Excel addins and essbase connection

Hi Team,
In EPM 11.1.2.1 can you please let me know how Excel addins users connect to essbase server? Does it uses the default port 1423 to connect to essbase server when we connect to the essbase application from Excel to pull data.
Thanks in advance.

In a default installation, the Add-In initially contacts the Essbase agent on 1423, and is then connected to the individual Essbase application using ports in the range 32768 to 33768.
See also AGENTPORT, SERVERPORTBEGIN and SERVERPORTEND in the Technical Reference. If non-default values have been configured you will see these parameters in the Essbase.cfg file for your installation.

Excel addins and essbase authentication flow in 11.1.2.2

Hi Team,
Can you please let me know how enterprise authentication flow happens between excel addins and Essbase. Please let me how when I provided enterprise userid/password for authentication in excel addins, where does the authentication happens. Does the essbase agent authenticate directly against LDAP or it has a different flow for authenticating the user.
Thanks for your time and input

Hi Abhishek,
Can you please explain CAPI . Did you meant Common API?
Can you please let me know if userid/password property are sent directly to external directory server (LDAP/AD) from the essbase server when a user is passing userid/password from Excel addin.

Excel Addin and SmartView disappear from excel

Hi There,
We use Excel 2007, Excel Addin and SmartView have been working fine, but it "disappear" from the ribbon or menu all of sudden, I check Excel Addin, it shows Essexcln and Oracle Hyperoin SmartView for office under "Active Application Add-ins".
Any advice?
Thanks

I had the same issue once. It turned out that some SAP query addins did not get along with essbase add-in and bullied it out of the playgroud. You might want to check on that.

Problems with Excel 2007 and Essbase 6.5

Hi,
Two quick questions:
1. We are planning to upgrade our office to 2007, XP professional SP2 but still going to use Essbase excel add-in 6.5 for some users and Essbase 7.3 add-in for others. Has anyone faced any problems with this combination?
2. The only problem I encountered so far was when I double click a member name for retrieval, the pointer (cursor/icon) flickers / flashes continuously. But when I take the pointer out of the excel spreadsheet, the flicker goes away. Does anyone know a fix to this. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm admin of an hyperion essbase database.
I'm testing our addin 6.5.1 with excel 2007.
First problem evocated on retrieve is confirmed.
I continue my test and tell you if i find another problem.
What i would say is that old version can be unsupported but i'm sure we can use this addin on excel 2007, i hope.
Regards.

ODI and Essbase: Connection, Reverse Engineering, loading

Hi, please heeeeeeeelp me to understand how can I connect to Essbase, Reverse Engineer, and load data from a file!!!!!
I work with ODI and Essbase for the first time. I've read ODI documentationbut it did't help.
I have ODI 10.1.3.4.0
I have Hyperion and Essbase
ODI server, my ODI client and Essbase are located in different servers.
I have a work repository.
In the "Topology manager" in "Physical Architecture" under the "Essbase Hyperion" I created "Data Server" and in the definition tab I filled "Name", "Server" (with port), "User", "Password".
In the JDBC tab I did nothing.
In the physical schema in the definition tab I filled: "Application (Catalog)", "Database (Schema)", "Application (Work catalog)" (the same as first), "Database (Work schema)" (the same as second).
In the "Context" tab I insert a new line and chose the "Context" tha I had created before and type a new logical schema("").
(When I was creating the context I just filled Context "Name" and "Code" (automatically))
Then I want to reverse engineer data.
I opened ODI designer, created a new model: Definition tab: "Technology" = Hyperion Essbase, "Logical schema" = My_Hyperion_logic_schema
Reverse tab: "Context" = My_Hyperion_context
When I try to reverse engineer data in the Selective Reverse tab I get following error:

There are no supported addins for Excel 2003 until you get to the Essbase 7.0 or 7.1?) versions of Essbase.Tim TowApplied OLAP, Inc

Hyperion Essbase Excel Addin - Unable to connect

Hi,
We have added In2Hyp Essbase Ribbon.xlam addin to Excel 2010, however when the user clicks on connect, there is no response - no prompt to enter the credential.
Please share your inputs on why we are unable to connect.
Thanks.

Hi, never heard about a commercial Essbase ribbon or maybe this one I just found out : http://essbase-ribbon.com/ indeed it is a beta commercial ribbon from a welll known US consulting company (Interrel) - a company where you worked in the past or am I wrong Cameron?
^^^ Yep, that's the one. I used to be an employee there; I had/have nothing to do with the product. I wonder if there are others? The first to the market tends to have a really large advantage in market share but of course that can change.
I have Andy Pope's web page as one of my favorites and one day soon I will actually play with the ribbon editor.
BTW I hate this bloody forum as I have to signup everytime - as Firefox doesn't keep the password for it. Any tip welcomed.^^^ remember password
It looks like the key is to get FireFox to ignore OTN's js command to turn autocomplete off.
Also, the Opera browser seems to have no problem with remembering the userid and password, and that is on my smart stupid phone.

Excel addin and Web Analysis Security

Hi All

Regards.
Edited by: user8819264 on Jul 8, 2010 6:52 AM

You can restrict the users access to the reports by providing access to them. (Login to workspace, Right click and Edit Permissions). By assigning filters you can restrict the access to more granular levels. I remember you are saying it is planning application. Make sure you have setup the right filters to that user. You can review the filters for that user from EAS console

Vista, Excel 2007 and Essbase 9.2.0.3

hi I am trying to install Essbase Analytics on my Vista Home Premium machine with OFFICE 2007. It is not listed as a supported excel version. I want to find out if it is compatible or if I have to install a version of office which is supported by Hyperion? Thanks

 Hyperion has not yet shipped a version of their products that is supported on either Vista or Excel 2007. Note: our Dodeca product is, as far as I know, the only Essbase client software that is supported on Windows Vista. Tim

Getting "safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost" on a popular UK electrical retailer when trying to click and collect, yet I have excellent 3G and WIFI connections

When I try and use a click and collect service via a popular electrical retailers website in the UK I get " safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost"
I have a superb WIFI connection and have tried it via 3G.
I am not getting this on other websites, however have recently updated Safari.
Any ideas?

Install Chrome and see if the problem lies with Safari...that's where it was with my mini.

Excel addin with Retrieve and save/Update buttons

Hi , we wanted to fetch data from sharepoint list and the data will be displayed once user clicks on retrieve button on excel addin ribbon . we have to show a WPF/Winform control where in user can perform filtering and fetch data again. user can manually
change the data and upon saving the data should get updated .please suggest examples of excel addin ,how to add wpf/win form controls ,and the entire flow .
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
You can use SharePoint web service to retrieve list data to Excel as Dimitri has suggested, and for the questions about creating Excel addin and controls you can post in "Excel
for developer" forum for a better assistant with more Excel dev experts.

Smart view -excel addin

they does the same retrieval
just want to know whats the difference between excel addin and smart view

Smart View works with all of the office products not just Excel and is the replacement for the Add-in. Smartview uses Web Services (APS) while the add-in uses less secure TCP-IP connections. Smart ciew works with Essbase, Planning and HFM while the add-in only works with Essbase. There are a ton of other differences depending on what version you are using. Version 11.1.2.1.102 has the best parity with Smart View having about 99 percent of the Add-in functionality for Essbase, plus a number of enhancements that the add-in can't handle

Is it possible to add Attribute(column) to entity via Excel addin?

I can create an entity via the excel addin and update data in it but i cannot add additional columns (attributes) to it via the excel addin once its created. am i missing something or is it just not possible?

Winston, is this still an issue?
Thanks!

Answer an interesting question?
Create a wiki article about it!
I worked around it using the excel addin, but the question is to see if its possible to do this in teh MDS web UI, without using excel, as its not very good design to have to jump from the browser based designer to excel and back in order to manage an MDS model.

Bex Excel addin

Hi All,
I have created an excel addin, and set up an auto open in excel. This addin works fine when i open excel, which is shown in the addin tab as soon as i open excel. But when i am opening anlayzer this addin is not shown, and it has to be run manually each time. Please let me know if someone has come across this situation and solution for the same, so that the addin shows when ever bex analyzer is opened also.Please reply me if you need any calrifications.Thanks.
Thanks & Regards,

Open your workbook.
Click on Design Mode button.
Select a new area of the Excel grid and click on "Analysis Grid" button.
This Analysis Grid will show your query.
Then, click over the Analysis Grid.
A new windows should be opened.
You will see a filed named "Dataprovider". Click on "Change Data Provider" and select your new query.
You can repeat these steps and put queries (could be the same) on different places of your workbook.
Also, you can use different filters for same query. So, different result should be shown.
Workbook is a great tool.
Do not forget. There is a limitation of 750 000 data cells. BEx Analyzer cannot handle more than this number.
Best Regards,
Edward John
