EPM 11.1.2.3.500 - Smart View Smart Queries Provisioning

Hi All,
Quick question around Smart Queries in SV (SV:11.1.2.5.215) and user provisioning. Been doing some testing today - it seems like only users with administrative privileges to the Essbase Cluster have access to create Smart Queries - otherwise they are presented with a #NoAccess warning at the top of the house.
Anyone experience this before?

Oracle finally acknowledged it as a bug in their latest section of Known Issues in Smartview 11.1.2.5.216 Readme
• 18428866
A user with access privileges to an Essbase database is unable to create a Smart Query when connected to that database.

Smart View Essbase Queries 9.3.3 & 9.3.1

I'm having some difficulty isolating the cause of this problem.
I have SV 9.3.3 & create an Essbase query, this is then opened & refreshed by a user who has SV 9.3.1, but the POV resets back to the default members 'Account', 'Entity' etc.
Is it because of the different versions on my machine compared to the user ? Essbase is version 9.3.1.3.
Thanks
Steve

The CSSImportExport utility is for export/import provisioning from Shared Services
Target : Essbase 11.1.2 NO Shared Services at all, But we would like to export security from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2 to rebuilt the users/groups/filters in the native security of Essbase 11.1.2Is essbase in standalone mode then? If so you will need to look at alternative method for export/importing security, possibly Maxl

Installing Smart View in local computer

Hi,
I am new to installation of EPM softwares. Can anybody please let me know if I need to install Essbase client (alongwith Foundation services, Provider services and others) before installing Smart View in my local computer?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm glad to hear you got it working! It sounds like the error you're getting might apply to an add-in other than Smart View. I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with your previous post.
There is a bit of confusion here. Smart Slices are created using the Smart Slice Designer, and listed in the Smart View Panel. <- you need admin privs to do this.
There is a forum here specifically for Smart View Smart View You may want to post there as this is more about that than it is Planning.

64-bit Smart View + Excel 2010 64-bit Issues - Help Please

Hello everyone.
First, I am not an "IT guy" so please bare with me as I am not technical but need help.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and Excel 2010 64-bit. I installed Oracle Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition 64-bit as an add-in within Excel.
I have worked with our "Hyperion Admins" to connect to the right server so that my "private connections" are set correctly (hopefully that makes sense).
However, when I attempt to refresh my Smart View query I end-up retrieving no data. The "refresh" button under "Smart View" in Excel will proceed as a refresh is occurring but then not return data (I know this Smart View template works as I've used it many times on 32-bit Excel).
Our admins have informed me that I cannot use 64-bit Smart View because our "server" is on a 32-bit O/S (or something similar to that). To me, the logic doesn't make sense and I'm hoping that there is a solution the admins are not aware of.
Happy to answer any questions and appreciate any help.

We had a similar experience as JTF, HsGetValues would not work but the AdHoc function worked fine. I put in an SR with Oracle and they refereced the below document. We ended up having IT install 32 bit office on the machine along with 32 bit Smartview (11.1.2.2.300) and now it is working fine.

Intermittent errors when retrieving through smart view (11.1.2.5.210) in Oracle 11.1.2.3.500

We are getting the below errors when retrieving from huge smart view sheets for couple of our applications. We have increased the time out settings from the local registry, server registry, mod_wl_ohs file, Web logic console, http.conf, Essbase.properties. Also, increased the JVM from opmn.xml & setCustomParamsAnalyticProviderServices.bat. However we still face the error.
Note: this is an intermittent error and does not happen all the time.
Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error(12152).
Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error(12031).
Also, we are facing retrieval performance issues after we upgraded to 11.1.2.3.500 after we migrated from 11.1.1.3.500. Has anyone faced this issue? if so, any suggestions in improving the retrieval performance (especially with MDX member formulas in ASO applications) in 11.1.2.3.500 version?
Smart view version: 11.1.2.5.210

Is there a load balancer being used?
Does the issue common on both Shared and Private connection?
Smartview client
     A)    add a essbase.cfg to the client machine in smartview\bin
             the file will have 3 entries
            NETDELAY 2000
            NETRETRYCOUNT 2000
            NETTCPCONNECTRETRYCOUNT 200
You can give it a try on a single client machine and check is the result is improved.

EPM 11.1.2 and Smart View 11.1.2.1

Hello,
We've got lot of issues with Offline mode in Planning 11.1.2 and Smart View 11.1.2.
So we've tried Smart View 11.1.2.1 and the last Offline setup on our 11.1.2 server and it works fine now.
Do you think it could be unstable to use Smart View 11.1.2.1 on a server 11.1.2 ?
I know the Smart view is usually +"downward compatible"+ but I'd like to have your opinion
Thanks
Pierre
PS: Is there a place to discuss about the advantage to migrate from 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1 ? I search for a general discussion, not a "question"

Seems like SV 11.1.2.1 is supported for 11.1.2 as per certification matrix here, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html
SV 11.1.2.1 will support MS office 2010 (32 bit only).
Important differences is that 11.1.2.0 can not be used to update from earlier versions and can not be updated itself. This is corrected in version 11.1.2.1

Hyperion Strategic Finace are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections (EPMS 11.1.2.3)

Dears,
I'm can't access Hyperion Strategic Finance trhough SmartView because are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections.
But if I try connect trhough Private Connections it's work fine.
I've tried reconfigure Providers Services, but didn't work.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance

It should be possible using a Shared connection to Strategic Finance as it is documented - Creating a connection using Shared Connections , as far as I am aware it is only OBIEE where you have to use the XML method.
It might be worth checking in workspace under workspace settings and enabled products to see if Strategic Finance is enabled.

Can't load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis)

Hi,
There is EPM application where I want to give ability to planners to load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis). In Shared Services there are four options in
EssbaseCluster-1: Administrator, Create/Delete Application, Server Access, Provisioning Manager. Only Administrator can submit data in smart view (ad-hoc analysis). But I don't want to grant Essbase administrator to planners, I'm just interested to give them ability to load data through ad-hoc analysis. Please suggest!

I take that you refreshed the Planning security, If not refresh the security of those users. Managing Security Filters
Check in EAS whether those filters are created with "Write" permissions.

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 -

Unable to access Smart View 11.1.2.5.216 within Outlook 2007

All,
I uninstalled Smart View 11.1.1.3.x from my MS Windows 7 (x32) Professional SP1 machine and installed Smart View 11.1.2.5.216 during the same session (ie, without rebooting).
While SmartView comes up perfectly fine when I access Excel, Word and PowerPoint and I can connect to the various 11.1.2.3.00 EPM data sources, I cannot see the Smart View ribbon under MS Outlook. This is in spite of:
- having changed my MS Office 2007 installation to run Visual Basic Scripting Support on my PC for MS Outlook 2007 only (ie, via Control Panel > Programs and Features > MS Office Standard 2007 > Change > Add or Remove Features);
- deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions key and underlying sub-keys, after uninstalling 11.1.1.3 and before installing 11.1.2.5.216
There are no disabled COM add-ins displayed under MS Outlook 2007 and there were no further Hyperion-related entries (ie, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Hyperion.CommonAddin) to amend\delete under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns. Moreover, I searched but could not find the Smart View PST file on my machine.
Would anyone have any suggestions as to where else I could be looking and\or what else I could be doing to enable Smart View under MS Outlook 2007?
Thanks in advance.
JBM

Hi JBM,
Yeah for SmartView in outlook it does need PST file and on installation it created it automatically.
Could you try adding smartview addin in outlook,
and browse hsaddin.dll and hstbar.xla which are smartview required files.hstbar.xla in mandate one. do try this. if it doesn't work then i would suggest you to try uninstalling SmartView
reboot your machine
open cmd prompt with admin rights and navigate to the path where smartview executable is present and launch it through cmd prompt , it would install smartview with full admin rights and solve most of the issues.
Thanks

Issue with Smart View Help Contents using v11.1.2.0.01

Hi there,
I just installed v11.1.2.0.01 (Build 003) of the Smart View add-in on a MS Windows XP SP2 PC with MS Office 2003 SP3.
Unfortunately, the Help Contents in MS Excel does not seem to work as whenever I select Smart View > Help > Contents, nothing gets displayed. Selecting Smart View > Help > Technical Support and Smart View > Help > EPM Documentation takes me to various links on the www.oracle.com site.
I uninstalled then re-installed this specific version a few times but to no avail. I even checked the contents of each subdirectory where Smart View has been installed but could not find any Help files whatsoever.
1. Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
2. If yes, what do I need to do to resolve this issue and get the Smart View Help to be displayed?
Thanks in advance,
JBM

Well, reading the documentation about knowing where to find the documentation would have actually helped. At the bottom of page 10 of the Smart View ReadMe document, the following is mentioned under the "Documentation Updates" section:
"For Smart View online help to be available, the Shared Connections URL on the Advanced page of the Options dialog box must contain an EPM Workspace URL."
This question is now answered.

Not able to get Essbase Server list in Office with Smart View 11.1.2.1

Anybody tried Shared Connection in Smart View 11.1.2.1? I am able to connect to but it does not show any servers in the non editable drop-down box. I tried this with Office 2003 sp3, Office 2007 and office 2010 but none of them is working. Also i tried to find out the datasourse.xml file in LWS-aps in shared services console but its not there. i tried the solution given on this link also but the datasourse.xml file is not in place.
http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/2011/04/smart-view-private-connection-issue.html
my Environment.
Win 2003 SP2 32 bit
SQL 2005 on separate windows box
EPM 11.1.2.1
Shared Services
Essbase Server
Essbse Client
Essbase Integration
Provider services
Essbase Studio
Configured all of the above components successfully.
i'm connecting to Essbase through this URL http://<server>:19000/workspace/SmartViewProviders . it shows the login window and allow me to get in. but the drop down box is empty. no server listed.
Please let me know what I'm missing.

I am also getting same problem as gaurav,
I checked,"http://<servername>:13080/aps/SmartView" Analytic Provider Services also running.
instead of Server name i tried localhost, ip address, and computer name.
but still not getting anything in drop down, even "Add New Server" Option also.
I thought this may be because Analytic Provider Services was configured after Shared Services. But for that i followed the steps:
1. Stop the Analytic Provider Server and Foundation Services.
2. Open the EPM System Configurator through Start -> All Programs -> Oracle EPM System -> Foundation Services -> EPM System Configurator.
3. Expand Hyperion Foundation and only tick the option 'Deploy to Application Server'
4. Click Next through the Configurator until complete.
5. Restart the Foundation and Analytic Provider Server Services.
6. Open Excel, connect to the Shared Connections.
But problem Continuous.

Smart View for Essbase Not Available in Planning Rapid Deployment

I have successfully deployed EPM 11.1.2.3 by following the steps in the Planning Rapid Deployment guide (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/epm_planning_rapid_deploy/epm_planning_rapid_deploy.html). However, when I bring up Smart View using a Shared Connections URL of http://<servername>:9000/workspace/SmartViewProviders, I only get connections for Planning and for the Reporting and Analysis Framework. How can a I get a connection for Essbase?

As it turns out, the 11.1.2.3 Planning Rapid Deployment wizard doesn't install Essbase Provider Services, just Planning Provider Services and Reporting and Analysis Provider Services. Until I installed Essbase Provider Services, I wasn't even able to create a private connection to Essbase. I had to run InstallTool.cmd and select "Provider Services Web Application" from the Essbase section of the selection screen. I also had to run the configuration utility and select "Deploy to Application Server" under "Provider Services" in the Essbase section of the selection screen.
After that, I was able to create a private connection to Essbase with this URL: http://<server name>:9000/aps/APS
Although the private connection was now working, the Essbase connection was still not showing up as a shared connection in Excel, when I set the Excel Smart View option for Shared Connections URL to http://<server name>:9000/workspace/SmartViewProviders. I was able to get this working by running the configuration utility again and selecting "Configure Web Server" in the "Hyperion Foundation" section of the selection screen.
I was also able to create an XML file as Celvin suggested, using http://<server name>:9000/aps/APS for the Essbase connection. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you are using Shared connections, please use Product Server URL: the URL of the server, using the syntax jdbc:oraclebi://<servername>:<port>/ for Oracle BI EE or http://<servername>:<port>/HyperionPlanning/SmartView for Planning for Planning.
