Smart View message regarding "dimension meber..found in comment region"

I created a report through Hyperion Smart View and it works well. However, I got a several messages like "Dimension member ...found in comment region at grid row 160 column 6 is being deleted" for entitiy members. The report will be refreshed but those entity members in messages will show blank. Can anyone help? Thanks.

this usually means there's a member incorrectly typed in one of the columns of that row, and smartview gets confused, thinking that row is for comments, and that the referenced column (6) therefore shouldn't be a member

Planning menus driven off of the Page dimension controls in Smart View

Apologies if this question is answered but I simply couldn't find an answer on the web, or in OTN, or on Oracle Support, or even (gasp) in the docs.
With that preamble...
I have a Planning form with popup/right click menus that, in a web browser -- IE9 in this case, can be called by right clicking on the row headers (or, with great difficulty in 11.1.2.2) the itsy-bitsy little Page dimension drop down triangles. Some (most) of the menus use the Planning Required Parameters feature to read row or page dimension members to pass the selected member as context to the new form.
So what about Smart View? Ah yes, in Smart View the row header right click allows the menu that uses Required Parameters to drive, for instance, Employee Detail for an Account (Planning passes the Account to a new form). It works just fine. This is the same as IE9.
But I simply cannot figure out how to make Smart View's POV display a popup/right click menu and of course pass that dimension member to the new form. Beyond reading the above sources, I tried just about everything i could think of in Smart View. Is it possible? If not, this would be a major bummer because the planners are not exactly in love with the ADF interface but do rather like Smart View.
Fwiw, it is Excel 2010 and Smart View 11.1.2.2.300 (Build 070).
Thanks,

I've not seen someone using a menu in POV (There could be valid reason for you doing it).
11.1.2.2 If you are using an dimension in POV as required parameter IE shows it in POV, Smartview is not showing that option at all. (Right click on Form shows blank)
I tried it on 11.1.2.3 to see something got fixed there (or updated) and found that right click on row shows the menu item (POV). (You don't need to right click on POV)

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.

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.

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.

Regarding display options in smart view

Hi All,
good afternoon.
In smart view , I would like to select “Member Name and Description” in “Member Name Display Options” section. However that selection is grayed out by system.
can you please help me in resolving this issue.
thanks in advance.

J,
I wonder if this is what the OP is getting at: Change alias table choice greyed out
Unless he really does mean description. <--Yes, I should read the post first.
So "description" in SmartView refers to a fully qualified member name/alias. That's really interesting, particularly as the DBAG doesn't use that term in its chapter on Duplicate Member Outlines.

How I start smart view without error message?

Hello,
we use Oracle Smart View 11.1.2.5.215 and Office Professional Plus 2010 SP 2.
The installation run in an AppV 4.5 SP 2 Environment.
Smart View starts with the following error message:
Failed to create Smart View Extension Activator object. Verifiy that it is registered properly (-2147221164)
We have the newest .NET installation and install the excel shared features.
Directly of the server Smart View starts correctly.
The message just appears when Smart View starts over the NetMan Applications Link (Citrix + AppV).
Please help!
Thx, John

Use someone else Smart View in an AppV environment?
We want to go live soon and must handle the error message.

Attributes Not Working in Smart View

Hi All,
I have an ASO database that has attributes on the Cost Center dimension. In EPMA and in EAS, the attributes are correctly shown. When I pull data in Smart View for a specific cost center, I see data. When I apply the correct attribute, the data comes back as "N/A". I know for a fact that this cost center IS tagged as the attribute I am pulling, but it will not show in Smart View as belonging to that attribute. I am using version 11.1.2.3 and Smart View version 11.1.2.3.000 (Build 157).
Any thoughts?

Hello,
this is indeed strange. Not a real answer, but here are some suggestions to get more details:
Case sensitive?
What was the attribute of this cost center before?
Try a report on this cost center with all attributes. Does one work?
Try a different front end tool.
From EPMA do a full deploy (make sure you have saved you essbase objects to a save location)
Does it work?
Change the Attribute and deploy it again. Does it work?
If you found it, please update this here, so others will be able to find the solution.

Dataforms using smart view

Hi All,
I m having a problem with smart view.Few dataforms don't open peoperly.I saw one of your posts saying if i use DTS in column level i will not be able to open that dataform.I have exactly done the same thing,I have used Y-T-D in column level.As per my requirement i had to use it in column level rather than page level.
Is there any other way to open the dataform in smartview excel sheet?
Regards,

Hi,
I take it you mean this issue
If a data form has Dynamic Time Series members displayed in the columns or rows, when the form is opened in Smart View an invalid form message is received. If the Dynamic Time Series members are in the Page dimension, the data form opens without an error. (8557012)

I've experiencied similiar problems, though other users may have found a better solution, I've unlocked the spreadsheat, refreshed, and then relocked via a VBA macro. A button object at the top of the spreadsheet was added to make it easier for the users use as well. If there is a better solution I am very interested in this as well.

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.

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.

How to hide members in Smart View

Hi
We have a requirement to add some accounts under accounts dimension in planning.Some of our users use Smart View to analyze data.So our budget team requirement is the users should not be able to see the new accounts we have added, when they drill down on account.We are on v9.3.
Please suggest
Thanks,

You'll have to play with Planning security filters in Essbase to make that possible.
All the filters in Essbase are Read only filters which means Users can still view the members.

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.

Smart view refresh versus Excel Retrieve

Good morning
we are currently converting our users from the old Excel essbase add-in to the new Smartview. We are having issues with some of our users when converting. Some of them were creating retrieves in their excel tabs, HIGHLIGHTING a section, doing their retrieves. This allowed them to keep any non essbase verbage they had on their spreadsheet (so they would not get the retrieve error messages). It appears with Smartview, that you cannot do this as highlighting a section now tells it you want to log into multiple cubes. Can anyone verify for me that highlighting and retrieving in smartview is no longer allowed?
thanks

Prashanth, I think I definitely missed the part where it shows highlight and retrieving (I could see the multi grid, however that is not what highlight and retrieve is)
Consider this scenario
I've an excel sheet which goes from A1:D13 (that is my used range)
Are you saying that I can highlight a1:d6 and perform a retrieve and Smart View will only pull a1:d6? (which is not the case in 11.1.2.2.310, it refreshes full sheet)

How to connect Smart Views against BIC2G OBIEE+ Analysis services

I am trying to run Hyperion Smart View 9.3.1.2.041 against OBIEE+ demo package BIC2G:EE+ v10.1.3.3.2-9.3.1-7.9.5 but I can’t get the connection to work.
The documentation or the package BIC2G:EE+ v10.1.3.3.2-9.3.1-7.9.5 does contain errors that makes it hard to set up and I have not found any useful documentation how to circumvent the "Unable to connect to the provider" message that I get during connection.

Good day!
Try to start the service (Hyperion Provider Services - Web Application). If it doesn't work, try to stop it and start it again.
I had this problem before.
Cheers!
