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

in my case the year is not changing to 2006 for DEC i'm using Relative member -1 function
can please let me know how to slove this issue .Ts is very urgent.

try to do it in 2 columns ( let say you have selected 'Jul' and '2007'
First column

2007 - Jan to y
where x = prev month

Hyperion Financial Reports books issue

I am trying to generate books using Hyperion Financial reporting in Excel. But, I do see only PDF or HTML options to create books. Is there any other way we can create HFR book in excel with separate tabs for dimenions members in the Page drop down? Please advise.

There isn't an option to create Hyperion Books in Excel, however you can create a Smart View report in Excel and use the cascade feature, which prompts the user to create the dimension to use (it must be in the POV).
This will create a tab per member selected for the report, it will even duplicate charts if you have created them in the base Excel report.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Iain

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:

Hyperion Financial Reporting Configuration Issue

Hi,
I installed Hyperion Financial Reporting version 11.1.1.1.0 where the Hyperion Web Analysis and Workspace installed in the same server.
I am able to open the Financial Reporting Studio but not able to open HFR through Workspace.
Let me explain you what I did exactly:
1) Installed Reporting and Analysis( HFR)
2) Ran the COnfiguration Utility and configured the Reporting And Analysis Server
3) Checked in Preference to see if Reporting And Analysis is present in the left side, I could see Web Analysis and can create Reports in it.
Then tried to access HFR through Workspace but not working. I updated Context.properties and set reports to Y and then recycled the services but still no luck..
Please correct me if I missed anything to configure the HFR.
Thanks in advance for your help..

This issue was resolved after stopping the Workspace services and ran the Configuration Utility. Now, able to view financial reporting and web analysis reports in workspace...

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.

Hyperion Financia reporting ..Conditional Suppression

We have user POV as Scenario in financial reporting. User can select Current budget or Next budget as scenarios. If the selected budget is current, then report should display years in column as FY07, FY08, FY09, FY10, and FY11. If the selected budget is next, then report should display years in column as FY08, FY09, FY10,FY11,FY12. How do we achieve this in Hyperion Financial reporting 9.2? Thanks, Manohar Anchan 

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.It worked except for some formatting issue .I wanted every month to be in seperate column.As far as Current variable being set to Dec is concerned , I need to figure that out.Atlesat I got some lead to start with......... Thanks, Mnaohar Anchan

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.

Hyperion financial reporting hierarchical structure of the rows

Hi All,
I am using hyperion financial reporting for creating reports.
I have a prompt for account in the row dimension and according to the selection of the
row dimension the tree like structure will come for the member selected.
I am getting the tree stucture but it is like an inverted tree structure.
What should i do to get the correct tree structure?
Thanks

If you are descendants of accounts, it is not possible. However, try IAncestors of level 0 account. I never tried that.
Good luck!

Sort Columns in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hello Experts,
Am a rookie in Hyperion Financial Reporting. I need to know how to carry out the following actions while developing the reports.
1) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to arrange the columns in an ascending order during view time when all the columns within the range are displayed in the report?
2) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to suppress selected columns within the range.

Hi,
probably there should not be any need of using substitution variable.
Use following functions: (assume you selected "Mar2008" )
Range from Apr2007 to Mar 2008
Now you have to derive the underline values.
Apr2007 ---> Use "Relative Member" function and offset the Current User POV by -12.
Mar2008 ----> Current User POV.
This way you will always get the last 12 months.
Hopefully this will solve your problem.

Location of Hyperion Financial Reports on Server

Hello,
Are the Hyperion Financial Reports available as raw files on the web server somewhere? I'd like to restore one from backup and was hoping they'd be in the \Hyperion directory as .des files. Probably won't be this easy, but any info would be great.
Thanks.

For 7.2.5 Reports, they are in a SQL database table (i think something RPTS) and the binary data field has the text of the report. (I actually like this because if you wanted to check what reports made use of a account, entity, etc, you could just do a freetext search on the table.....)
For 9.3.1 Reports, they are in a crazy file structure, with crazy names, and are compressed. You will find them under the RM service/web application folder. In order to X-REF the names properly, you'll need to look into the BI Plus database a bit. The table of interest is V8_CONTAINER.
I put together a SQL 2005 script that will generate you a listing of all of the reports in a hierarchy format. This will will also help you tie out the folders / reports in the file structure......
NOTE : WHERE d.PARENT_FOLDER_UUID = 'REPORTMART'
^ This will return a hierarchy of EVERYTHING in the table which will probably include stuff you don't want to look at. Simply change 'REPORTMART' to match a UUID specified in the results and then the query will show you all items at that point instead.
Hope this helps

Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
- different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
- different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
- units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
(*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
(**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
More precisely, the questions are:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Pawel

I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
What is your opinion? Best regards!

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.
