Web Analysis 931, apply shared preferences to a group of users

I want to assign prefrences to a group.
Provisioned a group (via HSS) to have access to BI+
Created a analyzer preference for a startup page for that group.
But the users in that group are not getting this new preference file in their profiles or the startup page.
I want to set a PRESET startup page for a group. Please advice the method or a document that I can refer.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi Jorn,
I don't know SDK so can't answer that part.
Regarding the other questions:
- As an alternative, is it possible to configure an inbox so it is shown as additional inbox in the InfoView of a user group? Something like a "shared group inbox"?
The answer is no. The Inboxes are associated to one account and you need to be logged in with that account to access it.
- As an alternative, is it possible to have a shared group folder and send the scheduled report there?
Outside of BO yes. You can schedule reports to a shared folder on your network. But not in BO. You can only create an instance where the original report is saved.
Another thing that might help you, would be to have a look at publications. You can schedule several reports at the same time and send them to different groups. It will save a lot of time compared to doing it for each report.

Philippe

  • 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.

  • Strange issue in opening Web Analysis document in workspace.

    Dear All,
    We are working on Hyperion system 9.3.1 and reports are developed using Web Analysis.
    We have completed report development and going to distribute to users.But we are getting very strange error message.
    We followed the following sequences-
    1) Developed the reports with admin rights on Web Analysis reports and Essbase cube.
    2) Create a user(say trainee) in Shared servicesand assigned the following roles Analyzer, Dynamic view, content publisher,explore rights and at essbase level- give the database access to user.
    3) create a separate folder in Web Analysis studio and copy the WA reports there(say- reports).
    4) At workspace level, We gave the access on folder and on report.
    5) Now when we logged as user trainee, we are able to see the reports but reports are not opened and get the following messages-
    [1033] Native:502 Invalid Object path specified,
    App\Avg_Pln\Cube\Pln1\Dim\Period
    Does we miss any point?
    Kindly help us on this as this is going to very critical to us.
    Thanks

    Not sure if this applies but there is a bug (fixed by patch 41) in v931 in which user session cookie info is not deleted - this could be causing the error if you are using the same browser - you will need to exit completely and clear cookies and cache. Then login as a new user.

  • Workspace and Web Analysis - null folder automatically created

    Hi.
    We have recently installed BI+ service pack 9.3.1.3. Since that, we have been experiencing problems on Workspace and Web Analysis: in particular, a null folder is automatically created as users login to Web Analysis Studio.
    Moreover, it is not possible to assign Web Analysis' shared preferences, because of that null folder. In fact, users' preferences always shows path to null folder: for example, Document Folder path points to /Users/null/Reports for every user logged in to Web Analysis Studio. By this way, it is not possible to save changes.
    Looking at BIPLUS repository, I noticed that in HYA_DB_PREFS table, there is a record containing NULL value for field USERNAME. I was wondering whether this record normally exist in the table or it could be related to the problem that we are experiencing. Does anyone have similar record in his installed BI+ environment?
    Thanks a lot in advance for help

    Hi Andrea
    Since the installation from service pack 9.3.1.3 we've new problems on Workspace and Web Analysis too.
    Null folder ist automaticall created as users login to Web Analysis Studio
    And it is not possible to save changes in Workspace Preferences, except I'm login as Administrator
    Have you found a solution?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Web Analysis-How to Point the Service Button in Report Dynamically

    Hello All,
    In Web Analysis, I have scenario like this :
    I have divided users in 3 groups : ALL, EMG, LSCA. I have created 3 start pages(*Start Page ALL, Start Page EMG, Start Page LSCA*) one for each user which shows and point to reports assigned to that user. I am able to assign start to each group thru shared services.
    In my each report, I am using service button e.g SB1 which points(links) to start page. Now, I have common reports for user group *(ALL & EMG)* and *(ALL & LSCA)*. If I login with ALL group, Start Page ALL appears and then i got enter to a report e.g. ReportA from start page ALL. In ReportA, I pointed the service button SB1 to start page(Start Page ALL). It works fine.
    Now my problem starts when i login thru User Group LSCA. When i login, Start Page LSCA appears and I go to same report *(ReportA)* that User Group ALL logged in earlier thru Start Page LSCA. In this report, Service button SB1 points to Start Page ALL but I want when i login wid User Group LSCA, service button SB1 should point to Start Page LSCA. Similarly for user group EMG.
    Plz suggest me how the same service button(SB1 in my case) in the same report should point to different start pages(dynamically) and it should depends upon User Group.
    Looking for reply soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks mark. I dont have the wsdl. At this moment we import our  request and response structures and all the data elements manually.
    i.e we generate xsds for all the data elements of request and response structures. then create them 1 by one in PI ESB and import the xsd's. Then create the message type and service (manually) and link all together.
    I would like to see an alternative path to do this. If we have some api's then may be we can create our own tool to import this into PI ESR.
    Hope you understand what I am looking for.

  • Problems in Limiting Export option in Web Analysis shortcut menu options

    Hi everyone,
    i'm trying to limit the shortcut menù option in Web Analysis studio following the instructions in the WA 9.3.1 user guide: "Limiting Web Analysis Studio Shortcut Menu Options" page 293. Exactly i would hyde the Export to some users (an user with Viewer and Expoler permissions).
    The problem is that the solution does not work.
    Resuming:
    First, I have created the WAMenu.xml file, with restrictions for the roles: Viewer and Explorer (using the same tags of the Sample XML File in the guide)
    Second, I have modified the WebAnalysis.properties file removing the # ahead this two lines:
    "WAStudioMenuControl= C:/Hyperion/Analyzer/conf/WAMenu.xml
    ModuleName=WebAnalysisStudio"
    and modified the path with the correct location of the XML file.
    At last, i have restart the services regarding Workspace and Web Analysis.
    But, it does not work. The user can still see the export options in the shortcut menu..I don't understand what is wrong..
    I really hope that someone can help me!!

    Hi Iain,
    thanks for answering.
    Unfortunately it doesn't restrict neither in the workspace nor in the WA studio.
    I made a lot of attempts, not only with export but also with other option, and there are no changes!!
    Do you remember if you made the same steps descripted above, or there is something that i did not make (or made wrong)??
    Cheers,
    Angelo

  • How to publish Web Analysis report to workspace?

    I have made few reports in Web Analysis and now i want to publish them to users in workspace. Can somebody guide me how can i do that?
    Edited by: ar_aff on Jan 25, 2011 2:39 AM

    Hi,
    You need not publish in workspace. Once you create the WA reports, you can automatically go and see the reports in workspace in the particular folder in which you have created the report. You can also run the reports in workspace.
    Thank.

  • Disable Save and Save As in Web Analysis

    I have some standard Web Analysis reports that I want to share amongst users. I've created a common folder in Workspace and saved the reports (each is just a simple grid) to the folder.
    If my users are provisioned as Viewers they can drill up and down on the grid but not navigate the dimensions (no pivoting).
    But, and this is the question, how do I stop Web Analysis from prompting them to save the report if they have drilled down? If the user does click on Save the file is not saved. The same goes for Save As -- the user can type anything he likes -- regardless of location (personal folder or originating folder) or name (same value or a different one) the file is not saved.
    Thanks,
    Cameron Lackpour

    Whoops, I forgot to add that this is Web Analysis 9.3.1

    Iain,
    Thank you for your answer -- that did the trick.
    Bizarrely (I use that word a lot wrt Web Analysis), I cannot see this setting for Viewer provisioned users but I can for users provisioned as Analysts/Report Designers. In my case that's fine as I need to move users to that level of provisioning to allow them to swap dimensions and save the reports to their custom folders when desired.
    Thanks again.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. Yes, having each user change it manually/separately is a pain but that can be addressed in training.

  • Viewing web analysis reports from workspace

    Hi,
    How do I publish web analysis report so it can be viewed from the user workspace?
    Currently I can see only financial reports.
    Thanks,
    G

    You should be able to see any of your Web Analysis studio created reports in the Workspace (in all of the System 9 versions). Can you as the report designer / admin not see them? Or just the end users? You will need to assign access for end users to be able to see any views.
    Thanks, Tracy

  • Error when opening workspace, web analysis and shared services

    Hi All,
    We installed hyperion 11.1.2, Essbase on a AIX server, with reports etc on a windows 2008 server. when logging onto workspace, web analysis and shared services i get the following error message:
    Error 404--Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

    The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
    If we re-start the server it sometimes work, but in the morining we have the same issue, can anyone help.

  • Setting up user preferences in web analysis

    From an admin perspective does anybody know how to setup preferences for a user/group in WA? I want to establish the users prefs, not them. Ideally, I would like to setup a group/shared preference and then put users in that group/share and have the user preferences point to the group/share preferences. As an admin i can repoint the user prefs to the group/share prefs. I did this in the web analyzer 7.2 but i don't know how to do this in system 9. I'm guessing i would do this in Shared Services??

    FYI...
    I am getting closer with this one. Shared services is the key. I set the startup page for WA in SS under projects. Users are seeing the WA document but i need for them to repoint their preferences to a shared preference under <Profiles>. My problem is the users don't see the shared pref file under the <Profiles> folder. As an admin I see the file. I suspect it has to do with SS provisioning but based on the provisioning for the users i thought they would see the shared pref file. Does anybody have any knowledge on pushing out shared preferences to users?

  • Blank Web Sharing Preference Pane

    Hi all,
    Whenever I go to the Web Sharing Preference Pane I see it blank like in
    www.queesaixo.com/repo/wspp.png
    On the other hand, other sharing panes like DVD sharing is ok
    www.queesaixo.com/repo/dvdpp.png
    Apache is running totally fine. I'm using MySQL 5.0 and PHP with it. Any idea why this could happen?
    The only message I get on system.log is:

    This message appears when I open the Web Sharing pane, but not when I open any other.
    Thanks!

    Old network software, no.  What would that consist of?
    Forcefully change kernal extensions, no.
    Is there a way I can double check myself here?  Maybe one of these is the case, unbeknownst to me.

  • 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
