Hyperion Reports 2.6 updating substituion variables in a prompt

I'm running into a problem where I update a substitution variable on my Essbase server and then go to pull a report in Hyperion Reports v2.6.The report is set up to prompt the user to choose a member from the Time dimension, I have the default set to use the substitution variable 'cur_week'.The problem is when I update the variable on Essbase and pull the report, the report defaults to the old variable value. The only way I can get it to display the new value is to restart the Report Server.Has anyone experienced this? Do you know of a way to work around this?Thanks in advance

Decided to go with a batch script to restart the service on Report Server. Combined with a MaxL script to update the subvariables. Run both back to back and it seems to work.Not the ideal solution, but as long as I don't kick off while a report is running, it seems like it will work.

along with nqsconfig.ini file you need to do the changes in instanceconfig.xml file too see below:
Stop Oracle BI Server and Presentation Services on all nodes except where you are refreshing the user GUIDs. For example:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obis1
Update the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI:
Open NQSConfig.INI for editing at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
Locate the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter and set it to YES, as follows:
FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = YES;
Save and close the file.
Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml:
Open instanceconfig.xml for editing at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/
coreapplication_obipsn
Locate the Catalog element and update it as follows:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
<UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
</Catalog>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Oracle BI Server and Presentation Services using opmnctl:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obis1
./opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obis1
After you confirm that the Oracle BI Server is running, then start Presentation Services:
./opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obips1
Set the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI back to NO.
Important: You must perform this step to ensure that your system is secure.
Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml to remove the UpdateAccount GUIDs entry.
Restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system components again using opmnctl:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopall
./opmnctl startall
Hope it helps

Hyperion Reporting 7.21 - E-mail / SMPT Configuration

Good afternoon,
I need to update my SMTP configuration to point to our new Exchange server as my Scheduler within HR no longer sends e-mails. I have updated our hr_global.properties file to reflect the new server and recycled the services. I can also send test messages via telnet which also works properly. When I execute a Scheduled Batch I receive a "Success" message but the e-mail is never sent. Here's the back-end error message that is received within the HRSchedSvr.log file.

Hi Ekta,
Probably the best Hyperon tool is Financial Reporting, which creates Production ready reporting/PDFs for export or bursting scheduling.
Although I'm not sure about supporting JavaBean as a data source - one way around it might be to export the data from the source into an essbase "reporting cube".
Here's a link to the Financial Reporting Studio user guide for more info:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/nav/portal_4.htm
(it's under the link for "Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition" in html or pdf).
It might also be an option to look at SQR, although I don't have any experience with the product myself.
Hope that helps to get you started, Iain

Hyperion Reports unable to connect to HFM

I have a problem with Win32 version of Hyperion Reports 7.2.1.6.
Server: Windows Server 2003
WorkStation: Windows XP Professional [Version 5.1.2600]
HFM server version: 4.0.2.0.967
Reports client version: 7.2.1.6
HFM client version: 4.0.1.0.750
Description of problem: In Reports Win32 client, File>Database Connection Manager>Edit [HFM application] connection, attempt to connect, fails, giving access error,
"Failed to Connect to Server. [Show details] Error connecting to database connection SENAOD: Access is denied"
On the HFM server, the security event log shows rejection of the userID that is in use on the workstation. This ID has no rights on the server. This configuration worked fine, I believe, until a group of Windows patches was applied.
KB954211
KB956390
KB956803
KB956841
KB957095
KB958644
My bet is that at least one of these patches eliminated unauthenticated access to HFM connectivity. My challenge now is to reconfigure HFM and Reports to work under these new Windows security rules. Can anyone help?
More information:
Browser client works fine, Win32 client does not.
Win32 client works fine from server's client installation and from client installation on another server. These servers are all in the same MS Active Directory domain. My conclusion is that success comes because I log into these servers using a valid MSAD ID.
Failure is only on workstations trying to connect to the servers.
Workstation user authentication is LDAP via Novell eDirectory

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.

Error while running batch in Hyperion Reports

Has anybody run accross this error while trying to run a batch in Hyperion Reports:
Unexpected Error creating query to datasource in createCubeViews:
The book the batch is running is big...

Have you ever successfully scheduled a batch? Make sure the scheduled batch name does not contain an ampersand "&" symbol or an apostrophe/single tick symbol. Those cause batches to error out for us.

Reports are not updated on the dashboard

Hello guys
I have created some reports and dashboards in OBIEE. Everything looks good. The only problem is that they are not updated with new data as the days go by.
In other words, the next day and the day after when users log in to view the same report, they are still seeing the same old data where it should be updated already when new data were already loaded into the db. When clicking on refresh botton, it still didn't update..
I believe there must be some caching issues that causes it, but cache is needed as a part of performance tuning. So how would I be able to update the record and not slowing the performance for reports that are updating daily?
Please help

Hi,
This certainly sounds like a caching issue, you need to decide on a method for purging the cache of stale entries. My personal favourite is a custom informatica WF added as a following task to the DAC execution plan. This WF calls as OBDC function against the Analytics ODBC which purges the cache, ensuring that there are no stale entries after the ETL has finished.
For more info on caching please see my blog entry here:

Hyperion Reporting and Analysis - DAS, IR and Job Services Replication..

Dear All,
We are on Hyperion System 9.3.1 on Windows box and Repository in Oracle 10g Database. We have around 300 Interactive scheduled jobs.
When these jobs are getting executed Hyperion Services are getting hang and In logs we are getting "Process out of memory..".
In order to overcome "Process out of Memory.. Exiting" error. We need to replicate DAS, Interactive Reporting and Job Services on the same machine.
I am doing Hyperion's IR, DAS, JOB Services Replication in Development environment. To achieve the same I performed the following tasks :
# I have installed and configured Hyperion System 9.3.1 below components on MS Windows XP professional SP2 and Repository in Oracle 10g database.
Hyperion Shared Services 9.3.1
Hyperion Reporting and Analysis BI+ Services
Hyperion Reporting and Analysis UI+ Services
Every thing was configured fine.
# To replicate the IR, DAS and Job Services. I started the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis BI+ Setup on the same machine then I select IR, DAS and Job Services.
# Next I started Configuration Utility. Which ask me to configure Database. I selected the same database which I used for BI Services previously. Database Configuration was successful.
# I changed the Port as below
Core Services to 7801 instead of 6801
Chaged the port for Job Service 7796 instead of 6796.
# Next started Service Configurator where System was showing one more Job Service (JF2_<hostname>) in Remote Service Configurator. And in Local Service Configurator System was showing new BI and DAS. Then I configured Data Sources in DAS.
# Started the Services.
Next I started the Scheduled Jobs. It is taking same time as earlier. In logs it is showing that Only JF2_<hostname> Service is getting used. System is not using JF1_<HOSTNAME> anymore.
I have few query regarding this.
1) Why Configuration Utility didn't ask for GSM host and Port? Do I need to configure it manually?
2) I have not chaged the port for DAS and IR Services. my concern is regarding port usage by new DAS and IR Services ? Do I need to configure it or It will be managed by system itself?
Please show me the direction. Any help would be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Manmohan Sharma

We have replicated the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Services by changing the port number of Replicated Services to non-default port.
Services are working fine.

Hyperion Reporting Studio 9.3.1

Any idea on how to import batch reports from previous Hyperion Reports. Currentyl, I have to import one report at a time and it is time consuming. Also, I would to know how to set up Web Forms and Data Grid in Workspace 9.3.1

I was wondering if you might know what my problem is! (Well hyperion related anyway).
I built an entire development environment for our 9.3.1 systems, including Financial Reporting. I attempted to export / import an entire zip folder full of reports; however, nothing happens on the import! When you supply the file, the status meter starts working and then it quickly ends without any success or failure message. Additionally, when I look in the folders, none of the reports have been imported. At first I thought the issue might have been related to the size of my zip file as I exported a large number of folders/reports. Unfortunately, I still receive the same issue when I try importing a much smaller file of ~10 reports.
Any thoughts as to what the issue might be?
Thanks!

Table of Contents In Hyperion Reports

 Hi, I setup a Hyperion Report with location used for pages. When I print report, I get the expected result of each page being a location I specified, and in the order I specified. I'd like to distribute same report as pdf, but incorporate a table of contents based on page definition in report. Page 1 would have my table of contents, page 2 would have the first location, page 3 the second location, etc. Is this feasible? Thanks in advance for your help. -Carl

Hi Carl Can I ask you something before I give you the feedback on thisone. Do you use the system built in table of contents or did youdesign one? (1) If you have designed the table of contents I would sayit is feasible to incorporate them in pdf formataccordingto your order in the report bookBUT(2) If you use the system built in table of contents the orderwill be determined by the number of your reports you add inthe report book

Timeline. How does (or does not) update global variables?

Hello All,
I am having problems to understand how a timeline updates values. In my case the timeline is supposed to change an index within a second always by incrementing it by one or decrementing by one. Basically I am trying to create a mosaic of images that when I press left key all the columns move to left and when I press right key all the columns move to right.
To do this I have a deltaX constant that defines the translation.
Then I have a global tracker initialized to 0 and then udated +1 if move to right, -1 if move to left.
The Timeline is:
public var tracker: Number = 0;
var thumbnails: ImageView[] = bind for (column in [0..appModel.CATALOG_COLUMNS + 1]) {
                for (row in [1..appModel.CATALOG_ROWS]) {
                    def imageView: ImageView = ImageView {
                                image: bind catalogData.dataAt(row, column)
                                x: bind (column - 1)*catalogData.maxThumbnailWidth + column*xSpacing
                                y: bind ySpacing + (row - 1) * (catalogData.maxThumbnailHeight + ySpacing)
                                translateX: bind tracker*deltaX
                                transforms: bind [
                                    Rotate {
                                        angle: bind direction * rotation
                                        pivotX: bind imageView.x + imageView.boundsInLocal.width / 2
                                        pivotY: bind imageView.y + imageView.boundsInLocal.height / 2
    override public function create(): Node {
        return Group {
                    content: bind thumbnails
public function rotateAndTranslateToRight(): Void {
        direction = 1;
        translateAndRotateTimeline.stop();
        translateAndRotateTimeline.play();
    public function rotateAndTranslateToLeft(): Void {
        direction = -1;
        translateAndRotateTimeline.stop();
        translateAndRotateTimeline.play();
    var translateAndRotateTimeline = Timeline {
        def initialValueTracker = tracker;
                keyFrames: [
                    KeyFrame {
                        time: 0s
                        values: [
                             rotation => 0,
                             tracker => initialValueTracker
                    KeyFrame {
                        time: 1s
                        values: [
                            rotation => 360 tween Interpolator.LINEAR,
                            tracker => initialValueTracker + direction tween Interpolator.LINEAR
            }The problem is that if I first move to right the Timeline works correctly and tracker goes from 0 to 1 in one second, therefore I see a translation to right of tracker*deltaX pixels. So far so good.
Then if I move to left, I am expecting the Timeline to change tracker from 1 to 0 in one second, but really it is changing tracker from 0 to -1... which of course messes up my translation to left.
I thought Timeline updates global variables (define outside the Timeline in the context of the class the Timeline is defined) during the transition, but apparently from my observation it doesn't.
Or maybe I am not defining correctly the Timeline itself and/or the tracker variables?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply... but it didn't help me that much in finding the workaround. I wrote a simpler example to prove the point that can be easily copied and pasted and run. The example draw a circle and for every right key it should move the circle to right of a deltaX number of pixel. If left key is pressed then the circle should move to left of a deltaX number of pixels. The code is:
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyEvent;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;
import javafx.animation.Timeline;
import javafx.animation.KeyFrame;
import javafx.animation.Interpolator;
var deltaX: Number = 70;
var direction: Number = 1;
var tracker: Number = 0;
var circle: Circle;
var translate = Timeline {
    def initialValueTracker = tracker;
            keyFrames: [
                KeyFrame {
                    time: 0s
                    values: [
                        tracker => initialValueTracker
                KeyFrame {
                    time: 1s
                    values: [
                        tracker => initialValueTracker + direction tween Interpolator.LINEAR
Stage {
    title: "Application title"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 900
        height:500
        content: [
            circle = Circle {
                centerX: 100,
                centerY: 100,
                translateX: bind tracker*deltaX
                radius: 40
                fill: Color.BLACK
                onKeyPressed: function (e: KeyEvent): Void {
                    if (e.code == KeyCode.VK_RIGHT) {
                        direction = 1;
                        translate.stop();
                        translate.play();
                    } else if (e.code == KeyCode.VK_LEFT) {
                        direction = -1;
                        translate.stop();
                        translate.play();
circle.requestFocus();I understand how KeyFrame works. However the final value I'd like to be the initial value for next key press. I also tried to assign explicitely the final value to the tracker variable at the end of the timeline, but next time timeline still picks up the initial value 0 of tracker.
Thanks.

Hyperion Reports 7.25 Report Runs 10 - 20 Times Slower in FR 11.1.1.3

I exported a Report from Hyperion Reports V7.2.5 and Imported it into Financial Reporting V11.1.1.3 via Workspace. When I run the report in Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.1.3 or Workspace 11.1.1.3 it is 10 to 20 times slower.
Note, no changes have been made to the Report structure or the structure of the Essbase database that is being used as a datasource.
However, the Essbase Version is now 11.1.1.3. It was 7. Also, the server hosting the Financial Reporting 11.1.1.3 application is a VMWare Server - the server hosting Hyperion Reports V7.2.5 was a physical server not VMWare.
The only thing I did notice that was different in the report is when you highlight the entire grid and right-click to view Data Optimization Settings - there is an option in 11.1.1.3 that says "Essbase Queries use MDX" "Combined Queries with Member". This doesn't exist in Hyperion Reports V7.2.5.
Has anyone experience a simlar issue with this extreme performance degradation? I am using more robust servers with faster cpu's and more memory.
I did play around with the tcp/ip settings as recommended in a version 9.x support document, but this did nothing.

Thanks for replying Natesh.
Unfortunately I don't have a physical server to play around with. This was one of my concerns with using VMWare.
I didn't make any product configurations for Hyperion Reports V7.2.5. The only configurations I made were for tcp/ip settings.
I did try to run a V 7.2.5 report against Essbase 11 and it ran just as fast as it did against Essbase 7. This definitely leads me to believe the slower performance is related to Financial Reporting V11.1.1.3 or something on the server - note the performance issue is only on reports that retrieve large data sets. For all smaller reports there is no issue.
