Essbase - SmartView Smart Slice View Filter

Hallo There,
My customer asks me to create filter in SmartView. When we create Smart Slice for Essbase, we will have the list
New SmartSlice
New SmartSlice 1
New SmartSlice 2
etc..
My customer wants if she can view New SmartSlice 1, but her colleagues won't be able to see New SmartSlice 1 as well, only can see New SmartSlice 2.
As far as I know, this is not possible as Essbase doesn't store any security for Smart Slice level.
Could someone please advice if that's really not possible or there is any workaround regarding the request?
Thank you.

I don't think you can assign security to Smart Slice, by the only security that I see is smartview.smartslice.management.grantAnyUser which will grant any user to create a Smart Slice (Didn't see that working for a Read user though)
Regards
Celvin

Where are Smart Slices stored (server / client)

Hi,
I wanted to know where are the Smart Slices stored ? Are they stored up in the client machine (machine dependent) OR are they stored up in the server (and hence accessible to the user from any machine) ?
We have big business group who are enthusiastic about Smart Slices and the wonders it could do in their needs.
Thanks in advance for your interest in this thread !!!

They are not stored on the client as they are available to everyone. I'm not sure if they are stored in APS (which I think) or in Essbase.

Smart Slice error

Hi There,
I got my data source manager connecting to my essbase appilcation and database, and am able to do ad hoc analysis. Then I try to right click database and add "Smart Slice". However I got the following error:
cannot get olap user. Essbase error(1030008):NULL argument (2) passed to essapi function essgetuser
not sure what is wrong here.
Thanks

HI Donny,
Make sure you're provisioned as Administrator in APS and in the Database where you're wanting to create the smart slice.

List View Filter - I want to create List View based on a specific user

I want to create a List View Filter based on specified user ID. I dont want to specify the [Me] for filtering the view based in current logged in User.
I want the view to be based on specific user ID for Ex: "AD\JohnDoe"
Thanks
Nate

The People/Group Picker field has several options for how the name is displayed. For example you can set it to be the friendly name or the account name. When you create your View Filter, make sure that you are using the same format as the field's display
type.

Passing Session variable of DATE data type to opaque view filter

Hi Everyone,
Can you guys please help me in passing session variable of DATE data type in RPD's physical layer 'opaque view' filter for Oracle database
I tried following syntax, syntax wise I didn't got getting any error, but at the same time this opaque view is not fetching any records as well. my session variable is "END_DATE" and its value is 1998/12/31:00:00:00(as shown in RPD session windows, datatype is DATETIME)
SELECT AMOUNT_SOLD, CHANNEL_ID, CUST_ID, PROD_ID, PROMO_ID, QUANTITY_SOLD, TIME_ID FROM SH.SALES
WHERE TIME_ID =TO_DATE( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.END_DATE)','MM/DD/YYYY')
SELECT AMOUNT_SOLD, CHANNEL_ID, CUST_ID, PROD_ID, PROMO_ID, QUANTITY_SOLD, TIME_ID FROM SH.SALES
WHERE TIME_ID = TO_DATE( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."END_DATE")','MM/DD/YYYY')
SELECT AMOUNT_SOLD, CHANNEL_ID, CUST_ID, PROD_ID, PROMO_ID, QUANTITY_SOLD, TIME_ID FROM SH.SALES
WHERE TRUNC(TIME_ID) = TO_DATE( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."END_DATE")','MM/DD/YYYY')
In past, I was able to pass a session variable into a opaque view filter using DATEOF function, but that was in DB2.
I appreciate your time and help

Finally, I got right format. here it is
to_date(substr('valueof(NQ_SESSION.END_DATE)',1,10), 'yyyy-mm-dd')
and here is the source from where I got this information

SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

Hi there,
Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
Thanks,

Hi，
Per my knowledge,
it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

View Filter

I need help on a view filter. I tried it via view UI setting but does not work.
Then I am working in designer with the following code. I got an error when I open it in browser “Cannot complete this action. Please try again.”. I appreciate if someone
can help me out on the query. Many thanks.
If in code, the condition should be
(OutstandinginvoiceTotal > 0)
    (Today() - InvoiceDate > 60
&& Today() – InvoiceDate < 30) ||
    (Today() - InvoiceDate_2 > 60
&& Today() – InvoiceDate_2 < 30)
Here is the view filter
<Query><Where>
    <And>
<Gt><FieldRef Name="OutstandingInvoiceTotal"/><Value Type="Currency">0</Value></Gt>
<And>
<Geq><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-60"/></Value></Geq>
<And>
<Lt><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-30"/></Value></Lt>
</And>
</And>
<Or>
<And>
<Geq><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate_2"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-60"/></Value></Geq>
<And>
<Lt><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate_2"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-30"/></Value></Lt>
</And>
</And>
</Or>
    </And>
</Where></Query>

I play around and the following works now. However, I need to add InvoiceDate_3 to InvoiceDate_5. I just copy the same block for InvoiceDate_2 to InvoiceDate_3 but it errors out?
<Query><Where>
   <And>
      <Gt><FieldRef Name="OutstandingInvoiceTotal"/><Value Type="Currency">0</Value></Gt>
      <Or>
      <And>
          <Geq><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-60"/></Value></Geq>
          <Lt><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-30"/></Value></Lt>
      </And>
      <And>
          <Geq><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate_2"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-60"/></Value></Geq>
          <Lt><FieldRef Name="InvoiceDate_2"/><Value Type="DateTime"><Today OffsetDays="-30"/></Value></Lt>

View Filter Presets - Yes, they can be iterated, and set, but...

Anybody know how to create a view filter?
For example, my first use case would be to filter on PV2003 - anybody know how to do that?
(Back in the good ol' days I would just run a plugin to set custom metadata, then filter on the custom metadata (like Jeffrey Friedl's Focal Length Sort did), but isn't there a better way in SDK3.0? - Even if undocumented, for example, create a view-filter preset file that accesses unexposed fields... - Lightroom would probably have to be restarted to use it though, hmmm..
Any help?
Thanks,
Rob

John,
I do have a few more cores but I think the big difference is LR3 vs LR2. I am still in 2.5 awaiting some performance fixes before switching to v3. I continue to test LR3 on both my desktop (8 cores) and laptop (2 cores). Here is what I am finding:
In version 2.5, it takes approximately 4 times longer to fill the shadow field if all are empty than simply checking. So my rate of 2-3,000 per second is primarily checking - but that is what it will be doing most of the time once the initial fill is complete. I see very little difference between my laptop and the desktop for this test.
Running v 3.0 it much, much longer to fill the fields than in v 2.5 - maybe a slow as 25/second. Again, I see very little difference between the laptop and the desktop. The worst part is that in 3.0 the incremental fill takes just as long as the initial fill - this might be related to the issue whereby issuing a Ctrl-S is not longer incremental but updates all images (hopefully an error on Adobe's part that will be corrected soon).
Conclusion, I think what you are seeing is primarily a difference between v2 and v3 of Lightroom; however, you seem to be getting much of that performance back by using the batch commands which, as a side note, I have not yet implemented since those commands just came out with v3. I just loop through the catalog and read metadata one image at a time. The relevant code (not pretty so don't laugh) is basically:
--###################### task code ###########################################
LrTasks.startAsyncTask( function()
-- get a reference to all the photos in the entire catalog
local cat_photos = nil
catalog:withReadAccessDo( function()
     cat_photos = catalog.allPhotos
end )
-- determine number of photos to be processed
local ncat_photos = #cat_photos
-- confirm the action since it can be massive on large number of photos
local message = "Are you sure you want to create the duplicate field for the folder name and set the Metadata errors field of the " .. ncat_photos .. " selected images?"
local returnbutton = di.confirm( message,nil,"Yes")
if returnbutton == "cancel" then
     progressScope:done()
     return
end
-- get access to the current catalog
catalog:withWriteAccessDo("Construct Captions", function()
--di.message("Jeff Dialog",tostring(#cat_photos),"info")
local cap_string = "Checking/Updating " .. tostring(ncat_photos) .. " images "
progressScope:setCaption(cap_string)
-- loop through each of the photos selected
local indexnum = 0
for i, photo in ipairs(cat_photos) do
indexnum = indexnum + 1
local fold = trim(photo:getFormattedMetadata('folderName'))
local kws       = photo:getFormattedMetadata('keywordTags') -- retrieves keywordes ENTERED
local sfold     = photo:getPropertyForPlugin(_PLUGIN, 'shadowFolder' )
-- remove blanks that don't work for filter bar purposes
local shadfold = string.gsub(fold, " ", "")
shadfold = string.gsub(shadfold, "_", "")
local firstchar = string.find(shadfold,"%a") -- finds first alpha character
if firstchar == nil then firstchar = #shadfold+1 end
shadfold = string.sub(shadfold,1,firstchar-1) .. "|" .. string.sub(shadfold,firstchar,#shadfold)
-- if in year/mo format, then insert dash between year and month
if firstchar == 7 then
     shadfold = string.sub(shadfold,1,4) .. "-" .. string.sub(shadfold,5,#shadfold)
end
-- COPY folder without blanks or _ to duplicate field
if shadfold ~= sfold then
     photo:setPropertyForPlugin(_PLUGIN, 'shadowFolder', shadfold )
end
end      -- of looping through selected photos
end )    -- of catalog:withWriteAccessDo
end)     -- of task

View Filter Value DP_VIEW_FILTER and Pass it to multi data providers

Hi
We are using the following command to view filter values and expand in the dataprovider_1
SAPBWOpenWindow(SAP_BW_URL_Get()"&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&HELP_SERVICE=DP_VIEW_FILTER&DATA_PROVIDER=DATAPROVIDER_1&IOBJNM="iobjnm, "FILTER",800,600);
(got the code from a PDF that showed how to use drop down for to select multiple values)
Is there a way to pass this value to multiple data providers like shown below?
SAPBWOpenWindow(SAP_BW_URL_Get()"&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&HELP_SERVICE=DP_VIEW_FILTER&DATA_PROVIDER=*&MULTI=X&IOBJNM="iobjnm, "FILTER",800,600);
There is a bug in this code and i am not sure how to use the Dataprovider = * and Multi = X!
In dropdown box, i gave affected data providers as all three..
no luck..
Please help. thanks

Put * and X in single quotes
Try using the folllowing
SAPBWOpenWindow(SAP_BW_URL_Get()"&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&HELP_SERVICE=DP_VIEW_FILTER&DATA_PROVIDER='*'&MULTI='X'&IOBJNM="iobjnm, "FILTER",800,600);

Question regarding Smart slice

Hi All,
1. How can we create a Asymmetric Smart Slice.
Eg: In row, first row containing one combination like Acc1->Entity1 and second row Acc2->Entity2
2. we have created couple of smart slices on one application, how can we replicate these smart slices to another application, kind of smart slices migration from one application to other?
3. How Can we select Level0 members of a parent? I have seen only two functions children and descendants. Descendants including the parents, but I need only Level0 members not the parents.
Thanks in Advance,

Sorry to contradict but generally JCRE doesn't need to be loaded: it's integrated inside the operating system.
Javacards are delivered with this inside, so no use to bother about loading JCRE.

Essbase Smartview VBA macros error

I have a Essbase Smartview VBA macros issue as below:
I want get a value that I choose in POV dynamic dropdown list.
And show the value in the excel.
For example:
There customer dimention -childs are IBM、ACR show in POV dynamic dropdown list.
I choose IBM in POV then in excel sheet A1 show IBM.
I try the below vba code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim vtGrid As Variant
Dim vtDimNames As Variant
Dim vtPOVNames As Variant
X = HypRetrieve("Sheet1")
If X = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Retrieve successful.")
Else
MsgBox ("Retrieve failed.")
End If
Range("F1").Select
Sts = HypGetSourceGrid("Sheet1", vtGrid)
Y = HypGetPOVItems(vtDimNames, vtPOVNames)
Range("h1").Value = Y
End Sub
'==========================================
But Y result is -3.
How did I get the value in dynamic dropdown list.
Thanks~

Few comments:
1. Range("F1").Select: Is F1 inside the grid you are rerieving? If you do a fresh retrieve Range("B2").Select is a better location and you will not get -3.
2. Range("h1").Value = Y. You are setting the error message and not the POV member name. vtPOVNames is an array of POV members and you should use Range("h1").Value =vtPOVNames(1) to get the member name. (1) being the first dimension in the POV.
3. Word of caution. You will not be able to put a valid member name in the grid if it already exists in the POV. I recommend you preface the member name by any string that will make it unique. For instance, you could use
Range("h1").Value = vtDimNames(1) & ": " &vtPOVNames(1)
This way you will see the DimensionName: Member Name.
Here is the modified code:
Sub test()
Dim vtGrid As Variant
Dim vtDimNames As Variant
Dim vtPOVNames As Variant
X = HypRetrieve("Sheet1")
If X = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Retrieve successful.")
Else
MsgBox ("Retrieve failed.")
End If
Range("b2").Select
sts = HypGetSourceGrid("Sheet1", vtGrid)
Y = HypGetPOVItems(vtDimNames, vtPOVNames)
Range("h1").Value = vtDimNames(1) & ": " & vtPOVNames(1)
End Sub

Hi,
Yes, essbase could help make your reports faster, but it depends also on the cube design. Essbase allows you to calculate all the upper levels and store it. This is (2+2=4), essbase stores 2 and 2 and 4 so then you can go and read the total with the report without having to calculate it wihle the user is retreiving the data. This is a good advantage of essbase.
About #2, no one can tell you if you should or should not use Informatica as that depends on each company. You can use OBIEE with Essbase and you will need a place to store the data that Essbase will then pull up. It could be any DB you want...
Hope this helps.

Reg Normal Read Privilege Users on Essbase through Smart View

Dear Experts,
I have a typical problem today....Am able to access the Essbase through Essbase Administrator Privileges using Smart View
Similarily, when i provide only Read only access to the "X" named user, it says Operation is not permitted under your APS user account privilleges
I remember this, earlier it was working fine for the user which has read privilege
Moreover, from HSS point of view, do we need to assign any role pertaining to "APS Application Group" to the normal user?
But i was not seeing anything for the administrator which is working and even am not able to see the provider services
application group when we try to do the privisioning... Able to see the provider services registered with Shared Services
Please let me know your suggestions....
Thanks,

Dear Experts,
Any Clues on this issue which am facing on Smart View??
Thanks,

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.

List View (filter) based on multiple fields

Hello. I've created an infopath form where a Project Manager is able to name 12 project members in various departments using a people picker field for each project member field. Is there a way to filter the list so that it shows only
the projects the individual project members are involved in based on whether he/she shows up in any of the 12 member fields? The members are not necessarily the ones creating the list item. I am limited to 10 filters in the view settings
in the sharepoint list so that won't work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great weekend.
Cory

Hi Cory,
I’m sorry, from that way you can filter by current user, but also can’t add more than 10 parameters. The only way to add
more than 10 filters is to use xpath by check add xslt filtering, then click edit.
I have a try on my server, please check the following steps.
Create a parameter by click parameters.
On the data view parameters dialog, click new parameter, name Param1. From parameter source, select server variable, set LOGON_USER as server available name. Then click ok.
Go to filter, on filter criteria dialog, check add xslt filtering, then click edit.
Add the following xslt code.
[@people.title=$Param1 or @people1.title=$Param1 or @people2.title=$Param1 or @people3.title=$Param1 or @people4.title=$Param1
or @people5.title=$Param1 or @people6.title=$Param1 or @people7.title=$Param1 or @people8.title=$Param1 or @people9.title=$Param1 or @people10.title=$Param1 or @people11.title=$Param1]
