Retrieval in excel

Hi,
Issue is that my excel 2007 is getting closed on retrieving from the essbase server.
what is the issue i am not able to find out.

The problem might be with the macros embedded in the sheet. Check if the same is happening when you are doing a blank retrieval.
if not, then its clearly problem with macros. you need to work on it to fix the issues at macro end.
you were using excel 2007, but you haven't mentioned the version of excel add-in.
Anyways it doesn't matter now as it seems to be an issue with the macros.

  • Essbase not retaining formulas on retrieval in Excel

    Good Evening!
    Has anyone seen an instance where essbase won't retain formulas on retrieval in Excel?
    We are using Essbase v6.5.4
    apparently rebooting the computer fixes the problem, but that is irritating.
    Is there a patch or a setting somewhere?
    Thanks!
    Andrew

    Yes, there is a setting.
    Go to Essbase->Options->Mode (that's a tab)->Formula Preservation/Retain on Retrieval.
    You'll have limitations on pivoting dimensions on and off but the add-in does a decent job of keeping the formulas (mostly) on sheet.

  • Apps hanging on Retrieval through Excel

    Essbase 7.1.5 Windows 2003 Server. 16 gig ram
    On multiple occasions now I have cases where users retrieving through excel have their retrievals "hang". These are stock retrievals that normally have split second retrieval time.
    If I go in through EAS and try and terminate their retrieval it goes into "terminating" indefinitely. I can't stop the app through EAS either, “user performing database operation”.
    I can stop the app by killing the process in Task Manager. However if it then restarts, problems start again.
    I have to stop all apps, restart the box. Then everything is good again, usually for another 24 hours. Sometimes less, sometimes a couple of days. Problems does not seem to occur on weekends (few to no users. However lots of app rebuilding/restructuring/etc going on)
    This box does have alot of activity, with many apps on the go. 10-15 can be loaded at anyone time. Mix of BSO and ASO cubes. Multiple users, across multipile apps, doing multiple excel retrievals with lots of connects and disconnects going on.
    Problem has been ongoing for several months now. No I haven't logged a case with Tech support.

    I have similar experience over Essbase 5,6,7,9. Please have a look at the reserved portrange of ESSBASE. Applications like event triggered backups, monitors from network provider or whatever can used one or more of the reserved ports in the ESSBASE range and they avoid that the next database, which is requested and needs to be started therfore cannot be "reached" from ESSBASE agent process. Another problem of "freezing" like I called it all the years is that there are agent intensive operations like renaming an application which can freeze the login process or reaction of the agent.
    I usally do a tail -f Essbase.log to see if the agent is reacting or not.
    But to make it clear, the portrange scan was our solution.

  • Stop calc script when it retrieves in excel

    Hello All,
    I have a strange error. I run a calc script and can see the processing looking at task manager in Windows. However, when I retrieves this database, the calc script stop to run. Does Somebody know what happen? I could realize the database is with locked status. Is there any parameters to avoid it?
    I am using:
    Essbase Server 9.3.1.3
    Essbase Client 9.3.1.3
    Excel 2000
    Regards and thanks advanced,

    when you say stops to run, do you mean the calc script ends or that it stalls and is not calculating anything else? If it is the latter, then prehaps when you retireive, you have turned in update mode in your options which locks the cells until you are done. You could check this by going into EAS/AAS and checking for locks (not locked objects). If you lock the cells the Calc has to wait for them to be unlocked to allow it to continue.
    If you mean the calc script ends, I can't answer as I've never seen that before

  • How can I add/retrieve Word/Excell files to iCloud?

    I have an iCloud Account that I haven't used in the past. How can I add/delete/retrieve files such as Word & Excel files?

    To save arbitrary document types in iCloud on MacOS X 10.9.5 have a look at Winston Churchill's User Tip:

    This will work between Macs, but not for mobile devices.

  • Excel Add-in Retrieve issue

    Gurus,
    I have a user SAMSHRE who was able to do retrieve in Excel add in, however, suddenly, the members is not being able to do retrieve using Excel add-in. Is there anything I need to look at to solve this issue.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    To solve the issue, you have to check first the security. Try to connect to Essbase from his computer using another user.
    If it works you have to check the security configuration. So, you have to check the user roles and the security filters.
    If it doesn't work, try to close all Excel, and disable/enable the add-in of his computer.

  • Internal Excel Error

    Hello:
    I'm working with excel 2007 and Essbase 9.3.1 Add-in.
    I've an excel 2007 sheet that, when I try to retrieve data (already connected or not), the following message appears:
    "Essbase has encountered an internal excel error. Your sheet will not be overwritten and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit Excel and restart in order to clear up the problem".
    But restanting excel don't clear up the problem. If I save the excel sheet as excel 2003, then the problem doesn't apperar.
    Does anyone knows what's happening?
    Thanks in advance and regards,

  • Excel addin error

    Hi,
    I am using EPM 11.1.2.2 and I have office 2010 and excel addins 11.1.2.2. While retrieving I am getting the below error. I tried the solution provided in the link "http://oraclebrasil.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/error-essbase-has-encountered-an-internal-excel-error-when-retrieving-in-excel-with-essbase-excel-add-in-11-1-1-3/" but since I am having around 500 columns I am loosing the the columns after 256 while saving it as 'Excel 97-2003 Workbook’ .
    Error: “Essbase has encountered an internal Excel error. Your sheet will not be overwritten and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit Excel and restart in order to clear up the problem”
    Can you please advise.

    Think about using Smartview (since you are having 500 columns, that's too many columns if you ask me). Or split your sheets in such a way that it has only 256 columns.

  • Essbase Retrieval Slow

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to essbase (know the concepts but not implemented anything on my own)
    We have installed essbase in linux server.
    So far the performance of the data retrieval using excel addin was good. But suddenly the performance drastically reduced and in fact its dead slow.
    Please advise what i can do in this regard to resolve the issue.
    Thanks,
    Senthil.

    If possible, try to look at the server statistics while performing retrieves:
    - is the memory usage far above real memory ?
    - is at least one of the cpus at 100%
    - are the disks reporting 100% busy
    - what is the network status
    From the limited amount of information give, let's start with some guesses:
    - the amount of data has been increased by dataloads, but the cache sizes are still the same --> verify cache settings
    - a new account was added that has a complex formula --> compare speed when the formula is reduced to "1;"
    - the server is used for multiple purposes --> try to limit only to essbase for a test
    - an automatic backup has been introduced --> monitor backup start and end time and try to schedule after business hours
    If possible, try to attend an essbase training - I know it's expensive, but very helpful on a daily admin job.

  • How to Increase Retrival time using excel addin

    I have a ASO cube what thing can i do ti increase retrival time to excel addin on version 9.3.1
    Please advise

    1. Edit the essbase.cfg file with the following:
    AGENTDELAY 60
    NETDELAY 600
    NETRETRYCOUNT 800
    NETTCPCONNECTRETRYCOUNT 100
    AGENTTHREADS 60
    SERVERTHREADS 60
    AGTSVRCONNECTIONS 7
    2. Edit the database properties with the following:
    If on 32-bit Platform, set the Essbase Data retrieval buffers as:
    Buffer size(KB): 10
    Sort buffer size(KB): 40
    If on 64-bit Platform, set the Essbase Data retrieval buffers as:
    Buffer size(KB): 20
    Sort buffer size(KB): 40
    3. Add or Edit the following Registry settings on Essbase Server and Client machines
    a) Open the Registry
    b) Navigate to LocalMachine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
    c) Add new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 30. (The default value of this parameter is 2 minutes. This is how long twill take for a TCP/IP port that was used by the network for a connection to be released and made available again. 30 sec is the minimum allowed by Microsoft)
    d) Add new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 65534. ( The default value is 5000. This determines the highest port number TCP can assign when an application requests an available user port from the system.
    e) Add new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs, right click and selectModify. Select decimal radio button, type in 6250. (The default value is 2000. This determines the number of TCP control blocks(TCBs) the system creates to support active connections. Because each connection requires a control block, this value determines how many active connections TCP can support simultaneously. If all control blocks are used and more connection requests arrive,TCP can prematurely release connections in the TIME_WAIT state inorder to free a control block for a new connection and also increase the netdelay and netretrycount.

  • Goal Seek alternative in Excel Services

    Hi,
