Financial Reporting - user statistics

Hi All,
I have the version 9.3.1 .
I would like to know how many persons look, launch a report in my workspace environment.
Is there a workaround to have this information?
For example if it is possible in a repository store the "view-tracking".
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Francesco

Hi,
Try provisioning the FR_GROUP with Explorer role. Just in case here is the whole list of Reporting and Analysis Roles:

Financial Reports User Tracking

Hi Guys
Can any one tell me how to track the user login, report modification, creation and deletion kind of activities in FR--System 9.X??
Appreciate your inputs..
Thanks
Jagan

Thanks for your response.
Can you explain how can we set up this user tracking for FR and WA reports. I think this usage tracking is only for IR reports.
Really appreciate if you can share your experiance on this...
Thanks

User login records on Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi all,
We understand we can turn on audit to capture the user login (authentication) in Hyperion Planning. Can we have the same option/feature for Financial Reporting to turn on audit so that we know that which reports in one day was generated by end users?

jts wrote:
I think so..take a look at what I found below on page 301 of the financial reporting user guide under the administrative tasks section, report server tasks subsection:
Log File Output Management
Financial Reporting uses the log4j logging mechanism to manage log file output. Logging
settings can be configured and are set in the fr_repserver.properties file for each Financial
Reporting server component.
This code is an example of Financial Reporting Server default settings in the
fr_repserver.properties file. Settings you might modify are shown in bold text.
# log4j.rootLogger=ERROR,dest1
# log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
# log4j.appender.dest1.ImmediateFlush=true
# log4j.appender.dest1.File=C:/hyperion/BIPlus/logs/FRReportSrv.log
# log4j.appender.dest1.Append=true
# log4j.appender.dest1.MaxFileSize=512KB
# log4j.appender.dest1.MaxBackupIndex=5

# log4j.appender.dest1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{MM-dd
HH:mm:ss} %-6p%c{1}\t%m%n
Note:
See fr_global.properties for details on logging levels (FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO,
DEBUG) and formatting options. The Financial Reporting logging settings can be changed
without restarting the servers. The .properties files are monitored for changes to the logging
setting every minute. The frequency is set in fr_global.properties. This can be very handy
if you want to set the logging levelThanks a lot! So the login/logout information will be captured in which log file?

5200 : Error in executing query -- Hyperion Financial Reporting

Problem in accessing the Hyperion Financial Reports.User is having full access and able to access all the folders except one folder(Legal Folder reports). We are getting 5200: Error Executing the query error. Recently we have upgraded Hyperion to 11.1.1.3 version . Before upgrade user is not facing the problem. After Upgrade user is getting these errors while accessing the reports. we did research and found in "Error 5200: Error Executing Query" When Viewing Financial Reporting (FR) Reports". Is this error is relevant to the Information provided in Metalink and also can you please tell us is there any impact on doing the solution provided in the below. Why is this error is coming is any preferences needs to be changed.Please help us on this.
Error Description:
5200: Error executing query
Servername/ApplicationName/DatabaseName/Error(1007090) Unknown Member name [Current Point of view for years] in Outline Query
Doc ID 1107142.1:
Possible Cause 1:
If members have recently been added, moved, or deleted from the data source, Essbase, HFM, or Planning, the existing User POV records become out of sync.
The User Point of View record uses indexing to identify the member. If the index changes because of changes in the outline, the User Point of View record no longer points to the correct location in the outline.
To resolve the issue, you need to run the ManageUserPOV utility on a Windows server that has the Financial Reporting Reports Server, or in a Unix or Linux environment, has the Financial Reporting Print Server installed.
You will need to provide a BIPlus Global Administrator user ID and password to run the utility.
The utility will provide the correct syntax to run the command.
1. In \Hyperion\products\biplus\bin\ManageUserPOV.properties, specify the following parameters:
a. ReportServer
b. DatasourceUser
c. DatasourcePassword
d. User
e. Datasource (You can find the datasource in Workspace under Tools>Database Connection Manager in the Name column.)
2. From the command line, cd to Hyerion\products\biplus\bin
3. Type in "ManageUserPOV" without the quotes. The executable will read the parameters previously set in the ManageUserPOV.properties file.
Thanks,
Naresh.

Financial reporting 11 1 2 2 Access issue for a user

Hi All,
I have a report designer group for Financial reporting 11.1.2.2. I have created a group called FR_GROUP in HSS and provide them the report designer access and added three MSAD users.
Now as admin we have a created a folder in workspace called FR and gave the group FR_GROUP Full acces to this folder FR.
Now the issue is the MSAD user who created the repot in FR folder can see the reports and open them and also the admin user but the other two MSAD users cant see the reports.
Any ideas how to fix this access issue?
Thanks,

1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

Hello,
for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
Sample Report Definition
...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
Problem is:
I would like to define for
Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
and for
Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row 2] in Report
any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
- but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
Formula:
Sum([1])

How can i prevent my user in one site about financial report in other sites

Hi
we implement our project in 4 sites via Citrix and all of users works on head office database, we used Document Series to divide evey site financial/inventory/procurement transaction . for example one site's JE number start 1 to 1000000 and other site start form 1000001 to 2000000 . but we see all user can see financial report like TRial balance, General ledger for other site but selecting in extend option in report without viewing them in detail. How we can make constrain for this issue, I mean user in other site cannot see other JE in General ledger report by selecting documnet series in Extend option.
thansk

1) In your case, you assign Group (in Document Numbering>>>Series Set up) for each site.
For example:
Site 1: Group 1
Site 2: Group 2
2) Then, go to Authorization >>> General Authorization >>> Administration >>> System Initialization >>> Numbering series. Now, you grant full authorization in Series - Group No. x for site users.
For example:
Site 1 ' user:
     Series - Group No. 1: Full authorization
     Series - Group No. 2: No authorization
Site 2 ' user:
     Series - Group No. 1: No authorization
     Series - Group No. 2: Full authorization
Hope this help,

How to email the Financial Reports to selected set of users - Hyperion

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to email a financial report (in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio) to selected set of users based on the selection of Entity from the POV. If yes can it be automized in a way that everytime the report is run for a particular entity, it will email the report to the selected set of users?.
Thanks

Yes, you can schedule batches (not in FR, but in Workspace). You might find this useful:

Does User POV Supersedes Grid POV in Hyperion - Financial Reporting ver 9.3

In Hyperion Financial Reporting studio , under grid POV , for a perticular dimension we have selected a perticular member from the list.
Now on the User POV, for the same Dimension it is selected as "any member". Now when we open the FR report in PDF from the same user ID, in POV option we are able to view all members. It looks like User POV settings is superseding the grid POV.
Is there any way by which we can select grid POV to take control over user POV? or if it is possible that users will be able to view the report only based on grid POV?
Regards,

Have you selected any particular member in Grid POV. ? i.e selecting grid POV and doing member selection.
If you select any member in GRID POV then while running the report it will not ask value for that particular member in POV window. i.e it will always consider the by default member while running the report.

User Missing Export Menu After Running Financial Report

I've got a user who has run a financial report in Workspace and wants to export it to Excel. Most of my users have the File-->Export-->Excel-->Fully Formatted Grids and Text option available, but this user does not. He appears to have all the same security settings as everyone else. Does anyone know what controls this capabilty and what is causing this user to not be able to see the Export menu? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

It could be a different version of IE. Is he/she has the same version of IE with the other users? I would also check his/her preferences and make sure he can export to Office 2002 and higher. I assume the version of the office you are using is newer than 2000.
To see/change the preferences, login to Workspace > Explpre > File > Preferences > Financial Reporting > General

How do I create a GL responsibility to access multiple ledgers (error trying to run Financial report submission)

I created a new GL responsibility and used the same menu as an existing one but created a new data access set that has all the ledgers in it that we want to access.
I left the following profile options with no value. The reason being is this responsibility should not be tied to any org/ledger.
MO: Operating Unit
GL Ledger ID
GL Ledger Name
This all seems to be working fine except when the users try to access Financial Report Submission. The error that appears when trying to choose a ledger when running the report.
Error: Stale Data
The requested page contains stale data. This error could have been caused through the use of the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).
I have cleared the browser cache and cache was cleared by functional administrator. In this case it really doesn't seem to be anything to do with the browser's back button being used (I didn't use it) since I can make this error go away by setting the value for GL Ledger Name. But that is not what the users want since that will restrict them to a specific ledger but they should be able to run the report for any ledger.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Please see (RM: Financial Report Submission: Errors With Stale Data, View Object FSGSubmissionAM.FSGSubmissionPVO1 Contained No Record [ID 1099837.1]).
Thanks,
Hussein

Financial Reporting - Planning 11.1.2.1 Data Source

We are trying to do salary planning, specifically new hire planning at an employee level. Is it possible to have an account of data type text that users could input into a form, and then build reports in Financial Reporting Studio that would display that text? I know there is an ADM driver that allows Financial Reporting Studio Data Sources to use Planning as a data source, but I wanted to survey for input on if and how well that works.

That's exactly what I did last year. Business wanted to see the Job description (they entered it on the form) of the new hires in a report.
In Workspace, create a Planning datasource and when you create your report, map your report to the Planning datasource.
You just need to login to Workspace > Explore > Tools > Database Connection Manager > New > Select Planning as the Type.
Cheers,
Mehmet
