Dataforms using smart view

Hi All,
I m having a problem with smart view.Few dataforms don't open peoperly.I saw one of your posts saying if i use DTS in column level i will not be able to open that dataform.I have exactly done the same thing,I have used Y-T-D in column level.As per my requirement i had to use it in column level rather than page level.
Is there any other way to open the dataform in smartview excel sheet?
Regards,

Hi,
I take it you mean this issue
If a data form has Dynamic Time Series members displayed in the columns or rows, when the form is opened in Smart View an invalid form message is received. If the Dynamic Time Series members are in the Page dimension, the data form opens without an error. (8557012)

Error entering data in a data form using Smart View

One of my user is facing an issue while entering data in a data form through Excel, if she uses the same data form in workspace she is able to enter data. She is facing the issue while entering in a specific column, for all other columns she is able to enter data in the data form. It is only one column for which she is facing issue while using smart view/excel and not workspace, as in workspace she is able to enter data.
Thanks,

Hi
Check they have the "Data Form Write Back from Excel" role in Shared Services.
See p.133 of the security guide for more info -

Performance issues when using Smart View and Excel 2010

Hello, we are experiencing very slow retrieval times when using Smart View and Excel 2010. Currently on v.11.1.3.00 and moved over from Excel 2003 in the last quarter. The same spreadsheets in 2010 (recreated) are running much slower than they used to in 2003 and I was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems?
It looks like there is some background caching going on as when you copy and paste the contents into a new file and retrieve it is better.....initially. The size of the files are generally less than 2mb and there aren't an expecially large number of subcubes requested so I am at a loss to explain or alleviate the issues.
Any advice / tips on how to optimise the performance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Office 2010 (32 bit) only is supported.
Also check these documents:
Refresh in Smart View 11.1.2.1 is Slow with MS Office 2010. (Doc ID 1362557.1)

Error when using Smart View install link in Workspace

Hi All,
We recently decidely to use Smart View 11.1.2.5, instead of 11.1.2.1.
In order to role out the file to our users we need to update the link in Workspace. I did so, copying the new .exe and version.xml file to our server that houses workspace, in file path Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/common/epmstatic/wspace/SmartView. I then removed the old files. Now when I login to HFM and go to the link, after a period of a few minutes I get the error "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."
I tried restarting all services, a dead end.
Does anyone know what needs to be done to fix this error?
Thank you in advance.
Brian

Yes, this is frustrating. You need .NET Framework 4.5 installed to be able to download and install from Internet Explorer. As per usual Firefox does not suffer from this and allows you to download the installer and save locally, no bother.
Please mark if helpful,

HFR Reports imported into ppt using smart view

Hi All,
Hyperion financial reporting version:11.1.2.334
ORACLE smart view version for office :11.1.2.5.210(Build 042)
Microsoft power point version 2007
Hyperion financial reporting reports imported into Microsoft power point presentation using smart view, total 55 HFR reports are imported into power point presentation.
The entire ppt file with 60 slides ,55 reports+5 textual commentary slides ,total size of the pptx file is 21 mb,
We have tried using the compress picture option available in power point, reducing the file size to 3.5 MB after compression(96 ppi ,see attached image),but image quality is lost, numbers in some images not readable at all.
Also tried the compression options with 220ppi,150ppi,but not seen any change in the file size reduction.
We are looking at reducing the size of ppt file as 20 mb file is difficult to transfer by email or to download, is there any workaround or other best solutions to reduce the size of an image ,we are ok to lose the quality of an image if the numbers and labels are readable.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestion.
Regards,
Ashok

Hi Joshi,
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and inputs,i have tried with winzip and as well 7 zip,but not reduced the size.
if i see my users existing ppt file size is 4 mb (60 slides),but these reports designed in excel sheet (not in HFR) and then copied to PPT.
Tabular reports copied from excel to ppt as windows metafile and graphs and charts are as image file.
is there any possibility to change the image format before or after importing the HFR report into ppt using any SDK in smart view?
thanks in advance for your valuable inputs,it will be a great help.
Regards,
Ashok

What's user variable name using Smart View POV function (ex:HypGetActiveMember)?

Hi,
We want to use Smart View POV function (ex:HypGetActiveMember) to get the active member of user variables from HFM forms selected into Excel, but we don't know the user variable name in the following paragraph of Smart View developer guide:
"To uniquely identify the user variable, provide the user variable name rather than the dimension name."
For example, what's the user variable name of Year dimension? How to get the user variable name?
Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
I guess user variable name is set by users/developers. I am not very clear on your question. If you have defined some variables to select any members from a dimension then it will be in HFM only. In planning we have two kinds of variables User Variables (we set it from Planning Preferences) and Substitution variable (we set it from Essbase Consol in the backend). Without looking into your application it is difficult to say the user variable name. Like for Year the user variables can be "PreviousYear", "CurrentYear", or "NextYear" etc.

Financial Reports import into excel using Smart View - error

All,
I have encountered an error message when trying to use R&A Import.
The message is
Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition
"Excel cannot insert the sheets into the destination workbook, because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook. To move or copy the data to the destination workbook, you can select the data, and then use the Copy and Paste commands to insert it into the sheets of another workbook."
This only affects some users and then they are able to reimport the reports no problem in the same workbook after the error is posted.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
We are using Excel 2007, Oracle Hyperion Smart View 11.1.13, Financial Reporting Studio, Hyperion Planning 11.1.13.

Answer appears to be users were using Excel 2007 in compatibility mode. Switching from compatibility mode to saving in Excel 2007 removed the errors.

Smart View 9.3.1 error to connecting Hyperion Planning using Excel

Hello Folks,
When I try to connect the Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 using Smart View 9.3.1 I had the following error "Client authorization is needed to accpet the certificate". I am using the URL connection with the following address http://server_name:8300/HyperionPlanning/SmartView.
Regards,

Venkat,
Based on our web session your production BEA license has not been installed and your production server is limiting the number of unique connections to five clients. Those first five clients who connected to the system.
As we proved in the web session Internet Explorer gets a 403 error and Firefox shows the root cause of the five license issue.
You may verify this by looking at the license.bea file on your servers and you will see it is an evaluation license. Being a licensed Hyperion customer entitles your company to use a restricted use WebLogic in a non-clustered environment. Below is the proper license.
The fix for this is to do the following:
1) Download a license code from Oracle
2) Go to http://licensecodes.oracle.com/bea.html
3) Download LIC-WLXB92
4) On your server(s) backup <BEA_DIRECTORY>\license.bea
5) Copy text file within the LIC-WLXB92 over the license.bea file
6) Restart your Hyperion Services

Some users not seeing all of a web form in Smart View Excel 11.1.2?

I am on Planning 11.1.2 and I have an end user who, when he opens a web form in Excel using Smart View, he only sees about 1/3 of the entire form. If in the Oracle/Planning web, the form is fine. When he uses my machine, he sees the entire web form in Smart View Excel. Is there a setting on his Excel I need to change?
Thanks.

It's a limitation, if you will, of the way JDeveloper works. It essentially runs your JSF page in order to get the rendering. At design time, the phase listener is obviously messing things up since you're not in a proper secured environment - hence the workaround to bypass your phase listener at design time.

How to hide members in Smart View

Hi
We have a requirement to add some accounts under accounts dimension in planning.Some of our users use Smart View to analyze data.So our budget team requirement is the users should not be able to see the new accounts we have added, when they drill down on account.We are on v9.3.
Please suggest
Thanks,

You'll have to play with Planning security filters in Essbase to make that possible.
All the filters in Essbase are Read only filters which means Users can still view the members.

Request Timedout error while submitting data in Planning thorugh Smart view

Hi ,
We are getting Request Timed out error when trying to submit data to Planning application using Smart view.
" Cannot connect to the provider because:The request Timed out. Contact your administrator to increase netRetryCount and netRetryInterval." Can someone please tell me where can i increase these time out settings? Can someone give me the link of the document that has detailed steps for this.

Go to the knowledge base and search for document ID 744559.1
Cause
By design, Internet Explorer imposes a time-out limit for the server to return data. Internet Explorer does not wait endlessly for the server to come back with data when the server has a problem.
Smart View communicates via HTTP for which Internet Explorer DLLs are utilized. Smart View users who perform large requests or have a slow network connection can encounter the error, "The request timed out. Contact administrator to increase NetRetryCount and NetRetryInterval."
This error message can be misleading since this error also occurs, if the Internet Explorer time out settings do not cater for larger operations. By default, Internet Explorer has a KeepAliveTimeout value of one minute and an additional limiting factor (ServerInfoTimeout) of two minutes.
Solution
Please see the following two Microsoft articles for further information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
The following steps should be done with the assistance of your Systems Administration group. It is recommended a backup of the registry is done prior to making any modifications.
On the client machine, update/add the following registry keys:
1. Open the Registry, Start -> Run -> Regedit.
2. Locate the following section:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
3.Create the following new DWORD keys with decimal values:
ReceiveTimeout=480000
KeepAliveTimeout=180000
ServerInfoTimeout=180000
In this example, the ReceiveTimeout setting is 8 minutes. The KeepAliveTimeout and ServerInfoTimeout settings are 3 minutes. Set these to greater than the longest running request.
4. Restart the machine for the new settings to take effect.

Smart View 'Free-Form' vs Excel Add-In

The following Sample.Basic retrieve is valid in the Excel Add-In:
Actual
100-10
Jan
New York
1234
Connecticut
5678
It will retrieve in Smart View, but always converts immediately to this:
Actual
100-10
Jan
New York
1234
Connecticut
5678
Note that the Scenario and Product members have jumped over to 'stack' on the Year member.
I can't find any way to stop this happening. The context is converting some legacy Add-In reports. Users don't want to change the layout at all, if avoidable.

GlennS_3 wrote:
Frankly for me, the issue you have is minor, but I don't know your users
Hi Glenn, to respond (seriously) to this point - yes, it's not really a disaster. But there are ten years' of accumulated Add-In reports at this client, some formatted carefully for presentation.
One nasty real example:
Say those POV/page members for Scenario and Product are fed from formulas; cell references to a master sheet. And that those rows are hidden for display purposes.
Now the user starts using Smart View instead of the Add-In. The first time she refreshes, everything looks good, so she thinks "No changes necessary for this one - next!".
But Smart View has - unseen - pasted the current literal values for Scenario and Product into all the other columns on the report (none of the formula options seem to affect this).
The next time the user runs it, updating the master sheet Scenario and Product doesn't have any effect on the retrieve.
It's a shame Smart View feels the need to mess with the layout, since it is clearly capable of interpreting the first format correctly.

Hyperion Planning Smart View issue with Member Names & Aliases

Hi,
Im using Smart View "Essbase" Connection to a Hyperion Planning Application, ver 11.1.1.3, however with the essbase connection i am not able to select at the smart view options to see aliases, members or both. I change the setting ( Duplicate member names allowed =true) directly at the properties of the outline in EAS, and now i am able to see the aliases, however if time I refresh using web planning/workspace this setting is undone. Furthermore i dont thing i should use it with planning. Any comments?
Kind Regards

First of all I hope you have not changed the properties of the outline in EAS for a planning application.
For more information on using aliases in smartview have a read of :- Smartview --- Display options --- to display alias names
Also you will only be able to view member name or aliases not both at the same time.
Cheers

Data Forms in Smart View - Add Members

We have data forms with Add Member functionality. When opening that data form using Smart View it puts red border around top member but then instead of allowing user to select a member it lists all of them in the rows. A good example is ICP data form where user can select partner to report balance. The data form online allows selection of individual partners but when same data form opened in Smart View it lists all 1,000+ ICP True entities.
Is syntax different when data form to be used with Smart View?
We have V11.1.1.3.

You have to suppress no data/zeros in SmartView and refresh the form to see the rows collapsed. I had created an enhancement request for this and it is currently under review by development. I would suggest you do the same if you'd like to see this fixed.
The bug is listed as 13878488 - SUPPRESS ROWS IS NOT ENABLED WHEN OPENING FORM IN SMARTVIEW
