Essbase connection - POV in Financial Reporting prompts missing

Hi,
I'm connecting to Essbase using Financial Reporting, this report has 3 POV's. When I go to Workspace and run that report, I only see one POV. When log in as someone else, I see the 3 POV's expected. Does anyone ever encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi,
I had a similiar problem, but really not sure how close it is compared to yours.
My issue was, for a old report,I had 3 "user point of view" dimensions set up, but when I ran them on workspace, I had none of the user POV prompts coming up for selection. I identified that, the user point of view isn't working or not recognized by the report. so below is what i did to get them to work.
1. Navigated to "Dimension Layout" and moved the "user point of view" dimensions to "Pages". Saved it.
2.Then again reverted back the same dimension back to "user point of view" dimension.[Just did this to get rid of the report memory having the user point of view dimensions]
3.Unchecked Grid point of view [Incase if it is checked]
4.Navigated to Task->User Point of View, and for the 3 dimensions in the user point of view, select "Member from List" and for each dimension give more than one selection[ :) ], like sample below.
Dimension: report viewers may select Choices List
Hsp_Audits A Member from List Hsp_Rate_InputValue, Hsp_Rate_USD
Save the report, Try running the report from Workspace. This way i got all my user point of view prompts while running them in workspace.
Thanks,
Leo Jose.

Setting up default value for POV in Financial Reporting Studio

hello
We need to Set up default value for POV in Financial Reporting Studio. For example, we need period to pick up Sep as default value when we run the report.
Is there any way we could do this???
Regards
Neha

Hi Neha,
Yes, there is a way to setup of your grid POV. Take a look at this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/127.html

Financial reporting prompts

Hi,
Could anybody help in this:
I have to create a report in Hyperion Financial Reporting based on the user prompt.
Suppose user enters Nov in the prompt for the Period dimension. I have to show data for Sep Oct Nov months in the report. I have done this using the offset functionality in the Relative member function.
Column A Column B Column C
Sep Oct Nov
Account 1100 1200 1300
But the problem is i am being asked to enter in *3* prompts for 3 columns instead of *1* prompt.
Could anybody help me in this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a similar problem, but things are getting itchy here.
I have two seperate grids, one is using Planning connection, and other is using Essbase connection.
As a result I can not merge the prompts, even if they are exactly same in any aspect.
When I asked to Oracle via an SR, they replied me telling that, this is a known issue and will be fixed in the version 11.1.2.1, and also they are not giving any date.
Can you guys tell me if you have any workarounds for this.
By the way, I have to use two different grids with seperate connections because, first grid uses attribute dimensions (only available in Essbase connections), other one uses Planning Details like text data entry.

Essbase outline locked running Financial Report

Ok, this is a wierd one. We have experienced the Essbase outline getting locked by the user running a Hyperion Financial Report using HFR 9.3.1.0 and Essbase 9.3.1.3.5. The user is an admin, however the outline should not get locked - should it?
I searched for anything similar, but couldn't find anything and was wondering if anyone else has seen this?
many thanks
Rob Armstrong

We walked through each step checking for a lock on the outline and was not able to reproduce at all. This is what I did and had the other user do again:
1) make a new database connection - no lock
2) made a copy and changed an existing report to use the new connection - no lock
3) create a batch for the report - no lock
4) schedule the batch, which the first time forces a login for workspace and essbase - no lock
4) select a busrsting member list - no lock
5) run the batch - no lock
Also asked if anyone edited a report using the id and no one had. I also edited a report and tried several different modifications and could not force it to lock the outline.
Still a mystery, this has happened before and we unlocked and moved on. Same today, the user was still in workspace (or might have been timed out) after submitting the reports earlier today and the outline was still locked after the reports completed.
The only time the outline "should" be locked is when editing via EAS or dimension builds/restructures right? Things haven't changed much in the last 17 years of my using Essbase and this client does not do any fancy API or spreadsheet Add-in work.

HFM icons,explore option and Financial Reporting option missing from Workspace 11.1.2.1

Hi,
We finished installing and configuring hyperion 11.1.2.1. We noticed unusual behavior in Workspace, All the HFM icons are missing from the menu , it is showing some hfm path. Explore option and financial reporting options are also missing from the Preferences and workspace. Can you please advice what could be causing this issue ?
Regards,
Andy

Hi Thanos,
Thanks for the reply. Actually i tried to login to HFM client but it says application not registered. So when i tried to register it from workspace, it gives error. I have already configured all the components but i didn't reconfigure Foundation web server after every component. Is it okay if i do it now when all the components are already configured ? Or do you suggest reconfiguring all the components again followed by Foundation web server ?
Also do you think it will help me get explore option in the workspace ?
Kindly advice. Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Andy

Financial Reporting prompt-Show only members as defined by security filter?

Hello all,
Maybe another simple question but i have been unable to perform this task so far-
We have created a security filter against the Company dimension in essbase, assigned it to a user, and that works ok.
We have a report that prompts the user to choose members from for the Company Dimension.
We would like this prompt to present the users only the members that are accessible per the security filter (i.e. al the descendants of the 'Northwest' member) for that particular user, since by default it presents all members of the Dim.
Is this possible to do?
Thank you very much for your help
Hector

I think what you want are METAREAD filters.Not that you're on Planning, but Planning goes to Essbase (eventually) and when it does so, it inexplicably uses READ instead of METAREAD -- it's the same issue.
Here's an overview of it: http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.com/2009/07/fixing-plannings-filters.html
It should be as simple as clicking on the filter type dropdown in EAS to test if it works.

Cannot connect to hyperion financial reporting in EPM 11.1.2.1

Dear all,
I cannot connect to FR in EPM 11.1.2.1 on test server , and this problem avoid us from migrating to production .
I successfully conigured FR and install it on our system . But we still facing the same problem . We already followed some steps published in OTN .
*1- Reconfigured FR and redeploy and reconfigure web server. but nothing changed*
*2- Create new user and provision him to all roles then refresh the security filters but nothing changed*
The test server is 2008 Win OS , 64 bit.
EPM version is 11.1.2.1 .
we received the following 2 errors .
*1- in FR : "You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator."*
*2-In workspace : "Required application module reporting.HRImport is not configured"*
Kindly, support.

For the below issues, we had the same issues earlier....
we received the following 2 errors .
1- in FR : "You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator."
2-In workspace : "Required application module reporting.HRImport is not configured"
First error will come in different situations....
->If FR studio/BI installed in different server, you are trying to connect from other machine, it will give the error.
For this you need to contact firewall/windows team to open the required ports to be open (ex: 19000/8297,etc), we have asked firewall team to open all hyperion ports from main server to source & vice versa, then it worked.
Note: If BI/FR installed unix, you are trying to access from windows, you need to get all ports to be opened vise versa. please make you are in the same network. try to ping telnet ports from source to destination for each port and vice versa.
->Also the same (1st error) will come if BI services down & not able to ping the FR installed server/work space services. and make sure your admin id should have all admin privilizes.
Second error:
-> Whenever workspace/FR studio services are not up, then will get the error, try to restart directly from /bin folder or try to check the status once you restart (sometimes due to closewait/hung connections), will face issue.
Actuall the same error will come even in 9.3.1 version.
Note: I am just sharing my environment issues and fixes, faced same issues & error and get it resolved with help of windows team. apologize if i am wrong in your envrionment & issue.

Financial Report Installation?

I need to install the Financial Report on a client desktop. As we know, there are 5 components: Financial Report Sheduler Service,Financial Report print server service, Financial Report report server service, Financial Report web application, Financial Report studio client. I think: 1) I should install all of the 4 components on the web server 2) I only need to install the Financial Report Studio Client on the locally desktop for the client. 3). Set up connection from local Financial Report Studio to the server.
Please correct me, thanks!

Hi,
You can also install the client on the server as well, this helps if you need to remote to the server for any reason and have to use the client.
You only need the client install on a a desktop client machine.
When everything is configured to set up planning/essbase connections from in the studio, if you want to manage connections you can do it from workspace.
Cheers

Financial Reports member addition

Gurus,
I have a financial report created based on an essbase cube which has five members NY, CA, DE, MN, and CO. Because these are the members I had these are the members that I see in the Financial reports page. However, now I have just added a member called NJ which is a sibling of these members mentioned above. Now, I want this member also to be included in Financial report. Does it automatically get transfer as these are all the children of a member called STATE? OR do i need to manually add it. What is the way of doing it. Any suggestion would help.
Thanks

Hi Mehmet,
I added the member in essbase cube, and now I can see it in Financial reporting. I have tried to open the related reports in workspace as we create batches to run some of the reports, however, the numbers corresponding to the newly added member does not seem correct. They do not add and something like that What could be the reason. Do i need to wait a while or is there anything else I need to do in Essbase or Planning or Financial reporting studio? Some reports are from one database while others are from a different database. So any advise or help is appreciated.
Thanks

Using Planning vs Essbase connection in financial reports

What are the pros/cons of using an essbase connection for financial reporting vs using a planning connection? we are on 9.2.1. using the Financial reporting studio client. These are basic financial reports-cost center expense reports, income statement, revenue analysis, etc.
I notice that when I use a planning connection, I cannot select any attribute dimensions in my financial report.
Also, are there any differences in the security used with a planning connection vs an essbase connection
Thanks
Jeff

-- "I notice that when I use a planning connection, I cannot select any attribute dimensions in my financial report."
you can select any attribute (see WorkSpace->File->Properties->Financial Reporting...)
-- "Also, are there any differences in the security used with a planning connection vs an essbase connection"
there are not big differences.
We use planning for most of our reports. If report is very big (many rows or lines) we use financial report.

Financial Reporting Studio not allowing to connect to Essbase server

Hi All,
I have installed 11.1.2.2 HFR studio (32 bit installed via workspace) on my machine and After logging in the Studio,
when I try to create the Essbase connection in it, it throws me following error:
"Failed to Connect to server"
"Error connecting to database connection connection_name: Error: Error getting CSS support information for driver [com.hyperion.ap.aps.Driver]"
Any idea to solve this.
I tried following , but this is also not helping:
-- Run the batch script HRRunAnt.cmd in the directory "D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialReportingStudio\products\financialreporting\install\bin"
after installation
Warm Regards,

Hello Celvin,
Thanks a lot for your reply to this post.
Actually, We have foundation on One machine and Essbase on different machine.
So we have installed (R&A) FR on machine where we have Foundation installed.
Also my Essbase machine is having Two instances of Essbase running on it, one on 1423 port and other on 1424 port.
My Environments:
MACHINE 1: Foundation + FR (FR Studio throwing error while creating essbase connection to MACHINE 2, but works opk with VM Machine)
MACHINE 2: Essbase (Two instances, one on 1423, other on 1424 port)
VM Machine: Essbase + foundation + FR on same machine (FR Studio works fine here)
Now, as per the suggested links,
2nd option-->)
we were not having the "admaps.jar" file on Foundation MACHINE 1
. so I copied this file from my other working environment (VM Machine), but I am getting error: "Failed to connect to server" when I try to create an Essbase connection on FR Studio installed on same Foundation Machine 1 to any ESSBASE instance of MACHINE 2.
So, I thought to try the below 1st option as well.
1st option-->)
I tried to set the registry values on foundation machine (FR installed), but very strang, we are not having any Folder in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Hyperion Solutions\FinancialReporting0\HyS9FRReports"
I really Don't know how?
We have configued All the WEB in Single Managed Server on WEBLOGIC.
Also, My working environment is on a 64 bit Vritual Machine from which I copied the "admaps.jar" file to my non-working MACHINE 1.
Also using the FR Studio on this non-working MACHINE 1
, I am NOT able to connect to the Essbase server of VM environment (only one Essbase instance on 1423), also not able to any connect to any of the Essbase instance on port 1423/1424 of MACHINE 2 as well.
Any other idea to get this resolved.?
Again thanks for your time to this post.
Warm Regards,

Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
Here are two other thoughts:
1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.

Cameron Lackpour

Financial reporting database connection type

Hi,
1. what is the difference between using planning and essbase database connection type?
2. FR is able to display supporting detail with the planning connection type?
3. After switching the report to planning connection type from essbase an error message occured
Error executing query: You are trying to open the data form, but cannot because one of the required dimensions is not present in the POV. Possible causes may be that you do not have access to at least one member of a required dimension, or the member selection resulted in no members present. Contact your administrator. Dimension(Scenario)com.hyperion.planning.NotEnoughAccessException
It seems that report is trying to open with POV Scenario set to Scenario (top member) and our user does not have privilege for Scenario member only for its children.
I know i can switch the user POV in preferences to display before report and set up dimensions and it will be stored, but isn't it quite tricky?

You answered your first question. Essbase connection cannot use some FR functions like annotations.
by using annotation function you can show cell notes, planning unit annotation, supporting details
Yes it is little different than a regular Essbase report. You can use ManagePOV.cmd and set User POVs or
Instead of using POV move (scenario in your case) dimension to column and use prompts.

Financial report for essbase and planning application

Hi,
Can any one please explain me what is the difference between creating financial report for essbase application and planning application.
Considering we will have Essbase cube for the planning application
Thanks in advance

Correct, the data that is stored in Essbase will be the same regardless of which connection type you use.
Data that is only stored in Planning can only be retrieved using a Planning connection. This includes Supporting Detail and SmartLists as these are stored in the Planning relational database.
As a general rule I always use an Essbase connection unless i specifically want to get supporting detail or smartlists but that is just me.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I have similar issue and cannot find an answer.
My environment is 11.1.2.1 (upgrade from 11.1.1.3)
All applications working fine (planning, essbase, hfm).
I'm unable to change database connection to hfm (db change to essbase and Plannng works). Error says that I have wrong cluster/server configuration.
Question is how this configuration should lokks like. I already tested:
1. HFMProd - this is cluster name and Server1 as a server in HFMProd cluster
2. No cluster, just Server1
3. HFMProd and Server1 in plus Server1 separately
In all cases the same message.
When I open FR studio I'm able to see reports (from workspace also).
When I try to open report I have an error due to some links to the old server ip (I guess this is taken from connection info that I can not change)
What is more I can create new Planning report in studio, but can not open through workspace.
From Workspace I can manage reporting services so everything is visible correctly (or should be :) ).
Any idea?
regards
Karol
