Excel running within IBM FSR Disables Smartview addin

Is anyone using smartview within IBM Cognos FSR? We are experiencing frequent errors when Excel Disables the HFM addin. It does nto happen when running excel outside of FSR.

I enabled the COM Add-in, but I still get the same error.
I then tried this,
1. I disabled all Excel and Com add-ins.
2. Removed the Smart view add-in from Excel using the "COM Add-ins" dialog.
3. Exited from Excel.
4. Opened Excel and added the Smart View add-in from the Excel using the "COM Add-ins" dialog. (I browsed and selected it from the file system)
5. Enabled the Smart View Com add-in.
6. I then exited from Excel.
When I open excel again the following 3 dialogs pop up.
Dialog 1 with message: "Smart View handled an unknown exception by Microsoft Office".
I press the Ok button and then I get the following dialog.
Dialog 2 with message: "Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I leave the "Restart Microsoft Office Excel check box" checked and press the "Don't Send" button. I then get the following dialog.
Dialog 3 with message: " Excel experienced a serious problem with 'Oracle Hyperion smart view for office, fusion edition' add-in. If you have seen this message multiple times, you should disable this add-in and check to see if an update is available. Do you want to disable this add-in?. I select "Yes" because if I select "No" I go into a loop that repeats these 3 dialogs.

SmartView addin using VB

Has anyone seen a problem when using the Smartview addin with VB? Recently upgraded the SV patch to (9.3.1.6) to fix Excel 2007 from shutting down abnormally.
I have a problem using the VB to copy/paste data with the addin. I can get the entire code to perform correctly if I disable the addin. However, that is defeating the purpose of the automation. I have it set up to connect, retrieve, then copy/paste values into a new workbook to send to users.

I tried using the code in the supplied example, and I am still unable to export to Excel.
I am getting an output file, but it is 0 bytes in size (empty file).
If I change the export type to crReportExportFormatTabSeparatedText, then I get a file, an ugly file, but it does have the data.
Here is the code as it looks now
01   Dim myBytes As ByteArray
02   If strExpType = "14" Then ' word format
03 myBytes = rcd.PrintOutputController.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatMSWord)
04   ElseIf strExpType = "30" Or strExpType = "27" Then ' excel format
05 Dim exportOptions As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ExportOptions
06 exportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatMSExcel
07 Dim ExcelexportOptions As New ExcelExportFormatOptions
08 ExcelexportOptions.BaseAreaGroupNumber = 1
09 ExcelexportOptions.BaseAreaType = CrAreaSectionKindEnum.crAreaSectionKindReportHeader
10 ExcelexportOptions.ConstantColWidth = 20
11 ExcelexportOptions.ConvertDatesToStrings = True
12 ExcelexportOptions.StartPageNumber = 1
13 ExcelexportOptions.EndPageNumber = 5
14 ExcelexportOptions.ExcelTabHasColumnHeadings = True
15 ExcelexportOptions.ExportPageAreaPairType = CrExportPageAreaKindEnum.crExportPageAreaKindForEachPage
16 ExcelexportOptions.ExportPageBreaks = True
17 ExcelexportOptions.MaintainRelativeObjectPosition = True
18 ExcelexportOptions.ShowGridlines = False
19 ExcelexportOptions.UseConstantColWidth = True
20
21 exportOptions.FormatOptions = ExcelexportOptions
22
23 myBytes = rcd.PrintOutputController.ExportEx(exportOptions)
24   Else ' PDF Format
25 myBytes = rcd.PrintOutputController.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF)
26   End If
Again, changing line 06 to
    exportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatTabSeparatedText
produces results.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 v1

Start SmartVIew Addin with VBA

Hi,
I need to activate the Addin of SmartView via VBA code from an Excel Worksheet.
So far I created a worksheet and added the module SmartViewVBA to the VBA-Project.
I wrote a program to start the addin:
Sub Open_SMARTVIEW()
AddIns.Add Filename:="C:\Oracle\SmartView\Bin\HsTbar.xla"
AddIns("Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition").Installed = True
End Sub
This added the HSTbar.xla to my VBA-projects. I also got the tool bar activated by this.
In the extras / addins I see that the SmartView Addin is activated. Nevertheless all SmartView Buttons do not react when I click on them and I am missing the SmartView menu bar.
Has anybody an idea or hint, what needs to be done in addition?
Best regards,
Helge

Smart View is a com add-in so you cannot unload it this way you would need to use code to change the 'connect' state of the com add-in:
Function LoadSV(enable As Boolean)
Dim oAin As AddIn
Dim comAin As COMAddIn
For Each oAin In Application.AddIns
Debug.Print oAin.Name
If oAin.Name = "HsTbar.xla" Then
Debug.Print oAin.Installed
oAin.Installed = enable
End If
Next
For Each comAin In Application.COMAddIns
Debug.Print comAin.Description
If comAin.Description = "Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition" Then
Debug.Print comAin.Connect
comAin.Connect = enable
End If
Next
End Function
This will vary based on your smart view version and OS. In fact in windows 7 you would need to be running Excel as an admin and this in unlikely. Is there some reason you are needing to unload SV in VBA?

Unable to click on excel object within a word 2010 document

Whenever a user tries to click an Excel Object within a Word 2010 document, the error "Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occured and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you
like to repair this feature now?". Clicking YES runs a repair on Office 2010, which does not resolve the issue. Clicking No gets you the following prompt: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your
computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed."
Operating System: Windows 7, Office Version: 2010
I've tried the following to resolve the issue, without success:
Running the Office Repair as suggested in the prompt
There are no open dialog boxes in Excel
There are no COM add-ins or Excel add-ins active in Excel
Starting Word in Safe Mode (clicking CTRL on open) does not resolve the issue.
"Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" is unchecked in Excel.
I am able to edit this document with no problem on a machine running Windows 7 with Office 2007 or even office 2013.

Hi,
Do you see this problem if you start Windows in Safe Mode? You might want to have a try and verify result, some outside application may be preventing the OLE server/client connection.
Have you ever checked your anti virus? Try to disable it and check again.
Please make sure to install any updates to your system or Office products. It's important to make it up to date.
Try to go to your task manager to kill any excel process and then try again.
I have seen a case that user finally fixed this with a clean uninstallation and reinstallation, if issue presists with all above steps, you might want to do a completely reinstallation and then try again.
Thanks,

Smartview addin not seen

Hi,
we had installed smartview in one of the users machine. Hyperion add-in doesnt appear in the ribbon. We went to the add-ins of excel options and added HsTbar.xla. But still we dont see the add in.
We also dont see HsAddin.dll in the active application add-ins in excel options. We tried to add this by going to com add ins. But we get the error "The connected state of office add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed".
The issue started since when the user reinstalled excel 2007.
Please advice.
Regards,
Ragav.
Edited by: ragavhere on Apr 26, 2011 7:44 PM - error while adding hsaddin.dll.

Any chance it is in the Disabled Items?

AMD GPU fan runs constantly even after disabling DGPU

I have a HP-Pavilion dv6 6121TX, with AMD 6770m gpu.
The fan of the gpu runs constantly even after disabling it using the following command
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
the output for "cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" is as follows
0:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
It shows that the DGPU is off and yet the fan for the same runs continuously at full speed.
Would be really grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you.

You might also try a different battery if you have access to one. Unfortunately, many of the replacement batteries being shipped by Apple are defective. They don't fit properly into the battery bay. I suspect that if the quality control is this poor, then it seems likely that other problems will arrise as well. Check carefully that the battery itself is not overheating. Another possibility which also happened to me is that after installing the last upgrade to the operating system, one or more of the third party widgets became problematic, causing the same problem you describe. After removing all third party widgets, the problem stopped. Good Luck

Smartview Addin upgrade and APS

We are on EPM 11.1.2.600 and APS version is 11.1.2.102 as is the Smartview addin. Business is looking at the feature set in later releases of the Smartview addin, specifically Smart Query and some of the VBA extensions of later versions.
We are currently an old Essbase addin shop, with plans to go to Smartview in the near future, so I am not as 'up to speed' on Smartview. My question is if we upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Smartview do I need to upgrade the APS server also? I downloaded 11.1.2.5.x and was able to connect to Essbase and planning without issues but I want to make sure all features/functionality is available. Thanks.

May I know which is your APS server , its recommended to use Web logic for latest version . May be there can be in compatibility if its web sphere !!

Event 701 - The Application Impact Telemetry (AIT) Agent is not running because AIT is disabled.

In a survey of several Windows 7 systems, in the Application-Experience Program-Telemetry log, I found daily instances of Information Event 701 "The Application Impact Telemetry (AIT) Agent is not running because AIT is disabled". The trigger
for this event is execution of the built-in scheduled task to run Aitagent.exe daily at 02:30.
The message "AIT is disabled" is puzzling to me.
I checked participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) on the idea that a setting to disable participation could translate into "AIT is disabled", but CEIP is set to Yes (participate).
I checked Windows Error Reporting settings - they are set to "Automatically check for solutions and send additional report data, if needed"
I checked the REG_DWORD value AITEnable in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\AIT is set to 0x1, which should indicate that AIT is enabled.
I would appreciate if anyone can explain where/how AIT is disabled.
Thanks

Arthur Xie-
Thank you for suggesting installing the
Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 (ACT). This is quite an enterprise-level program (the Step-by-Step guide says "We
recommend that you collect your data from approximately 10,000
computers")!
Anyway, installing the ACT and sending an empty data set to Microsoft worked, but did not eliminate Event 701 when the scheduled task to run AitAgent.exe executed
(as scheduled or manually) or when AitAgent.exe was run from an Administrator command prompt.
Since the scheduled task to run AitAgent.exe is part of a out-of-box installation of Windows 7, and its description states "Aggregates and uploads Application Telemetry
information if opted-in to the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program", it would seem that it would run without error, at least when participation in the CEIP is enabled.

How to get Oracle Coherence caching running within CQ5

I've been trying to get Oracle Coherence running within CQ5 and I'm having problems with the setup. First, I've been successful in creating an OSGi bundle jar from coherence.jar and it does deploy successfully through the Felix OSGi console. But when I try to execute code using the Coherence classes, I get RMI marshalling run-time errors. I've resolved the other run-time errors that have to do with the Import-Package definition in manifest.mf for the bundle. I believe that the root problem that I'm facing is the deployment of the files tangosol-coherence-override.xml and the additional xml file that it points to. I don't believe that these two files are being found within CQ5 correctly. I've tried placing these files in the following locations:
1. Within coherence.jar itself (at the root directory)
2. In the CQ5 application's install folder
3. In the CQ5 application's src/main/resources folder
Has anyone ever deployed Oracle Coherence in CQ5 or can give me a suggestion on what to try? I appreciate any help or ideas.
Thanks! - Charlie

There are 3 options which is described below. The steps may slightly vary based on cq & Oracle Coherence version. The details mentioned below are for cq5.4 & Coherence 3.7.1
Option 1:- Oracle recommended way
*     Create a basic Web application directory
/Sample.jsp
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/classes/tangosol-coherence-override.xml
/WEB-INF/lib/coherence.jar
*     jar -cvf hello.war *
*     Deploy the hello.war file by going to cq servlet engine at http://<host>:<port>/admin
*     Access your sample with http://<host>:<port>/<contextroot>/Sample.jsp
Option 2:- Combination of Option 1 & Option 3
*      Stop the cq
*      Place coherence.jar at <CQ_Install_Dir>/crx-quickstart/server/runtime/0/_/WEB-INF/lib/
*      Place tangosol-coherence-override.xml and all additional xml files at <CQ_Install_Dir>/crx-quickstart/server/runtime/0/_/WEB-INF/classes/
*      Modify <CQ_Install_Dir>/crx-quickstart/launchpad/sling.properties to add below properties
sling.bootdelegation.com.tangosol.net.cache=com.tangosol.net.cache
sling.bootdelegation.com.tangosol.net=com.tangosol.net
sling.bootdelegation.com.tangosol.util=com.tangosol.util
*       Start the cq
*       Verify jsp script etc... by putting into cache.. Same thing like
        <%
            String key = "k2";
            String value = "Hello World from cq!";
ClassLoader oldLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
ClassLoader newLoader = com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory.class.getClassLoader();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(newLoader);
            CacheFactory.ensureCluster();
            NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache("hello-example");
            cache.put(key, value);
            out.println((String)cache.get(key));
            CacheFactory.shutdown();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(oldLoader);
         %>
Option 3 :-   The one you are trying by creating an OSGi bundle jar from coherence.jar & prefeerd approach also. I haven't tried this approach but just throughing some thaughts.
*    From some of oracle seminors I remembered oracle had a plans to have OSGi jar for Coherence. Try to get that instead of building the one ourself.
*    If it is not available then Looking at your problem as a workaround i can think of is try with putting the XML file in the repository & load xml in java class something like as
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("tangosol-coherence-override.xml")

Sorry we are unclear as to the external hard drive and its connection to the TC..
For instance the light that blinks.. is that the TC or external hard disk or what.
Did you try just rebooting / restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router / TC.. external drive.. clients with 2min gap between each.
Are you actually running Snow Leopard as the profile states?
How old is the TC?

AppV5 Excel/Office ProPlus 2013 Click to Run Sequencing (and include some native Addins)

Hello,
We need two native Excel 2013 Addins: PowerPivot and PowerView. Since Office 2010 is installed locally on all client machines I would like to virtualize Excel 2013 (Click to Run) with these two addins. Licensing is no issue because an
Office 365 subscription will be purchased.
So, I have successfully sequenced Excel 2013 with AppV 5.0 SP1 via the Office Deployment Tool. It all seems too easy:
First download sources (setup.exe /download configuration.xml)
Second configure sources (setup.exe <xml file>)
Last create the AppV package (setup.exe /packager <xml> <path to save .appv package>)
My Configuration.xml file looks like this:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\serverr\share" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="ExcelRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Name="Office2013Setup.txt" Path="%temp%" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
But I end up with an Excel 2013 AppV package that:
Doesn’t include the addins (no wonder because I didn’t sequenced it myself).
All the 'first run wizards' popup at launch (Default File Type question & Welcome to your new Office). Normally I disable these with OCT for physical installations, or configure them while sequencing.
Is there a way to disable the first run wizards in the “setup.exe /configure” step? And can I add Excel Addins during package creation? Or need I script this within the DeploymentConfig.xml/UserConfig.xml with a .reg import for example?
Thanks,
Ben

You said you used the Office Toolkit? In this you can set Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run.
Was this used when installing on the sequencing machine?
Alternatively you could attempt to launch excel during the sequencing phase and go through those menu's to ensure they don't launch on first launch of the virtual Excel. I believe that shouldn't be a problem since.
For the Add-in's, it seems like you know they weren't included or connected in any way, that's likely the issue with those.

Excel 2010 locks up when using Smartview to run Business Rule

I've been testing Smart View 9.3..3 with Excel 2010.
If (from within Smart View) I navigate to Hyperion>Calculation Options>Business Rules, Excel locks up and only an 'End Process' will close it down.
As a workaround the Rule that the user needs to run has been attached to a Form & this works correctly, wondered if anyone else had seen this ?
Thanks

re: more excel crashing
Well you asked about other ideas so...
1. Turn off Auto-Save
2. Turn off file-sharing
3. Locate the XLSTART directory, move everything there someplace else.
4. You disabled all add-ins, but does that include Com add-ins and the other flavors.
5. Does the user have an anti-virus app installed - disable it.
6. Doug Robbins (Word MVP) has an exhaustive list of problems/solutions for crashes in Office 2013.
There will be overlap with Office 2010...

Problems while displaying EXCEL sheets within OUTLOOK

Dear all,
I have the following problem:
a user within the company receives sometimes emails containing excel sheets. the user wants to use/work with the preview within outlook, unfortunately the displayed values are different compared with the values if the sheet is opened with excel.
Now I'd want to ask if you had such a problem and also found a solution for that?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Oli

Hi Oli,
Does this only happen to these specific spreadsheets or all? Are these fixed manually entered value? Or references to other sources?
The previewers in Microsoft Outlook provide additional security against potentially harmful code to help protect you from malicious code,
active content embedded in attachments (including scripts, macros, and ActiveX controls) is disabled during a preview.
Thus, a preview might not show the most up-to-date content in the file. To see the most complete, up-to-date content, you need open the file in related Microsoft Office application.

Labview 2014 Excel Active X Property Nodes disabled - Why?

Hello,
I am using Labview 2014 and want to open, write to and close Excel by the use of Active X.
I am confronted with the problem, that, if connecting (Active X-) property nodes to the references (e.g. "Excel_Application"), right-clicking on the context menue doesn´t let me choose any properties, the item is disabled (one can read in German "Keine Eigenschaften" (no properties)).
How can I resolve this? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

I am having the same problem. When I left click to choose/change the property I do not get a list - instead I get the greyed No Properties popup - see screenshot.
If I drag and drop an existing property node from within an example subVI it connects to the reference and keeps showing the current property but I cannot change to a different one.
I am using LV 2012, Win7, Office 2013.
When I try with LV 2012, Win7, Office 2010, it works properly. So my guess is that is has to do with the version of office. But I would like to know the reason why as well.
