Cannot view Master Data Services Models with Excel Add-In, using MSSQServer 2014 Trial and Excel 2010 (non-trial)

I'm using using MSSQServer 2014 Trial with Master Data Services installed. I have connected to the MDS server with the Excel 2010 MDS Add-In. 
Models are not listed in the Add-In's Explorer browser. When I open the MDS server with IE, no models are listed either.
I can view them locally on the server in IE.
There are no remote DB access issues.
Is it just that the 2014 Trial version does not supply this info remotely??

Was a Model Permission issue. Fixed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487055.aspx
Would be good if the interface would show some kind of alert to that fact.

  • Installing Essbase Excel Add-in on 11.1.2 and Excel 2007

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing the excel add-in (essexcln.xll) on Office 2007 and 11.1.2? I've been trying over the weekend, so that I can start using the vba api with essbase and I'm having no luck. I've tried the essexcln.xll at (installed drive)\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\essbase\bin and I'm getting a "file is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message box, and a whole spreadsheet of random characters.
    I've also tried installing the add-in through the patch created for 11.1.1.3. The add-in works, but if I try to use the API to open an outline, I get an "outline too new" error.
    Anyone have any hints?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the help. So I've tried installing the add-in both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and I'm still getting the "The file you are trying to open, 'essexcln.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" message box. I've tried running excel as an administrator, then adding the add-in through excel's add-in menu.
    When I open the file, the first line of the sheet says: This program cannot be run in dos mode.
    Also, both servers are 64-bit. I'm unsure if this could affect the add-in working.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan

  • 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]

  • Master data services - Excel addin integration with Sharepoint

    Hi Gurus,
    I am looking for different ways to present Excel addin plugin to user community.  Can sharepoint be used to launch the excel within the portal.  I am not sure if this is possible where a user can launch the excel directly from sharepoint website
    where the excel opens with in the website.
    It would be great to integrate with shareopoint, as it would allow users to go to one centralized location to perform MDS related tasks.

    The excel UI can be only hosted in the Excel desktop UI.
    The webUI is possible to hosted in the sharepoint.

    Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services 32bit or 64bit
    1.  
    My entity A has 50,000 records.
    Entity B has a domain attribute "City" from entity A.
    I successfully add new records to the entity B, but after refresh I cannot see any data in the domain attribute "City" for new records (empty cels)!!! Although in the Web client (or through SSMS in table)  I can see the data in "City"
    attribute (e.g. code_095 {Moscow}).
    If I reduce the number of records in the entity A to 20 000, then I see code_095 {Moscow} in Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS.

    However, the Match Data dialog window I have looks like this:
    Am I doing something wrong? Or am using a different version of the Master Data Excel Add-in?

  • Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

    I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
    (I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
    I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
    Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
    Error message
    TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
    An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
    http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See
    server logs for more details.

    I have finally found a solution for this problem!  Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
    after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
    Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
    Press the Start button (Windows button)
    In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
    Open regedit.exe
    A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
    In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order:  Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
        Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
    Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
        In the Edit Value popup, change the value to 
    Press OK
    Exit the Registry Editor
    The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0.  If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
    I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.

  • Advice on Promoting Master Data Services Changes from one environment to another, e.g. DEV to UAT

    Hi,
    Has anyone got experience of creating a script to promote Master Data Services changes from one environment to another, e.g. Development to Production please?
    The changes basically consist of adding several new MDS members which can be accessed via Excel.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Kieran.
    Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

    In MDS terminology an Entity is metadata, and Entity Members are the data. 
    Typically changes to an Entity (ie model design changes) are promoted to different environments.  Model design changes can be replicated manually in each environment or you can Export the model and Import it into the target environment.
    Adding, editing and deleting entity members is performed directly in each environment.
    If you want to selectively import data from a Dev environment, you can use staging.

  • Master Data Services Add-in will not stay enabled

    Using Excel 2013 x64 with the 2012 MDS add-in.  
    The master data services add-in works but when I shut down Excel, the add-in is soft disabled and I have to re-enable it every time I start Excel. I've tried disabling everything and then just enable MDS and that doesn't help.
    How can I troubleshoot this? I can't roll out 2013 to my users if this problem persists.

  • Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
    found anything online about the issue.
    Can someone please advise?
    I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

    Hi Revees,
    This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
    We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
    1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
    2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • Data services connectivity with Oracle 8i database

    Query 1:
    We are using Data services XI R3 for pulling data from Oracle 8i data soure to Oracle 10g target.
    Our repository is also a 10g database.
    We created a datastore for 8i source and tried to import the table.
    Below is the error that we get when try to import the table:
    Error: Cannot import metadata.
    Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
    While creating datastore, we entered database type as Oracle.
    We were able to import the table with same 8i source , target and repository of 10g version by using Data Integrator XI R2 tool but when we try the same thing with Data services, we are getting this error.
    Any other alternative other than using System DSN?
    Query 2:
    Also,is there any performance impact if we use ODBC System DSN name as the data source instead of Oracle while creating data store in Data services XI R3?
    We have used DSN since we were not able to import table from Oracle 7 and 8i databases(source) into repository (Oracle 10g) if we give Oracle as the data source. Target database is also Oracle 10g database.
    Edited by: Amardeep Pandey on Jun 26, 2009 8:51 AM

    the following issue is fixed in XI 3.2, you will be able to import the tables, but Oracle 8i and 7 are not supported oracle datastore versions, you will have to select oracle 9i in the datastore
    Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
    no there is no other alternate than using ODBC

  • Master data services - EDIT access only

    Hi Gurus,
    I am wondering if there is an option in Master data services where I can restrict the users to only edit the records and in this case they cannot delete the records.  I see that, the update option allows both edit and delete access.  
    Also, in the security privileges table, what does the execute and control privilege exactly mean. 
    Thank you  everyone for contributions and keeping it active and wonderful.

    In the SQL2012 or SQL2014 release, there are 3 permissions, Deny, Update, ReadOnly.
    Update means user can Create, Delete, Update.
    In the SQL vnext, we are considering has granular permission as CRUD.
    For now, as a workaround, I think you can give user ReadOnly permission on the entity or membertype (leaf) level, and give update permission on each attribute. So they can edit the attribute, but cannot create/delete the member.
    Execute and control privilege are deprecated level from SQL 2008R2. They have no effect and are completely removed in the next release in the UI.

  • Master data services 2012 domain trust issues

    hi,
    we have a Master Data Services 2012 installation within one domain and the users exist within another domain.  This has a selective trust both ways.
    the behaviour that we are seeing in MDS 2012 when adding users to the master data services from the other domain we are getting no exact match found for the users that exists when adding users in;  these users are from the domain that MDS does not reside
    in but there is a trust in place.
    we have given authentication permissions to all users requiring access to the server that MDS resides on.
    the question is what steps are necessary to allow MDS to operate in two domain environment.   We have other applications that function in this manner but MDS is causing issues.
    any help would be appreciated..
    thanks

    I don't have the exact multi domains environment to try it on. But I tried on mutil forest domains. It seems working fine.
    When add the user, the format is like [DomainName\]UserName
    When add the user for another domain, the domain name is required.
    There is a trust between our two domains (which works because I can log into SQL Server effortlessly with SSMS). However, when I try to add a user from the other domain, I get the error
    "No exact match was found for domain\user"
    It seems that MDS really doesn't like trusts.

  • Check what master data was carried with last load

    Hello all,
    I have an issue. I'm looking for a solution, so maybe you can help me :).
    I have the InfoObject A linked to InfoObject B , through a transformation.
    I also have a DTP.
    Running the DTP , I load master data from A to B.
    A and B already contained data, before my load.
    How can I check what master data was carried with my last load?
    (I don't have the chance to check by request, as if in the case of a cube , for example)
    Thank you.

    I agree like cube we cannot see the request wise data wise data .
    The alternate to this is you are updating the data through the DTP correct .
    Goto DTP maintenanve screen and click on the PSA and check the date wise data in that .
    I hope you must be awared of  which date data you need to see . So you can check from the DTP PSA screen .
    Assign marks is the best way to appreciate help
