Strange security issue with reports in Web Analysis.

Hi All,
I am working on Hyperion System 9.3.1 and Reports are developed using Web Analysis. To develop the reports I followed the following sequence.
1) Developed the reports with admin rights on Web Analysis reports and Essbase cube.
2) Create a group with users in Shared services and assign the following roles Analyst, Data Editor,Data Source Publisher,Dynamic viewer,Explorer,Viewer rights in Hyperion System 9 BI+ level and calc access for the database at Analytic Server level.
3) Create a separate folder in Web Analysis studio and copy the WA reports there(say- reports).
4) At workspace level, I gave the access on folder and on report.
Now when I login as one of the member of the group I am unable to see the reports in the folder.
I can see the reports when I login as an admin.
Am I misssing anything or the security I gave is insufficient.
Waiting for your reply.

can you tell me what inherit permission you gave to make it work.
I have a folder having a view access only. whenever i make new reports as admin...i cant see my new reports untill i refresh the "apply permission to children" options gain.
But thats not what i m looking for...i want it come on its own when I create a report.

Change the data source connection of existing reports in web analysis

Hi
I have developed certain reports in web analysis 9.3.1, now I need to point these reports to a new cube with same layout. Can anyone let me know how to change this data source. There are lot many reports so it will take lot of time for me to recreate them.
Please suggest any good approach

You can edit the Database connection from Web Analysis. Perform the below tasks to edit the database connection..
1) Login to Web Analysis
2) Select the Database Connection which needs to be modified.
3) Right Click then Edit..
Hope this helps you..

Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
Any help would be appreciated

Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

Creatin crucial report in web analysis

Hi,Experts
Here is an interesting issue.we have Actual and Forecast data.
In generating the reports using web analysis for one crucial report.we have version number which is a memebr of version dimension.Based on the version number selected,it must show only the forecasted data and not the actuals data in the report.
How can we show to users in the web analysis reporting. Is there any approach to do at Cube level?
(Thing is that there should be a link between version and time)
Clear explenation: If we select particalar version number "v1003" ,the data must be displayed in the reports from current month to next 24 months,the before actuals must not be displayed.
Regards,
Vardhan..

Reports in Web Analysis most probably generate MDX queries which are sent to Essbase to fetch the results. I've never come across to something like MDX profiler for essbase as this could have been the only way to capture those queries.

The Top/Bottom functionality is available via the right click Analysis Tools option. To get to thisget out of design mode and view the report and then right click on the row/col that you want to perform the restriction on.
the Top/Bottom option is then available.

Security issues with connecting pdf to database

I have a pdf form that is being called from a webform as part
of a web application. The PDF has two dropdown lists that I was
populating from a SQL Server Database. I had created a special user
that had select access only to the tables for the dropdowns.
My question is are there any known security issues with
regard to allowing a pdf to connect to a database this way. The PDF
is being called from a secure connection but I don't know if
opening this database connection to populate these dropdowns
exposes a security hole of any sort. If it does, do you have a
solution to make this secure? I am asking because another developer
on the project brought up the issue of this design creating a
security risk and I haven't been able to find anything online
discussing it either way.
Thanks!

Hello Maureen,
Thanks for posting, but I'm not sure I see if your question
relates to Acrobat.com
Are you using any of the Acrobat.com Services as any part of
your workflow?
Thanks!

Privacy/Security Issue with Adobe Flash 10

Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but there is a
bizarre (if minor) privacy/security issue with Adobe Flash Player
10. I came across it while attempting to upload a file to Flickr.
Previous versions of AFP do not exhibit this problem.
Specifics: using Firefox 3.x, Vista.
The problem: When Flickr calls the "open file" dialogue in
Flash 10 (in order to upload files) via the "Upload Photos and
Videos" link, at the bottom of the dialogue, to the right of the
"File Name" box, sits a common UI element that brings up a dropdown
menu of what appear to be (or at least are supposed to be) recently
viewed or downloaded or accessed files. Actually I'm not sure how
Flash 10 compiles or accesses this list of files, but at any rate,
a list of files come up.
The problem is that, as far as I can tell, the list of files
that come up reference a long list of files, some that are very old
and that no longer exist, and that there is no way that I can find
to clear the list. This is a minor security/privacy issue, as
generally there should be a way to prevent a dialogue from
displaying a long list of past-accessed files by clearing a cache
somewhere or other -- imagine if it was impossible to clear the
history of a web browser, for example -- this would be considered a
pretty significant privacy issue. I have tried everything from
flushing the browser cache to uninstalling and reinstalling the
browser to uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash to using the
Flash Settings Manager to clear out the Flash saved sites to
turning off Vista indexing to clearing out Vista's Recent Items
list. None of these actions did anything to clear out this list of
files. I can find no references to these files anywhere when I use
Vista Search (with unindexed and system files searched as well),
and I can find no reference to the files anywhere in the registry
(I checked just in case Flash 10 was storing this index in some
really bizarre place.) I've linked to a screenshot below of what
I'm talking about -- most of the files listed below were deleted a
long, long time ago, and so I have no idea why this dialogue refers
to them.
Screenshot
Is there a simple work-around for this that I'm unaware of?
Even if there is, there needs to be some more obvious way to clear
out this list. Where is this information being stored, and what
criteria does this list use to "put a file on the list"?

Thanks for putting me on the right scent. That's what I'd
originally thought, too -- it's just that the file-> open dialog
was giving an entirely different list of files with other
applications, so I assumed that it must be Flash that was the
culprit. Turns out the reason it was different with Flickr was
because it was restricting the file results via a long string of
video and picture filetypes that are compatible with the Flickr
service.
It turns out the information I'm looking for is buried deep
within the registry. The only way to clear out this list of files
is to delete the following key (or specific subkeys):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU
Seems more than a little stupid to store such information in
the registry if security is your concern. Vista beguiles me
sometimes.

Issue with report RBDMIDOC

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue with the report RBDMIDOC. When I run it to the message type MATMAS, it takes 8 or 9 seconds to send the IDoc. With the message type CLFMAS takes 3 seconds.
The duration of the execution of this report depends only of the access to the BDCP and BDCPS tables or is there any other factor that has influence on this time?
The BDCPS table has 300000 entries, and is well indexed.
What could I do to reduce this time?
Thanks and regards,
Manuel Míguez.

Hi,
The reports with 'Y' or 'Z' are not standard ones. You have to check with the person who developed this report. Ask to your ABAP team to help you.

Report in Web analysis

Hi,
I design some report in web analysis. Is it generate any query? If yes, from where can I get the query?

Reports in Web Analysis most probably generate MDX queries which are sent to Essbase to fetch the results. I've never come across to something like MDX profiler for essbase as this could have been the only way to capture those queries.

Issue with Report Layout

Hi All,
I am working on a report which display employee present or absent in the month. I have to display dynamic column as days varies as per month .
I am done with the report design/query part, using matrix report layout. Report executes and produce expected output too.

As this report consists maximum 33 columns (1 = employ name + 31=days in the month + 1=Total days present) I change Page Layout to Landscape.
When I select report output as "pdf" it generates report in Portrait Layout.
Could you please tell me how to fix this issue?

Report In Web Analysis Studio

I am new to web analysis studio. We have essbase application and want to create a report for Top 50 customers. When I am creating report in web analysis then I am able to see the mmember and able to design the layout. But I dont know where to give the Crirteria for top 50 customers. I mean how to restrict the data, when report is pulling from essbase so that it pulls only top 50 customer accounts.
Please help.

Severe Security Issue with Sharing Permissions and Windows

I recently discovered a severe Security issue with the windows sharing an permission settings:
I have two users, an admin user and a parental controlled user. On my mac mini, i have a external harddrive connected. On the harddrive, i have three folders, Itunes, Iphoto (Package) and a Temp Folder. I want to share the Harddrive RW for the admin, but only R for the parental user. But the Temp folder should be accessible for RW for the parental as well.
1. I set the Drive checkbox "ignore ownership" off.
2. I set the permissions of the drive to admin RW, parental R and Everyone to "no access"
3. I apply to enclosed Items
4. I set the permission of the Temp folder to admin RW, parental RW and Everyone to "no access"
5. I apply to enclosed Items
6. I go to "File Sharing" in the Preferences and activate SMB sharing for both users
7. I delete all previous shares
8. I add the Disk and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental R, Everyone "no access"
9. I add the Temp folder and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental RW, Everyone "no access" - Funny, there is a new Group called "Temp" created which has custom access on both sharepoints
10. I connect to the mac over a Windows machine (NTLM auth set appropriatly). Now I try to create a folder on the root of the Disk share, I get a denied message.
BUT WHEN I GO INTO A SUBFOLDER (eg. ITUNES or IPHOTO), WHICH HAS ALSO JUST "R" PERMISSION FOR THE PARENTAL USER, I AM ABLE TO RW, DELETE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!
TO RECAPITULATE: THE SHARING PERMISSIONS ARE "R", AND THE FILE PERMISSIONS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDERS FOR THE RESPECTIVE USER ARE ALSO JUST "R". BUT THE USER CAN DO EVERYTHING IN THE SUBFOLDERS!!!
