Loading Reported Financial Data

Hi! All,
I am having a issue with upload file of reported financial data. Even thoughthe structure of file matches with that given in Flex upload, the system ignores all rows. A SAP note suggested to apply a patch and even after that the result is same. Any suggestions...
Secondly, Can anyone also suggest a way to show Inter unit eliminations in the system with minimal data.....
Thanks!
Arun

Hi Arun,
Welcome to SDN!
Could you please be more specific:
Is it SEM-BCS or EC-CS, which version?
Have you loaded master data yet?
What update mode do you use?
What a SAP note number you are referring to?
Do you get any errors?
What update log says?
Best regards,
Eugene

Error while loading Reported Financial Data from Data Stream

Hi Guys,
I'm facing the following error while loading Reported Financial Data from Data Stream:
Message no. UCD1003: Item "Blank" is not defined in Cons Chart of Accts 01
The message appears in Target Data. Item is not filled in almost 50% of the target data records and the error message appears.
Upon deeper analysis I found that Some Items are defined with Dr./Cr. sign of + and with no breakdown. When these items appear as negative (Cr.) in the Source Data, they are not properly loaded to the target data. Item is not filled up, hence causing the error.
For Example: Item "114190 - Prepayments" is defined with + Debit/Credit Sign. When it is posted as negative / Credit in the source data, it is not properly written to the target.
Should I need to define any breakdown category for these items? I think there's something wrong with the Item definitions OR I'm missing something....
I would highly appreciate your quick assistance in this.
Kind regards,
Amir

Loading Non-Financial Data in Essbase

I am new to Essbase and would some help understanding how I would load non-financial data into Essbase. The specific type of data that I'm looking to report on is from a university, reporting on the number of students that fall into various categories. I consider that this project would be similar to an employee reporting application. The project was originally implemented using OBIEE, but I was wondering how it could be done in Essbase.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

My recommendation is to model the database in excel with the following restrictions:
1) Use a single data grid (per sheet) with consistent "dimensions" for rows and columns, and an overall "header" to represent the entire set if more than one sheet is needed.
2) Establish subtotals and totals with any appropriate formulas kept as simple as possible (i.e. SUM(range)).
3) Use unique, meaningful names for all headers.
This is an oversimplification, but if you can model your database this way, you will have a direct baseplate to use when creating the database in Essbase. You may have to make some changes, but you'll have a good start.
A suggestion on the initial dimensionality based on what you said:
- Accounts
- Students
- Classes
- Categories
- Periods
If you can put a pivot table together with the data, you are nearly done already (well, mostly).

Flexible upload of Reported Financial Data with Dr/Cr Sign

Hi! All.
I want to upload the reported financial data of Cons. Unit with Dr./Cr. Signhowever, there is no field in
Flexible upload that Dr/Cr Sign can be mapped to. If I map Dr/Cr Sign to Free Field , the system does not recognize that (Dr/Cr Sign) field..Please advise.
Secondly, Does the Reptd. Financial data has to have signs for FS Items.why does not the system pick up the signs of the FS Items of Cons. Units from the FS Items defined in BCS??
Thanks for your input.
Victor

Hi Victor,
Do you know the concept of master and transaction data? -- As usually, you populate master data (attributes, like DR/Cr sign as in your case) first, and only then - the transaction data.
Load attributes of FS items through flexible upload or enter them manually.
After that the system will interpet incoming totals records according to the signs of the item and data.
Pay attention to the fact that not only item sign, but also a movement type sign might be interpreted by the system during a load.
Check if in your flexible upload method you checked the appropriate flags: take into account signs of item or MovType.
The interpretation is occurred as follows:
For example, your item has a negative sign and want to see in the totals negative amount. In this case the data record for this item should have a positive sign.
If the load method also takes into account a movement type sign, then loading data with 140 MoveType will result in + amount:
''(in data) * '-'(in item) * '-'(in MoveType) = ''.
However, with MoveType 120 you'll bring into the system the negative amnt:
''(in data) * '-'(in item) * ''(in MoveType) = '-'.
I'm assuming here that you set the appropriate (standard) signs for a MovType.
Best regards,
Eugene

Error loading report when data source changed

We are migrating our Crystal Reports from using XML files generated from our SAP R3 system to using a direct connection to SAP R3 (using the SAP Integration Kit).
The code is straightforward:
      crReport = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
      crReport.Load(reportPath);
...where the reportPath is just a string with the path and filename (e.g. "C:\reports\Report1.rpt").
This worked fine with the report when it had an XML data source. When we run the code with the new version of the report that connects to a data table on our SAP R3 we get the following error message:
Error in File Report1 {40205567-F890-4B3C-A103-C9C8F0A1E665}.rpt: Failed to logon to the Crystal Report Object Repository.
The report is not in an Object Repository, nor do we even have a Repository in place right now. The report can be run manually from Crystal Reports on the desktop without any kind of Repository.
Both versions of the report were built in Crystal Reports 2008.
Thanks,
Byron

I am not sure if connecting to SAP is any different than connecting to SQL, but we develop one report and then deploy to N number of client who all have their own SQL servers and server names.
Here is the code I use to alter the database connection at runtime:
connection.DatabaseName = _datebaseName;
                connection.ServerName = _serverName;
                if (_integratedSecurity)
                    connection.IntegratedSecurity = _integratedSecurity;
                else
                    connection.UserID = _userId;
                    connection.Password = _password;
                connection.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
                // First we assign the connection to all tables in the main report
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in _reportDocument.Database.Tables)
                    AssignTableConnection(table, connection);
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in _reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    // In each section we need to loop through all the reporting objects
                    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject subReport = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                            ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName);
                            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in subDocument.Database.Tables)
                                AssignTableConnection(table, connection);

How to load the data from informatica into bw & how to report the data

Hi friends,
how to load the data from informatica into bw & how to report the data
using cognos.(i.e how to access the data in sap bw using cognos 8 BI suite).
Thanks,
madhu.

Inorder to report BW data into Cognos you can extract data from using Open Hub to the DB table from which Cognos reads.
For BW informatic integration refer following docs:

What HFM Table contains the Hyperion Financial Reporting Modify Date

Does anyone know the name of the HFM table that contains the Hyperion Financial Reporting Modify Date field of a Report?
Thanks!
Edited by: user2609991 on Sep 1, 2009 8:49 AM

1. no "HFM Table" stores any information about Financial Reporting reports. Financial Reporting is part of the "BI+" / "Reporting and Analysis" product, so if there was any information to be found in a relational database, it would be in the BI+ schema not the HFM one.
2. Oracle / Hyperion do not support customers trying to build their own relational database integrations directly into product repositories. To interact with the BI+ product (e.g. to extract modified by dates of FR reports) you should read up on the API and write custom code using that API. More information can be found in the Developers Guide here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hs_developer.pdf and in the "javadoc" documentation that comes with the BI+ product.

Transaction or report to check changes to financial data

Is there any transaction or a standard report which helps me to check any changes to financial data. I require this for auditing purposes. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Naren

Again, do you want the changes done to the master data (GL Accounts) or transactions that effect the GL balance? For the master data changes you can check FS04, FSP4, and FSS4. For transactional data, you are basically looking at the documents that effect a particular GL account which in turn has its own change log. Yes, FB04 is the transaction for documents.
In general most of the changes are tracked using what are called change documents and this information is stored in CDHDR and CDPOS tables. You will have to figure out the OBJECT for your data and then you can read the changes from here. You can also use CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ function module. Take a look at other function modules within this function group.

Can Hyperion Load or integrate textual data (non Financial data)

Hi All
I have an issue on the integration , that my user has textual data (non numeric) and they want that data can be upload from the sourde data in to hyperion (currently they bought hyperion planning 11.1.2)
as far as i know we can entry textual data in to hyperion , and put a member database type in to "text", but
Is it possible to integrated (load) textual data in to hyperion (without entry or key in)?
if it is possible does anyone knows how to do it ?
thanks you

You can load Text data using Outline Load utility.
Create a load file with your text data
Value,Driver Member,Point-of-View,Data Load Cube Name
"Testing Text",Comments,"FY12,Forecast,BAS,E01_101_1110,Working,Local,Jan",Consol
"Text through Outline Load",Comments,"FY12,Forecast,BAS,E01_101_1110,Working,Local,Feb",Consoland run the utility

Historical Reporting of data under multiple hierarchy changes

We currently use Hyperion Planning and we change our entity hierarchy often. It is my understanding that in order to report on what the hierarchy "used" to look like versus the current hierarchy requires alternate hierarchies that represent those different points in time. Today we just report all data based on the new hierarchy. However, we are looking at some additional requirements where this could become an issue. Due to the likely significant changes in the hierarchy, we would not want to maintain different hierarchies for all of these changes.
My question is first, is this a correct understanding for Hyperion Planning?
I did see a power point someone posted online that did show that HFM was able to handle this type of requirement, is that correct? Are we able to add an attribute or rule that combines some type of date tag to when the child was under parent A versus when they rolled under parent B. I have looked through the HFM admin guide and users guide online, but didn't see anything that addressed this specific issue. I watched a few tutorials online as well and didn't see anything that seemed to answer my question.
Thanks.

Hi user10086086,
It is true that in order to maintain historical rollups in Hyperion Planning you have to maintain historical heirarchies or become cleaver at storing historical heirarchies for purposes of reproting back to past methods of reporting.
HFM does have the capability to store alternate entity hierarchies from one period to the next - when Organization by Period is enabled within HFM...
The most common entity restructuring is as follows (This is not to say the only type - there are many other types):
Using the Manage Ownersip module within HFM
• An entity is set to be inactive under it's first parent, the balances are frozen for that period (under the first parent), the entity is “recreated” with same name (under a new parent) and “new” balances will be loaded under the new parent for the next and all subsequent periods
By using the same entity with the OrgByPeriod feature within HFM and setting dates for its association with a particular parent with the 'Manage Ownership module' it becomes possible to have alternate entity heirarchies for different periods.
In order to advise on the most appropriate approach it would be necessary to confirm some key points on the requirement; such as, consolidation and translation methods used. Are the rules written to effectively handle opening, closing, movements in an OrgbyPeriod structure? Are there specialized rules/calcs in place that would affect the use of the OrgbyPeriod option? ..etc.
To get an overview of the feature please checkout Oracle Hyperion Financial Management - Administrator's Guide at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hfm_admin.pdf
The following is and excerpt from the guide:
Chapter 4 Managing Metadata
Organization by Period - page 86
The organization by period functionality enables the most recent consolidation structure to coexist with past structures in the same application.
Organizational structures can change for many reasons, including acquisitions, disposals, mergers, and reorganizations. To support organizational changes, Financial Management uses a system account, Active, to reflect the active or inactive consolidation status of a child into its parent. The Active account acts as a filter of the entity hierarchy. The Active account is an intercompany account that stores data at the parent level and uses the ICP dimension to store information about children.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions regarding this post

Error in report generation-Load report failed

I have installed crystal reports for VS2005 runtime in my live environment.When i try to load the report file from a .Net page i am getting the error'Error in Report generation-Load report failed'.
This works fine in development and testing but when moved to production we are having issues.
I believe i have a workaround i.e i need to open the rpt in a VS 2005 environment and re-write the connection string again.This fix had worked in development and testing when we had the same issue.
But not sure if this is a known issue with crystal reports and if so do we have any hot fixes for the same.
Please help.

Hi Don,
The reason why i posted the item on 'data Connectivity issues' is because i suspect the problem is with the connection string.Though i had provided the correct connection string,re-writing the connection string with the same info might help to fix the issue with loading the report.
Does it mean that there is a problem in the connectivity?
I have a risk here that i cant re-write the connection string..i.e to open the RPT file in VS2005 and bind it.The production web server & database server sits in a third party environment and it is not in the company network.So i cant connect to this server to re-write from any other severs in the network.
Is there any fix which can applied to the server to get this issue resolved?
Cheers
Nithya.

Data Refresh Error: We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.

Hello,
Recently I have developed a PowerBI Report using Excel Workbook with external data source. It refreshes successfully for some days and then starts throwing error on every scheduled refresh as "We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data
Model."
The workaround solution is to restart the application server which has SQL Server Power Pivot Services Installed which will again work for some more days and again start throwing error.
So, I am looking for permanent fix for it.
Following are additional details about our SP Farm:
No. of front end servers: 2, Application servers:2, DB servers 2 with windows fail over cluster.
PowerPivot Server is installed and configured from App 2 server.

Crystal Reports with VS2005 - Load Report failed Error....

Post Author: rajeshvijayan
CA Forum: Older Products
Hi,
I am running Crystal Reports viewer on IIS6.0 and windows server 2003, which was installed using the redistributable package that comes along with Visual Studio 2005. We open these reports through a web based application 1 which is run on a different application pool on IIS. We have about 3 to 4 other web applications runing on the same IIS. All the other Web applications are working fine.
This web application 1 has 2 parts - one is the normal data display quiries from the back end SQL server 2005 and the other is the Crystal Reports which also quires data from SQL Server 2005. At times i find that these reports all of them throw an error - Load Report Failed. At the same time the Part 1 of this application does work fine in showing the data that is queried from the database. Moreover at this stage, I dont find any errors in the Event viewer. If i restart this application pool alone, the reports starts working fine again.
I had gone through a few of the news groups and have made all the necessary permission related changes like the TEMP Folder, ASP.NET temporary folder, the folder in which the crystal reports is placed etc but still the same error throws up after some point in time. Wanted to know if there is any special configuration required on the Application pool when it comes to Crystal Reports. We have bout 10 to 15 users using this application for testing and it only throws this error at times and not always.
Looking forward to any kind of solution from your side.
Regards
Rajesh

Yes I too have been fighting this problem. I was using a XML Data file and schema file for my u201Cdatabase templateu201D in the report. I would then run my query using the .NET SQLClient then fill the report with my dataset table using the SetDataSource method from the ReportDocument object.
I tried both embedded and runtime loaded reports all worked fine on my development machine but would NOT work on my production server. I use all the server installs, played with user rights, registering DLLu2019s still nothing. I went as far as creating a winform app to fix the problem. I then had exactly the same problem, I was catching the error and it originated from the viewer control in both winform and webforms.
What finally worked for me was to attach to the database using OLE DB instead of XML/schema (xml/xsd) datasource then pasting my SQL Query into the database connection command this gave me the fields to build the report. I actually used the u201CSet Database Locationu201D Dialog in Crystal Reports so I didnu2019t have to redesign my report. This dialog works very weird but I managed to figure it out. I then used an embedded report and all seem to be well. I think there is a problem with the Crystal Reports .NET Server Install and Merge Modules used with .NET with XML files, but I cannot be sure, all I know is this worked for me.
I am concerned that if my database server is moved or renamed my report might break because the server connection is embedded in the report, but for right now it is working. I thought that was the reason for using the xsd file was to eliminate the dependence on a server connection in the report.
Good luck and I hope this helps you fix your problem too. If it does please let me know I have see so many reports of people asking questions about this problem and it seems like most are left hanging.

Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

Hello,
I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer. I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013). The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server. This part works fine. I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server. Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
Unable to Refresh Report
A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
Please contact your server administrator. (me)
2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing. The loading bar goes away and nothing happens. It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Crystal Reports Load report failed

Hi all,
Using VS2008. Crystal Reports 2008.
I have a .net application which uses LINQ. I am required to integrate existing Crystal reports into the web site.
In my web config file i have my connection string set up
<add name="connection Name" connectionString="Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=database;uid=username;password=Password;Integrated Security=SSPI" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
and also I have set the authentication as follows:
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
<identity impersonate="true" userName="username" password="password"/>
I need the impersonation for when I deploy my app to the server.
The crystal report uses an existing connection set up when the report was created. So this is not tied to a LINQ table (i think this may be the problem).
I have no clue how to progress from here. When I try to change the datasource location to the LINQ table within the application, it won't map properly as the table contains nullable values.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Louise

Hi,
That particular problem with 'Load Report Failed' was happening because the identity impersonation account I had set up did not have rights to my TEMP folder on my machine. Crystal needs to be able to read and write to that folder.
I hope that helps you.
