Data src Financial Reporting studio

Hi i'm a BO guy and new to hyperion. My doubt is if i have a fact table and a couple of dimensions as oracle data structures,can i create a connection to oracle and import tables to create a report in Frinancial reporting studio ?
will it work this way in hypern?
If possible pls list some highlevel points on the procedure.

You will want to use Interactive Reporting to work with Relational Data
A more laborsome approach is to port the data into Essbase through Analytic Integration Services then use Financial Reports to query the Essbase Cube.

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

Financial Reports and Essbase Dimenisons

Hi,
I am new to Hyperion. We are working on static reports using Financial Reports. Currently we have 122 static reports.
But now the application requires adding new dimension to the Essbase schema. Will adding new dimensions affect all the existing reports? I mean will it require to redevelop all the reports? It will be a great amount of work and downtime will affect our production.
Will appreciate help on this.
Thanks,
KK

But now the application requires adding new dimension
to the Essbase schema. Will adding new dimensions
affect all the existing reports?I don't use the Hyperion Reports product but have used Essbase for about 12 years. Anytime you add a dimension to an Essbase database, you will have work to do on the reporting side as Essbase essentially stores data at the 'intersection' of a member from each dimension in the database. At the least, you will have to add the dimension member to the report.
There is, however, one exception to the rule and that is if the dimension you add is an 'attribute' dimension. Attribute dimensions are treated as 'optional' dimensions for reporting and thus, if the dimension you added is an attribute dimension, you should not have to modify your reports.

Is Financial Reporting 9.3 compatible with Essbase 7.x?

Can Financial Reporting 9.3 be used against Essbase 7.x applications?
Thanks,
Dan

It's even compatible with essbase 6.5.1, I created a proof of concept as an example against an old data source and it seems to work as well as the current 931 version.

Security on Essbase with Financial Reporting

I am current working on some improvement of my financial reports on essbase, all running at 9.3.1.
I have some users that I have to setup the meta security on the essbase entity dimension. For example, a user is only able to see the entity East and all the divisions under East; but the same user is not allow even to see the meta-data for other regions, e.g. he/she does not even to know there are some South, Central regions at all. Meanwhile I have some financial reports which include all the regions in the row headers. I would like to user to be able to open this reports and see their own region only, and the administrators can see all the regions.
However, currently when the user (with only East metadata and data security access) got some error message while he is trying to open the financial report (with all the regions listed in the row).
I wonder whether there is any solutions on that. I am thinking the following possibilities:
1. In 9.3.1, is it possible to have the essbase connection userid different from the financial reports userid? I have tried to modify the database connection in the workspace database connection manager, but however, when I check the essbase server log, while I am opening the FR, I still see the FR userid;
2. Any other options that is available in FR, e.g. suppress such kind of errors?
Please advise. Thanks in advance

Hello. Are you using Essbase for financial consolidation or just reporting?

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.

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.

Essbase UDAs with Financial Reporting

Hi All,
I am suggesting client to use Reports with Essbase and the application is built with extensive use of UDAs. My question was whether Reports can be easily designed using UDAs on Financial Reporting.
THanx in Advance
Cheers

Yes, Financial Reports can be designed around UDAs:
Under the Select members dialog Window, Click the Function tab, then add the Property function, here is where you select UDA.
For example, we use the following to restrict members: Children of Sales Group AND UDA = Group_B
We use more substitution variables in reports than UDAs, is there are particular problem you are looking to solve?

How can I print Essbase database notes information in Financial reports?

How can I print Essbase database notes information in Financial reports? As a requirements, I need to print certain database information in reports such as application refresh date/time and data source - from where my database is updated from.
Edited by: 872346 on Jul 13, 2011 1:50 PM

Unfortunately, none of those text functions are going to pull the database note. Hardly anything does other than the add-in.
Maybe the OP could stick that information into an LRO? Then he could use CellText to get the info out.

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.

Proxy error while running the financial report in workspace.

Hi,
We are using the Hyperion financial reporting 9.3.1 with Essbase as a data source.
While running a report in workspace, we are getting the 'Proxy error' meassage, which is following-
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
'<html><head>
<title>502 Proxy Error</title>

Reason: Error reading from remote server
</body></html>"
Do anybody have any idea on this? Any help will be appriciated on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Hi Iain,
We are using Microsoft Internet explorer 6.0. I am not sure about the 'proxy' (As we don't have any proxy setting in Tool--> Internet options--> connection--> LAN setting). We are accessing the Workspace and FR studio via Citrix application. How can I check the proxy.
Also, I noticed one more point, Report has prompt for seleting 'Account hierarchy'.If we run the report only for one account hierarchy, report is returning the data but while running for multiple account hierarchy, it is throwing the 'Proxy error' as memtioned above.
Please help us on this.
Thank & Regards,
Mohit

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

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin documentation?

I'm very troubled with the way how Oracle sets up its website and naming. Sorry for venting a bit
But it's absolutely frustrating when people stumble upon this section
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/overview/index.html
and don't know where to look for a specific application.
Anyway, my question is, where is Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin guide located? which section?
I tried to google but no result.
Thanks for reading.

@Jeo123:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html
The first link you listed doesn't include Financial Reporting Studio. That's exactly my problem. Most clients I work with have Essbase, Planning, EPMA, and FRS. These are the 4 basic components of Hyperion system.
@RaulRodriguez:
The reporting piece is under reporting and analysis:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_4.htm
Thanks.....I actually found that on Google. But unfortunately, I'm on 11.1.2.1. And Oracle's site doesn't have a section set up for 11.1.2.1 like they do for 11.1.2.2. And the problem I have actually goes back to using "Usage Tracking" and setting up through BI+ server that you suggested last time. Since you said that certain method can only be done that way on 11.1.2.1, so I was looking for that doc. Otherwise, I could've used 11.1.2.2 instead.
Bummer.
