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

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:

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,

Hi,

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:

Financial Reports last Modified user name.

Hi,
I Observed some of the reports were modified in Production, Unfortunately few of our users have the access to modify them. But when i ask who did the change no one is responding as usual.
Is there any way we can find out the user ID who modified the report lately?
thanks.

Hi,
Try enabling User Tracking option under Repoting Analysis from Workspace.
Also, you can check out various FR activities in FRLogging.log file.
Thanks,
Santy.

Campus Manager User Tracking Report - dot1xEnabled = False

The Campus Manager User Tracking Report has the dot1xEnabled field that is always false.
It was my understanding that the switch will send SNMP Trap Notifications to Cisco Works regarding the status of 802.1x authentication per port.
We have configured per port:
snmp trap mac-notification added
snmp trap mac-notification removed
and globally
snmp-server host x.x.x.x abababa udp-port 1431 MAC-Notification
With no success, so we opened a TAC case, 614376387 and we were told by TAC and the Development Engineers that this "feature" does not work in LMS 3.2 and Campus Manager 5.2.1 and that this feature will be available in the next new release.
I thought I had read on this forum that some folks have this 'feature' working, where this field shows the current status of 802.1x per access port.
Has anyone been able to get this 'feature' to work? And if so, what versions are you running and what were the 'tricks' to get it working?
Much appreciated.

The MAC address notification traps only alert Campus to the fact that a MAC address has been learned or removed from a given port. That starts the dynamic UT process. With no other information, you will potentially see a new record appear in UT shortly after receiving the trap. However, that record will not have IP or username data associated with it.
To get the IP data, Campus will poll the CISCO-DHCP-SNOOPING-MIB to pull IP data. To get username data, Campus will poll the IEEE8021-PAE-MIB of the switch to get dot1x information. So, your switch must be configured for dot1x, and it must support this MIB (in particular, the objects dot1xAuthSessionTime, dot1xAuthSessionUserName, and dot1xPaePortCapabilities).
Without dot1x, hope is not lost. If the end host is running Windows and the UTLite tool, then when the user logs in, UTLite should start from their logon script, and send a UDP update to Campus with the username and IP of the host.

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.
