Financial Reporting Studio - Running Total

I am trying to build a waterfall / step chart in Financial Reporting Studio to visualize large movements between prior year and current year profit by profit type. For it, i require a 'running total' of profit type movement. I burst the profit type dimension out on row 2 and i want to keep a running total formula calculation
e.g.
Last Year
This Year
Movement
Total Profit
[Profit Type].Level1 drilldown
Total Profit
I want to keep a running total of the movement in Row 2. How can i do this?

Insert Formula Row and give it formula.

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.

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.

Month, QTD, YTD in prompts - Financial Reporting Studio

Hi All,
We developed a report (source: Essbase) using Financial Reporting Studio. We used a prompt for Period Dimension and used all the months in the choices list. We have a new requirement to pull QTD and YTD of the months to the prompt list.
We have used QTD and YTD from the functions list but while running the report from workspace, it is showing in the user selection list as Month instead of QTD of month or YTD of month (QTD of Feb/YTD of Feb).
Please suggest if someone worked on the similar case.
Thanks in advance.
Ravi

We have created a Y2D member for our Time Period dimension that may fit your needs:
IF (@ISACCTYPE(FIRST)) JAN; ELSEIF (@ISACCTYPE(LAST)) &CurrMth; ELSE @SUM(JAN:&CurrMth); ENDIF
We also have a Q2D member: IF (@ISACCTYPE(FIRST)) &Qtr_St_Mth; ELSEIF (@ISACCTYPE(LAST)) &CurrMth; ELSE @SUM(&Qtr_St_Mth:&CurrMth); ENDIF

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio - usage log and exporting criteria

Hello, is there a way to run a usage log for the reports that we have in Financial Reporting Studio?
In addition, can I export the report criterias? I'm looking at potentially archiving some reports we have out on the server that is not currently being used. Thanks much!!!

The FRReportSrv log file under Hyperion\logs\BIPlus gives you the report usage tracking. I am not the developer of our process and I am not techie at all, but we have a process that scans the log files, parses the log files and load it into Oracle. Then thru Oracle Apex, we develop reports to track FR usage.
I am not sure what you mean by report criterias. Do you mean, for example, if the report is not used for over 5 months, you would like to archive it? If you can create a similar report like the one I described above, then yes, it would help you to determine the idle reports, but I am not sure if you can automatically archive the reports. I think it would have to be manual, where you would use the export function on Workspace to archive your report.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio "Failed to Connect to Server"

One of my report developers recently got a new laptop. Since then, she hasn't been able to open an existing report or create a new one. She can log into Financial Reporting Studio, but when trying to open an existing report or create a new report, she gets the error message "Failed to Connect to Server".
We've tested using her laptop and using mine. We are both fine on my laptop. We both have same issue on her laptop. Therefore, we don't think it's a security/credentials issue.
We've searched help documentation and other threads in this forum but haven't been able to find what we need.
We suspect that file(s) are missing or something wasn't configured properly during the new install. Maybe the Planning ADM Driver?? Our company's tech support hasn't been able to help. This is a new implementation, the consultants are gone, and our IT staff isn't up to speed yet.
Can anyone offer help as to what file/configuration could be the cause and exactly how to correct?
Thanks.

We had the same issue after installing the Financial Reporting Studio client.
If you run the batch script HRRunAnt.cmd in the directory C:\Hyperion\products\biplus\install\bin after installation this fixes the problem.

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.

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"

Expansions in Financial Reporting Studio

I am writing a report in Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.1.2 that is connected to Planning. I have chosen to retrieve "Children of COGS_Dir_Exp" and checked the "Allow Expansion" check box. When I run the report I can expand some of the children down to level 0 but not all of the children. I have not been able to determine what is causing the inconsistency. There doesn't seem to be a pattern of being able to expand "x" number of levels. Some are shared parents, some are shared level 0 members.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be causing this?
Thanks!

If a parent is a shared member, that shared member has no children and would not expand. For example:
Hierarchy 1
Parent 1
Child 1
Child 2
Parent 2
Child 1 (shared)
Child 2 (shared)
Child 3
Hierarchy 2
Parent 3
Child 3 (shared)
Child 4
Parent 2 (shared)
If your report uses children of Hierarchy 2, Parent 2 would not have children to which it could expand.
Hope that helps.

SSL error logging into Financial Reporting Studio

We are using Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1, patch 120. We terminate SSL at a load-balancing appliance, therefore, none of the Hyperion services have SSL enabled.
Users were able to log into Financial Reporting Studio (FRS) using https://servername:port successfully until we installed a new digital certificate in the virtual IP on the load-balancing appliance. Now when the users try to log into FRS, a SSL handshake error is written to the client log file. See below for full error.
We have restarted all Hyperion services and verified that browser access to the EPM environment is working using https. We also tried uninstalling the FRS client and reinstalling, but get the same error.
The original digital certificate was not imported on the Hyperion servers or client machines. The new digital certificate has not been imported either.
Oracle Support said that we need to create a keystore file on each client machine and import the new digital certificate.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or can explain why we would need to import the new cert on each client, when we never had to import the original cert on the client?
We also verified that if we revert back to the original cert on the load-balancer, the users can log into FRS.
Thanks,
Robin

Financial Reporting Studio - Grid POV

I have a report running from HFM (9.3.1.3.0.2176) using Financial Reporting Studio (9 9.3.1.0.0.0325) where I have restricted the Grid POV to 'Select members from a list' on Accounts.
When I run the report as an HTML from within Reporting Studio or workspace, a box appears entitled 'Preview user POV' with 'This report/book will run for the members on the user point of view listed below' with a selection box that when clicked only shows the accounts I defined in the list.
However, when the report is run from Workspace (9.1.1.0.0.248) by any other user then the accounts are not restricted.
Can I make the accounts restricted to the list for ONLY this report for all users without impacting any other reports and if so, please can you explain how?
Thanks in advance
PS I also restricted User POV in the vain hope that it would make a difference but no :-(

Select the grid. You will grid POV checked in right side properties window. Uncheck that.

Financial Reporting Studio and Windows 7

Anyone running Financial Reporting Studio 9.3.1 or a similar version on Windows 7? When I try to open a report I'm receiving an error: "Error connecting to database connection <database name>.
Thanks

The user (myself) does have access to the database since I can access from an XP and/ or 2003 server machine. I think it's related to Windows 7.

Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
Here are two other thoughts:
1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.

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 client 11113

hi,all
where can I download financial reporting studio client of version 11.1.1.3?
thanks a lot!

In 11.1.1.3 the FR studio is installed by running the installer(installtool.cmd/installtool.sh) and selecting the FR client .Before that you need to have the files downloaded for 11.1.1.3 :
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer
Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Foundation Services Release 11.1.1.3.0 Part 1 of 4
Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Foundation Services Release 11.1.1.3.0 Part 2 of 4
Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.1.3.0
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.1.3.0
These are the required files.Currently you will not get these in the Oracle E-delivery. You need to raise a non-technical Service Request for the files with Oracle for these.
Hope this helps.
