Essbase Excel Add-In 11.1.2 Connection Problem

I've installed the excel add-in 11.1.2 on my Win7 machine. When I try to connect, the dialog box opens, I can enter the hostname/user/pass and it will give me a list of apps/dbs. I select the one I want and it hangs and eventually returns a Network Error. Any idea what gives? It's connecting at first, but then tells me it can't connect. Thoughts?

In case anyone else runs into something similar, the issue was with the server port settings. If you see something like this, look at the ports.

  • Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel ?

    Hey, we are using Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel even though Excel 2010 is not supported by Oracle. Do you know of any other users using it with Excel 2010? Any problems reported?

  • Essbase excel add-in database disappears

    Hi Gurus,
    I have this issue with Essbase Excel add-in.
    When I try to connect to the database, I can see the pop-up where I can specify the SERVER and then I can see the list of databases too. However, when I select the database that I want to connect to and hit OK, the names of all the databases disappear.
    What could be the issue with this?
    Any suggestion would be helpful.
    Thanks

    First question with the add-in -- do you have more than one instance of Excel.exe running? Check it in Task Manager -- if so, kill all of the instances and try again.

  • What version of Essbase Excel add-in support 64 bit Windows 7 on our PC?

    1) Can anyone tell us what is latest version of 64 bit Essbase Excel-add-in 11.1.1.3.x and will this latest version of Essbase Excel add-in support 64 bit Windows 7 on our PC?
    2) we downloaded Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 and was not able to connect to Essbase 11.1.1.3 server. It gave an error message - "This version is newer than the Essbase server." Is there a workaround? (we were hoping 11.1.2 would support 64 bit windows 7)
    ps. There is a knowlegebase article that teaches us how to get Smartview 11.1.2 to connect to Essbase. We could not quite follow the badly written KB artible, but Ms. V from Oracle tech support claims she was able to connect and she wrote the article.
    We did manage to get Smartview 11.1.2 to connect to Planning 11.1.1.3!!

    Thanks John and Jasmine.
    John,
    I am able to connect using Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 and see the list of Essbase server 11.1.1.3 app/databases. However when I tried to select one of the applications/databases, I get the Essbase warning "This version of Essbase 11.1.1.3) is older than the version of the Essbase API (11.1.2.0) you are using."
    I get sent back to Essbase system Login screen and am asked to select a app/database. Add-in keeps giving me the above message - none of the 11.1.1.3 databases would allow me to connect.
    I guess you guys did not experience this problem?

  • How to secure data transmission from Essbase Excel add-in to Essbase Server

    I have a requirement to secure the data transmission (encrypt) the data transmission from the Essbase excel add in on the client machine to the Essbase server. I have confirmed with Oracle support that the excel add-in and the API only transmit the data in binary from with no encryption.
    I wanted to see if anyone has implemented this before?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Technical support gave you the correct answer, it is
    not supported. You might check with Tim Tow
    http://www.appliedolap.com to see if either the
    Dodeca or ActiveOlap products support encryption.Glenn is correct in that Oracle doesn't support it. More specifically, the Essbase server itself does not support it.
    The other products mentioned in this thread, Smartview, Spreadsheet Services, Dodeca and ActiveOLAP, all can talk to the middle tier via https and are thus encrypted through that portion of the transaction. However, the communication from the middle tier, Analytic Provider Services in the case of System 9, talks to Essbase via TCP/IP unencrypted. If your middle tier/Essbase server connections are not 'sniffable', then essentially they are secured (albeit not encrypted).

  • Essbase Excel Add-in for Excel 2013

    Hi There,
    I recently upgrade from Excel 2010 to 2013, it seems Essbase Excel Add-in (1.1.2.2) has some issue with Excel 2013, does anybody experience this too, any advice on this?
    Thanks

    The excel add-in is not certified to work with Excel 2013 and a matter of fact, the only version of Smart View certified with it is 11.1.2..5 which just came out. The Essbase Add-in has not been updated in a shile and has been susetted by Oracle so there will be no new versions of it

  • Essbase Excel Add-In (11.1.2.1) and Office 2010

    I was wondering if anyone knows if the Essbase Excel Add-In (v11.1.2.1) is compatible in Office 2010 (64-bit)?
    I found some search results from about 6-8 months ago saying that it was supported in Office 2010, but not in the 64-bit edition. Does anyone know if this has changed and if this is in fact supported?
    If not supported has it been tested to at least work?
    Thank you in advance.

    Have a read of the following on Oracle Support - Support for Office 2010 in Essbase Excel Add-In and Smart View [ID 1191235.1]
    Cheers

  • Essbase excel add-on error after installing IR Studio.

    Hyperion software compatibility issues?
    Getting Essbase excel add-on error ("Error 1040007 Cannot find message database") after installing Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1. We are able to consistently reproduce the error on several workstations.
    Any ideas?
    Thx,
    Ernesto

    Try installing IR first, followed by the Essbase client. I think that worked for us. I can't recall what our path looked like in that scenario I just remember if we did it in that order things worked fine. I think Support said there is no certain "install order" that truly fixes the problem, that you have to manipluate the path by hand. But I'm pretty sure installing IR first worked in our enviro.
    I do not know of a way to install IR Studio without the Essbase components, my understanding from Support is that they changed the product install thinking it was better this way, they learned after the fact it actually causes the problem you experienced. I would imagine they've changed/fixed the install behavior again in post 9.3.1 releases, but haven't heard.

  • Will Oracle be making any enchancements to the Essbase Excel Add-in?

    Will Oracle be making any enchancements to the Essbase Excel Add-in?

    If you use vb script, you can use the following:
    ' Step 3. Activate Essbase Excel Add-Ins
    Set myAddIn = XL.AddIns.Add("C:\Hyperion\Essbase\Bin\essexcln.xll")
    myAddIn.Installed = False
    myAddIn.Installed = True
    You need to find the equivalent of the above within excel vba.
    And also the right location of the essexcln.xll.
    With citrix, I guess the issue is with the user profile under
    \Documents and Settings\ that need to be adjusted, but I have
    no further information on this.

  • Unable to find/install Essbase Excel Add-in

    Hello,
    When I installed Essbase on this computer, for some reason we did not have MS Office installed and so the Add-in was not installed automatically.
    Now, I cannot find the essexeln.xll file in the bin director and Excel does not show it as an Add-in. The Excel version I am using is 9.0.3821 SR-1.
    How do I install this add-in on my computer? Thanks.
    -- Adi

    Installing the Essbase Excel add-in is pretty harmless, and I assume this is on a PC not a server correct?
    If this is 9.3.1 and if it's on a PC just run the setup.exe for the "Hyperion Essbase Release 931 Client Windows Installer" - do you still have that downloaded??
    It should fit on a flash drive if you just want to take it over to the PC in question and run the setup.exe. There's the .exe, a .jar and a .inf file that comes with the install.
    Be sure you're logged on as an Admin on the PC before you install, that's easiest.
    Once you install do a reboot just for fun (probably not required but given the history of your install) then go back to your Start | Programs menu and run that register add-in item from above.
    Good luck, hope this helps,
    Karen

  • Excel add-in Terminal Service, not connection is made

    This sounds liek an issue we have seen a number of times.<BR><BR>When you first connect you will need write access to the essbase\ folder on the machine where Essbase add-in is installed.
