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

Hyperion FR , Planning Details, Limit member selection based on access.

Hi There
I am working on a project
Version 11.1.2.2, FR connected with "Planning Details""
I want to limit POV "Entity" member selection based on access right and I don't want to set User POV one by one.
For ex:
US users don't need to see Canada users' entity.
I am looking for a solution or workaround that can be easy to manage and save time.
Highly appreciate and Thanks

You can actually set the default values in jconsole. jconsole can be started with FRConfig.cmd (normally under C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\biplus\bin).
Change the value of "com.hyperion.reporting.HRPrefs.filter_by_security" to true, this way, the the default values will be true for all users who haven't set it in user preference yet.
This will list only the members which the users has access.
I believe this is what you are looking for.

Can we tell who is running Hyperion Financial Reporting?

We are using Hyperion Workspace, Planning and Financial Reporting. We just wonder whether there is a report or summary that can be used to monitor the FR report usage i.e. we can understand who are running a FR report at what date/time. A audit report or summary statistics can serve the purpose.
Thanks in advance!

I was interested in this too but it appears for Financial reporting you can only record logins to the database.
In Workspace go to Navigate/Administer/Event Tracking
In Event tracking you can audit system logins, database logins, Interactive Reporting, SQR Reporting, Job execution
It appears there is not an option for financial reporting?
JTSThanks!

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.

Proxy error while running the financial report in workspace.

Hi,
We are using the Hyperion financial reporting 9.3.1 with Essbase as a data source.
While running a report in workspace, we are getting the 'Proxy error' meassage, which is following-
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
'<html><head>
<title>502 Proxy Error</title>
</head><body>
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid

Reason: Error reading from remote server
</body></html>"
Do anybody have any idea on this? Any help will be appriciated on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Hi Iain,
We are using Microsoft Internet explorer 6.0. I am not sure about the 'proxy' (As we don't have any proxy setting in Tool--> Internet options--> connection--> LAN setting). We are accessing the Workspace and FR studio via Citrix application. How can I check the proxy.
Also, I noticed one more point, Report has prompt for seleting 'Account hierarchy'.If we run the report only for one account hierarchy, report is returning the data but while running for multiple account hierarchy, it is throwing the 'Proxy error' as memtioned above.
Please help us on this.
Thank & Regards,
Mohit

Error while running the financial report in the workspace.

Hi,
Im getting the below error while running the financial report in the workspace in HTML mode.
*"Required application module reporting.HRRunDlg is not configured. Please contact your administrator".*
And im not able to login to the Hyperion Financial Reporting as well.. i get the below error
*"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator"*
Can someone let me know how to resolve this error.

You don't mention the version, what app server or web server you are using, etc.. That information might be helpful, but in general, you can try the following:
1. Make sure you have gone through the FR Web App deployment steps and verify the settings entered in the Config Tool.
2. For version 11.1.1.x and 9.3.1.x, try opening the report in FR Studio and running it via the FR Studio Print Preview (*bold*not*bold* Web Preview.) If the report runs/processes, then the back-end FR Services are functioning and the issue is confined to the web interface. Verify the FR Web App is up and listening on the designated port (8200, by default), check the FR Web App logs and the App Server (WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat, OAS) logs for errors/issues.
If the report fails to process in FR Studio Print Preview, then there is a problem with the FR Reporting Server Service. Check to make sure the service is up/functioning and check the FR Report Server logs for errors.
3. Test access to other FR functionality in workspace (ex: Files->Preferences->Financial Reporting or Explore->Tools->Database Connection Manager?) If these don't work, then try to connect to the following URLs:
http://workspaceServer:19000/hr/status.jsp
http://frWebAppServer:8200/hr/status.jsp
Note: The URLs above assume standard/default ports. You may need to adjust them for your environment.
If the first URL fails, but the second URL works, there is a problem with the HTTP redirect settings on the Web Server (Apache, IIS, etc.) Run through the Workspace deployment and make sure the Web Server Config settings point to the right ports/servers.

How to increase 255 column limit in hyperion financial reporting studio

How do I handle my Final SELECT based on a @ReportType Run Parameter

So I have multiple CTEs in my SQL...
WITH CTE_1 AS
(SELECT...)
CTE_2 AS
(SELECT...)
CTE_3 AS
(SELECT...)
My Final SELECT then will be based on my CTE drill-downs and the filtering will be based on the @ReportType that will be chosen within SSRS and Report Manager. How can I handle the varying portions of my FINAL SELECT based on @ReportType? Do I have to do
this via dynamic SQL? I know that dynamic SQL is frowned upon. So this is what I'm talking about...
SELECT ...
CASE WHEN @ReportType = 'Renewal People'
THEN INNER JOIN...
WHEN @ReportType = 'New People'
THEN NOT IN (SELECT...)
END
CASE WHEN @ReportType = 'Renewal People'
THEN WHERE...
WHEN @ReportType = 'New People'
THEN WHERE...
END

> I know that dynamic SQL is frowned upon.
That depends. I love (*) dynamic SQL for one thing:
http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/dynamicsql/
Second, there are many things you cannot in static SQL:
http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices2008/rebuild-all-indexes/
* First choice is static SQL always.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks , Harsha.M

Hi Harsha,
Have you ever been able to run this report successfully? If yes, I would restart Reporting and Analysis services and see if it'll solve the issue?
Also, is there any special characters such as !, &, % in the report? If yes, I would try to remove these and re-run the report.
Hope it helps.

Can I submit one process to run many Financial Reports at once?

I've been asked by one of our HFM customers, about ways to submit 50 FR reports by one command. Best of the process can also be schedulled.
There is a function called “Batch Reports for Scheduling”. This function can run and refresh a report (built with Financial Reporting) and create a pdf file into a specified target folder.
The problem with it, is that each report is schedule by a seperate “Batch Reports for Scheduling” function. Since the customer has lots of reports (more than 50), they need to submit them one by one, specify for each one it's parameters values (Year and Period) so it's a time consuming process.
The customer would like to find an option that will simplify the process by doing all refresh at the same time.
We are looking for a command line that we could use by a batch (by using .bat for example). We need those commands:
1. Connect to HFM
2. Launch “Batched Reports for Scheduling” with right parameter
3. Disconnect to HFM
I'd appreciate any idea that would help.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yoram

Hi Yoram
There is a command line utility that you can use to run Financial Reporting batches. It is called ScheduleBatch.cmd and can be found in the 'bin' directory under BIPlus (I can't be more specific as it depends which version of FR you are running).
Take a look at the help attached in the section Scheduler Command Line Interface under the Administrative Tasks for Financial Reporting
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/frameset.htm?launch.html]
These notes are labelled as v11 but this section equally applies to v9.3.1
I have not used this with HFM but I have uses a windows .bat file to launch multiple FR batches using this feature (against Essbase) and deliver reports to users out of working hours so that they are in their email inbox when they arrive at work.
Hope this helps

Php code limit a user based on access level

building site where users post items for sale
different levels of access
want to limit basic access level to 10 postings
use php/mysql and dreamweaver CS4
thanks for your help,
jim balthrop

sounds phenominal
Like Craigslist but you have to pay... sign me up!
If the activation method of the registration being sent to your email is this method then, as mentioned, it can be circumvented. And the IP address is an absolute fool-proof way to prevent multiple registration. That is of course without the consideration that the user may use a proxy server or otherwise cloak their IP address.
Think of it this way: what if you were only allowed to post 10 threads in the Adobe forums and after that you had to pay to get "many benefits besides unlimited posting" What do you think DWFAQ would do?
