Exporting scheduled financial report batches with LCM

Hi folks. Running 11.1.1.3 EPM here.
I'm trying to use LCM to export scheduled Financial Reporting batches. When I am in Shared Services under Reporting and Analysis, under the Scheduled Objects drilldown, I don't see any scheduled objects yet I have about 200 FR batch reports scheduled on my dev server.
Am I looking in the wrong place to export these or is there another way?
Thanks,
Tom

Sorry I wan't aware the folder structure was different in 11.1.2. I found this on the LCM admin guide:
Default value: This parameter is commented out and the Lifecycle Management engine uses the default file system location on the Shared Services computer; for example:
MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/username@ProviderName.
Do you see it now?

Problem exporting a Financial Report to excel

Hello Everyone,
Of several users who have tested this functionality, I only have 1 user who is experiencing this problem, however we can't figure out what's wrong... Here is what is happening:
1. Run a financial report from the web-portal using HTML preview
2. Once the report is displayed in HTML, he goes to File | export | fully formated excel file (he also tried with the query ready report and had the same problem)
3. he is prompted to either save or open this xml file
4. he selects open, he gets an excel window and is prompted with the following: "Please select how you would like to open this file:" and the radio button options are: "as an xml list", "As a read-only workbook", "use the xml source task pane".
5. he selects "as an xml list" he then is prompted with the following: "The specified source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create a schema based on the xml source data."
6. he clicks on "ok" and the result is what looks like an excel pivot table except is says "error" in one of the cells and then an adjacent cell says: Logon Failed. User Name must not be empty.
No matter which combination of the options he chooses, he sees the same result.
In addition, I know it is not a problem with his ID b/c he can run the report AND export to excel just fine when he does it from my computer!
Has anyone seen this problem before? Is this maybe a setting that needs to be changed? etc...?
FYI - we are in the final stages of migrating to system 9 so our current configuration is as follows: Financial Reports / Workspace version 9.3.1 however his run time client on is version 7.1.2 and the essbase cube is version 9.3.1. I have several other people who have run the same report, against the same essbase cube, also using the ver 7 RTC and it works fine.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance for any help!

Warning message when exporting a Financial Report to Excel 2007

Excel 2007 users that attempt to export a fully formatted Financial Report into Excel 2007 get the following error message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'FileName.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
I am still researching the behavior that users get when they click through the message, but would ideally like for the message not to appear without updating the client machine registries. Has anybody else run across this?
Excel 2007
BI Plus version: 9.3.1.0.0.248

It looks like this is a known issue addressed in Bug 7359171 - EXPORT TO EXCEL 2007 CAUSES FILE FORMAT WARNING:
The current design does not allow you to open HTML content from a web site in Excel unless the extension of the URL is .HTM/.HTML/.MHT/.MHTML. So ASP pages that return HTML and set the MIME type to something like XLS to try to force the HTML to open in Excel instead of the web browser (as expected) will always get the security alert since the content does not match the MIME type. If you use an HTML MIME type, then the web browser will open the content instead of Excel. So there is no good workaround for this case because of the lack of a special MIME type for HTML/MHTML that is Excel specific. You can add your own MIME type if you control both the web server and the client desktops that need access to it but, otherwise the best option is to use a different file format or alert your users of the warning and tell them to select Yes to the dialog.
Another Workaround :
Client Configuration of Extension Hardening.
Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior ofthe Excel 2007 client in the following ways:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\SecurityValue: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening" = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]Default setting if value not present is 1 (enable and prompt).
The client can configure the site to disable the check by setting ExtensionHardening = 0. This will stop the prompt from appearing, but it will also disable any future checks for the file content validity. This does not (in itself) lower your security. The check is part of a defense-in-depth strategy to prevent malicious users from crafting files of a different type than its extension (or MIME type), which could then be used to trick users into opening a file of a type they did not expect. This warning is designed to let the user know of this potential threat and given them an option of canceling the open if they wish.

Financial Report/Batch report deletion by mistake

Hello Gurus,
We seemed to have deleted one of the Financial Reports and one batch report from the Workspace folder.
Is there any way to check and see if it is stored in some place in the hyperion directory.
Thanks

A financial report is stored in both the RAF relational repository and within the RAF data directory, when you delete the report it will be removed from both these locations.
Cheers

Financial Reporting Batch Scheduler Error - EPM 11.1.2.1

Hi,
I just downloaded, installed and configured 11.1.2.1 on a test server. Defaults were used and all products have been configured to run on the same database (SQL Server). Mostly everything seems to be working, but when I try to open up "Batch Scheduler", I get an error:
Code: 0
Description: ; nested exception is:
com.hyperion.reporting.util.HyperionReportException: ; nested exception is:
*java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'FR_SCHEDULER_DATA'.*
I click on "OK" and I'm in the Batch Scheduler window, but then when I schedule a batch, and click on "Finish", I get a Warning "A member must be provided for the Prompt":
Code: 2021
Description: A Member must be provided for the Prompt
The scheduled batch does not show up in the Batch Scheduler window though.
Any ideas on how I would go about rectifying this error?
Thank you
Dan

Hi,
I just realized that I was connecting to an instance of SQL Server running 2000. Redid the deployment against SQL Server 2008 and everything's working fine now.

Financial Reporting batch runs without being scheduled when services restart

Hi,
hopefully someone may have come across this before:
I set up a scheduled batch yesterday (workspace 11.1.1.1.3) pointing at a batch of 2 large reports. As part of the testing I ran it at a scheduled time during the day and it worked perfectly. However the following morning it ran the batch again even though there was nothing in the scheduler (and I checked the scheduled job and it still said last run time 14:29 the previous day). However the snapshots that it produces had been updated overnight. One thing to add is that we shutdown all the Hyperion Services (to allow for a system backup) and they had just come up when the reports ran (could see the batch request in the FR log). Is there a way of stopping this from happening i.e. some setting/config I need to change?
Thanks,
J.

Financial Reporting batch reports run slow at random

FR reports version: 11.1.2.1
This is a summary of our environment:
-Linux server where Hyperion batch reports run
-Linux (SLES-11) server where Essbase resides
-Windows 2008 server where Hyperion Print Service and GhostScript reside
This is what we observed this morning:
Batch reports are executed serially by a master shell script.
One of these reports takes 30+ minutes to complete. The exact same report usually completes in less than 3 minutes.
This problem occurs 3 to 5 times each morning, and not necessarily on the same report.
While the report shows ‘Running’ in the Hyperion Batch Scheduler, there is no process present on reports server. There is no active session on Essbase. There is no active print process on the print server.
Eventually, the report completes successfully and the pdf file is present on reports server.
We haven’t been able to determine where the process is during the period that it appears to be stuck. The best we can do is to look at the status on the Batch Scheduler. It is not a practical option for us to schedule everything using the Batch Scheduler on a daily basis.(this is what Oracle is suggesting, by the way).
Has anybody experienced similar FR batch reports slowness?
Thanks.

IT parsed the HTML into csv so that another program could compare a Trial Balance from HFM with a Trial Balance from the source GL system to ensure all data got imported to HFM.

Hyperion Financial Reports - Batch Email Distribution List disappeared

In FR, when you schedule a batch, you can add e-mail addresses to a receipient list. These e-mail addresses can then be selected so these individuals receive the e-mail with the reports attached. Has anyone had the problem where the receipent list completely disappears? We had this happen 1 time back in 2010 just after we implemented and then just happened again today in 2012. Does anyone know the cause? We can add the names back in but would like to know cause so we don't do it again?

What version is this?

Export Scheduled Discoverer10g Report to Sharepoint Website.

Hi,
I am using Oracle Discoverer 10g and have a question regarding Disoverer integration with Sharepoint.
Can a Discoverer10g scheduled report be placed on Sharepoint site and if so,how?
Edited by: help-required on May 8, 2009 5:27 PM
Edited by: help-required on May 8, 2009 6:05 PM

Hi
There is no direct interface between Discoverer and Microsoft Sharepoint and, out of the box, automated exports from Discoverer are not provided by Oracle.
However, the Discoverer Desktop tool has a means of running in what is known as the command line interface. Using this interface, called from a script, we can automate the scheduling and exporting of Discoverer data into a number of formats.
If you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook pages 495 to 509 cover controlling this scheduling in depth. There have also been numerous postings in this forum concerning automated scheduling and exporting and I have a free presentation available from my website here: http://ascbi.com/downloads/downloads.htm
Take a look at this thread: newbie: is it possible to automate the export to Excel
Best wishes

Configure SMTP server in Essbase 11.1.2.1 for scheduling financial reports

Hi,
While scheduling the FR reports, I need to send the status mail. But I am not able to add smtp server in frconfig.cmd MBeans as the writable option is "false". Tried to change this option to "true" but it is not changing.
It will be great if you could provide any solution to add smtp server details here?
Thanks,
Dinish

It can also be configured in the EPM configurator under common components.
Cheers

Hyperion Financial Reports Issue with POV disappearing

Hi
We have Essbase reports that have been in production for quite some time. Just recently when users run the reports some users (not all) do not get the full POV selection. This is happening with different reports and different users so we have not found anything that anyone has in common. Has anyone experienced something like this? We are on version 9.3.1.3.

Have you tried after installing latest patch 11.1.2.1.127
