xviii s Hyperion Business Modeling Results Analysis and Reports Guide

Chapter Overview

1
The analysis of results for a model or enterprise model is a critical component of
business modeling, and provides a powerful tool to evaluate the viability of a
model, or to highlight areas within the model that may require fine-tuning, or
alternative strategies.
After you have created and calculated your Hyperion Business Modeling project,
you can view and save calculated results by saving the project to Hyperion Essbase
or another ODBC compliant database. You can also communicate project
information and results throughout your organization by using Hyperion Analyzer
to distribute the results.
Hyperion Business Modeling offers a variety of report formats for both enterprise
models and individual models. Using reports, you can generate and view model
data and results in a variety of ways. In the Reports workspace, you can create,
print, and save detailed reports on calculated results and basic project information.
Add these printed reports to your project binder.
This guide contains the following chapters:
q "Getting Model Results" on page 21

After you build, verify, and calculate a model or scenario, you can view the
calculated operational and financial results for the current period onscreen. To
document your project, you can generate and print detailed reports, as outlined in
Chapter 4, “Model Reports.”
You can save calculated results by saving the project to Hyperion Essbase or a
ODBC compliant database. Finally, you can communicate project information and
results throughout your organization by using Hyperion Analyzer to distribute the

This chapter covers the following topics:
q “Viewing Onscreen Calculated Results” on page 22
q “Using the Results Workspace” on page 26
q “Sorting Data” on page 28
q “Exporting Results to Microsoft Excel” on page 30
q “Printing Results” on page 31
q “Results Views Descriptions” on page 32
q “Saving Results” on page 34
q “Deploying Results Automatically” on page 44


Getting Model Results

Viewing Onscreen Calculated Results
After you calculate your model, you can get the following quick results in the
Model workspace:
q Box Costs/Revenues
q Regular View: Model Costs, Revenues, and Net Profit
q EP View: Model Revenue, Economic Costs and Economic Profit
The quick results are a subset of all the results available. To view results by box
type, go to the Results workspace. To generate comprehensive reports on results,
go to the Reports workspace.

Displaying Negative Costs
In the Detail view, any negative cost flowing from a box is taken into account
when displaying the net profit.
Reports that have a Cost header show all costs with a positive value. Any negative
costs are listed with a negative symbol (-) or brackets, depending on the locale
specified in the Workstation Settings.
In reports that do not have Cost and Revenue columns headers, the financial
column represents the Net Profit or Economic Profit, which is calculated using the
following formula:

Revenue - (Negative Cost) = Positive Net Profit or Economic Profit
(Depending on the view)



Box Costs/Revenues
After you successfully calculate your model or scenario, select the Detail tab to see
the costs and/or revenues for any selected box. Box costs are presented both as a
total value and as a per unit value. Other calculated results include utilization (if
2
applicable), operational flow, financial flow, and total to per unit calculations.

q Double-click the new box, if it is a linked box in the Detail view of the
Display window.



Regular View: Model Costs, Revenues, and Net Profit
When the model is successfully calculated in Regular View, the Model Summary
window is displayed, showing the total costs, revenues, and net profit for the entire
model. This window is available in the Results workspace as well.

To see more detailed results, double-click the border to jump directly to the
Reports workspace. The Model Flows and Financials - by Category report is
automatically generated and displayed in the Display window.

EP View: Model Revenue, Economic Costs and Economic
Profit
When the model is successfully calculated in EP View, the Model Summary
window is displayed, showing the total revenue, economic cost and economic
profit for the entire model. This window is available in the Results workspace as
well. If the model was previously calculated in Regular View, the Net Profit results
are also displayed.

➤ To see more detailed results, double-click the border to jump directly to the
Reports workspace. A Model Flows and Financials - by Category report is
automatically generated and displayed in the Display window.



Regular View: Show or Hide Previous Costs
After the model is successfully calculated, the results are displayed in the Model
Summary window. When you change data and recalculate, the current results are
replaced by the new values.
2
If you want to view and compare the previous results, right-click on the summary
results to display the Show Previous Results pop-up menu. The previous
and current results are displayed side-by-side for a quick and easy comparison.

You can hide the previous results by right-clicking the results and selecting Hide
Previous Results.



Using the Results Workspace
To view and compare calculated results for multiple boxes, switch to the Results
workspace. There are three predefined onscreen results views that you can
customize to suit your needs. If you like, you can export these views to an Excel
spreadsheet.
This section is organized as follows:
q “Viewing Calculated Results for Multiple Boxes” on page 26
q “Exporting Results to Microsoft Excel” on page 30
q “Printing Results” on page 31
q “Results Views Descriptions” on page 32

Viewing Calculated Results for Multiple Boxes
In the Results workspace, you can select from one of three predefined views. The
data is presented in a spreadsheet format. You can customize the view by adding
or removing boxes, or changing the order of the columns.

Note: Unlike a spreadsheet, the results view has limited functionality. If you want to
manipulate the data, save your results to Microsoft Excel.

You can view results in either Regular View or EP View. Depending on the view
that you select, the only differences are:
q The drop-down list allows you to select flows for either Net Profit or
Economic Profit.
q The column header displays Net Profit or Economic Profit.



➤ To view multiple box results:
1. From the Model workspace, select the Results workspace.
If the Results workspace tab is disabled, it means the current project is 2
uncalculated. Calculate the project and try again. Otherwise, the Results
workspace is displayed.

2. If you want, select a different results view from the Results drop-down list.
3. To change the order of the columns in the Display window, select a column
header and drag it over another column header.
The selected column is repositioned to the right of the chosen column.
4. You can remove some or all of the boxes from the box list.
q To remove all boxes, click Remove All.
q To remove individual boxes, select a box and click Remove.
The boxes are removed from the list and from the spreadsheet display.



5. To add to the list of boxes displayed, select a box type from the Type
drop-down list.
q To add all boxes of the selected box type, select All from the Box
drop-down list.
q To add individual boxes, select them from the Box drop-down list.
The boxes are added to the list and to the spreadsheet display.
6. To view details on a box, double-click its row to go to the Reports workspace.
A Box Flows and Financials - by Category report is automatically generated
and displayed in the Display window.

Sorting Data
After you add boxes to your model, you can sort and view a list of boxes on the
Results table in the Results workspace by clicking on any column header (such as
Type, ID, Name, Flow, Units, and so on) to rearrange the list.
The data can be sorted in ascending or descending order; however, the sort is for
the current view only. The new sort order is not saved when you close the model.
The order of the boxes reverts to the original sequence when the model is
reopened.

➤ To sort boxes in the Building Blocks tab:
1. In the Project window in the Model workspace, select the Building Blocks
tab.
2. Right-click the name of the model containing the boxes you want to sort.
The sort type pop-up menu displays.
3. Select the sort type from the pop-up menu. You can display the Box IDs in

By default, this view shows flow and financial data for all the demands in your
model. The column headings include Name, Flow, Units, and Net Profit.

Flow - Economic Profit
By default, this view shows flow and financial data for all the demands in your
model. The column headings include Name, Flow, Units, and Economic Profit.



Flow - Costs
By default, this view has flow and box costs/revenue for the activities in your
model. The column headings include Name, Flow, Units, Unit Total Cost, and 2
Total Cost. If there are no activities in your model, all boxes are displayed.

Flow - Economic Costs
By default, this view has flow and box costs/revenue for the activities in your
model. The column headings include Name, Flow, Units, Per Unit Economic Cost,
and Total Economic Cost. If there are no activities in your model, all boxes are
displayed.

Utilization
See flow and utilization figures for capacity-constrained resources, supplies,
and/or inventories. The column headings include Name, Flow, Units, and
%Utilization. The default for this view is all resources. If there are no resources
then all supplies are shown.

Note: This is the only view available when the model has broken constraints.



Saving Results
After you calculate your model, you can save the results to either a Hyperion
Essbase multidimensional database or a relational database. The saved results
include financial results, operational flow, utilization, inventory, resources and
revenue costs. If your model includes tag sets, you may choose to save results with
or without the tag set data.
When saving to a relational database, the date and time of the last modification are
also recorded to allow you to determine the status of the results in comparison to
the current state of the model.

CAUTION: If you are saving a model, scenario or period to a relational
database, and you close Hyperion Business Modeling before the save is
complete, the data may be corrupted.

With a relational database, you can also decide whether you want to save detailed
activity information. Although this information is saved relatively quickly to
Essbase, when you save this information to a relational database, the save may take
a significant amount of time to complete, depending on the number of existing
paths for activity boxes. For this reason, a separate selection must be made to save
these results to a relational database. For instructions, see “Saving Database Model
Results to a Relational Database” on page 42.
Reports that have a Cost header show all costs with a positive value. Any negative
costs are listed with a negative symbol (-) or brackets, depending on the locale
specified in the Workstation Settings. In reports that do not have Cost and Revenue
columns headers, the financial column represents the Net Profit or Economic
Profit, which is calculated using the following formula:

Revenue - (Negative Cost) = Positive Net Profit or Economic Profit
(Depending on the view)

For additional information on relational database tables, see the Hyperion Business
Modeling Database Tables Reference Guide.



Saving Results to a Hyperion Essbase Database
In the Model workspace, after you have calculated your model, you can save the
results to a Hyperion Essbase multidimensional database.
2
If your model contains tag sets, and you have asked for tag results to be saved, a
dialog displays asking you which tags and boxes you need.

CAUTION: To ensure you obtain the correct results when saving to
Essbase, especially for models that contain recursive loops, save only one
database to an application.

Refer to the appropriate procedure below to save your results to Essbase:
q “To save model results to a Hyperion Essbase database:” on page 36
q “To create a custom result set:” on page 39

Selecting Dimensions to be saved
When saving results to Essbase, you can select which dimensions you want to save
on the Save Results to Essbase dialog.
After specifying the location in which you want to store the results, you need to
select the type of results you want to save from the Result Set drop-down. There
are three pre-defined result sets, or you can create a custom set of results. The
pre-defined result sets include the following choices:
– Operational
– Financial
– Standard (which includes both Operational and Financial)
The dimensions that are included in each result set are displayed in the Dimensions
window. Related members show in the Members window, and any restrictions
show in the Selection Rules window.

original model name.



➤ To save database model Detailed Activity Results to a relational database:
1. From the Model workspace, choose Results > Save Detailed Activity
Results.
The detailed activity results are saved to the relational database. This action
may take a significant amount of time, depending on the number of paths that
exist for the activity boxes.
To exit the save without saving the results, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to end
the task.

Deploying Results Automatically
After you save data to a multidimensional or relational database, you can modify
the data outside of Hyperion Business Modeling using external spreadsheets or
other software packages (such as Hyperion Application Link, Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Access, and so on).
When the external modifications are complete, use the Automation feature to
validate the changed data, calculate, and save the new results to a relational
database, file, or OLAP database.

Data Validation
After the data of a model saved to a relational database has been modified
externally (using spreadsheets or other software packages such as Hyperion
Application Link, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and so on), it must be
validated against Hyperion Business Modeling’s constraints and conditions before
the model can be opened.
To flag the changes for validation, the user must set the external update (extupdate)
flag in the HABM_Models database table to Yes (Y) before opening the model in
Hyperion Business Modeling. When Hyperion Business Modeling is next opened,
the first user to access the model is presented with a dialog asking the user to
validate the data before loading.

CAUTION: If the data is modified externally, and the external
update flag is not set, the validation will not run. Although the
model may open, the data may be corrupted.



If there are inconsistencies in the data, error messages are displayed to advise of
the error condition. Corrections must be made in the database.

Validated Conditions 2
The data validation procedure validates the following conditions:
q Limits on units, variables, and so on, including the number of items per box,
are observed
q All formulas are correct and in the proper format
q All totalers have correct ranges that do not overlap
q Two periods with the same name do not exist
q Two scenarios with the same name do not exist
q Reserved words are not used for unit or period names (as specified in
Appendix D: Reserved Words)
If the validation fails, a dialog displays advising that there are model validation
errors. Check the validation.log file to determine the types of errors that
have been generated, correct the errors in the database, and then reload the model.
If errors are encountered during loading, a dialog displays advising that general
errors have been encountered, for example, with global data, tag sets and so on.
Check the error.log file to determine the types of errors that have been
generated, correct the errors, and then reload the model.

Note: If a data object that is still in use within the project has been removed externally,
this error is detected during the loading of the model, rather than during validation. An
appropriate dialog is produced and the error is displayed in the error.log file.

The external update (extupdate) flag in the HABM_models table is automatically
reset to No once the database is saved with Hyperion Business Modeling.



Automation Feature
The Automation feature allows you to automatically verify, calculate, and save
modified data back to Hyperion Business Modeling from an external application
or database.

Tip: Hyperion Business Modeling must be located on the same machine as the
automation server, and a container must be created that connects to the desired data
source.

You create a customized script to define the container, model, period, and scenario
for the results required. You can save multiple sets of results by adding the next
script to the first one, and adding as many as required before running the script.
Refer to “Creating the Automation Feature Script File” on page 48 for detailed
instructions and examples.
The new results are used to repopulate the Results tables with the updated data.
Only one automation client at a time is allowed to connect to the server. If the
server is busy executing a script from another client, the second client’s request is
queued, and processed when the server is free. When the modified results are
saved, the changes are immediately reflected in the data in the specified container.

CAUTION: Users should be aware that the application does not
track changes made to the original data, whether there are multiple
changes by one user, or changes made by multiple users.

Before opening the model in Hyperion Business Modeling, the modified data may
be validated by the system. See “Deploying Results Automatically” on page 44 for
information regarding this process.
Before you can use the Automation feature to deploy the new results back to
Hyperion Business Modeling, you must:
q Synchronize the client and server settings in the Automation.ini file.
q Create a script file in any text editor to specify the name of the container,
model, and period for the results that are to be saved.



Synchronizing Client and Server Settings
Before using the Automation feature for the first time, you must synchronize the
client and server settings in the Automation.ini file. 2
➤ To synchronize the client and server settings:
1. On the client, navigate to the folder in which the Hyperion Business Modeling
automation client is installed.
2. Double-click Automation.ini to open the file.
3. Verify that the following default settings in the Automation.ini file are
the same for both the client and server.

Client/
Server Setting Description
Computer server_computer The name of the computer where the server
_name is installed. This information is entered by
the user.
Port 9999 Do not change unless the default port (9999)
is being used by another application.
Service HBM Name of the service on the server. Do not
change.
Policy policy Name of the policy file that is distributed
with the server installation. Do not change.
Archive hbm.jar Name of the archive where the Java class
files are located. Do not change.

4. Save the Automation.ini file with the verified settings.
5. Select Start > Programs > Hyperion Solutions > Hyperion Business
Modeling 3.0 > Automation Server to automatically start the server.
Modeling 3.0 > Automation Client to automatically start the client.
7. Enter the path to your automated scripts. For more information, see “Creating
the Automation Feature Script File” on page 48
8. Select Start to run the selected script file.



Creating the Automation Feature Script File
To use the Automation feature, you must create a script file in any text editor to
specify the name of the container, model, and period for the results that are to be
saved.
The following commands are used in the script file to define the container, model,
period, and scenario.

Script File Commands
open container name,model name
load_Model_Period period name (optional)
load_Scenario_Period scenario name, period name (optional)
verify
calculate
save_results container name,model name
save_Tag_Set_results tags:tagName1,tagName2; boxes:boxID1,boxID2
(optional)
Note: You can write “ALL” or “NONE” instead of individual tag or box names.

save_EP_results container name,model name

Although you may not use all the commands in one script file, the commands that
are used must be used in the order shown. For example, Open must be the first
command, and if there is a Load, this command must come before Verify. The
Verify command must be included in the script, even if the model is already
verified.
The command sequence is crucial when saving tag set results. You must use both
the save_results command, then the save_Tag_Set_results, in that sequence, in
order to obtain complete tag set results.

CAUTION: You cannot have any blank lines in the script.



When creating the script file, if you are saving from a relational database to a
relational database, the model name must be the same. You cannot save the
following configurations during automation:
q From a model (.md) file to a relational database 2
q From a model file to a model file
If you are saving to Essbase, the model name does not have to be the same as the
original; however, it must have eight characters or less, and no spaces. Refer to
Appendix B, “Hyperion® Essbase Naming Conventions” for information on
restricted characters and naming conventions.
You can create a batch file to run multiple scripts. All associated periods for a
model are also saved.

Sample scripts

Example 1: Saving from a database to the same database
open Oracle,easy
load_Model_Period Annual
verify
calculate
save_results Oracle,easy

Example 2: Saving from a flat file to Essbase
open Local Storage Area,OKPlastics

Chapter Getting Enterprise Model

3 Results

After you build, verify, and calculate an enterprise model, you can view the
calculated operational and financial results onscreen. To document your project,
you can generate and print detailed reports, as outlined in Chapter 5, “Enterprise
Model Reports.”
You can save calculated results by saving the project to Hyperion Essbase or an
ODBC/JDBC compliant database.
This chapter covers the following topics:
q “Viewing Onscreen Calculated Results” on page 54
q “Saving Enterprise Model Results” on page 54
– “Saving Results to a Hyperion Essbase Database” on page 55
– “Saving Results to a Relational Database” on page 64


Getting Enterprise Model Results

Viewing Onscreen Calculated Results
After you calculate your model, you can get quick results in the Summary window
in the Enterprise Model workspace.
The Summary window displays the total cost, revenue and profit for each model
in the enterprise model, plus the totals for the entire enterprise model.

Enterprise-Wide

The quick results are a consolidation of all the results available. To view
comprehensive results, use one or more of the following methods:
q Save the results to Essbase or a relational database, then view the results in an
Excel spreadsheet, as explained in “Saving Enterprise Model Results” on
page 54.
q Generate specific reports in the Reports workspace, as outlined in “Enterprise
Model Reports” on page 137.

Saving Enterprise Model Results
After you calculate your enterprise model, the results can be saved in one of two
ways:
q “Saving Results to a Hyperion Essbase Database” on page 55
q “Saving Results to a Relational Database” on page 64
The saved results include financial results, operational flow, utilization, inventory,
resources and revenue costs.
When saving to a relational database, the date and time of the last modification are
also recorded to allow you to determine the status of the results in comparison to
the current state of the model.
For additional information on relational database tables, see the Hyperion Business
Modeling Database Tables Reference.



Saving Results to a Hyperion Essbase Database
In the Enterprise Model workspace, after you have calculated your model, you can
save the results to a Hyperion Essbase multidimensional database.

CAUTION: To ensure you obtain the correct results when saving to
Essbase, save only one database to an application.

3
Refer to the appropriate procedure below to save your results to Essbase:
q “To save results of models that are part of an enterprise model to a Hyperion
Essbase database:” on page 60
q “To save enterprise model results:” on page 62

Selecting Dimensions to be saved
When saving results to Essbase, you can select which dimensions you want to save
on the Save Results to Essbase dialog.
After specifying the location in which you want to store the results, you need to
select the type of results you want to save from the Result Set drop-down. There
are three pre-defined result sets, or you can create a custom set of results. The
pre-defined result sets include the following choices:
– Operational
– Financial
The dimensions that are included in each result set are displayed in the Dimensions
window. Related members show in the Members window, and any restrictions
show in the Selection Rules window.

CAUTION: When saving to Essbase, if one member of a dimension has the
same name as a member in another dimension, you cannot save the
enterprise results to Essbase. For example, if you have a category called
“salary,” and a box called “salary,” Essbase cannot distinguish the difference
between the members, and the save will fail.
To correct this problem, determine which member names have been
duplicated, and change the appropriate member names.



➤ To create a custom result set:
1. From the Enterprise Model workspace, select Results > Save to Essbase >
Save Model Results.

3. From the Model Name list, clear any models for which you do not want to
save results. By default, all models contained in the enterprise model are
checked.



4. From the Database Name drop-down list, select the name of the database
where the results for the selected model are to be stored. To create a new result
set, type in the name for the new database.

Note: The results for each model must be stored in a separate database.

3

5. In the Dimensions window, select the individual dimensions that you want to
save.
As soon as you modify a pre-defined result set, the name in the Result Set
drop-down changes to Custom, and the Save and Delete buttons are enabled.
Related members show in the Members window, and any restrictions show in
the Selection Rules window.



corporat

Note: When selecting or de-selecting a dimension, it is important to read the
message in the Selection Rules window. Some members cannot be selected if
others are not also selected. For example, Results (Financial) requires that Net
Profit also be selected, and Results (Operational) needs Operational Units.

At a minimum, the following dimensions must be selected:


Operational Scenario
Time Period
To Box




Financial Scenario
Time Period
To Box
Results (Financial)
Operational Units 3
6. When you complete the selection of dimensions, enter a name for the custom
result set in the Result Set text box, then click Save. The name of the custom
result set is added to the list in the drop-down.
7. Click OK to save the results for the selected models and dimensions to
Essbase.



➤ To save results of models that are part of an enterprise model to a Hyperion
Essbase database:
2. From the Enterprise Model workspace, select Results > Save to Essbase >
Save Model Results.

4. Review the list of models on the Model Name list, and uncheck any models
for which you do not want to save results. By default, all models contained in
the enterprise model are checked. You can save results for all models.
