and I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I recall with previous versions of web analysis there was a property that you set which specified the amount of space between the bars but I can't seem to find anything like that.
Is there a way to specify the width of the bars on a bar chart with Web Analysis?
Thanks!

Problem in calculation with web analysis

Hi, Experts..
Here is an interesting quetion...with Web Analysis
I need to calculate mat ov/kg for a site which is obatained by (total value/total volume). When i went for calculation option in analysis tool manager and apply formula this,It is taking for only one site calculation not happening for the other sites.Totally we have 60 sites with us and would not be flexible to calculate it individually.
Is there any possibility to run calc scripts...in web analysis... or how to solve this problem?

It might be because you have set up the 60 sites individually within the Web Analysis grid? We had some difficulty when first using Web Analysis and needed to put the calculations at the highest level using the calc manager. You also have to be careful if there are lots of columns, due to the way the calculation manager applies calcs and formats due to the inheritance.
Another option would be to push the calculation back to the cube, which is best practice as it's easier, more scalable for deployments.

How to use one Combo Box to control Two spreadsheet/charts in Web Analysis

In Web Analysis panel, I have one data grid and one chart (two different data sources). I would like to have one combo box, e.g. Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, in the selection (drop-down). When I select Q1, I would like to show Jan, Feb, Mar, Q1 ( ICHILDREN(Q1)) in my chart, and also only Q1 in my data grid.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I believe you can do this. For example you want to have a Chart and Graph linked to a drop down for products. When you select a product, the two POV's will change on the reports.
Look at Panels in WA. I create a report with three panels. Make the first panel top aligned, the second top aligned and the third stretched. This should make the report "stretchy". Then add your dropdown to one panel and your reports to the other two panels.
Finally link the reports to dropdown using the re-linking technique mentioned in the previous post.
Hope this helps.

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.

Java issue with web analysis

Hi,
Web analysis is taking too long to start on client machines. I had this issue a couple of years ago with java 1.4.10. hyperion came back with a solution to increase the memory java uses on both the server and the client.
»Xms128m -Xmx256m -Xss2m » in the Java plug-in (Control Panel>Java plug-in>Advanced)
I cannot see on java 1.5.11 how to add this in. Java 1.5 was meant to make web analysis faster. In some environments it has but in this partilcuar case web analysis is very slow.
I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a way to make web analysis faster.
The server environment is unix. Can a cache setting be added to java?
The client issue is the most pressing one.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi,
Go to Java Control Panel, select the Java tab. You'll see Java Applet Runtime Settings section. Click View and fill the Runtime Parameter with your settings.

Special Characters in charts with web reports

Hello, we are facing a problem to display special characters in charts on web reports (it comes out badly).
The only sap note found about this problem is note n°1036745, but it is for NW 2004s, but should be solved in NW04s BIJava SP 12, and we are currently with SP 15.
Has anyone faced this problem with BI 7.0?
Thanks,
Philippe

hi Philippe
I did not faced this issue. Nevertheless there is another note dealing with the issue. Note 1088411.
Take into account that your basis should synchronise the level of BI JAVA SP the famous Java Stacks and BI SP (ABAP support package).
You say that you are SP 15 I guess it is ABAP SP as SPS for 15 is not already shipped,
if this is not the case please ask your basis to check tihs note 1013369.
Hope this could help you

Question with web analysis

Hi,Experts..
Here is a criitcal situation for me..
we are using web analysis as a reporting tool.In generatin one report..the "Rate difference must be calculated".
The importatnt thing is rate difference is a fact value(not available in the cube) which calculated from "version-1 volume minus version-2 volume" (1003->volume - 1000->volume).whwn i try to do in analysis tool functionality in web analysis,the rate difference will be coming as in 2 columns for both version...
My idea is to write a calculation script.but while writing calculation script the rate difference will not be there in the cube level..if i write the scripts how can i validate...
How to proceed to this?

Hi,
I'm not quite sure how your outline is- & your complete reporting requirements(,for the report you mentioned).
However, I presume, Version is one of the dimensions having *1000* & *1003* as members. And, Volume is one of the members in your Measures+ dimension.
If yes, what's the issue if we select Version(s) in Column & Volume in the row. You can certainly add a column-level calculation for seeing the desired difference.
Let us know incase of any concerns.

Hi Mehmet,
Firstly, thanks for taking the time out to reply.
I followed the steps given in the link you posted.
When I edit permission for the folder containing the reports, it does not reflect in Web Analysis in any way.
For example: I assigned 'No Access' to a user to the entire folder, but yet the user is able to see the folder and the reports contained in it.
Kindly help me with this.
As for the 2nd issue, it has been sorted out and I can now export to Excel successfully :)
Cheers,

Unable to start Web Analysis .Service Temporarily Unavailable

Hi,
I am using the following URL to access Web Analysis http://testdb.xxx.xxx.xx:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp. But it throws up the following error -
"*Service Temporarily Unavailable, the server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.*"
FYI
1. I'm using EPM 11.1.1.3 on Linux Server (Tikanga)
2. Planning, Shared Services, Workspace, Essbase etc. are working fine. The problem is only with Web Analysis. However, even Web Analysis was working fine in the not-so-distant past.
I have tried stopping and starting the Web Analysis service but that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks & Cheers,
Sahil

4. And finally, when I try to open Web Analysis reports from Workspace -> Explore, I get the below error
Required application module analyzer.reportview is not configured. Please contact your administrator.
Web Analysis was working just fine until recently. Now the problem is only with WA. Everything else is working as it should If nothing gets Web Analysis up and running again, is there a way I can retrieve my saved report files? I can view these files from Workspace -> Explore -> Reports folder.
Thanks,
Sahil

No need to transfer data to Web analysis. The dashboards or the charts in Web Analysis
are directly connected to Essbase for reporting.

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,
PVR

Web Analysis response time is too slow

Hello
I have a problem with Web analysis 9.3.1 because the response time is too slow.
We used IBM Websphere 6.1.0.5 to deployment.
Anyone have any idea about what is happening and how can I improve performance?
Thanks

Hi Beny,
What is 'certixxsd.txt'? Did this slow enqueue response happen once or frequently? Are you observiing any performance issue in some SAP application?
