Smart View Shared Connections - Oracle Essbase - How is list derived?

Testing out the new build of Smart view 11.1.2.2.310 on Office Excel 2010. In Shared connections I show three Essbase servers
EssbaseCluster-1
EssbaseCluster-2
EssbaseCluster-3
Via EAS there is only EssbaseCluster-3. What file or lookup is Shared Connections pointing to for 1 and 2? If I try to open them they give a 'cannot connect to Essbase server' error.
How can I remove these? Right-click delete option not available...
JTS

It is usually being picked up from the Shared Services Registry, if you run a registry report do you have 3 clusters?

Hyperion Strategic Finace are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections (EPMS 11.1.2.3)

Dears,
I'm can't access Hyperion Strategic Finance trhough SmartView because are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections.
But if I try connect trhough Private Connections it's work fine.
I've tried reconfigure Providers Services, but didn't work.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance

It should be possible using a Shared connection to Strategic Finance as it is documented - Creating a connection using Shared Connections , as far as I am aware it is only OBIEE where you have to use the XML method.
It might be worth checking in workspace under workspace settings and enabled products to see if Strategic Finance is enabled.

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.

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.

How to connect oracle with c++

i wanted to know that how should i connect oracle to c++.
kindly list me the commands which i need to write to access database fro oracle.
thanks ...

If you're attempting to use the ODBC API directly, have you downloaded the ODBC SDK from Microsoft? That will include some sample code, which is a great starting point. So far as I'm aware, you shouldn't need to configure anything in Borland C++ that you don't have to configure in any other C++ compiler to use ODBC.

I am very desire to kown the reason and how to solve the connection problem or the way of testing.thinks for your advince.

Oh So what i understand is u need to connect Smart view from excel to Essbase to retrive what bombastic figure u genrated :)
1. In Smartview options, click the Advanced tab and set the following in the Shared connections url:
http://machinename:19000/workspace/SmartViewProviders
Note: Make sure you can access HSS and Workspace on 19000 otherwise this url will not work.
2. Open the Smartview Panel, click on Shared Connections, and fill in your Shared Services username/password.
3. Click on the arrow next to the empty Drop Down List.
4. Select the 'Add New Server' option and fill in your Essbase Server information.
If you do not see the 'Add New Server' option in Step 4 this may be because Analytic Provider Services was configured after Shared Services. In which case please refer to the following Knowledge article for details on how to resolve this:
NOTE: Smartview 11.1.2 'Add New Server' Option Does Not Appear
Once the Essbase Server has been added you can then create connections for individual Essbase Applications and Databases. These can be created as Shared Connections, which can be used by all users. Alternatively, users can create their own local connections and save them as Private Connections.

"Open in Smart View" option. Hyperion Planning version 11.1.1.3

Failure to download planning form to Smart View using the "Open in Smart View" option. Hyperion Planning version 11.1.1.3. Error message "Web launch operation has been cancelled.
Your feedback is appreciated.

I understand you are on 11.1.1.3.
However, this is documented in the Known Issues section of the Smart View 11.1.2.1 readme and could be worth a try:
When you try to open a Planning web form in Smart View through Workspace, you may get this error: “Web launch operation has been cancelled.” This happens if Essbase has not been added as a server in Shared Connections. Workaround: Open the Smart View Panel in Smart View and add an Essbase server as described in the online help or "Adding Essbase Servers" in chapter 2 of the Smart View User's Guide.

Studio Drill-Through Works in Excel Add-In but not Smart View

So I have a drill-through defined that works fine in the Excel Add-In. But, when I try to drill on the same intersection in Smart View, I get "No drill-through reports found at this location." I used the same member combinations for both, so I know the intersection is correct. Am I missing something simple?
-Brian

There are some limitations on drill through:
These are two ports >>transport.port and server.httpPort.used to communicate with Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in and Hyperion Smart View.
In Hyperion Smart View, drill-through will not work properly. You must refresh the port number stored in the cube by following the instructions in "Updating Cube Linkage" See the Essbase Studio Online Help or Essbase Studio User's Guide.
Change the HTTP Port Number:
If you add an entry for the server.httpPort property in the server.properties file to change it from the default setting of 9080, the following is the state of drill-through connectivity on cubes built prior to the port adjustment.
Note: Cubes built after the port adjustment will work properly. In Smart View, drill-through will work properly.
PS:
With shared connections, Smart View always connects first with the EPM Workspace Web application to authenticate the user and then connects to each provider using the EPM SSO token. With private connections, SmartView authenticates with the provider
Adding to solution if your using 11.1.1.3.01 try adding PATCH:9779433 will help

Importing FR into Smart View 11.1.2.1

When I open smart view and connect to FR, try to open an FR doc, I get the respond to prompt then an Essbase Error(1051085): You do not have sufficient access to get this substitution variable.] Any ideas what this means?

It means that you for some reason do not have access to one of the substitution variables created in Essbase that the FR report reads from.
Check with your Essbase developer/admin to determine which variable in question is causing the issue and resolve accordingly.

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.

How to see Shared Members in Smart View on Ad-hoc Analysis mode

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3.
For the alternate hierarchy we have created shared members. But in Smart View we are unable to see Shared members hierarchy in Ad-hoc analysis mode.
Is this limitation in Hyperion Planning?
Or
Is there any way to see shared members Hierarchy in Smart View in Ad-hoc analysis mode?
It is urgent requirement Please let me know as early as possible
Thanks in Advance!!!

When you say open data form in Ad-hoc mode, can you do that? I think when you select Ad-hoc mode, you are basically connecting to Essbase and therefore need to manually select the members. (of course, I've got a 11.1.2 env right now so not too sure of 11.1.1.3)
I'm able to just go to Member Selection and select whatever hierarchy i want, Shared or Stored, when I'm connected to Essbase. When connecting to Planning, I dont have any option of opening the form as Ad-hoc mode.
Can you see the hierarchy if selecting the members using Essbase connection and not planning?
Cheers,
Abhishek

Essbase connection error via smart view

Hi All
I'm currently experiencing difficulties connection to essbse via smart view. The application has two databases. All users can connect to one of the databases but not the other one. The essbase server password has not been changed. The version we are currently using is 11.1.1.3
this is the error from the smart view log file.

Any assistence will be verymuch appreciated.

Hi,
I got this error while connecting to the Essbase server through EAS Console. To resolve this issue I just removed the Essbase server from the Enterprise view and added the server again. After that I was able to access the Essbase applications.
But I am not sure about smart view. Also make sure that you are using the correct login credentials to login into the server.
Thanks,

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!

Unable to connect to essbase server with Smart View

Hi,
I'm having trobules connecting Smart View in order to make some adhoc analysis, however I could perfectly establish connection with Planning and navigate through web forms in excel.
The address I'm using to connect to Essbase is: http://<server>:19000/aps/SmartView and the planning url is http://<server>:19000/HyperionPlanning/SmartView
I've been already using those urls in other server with version 11.1.2 but now that I'm trying to connect to a server with v11.1.1.3 I just can't. Whenever I connect to Planning in order to see the forms a prompt appears with the message saying that "I'm connecting to a server with an older version" but I could perfectly work with the forms. When I connect to essbase, I can see the Applications but I just can't make any adhoc analysis.
Could anyone have any idea of what could be happening?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user9143843 on Jan 13, 2011 4:58 AM

Thanks for your response, I've already checked that port and keep getting the same message "Common Provider null datasource error". I can see the applications but can't get any further than that, no analysis adhoc, no smart slice, only disconnect :(
