9.3.1 + Service Pack 2 or 3 (adds integration of HFM with the Hyperion Workspace + EPMA, not localized)

  • HFM version 9 and version 11x difference

    Hi Experts,
    What is the difference between version 9 and 11x version in HFM?
    regards
    Dev

    Workspace, other than U/I changes, looks pretty much the same to me at this point. (though I haven't used it a ton). I have a couple bugs I'm dealing with though, so it is a slight step in the wrong direction.
    Workspace / Financial Reports
    - 11.1.2.1, if I try to create a report book and then I add a report to it, an error pops up saying that you cannot add report books to a report book. The process completes ok, though....
    - Additionally, if POV Preview is off (it is by default), you will get a very unhelpful invalid ItemID message more likely than not. This used to happen in Sys 9 as well, except that the error message was more helpful.
    - In Sys 9 there is a side panel with items such as Full book in PDF, web preview, etc. This seems to be gone in 11.1.2.1
    - If I run a really big report book, it takes a long time; however, the little progress bar goes away quickly into the process. If you wait, the report(s) eventually show up, but any reasonable e3nd user is going to think that the system hung up.
    - Not only can you select POV items when running a report, but you can also pick the Database Connection you want to use at runtime. I've been DYING for this functionality. No more migrating a couple hundred and changing the connections when I need to test things in a Dev environment....
    FDM
    - Unmapped dimensions need to be mapped now. For instance, we don't use C1, C3, and ICP for most of our entities. Their import formats and mappings do not do anything with those dimensions. 9.3.1 (at least for us) automatically maps them to [None]/[ICP None]. This version doesn't do that. Fortunately, I'm good with SQL and I wrote a few queries to update all import formats and maps to add the necessary information.
    Smartview
    - Nothing to really say yet. Appears to work mostly the same, but we just do real basic stuff with Smartview.

  • HFM audit data export utility availability in version 11

    Hi Experts,
    We have a client who has a HFM environment where the audit & task logs grow very large very quickly.
    They need to be able to archive and clear the logs. They are too large for EPM Maestro to handle and they don't want to schedule them as a regular event.
    I am concerned because I am sure that these large log tables are impacting performance.
    They want to know if the old system 9 utility they used to use is still available in the latest version. It was called the HFM audit data export utility. Does anyone know?
    Thanks in advance and kind regards
    Jean

    I know this is a reasonably old post but I found it through Google. To help those in the future, this utility is available via Oracle Support. It is HFM Service Fix 11.1.1.2.05 but it is compatible up to 11.1.1.3.
    Here is the Oracle Support KB Article:
    *How To Extract the Data Audit and Task Audit records of an HFM application to a File [ID 1067055.1]*+
    Modified 23-MAR-2010 Type HOWTO Status PUBLISHED
    Applies to:
    Hyperion Financial Management - Version: 4.1.0.0.00 to 11.1.1.3.00 - Release: 4.1 to 11.1
    Information in this document applies to any platform.
    Goal
    Some system administrators of Financial Management desire a method to archive / extract the information from the DATA_AUDIT and TASK_AUDIT database tables of an HFM application before truncating those tables.
    Solution
    Oracle provides a stand alone utility called HFMAuditExtractUtilitiy.exe to accomplish this task. As well as extracting the records of the two log tables, the utility can also be used to truncate the tables at the same time.
    The utility comes with a Readme file which should be consulted for more detailed instructions on how it should be used.
    The latest version of the utility which is compatible with all versions of HFM up to 11.1.1.3 is available as Service Fix 11.1.1.2.05 (Oracle Patch 8439656).

    Has any one came across this issue that I am facing now?
    I have a form in HFM and I exported the form to Excel and the export works fine. but when I import the excel template into form, it was not successful. I have 250 rows in the template. I deleted 50 rows and tried to import and it worked fine . Is there any row limit on this?
    Below here is the error message that I am getting

    Please throw some light on it.

    you didn't specify the version of HFM. I am assuming you are talking about a 9.3.x or 11.1.1.x release.
    In HFM 9.3.0 and 9.3.1 and above, there is no direct link to HFM web. You must login to the BI+ Workspace and use the "Navigate"->"Applications"-"Consolidation" menus to launch HFM.
    This is unlike Planning where there is still a direct link straight to planning.

  • HFM Report export to Excel changes cell category

    Greetings,
    we just updgrated to version 11.1.2.2 and are noticing some strange behavior coming out of an some HFM reports we are exporting to Excel.
    We are trying to sum up some values and are getting #VALUE!. We have to manually change the category settings of all columns in order to enable any Excel formulas. This occurs when values are "-".
    We can manually change Excel to reflect the cells to be numbers but there are a lot of reports to change, and on top of this, the prior version of HFM/Reports did not display that issue.
    Pls let me know how to resolve this issue.. Many thanks.

    Issue is not with HFM, but with FR Studio and version 11.1.2.2.302. Patch is available.
    Patch # 16088101 -- FR 11.1.2.2.303

  • HFM 9.3.1 & IE8 on Windows 7

    We are in the initial stages of testing a possible deployment of Windows 7 to our end users and running into issues with our current version of HFM since Windows 7 will not allow you to run IE 7.
    We have tried using the Windows XP Mode, however that is painfully slow and the general process of having a second enviroment to work in will be a burden for the end users trying to complete tasks in HFM.
    Using IE 8, we have gotten farther than in prior versions, it appears that everything works with the big exception of the Reports, you are able to run one report, but then all of the tabs freeze and you need to close out of IE.
    Has anyone had any luck in getting this to work?
    Edited by: JAH on Jan 28, 2010 5:20 AM

    Not yet. There is expected to be a patch release (9.3.1.5) sometime in CY2010 based on what I have heard (though I expect it will be after the release of 11.1.2).
    There is a workaround posted at [http://www.metavero.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44:making-ie8-work-on-hyperion-11x&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50], but keep in mind this is not an Oracle supported solution.

  • HFM Smartview 7.2.1.1 with Excel 2007

    Hi,
    We are using the following Versions:
    Hyperion Smartview 7.2.1.1
    Hyperion Financial Management 4.0.1
    Microsoft Excel 2007
    When we try to retrive the data from Excel 2007 with 80 tabs, we are getting blank values around after 20 mins.
    Sometimes, we are getting the values and sometimes we are getting the blank values.
    Is there a compatibility issue between these versions of HFM with Office Excel 2007.
    Is there any way to get the values instead of blanks.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Hari

    Hi Hari,
    I am not completely certain, but have a good feeling that this is a compatibility issue. I just checked the Supported Platforms Matrices:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/hyperion-supported-platforms-085957.html
    The site doesn't have version 7 documentation, but the oldest version, 9.2., is not compatible with Office 2007. The earliest version that 9.2 is compatible with is Office 2003.
    I'd wait and see if you will get more responses here, but I'd also check with Oracle.
    Cheers,
    Mehmet

  • Adding additional dimensions in HFM

    Hi Experts,
    Need your advice.
    Present scenario: we have an HFM application which is pulling data from Peoplesoft transactional system. for the current application we have created 4 custom dimension and based on it all the mappings were done.
    Required:there is a requirement for adding additional custom dimension.
    i just want to know if it is possible to add additional custom dimension in the present application without affecting the previous data within the application.
    please advice the steps and the precautions to be taken.
    will such addition affect the previous period data?
    Thanks in advance.

    What version of HFM are you running?
    If you are at 11.1.2.2 (or higher I would imagine), then following link seems to provide some basic instructions on this process:
    http://blog.topdownconsulting.com/2015/01/adding-custom-dimensions-hfm/
    I would think about:
    (1) Is an additional dimension necessary - could you possibly split up an existing custom dimension (in the past, when only 4 custom dims were allowed, many times a dimension would serve dual purposes),
    (2) If you do decide to add a new dimension, this would be a major change that would effect all aspects of the application (data loading, reporting, historical data, consolidation rules, forms, grids, etc) - so, do you have a test system you could experiment with?  At the very least you would want to make a copy of the current app and convert the copy as a test,
    (3) probably you would want to do a thorough analysis of your consolidation rules before hand to see what the implications are of adding the new dim.

  • HFM Tables in Oracle

    Hi,
    I need extract data from Oracle Hyperion HFM application, but i can't identify in which table of HFM database will find this information.
    Could help me to find that table, or clarify if there is a table that integrates centralized information of all dimmensions in a single table, because the people who implemented this tool indicates that the information is in the "NameAplication_DATA", but that table does not exist.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    oracle do not reocmmend to attempt to build integrations to extract data direct from the HFM database schema.
    there are other tools to do this such as Essbase Analytics feature of HFM, Essbase Analytics Link(EAL) product, or ODI.
    the database schema of HFM is liable to change every new version of HFM that is released and is not published in any detail. do not try to pull data from the database directly.

  • Copying of Data through HFM Copy utility fails wit unspecified error

    All,
    We are receiving some strange error . Please help if you have any input to this.
    The error message shows :
    Error : Failed to copy all available data from table XYZ_DCE_1_2008 to table ABC_DCE_1_2008. This may be a driver or DBMS error. Please review driver and DB logs!
    Error : Processing aborted for table XYZ_DCE_1_2008. Reason: Unspecified error
    I need help to understand , what should be the root cause of this error ? What should be the fix for the same?
    Thanks,
    Laxmikant

    Laxmikanth,
    What version of HFM are you on? If you are on 11.1.1.3 and using a 64 bit HFMCopyUtlity, then there is a known bug/issue with that. It fails and you would get the DB errors. We also faced a similar issue and Oracle support recommended to use a 32 bit HFM CopyUtility from a 32 bit server.
    It works fine. Hiope this helps!!
    Thanks,

  • Disable Forced Smart View Upgrade for HFM Connections

    Our users are trying to validate data in a new development application and, when connecting to that application, are getting a message from Smart View that a new version is available. Is there a way to disable this message? Our development and production environments are both on the same version of HFM.
    I did see some options related to provider services in the help documentation, but when I follow the steps listed in the documentation, the option to access provider services is not available for HFM connections.
    I look forward to your responses!
    S

    I'm not sure what version of Smartview you are using, so your mileage may vary.
    Client Side:
    With 11.1.2.1+ - Near the bottom right of the Smarview window is an icon for 'Provider Services' which takes you to a screen with a checkbox to enable / disable telling the end user when a new version is available and allowing them to upgrade it.
    Server Side:
    I'm not sure what version it started with, but the version.XML file that exists with the smartview.exe for download w/ Workspace allows you to configure some of the parts for autodownloading the file.
    Additionally when you configure the HFM website using the HFM config tool, there is a checkbox (at least in System 9 versions) that would enable you to force end users to upgrade to the newest version. I don't believe it auto upgrades them; however, it prevents them from using Smartview which would ultimately get them to upgrade. :)
    If you need more specifics let me know, this is just off the top of my head.

  • HE 6 security settings with HFM 11?

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know if the security extract from an HE 6.4.1.1 system is compatible as-is to be loaded into HFM 11.1.2 using the "Load Application Security" function. I see this statement in the Admin Guide "Caution! You can only load security classes for Classic Financial Management applications." But I'm not sure if that's saying only security extracts from older versions of HFM can be loaded.
    Thanks!

    You cannot directly load a HE6.4 security extract into HFM in any version...
    The Load Application Security option allows you to load a flat file into HFM, then you must go to Shared Services and assign access control to the appropriate application.
    The caution disclaimer states that you will not be able to use the Load Application Security option if you are using Performance Management Architect.

  • How to create HFM extended analysis's dsn

    I have configure my DSN info in HFM server, but I still can't see any dsn in the HFM extend analysis. So...is there any other step to create HFM extended analysis's dsn? Thank you

    This depends on the version of HFM you use. In all cases you have to change the HFM server configuration, either by running the HFM Web and Server configuration utility in versions prior to 11.1, or in 11.1.x you must run the EPM Configurator and choose to reconfigure HFM on each HFM application server. In the dialog boxes you will see a field that allows for a DSN for extended analytics. Fill that in, and I think you have to restart the servers afterward. Once that's done successfully, you will see the DSN listed in the extended analytics menu from the web client.

  • HFM view who is currently logged in

    I'm an administrator in Hyperion version 11.1.2.2 which includes HFM. We're in the process of upgrading to it from version 9.3.3.
    In 11.1.2.2, How do I tell who is currently logged into an HFM application. In version 9 HFM, we would select Administration > Users in System from inside the HFM application and it would show who is logged in.

    In Workspace
    Navigate, Consolidation Administration
    Expand the System Tab,
    Select "users"
