Hi Expects,
I want to configure the Smartview but in Data Source Manager option I can see only 1) Oracle BU Server 2) Oracle Essbase 3) Oracle Hyperion Planning.
I want to connect to HFM but I can't see any option .
Can anyone help me to create connection with HFM

Hi
You must add independent provider connection instead of common connections.
Explanation how to do it see bellow(part from user guide:-) )
Adding a Data Source Through Direct Connection
To add a data source connection directly, you need to know the URL for the data source provider. You can get this information from your Administrator.
" To add a data source connection through direct connection:
1.Select Hyperion, then Data Source Manager. For Office 2007, click Connect in the Connections section of the Hyperion ribbon.
2.In Independent Provider Connections, click the Add button.
3.Select URL Provider.
The Add Connection - Provider Type/URL dialog box is displayed.
4.From Provider, select the type of data source to which you want to connect:
•Hyperion Provider (for Financial Management, Hyperion Enterprise, and Planning)
•Hyperion Reporting and Analysis — System 9 Provider (for Financial Reporting, Interactive Reporting, Production Reporting, and Web Analysis)
5.In the Location drop-down list box, type the URL or the local storage directory for the data source to which you want to connect, and then click Next.
The URL syntax for the various data sources is as follows. Contact your system administrator for the URL to use:
Financial Management: http(s)://<servername>/hfmofficeprovider/hfmofficeprovider.aspx "
