Function in Essbase Add-In

In Excel, you can click on the fx that's beside the formula barto display the Insert Function window. There's a category called"Essbase Add-In" in the drop-down list box. Which directory would I paste my macro excel file, in order forthe macro function to display in this list? Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't HypQueryMembers do what you want?
It sounds exactly like EssVGetMemberInfo, right down to the number 6 being the same generation.

Error while creating Custom Defined Functions in Essbase

Hi All, I am trying to create CDF(Custom Defined Functions) in Essbase. Iwant to create a function which take list of child member andreturn the first child. For this, i have created a java file called"ChildAccess.java" which contains the following code: public class ChildAccess { public static char GetFirstMember(char [] members) { return members[0]; } } I have compiled and made jar file called"ChildAccess.jar" and pasted it at"ARBORPATH/java/udf". Then i restarted the Essbase Serverand run the following MaxL command to register the function create or replace function '@ChildAccess' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember' spec '@ChildAccess(memberRange)' comment 'adds list of input members'. Till here i am not getting any error but when i am using thisfunction in my calc script as given below FIX(@ChildAccess(@CHILDREN("Abc"))) it gives the following error "Error:1200414 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 2)"argument[1] may not have size[6] in function[@CHILDREN]" NOTE: The SIZE[6] is giving the no. of child in member"ABC". Thanks in Advance Arpit

If you want to use the CDF in a FIX statement you need to make sure that it returns a member name rather than a number: public class ChildAccess { public static String GetFirstMember(String[] members) { return members[0]; } } I prefer to define the function against a specific application rather than globally because you only need to restart the application in order to pick-up any modifications to the .jar file. So the MaxL function definition would be: create or replace function appname.'@_GETFIRSTMEMBER' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember(String[])'; and in the calculation script the FIX statement would become: fix ( @member( @_GetFirstMember( @name( @children( "Abc" ) ) ) ) ) This looks a little messy so you can use a macro to simplify it: create or replace macro appname.'@GETFIRSTMEMBER'(single) as '@member( @_GETFIRSTMEMBER( @name( @@1 ) ) )' SPEC "@GETFIRSTMEMBER(memberRange)"; and then the FIX statement could be written: fix( @getfirstmember( @children( "PRODUCT" ) ) )

Essbase Add-In v6.2 not working with Excel 97

I am running client Windows NT 4.0sp6 with Excel 97 and just tried to upgrade the Essbase Excel Add-In to version 6.2.1 from 6.0. The add-in appears to work fine for all Essbase functions except Essbase-Options. When I select Essbase-Options, I immediately get an Excel.exe application error as follows:The instruction at "0x01e412b5" referenced memory at "0x0000003c". The memory could not be read.My upgraded v6.2.1 Application manager appears to run fine. Anybody got any ideas?? According to Hyperion documentation, v6.2.1 works with Excel 97.

Hi Rodrigo,
Thanks for your answer,
I am already using these parameters by reading cells.
But the question I ask related how to get and set the user name at the login dialog box of essbase add-in.
As it is changed when I use EssVConnect. I want to keep it same as original.
any idea?

Augmented Essbase Add In -

A few years ago, I've seen an add in tool that either replaces or augments the Essbase Add In. One of the attractive features of this add in is the normal right click functionality of Excel is still available, together with the Essbase add in commands. Does anyone know where I can find this tool? Thanks.

The easiest way to deal with this type of problem is to have your citrix server admins check the "One instance per user only" button on the application's configuration. This way if they try to open an additional session of Excel, it's tough noogies.
The other option of course is to use the connection center to kill any open excel processes. In the lower right of your screen with a citrix application running (showing as a grey square with a red spot) right click and open the Connection Center. You can then see any open apps and options to knock them out (kind of like task manager on your local machine).

Problem with Essbase add-in 9.2.1 and office 2010.

Hi all,
we have a problem with Essbase add in 9.2.1 and office 2010.
Every time when a user opens Excel a new (additionally) euntry in the ad-on menue appears.
Indeed what happens is, that the add-in is loaded n-times.
At the first start of excel one time, second two times and so on...
Thtas's very annoying.
Can someone confirm this issue or even better know a workaround.
(A way we have found so far to ease the pain a bit -well only temporary- is to disable the ad-in, close Excel and start it again.
However with every new start of execel the issues begins again.
But that's not a solution you can recommand to the end user.)
Any help is welcome.
Thank you in advance!
Andre

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

Essbase Add-In : "Invalid Command 11607 Received in Request Manager"

Hi All,
I am getting the following Error when I am using Member Selection Property in Essbase Add - In
"Invalid Command 11607 Received in Request Manager"
Environment :
Essbase 6.5
MS Excel 2000
Please Help...Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Sonu

We have Hyperion Planning version 3.0.0 installed in the system.
Also while connecting from Excel with the server we get a warning message stating " The version of Essbase(65000) is older than the version of the Essbase API(65200) you are using".
If we proceed further, we are able to connect to the application and retrieve the dimensions and the members. But the "Member Selection" and the "Find" property doesn't work throwing the error message "Invalid Command 11607 Received in Request Manager".
Please help...

Essbase Add-in and Office 2010 double clicking drilling down issue

We have Office 2010 and Essbase Add-in 6.5.4 and some users are having issues when double clicking to zoom in. When using the double-click to drill down, it flashes a few times and drills down to the lowest level even though it is setup to zoom to the next level. It works when you use zoom in from the menu and this doesnt happen to all the users. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

We had similar issue but with lower versions of excel where a double click acts continously till the lowest level is reached for the member selected. Notice that all the members are not at the lowest level, it only happens for the current selected cell in excel.
In my case a re-install of add-in worked. Have you tried re-installing add-in. See that unistall is complete before re-installation. As you understand the problem is not with all machines/users, hence it should not be an issue with add-in.

Essbase add-in Error (duplicate name found in grid)

Hi,
I have upgraded from 7.3 to 9.2 essbase add-in and get the following error when zooming into a product dimension - seems to be a problem with base member name and alias showing duplicates!
However this error does not occur on a new installation of 9.2 where there was no previous version of essbase add-in!
Has anyone experienced this or know of a work around? - the Cube is built using ASO/AIS

Same issue here. I have a call in with Novell for this, so hopefully it will get sorted soon. I suggest others with this issue raise calls as well to get it up the priority list.

Essbase Add-in Error - Cannot Find Message Database

Error #1040007 - Cannot find message database. Error received launching either the essbase add-in or app manager.Arbor path has been verified in path statement, and is first. Running under Win 2000, no changes to PC.Can anyone advise what may be causing this problem? Specific question: Where would the "message database be located?".Randy [email protected]

It's used to point to the message database (seriously)... LOL! I've never seen it used anyplace I've done Essbase and to my knowledge no one has ever been the worse off for it. It's probably just as well that you deleted it.Regards,Bruce

Excel crashes due to Essbase add-in

Hi,
I have Essbase 11.1.1.3 and am using the excel addin 11.1.1.3 on Office 2003 in Win XP. One issue everyone is facing is that, once we install the excel add-in on their machine, they are unable to run any other tool that launches excel.
For example if they try to export something from JD Edwards, when excel launches, it crashes and they get the "fatal error...excel has crashed etc etc" error message. If I unregister the essbase add-in, it exports fine.
They have a lot of other excel add-ins as well and those "play nice" with each other but many of the add-ins have issues with the essbase excel addin.
Has anyone faced such an issue?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought that only controlled the mouse actions though? I tried it anyway. Still doesnt work.

Excel 2010 & Essbase Add-In

Hi,
We are using Essbase version 9.3.1. Recently, some of my users have upgraded to Excel 2010. They had been using it fine for about a month, and then all of a sudden, they started getting the error "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin\essexcln.xll' whenever they try and use the Essbase Add-In.
The only work around that I have found is that if they navigate to that path and click on the add-in and then open Excel, it will work fine, but obviously, that is not the optimal solution.
I have gone and downloaded Essbase version 9.3.3 and installed on the machine, but the same error is occurring. I don't see how this could be a problem, seeing that usually it is OK to use a newer version of the add-in, even if the overall product is on the older version.
We are planning on upgrading all of our products to 9.3.3 in the next couple of months, but I have a feeling that will not solve the add-in/Excel issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ,
The error which you are getting is due the Excel. Because Excel Disables
the Essbasee Addin some time.
When you get the same error follow the below steps.
1) Open Excel
2) Go to Home menu
3) Options -> Add-ins -> Select Disable Add-Ins
4) Select the Essbase Add-ins and Click on Enable.
5) Click Ok.
6) Restart Excel
Hope this helps.

Putting it generously, they're a unique beast with very Adobe ways of doing things. Same goes for Microsoft and others.
Once you learn the lingo, they're a friendly enough bunch but the bureaucracy can prove labyrinthine and exasperating at times (even for Adobe staff, I gather).
What I do know is that once you eventually find the correct forum, form, department or knowledgeable individual to speak to, they're usually really helpful.
I do avoid contacting Adobe for Help at all costs though. That DOES need lots of work. The forums are far quicker and easier for me to deal with.

Essbase Add-in 9.3.3 compatible with Essbase Server 9.2?

Due to some issues we're experiencing with Office 2010 we need to upgrade our Essbase add-in to 9.3.3. The good news is that it resolved the issues we were experiencing with Excel 2010. Unfortunately according to the documentation 9.3.3 products are not backwards compatible. Does this include the add-in? So far we haven't experienced any issues but was wondering if there are any known issues.
Thanks

Excel addin uses the Grid API to communicate with Essbase. Nothing new happened to Essbase between 9.2 and 9.3.3 that would cause the addin to stop working. I would test it out and pay close attention to compatibility with Excel 2010.
