User login records on Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi all,
We understand we can turn on audit to capture the user login (authentication) in Hyperion Planning. Can we have the same option/feature for Financial Reporting to turn on audit so that we know that which reports in one day was generated by end users?

I think so..take a look at what I found below on page 301 of the financial reporting user guide under the administrative tasks section, report server tasks subsection:
Log File Output Management
Financial Reporting uses the log4j logging mechanism to manage log file output. Logging
settings can be configured and are set in the fr_repserver.properties file for each Financial
Reporting server component.
This code is an example of Financial Reporting Server default settings in the
fr_repserver.properties file. Settings you might modify are shown in bold text.
# log4j.rootLogger=ERROR,dest1
# log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
# log4j.appender.dest1.ImmediateFlush=true
# log4j.appender.dest1.File=C:/hyperion/BIPlus/logs/FRReportSrv.log
# log4j.appender.dest1.Append=true
# log4j.appender.dest1.MaxFileSize=512KB
# log4j.appender.dest1.MaxBackupIndex=5

# log4j.appender.dest1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{MM-dd
HH:mm:ss} %-6p%c{1}\t%m%n
Note:
See fr_global.properties for details on logging levels (FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO,
DEBUG) and formatting options. The Financial Reporting logging settings can be changed
without restarting the servers. The .properties files are monitored for changes to the logging
setting every minute. The frequency is set in fr_global.properties. This can be very handy
if you want to set the logging levelThanks a lot! So the login/logout information will be captured in which log file?

Does User POV Supersedes Grid POV in Hyperion - Financial Reporting ver 9.3

In Hyperion Financial Reporting studio , under grid POV , for a perticular dimension we have selected a perticular member from the list.
Now on the User POV, for the same Dimension it is selected as "any member". Now when we open the FR report in PDF from the same user ID, in POV option we are able to view all members. It looks like User POV settings is superseding the grid POV.
Is there any way by which we can select grid POV to take control over user POV? or if it is possible that users will be able to view the report only based on grid POV?
Regards,

Have you selected any particular member in Grid POV. ? i.e selecting grid POV and doing member selection.
If you select any member in GRID POV then while running the report it will not ask value for that particular member in POV window. i.e it will always consider the by default member while running the report.

5200 : Error in executing query -- Hyperion Financial Reporting

Problem in accessing the Hyperion Financial Reports.User is having full access and able to access all the folders except one folder(Legal Folder reports). We are getting 5200: Error Executing the query error. Recently we have upgraded Hyperion to 11.1.1.3 version . Before upgrade user is not facing the problem. After Upgrade user is getting these errors while accessing the reports. we did research and found in "Error 5200: Error Executing Query" When Viewing Financial Reporting (FR) Reports". Is this error is relevant to the Information provided in Metalink and also can you please tell us is there any impact on doing the solution provided in the below. Why is this error is coming is any preferences needs to be changed.Please help us on this.
Error Description:
5200: Error executing query
Servername/ApplicationName/DatabaseName/Error(1007090) Unknown Member name [Current Point of view for years] in Outline Query
Doc ID 1107142.1:
Possible Cause 1:
If members have recently been added, moved, or deleted from the data source, Essbase, HFM, or Planning, the existing User POV records become out of sync.
The User Point of View record uses indexing to identify the member. If the index changes because of changes in the outline, the User Point of View record no longer points to the correct location in the outline.
To resolve the issue, you need to run the ManageUserPOV utility on a Windows server that has the Financial Reporting Reports Server, or in a Unix or Linux environment, has the Financial Reporting Print Server installed.
You will need to provide a BIPlus Global Administrator user ID and password to run the utility.
The utility will provide the correct syntax to run the command.
1. In \Hyperion\products\biplus\bin\ManageUserPOV.properties, specify the following parameters:
a. ReportServer
b. DatasourceUser
c. DatasourcePassword
d. User
e. Datasource (You can find the datasource in Workspace under Tools>Database Connection Manager in the Name column.)
2. From the command line, cd to Hyerion\products\biplus\bin
3. Type in "ManageUserPOV" without the quotes. The executable will read the parameters previously set in the ManageUserPOV.properties file.
Thanks,
Naresh.

Thread: In Hyperion Financial Reporting can we show comments entered in dat

Hi,
I want to show comments in Hyperion financial reports. The data form are against BSO cube and when users enter comments in it they want to see in reports which are against ASO.
Also, if you can help me if it is possible against same cube?

Hi,
I think we can't show it in ASO, but if we have a BSO cube then we have to connect our reports with the Planning data source instead of an Essbase data source and specify on the report to show supporting detail.
You have to do some settings in the FR_Global.properties which are:
AllowCellTextAsAnnotation=true, the Cell Text check box on the Report Property sheet is shown (for Financial Management and Planning, not Essbase yet). The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
AllowPlanningUnitAnnotationsAsAnnotations=true, the Planning Unit Annotations check box on the Report Property sheet is shown for Planning. The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
AllowDocAttachmentsAsAnnotations=true, the Document Attachments check box on the Report Property Sheet is shown for Financial Management. The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
Hope this helps.

Limit member selection based on access in running Hyperion Financial Report

Hi there
I am wondering, is it possible to limit the member selection in a prompt box based on what access they have when running a Hyperion Financial Report?
I know its possible to limit the user POV based on the members they have access to (in Preferences) but we have a reporting requirement on the page dimension to prompt the user for what cost centres they want to run the report for. When I used a prompt function the user gets to select any cost centre in the "choices" range regardless of whether they have access or not. We just want it to show what cost centres they have access to.
Thanks

If the datasource is ready only and not writeable for the users, then you can use MetaRead filters for cost centre, which will only show the hierarchies the users have access to.
(You cannot mix Write and MetaRead filters in the same filter, it would be Write and Read).
Let me know if that's an option.
Cheers, Iain

Hyperion Financia reporting ..Conditional Suppression

We have user POV as Scenario in financial reporting. User can select Current budget or Next budget as scenarios. If the selected budget is current, then report should display years in column as FY07, FY08, FY09, FY10, and FY11. If the selected budget is next, then report should display years in column as FY08, FY09, FY10,FY11,FY12. How do we achieve this in Hyperion Financial reporting 9.2? Thanks, Manohar Anchan 

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.It worked except for some formatting issue .I wanted every month to be in seperate column.As far as Current variable being set to Dec is concerned , I need to figure that out.Atlesat I got some lead to start with......... Thanks, Mnaohar Anchan

Hyperion Financial Reports books issue

I am trying to generate books using Hyperion Financial reporting in Excel. But, I do see only PDF or HTML options to create books. Is there any other way we can create HFR book in excel with separate tabs for dimenions members in the Page drop down? Please advise.

There isn't an option to create Hyperion Books in Excel, however you can create a Smart View report in Excel and use the cascade feature, which prompts the user to create the dimension to use (it must be in the POV).
This will create a tab per member selected for the report, it will even duplicate charts if you have created them in the base Excel report.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Iain

Hyperion Financial Reporting - Export to Excel converting Data to Text

We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.2.2 with Hyperion Workspace 11.1.2.2 reporting on an ASO Essbase cube version 11.1.2.2.
When we export a report to Excel any data values that are displayed in the report with a negative ('-', '()', etc.) sign come into Excel as a text value. The cell has the green flag and the single quote in it denoting this a text field. The format is listed as 'Custom'. Updating the format does not remove the single quote.
The same result is happening if we display the natural sign in the report or if we flip the sign in the report. This DOES NOT happen when choosing the export query ready, only when using the File -> Export -> Excel.
Does anyone know if there is a hot fix or service pack or configuration to resolve this? How about a work around?
I thought I remember this happening in 9.2 and being resolved in 9.3. We have recently upgraded from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 and the issue is happening again.
The users would like to export the formatted report to Excel and be able to interact with the data cells as numbers.

The issue is reported as a bug. Installing patch 14625370 (11.1.2.2.302) and/or 16088101 (11.1.2.2.303) should fix the problem.

Change formatting of table of contents in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi
We're using Hyperion Financial Reporting to generate carefully formatted books of reports. Users complain about the default table of contents in these books, specifically:
--> formatting: the basic text-only, portrait-only, formatting does not fit with the "look and feel" of reports within the books.
--> placement: the fact that it doesn't seem possible to place anywhere within a book, apart from as the first page (they like a title page to sit at the front of a book of reports).
--> content: having a limited options for defining the text identifying each item within the table of contents. For example, the same combination of dimension members appear for each item in the table of contents, so the first few items look something like:
Report1_Label
Dimension2_Label, Dimension1_Label, Dimension3_Label, Dimension4_Label ....................1
Report2_Label
Dimension3_Label, Dimension1_Label, Dimension4_Label, Dimension2_Label ....................2
I remember reading somewhere that it's possible to define custom table of contents. Has anyone had any experience of hacking this? Where can I find relevant documentation on defining custom table of contents?
Grateful if anyone has any advice.
Thanks
Nathan

Hi Nathan
I've never done this before but there is a section in the Financial Reporting Workspace Administrators Guide (chapter 5). However this involves accessing the css style sheets and in my experience this can have unwanted and unexpected effects in other areas. It does appear to be fairly well documented though in this case so perhaps it is more reliable in this instance.
It does specifically mention HTML format and not PDF format so if you are publishing to PDF it is worth checking the impact on that too. Take a look at the attached for version 11.1.2 but I'm fairly sure this was available in earlier versions too.

Hyperion Financial Reporting - Need Help

Hello Experts,
Currently I am working on to create new Financial reports in Financial Reporting Studio. I am very new to Reporting and trying to create new reports, was able to modify existing reports, but facing problems while creating new reports.
If anyone of you have any documents or reference guides, Could you please pass it to me so that i can go through it and familiar with Financial reporting. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance..... Please pass me to [email protected]
Regards,
Anil

The FR User guide is the first one I'd recommend:
- called "Studio User’s Guide" under the "Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition" heading.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/nav/portal_4.htm
This gives a basic overview to most tasks and some advanced ones too.
This assumes you're on the latest release, otherwise other docs can be found through here:

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

POV in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio and Workspace

Hi!
I have the following problem.
I create a report in Hyperion FinReporting Studio, choose required members in POV. Save report.
Then I open it in Workspace and sometimes my chosen POV crushed: sometimes there are no chosen members, sometimes there is a free space.
How can I fix it? (It's not acceptable to choose POV as a prompt all time). Is it a bug?
Thanks.
Natallia

Hi Natallia,
well first there are two type of POV in Hyperion financial reporting.
1. User POV
2. Grid POV
If you are never getting the USER POV in workspace then it may be that "Preview User Point of View" is off.
Just check it under FIle-->Preferences-->Financial Reporting in workspace.
If you want some default selection in your reports all the time, you should use Grid POV instead of USer POV.
Thanks and Regrads,
Rahul
