Member Selection issue Smart View 11.1.2.1.102

Hi there!
I am experiencing an issue with several different cubes when accessing the member selection function in Smart View version 11.1.2.1.102. The issue is isolated to 4 Essbase cubes, but among the 4 are both ASO & BSO.
When I highlight the top, left-most Dimension name and click member selection, NO member names display and the dropdown list is unavailable. As soon as the given Dimension is moved out of the POV, I am able to see the full member list. This also means that the member that has moved into the top, left-most position now has the issue of not being able to select any members (certain dimensions are fine no matter their position).
I am able to move members around by pivoting the dimension and the member selection function behaves normally for some, but the issue pops back up as soon the dimension is moved back to the POV position.
If anyone has run into this issue with SmartView before and has a fix, please let me know. I would be happy to clarify my issue if anyone is unclear on what exactly I am trying to describe.
Thank you for your time!

This was a bug in 11.1.2.1.102. I'm not sure if it was fixed in 11.1.2.1.103 or 11.1.2.2 (I think 11.1.2.103)
It does not hurt you to upgrade to a higher version of Smart View

Access Issue Smart View

Hi all,
Few user in our company are having hard time opening Data forms in Smart View. When they try to open the forms they get an following Error:
The data Form XXXX Is invalid.Check Log for details. (where XXXX is the name of form).
I have tried following steps to fix the problem but was unable to do it:
Created a Native ID and assigned it similar access as these Users had and was able to open the forms successfully via Smart View using this ID.
The important thing is these users are from differnt groups and have access to different applications but the provision to all the group is same.
There are other User in the same groups who are able to open the forms successfully and have same provision as the users that are facing the issue.
I also tried to pull these users out of the group and provision them with the access they were having from group but after setting this up they had same error while opening the form.
There is no problem with the istallation of Smart View on their local machine as they are able to login via Native User login i created.
It would be great help if anybody could suggest a way to Fix this issue.
Thanks In advance!!

Hi Abhishek,
I have not provided the access to the remaining dimensions. That is why it is showing as the No Access.
Thanks for the help.

Hyperion Financial Reports - Member selection issue

Hi,
We are using Hyperion suite 9.2.0.3. We get an error during Member selection in POV when executing a book or report. The member selection window looks blank.
We have tried restarting the services of Financial report and Essbase. But no luck.
Can someone help us in getting this issue resolved.
Thanks,
Sethu

I'm not sure I have a good answer for you, but in my experience blank screens are usually caused by failing weblogic, apache, or a firewall setting.
You might have better success getting an answer in the Hyperion Query and Reporting forum.

Restrict member access in POV member selection

Hello all,
I wonder if there is a way to restrict access to certain members in Smart View's POV manager (member selection tool)? For example if a user is assigned a filter in Essbase that restricts his access to an Entity "A", he should not be able to see/select that entity in the member selection in Smart View.
I did some research and browsed the guides but could not find anything related to this special requirement.
Highly appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks for your help and time.

I have implemented MetaRead as the "standard" for users with read only access at several clients, as most people prefer to see only what they have access to. A good example is European users, don't need to see Asian countries in their geography rollup and vice versa.
It also makes training easier as you don't have to deal with the questions, why can I see Germany/Thailand if I can't see any data.
I suggested FR as an option as once the user has chosen their POV for the first time, it will follow them whenever they open a subsequent report, so they don't have to worry about choosing it.
Although you do lose some ad-hoc abilities with FR - that you can mitigate through the use of expansion on rows/columns. Also the POV is per data source, so if you wished to migrate to new cube for a new financial year, then the POV would need to be chosen again.
The other advantage with FR is you can distribute the same report and have many users, with differing access see different data through their POV and access rights. With Smart View, users would need to chose their POV every time they opened a newly distributed report.
Hope this helps - let me know if you have further questions/thoughts.
Cheers, Iain

Hyperion Planning Smart View issue with Member Names & Aliases

Hi,
Im using Smart View "Essbase" Connection to a Hyperion Planning Application, ver 11.1.1.3, however with the essbase connection i am not able to select at the smart view options to see aliases, members or both. I change the setting ( Duplicate member names allowed =true) directly at the properties of the outline in EAS, and now i am able to see the aliases, however if time I refresh using web planning/workspace this setting is undone. Furthermore i dont thing i should use it with planning. Any comments?
Kind Regards

First of all I hope you have not changed the properties of the outline in EAS for a planning application.
For more information on using aliases in smartview have a read of :- Smartview --- Display options --- to display alias names
Also you will only be able to view member name or aliases not both at the same time.
Cheers

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.

Smart View - Options - Member Options - RadioButton "Top" or "Bottom"

Hello
I have installed Essbase 11.1.2 and am using Smart View with Excel 2007.
I would like to see Totals first and then on drill down get the details underneath of my total (instead of above my total, which is the default behaviour).
Under Options -> Member Options -> select Enterprise -> we can set the radio button from "Bottom" to "Top". Has anyone tried this already? Does it work for you?

Thomas, I actually just found out a way to show the Totals first. If you set up a SmartSlice you can choose in your options where you want your Ancestor to show up. You can choose to have it show up at the bottom of your detail or at the top. Hope this helps.

Office 365 Web Apps are not supported and cannot be supported as there is no platform for add-in's in that environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13602
Most Office 365 uses cases and users end up with Office installed on the desktop and at that point we are talking about normal Office Support. Right now it is up to the Office 365 administrator to determine the version of Office to be used by their 365 users. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637585.aspx
Short answer is that Smart View does not support Office 365 Web Apps and there are no plans to support the Web Apps.

Performance issues when using Smart View and Excel 2010

Hello, we are experiencing very slow retrieval times when using Smart View and Excel 2010. Currently on v.11.1.3.00 and moved over from Excel 2003 in the last quarter. The same spreadsheets in 2010 (recreated) are running much slower than they used to in 2003 and I was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems?
It looks like there is some background caching going on as when you copy and paste the contents into a new file and retrieve it is better.....initially. The size of the files are generally less than 2mb and there aren't an expecially large number of subcubes requested so I am at a loss to explain or alleviate the issues.
Any advice / tips on how to optimise the performance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Office 2010 (32 bit) only is supported.

Smart View Issue.

Hi,
We are facing performance issues with Smart View 9.3.1. It works fine when 1-2 users are connected but when more users connect, the time to connect and query increases substantially. This happens when Excel Add-in and Web Analysis are still running fast enough. We have Essbase Server and Provider Services on the same server. Has anyone faced such an issue? If so, what needs to be done to fix this? Will appreciate any help on this.
Thanks.

The change you made will take not take effect on restarting the service as it appears you modified the startup.bat. The windows service does not call the startup.bat file but rather gets it's settings from the registry.
The command line argument you have also sets 700 Mb as the startup heap size; I would set it to something more reasonable (when you set it in the proper place).. Either 64 Mb or 128 Mb are the common values I have seen.
Finally, unless your users are retrieving some huge spreadsheets, I would doubt the memory heap issue would help your performance. Even then, the difference would not necessary be performance issue, except for the time required to allocate more memory for the heap, but rather a possibility of Out-of-Memory errors.

Planning Data from formatting issue with Smart view in 11.1.2

Hi,
We are facing one strange issue in Smart view.
We have created a dataform in Planning as follows:
Columns:
FY10 FY10 FY10
Budget Budget Budget
Jan Feb Mar
But when we open this in Smart view, we are getting the columns as follows:
FY10
Budget
Jan Feb Mar
i.e. year and scenario are spreading across months instead coming at each column level.
We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2, Smart View 11.1.2 and Office 2003.
Please help us.
Thanks,
Naveen Suram

Are you saying you want the dimension members FY10 and Budget to be repeated in each column?
I think that can be done for Ad-Hoc Analysis mode, but not where you have opened up a Planning form.
Cheers

Dimensions set to Selectable are not selectable w/in Smart View Data Forms

When trying to use a data form by clicking "Select Form" in the Hyperion toolbar in Excel (not exporting from webspace), Dimensions that are defined as Selectable are not actually selectable within Smartview. Below is a portion of the script:
BackgroundPOV=S#***.Y#***.w#***.V#***.I#***.C4#***
SelectablePOVList=P{***}.E{***.[Base]}.C1{***.[Hierarchy]}
Within the web, the form works fine and everything selectable is selectable. Within smart view, only Entity is selectable. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Edited by: JL on Aug 4, 2011 12:36 PM

I have found this and its generally because the dimension is referenced in the column
i.e Year and period is displayed in the column.
In HFM you can select the members from the POV but when opening in SmartView you can't
Solution is to remove the dimension from the col or row.

64-bit Smart View + Excel 2010 64-bit Issues - Help Please

Hello everyone.
First, I am not an "IT guy" so please bare with me as I am not technical but need help.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and Excel 2010 64-bit. I installed Oracle Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition 64-bit as an add-in within Excel.
I have worked with our "Hyperion Admins" to connect to the right server so that my "private connections" are set correctly (hopefully that makes sense).
However, when I attempt to refresh my Smart View query I end-up retrieving no data. The "refresh" button under "Smart View" in Excel will proceed as a refresh is occurring but then not return data (I know this Smart View template works as I've used it many times on 32-bit Excel).
Our admins have informed me that I cannot use 64-bit Smart View because our "server" is on a 32-bit O/S (or something similar to that). To me, the logic doesn't make sense and I'm hoping that there is a solution the admins are not aware of.
Happy to answer any questions and appreciate any help.

Issue while running Smart View

Hi ,
I am facing issue while running the smart view . Bleow is the error description . Please let me know what might be the possible solution .
Cannot perform cube view operation .OLAP error (1042017) : Network error .
Thanks & Regards,
Vijaya

Vijaya,
Nine times out of ten, when you receive a network error during an Essbase retriaval, your application has crashed. Do the retrieval in Smart View, then check to see if your application is still running in EAS after you get the error message. Then let us know and perhaps we can determine how to keep the application from crashing.
Hope this helps,

Smart View Member List Error

I am receiving the following error message when I try to click on the Member Selection icon:
'Selected member list cannot be empty'
Can someone please tell me what's causing this error, and how I can fix it?
Thanks!

Hi SST,
Thanks for your answer.
As it turns out, the reason this error occurred is because of the Windows screen configuration. Instead of the Member Selection screen showing up in the active Excel tab, the screen was appearing 'in limbo', and therefore wasn't visible. As a result, the error kept appearing when the Member Selection icon was clicked on repeatedly.
