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,
Mohit Jain

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

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

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.
Cheers

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

Email Reports - Hyperion Web Analysis.

Hi All,
My client wants to view the reports in their black berry's.
can we email reports as attachment in Hyperion Web Analysis.
would appreciated prompt response.
thank you in advance.

It's not possible to email a WA report. An option is to recreate your report in IR and have it scheduled to email the result to the users.

Hyperion Planning - Link a web analysis report in a data form

Hi all,
is actually possible to link a web analysis report in a planning data form? I tried from a custom menu but discovered that isn't possible. Any other way?
I'm working with Planning 11.1.2.1
Thanks

Hi Raffounz
Indeed, it is possible to link a web analysis report in a planning custom menu.
Follow this procedure :
- From the explorer :
-> Go to the folder where your web analysis report is stored
-> Right click on the document and left click on "properties"
-> Copy the "smartCut" link
- From your planning application :
-> Edit the menu where you want to link your webanalysis report :
-> Create a URL item and past the link in the input field
Cheers

Not able to open web analysis reports after upgradation

we have upgraded Hyperion 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 version, after this process we are not able to open web analysis reports
These reports are still pointing to old servers so, how to edit this database connection details in the new version??
Edited by: 1007326 on May 22, 2013 3:29 AM

Hi,
Welcome to Forums...!
I think we need to change the database connection details in the Web analysis.
goto file --> Edit --> browse the database connection then change the server name in the connection details.
may be this will help to resolve your issue.

Web Analysis report is not coming with the border/logo/heading while print

Hi All,
I am using 9.3.1 version of hyperion planning were Web Analysis report is not coming with the border/logo/heading while printing with the option "print all object", Only the data grid is coming in the print. If I use "print screen" it is coming with border/logo/heading but it gives a screenshot of the report, that won't cater out need.
So please suggest us with a resolution to have border, logo and heading, while using Print all object.
Thanks with regards....

Hi Sagar,
In scripts when you will see print preview the logo will be not shown up with clarity.Take the print out of the document and check whether logo is printing up with clarity.
Thanks

Third Party Tool for Scheduling Web Analysis reports

Hello,
I am using Hyperion Web Analysis for report development and Workspace for viewing reports.
Now, I am facing an issue for scheduling WA reports through Workspace. Few experts told to me, we can't schedule a web Analysis document in workspace. But, scheduling is my urgent and important requirement.
Can anybody suggest me how can i go for scheduling?
Whether i need to go for third party scheduling tool? If yes, Then which one?
Thanks

WA is for online report only and does not support report delivery and scheduling. Convert your WA reports to IR. Since 9.3.1 IR connectivity to Essbase has been improved (see CubeQuery).

Q:- Migrating version 6 Web Analysis reports directly to version 11 ??

Trying to migrate version 6 Web Analysis reports directly to version 11.1.1.2 without first migrating to version 9, because of some time constraints.
Overall it works fine, except for some issue with PV (Personal Variables) in those reports.
The PVs are present in the version 6 xml export file, but somehow not being picked up in version 11.1.1.2 Web Analysis import.
Has anyone tried to migrate version 6 Web Analysis reports to version 11.1.1.2 and faced this kind of issue?
I am wondering if there is any change in the xml tags because of which the migration from 6 to 11 is not working.
Anyone has any thoughts or ideas to quickly migrate web Analysis reports from 6 to 11. There are hundreds of reports that need to be migrated.

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
