Y-T-D in Financial Reporting

Hello,
I have a report that shows the actual and forecast information for a particular month.
Now my users want a report that shows the same information year-to-date (YTD)
When I changed the time period to YTD my report went into error. I am guessing it is because it doesn't know what is the current month right now.
Please help me!
Thanks,
Robby

How are you selecting Y-T-D in FR Studio?
When you select YTD it will ask for a member, what did you select there?

Financial Reporting 11.1.2.507 - pages from a report

Hello,
I was designing a report on Financial Reporting Studio, but dimensions from pages are shown separates by commas in only one combo box. What I need is to have one combo box per each dimension.
Please, We will appreciate your valuable response.

Hi Neeraj,

Proxy error while running the financial report in workspace.

Hi,
We are using the Hyperion financial reporting 9.3.1 with Essbase as a data source.
While running a report in workspace, we are getting the 'Proxy error' meassage, which is following-
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
'<html><head>
<title>502 Proxy Error</title>
</head><body>
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid
response from an upstream server. 
The proxy server could not handle the request <a
href="/hr/modules/com/hyperion/reporting/web/reportViewer/HRRunJob.jsp">GET /hr/modules/com/hyperion/reporting/web/reportViewer/HRRunJob.jsp</a>.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
</body></html>"
Do anybody have any idea on this? Any help will be appriciated on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Hi Iain,
We are using Microsoft Internet explorer 6.0. I am not sure about the 'proxy' (As we don't have any proxy setting in Tool--> Internet options--> connection--> LAN setting). We are accessing the Workspace and FR studio via Citrix application. How can I check the proxy.
Also, I noticed one more point, Report has prompt for seleting 'Account hierarchy'.If we run the report only for one account hierarchy, report is returning the data but while running for multiple account hierarchy, it is throwing the 'Proxy error' as memtioned above.
Please help us on this.
Thank & Regards,
Mohit

Error while running the financial report in the workspace.

Hi,
Im getting the below error while running the financial report in the workspace in HTML mode.
*"Required application module reporting.HRRunDlg is not configured. Please contact your administrator".*
And im not able to login to the Hyperion Financial Reporting as well.. i get the below error
*"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator"*
Can someone let me know how to resolve this error.

You don't mention the version, what app server or web server you are using, etc.. That information might be helpful, but in general, you can try the following:
1. Make sure you have gone through the FR Web App deployment steps and verify the settings entered in the Config Tool.
2. For version 11.1.1.x and 9.3.1.x, try opening the report in FR Studio and running it via the FR Studio Print Preview (*bold*not*bold* Web Preview.) If the report runs/processes, then the back-end FR Services are functioning and the issue is confined to the web interface. Verify the FR Web App is up and listening on the designated port (8200, by default), check the FR Web App logs and the App Server (WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat, OAS) logs for errors/issues.
If the report fails to process in FR Studio Print Preview, then there is a problem with the FR Reporting Server Service. Check to make sure the service is up/functioning and check the FR Report Server logs for errors.
3. Test access to other FR functionality in workspace (ex: Files->Preferences->Financial Reporting or Explore->Tools->Database Connection Manager?) If these don't work, then try to connect to the following URLs:
http://workspaceServer:19000/hr/status.jsp
http://frWebAppServer:8200/hr/status.jsp
Note: The URLs above assume standard/default ports. You may need to adjust them for your environment.
If the first URL fails, but the second URL works, there is a problem with the HTTP redirect settings on the Web Server (Apache, IIS, etc.) Run through the Workspace deployment and make sure the Web Server Config settings point to the right ports/servers.

How do I create a GL responsibility to access multiple ledgers (error trying to run Financial report submission)

I created a new GL responsibility and used the same menu as an existing one but created a new data access set that has all the ledgers in it that we want to access.
I left the following profile options with no value. The reason being is this responsibility should not be tied to any org/ledger.
MO: Operating Unit
GL Ledger ID
GL Ledger Name
This all seems to be working fine except when the users try to access Financial Report Submission. The error that appears when trying to choose a ledger when running the report.
Error: Stale Data
The requested page contains stale data. This error could have been caused through the use of the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).
I have cleared the browser cache and cache was cleared by functional administrator. In this case it really doesn't seem to be anything to do with the browser's back button being used (I didn't use it) since I can make this error go away by setting the value for GL Ledger Name. But that is not what the users want since that will restrict them to a specific ledger but they should be able to run the report for any ledger.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Please see (RM: Financial Report Submission: Errors With Stale Data, View Object FSGSubmissionAM.FSGSubmissionPVO1 Contained No Record [ID 1099837.1]).

Financial reporting and balance carry forward at Line item level

Hello
We are in the process of implementing a new GL and using it to create Balance Sheet and P&L statements in BW.
We have installed the new datasource for GL line items 0FI_GL_14 and loaded the data to a DSO. Installed the 0FI_GL_10 (totals infosource) as well.
Also we created a custom infocube on the line items DSO and want to use it to report against a Financial Statement Version. In order to do that we created a
virtual cube with the FM and added the necessary Financial Statement Item and other key figures in the virtual infocube.
Now I want to know is it the correct way to create financial reports?
Can we load totals and Line items to the same infocube? Do we have to load totals to a different DSO/Cube or same Cube?
How do we address the Balance Carry Forward on the Line items cube? Since the balance carry forward is done on totals only, and the cube I created is a detailed cube is it possible to carry forward balances at that level?
Also can someone let me know what is the best approach to create financial reports and give drill down capability at the document level?
Thanks in Advance
Raju Kosuru

Now I want to know is it the correct way to create financial reports?
NO .. Its not.
Can we load totals and Line items to the same infocube?
NO
Do we have to load totals to a different DSO/Cube or same Cube?
Yes.. SAP has delivered C10 for Totals and O14 for line items... No point in creating cube for line items i.e. on top of O14.
Balance carry forward can be done on totals only (that is how totals extractor _10 is designed), U can not do that on the Line items. Pls contact functional consultant for clarification
Best approach is RRI (Jump targets) for _10 report to _14 report to give drill down capability at the document level.

Financial report for essbase and planning application

Hi,
Can any one please explain me what is the difference between creating financial report for essbase application and planning application.
Considering we will have Essbase cube for the planning application
Thanks in advance

Correct, the data that is stored in Essbase will be the same regardless of which connection type you use.
Data that is only stored in Planning can only be retrieved using a Planning connection. This includes Supporting Detail and SmartLists as these are stored in the Planning relational database.
As a general rule I always use an Essbase connection unless i specifically want to get supporting detail or smartlists but that is just me.
Hope this helps

Which URL to use to open a financial report from a Task list ?

Hi,
I've got a big issue in Hyperion Planning : I do not know which URL to use to open a financial report from a task list.
If I use the Smartcut (given when you do a right-click on the report, then Properties), a tab is opening (normal behaviour), but another tab is opening under the tab, which is very ugly, and moreover which prevent from using the PDF/HTML display icons !
Is someone know which URL to use to display correctly a financial report when opening it from a task list ?
It's an emergency, please help !
Thanks very much.
Virgile.
PS. : we use Internet Explorer 8 and we use 11.1.2.1 Hyperion Planning version
Edited by: 808808 on Jan 5, 2012 3:41 AM

Hi,
OK, thanks, it almost works !!
I've just a problem. 2 tabs are opening.
One is opening correctly and displays my report. I can display it in PDF/HTML.
But another tab is opening with this message : This window can now be closed since the application has been launched in a separate window. Note: Popup blockers may prevent this application from working properly.
Do you know why this tab is opening ?
Thanks very much for your help.

Hi,
I have similar issue and cannot find an answer.
My environment is 11.1.2.1 (upgrade from 11.1.1.3)
All applications working fine (planning, essbase, hfm).
I'm unable to change database connection to hfm (db change to essbase and Plannng works). Error says that I have wrong cluster/server configuration.
Question is how this configuration should lokks like. I already tested:
1. HFMProd - this is cluster name and Server1 as a server in HFMProd cluster
2. No cluster, just Server1
3. HFMProd and Server1 in plus Server1 separately
In all cases the same message.
When I open FR studio I'm able to see reports (from workspace also).
When I try to open report I have an error due to some links to the old server ip (I guess this is taken from connection info that I can not change)
What is more I can create new Planning report in studio, but can not open through workspace.
From Workspace I can manage reporting services so everything is visible correctly (or should be :) ).
Any idea?
regards
Karol

Financial Reporting - Planning 11.1.2.1 Data Source

We are trying to do salary planning, specifically new hire planning at an employee level. Is it possible to have an account of data type text that users could input into a form, and then build reports in Financial Reporting Studio that would display that text? I know there is an ADM driver that allows Financial Reporting Studio Data Sources to use Planning as a data source, but I wanted to survey for input on if and how well that works.

That's exactly what I did last year. Business wanted to see the Job description (they entered it on the form) of the new hires in a report.
In Workspace, create a Planning datasource and when you create your report, map your report to the Planning datasource.
You just need to login to Workspace > Explore > Tools > Database Connection Manager > New > Select Planning as the Type.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin documentation?

I'm very troubled with the way how Oracle sets up its website and naming. Sorry for venting a bit
But it's absolutely frustrating when people stumble upon this section
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/overview/index.html
and don't know where to look for a specific application.
Anyway, my question is, where is Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin guide located? which section?
I tried to google but no result.
Thanks for reading.

@Jeo123:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html
The first link you listed doesn't include Financial Reporting Studio. That's exactly my problem. Most clients I work with have Essbase, Planning, EPMA, and FRS. These are the 4 basic components of Hyperion system.
@RaulRodriguez:
The reporting piece is under reporting and analysis:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_4.htm
Thanks.....I actually found that on Google. But unfortunately, I'm on 11.1.2.1. And Oracle's site doesn't have a section set up for 11.1.2.1 like they do for 11.1.2.2. And the problem I have actually goes back to using "Usage Tracking" and setting up through BI+ server that you suggested last time. Since you said that certain method can only be done that way on 11.1.2.1, so I was looking for that doc. Otherwise, I could've used 11.1.2.2 instead.
Bummer.

Financial Reporting in 11.1.2.2 vs 9.3.3

We are moving from HFM with Financial Reporting 9.3.3 to version 11.1.2.2. One thing we've noticed is that when we first run a report in 11.1.2.2, it takes about 30 seconds for the report to prompt the user with the Point of View. After that, subsequent reports take about 5-10 seconds to arrive at the prompt.
If the user does not run any reports for another couple of hours, the first report will take a while and subsequent reports will be quick.
In 9.3.3, we did not have this situation. We did not have this disparity between the first report run and subsequent reports.
Is there some cache setting or other tweek that we could make ? or is this how it works in 11.1.2.2 and is something we'll have to get used to?
We are running SQL Server 2008 R2 on 64bit Windows for all server based applications. The servers have 16 GB.

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 PDF not Configured for Web Server

I have installed EPM 11.1.2.1, and HFM, Planning, Essbase, Financial Reporting are all working fine except when I do a report preview in the Workspace an error is received that PDF has not been configured for this Web Server.
I have uninstalled PDF and Financial Reporting then re-installed them but I am still getting the same error. Also, I when I tried to view report from Workspace in Financial Reporting Studio, I received the following error:
error number 400 Error Description:Form already displayed; can't show modally. Function: ShowMsg. Module:GblMethods.

Shared Services Security Issue with Financial Reporting - 11.1.1.3

Hi,
So we have some users that are provisioned in some groups. Those groups have Essbase Server Access and Planner access to an application. That access is working great. They have access to the app and they have access via Smartview to the cube.
Now we need them to be able to see all the Financial Reports (FR) created for that application. There are so many provisioning choices under 'Reporting and Analysis', that I'm not sure how to get this done correctly. Right now we have to assign 'Viewer' access and 'Explorer' access under 'Content Manager' tree in order for this to happen. I just think this seems wrong. We just need the user to be able to run and view a report from Workspace.
Any help is appreciated as this is a very green area for me.

Hi,
You will need both Viewer and Explorer access for users to run reports.
the reason is that without the Explorer, users will not be able to see any reports or the explorer in Workspace.
Without Viewer, users will not be able to view/open any of the reports. You also have to give report access to users anyway related to the groups.
You can see anll information about different security roles for Reporting and Analysis in the shared Services admin guide.
The documentation is the best place to start for any information needed and confirming what fulfills your needs.
Cheers
