Web Analysis Alias Issues

We changed some cost center naming conventions within the Essbase cube and moved the old alias to a new alias table called OLD so reports relying on this alias would not be comprimised. The problem is that the reports already developed will not show the new alias description. I tried everything I can think of including removing the old alias directly in Essbase. Any ways around this or do I have to recreate the reports?
With the excel add-in, it is as easy as changing the alias table reference in options, but I can't find a similar function in Web Analysis.

Good news...Bad news...
The good news is that there is a way to manage this in Analyzer/Web Analysis. The bad news is that it is a really poor implementation of this feature. To date, this is the only way I know of to control this.
If you open your report in the Java client (Studio) and switch to Report Designer mode, you will see on the menu bar the different types of subscriptions you can drag onto your report. Things like combo boxes, grids, radio buttons, etc. There is one that is often overlooked, called "Alias Controller". Drag the alias controller onto your report and switch back to Analyze View. You now have a drop down box on your report that allows you to choose which alias table you want to utilize.
Of course you'll have to touch each report to do this.
Another issue is that you now have an Alias controller on each report. That might be a benefit to you if it makes sense for your users to toggle back and forth, however if it doesn't and you don't want the drop down box on your report, there are some options. One options is to hide it behind another object or under a panel. The other option, and I have not tested this extensively, is to add the controller, change the alias table to the one you want, save the report, go back and delete the controller, save the report again, and it should continue to use the new alias table. I don't know if at some point it will revert back to the default alias table, but my basic testing showed it will hold the last table prior to removing the controller from the report. To be safe, you might just want to hide it.

Issue while opening the web analysis reports

Hi,
One of our user is not able to open a web analysis report with an error messages saying
"Java.Lang.Exception: Unexpected HTTP status code of 500 received from server"
"Document does not exist or no authorization to open the document"
Other users with the same level of access are able to open the report fine and also the same user is able to access the report fine with a test id from his machine.
What could be wrong? Any suggestions please.
The only thing I see here, something wrong with userd ID or password.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi,
I had also faced this problem earlier. I was using HFM as data source for WA reports. After searching I found that there was some change at HFM level. Some dimensions/members had been deleted or added in HFM. And I was using those missing members in WA Grid.
I had to recreate my reports again as I didn't get any other way to deal with this problem.
Please shared any other alternative option, if you found while working on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Issue opening Web Analysis report

I create, with buttons, links between reports in web analysis. Sometimes when I click on one of them in workspace, it doesn't open linked report, but another one. Furthermore this last one is automatically saved as the previous report, and I can't open the original linked report. Any suggestion about this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Natesh,
Thanks for your reply to my query posted in this forum. Please find my inline answers between asterisk to your questions:
Whatz the source of your Grid? Relational SQL Query (OR) A spreadsheet with Essbase database connection file?
* Yes, the source is Essbase.*
If source is Essbase, it seems- Outline might've got altered when you're trying to refresh the report.
* The outline was in tandem when we tried running this report in WebAnalysis. This outline & WebAnalysis report which is in Dev Server is a replica of the one in Test Server where it runs fine. *
If source is based on a Relational SQL query, chances are that- Query is no longer valid.
* NA as this statement is NOT applicable to our source.*
If it's Essbase, it's also likely that- It ran out of time while fetching the data from Essbase. You may try playing around with the parameters in Essbase.cfg file.
* This might be one of the causes, but I double checked the all the tunning parameters in Essbase.cfg file in place.*
Could you please through more observation on this issue. Let me know if any further information is needed!.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Krishan

Arabic Language aliases issue in Web Analysis reports

Dears,
I'm using Web Analysis to build reports with aliases in Arabic language. Aliases appear as small squares. Is there any configuration or workarounds should I do to solve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
Make sure that you have the right version of JRE in the system. Please try this steps in one client machine
1. Uninstall all the version f JREs from a client computer
2. launch Web Analysis Studio from that client computer
3. It will prompt you to download & install the compatible JRE from the Web Analysis server into your client computer
4. Install the JRE
Hope this helps

Security issue in Web Analysis

I have an issue with granting security to users and groups who are accessing a presentation in a shared desktop.
As per Web Analysis Studio Guide,you should also
"Edit Security file properties to grant access to groups hyperion web analysis"
Can anyone help me with how to edit Security File properties?
If this is not the best practice,can anyone suggest any other approach of provisioning security for documents in Hyperion Web Analysis?

can you tell me what inherit permission you gave to make it work.
I have a folder having a view access only. whenever i make new reports as admin...i cant see my new reports untill i refresh the "apply permission to children" options gain.
But thats not what i m looking for...i want it come on its own when I create a report.

Java issue with web analysis

Hi,
Web analysis is taking too long to start on client machines. I had this issue a couple of years ago with java 1.4.10. hyperion came back with a solution to increase the memory java uses on both the server and the client.
»Xms128m -Xmx256m -Xss2m » in the Java plug-in (Control Panel>Java plug-in>Advanced)
I cannot see on java 1.5.11 how to add this in. Java 1.5 was meant to make web analysis faster. In some environments it has but in this partilcuar case web analysis is very slow.
I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a way to make web analysis faster.
The server environment is unix. Can a cache setting be added to java?
The client issue is the most pressing one.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi,
Go to Java Control Panel, select the Java tab. You'll see Java Applet Runtime Settings section. Click View and fill the Runtime Parameter with your settings.

Issue about web analysis

Hi guys,
I am facing an issue about Web Analysis. When I use the version pre-9, I can access web analysis directly with html client or java client.Then I set each user with each POV. Now I am using EPM11, I can just access web analysis by workspace.Then if I would like to access java client, I click Tools->links->web analysis studio. While I access html client by clicking explore in the workspace toolbar. However, if the user doesn't belong to admin group, I can't find the explore toolbar. Then I can't access html client. As we know, not all web analysis users should be admin users. This issue puzzles me very much. Is there someone who can give some good suggestions? Thanks a lot.

The user needs the 'Explorer' role to see the 'Explore' button. The user does not need admin privs for this.
To access Web Analysis Studio directly, go to http://<server-name>:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp or http://<server-name>:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp.

Strange security issue with reports in Web Analysis.

Hi All,
I am working on Hyperion System 9.3.1 and Reports are developed using Web Analysis. To develop the reports I followed the following sequence.
1) Developed the reports with admin rights on Web Analysis reports and Essbase cube.
2) Create a group with users in Shared services and assign the following roles Analyst, Data Editor,Data Source Publisher,Dynamic viewer,Explorer,Viewer rights in Hyperion System 9 BI+ level and calc access for the database at Analytic Server level.
3) Create a separate folder in Web Analysis studio and copy the WA reports there(say- reports).
4) At workspace level, I gave the access on folder and on report.
Now when I login as one of the member of the group I am unable to see the reports in the folder.
I can see the reports when I login as an admin.
Am I misssing anything or the security I gave is insufficient.
Waiting for your reply.

can you tell me what inherit permission you gave to make it work.
I have a folder having a view access only. whenever i make new reports as admin...i cant see my new reports untill i refresh the "apply permission to children" options gain.
But thats not what i m looking for...i want it come on its own when I create a report.

Date format issue in Web Analysis...

Hi,
I am creating a report by connecting to a couple of relational tables. I'm using SQL Spreadsheet and SQL Subscription objects. I'm creating a Date filter using SQL Subscription object (list box) using the data source created by the SQL Spreadsheet. My database default date format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. But in the list box it shows as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI". When this value is selected, I get a "Literal mismatch error" since it doesn't match with the value stored in the database.
Why the format in WA is showing in this format even though it is fetchting it from my database in which the format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Is this related to WA date format settings? I cannot find anywhere in WA studio where I can set date formats. Is this something to be set in the server or webanalysis.properties file?
PS: I tried to work around this by storing the date value as character in the database but then I am not able to sort them ascending or descending order.I also tried creating the web analysis relational database connection which creates a virtual cube. But even there when I build the report using Data Source Navigator, it is showing date in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI'.

Hi,
Let me provide you the details of the report.
A concurrent program has been created with executable as XDODTEXE (XML publisher report).
In the data definition, we have embed one query which fetches transaction date and due date from some tables based on some conditions.
Now, we have to show these date columns in report output which will be in EXCEL format.
We want these date outputs to be printed in dd/mm/yyyy format. That is the reason we had given-
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE (SUBSTR(transaction_date,1,10), 'DD/MON/RRRR'),'DD/MM/RRRR') in the SQL query.
Problem in output is- In date columns, data after 12th is fine i.e. in format dd/mm/yyyy, it is printing properly.
But before 12th, it is printing in format mm/dd/yyyy as mentioned below-
01/10/2012--wrong format, it should be 10/01/2012
01/11/2012--wrong format, it should be 11/01/2012
01/12/2012--wrong format, it should be 12/01/2012
13/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
14/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
How can i send you the attachment, is there any way/any email id?

Hyperion Web Analysis- Issue in fetching data 50000 rows

Whenever trying to fetch more than 50000 rows in a Hyperion Web Analysis report, the output is truncated to 50000 rows only. A message is displayed for the same.
As a solution we have tried the following
1) Increase the MaxDataCellLimit and MaxJDBCCellCount to 999999 and restarted the services
2) Ftchmembersize has also been increased and services restarted.
However inspite of trying out these options with few a more rows than 50,000 the report is not opening.
Please suggest a workable solution with Hyperion Web Anaysis to handle records between 50000-300000 range.( Source may be Essbase or relational).
Which tool in Hyperion suite 11.1.2.1 would be the best candidate to handle transactional rows of huge volume ?
Regards,
Anirban

Why don't you try Smart View or the excel addin, Web Analysis was not really designed to dump large amount of rows into it.
If it is just an extract you are looking for then there lots of export options.

I am new to web analysis please let me know if i am follwong the right steps for creating the repport in it
Thanks!

Just for reference, the error that you described gets thrown a lot if you have something wrong with the Web Analysis service on the server. In 90% of my configurations, I run Web Analysis with Weblogic and if for some reason the connection or Oracle gets broken, I get this error when trying to launch Web Analysis. Depending what goes wrong on the server side, you are bound to see this error pop up

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.

Do I need to do any modifications in my configuration or property files....

Hi,
Regarding Web Analysis- I believe- It's a problem of JRE.
- Just remove/uninstall the JRE from your Currently installed Programs. You may want to reboot the m/c
- Open Web Analysis Studio in the Web browser. Now, since it can't find JRE, it'll set up the relevant JRE for you & you may continue using Web Analysis.
- Please note- Unless you've changed to a different one during configuration, Web Analysis operates on 16000 port.
Check the following regarding Workspace-
- Your service may be down, thus, throwing Network error
- You may've to re-configure Workspace. Start the service & wait for few mins. before opening Workspace.
