HFM 9.3.1 drill through FDM

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the drill through functionality in HFM 9.3.1.
When I click on Audit Intersection in the web data grid FDM starts to open but then I get an error relating to Single Sign On not being setup correctly.
I've added the FDM app name to the App setting in HFM and I've got the correct URL in the Web Config .
Can anyone give me any guidance of where to setup SSO in Shared Services for HFM/FDM?
Is it possible to use drill through using Web Data Forms?
Thanks

Choose Administration>Manage Documents then click on links
click new to add a new link
In the link field enter one of the following, for the
version of FDM you are using.
• http://<server name>/<wwwwwwww>/AuthorizedPages/LogonPage.aspx?AppName=<xxxxxxxx>
• Replace <server name> with valid web server address
• Replace <wwwwwwww> with UpstreamWeblinkDataMart for versions FDM 9.0.2 to FDM 9.2.x
• Replace <wwwwwwww> with HyperionFDM for 9.3 and above
• Replace <xxxxxxxx> with a valid FDM Application Name.
Ensure that FDM does not open in the same page
• Ensure to include the Single Sign On information in page request. Click ‘Save’
On the ‘Manage Documents – Links’ screen you will now see your link to FDM. Log into the server where FDM is installed.
• Go to Start > All Programs > Hyperion > Financial Data Quality Management > Load Balance Manager > Load Balance Configuration
Go to the ‘Authentication Providers’ tab, click ‘Add’ and choose ‘Visual Basic Script SSO Authentication’ Provide a description. Set sso uathentication script ,The script is generically written, and must be customized for each customer.
• Once the changed have been made click ‘OK’ and notice the Authentication Providers have been updated.
• Go back to the ‘General’ tab and re-enter the service account password and click ‘OK’
• Go back to HFM Workspace and test the link you created. FDM will open up in a new window, and sign you in.
Now enable FDM to pass the SSO token:
• Administration -> Integration Settings
• From the ‘Options’ drop-down choose ‘Use SSO’
• Enable the check-box
• Click ‘Save’
• From the HFM Web-Server you need to provide a link to FDM inside of the ‘Server and Web Configuration’
• Choose the ‘Web Server’ tab
• Enter the following link to ‘Financial Data Management URL’ field http://<server name>/HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx
• Update <server name> with the appropriate FDM Web-Server name
•Enter a valid DCOM service account and password in the ‘DCOM User Info’ fields.

Workaround for HFM Drill-Through when using custom dimensions ( 4) in FDM

Hi all,
we have the following scenario:
- Target Custom 3 is defined as a combination of Target Product and Target Cost Center
- Target Product needs to be obtained by mapping field "PRODUCT" in the source file
- Target Cost Center needs to be obtained by mapping field "CC" in the source file
So,
One approach would be to enable Custom5 and Custom 6 dimensions in FDM, and configure sequence so these two dims are mapped before custom 3 which has a conditional map to get
values from target c4 and c5 (using varvalues...)
The issue here is that drill-through does not work as the sql query for the intersection is looking for UD5x and UD6X as NULL, N, or [NONE], and these two columns have a value as they were mapped.
Trying to solve this issue, we configured C5 and C6 as lookup dimensions so we could create the mapping tables for them although in order to import data from source file fields we used attr2 and attr3. Besides UD5 and UD6, as expected, were not displayed in the Import and Validate/Export grids
Then the idea was to update the work table with attr2->ud5 and attr3->ud6 in a event script (importaction or befprocmap..) so ud5 and ud6 are mapped.
The problem is that we noticed that ud5 and ud6 are not updated from attributes. It seems that as they are configured as lookup dims, values may be mapped but not copied from work table to tdataseg.
If this would work, then after custom3 is mapped we could set ud5x and ud6x to [none] in order the drill-through query to work.
Having all in custom 3 dim and use mappings on combinations is not desired by the customer as they want to keep product and cc mappings separately.
I was thinking to use a dummy location for product and cost center mappings and then emulate mappings using SQL but would like to avoid this.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks!

The criteria for mapping C3 is:
- If Plan = 6 Then Target C3 = SUBACCOUNT
- If Plan <> 6 AND Account IN range [70000,70999] Then Target C3 = Target CC
- If Plan <> 6 AND Account NOT IN range [70000,70999] Then Target C3 = Target CC_Target Product
Fields in the file
- PLAN
- ACCOUNT
- SUBACCOUNT
- Source CC
- Source Product
So current solution actually is to put that logic in the import format so:
- If Plan = 6 Then Source C3 = SUBACCOUNT
- If Plan <> 6 AND Account IN range [70000,70999] Then Source C3 = "RULE2"
- If Plan <> 6 AND Account NOT IN range [70000,70999] Then Source C3 = "RULE3"
In the mapping of C3, we managed a simple script mapping checking the source C3
If source c3 = RULE 2 -> Target C3 = Target CC
If source C3 = RULE 3 -> Target C3 = Target CC_Target Product
Else Target C3 = source C3 (which is SUBACCOUNT)
C5 (Cost Center) and C6 (Product) are mapped before C3.
In order to make Drill-Through working, we save UD5X and UD6X in ATTR2, ATTR3 so the user can see it, and we set then UD5X and UD6X to [None] so the Drill_Through SQL Query returns the values from FDM. If after loading the user goes to validate step, he will see [None] in C5 and C6 but actually this does not really matter as C3 has already been mapped and is the value to be loaded. If the want to review target product or target cc then they drill down to attribute information.

Server Error: When clicking on "Drill Through to FDM"

Hi Everyone,
I am getting a server error (404 Resource not found) whenever I click on "Drill through to FDM" from a datagrid cell in HFM. I found that the link it was trying to access was
http://in-ccubicoe3/HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx
which it would not find as FDM is there on another server.
My setup is as follows:
IN-CCUBICOE3: HFM on IIS
IN-CCUBICOE2: FDM on IIS
I added the document link in FDM as follows: http://in-ccubicoe2/HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/LogonPage.aspx?AppName=DEMOAPP
Where am I getting it wrong?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Sayantan

Hello,
You are right; I have deployed everything on IIS. This I have been forced to do due to performance reasons as FDM on the same server as HFM was making the response very slow. Is there any settings/registry tweak which can give a workaround for this?
The final solution would obviously be to configure all web apps on the same machine. But I read somewhere what 64 bit HFM web application cannot coexist with FDM as FDM binaries are 32 bit. This makes me think, that there must be something so that enables these two to be configured in a distributed setup?
Thanks for the tips.

Clarifications on ODI installation (for FDM ERPi to drill through EBS)

This is for drilling EBS from HFM and Planning through FDM. EPM is 11.1.2.2. ODI is 11.1.1.6.0.
A sharing on the steps I am going to perform, anyone who has done it before or idea on how to do so please help me to have a look and validate. I found documentation on EPM and ODI installation separately but I don't find step-by-step guide to make the subject configuration work. Please let me know if you know one. Thanks a lot.
The FDM ERPi component will be configured AFTER ODI is up and running. FDM and all other EPM components are up-and-running before the ODI installation.
Steps to install/configure ODI:
1. Create DB schema, one for MASTER and one for WORK, grant DB access according to the install guide
2. Use Oracle RCU (Repository Creation Utility) v11.1.1.3.3 to populate the MASTER and WORK tables
3. run ODI installer, using the jdk160 located in the ORACLE middleware home directory
4. select all available components of ODI for installation i.e. ODI Studio (with local agent), ODI SDK, Standalone Installation, all under Java EE installation (Java EE Agent, ODI Console, Public Web Service)
Have read the manual up to here, will update the thread when I go further, again feel free to comment.
Last step, to trigger EPM configurator to configure the ERPi component

Hello,
In the situation you have described unless the Authentication mechanism and the style of that mechanism for all the environments (in this sitaution Hyperion vs. Oracle EBS) are identical then there is no unified approach. Generally when going from Hyperion into Oracle EBS the EBS landing page is returned prompting you for valid credentials.
In order for this to work in on seemless move you would have to use OID with OSSO.
OID = Oracle Internet Directory
OSSO = Oracle Single Sign On
Thank you,

Drilling through datasource in hfm

Hi
Friends Can we drill through to datasource (oracle ) without FDM
Thanks
Mayank

In order to use Excel for editing and loading metadata into HFM, and supposing that you will use the classic metadata interface, bare in mind that the concept is to save Excel data as text with the .APP format. For a complete description of the .APP format refer to the HFM Administrator's Guide page 97. An .APP file is a delimited file, which can be easily exported from Excel. In general you should want to maintain Accounts, Entities and Custom dimensions in Excel, since they are the ones that change most often. Use the HFM desktop to manage other dimensions like scenarios, and merge the text content of this with the extract from Excel before loading the .APP file.
Each dimension in an .APP file is defined in two paragraphs, the first is member definitions and the second is member hierarchies. Beware that a shared member is defined only once in the definitions and as many times as necessary in the hierarchies.
Some recommendations on the format of the Excel:
1. Define a column for each member attribute.
2. Use a column to write a formula that merges attribute values with the proper delimiters in between so that you will export this column for member definitions.
3. Construct hierarchies using 10-15 columns depending on the dimension.
4. The hard part is to create the hierarchy paragraph for each dimension, you may need to write some Excel VBA code.
Hope this helps

When drill through from FR report, navigate to FDM landing page.

Hi,
Data loaded in HFM 11.1.2.1 using FDM 11.1.2.1 and it has been replaced by ERP integrator 11.1.2.1.501. When we perform drill through from Financial reporting report it is navigating to the FDM landing page instead of ERP integrator landing page. In FDM landing page, showing the ERROR:
"Error: Error Retrieving recordset"
Anyone please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Yamuna

Hi ,
My guess is that , when you loaded the data from ERPi the drill regions created by FDM have been over written. Hence you are not able to drill down to the FDM page. This happens in most of the scenarios , where if the data is loaded across an intersection using FDM and then again the data is loaded in the same intersection using some other way like Flat Files or ERPi the Drill Regions or Drill POVs get compromised.
To confirm whether your FDM drill back is working or not , create a simple form using any of the intersections from your dimensionS ( not the same ones used above ) and load a single line of data using FDM across those intersections in the form. Try drilling back to the FDM Landing Page and check. Same way , create a report for the same intersections and check drill back to FDM. Remember to check the :Drill - Through" check box in the property grid in the Grid Properties for that report.

FDM Drill Through from HFR

Greetings all -
I have not been able to find much documentation about the new FDM drill through feature from HFR. I'm looking for how it works, what is going on in the background, etc. I assume that it is mostly based on a SQL query back to FDM, but is there more to it than that?
I appreciate any information or documentation to be had.
Thank you,
Sarah

Hello Sarah,
The drillthrough from HFR to FDM is seemless. The Hyperion Applications (HFM, Planning, Essbase) all store the information if it came from FDM in a unique way. This unique way is now an identifier so that drillback is available only for the valid cells. Other products that leverage that data (FR, Smartview, Retrieve) will then interpret that data as well.
The drillback actually launches a pre-built FDM WebPage, Logs you in with the credentials provided via the source, and then displays potential records.
Thank you,

Drill Through from FDM/ERPI to Source ERP

Per my understanding, when loading data from FDM to a Target EPM system, the drill through from say HFM back to FDM would log on using your credentials via SSO. In other words, I log in as testuser in HFM and drill through, then that testuser id and password must be set up in shared services in the same manner in the epm target system as well as FDM.
Does the same hold true when you drill through from FDM/ERPI back to the Source ERP? In other words, the same ID and password must be set up in HFM, FDM, and say EBS ERP? Or is there a way to set a Global ID for the drill from FDM to the ERP?
Thank you in advance

Drill Through to HFM Works for One Location, Not Another - Same Adapter

Good morning all -
I have two locations that both use the same adapter to load to the same HFM application. One location produces the drill through files, one does not.
I've seen several posts about needing separate applications for multiple adapters, but surely this doesn't apply if the adapter is the same? Am I missing a location specific setting somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Sarah

This was a stupid mistake on my part. I looked through the output and never saw the A, B, C files get produced, so I assumed it never worked. I failed to notice that we had also always had .err files, which prevents drill through files from being created. I answered my own question on the phone with Oracle support. :)
Thanks for your response.

FDM drill-through to source data residing in SQL Server

Hi-
I am trying to create an FDM app allowing for drill through down to the source residing in SQL Server tables. Is it currently possible with a custom integration script which pulls data from the source and some out of the box functionality which traces back to the source data? The drill through stops at FDM work table but I need to be able to see live data in the source. What do I need to do or install to achieve that? Thank you in advance.

Well thats news to me. I know there are some custom solutions offered by partners which can drill back to any ODBC source but I've not seen a Oracle offering. Marketing literature is not always the most reliable source of information :)

Drill through from Planning to FDM 11.1.2 Not working

Hi,
I have FDM with Essbase adapter installed, version 11.1.2.0.0.
And i have FDM application configured to load data from files to essbase. When in Planning form i am clicking 'drill through' icon on cell with loaded data it opens new window with error:
Error: No locations were found matching the passed intersection values. Please verify:
1) that the target system (originating the drill through) is properly configured;
2) that FDM POVs have not been retroactively modified or compromised.
In the FDM error log the following record:
ERROR:

And we can see that (CatTarget) = N'EXP.011201PDV.BDRS.BUDGET' consist of three joined together elements from three different dimension EXP.011201(account) and PDV.BDR(custom3) and S.BUDGET(scenario).
With other custom dimensions in this select statement - the same error, in front of correct element - string with other joined elements.
Can anybody help me to understand why i have this error in drill through?
FDM error or Oracle RDBMS errors or Planning with Essbase? Something wrong with locale setting may be, with "," or "." delimiter somewhere in the settings?

Hi there
Are you using member aliases or names? I had problems with aliases in excel not allowing drill through. not sure if this is fixed in 11.1.2
Are you trying to drill through from a level 0 intersection?

HFM Drill Through FDMEE

Dear all,
perhaps one of you guys can help me here.
I am struggeling around with the HFM (11.1.2.3.500.17) to FDMEE drill through functionality. As far as I was told the only thing you need to set up ist the FDMAppName in HFM Application Settings and that's it.
But: what is actually the App Name in FDMEE? The Application Root Folder determined in the FDMEE application settings or the target HFM application?
Second question: I have tried both, but still I do not get the drill through option offered when right-clicking an input cell in HFM. May I have missed another setting somewhere?
Your help is much appreciated!
Phil

Hi SH,
Thanks your prompt and helpful reply! Now it works.
Reason was: FDMEE - Setup - Target Application - Application Options - Drill Region was set to "No". Changed it to Yes. That was it actually.
FDMAppName within HFM Application settings has, as you said, apparently no effect in combination with FDMEE.
Best Regards
Phil

Drill through from smartview to FDM gives HTTP 400 BAD Request

Hi All,
I've loaded data using FDM 11.1.1.3 to HPCM (Essbase)
I retrieved the data in Smartview and when moving my mouse over the cell i see the Drill through tekst balloon.
But when drilling through via Hyperion->Drill-Through-Reports it goes to the url :
http://<EAS SERVER>:13080/HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx
instead of
http://<FDMSERVER>/HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx
The first URL is in the Smartview settings but if i change that Smartview doesn't work anymore.
Has anyone a clue how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

FDM Drill through capabilty from Hyperion Planning

Hi,
I have currently some questions regarding the Drill through capability from Hyperion planning.
I successfully loaded a multiperiod excel file into FDM with the interface with this property :
Account     Centre     Description     Legal Entity     BU Product     Currency     Version     Application     Customer     Supplier
A     C     D     UD1     UD2     UD3     UD4     UD5     UD6     Default Supplier     V     V
ROYALTIES          Default_Site     SOI - Prime - 4 - 3400/4000 Å -     COMPANY_INC     4.PRO.RD0003.PF     USD     Sales Initial     App_1     Customer1     Default Supplier     100     200
When i did the drill back I could see all the info except the description. It is true that description field is not present in Hyperion planning but I thougth I could see it in the drill back.
On top of that I have been to my FDMApplication directory to see the file that is used in the drill back (SAMPLE0748.dat) and open it with notepad. I can see all the information except the description column.
Does anyone know how I can keep in FDM all the informations I want from my first excel file ?
Thank you,
David

I understand what you explain to me and I agree.
Only one problem is that I don't think in my Hyperion Application I use the account description or Description 2 that would explain the fact I can not use it in the drill back.
So my next question on this topic is, how do I make sure that I can copy attributes values in FDM into Planning.
For your info I check on the workbench and "Account description" & "Description 2" are under my application "Attributes dimensions"
By the way I have an other question wich is not far from the last one.
Regarding the drill back if do an import like this :
CUST1     (Mapping)     GROUPCUST1      100
CUST2     (Mapping)     GROUPCUST1 200
Will I be able to see in the Drill back CUST1 & CUST2 ?
by the way do you agree with this discussion Dimensions/Fields Displayed on Drill through screen ? Because it is something I wanted to do in FDM...
Thanks again,

HFM 9.3.1 drill through FDM
