Planning ADM driver with Financial Reporting

We are receiving a "Error: Error creating objectjava.lang.ClassNotFoundException" when trying to create a Planning Detail db connection through workspace and an "error setting CSS Support Information Driver" error when trying to do the same thing through Financial Reporting studio.
I think this has to do with the ADM driver, but the IT dept says they installed it. Any ideas? Or does anyone know a workaround that does not involve uninstalling?
Thanks@
Heather

Just check if Planning ADM drivers are installed on Reporting server. We also faced the same problem. All you can do is run Plannign executable on reporting server and choose custome installation option. Then choose onle ADM driver for installation. It solved our problem.

Reporting cell comments with Financial Reporting

Hi all,
Is there anyway to report comments attached to cells in "Planning data forms" with Financial reporting? Which function should I be using to do that?
I am using the 11.1.2.2 version.
Thanks.

I believe the functionality is <<CellText("GridName", Row, Column, Page)>> whcih retrieves planning cell comments.
The full FR studio guide is here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/fr_user_epm/frameset.htm?launch.html search for celltext and it will give you more detail.

Help creating a report with Financial Reporting Studio.

Hi,
Im new at Financial Reporting Studio so my question might be something very easy, for beginners.
Im trying to create a report with two columns where in each column there is the year dimension. In the first column there is the current POV for year, but in the second column I would like to set the prevoius year of the POV automatically, without using a prompt. Is there any function or way to do it?
Tanks foy yuour help!
Edu

Use the relative function.
The first column will be set to use the User POV.
For the second column... see the tab named "Functions". Select the function "RelativeMember". For the Member row - select User POV. For the offset enter -1... that will automatically select the prior year.

Security on Essbase with Financial Reporting

I am current working on some improvement of my financial reports on essbase, all running at 9.3.1.
I have some users that I have to setup the meta security on the essbase entity dimension. For example, a user is only able to see the entity East and all the divisions under East; but the same user is not allow even to see the meta-data for other regions, e.g. he/she does not even to know there are some South, Central regions at all. Meanwhile I have some financial reports which include all the regions in the row headers. I would like to user to be able to open this reports and see their own region only, and the administrators can see all the regions.
However, currently when the user (with only East metadata and data security access) got some error message while he is trying to open the financial report (with all the regions listed in the row).
I wonder whether there is any solutions on that. I am thinking the following possibilities:
1. In 9.3.1, is it possible to have the essbase connection userid different from the financial reports userid? I have tried to modify the database connection in the workspace database connection manager, but however, when I check the essbase server log, while I am opening the FR, I still see the FR userid;
2. Any other options that is available in FR, e.g. suppress such kind of errors?
Please advise. Thanks in advance

Hello. Are you using Essbase for financial consolidation or just reporting?

Essbase UDAs with Financial Reporting

Hi All,
I am suggesting client to use Reports with Essbase and the application is built with extensive use of UDAs. My question was whether Reports can be easily designed using UDAs on Financial Reporting.
THanx in Advance
Cheers

Yes, Financial Reports can be designed around UDAs:
Under the Select members dialog Window, Click the Function tab, then add the Property function, here is where you select UDA.
For example, we use the following to restrict members: Children of Sales Group AND UDA = Group_B
We use more substitution variables in reports than UDAs, is there are particular problem you are looking to solve?

Shared Services Security Issue with Financial Reporting - 11.1.1.3

Hi,
So we have some users that are provisioned in some groups. Those groups have Essbase Server Access and Planner access to an application. That access is working great. They have access to the app and they have access via Smartview to the cube.
Now we need them to be able to see all the Financial Reports (FR) created for that application. There are so many provisioning choices under 'Reporting and Analysis', that I'm not sure how to get this done correctly. Right now we have to assign 'Viewer' access and 'Explorer' access under 'Content Manager' tree in order for this to happen. I just think this seems wrong. We just need the user to be able to run and view a report from Workspace.
Any help is appreciated as this is a very green area for me.

Hi,
You will need both Viewer and Explorer access for users to run reports.
the reason is that without the Explorer, users will not be able to see any reports or the explorer in Workspace.
Without Viewer, users will not be able to view/open any of the reports. You also have to give report access to users anyway related to the groups.
You can see anll information about different security roles for Reporting and Analysis in the shared Services admin guide.
The documentation is the best place to start for any information needed and confirming what fulfills your needs.
Cheers

PDF Error with Financial Reporting

When a user runs a report in Workspace it comes up fine, but when they try to do a PDF preview, we get an 500-Internal Server error. I think this is because the PDF writer was not installed or not installed correctly.
Is it possible to set this up after reports is up and functioning without reinstalling?

I am having the same issue
How was this error solved? Please help THanks.
How do I get to the Hyperion configuration utility and where is the HRCreatePrinters.exe file located?

Need help with financial reporting

Hi
I do have trend analysis report. In that I selected the line trend for different years and the months on x-axis. Here we are doing trend anaysis for employees in different years for all months. The issue is
we dont have data from current month onwards ofor this year . so in the report the data is showing missing so in the graph the line trend is falling to zero from this month. How to avoid the line trend falling to zero ..is there anyway that we can suppress that missing data so that the line trend wont fall to zero., the trend line must stop whereverr it is in the current month
Thanks

hi,
i think you can first suppress the missing data in the grid and then use that grid in creating graph. hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio "Failed to Connect to Server"

One of my report developers recently got a new laptop. Since then, she hasn't been able to open an existing report or create a new one. She can log into Financial Reporting Studio, but when trying to open an existing report or create a new report, she gets the error message "Failed to Connect to Server".
We've tested using her laptop and using mine. We are both fine on my laptop. We both have same issue on her laptop. Therefore, we don't think it's a security/credentials issue.
We've searched help documentation and other threads in this forum but haven't been able to find what we need.
We suspect that file(s) are missing or something wasn't configured properly during the new install. Maybe the Planning ADM Driver?? Our company's tech support hasn't been able to help. This is a new implementation, the consultants are gone, and our IT staff isn't up to speed yet.
Can anyone offer help as to what file/configuration could be the cause and exactly how to correct?
Thanks.

We had the same issue after installing the Financial Reporting Studio client.
If you run the batch script HRRunAnt.cmd in the directory C:\Hyperion\products\biplus\install\bin after installation this fixes the problem.

Does Financial Reporting Studio need to be uninstalled before patching?

Hi Guys,
Moving forward on my patch plan, I am stuck again, this time with the ambiguity in the documentation. I am trying to apply the Financial Reporting Patch 13997553. While going through the documentation, I found two ambiguous statements. In step2, the doc says that I need to uninstall the FR studio (Doesnt say on which machine I need to uninstall). Later in step9, it says, on FR studio Machines, uninstall the FR studio.
As per my assumption, in step2, I have to uninstall it from the Server and in Step9 I need to unistall it from my local machine. But the document never talked about re-installing the FR studio on server. What am I missing here?
Help appreciated. Thanks!
Here's part of readme which confused me -

You will find that it is installed by going to the start menu - Oracle - Financial Reporting StudioSo if i got you right,
-I need to uninstall the FR studio from all the machines (including the server).
-Apply the Patch.
-Install FR studio back again
And this whole process has nothing to do with Financial Reporting Web App.
Thanks!

Financial Reporting in 11.1.2.2 vs 9.3.3

We are moving from HFM with Financial Reporting 9.3.3 to version 11.1.2.2. One thing we've noticed is that when we first run a report in 11.1.2.2, it takes about 30 seconds for the report to prompt the user with the Point of View. After that, subsequent reports take about 5-10 seconds to arrive at the prompt.
If the user does not run any reports for another couple of hours, the first report will take a while and subsequent reports will be quick.
In 9.3.3, we did not have this situation. We did not have this disparity between the first report run and subsequent reports.
Is there some cache setting or other tweek that we could make ? or is this how it works in 11.1.2.2 and is something we'll have to get used to?
We are running SQL Server 2008 R2 on 64bit Windows for all server based applications. The servers have 16 GB.

You should review all installation guides, readmes, and the certification matrix before performing a Hyperion Installation and/or Upgrade.
Version 9.0 of Ghostscript is not supported, install ghostscript 8.6.3 - 32-bit.
From the 11.1.2.1 Certification Matrix: "Either: --Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0 --GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6"
From the 11.1.2.1 Installation Guide Page 110: "Ensure that a supported 32-bit version of Ghostscript is installed."

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
