Does Financial Reporting Studio need to be uninstalled before patching?

Hi Guys,
Moving forward on my patch plan, I am stuck again, this time with the ambiguity in the documentation. I am trying to apply the Financial Reporting Patch 13997553. While going through the documentation, I found two ambiguous statements. In step2, the doc says that I need to uninstall the FR studio (Doesnt say on which machine I need to uninstall). Later in step9, it says, on FR studio Machines, uninstall the FR studio.
As per my assumption, in step2, I have to uninstall it from the Server and in Step9 I need to unistall it from my local machine. But the document never talked about re-installing the FR studio on server. What am I missing here?
Help appreciated. Thanks!
Here's part of readme which confused me -
APPLYING THE PATCH_
The section includes important information about applying this patch for Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition.
To apply this patch:
1. Shut down all services and servlet instances related to the Oracle Hyperion EPM Release 11.1.2.2.00 installation.
2. Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
3. On On the Financial Reporting server machines; Download and unzip the downloaded patch file, <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip, to the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directory (by default, Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/OPatch).
NOTE: <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip is the name that My Oracle Support assigns to this patch. When you download the file, a message indicates the file name.
4. On On the Financial Reporting server machines, from a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
5. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
Windows:
opatch.bat apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>
-jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware.
UNIX/Linux:
./opatch apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29 -invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware.
6. Delete the Financial Reporting precompiled jsp files located at: <ORACLE_HOME>\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\precompiled\hr
7. Restart Oracle Hyperion EPM services and servlets.
8. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.
“For WebSphere deployments, you must use EPM System Configurator to redeploy the Web application.”
9. On the Financial Reporting Studio machines; Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
10. Connect to the EPM Workspace machine that was patched in Step 3. Download the Financial Reporting Studio installer from the EPM Workspace menu: From the Tools menu, select Install and then select Financial Reporting Studio and then launch the installer. Follow the installation guide to install the Financial Reporting Studio to the location you want.
11. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.

You will find that it is installed by going to the start menu - Oracle - Financial Reporting StudioSo if i got you right,
-I need to uninstall the FR studio from all the machines (including the server).
-Apply the Patch.
-Install FR studio back again
And this whole process has nothing to do with Financial Reporting Web App.
Thanks!

  • No sync between Financial Report Studio repository and planning

    Hi,
    I have a problem in Hyperion Planning 11.1.3 when I am trying to open reports that are either in Explorer or in a task list linked by a smartcut. An error (#2108) occured saying that the object I am trying to open is not in the repository. I am using Financial Report Studio 11.1.1.3. to create reports.
    Does anyone have an idea of why I am getting that error?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    This is a known issue and there is no solution yet as far as I'm aware. It happens when you open a report using different user names on the same PC.
    The solution is this, log off from workspace, clean internet explorer caches (including temp files). shut down internet explorer and try openning the report again from workspace.
    Obviously, you need to repeat this steps everytime you face the issue.
    Cheers,
    Alp

  • SSL error logging into Financial Reporting Studio

    We are using Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1, patch 120. We terminate SSL at a load-balancing appliance, therefore, none of the Hyperion services have SSL enabled.
    Users were able to log into Financial Reporting Studio (FRS) using https://servername:port successfully until we installed a new digital certificate in the virtual IP on the load-balancing appliance. Now when the users try to log into FRS, a SSL handshake error is written to the client log file. See below for full error.
    We have restarted all Hyperion services and verified that browser access to the EPM environment is working using https. We also tried uninstalling the FRS client and reinstalling, but get the same error.
    The original digital certificate was not imported on the Hyperion servers or client machines. The new digital certificate has not been imported either.
    Oracle Support said that we need to create a keystore file on each client machine and import the new digital certificate.
    Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or can explain why we would need to import the new cert on each client, when we never had to import the original cert on the client?
    We also verified that if we revert back to the original cert on the load-balancer, the users can log into FRS.
    Thanks,
    Robin

  • Export FR without using Financial Reporting Studio

    Good morning.
    Is that possible to get the reports designed at Financial Reporting Studio to import into another machine?
    I'm asking this because I ain't able to access this machine anymore. So, did an other machine, but now, with a new database, with no reports =)
    Thanks.
    Cheers,
    Rafael Marques

    I know that there is a report migration tool as we used it when we went from 7.2.5 to 9.3.1. I'm not 100% if you can make use of it as a simple 'copy' tool (i.e. copying same software version reports from one server to the next or if it only works in a specific upgrade capacity); however, I would start on that route first.
    I think the road block you will hit there; however, is that I think the environment would need to be up and running for this utility to work.
    If that is the case, the manual route is ugly. As I've talked about in a prevoius post, reports (since system 9) are scattered in a couple different pieces. In the Workspace database, you will find information that ties a UUID (Unique Identifier) to a 'Friendly Name'. In the file system of your server running the RM web application, you will find the actual report files. The files / folders for the reports are not human friendly; therefore, you need the DB to fix the names. The other issue you have here is the database connection for the reports. When you create a database connection it also gets a generated Unique ID value which is stored in the reports. If that ID does not exist in the target system, you need to update all of the reports; otherwise, they will not work correctly.
    If I HAD to do this manually (i.e. old workspace isn't operational so I can't export), here's what I would do ..........
    ------- WARNING ------------ I don't think anyone here is going to approve of this method and I really don't either, but ....................
    "Old System" to "New System"
    #1 - New System --> create your database connection(s), preferably with same name(s) as previous environment
    #2 - Old --> Locate naming information in Workspace database tables (If you don't know where this is, find a previous post I put out on reports and the database where I explain this)
    #3 - Old --> Locate the physical files / directories (See previous post on subject)
    #4 - Old --> Find at least ONE report for EACH database connection used in the old system. Open the file(s) in notepad and locate the connection ID. (NOTE : Files are compressed so get something like 7zip to get into them)
    #5 - New --> Open the Workspace database, locate the database connection information. For each connection you have created, update the ID to correspond to the ID found in the reports.
    At this point, we have a couple of different options......
    Option 1 - Create your own export archive
    Now that you know where all of the old reports are and you know the proper naming of the reports, you can make your own export archive which you can then import into the new environment. The structure of the 7zip archive would be something like this
    ReportExtract.7z
    (null) Folder --> This would correspond to your Root folder in Workspace
    My Report Folder 1 --> Your workspace stuff here
    My Report Folder 2 --> Etc.
    The import thing to recognize here is that when you first open the 7z file, you have to have that NULL folder; otherwise, this doesn't work. I'm not sure how to create such a null folder, so what I normally do is create an extract file using the Workspace Export option and then use 7zip to alter the archive to include what I really want ....
    #1 - Old --> Fix names. Using the information from the workspace database write a quick script to traverse the file / folder structure and renaming all folders and files so that they have the friendly name.
    #2 - Old --> For the files that were just renamed, uncompress them. This can be accomplished with a bat file script as well.
    #3 - New --> Go to File Export and choose the highest folder you can and export all items. Save the file somewhere handy as you're going ot need this right away.
    #4 - Old --> Open the archive with 7zip. You will see a folder with no name, double click on it. Now you should see the beginning of your report structure (if you have one on the new environment....)
    #5 - Old --> Using windows explorer, DRAG and DROP the folders/files from steps #1/#2 into the 7zip window. 7zip will then add those folders/files to the report archive we created.
    #6 New --> Login to workspace and select the File, Import option. Proceed to use the archive created previously. If everything is done correctly, the reports will pull in and you will be good to go at this point. (OTHER THAN SECURITY)
    Option 2 - Manually Copy Files/Folders and Database entries
    While in theory this is slightly quicker, I've never attempted so I won't say for fact this will work. I would probably only recommend trying this is the old and new machines are running the SAME version of software AND the new machine has nothing added to it yet.....
    #1 - Locate RM1 service folder and copy all files/folders to new server's RM folder
    #2 - Locate the old database tables related to report files/folders/permissions/data connections and copy data into new database tables.

  • Filter in Financial Reporting Studio

    Just a simple (butn not for me) question.
    In essbase i have sales misure and time dimension with year month and day.
    In financial reporting studio i need to build a report that shows the seles for the current day. What's the way to do this?

    Hi
    The syntax is very similar for IfThen in FRS compared to If in Excel. The biggest difference I guess is that if you want to assign any kind of formula as your true condition or false condition that you use the EVAL() function otherwise FRS doesn't like it (this was certainly the case up to v11.1.1, suspect it hasn't changed in the 11.1.2 releases).
    I'm doing this without the system in front of me so apologies if it is not 100% correct but your formula is along the lines of:
    IfThen([D,1]=0,0,Eval([D,5]/[D,1]))
    Hope this helps

  • Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 PDF not Configured for Web Server

    I have installed EPM 11.1.2.1, and HFM, Planning, Essbase, Financial Reporting are all working fine except when I do a report preview in the Workspace an error is received that PDF has not been configured for this Web Server.
    I have uninstalled PDF and Financial Reporting then re-installed them but I am still getting the same error. Also, I when I tried to view report from Workspace in Financial Reporting Studio, I received the following error:
    error number 400 Error Description:Form already displayed; can't show modally. Function: ShowMsg. Module:GblMethods.
    Your help would be gracefully appreciated.

    You should review all installation guides, readmes, and the certification matrix before performing a Hyperion Installation and/or Upgrade.
    Version 9.0 of Ghostscript is not supported, install ghostscript 8.6.3 - 32-bit.

  • Error  while logging in to Financial report studio

    Hi,
    while logging in to Financial report studio i am getting this error
    Could not connect to server : Server name
    please make sure that the server is running as specified in the logon dialog(including port number if not default)
    can any 1 help me in this ??????

    for my response i will make the supposition you are trying to connect to an HFM data source to pull data for your reports, lets call it HFMCLUSTER.
    in order for your reports studio to gain connectivity to the HFMCLUSTER data source, you will need to first install the HFM Client on the same machine, along with the ADM driver for connectivity. After it is installed, register the HFMCLUSTER using the Server and Web Configuration Utility (the only tab that will be available will be the Server/Cluster Registration)
    You then enter the name of one of the servers, or the server, that is being used as the HFM server, the cluster name will then appear. Click the "Enable DCOM" button to the right, hit apply, and you're done.

  • Financial Reporting Studio Problem...

    Hi John,
    that my Variance problem was solved with the help of the last post, I created one Report in Financial Reporting Studio. But when I want to Web Preview for the report in Workspace I get the following message-
    *5200: Error executing query: Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.com.hyperion.planning.olap.NoAvailableOlapConnectionsException*
    Then I thought of trying Print Preview which threw the same error.
    What needs to be done John?? I restarted all the services and Essabse as well. But nothing helped.
    Please advise.

    John. I am sorry to ask this, a different question. Actually I just faced a severe problem while trying that report issue. I give the details below-
    I created one group and assigned it only Dimension Editor and Application Creator roles. And further created one user and put it into that group.
    Next created one application(*TestApp*) in Workspace yesterday. Now as I faced the FR issue and according to you I created one application(*app*) in Workspace, this time with admin(as you told) and tried to create report and eventually failed which wrote in one but last post.
    Then according to your last reply I restarted the services and and entered the Workspace with the new user. But here comes the problem, I can't see my application that I had created under this user. All I could see is the application that I had created using admin(for trying the FR issue).
    I mean... I am very confused.... created one application with a new user, but it got replaced by an application that was created with admin, and with a different name.
    But I still can see the database in EAS and it is intact. And when right click on the TestApp and see the User/group access, I can see admin and that new user.
    John pls don't get angry... I know it's a different issue.
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Problem about financial reporting studio(assign multiple db connection)

    Hi,
    I need to assign multiple database connections to a grid in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio
    To do this, I performed the following steps:
    - Open a report.
    - In a grid, select one column for which I want to change the database connection.
    - In the Column Properties sheet, click the Select Database Connection button, .
    - In the Select a Database Connection dialog box, select a database connection from the Database Connection drop-down list, then Click OK.
    - In the Map Dimensions Between... dialog box, map dimensions between the default database connection and the selected database connection. I do this by selecting a dimension from the pull-down list in the right column for each dimension in the left column.
    - Optional: Select an alias table for the new database connection.
    - Click OK.
    But after last step I have received next error:
    *; nested exception is:*
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    Can someone explain the source of this error?
    And help me please solve this problem because I didn’t receive figures in that column where I changed database connection.
    Thank you in advance!

    I'm sure that both DB connections has the same dimension hierarchy. I can open the repot, but in it I don't see figures in that column where I've changed database connection...

  • Financial Reporting Studio Client Installation Error

    Hi,
    today i tried to install Financial Reporting Studio on my own computer to access the data stored on a server landscape. After successfull installation, when I try to login I receive the following error message: You are not Authorized to use this Functionality. Please contact Administrator
    Nevertheless, I am the admin so I need to contact myself. I tried a lot of things today and read a lot of threads, still no solution. I can run the Reporting Studio from any of my servers and use the URL http://webserver:19000 It works when run from any of the servers. But when I try it from the "outside" I always get the error above. I can access all other Hyperion Components from my computer, hence the environment is configured right to that extend.
    Do you have any suggestions on this error?
    Thank you very much,
    Best Regards

    I run: Windows Vista
    FinRep Studio: 11.1.0.2507

    I have the same issue with 11.1.1.3 and Windows 7 which we recently installed..  Initially, Financial Reporting would not launch but after we did the steps mentioned below, we the studio opens and we can access our Repository.  However, we get a 'Failed to connect to Server...' for each of our HFM and Essbase reports.  Any ideas?
    Thx,
    Mike
    We followed the below steps
    manually copy the following folders and files from a working 32-bit Windows machine:
    <HYPERION>\common\JRE  (This is needed for Studio startup.)
    <HYPERION>\common\ADM\9.5.0.0\Essbase  (This is needed for data source connections.)
    <HYPERION>\products\biplus\lib\fr_client.properties  (This defines the FR Client Logging settings.)
    <HYPERION>\products\biplus\lib\fr_global.properties  (This is needed to define the default
    RMI port (FR Studio will try to use 1099 otherwise) and the location of the fr_client.properties file (or else the FRClient.log file doesn't get created).)
    Note that if the Java Runtime (<HYPERION>\common\JRE ) was missing after initial installation, it will be necessary to manually execute <HYPERION>\products\biplus\install\bin\HrRunAnt.cmd.  This is a Windows batch file used to perform post-install configuration steps; it depends on the presence of the java Runtime.

  • Financial Reporting Studio

    Hi john,
    I have created a Report using Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio.
    I can see the report from workspace.
    From where can a user see the report other than workspace?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can save the report to different folders.
    You can view the report either in HTML format or PDF format.
    Make sure you have installed a 3rd party PDF compiler on the FR machine e.g. Ghostscript
    Either:
    --Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0
    --GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6
    You will also need a PDF read such as adobe acrobat.

  • Adhoc Reporting: Webanalysis vs Financial Reporting Studio

    Hi,
    Our client is using Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1 and currently the business users use Financial Reporting Studio for adhoc reporting. I am wondering if they can use Web Analysis to do this? Are there any performance issues if many users are using Webanalysis at the same time? Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind before advising the client?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Amol
    Edited by: user638718 on Apr 7, 2009 5:28 PM

    Hi,
    Web Analysis is definitely aimed more towards adhoc reporting, it is just general adhoc reporting you can also use the excel addin and smartview.
    I take it you are already licensed to use web analysis ?
    Performance well that all depends on the load that is going to be put on the server, specs of machines, amount of concurrent users etc
    Cheers

  • Month, QTD, YTD in prompts - Financial Reporting Studio

    Hi All,
    We developed a report (source: Essbase) using Financial Reporting Studio. We used a prompt for Period Dimension and used all the months in the choices list. We have a new requirement to pull QTD and YTD of the months to the prompt list.
    We have used QTD and YTD from the functions list but while running the report from workspace, it is showing in the user selection list as Month instead of QTD of month or YTD of month (QTD of Feb/YTD of Feb).
    Please suggest if someone worked on the similar case.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ravi

    We have created a Y2D member for our Time Period dimension that may fit your needs:
    IF (@ISACCTYPE(FIRST)) JAN; ELSEIF (@ISACCTYPE(LAST)) &CurrMth; ELSE @SUM(JAN:&CurrMth); ENDIF
    We also have a Q2D member: IF (@ISACCTYPE(FIRST)) &Qtr_St_Mth; ELSEIF (@ISACCTYPE(LAST)) &CurrMth; ELSE @SUM(&Qtr_St_Mth:&CurrMth); ENDIF

    Unless you name your Months like that you cannot do it. A large team from a major consulting firm told me for a year that it was not possible and convinced management that financial statements don't need dates.
    Management decided that we do need dates (because all financials need dates, look at any text book). I figured out a pretty sweet solution that is simple and easy to use and maintain. The users love it. Management loves it.
    I'm not giving it away though.
