Financial Reports member addition

Gurus,
I have a financial report created based on an essbase cube which has five members NY, CA, DE, MN, and CO. Because these are the members I had these are the members that I see in the Financial reports page. However, now I have just added a member called NJ which is a sibling of these members mentioned above. Now, I want this member also to be included in Financial report. Does it automatically get transfer as these are all the children of a member called STATE? OR do i need to manually add it. What is the way of doing it. Any suggestion would help.
Thanks

Hi Mehmet,
I added the member in essbase cube, and now I can see it in Financial reporting. I have tried to open the related reports in workspace as we create batches to run some of the reports, however, the numbers corresponding to the newly added member does not seem correct. They do not add and something like that What could be the reason. Do i need to wait a while or is there anything else I need to do in Essbase or Planning or Financial reporting studio? Some reports are from one database while others are from a different database. So any advise or help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hyperion Financial Reports - Member selection issue

Hi,
We are using Hyperion suite 9.2.0.3. We get an error during Member selection in POV when executing a book or report. The member selection window looks blank.
We have tried restarting the services of Financial report and Essbase. But no luck.
Can someone help us in getting this issue resolved.
Thanks,
Sethu

I'm not sure I have a good answer for you, but in my experience blank screens are usually caused by failing weblogic, apache, or a firewall setting.
You might have better success getting an answer in the Hyperion Query and Reporting forum.

Financial Reporting - member Selection

Hi All,
I have a scenario where the client wants a report which will have
Pov: Period,Year,...
Page: Entity(HR Org)
Row: Account
Column:Employee Name,Job Codes,Position,Grants,and They need the HR Org as a column.
for example
HR Org:
-----HA10(level 2)
-------HA101(level 1)
---------HA1011(level 0)
---------HA1012(level 0)
---------HA1013(level 0)
if they select HA10 in the report they need to see all level 0 members of that HR Org in the column data.Please help How can I solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance
GG

Hi,
Thanks a lot for replying me,
I tried inserting a text column and used <<membername("Entity") which will actually prints what ever I selected in the page from the drop down list.And then I tried suppresing the HR Org adding the condition to the text column then it is even suppressing the parent level members in the page selection.Please let me know if iam missing any step to be done.
Thanks,
GG

Limit member selection based on access in running Hyperion Financial Report

Hi there
I am wondering, is it possible to limit the member selection in a prompt box based on what access they have when running a Hyperion Financial Report?
I know its possible to limit the user POV based on the members they have access to (in Preferences) but we have a reporting requirement on the page dimension to prompt the user for what cost centres they want to run the report for. When I used a prompt function the user gets to select any cost centre in the "choices" range regardless of whether they have access or not. We just want it to show what cost centres they have access to.
Thanks

If the datasource is ready only and not writeable for the users, then you can use MetaRead filters for cost centre, which will only show the hierarchies the users have access to.
(You cannot mix Write and MetaRead filters in the same filter, it would be Write and Read).
Let me know if that's an option.
Cheers, Iain

Financial Reporting Display in web nad pdf removing member

Hi,
I am facing a typical issue where my Financial reporting( 9.2.0.3) reportsa sometimes not dispalying the columns and rows in report.
This is a temporary problem and doesn't occure all the time.
For example idf I have Act and Plan in th e column, sometimes its supresses the act and sometimes plan, data being same all the time. We have supress zero, mising and error enforced on the row and columns. But we have data for those row and columns. so I think this is not the issue.
I gues the issue is due to connection problem with Report server and Essbas timeout. Any body faced this issue before.
This is very critical for us, will apreciate any kind of help on this.
Thanks

Hello all,
The way I fixed my problem is that I changed my URL. Originally, my URL to start workspace was "http://myserver:45000/workspace/". This URL ran workspace, but I couldn't use any financial reporting features. However, when I changed to this URL, "http://myserver:19000/workspace/", I could now run reports. The 19000 port points to the HTTP Apache server which is needed to run reports. The solution may different if you are using IIS as your HTTP server.

Financial Reporting - Ability to Expand based on Custom list

hi,
Within financial reporting, Is there a way by which I can pick 3 or 4 different accounts and create a Calculated row that can expand or collapse and it is a sum total of those 4 accounts.
For Eg.
Under COGS we have Account A , B, C , D and I want to show
in the Report a column with Text title Others and Others is a sum of C and D.
When the user runs the report they see
COGS
A
B
Others
Now if the user wants to zoom, they can zoom Others and it would show C & D.
I was wondering if such a functionality existed ?

That can be done ..
In HFR member selection Cell , please do the following :
View -> Advanced Select Not operation .
then , In functions select Descendants and move to Right column and select your Particular account - >@Descendants ( "Account ")
In the next row select the Account member which you do not want in the hierarchy and from second row on the right column select Not Operation.
By this way , the new Hierarchy of Account , will not display the members you dont want to be ( Selective Member selection , it can be called)

Problem exporting a Financial Report to excel

Hello Everyone,
Of several users who have tested this functionality, I only have 1 user who is experiencing this problem, however we can't figure out what's wrong... Here is what is happening:
1. Run a financial report from the web-portal using HTML preview
2. Once the report is displayed in HTML, he goes to File | export | fully formated excel file (he also tried with the query ready report and had the same problem)
3. he is prompted to either save or open this xml file
4. he selects open, he gets an excel window and is prompted with the following: "Please select how you would like to open this file:" and the radio button options are: "as an xml list", "As a read-only workbook", "use the xml source task pane".
5. he selects "as an xml list" he then is prompted with the following: "The specified source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create a schema based on the xml source data."
6. he clicks on "ok" and the result is what looks like an excel pivot table except is says "error" in one of the cells and then an adjacent cell says: Logon Failed. User Name must not be empty.
No matter which combination of the options he chooses, he sees the same result.
In addition, I know it is not a problem with his ID b/c he can run the report AND export to excel just fine when he does it from my computer!
Has anyone seen this problem before? Is this maybe a setting that needs to be changed? etc...?
FYI - we are in the final stages of migrating to system 9 so our current configuration is as follows: Financial Reports / Workspace version 9.3.1 however his run time client on is version 7.1.2 and the essbase cube is version 9.3.1. I have several other people who have run the same report, against the same essbase cube, also using the ver 7 RTC and it works fine.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance for any help!

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.

Workspace Error Running Financial Reports Post HFM Metadata Change

We recently updated the metadata in HFM to use the Custom4 dimention. We are now trying to run reports from Workspace and get an error 5200 - error executing query. I have confirmed that the database connection in Workspace is ok. I am able to run the reports from the Financial Reporting Studio. Any ideas what's wrong when running from Workspace?

That error means that the report is trying to retrieve data from a member that either does not exist or is not valid. I have seen it happen when the user POV chooses [Year] for period.
I would start by trying to get the report to run from Report Studio where you can control the POV settings. If you still get the error, you will need to go through every data point in the report and verify that each member exists.

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])

Financial Reporting (FR) using Substitution Variables with Quotes

HI all,
I've created a substitution variable, &CurWk, for a Period Dimension member. The member name, Dec Wk2, has an embedded space, so I enclose the member name in quotes when assigning it to the substitution variable in EAS. However, when I try to use that substitution variable in Financial Reporting, it does not recognize the Substitution variable. I've closed down and re-opened the FR Studio. If I remove the quotes around the member name when assigning it to the Substitution Variable, then FR will recognize the substitution variable. However, I get an error in the calc scripts if I try to reference the substitution variable if this member name is not enclosed in quotes. In my mind, this seems to be a bug in FR since quotes can be optional when referencing any member name. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a work-around? I'm using EPM 11.1.1. Thanks for your help!
Vince Kelly

Hi Vince,
For the Calc scripts add & to the front of the sub var and surround the sub var with [ ], for example:
where sub vars are ReptQTR, ReptYR, ReptScenario:
CASE
When (Is(QTR.Currentmember,[&REPTQTR]) and (IS(FY.Currentmember,[&REPTYR]))) then
     CASE
     When ((ISUDA(L000.CurrentMember,"NC"))) then
          CASE
          WHEN (ISUDA(L000.CurrentMember,"Expense")) THEN
          (([&REPTPYR],[ACT]) - [&REPTSCENARIO])
          ELSE
          ([&REPTSCENARIO] - ([&REPTPYR],[ACT]))
          END
     END
END

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.

Hyperion Financial Reporting - #missing Suppression causing report not to generate 11.1.2.2

Hi,
We recently went live with an implementation of 11.1.2.2 and have build large report suite in Financial reporting to accompany the release. Over the weekend we patched up to 11.1.2.2.305.4195 however we have began to notice our FR reports are failing to generate and hang at a white screen for both HTML and PDF views.
After a little digging it looks that the issue is with any report that has suppress #missing on rows. If I take this suppression off the report will generate successfully. This is not an acceptable solution for us as many of our reports will run into 100's/1000's of lines.
Has anyone else experienced this recently and if so, are there any other fixes to be suggested. I'm assuming this is a bug introduced with 11.1.2.2.305
For reference we are also running the following versions.
Reporting and Analysis Framework - 11.1.2.2.000.998
Oracle® Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition - 11.1.2.2.0.0387
Graham

Hi, We have but awaiting a response. Interestingly I've did some testing and suppression does work if I go via the advanced suppression option which although a inconvenient to rework the reports does give a solution.
Additionally I've noticed a couple of other issues with suppression across the application so looks to be more widespread.
1) Webforms are no longer suppression #missing both in the application and also when downloaded to Excel.
2) Intercompany reports no longer suppress when we set tolerance to say 10% etc.
Each in itself can be worked around but annoying non the less.

Access is denied error when launching HFM based Financial Reports

When attempting to run Financial Reports where the data source is an HFM application, users sometimes get the following error(s):
Access is denied
<BR>Access is denied
Sometimes the error is more detailed:
1001:datasourcename=HOLX;errorMsg=Access is Denied. <BR>Access is denied. (The more detailed error is followed by references to POV members display names and member names, etc.)
The error is intermittent and cannot be easily reproduced. Sometimes users get it for hours at a time, other times they can log out and log back in and run the report fine. The users are running the reports via Workspace.
We are running the following versions, and Web Logic is our application server.
HFM Server: 9.3.1.3
Workspace: 9.3.1.0
Financial Reports: 9.3.1.0
I did increased the JVM heap size allocation on the Reports server from:
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
to
-Xms768m
-Xmx1280m
That setting change appears to have made the issue not appear as frequently, but it is still occurring. I may have bandwidth to increase the heap size limits to 1024 and 1536.
Any advice and / or help would be appreciated! The fact that I cannot easily reproduce the error and the lack of references to it in the application logs are making it very frustrating!

We had gotten this exact same error with some users getting it, some not getting it, and other users getting it sometimes.
We were told it happened when a certain number of users are in HFM reports at the same time.
To fix it you need to do the following on the HFM production servers (Foundation/Core Servers, Application Servers, and Web Servers)
Apply registry changes to prod servers:
On the server click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Rpc
Click the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type Server2003NegotiateDisable as the name of the new DWORD Value
Right-click Server2003NegotiateDisable, and then click Modify.
In the Value Data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Financial Reports with Date measures are showing data one day less

Hello,
I am running a financial report off of an ASO cube with type measures enabled. However, when i run the report in FR, that date data coming out is 1 day less...for eg 04/30/2012 comes out as 04/29/2012.
however, when i run the same ad-hoc report via smart view, it is fine and the date comes out as expected. this is happening only in FR.
Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.
Thank you...

I'm not sure what version you are running, but this was determined to be a bug that was fixed in 11.1.2.
Although not pretty, you can add a similarly named dynamic member that will advance your date for you that you could use in FRS. You could use the DateRoll function: DateRoll ([Date Dimension], DP_DAY, 1 ). Just an idea.
