Entering textual data in Hyperion Financial Reports on client side

Our comapny is using Financial Reporting studio tool for reports. Reports are made by the Hyperion administrator and users only can view/read reports through Workspace service. Currently we need that users can put some text into the reports themselves. Can anyone advice some idea on this issue? The version of products we use is 9.3.1

I think this is impossible because of the nature of reporting. When create a financial report grid it prompts you for a login to connect to an essbase/planning app. the majority of the time you are going to enter the credentials of an administrator or a designated dummy report user that has access to query all data.
When a user runs the report, it is this data connection user's rights that will obtain the data. Reporting will not know the security of the planning users based on dimension security roles.

  • Hyperion Financial Reports Studio Client Question

    Hi,
    I have a colleague that is on 11.1.1.3.0.0238 Financial Reports Client. He can connect to the server just fine. However when I try, I get the ole 'You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your Admiinistrator'. However when I use my login/pw on his machine I connect just fine.
    So I need to make sure my client is same version. Is there a file I can copy from his install directory to mine that will make them the same? I can't get the patches as I have no Support Identifier. Usually it's just replacing a few files?
    Thanks

    11.1.1.3.0.0238 should be the unpatched version of Financial Reporting, if you log into workspacew and go to help > about > details you will see the version of financial reporting.
    The server and client usually have to be the same version for it to work so unless you have patched your client you are probably on the same version, if you have patched it then you should be able to tell from Opatch
    If you are not sure then it may be easier just to uninstall FR Studio and install the base version.
    You could also open up or extract HReports.jar which is in the <HYPERION_HOME>\products\biplus\lib folder, go into the META-INF folder, view MANIFEST.MF and look for Implementation-Version:
    There are lots of articles in Oracle Support around the error message you are getting, if you have no support identifier I am sure you will know somebody in your company that should have access.

  • Thread: In Hyperion Financial Reporting can we show comments entered in dat

    Hi,
    I want to show comments in Hyperion financial reports. The data form are against BSO cube and when users enter comments in it they want to see in reports which are against ASO.
    Also, if you can help me if it is possible against same cube?

    Hi,
    I think we can't show it in ASO, but if we have a BSO cube then we have to connect our reports with the Planning data source instead of an Essbase data source and specify on the report to show supporting detail.
    You have to do some settings in the FR_Global.properties which are:
    AllowCellTextAsAnnotation=true, the Cell Text check box on the Report Property sheet is shown (for Financial Management and Planning, not Essbase yet). The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
    AllowPlanningUnitAnnotationsAsAnnotations=true, the Planning Unit Annotations check box on the Report Property sheet is shown for Planning. The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
    AllowDocAttachmentsAsAnnotations=true, the Document Attachments check box on the Report Property Sheet is shown for Financial Management. The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
    Hope this helps.

  • Hyperion Financial Reporting - Export to Excel converting Data to Text

    We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.2.2 with Hyperion Workspace 11.1.2.2 reporting on an ASO Essbase cube version 11.1.2.2.
    When we export a report to Excel any data values that are displayed in the report with a negative ('-', '()', etc.) sign come into Excel as a text value. The cell has the green flag and the single quote in it denoting this a text field. The format is listed as 'Custom'. Updating the format does not remove the single quote.
    The same result is happening if we display the natural sign in the report or if we flip the sign in the report. This DOES NOT happen when choosing the export query ready, only when using the File -> Export -> Excel.
    Does anyone know if there is a hot fix or service pack or configuration to resolve this? How about a work around?
    I thought I remember this happening in 9.2 and being resolved in 9.3. We have recently upgraded from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 and the issue is happening again.
    The users would like to export the formatted report to Excel and be able to interact with the data cells as numbers.

    The issue is reported as a bug. Installing patch 14625370 (11.1.2.2.302) and/or 16088101 (11.1.2.2.303) should fix the problem.

  • What HFM Table contains the Hyperion Financial Reporting Modify Date

    Does anyone know the name of the HFM table that contains the Hyperion Financial Reporting Modify Date field of a Report?
    Thanks!
    Edited by: user2609991 on Sep 1, 2009 8:49 AM

    1. no "HFM Table" stores any information about Financial Reporting reports. Financial Reporting is part of the "BI+" / "Reporting and Analysis" product, so if there was any information to be found in a relational database, it would be in the BI+ schema not the HFM one.
    2. Oracle / Hyperion do not support customers trying to build their own relational database integrations directly into product repositories. To interact with the BI+ product (e.g. to extract modified by dates of FR reports) you should read up on the API and write custom code using that API. More information can be found in the Developers Guide here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hs_developer.pdf and in the "javadoc" documentation that comes with the BI+ product.

  • Cell Text Annotations of Hyperion Planning on Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Hello,
    There is a business requirement to show Cell text entered as annotation on each cells in data form to be reported using Hyperion Financial Reporting.
    Also there is a case of some of the data types being text. Some of the forms also have supporting details.
    Now I want to check how easy or difficult is it to report from Hyperion Planning V11.1.2 for the above mentioned.
    Are there any noticeable performance issues?
    Is it possible to report the cell text annotations , Supporting details & Datatype 'Text' from data form on Financial Report?
    Thanks in advance,
    XX

    I haven't used the text data type, however I have done quite a bit of reporting on supporting detail. All you have to do is use a Hyperion Planning data source instead of an Essbase data source. (and specify on the report to show supporting detail). In general, Hyperion Planning data sources are slightly slower than Essbase data sources. How much slower depends on a lot of factors, but supporting detail can certainly slow things down.
    One key limitation with reports that display this type of data is that it doesn't "roll up" the hierarchies. Your report has to be at the same level (in all dimensions) where the supporting detail was entered. So you can't pick an upper level Entity and show all of the supporting detail for it's descendants unless your report also includes the descendants. I understand why this limitation exists, but I routinely have clients that would like this functionality. (For Example - Show me all of the supporting details for the entire plan.)

  • 5200 : Error in executing  query -- Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Problem in accessing the Hyperion Financial Reports.User is having full access and able to access all the folders except one folder(Legal Folder reports). We are getting 5200: Error Executing the query error. Recently we have upgraded Hyperion to 11.1.1.3 version . Before upgrade user is not facing the problem. After Upgrade user is getting these errors while accessing the reports. we did research and found in "Error 5200: Error Executing Query" When Viewing Financial Reporting (FR) Reports". Is this error is relevant to the Information provided in Metalink and also can you please tell us is there any impact on doing the solution provided in the below. Why is this error is coming is any preferences needs to be changed.Please help us on this.
    Error Description:
    5200: Error executing query
    Servername/ApplicationName/DatabaseName/Error(1007090) Unknown Member name [Current Point of view for years] in Outline Query
    Doc ID 1107142.1:
    Possible Cause 1:
    If members have recently been added, moved, or deleted from the data source, Essbase, HFM, or Planning, the existing User POV records become out of sync.
    The User Point of View record uses indexing to identify the member. If the index changes because of changes in the outline, the User Point of View record no longer points to the correct location in the outline.
    To resolve the issue, you need to run the ManageUserPOV utility on a Windows server that has the Financial Reporting Reports Server, or in a Unix or Linux environment, has the Financial Reporting Print Server installed.
    You will need to provide a BIPlus Global Administrator user ID and password to run the utility.
    The utility will provide the correct syntax to run the command.
    1. In \Hyperion\products\biplus\bin\ManageUserPOV.properties, specify the following parameters:
    a. ReportServer
    b. DatasourceUser
    c. DatasourcePassword
    d. User
    e. Datasource (You can find the datasource in Workspace under Tools>Database Connection Manager in the Name column.)
    2. From the command line, cd to Hyerion\products\biplus\bin
    3. Type in "ManageUserPOV" without the quotes. The executable will read the parameters previously set in the ManageUserPOV.properties file.

  • Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Hi,
    I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
    - different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
    - different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
    - units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
    What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
    (*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
    (**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
    More precisely, the questions are:
    1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
    2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
    2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
    2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
    3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
    Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
    Pawel

    I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
    The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
    1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
    Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
    2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
    2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
    Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
    Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
    3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
    As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
    What is your opinion? Best regards!

  • How to get XML format output from Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Dears,
    We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting to replace FSG in fusion. I found that Hyperion FR report can be exported to html/excel/pdf format. However, I would like the report to export to xml format.It means I only need the xml data source.
    Anyone who knows how to get the xml format output from Hyperion FR, is there any avaiable API?

    I think if you export the report, you will be able to open the .des file in Notepad/Wordpad and see xml content.

  • Hyperion Financial Reporting: Trial Balance Report

    Hi All,
    I am a beginner in Hyperion Financial Reporting. I am trying to create a report for Trial Balance accounts.
    The report should have the all the accounts in the rows and two columns with DEBIT and CREDIT without any other dimensions in the columns.
    I could not setup this grid because we need to have a dimension in the column. It is fine for me to have Period dimension or something like that. But the point is, I dont know how to retrieve the Debit / Credit in two columns.
    I thought a lot to see if we can do this with sign of the data or the type of the accounts. But could not get an idea.
    Does this require any customization in FR? Is there anyway to achieve this?
                                       Debit     Credit
    Account 1                    1000
    Account 2                                   1000
    Account 3                    1000
    Account 4                                   1000
    Variance                         0               0

    Hi,
    Let me understand your issue here. You have Trial balance report which has 2 column: Debit and Credit. What connection do you have ? Is it Planning, HFM or other sources ? Normally, when you are using dimension, you should have another dimension, apart from Account that consist of Debit and Credit, which you can call during reporting design. The only requirement when you build a standard reporting with FR or Smartview is you need to place 1 dimension in row and 1 dimension in column. If you are using Hyperion, such as Planning and HFM, you should have more than 1 dimension.
    If you don't store any Debit/Credit data, then you won't be able to get that. As far as I know, this Debit/Credit exist in Trial balance report, which is an extraction from GL. When FDM or other ETL tool pushes this data as a base data for HFM, the Debit/Credit data will be translated as plus/minus data in HFM. Say, Cash in TB closing should be in Credit. In HFM, this cash displays in positive value. Otherwise, if Cash in TB closing is in Debit, then in HFM, this should be negative. But this rules will apply differently to other accounts.
    I hope this help.
    Regards,
    Anna

  • Sort Columns in Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Hello Experts,
    Am a rookie in Hyperion Financial Reporting. I need to know how to carry out the following actions while developing the reports.
    1) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to arrange the columns in an ascending order during view time when all the columns within the range are displayed in the report?
    2) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to suppress selected columns within the range.

    Hi,
    probably there should not be any need of using substitution variable.
    Use following functions: (assume you selected "Mar2008" )
    Range from Apr2007 to Mar 2008
    Now you have to derive the underline values.
    Apr2007 ---> Use "Relative Member" function and offset the Current User POV by -12.
    Mar2008 ----> Current User POV.
    This way you will always get the last 12 months.
    Hopefully this will solve your problem.
