Use of Web Analysis

Hello Experts,
As per my knowledge web analysis is used for interactive reporting.
Please share with me if you have more information about web analysis.
thank you for your assistance.

Kumar

IR is for to create pivots, charts and dashboards.
Webanalysis is for adhoc reporting and also it'll supports drill through to relational and Traffic lighting.
Both are supports reporting from relational & multidimentional databases.

Dimension Header Sort not working in Web Analysis

The dimension header sort which is supposed to sort dimension members automatically as they are designed in the database outline doesn't work and instead any new dimension members are just added to the end of the list. There are four options from the shortcuts menu > Data Display > Dimension Header Sort : Default, Ascending, Descending, Level or Generation. None of these work or none of these reorganize the dimension members order. Does anybody know what could be the problem? We are using Hyperion Web Analysis Studio 9.3.1 running on Red Hat.
This is a big show stopper issue for our deployment because of the vast number of changes to the reports financial users have to do on daily basis they expect the hierachy based on the database outline in Essbase to be retained through any new member additions or changes.
Regards,
Livia

Hi Livia,
How are you pulling through the members - are you using Descendant of? (I know there is the Dynamic option for drop downs).
Web Analysis is very picky about the formatting and application of different formats in order they were last applied. Maybe try removing all formating to see if there is still an issue, then reapply.
There is also a known issue (SR3-992119231) with shared members only appearing in the first place in the hierarchy and not in any shared hierarchies - the SR indicated it would be fixed in the current version 11.1.x but there was no indication of a backfix to prior releases (9.3.1.x).
Cheers, Iain
Clarified comments on SR fix.

Third Party Tool for Scheduling Web Analysis reports

Hello,
I am using Hyperion Web Analysis for report development and Workspace for viewing reports.
Now, I am facing an issue for scheduling WA reports through Workspace. Few experts told to me, we can't schedule a web Analysis document in workspace. But, scheduling is my urgent and important requirement.
Can anybody suggest me how can i go for scheduling?
Whether i need to go for third party scheduling tool? If yes, Then which one?
Thanks

WA is for online report only and does not support report delivery and scheduling. Convert your WA reports to IR. Since 9.3.1 IR connectivity to Essbase has been improved (see CubeQuery).

Web Analysis, Smart View Bandwidth

Hi Guys,
I have the unusual urge do find out about the bandwidth that is actually used by web analysis or smart view when using it remotely off site.
Well, I guess its impossible to tell, depends on the data set.
Small (less than 10 rows, 10 columns)
Medium (less than 80 rows, 20 columns)
Large Medium (less than 160 rows, 30 columns)
Any suggestions or experiences to share ?
Thanks.

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
Thanks,
PVR

In a nut shell Hyperion Web Analysis is useful for reports having user drill downs. The end users will have the capability to drill down and select member from different Point of Views.
Financial Reports can be used for regulatory reporting and reports in standard format.
You can create reports in both Financial Reports and Web Analysis from Planning based on your requirement.
Please read the documentation for more information on the differences between the two products.

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports Pros and Cons

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
My Customer is asking the Merits and De merits of using both FR & Web Analysis tools for Hyperion Planning. Pls. help
Thanks,
PVR

Hi John,
I'm using FR extensively now and used Web Analysis before. We use FR for Good formatted Reports, where as Web Analysis we use for adhoc Reporting Purpose. users can do slicing/dicing, Drill down/up in Web Analysis Reports, where as this feature is not available completely in FR
We use FR for Planning right ? What is the main advantage of using FR over Planning ? I belive with Web Analysis over Planning may cause performance issues

Web Analysis and Planning smart lists

Hi,
Does anyone know whether Smart Lists can be used in Web Analysis reports?
I dont think this is possible since you can only connect to an Essbase data source in Web Analysis.
Thanks for your help.

Seb,
Did you figure this one out? I am trying to use Smart Lists in Web Analysis and cannot seem to create a planning connection.
Thanks,

Web Analysis Problem using the "Send to Excel" service

I built reports using WebAnalysis 9.3.0.
I attached the "Send to Excel" service button to my report. I am using a combination of Excel 2003 & 2007.
I have the following settings in my webanalysis.properties file:
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
My problem is when I try to use the "Send to Excel" button. For "small" reports Excel opens quickly with my report information. Small being around 1,000 rows and 20 columns. If I add more rows, say another 400 or so - Excel never opens with my report information. Web Analysis sits there for about 5 minutes or so and does nothing. After that I can start using WA again - but no report in Excel.
I get the same result by right clicking on the report in WA Studio and selecting "Export Data..."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe;C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
Where D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on the server where WA Studio is installed.
And C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on my laptop.
This did not correct my problem.
Am I using the ExcelPath=.... correctly?
I was not sure this would work since WA Studio successfully starts Excel for "smaller" reports. But I tried it anyway.
Any ideas?

Web Analysis Reports using a Relational Database

I would like to create a Web Analysis report using data from an Oracle database. From Web Analysis, I try to create a new database connection. I select Oracle as the Driver type. In the Database Connection String field, I replace {HOST-NAME} with the Host information from the TNSNAMES.ORA file. I've confirmed the Port number is correct. When I test the connection, it fails. What am I missing? The format of the Database Connection String that is defaulting into the field is:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@{HOST-NAME}:1521:ORCL
Is there anything else I need to include besides the Host name and Port number, for example, do I need to include the SID?
Thanks.

The ojdbc14.jar currently exists in the following directories:
bea\weblogic81\server\lib
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
There is a ojdbc14_g.jar that exists in:
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\10g
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
The classes12.jar file exists in:
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\oui\jlib
So from your response, I assume I need to copy classes12.jar to a directory under bea\weblogic81?
Thanks.

How to use one Combo Box to control Two spreadsheet/charts in Web Analysis

In Web Analysis panel, I have one data grid and one chart (two different data sources). I would like to have one combo box, e.g. Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, in the selection (drop-down). When I select Q1, I would like to show Jan, Feb, Mar, Q1 ( ICHILDREN(Q1)) in my chart, and also only Q1 in my data grid.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I believe you can do this. For example you want to have a Chart and Graph linked to a drop down for products. When you select a product, the two POV's will change on the reports.
Look at Panels in WA. I create a report with three panels. Make the first panel top aligned, the second top aligned and the third stretched. This should make the report "stretchy". Then add your dropdown to one panel and your reports to the other two panels.
Finally link the reports to dropdown using the re-linking technique mentioned in the previous post.
Hope this helps.

Problems using substitution variable in Web Analysis

Dear all,
I have a Web Analysis report that I need to show a raking table with the current month.
For that I create a variable in Essbase that is updated with that date (E.g.: varCurrentMonth).
After that I use it as my substitution variable to filter my date dimension in a report data source (E.g.: Scr5, row: product, column: date dimension & measure):
2008 (current month)
Product $ qty.
AAA 100 10
BBB 90 7
CCC 80 5
The problem is that in our cube we need to use an alias in every dimension not to have duplicate members (E.g.: DT.Date, MS.Measure, PD.Product, etc). And when we use it we need to set up the variable in Essbase using that alias (E.g.: DT.Feb/05/08). And if we use that variable as a substitution variable in the report data source the label displayed is the DT.2008 and not 2008 as expected.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve that?
Many thanks,
Thiago Gabriel

You usually get this error message if you are trying to assign a value from a sub var to a member that does not exist.
e.g. trying to put FY08 which is a year member against a period dimension
or trying to use a sub var of FY09 which does not yet exist in the essbase, so say you added a new year in planning FY09 and used the sub var in the form but have not refreshed the database then it would fail because the year would not have been pushed down to essbase yet.
or the value of the subvar does not match a member name exactly
or using a sub var name that does not exist in essbase, e.g. using &nextYear but the sub var has not been created in essbase.
You can definitely use subsitution variables in columns in the version you are using and prior version.
Cheers

Connecting to SQLserver 2005 via Web Analysis using a JDBC driver

We are currently working on a web analysis suite and have been trying to create a SQL spreadsheet data object.
After downloading and supposedly installing the sqljdbc.jar driver, we are having problems getting a connection to MS SQL server 2005.
We set the classpath to this driver in the operating system (Windows server 2003) but are unsure exactly how to set this classpath in Tomcat 5.0.28 as recommended by the help file. We have tried editing the catalina.bat and catalina.50.bat in the \Hyperion\common\appServers\Tomcat\5.0.28\bin folder to point to sqljdbc.jar, but to no avail.
So....does anyone have any experience on setting up the JDBC driver for MSSQLServer 2005 and making a connection in Web Analysis. Could you please give a step by step account of how this is done?

Hi,
In the past I have used two methods either updating the registry for the web application or by placing the jar file in the following directory
\Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\WebAnalysis\webapps\WebAnalysis\WEB-INF\lib
If you do place it in that directory you will need to restart the web analysis web server.
Then in web analysis studio go to file > new > database connection >Relational
Select Microsoft SQL Server
JDBC Driver
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Connection string
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<servername>:1433;DatabaseName=<dbname>;SelectMethod=cursor
Enter username/password
There is always the Merant SQL server connection that can be used as well.
Cheers

Using conditional formatting on negative values in Web Analysis 931

Hi All,
Can I please have your thoughts on the below:
We open a web analysis report in Analyze View.
The scenarios are in the columns and we are trying to apply conditional formatting on negative values.
We right click the scenario in the columns and click Formatting...
We then tick the Conditional Formatting check box and we want to add a condition on negative numbers.
However we can only enter positive values as the - sign is not accepted. This means we cannot apply conditional formatting on negative values.
Does anyone know how this can be done? Am I missing the obvious?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Gotcha. Ok. Have you thought about creating a new hidden calculated ColumnB whereby you multiply the values in ColumnA by -1 and then set your formatting based on the result in ColumnB. If the value in B is positive then you know A was a negative number so you can go from there, in a round about way? I don't have time at the moment to think it all the way out but something to think about. If your formatting involves just colors you could use Traffic Lighting to set the color on ColumnA based on result in ColumnB. Traffic Lighting out of the box is limited but it's a start until you have time to build your own.

Using Web Analysis to connect to FDM SQL tables

Hi,
I want to know if someone ever use Web Analysis to do reporting ion FDM? Instad of building report in FDM, we I would like to use Web Analysis.
Thanks

There really aren't restrictions on the method you expose as a web service. You can make JDBC calls into a database or call an EJB, etc.
