Unable to connect in Financial Reporting Studio

Hi,
I am trying to connect to Essbase from FR with the following database connection properties and am getting errors as follows.
Database connection Name - abcd (some name)
Type - Essbase
server - phani (this is the database server)
User ID - admin (this is the db user name)
password - password (this is the db password)
Application -
database - basic (this is the database name)
1) The first problem is when clicking on the icon next to Application text box, it displays the following error.
"Failed to connect to server"
I have also done the Stop_BIPlus.bat and Start_BIPlus.bat but still i am getting the same error. Can anyone of you kindly help me what should i do.

Hi,
If you haven't checked it might be worth checking that all of the necessary services are running, and there are a few! I have also experienced issues if services are not started in the correct order.
For Hyperion Financial Reporting (Studio or Workspace) the following order works for us:
1. BI+ Core Services
2. Workspace
3. Financial Reporting Java RMI
4. Financial Reporting Print Server
5. Financial Reporting Report Server
6. Financial Reporting Scheduler Server
7. Financial Reporting Web Server
We have always tended to manage services from the control panel (Windows OS) so I am afraid that I'm not sure how the above relates to your .bat options.
Hope that this helps

Unable To Login into Financial Reporting Studio & Workspace

I get the Error
Hyperion Report and Analysis Server is not running at localhost at 6800 Port.
I find all services running. I don't see any services called Core Services or BI Services. Not sure if this is the issue?
Which component has the Core Services or BI Services.
Any Help is Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi

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...

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 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.

Error while logging in to Financial report studio

Hi,
while logging in to Financial report studio i am getting this error
Could not connect to server : Server name
please make sure that the server is running as specified in the logon dialog(including port number if not default)
can any 1 help me in this ??????

for my response i will make the supposition you are trying to connect to an HFM data source to pull data for your reports, lets call it HFMCLUSTER.
in order for your reports studio to gain connectivity to the HFMCLUSTER data source, you will need to first install the HFM Client on the same machine, along with the ADM driver for connectivity. After it is installed, register the HFMCLUSTER using the Server and Web Configuration Utility (the only tab that will be available will be the Server/Cluster Registration)
You then enter the name of one of the servers, or the server, that is being used as the HFM server, the cluster name will then appear. Click the "Enable DCOM" button to the right, hit apply, and you're done.

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 -
APPLYING THE PATCH_
The section includes important information about applying this patch for Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition.
To apply this patch:
1. Shut down all services and servlet instances related to the Oracle Hyperion EPM Release 11.1.2.2.00 installation.
2. Uninstall the Financial Reporting Studio by going to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and then uninstall Financial Reporting Studio.*
3. On On the Financial Reporting server machines; Download and unzip the downloaded patch file, <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip, to the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directory (by default, Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/OPatch).
NOTE: <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip is the name that My Oracle Support assigns to this patch. When you download the file, a message indicates the file name.
4. On On the Financial Reporting server machines, from a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
5. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
Windows:
opatch.bat apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>
-jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware.
UNIX/Linux:
./opatch apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29 -invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware.
6. Delete the Financial Reporting precompiled jsp files located at: <ORACLE_HOME>\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\precompiled\hr
7. Restart Oracle Hyperion EPM services and servlets.
8. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.
“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.

JohnGoodwin wrote:
Uninstall the FR studio on any machines that it has been installed on, then once patched you can download the latest FR Studio from workspace and then install.
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 Client Installation Error

Hi,
today i tried to install Financial Reporting Studio on my own computer to access the data stored on a server landscape. After successfull installation, when I try to login I receive the following error message: You are not Authorized to use this Functionality. Please contact Administrator
Nevertheless, I am the admin so I need to contact myself. I tried a lot of things today and read a lot of threads, still no solution. I can run the Reporting Studio from any of my servers and use the URL http://webserver:19000 It works when run from any of the servers. But when I try it from the "outside" I always get the error above. I can access all other Hyperion Components from my computer, hence the environment is configured right to that extend.
Do you have any suggestions on this error?
Thank you very much,
Best Regards
Philipp
I run: Windows Vista
FinRep Studio: 11.1.0.2507

I have the same issue with 11.1.1.3 and Windows 7 which we recently installed.. Initially, Financial Reporting would not launch but after we did the steps mentioned below, we the studio opens and we can access our Repository. However, we get a 'Failed to connect to Server...' for each of our HFM and Essbase reports. Any ideas?
Thx,
Mike
We followed the below steps
manually copy the following folders and files from a working 32-bit Windows machine:
<HYPERION>\common\JRE (This is needed for Studio startup.)
<HYPERION>\common\ADM\9.5.0.0\Essbase (This is needed for data source connections.)
<HYPERION>\products\biplus\lib\fr_client.properties (This defines the FR Client Logging settings.)
<HYPERION>\products\biplus\lib\fr_global.properties (This is needed to define the default
RMI port (FR Studio will try to use 1099 otherwise) and the location of the fr_client.properties file (or else the FRClient.log file doesn't get created).)
Note that if the Java Runtime (<HYPERION>\common\JRE ) was missing after initial installation, it will be necessary to manually execute <HYPERION>\products\biplus\install\bin\HrRunAnt.cmd. This is a Windows batch file used to perform post-install configuration steps; it depends on the presence of the java Runtime.

Financial reporting studio compatibility

Hi,
We have two Hyperion projects( 1st team uses 11.1.1.3 and 2nd team uses 11.1.2.1) in the company . Now Financial reporting developer wants to create reports for both the projects using same FR studio. Please advice how to connect to Essbase 11.1.2.1 using Financial reporting studio 11.1.1.3 or vice versa.
We keep on getting following error :
"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator."
We also tried logging in as "admin" but still the same error.
Thanks

Hi
Normally I would say backward compatability woui ldbe more likely to work, i.e. connecting to 11.1.1.3 Essbase from the 11.1.2.1 FR but according to the supported platforms document that I have seen for v11.1.2.x the 11.1.2.1 FR release is only compatible with v9.3.3 and not 11.1.1.3.
Seems strange that it would work with 9.3.3 and not 11.1.1.3 but that is what it states.
Hope this helps
Stuart

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.

Expansions in Financial Reporting Studio

I am writing a report in Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.1.2 that is connected to Planning. I have chosen to retrieve "Children of COGS_Dir_Exp" and checked the "Allow Expansion" check box. When I run the report I can expand some of the children down to level 0 but not all of the children. I have not been able to determine what is causing the inconsistency. There doesn't seem to be a pattern of being able to expand "x" number of levels. Some are shared parents, some are shared level 0 members.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be causing this?
Thanks!

If a parent is a shared member, that shared member has no children and would not expand. For example:
Hierarchy 1
Parent 1
Child 1
Child 2
Parent 2
Child 1 (shared)
Child 2 (shared)
Child 3
Hierarchy 2
Parent 3
Child 3 (shared)
Child 4
Parent 2 (shared)
If your report uses children of Hierarchy 2, Parent 2 would not have children to which it could expand.
Hope that helps.

SSL error logging into Financial Reporting Studio

We are using Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1, patch 120. We terminate SSL at a load-balancing appliance, therefore, none of the Hyperion services have SSL enabled.
Users were able to log into Financial Reporting Studio (FRS) using https://servername:port successfully until we installed a new digital certificate in the virtual IP on the load-balancing appliance. Now when the users try to log into FRS, a SSL handshake error is written to the client log file. See below for full error.
We have restarted all Hyperion services and verified that browser access to the EPM environment is working using https. We also tried uninstalling the FRS client and reinstalling, but get the same error.
The original digital certificate was not imported on the Hyperion servers or client machines. The new digital certificate has not been imported either.
Oracle Support said that we need to create a keystore file on each client machine and import the new digital certificate.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or can explain why we would need to import the new cert on each client, when we never had to import the original cert on the client?
We also verified that if we revert back to the original cert on the load-balancer, the users can log into FRS.
Thanks,
Robin

Financial Reporting Studio and Windows 7

Anyone running Financial Reporting Studio 9.3.1 or a similar version on Windows 7? When I try to open a report I'm receiving an error: "Error connecting to database connection <database name>.
Thanks

The user (myself) does have access to the database since I can access from an XP and/ or 2003 server machine. I think it's related to Windows 7.
