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.

Excel 2007 and Smart View 9.3.1.4.041

Dear Experts,
We are now working with Excel 2007 and Smart View 9.3.1.4.041, and encounter the problem that ervery time open the protected excel file there would be the warning message "Drawing Objectes in one or more sheet(s) in the workbook are protected. Please unprotect them and try to save again."
Can any one suggest with;
1. How to set the Excel security settings for Excel 2007 to work for smart view?
2. How to avoid the message mentioned above while working with Excel 2007?
3. How to create a protected Excel file to work with Smart View 9.3.1.4.041 both in Excel 2003 and Excel 2007?
Tks

I've experiencied similiar problems, though other users may have found a better solution, I've unlocked the spreadsheat, refreshed, and then relocked via a VBA macro. A button object at the top of the spreadsheet was added to make it easier for the users use as well. If there is a better solution I am very interested in this as well.

EPM 11.1.2 and Smart View 11.1.2.1

Hello,
We've got lot of issues with Offline mode in Planning 11.1.2 and Smart View 11.1.2.
So we've tried Smart View 11.1.2.1 and the last Offline setup on our 11.1.2 server and it works fine now.
Do you think it could be unstable to use Smart View 11.1.2.1 on a server 11.1.2 ?
I know the Smart view is usually +"downward compatible"+ but I'd like to have your opinion
Thanks
Pierre
PS: Is there a place to discuss about the advantage to migrate from 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1 ? I search for a general discussion, not a "question"

Seems like SV 11.1.2.1 is supported for 11.1.2 as per certification matrix here, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html
SV 11.1.2.1 will support MS office 2010 (32 bit only).
Important differences is that 11.1.2.0 can not be used to update from earlier versions and can not be updated itself. This is corrected in version 11.1.2.1

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,

Help! iPhoto and Olympus Viewer 2

I recently bought an Olympus camera that came with its own editing software. The Olympus Viewer 2 software has some features missing from iPhoto -- namely trapezoid geometry correction. When I set OV2 as my external editor however I get an error. When I try to 'open in external editor' OV2 will launch but it then says that it cannot open the file xxx.jpg in "preview format".
Anyone seen this type of bug?
Anyone have a better suggestion for trapezoid geometry?

Anyone have a better suggestion for trapezoid geometry?
Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac. You can download a demo version, 20 days I believe, from here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshopelements&loc=enus
If you use it in conjunction with iPhoto the following may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Issue with Smart View Help Contents using v11.1.2.0.01

Hi there,
I just installed v11.1.2.0.01 (Build 003) of the Smart View add-in on a MS Windows XP SP2 PC with MS Office 2003 SP3.
Unfortunately, the Help Contents in MS Excel does not seem to work as whenever I select Smart View > Help > Contents, nothing gets displayed. Selecting Smart View > Help > Technical Support and Smart View > Help > EPM Documentation takes me to various links on the www.oracle.com site.
I uninstalled then re-installed this specific version a few times but to no avail. I even checked the contents of each subdirectory where Smart View has been installed but could not find any Help files whatsoever.
1. Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
2. If yes, what do I need to do to resolve this issue and get the Smart View Help to be displayed?
Thanks in advance,
JBM

Well, reading the documentation about knowing where to find the documentation would have actually helped. At the bottom of page 10 of the Smart View ReadMe document, the following is mentioned under the "Documentation Updates" section:
"For Smart View online help to be available, the Shared Connections URL on the Advanced page of the Options dialog box must contain an EPM Workspace URL."
This question is now answered.

Error in Smart view

Hi,
I've just started working with the latest version, 11.1.2.1, under Windows XP and am getting a recurring error whereby every time I attempt an operation that goes to the cube it gives me "Unspecified error" in a popup window instead and the operation is not performed. I happened to stumble across a work-around - go into the Smartview options dialog, re-select the existing value from a drop-down menu (doesn't seem to matter which one) and click OK then re-attempt the cube operation and it seems to work again for a while. I've no idea what is triggering the initial problem. please suggest.
I also tried to see first hidden row in report and there is Alphabet 'L' is coming again & again so that might be an issue.
Regards

The items in the hidden first row should be your POV items. If you toggle the POV toolbar on and off these should display and hide. The question I have is if you are using 11.1.2.1.000 you should not have this first hidden row. What versions are you using for APS/Essbase and Smart View.

Essbase Smart view installation error

Getting error while installing the smart view on windows operating system
The error is "Please exist all microsoft office applications to proceed with the installation "
I have not opened any excel ,so donot understand whats this errir for and how to solve it.
Please help Essbase gurus .

You probably have one of the other Office applications running - remember, Office is not just Excel and Smart View works with those other applications too - and / or it's open invisibly. If you open task manager and look at Processes you may see an instance of EXCEL.EXE (for example) even though Excel isn't visible as an application on your desktop.

AAS & Provider services and conflict between exl adin & smart view

Hi,
I just installed Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1 for test purpose for our upgrade from 7.0 to 9.3. I have one machine and I installed Administration console, Hyperion Provider services and Essbase.
I need to install administration console and Hyperion provider services as a service on windows environment. How I can install as a service.
If I work excel add in v 7.1 and smart view 9.3 on a same machine. It will give me any error or conflict?
Thank you.
T.Khan

Hi,
I am not sure that fully understand what you are asking so I apologise if I have misread this.
Are you saying you have installed EAS server and APS on a machine but didn't tick the install as a service when you were configuring ?
If that is the case then if you have installed using tomcat, in the directory :- \Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\bin
There are scripts to create services :- installServiceaas.bat & installServiceaps.bat
If excel addin 7.1 and smart view do cause any issues you can easy turn one of them off, for instance with Smart View you can go to the tool bar in Excel > Hyperion > About > Untick enable Add-in
Or just untick the addins from the addins menu options in excel.
Cheers

Attributes Not Working in Smart View

Hi All,
I have an ASO database that has attributes on the Cost Center dimension. In EPMA and in EAS, the attributes are correctly shown. When I pull data in Smart View for a specific cost center, I see data. When I apply the correct attribute, the data comes back as "N/A". I know for a fact that this cost center IS tagged as the attribute I am pulling, but it will not show in Smart View as belonging to that attribute. I am using version 11.1.2.3 and Smart View version 11.1.2.3.000 (Build 157).
Any thoughts?

Hello,
this is indeed strange. Not a real answer, but here are some suggestions to get more details:
Case sensitive?
What was the attribute of this cost center before?
Try a report on this cost center with all attributes. Does one work?
Try a different front end tool.
From EPMA do a full deploy (make sure you have saved you essbase objects to a save location)
Does it work?
Change the Attribute and deploy it again. Does it work?
If you found it, please update this here, so others will be able to find the solution.

Philip Hulsebosch

Smart view refresh versus Excel Retrieve

Good morning
we are currently converting our users from the old Excel essbase add-in to the new Smartview. We are having issues with some of our users when converting. Some of them were creating retrieves in their excel tabs, HIGHLIGHTING a section, doing their retrieves. This allowed them to keep any non essbase verbage they had on their spreadsheet (so they would not get the retrieve error messages). It appears with Smartview, that you cannot do this as highlighting a section now tells it you want to log into multiple cubes. Can anyone verify for me that highlighting and retrieving in smartview is no longer allowed?
thanks

Prashanth, I think I definitely missed the part where it shows highlight and retrieving (I could see the multi grid, however that is not what highlight and retrieve is)
Consider this scenario
I've an excel sheet which goes from A1:D13 (that is my used range)
Are you saying that I can highlight a1:d6 and perform a retrieve and Smart View will only pull a1:d6? (which is not the case in 11.1.2.2.310, it refreshes full sheet)

Smart View compile error on startup

Hi
Just installed the following components:
- Windows 2008R2
- Office 2010 x64 with SP2
- Smart View 11.1.2.5.210 (x64)
When I start and close Excel I get the following:
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error in hidden module: HsTBarPublic. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application.
The same software version works fine on 32bit versions of Office 2010 + Smart View. Any ideas for troubleshooting 64bit Applications of Office and Smart View?
Thanks
Anthony

Had the same problem with conflict between CS6 (Photoshop, Premier, After Effects, etc.] and Net Nanny. Solution was as follows:
1. Log onto Net Nanny Admin Tools
2. Click on Application Exceptions
3. Click Add
4. Browse to folder containing "dynamiclinkmanager.exe". On my computer (Windows 7 Pro) it was located in
     C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS6
     [I do have dynamiclinkmanager.exe elsewhere, but Net Nanny only allows you to identify a given file name once]
5. Select dynamiclinkmanger.exe, Open, OK
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 but this time for "dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe" which I found in
     C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0
7. Click OK to accept application exceptions
8. Exit Net Nanny Admin Tools
7. On my computer Photoshop would now load without incident, but if necessary reboot.
NOTE: Once I solved the dynamiclinkmanager stopped problem I then encountered an Adobe Media Core stopped problem when I started After Effects and Premier. To resolve this second problem with Net Nanny I repeated the above steps adding the following application exception:
     "Adobe QT32 Server.exe"
     which I found in
     C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0
[Again there are multiple copies of "Adobe QT32 Server.exe" but Net Nanny accepts only one, and I selected the one in "Program Files (x86)" and not the ones in "Program Files" because of this is where I also found dynamiclinkmanager.exe. All works fine now.]
Hope this works for you.

Smart View Vs Web data form entry

Hi
I am currently developing a planning model that is due to be rolled out a number of non finance users.
I find entering data on a web form quite time consuming and not very user friendly. For example when scrolling across left to right the screen doesnt automatically scroll with you.
I have seen that on smart view data can be entered on a form using excel however the worry is here various spreadsheets could be saved all around the place losing the benefit of entering the data in one source.
Has anyone had any experience of rolling out smart view to non finance users?
Thanks

We're just about to roll out an application with and have demonstrated both the Web Forms and Smart View methods of submitting data. Most of the data will be consolidated using various offline spreasheets so the desire for our users is to copy and paste large blocks of data rather than enter them directly onto the Web Forms/Smart View forms. Some of our forms have 100's of rows so for this reason Web Forms aren't really an option given the time it takes to copy and paste a block of data from spreadsheet A to Web Form B. The difference was 1 minute (spreadsheet>Web Form) vs 1 sec (spreadsheet > Smart View Form) for some forms.
As soon as we demoed both methods, this was confirmed, the users started to think of ways they could link their backend spreadsheets to the Smart View forms for ease of submitting data. Early indication is that most users will save a copy of their relative forms on the local machines as a template. They will then use this template to consolidate the data from the external spreadsheets offline. Once they are ready to submit, they intend to copy the whole block from the template into a fresh retrieve of the form for submission.
We haven't looked into offline forms due to the concerns we had with users creating links between the offline form and multiple external spreadsheets. We're just not sure at this point whether it is possible or suitable. It is very unlikely that any values will ever be keyed directly into the form.

Planning menus driven off of the Page dimension controls in Smart View

Apologies if this question is answered but I simply couldn't find an answer on the web, or in OTN, or on Oracle Support, or even (gasp) in the docs.
With that preamble...
I have a Planning form with popup/right click menus that, in a web browser -- IE9 in this case, can be called by right clicking on the row headers (or, with great difficulty in 11.1.2.2) the itsy-bitsy little Page dimension drop down triangles. Some (most) of the menus use the Planning Required Parameters feature to read row or page dimension members to pass the selected member as context to the new form.
So what about Smart View? Ah yes, in Smart View the row header right click allows the menu that uses Required Parameters to drive, for instance, Employee Detail for an Account (Planning passes the Account to a new form). It works just fine. This is the same as IE9.
But I simply cannot figure out how to make Smart View's POV display a popup/right click menu and of course pass that dimension member to the new form. Beyond reading the above sources, I tried just about everything i could think of in Smart View. Is it possible? If not, this would be a major bummer because the planners are not exactly in love with the ADF interface but do rather like Smart View.
Fwiw, it is Excel 2010 and Smart View 11.1.2.2.300 (Build 070).
Thanks,
Cameron Lackpour

Cameron
I've not seen someone using a menu in POV (There could be valid reason for you doing it).
11.1.2.2 If you are using an dimension in POV as required parameter IE shows it in POV, Smartview is not showing that option at all. (Right click on Form shows blank)
I tried it on 11.1.2.3 to see something got fixed there (or updated) and found that right click on row shows the menu item (POV). (You don't need to right click on POV)
