XL Reporter - Report Composer Financial Tab is missing

I'm using version 8.81 Finland localization. I'm able to connect to XL Reporter but when I open the Report Composer, the Financial tab is missing. Other tabs are available except Financial. It is same happened to other databases.

Hi Carreen,
Welcome to the forums.
What type of user are you using? does it have Financial report authorization?

Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
- different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
- different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
- units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
(*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
(**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
More precisely, the questions are:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Pawel

I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
What is your opinion? Best regards!

RIDICULOUS Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP4 - Installing - missing cab file

Unsympathetic SAP rep Don Williams wrote in a now closed thread,
Subject: Re: Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP4 - Installing - missing cab file : m293.cab
Message: Hi All,
There is no incremental SP4 service pack for Crystal Reports Server XI R2 and no plans to build one.
Your ONLY option is to back up your CMS and Data store, un-install and then install from the FTP link.
The downloadable file from the support site is broken and they are working on fixing it and it is/will be the full build also.
Closing this post now.
Thank you for your understanding
Don
Frankly, this is outrageous. This issue has been open for close to 5 months. Rather than simply updating the SP4 incremental update with the correct files, SAP's brilliant response is to tell us that the file is STILL broken, but ***** you, whenever we fix it it will be the full build only. Well, thanks! That makes it so much easier. Rather than looking at Crystal Reports 2008, maybe it's time to suck it up and look elsewhere,
Here's hoping SAP decides to do the right thing. I'm sure everyone on the original thread would be interested.

Hi Falk,
   Yes, I am downloading it from a Win2003 machine. The browser is IE7.
   I can even see what's inside the m293.cab, and it is not the file mentioned on the error message...
   This is the m293.cab content (one file):
   tslv.dll.7ADA0B91_68E0_4E90_AD3D_23C9E3079BAB
   The file doesn't seem to be corrupted, it just doesnt have what was expected by the installer software.
   I tried downloading it again and had the same result... These are the installation files that I've already tried with the same result:
    - crsxir2win_sp4.exe (from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009887052008E/crsxir2win_sp4.exe])

   The next one was not the rigth package:
     - boXIwin_sp2.zip (from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100005931922008E/boXIwin_sp2.zip])
   I uploaded the servicepack4 part of the log where the error appears:

Migrate Financial Reporting reports from version 11.1.1.2 to 11.1.2.1?

I have recently built a brand new 11.1.2.1 environment. Our current environment is running 11.1.1.2. I have successfully migrated shared services data, and hfm data across to the new environment. I am now trying to move the financial reporting reports. Anybody know the best way to do this? Thanks.

I did do something wrong : )
I selected import file instead of import financial reporting documents!
Now when I import it asks me to create a datasource which I did. It then gives me the following error:
"Server/Cluster is incorrectly configured. Please reconfigure your Cluster or Server connection.<BR>Server/Cluster is incorrectly configured. Please reconfigure your Cluster or Server connection."
Now I know the server/cluster is configured properly for I can open the Financial Management application through workspace and through the Financial Management client with no issues whatsoever. So they are registered properly.
I'll continue to work at it and see if I can figure it out. In the meantime if you have a simple solution, please let me know.
Additional info:
I have a distributed environment. Foundation web server is where I run all the web components including Reporting & Analysis web, Financial Rptg web, shared services etc. I have a BIplus services server that is running RA Famework Server, FR Print server and HFM web server etc. I then have 3 essbase servers and one HFM server.
Thanks,

Enable drill through feature in a Financial Reporting Report

Hi,
my Hyperion system version is 9.3.1. I need to realize some Financial Reporting reports using the Drill Through feature but i don't know how activate this feature.
Anybody can hel me?
Thanks in advance.
Stefano

One way is related content, which drills to another report based on the intersection clicked on by the user:
Check out the fr user guide (chapter 7) for more info:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/nav/portal_4.htm
For setting up drill-through, you need to define the Hybrid Analysis relational source in Integration Services Console, check out the Hyperion Essbase – System 9 Database Administrator's Guide from the following link:

I have request in the report level but the same is missing in the infocube

Dear Experts,
I have request in the report level but the same is missing in the compressed infocube level. What could be the cause? does the compressed infocube deletes the request ? if so, I could able to view other requests under infocube manage level.
Kindly provide with enough information.
Thanks.............

Hi
Compressing InfoCubes
Use
When you load data into the InfoCube, entire requests can be inserted at the same time. Each of these requests has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the packet dimension. This makes it possible to pay particular attention to individual requests. One advantage of the request ID concept is that you can subsequently delete complete requests from the InfoCube.
However, the request ID concept can also cause the same data record (all characteristics agree, with the exception of the request ID) to appear more than once in the fact table. This unnecessarily increases the volume of data, and reduces performance in reporting, as the system has to perform aggregation using the request ID every time you execute a query.
Using compressing, you can eliminate these disadvantages, and bring data from different requests together into one single request (request ID 0).
This function is critical, as the compressed data can no longer be deleted from the InfoCube using its request ID. You must be absolutely certain that the data loaded into the InfoCube is correct.
Features
You can choose request IDs and release them to be compressed. You can schedule the function immediately or in the background, and can schedule it with a process chain.
Compressing one request takes approx. 2.5 ms per data record.
With non-cumulative InfoCubes, compression has an additional effect on query performance. Also, the marker for non-cumulatives in non-cumulative InfoCubes is updated. This means that, on the whole, less data is read for a non-cumulative query, and the reply time is therefore reduced. See also Modeling of Non-Cumulatives with Non-Cumulative Key Figures.
If you run the compression for a non-cumulative InfoCube, the summarization time (including the time to update the markers) will be about 5 ms per data record.
If you are using an Oracle database as your BW database, you can also carry out a report using the relevant InfoCube in reporting while the compression is running. With other manufacturers databases, you will see a warning if you try to execute a query on an InfoCube while the compression is running. In this case you can execute the query once the compression has finished executing.
If you want to avoid the InfoCube containing entries whose key figures are zero values (in reverse posting for example) you can run a zero-elimination at the same time as the compression. In this case, the entries where all key figures are equal to 0 are deleted from the fact table.
Zero-elimination is permitted only for InfoCubes, where key figures with the aggregation behavior SUM appear exclusively. In particular, you are not permitted to run zero-elimination with non-cumulative values.
For non-cumulative InfoCubes, you can ensure that the non-cumulative marker is not updated by setting the indicator No Marker Updating. You have to use this option if you are loading historic non-cumulative value changes into an InfoCube after an initialization has already taken place with the current non-cumulative. Otherwise the results produced in the query will not be correct. For performance reasons, you should compress subsequent delta requests.

Is it posibble to import a report of type "Financial Reporting Report"?
Thanks,

Hi,
If you are on version 11 then you either use LCM via Shared Services
or you can go into the workspace and export report to a file, then log into your target workspace and import the file

SSRS 2008 - Report Manager - Drop-Down menu gone missing

Hi All,
I have been using SSRS for a while and when new subscriptions were required for a report, I used a drop down menu on each report and used the subscribe option. Then this menu has disappeared from all reports. Nothing fundamental has changed
with the system. Is this a setting that someone has changed?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi Park,
In Reporting Services 2008, if you want to create a subscription, you can refer to the steps to do it.
Start Report Manager.
In Report Manager, on the Contents page, navigate to the report you want to subscribe to. Click the report to open it.
Click the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Subscription.
For more detail information about How to: Subscribe to a Report (Report Manager), please see:

I think we can eliminate the graphics card as a suspect (and therefore its driver). I just re-connected my monitor using the internal graphics processor. The Intel 4600. Not fantastic but actually has better features than the card I had hooked up before. (I might as well stay with this for now. It's an HDMI hook up.)
The problem is still there.
This gets more curious all the time. At this point It would seem that the the likelihood of this being a bug is more or less zero, as myself and one other individual are the only ones reporting it.
So, I'm thinking it has to be a flawed install. Maybe some line/lines of code are corrupt, if that can happen while still maintaining the rest of the programs integrity.
Any other thoughts anyone?

Crystal Reports "Report Application Server"

Does anyone have any experience with Crystal Reports' Report Application Server (RAS)?
The provided documentation is very thin and support are taking an age to respond.
I want to use a Bean as a data source for a report. The blurb says you can do this, but the only documented way I can find is for the bean to return a ResultSet, completely missing the point of using a bean or EJB in the first place.
Now, Seagate's sales blurb states that Beans and EJBs can be used as data sources, but if the only way to do this is to return a common or garden ResultSet, what's the point of the bean???
So, has anyone sucessfully used a bean or EJB as a data source for report generation under RAS, or merely CR in general, without resorting to a ResultSet??

Crystal Reports YUK!! especially in Java Forum!Tell me about it!!
But, like many developers, I don't get a choice. I have to use CR, and I have to integrate it into a Tomcat (4.1.24) based app. There is a Java API for RAS, but it is a pile of dung. Can you imagine publishing an API with public methods with 'do not use, for internal use only' plastered all over them!!!
But still, back to the original question, I have to find a way of doing this, but Seagate's javadocs are a mess, as are the howto docs. All of the examples, as you might expect, are childishly simple and don't give any insight into the large and hideous API :(
Here is an example of a CR howto.....
There appear to be two ways of creating a data source that isn't an existing report or a database query. This
Runtime data sources
One of the strengths of RAS over the Crystal Reports application, is that the RAS
can use data generated programatically at runtime. With a runtime data source,
you can take data from any source�such as a database, a data stream, or a flat
file�manipulate it with the programming language of your choice, and display it
with RAS.
To use a runtime data source
1 Put your manipulated data in a rowset form that can be processed by the RAS.
Consult the Rowset object and interface in the SDK JavaDocs, for details on
creating rowsets.
2 Create and fill the Dataset object with the rowset data.
3 Create a RowsetController object.
4 Add or set the data source using the RowsetController�s AddDataSource or
SetDataSource methods respectively.
The runtime data source is now available for use.
Note: If you create a report based on a data set, the data that is used is not saved
with the report. To populate the report with data the next time you open it, you
must either re-apply the data source to see current data, or access a saved version
of the data source for preview.
All well and good, but RowsetController doesn't have an AddDataSource or SetDataSource method!!!!
and this......
JavaBean custom data sources
You can use a JavaBean (or a Java class that does not extend the bean type) in order
to specify a custom data source. In order to do this, you will need to:
� Creating a Java class that specifies a custom data source
� Referencing a java class to provide data for a report
Creating a Java class that specifies a custom data source
To use a JavaBean (or a Java class that does not extend the bean type) in order to
specify a custom data source, you will need to create a class that serves as a Java
Beans Connectivity data source for creating Crystal Reports.
This class will need to conforms to the JavaBean standard by defining private
properties that are accessible only through get and set methods. In this way the
Crystal Reports designer can introspect the class as a Bean. The JavaBean
connectivity classes require the following.
� The constructor must have zero parameters.
� Methods that are used as "tables" must have a return type of ResultSet.
� Statement objects must be created using the
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE and ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
arguments.
Note: Methods returning ResultSet can take arguments, these are treated as
Stored Procedure parameters by Crystal Reports.
Now, what the hell is the point of going to the trouble of abstracting your business data into a bean or EJB, if that bean has to return a ResultSet for Crystal Reports to use??!!

BI Content Tab goes missing in between the Project

Hi Experts,
I have been finding a very strange behaviour in the BI 7 System of late. The BI Content tab has gone missing suddenly and its been more than a week till now. We have been installing and activating BI Objects regularly and suddenly one day its gone blank. I am a Tech Manager and was surprised when my consultant told me that BI Content tab is missing. I wanted to check if anyone else has faced this problem and if so whats the way out. Pls also let me know what are the reasons behind this so as to not repeat these mistakes in future. Would appreciate an immediate response - Swami.

Swami,
This is surprising.
Check, whether you are able to access BI content from menu (RSA1->Goto-> Install BI Content)
Adjust the screen resolution and check whether the BI content tab is hidden.
Also check in tcode : RSORBCT.

Problems with Page Break in an Interactive Reporting report

Hello everybody,
Platform: Hyperion System 9.3.1.
I have serious problems in managing the 'page break' in an Interactive Reporting report.
The report shows sales data by store, with article and colour details and it is organized like this:
group 1: geographic area
group 2: country
group 3: city
group 4: store
columns: article, colour
facts: quantity, price, value
My client's request is to perform a page break at the store group level, meaning that apart from the first store occurance, any change in the store value shoul start a new page.
The requested result is like this:
page1: geographic area1
country1
city1
store1
data store1...
page 2: store2
data store2...
page3: store3
data store3...
I tried several combinations of using Break After and Break Before on the store group, with Keep Next / Keep Together and it was impossible to obtain the desired result.
If I use Break Before the result is as follows:
page 1: geographic area1
country1
city1
page 2: store1
data store1...
page 3: store2
data store2...
If I use Break After the result is as follows:
page 1: geographic area1
country1
city1
store 1
page 2: data store1...
store 2
page 3: data store2...
even if I specify 'Keep with next' or 'Keep together' for store group and the store data table.
Any help will be very very appreciated because I've been trying for weeks to figure out this issue.
Daniela

First start without using any of the Keep with Next and Keep together.
Second. try putting the Page Break in the Group Footer. You do not need to keep it visible
Then you may want to repeat headers on Store in case the Store's Detail rolls onto next page
Hope this helps
