Smart View 11.1.1.2 Data Connection Manager empty

Hi all,
we recently trialled Smart View 11.1.2.1 with APS 11.1.1.2, only to find that combination is not compaitble.
However when we now go into the Smart View Connection Manager, and select the "All" view, nothing is listed ( i'd normally expect the Essbase Server listed ), however if the user has favourites, they are listed and work OK. Existing sheets also work OK.
I have the URL for the datasources as:
http://{server}:13080/aps/SmartView
If I browse to that URL with IE I get the confirmation page to say APS is running OK.
If I look at the apsserver.log file I see the error:
com.essbase.api.base.EssException: Common Provider null datasource error
Can anyone advise on how I can reset this?
Thanks

you will most likely have to use the dropdown and add the server into the shared connections. Once done, it should be there for all users. It is best to add it usiing an ID with Admin access. I think there is a bug that would allow anyone to do it, but I'm not sure what version that was

Smart View 11.1.1.2 Data Source Manager is Disabled

I just did a fresh install of Oracle Hyperion EPM 11.1.1.2 in a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server (64-bit) environment.
I'm now having problems running Smart View in this environment.
When I attempt to connect to a cube, from within Excel, the Data Source Manager appears in the right-hand pane, but I can't interact with it. Also, nothing at all appears in the Data Source Manager pane.
I've duplicated this problem in a Windows 7 RC1 64-bit environment as well (Yes, I know. It's not supported).
This looks like some sort of Active X issue.
I am running Office 2007 SP1. However, applying the latest MS Office updates did not alleviate the issue.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan Farkas

Smart View 9.3.1 error to connecting Hyperion Planning using Excel

Hello Folks,
When I try to connect the Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 using Smart View 9.3.1 I had the following error "Client authorization is needed to accpet the certificate". I am using the URL connection with the following address http://server_name:8300/HyperionPlanning/SmartView.

Venkat,
Based on our web session your production BEA license has not been installed and your production server is limiting the number of unique connections to five clients. Those first five clients who connected to the system.
As we proved in the web session Internet Explorer gets a 403 error and Firefox shows the root cause of the five license issue.
You may verify this by looking at the license.bea file on your servers and you will see it is an evaluation license. Being a licensed Hyperion customer entitles your company to use a restricted use WebLogic in a non-clustered environment. Below is the proper license.
The fix for this is to do the following:
1) Download a license code from Oracle
2) Go to http://licensecodes.oracle.com/bea.html
3) Download LIC-WLXB92
4) On your server(s) backup <BEA_DIRECTORY>\license.bea
5) Copy text file within the LIC-WLXB92 over the license.bea file
6) Restart your Hyperion Services

Restoring a deleted column in Excel from a SharePoint Data Connection view

I used the "Export to Spreadsheet" option for a SharePoint document library to create my working report. I created a special view for this as I did not want all of the columns in my export. I build my report on a seperate tab in Excel
around this exported data and it has been working great. I recently added a new column to the view on SharePoint but it does not show up when I refresh my data. I tried manually adding the column, evening ensuring it was in the same orderl;
still no luck. The Connection file does not exist so I cannot edit the owssvr.iqy. All I have is the connection string and command text. I created a new workbook to see if the command string changed because of the new column but it did not.
I don't want to rebuild my report from scratch just because I added a new column, but it appears that may be the only option I have unless someone can answer my question.
Question: How can I get a new column from a view added to an existing data connection query?

Hi,
First, make sure you have added the new column into the view as well as the list.
Second, try to use "MSQuery" feature in Excel to check the issue.
For more information about MSQuery, please refer to the following link:

Inability to restart a mail download broken due to data connection drop

I am facing problem in viewing attachments if the Mobile Data connection or the WiFi connection breaks in between the downloading of the mail attachment. The mail I am referring to is a direct email with attachments sent to my email address by a sender.
I am not expecting the iPhone to display the attachment without downloading the attachment, obviously. However, if the attachment download is interrupted due to break in data connection, I am not able to restore the download of the remaining part of the attachment later, even if the data connection is re-established subsequently.
In this situation when the data connection has been broken and the attachment has not been completely downloaded, if I click on the attachment, a window opens stating the attachment has not been downloaded. This attachment does not get downloaded even if I drag the attachment window down to refresh the content. I have also tried to mark the mail as unread and then reopening it to see if the attachment starts to download afresh- but nothing happens and the attachment does not start downloading nor it continues from the point of break. I have also tried to force close the mail app and then start the mail app again to reopen the particular mail and then clicking the mail attachment- but again failed to start the attachment download either afresh or from the point it had broken.
When i force close the App and reopened it and the particular mail, the pie chart on the attachment did not appear- both with as well as without clicking on the attachment. In this situation if we click on the attachment it again opens the same blank window of the attachment with text inside the window stating that the attachment has not been downloaded.
The same problem (inability to restore broken attachment download upon restoration of data connection) also happens if the data connection breaks while the email is open and the attachment is being downloaded (the attachment appears as a pie chart with increasingly shaded area indicating the progressive download of the attachment).
This problem occurs with both iCloud as well as Gmail mail accounts. The problem also continues even if i reset iPhone by pressing both Home and Power button simultaneously to get the Apple logo on the screen.
To clarify, the issue is not that the phone starts download while the data connection is down. Rather, the data connection breaks while the download is already continuing.
The above scenario basically prevents you from viewing the attachment if for once the data connection has been broken while the attachment is in the process of being downloaded.
But if I open the app after some time, and then reopen the mail it often happens that the attachment automatically downloads itself. ( i have not been able to quantify or assess the time span after which this happens).
The problem also happens in the case of viewing an email which has not been downloaded completely but the data connection breaks in between.
It has been happening since the beginning of my purchase of iPhone, but i have chosen to stop tolerating the problem recently and have thus highlighted it to you. This problem occurs with all types of attachments-pdf, word etc. It also behaves in similar manner in the case of main email content.
Kindly advise on how to ensure that in case a download of the attachment is broken due to break in data connection, the download of the attachment is resumed after the data connection is restored. There must be ways to make that email as a new email and then download the complete email alongwith the attachments afresh after the connection is established afresh in due course.
It is to reiterate and repeat once again what was discussed that the problem being highlighted is not that the download gets broken on network disruption. Instead the problem is that the download is not restored (nor restarted) after restoration of the network.
I understand and appreciate that download cannot happen without network and that the break in download upon network break is expected behaviour.
However, the inability to restore download after network restore is not expected behaviour.
This issue is independent of the type of network - WiFi or Cellular.
I want to address the issue of inability to restore/ restart download upon network restore.

I agree that data connection should be reliable.
However, what I am expecting is that the behaviour of the iPhone Mail client should be made similar to that on a Desktop PC, like Outlook.
In other words, if we refresh the mail content by dragging the open window down it should actually refresh the full content including the attachments, even if it has been downloaded - in part or in full.

Excel Taking time to open after installing Smart View

Hi,
After installing Smart View excel is taking around 2 minutes to open.
We just launch Excel and it takes two minutes to open. We don't connect to the planning server. Then when Excel responds, the smart view plugin works fine, we can connect to the Planning server and work normally.
Here's the installation detail:
We have install Smart View 11.1.2.2.310 on Windows 7 - 64Bits SP1. Each client use Office Standard 2010.
RAM: 4GB
Procesor: Pentium dual core T4200 2Ghz
We have try to install Smart View 11.1.2.3.000 and we have the same issue.
The machine ressource don't bog down. The procesor and ram use are normal.
The problem is that when the end user open an office document with the plugin smart view activate it takes 2 minute to open. There is no error. When Excel respond, the smart view works fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
David.

There was a bug in 11.1.2.1 and MS 2010 where the refresh is slower. I've seen the same on my machine with same configuration.
You can log an SR and see whether it is also a bug.

Date in smart view

Hi,
I am not able to enter date in smart view by double clicking on the cell as we do in data forms.
Can you help me figure out why it is not happening in smart view???
I opened a form from smart view planning connection and entering the date.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Hi,
You should write code in order to obtain this,
If v_date is your date field.
In the porgram logic you check for v_date+4(2)
If g_date+4(2) = '01'.
concatenate g_date6(2) 'JAN' g_date0(2) into g_date.
elseif g_date_4(2) = '02'.
concatenate g_date6(2) 'FEB' g_date0(2) into g_date.
elseif...................
then display g_date.

Request Timedout error while submitting data in Planning thorugh Smart view

Hi ,
We are getting Request Timed out error when trying to submit data to Planning application using Smart view.
" Cannot connect to the provider because:The request Timed out. Contact your administrator to increase netRetryCount and netRetryInterval." Can someone please tell me where can i increase these time out settings? Can someone give me the link of the document that has detailed steps for this.

Go to the knowledge base and search for document ID 744559.1
Cause
By design, Internet Explorer imposes a time-out limit for the server to return data. Internet Explorer does not wait endlessly for the server to come back with data when the server has a problem.
Smart View communicates via HTTP for which Internet Explorer DLLs are utilized. Smart View users who perform large requests or have a slow network connection can encounter the error, "The request timed out. Contact administrator to increase NetRetryCount and NetRetryInterval."
This error message can be misleading since this error also occurs, if the Internet Explorer time out settings do not cater for larger operations. By default, Internet Explorer has a KeepAliveTimeout value of one minute and an additional limiting factor (ServerInfoTimeout) of two minutes.
Solution
Please see the following two Microsoft articles for further information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
The following steps should be done with the assistance of your Systems Administration group. It is recommended a backup of the registry is done prior to making any modifications.
On the client machine, update/add the following registry keys:
1. Open the Registry, Start -> Run -> Regedit.
2. Locate the following section:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
3.Create the following new DWORD keys with decimal values:
ReceiveTimeout=480000
KeepAliveTimeout=180000
ServerInfoTimeout=180000
In this example, the ReceiveTimeout setting is 8 minutes. The KeepAliveTimeout and ServerInfoTimeout settings are 3 minutes. Set these to greater than the longest running request.
4. Restart the machine for the new settings to take effect.

How to open the Data Perspective function of Smart View in EAS?

How to open the Data Perspective function of Smart View in EAS?
I use my Smart View to connect one ASO cube, and I found the button of Data Perspective is grey. It's not available.
In Smart View Users' Guide, it says:
Note: Data perspective may not be enabled in your Smart View system. Your options for data perspective are enabled and configured by the administrator in Oracle Essbase Administration Services.
But I could not find how to configure the this option in EAS.
Does anyone know about this?

I have already turned on the varying attributes function, but the data perspective button is still grey, not available.

Disable Forced Smart View Upgrade for HFM Connections

Our users are trying to validate data in a new development application and, when connecting to that application, are getting a message from Smart View that a new version is available. Is there a way to disable this message? Our development and production environments are both on the same version of HFM.
I did see some options related to provider services in the help documentation, but when I follow the steps listed in the documentation, the option to access provider services is not available for HFM connections.
I look forward to your responses!
S

I'm not sure what version of Smartview you are using, so your mileage may vary.
Client Side:
With 11.1.2.1+ - Near the bottom right of the Smarview window is an icon for 'Provider Services' which takes you to a screen with a checkbox to enable / disable telling the end user when a new version is available and allowing them to upgrade it.
Server Side:
I'm not sure what version it started with, but the version.XML file that exists with the smartview.exe for download w/ Workspace allows you to configure some of the parts for autodownloading the file.
Additionally when you configure the HFM website using the HFM config tool, there is a checkbox (at least in System 9 versions) that would enable you to force end users to upgrade to the newest version. I don't believe it auto upgrades them; however, it prevents them from using Smartview which would ultimately get them to upgrade. :)
If you need more specifics let me know, this is just off the top of my head.

I need to restrict users to submit data from Smart view or Excel Addin.

Hi All,
I need to restrict users to submit data from Smart view or Excel Addin.
I cant provision them as read access because I want them to write from the Hyperion Planning Web Form.
Any help on the same will be highily appriciated.

John,
Thanks for the reply . if i dont give them essbase write role user cant submit data through smartview or Excel addin. at the same users want to see adhoc reports making connection in smartview through planning, then users can send data.
1. I want users to restrict export dataform to smartview, if they can export dataform to smartview it automatically makes connection using planning and users can pretty much change data.
2. is there any way to restrict users making connection through planning in smartview.
3. when users make smartview connection through essbase, the secuirty works fine and they cant change the data.
Please let me know if you any solution ....

Can't load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis)

Hi,
There is EPM application where I want to give ability to planners to load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis). In Shared Services there are four options in
EssbaseCluster-1: Administrator, Create/Delete Application, Server Access, Provisioning Manager. Only Administrator can submit data in smart view (ad-hoc analysis). But I don't want to grant Essbase administrator to planners, I'm just interested to give them ability to load data through ad-hoc analysis. Please suggest!

I take that you refreshed the Planning security, If not refresh the security of those users. Managing Security Filters
Check in EAS whether those filters are created with "Write" permissions.

HFM Data Form in Smart View - Improper Suppression

We have several data forms that are opened by a group of controllers every month to load forecast information to HFM. This data form is opened by all of these users in Excel and submitted back to HFM via Smart View.
We have instructed all of the users to turn off ALL suppression while working with the data forms because there are some invalid intersections for ICP based on the input entity. The form is rendering properly for all users but one. When he opens the data form it appears to show all of the lines, but then once it fully loads, it is removing/suppressing one line that is an invalid intersection. In checking his Smart View options, I can clearly say that he does not have ANY of the suppression options in use.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Are there any workarounds? Why would this only happen for one user when 10 others have no issue when using the same file/form/options?
Your help is appreciated, as always!
Scott

Hi Scott,
If this is only for one user, I doubt something wrong in his profile.
Ask your IT to have his profile recreated to see if the issue disappears.
Hope this helps,
Thank you,
Charles Babu J
