Essbase Excel Plugin Errors/Warnings

Our company is in the process of packaging software and we recently received the package for the Essbase Excel Plugin today and ran into errors while testing it out. My thought process is that the file permissions on the Hyperion Solutions folder are incorrect and the user does not have/read access to this folder. Would file permissions cause the following errors (seen below)?
Error #1
Opening a wallet (C:\Hyperion Solutions\Middleware\EPMSysttem11R1\products\ExcelAddin;\products\ExcelAddin\bin\wallet) failed (28759).
Error #2
SSL Initialization failed with error code [1040132].
Thank you in advance for your help!

The HTTP Request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme negotiate - MDS Excel Plugin error

Hi,
Some users in my company are experiencing a strange issue when connecting to our MDS server using the MDS Excel plugin. They receive the error message:
"The HTTP Request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme negotiate. The authentication header received from the server was "NTLM,BASIC real="DOMAIN NAME IWA"
They are receiving this error when first trying to connect. For some reason they only receive this error when connected to the work network via the VPN. They don't receive this error from within our network.
Does anyone know what might be causing this issue and how to resolve?
Many Thanks,
Phil

Excel Plugin installation with out admin rights

Hi,
We have developed an excel plugin which is a combination of dll written in c# and VBA project(.xla file). We have created .msi to ship the plugin using Install Shield and the settings in it had Require admin privileges set to NO.
The installation seems to be seamless regardless of whether it was installed on a PC with admin rights or without admin rights.
However the plugin loads fine only on the PC where it was installed with admin rights.
When installed with user without admin rights, Opening excel comes up with an error "Compile error in hidden module: ". The same message appears when closing excel as well.
I have searched through internet and found couple of ways it can it can be resolved
1. By manually registering mscomctl.ocx but cannot be done as the user don't have admin rights
2. Deleting .exd files in USER_HOME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Forms dir (Tried this but no success)
I ran out of ideas and couldn't find anything more on this. Can anyone please let me know what I should be doing to resolve this?
Additional Info:
The location where registry entries are written is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings
I am deploying all my files to C:\Program Files\<Project Name> dir
and Interop.Excel.dll is one of the files am shipping along with my dll and .xla file
So don't think any of the above needs admin rights. Please let me know if I am wrong?
Many thanks for your help!!!

Hi Kittu1201,
>>which is a combination of dll written in c# and VBA project(.xla file).
What do you mean by “a combination of dll written in c#”? Do you use VSTO? If yes, is it application level or document level?
>> We have created .msi to ship the plugin using Install Shield and the settings in it had Require admin privileges set to NO.
As far as I know, Install Shield is a third party product and I'm not very familiar with it. For questions about Install Shield, I will suggest you going to the Install Shield official site for help.
>> Opening excel comes up with an error "Compile error in hidden module: ".
I made a research about this error, it could be caused by a specific *.xla file and the KB below might be useful to you:
# You receive a "Compile error in hidden module" error message when you start Word or Excel
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/307410
If the issue keeps existing, can you share a us very simple sample to help us to reproduce this issue.

Excel Plugin

Is there any way to install excel plugin (essbase client) without using the installer.
I mean to say is there any exe for that. The way which I know is that you have the assembly and put that assembly in the installer to install it.

Not that I know of.. In the distant past, when I actually used the Essbase client API in our products, I created a installation using InstallShield. The tasks that you would have to do include:
1. Install the files in the essbase\bin subdirectory.
2. Install the files in the essbase\locale subdirectory.
3. Set the ARBORPATH environment variable.
4. Set the PATH environment variable to include %ARBORPATH%\bin.
You users will need admin privileges to run this install as the modification of the environment variables requires admin (or perhaps it is power-user) privileges and those environment variables are mandatory.
BTW, I stopped using the client API in our products primarily due to the fact that it was too hard to support multiple versions of Essbase using that API.

Essbase excel plugin error - "essbase uniquyfyforuser failed to get.."

Hello Everyone,
I have Hyperion and Essbase Fusion Edition installed in the same machine. Whenever I open a new instance of excel, I get the Hyperion (Smart View) addin, but I do not get the Essbase Plugin. Instead I get the following error message:
"essbase uniquyfyforuser failed to get unique name size, code 1355"
Any suggestion would be of great help.

Symptom
SAP Netweaver BEx variables don't show up in BusinessObjects Xcelsius application during refresh
It is not possible to dynamically answer the query prompt differently
error: Failed to get the document information
Cause
A WebIntelligence query on an SAP data source - passing prompt values through a LiveOffice connection in Xcelsius 2008 - does not return any output.
The ability to query an SAP datasource from Xcelsius is currently not fully functionally supported.
Resolution
Additional support for BI variables will be delivered with Enhancement Request # ADAPT01178138:
Direct access from BOBJ Xcelsius Designer to SAP BW BEx queries, via a new SAP Menu and connectivity to BI Consumer Services
The new access type does not go via BusinessObjects Enterprise (so no QaaWS or LiveOffice involved), instead the SAP Embedded Analytics connector creates .SWF visualizations which are published back into NetWeaver to handle authentication & data fetch run.

TDM Excel plugin truncating number data with 000

I have a strange one. I have created a TDM file with several groups and channels. One of my channels has the name IMEI_MEID and the data shows 270113178003159793. When this channel imports to excel the number is changed to 27011317800315000. I'm not sure why this is happening. I saved the data in the TDM file as a DDC_String so it should be ok.
My plugin version is 2.1.0.4.

Hi jsmalley,
It seems to be a problem with Excel in general. If you edit in Excel a number with more than 15 significant digits this phenomenon occurs. Example:
123456789012345111 is shown in Excel as 123456789012345000
It is not a problem of the Excel Add-In.
Greetings

Facing issues while creating excel plugins using dotnet

Hi All,
I am working on the design of a Project and Need help. Appreciate a quick Response.
The requirement goes like this -
We Need to create a custom menu in Excel, after clicking on this menu item, dotnet code will be invoked from where some data has to be retreived from a Client site using webservices. This data must be displayed in the Excel sheet.
Question:
I have been successfully able to create a custom menu but when I try to add an Event such that an Action happens when the user clicks on the menu item, it throws an error - "Cannot assign to 'MenuItem_Click' because it is a 'method group'"
MenuItem_Click += new Microsoft.Office.Core._CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(MenuItem_Click);
I have added the following methods -
private void MenuItem_Click(Office.CommandBarButton Ctrl, ref Boolean CancelDefault)
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("You just clicked the button labeled '{0}. \n" + "The name of your workbook is '{1}'.", Ctrl.Caption, ThisWorkbook.name),
"MenuItem_Click",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information);
private void ThisWorkbook_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
InitMenuBarItems("&Custom Code");
MenuItem = CreateButton((Office.CommandBarPopup)MenuBarItem, "Run Demo Code");
MenuItem_Click += new Microsoft.Office.Core._CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(MenuItem_Click);
Could anyone help me resolving this problem?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Starting from Excel 2007 the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) is used. Command bars were deprecated, you need to use the new UI instead. See Ribbon Overview for more
information.
VSTO provides two main ways for customizing the ribbon UI:
1. Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab by Using the Ribbon Designer
2. Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab by Using Ribbon XML
If you need to customize context menus, see Customizing
Context Menus in Office 2010 .
The Fluent UI is described in depth in the following series of articles in MSDN:
1. Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)

App-V - "Excel & ESSBase Plugin" perform poorly

Hi,
using App-V 5.0 sp3 client for RDS 2012 R2.
*Excel 2007 & ESSBase Add-in sequenced into a connection Group
*Standalone Mode/ Normal mode so no streaming server
*The App-V client UI (or PoSh commandlet) is showing package is fully loaded in local cache
*when I run Excel v-App, Excel Plugin "ESSBase" is registered fine
I can open large .xls files with no issue
The performance issue escalated by a user is when loading a .xlsm calc sheet
and starting a data retrieval from ESSBase database server
- the operation takes around 2min 50
- compared to a "native setup" where Excel & ESSBase are installed locally, the same operation takes 30 seconds
TCPView.exe shows that starting the action throws tons of new network connections to the ESSBase database server
Procmon.exe filtered on Excel.exe shows :
- that compared to a native install, the App-V setup has tons more result="Path Not Found" or "Name Not Found"
TaskMgr shows that on the App-V setup, Excel.exe enters "Not Responding" time window many times during data retrieval
=> on Native setup, Excel.exe don't enter "Not Responding" status
The tests were made on two identical RDS Session Host 2012 r2 VMs, 4 GB, AMD Quad Core, 1Gb Ethernet
with as single load the Excel test
=> I would be surprised if this is a ressource bottleneck - Excel.exe uses max 90 Mo.
I'll do benchmark tests using dummy network traffic tests using
measure-command powershell commandlet
from Inside App-V bubble & compare it to the results from outside the App-V bubble.
while I'm sure this shoundn't be a App-V limitation in itself, to be honest not knowing what to optimize
is frustrating.
Any help would be welcome,
Thanks.
MCTS Windows Server Virtualization, Configuration

Fixed !
now the App-V app (Excel & ESSBase plugin) data load from the database server
has simply the same performance as in the Native Installation Environment or is even a bit faster...
The ‘guilty’ was : “COM Mode” setting witch was set up on the App-V package’s dynamic configuration
XML file as in
Isolated Mode witch according to App-V: On COM Isolation and Interaction
meant that it is being Virtualized
On – w/ GUID Spoofing
I deleted the App-V package & set that bit of code inside of the XML like below then
tested again – the result is now satisfying !
<COM
Mode="Off"><integratedcomattributes
inprocessenabled="false" outofprocessenabled="true"><IntegratedCOMAttributes
InProcessEnabled="false"
OutOfProcessEnabled="true"/>
</integratedcomattributes></COM>
I watched the below TechEd North America Event
Project Virtual Reality Check: Microsoft App-V 5.0 Performance, Tuning, and Optimization (App-V PTO)
it is briefly said that to troubleshoot execution performance issues,
- check unnecessary Extention Points wich could slow execution
- double check COM Mode setting as it could also horribly slow the App-V App user experience
See also the section Writing directly to Excel
where The scripting Guys explain two methods
& how COM is known to be horribly slow …
sample powershell code snippets from
PowerShell and Excel: Fast, Safe, and Reliable
to inject cells & generate and Excel file…
This was not easy to find as the majority of the documentation around ‘performance tweaks’ for App-V was leading to the Streaming or Package Publishing process optimization wich was not my case – I was more interested
about optimizing a process started during the package’s execution when it was already fully cached locally.
Thanks.

Error in Plugin Installation For MS Office 2013 on Windows 8 and 8.1

Hello,
We have developed an installer for MS Word and MS Excel plugins. So far it has been working fine for MS Office 2003, 2007 etc. but since I have upgraded to a Windows 8.1 machine with MS Office 2013 installed, the plugin installation is giving error.
The installation fails and an error dialog appears with Error Code Type: Error, Error:1, Owner:30a.
The installer works well for MS Office 2010 on Windows 8/ 8.1 machine or MS Office 2010 on Windows 7 machine.

HiDinesh,
Is there any other error message when installation fails?
According to this error message “Error Code Type: Error, Error:1, Owner:30a.”
This is problem conclusion provided by IBM:
This issue is no longer reproducible in V6R2012x.
Installation checks have been modified to throw an error only when none of the Office applications
(Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook) are installed. This error will not occur if one or more of the Office products are installed.

Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?

christian

Excel Output is being displayed as HTML in the browser

Hi All,
I am using PeopleSoft XML Publisher 5.6.2 to generate an Excel report using RTF template. The report runs successfully.
However, when I click the Output file link in the View Log page of process scheduler, the file is being displayed as a HTML page, though the extension of the file is .xls.
Also when I try to save the file by using 'Save Taget as' option, the browser prompts me to save the file as 'mhtm' file and not 'xls' file.
The following is an extract from the output file.
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>IM Top 10 Surplus & Deficit Locations</title>
After doing some research on Internet, I found the following blog post(dated back in 2008) to describe my situation and a workaround to the problem.
http://peoplesofttipster.com/2008/04/16/xls-xmlp-output-opening-in-browser-not-excel/
http://peoplesofttipster.com/2008/04/18/xls-xmlp-output-opens-in-browser-workaround/
Workaround described in the above blog post is to update the charset to us-ascii replacing UTF-8. This seems to work. But with limited file processing capabilities of peoplecode, this workaround is not a simple solution.
I also verified the mime-type mapping in the web.xml file in the webserver. Please find below the .xls mime-type mapping in the web.xml file.
<mime-mapping> <extension> xls </extension> <mime-type> application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type></mime-mapping>
Question:
1.How do I force the browser to open the excel output file using either Excel plugin or Excel Application instead of displaying it as HTML page?
2.If not the above, how can I force the system to promt the user to save the file as Excel file instead of mhtml?

App-v package which needs Excel + Internet Explorer

Hi,
I need to package an application (App-V 4.6) on Windows 2008 which need Internet Explorer and Excel.
Please advise howto do this. I packaged the application but when starting the Excel plugin it says it can't find the application itself.
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Sequence the application on a machine that has Office on it. Create a shortcut which points to the locally installed Excel. Also create one point to the local IE. When these shortcuts are launched it will launch the users local Excel and IE into the virtual
environment, allowing them to see the virtual plug-ins.
If you did this but opened Excel or IE during the sequence, go back and do it again and don't launch them. Or at least make sure that both have been launched before sequencing so that when you launch during sequencing it's not the first time they have
been launched on that machine (help avoid first run junk getting captured)

Automatic Import of TDMS file into Excel

I was looking at the NI TDMS import plugin for Excel and it seems that the newest version of the plugin uses the COM API which could allow the import function to be used automatcially. There is a short info page about this here http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/10207 but I'm new to Excel Macros and VBA so I'm not sure how to go from this tutorial to what I am wanting to do.
Specifically, I am wondering if anyone knows (and could post an example of) how to do the following:
From within a labview VI, the user would select a path to a tdms file. Once this path is selected, the VI would call the TDMS import excel plugin and run it on the file.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After playing with things, I have worked out the solution to this and I am posting it for everyone in case it can be of some use. In order to use this solution to work out of the box, you will need the report generation toolkit. If you don't have that, you would need some other way of launching Excel from labview and running a macro. Hopefully someone who has the knowledge on how to do that will post that portion in this thread for those who don't have the toolkit
To start out, open excel and in the menubar select Tools -> Macros -> Visual Basic Editor. The source for the macro you will create is:
Sub TDMImport(fileName)
'Get TDM Excel Add-In
Dim obj As COMAddIn
Set obj = Application.COMAddIns.Item("ExcelTDM.TDMAddin")
obj.Connect = True
'Confirm only importing "Description" properties for Root
Call obj.Object.Config.RootProperties.SelectAll
'Show the group count as property
Call obj.Object.Config.RootProperties.Select("Groups")
'Select all the available properties for Group
Call obj.Object.Config.GroupProperties.SelectAll
'Import custom properties
obj.Object.Config.RootProperties.SelectCustomProperties = True
obj.Object.Config.GroupProperties.SelectCustomProperties = True
obj.Object.Config.ChannelProperties.SelectCustomProperties = True
'Import the selected file
Call obj.Object.ImportFile(fileName, False)
'Record down the current workbook
Dim Workbook As Object
Set Workbook = ActiveWorkbook
End Sub
Once you have copied/pasted this into the editor go to the menubar and hit File -> Export File and save the macro as a .BAS file
You will also need to go to Tools -> Macros-> Security and select the Trust Visual Basic Project option in order for the macro to be called from LV.
Once all this is done, you can use the attached VI (Saved in LV 8.6) Simply supply the path to the BAS file and the TDMS file via the front panel controls and click run and the TDMS import will happen automatically.
