Essbase smartview retrival versus excel add in

Hi all,
I have some performance issues with smartview. I am running a simple querry through smartview having one attribute dimension on the excel sheet, it runs for couple of minutes and throws me a time out error.
I tried the same querry using excel addin for essbase and it comes back in a second. I noticed the huge difference between these two.
Are there any configuration setting specific to essbase or provider services other than net retry count or net delay to improve the performance.
Thanks

In our experience, we don't see a significant difference between embedded mode (a/k/a direct connections) and APS mode connections.. In Dodeca, we are seeing retrieval speeds exceeding the classic add-in. Further, one of my friends that I saw at Kscope, who has written some custom Essbase Grid API functionality for his company, confirmed that he is seeing faster than classic add-in speeds as well.
Note: Smart View retrieves are not as fast as the classic add-in, particularly when the retrieves are large. The Smart View team is aware of the issue which is caused, in part, by the XML format and the associated processing.

  • Essbase 11.1.1 Excel Add-in client

    Can some one tell me where I can find Essbase 11.1.1 Excel Add-in client to download.

    Do you mean how to configure Essbase Add-In in excel??
    If it is same then no need to download anything.
    -->In Excel, select Tools > Add-Ins.
    -->In Add-ins, click Browse. Excel displays the Browse dialog box.
    -->Locate essexcln.xll(Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin) and select it.

  • Essbase 9.3.1 Excel Add-in not compatible with Office 2010?

    Hi,
    I have office 2010.
    I installed Essbase 9.3.1. I realized that Excel Add-in is not compatible with Office 2010?
    Any work around?
    I do not want to remove office 2010 and go back to office 2007.
    thanks.

  • Essbase plus license and Excel Add-In

    Hi,
    Can we perform lock and Send using Excel Add-In to Planning cubes(BSO cubes) if we have only Essbase Plus license?
    Thanks in advance for the reply.

    Thanks much for the response. This is really useful.
    Let me re-phrase the question. If I have Planning plus license for less number of users(e.g. X) compared to Essbase plus license users (e.g. Y) and all Y number of users want to use Excel add-in for lock and sned will there be any issue?
    Thanks again in advance for the response.

  • Essbase 9.3.1 excel add ins for MSOffice2007

    Hi,
    I need excel addins for msoffice 2007, I am using essbase 9.3.1.
    Please suggest me with the link from where I can download.
    Thanks.

    For the latest and last release of the addin (well unless you download a patch) try - https://edelivery.oracle.com/
    Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System (11.1.2.2.0) Media Pack for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
    It is contained in the following download - "EPM System Release 11.1.2.2.0 Client Installers for Microsoft Windows"
    or log into Oracle Support and download something like "Patch 17277732: PATCH SET UPDATE: HYPERION ESSBASE EXCEL ADDIN MSI 11.1.2.2.104" or go for an earlier patch.
    Cheers

  • Essbase connection w.r.t Smartview and Excel add-in

    donno if this is the right place for this thread, I thought planning experts are experienced with both smartview and excel add-ins
    what is the protocol used behind the scene in both ways (HTTP, RMI, TCO/IP) and which one takes less resources and works faster
    to serve better interms of performance while connected to essbase? that I know we add URL for conneceting to essbase thru aps for a
    smartview essbase connection and we directly connect to essbase in essbase excel add-in connection.
    any help is much appreciated!
    -Ram

    I think Essbase Excel add-in connects through TCP/IP whereas Smartview connects via web services (http).
    Excel add-in should be faster as it speaks directly with Essbase as opposed to Smartview which connects Essbase through another service (APS). But Smartview comes with its own advantages (i.e. better integration, smoother user experience etc.)

  • Essbase Excel Add in not working

    Hi All,
    I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 version in windows 2008 server(64 bit system)
    Server is up and running fine.!
    I have installed Excel addin, then i got one issue here. When i opened excel, Smartview is displayed on the top but Essbase is not displayed. I tried so many ways, but no use.
    give me some suggestions regarding to solve this issue..!
    Thanks,
    mady
    Edited by: mady on Nov 27, 2012 11:46 AM

    Mady, I hope you were not trying to open the Add-Ins directly from Windows. The Essbase XLL and XLA work within Excel as Add-Ins, not as executables. When I doubled-clicked on the XLL and XLA, I got the Microsoft Security warning, which I assume that is what you were doing wrong. You can also google Excel Add-Ins on how to manage it if you are not sure what to do. It's very straight forward.

  • Installing Essbase 11.1.1.2 Excel Add In (Client) and EAS on remote laptop

    Hi,
    Just got done installing Essbase 11.1.1.2 on a single Win 2003 server. Everything is installed EAS and Essbase Client. However, I need the Essbase Client to be ported to many users that are running Excel 2003. Also, i need EAS client to run from a laptop as instead of having to remote login to the server. My question is do I go through the same install process as I did for Essbase server? Or is there a smoother less complicated way to install. I think for the EAS client, it's ok but trying to roll the Excel Add In to hundreds of users, this could get messy.
    Thanks

    Systems management software like Microsoft SMS, Landesk or Radia should be able to help you to deploy software to many PC.
    You can ask your IT whether they have this in place.
    Otherwise, you can consider to use Smartview instead of Essbase Add-Ins, Smartview allow you to deploy the software to many PC and future upgrades.

  • 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?

  • 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).

  • Smart view compatible old essbase excel add-in

    hello,
    There is someone that knows if the old excel file created with old essbase excel add-in are compatible with smart view.
    because I receive the error "the row cannot contain multiple dimensione" when I refresh an old excel with smart view
    Thanks
    maxx

    I have a problem with old excel-addin, excel crash when retrieve data or drill down.
    smart view works fine, but is not compatible with old version of file excel created with old essbase add-in. Exist a work around to use old file excel with smart view.

  • Essbase Excel add-in error

    We have upgraded to Essbase 6.5.2 and when installing the excel add-in haveencountered the message "R.xls" file cannot be found. Does anyone elseknow anything about this and how to resolve this? The addin works okay,but the users get this message each time they open excel now.JC

    This sounds as if your environment variables are not set correctly or something in your registry has gone astray.I had a similar problem once which was actually caused by another VB application which was removing and adding them back in the add-ins but getting the syntax slightly wrong on the essbase add-in xla's (an extra " being created in the registry).Have you tried completely uninstalling the add-in and re-install?
