Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...
Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\EXCEL.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
EXCEL.EXE
WordPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\WINWORD.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
WINWORD.EXE
PPTPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\POWERPNT.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
POWERPNT.EXE
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
ExportDataFullPrecision=true
To me this does not seem the way to go
This did not correct my problem.
Any ideas?
thanks
Erich

Hello,
Even we have the same issue.And changed the path in webanalysis.properties file.And it worked in entire report but in drillthru reports, export to excel 2010 didn't work and prompting to select the path to excel.Does anyone has solution for this??

HYPERION WEB ANALYSIS STUDIO RELEASE 1 1 . 1 . 2 .

Hi
I have an issue regarding Hyperion Web analysis Studio Release 11.1.2 I am using ESSBASE as a data source.
I want to make a report that aggregated rows between two Dimensions (lob and Accounts).
Instead of adding two dimensions in the row section I want one cell the aggregates the two dimensions
The value of the cell is the result of the intersection between the two dimensions.
For example instead of having
Account| LOB
I want a cell that calculate (LOB->Account) for each row
thanks

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 avoid the Web Analysis Studio applet window?

Hi,
I know we can launch Hyperion Web Analysis Studio in two ways.
1. From Workspace
2. Using the direct URL for Web Analysis Studio
In both cases, first a window launches with the title of Web Analysis Studio and with the message "Session in progress. Do not close this window...". And then another window launches for the actual Web Analysis Stuido tool.
My questions:
1. If a dashboard or report is launched directly using the WA URL for executives, this may be annoying for them to have an additional window. Is there a way to suppress this initial window by giving any parameter in the URL?
2. I know that user id,password and report name can be passed through the URL. What other parameters can be passed through the URL for Web Analysis server?

Clients with guest access that have had successful web authentication are allowed to sleep and wake up without having to go through another authentication process through the login page. You can configure the duration for which the sleeping clients are to be remembered for before reauthentication becomes necessary. The valid range is 1 hour to 720 hours (30 days), with the default being 12 hours. You can configure the duration on a WLAN and on a user group policy that is mapped to the WLAN. The sleeping timer becomes effective after the idle timeout. If the client timeout is lesser than the time configured on the sleeping timer of the WLAN, then the lifetime of the client is used as the sleeping time.

Export to excel/word/ppt failed at Web Analysis studio

Hi,
I open a document and right click to select export data and select Microsoft excel or word or ppt, and after input the file name, it will prompt an error message saying "can not export to file".
Is there any prerequisite to use the Export to Excel/Word/PPT functionalities at Web analysis studio of EPM 11.1.2? Do I need to install office at the server side?
Or I need specific version of office at client?
Thanks

From memory: you need to have MSOffice installed on the report/print server and also the corresponding mimetypes added to workspace.

"shaking" reports (Web Analysis Studio)

Hello guys,
I'm having problems with Hyperion System 9BI+ Web Analysis Studio. The screen starts to "shake" when I change any filters or open a report. This problem doesn't happen with all reports I have. I tried to compare them to see if there's something different causing the "shaking screen" but I couln't find the reason.
Has anybody experienced a problem like mine before?
Thanks!
Gabriel

I finally got a response this week, seems my ticket didn't get assigned when it went to Tier 2 support.
I was told it was a design issue with my WA report, not exactly what I had hoped for. I have 5 graphs on the report that had the shaking and only 1 of the graphs had the problem (and only when a line graph). We developed a template that we want to use for all WA reports to keep the same look & feel across applications and wanted to try to stay away from a scroll bar in Workspace. Support said it was an issue with the available space for the line graph to plot the points and WA trying to render that data.
I could get the "shaking" to stop when I increased the size of the graph, removed title or legend, change font size on the title or legend or change from a line chart to a bar chart.
Not sure if this will help your issue.

Freeform Grid Formulas Update in Web Analysis Studio but not in Workspace

I have created a Web Analysis document that contains a freeform grid. The grid has only one data object, which is built on an Essbase data source. The freeform grid contains calculations that I have input. While working in the Web Analysis studio, I can change the subscription controls that modify the values in the freeform grid and my formulas update correctly. However, when I view the document in the Workspace, the formulas do not update when I use the subscription controls to select different members. Has anyone had a similar problem? And if so, how did you solve it?

Thanks for your thoughts, Andy. I think you may be right. I've logged a Support Call with Oracle. They're trying to reproduce the "error". I'll update this thread when there's a resolution so that others will know the status of freeform grids in the HTML Workspace under version 9.2.

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.

Report In Web Analysis Studio

I am new to web analysis studio. We have essbase application and want to create a report for Top 50 customers. When I am creating report in web analysis then I am able to see the mmember and able to design the layout. But I dont know where to give the Crirteria for top 50 customers. I mean how to restrict the data, when report is pulling from essbase so that it pulls only top 50 customer accounts.
Please help.

The Top/Bottom functionality is available via the right click Analysis Tools option. To get to thisget out of design mode and view the report and then right click on the row/col that you want to perform the restriction on.
the Top/Bottom option is then available.
Hope this helps

How to export data to an excel by preserving styles

Hi All,
I am trying to export data to an excel using ColdFusion. Below is my code.
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=dashboard.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">
<table width="200" border="1">
<tr>
    <td width="40"> </td>
    <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="40"> </td>
   <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
When I try to execute above code by commenting <cfheader><cfcontent> then the output is perfect. styles are preserved. And when I uncomment <cfheader><cfcontent> and execute code, then an excel file will get open. But all the styles are lost. So how to preserve all styles(table width etc.) in excel.
Can anybody please assist me on this. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoz.

I copied your code and did the test. Result: no problem.
However, I used the following table data in my test. Did you use any data in yours? To fully test an HTML table, you have to put in some data.

<table width="200" border="1">
<tr>
    <td width="40">xxx</td>
    <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">AAA</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ccc</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">eee</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ggg</td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">&n b s p;</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ddd</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">fff</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">hhh</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="40">yyy</td>
   <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">111</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">333</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">555</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">&n b s p;</td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">222</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">444</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">666</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">888</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
Two other things to note. First, I have used &n b s p; for empty table-data. Secondly, though the MIME type you have used for excel might work, the correct value is application/vnd.ms-excel.

Export data to MS Excel in Adobe interactive form

Hello Experts,
I am using Webdynpro Java and ALCD 8.2. Can anyone help me out with functionality of Exporting adobe form data to excel file.
Thanks in advance,
Swami

Hi Swami,
When you say exporting data to a excel spread sheet.
Does that mean once the form is generated then user should able to export to excel, if so below is the link for that.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/709565?tstart=1
if its like for an interactive forms where user submits data the on submit event if you want to publish the form data to a spread sheet, I believ there should be a lot of posts on generating CSV files from ABAP code. this is also possible from WDJ provided if you have the respective jar files (on submit even, read data from the context, process to required format, call the excel API and write to it.)
If from ABAP handler the post from the other blogger here might help.
does this help, let me know if you are looking for something more specific.
Cheers,
Sai

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,
