Workspace POV

Hi! Workspace,
We have a large population of users and reports that go against 3 databases. For most of the users, dimensions are missing from the POV when running against one of the database connections. When running against the other 2 databases all POV databases show up. I tried making sure the Preview POV is turned on but it doesn't seem to help. FOr example when I open/run the report (I am just a designer, not the administrator), I see profit center, account, scenario, year and currency in the report pov. When most of the user log in, they only see scenario and year. How do I get the other dimensions to appear. If they continue to run the report, it runs for the top of the houe and they get no data.
I have checked File/Preferences in Workspace and it isn't working...their preview is turned on and even if I hard code their profit center in, it seems to just return to all members but then only run for the top of the house.
HELP!!!
Thanks

Did you set your POV in workspace for Essbase or did you do it for each database. I assume each is different and if you set it at the Essbase level you might get funny results.

Financial Reporting in Workspace: POV preview does not reflect changes

Hi all
after changing a report with FRStudio (a dimension has been moved to the pov) and saving it back to the repository (with the same name) we have a problem with the POV. We only have workspace users without limitations on their POV; the log in and immediatly try to open the modified report. All of them see the POV Preview, but: some of them immediatly saw the new dimension in the pov preview (so 4 boxes in this case); some of them continued to see the previous ones (3 boxes); some just see a couple of dimensions either new or old...
the only workaround I found is to create a new database connection (from workspace) to the same Essbase application and change consequently the connection the report points to. but this is not a practice applicable in a production environment... do you have any suggestion?
thank you

Hi Ruth,
My advice is dont use the Designer. The CRM Designer isnt supported by SAPCRM 5.0. Try to do all the configuration in blueprint tables.
If you have changed the layout with Designer and after you do the refresh of your fieldgroup structure then you always the designer changes will be lossed.

POV in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio and Workspace

Hi!
I have the following problem.
I create a report in Hyperion FinReporting Studio, choose required members in POV. Save report.
Then I open it in Workspace and sometimes my chosen POV crushed: sometimes there are no chosen members, sometimes there is a free space.
How can I fix it? (It's not acceptable to choose POV as a prompt all time). Is it a bug?
Thanks.
Natallia

Hi Natallia,
well first there are two type of POV in Hyperion financial reporting.
1. User POV
2. Grid POV
If you are never getting the USER POV in workspace then it may be that "Preview User Point of View" is off.
Just check it under FIle-->Preferences-->Financial Reporting in workspace.
If you want some default selection in your reports all the time, you should use Grid POV instead of USer POV.
Thanks and Regrads,
Rahul

Withing Workspace it is hanging when we select the POV

When we want to run a BI report within the HFM Workspace (version 9.3.1.4), it is hanging / freezing on us when we want to choose a different POV. Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?
We currently have a workaround to click on "Preview User Point of View" and we TYPE in the members into the POV boxes, but when we choose the POV and click OK, it hangs/freezes. No error message appears. The workaround works for us at Corporate, but might be causing problems for our users world wide.
Thanks for any input, greatly appreciate it.
Claudia

It does - it points to a library corruption - backup your iPhoto library and depress the option and command keys and rebuild the library - try from the last automatic database back up first - if that does not work try the other options - if those do not do it then use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to rebuild

Reports from BI Workspace Display w/ #ERROR or Empty

One of my users is no longer able to see data in reports when ran from Workspace. She either sees #ERROR in each data cell or the report displays empty. If I run the report, I see the data. I have confirmed the permissions on the report are set to Read for the World group. These reports were running fine for her last week. Any ideas what could be wrong? Is there a DELETEPOV equivalent in 11.1.2?
Thanks.
Terri Taylor

Her POV was set up just like mine. She logged into Workspace from my laptop and was able to run the report fine. We had her delete her Internet temporary files and then she was able to successfully run the report. Strange.

Hyperion Financial Reporting is taking long time to show the User POV

Hi,
we are using the HFR (version 9.3.1.2) and when i double click on any report in the workspace it is taking 5 minutes to show me the User POV. Can any one of you let me know how to find where the issue is.
Regards,
VJ

Hi VJ
Things that I am aware of that can slow down reports are:
1. Lots of members on the page (HFR tries to bring all the data into memory when run to speed up data display when changing from page to page)
2. Nesting of attributes (due to dynamic nature of calculations)
3. Nesting of dynamic calcs (similar to above)
If you have any of the above that could be your issue although it sounds like it may be more a hardware issue than an issue with the reports themselves. Does it always take that long? even if you re-run a report that has been run before?

Unable to open the member selection(pov)

Hi,
We are facing a critical issue and we are using FR 9.2 Version:
Issue:
We have FR Reports and Books in Workspace, when we try to open a Book or Report from workspace it asks for the POV to select. If we select member from the selection for the first time it opens. While trying to re open the same it hangs there giving blank screen and status of it goes on no result if we wait what ever may be the time. When we tried to open from studio its working fine even if we select multiple no of times also. We also tried to restat the services multiple no of times but no use. Is there any option to work it proper.
We have tried to create the books once again but of no use.

Hi,
I have tried all these. Everything looks fine when you try to run from studio. I also saved the pov's once again but not working.
Atlast we have done in this way, we created new books using the same old reports and gave security for the new books its working fine now. But in case if you touch the old book and run the new book same old problem persists. why i dont know.

Time out error while running the FR report on Workspace

Hi,
We are working on Hyperion system 9.3.1 financial reporting with Essbase as a data source.
We have built a report, which has many computation, conditional formatting, suppression condtion.Report has around 100 columns.
Now when we are try to open this report on workspace, report is throwing the "Server time out" error meassage. error meassage is-
"The requested item could not be loaded by thr proxy. Timed out".
Reports are opening fine with less data or if essbase cube doesn't have any data.
Please suggest us on this issue. Do we need to set any setting at Essbase level or workspace level or any other way.
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

I would suggest by saying that 100 columns seems quite a lot, you mention there are many computation columns, these should be pushed back onto the server to calculate.
We have also experienced issues where reports we pulling back lots of columns that were dynamically calculated.
To narrow down the actual problem you can try the following, the see if the report runs with the change, if not continue with the next steps:
- remove all formatting from the spreadsheet;
- remove all calculations from the spreadsheet;
- see if the report can be built more efficiently, by moving items to Grid POV or using same as, or reordering dimensions in inverse outline order;
If it still doesn't run, then try removing columns until it can run.
Cheers, Iain

5200: FR Essbase Report - POV Error

Hi All,
One of our user (non-admin) is getting the below POV error when he tried to run a FR Essbase report,
"5200:Error executing query :;has Pov Dims=0;pov XML=<?xml version ="1.0"?><datasources></datasources>"
we tried the following actions as a part of trouble shooting, but nothing worked so far,
- Verified the File --> Preferences in workspace and the POV settings is ON
- Reset the user POV using ManageUserPOV.cmd
- Deprovisioned & reprovisioned the user
- Verified the user security access
- we are able to run the report with other admin & non-admin logins
Kindly suggest us with a solution, if you have faced this error in your past.
Thanks,
Siva

Try to reset his POV using the HYPERION_HOME\BIPlus\bin\ManageUserPOV.cmd utility.
You need to alter the ManageUserPOV.properties file to indicate his/her user ID

Workspace Error Running Financial Reports Post HFM Metadata Change

We recently updated the metadata in HFM to use the Custom4 dimention. We are now trying to run reports from Workspace and get an error 5200 - error executing query. I have confirmed that the database connection in Workspace is ok. I am able to run the reports from the Financial Reporting Studio. Any ideas what's wrong when running from Workspace?

That error means that the report is trying to retrieve data from a member that either does not exist or is not valid. I have seen it happen when the user POV chooses [Year] for period.
I would start by trying to get the report to run from Report Studio where you can control the POV settings. If you still get the error, you will need to go through every data point in the report and verify that each member exists.

In Hyperion Workspace 11.1.1.3 can you globally set user preference?

In Hyperion Workspace 11.1.1.3, is there a way to globally set the Hyperion Reporting User Point of View to 'on' for all users?

Yes, you can. I believe it is in the Hyperion\products\biplus\lib folder for 11.1.1.3, but you may have to search for it. Look for fr_repserver.properties. Change the "     Prompt User POV" property from OFF to ON. You will have to restart the following services.
1.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Print Server
2.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Report Server
3.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Scheduler Server
4.     Hyperion Financial Reporting – Web Application (might be on different server)

Attributes not showing up in POV

In the process of developing some financial reports, it looks like I hosed the display of attributes on my admin account somehow.
The scenario is as follows:
On several reports I have attributes setup in the POV, when I originally developed the reports they showed fine, but for some reason they are not there any more. I'm lead to believe that something with the account I'm using was changed, as when I log in with a test account, provisioned as a regular user, I'm able to see the attributes listed in the POV.
I've tried changing the available settings in workspace and have not found any settings in the desktop client that would affect this.
We're running workspace version 9.3.1.0.0.248 and financial reporting 9.3.1.325
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Hari,
Currently, the only attributes that you have access to in Publisher are the attributes linked to the taxonomy that you've designated to be your family field (in the console), which by default, is your main taxonomy table.
The only way to display fields linked to non-main tables is by designating them alternate display fields, which in your case doesn't sound like what you want.

User point of view in POV on FR

hi,
I have a report in whichi have selected version dimension in POV and when i run the report via workspace it prompts me to select version dimension member but there is another admin trying to run the same report and
when he tries to select the version member instead he is prompted to select the memeber from year dimension. The first dialogue box that pops up when we run workspace says select memeber for version dimension but when he tries
to browse for the other memeber in the other dialogue box that opens and shows members from year dimension.
I am on planning 9.2 please help its driving me crazy
Edited by: user4958421 on Jul 23, 2009 12:04 PM

Sounds like a corrupt POV to me. There is a utility in the Hyperion\BIPlus\bin folder called DeletePov.cmd that will clean this up. Go to a command prompt and the change directory to the Hyperion\BIPlus\bin folder and do DeletePov /? for details. Once deleted, get him to try again.
Hope this helps.

POV is stuck for some users in Smartview 11.1.2

A couple of my users go into Excel, log into their Smartview connection and try to perform a Manage POV function. When they do so, various aspects such as Custom 2 and Entity are filled in whereas mine are set to [None] (which mine is functioning properly). When they double-click to change the POV detail in one of the dimensions, it displays an error "Function parameter is missing or misspelled" and they are unable to change any of the settings in their Manage POV function. I know these settings should be pulled from Reporting, so I had the user go in and open up a report from workspace and change their POV around. We were able to get the Custom 2 to now display [None], but Entity is still populated with a value and they still receive the "Function parameter is missing or misspelled". We also tried to change this via Ad hoc but were unsuccessful as well.
I connected to the user's machine and logged into the Smartview connection on his sheet and my POV shows correctly, but when we disconnected and had him log back into the Smartview connection on the sheet, the same problem still exists. The Entity is still showing populated with a specific value. We would like to get this reset to [None] but I am unable to figure out how to do so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
