Financial Reporting Studio is not visible in Start Menu in EPM 11.1.2.2

Hi
i have installed EPM 11.1.2.2.0, i tried to login to Financial reporting studio and found that it was not installed. Then i manually installed Financial Reporting studio (V31859-01\FinancialReportingStudio\FinancialReportingStudio.exe). I did not receive any error, but i am not able to view Financial Reporting Studio listed in start menu. Where is Financial Reporting studio? how do i login?
Thanks,
Veeru

The client and server have to be exactly the same version, it sometimes worth downloading FR studio from workspace to make sure you have the same version.
Otherwise log into Oracle support and search for "you are not authorized to use this functionality", you will see lots of results which should help you resolve the problem.

Financial Reporting Studio under Citrix-Can Save Report but not Revisions

Hyperion BI+ 9.2.0.2
Financial Reporting Studio does not run on desktop using Windows Vista so trying Citrix (Presentation Server 4.0 running under Windows 2003 SR2).
I can edit an existing report or create and save a new report but CANNOT resave any revision using the same reportname in same folder. I CAN save the revisoin under a different name in the same folder or under the same name but in a different folder.
When I try to save the revision to same reportname in the same location, it correctly indicates:
the Report "reportname" already exists. Do you want to overwrite the existing report?.
When you click YES, you get an error message:
"Expecting a transferable end, but received -4352: 1570558, expected -4113, <-4098>, 6134 -4098"
some of the numbers listed change with additional attempts.
Anyone else with any similar experience.
Thanks
Dave

Hi
I can't remember exactly as it was a while ago but we had a similar issue at a client with version 9.2.0.2 with saving changes to existing report definitions and it was a bug with FR rather than an issue with how the client was hosted. We applied a patch but I can't remeber what exact version it was, try contacting Oracle or looking at the Read-mes for patch releases to see if it turns anything up.
Hope 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"

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 -
APPLYING THE PATCH_
The section includes important information about applying this patch for Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition.
To apply this patch:
1. Shut down all services and servlet instances related to the Oracle Hyperion EPM Release 11.1.2.2.00 installation.
2. Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
3. On On the Financial Reporting server machines; Download and unzip the downloaded patch file, <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip, to the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directory (by default, Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/OPatch).
NOTE: <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip is the name that My Oracle Support assigns to this patch. When you download the file, a message indicates the file name.
4. On On the Financial Reporting server machines, from a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
5. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
Windows:
opatch.bat apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>
-jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware.
UNIX/Linux:
./opatch apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29 -invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware.
6. Delete the Financial Reporting precompiled jsp files located at: <ORACLE_HOME>\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\precompiled\hr
7. Restart Oracle Hyperion EPM services and servlets.
8. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.
“For WebSphere deployments, you must use EPM System Configurator to redeploy the Web application.”
9. On the Financial Reporting Studio machines; Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
10. Connect to the EPM Workspace machine that was patched in Step 3. Download the Financial Reporting Studio installer from the EPM Workspace menu: From the Tools menu, select Install and then select Financial Reporting Studio and then launch the installer. Follow the installation guide to install the Financial Reporting Studio to the location you want.
11. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.

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!

VBA to pull from Financial Reporting Studio/Reporting and Analysis Framework

Hi all,
I just started using Financial Reporting Studio, and I did a lot of research online to try to answer the questions I have below but to no avail, so I'm hoping I can get answers from the experts here.
1. I was wondering if it's possible to use SmartView VBA to pull a report from the "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel? If yes, how?
2. When I tried to pull lots of data from "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel using SmartView, it keeps getting the error message "New report failed to insert properly". Is there a way around this? Essentially, what I'm trying to do is pull the Expense data (Actuals, Budget, Forecast) from year 2011 to 2015 (by month) for every department (with each department being on its own worksheet using the split feature). If I reduce the number of departments or columns, it'll work, but when I try to keep everything, it fails.
Thanks for your guys' help!

Hi there,
There is VBA manual for smartiview application however I am not sure that you will be able to automate the retrieve of a report.
Check chapter 19 of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user.pdf

Hyperion Financial Reports Studio - Activex error 429

Greetings Everyone,
I have recently installed Hyperion Financial Reports Studio 11.1.2.1 on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine using the standalone installer (FinancialReportingStudio.exe)
After the install, when attempting to launch the client we get the classic run-time error 429 for active x.
I've had this problem before in previous engagements, and the solution was to run the config utility on the computer and the error would then go away. The problem is that the standalone installer does not seem to setup/install the configuration utility on the client PC.
Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? Already tried running the HRrunant.bat and that didn't help.
Thanks,

Good to hear the issue is resolved ...
However the update you gave contradicts the first update you gave when you started the thread...that it was a 32 bit machine (client)
"I have recently installed Hyperion Financial Reports Studio 11.1.2.1 on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine using the standalone installer"

Export FR without using Financial Reporting Studio

Good morning.
Is that possible to get the reports designed at Financial Reporting Studio to import into another machine?
I'm asking this because I ain't able to access this machine anymore. So, did an other machine, but now, with a new database, with no reports =)
Thanks.
Cheers,
Rafael Marques

I know that there is a report migration tool as we used it when we went from 7.2.5 to 9.3.1. I'm not 100% if you can make use of it as a simple 'copy' tool (i.e. copying same software version reports from one server to the next or if it only works in a specific upgrade capacity); however, I would start on that route first.
I think the road block you will hit there; however, is that I think the environment would need to be up and running for this utility to work.
If that is the case, the manual route is ugly. As I've talked about in a prevoius post, reports (since system 9) are scattered in a couple different pieces. In the Workspace database, you will find information that ties a UUID (Unique Identifier) to a 'Friendly Name'. In the file system of your server running the RM web application, you will find the actual report files. The files / folders for the reports are not human friendly; therefore, you need the DB to fix the names. The other issue you have here is the database connection for the reports. When you create a database connection it also gets a generated Unique ID value which is stored in the reports. If that ID does not exist in the target system, you need to update all of the reports; otherwise, they will not work correctly.
If I HAD to do this manually (i.e. old workspace isn't operational so I can't export), here's what I would do ..........
------- WARNING ------------ I don't think anyone here is going to approve of this method and I really don't either, but ....................
"Old System" to "New System"
#1 - New System --> create your database connection(s), preferably with same name(s) as previous environment
#2 - Old --> Locate naming information in Workspace database tables (If you don't know where this is, find a previous post I put out on reports and the database where I explain this)
#3 - Old --> Locate the physical files / directories (See previous post on subject)
#4 - Old --> Find at least ONE report for EACH database connection used in the old system. Open the file(s) in notepad and locate the connection ID. (NOTE : Files are compressed so get something like 7zip to get into them)
#5 - New --> Open the Workspace database, locate the database connection information. For each connection you have created, update the ID to correspond to the ID found in the reports.
At this point, we have a couple of different options......
Option 1 - Create your own export archive
Now that you know where all of the old reports are and you know the proper naming of the reports, you can make your own export archive which you can then import into the new environment. The structure of the 7zip archive would be something like this
ReportExtract.7z
(null) Folder --> This would correspond to your Root folder in Workspace
My Report Folder 1 --> Your workspace stuff here
My Report Folder 2 --> Etc.
The import thing to recognize here is that when you first open the 7z file, you have to have that NULL folder; otherwise, this doesn't work. I'm not sure how to create such a null folder, so what I normally do is create an extract file using the Workspace Export option and then use 7zip to alter the archive to include what I really want ....
#1 - Old --> Fix names. Using the information from the workspace database write a quick script to traverse the file / folder structure and renaming all folders and files so that they have the friendly name.
#2 - Old --> For the files that were just renamed, uncompress them. This can be accomplished with a bat file script as well.
#3 - New --> Go to File Export and choose the highest folder you can and export all items. Save the file somewhere handy as you're going ot need this right away.
#4 - Old --> Open the archive with 7zip. You will see a folder with no name, double click on it. Now you should see the beginning of your report structure (if you have one on the new environment....)
#5 - Old --> Using windows explorer, DRAG and DROP the folders/files from steps #1/#2 into the 7zip window. 7zip will then add those folders/files to the report archive we created.
#6 New --> Login to workspace and select the File, Import option. Proceed to use the archive created previously. If everything is done correctly, the reports will pull in and you will be good to go at this point. (OTHER THAN SECURITY)
Option 2 - Manually Copy Files/Folders and Database entries
While in theory this is slightly quicker, I've never attempted so I won't say for fact this will work. I would probably only recommend trying this is the old and new machines are running the SAME version of software AND the new machine has nothing added to it yet.....
#1 - Locate RM1 service folder and copy all files/folders to new server's RM folder
#2 - Locate the old database tables related to report files/folders/permissions/data connections and copy data into new database tables.

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

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.

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.

No sync between Financial Report Studio repository and planning

Hi,
I have a problem in Hyperion Planning 11.1.3 when I am trying to open reports that are either in Explorer or in a task list linked by a smartcut. An error (#2108) occured saying that the object I am trying to open is not in the repository. I am using Financial Report Studio 11.1.1.3. to create reports.
Does anyone have an idea of why I am getting that error?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
This is a known issue and there is no solution yet as far as I'm aware. It happens when you open a report using different user names on the same PC.
The solution is this, log off from workspace, clean internet explorer caches (including temp files). shut down internet explorer and try openning the report again from workspace.
Obviously, you need to repeat this steps everytime you face the issue.
Cheers,
Alp

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.
