Reports using Planning connection

Hi there,
Can someone please help with this problem :
We have reports connecting to Essbase using the Planning cubes and they work fine ... as soon as we change the connection to Planning (to see supporting detail) the report does not open ?
The error is :
1001:datasourceName=PLAN_Opex;errorMsg=Error: Error creating objectjava.lang.ClassNotFoundException;hasPovDims=1;povXML=<?xml version="1.0"?><datasources><datasource name="PLAN_Opex" dsid="-467c1daa_120ce0bcba8_3973" allowEdit="1"><dim name="Years" dimIndex="2" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Years" memberName="FY09" displayName="Years: FY09"/><dim name="Cost Centre" dimIndex="5" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Cost Centre" memberName="All Cost Centres" displayName="Cost Centre: All Cost Centres"/><dim name="Currency" dimIndex="6" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Currency" memberName="All Currencies" displayName="Currency: All Currencies"/><dim name="Currency Type" dimIndex="7" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Currency Type" memberName="EUR Book" displayName="Currency Type: EUR Book"/><dim name="Activity" dimIndex="8" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Activity" memberName="All Activities" displayName="Activity: All Activities"/><dim name="Band" dimIndex="9" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Band" memberName="All Bands" displayName="Band: All Bands"/><dim name="Country" dimIndex="10" dsName="PLAN_Opex" keyDimName="Country" memberName="All Countries" displayName="Country: All Countries"/></datasource></datasources>

Hi,
On your Reporting and Analysis server make sure you have a directory :- \Hyperion\common\ADM\Planning\9.3.1\lib
If you don't it means you have not run the planning adm set up on the Reporting and Analysis server, this is part of the custom installation of Planning.
If it does exist make sure the directory contains - PlanningSystemDB.properties
If it doesn't you can copy the file from your planning server, make sure you recycle services afterwards.
Cheers

Reporting on Attribute Dimension in HFR using Planning Connection

Hi,
We are using Planning/HFR version 11.1.2. We have one issue with Hyperion Financial Reports. For connecting to HFR we have used the Planning Database connection. Apart from Standard dimensions we have also got attribute dimensions in our application. When I go and develop a report in the FR Studio - in the Dimension Layout the Attribute dimensions are not displayed only the standard dimensions are available for report selection. We also want to report on the attribute dimension. Is there a way we can achieve that?
...We are aware that if we connect to FR using an Essbase connection the attribute dimensions show up on the Dimension layout but we have some text data to report at which essbase cannot handle.......
Any response on this would be highly appreciated
Alex

Hi Alex
That sounds like a bug, I have used attribute dimensions in reporting lots of times in earlier versions and I'm sure that some of those used planning rather than essbase connections. I've not read the documentation around the subject so can't be sure but it sounds pretty fundamental so I'd be surprised if not a bug.
Worth doing a bit of digging on Oracle support or in the readme files or even raising an SR if you have that option.

Ports Crystal Reports uses when Connecting to a Universe as a Data Source

I have a couple of Crystal Reports that use universes as a data source. On my Windows 7 machine I am getting an error message that "Logon Failed", rather opening and running the same report on my Windows XP machine, I get the results from the universe as expected. I have tried multiple universes that report against different databases (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, etc) and I am getting the same vague error message on my Windows 7 machine with Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601.
Can someone please tell me what ports are being used within Crystal Reports (other than 6400) when connecting to the CMS and pulling back data from a universe? The odd thing, is that I can connect to the CMS, see the universes that I have permissions too and even see the objects within the universe, but I cannot view the results. This is a pretty high priority for us, so I would appreciate any feedback possible.

Hello,
"Seems contrary to the concept of isolating users (in this case designers) from connection details. I can only be hopeful that report users will not also have to have connections configured on the local workstations to view these reports ;-)"
As long as you use/set Saved Data with the reports then they don't need the client installed. If they hit Refresh to update the data then obviously they need to be able to connect to the data source, how else are they going to get it.
Think about it, you sit down to write a report off of a database you don't have access to? How are you going to create a report....
If you planning on sending out reports for viewing only then export them to PDF or some other type, then DB connections are not an issue, the PDF's are for viewing only.
Another concept is DB Security. Using NT Authentication or DB Authentication unless that user hitting the refresh button has access to the DB it won't prompt for log on info or if they don't provide the correct log on info they can't see new data.
It's all about security, CR does not save the Password in the RPT file, if we did anyone could get it and hack your database.
Not sure what your post has to do with Ports?
If you have questions then please post, in this forum we assume post that are answered are closed.

Using Planning Connection, no Levels appear under List

Hi there,
When designing a report in FR Studio, I go to Select Members and click on Lists. All Generations are available but only Level-0 is available. I need to get Level 2 for this dimension. When I change the connection to Essbase, all Levels appear.
Has anyone encountered this before?

I filed a SR and apparently this is standard functionality using the Planning connection

Can not deploy a report using JDBC connection on CR2008 Server

Hi Group,
I have a report created with JDBC connection. When I tried to add it to CR2008 server, it gives an error - "An unexpected error has occurred ". Basically I want to add a report to a public folder via CMC. I am using adminstrator account.
Then I thought I need to add JDBC driver into CR2008 server. so I put oracle jdbc jar into CR2008 server classpath and add JDBC connection info into CRConfig.xml. but I still got the same error.
I also tried:
- Change the report to use native Oracle driver rather than JDBC. The deployment succeeded (but this is not what I want)
- Add a data source connection via Business View Manager, but no luck.
I know how to use/change jdbc connection with programtic way, but I just want to know if I want to use built-in components in CR2008 server without any coding the reports can be deployed and managed.
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

Hello Will,
Crystal Reports supports connections to JDBC/JNDI out of the box, and have done so for a while, whether stand-alone or published to Enterprise.
To specify where the server would search for the JDBC driver jar files, you'd change the classpath tag found in the CRConfig.xml file found on the machine where the Crystal Reports Page or Job Server is running.
For early Crystal Enterprise 10 and before, it used Java Native Interface (JNI) to start the Java process to retrieve the data from the JDBC connection.
For later Crystal Enterprise 10 and later, it starts off a "Java Server" process, and communicates to the Crystal Reports process via CORBA TCP/IP connection.
Commonissues that may arise: (1) CRConfig.xml not configured properly, (2) unable to start or communicate to the "Java Server" because of permissions or firewall.
Note that this is a separate connectivity map from using ADO or ADO.NET.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Issue with FR Planning Connection

Hi All,
We are using ASO Planning Application of version 11.1.2.3. We are unable to use Essbase connection for ASO Planning application and hence we are using Planning connection in FR. With this we are unable to see Hierarchies in Parent-Child Relation. When we trying to open a FR Report, it is displaying the members in a Flat hierarchy. Pls. help
Thanks,

Which version? It would be good idea to check the latest patchset readme released for the version and check if any known issues are fixed.

Dynamic Time Series with Planning connection?

Hi guys,
I have built some reports in HFR, with a connection to a Planning application (the architect requested so). But the only way to get the YTD function properly working is using an Essbase connection (I got an error with the Planning connection).
My question is: can reports with DTS function be built with a Planning connection? Version is 11.1.2.2.
Could you please help me?
Thanks!
Lu

Is the report showing any Planning specific content? supporting detail/ cell comments?
If not you can use an Essbase connection. However if you do so then the way metadata is presented is going to be different (if you use planning connection then the member level security will mimic what is in Planning).
You cannot use attributes with a planning connection too.

Crystal Reports - Oracle server connection

Hi Guys,
I'm back to struggling with Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
I'm trying to display a report that retrieves a set of data from an oracle database.
I've got the following scenarios:
- If I build a report using a JDBC connection and setting its properties from the crystal reports designer It works perfectly
- If i build the same report using a connection type called Oracle Server and check the option SAVE DATA WITH REPORT works fine
- The failure scenario is, creating the same report by using an Oracle server connection and disabling the SAVE DATA WITH REPORT option. I get the error message: Database logon failed. Database Vendor Error Code: 17002
I've set a JDNI datasource in Tomcat already, and still getting the same error, as well as including this tag in my application web.xml
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
<res-ref-name>oraclevt</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Please, let me know if you have any hint regarding this issue as I've run out of ideas to sort it out.
Thank you.
Esteban.

Hey evnafets how r u doing? Thanks very much for your reply.
I checked the TNSName and looks fine, and it does match the JNDI name I created through the Tomcat Administration Tool.
I tested the JNDI connection a couple of days ago and it didn't come through, it keeps giving me an error, even though I've verified everything is properly set and configured. The error message is:
org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
This is the snipped code, si quite simple actually.
System.out.println("Starting initial context");
               Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
               Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               DataSource ds = (DataSource)
               envCtx.lookup("jdbc/OFIC09FL");
               Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
               //... use this connection to access the database ...
               conn.close();
I've googled this issue and have not found a helpful solution. I guess this all the Crystal connection issue, don't you think? Any hints to make the jsp-jndi test work?
Regards,
Esteban.

Using Planning vs Essbase connection in financial reports

What are the pros/cons of using an essbase connection for financial reporting vs using a planning connection? we are on 9.2.1. using the Financial reporting studio client. These are basic financial reports-cost center expense reports, income statement, revenue analysis, etc.
I notice that when I use a planning connection, I cannot select any attribute dimensions in my financial report.
Also, are there any differences in the security used with a planning connection vs an essbase connection
Thanks
Jeff

-- "I notice that when I use a planning connection, I cannot select any attribute dimensions in my financial report."
you can select any attribute (see WorkSpace->File->Properties->Financial Reporting...)
-- "Also, are there any differences in the security used with a planning connection vs an essbase connection"
there are not big differences.
We use planning for most of our reports. If report is very big (many rows or lines) we use financial report.

Smartview 11.1.2.3 - Planning connection does not allow reporting off Attribute Dimensions

Hello
In Smart View version 11.1.2.3 one now has a 'Planning' connection to connect to planning
This is very handy as one can report text instead of numbers for comment fields and smart lists
However, Attribute dimensions are not visible to use in the Planning connection.
This is quite a big issue as customers extensively make use of 'Attribute dimensions ' in reporting
Has anybody been able to use Attribute dimensions when using the planning connection?
Berndt

Attributes are available on Essbase connections and unfortunately not Planning.

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?
Thanks and
regards,
Bhavesh

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks
SSP
Edited by: 960738 on Sep 22, 2012 9:13 PMDBLINK is 100% oblivious to the fact any port exists.
DBLINK only contains username, password & TNS Alias.
can you post actual SQL & results?

XML publisher report using connected query

dear all,
I defined some XMLP reports with very similiar parameters.
I found a strange issue, all reports using query as the source, they appear in the XMLP report viewer.
But for those using the connected query, all are not able to be found in the XMLP report viewer list.
Anybody has experience on this. Did I miss anything special for the connected query type?
Many thanks.

Is there anybody suffering the same issue?
I double checked the settings of two XMLP report definitions.
No difference, but the one with the connected query as the source can NOT been found.

Hi Shobha,
I can't confirm what version of PHP you are using, but to err on the side of caution please use the version specified in the sample/SDK:
PHP 5.4.14 has been installed from PHP.
