Hyperion web analysis reports: Error defining Drill through connections.

Hi
we are facing problems while defining Drill through connections.
I am trying to define Drill through connection for oracle but i am unable to define.
I am having pracle client in my system and getting error: Getting connection failed.
In details: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
DB connection string: jdbc:oracle:thin:@HOST-NAME:1521:ORCL
Here i have entered IP address in HOST-NAME and service name in ORCL.
Do we need to do anything(prerequisites) before define Drill through ?
Please help me on this.
Nagesh.

Hi,
1. First check whether jdbc driver(ojdbc14.jar) file is present into "C:\Hyperion\BIPlus\InstallableApps\WebAnalysis _war\WEB-INF\lib" folder.
OR
C:\Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\WebAnalysis\webapps\WebAnalysis\WEB-INF\lib (any one of these depends upon the class u assigned)
Plz check the classpath as well.
if ojdbc14.jar file is not present in any of these path, place it there.
2. Java is case sensitive, SO ur server name should be in CAPS. (First, try to connect to Relational DB thru New-->DBconnection-->Relational)
Plz let me know if u still have any issue.
Best of luck

Need assistance in Hyperion Web Analysis Report

Hi All,
I am using HFM with Oracle database as the data source for reports and using Hyperion 931 components.
I have a requirement in Key Performance Indicators reports (KPI)
1) Need to have a custom column of current year Actuals Vs Plan data
2) Need to have a custom column of current year Actuals Vs prior year Actuals data
3) Need to indicate Font colours based on the values derived in columns (1) and (2) - if positive data - green colour
if negative data - red colour
I am trying to replicate this in Web Analysis report, but facing issues on
1)Making this year value dynamic (shd change based on current year or atleast should prompt when we run report)
2) Since i have fixed the report with 2008 and 2007 year, all the formattig made whiel creating the Report goes away, if i try to run the report with different year values like in 2010 and 2009 year (as current and prior year)
3) Also, i have hided some coulumns based on our requirement which also no longer exists if i change the year values (available in coulmns)
Please suggest any comments to resolve these issues, Moreover i am new to Web Analysis reporting tool ,so kindly suggest, if i am not using any of the existing WebAnalysis features to derive my requirement.
Expecting your earliest response.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi Siva,
If you are using the Essbase as a data source then you can achieve these things from using the substitution variable in WA report.
Assume you have a substitution variable in Essbase cube for current year. In WA report in Dimension Browse, right-click a dimension member and select "Substitution Variable”. The Substitution Variable dialog box is displayed. Here select a substitution variable from the list of Essbase substitution variables.
To get the Prior year, again in Dimension Browse, right-click a dimension member and select the "Also select Previous". Here define the prior year that you want to use in your report.
Sorry, I have no idea about the substitution variables in the HFM (It might be that we call the substitution variable with another name in HFM).
Hope it will help you.
Thanks & Regards,

Web Analysis report error : Array Index out of range :1

while running from workspace , below error is being thrown after making few changes to the layout (e.g. moving Measures from Page to Row ) though Design for HTML setting applied.
Array Index out of range :1
These reports are running well in WA studio.
Can any one advise on this please.

Array index out of range: 1The only time you will get that error is when you are accessing an elements index that is not present in the actual indexes in that array

Few Hyperion Web Analysis questions

Hi All,
We are using Web Analysis 11.1.2 and i am a newbie to it. I have few questions regarding reports which may be of very basic level;
Q1. If we right click on a report then we have an option of "Edit data" through which we can enter data directly into planning. My question is that how can i disable this option for all users as i don't want them to manipulate any data through a report?
Q2. As we have made a report in which we have used the dimension members that are used in Hyperion planning. The name of member in Hyperion planning for example is ABC and i want to change the name to XYZ in Hyperion Web analysis report. How is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Q1 depends on the level of provisioning and or useraccess permissions on essbase/olap level.
Use Shared Services in combination with EAConsole to restrict this.
Q@. In plain/ native essbase you can add aliases to the member. Normally you do not edit planning members in essbase (since you have to change them in planning it self) But perhaps you can. You can give it a try in a testenvironment.

Hyperion Web Analysis- Issue in fetching data 50000 rows

Whenever trying to fetch more than 50000 rows in a Hyperion Web Analysis report, the output is truncated to 50000 rows only. A message is displayed for the same.
As a solution we have tried the following
1) Increase the MaxDataCellLimit and MaxJDBCCellCount to 999999 and restarted the services
2) Ftchmembersize has also been increased and services restarted.
However inspite of trying out these options with few a more rows than 50,000 the report is not opening.
Please suggest a workable solution with Hyperion Web Anaysis to handle records between 50000-300000 range.( Source may be Essbase or relational).
Which tool in Hyperion suite 11.1.2.1 would be the best candidate to handle transactional rows of huge volume ?
Regards,
Anirban

Why don't you try Smart View or the excel addin, Web Analysis was not really designed to dump large amount of rows into it.
If it is just an extract you are looking for then there lots of export options.

How to Set up the User POV in Web Analysis report

Hi , I am new to create the Hyperion Web Analysis report.
I am trying to set up the user POV. I have followed the document and did the below steps.
1. I went to User preference -> OLAP Server -->checked the BOX "Save Filters only for POV".
2. selected the layout and in options checked the Use user POV.
after that I have opened the report in HTML. nothing got prompted.
When I opened the Financial report, It will prompt user to select the year, period, entity, etc... I need the same way in Web Analysis also.
I have selected Accounts in rows, Entity, Year, Period in columns , rest all i kept in Filters.
Could some one please help me how user can get prompted to select the members from dimensions.
Thanks

What you have in Webanalysis is POV and PV
Applying Point of View (POV)
Selecting Personal Variables
You can also look at Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: WebAnalysis - how to show the current user's report when he logs in to see how PV can be leveraged.
There is no prompt option in WebAnalysis

Error while operating Web analysis report in Workspace

I have created a web analysis report in which i have provided buttons, on the click event of button it must open a link provided.This button is working fine when opened using Web Analysis studio but on running this report in workspace, when i press the button i get this error "This Service is not supported by the HTML client".
Please help.

Have you tried checking the "Design for HTML" from the Edit toolbar to see if you get any error when saving?
Do you have any advanced items on the report, as there are 4 types of differences between Studio and HTML:
- font differences, Workspace (DHTML) uses the WA Server fonts whereas WA Studio client machine fonts.
- Service Buttons are very restricted using Workspace
- Display: Tab selection, Splitter panels, Slider selection do not render in Workspace
- Cannot restrict WA Tools menu in Workspace at all, where you can in the Studio.
For exact details check out the Hyperion Web Analysis Studio User’s Guide from the Doc Library:

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
Thanks,
PVR

In a nut shell Hyperion Web Analysis is useful for reports having user drill downs. The end users will have the capability to drill down and select member from different Point of Views.
Financial Reports can be used for regulatory reporting and reports in standard format.
You can create reports in both Financial Reports and Web Analysis from Planning based on your requirement.
Please read the documentation for more information on the differences between the two products.

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports Pros and Cons

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
My Customer is asking the Merits and De merits of using both FR & Web Analysis tools for Hyperion Planning. Pls. help
Thanks,
PVR

Hi John,
I'm using FR extensively now and used Web Analysis before. We use FR for Good formatted Reports, where as Web Analysis we use for adhoc Reporting Purpose. users can do slicing/dicing, Drill down/up in Web Analysis Reports, where as this feature is not available completely in FR
We use FR for Planning right ? What is the main advantage of using FR over Planning ? I belive with Web Analysis over Planning may cause performance issues
Thanks,

Disable Drill options only for one dimension of Web Analysis report

Hi,
Please help me on below issue.
I created a web analysis report with 3 dimensions Accounts, MRC and Measure. I have to disable drill down and drill up options only for Measure. Accounts and MRC should be drillable where as Measure should show the selected member as static and not drillable.
Thanks

Hi Swetha,
You must've realized that- Even if you select only the desired members, you end up being able to drill-down unwanted members. Correct ? :)
The only way, I believe, is- To create a users' group at your Data source side, perhaps, Essbase & provision this new group with a Metaread filter which prevents him/her from Drilling down to the leaf node.
PS: Giving Read access might also let the user not see the data for children. But, if you want to hide the members also, Metaread+ is the way to go.

Drill Down and Drill UP on Web Analysis Report

Hi all,
I have a question regarding Drill down and Drill up on Web Analysis Report.
The situation is the following:
I've created a report with some account parent elements in row. The dimension account has a multiple hierarchy.
I need to drill down on the child of these elements keeping the parente on top and so i've selected the option "Selected Member First".
The drill down it's ok for the first drill to go on the next level but when i drill down once more to go on the next level of the selected member hierarchy the drill move this level out hierarchy.
Can someone help me on this point?
After that i've drilled just to the last level when i drill up on these elements to return on the previous level i note that in the report happens a strange thing:
The Drill Up works fine but on the report appears another elements which is the same parent with anothe code/alias of another hierarchy instead of the Selected member.
On this i've noted tha this 2 different parente have the same elements...I think that the children of the selected memeber can be shared members....Can be this the problem?
Thanks for the help.
Best Regards
Eugenio Gualtieri

Hi John,
thanks for your answer.
I've trayed to set the report on Smart View to virify tou test your advise.
The situatio is the following:
IS05101010-PUBBLICITA'
702000 - VEND. DI SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
702010 - RETTIFICHE VENDITE SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
W10004 - RICAVI PUBBL ICITA' ATTIVA (Q.EDIT) INTE
W10007 - RICAVI DA SPAZIO PUBBL. INTERASA
W10029 - RETTIFICA RICAVI PUBBL. INTERASA
ED05101010-PUBBLICITA'
702000 - VEND. DI SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
702010 - RETTIFICHE VENDITE SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
W10004 - RICAVI PUBBL ICITA' ATTIVA (Q.EDIT) INTE
W10007 - RICAVI DA SPAZIO PUBBL. INTERASA
W10029 - RETTIFICA RICAVI PUBBL. INTERASA
If I take only one parent member the drill up works fine but if i take all 2 memeber as above and i decide to drill up on one of the two element occur that the drill work for the two elements at the same time.
Afetr the drill in this case the situation is:
IS05101010-PUBBLICITA'
ED05101010-PUBBLICITA'
Can be a problem due to shared memebers?
Thanks for your help.

Error connecting to web analysis report from workspace

Hi,
There are a number of web analysis reports. There is a link to one in a planning task list. However, when the report is opened an error appears saying
Required application context analyzer is not available. Please contact your administrator
The report opens is web analysis. I tried other reports from within workspace by browsing to them from within the folder structure and got the error for all of them.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
Nathan

A) restart your services in correct order
B) be sure that the analyzer.properties (baseurl) is correct and can be reached from the workspace server.
C) wrong SSL config and certificates produce sometimes suprisingly strange error messages.

Error while opening the web analysis reports.

Hi,
Whenever i am trying to open any web analysis reports i am getting the error message as "error occurred while opening document. document Id={0}. Is anyone have any idea about this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Ekta

Hi,
I had also faced this problem earlier. I was using HFM as data source for WA reports. After searching I found that there was some change at HFM level. Some dimensions/members had been deleted or added in HFM. And I was using those missing members in WA Grid.
I had to recreate my reports again as I didn't get any other way to deal with this problem.
Please shared any other alternative option, if you found while working on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
