Web Analysis vs. Interactive Reporting

What is the difference between those two?

I will see if I can explain. As pointed out my "bksinha", web analysis in hyperionanalyzer and interactive reporting is brio/hyperionintelligence. Differences <table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" width="100%"><tr><td width="50%">Web Analysis</td><td width="50%">Interactive Reporting</td></tr><tr><td width="50%">Good for ad-hoc analysis</td><td width="50%">Good for canned reporting</td></tr><tr><td width="50%">Very user friendly and small learning curve.

Web analysis, SQR Production Reporting, and maybe Interact Rpting are dead?

Hi,
I dont wish to hurt anyone but would like to know the facts from experts.
Look Smarter blog says "Web analysis, SQR Production Reporting, and maybe Interactive Reporting are dead?"
http://looksmarter.blogspot.com/search/label/Top10
Is this true?
Thanks,
Shashi

Hi Mehmet,
thank you. I could not answer on friday, was not at office.
I tried according to the instructions of oracle ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/pr_studio/frameset.htm?data_connection.html ). See comments:
To create an Essbase data source connection:
1. OK
Select Connection on the main SQR Production Reporting Studio screen.
The Create Data Connection wizard is displayed.
2. OK
On the first page, enter a name to identify the data connection.
For example, you could enter Essbase to identify a connection to an Essbase data source.
3. OK
On the second page, select DDO to identify the data source provider.
4. NOT OK. The messages shown: "Unable to start the JVM. Ensure that the JRE section of the SQR.INI file contains the correct directory. (4)"
"Unable to erad DDo Registry.Properties file. Check location and accessibility, an that the sqr.ini DDO pathvariable settings are correct (DDO.3)."
On the third page, select an Essbase data source.
The wizard displays the available registries and data sources.
Seems some setting problems. We would check that. Any suggestions to that error??

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
Thanks,
PVR

In a nut shell Hyperion Web Analysis is useful for reports having user drill downs. The end users will have the capability to drill down and select member from different Point of Views.
Financial Reports can be used for regulatory reporting and reports in standard format.
You can create reports in both Financial Reports and Web Analysis from Planning based on your requirement.
Please read the documentation for more information on the differences between the two products.

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports Pros and Cons

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
My Customer is asking the Merits and De merits of using both FR & Web Analysis tools for Hyperion Planning. Pls. help
Thanks,
PVR

Hi John,
I'm using FR extensively now and used Web Analysis before. We use FR for Good formatted Reports, where as Web Analysis we use for adhoc Reporting Purpose. users can do slicing/dicing, Drill down/up in Web Analysis Reports, where as this feature is not available completely in FR
We use FR for Planning right ? What is the main advantage of using FR over Planning ? I belive with Web Analysis over Planning may cause performance issues
Thanks,

Interactive Reporting vs. Web Analysis

Hi,
I have been working at a client's location to create financial reports using Hyperion Financial Reporting (version 11.1.1.3). My client now has a requirement for dashboards for upper-management users. I did not see any features in Financial Reporting that can enable me to create dashboards. Hence, I am trying to fix on either Web Analysis or Interactive Reporting to accomplish dashboard reporting for the client. Can anyone let me know which is a better tool for creating dashboards? Are there any advantages/limitations of one over the other?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Regards,
Abhi

Hi WVanSluys,
Thanks for the response. Does OBIEE 11g have dashboard capabilities that can build dashboards from multidimensional data source such as Essbase? The reason I ask this question is that we have two different teams working at this client: one for implementing Oracle EBS and the other Oracle Hyperion (I am part of Hyperion team). The next phase of our project involves implementing OBIEE. If I am understanding you right, Web Analysis (or for that matter, Interactive Reporting) is NOT needed if OBIEE is being implemented?
Hi Iain,
Thanks for the reply.

Wrting back in IR and web analysis

how do you write back in web analysis and Interactive reporting to the database

You can use Web Analysis to write back to Essbase as long as the user has access and the intersections you are writing to are editable (not a calc, etc).
To do this you can access the 'Edit Data' feature from the right click menu or you could put a 'Services' button on the report/dashboard so the user doesn't have to go to the right click menu.
There are two types of Edit Data service buttons. One is a normal Edit Data button which will edit whichever data object (i.e. grid, chart, etc) is "in focus" or has been selected. The 'Assign Edit Data' button allows you to pick which data source the Edit Data will be assigned to ahead of time when setting up the button.
You will have to test these in the Workspace, though. I don't think the Edit Data buttons were supported in the Workspace; however, I hear that in 9.3.1 they are now.

Interactive Reportin vs Web Analysis

Hi all
I've a question about Interactive Reporting (IR).
I know that I can design a report based on Multidimensional DB using Web Analysis (WA), Financial Report (FR), and IR.
3 ways to get data from same DB. I don't know so well IR, so I ask: According to your experience and knowledge, in which situations you advice to use IR?
Usually, I rely on Web Analysis, sometimes I use FR when I need particular formatting that I can't do using Web Analysis.
My client (future, I hope, now it's just a prospect) has many report done with IR, I cannot analyze them. He says they're slow. Any issue related to performance or other things?

Interactive Reporting Web Client on Apple Mac: Intelligence iServer?

Hi All,
I just installed EPM release 11.1.1.1 along with Interactive Reporting. We were led to believe that Macintosh was supported as long as FireFox was used as a browser. Everything seems to work fine except when I try to create a new Interactive Reporting Web Client document, I get the error message:
Viewing and analysis with Interactive Reporting Web Client is supported in Windows only.
For other platforms, use the Intelligence iServer option: ihtml servlet icon
Contact your system administrator if this option is not available.
I cannot seem to find much information on this "Intelligence iServer". Does this exist and will it let FireFox clients use Interactive Reporting Web Client? Is it an option that can be installed on the server?
Thanks for
any insight.
Randy

Hi,
I have some knowledge about this Intelligence iServer, which I would like to share with you.
In Version 8(HPSu 8.5), Hyperion has 5 servers, which we need to install-
Hyperion Foundation server
Hyperion SQR server
Hyperion SQR iserver
Hyperion Intelligence Server
Hyperion Intelligence iserver
Each server had its own specific work and foundation server was base of all other servers.
Hyperion Intelligence iserver supports the user to access the BQY in ihtml client. It helps user to perform some feature (like drill down-drill up) in html view.
Later Hyperion Came with System 9 and integrated the entire server into a single bundle (internally I don't know what happened).
This EPM 111.1.1 is Hyperion System 9.5 only.
I would like to advice you to log this case to Oracle support (metalink3) and ask more information about this.
It may be that, EPM 11 doesn't support Web Client in Macintosh environment
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

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.
Regards,
Ahmad.

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

FR and Web Analysis reports will not run in workspace

I have configured both FR and Web Analysis and then re-configured workspace to pick them up. 'Reporting and Analysis shows up in my foundation metadata under workspace. All my related ports are enabled.
Database connection manager, import financial reporting reports, preferences financial reporting, tools/link to web analysis, do not appear in workspace.
get 'required application context analyzer is missing. please contact your adminstrator.' error when try to run a web analysis or financial reporting report from workspace.
Web analysis as a client with reports is working fine.
Financial reporting allows me to create a database connection, create a report, pdf preview from the client but web preview breaks with generic page not found error.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi,
You can use panel while creating reports and put all the graphs on it .
Panels color can be changed.
Thanks

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

Question with web analysis reporting

Hi,Experts..
Here is a criitcal situation for me..
we are using web analysis as a reporting tool.In generatin one report..the "Rate difference must be calculated".
The importatnt thing is rate difference is a fact value(not available in the cube) which calculated from "version-1 volume minus version-2 volume" (1003->volume - 1000->volume).whwn i try to do in analysis tool functionality in web analysis,the rate difference will be coming as in 2 columns for both version...
My idea is to write a calculation script.but while writing calculation script the rate difference will not be there in the cube level..if i write the scripts how can i validate...
How to proceed to this?

Hi,
I'm not quite sure how your outline is- & your complete reporting requirements(,for the report you mentioned).
However, I presume, Version is one of the dimensions having *1000* & *1003* as members. And, Volume is one of the members in your Measures+ dimension.
If yes, what's the issue if we select Version(s) in Column & Volume in the row. You can certainly add a column-level calculation for seeing the desired difference.
Let us know incase of any concerns.

P.S.:- This should've been posted in "Query & Reporting" forum. Experts for this sit there :D

Differences between Hyperion Workspace, Web Analysis and Financial Reportin

Hello,
Can anybody explain me the differences between Hyperion Workspace, Web Analysis and Financial Reporting?
Thank you

In real simple terms....
Financial reporting - Perfect for producing standardised monthly reporting such as P&L, balance sheets etc. Highly formatted, print well in PDF format.
Web Analysis - Highly graphical, web based analysis tool more suited to dashboards, pinboards etc with slice and dice capability.
Workspace - Common environment where reporting content in deployed. Users can access web anlysis, fin reports, Interactive reports plus other content through the workspace. It was the start of the 'log on to one place for all reporting' concept instead og logging on to multiple products.
Hope that helps
