Two dimensions on column in Financial Reporting

I want to place year and period dimension in column in Financial Reporting Studio. But when I click "ok" after this placement it gives error "Runtime prompt". Does Financial Reporting Studio allow to use 2 dimensions in column?

Hi,
Oracle recommends to have only one dimensions in column as a best practice. Please check this KM from Oracle

Configure two JVM's for Planning, Financial Reporting etc

Hello Gurus,
Is there a way we can set 2 JVM's for Planning, Financial Reporting, etc as mentioned in the
Performance Tuning Guide for 11.1.2.1
https://blogs.oracle.com/pa/resource/Oracle_EPM_11_1_2_1_Tuning_Guide_v4.pdfunder the topic --
*2.3.1.2 One-JVM (64bit) vs. Two-JVMs (64bit) on 64bit OS*
If so how can I do it? Any documentation for the same?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
hyperionEPM

Hello Gurus,
Any updates??
I have gone through John Goodwin's blog for EPM 11.1.2.3 - http://john-goodwin.blogspot.in/2013/05/epm-11123-vertically-scaling-java-web.html

Selecting a column in Answers report based on user prompt/ apply filter

I need to do the following in OBIEE Answers report (version 10.1.3.4.1):
1) Think of a simple table with dim TX_type and some measures like month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
so the fact table looks like (column names) tx_type, month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
2) I need to select the measure column based on a user dashboard prompt, prompt populates a presentation variable var_month = jan or feb or mar
3) I need to select the correct measure (one of these month_jan, month_feb, month_mar) and then apply column filter based on the dim TX_type to split the values of these into multiple columns for report. So the report may look like (in Answers)
Sales , Tax, overheads
where Sales may be defined as sum(month_jan) where rows have TX_type = 'sales'
where Tax may be defined as sum(month_feb) where rows have TX_type = 'tax'
where overheads may be defined as sum(month_mar) where rows have TX_type = 'overheads'
IF the user selects jan
IF user selects Feb then the 3 report columns are based on month_feb and likewise for month_mar
I cannot use column selector option as the report column further apply filter in column filter definitions in Answers...
4) When I try to build the column filter using a presentation variable (var_month), the presentation variable is not getting populated in the column filter.
For e.g. IF var_month = 'jan'
THEN month_jan (let us assume the logical column name is month_jan too)
ELSE month_feb and so on...
However, the var_month always shows 0 in the IF clause. If we used a repository variable instead, it works fine. But since repostory variable cannot be changed on the fly (by user prompt) it is not usable.
We cannot change fact table defintion....and we have 12 measures column and about 8-10 different colum filter based report columns using this measure.

Hi shyamvaran,
have you thought about a SQL statement in the prompt, something like:
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Jan' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Feb' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Mar' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Apr' end
FROM "Subject Area"
etc...
Use this to give you the 12 values for your months then give the prompt column a presentation variable name and set a default value in the 'Default To'. Also set the same default value for the filter.
A couple of points:
1. If you're transforming the presentation variable from 'Jan' to 'month_jan' you may need to edit the syntax for the filter column (not using the dialog box).
2. If you're transforming the behaviour of a dimension / measure column in the report, have you specified the syntax correctly, e.g. sum('@{pres_var}')?
Hope this helps,
Justin

Financial Reports WIndows Service(s) missing?

I'm trying to install Oracle EPM version 11.1.2.1, and I'm pretty far along, but this seems weird. Everything is installed and configured, but I have no Windows service(s) for FR on the services tier server.
Looking at the startup order in the Installation and Configuration Guide, I see Financial Reporting Services listed just before Financial Reporting application server. I assume this is what used to be the 4 services on the services tier server that have been consolidated to 2, but I don't see any.
I double-checked the installer, and I have no check box under the 'Services' tier heading for FR, and no "Financial Reporting Services" item listed when I go into "choose individually." This seems wrong, but I'm not sure. I re-downloaded all 13 files from e-delivery that are flagged as necessary in the Readme. Still, nothing.
Print server is installed with the FR client, evidently? Is it not a server-side service anymore? Or is it now OK to install the FR client on the same machine that the server is on, which used to cause problems?
Thanks for your consideration,
-- Joe

Hi Joe,
Can you provide a link to the documentation you are reviewing and make sure it is for 11.1.2.1 version?
There are two services for FR - the Financial Reporting Web Service and the Financial Reporting Print Service. That is all that you should need.
For information on how to configure the print service check here,
http://epm-errors.blogspot.com/2012/01/configuring-financial-reporting-print.html
It is a server side component that they decided to bundle with the client installer... It's a bit strange to me.
Thanks
Nick

Sort Columns in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hello Experts,
Am a rookie in Hyperion Financial Reporting. I need to know how to carry out the following actions while developing the reports.
1) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to arrange the columns in an ascending order during view time when all the columns within the range are displayed in the report?
2) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to suppress selected columns within the range.

Hi,
probably there should not be any need of using substitution variable.
Use following functions: (assume you selected "Mar2008" )
Range from Apr2007 to Mar 2008
Now you have to derive the underline values.
Apr2007 ---> Use "Relative Member" function and offset the Current User POV by -12.
Mar2008 ----> Current User POV.
This way you will always get the last 12 months.
Hopefully this will solve your problem.

rahul

Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1 Page Dimension

I am using FR 11.1.2.1 and connected to Planning. When I selected two dimensions in the page and preview the reports, the two page dimensions will be "combined" in one page filter. For example, if I set up Year and Period in the page, it will be FY11-Jan, FY11-Feb...etc. Is there a way we can keep the two dimensions separated as two filters? Thank you.
Jerry

Hi Mehmet,
Thank you for your response. Sorry I forgot to mention that we were connecting to Planning, not Essbase. I recalled that this problem doesn't exist in the FR 9.1, but for some reasons it happened in FR 11.1.2. I will check the link you provided to see if there is any connection.
By the way, do you happen to know if it's possible to separate the page filters defined in the FR? For example, I would like to have Year and Period as two different filters, not combined as one showing FY12-Jan, FY12-Feb...etc. Thank you in advance!
Jerry

How to add two columns in OBIEE report?

Hi to All,
Can anyone tell me how to add two columns in OBIEE report and get that result in a new column?
Thanks in Advance,
Thenmozhi

Assume you already have two columns SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2, and you want to derive 3rd column say SalesAmt3 which would be the sum of SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2.
For this, as I mentioned above pull SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2 columns in Report. Now pull another column (say SalesAmt1) and open the fx. Clear the contents of fx. Now locate the columns button in the bottom of the fx. From Here, first select SalesAmt1 and + sign and the select SalesAmt2.
Now in this new column, the fx should look like SalesAmt1 + SalesAmt2.
Let me know if you are looking for something else.
Thanks

Report totals with dimension hierarchy column on pivot table incorrect

Hi,
I have a pivot table based report that has one dimension column, a dimension hierarchy column and various measures.
The row totals do not match, detail to total, and I have tried both complex server based aggregate and report based aggregation, but neither are giving me the correct answer.
I have also tried adding the column that is the same as the top level as the hierarchy, but hidden, but this does not help.
I have also tried adding the lowest level of detail column, but hidden, but this does not give me the solution I need as all of the figures then appear at detail not aggregated level.
Any ideas please?
thanks,
Robert.

Can you validate the query hitting to the database and compare the results?

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio - Page Axis Dimension Prompt

I have added two dimensions to my page axis of a report. I want to be able to prompt for members for both of these page dimensions. When I double click on "Page:" to be able to setup the prompt I am only able to prompt for one of the dimensions. I am not able to select the second dimension and then setup the prompt for that dimension too. Has anyone else seen this?

This is going to be trial and error on your part until you get the results.
1. If you un-check both fit-width and fit-length, is it going to two pages in width or lenght?
2. If is going second page in width wise, only check fit-width and keep un-check length.
3. Try the same for length.

MCSI report with two dimension

Hello
In MCSI, it is possible to get sales report according to a group of criterias and to drill down according to an other group of criterias. However it would be also convenient to to get a sales report with two dimensions instead of drilling down in order to analyze with Excel Pivot Table. Is there a way to create a specific structure or something to get it done?
Thanks
sb

Great thanks!
However the two dimension that can be used do come from the first drill down criterias list. However it seems not possible to select a dimension from the second lists with the matrix function. Is there a way to stil get it from the second list as well ?
thanks
sb

Financial Reporting: Suppress pages for large sparse dimension combinations

Hello,
I am trying to create a Financial Reporting report that shows only pages that are populated with data, but the dimensions that I have on the page are fairly large and very sparse. There are 8,000+ combinations of sparse members, only of which about 120 have data populated and those 120 are what I want to return on my report. I can't call out the page member combinations individually as new combinations appear regularly and I want to avoid running maintenance on the report definition each time the data in the cube is refreshed. My report isn't executing, so I suspect it is running for each of the 8,000+ combinations before determining whether or not it should render each particular page. Does this behavior sound right? If so, is there a workaround or some other trick to get Financial Reporting to test for the presence of populated combinations before rendering the pages?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob M
Synapse Group/Time, Inc.

You can achieve this by doing following:
1. Open report
2. Select grid (left top corner)
3. On 'Properties' window, select suppression
4. Select '#Missing' in 'Basic option' section.
Good luck & let me of the results.

Require two different Financial Reports for the Same Financial Year - 2011

Hi Experts,
The financial Year of the client is from jan-Dec.The client needs different financial reports (P&L , B/S), one from Jan-Aug and another from Sept-Dec for the FY 2011 since the management of the company has changed from Sept-2011 onwards. So when tried to generate the financial reports from Sept-Dec , system shows the carry forward opening balances of income and expenses from Aug 2011 which they do not want. Since we have not done any closing activities at the end of aug-2011 this figure is bound to come. So in this scenario is there any possibilities to get a fresh financial reports from Sept to Dec 2011 where there should not be any opening balances of expenses and incomes for Sept 2011.
Since transferring of balances from income and expenses to retained earnings accounts has done yearly basis , how can we do this for the periods also or any other method to sort out this issue.
Hope my question is clear. if not pls revert with the queries.
Thanks in Advance,
Arabinda

How to export and import Financial Reports between two servers

Cannot find the Export menu in Studio...
Please help.

Use Workspace to export Financial Reports in either single format as des files or multiple reports in a zip file.
When the export selection window opens use the CTRL key to highlight multiple FR reports for exporting into a single zip file.
I prefer this way for promoting reports to production.
