Web Analysis Reports using a Relational Database

I would like to create a Web Analysis report using data from an Oracle database. From Web Analysis, I try to create a new database connection. I select Oracle as the Driver type. In the Database Connection String field, I replace {HOST-NAME} with the Host information from the TNSNAMES.ORA file. I've confirmed the Port number is correct. When I test the connection, it fails. What am I missing? The format of the Database Connection String that is defaulting into the field is:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@{HOST-NAME}:1521:ORCL
Is there anything else I need to include besides the Host name and Port number, for example, do I need to include the SID?
Thanks.

The ojdbc14.jar currently exists in the following directories:
bea\weblogic81\server\lib
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
There is a ojdbc14_g.jar that exists in:
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\10g
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
The classes12.jar file exists in:
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\oui\jlib
So from your response, I assume I need to copy classes12.jar to a directory under bea\weblogic81?
Thanks.

Web Analysis Report prompted for relational database login

We have given access to the WA reports and everything works fine in general. One of the user trying to open same report(s) document(s) via Workspace and its getting prompted with relational database login? I have verified for the access and everything seems to be fine.
I do not know the reason for this. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

From the forums, i got the below MAXL commands to sync the user access :
alter system resync sss; --> this command will sync all the users, groups.
alter group <group name> sync security with all application; --> This can be used to individually sync the required group
alter user <user name> sync security with all application; --> This can be used to individually sync the required user
Will check it up with user on any change in her access.
Thanks,

Unable to open web analysis reports through workspace

Hi,
I am connecting web analysis with MSSQL server 2000 and generating reports. I am using essbase 9.3.1 version.
But my problem now is that I can just open these reports from web analysis studio and cannot open them from workspace. In workspace, if I right click on the report and open it from web analysis studio it does open. But it does not open by double clicking the report in workspace. It just shows a blank report on just parts of the report.
The issue is only there for the reports that are getting data from relational db (MSSQL server 2000). The other reports that are using the cube data are fine and opening from everywhere.
Are there any other configuration settings involved in order to open a web analysis report(that uses relational db) from workspace?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi Atul,
Try using the in built config checker:
http://localhost:16000/WebAnalysis/config
This has several tests you can perform to see what's running.

Web Analysis reports based on Planning application

All,
I have migrated planning application from dev to prod using LCM, planning version 11.1.1.2. everything has been migrated and working fine.
Web Analysis reports, and Database connections are also migrated from DEV to PROD.
User has uploaded some PLAN data for FY10 through smartview on PROD server, but unable to see the data using Database connection migrated from DEVL but he can see the data when he creates new database connection on PROD.
both database connections are from same database but he cannot see any new data uploaded through smartview with old database connection and he have tons of reports based on old database connection.
can I change database connection for old reports with new database connection or do I need to fix something on my planning side.
Please provide some suggestions. I can give more info if required.
Thanks
Ravi S

Hi,
LCM will have created xml exports with the database connection information in them.
If you open one of the xml database connection exports you will see something like
<server-name>localhost</server-name>
<application-name>PLANSAMP</application-name>
<database-name>Consol</database-name>
You would need to update the information such as the servername in the files then import them in again using LCM.
Cheers
John

I have a requirement in Key Performance Indicators reports (KPI)
1) Need to have a custom column of current year Actuals Vs Plan data
2) Need to have a custom column of current year Actuals Vs prior year Actuals data
3) Need to indicate Font colours based on the values derived in columns (1) and (2) - if positive data - green colour
if negative data - red colour
I am trying to replicate this in Web Analysis report, but facing issues on
1)Making this year value dynamic (shd change based on current year or atleast should prompt when we run report)
2) Since i have fixed the report with 2008 and 2007 year, all the formattig made whiel creating the Report goes away, if i try to run the report with different year values like in 2010 and 2009 year (as current and prior year)
3) Also, i have hided some coulumns based on our requirement which also no longer exists if i change the year values (available in coulmns)
Please suggest any comments to resolve these issues, Moreover i am new to Web Analysis reporting tool ,so kindly suggest, if i am not using any of the existing WebAnalysis features to derive my requirement.
Expecting your earliest response.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi Siva,
If you are using the Essbase as a data source then you can achieve these things from using the substitution variable in WA report.
Assume you have a substitution variable in Essbase cube for current year. In WA report in Dimension Browse, right-click a dimension member and select "Substitution Variable”. The Substitution Variable dialog box is displayed. Here select a substitution variable from the list of Essbase substitution variables.
To get the Prior year, again in Dimension Browse, right-click a dimension member and select the "Also select Previous". Here define the prior year that you want to use in your report.
Sorry, I have no idea about the substitution variables in the HFM (It might be that we call the substitution variable with another name in HFM).
Hope it will help you.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

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,

Q:- Migrating version 6 Web Analysis reports directly to version 11 ??

Trying to migrate version 6 Web Analysis reports directly to version 11.1.1.2 without first migrating to version 9, because of some time constraints.
Overall it works fine, except for some issue with PV (Personal Variables) in those reports.
The PVs are present in the version 6 xml export file, but somehow not being picked up in version 11.1.1.2 Web Analysis import.
Has anyone tried to migrate version 6 Web Analysis reports to version 11.1.1.2 and faced this kind of issue?
I am wondering if there is any change in the xml tags because of which the migration from 6 to 11 is not working.
Anyone has any thoughts or ideas to quickly migrate web Analysis reports from 6 to 11. There are hundreds of reports that need to be migrated.

Hi,
Welcome to Forums...!
I think we need to change the database connection details in the Web analysis.
goto file --> Edit --> browse the database connection then change the server name in the connection details.
may be this will help to resolve your issue.

Hi Vijay,
I have checked migration utility inversion 9.x basically this migration utility is compatible for reports from version 7.x to 9.x and it is not supported for reports from 9.x to 11.x ....
So i have finally fallowed a procedure.
I have exported the reports from 9.x and imported in 11.x .
Then after exporting i have pointed database connections to new 11.x version server.
Now I was facing a issue when i open a reports in read only mode (i.e as a business user) iam getting a screen where it asks for database details ( I have assigned business user read access to essbase)
Basically this reports are pointing to my old essbase server i.e version 9.x server.
Please let me if iam missing something while exporting and importing reports.
Thanks,
Ram.

How to Set up the User POV in Web Analysis report

Hi , I am new to create the Hyperion Web Analysis report.
I am trying to set up the user POV. I have followed the document and did the below steps.
1. I went to User preference -> OLAP Server -->checked the BOX "Save Filters only for POV".
2. selected the layout and in options checked the Use user POV.
after that I have opened the report in HTML. nothing got prompted.
When I opened the Financial report, It will prompt user to select the year, period, entity, etc... I need the same way in Web Analysis also.
I have selected Accounts in rows, Entity, Year, Period in columns , rest all i kept in Filters.
Could some one please help me how user can get prompted to select the members from dimensions.
Thanks

What you have in Webanalysis is POV and PV
Applying Point of View (POV)
Selecting Personal Variables
You can also look at Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: WebAnalysis - how to show the current user's report when he logs in to see how PV can be leveraged.
There is no prompt option in WebAnalysis

Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace

Not able to export web analysis report to excel smart view from workspace.
Error :Web launch operation has been cancelled.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issues

I realized that I can put a block in WebI and then I can pull that in excel alongside of static header, after putting the question.
My interest to know whether it is by design in XI 3.0 or it is an issue. But by the replies it seems to me like it is by design.
@Anis: I can't go for header as part of Body. Because this report is viewed in Web by many other users. I can't have separate report for Live office, it is a restriction for me. If I use the header in body, it wont look good I guess.

Can we schedule web analysis report on workspace

I am working on Hyperion 9.2. i want to know that is it possible to schedule the Web Analysis reports on workspace?

There was a way to launch an Analyzer report to html using the command line. This could then be scheduled but they've removed the functionality in System 9. The really annoying thing is that they've actually left a lot of the code lying around that enabled you to launch using the command line.
As Sean says it's now not possible unfortunately.

Error while operating Web analysis report in Workspace

I have created a web analysis report in which i have provided buttons, on the click event of button it must open a link provided.This button is working fine when opened using Web Analysis studio but on running this report in workspace, when i press the button i get this error "This Service is not supported by the HTML client".
Please help.

Have you tried checking the "Design for HTML" from the Edit toolbar to see if you get any error when saving?
Do you have any advanced items on the report, as there are 4 types of differences between Studio and HTML:
- font differences, Workspace (DHTML) uses the WA Server fonts whereas WA Studio client machine fonts.
- Service Buttons are very restricted using Workspace
- Display: Tab selection, Splitter panels, Slider selection do not render in Workspace
- Cannot restrict WA Tools menu in Workspace at all, where you can in the Studio.
For exact details check out the Hyperion Web Analysis Studio User’s Guide from the Doc Library:
