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.

Financial Reporting Studio Problem...

Hi John,
that my Variance problem was solved with the help of the last post, I created one Report in Financial Reporting Studio. But when I want to Web Preview for the report in Workspace I get the following message-
*5200: Error executing query: Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.com.hyperion.planning.olap.NoAvailableOlapConnectionsException*
Then I thought of trying Print Preview which threw the same error.
What needs to be done John?? I restarted all the services and Essabse as well. But nothing helped.
Please advise.

John. I am sorry to ask this, a different question. Actually I just faced a severe problem while trying that report issue. I give the details below-
I created one group and assigned it only Dimension Editor and Application Creator roles. And further created one user and put it into that group.
Next created one application(*TestApp*) in Workspace yesterday. Now as I faced the FR issue and according to you I created one application(*app*) in Workspace, this time with admin(as you told) and tried to create report and eventually failed which wrote in one but last post.
Then according to your last reply I restarted the services and and entered the Workspace with the new user. But here comes the problem, I can't see my application that I had created under this user. All I could see is the application that I had created using admin(for trying the FR issue).
I mean... I am very confused.... created one application with a new user, but it got replaced by an application that was created with admin, and with a different name.
But I still can see the database in EAS and it is intact. And when right click on the TestApp and see the User/group access, I can see admin and that new user.
John pls don't get angry... I know it's a different issue.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Error message when logging into financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3

I receive the following error message when I attempt to login in to financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3:
"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Please contact your administrator."
I'm attempting to login with the default "admin" user that appears to have been automatically provisioned with all user rights.
I see the following error message in FRClient.log (on the client):
09-14 13:48:40 ERROR ConfigResourceBundle Could not find fr_configcache.properties file
The server components (foundation, fr server, essbase) are on a linux machine and fr studio (along with the common foundation files) are installed on a windows machine.
The fr_configcache.properties file does not exist on the client but it does on the server.
Edited by: user5326851 on Sep 14, 2010 1:59 PM

I tried copying the file fr_configcache.properties to c:\hyperion\products\biplus\lib and this got rid of the error message that shows up in FRClient.log but I still receive the same authorization error message in the GUI.

Financial Reporting Studio Client Installation Error

Hi,
today i tried to install Financial Reporting Studio on my own computer to access the data stored on a server landscape. After successfull installation, when I try to login I receive the following error message: You are not Authorized to use this Functionality. Please contact Administrator
Nevertheless, I am the admin so I need to contact myself. I tried a lot of things today and read a lot of threads, still no solution. I can run the Reporting Studio from any of my servers and use the URL http://webserver:19000 It works when run from any of the servers. But when I try it from the "outside" I always get the error above. I can access all other Hyperion Components from my computer, hence the environment is configured right to that extend.
Do you have any suggestions on this error?
Thank you very much,
Best Regards
Philipp
I run: Windows Vista
FinRep Studio: 11.1.0.2507

I have the same issue with 11.1.1.3 and Windows 7 which we recently installed.. Initially, Financial Reporting would not launch but after we did the steps mentioned below, we the studio opens and we can access our Repository. However, we get a 'Failed to connect to Server...' for each of our HFM and Essbase reports. Any ideas?
Thx,
Mike
We followed the below steps
manually copy the following folders and files from a working 32-bit Windows machine:
<HYPERION>\common\JRE (This is needed for Studio startup.)
<HYPERION>\common\ADM\9.5.0.0\Essbase (This is needed for data source connections.)
<HYPERION>\products\biplus\lib\fr_client.properties (This defines the FR Client Logging settings.)
<HYPERION>\products\biplus\lib\fr_global.properties (This is needed to define the default
RMI port (FR Studio will try to use 1099 otherwise) and the location of the fr_client.properties file (or else the FRClient.log file doesn't get created).)
Note that if the Java Runtime (<HYPERION>\common\JRE ) was missing after initial installation, it will be necessary to manually execute <HYPERION>\products\biplus\install\bin\HrRunAnt.cmd. This is a Windows batch file used to perform post-install configuration steps; it depends on the presence of the java Runtime.

Financial reporting studio compatibility

Hi,
We have two Hyperion projects( 1st team uses 11.1.1.3 and 2nd team uses 11.1.2.1) in the company . Now Financial reporting developer wants to create reports for both the projects using same FR studio. Please advice how to connect to Essbase 11.1.2.1 using Financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3 or vice versa.
We keep on getting following error :
"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator."
We also tried logging in as "admin" but still the same error.
Thanks

Hi
Normally I would say backward compatability woui ldbe more likely to work, i.e. connecting to 11.1.1.3 Essbase from the 11.1.2.1 FR but according to the supported platforms document that I have seen for v11.1.2.x the 11.1.2.1 FR release is only compatible with v9.3.3 and not 11.1.1.3.
Seems strange that it would work with 9.3.3 and not 11.1.1.3 but that is what it states.
Hope this helps

Problem with Periods' point of view on Financial Reporting Studio

Hy all,
i have a problem on some reports: i fix Periods' Point of View on Financial Reporting Studio signing in with Admin user. I do this to let other users see just a part of the dimension structure on workspace,but when i open workspace signing in with a generic user i can't see any changing: user can see all elements of the dimension. Otherwise If i sign on workspace with admin user i can see the Periods'POV i have fixed on reporting studio previously. So do you have any idea on what i can do to solve this problem?

Hi,
Could u plz clarify your problem bit more.
Are you facing a problem while running the reports through work space..? While running the reports, is affected generic user getting a POV window..? If you are concerning about hierarchy that you select through POV window then It might be possible that POV might have got corrupted for that generic user and in that case we can delete the POV and set up the new POV again for that user.

Unable to connect in Financial Reporting Studio

Hi,
I am trying to connect to Essbase from FR with the following database connection properties and am getting errors as follows.
Database connection Name - abcd (some name)
Type - Essbase
server - phani (this is the database server)
User ID - admin (this is the db user name)
password - password (this is the db password)
Application -
database - basic (this is the database name)
1) The first problem is when clicking on the icon next to Application text box, it displays the following error.
"Failed to connect to server"
I have also done the Stop_BIPlus.bat and Start_BIPlus.bat but still i am getting the same error. Can anyone of you kindly help me what should i do.

Hi,
If you haven't checked it might be worth checking that all of the necessary services are running, and there are a few! I have also experienced issues if services are not started in the correct order.
For Hyperion Financial Reporting (Studio or Workspace) the following order works for us:
1. BI+ Core Services
2. Workspace
3. Financial Reporting Java RMI
4. Financial Reporting Print Server
5. Financial Reporting Report Server
6. Financial Reporting Scheduler Server
7. Financial Reporting Web Server
We have always tended to manage services from the control panel (Windows OS) so I am afraid that I'm not sure how the above relates to your .bat options.
Hope that this helps

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 PDF not Configured for Web Server

I have installed EPM 11.1.2.1, and HFM, Planning, Essbase, Financial Reporting are all working fine except when I do a report preview in the Workspace an error is received that PDF has not been configured for this Web Server.
I have uninstalled PDF and Financial Reporting then re-installed them but I am still getting the same error. Also, I when I tried to view report from Workspace in Financial Reporting Studio, I received the following error:
error number 400 Error Description:Form already displayed; can't show modally. Function: ShowMsg. Module:GblMethods.
Your help would be gracefully appreciated.

You should review all installation guides, readmes, and the certification matrix before performing a Hyperion Installation and/or Upgrade.
Version 9.0 of Ghostscript is not supported, install ghostscript 8.6.3 - 32-bit.
From the 11.1.2.1 Certification Matrix: "Either: --Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0 --GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6"

Error while logging in to Financial report studio

Hi,
while logging in to Financial report studio i am getting this error
Could not connect to server : Server name
please make sure that the server is running as specified in the logon dialog(including port number if not default)
can any 1 help me in this ??????

for my response i will make the supposition you are trying to connect to an HFM data source to pull data for your reports, lets call it HFMCLUSTER.
in order for your reports studio to gain connectivity to the HFMCLUSTER data source, you will need to first install the HFM Client on the same machine, along with the ADM driver for connectivity. After it is installed, register the HFMCLUSTER using the Server and Web Configuration Utility (the only tab that will be available will be the Server/Cluster Registration)
You then enter the name of one of the servers, or the server, that is being used as the HFM server, the cluster name will then appear. Click the "Enable DCOM" button to the right, hit apply, and you're done.

Does Financial Reporting Studio need to be uninstalled before patching?

Hi Guys,
Moving forward on my patch plan, I am stuck again, this time with the ambiguity in the documentation. I am trying to apply the Financial Reporting Patch 13997553. While going through the documentation, I found two ambiguous statements. In step2, the doc says that I need to uninstall the FR studio (Doesnt say on which machine I need to uninstall). Later in step9, it says, on FR studio Machines, uninstall the FR studio.
As per my assumption, in step2, I have to uninstall it from the Server and in Step9 I need to unistall it from my local machine. But the document never talked about re-installing the FR studio on server. What am I missing here?
Help appreciated. Thanks!
Here's part of readme which confused me -

Uninstall the FR studio on any machines that it has been installed on, then once patched you can download the latest FR Studio from workspace and then install.
You will find that it is installed by going to the start menu - Oracle - Financial Reporting StudioSo if i got you right,
-I need to uninstall the FR studio from all the machines (including the server).
-Apply the Patch.
-Install FR studio back again
And this whole process has nothing to do with Financial Reporting Web App.
Thanks!

Help creating a report with Financial Reporting Studio.

Hi,
Im new at Financial Reporting Studio so my question might be something very easy, for beginners.
Im trying to create a report with two columns where in each column there is the year dimension. In the first column there is the current POV for year, but in the second column I would like to set the prevoius year of the POV automatically, without using a prompt. Is there any function or way to do it?
Tanks foy yuour help!
Edu

Use the relative function.
The first column will be set to use the User POV.
For the second column... see the tab named "Functions". Select the function "RelativeMember". For the Member row - select User POV. For the offset enter -1... that will automatically select the prior year.

Problem about financial reporting studio(assign multiple db connection)

Hi,
I need to assign multiple database connections to a grid in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio
To do this, I performed the following steps:
- Open a report.
- In a grid, select one column for which I want to change the database connection.
- In the Column Properties sheet, click the Select Database Connection button, .
- In the Select a Database Connection dialog box, select a database connection from the Database Connection drop-down list, then Click OK.
- In the Map Dimensions Between... dialog box, map dimensions between the default database connection and the selected database connection. I do this by selecting a dimension from the pull-down list in the right column for each dimension in the left column.
- Optional: Select an alias table for the new database connection.
- Click OK.
But after last step I have received next error:
*; nested exception is:*
java.lang.NullPointerException
Can someone explain the source of this error?
And help me please solve this problem because I didn’t receive figures in that column where I changed database connection.
Thank you in advance!

I'm sure that both DB connections has the same dimension hierarchy. I can open the repot, but in it I don't see figures in that column where I've changed database connection...

Financial reporting studio - Invalid Picture

Hi;
I am trying to add a new logo into one of our reports (Oracle Hyperion Financial reporting studio, Fusion Edition), however after inserting the new image I get the following error message " Invalid Picture".
I have changed the format of the picture (jpg, gif, bmp, png) but nothing seems to work.
The size of the file is just 22k.
Thanks heaps;
Merv

no,
I get the error message when add the image (Inser-> Image) on the header area.
Once I save my changes (after getting the error message) the preview only shows a little box with the word image and the letter X (Image x) where the picture supposed to be.
The rest of the report looks ok.
It is like the picture is there but the system cannot read it or something.
This is an existing report which already had a logo, I deleted the existing Logo as I am trying to replace it with the new one.
