Smartview Adhoc Reports

After retrieving data from HFM using Smartview (11.1.1.3.00 Build 190), when I add excel formulas in the retrieve data columsn and rows, after refresh it goes away (doesn't retain) though I have checked "Use Excel Formatting" and "Preserve Formula on POV Change".
Anyone knows why this could be the case. SV admin guide clearly says can add excel formulas and formatting in and out side the grid.
Appreciate help.

Hi Mike - are you using MS office with SP3 or SP2 ?
Hi JTF85 - No i am not using data cells for the formulas. adding extra columns or rows (in the grid or outside the grid).
This behavior seems to be not happening on MS office with SP3.
Steps taken are - from the options click keep excel formatting and click on retain formulas on POV change. once data is retrieved, added columns and rows in the row and outside the grid.

Adhoc Reporting: Webanalysis vs Financial Reporting Studio

Hi,
Our client is using Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1 and currently the business users use Financial Reporting Studio for adhoc reporting. I am wondering if they can use Web Analysis to do this? Are there any performance issues if many users are using Webanalysis at the same time? Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind before advising the client?
Thanks and Regards,
Amol

Hi,
Web Analysis is definitely aimed more towards adhoc reporting, it is just general adhoc reporting you can also use the excel addin and smartview.
I take it you are already licensed to use web analysis ?
Performance well that all depends on the load that is going to be put on the server, specs of machines, amount of concurrent users etc

How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from cube to multi provider

How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from the basic cube to multi provider?
i created this multiprovider to do the maintenence on the basic cube. for example the infocube physical partition, line item dimension and compression.
what we decided to do is move all the Standard and ad-hoc reports from the basic cube to the multiprovider. How to do it? and make a copy of the basic cube and do the maintenence on the cube. please help.
Thanks in advance sdn experts!

Hi Les,
This sounds good and one thing we try to always keep in mind when undertaking such activities is to always minimise the impact to the user and make the process as transparent to them as possible. So lets say you have your multiprovider and copied queries up in Prod, these queries will still pick up the data from the base cube.
Now you need to make a copy of the base cube for some changes to the cube model, I would suggest that you copy the cube and make your changes on the copied cube itself. Then 9depending on the changes done) you can load data from Original Cube to New Cube. When this is being done, make sure that you change your queries to add a restriction on 0INFORPOV by Original Cube.
After the load to the new cube is complete you can run reports restricted to each cube to verify the numbers. Then change the 0INFOPROV restriction in the queries to point to the New Cube and disengage the old cube from the multiprovider.
Hope this helps...

How to create Adhoc Reports

Hi
I am new to BW Reporting. For my current project I need to develop both Adhoc Reports and standard Reports. I am familiar with creating a standard report in BEx query designer. However, I did not create Adhoc report before. Can anyone let me know the difference between a Adhoc Report and Standard Report and also procedure to create a Adhoc Report.
Thanks,
Padma

Query Views can be considered as Adhoc reporting .The one we create on the Query Designer is Standard Report.

Strange results in adhoc report??

Hi Experts,
I have made changes to adhoc report in development and assigned transaction code ex: zreport to adhoc query.I executed the report by transaction code and through sq01 i am getting same results still here it is fine.
In quality when i moved changes and executed report through sq01 it is showing changes what i made but when i execute the report through transaction code zreport i am not finding any changes.moreover title of report in output list(statistics) is also differnt when compared to tile of report in output list executed through sq01(deployment).
Again i compared the title of report in output list(statistics) executed through tcode zreport in qualityand title of report in output list executed throug tcode zreport in development(deployment).here also different
i felt that whatever changes i made to query report was different one when compared to report which i executed by transaction but when i checked queryreport name by going to sq01 -> menu option "query"->more functions->report name.but the report name which i found and tcode report name are both are same.
Please let me know where exactly mistake was happenedand tell me how to solve this issue.
Please correct me if i am going wrong.I am waiting for your precious reply.
Thanks&Regards,
narasimha.

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Not able to run adhoc report (2008) and send by email

Hello All,
I am trying to set up subscription on adhoc reports. I have already configured SMTP.
Whenever I create a subscription, it is getting saved but the status remains "New Subscription" for all the reports. and also not sending email for any error.
Can you please suggest for same?
Thanks in Advance

Sometimes, in special cases, the developers or other functional consultants do not understand the security concept, or they don't have one to use, or they have no faith in the one which they do have, anymore... at which point they create "check tables" in which the user ID's names of those authorized to run the report can be maintained via a view or other less sophisticated approaches. This is sometimes also the reason why they claim that they cannot perform their work in production systems without SAP_ALL.
This is less primitive than hard coding the user names into the report itself... which was the era before the check table approach, before they realized that they had to maintain the report code itself all the time. This is sometimes also the reason why they claim that they cannot perform their work in production systems without developer keys for them.
If my above rant is the explanation for this strange behaviour, then you will most likely find it by scanning the report code for use of the system field "SY-UNAME".
(Use the binoculars or report RPT_SCAN_SOURCE - not sure of the exact spelling though).

How to give access to only 2-3 reports, but not AdHoc reporting

Hi Friends,
I have a special requirement as below:
New user will be created and he will only have access to some defined reports or folders. But he can't access any other features like AdHoc report and subject area.
Even its fine if there is no need to create any user and still he can access those reports some way.
It seems tricky, I'm not able to think how to do it.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sudipta
Edited by: Sudipta Gupta on Apr 18, 2011 6:18 PM

Hi Sudipta,
you can do this from 'Administration -> Manage Privileges'. At the top of the list there is a large section called 'Access'. You set the privleges for each component (incl. Ad-Hoc Reporting) from here. Click on the hyperlink for permissions next to each component. To explicitly deny access for a user or group you should use the permission 'No Access'.
For your 2-3 reports just add them to a special folder and again set the permissions for this folder specifically. You can set the permissions using 'Manage Catalog' or 'Administration -> Manage Presentation Catalog'.
Hope this helps.

Extracting Logical SQL of the adhoc reports

Hi,
I have an requirement, where I need to extract the logical SQL, of the adhoc reports. I tried using "Usage tracking", but that doesnt fit my requirement, as I need to write back the result set of the SQL queries in the database. I need to kind of automate the process of getting the logical queries from the user created reports and load it back to database. I canot use direct database request,as business users will not have this ability to use this request.
Can somebody help in ways of getting the logical SQL , apart from usage tracking, log file, or manage sessions.
Thanks
Alakananda

I am closing this, question, as I solved it by calling web services through a java program. Thanks

Try SSRS Ad Hoc Web Reporting. It is super easy to use and even a ten year old kid can create SSRS reports with it. You can also use it to create and modify SSRS reports from your mobile devices such as IPad, IPhone, Android Phone or Surface.
See this youtube on how easy SSRS reports can be creates.

You may try it yourself.

Add Columns to Adhoc Reports Layouts?

Are there any config or sql injections or translations to add additional columns to the custom layouts in the Adhoc Reports in RPT?
Specifically, would like to display Related Specs when running reports for Trade Specs.
Edited by: Trey on May 1, 2013 11:26 AM

You could probably technically add related items as a search result column in a ready report, but it isn't an out of the box available result column. So it will require some undocumented customization work. I don't think the results grid is the best location for this data due to performance implications and even UI display challenges. I think your best option would be to create a BI Publisher report. Your PLM4P license includes a free limited use license for BI Publisher. This would be a good topic to discuss during a dev to dev call.

Hi,
It may be difficult to provide a list of business scenarios across an enterprise where adhoc reports are used. However, In generic terms, adhoc reporting is used when your business users are not just information consumers, but are more of analysts having special reporting needs which are non-generic in nature, that BI teams can not provide pre-configured reports. (Typical scenarios where you have a global BW system and you want to let the local users create their local adhoc reports)
This, of course means, business users should have the requisite know-how to create reports and should be equipped with all relevant info( like authorizaions, rules for information dissemination etc.).
I always preferred creating queries at the most generic level and let the users create query views (instead of letting business users create adhoc reports).
Hope this helps.
