FDM Report Changes

Is it possible to change FDM reports via the Workbench? I haven't checked yet and thought I'd post here first.
I want to add parameters in such as a date range. I don't have any experience in changing the reports so I'm hoping this wont need any coding change and will be a simple drag and drop. Wishful thinking?!

Hello,
FDM Reports are written with an engine called Active. It is similar to creating forms inside of Microsoft Access.
It does require knownledge of VBScript and the Active Engine.
Thank you.

  • FDM Report Engine - MS Office

    I need to publish FDM report in default view - MS Excel Office in Web on the Check step (4th fish).
    I changed in Workbench Report Properties parameter "Report Engine" from Active to MS Office i have an error  while launching a report.
    Maybe there are some extra settings or extra xml scripts which i need to do for success display reports with parameter in Report Engine - MS Office?
    Waiting for your answers.
    Thanks
    El

    The report engine must be set to "Active" for all of the reports to run successfully, this cannot be changed.
    The report default publish type Can be changed in the "Web Settings"
    Choose Administraiton > Web Settings
    Set the Default Report Publish Type to WORD from the default setting of PDF and save.
    If you would like users to change this in their settings check the "Enable Default Report Type Override" and then user can change this in user settings if they do not want it to be Word.   

  • Format of the analytic reports changed in OBIEE11g after restart.

    Hi all,
    After restarting the BI server, the format of the reports changed.
    The analytic reports header font sizes has been increased and the report is not showing in tabular view instead it is showing results as in a notepad.
    What might be the issue which caused these changes?
    Please help me in regarding this..
    Thanks & Regards,
    Kalyan.

    as such we cant say it is an error from BI.....not sure what might be going wrong or is the tool acting upon.
    Once bounce all services and look at it.
    UPDATED POST
    No need of changing any config files as such for that behaviour.....might be something wrong going with the BI tool.
    Never i faced such issue as i was working on BI 11g
    Cheers,

    Some features of BI 7 are
    1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
    2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
    3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
    4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
    5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
    6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too.

  • On transaction FBL3N  report change layout and save layout icons  not activ

    Hi,
    I am working on upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC6.0. On transaction FBL3N  report change layout and save layout icons  not active; only select layout icon is active.
    Please advise how these two icons can be activated.
    saeed

    Hi,
    The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
    contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70.
    Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
    most restricted one: You can only select layouts which have
    been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
    named above are inactive with activity 03.
    I guess that your user-id have set activity 03 for this object.
    The SAP notes 374656 and 409190 are recommended.
    So, if the values 01 and 02 are not included, then
    the user can't change and save layouts.
    For the line item display in FI the authorization
    object FI_IT_ALV has been created as an extra security check in addi-
    tion to the ALV authorization object S_ALV_LAYO.
    Please check note 374656 where you should be able to find
    relevant info about this. Also note 637554 should be helpful.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • FDM Reports publishing empty contents

    Hi All,
    We upgraded FDM from 9 to 11.1.2.1 approximately two years back.
    The testing was not conducted as the hole and later the issues are raising, Now the problem is No Reports are publishing with contents. Means report window opens with empty content. An additional information that I am able to see the RPX files in the report folder in the installed path. So they migrated the report artifacts also.
    Please suggest me how to debug this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    KR

    First of all, if they are all doing it, I'd be suspect that some type of configuration item is to blame. What happens if you make a new report?
    To help narrow this down, here's what I'd do...
    #1 - Go to Server and open Workbench client
    #2 - Login / Open App
    #3 - In the window pane on the left that Shows Adapters, Scripts, and Reports, click on Reports.
    #4 - Find one of the reports in question
    #5 - Double click on report which should open the Report Properties window
    #6 - Click on the SQL Statement tab
    #7 - Click on the Zoom button
    #8 - Click on the Preview Data button
    If no data here, there is EITHER some form of a communication issue between FDM/Reports and database. or there's no data....
    Then I'd .....
    #1 - Copy the SQL Statement
    #2 - Connect to SQL Server and execute query against database to see if data is returned.
    If data is found, there is a communication issue (physical or user access to tables) between FDM and your database, review database settings to confirm that settings look correct on FDM And confirm in the database that the user being used has access to the tables
    being referenced...
    If you did get data from the query, then I'd look more carefully at the report itself.
    #1 - In reports panel on the left, right click on the report you are investigating and Design Report
    #2 - Verify the report open in the designer correctly.
    #3 - At the top of the report area are two tabs, Design and Preview. Click on Preview and it will then generate a report. Verify if this is working.
    Depending on how that turns out, you might get more clues as to where to look next.

  • Activity Report Changes

    Due to some difficulty with a client, I am researching a
    way we might report changes that occur in a multi-user
    schedule within a user-specified period.
    <br
    />Claim digger compares schedules, I need to track
    changes in a day and print it into a report.

    Hi,
    Making frequent baselines
    and using claim digger to compare the schedules might
    be your best option. Depending on the changes you want
    to track this might be possible by using
    reports/layouts instead of Claim Digger. I'd recommend
    contacting support to discuss some more of your

  • FDM reporting component manual

    Hi all I have FDQM v.11.1.2.1.
    Currently I'm trying to create some custom reports for a SOX requirement from our client. I was checking the FDM admin manual looking for a reference but all I could find was and I quote "You can also use Design Report to create reports. For modifying or creating reports, advanced knowledge of FDM reporting components is required."
    I've been looking for that manual with no results so far, also I'm looking for a document with the description of the existing reports within the adapter I'm using (FM11X-G5-E) more exactly the System Report -> System Activity Log Flor Key (Trans Key) and the description of every key you could choose in that report.
    Any help would be highly appreciated

    There is not any documentation on the report designer. It uses the Active Reports Engine, you can search the web for documentation on Active Reports for information on the designer.

  • Run FDM Report on Multiple Location

    Hello,
    We are on FDM 11.1.2.1. What I'm trying to do is design/change one of the can reports out of FDM so that it will run on multiple locations. I can get the report to run on the current location, a location selected by the user or can get it to run on all locations (takes way too long). What I would like to be able to do is set it up to run the report for all of the children under a control review location. Has anyone ever attempted this or do you have any insight into how to accomplish this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Jason

    Some food for thought.
    The easiest way to do this would be to have a stored procedure / SQL query that the report is going to hit that will give it exactly what it needs.
    - If you are OK with hard coding values into locations, I agree that the Group Tag idea is good. You could retrieve all of the locations with a query like :
    select * from tPOVPartition where PartNotes = 'GroupNameHere'or assuming it is going to be used in there where clause :
    Select blah blah blah
    from blah blah blah
    where blah blah blah and (PartitionKey in (select PartitionKey from tPOVPartition where PartNotes = 'GroupNameHere'))
    - If you are NOT OK with hard coding Group Tags and want to just let the natural hierarchy work, there is hope.
    By using the tStructParitionLinks table, you can traverse the hierachy and get your list.
    Assuming You have nothing deeper than 1 level, the follow SQL will work:
    (NOTE: Start Location would be the parent and Endlocation would be the child)
    SELECT     a.StartLocationID, a.EndLocationID, b.PartName
    FROM         tStructPartitionLinks AS a INNER JOIN
                          tPOVPartition AS b ON a.EndLocationID = b.PartitionKey
    where a.StartLocationID = <starting parent ID>The problem here is that if you have multiple nested levels, this query is not going to return all of the base items. If you need something to do that, than what you want to do is create a nested stored procedure. I'm not going to supply one as it would take me a bit to write it up.
    The basic premise is :
    - The stored procedure takes an input parameter, ParentID
    - The stored procedure uses a temp table to hold results
    - The stored procedure keeps track of it's recursive level and starts at one. (SQL Server handles this built in, assume oracle does as well)
    - When you call the routine, it takes the ParentID, scans the Partition Link table and pulls all children that are tied directly to it.
    - For each of the children, it adds an entry to the temp database table.
    - Then it checks to see if that child record is also a parent in the table.
    - If it is a parent, it calls another instance of itself (stored procedure) this time passing the child ID as the parent ID
    - Eventually after you've exhausted all of the children/parents, you end up at the end of the initial call and at this point, you return the contents of the temp table.
    - A third option, would be to use FDM script to accomplish this. In theory you could kick something off in a script, have it pull the list of children, and have it pass that info to the report and run it..... The following script will give you a listing of children for a parent :
    Sub ShowChildren()
    'Hyperion FDM CUSTOM Script:
    'Created By:       cbeyer
    'Date Created:       2012-02-22-10:43:06
    'Purpose:
    'Declare variables
    Dim lngLocID
    Dim lngParentID
    Dim strParentName
    Dim strChildren
    'Get current ID by current POV
    'NOTE: You could easily change this around to accept a parameter, etc, by using GetName/GetID calls shown below.
    lngLocID = STRUCTMGR.fGetLocationIDFromName(API.POVMgr.PPOVLocation)
    'Get parent ID
    lngParentID = STRUCTMGR.fGetLocationParent("Controls", lngLocID)
    'Get Name of parent
    strParentName = STRUCTMGR.fGetLocationName("Controls", lngParentID)
    'Create recordset and Enumerate children
    With STRUCTMGR.frsChildrenAll("Controls", lngLocID)
       If Not .BOF And Not .EOF Then
           Do While Not .EOF
              strChildren = strChildren & .Fields("PartName").Value & vbCrLf
              .MoveNext
           Loop
       Else
           'No children
           strChildren = "Location has no children"
       End If
       'Close recordset
       .Close
    End With
    'Display the children information
    If LCase(API.DataWindow.Connection.PstrClientType) = "workbench" Then
         MsgBox "List of Children for " & strParentName & " : " & strChildren
    Else
         'Web Client (Set API action properties)
         RES.PlngActionType = 2                    
         RES.PstrActionValue = "List of Children for " & strParentName & " : " & strChildren

  • Report changes for Multiple sets of books

    Hi,
    I am new to the financials suite. What changes would be needed in reports to make them global and run across multiple sets of books and currencies.
    I was thinking of eliminating any _all tables. I am not sure on what SOB related parameter changes would be needed.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Are the existing reports Standard or Custom Reports?
    If they are Standard then they should work for any SOB.
    If they are Custom Reports then I suggest you to run them in the development instance and see if you are getting any errors.
    For more info you can refer to chapter 4 & 5 of multi org user guide in the following link http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_08/current/acrobat/115multorg.pdf

  • Withholding tax master data report changes in SAP FI

    Hi All,
    In our client according to new audit requirements improvements have to be done for the withholding tax report. According to the the requirements changes only functionality has to be added to the main selection screen of the withholding tax master data report.
    Changes only functionality has to be added to the selection screen of the report, the report has to display changes made to the tax master data with in a range of period, this was achieved easily by making program changes. Only issue now is when we do it in development client its showing us properly but when we do it in production it is not working because when ever we do any configuration changes we do it in the development client and transport it to production client so the changes done to any configuration with respect to WHT are not recorded in the production environment as they are transported from development client.
    So, we are unable to achieve this in production client, please help me out with this issue.
    Tthanks in advance
