Financial Reporting Studio - Subtotals at each change in Member

I am using "bottom of Hierarchy" to pull all potential members but would like to subtotal at each change in member. I've tried auto calculation but that only works for the total. I know I could also make each member a line item and have a subtotal that way but this opens up maintenance issues (If we add a new member to the outline will we remember to update the report?).
Has anyone be able to do this?
Thanks.

You can do a conditional suppress.
Do you still want to show
A, B and formula column? If so add another data column which is nothing but A
So you'll now have A, B, formula column, Data column which is equal to A
Add a conditional suppress on formula column to suppress the column when user selects Chicago.
Add a conditional suppression on the duplicate data column to suppress this when member name is not chicago

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...

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 -

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.

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.

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: Formula for percentages in Dynamic report

Hi,
I have a formula problem in Financial Reporting Studio vers. 9.20.582. I created a dynamic report with four columns:
1. Column: Entities
Entity A, Entity B
2. Column: Accounts
Account A, Account B, Account C
3. Column A: Accounts
Data for a selected period
4. Column B: Formula
Percentage Account B to Account A and Account C to Account A per each Entity
My question is: Could I create a formula in 4th column that shows a percentage of Account B in comparison to Account A for each Entity (everything in one cell)?
Because when I use for example the Formula Percentoftotal([a], [a,1(1)]) it shows for second entity B the wrong percentages.
I hope this was understandable.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi
Good question? I think, there is a solution.
You can use the concept of multiple grid here.
Please keep the referred grid at one place and use another grid where you want the formulas.

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

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.

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 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
Stuart

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.

Financial reporting studio not responding

IfThen in Financial Reporting Studio

Hello,
I'm working in Financial Reporting Studio and I'm trying to use the following Excel function in FRS:
=+IF(D$62=0,0,+D64/D$62)
Where:
D62 = D1 in FRS
D64 = D5 in FRS
I haven't worked much with FRS functions so any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
The syntax is very similar for IfThen in FRS compared to If in Excel. The biggest difference I guess is that if you want to assign any kind of formula as your true condition or false condition that you use the EVAL() function otherwise FRS doesn't like it (this was certainly the case up to v11.1.1, suspect it hasn't changed in the 11.1.2 releases).
I'm doing this without the system in front of me so apologies if it is not 100% correct but your formula is along the lines of:
IfThen([D,1]=0,0,Eval([D,5]/[D,1]))
Hope this helps
Stuart
