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.

Smart View internal metadata error when creating SmartView reports

Hi all,
I have a really strange problem when trying to use HsGetValue -functions in Smart View (in Excel 2010).
The thing is that I can create a lot of formulas for a sheet that have links to other sheets. However, in some pont (I don't exactly when it happens), I quite randomly get an error in Excel saying "This workbook contains Smart View internal metadata that needs to be repaired. This will automatically be repaired but may take some time". This error box appears a few times, I just click it and then it disappears. Obviously, this is annoying and the Excel is unusable.
Usually it happens when I try to format the sheet or add, e.g., company logo into the sheet, or try to do a bit more difficult linking of the cells.
Any ideas what is going on here? Smart View version is 11.1.2.1.103 (Build 100).
Thanks in advance!

Please take a look at KB ID 1432526.1. I've copied the text below.
Applies to:
Hyperion Financial Management - Version: 11.1.2.1.102 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
The following message is displayed when opening the Smart View files:
This workbook contains Smart View internal metadata that needs to be repaired. This will automatically be repaired but may take some time.
It may take a long time to open or save the Smart View templates.
Changes
Smart View has been installed by a user different, than the one that is currently logged on the workstation, i.e. service account or installation account.
Cause
When the user accesses Smart View for the first time, on a workstation where the SmartView has been installed by another user, the following registry key will be missing in the user's profile:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView\Preferences]
"UseStorageCompression"=hex:01
"SelectedOptionTab"=hex:02
If SmartView is installed by a different user i.e. service account or installation account, then the user profile registry will be missing "UseStorageCompression" and "SelectedOptionTab", resulting in a incorrect saving of file metadata.
Solution
Follow the steps below to automatically create the required registry keys for the current user profile:
1.Open Excel and select Smart View menu.
2.Click the "Options" icon to open the Options window.
3.In the "Advanced" tab, under the "Compatibility" section make sure the "Reduce Excel File Size" option is selected and click OK.
4.The following Windows Registry keys will be created under user profile, enabling proper compression of the metadata:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView\Preferences]
"UseStorageCompression"=hex:01
"SelectedOptionTab"=hex:025.Now the user should be able to open the smartview template without the error message.
6.Additionally it is also recommended to select the "Improve Metadata Storage" option in the Smart View Options window which will create the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView\Preferences]
"IgnoreShapes"=hex:01

Hyperion Smart View Refresh gives Error

Hi
I have installed Smart View version 11.1.2 in my Client's computer having 64 bit Operating System.
Whenever he opens the excel file and click first refresh all the cells having HsGetValue formula shows "Error"
It gives the same Error in every cell even after disconnecting and connecting again.
Please help.

So 11.1.1.3 smart view is not compatible for 11.1.1.3 HFM version for 64 bit OS.
This is not a true statement, please review documentation using the following link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/nav/portal_5.htm
Anyhow, if the "connection panel is blank", is because after installation you must recreate the connection by selecting a url connection using the following sintax:
http://yourservername/hfmofficeprovider/hfmofficeprovider.aspx , the selecting the appropriate HFM Cluster and database, plus user id and password to create the new connection.

Smart View gives "Unspecified error"

I've just started working with the latest version, 11.1.2.1.102, 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 but it's a pain and obviously not acceptable to go into production. Anybody else seen this or know what's causing it?

Data Forms in Smart View - Add Members

We have data forms with Add Member functionality. When opening that data form using Smart View it puts red border around top member but then instead of allowing user to select a member it lists all of them in the rows. A good example is ICP data form where user can select partner to report balance. The data form online allows selection of individual partners but when same data form opened in Smart View it lists all 1,000+ ICP True entities.
Is syntax different when data form to be used with Smart View?
We have V11.1.1.3.

You have to suppress no data/zeros in SmartView and refresh the form to see the rows collapsed. I had created an enhancement request for this and it is currently under review by development. I would suggest you do the same if you'd like to see this fixed.
The bug is listed as 13878488 - SUPPRESS ROWS IS NOT ENABLED WHEN OPENING FORM IN SMARTVIEW

Filtering by attributes in Smart view on Cloud

Dear all,
We are working on the Planning and Budgeting Cloud Services and we have a question regarding the filtering by attributes in smart view.
We tried to create a report filtering by attribute but this option is not available in the Smart view Member selection.
However, filtering by attribute is available from a form.
Could yo please help us with this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Marta

hi Marta,
The use of attributes in PBCS is not available in Smart View nor Financial Reporting Studio. I am also trying to figure out a workaround as this is critical for reporting purposes. The two links below explain the issue.

Intermittent errors when retrieving through smart view (11.1.2.5.210) in Oracle 11.1.2.3.500

We are getting the below errors when retrieving from huge smart view sheets for couple of our applications. We have increased the time out settings from the local registry, server registry, mod_wl_ohs file, Web logic console, http.conf, Essbase.properties. Also, increased the JVM from opmn.xml & setCustomParamsAnalyticProviderServices.bat. However we still face the error.
Note: this is an intermittent error and does not happen all the time.
Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error(12152).
Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error(12031).
Also, we are facing retrieval performance issues after we upgraded to 11.1.2.3.500 after we migrated from 11.1.1.3.500. Has anyone faced this issue? if so, any suggestions in improving the retrieval performance (especially with MDX member formulas in ASO applications) in 11.1.2.3.500 version?
Smart view version: 11.1.2.5.210

Is there a load balancer being used?
Does the issue common on both Shared and Private connection?
Smartview client
     A)    add a essbase.cfg to the client machine in smartview\bin
             the file will have 3 entries

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

Smart View error logging in to an application

Hello,
I successfully installed Smart View on a computer with Windows XP SP3. I can connect to the data source, but when I try to connect to an application, after entering the username and password, an error pops up: "Requested operation failed. Error: java.lang.NullPointerException"
Do anybody know the issue?
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you connecting to a Planning or Essbase datasource connection?
Can you try connecting to other DS connections to see if it works?
If connecting to an Essbase datasource, have you configured your APS correctly?

Is there a way to exclude temporary people picker fields from a query when receiving the "List View Lookup Threshold" error.

Hi All,
My users require the ability to select a sharepoint group from a drop down list and then be able to select a user from a people picker based on the drop down selection.    The best solution I was able to up with, was create a people picker
for each drop down selection and set the Sharepoint group field to the selected group.  All people picker filed are hidden except the one that matches the drop down selection. When creating an entry from the sharepoint list this method
works perfectly.
However, when I add the list onto a site page using an "Listview webpart", then add an infopath web part and then finally connect the two parts, I get a "List View Lookup Threshold" error when selecting an entry from the list. I
understand from the error and reading that this error is related to the number of People pickers in the list.   Is there a way to exclude temporary people picker fields from a site page query, as they are only temporary fields to allow the users
to select a person and then assign the name to another field.
Dwayne

Hi Dwayne,
In SharePoint 2013, we could manually create a list for all users. Here are the reference:
Go to Site Settings > People and Groups > SiteMembers
Modify url
http://sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=8 to
http://sp/sites/tutu/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0 , now you will see All people in this site.
Change the view to List view, and copy the listview id in the url
http://sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0&View={viewID}
Go to Settings > List settings, copy the list id in the url
http://sitename/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=listeid&Source=....
Now type the address in IE:
http://sitename/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=[LISTID]&View=[VIEWID]&CacheControl , such as
http://sp/sites/tutu/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=f3958d27-9c2f-4f8d-b221-89466e816667&View=696BFDC5-0C6E-4E27-818F-0E6292A18407&CacheControl=1
Save the owssvr.jqy from SharePoint site
Now you could see the file in your desktop with all users, save it as allusers in Excel.
Then import it to your SharePoint site, add an app > find an app > import spreadsheet

Smart VIew 11.1.2.1 - Error Message "Invalid Parameter" in a pop up box

Message leaves a bit to be desired.

Thanks for the response.
The message appears when the users attempts to submit data.
Refresh works as expected
Verified provsioning and security class access.
2 different users attempted - each in a different AD group - same entity
Works for other users in other divsions - (different entities)- have not ruled out a process management conflict - but would have expected a different error message.

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.

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.

Not able to get Essbase Server list in Office with Smart View 11.1.2.1

Anybody tried Shared Connection in Smart View 11.1.2.1? I am able to connect to but it does not show any servers in the non editable drop-down box. I tried this with Office 2003 sp3, Office 2007 and office 2010 but none of them is working. Also i tried to find out the datasourse.xml file in LWS-aps in shared services console but its not there. i tried the solution given on this link also but the datasourse.xml file is not in place.
http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/2011/04/smart-view-private-connection-issue.html
my Environment.
Win 2003 SP2 32 bit
SQL 2005 on separate windows box
EPM 11.1.2.1
Shared Services
Essbase Server
Essbse Client
Essbase Integration
Provider services
Essbase Studio
Configured all of the above components successfully.
i'm connecting to Essbase through this URL http://<server>:19000/workspace/SmartViewProviders . it shows the login window and allow me to get in. but the drop down box is empty. no server listed.
Please let me know what I'm missing.

I am also getting same problem as gaurav,
I checked,"http://<servername>:13080/aps/SmartView" Analytic Provider Services also running.
instead of Server name i tried localhost, ip address, and computer name.
but still not getting anything in drop down, even "Add New Server" Option also.
I thought this may be because Analytic Provider Services was configured after Shared Services. But for that i followed the steps:
1. Stop the Analytic Provider Server and Foundation Services.
2. Open the EPM System Configurator through Start -> All Programs -> Oracle EPM System -> Foundation Services -> EPM System Configurator.
3. Expand Hyperion Foundation and only tick the option 'Deploy to Application Server'
4. Click Next through the Configurator until complete.
5. Restart the Foundation and Analytic Provider Server Services.
6. Open Excel, connect to the Shared Connections.
But problem Continuous.
