User Missing Export Menu After Running Financial Report

I've got a user who has run a financial report in Workspace and wants to export it to Excel. Most of my users have the File-->Export-->Excel-->Fully Formatted Grids and Text option available, but this user does not. He appears to have all the same security settings as everyone else. Does anyone know what controls this capabilty and what is causing this user to not be able to see the Export menu? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

It could be a different version of IE. Is he/she has the same version of IE with the other users? I would also check his/her preferences and make sure he can export to Office 2002 and higher. I assume the version of the office you are using is newer than 2000.
To see/change the preferences, login to Workspace > Explpre > File > Preferences > Financial Reporting > General
Cheers,
Mehmet

RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE table empty after running the report in 11g

Hello,
I set up Job StatusRepository in our environment ( Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.4 Win 2008 x32) as explained in Oracle Support note "How to Setup jobStatusRepository Feature in Reports 11g? [ID 858200.1]"
The table RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE is always empty after running the report.
I have checked another note "RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE table is empty [ID 1200613.1]" but the user who is running the report is the same as the user who " the user name where you run $ORACLE_HOME\reports\admin\sql\rw_server.sql script" so there is no grant problem to write to this table.
Here is the excerpt of rwserver.conf file:
<demo:jobStatusRepository class="oracle.reports.server.JobRepositoryDB">
<demo:property value="csf:reports:repo" name="dbpassword"/>
<demo:property value="blvdev" name="dbconn"/>
<demo:property value="pdmain" name="dbuser"/>
</demo:jobStatusRepository>
I n log file there is an error:
Apr 11, 2012 10:29:13 AM oracle.security.jps.internal.credstore.ssp.CsfWalletManager openWallet
WARNING: Opening of wallet based credential store failed. Reason java.io.IOException: PKI-02002: Unable to open the wallet. Check password.
Have anybody had the same issue in 11g?
Thanks,
Alex

Here is the solution I found and I would like to share if anybody is interested :
Check the following Oracle Support Notes:
ALERT - After Applying Patchset 11.1.1.4, Fusion Middleware Control Inserts "demo:" Tags in Conf Files of Reports Server- ENVID Section Stops Working [ID 1298701.1]
     After applying patchset 11.1.1.4 to Reports Server, any configuration changes through Fusion Middleware Control inserts "demo:" tags in the beginning of each line in conf file of Report Server.
     The behaviour is described in the following bug :
     Bug:11784251 MBEAN BROWSER ADDS A DEMO TAG IN RWSERVER.CONF AT EACH LINE
So you I removed all demo tags in rwserver.conf
<jobStatusRepository class="oracle.reports.server.JobRepositoryDB">
<property value="csf:reports:jobrepo" name="dbpassword"/>
<property value="repteam.us.oracle.com" name="dbconn"/>
<property value="jobrep11g" name="dbuser"/>
</jobStatusRepository>
Regarding : PKI-02002 error:
Error PKI-02002: Unable to open the wallet. Check password When Starting a Reports Server [ID 1316651.1]
Temporary file cannot be created in temporary directory.
After checking the wallet I simply changed the following lines
     <variable id="TEMP" value="C:\Users\oracle\AppData\Local\Temp\2"/>
     <variable id="TMP" value="C:\Users\oracle\AppData\Local\Temp\2"/>
to
     <variable id="TEMP" value="C:\TEMP"/>
     <variable id="TMP" value="C:\TEMP"/>
because the folder C:\Users\oracle\AppData\Local\Temp\2 was not created.

Deleting Rows From A Table After Running a Report

I've created a report that inserts rows into a table on the asp page then calls a BI Publisher report to display the data. After running the report in BI Publisher I need to delete the rows from the table that had just been inserted. How is the best way to go about this in BI Publisher?

The best way I know of would be to use an "afterReport trigger".
An afterReport trigger fires after the XML output has been generated.

How do I create a GL responsibility to access multiple ledgers (error trying to run Financial report submission)

I created a new GL responsibility and used the same menu as an existing one but created a new data access set that has all the ledgers in it that we want to access.
I left the following profile options with no value. The reason being is this responsibility should not be tied to any org/ledger.
MO: Operating Unit
GL Ledger ID
GL Ledger Name
This all seems to be working fine except when the users try to access Financial Report Submission. The error that appears when trying to choose a ledger when running the report.
Error: Stale Data
The requested page contains stale data. This error could have been caused through the use of the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).
I have cleared the browser cache and cache was cleared by functional administrator. In this case it really doesn't seem to be anything to do with the browser's back button being used (I didn't use it) since I can make this error go away by setting the value for GL Ledger Name. But that is not what the users want since that will restrict them to a specific ledger but they should be able to run the report for any ledger.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

Hello,
for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
Sample Report Definition
...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
Problem is:
I would like to define for
Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
and for
Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row 2] in Report
any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
- but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
Formula:
Sum([1])

Essbase outline locked running Financial Report

Ok, this is a wierd one. We have experienced the Essbase outline getting locked by the user running a Hyperion Financial Report using HFR 9.3.1.0 and Essbase 9.3.1.3.5. The user is an admin, however the outline should not get locked - should it?
I searched for anything similar, but couldn't find anything and was wondering if anyone else has seen this?
many thanks
Rob Armstrong

We walked through each step checking for a lock on the outline and was not able to reproduce at all. This is what I did and had the other user do again:
1) make a new database connection - no lock
2) made a copy and changed an existing report to use the new connection - no lock
3) create a batch for the report - no lock
4) schedule the batch, which the first time forces a login for workspace and essbase - no lock
4) select a busrsting member list - no lock
5) run the batch - no lock
Also asked if anyone edited a report using the id and no one had. I also edited a report and tried several different modifications and could not force it to lock the outline.
Still a mystery, this has happened before and we unlocked and moved on. Same today, the user was still in workspace (or might have been timed out) after submitting the reports earlier today and the outline was still locked after the reports completed.
The only time the outline "should" be locked is when editing via EAS or dimension builds/restructures right? Things haven't changed much in the last 17 years of my using Essbase and this client does not do any fancy API or spreadsheet Add-in work.

Workspace Error Running Financial Reports Post HFM Metadata Change

We recently updated the metadata in HFM to use the Custom4 dimention. We are now trying to run reports from Workspace and get an error 5200 - error executing query. I have confirmed that the database connection in Workspace is ok. I am able to run the reports from the Financial Reporting Studio. Any ideas what's wrong when running from Workspace?

That error means that the report is trying to retrieve data from a member that either does not exist or is not valid. I have seen it happen when the user POV chooses [Year] for period.
I would start by trying to get the report to run from Report Studio where you can control the POV settings. If you still get the error, you will need to go through every data point in the report and verify that each member exists.

Oracle 9i export error after running catexp.sql file

After running catexp.sql file in oracle 9i 9.2.0.7.0 as system user,it gives the following error while logging
ORA-04020: deadlock detected while trying to lock object SYS.DBMS_STANDARD
please help me..............

"catexp.sql" is to be run by SYS AS SYSDBA.
You'd have to cleanup any extra objects that you created in the SYSTEM account.
Why did you think that you needed to run "catexp.sql" ? Are you exporting using 9i exp against a 10g database or against a 9i database ?

Export FR without using Financial Reporting Studio

Good morning.
Is that possible to get the reports designed at Financial Reporting Studio to import into another machine?
I'm asking this because I ain't able to access this machine anymore. So, did an other machine, but now, with a new database, with no reports =)
Thanks.
Cheers,
Rafael Marques

I know that there is a report migration tool as we used it when we went from 7.2.5 to 9.3.1. I'm not 100% if you can make use of it as a simple 'copy' tool (i.e. copying same software version reports from one server to the next or if it only works in a specific upgrade capacity); however, I would start on that route first.
I think the road block you will hit there; however, is that I think the environment would need to be up and running for this utility to work.
If that is the case, the manual route is ugly. As I've talked about in a prevoius post, reports (since system 9) are scattered in a couple different pieces. In the Workspace database, you will find information that ties a UUID (Unique Identifier) to a 'Friendly Name'. In the file system of your server running the RM web application, you will find the actual report files. The files / folders for the reports are not human friendly; therefore, you need the DB to fix the names. The other issue you have here is the database connection for the reports. When you create a database connection it also gets a generated Unique ID value which is stored in the reports. If that ID does not exist in the target system, you need to update all of the reports; otherwise, they will not work correctly.
If I HAD to do this manually (i.e. old workspace isn't operational so I can't export), here's what I would do ..........
------- WARNING ------------ I don't think anyone here is going to approve of this method and I really don't either, but ....................
"Old System" to "New System"
#1 - New System --> create your database connection(s), preferably with same name(s) as previous environment
#2 - Old --> Locate naming information in Workspace database tables (If you don't know where this is, find a previous post I put out on reports and the database where I explain this)
#3 - Old --> Locate the physical files / directories (See previous post on subject)
#4 - Old --> Find at least ONE report for EACH database connection used in the old system. Open the file(s) in notepad and locate the connection ID. (NOTE : Files are compressed so get something like 7zip to get into them)
#5 - New --> Open the Workspace database, locate the database connection information. For each connection you have created, update the ID to correspond to the ID found in the reports.
At this point, we have a couple of different options......
Option 1 - Create your own export archive
Now that you know where all of the old reports are and you know the proper naming of the reports, you can make your own export archive which you can then import into the new environment. The structure of the 7zip archive would be something like this
ReportExtract.7z
(null) Folder --> This would correspond to your Root folder in Workspace
My Report Folder 1 --> Your workspace stuff here
My Report Folder 2 --> Etc.
The import thing to recognize here is that when you first open the 7z file, you have to have that NULL folder; otherwise, this doesn't work. I'm not sure how to create such a null folder, so what I normally do is create an extract file using the Workspace Export option and then use 7zip to alter the archive to include what I really want ....
#1 - Old --> Fix names. Using the information from the workspace database write a quick script to traverse the file / folder structure and renaming all folders and files so that they have the friendly name.
#2 - Old --> For the files that were just renamed, uncompress them. This can be accomplished with a bat file script as well.
#3 - New --> Go to File Export and choose the highest folder you can and export all items. Save the file somewhere handy as you're going ot need this right away.
#4 - Old --> Open the archive with 7zip. You will see a folder with no name, double click on it. Now you should see the beginning of your report structure (if you have one on the new environment....)
#5 - Old --> Using windows explorer, DRAG and DROP the folders/files from steps #1/#2 into the 7zip window. 7zip will then add those folders/files to the report archive we created.
#6 New --> Login to workspace and select the File, Import option. Proceed to use the archive created previously. If everything is done correctly, the reports will pull in and you will be good to go at this point. (OTHER THAN SECURITY)
Option 2 - Manually Copy Files/Folders and Database entries
While in theory this is slightly quicker, I've never attempted so I won't say for fact this will work. I would probably only recommend trying this is the old and new machines are running the SAME version of software AND the new machine has nothing added to it yet.....
#1 - Locate RM1 service folder and copy all files/folders to new server's RM folder
#2 - Locate the old database tables related to report files/folders/permissions/data connections and copy data into new database tables.

How to replace #MISSING with 0 in Hyperion Financial Report

I am developing report in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio. The report shows #MISSING for no data and does not look nice. I want to replace #MISSING with 0 (Like I did in SmartVIEW). However, I could not find a way to do that in Financial Reporting Studio.
Thank you for any help in advance.

To replace no data (#MISSING) in cells, type a value in the No Data text box.

Infoview option missing from interface / Cant run webi report

Hello all
I recently installed XI 3.1 enterprise version on my computer and the installation was sucessful, I can access deski, designer and all other expect infoview (webi).
When I try to view sample webi report , I get a message that ' Cannot perform this operations; no valid license found (Error;INF)
Also when I try to open a new document and when I click on New, I dont even see an option for infoview.
My friend installed at the same time and on his computer it is working fine.
I am using windows 2003 server.
I know the licence is valid as it is running for my firend and all other like designer etc are working fine so it seems like it is not the product key issue.
I woull appreciate if you guys help me on this as I have tried to installed it atleast 6 times now.
Thanks

Is your problem that you can't access InfoView or is it that you can't access WebI reports from InfoView?
If InfoView is working OK but you can't access WebI reports, I would look at a couple of things.
1. In the CMC, go to License Keys
2. Make sure that your license key is a "Premium" key. If it's a "Professional" key then is sounds like you only have access to Deski.
3. Go back to the main screen in the CMC and click on Applications.
2. Then go to the properties for Web Intelligence.
3. Then go to User Security.
Make sure that your user ID has access to WebI.
