Problem about financial reporting studio(assign multiple db connection)

Hi,
I need to assign multiple database connections to a grid in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio
To do this, I performed the following steps:
- Open a report.
- In a grid, select one column for which I want to change the database connection.
- In the Column Properties sheet, click the Select Database Connection button, .
- In the Select a Database Connection dialog box, select a database connection from the Database Connection drop-down list, then Click OK.
- In the Map Dimensions Between... dialog box, map dimensions between the default database connection and the selected database connection. I do this by selecting a dimension from the pull-down list in the right column for each dimension in the left column.
- Optional: Select an alias table for the new database connection.
- Click OK.
But after last step I have received next error:
*; nested exception is:*
java.lang.NullPointerException
Can someone explain the source of this error?
And help me please solve this problem because I didn’t receive figures in that column where I changed database connection.
Thank you in advance!

I'm sure that both DB connections has the same dimension hierarchy. I can open the repot, but in it I don't see figures in that column where I've changed database connection...

  • Problems about financial reporting studio and planning

    Hi,all:
    Here are two problems:
    1. after i have installed the fr client in my pc,when i connect to the server,it promot an error infomation as follow:
    ; nested exception is:
         java.lang.NullPointerException
    and i can't open the fr interface and view the fr report
    2. When i create a new rule under business rules folder in Essbase Administration Servers,i select the outlin,but only the Essbase applications i can choose in the "avilable server",there is no Planning applications.
    Hope someone can give me a hand.
    Thanks very much.

    What's the version of Hyperion that you are using?
    For the first issue, if this is working in somebody else's pc, I would be suspected by your pc's security/java settings.
    For the second issue you mentioned below is possible answers:
    1. You can't write business rules against EPMA apps in AAS. Use calcmanager instead.
    2. Login to planning with your user name, launch a form, go back to AAS and try again.
    3. Make sure you've got access to write rules in AAS.

  • Financial Reporting Studio not allowing to connect to Essbase server

    Hi All,
    I have installed 11.1.2.2 HFR studio (32 bit installed via workspace) on my machine and After logging in the Studio,
    when I try to create the Essbase connection in it, it throws me following error:
    "Failed to Connect to server"
    "Error connecting to database connection connection_name: Error: Error getting CSS support information for driver [com.hyperion.ap.aps.Driver]"
    Any idea to solve this.
    I tried following , but this is also not helping:
    -- Run the batch script HRRunAnt.cmd in the directory "D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialReportingStudio\products\financialreporting\install\bin"
    after installation

    Hello Celvin,
    Thanks a lot for your reply to this post.
    Actually, We have foundation on One machine and Essbase on different machine.
    So we have installed (R&A) FR on machine where we have Foundation installed.
    Also my Essbase machine is having Two instances of Essbase running on it, one on 1423 port and other on 1424 port.
    My Environments:
    MACHINE 1: Foundation + FR (FR Studio throwing error while creating essbase connection to MACHINE 2, but works opk with VM Machine)
    MACHINE 2: Essbase (Two instances, one on 1423, other on 1424 port)
    VM Machine: Essbase + foundation + FR on same machine (FR Studio works fine here)
    Now, as per the suggested links,
    2nd option-->)
    we were not having the "admaps.jar" file on Foundation MACHINE 1
    . so I copied this file from my other working environment (VM Machine), but I am getting error: "Failed to connect to server" when I try to create an Essbase connection on FR Studio installed on same Foundation Machine 1 to any ESSBASE instance of MACHINE 2.
    So, I thought to try the below 1st option as well.
    1st option-->)
    I tried to set the registry values on foundation machine (FR installed), but very strang, we are not having any Folder in
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Hyperion Solutions\FinancialReporting0\HyS9FRReports"
    I really Don't know how?
    We have configued All the WEB in Single Managed Server on WEBLOGIC.
    Also, My working environment is on a 64 bit Vritual Machine from which I copied the "admaps.jar" file to my non-working  MACHINE 1.
    Also using the FR Studio on this non-working MACHINE 1
    , I am NOT able to connect to the Essbase server of VM environment (only one Essbase instance on 1423), also not able to any connect to any of the Essbase instance on port 1423/1424 of MACHINE 2 as well.
    Any other idea to get this resolved.?
    Again thanks for your time to this post.

  • 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 -

    “For WebSphere deployments, you must use EPM System Configurator to redeploy the Web application.”
    9. On the Financial Reporting Studio machines; Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
    10. Connect to the EPM Workspace machine that was patched in Step 3. Download the Financial Reporting Studio installer from the EPM Workspace menu: From the Tools menu, select Install and then select Financial Reporting Studio and then launch the installer. Follow the installation guide to install the Financial Reporting Studio to the location you want.
    11. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.

    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 Studio: Formula for percentages in Dynamic report

    Hi,
    I have a formula problem in Financial Reporting Studio vers. 9.20.582. I created a dynamic report with four columns:
    1. Column: Entities
    Entity A, Entity B
    2. Column: Accounts
    Account A, Account B, Account C
    3. Column A: Accounts
    Data for a selected period
    4. Column B: Formula
    Percentage Account B to Account A and Account C to Account A per each Entity
    My question is: Could I create a formula in 4th column that shows a percentage of Account B in comparison to Account A for each Entity (everything in one cell)?
    Because when I use for example the Formula Percentoftotal([a], [a,1(1)]) it shows for second entity B the wrong percentages.
    I hope this was understandable.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi
    Good question? I think, there is a solution.
    You can use the concept of multiple grid here.
    Please keep the referred grid at one place and use another grid where you want the formulas.

  • Financial Reporting Studio Problem...

    Hi John,
    that my Variance problem was solved with the help of the last post, I created one Report in Financial Reporting Studio. But when I want to Web Preview for the report in Workspace I get the following message-
    *5200: Error executing query: Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.com.hyperion.planning.olap.NoAvailableOlapConnectionsException*
    Then I thought of trying Print Preview which threw the same error.
    What needs to be done John?? I restarted all the services and Essabse as well. But nothing helped.
    Please advise.

    John. I am sorry to ask this, a different question. Actually I just faced a severe problem while trying that report issue. I give the details below-
    I created one group and assigned it only Dimension Editor and Application Creator roles. And further created one user and put it into that group.
    Next created one application(*TestApp*) in Workspace yesterday. Now as I faced the FR issue and according to you I created one application(*app*) in Workspace, this time with admin(as you told) and tried to create report and eventually failed which wrote in one but last post.
    Then according to your last reply I restarted the services and and entered the Workspace with the new user. But here comes the problem, I can't see my application that I had created under this user. All I could see is the application that I had created using admin(for trying the FR issue).
    I mean... I am very confused.... created one application with a new user, but it got replaced by an application that was created with admin, and with a different name.
    But I still can see the database in EAS and it is intact. And when right click on the TestApp and see the User/group access, I can see admin and that new user.
    John pls don't get angry... I know it's a different issue.
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Problem with Periods' point of view on Financial Reporting Studio

    Hy all,
    i have a problem on some reports: i fix Periods' Point of View on Financial Reporting Studio signing in with Admin user. I do this to let other users see just a part of the dimension structure on workspace,but when i open workspace signing in with a generic user i can't see any changing: user can see all elements of the dimension. Otherwise If i sign on workspace with admin user i can see the Periods'POV i have fixed on reporting studio previously. So do you have any idea on what i can do to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    Could u plz clarify your problem bit more.
    Are you facing a problem while running the reports through work space..? While running the reports, is affected generic user getting a POV window..? If you are concerning about hierarchy that you select through POV window then It might be possible that POV might have got corrupted for that generic user and in that case we can delete the POV and set up the new POV again for that user.

  • Financial Reporting Studio - Chart 2nd Axis Title

    I have a Financial Reporting Studio (9.3.1) report including a chart (combo) and have "checked" secondary axis and subsequently set a secondary axis title. Upon opening the report the secondary axis title does not show. The font color is black and the font angle is set to 0. Is this a bug or am I missing setting a property or something? If this is a bug is there a feasible workaround? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    This has turned out to be a rather obscure 'problem or feature'. Primary axis titles can include multiple words, single words or special characters and do not require single quotes around the title. Secondary axis title on the other hand require single quotes around the string whether it is a single word, multiple words or contains special characters. This is not contained in the Financial Reporting Studio documentation.

  • Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

    I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
    In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
    The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
    This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
    As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
    Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

    I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
    Here are two other thoughts:
    1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
    2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.

  • Reporting on shared members financial reporting studio

    We have multiple hierarchies in our entity dimension where the members are shared between hierarchies. Is there a way to create a report that shows the intersections of hierarchies. ie- hierarchy a has products 1, 2, 3,4. hierarchy b has products 1,2,5,6. I need a report that shows the intersection of the two hierarchies- products 1 and 2. this is using essbase in financial reporting studio.

  • Financial Reporting Studio crashes after we upgraded frm 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1

    Recently we upgraded Financial reporting studio from 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1.
    When we open FR studio and login to FR studio, FR studio crashes with error "Financial Reporting Studio has stopped working".
    Any pointers to the above issue is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have a same problem...
    I follow the topic....

  • Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin documentation?

    I'm very troubled with the way how Oracle sets up its website and naming. Sorry for venting a bit
    But it's absolutely frustrating when people stumble upon this section
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/overview/index.html
    and don't know where to look for a specific application.
    Anyway, my question is, where is Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin guide located? which section?
    I tried to google but no result.
    Thanks for reading.

    @Jeo123:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html
    The first link you listed doesn't include Financial Reporting Studio. That's exactly my problem. Most clients I work with have Essbase, Planning, EPMA, and FRS. These are the 4 basic components of Hyperion system.
    @RaulRodriguez:
    The reporting piece is under reporting and analysis:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_4.htm
    Thanks.....I actually found that on Google. But unfortunately, I'm on 11.1.2.1. And Oracle's site doesn't have a section set up for 11.1.2.1 like they do for 11.1.2.2. And the problem I have actually goes back to using "Usage Tracking" and setting up through BI+ server that you suggested last time. Since you said that certain method can only be done that way on 11.1.2.1, so I was looking for that doc. Otherwise, I could've used 11.1.2.2 instead.
    Bummer.

  • No sync between Financial Report Studio repository and planning

    Hi,
    I have a problem in Hyperion Planning 11.1.3 when I am trying to open reports that are either in Explorer or in a task list linked by a smartcut. An error (#2108) occured saying that the object I am trying to open is not in the repository. I am using Financial Report Studio 11.1.1.3. to create reports.
    Does anyone have an idea of why I am getting that error?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    This is a known issue and there is no solution yet as far as I'm aware. It happens when you open a report using different user names on the same PC.
    The solution is this, log off from workspace, clean internet explorer caches (including temp files). shut down internet explorer and try openning the report again from workspace.
    Obviously, you need to repeat this steps everytime you face the issue.
    Cheers,
    Alp

  • 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.

  • Financial Reporting Studio is not visible in Start Menu in EPM 11.1.2.2

    Hi
    i have installed EPM 11.1.2.2.0, i tried to login to Financial reporting studio and found that it was not installed. Then i manually installed Financial Reporting studio (V31859-01\FinancialReportingStudio\FinancialReportingStudio.exe). I did not receive any error, but i am not able to view Financial Reporting Studio listed in start menu. Where is Financial Reporting studio? how do i login?
    Thanks,
    Veeru

    The client and server have to be exactly the same version, it sometimes worth downloading FR studio from workspace to make sure you have the same version.
    Otherwise log into Oracle support and search for "you are not authorized to use this functionality", you will see lots of results which should help you resolve the problem.
    Cheers
