Essbase Add-In

Clarification on the Addin-error of "Maximum number of rows processed [250000] exceeded [250190]" when suppressing zeros and missing. I'm using v11.1.2.1 and my essbase is connected to the Add-in. In my properties file, I'm seeing SmartView settings for service.olap.dataquery.grid.maxrow= 5000 and maxcollumn = 255. Smartview is used in conjunction with HFM. None of the hfm users have complained about excel issues.. In my essbase.cfg file, should i put in SSPROCROWLIMIT 500000, as its not currently present. Would that solve my issue?

The essbase.properties file will not be used if you are using the Addin, it will be if you are using an Essbase connection via APS using Smart View, HFM does not use the essbase properties file.

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

Re: Essbase Add-in and Excel 2010

I have a user who is getting the following error:
Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem11r1\products\exceladdin\bin\essexcin.xll" add-in. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
Do we need to reinstall the Essbase add-in ?
I have had the user disable other add-ins via 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins and that didn't resolve the problem.
Are there any compatibility issues with 64 bit Excel?
Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear
'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins
Excel version : 2010
Add-in version Essbase Spreadsheet add-in, Fusion Edition 11.1.2
I would appreciate a quick response.
My email id is < removed by moderator so that you don't get spammed for all Eternity >

Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear
'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins
The user has the following items:
Essexcin.
In2Hyp Essbase ribbon.
Oracle Essbase Query Designer Addin.
The items which I have in 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins is:
In2Hyp Essbase Ribbon
Oracle Essbase OLAP Server DLL (Non- Unicode)
Oracle Essbase Query Designer Addin.
Could you please kindly help me understand the difference?
Do you recommend reinstalling the Essbase add-in ?
Thank you very much for your help.

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.

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

Hi All,

"Invalid Command 11607 Received in Request Manager"
Environment :
Essbase 6.5
MS Excel 2000
Please Help...Thanks in Advance

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.

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.

Essbase Add-In on Citrix

We are using the Essbase Add-in for Excel on Citrix and are experiencing a problems with retrievals if multiple sessions are launched.
The problem occurs when a user opens up two sessions of Citrix/Excel and performs a retrieve in session 2, but then closes session 1. This causes a rogue Excel process on the Citrix server and that user then experiences inability to retrieve data.
We understand that multiple sessions are not supported for the Add-in and that running multiple sessions will cause retrieval issues. However, we are trying to find a solution that prevents rogue Excel sessions if and when a user happens to perform an Essbase retrieve from a second Citrix sessions.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem and do you simply live with it or have you found an acceptable solution or workaround?

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).

Essbase ADD-in and SSL

Anyone know a way to secure a connection from the ADD-In?
I cannot get the Essbase Add-in to use SSL. Even with a load balancer doing offload.
Any ideas?

I believe your options are limited (to say, VPN access).
It's generally deemed not that important to have the add-in traffic secured. The data is being sent in a form that doesn't lend itself to easy reads and the login credentials are encrypted (finally). A casual observer with a network traffic monitor wouldn't get anything usefull, while a hacker applying intentional effort would be better off hacking an account and pulling the data directly.

Essbase Add-in and scheduled tasks - Canned reports

I have been trying to figure out how to run our canned reports utilizing the WIndows Task Scheduler. We currently run most of our canned reports in Excel with the Essbase Add-In and VBA. DOes anyone out there have any suggestions on how I can run these reports daily by scheduling them to run?

Have you explored reporting tool such as Oracle BIEE, Hyperion Interactive Reporting or Financial Reporting? These 3 have the capabilities to schedule reports.
