Essbase/Excel API Developer Available

Hello,My name is Bill Handelman and I am available for any permanent positions in the Chicago area or contract opportunities anywhere in the US.Since the mid 90's I have been doing data reporting/business intelligence development with Essbase, Excel and Access VBA, Essbase APIs, Esscmd, Business Objects, Analysis Services, and Proclarity. I have extensive experience working with users to determine their reporting needs, and experience doing the development work. You can contact me as follows:Bill Handelman847-989-1758 (cell)847-470-9851 (home)[email protected]

OK, just a follow-up:
Given the following code from the QueryData.java sample:
// NOTE: Change the following variables to suit your setup.
private static String s_userName = "user1";
private static String s_password = "Pwd123";
private static String s_provider = "Embedded"; // Default
private static String s_analyticSvrName = "houhype028";
private static String s_appName = "Mgt_Rpt";
private static String s_cubeName = "Mgt_Rpt";
private static final int FAILURE_CODE = 1;
I get the following error:
ERROR: Cannot sign on to domain. Error initializing the ORB. com/essbase/server/framework/ManageableSession
In Excel I have under the Essbase Connect Dialog:
Server: Houhype028
Username: User1
Password: Pwd123
Application/Database
Mgt_Rpt Mgt_Rpt
I am not sure this is working properly. Again I am not using any of the web services, just want to connect directly connect to Essbase.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can we use Essbase JAVA API in Hyperrion Planning

    Hi,
    I want to load data and extract data from Hyperion Planning applications. can i use Essbase Java APIs to do this Or is there any separate set of APIs available for Planning Applications ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Prince

    Hi John,
    I have following doubts regarding loading data to Hyperion planning by a custom connector
    1) Loading data to Hyperion Planning application using Essbase Java API would be possible at application layer (Hyperion Planning) or at database layer (loading data directly to essbase database) ?
    2) If we load data directly to essbase database how are we going to recognize which essbase server is connected with Hyperion Planning application ? Does user require to know in advance the underlying databse server ? Is there any API in Essbase or in Planning to connect to Planning application ?
    3) If we load data directly to essbase database how to find out Planning applications and essbase application ? In other words how to differentiate between essbase applications and Hyperion Planning appllications ? Or How to recognize Planning applications ? Is there any API in Essbase to find out this ?
    4) If we read data directly from Essbase how do we recognize data from a Planning application ?
    5) What is the difference between Classic planning application and EPMA planning application ? Can we develop a connector to work with both these flavour or type ?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Prince

  • What version of Essbase Excel add-in support 64 bit Windows 7 on our PC?

    1) Can anyone tell us what is latest version of 64 bit Essbase Excel-add-in 11.1.1.3.x and will this latest version of Essbase Excel add-in support 64 bit Windows 7 on our PC?
    2) we downloaded Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 and was not able to connect to Essbase 11.1.1.3 server. It gave an error message - "This version is newer than the Essbase server." Is there a workaround? (we were hoping 11.1.2 would support 64 bit windows 7)
    ps. There is a knowlegebase article that teaches us how to get Smartview 11.1.2 to connect to Essbase. We could not quite follow the badly written KB artible, but Ms. V from Oracle tech support claims she was able to connect and she wrote the article.
    We did manage to get Smartview 11.1.2 to connect to Planning 11.1.1.3!!

    Thanks John and Jasmine.
    John,
    I am able to connect using Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 and see the list of Essbase server 11.1.1.3 app/databases. However when I tried to select one of the applications/databases, I get the Essbase warning "This version of Essbase 11.1.1.3) is older than the version of the Essbase API (11.1.2.0) you are using."
    I get sent back to Essbase system Login screen and am asked to select a app/database. Add-in keeps giving me the above message - none of the 11.1.1.3 databases would allow me to connect.
    I guess you guys did not experience this problem?

  • Extract data from Essbase using APIs

    Hi All
    I was going through the API documentation for Essbase and data extraction from Essbase using API.
    It seems APIs make use of Report script to extract data from Essbase. This would increae the overhead of writing a report script everytime you need to extract data from Essbase.
    Is there any other method to extract/export whole or specific data from essbase using APIs?
    How does Excel Add-in retrieves data from essbase without any report script?
    Can Provider services be helpful in any way to achieve this?
    Please help

    Hi,
    Its hard to say if there is a faster way without knowing how you're doing it now. A few questions:
    - why are you using the API to get at Essbase Data, especially if you've already defined a (some) report scripts?
    - if you want to use provider services, vs having to ensure all the libraries and the client are present, why not use the JAPI?
    - Without seeing your code, its hard to know why you're getting out of memory errors. What are you doing with the data as you're parsing it from the report?
    Grid API exists for the C API, and more noteable the JAPI, but not VB(I'm surprised the VB api still exists).
    Why not just use the Java API?

  • How to secure data transmission from Essbase Excel add-in to Essbase Server

    I have a requirement to secure the data transmission (encrypt) the data transmission from the Essbase excel add in on the client machine to the Essbase server. I have confirmed with Oracle support that the excel add-in and the API only transmit the data in binary from with no encryption.
    I wanted to see if anyone has implemented this before?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Technical support gave you the correct answer, it is
    not supported. You might check with Tim Tow
    http://www.appliedolap.com to see if either the
    Dodeca or ActiveOlap products support encryption.Glenn is correct in that Oracle doesn't support it. More specifically, the Essbase server itself does not support it.
    The other products mentioned in this thread, Smartview, Spreadsheet Services, Dodeca and ActiveOLAP, all can talk to the middle tier via https and are thus encrypted through that portion of the transaction. However, the communication from the middle tier, Analytic Provider Services in the case of System 9, talks to Essbase via TCP/IP unencrypted. If your middle tier/Essbase server connections are not 'sniffable', then essentially they are secured (albeit not encrypted).

  • No. of Columns limitations in Essbase Excel retrieval.

    Dear All,
    May I know the number of columns that Excel Essbase add-in supports. We are facing an issue while retreiving data for 261 columns in excel 2007 version fom Essbase 9.3.0 server.
    Earlier I came across the situation that Essbase add-in for 2003 will support only 256 columns.
    Please advise ASAP.
    Your quick assistance will be highly appreciated

    Hi Razeesh,
    1. 256 columns was not a essbase excel add in constraint , but its of 2003 microsoft excel limitation,as it has 65,536 row limitation.
    2. Coming to 2007, they have increased number of possible columns from 256 to 16384 ,so should be able to retrieve more columns technically. I dont see it as excel add in issue again. But i have not checked with so many columns , but from 2007 excel perspective they have defintely increased from 256 and also increase the row count from 65536 to more than a million.

  • Query on Essbase Excel Add-in

    I have a query on Essbase excel addin 6.5..By anyway is it possible to restrict the visibility of applications/Databases listed to any particular user for which they dont have access?
    I am using Essbase Application Manager 6.5.6. Please guide me if someone is aware of this.

    I, too, would recommend rebuilding the workbook.. Excel workbooks can get some funny behaviors, particularly if they contain VBA code. VBA in Excel stays 'semi-compiled' and never really clears itself out and a bunch of phantom references remain (and are completely hidden). I have seen some very strange behavior cleaned up by rebuilding the workbook..
    My old friend, Excel MVP Rob Bovey, has a utility specifically built to rebuild workbooks at http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/Utilities.htm.

  • Where is the Google Web APIs Developer's Kit and developer's license key???

    Hi!
    I'm trying to follow the web services tutorial on page 490 of the Oracle JDeveloper 10g Handbook (written in 2004 so it is a little dated). Part I of the tutorial is to register with Google and download the Google Web APIs Developer's Kit, but I can't find it anywhere (at least not with that name). Does anyone know where is it?
    On a related topic, this tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/balusamy.html) talks about a Google developer's license key (Understanding Google Web APIs section), but again, when I created a Google account I did get a confirmation email, but no second email with no key. Where do I find this?
    TIA for any help.

  • Essbase Excel Add-in for Excel 2013

    Hi There,
    I recently upgrade from Excel 2010 to 2013, it seems Essbase Excel Add-in (1.1.2.2) has some issue with Excel 2013, does anybody experience this too, any advice on this?
    Thanks

    The excel add-in is not certified to work with Excel 2013 and a matter of fact, the only version of Smart View certified with it is 11.1.2..5 which just came out. The Essbase Add-in has not been updated in a shile and has been susetted by Oracle so there will be no new versions of it
