A Property Information

JConsole is the Java Monitoring and Management Console used to define and manage the various properties for Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting and the applications that run with it, across multiple servers. The JConsole executable (Jconsole.exe) is located in the bin directory of the Java Development kit (JDK) — <install dir>/jdk. When you select Attributes on the MBeans tab, you can view and set properties and values.

You can run the Financial Reporting Configuration properties under the Oracle Home\product\financialreporting\bin directory using FRConfig.cmd (or FRConfig.sh for platforms other than Microsoft Windows). Double-click the command to launch JConsole, and then connect to and modify the Financial Reporting MBean values.

Note the following:

  • The command file is only available on the web application server.
  • The web application does not need to be running.
  • After making changes, restart all services.
  • You do not need to restart all the services after changing print server and scheduler server.

InstalledDir ${home.reports.lib} Where the Financial Reportingscheduler server persists its state in scheduler.xml
IsDoubleRoundingRequiredForZeroDecimalPlaces false

Double-rounds data values where number formatting decimal places is set to zero.

When set to true Financial Reporting tries to double round the value for decimal places = 0. For example, 0.49999999 is displayed as 1.

When set to false, Financial Reporting tries to single round the value for decimal places = 0. For example, 0.49999999 is displayed as 0.

MaxEmailAttachmentSize 0

Maximum attachment size for emails. Values or 0 or less means no limit for attachments. Specify the value in kilobytes.

The following example sets maximum attachment size to 128 KB:

AttachmentSize = 128

MaxExpandAllCount   In Member Selection, the maximum items to display when clicking "Expand All"
MaxImportFileSize 0

Maximum file size for files imported to Financial Reporting. By default, there is no limit on import file size.

For example, if MaxImportFileSize is set to 1000, the import file size is limited to 1 MB. This means, importing any file, including .zip files, larger than 1 MB fails. This restriction also applies to files within a .zip file. If the .zip file size is less than 1 MB, but the actual size of a compressed file in the .zip file is more than 1 MB, the import fails.

MaxPortUsage 0 Upper threshold for number of ports used by the windows system after which report queries will start queuing up until some get released. A value of "0" means that no limit is imposed.
MaxSearchResult 50 Maximum number of members that will be returned as a result of a member selection search query.
MaximumCalculationIterations 5

Report Server Calculation Setting. Specifies the maximum number of calculation iterations for all grids and cells.

During the calculation process of a grid, it may be necessary to evaluate a cell multiple times due to reference precedence. This mostly occurs in grids with references to other grids. If there are no circular references and calculation cells are retuning Error, increasing the value may resolve the problem.

Note: A high number may degrade grid execution performance.

MemberSelectionDoInitialSearch false If set to true, the member selector searches for the member that was previously selected and expands the tree to where it is located.
MemberSelectionRowsPerPage 20

Number of rows returned per page as a result of the member selection search query.

Only standard values of 5, 10, 20 ,50, 100, 250, and 500 are recommended to be used for this property under MBeans.

MinimumConnectionInactiveTime 300000

Connection Manager Setting. The Connection Manager is a subcomponent of the Report Server, Web Application and Financial Reporting Studio.

Minimum time (in milliseconds) before an inactive data source connection is closed. The default is to close connections that have remained inactive for 300000 milliseconds (5 minutes).

MissingValuesAreZeroInFormulasInHFM true Report Server calculation setting. For Financial Management data sources, whether to treat missing values as zero in formula calculations.
  • False means that missing values are not the same as zero values in formula calculations,
  • True means that missing values are treated as a value of zero in formula calculations

Note: This property is only effective for Oracle Hyperion Financial Management data sources.

NumberDecimalPlacesForZero 2 How many decimal places a number must have before it is considered a zero (0)
NumberDecimalPlacesForZeroInSuppression 5

How many digits to the right of the decimal place are evaluated when determining if a numeric value is zero in conditional suppression and conditional formatting.

When you do conditional suppression/format against a ‘Value’ of ‘0’, the comparison is to compare the value to absolute zero (0).

For example, using the default property of 5, a value of 0.00001 is considered zero.
