Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1 Text Funciton

Hi all,
I am using Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1, and I found that when I use Text Function such as <<ReportName()>> and write some Chinese characters in the same text box, the report will show "invalid arguments" error. But if I use text function with English letters, the text function can work without any errors. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Jerry

Hi Mehmet,
Thank you for your response. Sorry I forgot to mention that we were connecting to Planning, not Essbase. I recalled that this problem doesn't exist in the FR 9.1, but for some reasons it happened in FR 11.1.2. I will check the link you provided to see if there is any connection.
By the way, do you happen to know if it's possible to separate the page filters defined in the FR? For example, I would like to have Year and Period as two different filters, not combined as one showing FY12-Jan, FY12-Feb...etc. Thank you in advance!

Text Functions Not Appearing in PDF (Financial Reports)

In the header of Financial Reports we are using common text functions to create the report titles with POVAlias and related functions. These headers correctly appear when printing or web viewing the reports. However, when viewing or printing to PDF - the header appears blank - the function results are not displayed.

Financial Reports - Text function to trim description for charts

Hello!
I have looked at the text functions in Hyperion Financial Reports Studio 9.3.1 to grab either Member Description or Alias ( Planning ) and need to trim or section or segment per the following example:
Member = "C3402" Alias = "C3402 Major Projects South"
Need to get either "Major Projects South" or just "South" to appear in legend or axes description in charts and graphs.
I have tried MID(<<MemberAlias, 1, 1, 1>>), 7,10) is there something else available?
Any suggestions or input appreciated.
Regards
Nigel

I suggest modifying the descriptions as per the reporting needs, because the descriptions are there to be used on the reports. Removing the name from the description would be a good way but you should be sure that it will not have a negative impact on any of the developed parts of the application..

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.)

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.

Financial Reporting 9.1.3 - Modifying Email Body text of cmd line scheduled

I would like to add text to the body of the command line scheduled email that is sent out using Financial Reporting.
Ideally I would like to suppress the text that is automatically added to the body of the email by Financial Reporting as well.
I have modified the subject line by modifying the XML files.
I tried adding text to the body tag, but that does not seem to be working. (no matter what I put into the body tag it does not show up).
any ideas?

Hi,
Have you configured the SMTP server settings in the various config files for the new version that you are using? Your log seems to suggest that it is still set to 'mail' which I think is the default.
I think the minimum you need to do is Essbase, Financial Reporting and Workspace, files as detailed below (paths may vary depending upon platform, windows & tomcat provided below even though it sounds like you've done this before).
Essbase: C:\Hyperion\AnalyticAdministrationServices\server\ OlapAdmin.properties
Financial Reporting: C:\Hyperion\BIPlus\lib\ fr_global.properties
Workspace: log in and select Navigate > Administer > Notifications
You may also need to restart the related services.
Hope this helps

Financial Reporting - Planning 11.1.2.1 Data Source

We are trying to do salary planning, specifically new hire planning at an employee level. Is it possible to have an account of data type text that users could input into a form, and then build reports in Financial Reporting Studio that would display that text? I know there is an ADM driver that allows Financial Reporting Studio Data Sources to use Planning as a data source, but I wanted to survey for input on if and how well that works.

That's exactly what I did last year. Business wanted to see the Job description (they entered it on the form) of the new hires in a report.
In Workspace, create a Planning datasource and when you create your report, map your report to the Planning datasource.
You just need to login to Workspace > Explore > Tools > Database Connection Manager > New > Select Planning as the Type.
Cheers,
Mehmet

HTTP Status 500 message when attempting to open Financial Report.

In a new 9.3.1 installation (BI, Essbase, HFM, Planning) I am unable to run Financial Reports in Workspace. As a test, I have created a simple report, using Studio, which has only boilerplate text - no grids or anything else that requires a DB connection. The report previews fine from the Studio client but when I attempt an HTML preview or when I attempt to run the report from within Workspace, I receive an HTTP Status 500 error in the right panel in Workspace. Below is the text of the error. I am using IIS 6 with Tomcat. My troubleshooting effort have been around IIS and BI configuration. I am able to open Web Analysis documents without any trouble. Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated.

Hi again Ramana,
Did you try any of the following:
1.) Delete Tomcat cache with the following steps
Stop Tomcat.
Remove the folders from <Tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost> directory.
Start Tomcat. (it will delay a few minutes)
The cache will be recreated automatically.
2.) Redeploy Explorer application with wdeploy tool (Location: <install_dir>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\wdeploy)
Syntax
wdeploy <WEB_APP_SERVER> [-D<PROPERTY>=<value>] <ACTION>
Example
-- Undeploy
wdeploy tomcat7 -DAPP=explorer undeploy
-- Deploy
wdeploy tomcat7 -DAPP=explorer deploy

Financial Reporting - Ability to Expand based on Custom list

hi,
Within financial reporting, Is there a way by which I can pick 3 or 4 different accounts and create a Calculated row that can expand or collapse and it is a sum total of those 4 accounts.
For Eg.
Under COGS we have Account A , B, C , D and I want to show
in the Report a column with Text title Others and Others is a sum of C and D.
When the user runs the report they see
COGS
A
B
Others
Now if the user wants to zoom, they can zoom Others and it would show C & D.
I was wondering if such a functionality existed ?

That can be done ..
In HFR member selection Cell , please do the following :
View -> Advanced Select Not operation .
then , In functions select Descendants and move to Right column and select your Particular account - >@Descendants ( "Account ")
In the next row select the Account member which you do not want in the hierarchy and from second row on the right column select Not Operation.
By this way , the new Hierarchy of Account , will not display the members you dont want to be ( Selective Member selection , it can be called)

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.

Financial Reporting making of Dynamic Reports v 11.1.1.2

Hi,
I have recently going through designing of a dynamic report in Financial Reporting which consists of financial representation as follows:
There are some data which is there in the Schedules of accounts.
Now the user wants to a make a drill down of all the account codes there in the schedule like
schedule 13 other income.
All the account codes in Schedule should bw drill down which I am able to make.
Now for each account codes they want a sorting in descending order to find out which entity is contributing to how much revenue for the oraganistion or
similarly for the cost which are in other schedules like 14,15,16 tc.
After that they want a insertion of cell text function for each cell having a combination of account codes and entity which is having a adverse variance and analsis
for the same.
If someone can throw a light on this about how to do this.

I think you have already posted this problem on another post, I said it is possible it could be a ports issue.
Have a look at the following http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-component-communications-11121-354680.xls
Select FR studio as the client and it should give indication to the ports that need to be opened.

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.

How to get the End date of the dynamic period in Financial Reports

Dear All,
I have a issue with the Financial Report, I want to show the text under the Heading in the Balance Sheet like 31 DEC 2008 but in this date should be the end date of the dynamic period what user select in the POV.
Can any one have any idea about this.
Regards
rao.

There are 2 options:
1. Use the POVAlias text function:
e.g. <<POVAlias ("Grid1", DimName)>>
(you could also use POVMember if the items you want is the member and not the alias).
2. Have a hidden column on the report referencing the POV selection, then reference this in the header.

Financial Reporting

Hi everyone,
I am not sure I am asking my question at the right place but I am still trying. I would like to know how to freeze the "header" of a report that I am bulding in "Financial Reporting Studio". By header, I mean the title of my dimension in the column and not the header in the upper text part of the report. I would like that header to appears on each pages I am printing.
Thanks for you help!
Cheers! :))

You can do this by going into Page Setup and choosing the checkbox "Column headings on each page".
